S. C. Gale, who, as donor of the annual prize for composition and oratory, has greatly stimulated interest in these departments, and has conferred a lasting benefit upon the Central High School, this book is respectfully dedicated. Hon. Samuel Chester Gale The Hon. Samuel Chester Gale The Hon. Samuel Chester Gale was a native of Massachusetts, born at Royalston, Worcester county, September 15, 1827. He had five sisters and four brothers. His father died in middle life, leaving the family very poor. He had very little education up to his seventeenth or eighteenth year, when he entered an academy. He afterwards entered Yale University, from which he graduated in 1854 with high honors. He came west to Minneapolis in 1857 on a visit, and recognizing the natural advantages and growing prosperity of the city, he determined to remain. Mr. Gale has made Minneapolis his home ever since. He is one of the few who have seen Minneapolis grow from a small town to the metropolis of today. It is due, in no small degree, to his untiring eflorts and thoughtful attention that the school system has reached its present excellent standard. He has always had a particular interest in the Central High School, from the time when he was instrumental in starting it over a hide store on Washington avenue, with fifty or seventy-five pupils, to the present day. In a very short time these quarters were found to be too small to accomodate the increasing number of pupils. In spite of the opposition of the city council and some of the citizens at the time, Mr. Gale finally influenced the board in 1874 to erect a new building, and the west wing of the present school building was built. Mr. Gale was chairman of the committee in charge, and while the school system cannot be said to be the work of any one person, yet, we are indebted to a great extent to his efforts for the present excellent standard it has reached. In fact, he may be called the father of Central High. In February, 1888, Mr. Gale gave to the Board of Education $1,000, from which the annual income of $60 was to be used for prizes, the prizes being awarded to the members of the graduating classes of Central High writing and delivering the best original English orations or essays. Mr. Gale did this because he thought it was for the good of the school and would create an interest in and encourage not only original thought, but also public speaking. It will serve as a monument that will live as long as Central exists, and should be an inspiration to all pupils passing through its doors. GENEVIEVE KING. Vice President ’09. M n N. Greer, Principal Classes of 09 T he classes of ’09 deserve our heartiest congratulations. You came into Central when we began to feel the presence of numbers too much increased. For three years you bravely and without complaint stood the ever increasing throng, until in your junior year you could scarcely find your friends each day. In your senior year only have you known what it is to have things comfortable and roomy. When I consider your merits from all the different standpoints, I am very proud of you. Your scholarship is excellent. Your conduct is all that I could ask. Your spirit and good will is a “triple plus.” You passed through the period very annoying to us all. when the “frats” were exterminated. You all now agree with me that there is not a feature of the real work of the school but that is much improved because the “frat” is no more. Every one has noticed and spoken of the “united spirit; everybody works and cheers for Central.” Old Central is united and herself again. The knockers seem to have disappeared from every class room. For all this we are greatly indebted to you who have been in the very midst of it all and borne it as true soldiers, battling for the right. Besides you lost a full third of your number by the opening of the West. It was not easy to let so many good friends go. They, however, have gone forth to establish a worthy standard in a new school. You have not faltered, but closed up the ranks and made good for Old Central. No class, even though unbroken, has made a better record than you. I want you to know that your principal and faculty appreciate it. You will soon go forth to advanced work. Old Central expects you to do your duty. I hope no “flunk records” will come back to me from your different colleges and universities. 1 his will not happen if you will only c’o as you have been so often urged to do. Do all you can to help Central to get “remodeled.” Come and visit us when you can and give the undergraduates a “boost” when they need it. Do stanch and strong work wherever you may go. Be stanch and strong men and women for truth’s sake. Affectionately, your Principal, JOHN N. GREER. 9 Central at Present A XC ord to the WVse I shall try Id say net much more than a word and we will take it for granted that you are wise. An appropriate topic for me to discuss would be. I think, “ I kings As They Ought to Be.” “ I hings As They Ought to Be,” constitute the stufl of which creams are said to be made. I here is not one of you who has not had such a dream, and the quality of that dream has set for you a standard of noble living. Your conception of what things ought to be is going to determine for you the measure of your success or failure, ycur happiness or disappointment in the days that are before you, and very largely, too, will it determine the same elements in the future of these with whom you come: in contact and whose lives yours will influence. So, when you dream, dream noble dreams; let your aims be high, your purposes lofty. Consider nothing as worthy of your interest and effort unless it makes you ai d those about you better and truer men and women for having participated in it. Vale! Vale! Vale! 11 l. n. McWhorter. BOARD OF EDITORS LOUISE GILMAN MARGARET GREER Associate Editor MORRIS BAKER Associate Editor Editor in Chief HELEN CATES FRANCIS ANSLEV Associate Editor MARSHALL BASCOMB ‘Business Manager 12 Our Purpose Our purpose in dedicating this Annual to the Hon. S. C. Gale is to show our appreciation of a kindly act done twenty years ago. And the June class of ’09 join with the faculty of Central High in assuring Mr. Gale that his action is appreciated by us all. Our purpose in giving the January, ’09. class so much space in our Annual is to secure more good will and co-operation between the half term classes at Central. Our purpose in having the cover in blue and gold is that it is our class colors, and we are proud of them. Our purpose in giving our own class so much space is that this is our book and who would have a better right to it? We wish to thank Mr. Greer and Mr. McWhorter for their kind help in preparing this book, the thanks of the editors are also due to Mr. Miller, the photographer, for the photographs he has presented to us, free of charge. Hoping that the work done by the Annual board is satisfactory to the class, we remain. Yours respectfully, THE EDITORS. 13 OSCAR BRECKE 'PresiJtnt class officers GENEVIEVE KING CORINNE BLISS Stcrttary LEROY ROSE Tr taturtr Seniors We have all followed the e entful history of our class with the greatest of interest. So it is unnecessary for me to say anything here of our record. But before looking towards the future I do want, in behalf of this class, to express our gratitude to Mr. Greer and the other members of the faculty, for the invaluable service they have rendered us. One ship drives east and another west. With the self same winds that blow. ’ I is the set of the sails and not the gales Which tell us the way to go. 1 he future is before us. It is bright with possibilities. 1 hese possibilities must not be wasted. I here is a place to be filled by everyone of us. It is for us to say whether we will fill that place as we should. We may not all attain positions of great material wealth or public honor. But what of that? What is it that really counts? What makes the true man or the true woman? The first essential of true manhood is principle. A man must be honest. He must have the strength to choose what he believes to be right, and to follow the course he has chosen. He must not be turned aside by petty obstacles. It is such honest principle which gives stability of character. But underlying this we must have a spirit of charity. Each one of us should strive to exert some influence for good among his fellowmen. We should do something for the betterment of mankind. I hat is our mission in life. It is these persons who through principle build up a strong character and who use this strength for the good of mankind that are respected and beloved by their fellowmen and can really be said to fill their place. We are now at the turning point of our lives. Right now' we are laying the foundations of character. Let us then, as we enter life’s stormy seas, trim our sails for the coming blast, so that every ship bearing the flag of June, 09, shall come safely into port. OSCAR BRECKE, President Cliss June, 09. 1909 Class J leeting On divers and diverse days, of different months, various meetings were called to order by the president (with the exception of one, where the president, positively refusing to appear, the meeting was ably led by the vice president, after a trifling delay of two days). Innumerable minutes were read by the secretary and approved—mostly. Laying aside all discussion as to the clock and its vagaries, the following business was transacted during the year: 1. Committees were appointed. 2. The class decided to depart from the ways of its predecessors, and, scorning ancient tradition, substitute sweater-vests for caps as a class emblem. With the embarrassed assistance of William Weil, the style and material was chosen. So, if you see, roaming at large, a gray sweater-vest with a thin and scrawny ’09 straggling across the left side, it is the senior class emblem. But don’t judge us by that. We were young then. N. B.—The girls were cordially invited to invest, but, as no reduction was made, they have been content to leave these marvels of beauty to the boys. 3. We decided to have our pictures taken at Miller’s. As there is nothing small about us we chose a picture 10x12. It is rumored that some of our popular fellow-students are repapering their rooms. 4. Financial. T-A-F-T spells prosperity. So does R-O-S-E. Starting the year with a good surplus left from the receipts of last year’s Junior Day, our conservative treasurer has so managed that no contributions or subscriptions have been asked from the class this year, and we will be able to make up any deficit in the receipts of I he Senior. This affords the board an opportunity to put out a better book for the same price. 3. We decided to have our class play, “The Rivals,’’ by Sheridan, at the East High Auditorium. This is the business up to date. We have still to decide upon and present our class memorial. There remain to us three more months of Senior fun and jollification and then one more class will graduate from Central and it will be the commencement, and meeting adjourned. CORINNE BLISS, Secretary Class June, ’09. 16 Treasurer s Report We have heard that money is the root of all evils, but give us a little more of the root. Our class has fared very well in comparison with former classes of Central High in regard to financial matters. A good start is half the battle, and we got that start as Juniors. We did not give the customary Junior Ball to the Seniors last year, but established a precedent by having what we called a Junior Day. This we all remember as being very successful and inexpensive. We organized as Seniors, and Mr. Greer turned into the treasury something like $25, which was left over from the Junior class. I his has not happened to many classes of Central High. 1 hey generally spent part of their Senior dues paying up debts contracted as Juniors. The class has not as yet been asked to pay any dues, and it is hoped that such a thing will not be necessary. The first party given by the class brought mcney into the treasury, but the last two were not as successful financially. However, there is still a balance in the treasury sufficient to pay running expenses. It is expected that the class play will pay for itself, the class memoiial and any deficit that may occur. I assure you it is the greatest pleasure to tender such a report, for it is most gratifying to me to be the treasurer of such a class.

Paul Taylor, Howard Reynolds, Ira Wells, Ethel Elliot, Mary Fraser and Mary Walrath, assembled early in the fall and decided on their plans for the Senior Socials. A series of three dances, besides the Alumni, were arranged. The first of these was given on I hursday evening, December 17, at the hall of the Minneapolis School of Music. Despite unfavorable weather conditions, the social was well attended and proved a success both socially and financially. About sixty couples enjoyed the program of dances. 1 he second social was given on I hursday evening, January 21, at the Auditorium Annex. 1 he hall was decorated in the colors of the class and those of the school. Artistic programs, bearing the class monogram, were one of the characteristics. Music was furnished by a string orchestra. I his dance was also well attended. The third social was given Saturday, February 20, at the Auditorium Annex. This dance culminated the series, in which that spirit which has always characterized the school, was present.

I hose in J room remember the countless numbers of substitutes we had during that first term, the tall fat man and the short little ladies; then discipline ran w'ild until stern Miss Pratt came and held sway over us. I hose in F room were kept in strict control by their dear teacher. Miss Forester. But in truth we needed all the discipline the faculty could offer before we entered the easy going ways of Mr. Hayward and Mr. Uhl. MARGARET GREER. As Sophomores Those who have had the pleasure to bask in the sunlight of Mr. Hayward’s smile will well remember their Sophomore year. To be sure our next door neighbors did a few' things of moment, such as presenting Mr. Uhl with a stein, but even in this they followed our example of a gift of a box of cigars to our room principal. For the most part they were drawn to D room as steel to a magnet. During a greater part of the year we derived much amusement from the weekly “Kidder,” and there was much excitement over the “beauty contest.” 1 he ability acquired by many members of the class, such as Caroll Speers, Evalyn Camp, Leona Jacqua, Everett Norcross, in writing for this paper, perhaps added much to their fame as our representatives in the Annual for 1907. The last few weeks of the year we were all trained in parliamentary law, a serious and yet hilarious procedure. Who would have thought that Cal Wanamaker would rule so well a Senior class, when he had such difficulty in keeping thirty students in order as “chairman of the house.” 22 HELEN CATES. LIBRARY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL As Juniors As Juniors our class was for the first time all in one room; in B room, with Mr. Richarcson as room principal. Individually, the class had dene remarkably well in scholarship during the Freshman and Sophomore years, so it is not surprising that it should be a good organization. In March we elected Roy Wilcox president, Mildred Coffin vice president, Orpha La Croix secretary, and Howard Reynolds treasurer, after a week of exciting campaigning. Mr. Wilcox appointed the committees for class colois and pins, and a social committee which, with Mr. Greer, planned a Junior Day to be given for the Seniors instead of the Junior Ball. After a program in A room there was dancing in B room, which had been decorated with the class colors, and Mr. Pehoushek’s orchestra furnished the music. This Junior Day was a new departure tor Central, but was considered a success from all standpoints. All Juniors study Shakespeare’s plays and. as there were many talented people in the classes. Miss Dougan and Mr. Richardson, the two Shakespeare teachers, drilled several of these artistic ones for the parts and presented a few of the scenes from “Macbeth,” “As You Like It” and “The Merchant of Venice.” Altogether, the class was fully prepared both financially and as an organization for the duties of the Senior year. LOUISE GILMAN. 23 As Seniors And then we became Seniois. Senior—ah! what does not that single word mean to the striving Freshman, Sophomore and Junior. The end of the three years of hard study. I he beginnings of the social life of the school. These friends we have made during the three years, how good it is to have these people who have worked as hard and struggled as hard as we have now enjoy with us the last year of our high school life. United by class organization, we tried our skill in many various ways. I he Senior informals, the alumni reception, the class play. All have been successes. We, now about to leave school, look back over the year with nothing but pleasure. Of course, we have worked; it was not all pleasure. Under Uncle Mac we followed with much labor and much help, the various adventures of Aneas. Under Emerson we discovered that all metals are not gold. Under Ferguson we soon learned how to draw a straight line with a ruler, while some few of us attended the classes of Schirmer and Didier and were soon able to translate their Anglo-German and Anglo-French offhand. Now, as we make our final bow, we look back with pangs of regret and almost feel that we would like to remain yet another season at Central. We must now part from most of our friends. We shall probably be distributed in many different places. Seme of us will never meet again, but nevertheless we will always hold dear the memories of those friendships made at Central. And if we do not meet will greet with pleasure those people who have struggled, played and studied side by side with us for four almost too short years. 24 FRANCIS ANSLEY. Our Uncle The Class Register | Compiled by the Editors. | In this record we have done our best to give each member of the June, ’09, class a statement of his record at Central. If we are at fault, forget and forgive. If anyone is not mentioned it is because there was some trouble or uncertainty over their graduation, or they had not class spirit enough to get their picture taken. 1 his register is a directory of addresses, and is for most part in alphabetical order.

Her indifference in the face of Uncle Mac’s disapproval is appalling. Fred Wesley Cooley, 3429 First Ave. S. Mr. Cooley comes from Warren, 111. He entered Central in his Senior year.

Philip C. Fjellman, 2020 Chicago Ave. “Phil” is one of those quiet dignified chaps who expects to impress one with their dignity, but he ought to know by this time it doesn’t always work. 41 Helen Mildred Foote, 3300 Clinton Ave. Helen is one of a pair of feet that is like any pair, in that one cannot get along without the other. “Footey is a noble example cf what a sister should be.

Charles Hutchinson, 3806 Blaisdell Ave. “Chuck” is one of these fellows who cheer the athletes of their school to victory, but refuse to get out and try for a place. Many a star is lost to Central for this reason. 47 •vis-v Laura Elizabeth Ingham, 3MO Fifth Ave. S. Miss Ingham is a girl who never jollies the teachers.

The Telephone Wire Sign Captured by the June 09, Class. “Old Central a J Iemory The glad news has just reached us that a considerable appropriation has just been granted to the board of education for remodeling or rebuilding the Central High. Mr. Greer has for a long time hoped for this, and it is largely through his efforts that it was obtained. Central is the largest and best high school in Minneapolis. It is also the oldest. The building has gone for many years without repairs. Now it is necessary that certain improvements be made. The school is not modern. It has no auditorium and in fact needs improvement along all lines of equipment. 1 he effect of these improvements on the school will be invaluable. It is just what it needs. Although the building will be changed, it cannot change the school. The Old Central spirit will still prevail. It will simply be giving the old school, the old spirit, a new home. But it is not without regret that those who have attended the school in the old building see this building remodeled. There are so many traditions and associations connected with it. We all love “Old Central.” Here is good luck to “New Central!” OSCAR BRECKE, President of June Class, 09. The Class Play The class of June, ’09, has always stood for the best in everything and desired that its class play, which represents a class so well, should be a standard one. either classic or modern. Keeping this in mind we feel we have done justice to our motto, “En Avant,” and taken a step “forward” in choosing “ 1 he Rivals,” by Sheridan. It is a play of the eighteenth century, first produced in London in 1775, and revived in America in 1896 by Joseph Jefferson, with an all star cast. It abounds in wit and humor and furnishes ample opportunity for good acting in all the parts. I he assignment of parts was made by trials which were judged by a committee of teachers and pupils, and although the choice was very hard to make, the rehearsals are daily proving the wisdom of the decisions made. As yet it is too early to speak of the special histrionic abilities of each member of the cast, but the rehearals are giving great satisfaction to Miss Williams. The Lyric was obtained for the production, but word was received from Dr. Jordan positively refusing permission to give the play in a downtown theater. The East High School Auditorium was then secured for the night of April 23, on which date the play will be given. ORPHA La CROIX, Chairman. 74 Cast of “The Rivals.' MO OWIJ TS1 DOM IKMOVf JANVARY POSSVNT QVISE POSSE SENTIVNT TO ““Jill Introduction When the “B” Seniors made it known to us, that we, the “A” Seniors, were to have a section in the Senior Annual, it naturally awoke a great deal of spirit. In a very short time a committee was arranged to take care of our section in the Annual. 1 he members of the committee seemed only waiting this chance to show their talent in the artistic line as well as in prose and poetry, and certainly excellent talent has been discovered along these lines. Owing to the fact that this is the last time A” Seniors of January, ’09, will have to express their ideas in black and white, they will try and do justice to their work. For this privilege it wishes to thank most heartily the graduating class of June, 1909, and would recommend to the following Senior classes that they adopt this same plan in their Annuals, thereby bringing unity to classes and a spirit of school patriotism for which good old Central is far-famed. ROY E. CHOATE. To the Class of January, 1909 We have now reached the goal toward which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short, years. Although losing our class pleasures, we will still retain them in our memories. The knowledge which we have acquired during our four years at Central is good, so let us not shrink from the difficulties of the future, but meet them face to face. In after years when we return as Alumni, it will give us great satisfaction to review those never-to-be-forgotten lessons acquired within the gray walls of Old Central. The time is now at hand when it is necessary for us, as a class, to part, but the ties of friendship formed by us during our high school career will never be weakened. We go forth as members of a large family, to meet again when occasion offers, always ready to help one another, and never forgetting to honor Old Central. And now, fellow scholars, the class of January, 09, has separated, never again to be united in the school room. May prosperity and happiness attend both teachers and scholars in their future careers. CAL WANAMAKER. 73 CLASS OFFICERS, JANUARY, ’09 Cal Wanamal(crt President. Kathrine Riheldaffer, Vice President. Mamie Stearns, Secretary Ro j Choate, T reasurer. 6061 ‘foonuof January, 1909. B Seniors B Seniors, the January, ’09, class is leaving you. Just a few more days and old Central will be sad and still. It is useless for you to try to detain us. We are fully aware that there is a plot on hand to that effect, but nevertheless we cannot stay. The ever watchful A Seniors have discovered your plans on time. Even though President Brecke has called you for secret meetings and with burning words has explained to you why our class is essential to your welfare, we cannot remain and see you through. Be reasonable. B Seniors, we have learned all that Old Central has to offer. You should realize that the business, the spiritual, the educational world is calling different members of our class. We realize that we are everything to you; that you have looked upon us for encouragement and followed our example. But B Seniors, be reconciled in your loss, work hard and perhaps some day in the far future you may grace the auditorium stage in the cap and gown becoming to your dignity, and receive the long-worked for and well-deserved diploma. GRACE J. LINEHAN. Sonnet on English Literature When I consider how my standings fall. Ere half my days in this dark school and wide. And recollecting hew my teachers chide. Fear that my stay is short in learning’s hall; Then to the muse I fain would loudly bawl. But she, with haughty mien and scornful pride. From me. Alack, her longed for face doth hide. And unresponsive stands in spite my call. Oh, would that I could seize the scornful maid And wring a sonnet from her stingy grasp. Why should the creature still refuse me aid. Although in supplication hands I cling. Forgive this fright which I inflict on thee. If she had helped me, it might better be. S.'{ CLASS OFFICERS JANUARY. 10. Frederick Johnson, President. Donna McKinsiry, Secretary). Olive Rorve. Vice President. Carl Russell, Treasurer. January 10 As a midyear class, we are considered as having a lack of strength and activity of spirit, which is more usual in the spring classes. But we feel that the January, ’10, class is an exception to this general belief, for nothing but the warmest ties of acquaintances and association exist among us. Phis fact is shown by the enthusiastic and spirited, but friendly, contest for the class elections, which resulted in an organization of complete harmony and universal feeling. It is to this splendid and ideal unity, and not class excellence and high standards alone, that we will look back with a cherished memory, after we have each gone our separate ways through life. A great deal of credit is due to our ever faithful and patient teachers, who have worked so energetically with us. They have strived to develop in us a strong individuality of character, upon which depends largely our future life, for as we all know, every one must bear his share of the general burden. It is a pleasure to look forward to the time when the members of the January, ’10 class can take part in the world’s great achievements with a success that will cause our teachers to be proud to claim us as graduates of good old Central High. OLIVE ROWE. Vice President, January, ’10. 85 Jean Robertson, Pice President. Grace Lecfy, Secretary. James Rush, President. Paul Currie, Treasurer. The Juniors, 1910 Like other Juniors, we entered Central three long but seemingly short years ago. What has time and labor meant to us? Probably more to some than to others, yet we all feel that we have accomplished something very important in the course of our future lives. In scholarship we rank high, but in athletics we have accomplished very little. However, we credit ourselves with a nobler victory which we have gained in class spirit. It is upon this that the June, ’10 class bases her distinction and upon this class unity in the coming year that we depend for our success. After a friendly but spirited campaign lasting but three days, the class has been organized. The usual committees have been appointed by the president, and these are busily planning for the prosperity of the class. Now that we are about to enter our Senior year, we wish to extend our most sincere thanks to the teachers who have labored so patiently and conscientiously during the past three years in laying the foundation for our future success. We also hope that we can raise our scholarship so high as to be a credit not only to ourselves but also to our former instructors. Last, but not least, we hope that the class of June, ’10, will continue to help “Old Central” make good. 87 JAMES RUSH. Debate at Central Every contest of the year a victory, a larger number of votes of the judges than any other school in the city; this is Central’s debating record for the year 1908-1909. A year ago the school divided honors for last place. A year ago last February the Debating Club was organized. In the bi-weekly meetings of this organization the foundation for the present success was laid. I o learn by doing is the underlying principle constantly practiced in the work of the club. Any good cause soon wins support. 1 he enthusiasm already created by this club was intensified by the kindness and generosity of a patron of the school. Mr. Frank M. Warren offered three gold medals to be given to those students who should represent the school in its public debates. The Warren medals were awarded for the first time at the June commencement of last year. Since that time this form of encouragement has been permanently secured for the debating interests of the school. Whatever forensic success Central may in future years achieve, it will in no small degree be due to Mr. Warren and to the enthusiasm which his interest has created. The organization of the City Debating League at the opening of the present school year assured four debates to each school. Success from now on depended upon the native ability of Central students, upon their persistence in accomplishing the task they had set for themselves, upon their faithfulness in long and protracted effort, and upon their loyalty to the interest of the school. Those who were interested in Central’s debate record believed that these qualities were present in the student body, and not once during the entire period of preparation have they had cause to falter in this belief. To work faithfully in the interest of a cause without the prospect of immediate reward, is one of the best indications of ultimate success. This, Oscar Brecke, Senior member of the team, did all last year. In his assistance to the team then representing the school, and in his work in the Debating Club he was alike invaluable. By persistent effort he developed his splendid ability in rebuttal which proved so effective in every contest. Carl Painter as Central’s first speaker always made a lasting impression by his clear analysis of the 89 question and by the grace and ease of his delivery. Donald Robb always proved his power to handle the facts connected with the question. His determination to impress the judges was always apparent, and his earnestness of presentation never failed to convince. The members of the team have manifested the “Central Spirit” at its best and to them belongs the honor of victory. CLAUDE D. SIEHL. The Central High School Debate Club was organized in January, 1908. Up to that time the only debating organization was a class which never exceeded ten members. The work was not at all representative. The interest taken by the students was insignificant. The members of the new club carried on the debate work with great activity during the spring term of 1908, and for such a short time splendid gains were made. When the work was taken up again in September the club had thirty members, fifteen of whom were trying for a place on the team. All this year the club has been flourishing. For such a short time remarkable results have been accomplished. The Debate C lub is now a strong organization. There is nearly $ 100 in the treasury. A championship team has been turned out. And above all, the interest and enthusiasm of the whole school has been stirred up. Mr. Heard is the head debate instructor. He has been ably assisted by Mr. Siehl and Mr. Willis. 1 hese teachers have spent a great deal of their valuable time in helping the club work and in coaching the team. They deserve much credit. In short, the aspect of debate work at Central has been entirely changed. This great change has been brought about through the club in just a year’s time. There are certainly great possibilities for the future. I he students have awakened to the fact that the Debate Club is not only essential for the training they receive, individually, from it. but for the general welfare of debate at Central. The time is now at hand when the privilege of belonging to the Debate Club is appreciated. OSCAR BRECKE, President of Debate Club, September, ’08. 90 DEBATING TEAM CHAMPIONS OF MINNEAPOLIS HIGH SCHOOLS. 1909. Donald Robb. Carl Painter. Oscar Brccl(c. “The Orchestra About three years ago, when the announcement was made that an orchestra was to be organized, much enthusiasm was shown. The organization consisted of about five boys and four girls. Under the leadership of the able and ambitious Mr. Pehousek, we crawled slowly but surely out of the corner of the amateurs. Our first real public appearance was the concert at the East High Auditorium. It was a great success. Tempted by our good work in public and on the school programs, our number increased. The business end of this organization is held up by our most worthy faculty member, H. E. Orsborn. He has put forth strenuous efforts, using his own personal funds to make this undertaking a success. Without this always cheerful and smiling person, the organization would still be in the most primitive stage. One whom we must not forget to mention is our director, gifted with a talent of which very few are able to boast. He took in a group of raw material and led them step by step to an efficient organization of which no school need feel ashamed. We fully recognize the work that he has had to contend with and sincerely trust that he may continue to impart to us his valued knowledge. The orchestra has given several demonstrations of its work, showing from time to time, vast improvement, and its performances have been very favorably criticised. It has been requested by some of the students that the faculty of the Central High School take this matter in hand, and credit such pupils as are members of this orchestra, in the same manner as they are given credits in other studies of the same cultural value. R. L. BAERNSTEIN. 92 « The Choral Club For the first time in its history Central has had a C horal Club. 1 his club, organized last fall, has in every way proved a success. It was very fortunate in obtaining Mr. Vogelsang, one of the best instructors of choral work in Minneapolis, as director. It started out with about seventy-five girls and six or eight boys. I he number of boys has gradually increased, and by the time the club gives its concert, which it hopes to be able to do in May, it expects to have at least twenty-five good male voices. The club, although it had had only about eight rehearsals, was able to render one number at the graduation of the January, 1909, class. Considering the time spent in organizing and picking out the voices for the different parts, it is thought that the club did very well. I he rehearsals have been held every Tuesday afternoon from 1:30 to 2:00 o'clock. We of the June. 1909, class, who belong to this organization, sincerely hope that the Choral C lub will become a permanent feature of the school in the future and also wish it the very best of success.

Starting the season with only two veteran players and a squad of lightweights, it was predicted by newspapers and all familiar with the football situation that Central would do well to win one or two games. There was no one that thought it possible that the giant North Side team could be defeated by the midget Central team, whose average weight was only 140 pounds. It was evident at the beginning of the season that the North Side High School, with nine veterans of the 1907 championship team, and a team heavy enough to compare favorably with any university, would be the big game. Accordingly, the schedule was arranged with North Side as an cbjective point, and the rest of the high schools were but obstacles to be used as stepping stones to the North High game. The slogan at Nicollet Park was, “We will beat North Side.” C .c of the most helpful supports given the team was the assistance of Robert Saxton, a former Central player, later of Dartmouth’s championship team, and that of Merwin Porter, also a former Central man, who were on hand at nearly every practice to assist in coaching and rounding the men into condition. Their services were “gratis” and given simply because of their love for Central and their great desire for a championship team. The first game of the season with the Alumni showed up the great weakness of the team, both on defense and offense, and it was evident that unless something extraordinary was done, the team would have a very serious game on its hands two weeks later with Mechanic Arts of St. Paul. At about this time the material had been thoroughly sifted and the men practically picked for the different positions, and every energy was made to develop both offensive and defensive play. When, on October 16, Central met Mechanic Arts, it was a certainty that Central would be easily victorious, and instructions were given that after two touchdowns had been made to kick at once on first down. A third touchdown was made, however, which had been counted on. that of a blocked punt, and a magnificent run for a touchdown, making the score I 7 to 0. One week later the plucky South Side team went down to defeat by the decisive score of 21 to 0. 1 here was never a period of the game when South Side had a chance to score, or in fact, could make any consistent ground, whereas Central’s team, which was at least ten pounds lighter to a man and handicapped by a wet, muddy field, made ground at will, either through South Side’s line or around the ends. As the result of this game Central began to attract notice, and the faint-hearted began to think that Central might not after all be beaten so badly by their old rivals yet to be played. On October 31 Central met the new Minneapolis High School, West Side, which, although a new school, had a team of veteran players who had played at other high schools. 1 hey were fresh from their victory 97 over North Side, and were determined to humble Central. They were a very brilliant team on defense, but lacked dash and speed on offense, which would make them dangerous. The game was, however, very stubbornly fought. Central winning by 17 to 0. In this game Captain Webster, right end, received a very severe kick on the leg, which hampered his playing greatly the balance of the season. At this time the “dope” on high school football had entirely missed its mark. North Side, the great, had been humbled; East Side and Central High Schools were the only undefeated teams in the field. On November 6 Central defeated East Side by 1 7 to 6, East Side’s only score being made on a fumble by Central on her own three-yard line. East Side played a desperate game, but it was impossible to stop the fighting midget team of Central. This victory gave Central a clear title to the championship, with only one more game to go, and that one with the giant North Side team. Central was North Side’s old enemy. By defeating Central they could gain back much of their lost prestige. Dr. Fred Burgan, a former North Side player, who has made a most successful coach, returned to assist in bringing the team up to form. In this game. North Side played during the first half 100 per cent better than at any time during the year, but later in the second period became discouraged and “let down.” It had been the policy at Central not to play any more of its plays than necessary, and as a consequence had gone through the entire season without use of trick plays or practically any use of the forward pass. The night before the game it began to snow, and it was greatly feared that the game would have to be played in the snow. The field was cleared, however, and was very fast. There was the largest and most enthusiastic crowd of the year present, and every one appreciated that a unique battle was to take place. Speed, versitality, open playing versus weight, brute strength and line smashing plays. North Side’s heavy team at once began a line smashing play over right guard. They were soon held for downs, and punted, recovering the ball on a fumble, carried it over for their first and last touchdown. Central was fighting and contesting every foot, and it was quite evident that North Side would be unable to stand the pace they were setting. At this time Captain Webster played one of the most brilliant defensive games at end ever seen on a local gridiron, being into every play over right guard and stopping some of them behind the line. In the first few minutes, Lyle, Central’s brilliant left tackle, was severely hurt, and was out of his head the entire game, being so completely dazed at times that his team mates would have to show him his position. Thus, early in the game. Central was deprived of this player’s ground-gaining ability (as he could not remember a signal), which was second to none. Central kicked off again to North Side, who returned the ball on line plays about twenty yards. The ball then passed to Central. From this time on North Side never had a chance. Using open plays. Central’s speedy back field would run their ends and it was soon evident that it was only a question what the size of the score would be. The final count was 26 to 5, which victory gave Central the undisputed championship. 98 Central’s offensive was the most remarkable ever developed by a local high school. As the team was very light, the men were picked for speed. The back field was one of the fastest ever gotten together on any football team in the country. A back field is no faster than its slowest man. and Central did not have a slow man back of the line. I he line also developed into fast charging, so that in many games it swept its heavier opponents off their feet. Defensively, the team did not show as much ability as many of its opponents, but it was all that was necessary to hold any attack made on it. Central was not what could be called a team for stars, but was a star team. It could not be called a brilliant team, individually, but was a brilliant unit. It was team work and team play that made Central a championship team. The dash, speed and precision of the team on offensive will not soon be equaled by any preparatory school. The characters of the players is another salient factor in the success of the team. They were good students, trained faithfully, and worked not for personal glory, but for the success of Central. The ends. Captain Paul Webster and Lester Williams, with substitute Allan Broderick, were without question the three best ends in the Twin Cities. DeWitt Lyle at left tackle was a wonder, both on defense and offense. McCloud, his running mate, was also a hard worker and could always be counted on. Gerrish and Foster, the two guards, were a steady pair of guards, weighing only 145 pounds each, yet in every game they held their heavier opponents on even terms. James Rush, at center, played a beautiful game, and although very light and playing in a position which has no spectacular features, managed during the season to make four touchdowns and one safety for Central. Ross, at quarter, played a fine game, being very fast, a fine field general, and a reliable, steady player. Earl Stewart, Eugene Kent, and Elba White, at halves, were very brilliant, particularly on offense, and reliable, hard workers on defense. George Vanstrum, at fullback, was a spectacular player. He is the fastest man in the Northwest, and used this speed with telling effect on the offense and bringing back punts. The 1908 team is one of which every Central man can be justly proud. Although handicapped by weight and experience, yet they won the undisputed championship of Minneapolis by their dashing and brilliant play. GEORGE W. WEBSTER 99 Tracl( Team, 1908. Track Team 1908-1909 The season of 1908 was an unusual one for Central on the cinder path. Starting the season under the captaincy of Richard Gage, with five “C” men and some of the best material of recent years, the team failed to win a meet. Yet the season was a big success for the men individually, for six N. W. I. A. A. records were broken by members of the team. The first try-cut for the candidates came on May 2, in the interclass meet. 1 he Seniors won by a wide margin, while the Juniors took second place. I he winners of first places in this meet were sent to Shattuck May 9, to meet Shattuck, Faribault High School, and Menom-onie High School of Wisconsin. Shattuck won and Central and Menom-onie tied for second. On May 23, the mest important meet of the year was held under the auspices of the university. C entral won third place, being led by Hamline and Shattuck only. I he Northwestern Interscholastic Meet was held June 3. But for some hard luck. Central would have won, as she clearly outclassed St. Paul Central, the winner, in the “U” meet two weeks before. The close score of 43 for St. Paul Central, and 42 for Minneapolis Central, made this meet the most interesting one of the year. Last fall George Webster gave two silver cups for Central’s second annual cross country run. White won and Lyle finished second. The prospects for the coming season are the best Central has had for years. Although only two “C” men are in school, yet there is some good material, which with the proper coaching and training can be developed into a winning team. It was primarily the lack of coaching and training which caused Central to lose her meets last year. This will be overcome this season, as the team will be coached by Mr. Willis of the faculty, a former Chicago University athlete. Through coaching, the men will learn the value of training, and it is hoped the interest they take in their work will not allow them to neglect this essential part of athletics. At a mass meeting held the first of March, over 130 boys turned out and nearly 1 00 handed in their names as candidates for various positions on the team. With this number to choose from and with the spirit manifested by them, the team which represents Central this year should win a second championship. ELBA WHITE. Captain, ’09. 101 Baseball Team, 1908. Baseball Baseball at Central has never been a thorough success; the teams wearing red and blue have not been representative of the school. The baseball team should maintain the standard set by the other athletic teams of Central. There is no satisfactory reason why our baseball teams should not win championships as well as our football, basketball, and track organizations. The chief reason for the mediocre showing made on the diamond is the lack of support from the student body. No athletic team can do their best work when the support given them is ragged, and their efforts are not appreciated by the school they are playing for. Baseball is certainly too good a game to be shown the listless attention it has had at Central. The season of 1908 saw a new idea introduced into interscholastic baseball in Minneapolis. A league was formed, each high school being represented, and a schedule of six games played. North won the championship, having an unbroken record. Central stood in last place, with two games won and four lost. The team should and will make a much better showing this year, but it will not be done unless every student gives his loyal support and enthusiasm to the team. It is very likely that the high schools will organize another league, similar to that of last year, but with a longer schedule, because of the entrance of West High. Having such a league, with a full schedule, avoids possible disputes as to which team wins the championship. Indications show that Central will have a well balanced team this year. There are several of last year’s men in school who will play again, which is a great advantage. When the season opens, every student should be ready to help all he can and make this year a success in baseball! Following are the candidates for positions on the team: Catchers: Rush, Ravicz, Blomquist. Pitchers: Holmes and Kent. Infield: Douglas, Broderick, Ross, Zesbaugh. Outfield: Lyle, Field. HOWARD ROSS. Captain ’08. 103 '60-8061 'WD3I OH Hockey Hockey, the brilliant, fast, furious, is now the most popular winter sport. Hockey is, among the many games, perhaps the most fascinating, most exciting, and the most scientific of all. It is a game requiring skill and courage, speed and strength, and the person with these qualifications, guided by a cool head, is the person who will make the great player. It is a game for the well-matured, yet it is especially good for the youth, since it gives plenty of good healthy exercise. At the present time, in America, it is no doubt the greatest winter game that is played. Central High has, as usual, during the winter of 1008-09, maintained her high standard in athletics by bringing out one of the most successful teams in the Twin Cities. l oo much credit cannot be given the players individually for their conscientious work and enthusiasm put into the game. The faculty as well as the students are all a unit in encouraging the team and in aiding in every conceivable way to promote this greatest of all winter sports. With the same team for the coming year, I predict even greater honor and success for Central. We were fortunate in securing M. A. H. A. hockey rink on Lake street and Girard avenue for our practice and scheduled games. The rink management offered Central the use of their rink three times a week. the only expense being a small percentage of our gate receipts. This created much interest and enthusiasm among the players, and therefore they all reported at each practice and worked hard. The following were presented with the C. H. monogram: Goal, Rush - - - ’10 Rover, Kenny - - ’12 Point, Burdict - - - - ’i i Right wing, McBride - ’ll C over, Jas. Comb - - ’12 Left wing. Nelson - ’12 Center, John Comb - - - ’12 Substitute.

BARNARD. Manager. 105 Basketball The basketball season of ’09 started off with a rush. A meeting was called and between twenty and twenty-five candidates were present and elected a manager. The Lyndale gymnasium was selected as the place for practice. After a few practices had been held Central’s hope for another championship was dampened. It seems that the board of control at one of its meetings decided to bar basketball from all the high schools. The reason for this decision was that our schools did not possess the proper equipment and gymnasium for the game, all of the high schools having to hire halls and do the most of their practicing at night. Some of the parents sent in the complaint that the practice interfered with lessons; this complaint, however, was not from Central. This rule did not seem to include girls’ basketball. Accordingly, class teams were organized and several spirited inter-class games have been played by the girls. To show that Central has the material for a championship team, and would be able to uphold the high standard of former years, may be seen by the Central boys playing in the different basketball leagues of the city and are proving themselves stars. Basketball is one of the best branches of athletics in the school and should be continued. So here’s hoping the boys have a gymnasium in the school before many more seasons roll along. EUGENE KENT, President of Athletic Association, June, ’09. 106 Tennis The tennis tournament last fall was a decided success. Although the number of candidates for the team was not as large as heretofore, the spirit of the players was excellent. About thirty contestants entered the tournament, all classes in the school being represented. Most of the matches were close and hard fought. A few, as is always the case when the drawing system is used, were one sided and short. Both singles and doubles were played, but on account of the cold weather the latter were not finished. It was decided that a team of three players should represent the school. This team was composed of Marien-hoff, Dyste and Gallaher. In the conflict with East the team lost, and the snow prohibited further use of the courts in playing the other school teams. The spring tournament should be a more decided success than that of last fall. Many good players are attending school and a large number will enter. The winners will compose a team which will play in the annual high school tournament at Deephaven. Tennis as a sport is gaining favor in the school and is more popular and better liked, perhaps, than ever before. ROBERT GALLAHER. 107 Senior Team, Inter-Class Football Champions, 1908. Owlettes Or Pony Rides to T'lowhere Perhaps you have noticed the Senior Class football team’s picture among the jokes. The team’s all right, but they won the inter-class championship; that’s a joke. Not wishing to be impertinent and far from desiring to embarrass any feminines in our class, we would like to know what became of the money left over from buying that Billiken. Brother Bill stated a surprising quality of our Senior sweaters—“T hey can be worn.” The chorus of the erstwhile West Siders will now render that touching and pathetic ballad, entitled: “And they walked right in And they turned around And they walked right out again.” Some one defined our president as a “personified debate.” A nickname contest was held for five minutes recently, during which time the following names were handed in for Mr. Emerson: “Hydrogen,” “Pug,” H20. Reynolds and Baker were asked to contribute but said they did not use that kind of language. In an advertisement in the Owl some one offered a reward of $10 for anyone who had seen Miss Elliot sit still for five minutes. That person might have offered the same reward for two minutes and still be waiting for answers. Some aspiring poet, whose hair is evidently not of an auburn shade, handed this in: There was a young student named Red, Of whom it has often been said: Though brilliant indeed. We all agreed that His brilliancy is all on his head. 109 Mr. Taylor desires us to advertise the fact that he wishes to exercise young ladies' horses in his spare time. Shetland ponies preferred. Advice to Freshies Don't take a leading part in a rough house. It don’t pay. Ask Rosser or Miller. Don't sue a teacher for a credit. They might rake up your past record, and besides you won’t get it, anyhow. Ask Baker. Join the Debate Club. It trains you to think on your feet. Something very useful when you have forgotten to study the night before. Don't lie to a teacher. You’ll get caught anyhow, and then there’s trouble. Cultivate a habit of bringing your books home every night. You might study them sometimes when you have nothing else to do. Save up your pennies so as to buy a Senior Annual and give the Seniors a fine “Junior Day. ’ Biff! Bang! Sizz! Pop! Crack! No, that is not a crusader fighting the Saracens; that is Mr. Greer using a little moral suasion to stop a class rough house. “If I have succeeded in my incantations, I humbly claim your kindly conflagrations.’’ A LA MRS.
