THE FACULTY Co tljc faculty of Central Iffiglj; to the splendid men and monten mho for four years bane been our guides, guardians and friends; me respectfully and affectionately dedicate this Annual. Class of ,ljune, 1911 JOHN N. GREER To the June and January Classes of lyn: YOUR principal wishes to suggest to vou a “civic creed.” I f you will make this creed a part of your lives and thought, you will be most worthy citizens of our great republic. “God hath made of one blood all nations of men, and we are His children, brothers and sisters all. We are citizens of these United States, and we believe that our Hag stands for self-sacrifice for the good of all the people. We want, therefore, to he true citizens of our beautiful city, and we will show our love for her by our works. Minneapolis does not ask us to die for her welfare; she asks us to live for her,—so to live and so to act that her government may be pure, her officers honest, and that every school building within her boundaries shall be a fit place to grow the best men and women to rule over her. With kindest and best wishes to each one, I remain with loving regards, Your principal, J. X. Greer. To the Class of ipu: I have enjoyed having a full room again this term. There is not so much opportunity for you to rattle around. 1 have enjoyed you hugely and sincerely. 1 think some of you feel that as a class you have not done big things. I am not so sure of this. In a quiet, undemonstrative manner you have been surely and steadily appropriating and assimilating such discipline and culture as we have had to offer. It is my hearty wish, and that of all your teachers, that real brain power, real moral strength, real personal adaptability in the years when you need these qualities most, maybe yours, developed in some degree, at least, by our efforts and our endeavors. Sincerely and heartily yours, Uncle Mac. Ten Central ITjiiili 'cluml Jfantlty 1910-1911 J. N. A Room L. N. McWhorter Grace Williams Carl J. Eide Adolph Andrews Byron T.

W bile we have been working, we have tried to keep this idea constantly before us, whether we have accomplished our purpose, or not, will have to he determined by those who read the b x)k. In order that there may be no doubt in your minds as regards the intentions, we are determined to put down a few of them on this page. OUR FIRST GOOD INTENTION was in dedicating this volume to the faculty of Central. In this way we hope to show our appreciation of the time and trouble which they have spent during the last four years with the class of June, 1911. OUR SECOND GOOD INTENTION was in getting out a book which would be perfect in every way. Here we almost met our W aterloo. We forgot that all human beings make mistakes and got out a book that was so perfect that it was almost unnatural. In order to remedy this defect we have put in a few seeming mistakes so when you come to them remember that they are not mistakes in the true sense of the word, but were simply put in to round out this volume. OUR LAST GOOD INTENTION was to include in this work all the various phases of Central High School life. In this we hope that we have been successful and that our work as set forth in this book is satisfactory to the class, and that the book will be a pleasure to them, both now, and in the future when they look back over their days at Central High. THE ANNUAL COMMITTEE, Donald McCarthy, Editor-in-Chief. Eric Erickson, Treasurer Sybil Bates, Secretary Evelyn IIealy,Vice-President Di nkak Miller,President Fourteen To the Class of June, jpu: Beloved classmates, let us speak a few words together before we part from one another. A strong feeling of friendship and brotherly love has grown up among us during the years we have spent in this school. Let us now fondly hope that this kindred feeling will still live within our breasts even though time and circumstance separate us. In fact, should we not become linked in a stronger bond of kinship than ever before? Four years we have struggled over these waters, sometimes turbulent, more often calm. We have obeyed our commands without hesitation, now let us follow out our further orders with renewed vigor. We have reached the Italian shores of our High School course. We have a feeling of triumph, of success. But let us look forward a little. Here we see a warlike tribe (our college course), which we must conquer before we can build the city of our dreams. We must endure much in this struggle, hut we are well prepared. From the trials of our voyage we have learned many things. We need not the aid or guidance of the fates for we have acquired the great essential, self confidence. We have learned how to apply our minds and to associate ideas. These are our sharpest javelins with which to pierce the opposing forces. We have learned how to work. This is the strongest weapon of defense, the foundation of our future victory. Comrades, we will he most successful in this great undertaking of the future. We will overcome the strong forces of the savage Rutuli. We will found our Rome on the lofty hills of confidence, application and work. And thus we strive and succeed, oh classmates, let us hear with each other the memory of dear old Central, our earnest helpful teachers, our kind and honorable principal and our happy class of 1011. Drnbar Millar, President. Fifteen Secretary’s Report In September, the June class of 1911 elected its officers, with all due ceremony. Since then, numerous class meetings have been held, called to order by the president with one exception. Then, according to ancient custom, the president remained in the hall and the vice-president presided. The class has accomplished many things both great and small. Two dances have been given and preparation for two more are on foot. One thing the class did, which is worthy of mention, was the adopting of the Sweetscr resolution. This called forth a very heated discussion, but was finally passed after a small delay of three days. The class memorial has not been decided upon as yet. Several trifling suggestions have been received concerning the matter. Mr. McWhorter ably suggested a grand piano, (t 'pon inquiry it was found that grand pianos ONLY cost eight or nine hundred dollars.) Our class meetings have often been diverting, not to sav funny. We have had some remarkable debates. The most interesting was in connection with the resolution previously mentioned. The question debated upon was: Could three or wore lessons be properly prepared during fifteen-minute period? Mr. Miller decided in favor of three. ()ur class has one valuable asset which really ought to he mentioned, that is, our wonderful class spirit. The boys seem to be almost as interested as the girls. The date for our graduation has been set for June 5. when one more class will graduate and its members become alumni. Sybil Hates, Secretary, June Class, ’ll. treasurer’s Hep art Thus far the work of the Treasurer of the June class of 1911 has not been of the most arduous nature, due chiefly to the fact that there were no dues to collect. Nevertheless the class has in its treasury about $20 which was derived from the Senior dances. This money in all probability will be added to the memorial fund, which the Treasurer hopes to be collecting in the near future. At present the most absorbing task of the Financial Official is collecting funds for the Annual Committee, who, according to the editor-in-chief. need the money. Respectfully submitted, Eric Ericksox, Treasurer. Seventeen Social Activities Our social life, as a class, has been expressed in two dances. The first of these was given November 25, at the Ark Lodge Hall. This was a success, both financially and socially, netting the class a small profit. The class showed little enthusiasm in regard to the second dance and it was not a financial success. The deficit was entirely covered by the profit of the first dance. This second informal was held at the Ark Lodge Hall on February 25, 1911. Flans are now being made for a dance to he given by both the A. and ]� . Seniors, April 21, at Mrs. Noble's hall. The annual alumni dance is to be given May 12 at the Masonic Temple, and this is expected to he the climax of the social activities of the school year. Lyle Johnson, Chairman Social Committee.

The part of our lives spent toiling at our dear school, we will probably recall as containing many of our happiest moments. Now that we have time to review the events of our school history, we find that the lessons were not so hard as they seemed, and that the other tasks were not so burdensome. All is a pleasant recollection which we are glad to recall. For the June as well as the January classes we set a new standard. What our class sought for was to take the initiative in all matters. We take more pride in the fact that we graduated from Old Central than that we were the first class to graduate from the New Central. In the future many classes will go forth from the New Central and few will be left from our dear old building. Now that we have separated, let each one fill the place intended for him with honesty, sincerity, and trustworthiness. At Old Central our instructors guided us to nobler ideals. Let us not feel that we are alone, but that each one of them is looking forward to our individual success. Let us attain not sham success, but real success. Frank H.

Although our class was not organized until the latter part of the Junior year, we have been unusually successful for a mid-year class. This success was due largely to the energetic efforts of our Junior officers: Myron Conhaim, president; Leonie Gebhardt, vice-president; Mildred Radeck, secretary; and Harold Sill, treasurer. The Junior election showed strongly the spirit and friendliness for which our class is known. The Junior Informal, which was given by the two junior classes, was one of the most successful dances of the year. W e are no more looking forward to being seniors as when freshmen, but to the future when we leave old Central. Some of us are looking forward to college and university, but all of us are looking forward to success for which we have been trained so well as freshmen and as seniors. As graduation will soon compel us to leave Central High, we all hope to fullfill in the future, as well as now, our class motto: “Suscipere et Conficere. We always finish what we undertake.

Fifty six juniors Three years ago we entered Central High School as Freshmen. Since then we have labored faithfully, hoping to finally receive the much desired diploma, which is significant only as a testimonial of the successful completion of our course. W hen we entered the time seemed far distant when we should be Seniors. It is now almost at hand. Prompted bv the spirit characteristic of our class, an organization was formed in the first term of the Junior year. After a short but exciting campaign, officers were elected and the customary committees appointed. 'file campaign was marked by a spirit of friendliness which indicated the unselfish nature of the class and gave assurance of perfect harmony. While we have shown some strength in social and athletic ways, we look forward to still greater activity along these lines, and are happy in the thought that our scholarship has been of a high order. ()ur Junior year nears its end. As we enter upon the last year of our high school life, let us seek to make that year the most pleasant and profitable of all; and may we be so broad in mind and united in spirit that in June, nineteen hundred twelve, we may say in all sincerity: “All our strife and vexations, ()ur whims and complaints. All our petty self-seekings And rivalry done, ‘Round our dear Alma Mater We gather as one.” Willfred Higgins, President. I'ifty-scvcn “jXon turn's, sell turtufes” “Little deeds of kindness, little words of love, Make our earth an Eden like the heaven above.” Not words, but deeds, count in this world. W ords are soon forgotten, deeds never. Words are but bubbles of air and if not followed by good deeds, amount to nothing. “Words of affection, howsoe’er express'd, the latest spoken still are deem'd the best. Little deeds of kindness, which we could perform daily, would cheer and brighten many a lonely person. If others see us do deeds of kindness they are prompted to do likewise when the opportunity comes. One cannot begin too soon to do deeds of kindness. Who knows but this will be one's last chance to help in this world, for, “Those who give not till they die, show that they would not then, if they could keep it any longer. Do not keep your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness, speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. A person sometimes says, “If I only had time I would do this or that, or as Shakespeare puts it: “Tis well said again and tis a kind of good deed to say well, and yet words are no deeds.” A noble deed is a step toward heaven. Time spent in doing good deeds is never lost. One is repaid in full for, “Blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds and though a late a sure reward succeeds. The best reward of all is the pleasure one receives bv helping others. One never performs a kind act without feeling he is of some use in the world. One must acquire the habit of helping others. A pleasant smile is a good deed, it cheers the one who receives it and helps him to forget his troubles for the time being at least. If the next person smiles his troubles arc forgotten and lie is smiling himself, for while you smile another smiles. A smile goes far in making life worth while. It's worth a million and doesn't cost a cent. A happy face is always welcome whether in school or out. In fact, in every situation in life a good deed is appreciated, but a bad deed is far worse than no deed at all. The teachers of Central have done much to brighten the hard lessons by a smile or a kind helping word.

He says school is foolishcr than anything else and that he only goes 'cause he likes Miss Wood, and I believe him, too. Because one day there was a sentence in our language lesson that said, ‘A man and a woman works together,’ and Miss Wood asked what was the matter with it. And Dorothy Jenkins, who sits next to me, put up her hand and snapped her fingers something terrible. Then Miss Wood said, ‘Well, Dorothy?’ all smilev, the way she is when you know things. And Dorothy tried not to look smart anti sang out, ‘It’s wrong 'cause it ain't true. A man and a woman don't never work together. The woman works and the man comes home to supper.’ Miss Wood laughed and said, ‘1 guess, Dorothy, you’re going to be a suffragette when you grow up.’ Then Dorothy, that little erv-baby, just put her hands right up to her face and began to cry out loud. And Teacher said, ‘Why dearie, what’s the matter?’ And Dorothy sniffed out, 1 don’t want to do it, teacher.

My poor doors, they hang so loosely, Chilling “Wingless Victory” in the dark, Breezes whistling down the hallway, ‘Oh, you were left from Noah's Ark.” Yes. I’m getting old and rickety, Slow but sure Fm wearing out, Maybe some day you’ll have a new one, And be proud and strut about. As they did in my young days, When I was new and strong and firm, When they said, “Isn’t she a beauty, See how neat her angles turn.” But Father Time lias told a story, Of a beauty and its fame, From a great, strong, massive building.

Seventy three Ifjotti Wonlb 1}ou IE ike to be tresibcut? It’s great fun—this being a presidential candidate. And whether you are defeated or elected doesn’t make much difference—the excitement is all in the competition. And it's great sport to he defeated—ask McCarthy. I might say it’s more fun being defeated than being elected, but then I’d be making a biased statement—you see. I never was elected. Then when it’s all over there is nothing more to worry about. You don’t have to bother to appoint committees, or canvass votes, or make speeches, or hear yourself lauded to the skies by your enthusiastic friends in order to show what a good President you’ll make. And after you’re reduced from the enviable elevation of a candidate to that of an ordinary member it’s so diverting to kick up a party rebellion and otherwise endeavor to annihilate the class. Besides, being defeated gives you such an excellent opportunity to don that sad, woebegone expression that you’ve kept in vour pocket so long. You make everybody realize your terrible misfortune by looking as if you had lost your grandmother or are cutting your wisdom teeth. The last may be entirely possible, as the chances are you are getting wise. You grandly waive aside the consolations and regrets of your conscientious friends, who have become impressed by your sad loss, and you put on a sickly grin and crack jokes about vour defeat until you begin to believe yourself that it wasn't so bad after all. You don’t care for the office a bit, but you can’t say so or your friends will think you ungrateful and unappreciative of the enormous honor they sought to bestow. Besides, the way in which the opposite party expends its efforts to defeat vou is reallv amusing. Thev take it as a matter of life and death, and endeavor so earnestly to place obstacles in your path that you actually begin to imagine yourself a person of some importance. And because you hold aloof from them and disdain to come around and influence their members, they get sore and act accordingly. They'll show you that you “aren’t so many.” They’ve beaten you before and will do it again if it breaks up the class. Anyway, you’re entirely unqualified, you haven’t any ability, you’re a nondescript candidate and it would be a sin to elect you. Then. too. the fact that the young ladies are all on your side isn’t the Seventy-four least pleasure in running. They always vote for you, you don't know why, but they do, and that's enough. And then, when the time for election comes around and everybody looks serious, you are positive that you are absolutely essential to the welfare of the class. And as you begin to feel the weight of awful responsibility hear down upon your shoulders a look of grim determination settles itself upon your classical features while you discuss the weighty affairs of your beloved organization with your solemn associates. It is not a time for humor. You must be staid and dignified as becomes a Presidential aspirant. (Iiehold, the care-worn countenance of our revered Mr. Millar.) And at the nocturnal sessions of campaigners you must never become drowsy and doze, or you will awake to find your shoestrings tied together, or you will he aroused by having your leg pulled (literally) by your relentless comrades. Oh, its lots of fun being a candidate for the Presidency. And it's greater fun being defeated. For what did the great Jules say of his first attendance at a meeting of suffragettes?

Among these hindrances were that, in the first place, the club proper was dropped to a place of secondary importance during the autumn competition for places on the school debating team, and, in the second place, the club lost ground through a material change in membership, due to the graduations of last June and January. Though so many old members have left, our club now contains a good number of very enthusiastic members, who are not only getting one of the best courses of instruction in the school, but are also deriving much pleasure from their work. The sessions of the club are by no means dry, as every meeting seems bound to include at least one lively debate on some question important to the club’s interests. The debates invariably give us valuable drill in parliamentary procedure, and in clear thought and expression of ideas. The principal feature of each regular meeting is a debate on some question of school, city, state, or national interest. We have discussed such questions as “The Fortification of the Panama Canal,” “The Leasing of Government Coal Lands,” “The Abolition of Signboards,” “The Adoption of the Honor System in Central High School.” Each debate is followed by a short, helpful criticism in which both errors and good points of the debate are brought out. The narrower purpose of the club is the formation of a foundation upon which to build the team to represent the school in the inter-scholastic debates. In this connection it would be well to remind the students in the lower classes, that on account of the graduation of the entire school team and of the first two alternates, there is an unusual chance for the willing and industrious under-class students to distinguish themselves. However, the main purpose of the Debate Club is the development of men and women who will think clearly and independently, and also be able to express their ideas so clearly that all can understand them. So with these worthy aims, the Central High School Debating Club has been working for some years, and, as we hope, will continue to work for some years to come for the good of the students of Central High. Theodore Sweetser, President. Seventy-eight Debate is attaining gradually its proper position in the high schools of Minneapolis. We have come to recognize debate as a necessary part of the school curriculum. Xo student can truly attain the highest scholarship unless he has shown himself proficient in the art of debating. One may say that the dehater puts into practice what he learns in the class-room. A vital question, such as we had for discussion this year, “The Commission Form of City Government,” demands knowledge and research along numerous lines; economics, political science and history, and moral and social problems. The debater finds that large quantities of miscellaneous knowledge are important; but that is not enough. This material must be worked upon, sorted and sifted, and finally threshed out upon the floor by the debater in order that his thoughts may be clear, and his words express his thoughts. Thus he will test and develop his power of using the English language. Study brings knowledge; but practice in expressing that knowledge in words brings efficiency of thought. 1 lave you noticed that the winners of the Gale prizes for excellence in essav-writing were debaters? Carl Painter was a member of our debating team for two years. Donald McCarthy was a member of the team this year and alternate last. And Theodore Sweetser was chosen as an alternate this year and is now doing efficient work as president of the debating society. If the above statement does not prove that the practice of debating produces the best English students, it clearly does prove that excellence Seventy-nine in thought and composition belongs to the debater. Hence, every good student of English should enter the debate work, for debating is his rightful field. 1 he Central High Debating Society has closed another successful year. For two years it has produced championship teams. This year the team lost one debate; but so did the teams of North and West, whereas the representatives of East and South lost all. Hence, we are justly proud of our record. Worthy mention should be made of the individual members of the team. Donald Robb, their leader, a veteran of two years, has remarkable ability as a debater. His power of summing up a debate and of making his own position impregnable is worthy of a university debater. If his ability to attack was as great as to defend, his work would be well nigh perfect. Howard Hall and Donald McCarthy made the team for the first time this vear. However, their work was uniformly excellent and showed the result of earnest endeavor within the society during former years. Hall excelled in forceful and pleasing delivery, while McCarthy was especially good in clear cut analysis of points at issue. All three men made a splendid appearance upon the platform while speaking. Mention, also, should be made of Robert Thompson, who, as alternate, by his assistance and enthusiasm increased the efficiency of the team. These four men are Seniors and will not be with us next year, but we firmly believe that our debating society will produce another team which will be a credit to Central High. Let us all work to that end. C. L. Willis. Elf hty THE C. H. S. TECHNICAL CLUB James Coles Clifford Ray Rockwood Nelson Du C. Glasby C. J. Eide B. T. Emerson Wilbur Tucker W. W. Hill A. P. Andrews H. Orsborn Edwin Storms W. H. Kavel Richard Cook XLecItnical (Club The Central High School Technical Club was organized in May, 1910, under the direction of Professor L. L. Simpson, having for its object closer study of all technical subjects and the training of its members with some definite purpose of mechanical development. The club was organized with forty-eight charter members, and now has for its present membership one hundred and two, showing the great interest taken by those desiring advance in technical knowledge. Those eligible for membership are boys of Junior and Senior classes, taking either manual training or science subjects. Lectures on technical subjects have been secured by the program committee and everything possible to enlarge the scope of the work has been undertaken. Excursion trips have been taken to the most important mechanical shops in the Twin Cities. Faculty members of the club and members of the firms in the different plants conducted the boys through the factories, explaining the practical details of the work done in each mechanical department. Our exhibit at the last electrical show, displaying various electrical apparatus, was one of the best pieces of work that has ever been exhibited by students in the Northwest. All of the instruments on exhibition were made by the student members of our “Tech. Club.” Favorable comment was given to the exhibit by all who inspected it. The first semi-annual banquet was held by the Technical Club at Dayton's tea rooms, when we had for our guests of honor the Champion Foot Ball Team of 1910. At our second semi-annual banquet, to be held before the close of the present school term, the Champion Hockey Team are invited to be our guests of honor. We have held two successful entertainments. The object of the first was to create more interest in technical work among the students in Central and other high schools. Since this entertainment three other high schools in the city have become ambitious in organizing technical clubs. Not only did Central organize the first technical club in Minneapolis, but professors from high schools in other cities have heard of our work here, and they have written to us for ideas for the organization of technical clubs in their schools. Our second entertainment was the most successful entertainment ever given by a school organization. The members of the club have manifested a great interest since the organization. For so short a time remarkable results have been accomplished. The enthusiasm and interest that has been shown we hope will become a permanent feature of the school in the future, and we wish the organization the very best of prosperity. Success from now on depends on the faithfulness and co-operation of Central students in technical work. Wilhl’R B. Tl’CKER, President. Ei( htif-thrrc THE C. H. S. BOYS’ CLUB (Lite Central i£jt0lt ploys’ (ft lull Among the thriving organizations of Central, the Central High Boys' Club surely deserves a place. From a start made but two years ago, with but a handful of members, this organization has grown until now it has over seventy-five members and an average attendance of over fifty. For the benefit of those who do not understand the purpose and intent of this club, it may be well to explain that this club is one of a large number which compose what has lately become known as the “High School Movement.” The fundamental purpose of this organization is to create and maintain a high standard of Christian character among high school students. There are at present five clubs in Minneapolis; one at each of the various high schools. We all meet every Tuesday evening at the V. M. C. A. building, where, for the small sum of fifteen cents, we are served with a most sumptuous repast. After supper we listen for thirty minutes while some prominent man makes an address. Each club then goes to a separate room for fifteen or twenty minutes to discuss the evening’s talk. The Central High Club is under the direction of Mr. H. C. Richardson. The present officers are: Donald McCarthy, president; Janies Coles, vice-president: Donald Badger, secretary-treasurer. Any boy in the Junior or Senior classes is eligible to membership. While the increase in members during the past year is very gratifying, there is still room for many more and we fondly hope for the time when every boy in Central will deem it an honor to belong to this organization. Donald McCarthy. President. Eighty-five THE C. H. S. ORCHESTRA Yr? ITlic (Orchestra The Orchestra, one of the best known organizations in Central High School, was organized about five years ago. When it was first organized there were only ten members, but under the faithful guidance of Mr. Pehoushek we now have about thirty members. Our director. Mr. Pehoushek, is a German teacher by profession, but he is also known as SOME MUSICIAN AND ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR.’’ He has brought his group of amateurs from an obscure corner to a very high point of perfection. The Orchestra has favored every room in the building with a selection, and it is a pleasure both for the members of the orchestra and those that hear it for it to do so. At all school functions the orchestra is ready to lend a hand whenever called upon to do so. We are also very fortunate in having Mr. II. E. Orsborn as our Business Manager, and without him we could scarcely succeed. The orchestra members are now receiving credit for the work which they are doing. We are granted a credit of five per cent, which can be applied on English or History to raise our standing. If, on the part of the student, he wishes to save his points for four years, he will be entitled to one full credit for graduation. We are longing for a new Central High School in which we shall have a music room. In the future, let us rally and pull together for an organization which cannot help but succeed. Eigh tyseven THF. FOOTBAI I. TEAM. 1910 Football, 19X0 For the benefit of those who turn to the Annual for Central’s football history, let us look at the forecast for 1910. The following players were expected back: Capt.-elect Lyle, Bertuleit, Kaylor, McLeod, Gunderson, Foster, Bloomquist, Kittleson, Frank, Pickering, Cowin and Erickson. With these men as a nucleus Central would have had a combination hard to beat. However, Lyle, Burtuleit and Kaylor did not return to school, and McLeod did not pass the physical examination. The loss of these men in the early season was disappointing, hut not discouraging. Thirty candidates reported for the first practice, and this number was increased to forty-five by the end of the second week. Central did not have as many experienced players as did some of the other schools, but this made little difference, as the new rules put all the teams on an equal basis. d'he early practice brought out new men with football ability. Rugg developed into an expert at punting and passing, and worked well in the backfield; Xeibling showed strength at tackle and Knutson earned a place at guard. Frank, Erickson and Cowin were out to win their letter and made good from the start. These, with the “C” men. Capt. Bloomquist, Foster, Gunderson, Kittleson and Pickering, started the first game against the Alumni. This game, although disappointing, proved a good tryout and revealed many weak points in the team. Central won 5 to 0, Hall scoring a touchdown near the end of the game on an end run. During the two weeks that followed the hardest kind of work was indulged in to make ready for the game with St. Paul Mech. Arts. Central surprised her closest followers by holding her heavier opponents to an even game the first quarter. In the second quarter, by a series of shifts and forward passes, Central ran the ball up to the 10-yard line, where Capt. Bloomquist scored on a delayed pass. Rugg punted out and Pickering kicked goal. Soon after Central brought the ball up again within scoring distance, but Mech. Arts braced and held. Pickering dropped back and placed a pretty drop kick between the goal posts from the 25-yard line. This ended the scoring. Central 9. Mech. Arts 0. Touchdown, Bloomquist, 1. Field goal. Pickering, 1. Subs., Brooberg for Knutson, Hall for Pickering, Berry for Frank. It was after this game that Central suffered her most severe set back of the season. Quarterback Pickering developed a bad case of blood poisoning on his knee and was forced to remain on the side lines until the last game of the year. The game with East was perhaps the cleanest and best played game of the season. Both teams used the open style of play. Rees. East’s little quarter, played an exceptionally fine game on defense, handling Rugg’s long spirals without a miss. A forward pass, Rugg to Kittleson, resulted in the first touchdown in the second quarter. Later in this quarter Bloom- Ninety quist plunged through tackle for a second touchdown. Rugg kicked one of the goals. Hall played at quarterback in this game and ran the team successfully. Central 11, Hast O. Touchdowns: Kittleson, 1; Bloomquist, 1. Goal, Rugg, 1. Subs., Brooberg for Foster, Foster for Cowin. South High was next in order and went down in defeat 17 to 0. The first half was a real battle, neither side having any advantage. In the third quarter South weakened and Central crossed their goal line three times. It was near the end of this quarter that Erickson put himself on record with the longest and most sensational run of the season. Catching a kick-off on his own 5-yard line he ran 105 yards through the entire South team for a touchdown. Touchdowns, Erickson, 2; Bloomquist, 1. Goals, Rugg, 2. Rugg played quarter in this game, Cowin going to fullback, Foster to tackle and Brooberg to guard. Subs., Miller for Knutson, Knutson for Neibling, Hall for Erickson, Berry for Brooberg. North proved to he the one stumbling block on Central’s schedule. Central went into the game a little too confident of victory. The loss of Neibling in the first few minutes of play, coupled with fumbling and inability to work together at critical times on offense, tells the story. Four times Central had the ball inside the 10-vard line, and each time a touchdown seemed inevitable. Once with the hall on the 1-yard line a costly fumble gave North the ball. North, however, played a stubborn game, took advantage of opportunities and came out on the long end of the closest score of the year. Central 2, North, 6. Touchdowns: North, 1. Central, Safety, Central. 1. Subs., Brooberg for Knutson, Kuntson for Neibling. W hile the Central team and rooters left the field defeated, they also left determined to “come back” and win from West. The rooters and Alumni showed the true Central spirit and stood right behind the team. Out came the buttons, ‘‘We Must Beat West,” and preparation began for the West game. No team ever worked harder than did Central to fit themselves for battle. But we must not forget the game at Fargo a week before the W'est game. This game was not as close as the score would seem to indicate. Fargo made first down, hut three times and scored by recovering an onside kick and running seventy yards for a touchdown. Central had the ball most of the time and would have run up a large score had it not been for the many penalties. Erickson played quarter and McLeod starred as right tackle. Ellenstein distiguished himself in his first game by recovering an onside kick and scoring a touchdown. Central 14. Fargo 6. Touchdowns: Cowin, 1 : Ellenstein, 1 ; Fargo, 1. Goals: McLeod, 2; Fargo, 1. Safety, Fargo, 1. 'The West game was a hard struggle between two well balanced teams, keyed for their final effort. 'This game was to decide the championship, and brought out a large crowd of football enthusiasts. Pickering was at his old post. Brown, who came out for practice immediately after X indy-one the North game, took care of right tackle and backed up the line on defense. Central rooters hoped for victory, and were not disappointed. In the second quarter, after Pickering had recovered Rugg’s low onside kick. Cowin plowed through the left side of W est's line for 12 yards and for the only touchdown of the game. Pickering kicked goal. In the last quarter West rallied and carried the hall to Central’s 3-vard line for first down. Three yards to go and three trials. It began to look like a tie game. The West stands were wild with excitement. Central followers yelled, “Hold ’em,” and the team responded. West made three desperate plunges and three times met a stone wall. Rugg punted out of danger from behind his own goal line, and the game soon ended, with the ball near the center of the field. To the players this victory alone was sufficient reward for their season’s work. Central 6, West 0. Touchdown, Cowin. Goal, Pickering. Subs., Knutson for Neibling, Miller for Brown, Erickson for Rugg. In summing up the work of the season the second team must not be overlooked. Earl Stewart, an old Central star, took charge of the second squad and did excellent work. He worked hard all the time and developed a strong combination that made the first team work to hold their places. During the fall many of the Alumni turned out to help. Rush, Raviez Lyle, Putman, Field, and Flynn were the most frequent visitors. There were many events during the season that helped to make it a pleasant one. The lunches at school, the Park Avc. Gym. and the trips to the lake and Fargo will long be remembered by the players. The trip to Fargo, being the first one out of town in some years, was naturally quite an event. Surely no high school team ever had a more enthusiastic send-off than did Central the night before the game. For the boys this trip was one of the bright spots in a season of hard work, and it is to be hoped that future teams will so conduct themselves that the privilege of one out of town game a year will he continued. The outlook for 1911. Central will lose the services of many good men this year. Gunderson. Foster, Knutson, Brooberg, Miller, Neibling, Brown. I 'rank. Hall and Erickson all graduate. 'Those remaining are Kittleson and Ellenstein on the line and Capt. Pickering, Bloomquist, Cowin and Rugg in the back field. These, with McLeod, who expects to be able to play next fall, and this year’s second team, will give Central an excellent start toward a good team in 1911. As a new-comer at Central. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the management, the student body, and the players for their kindness and support throughout the 1910 season. Very truly yours, H. W. Kavel, Coach. Kinely-ttco The Base Ball Team of Central High was very successful during the season of 1910. With five old men back, Capt. Rush had little trouble in selecting the team. The team made a good start, heating West in a one-sided game at Xicollet Park before a large crowd. The next game with East High brought out some good playing. Lyle was in splendid form, shutting them out 6-0, allowing hut two hits, fanning nineteen men and letting only four walk. The next day the team went up to X'orth and heat North 9-1, through the remarkable pitching of Ray Duflfee and the heavy batting of the Central Team. At this time Central was the favorite for first honors, having won the first three games by decisive scores. Although in the East and North games the infields was greatly weakened by the injury of Capt. Rush. This made it necessary to bring Field from third base to catch, and putting Ravicz on third. In the next game Central suffered her first defeat at the hands of West. Although Central outhit her opponents, she played a poor game in the field and lost by the score of 10-8. The last game was to he played with South, but the day before the game. South protested Lyle, Duffee, Rugg and Pickering. Capt. Rush refused to play the game with these men out and as nothing could he done to reinstate them. Central forfeited the game. The Central hoys had great confidence in themselves to beat South if they were allowed to play their original line-up, hut unfortunately, the game was never played. Xext year with six old men hack and barring protests. Central should surely finish either at the top or very near it. Slnctu-threc Bkkt Pickkring. The Hockey Team of 1910-11 was the most successful that Central has ever turned out, being undefeated champions of the High School Hockey League. The erection of a rink at Central aroused enthusiasm and brought out candidates and had much to do with making a championship team. The first game was played against East and resulted in a victory for Central. Score, 2 to 1. The next game was against North, played at North Commons, where they were defeated by a score of 3 to 0. South did not organize a hockey team this season, so no game was played with them. The game with W est was postponed on account of soft ice, and was not played until late in the season. The second game with East proved closer than the first. At the end of the second half the score was 3 to 3. Two extra periods, were required to break the tie. Comb shot a difficult goal and won the game. North was again played, this time at the Central rink, where Central easily won by a score of 4-0. After several postponements, Central finally met West. The game was played on soft ice before the largest crowd of the season. The first half ended 0 to 0, but near the close of the second, Cone shot a goal and won the game. The second game with West was also postponed several times. At Xinety-four last the two teams met on Lake of the Isles rink. This was a championship game, and both teams were determined to win. The first half ended with West in the lead and the score 3 to 1. Central rallied in the second half and tied West. Six extra ten-minute periods were played, but neither team was able to score, and the game was finally called on account of darkness. Central was declared champions, but the cup donated by Mr. Ward Burton and Mr. Carl Struck was not awarded, as the board held it had been offered too late in the season for every team to have a fair chance to win it. The second team men did very creditable work, and with Comb, Berry, McFaul and Cone to build around. Central should again have a championship team. Robert McBride, Captain. The statement made in the West High Hesperian, of West High’s claim on the hockey championship was unauthorized and unfounded. Tiios. E. Hayward, Chairman, Athletic Board, West High School. The afore-mentioned championship in hockey is not official. The high school principals voted that as some schools had not paid attention to the eligibility rules they would award neither the cup nor the championship. Robt. McBride, Capt. '(Tennis The tennis season of 1910 has been a very successful one for Central. Last spring a team composed of Moorhead, Jenkins and Truesdale represented Central at the Northwestern Interscholastic Meet held at Deephaven. June 9-10, and won second place, losing the cup by one point to St. Raul Central. No other of the high schools represented secured a point, showing the quality of the winning teams. A large and successful tournament was held this fall and was won by Donovan, with Polk as runner-up. A team of four men were chosen from Donovan, Polk, Mc-Chesney, Stevenson and Moreton to represent the school in the matches with East High and Shattuck. Both of these matches were lost by close margins. This spring we are planning to meet East, West and St. Paul Central High Schools and Shattuck Military School in dual meets, and at the end of the school year participate in the Interscholastic championship, where we hope to win and maintain the high standard set by former Central tennis players. Ninel! five Charles R. Polk, Manager. The Track Team of 1910 was fairly successful in its attempts to win honors for old Central. Although few in number, the boys got out early and worked hard until the opening meet. A dual meet with the University Freshmen took the place of the annual inter-class contest. Winners in this meet were chosen to represent Central in the inter-scholastic given by Shattuck at Faribault. In this second meet the boys did not do quite as well as they expected, but all rejoiced in the fact that their captain, Harold Sill, lowered the record for the inter-scholastic half mile. On May 25 the University Invitation Meet was held. This was the big meet of the year. Teams from different parts of the state and Chicago competed. The Central team made a very satisfactory showing in this contest. The North western Interscholastic brought the high school athletes of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Stillwater together. The boys did good work in this contest. Out of the hundred or more men entered, Fiske, of Central, was the star. He broke the interscholastic record in the pole-vault and set up a new state record in that event. Considering the fact that the boys had no coach and practiced under difficulties, their showing should be deemed worthy of recognition among the teams which have represented Central.
