The Tiger is the embodiment of our school spirit and the unconquer- able fighting spirit which enables us to carry on under stress. The Tiger gave us the inspiration for rousing school songs as well as the origin of the orange and black - Central's representative colors. To the Tiger we give our honor and loyalty with the hope that we may ever retain these ideals. We hope in this Girardot to give the students a better understanding, to inspire in them a hearty interest in their school, and to aid each in striving to attain the high qualities of a good and honorable Tiger. 5- vga' Q Q 41 ' T S +9 :A 1 a S s i Dedication Tiger, tiger, burning brigbt In the forest of the night, What immortal band or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? - Wfilliam Blake These lines bring to mind the respect and admira- tion that is felt toward the Tiger by all Centralites, and it is to these Tigers of past, present, and future that we dedicate the 1947 Girardot. We commend the Central Tigers of the past who established the traditions of honor and courage which have been handed down from year to year by the students of this school. On the Tigers of the present time there rests the responsibility of blazing new trails and demonstrating leadership and dignity, qualities derived from the spirit of the Tiger. In the Tigers of the future, we place faith and hope, along with the knowledge that they will uphold the en- thusiastic spirit of accomplishment which has been the lamp by which all paths to truth, beauty, and success are lighted.

Central High! ...IO- R rx. Superintendent and Board Mr. Schultz came to Cape Girardeau in 1925 and became an industrial arts instructor in Central High School. In 1928 he was made principal, succeeding to the superintendency upon the resignation of Mr. 1. A. Whiteford in 1955. Before coming to Cape Girardeau, Mr. Schultz coached athletics in Maryville from 1916 to 1918 and held a similar position in Flat River from 1919 to 1921. He then served as principal and later as superintendent of the Morning Sun Consolidated District in Iowa. His next position was that of in- structor in mathematics and industrial arts in Pontiac, Illinois. Mr, Schultz holds a degree of Bachleor of Science in Education from the Cape Girardeau South- east Missouri State College and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Iowa, where he received recog- nition for outstanding work in the field of education. Daniel Webster said -- If we work upon marble, it wll perish, if we work upon brass, time will efface itg if we rear temples, MR. L. SCI-IULTZ they will crumble to dustg but if we work upon im- mortal minds, if we imbue them with principles, with the iust fear of God and love of our fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity. How well the theme of Central High School endeavor is blended into this picture. It matters not where you are or what you do. If you are ever ready, industrious, loyal, honorable, happy and proud of your achievements, then you have met the requirements which entitle you to be registered in the Tiger hall of fame at Central High School. The true test of your high school career comes when you are away from school or have graduated. It is my sincere hope that each of you will always reflect honor upon yourself and your school. Central High School fame was built by those who preceded you and they in turn rightfully expect those who come after them to carry high the banner of Central Tigers. May BOARD OF EDUCATION you do your part to keep the Tiger spirit at its best, President - Mr. H. A. Lang Secretary - Miss Elizabeth Walther Vice-President - Dr. A. C. Magill Mr. Charles W. Bauerle Treasurer - Mr. W. H. Oberheide Mr. Manning P. Greer Mr. Rush H. Limbaugh Finance Committee -- Mr. Oberheide, chairman, Mr. Bauerle, Mr. Limbaugh. Buildings and Grounds Committee - Dr. Magill, chairman, Mr. Lang, Mr. Greer. I . , -11... MR. PAUL JENKINS Mr. Jenkins received his Bachelor of Science degree from Southeast Missouri State College and a Master of Arts degree from Missouri Univer- sity. He has also done graduated work at George Peabody College for Teachers at Nashville, Ten- nessee. Before coming to Central as an instructor in social science, he taught at Fruitland and Bernie. When Mr. Schultz became superintendent of the Cape Girardeau Public Schools in 1935, Mr. jenkins succeeded him as principal of Cen- tral High School. To Central Students: Mas. Lucius SETTLE NAETER Mrs. Naeter has attended Hardin College for Women, Washington University at St. Louis, and received a B. S. degree from Southeast Missouri State College. Last summer she was granted an M. A. degree in guidance frcm Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois. She came to Cape Girardeau as an attendance officer and sub- stitute teacher from Dexter, Missouri, where she was a teacher. Later she served as principal of the Broadway school. At present she is assistant principal and guidance director at Central. During the coaching days of Mr. Emmanuel Drum the Tigers made their debut. Since then not only have athletic teams been designated as Tigers but the cheering squads have been Tigerettes and the school paper is called The Tiger . Each student that has entered Central High School has become a member of the family of this jungle animal. The Tigers of Central High School in years past have builded a reputation based on some of the attributes of the jungle tiger. One of these is a competitive spirit - in athletics, music, scholarship, public speaking and school spirit. Another is fierceness of purpose in uphold- ing the traits of character that have always made Central High School Tigers outstanding. They are courteous, ambitious, comrades in fellowship, and excel in scholarship. A tiger is courageous. It does not fear adversaries. Neither do Central High School Tigers', fear to face the responsibilities of life. The courage to think, speak, and act on problems facing civiliza- tion are needed now. We look to you Tigers to meet this challenge. 'HOQ Gi ADAMS, LUCILLE B. S. in Ed. - History Southeast Missouri State College, University of Southern California. BLUMENBERG, EDWIN A. B. sq in Ed., A.

The purpose of this club is to create and develop interest in this Held. This is carried out through discussions and studies of electricity and different types and principles of engineering. Since the dis- covery of electricity, electrical engineering has been a growing vocation and its future leaders must be prepared. The boys devote their club period to such discussions as modern electrical developments, modern sciences, and personal experiments with electricity. The club did not reorganize the second semester. - S1 - Forum Club 'BQWaw Left fo riglaf, Row I - Brown, jackg Jenkins, Buddy, Rister, Stanley, Summers, Roy, Goodwin, Fred, Bing, Bob.

Although it requires a great deal of Work most of which is done outside of school hours, the Girardot Staff derives pleasure in publishing the school annual. It gives a record of the school year and a picture of the school as a whole which will provide happy memories in later years. The work is di- vided among three staffs, each working separately under the guidance of a faculty member. The sale of Girardots, the taking of pictures, and the handling of Hnances was handled this year by Miss Adams and her group. The art and literary sections were supervised by Miss Haman and Miss McLain. To herald the opening of the Girardot sales campaign, members of the three staffs put on an assembly on October 18, which carried out the jungle theme of the book.

Organized in 1927 under Miss Clara Hoffman, the Typing Club has ever since been one of Centralys most useful clubs. Perhaps few other skills can assist students more in later life than that of typing. Since the world is moving faster in methods of manufacturing, communication, and transportation, one can readily see the need for accomplished typists. This club offers an ex- cellent means of Ending student's aptitude for typing. Because the principal activity of the club is to learn the keyboard, no officers are elected.

Members learned and discussed traffic rules and regulations, the relationship of the driver to his car, and seven qualifications of a good driver. They are mental fitness, knowledge, judgment, skills, habits, physical fitness, and most important of all, his attitude. To in- crease the knowledge and fitness of the driver and thus prevent future acci- dents is the two-fold aim of the club, and it hopes to continue to increase its membership and thus increase the number of safe and law-abiding automobile drivers. Officers of the club were: president, Bob Heath, vice-president, Bob Profferg secretary, Dean McGowan, and treasurer, Glenwood Blechleg sponsor, Mr. Rudert. RETAIL SELLING CLUB The purpose of the Retail Selling Club is to give students an idea of what retail selling is about. The first few club periods were given to discus- sions of occupations in general, selecting and preparing for an occupation, and how to get and hold a job. The rest of the semester was devoted to a short, concise course in retail selling itself, emphasizing these points, meeting the customer, finding what he wants, demonstrating the merchandise, and sug- gestive selling along with the closing of the sale. Members of the club were Richard Wilson, Johnny Reynolds, Richard Flentge, Jack Priest, Eugene Scarlett, Danny Day, Leroy Dietiker, Jerry Proffer. Sponsor was Mr. Summers. SHORTHAND CLUB Under the sponsorship of Miss Gockel, the Shorthand Club was organ- ized the second semester to give students a chance to find out their ability in this field. It is primarily a Ending club and after instruction during club periods, a student will likely know if he will be able to take a full shorthand course later on. The members learn new symbols, and as their shorthand vocabu- lary increases, whole sentences are written. No officers were elected. The seven- teen members were Joy Balcom, Marilyn Brinkopf, Kathryn Burton, Betty Cobb, Mary Arnell Farris, Joan Gleason, Georgia Lee Kern, Lucille King, Barbara Lacy, Joyce Nichols, Billie June Randol, Dorothy Reed, Leila Reid, Nadine Sams, Patricia Strack, Leta Vasterling, Winona Willa. ...74.... :ff X km rx, Football Lettermen Left 10 right, Row I - Young, Bob, Estes, Jean, Williams, Robg Reynolds, Johng Paar, Buss, Stalon, Gary, Ryan, Geneg Griffaw, Bill, Hopper, Harvey.

She did her junior college work at Wil- liam Woods College in Fulton, Missouri, and then obtained her B. S. in Education degree from Southeast Missouri State Col- lege in Cape Girardeau. An M. A. degree in health, physical education, and recreation from Columbia University in New York City was received in 1945. While working on her masteris degree she was director in playground work in New York, also teaching swimming at Lincoln School in that city. She has also taught several summers at State College in Cape Girardeau. Before coming to Cen- tral, Miss Towse taught at Kewanee, Mi- souri and at Lorimier School in Cape Girar- deau. Miss Towsls This year the work carried out in the physical education department was similar to that of previous seasons. Volleyball and basketball tournaments were held and in addition there were soccer, speed ball, individual sports, and softball. Good sportsmanship, cooperation, and physical improvement are the three main objectives of this department. PLAY DAY Accepting an invitation from the W. A. A. of the Southeast Missouri State College, eight Central girls attended the annual district Play Day held at the college on April 19. They were: Emma Lou Robbins, Delores Alford, Sue Cauble, Luise Montgomery, Bee Devenport, Betty Propst, Shirly Newman, and Melba James. Lunch was served to the girls at noon. This get-together is to further the ideals of play and good sportsmanship and not for competitive skill. In 1935 when the first Play Day was held, there were only sixty girls in attendance. Now the number has grown to over four hundred. ..g0...

We think he'll make a good one. 4-Everyone seems h3Dpyf?J as can be to be getting back to the same old rou- tine, 5-First practices were held today for cheerleaders to jump up and down be- fore our Central tribes and give us pep. 6-Say! Who's holding up the lines? Oh, it's just those girls that practiced cheerleading yesterday. Ouch, My mus- cles. 9-We visited Monday Clubs today. It's more fun to watch the freshies running around getting into the wrong rooms and getting all tangled up in our jungle paths. 10-Big elections on hand today. All our tribes need officers. The first pay- ment was due on our student activity ticket. 11-This was the day to visit Wednes- day Clubs, but we think more visiting was done in the halls and jungle cor- ners. 12- We're off to the animal fair The birds and the beasts are there. No School today. We got off for the county fair. Plenty of animals were on hand, too. 13-Our assembly today was on Charm and Personality. It seems that even jungle lads and lassies must have these two in order to click. At last the new cheerleaders are chosen. They are: Mary Burciaga, Colleen Lee, and Pat- tie Brady, regulars, Dorothy Maier, Louise Montgomery, and Emma Lou Robbins, substitutes. 16-Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! All you would-be John Barrymores and Katherine Cornells, come to the Audi- torium ipardon me, the council ha'llJ after school this afternoon to try out for Silver Spear. 17-Tryouts for Red Dagger are today. Such learning of lines and emoting in the halls. 18-Suspense! Suspense! Did we make it? A time of waiting for the result of those awful tryouts. 19-We are to have a Cotton Carnival Queen Candidate, and we wonder Who it will be-Peggy, Jeanne, Barbara, or Virginia Lee? The voting is all over, and Jeanne Snider is it. 20-Why are all the jungle halls cleared this noon. The explanation? The Tiger is out for the first time this year. We mean our school paper, you silly. We are still talking about the Red Dagger and Silver Spear initiation in assembly, Simply tops! 23-Guess what? Jeanne Snider won the Cotton Carnival Queen contest and was crowned by Governor Donnelly him- self. Weren't we proud of our dark- haired jungle beauty? She wore a red taffeta and velvet formal. Long black gloves completed the costume. 24-The first meeting of the student council met today with Mr. Jenkins, Big Chief, and assistant, Bob, in charge. 27-All Central clubs and sponsors were announced today in assembly. Big get- together for all tribes. We also had a warming up period for the game with our Tiger foes from another jungle. 30-tSaturdayJ We lost the game, but just wait-we'll win the next one.
