You, as a class, have come more nearly ex- pressing my ideals of what a class should be than has any other group of students. You have not only averaged high in scholarship thru your four years of work, but you have by large majorities always stood for the best things in school. You have left a trail of memorials as you have passed from verdant freshmen to worthy seniors. Each one of these reflects your appreciation of the school and the ideals for which you want the school to stand. E It has been a pleasure and a delight for me to lead you. l do not recall a single instance when you have not responded with a beautiful spirit to my requests. l do recall many instances when you have stood behind me in my work and assisted me in the way that meant much to me and the school. This last year has not been an easy one. lt has been in many respects the most difficult one in my experience. Your helpfulness, your spirit, your confidence in the school and its faculty have in no small measure helped to bring us out to a satisfactory and victorious close. With these thoughts in mind, I sincerely regret to let you go. Yet, when l think of what you have done and of the work that you have yet to do to lit you for taking part in the great world's work, l gladly tal-re each of you by the hand and bid you God Speed. A school can be judged truly only by its graduates. The Central High must stand or fall by what is to be found in you as you are. The price which the city has paid for your training must be less than what you are worth to the city or the invest- ment is a failure. Page seven I am convinced that whatever test any one may put to you, you will nmake good. l fear not any criticism from any source when a finishing class has the record of scholarship and qualifications of character that you possess. Old Central sends you out into the world's work knowing that you will 'lmake goodg knowing also that we will ever possess your respect and love for what you have received within its gray old walls. Central will expect each fellow to do his part nobly, in whatever part of the world he may go, or whatever he may do. In taking your stand in life, stand squarely for the rightg let nothing tempt you or cause you to waver. Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee, Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tonguesg be just and fear not, Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy Cuod's and Ti'uth's. Your principal, JOHN N. GREER. C Page eight A PARTING WORD HARDLY know in what form to express my tu?3??'l 'Pm . final words to the class of l908. Last year I ' v 37 tried to say something about the class motto, ft X f -, ' . . . Q ' but your motto, Carpe d1em 1ssos1mple and L r '1'-W. . . . . so definitely in accord with the current ideals of young people that it is hardly worth while for me to make any comment upon it. So permit me to say a few words that, while they do not scintillate with the brilliancy of a time-honored maxim may yet serve some purpose in helping to direct your future career. It might be worth while at the outset to overhaul your stock of common sense f' individually, I meanfand see how far it will carry you. It will have to provide you with street car fare in the future and in fact is quite likely to take care of any other transportation charges you may in- cur in your travels. When it gives out, the conductor will put you off the train. Then it might be well to get out your ideals and brush them up a bit. You will find some of the dust of neglect on them: also a stain or two of doubt and, may be, they are tarnished here and f there with cynicism, Ideals, if bright and clear, will keep you looking young and brave not only to other people, but, what is most important of all, to yourselves. If you have any ideals worth the name, you have also stored away somewhere a stock of faith. Page nine Faith in Godg faith in right for right's sakeg faith in the influence of such agencies as tend to uplift. Hunt this faith out and have it always near you. You may need sometime to fall hack on it for your daily bread. Then somewhere else about the house, in your work-room if you have one, you will find something the world calls de- termination Get it out and you will never need a cane. So, whatever your motto, if you find that you are posses- sed ofa reasonable supply of Common Sensegn that you have bright Uldealsg that you have a wholesome Faith and a strong Determination, l do not look forward to your futures with any great degree of fear. May success he yours. L.. N. MQWHORTER. Page len ... ,l 1 i ' I nj! -vw Boarcl of Editors WILLARD M. CRIMES, Editor-in-Chief HAROLD N.

Lest any be apprehensive Jngqkgn of the journey, let it be known that the editors do not believe that any joke contained herein will bring on convulsions, neither do they guarantee that the mere reading of this book will induce sleep after all soothing- syrups have failed. To account for our production, it comes of noble stock, being able to trace its lineage back thru two generations. The Sen or publication of '06 was begun late and hurriedly put together. It consisted of the class play neatly sandwiched be- tween two layers of alumni, class and undergraduate articles. The idea of devoting space to the alumni and under- graduates, put forward by '06, was seized upon and brought to perfection by '07. Their book was divided into five parts, one part being set aside for the alumni and the others reserved for the four classes. The great drawback to this was that it left but little space for contributions from the Seniors themselves. The Freshmen beamed forth on the reader. the Sophomores rejoiced in their allotment, the Juniors were present in all their glory, but one might read the leather covered tome thru and still be woefully ignorant as to who constituted the Senior class and just what they had done. This year we have endeavored to issue a book represen- tative of our class. I-leretofore a startling percentage of those graduating have been completely ignored. To remedy this we arranged to publish the pictures of all who had the courage to face Doc Lee's rapid-firing, never-miss-em, look pleasantn ap- paratus. Our personal mention and permanent address idea Page twelve will, we hope, prove a success in keeping together what man will put asunder at G-raduation. No space has been given to the lower classes as, being un- organized, but little has been accomplished by them. We realize that in due time, as Seniors, they will publish a record of their own deeds. At present they will be more interested in finding out what is coming to them in the Senior year than in hearing premature orations on their future greatness. With malice to none, and solace to all, we leave the journeyer to his fate. WILLARD M. CRIMES. Ediior in Chief. IS SCHOOL WORTH WHILE jffsW fQl 'Z3f- SHORT time ago there appeared, in one of the mia' A -un . . . Y SMS standard magazines, an article on the relative 1 values of no education, of a common school education, of a high school education, and of WZX . . . . C' l A .1 acollege or university education. The writer I 'Y 1 l i' lip' f 'Ai H2547 of 'gil ' 31'-fi . 4 59:31 Sugar H G I ' of this article stated on good authority that a person with a common school education has about sixteen times the chance that a person of no education has, a person with a high school education about twenty-two times the chance of a person of no education, and that a person with a college or university education has about fifty-six times the chance of a person with no education. These figures may appear too large upon first consider- ation, but anyone can prove their accuracy by looking about him. ln nine cases out of ten, one will find the unschooled man or woman doing the real drudgery of life, digging in the ground or scrubbing for a living. The man with a common education does fairly well as a carpenter or rough mechanic, or Page thirteen perhaps clerk, in the case of a woman, as a saleswoman or dress- maker. A man with a high school education does Well as a business man or as an apprentice to skilled labor. ln the case of a woman, the chances are for a good stenographer or busi- ness woman. The college or university graduate, however, may choose almost any kind of work. Professional courses graduate physi- cians and lawyers. There are a number of courses fitting teachers for special work. All kinds of expert engineering can be studied. A field is always open to the ambitious. The academic course fits for business and general work. Of course, there is always the well-worn argument of people who succeeded in life altho handicapped by lack of education, but it must be admitted that each and every self- made person has had his or her limitations caused mainly by the lack of school training. Again some people may become discouraged because they have not acheived wonders during their high school courses, and consequently argue that a university course would only add four years more of study with no definite good resulting. These people ought to be cheered up, or ducked in ice-water to wake them up. They should know that great brilliancy in school work does not always promise success in life, but good steady, patient striving gets there every time. ADDISON LEWIS. Page fourteen o ,.

A LAST WORD Honor and shame from no condition riseg Act well your part: lhere all lhe honor lies.fPope M us ask ourselves this question seriously for the Q I A whole course of our future lives may depend vi . upon the ideas and purposes which are em- ,X ' bedded in our minds during the process of Qj . School Life-What has it meant to us? Let if . ' our earlier training. It is a noble thing to start out in life with the determina- tion to attain the mark set. But this resolve is not in itself sufficient to insure a young man's future. The mark must be worthy of an effort and the effort must be worthy of the mark. The young man who chooses what he is reasonably certain of being able to attain may reach his mark, but he will go no higher. How different it is in the case of the young man who takes for himself the highest ideal, who sets for himself a mark difficult of attainment. Though his greatest purpose may never be consummated, yet in the struggle he has gained strength and in striving for the greatest he has achieved the great. It is often said That college is the place where the only true and lasting friendships are formed, and where lasting and valuable impressions are made upon the mind. But this is not always true. We cannot get away from the influence of our earlier education and training. The one who starts into High School with no definite pur- pose, and with no desire but for acquiring an education, may come out at the end of the course with much book learning, but he will not have acquired that development of character and mind and have attained to that decree of excellence which a High School course is intended to give. The very ease with which a higher education can be ob- tained now seems to turn us from it. We think it is not worth the struggle. This condition of affairs should not exist, for the Page seventeen time is near at hand when a man without a college education will be as helpless, and as inefhcient as a soldier without arms. Moreover we are placed here with a definite purposefto leave the world better for our having lived in it. If we hope to carry out this purpose it is necessary for us to make our lives as efh- cient as possible. Our achievements may be small but should our reward be less if we have struggled manfully? A man's real success in life should not be measured by the world's standard which considers only the visible results. If we develop our talents to the best of our ability, surely our lives can not be called a failure. HARRISON H. MCCALL, President Class of-Iune, '08, THE BUSINESS ACCOIVIPLISI-IED 'ERHAPS the business of the nineteen-eight 'tiki' class of Central High School would not be TTT interesting to any who were so unfortunate as not to belong to that class, yet in our own V9.2 world we have done much for which we are justly proud. After having become firmly established as Seniors, we turned our attentions to elections, that most absorbing of inter- ests to classes as well as to nations. The fateful event arrived on October twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh. The successful ones were Harrison McCall, president, Ellen Garlock, vice-president, Margaret Thomson, secretaryg and Louis Hahn, treasurer. The first need of the class was for a constitution, by which to govern itself, and various committees to carry on special work. The executive board with the aid of Mr. Pass- more, after some mental exertion, evolved a constitution that Page eighteen was favored by the class, November second. The Social Pro- gram and Financial committees were appointed on November ninth, and later on during the year the Class Picture, Class Memorial, Class Cap, Publicity, Class Play and Class Annual. Nothing can be carried on without money, and so there loomed before our class the financial problem. The trouble was first broachecl by Mr. May on November twenty-sixth, when he moved 'lthat the class clues should be made one dollar, pay- able in two installments. The matter was fully discussed by the members of the class, among them Mr. May and Mr. Dibble, but it was not definately decided until on January twenty-ninth, a roll call vote being taken the motion was carried. The class pictures were a matter of great moment. After deliberation the style was determined upon and the work given to Lee Brothers. Hither the members of the class have gone in order that the pictures of all, with that of Mr. Macwhorter, might be in our Annual. After being held in suspension whether or not we were to have this favor enjoyed by former classes, Professor Greer announced that, providing it should be representative of the best work of the class, we should have our Annual. The members of the committee have worked long and hard, needless to say, The Seniorn is the crowning glory of the class. Now at last there remains only one duty for us to accom- plish, and that duty by which the great door of the outside world is opened to us-Graduation: but of that the minutes will never be written, for we shall have scattered and Central a page turned down. MARGARET THOMSON Secretary Page nin I e TREASURER? REPORT r FIND, on comparison with the former classes F,-Jn.. .... 1 so ,J . . . . . . '.'- A 'W' if of this educational institution, that there is a most encouraging, gratifying and altogether stupenduous change for the better in regard to I 'fc 1 3'f ' l A monetary matters, and l assure you it IS the greatest pleasure to tender such a report for it is most gratifying to me to be the financier of such a generous and freely giving class. While we are such a prosperous organization there is one thing that menaces our prosperity.- The influx of money is so large that it is sorely taxing the great ability ofthe Financial Board. Seldom has such an opportunity arisen for the forma- tion of a bank and l hope this little suggestion will meet with approval and enlarge, for it is an opportunity which should be taken by the forelock. i We are most delighted to see that the financial flurry which has so affected the business men thruout the country has not come near home, for the immediate response to all dues, assessments, etc., has clearly proven to all that money is not in the least scarce, either in gold, silver or copper coins. But we sincerely hope that this matter of over-burdening the treasury will be taken up shortly by some Board--duly Fitted and appointed for the taskffor the purpose of saving the future classes of Central High School, such nerve racking worry, trouble of mind and the constant and necessary fore thought due to the above mentioned facts and we expect the removal of the conditions so complained of.

The committee planned T to give a series of dances during the year, the first of which took place at the hall of the l gg c Minneapolis School of Music, Nov. IS, l907. M -1yy Y Klum! 'P 7 ' A Y 'Lax mv. There were about thirty couples present and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Shortly after another meet- ing of the social committee was called and as the class was in favor of another dance, the date was set for December sixth. There was very little enthusiasm shown and as a result the party was a failure socially as well as financially. At the next meeting, the committee resolved to plan one more dance and if this was not successful no more would be given. On March sixth, at the Auditorium Annex the affair was given. It was the most successful social given in three years. The young ladies of the social committee had decorated the hall beautifully, and the party was consistent thruout. It was the first time for years that money was put into the treasury after all expenses were paid. The next party planned will probably take place May first, at the Ellis Hall or Masonic Temple. It will be the Alumni re- ception, and it is safe to say that as many as one hundred couples will be present.

A DREAM OF THE PAST D '08 AS FRESHIVIEN SDL N HY, hello, Esther. l've just been thinking about ua you and the good old days when we were ' - . . Freshmen together. Weren't we angels then? X Say, do you remember how trembly we used to get as soon as we approached Miss Pratt's classroom? l was simply scared to death of her and I don't know why either. She really isn't a bit terrifying. How many times did you get to the head in her class? How much of the first chapter of Caesar do you remember? Let me see: Gallia est ommis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam- dear me, l've forgotten the rest and I used to know every bit of it. Were you ever among those favored ones invited to be present at her matinees. They used to be quite famous! But didn't we use to have a circus in Miss Patterson's class? We acted terribly in class but we managed to learn a little chiefly memory selections, and the normal training we re- ceived when she made us be teacher made up for a good deal. What fun we had in drawing, tho! The poor teacher! l'm afraid we drove her almost distracted. l know we kept her busy trying to find enough work to keep us out of mischief. l'm sure you couldn't forget Mrs. Allard, who held such perfect sway over her dominion, that it was considered a crime, and a punishable one, too, to whisper at fifteen minute period or, worse still, while marching to classes. This discipline was just what we needed at that time to calm us down and show us that High School life is not all fun. Don't you remember how she had each of us write the sentence, Character is habit crystallized, and keep it in plain sight. l suppose that helped some to make us what we are now. You know very well that ours is the finest class that ever favored old Central with its presence. ALICE VAN F OSSEN Page twenty-sl WHEN WE WERE- SOPHS HE Sophmore year stands out in bold relief from Q 1 the other years in High School Life. First, be- T gb cause that year marked a period, when we threw off the Freshman habits and ideas La and started in earnest to reach the goal- Graduation. Second, because our Sophmore teachers took such an interest in helping us along thru the dark passages in Cmsar and in explaining to us that a triangle is a figure bounded by three straight lines. If we were to pick out the most prominent teachers, we would turn first to Prof. Thomas E. Hay ward, that illustrious leader respectfully called De Boss by his admiring pupils. As we all know Mr. Hayward superintended D Room. Mrs. Allard would come a close second in our admiration. Two room papers, the Advocate and the Kidder added to the spirit of the times. The editors of these two papers never missed any chances to lay bare the idiosyncracies of their fellow students. A Mr. HH . threatened to annihilate the editor of the Advocate for directing the public eye to his amusing attentions to a certain young lady. The Skits attracted more or less attention to its artististic cover designs. While these papers were published in D Room, which seemed to be the News Center, great bustle and hubbub was going on in G Room which had the reputation of being the social center of the class. Mrs. Allard had to summon up all her reserve power to keep the warriors in subjection. She succeded very well. We remember her only with the kindliest of feelings. It was with a sigh that we received our nwalking papers and were told to 'lstep up the aisle. JOHN COLGATE BUCKBEE' Page twenty-seven '08 AS JUNIORS QYQL 'H HEN we were Juniorsln How vividly that phrase 'K recalls to our minds the stiring scenes of B ' R I xl 0on'lRuff-house Korner' that well known in section of B Room, has never seen more ex- citing times than when the shining lights of our class first made it popular. Junius Edwards' pranks, Ralph Bostwick's first long trousers, the ejection of one of our honored editors from the Korner by way of the window, and a host of other occurrences, have become famous. Many were the con- flicts that occurred down the Appian Way leading to the Korner, but how suddenly the struggling mob of boys were put to flight by' the scurrying figure of Cousin Hi, charging down on the disorderly crowd! Our junior elections were strenuous, to say the least. No one will forget Bill Schafer, who aimed to be the Boss of B Room. The room itself was a mass of posters. Every avail- able space was utilized. After days of exciting campaigning, we were finally organized as a class with Walter May, president, Edna Nimocks, vice-president, Fred Acomb, treasurer, and Grace Ganssle, secretary. We were very fortunate in our officers, each one of whom worked well and over time. The papers of B Room were models of enterprising journalism. The Buzzer, and Lyre, edited by Willard Grimes, and The Smudge, edited by Edward Byron, aimed to keep the room supplied with local literary productions by such poets as Hunter Passmore and Addison Lewis, and with artistic car- toons by Claude Bintliff. Their work seemed to be appreciated, for copies of the papers were always in demand. The crowning glory of the class of '08 as juniors was the great Junior Ball. Harrison McCall as chairman of the social committee, assisted by President May, worked hard and suc- ceeded in giving, as everyone said, the biggest, most successful Page twenty-eight Junior Ball ever given by a Central Class. The Masonic Tem- ple hall was secured and decorated for the occasion in Oxford gray and Yale blue, the class colors. The reception room was decorated in blue and gold, the colors of '07 class, and frappe, kindly provided by Mrs. Evans, was served. The enthusiastic reports that everyone gave of it were ample proof that all had a very enjoyable evening. EDWARD s. BYRON THE '08 SENIORS T LAST we came to Senior yearg we were now P A Lfrmdi QQ' -1 Q at the top of the ladder, and most important. A Room was our abode and Mr. Macwhorter, l T L: l the autocrat of A Room, our taskmaster. W 1 . . - ix In e e ected Mr. McCall for president, Miss Garlock, for vice presiclentg Miss Thompson, for secretaryg and Louis Hahn, for treasurer. Our class meetings, that Harry McCall conducted with such boyish dignity, were lovely because they were so devoid of ill nature and hard feel- ing. Though Mr. Dibble and Mr. May did thrash out about every motion brought before the class, they were always good natured. I And who can say that a girl cannot conduct a class meeting? One day when Mr. McCall was not able to be present at a meet- ing Miss Garlock conducted it with such dignity and decorum that the whole class praised her, and some of the young gentlemen in the right hand corner of the room were so carried away with enthusiasm that they completely forgot themselves at the next class meeting and called for Mrs President, much to the embarrassment of Mr. McCall. During the first half of the year A Room was somewhat overshadowed by the January seniors. We all breathed a sigh Page twenty-nine of relief when they graduated for we were now the only seniors, at least in Central High School. We explored many fields of knowledge with our differ- ent teachers. Miss Williams drilled us in Old English so ener- getically that we scarcely spoke in any other tongue while study- ing Chaucer. We traveled to Canterbury with the Pilgrims and became so well acquainted with many of them, that the result was some very good dialogues on their characteristic points and little eccentricities. ln Civics we determined fine points of Constitutional law. The Political Economy classes discussed and settled many weighty questions that Congress had been wrestling with. The class boasted a number of orators, some of them having social- istic tendencies. The Senior Socials represented the festive side of school life. Here the Seniors congregated to enjoy intellectual com- munion, ausculate harmonious effusions, preambulate terpsich- orean relaxations and masticate comestibles.

Several in the class felt very sociably inclined toward one another and with great annoyance our honored teacher placed certain indi- viduals at extreme ends of the class. One brilliant young lady who felt particularly grieved because of the formidable distance between herself and a delightful masculine friend was called upon to translate nmutandae sedes and promptly cried out, Your seats must be changed, alas! Do not live in suspense with a pony, but, like the man who used a superfluous-hair-remover to take off what little show- ing he had on his head in order to end the suspense of seeing them drop off one by one, sweep aside the tantalizing book and live in peace and happiness.

Our distinguished alumni are numerous. Among those best known locally we might mention W. W. Heffelfinger and Ex- Mayor Jones. When positions were open for respon- sible men, the public knew where to find them. They looked with confidence in the direction of Central, and time has shown that confidence well placed. Some time ago, an organization was started for creating a realization of the standard of honor which Central should maintain. ln the hurry of other class business, the organization was neglected. Shortly afterward Mr. McWhorter remarked, quite facetiously, that possibly the reason for the lack of en- thusiasm in this Legion of l-lonor might be found in the fact that those who were, at first, active supporters of the movement, were now taking Virgil. This comment should not be taken too seriously, for we must consider its source. Central will not be unworthy of her good record. N EWELL E.

BINTLIFF Page filly-one E Page fifty-Iwo - fn 3 dm dx an-S-2 Page ffty folr Page fifty-Eve Tl-IE CLASS PLAY Cfabiuf, 'i HE Senior Class is to be congratulated upon the 5.23111 , choice of lVloliere's lVliser, as their Class Day Z!-QSTQ' , W 6 production to be put on in May. Not only is l ' . . . . ff? this play a dramatic masterpiece and a classic, fav . . . A but is also a thoroly actable play, making quite as strong an appeal to a 20th century Ameri- can audience as it did to the subjects of the Grand lVlonarque upon the first presentation. The assignment of parts was settled by trials in which all contestants had a fair field and no favors, and, altho the de- cisions were in many cases difficult, yet the progress of the rehearsals is demonstrating the wisdom of the method. It is early to speak of the histrionic abilities of those who have been cast for the parts, but it is perhaps quite safe to say that all show de- cided promise. Dale lVlcEnary, who plays the title role, shows an increasing understanding of a very exacting part, as well as ability in portray- ing it. Claude Bintliff as Cleante and Walter May as Valere make excellent foils, and will sustain their respective parts with creditg while jacques, the adaptable Coach- N man-Cook and the wily La Fleche, N are excellently interpreted byThom- as Barnard and Eugene Bibb. An- other cleverly contrasted pair are the lackeys Brindavoine and La Merluche, parts to which Donald Loper and Edward Byron are well adapted. ln the fifth act two new characters, Anselme and the Magistrate, make their first appearanceg those cast for Page fifty-six these parts being Glenn Carpenter and Karl Dibble, who have not yet had an opportunity to show their mettle, but it is be- lieved will not fall below the standard. The role of Elise is played with sympathetic feeling by Ellen Carloclc, and that of Mariane by Margaret Thomson with much spirit. Madame Cleremont, the mother of Mariane is interpreted with dignity by Corinne Odellg and the intriguing, match-making Frosine, with subtle appreciation by Henrietta Henricksong while Agnes Claypool lends herself admirably to the comedy role of Dame Claude. Much progress will be made in the weeks of rehearsal that yet await the aspirants for histrionic fame and they are planning to demonstrate that the play's the thing. GRACE A. WILLIAMS. OUR CLASS PLAY SIDE from the ribbon bound diplomas that ac- 'U company the ceremonious graduation exercises of the senior classes of Old Central, there is ' mwUTn i perhaps nothing that is more important to the A Af complete satisfaction of the june graduate, than the knowledge, that the class to which he claims membership has given a class play just prior to the grand exit into the world outside of the school room. It may be, in all, a matter of mere precedence, that governs the classes in this regard, and it may be the outcome of a deep feeling of justice to our capabilities, that prompts us as mem- bers of the senior class to devote weeks and months to the arduous work of producing this novelty in thesnature of a class play. However this year, we are pursuing a method peculiarly our own, and representative of a body of illustrious, students who have banded themselves together and united their efforts to bring out the best that lies within the recesses of their Page fifty-seven versatile minds. As our finale in the course we have been fol- lowing, we have chosen a classical play, The lVliser, by Moliere' one of the greatest comedy writers of any age. The selection came only after weeks of wrangling and discussion over the pros and cons of many others, but, in all, the selection has proved satisfactory to the majority of the class. When the final decision was announced formally to the class, there was evinced a somewhat unfavorable attitude by a few of the members who were not acquainted with the true situation governing the class day committee. These particular members had hoped, with good cause, for a light musical play, lively and amusing in its entirety and as far removed from the classics as could be secured. That hope was Vain enough, as the school board had made rules which made the selection of a play of that nature a near impossibility. ln the play by Moliere, we have secured one that is a sample of the best of its class. The production when executed will bring out some of the real talent in our class. There are numerous opportunities for character work and unlimited room for development in many lines of stage art. The comedy, for such it is, is actually comical and unlike the classics, with which we think we have been bored while transgressing the stony roads of knowledge, is alive, and to all but the dullest minds possesses a rich store of humor and wit. The entertaining feature of the production, is, of course, to be considered first, but any additional points of value that attach themselves, might bear our deliberation. We are willing to let the production speak for itself in the first regard. But the moral that the play brings to us at so opportune a time can not fail to be recognized. The Misern deals with- the lesson to be drawn from the excessive greed for money and comes with peculiar force to us as we are preparing to enter the world, where the temptations of money may have every influence in shaping our future careers. The lesson exists, we may take it and profit by it or we may pass it by. WALTER W. MAY. Page fifty-eight SEEING CENTRAL THRU A IVIEGAPHONE Q3 ERE you are ladies and gents.

Yonder windows upon whose sill the youths and maidens are sitting are known as the spoon holders. No, Madam, that case does not contain antiques, it con- tains trophies won by Central Athletes. You see no modern ones among them, that is because they don't give trophies now. To the right you will observe the picture cabinet, con- taining pictures of famous athletes, to aid in their identification their names are on the mats. Still further to the right observe the lunch table. The best people in the school patronize this counter. I occasionally buy a sandwich here myself.

There, said Katherine, locking Page sixty-one the door, you stay here where you can't plot against me, and you had better write your essay on the 'Petro-graphic Compari- son of the Ontogeny and Phylogeny of the Tiuguaite-homblende- amphibole-rocks of North Americaf' Then seeing the struggle that would ensue for possession of the key, Kitten rushed to the window and dropped it out, before her chum's astonished eyes. How will we get out? We won't, we won't! chuckled Katherine, at least not until Mr. 'Red Book' gets tired. Then we will fly on honey. And Jenks, she added, making herself as tall as her four feet, nine inches would allow, the sooner that essay of yours is done, the sooner I will plan to rescue you from this stronghold. All right, sighed the subdued Genevieve, 'lyou always have your Way, you adorable, unreasonable creature.

Oh, Mr. 'Painter', she called, seeing a man examining the paints and brushes near the house. 'Will you bring me that ladder? No, Jenks, I don't want you to come. You finish that essay. Thank you, Mr. 'Painter'. Gathering her skirts about her and shutting her eyes tight she descended the ladder. Now if you will kindly move away that ladder, so that my room-mate will not be able to follow me and make me meet a man, I will be very much obliged. I think I can make use of you, so you had better come with me. I will make it all right with Mrs. James. Without giving the man a chance to speak she packed a dozen pillows in his arms, threw several rugs over his shoulder, and hung two baskets about his neck. Now we are ready. just follow me, she said flashing him a radiant smile, there are times when men are necessary and I know you can help me, Mr. 'Painter'. This is the night of our class play, and we must decorate one corner of the gym, and we have just two hours to do it all. They worked like Trojans placing rugs and pillows in cozy groups, hanging up strings of Japanese lanterns, and filling baskets and urns with snowy apple blossoms. It is just beautiful! Katherine said surveying their work, and you are so clever. You should be a decorator. nwell a painter is sort of a decorator, isn't he, ma'm? You see, he explained with a smile, I always did take to painting even when I was a kid and I've sort of been dabbling at it ever since. People seems to like my work real well, and it brings me a comfortable living. Katherine looked at the young man with pity and admir- ation intermixed. Not one of the men who came to see Gene- vieve had such a handsome, noble face. He was so strong, his eyes were so kind and humorous, and his broad forehead indicated remarkable intellect. To think that this Apollo' was an uneducated laborer! Katherine was afraid of men, Kather- Page sixty-three ine the favorite of all her teachers, the pet of all the girls! Little Kitten, who would rather see a mouse than be left to talk to a young man! But this was her secret, and she let them all believe that it was dislike instead of fear. Some way this man gave her confidence and pleasure. It was Fate. lf you will come back to my house with me l will pay you, said Katharine, as they closed the gym door. Pay, the painter exclaimed, please don't ask me to take pay ma'm. I enjoyed helping youg but if l could come and watch you act to night. Why you shall. Oh, won't the girls be surprised though! They told me to get a man. Call for me at eight o'clock and l will see that you sit in the front row. Here they turned the corner and came in sight of Gene- vieve leaning out the window, and the sight of little Kitten with a man nearly made Jenks loose her balance. As they looked up, she exclaimed, 'ljack Collyer! Jack Collyer? echoed Katherine. 'ljack Collyer, affirmed the culprit. You had no right- You didn't give me a chance to explain.

UR entrance into Central three years ago may Y. . . not have differed widely from that of other 0:5 A FB, classesg however we feel that when it comes QMWW5 to athletics and scholarship we are even AQTJ' 'il , . superior to the classes which preceded us. But it is not in field victories, nor in classroom excellence, alone, that '09 claims her distinction. There are other and nobler bonds which cement the classg that happy spirit of unity which is never lost, and which has been the magnet to draw the class closer and closer, is the source of a nobler pride. No factional spirit is present to mar any occasion, and it will be among these class-gatherings and harmonious associations, that memory will find its pleasantest glean- ings. lt is to this unity of feeling that the '09 class owes its success. After a friendly but spirited contest lasting one week from the nominations the class has been or- ganized. The usual committees have been appointed by the president, and ., .., these are at present employed in ful- filling the purposes of their appoint- ment. As we are about to pass into the Senior year we feel that we owe '09 CLASS OFFICERS the faithful and conscientious teachers Pres., Roy Wilcox who have so patiently and carefully Vice Pres., Mildred Colin . .

ROY WILCOX, President Class offune '09 TI-IE LUNCH RGOIVI N a discussion of Central, that institution, the lunch room, should not he neglected. If all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, so all study and no refreshment seems to have the same effect. The lunch room has supplied the refreshment and with the best resultsg in- deed Mr. Junius Edwards, after exhaustive researches, holds that the high standard of scholarship of june '08 is largely due to its large consumption of nut-bread sandwiches during the career of the class. Let us view the home of the lunch room, its cafe in our day light basemementf' The furnishings of the cafe are simple and rehned. There are nine seats provided so that when the usual afternoon crowd of two hundred or so wish to sit down to lunch, several have to keep on wishing. Having secured a seat, fifteen minutes is allowed by law for the contemplation of the menu and fifteen minutes more for getting up an appetite before your order appears. Often your order appears in sections, but there is method in that. You or- der a sandwich and milk, the sandwich arrives and is consumed five minutes before the milk. ln such a case the average person will order another sandwich to eat with the milk, some milk to Page sixty-nine accompany the sandwich and so on nad finitum, to the profit of the management. It may be noticed that most of the items on the bill of fare are in a liquid or hashed state, but this has been found neces- sary as so many of the Freshman are troubled with teething these days. The lunch room has accomplished muchg it should accom- plish more. The forchestra, band and debating society have aided with their patronageg more societies should be organized for the same purpose. The faculty has this in mind, their recent action encouraging many of us to spend our afternoons among them, having for its object the booming of the lunch room. A marble cafe and three feeds for one cent are in sight. Rejoice! HUNTER PASSMORE O!

BAND NE. of the difficulties which always has to be overcome in the developing of an amateur k ,S band is the securing of the large instruments Q lgv igl as they are expensive and not suitable for solo work. A student buying his own instrument wants to play a cornet, clarinet, or some other solo instrument. When the needs of the band' were presented to the students last fall and a voluntary contribution asked for, a hearty response was given and money enough was secured to buy sev- eral of the heavy instruments. An appeal was also made to the leading business houses of the city to contribute instruments and the Metropolitan Music Company and the L. S. Donaldson Com- pany each contributed an instrument. Mr. Harris of the New England heartily seconded our efforts to own our instruments and rendered valuable assistance in securing new instruments at wholesale. The regular band now numbers thirty-eight. Besides the regular band there is a Beginners Class of twenty-six which meets once a week and is doing good work. Many of the mem- bers have good high grade instruments and as rapidly as a mem- ber becomes proficient he is admitted to the regular band. There are six girl players in all, three in the regular band and three in the beginner's section. Why not more? Some eastern schools have entire bands composed of young ladies. Next fall we can go to the football games with a High School Band of over forty pieces. An organization of this kind is not a thing of a day's growth nor of a single year's growth but must be built up gradually. Every student who can play ought to do so and every student ought to stand by the musical organ- izations of C. H. S. and by the men who are giving their time and energy to help keep alive a wholesome school spirit and to give our School a musical standing second to none in the county.

The negative side of the state question, Resolved: That the Federal Government should subsidize the the Southern States for the benefit of negro education, was chosen by Central to defend, but the East Side with the af- firmative gained the decision. Shortly after the East Side debate, Central received a challenge from Faribault High School. The challenge was ac- cepted, but the decision again went against Central. In this case, however, the members of the team feel that the adverse result was due to the fact that they had met a different style of debate, in a position particularly favorable to its exponents, and consequent- ly the decision was hardly justified. The hopes for a team next year are much brighter. A Debating Society has been organized with a membership of forty. The object of this society is to develope a team which shall place Central fax in the lead. There is no doubt that part of the reason for Central's non-success along this line lies in the fact that there has been no means of picking out the best men in the school. The material has always been present, but the team has not always been made up from it. This organ- ization is designed to remedy this state of affairs, and if the school will show as much interest in it as its object deserves, Central will again stand at the head of the list.

Especially T was this true financially, for the school turned ls! -as ue- vA'.r5'fT WM' 52 out and supported the different branches of 2 sport as it had never done before. Beginning with the baseball season of 1907, when the team was able to buy new suits fwhich had been sorely needed for over five yearsl, and ending the football season with the neat sum of S210 stowed away in the bank, this was shown to be true. But, altho it is very fine and a thing that is needed to have good support from the non-participants, it alone will not bring school athletics up to the mark. What is most needed at Central is more hard, and consistent working fellows to enter the different .branches of sport. No branch has the number of candidates it should have from so large a school as ours. A school with nearly a thousand boy students unable to keep a second baseball team in the field, unable to present more than three men for each event on the track, and lastly, unable to keep a second team out in football, this is not very commendable for the boy students of the school. Better support along this line will be needed next fall, for, with only three C men returning, it looks rather dubious for Central un- less a large number of candidates turn out, and don't quit when the first team men begin to get picked. Nobody can tell what is going to happen before the season is over. A good instance of this was the season of l907. Starting off with nearly a full team of HC' men, the prospects were never brigh- ter. The first few games were won by a good margin against good teams. Then some of the other schools began to show what is commonly called a yellow streak by starting the usual mid-season barring, finally barring two of the best men on the team, Willis Tinkham and john Nichols. These men came under the tech- Page save ty se nical interpretation of the rule, but from a broad and sportman's point of view, they should have been allowed to play. The claims were that Nichols and Tinkham had been in school four years, which would make them ineligible. Tink- ham had never failed in a study in his entire high school course, but took three subjects outside his course, which at the time was perfectly correct. A term later the Board of Education passed a rule making credits outside of a chosen course of study void. This naturally applied to Tinkham, and caused him to come back for another term in order to graduate. john Nichols, while a First term freshman, failed in his studies. Not entering into athletics until his junior year, and being practically a double plus student at the time, he hardly believed he would be held to account for the past. Like his team mate, however, he was dealt a rank injustice, and the team received a severe injury to its chances of getting the champion- ship. Now the rules have been so revised that there will never be another occurence of that kind. While speaking on the subject of football, the school's thanks should go out to George Webster for his aid in bringing the team out of the slump which it took at the time of the South High game, and for his offer to coach the team in I908. With Paul Webster as captain, Phil Lewis and McLeod represent all ofthe veterans returning. This leaves the coach to develope eight first team men out of new material, but, if the men will turn out and boost instead of knocking, chances are yet bright for a championship team. PAUL TOBIN.

'07 was very success- KJ f 1 ful from the begining of the season to the end. Q T NN The men turned out in April, under the cap- ,ammgfqj taincy of David Sutherland of '06 track team L and management of Mr. Doane, a prominent - -tag v faculty member of the N. W. l. A. A. Altho the men were nearly all new and inexperienced, the regular training soon made all seem like old timers at track work. The inter-class trials were held at the state fair grounds on May l I. The Juniors carried off the high honors, followed by the Seniors. The first meet was held with the Menominee, Wis., high school at Menominee. Altho defeated, the boys were not dis- couraged for they showed what they could do against a well Page seventy-nine trained team of men as Menominee always brings out because of the splendid athletic facilities at hand. On June lst at the Northwestern interscholastic meet, held at Northrup Field, some of the men did excellent work. Robert Hopwood, a junior, won the 100 and 200 yard dashes with ease against some fast men. Hopwood is now attending school at Andover, Mass., and some good work is expected of him. The University interscholastic meet, held at Northrup Field, june 8, showed the remarkable development of the Central boys. Out of schools from all parts of the state, Central won second place, being led by Shattuck only. It was at this meet that gold watches were given as first prizes, and three were won by contestants from Central. A large loving cup was also won by Central for defeating all other relay teams. Last fall a cross-country run was held at Central. Two cups were offered for the winners. Carl Jones, '06 track mem- ber, presented the cups to create interest in cross-country running and fall training. A large number of men turned out and a five mile course was run, the winner being Elba White '09, and David Sutherland, captain of '07 team, took second place. It is to be hoped that some alumni member will give a cup for a cross-country run next fall. RICHARD CAGE.. Capiain Track Team '08. S. S Q- X Q 1 1 L' 5 Q y ' . - N E 95 Kun A 30,r.r.f . NSS?

Altbo the team did not win all its games, still the great interest shown on the part of the school and the healthy exercise obtained by the players fully macle up for that. About twenty boys were actively interested and nearly that number took part in every practice.

Some of the candidates are as follows: catcher, Field, Rose and Putnamg pitcher, Shears and Lyleg short stop, R. Ross and Bosworthg lst base, Rydell, Gage and Geo. Vanstrumg 2nd base, Douglas and Oweng 3rd base, H. Ross and Longfellow. The field positions will be filled by choice from the follow- ing men: Card, Kent, Patterson, Swanson, C. Vanstrum, Reynolds, Lyford, Wheaton and possibly others. This season is destined to mark an epoch in High School baseball. Everyone is optimistic about the team, the whole school has risen from its usual state of lethargy regard- ing baseball and enthusiasm is at its height. Heretofore Cen- tral has not played more than three important games in the city. The interim between these has usually been so long that interest naturally lapsed and the spring season financially and other- wise has never been remarkably successful. A High School League has been formed this year including St. Paul Central, and three games will be played with each school. By this arrange- ment the exact strength of each team will be easily ascertained and championship complications will be a thing of the past. For instance last year Central and South each claimed the championship each having lost but one game. Great interest was manifested last year in Central's game at the North High field. The odds were heavy in favor of North but Central took a brace, every man, including Bresky, forgot the feminine quantity in the bleachers and Central wound up the season by winning their final game 6 to 4. Spalding Bros. have offered a splendid pennant for the High School championship. If the school supports the team Page eighty-seven this flag will be tral's going to championship pennant will red and blue. With such splendid material Cen- make the hardest run she ever made for the and, unless the dope all goes wrong, the l908 rest in CentraI's hall with the cups and other trophies as one more symbol of Central's supremacy.

Nearly all the important colleges and schools are now rep- resented by tennis teams, which take part in the many intercollegiate and interscholastic tournaments Ineld in various parts of the country. Of these, the one of the most interest to Central is the Deephaven interschol- astic. Page eighty-eight That this tournament can be held is due entirely to lVlrr Ward Burton, one of the foremost tennis men of the Northwest, who not only takes the entire management of it, but also lends his beautiful courts at Deephaven for it to be played upon. The tournament is contested by teams of three men each from the Twin City high schools, and it is significant of Central's po- sition, that three men of its former teams represented last year two prominent eastern colleges at the national intercollegiate tournament at Philadelphia. Two years ago Central won the tournament, and by so do- ing gained the cup for keeps. Last year Mr. Burton offered a new cup, which St. Paul Central, by winning the tournament, got the first of the three points necessary for permanent posses- sion. Their success was very largely due to the great playing of John Adams, who put out Brucholtz and Storms of Minneapolis Central in hard matches in the first and sem-fiinal rounds of play. But this year all these men have graduated, and although Central will feel the loss of her two strongest men, it will be conpensated by the absence of Adams, who, by being individual winner, has added four points to his team's score. Thus, this year, the tournament will be won by the school developing the best new men, and there is no reason why Central should not be that school. Last fall there were forty-two entries in the school tournament. With this increasing interest every thing is favorable for a most successful season this spring, for a close and interesting round robin tournament and the choosing of a strong team to represent the school at Deephaven.
