CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL M I N N E A P O L I S 191 2 GEORGE HENRY WARREN A FRIEND OF CENTRAL to GEORGE HENRY WAR REN, the DONOR OF THE FRANK M. WARREN DEBATE MEDALS. THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE JUNE CLASS OF 1912 George H. Warren EORGE HENRY WARREN was born at Oakfield, New York, on January 16, 1845, the son of James and Sarah Warren. His early life was spent at Oakfield, where he attended the common schools and the Cary Collegiate Seminary. He entered Syracuse University, graduating in 1866 with the degree of B. S., and in 1878 receiving from the same institution the degree of M. S. Soon after graduating, Mr. Warren came to Minnesota and became principal of the high school at Hastings, Minnesota, for the years 1867-8. During the two years following, he was superintendent of public instruction, and principal of the high school at Faribault, Minnesota. Leaving educational work, during the years 1870-8 he was engaged in land surveying, at the same time gaining extensive knowledge of the resources of Minnesota and Wisconsin. This knowledge he put to practical use, when in 1878, he entered the real estate and land business, acquiring large interests in pine and mineral lands. Mr. Warren made his home in Minneapolis in 1872, and since that time has taken an active part in the affairs of the city. He was a member of the city council in 1889, and chairman of the committee on railroads during the important period when the street railroad company was required to change its system from the horse to the electric power. As a member of the Business Men’s Union, Mr. Warren had the opportunity, in 1892, of being of special service to the city and the State University. His acquaintance with men of affairs in the northern part of the state gave him inside information regarding a movement to secure the State School of Mines, thus separating that department from the University. Mr. Warren urged the appointment of a committee to raise money for the building of an ore-testing plant at the University. He, himself, as chairman of the subsequent committee, raised the funds among the people of the city, thus saving the School of Mines to Minneapolis. Mr. Warren is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Psi Upsilon, Minneapolis Club, Commercial Club, Minikahda Club. American Institute of Mining Engineers and the Academy of Natural Sciences. In 1908 Mr. Warren presented the Frank M. Warren Debate Medals, which are awarded annually to the three best debaters of Central High School. To the Class of 1912 gTj' N EXTENDING to you my hearty congratulations at this, your Sli graduation time, and in wishing for each one of you the greatest suc-cess in your future life and work, I want you to remember that “The Commonwealth requires the education of the people as a safeguard to order and liberty.” Therefore, whatever work you may have to do in this great world of ours, so manage it that you may have some time to devote to the education and uplifting of others. Unless the whole people are properly educated and trained for their greatest efficiency we cannot expect our nation to solve its many perplexing problems. In return for what your city has so abundantly given to you, you should make every effort to have the community of which you may become a part, possess the very best school system that is possible, remembering that no city is ever greater than its educational system. Above and beyond the knowing and the doing of that which is best, I want each one of you to be in your heart and mind just what God would have you become. With loving remembrance, believe me ever, Your sincere friend, JOHN N. GREER. To the Class of 1912 Each year, through the pages of the Senior Annual, I have tried to express some thought that would be of value and interest to the Senior Class. To your class let me dedicate a thought of Mrs. Browning’s. She bids us beware: “Those Olympian crowns We run for, till we lose sight of the sun In the dust of the racing chariots!” In the world before you there are ever Olympian crowns to run for, there is ever strife and turmoil and perchance victory. There are ever chariot wheels—and dust. May it be your lot, as you enter these contests of life, to keep ever in view the distant and eternal sun. Most heartily yours, UNCLE MAC. —10— Central High Faculty John N. Greer, Principal. Maud Miller, Clerk. English: Grace A. Williams Ellen McGregor Paul C.

In 1873, the Board of Education requested its building committee to look up a suitable site for a new high school building. In 1874, the committee recommended the purchase of a block in Penniman’s Addition. In January, 1875, the Superintendent of Schools submitted sketches for a high school building. These sketches were placed in the hands of architects with the request that they draw plans in accordance therewith. In 1875, the site in Penniman’s Addition was decided to be unsatisfactory and the east half of Block 20, Snyder Company’s First Addition to Minneapolis was purchased. This is on 4th Ave. South and 11th St., where the present building now stands. If the Board of Education at that time had been willing to pay $1,500 more they could have purchased the whole of Block 20. They have recently paid about $80,000 for this other half. An increase in values from $1,500 to $80,000 in 37 years, illustrates how rapidly our city is advancing in its regular realty values. March 9, 1875, it was decided to accept the elevation plan of a high school building made by Long Haglin, and the ground plan made by Buffington Radcliff. May 2, 1875, at an election called for the purpose, it was voted to issue bonds to the amount of $12,000 for the erection of a high school. In —12— IN ITS PRIME — 13— AS IT IS TODAY May, 1877, contracts were let for stone and brick work for a high school building. In June, 1878, contracts were let for the completion of the building. This building was of stone with slate roof and was built at a cost of $85,000. It had five study rooms, several recitation rooms, a hall, laboratory, library, etc. In 1886, a hall, four large study rooms, recitation rooms, manual training shops, drawing rooms and Superintendent’s office were added at a cost of $72,000. The building was steam heated and the new annex had fan ventilation. Last fall, the Board of Education let the contract for the new high school at 34th St. and 4th Ave. South at a cost of about $500,000. This building when fully equipped will cost about $600,000. The Board of Education has recently requested the architects to produce a study for a new building, to be erected on the present enlarged site at 4th Ave. South and 11th St. This building will be all modern in every particular and will take the place of the old structure and contain facilities for larger industrial work. It will also house the administrative offices of the school system. —N— AS IT WILL BE The Senior Board Editor in Chief............................ Business Manager...........................

C$J $3 C$J Hear Ye All LL bones with the Annual Board will be picked June 1, 1912. Mr. Lundquist, Head Potwalloper, will attend to all complaints at the Hockey Rink. Every year, the gentle reader in an eruption of originality (?) and peevishness (!) says a few of the things that Adam said about the Senior of 8092 B. C. This year we will save the gentle reader much trouble and many conscientious scruples by appending his probable remarks. They are numbered so that they can be easily and nonchalantly referred to with the same effect as if perpetrated by the speaker. 1. Well, we’re not to blame. What could you expect from such a punk Annual Board. 2. I think the slams they put in after the names are just horrid. 3. Oh, Rats! They have had that in every year since I was a Freshman. 4. Why don’t they get a new picture of Uncle Mac? 5. I think it was mean of them not to print my joke (picture, poem, paper) about----------. It was lots better than ----------- s joke (picture, poem, paper). 6. Gee, the cover makes a good blotter anyway! 7. Won’t mother be proud when she sees my picture. 8. Look at the picture of the Board! Do you wonder at the book? Some Classic Translations FROM THE 1891 CENTRAL ANNUAL 1. Arrectibus auribus adsto. I stand with erected ears. 2. Ecce autem complexa pedes in limine conjunx. But behold, his wife was embracing her feet on the threshold. 3. Agnosco veteris vestigia flammae. I recognize the footsteps of my old “flame.” 4. Ter sese attolens cubitoque annixa levavit. Three times she looked up and strove to raise her elbow. 5. Sese Palinurus agebat. Palinurus was chasing himself. 6. Hie patris Aeneae suspensam blanda vicissim. Hereupon, Father Aeneas blandly waved his suspenders. Up-to-Date 1912 1. Num lumina flexit? Did he bat an eye? 2. Fusique per herbam implentur veteris Bacchi. Stretched out they drank the old wine through straws. 3. Pedem cum voca repressit. He recalled his foot with his voice. 4. Improvisum aspris sentibus anguem pressit et caerula colla tumentem. He stepped on a snake with a prickly bramble, his green collar rising. 5. Aeneas sic dicat an de cur, egessi lictum. Aeneas sicked de cat on de cur. I guess he licked ’um. M.tkm;: un :A0 (!|j« —18— —10— Class of June 1912 OFFICERS President . Raymond Horn Secretary . Louise Lupien Vice President . Edna Healy Treasurer . . . Ralph McFaul c£j CJ3 CJJ Remarks by the President Seniors: In accordance with the custom which is as old as the Annual itself, we take this opportunity to greet those friends and associates with whom we have spent the last four years at Central. Fervently we hope that graduation may not sever the ties of friendship which we have formed and, although happy in our commencement, it is not without a deep feeling of regret that wc leave. Now our thoughts are turning naturally to the future and soon we will be considered as alumni instead of students of this school. The future is full of opportunities and it is for us to see and to grasp them. To this end, our —20— high school course has been prepared in order that we may not only see the opportunity but also avail ourselves of it. Various trades and professions are calling every day men and women of high character and self-reliance. It is for us to choose the one for which we are best suited. Then, when we have chosen, let us enter the race with our goal fixed firmly in mind and with a strong determination to “make good.” By “making good,” we do not mean that we should be the greatest in our trade or profession, but that we should make our influence always a thing to be felt and our opinion always to be respected. Let not our success be measured by the amount of money we have amassed, or by the number of men we have under our control, or by the great position of trust we occupy, but rather let it be measured by the amount of good we have accomplished for the betterment of our fellow men. Although in the future we may be separated by many miles, may we always be held together by that common bond of fellowship which has been so characteristic of our class, and by our loyalty to Old Central. And now as we leave school days behind us to enter into newer and greater fields of activity, let us bear in mind the words of Lincoln: “I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true; I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.” RAYMOND HORN. ] Secretary’s Report TjTIHE first business to be transacted after the June Class of 1912 entered . - its senior year was the election of the Class officers. The similarity of their speeches of appreciation proved anew the truth of the old adage that Great minds run in the same channel.” Various Class meetings were held which gave some of our stellar lights a longed for opportunity to display their luster in extemporaneous debate. The bone of contention seemed to be the Class pictures, there being a difference of opinion as to which of our local artists would touch up our comely likenesses in the most flattering manner. After Alice had coaxed for half a period, Willie at last consented to explain the pictures, which he did in minute detail and we finally decided upon Hubner as our choice. One dance was decided upon and given. An entertainment is under way at the present time for the purpose of raising money for our Class memorial which has not been decided upon. In three more months we graduate as the last June Class of Old Central,” and then our Senior Class meetings will be adjourned. LOUISE LUPIEN. Secretary. Treasurer’s Report T HE Senior Class is at present on a sound financial basis, due in a great measure to the efforts and accomplishments in our Junior year. It has always been known that when the Senior Class of June undertook a project, the same has been a success, socially and financially. May this fact be an incentive to following classes. RALPH McFAUL, Treasurer. Extracts From “Central Gazette” The illustrious Seniors of this here school did on December first (1), 1911, give a dance. Altho it ’peared like there wasn’t going to be no let-up in the weather which was very disaprorable them folks turned out with their shining countinances all wreathed in smiles. According to the money took in by the gate receptors there was forty-five (45) couples there which didn’t much more then pay expenses and made our illustrious fellow Senior Frederick Soule feel sort of nervous like until someone said to him that a muss (Continued on f� wre 21) —22— £Z 1VOO Mno lOO A3H1 LIBRARY CEHTRAL HIGH SCHOO was as good as a mile and right away he was happy. Everybody went home happy and an enjoyable time was had by all. Again the Seniors done themselves proud. This time it was at the Senior Program which was gave on Friday the twenty-sixth (26) of April at West High Hall. Amongst the talented contributors which was all local talent, and of which thing the Editor is most proud, was Sadie Bates. She is smart and knows her business. She is at home and easy like on the stage and don’t make you feel as if she was the whole thing or as if she thinks she’s smart which is likely with most folks of her trade. Next come Mary Baernstein and her fiddle. Mary can make that fiddle talk. Her tones is so sweet and meller like and everyone were so sorry to see her quit. Mary has got a future in that fiddle. Next comes Katie Hart. She sings like a little bird. Katie was learned about this abroad. The Editor can remember when she was a little girl residing in Mankato, Minn. And folks predicted then that she would show them and she’s doing it fast. Elsie Gross contributed to the program and one what most likely is called a semi-classic dance. The Editor ain’t learned much about classics but Elsie done it up fine. Alice Allen then did nice on the piano and who played like she enjoyed it which according to most folks is the only way. Then are Orchestra played fine. Taking it all in all the Program was a success and a most pleasant evening was had by all. Friday the tenth (10) of May, the June Seniors give another dance at the Franklin Av. dance Hall, owned by Mrs. Noble. There was quite a lot came. The young men folks did there duty fine for there weren’t any Wall-flowers so far as anybody noticed and everybody seemed busy tipping the light fantastic toes. The dresses were fine wore on that auspicious occasion. They danced to good music till everybody was most danced up and then all went home feeling as if the evening was worth the price and a good time was had by all. The Editor has noticed that among a few couples around this here school there is a tendency to court. It’s all very nice but he don’t believe in taking a grown-up’s job until he’s ready. He ain’t a mysogynist but he don’t believe in picking the apple when its green. Some folks has said that they feel sorry and out of sorts because they ain’t going to graduate from the new building. According to others folks ideas, its the old oyster shell thats got the most chances of being full of pearls, and maybe if we looked we could find a few gems in this one. —24— Senior Committees Social: Willard Von Hagen Mary Mullowney Fred Cutler Howard Ganley Marjorie Mills Marion Baird Helen Dukelow Memorial: Van Woodbury Ruth Lampert Herbert Bullis Regina Schaffer Verner Berry Color: Alice Clark Myriam Moore Helen Hoopes To the Organ Thou most majestic instrument of man, Thou great creator of a world of sound. Thou are more great than mighty pipes of Pan, Murmuring melodies in thee abound. Sometimes within your pipes the trumpet rings.

The rushing brooks, the wind sighs in the trees. And soon a thousand clear bird voices sing To welcome back the golden-banded bees. And in the quiet splendor of the moon All dies away to the mother’s lulling croon. DOROTHY GILKERSON.

On asking a Senior the way to the Freshman room we were kindly directed downstairs where we wandered around among the engines and lathes, trying to find a room that would receive a Freshman. We finally courageously asked the engineer to direct us to our room; arriving there very much fatigued by our long climb. What innocent and peaceful days our Freshman year contained. The teachers made out our program for us and left nothing for us to do but go to classes. A trivial part of the work, to say the least! A heinous crime it was to whisper in those days, and they must stay after school who broke the rule. The Seniors looked down on us, although we were far above them, many weary flights above them in the building. We were even barred from the mass meetings, being told we might get hurt in the crowd. Shut up in our class rooms, way up in the attic, we could hear the joyful shouting floating up the stairs from A-Room. When it came to going to the games, however, we were earnestly requested to buy tickets, for our quarters were as good as anybody else’s. To offset our many slights and hard knocks, we were allowed to have a program once a week during the fifteen-minute period. These programs were such as will long be remembered by all who heard them. They generally consisted of a lengthy piano solo, played on an ancient piano, home-tuned, which was brought over on the original ark, and which sounded like a chicken picking off a board. Sometimes this harpsichord music was accompanied by vocal efforts which tested the strength of the performer’s voice, and the endurance of a charitable audience. We sincerely hope that the future Freshmen will not be forced to endure the severe trials in the new Central High School that we endured in the old. FLORENCE COOK. History of the Sophomore Year n a ae N SEPTEMBER, 1909, having attained the dignity of being at least “wise fools,” we moved from the third floor into E-room, where we spent two terms under the watchful eye of Mr. Siehl. Although busy with the task of collecting numerous double pluses,” we soon found other things to occupy our minds. We were given the chance to show our ability in scholastic matters, and here our class especially excelled. It was during this year that we wrote those learned treatises on The Prevention of Tuberculosis” and The Evils of Alcohol,” in fact, some of the prize-winning essays were written by members of this class. Although no especially great or brilliant showing was made athletically at this time, there was some very good material then in the process of development, as we have since seen. The last part of the year was blighted by the departure of two of our teachers, Mrs. Brennan and Miss Dugan. Mrs. Brennan broke camp and went for a sail upon the Atlantic and eventually upon a trip through Europe, while Miss Dugan embarked on a voyage on the Sea of Matrimony. Although filled with the deepest gloom, in our unselfish joy, we bid them a fond farewell, and even went so far as to send the bride our love in a bunch of flowers (tied with Evelyn’s best white hair ribbons). Yes, indeed, the class of 1912, as Sophomores of 1909, will long be remembered by the Sophomore teachers, for they displayed such great intellectual ability as to leave a permanent impression behind. HAROLD LUNDQUIST. Our Junior Year R. HEARD decided to change the usual monotony of assigning us seats alphabetically, so he started our Junior year by arranging us “hit or miss.” The term progressed along the same old routine, broken now and then by Mr. Heard and the janitor, trying to fix the clock, left by some forgotten class. One day we were graciously allowed to take up a collection for the benefit of the room. After some discussion as to the various uses the money might be put, a committee was appointed to spend it. This gave Mr. Heard an opportunity to spring the joke that he had used on the preceding class, which had also the good fortune to own a Lundquist brother, namely, the appointing of “one on this side of the room, one on that, and one at large.” It is certainly too bad that there are not a few more Lund-quists like Elmer and Harold, following in their brothers’ footsteps. The committee, with good judgment, selected a charming picture for us. At last, after a great deal of persuasion on the part of some of the illustrious members of the class, we were allowed to have our class elections. A very showy campaign ensued, and some wonderful speeches were given, especially one by Mr. Yund, who was then with us. The speeches were limited to two minutes, so our budding politician was forced to sit before he had named his candidates. The officers elected were: Clyde Kittleson, president; Frances Ker-steter, vice president; Alice Clark, secretary: and Earl Bloomquist, treasurer. Our president was conveniently absent on days of class meetings, so tnat we were not very well acquainted with him. The vice president usually presided M m —” 5— with surprising calm for one so young. She deserves a great deal of credit for the way in which she managed the class. Willfred Higgins, a former defeated candidate for treasurer, tried his luck again, and was elected as our new president by an overwhelming majority, contesting with some eight or ten heterogeneous rivals. The last event of the year was the attempted introduction of the “Honor System.” This was proposed by one of the Senior Class, and then submitted to the other classes. The boys, though they claimed to be honorable, defeated the plan (the girls were not allowed to vote). The term soon ended, and one day we received little cards saying that next year we would sit in A- Room. EVELYN K. DAVIS. The Senior Year “ HE strenuous work of Senior Year began on September 11. It took _____, but a few days to become acquainted with “Uncle Mac, whom, hither- to, we had looked upon as sitting astride the top of the latter, which we began to climb as Freshmen. After a week of changing and shifting to suit Uncle Mac’s fastidious taste, we settled down to work, things being rather quiet until football claimed our interest. We spent the rest of the fall season learning to take defeat nobly. Quite frequently we were aroused from a heart-to-heart talk with our nearest neighbor by dreadful explosions from the direction of the Chemistry Lab, but soon we became inured to such interruptions and nothing short of a gentle hint from Uncle Mac could stop our confidential chats. Senior class officers were the next thing, and the time for the primaries was set. Class spirit seemed to have deteriorated since our Junior campaigning, for this election was most tame. As the close of the first term drew near, we were frequently entertained during the fifteen-minute period by the A-Senior class meetings. Most profitable gatherings! In January, however, we were left alone in A-Room. With the new term, debating came to the front. We were well represented in debate, for three out of the four on the team were members of our noble class. The class pictures caused more or less argumentation, but the Hubner Studio was finally chosen on account of the unbreakable camera which Mr. Hubner had in his possession. Our class has many generous-hearted boys. They have even given up most of the honors, leaving the entire Honor Roll of twenty-one members and also the valedictory and salutatory honors to the girls. Graduation is now visible on the dim horizon, and those who have vivid imaginations can see that elusive piece of parchment in front of them with the same inspiration that the mule had who saw the feed bag before his eyes. Soon we shall find that we have the world to face, and that our Senior year is but a pleasant memory. VAN WOODBURY. Sonnet HEN I consider how the time does wend Its fleeting course, regardless of us all. Till four years having glided to an end, I see the power of choice on women fall; The power to choose a mate for worldly life, A fearful follower a husband meek, Whose words shall be, “Yes, darling wife,” When that new empress unto him shall speak; Whose every move will be as closely watched As is a young bird’s, by a fierce old cat. Whose work, accordingly, shall be all botched. Whose head be covered still by last year’s hat; I sadly muse, and then say like a seer— “Come Liberty of man -depart leap year.” HERBERT BULLIS, T2. Sonnet O FIND a fitting subject for this sonnet I’ve labored and I’ve thought, both hard and long. But. spite all the efforts I’ve put on it. Everything I’ve tried has proved all wrong. I’ve called on the Heavenly Muse for help in vain. To this stupendous task her aid implored; But that she’ll hear me not is all too plain. My fervent pleadings she has all ignored. I can’t write of the snow— tis nearly gone. Nor of the spring, for it is not yet here. The stars, the moon, the sunset, and the dawn I’ve tried them all. but uselessly, I fear. Unless some mighty Power comes to my aid. I’ll try no more—“poets are born, not made.” GERTRUDE MITCHELL. w Class Officers and Committees Richard Cook. Pro . Oscar Johnson. Tr� as.

The memories of our submissive Sophomore and Freshmen years are still cherished in our hearts with the proud ones of the Junior and Senior years. The past four years spent under the different teachers and in close friendships with our classmates have been the most delightful as well as the most educational years of our lives. The teachers, under whom we have striven with various degrees of success during this time, have tried to teach us not mere rules and dates but a higher and wider knowledge of life. They have had in mind that these years constitute the turning point in our lives and that the mere accumulation of facts is of little consequence as compared to the turning of our minds in the right direction and the uplifting of our ideals to a higher and nobler plane. We, as a class, have been one of the most successful which has graduated from Old Central. The two dances given during the Senior year were very successful financially and socially. The entertainment given during the last month at Central made possible the leaving of a class memorial and also did much to further the unity and spirit of the class. As we part after graduation to the different cities and colleges for further education or for business, let us remember our class motto and the class spirit which has made us so successful as a whole and I am sure each individual will mount many steps on the ladder of fame. RICHARD R. COOK, President. —59— -00- —01— The January Class of 1913 w ass HEN a class, upon entering High School, is so separated that a strong spirit of unity is impossible, it seldom shows very great class spirit. But in spite of the fact of its division, a wonderful loyalty has been shown by the class of 1913. As soon as this class was organized, late in the Junior year, it displayed its great originality and progressiveness. The organization having been completed, business went with a rush. The pin committee obtained the finest pins that could be had, and the class is justly proud of them. A social committee was also appointed. The program which they planned for a Christmas entertainment will be recorded in school history as the cleverest, and most original informal entertainment ever executed by a High School class. Especially will Mr. Richardson, as Buster Brown, be remembered when all else is forgotten. Taking a full breath, the committee then carried thru a Senior Dance, which will be the envy of all future classes. This has been a class gifted with athletic, literary, and musical, not to speak of oratorical ability. But it must be said that the budding orators of the public-speaking classes were extremely timid about speaking in class-meetings. The only motions which were made, were those for adjournment (except when “Bingo” would ask for the minutes of the previous meeting). In view of past achievements, we are confident that this class will set a new standard, as an incentive to high endeavor for the future classes of this and the new school, before we leave “Old Central in January of 1913. CLIFFORD RUGG. President. —02— j MEMORIES OF THE B ROOM ENTERTAINMENT —(� li— Recess ITTLE did I realize what great dangers were lying in wait for me as, with business in hand at my old place of learning, I at 11:25 P. M., climbed the crumbling stone steps of that shorn-of-its-towers, condemned old shack affectionately and otherwise known as Central High School. 1 1 The bells had evidently just rung, for hardly had I pulled open the door than I was greeted with a jumbled chorus, a mighty roaring sound and the descending of a pack of wolves upon me. “Here’s where you get your tickets for debate”—“a nickle for the Hockey team”—“only one dollar”- “Senior dance” “two hundred an—.” In desperation I flung my purse among them and made a quick get-away while the voracious monsters were scrapping among themselves. But, alas, I was too quick, another monster shot upon me and from the shower of stars that ensued I thought I must be in heaven. But again, alas, I, coming to, found myself lying on a table in the physics Lab. Somebody was eagerly watering the flowers of my best Sunday hat with H20 and I heard a voice saying: “At last, at last! A revolution in the world of science! We have discovered the result when an irresistible force meets an immovable body,” and I was being told that I had collided with the first floor piano which was shooting out of A room propelled by a group of eager athletes at forty miles an hour. I managed to stagger to my feet and Mr. Eide kindly lent me some of his well known hot air” or gas for drying purposes. Mr. Soule, a pompous individual with hair like a plush sofa and evidently owner of the building, offered to act as guide and guard me from all pitfalls lying in wait for strangers and freshmen. I thought I certainly must see my old friend Mr. Emerson, so to his desk we wended our way amidst broken glass and a peculiarly penetrating odor of H.S gas. He was busy. I quickly hurried out into the hall again, my guide pointing out points of interest. Behind a door, a group of timorously, cowering freshmen were repeating nursery rhymes for one another’s edification. Farther on a line of people, kept in order by the janitor with a broomstick, were saying good-bye to hard-earned pennies in exchange for such snares and delusions as Note book covers, 30 cents;” “Manley’s Poems, $2.00,” and I even heard one girl exclaiming over the loss of 75 cents for a paltry little “Paul Pope German Composition, saying, “The idea of having to get one of these useless little things!” Just you wait,” thought I, remembering my barren hard-worked youth, “till you have had four terms of German out of that.” A little farther on in a dark hole under the perilously swaying and creaking flight of stairs, evil looking slabs were being passed out to lean and —4M— hungry mortals, “Two for a nickel.” “What are those? I asked a bystander. “Those are sandwiches,” he answered pityingly and somewhat frightened for fear Mrs. Jones might be near. '0. thank you for telling me, ’ I quickly answered. Just then I heard a voice loud enough to wake the dead shouting, “Fifth hour classes,” and thinking that it was some kind of a fire alarm, I rushed into A room. But it turned out to be only Uncle Mac gently suggesting that recess was over. The bells rang and I watched the students file quietly (?) to classes. One poor black-eyed boy seemed to have trouble getting by the girls, but finally all the doors were closed, and I heard Mr. Austin giving his stock answers to all questions. Go ask Webster, he’ll tell you and he won’t laugh at you. either, and Fraulein Schirmer saying, “Meester Jones, take der first sentence on der last bench. Stehen Sie auf! Schwindt! Mach schnell,” and recess was over. A Clothes Call He kissed her, and low sunk her head on his breast. While loud beat his heart ’neath his still louder vest. In emotion her bosom full swift sunk and rose. While she wept H..O on his new Sunday clothes. His heart once so gladsome, now quickly grew sad. For those were the very best garments he had. $ • « But soon thru his bangs did an idea shoot. Oh joy! without price he was pressing his suit. —(15 Junior Class—June ’13 MS FTER three years of moulding and polishing, the class of 1913 emerged from obscurity into the spotlight of their Junior year, the best looking, best mannered, and most brilliant class in the history of “Old Central.” Perfect unanimity of spirit has marked the class, and the election of officers was conducted with great enthusiasm and without friction. The usual committees have shown exceptional merit in the performance of their various duties. In the athletic line the class has been most fortunate, having captured the captaincy of two important athletic teams. Many lesser lights in the athletic firmament have come from this class and 1913 has certainly done her share to uphold the honor of Central. The future holds no terror for us. Buoyed up by past achievements, we face the last year in school with a brave and determined spirit, sure that the last class to graduate from Old Central will not be the least in upholding the standards of her graduates. WILLIAM McDUFFEE, President. —(Jt “Our Teachers” (With apologies to Mr. Kipling) When the summer breezes are blowing, and all Nature is dressed in green ; When the last class has recited, and the last of the pupils is seen.

Ten contestants fought for a place on the team and that number was finally lowered to six. From these six was to be picked the Central High Debating Team. Of these six men those who won out were Merrill Alexander, Russell Morse, Harold Soule and Thomas Chapman. A new system was tried out this year, when a four-man team worked throughout the season, instead of a three-man team. This came about through the wish of the debaters, themselves, due to the fact that all four were on a par. By so doing each man on the team participated in three debates this year instead of four. Central won fourth place in the Inter-High School Debating League, with four votes out of a possible twelve. The team in all of the debates worked with untiring energy and were in the thick of the fight at all times. Whatever else may be said it must be said that the four men who represented Central High in debate put forth at all times the best that was in them. We of the team who are leaving the school this year, would like to say to all of those interested in debate, that now is the time to prepare for next year. All of this year’s debaters are Seniors and. of course, will not be here to debate next year. There is an opportunity for everyone, but particularly is there an opportunity for those who are now taking public speaking as class work, because they have a preliminary training in debate in the class. But everyone shares and shares alike, for no matter if you do not reach your goal by winning a place on the team, the practice which you receive in debate work cannot be estimated. The outlook for next year is one of the brightest and most optimistic in many seasons. Many are already preparing to enter the fight and others have signified their intention. Finally, we want to tell you that you do not do this work for your own honor and benefit alone. The school gives a credit for any term of English if you make the team, and a Mr. Warren has contributed a sum of money to the school, the interest of which, each year, goes to furnish gold medals for each of the debaters. Central must win first place next year in the City League and from present prospects it is certain that this will be achieved. HAROLD F. SOULE. The Central High School Orchestra HE ORCHESTRA, which for the past six years has been increasing in strength under the direction of Mr. Pehoushek, has attained a high point of excellence this year. Tho we don’t claim to be professional musicians, we do say that, for an organization which is open to all members of the high school and of which the membership is purely voluntary, the orchestra has done very excellent work. We have played three outside engagements this year, and all have been splendid successes. The fact that in addition to the excellent practice given the orchestra members, we are granted credit on a five per cent basis may serve to arouse the interest of pupils playing orchestra instruments. The five per cent credit means that a player in the orchestra is granted either five per cent increase on an English or History average, or may save this credit until graduation when it equals two full credits. In the “New Central” we are to have a music room, which will be a great step forward, and with the support and backing of the school, the orchestra may become one of the leading organizations in the school. And last but not least, we have a business manager who has had much to do with the success of all the enterprises undertaken by us. Mr. Osborn has taken care of our engagements and has always led the orchestra through with flying colors. The orchestra will lose heavily through graduation, but with all the material in the school, and the splendid leadership of Mr. Pehoushek, there is no reason why this organization cannot keep advancing and growing, and becoming better with each succeeding year.

During this time the members of the club have visited the various places of technical and architectural interest within a radius of forty miles. Our trips, combining the elements of education and pleasure, have proved both interesting and instructive. They have served to bring the members of the club in close touch with applied science, giving them the practical knowledge so essential to the successful application of that gained in the classroom. Acquaintances formed with members of the different industrial concerns visited, have been an aid in securing positions for several members, and have tended to make the name of the Technical Club known to the large manufacturing companies of the Twin Cities. Alumni members unanimously declare that these trips form some of their most pleasant memories of high school days. At every affair of civic importance, the club has represented the school at large. Our float in the Civic Celebration parade was the only one representing a Minneapolis school. An exhibit of the club’s work at the Minnesota State Fair attracted much attention, not only from local, but from out-of-town visitors, and was responsible for the establishment of similar organizations in several high schols throughout the Northwest. The club will also be represented at the 1912 Electric Show, and if present hopes do not gang agley,” will capture the first prize of one hundred dollars, and at least one of the smaller prizes offered for the best made instruments. Last year we received first and second places though no cash awards were made. No attempt has been made to increase the club’s finances, though we are planning to give an entertainment later for this purpose. Two banquets were arranged for this year, one in honor of the football team, and one for the hockey team, but, owing to unavoidable delay, the two were combined. The result was one of the most successful banquets ever given by a high school organization. Rather than have us wait until the new high school is finished. Prof. Greer kindly donated a club room, which has been decorated and furnished. This room contains, besides interesting electrical apparatus, most of the scientific and technical magazines of the day. and is open for the use of members before and after school, and at recess. The coming year should be as successful as the past two, as the places that have been visited so far, will again be visited. Boys in the junior and senior years, who are interested in science and mechanics, should not fail to grasp the opportunities which the school and city offer them through the Technical Club. HOWARD GANLEY, President. THE Bean Club was organized three years ago last fall by the Honorable David R. Porter of Oxford. The purpose of the club is to bring before the high school boys of Minneapolis questions of vital interest to them. To give the fellows a clear insight to these questions, the prominent men of the Twin Cities, including important business men, clergy, railway presidents and educators, address the club every Tuesday night. Following the address, the boys hold a general discussion and thrash out a course of action for themselves. Three years ago the club numbered but a dozen fellows; today the roll call holds the names of almost 200 Juniors and Seniors. To a great extent this growth in membership was due to the work of Mr. Richardson, whom the club wishes to thank for the energy he expended in their behalf. “A ROOM SNAPSHOTS —78— —7li— IVlrnon Mill Knvol Eidc Eifrs Sylvwli-r HauL'Ix-re EllrnsU’in McLeod Schmitt Cow in Denni McKaul Horn Scolt ltloomi|ui� l Picki’rinK (CapI.) Huge Berry Zucks Football 1911 WHEN the call for football candidates was given at the beginning of the . 1911 season. Ex-Captain Bloomquist. Captain Pickering, Rugg. Cowin aSSfc and Ellenstein were the only ones to report who had won their letters on the championship team of 1910. Although plenty of material came out it was not very promising and from the start Coach Kavel had hard work developing a fast charging line. The backfield needed little attention as it was composed of experienced men who had gone through a successful season the year before. Trips were taken to St. Thomas and Macalester where the team received good practice. In the alumni game the team failed to make a satisfactory showing. The West game was the first game of the season and the following line-up was selected: Ellenstein and Barrett ends, Elfes and McFaul tackles, Haugberg and Berry guard and Horn center; Pickering quarter, Rugg and Bloomquist halfbacks and Cowin fullback. The game was on a slow muddy field. The teams were very evenly matched and the game ended a 0 to 0 tie. After the West game the line-up was changed and at this time the team took a slump from which they did not recover until too late, and East, playing her strongest game of the season, won 10 to 0. The next game was with North, which was considered the strongest team in the city and by far the heaviest. Changes were again made in the line-up to strengthen the line. Central played a great game and fought until the last but North won 8 to 0. Fargo High was the next game. They came down here for a return game and to avenge their defeat of the year before, but Central had little trouble in winning. In the latter part of the game Pickering was tackled hard and in falling fractured his leg, putting him out of the game for the rest of the season. The last game of the season was with South, who had won all of its games so far. In preparing for this game Central was forced to practice indoors on account of the weather. With Bloomquist out, being forced to quit shortly after the North game, and Pickering on the sidelines. South was ready for a big victory. This game was played after six inches of snow had been shoveled off the field and the ground was frozen hard. With a greatly changed line-up. Zacks and Scott ends, Haugberg and Ellenstein tackles. Churchill and Cowin guards, McFaul center. Clapper and Berry halfbacks. Rugg fullback, and Barrett quarter. Central played South to a standstill, and came near winning when Rugg tried a field goal, the ball striking the cross bar and bounding back on the field. Time was called soon after that, with the score 0 to 0. Prospects for a good 1912 season are bright. Although the team will lose Rugg, Bloomquist, Horn, Berry, McFaul and Pickering by graduation, and Clapper, there is enough good material left out of which to develop a fine team’ BURT C. PICKERING, Captain ’ll Football Team, President Athletic Board of Control. —si— 1912 Hockey Report £E3 THE Hockey Team of 1912 was one of the most successful that has ever represented Central, being the undefeated champions of the High School Hockey League, and winner of the Ward C. Burton perpetual challenge cup. The first game was with East, at Central rink, which ended with the score 4 to 1 in Central’s favor. The next was with West, which was played before the largest crowd of the season. The game was fast and exciting throughout and finally ended with the score in Central’s favor 0 to 5. The third game was played with North, at North Commons, and was won by Central 2 to 1. South did not have a hockey team. The second game with East was played at the Hippodrome, which ended with the score 4 to 1 in Central’s favor. The next game played was with North, this time at Central rink. The ice was soft, but this did not hinder our scoring department very much, as Central won the game easily 8 to 0. The second game with West was not played on the scheduled date, but after a lot of trouble, was finally played at the Hippodrome rink. The game was hotly contested throughout, and at the end of the first half the score stood 0 to 0. In the second half West scored first, but it was not long before Central tied the score. The score remained a tie throughout the rest of the half and three extra ten-minute periods, which number of extra periods had been decided upon to be played in case the score should be tie at end of the second half. The score was. Central 1. West 1. Thus ended the hockey season of 1912. The hockey team owes much of its success to Mr. Kavel, who was the team’s coach and manager, and with his help next year Central ought to have another championship team. VERNER BERRY. Captain. —82— Docker Horn Marthall Holp Peterson DcKindrcc Young Kurhn Sill (C.ipt. McLeod Track THE season of 1911 was a most successful one for the Central High Track Team, winning the St. Paul Y. M. C. A. Indor Meet, as well as the one held at the Minnesota University Gymnasium. In the meet at Shattuck Central won second place. The team also made a good showing in the Northwestern Interscholastic Meet, and won third place in the contest between the city High Schols. So far this season (1912) the team has had several opportunities to show its merits. The first was in the dual meet at Shattuck where it made a fairly good showing. The Inter-Class Indoor Tourney was next, in which the team as a unit did not, of course, compete, but which nevertheless brought out some good individual work. It also served to show the enthusiasm manifested in track here at school, about seventy-five athletes from the different classes competing. Central won again the Annual University Meet, taking the relay without much trouble. In the Twin City Indoor Meet our team won second place. This meet was one of the most successful ones that Central ever participated in, if we may judge from the enthusiasm shown by the students. The National Guard Armory, where the meet was held was crowded with spectators, a good portion of which came from Central. The track team is already very well organized and the outlook for the year 1912 is very favor- able- E. LEON DeKINDREE, Captain. —Kit— Baseball 1911 FROM the standpoint of Central, the 1911 baseball season proved to be the most successful in several seasons. The team started out well JEl by defeating North 5 to 0. The hitting of Bronsdon and Duffy’s pitching featured this game. The following week Central administered the second shutout of the season with East High as the victim. Poor work in the field and on bases resulted in Central’s first defeat at the hands of South, the final score being 5 3. The hitting of the Central team defeated West, a week later, in a one-sided game, by the score of 8—1. The team continued the batting streak attained in the West game and defeated East for a second time by a 10 4 count. Central was scheduled to meet North for a second time but the blue and white withdrew from the league. After two weeks of the most strenuous practice of the season. Central was ready to meet South. A victory for Central meant a tie for the championship, but a defeat would give South the pennant. Central’s batting and fielding in the early stages of the game was the best displayed all season and when South came to bat in the last of the eighth inning Central was ahead 4 1. Hard hitting by South, and an error at a crucial time, tied up the score and another error won the game for South in the ninth, the final result being 5 4. Central wound up the season by defeating West 2 1 in the closest game of the season. With the return of all the veterans, except Miller and Hart, we may hope for the baseball championship at Central in 1912. CLIFFORD RUGG. Captain. —S4— Coder .Smith Schmitt Tennis Season 1911 REVIEW OF TENNIS ¥ t OW many people in Central know that they were represented last spring by a tennis team second to but one in the Northwest? Cer-SKffl tainly not even a fair average if we can judge by the interest shown. Perhaps it is because tennis is a sport not as well known as football, baseball, etc. If it is, don’t fail to get acquainted with it at your first opportunity. We were hampered in playing the spring tourney by the lack of available courts and as a result there was no consolation or double competition. The four men reaching the semi-final round were chosen as a team to represent the school in our dual matches, being Selden Smith 11, Dayne Donovan ’ll, Howard Cosier 13 and Robert Schmitt ’12, none of whom had ever made the team before. Traveling to St. Paul they met and defeated the St. Paul Academy team by a score of four matches to two. Shattuck was received at the Mini-kahda Club and treated in the same manner. The Northwestern Interscholastic Tournament was, of course, the biggest event of the year and each school was represented by three men. Central was two points behind St. Paul Central in the final outcome. Sidney Lankester of that school was declared champion after defeating our own “Sully” Smith in the final round. This year the ambition is to capture the cup to put along with the records that endear Old Central to us. ROBERT A. SCHMITT.

W. Kavel J. N. Greer A Senior’s Dream i I had the queerest dream last night. After a midnight lunch; I dreamt about our Faculty. And they were a funny bunch. Now in my dreams I went to school The school where we had so much fun. Just as I climbed the Central steps, I ran into Prof. Emerson. I did not know his face at first, But thought his aspect wierd. For he had shaved his moustache off And wore a Van Dyke beard. I turned away, my brain a-whirl. And met a funny sight Mr. Richardson in the physics room Blowing out an electric light. I quickly tried to hide a smile. And turned away my face. When to my consternation heard Prof. Greer Singing bass. When to “A study room I quickly turned and digged,” There Miss Schirmer was beating time. While Mr. McWhorter jigged. And Osborn, whose fair face From hair had never been free. Now let his curly locks escape And wore a cute goatee. Around the room in quick dismay I cast a startled glance. And in a far off corner saw Miss Williams in a trance. I stopped to laugh and laughed so long, I thought that I would choke; But luckily I didn’t for I fell from bed and woke. —S7— One of the Frenhman Cla T2.

Our mighty football guys; With two defeats, and a victory clear. And a couple of scoreless ties! I'll call them out. just one by one. So you can take your choice; The lean, the lank, and the thin along With those of the avoirdupois! Here comes our Captain Pickering, The quarter-back and half; Of all the heroes he’s the king For grandstand play and that! Next comes the full-back, sometimes half, The best of booters, too; The steadiest, fastest, nerviest chap That ever went to school! —si� — He played the game from start to finish, And who do you suppose he could be? Now don’t be too wise, and don’t be too foolish, ’Cause it’s only Cliff Rugg, you see! Next comes that mighty Ellenstein; (That man with the wooden back!) At times he played rotten, and again he played so-so. (For he was afraid it would crack!) Now comes the lightest of the bunch, A hundred and thirty net; He played at quarter, and I have a hunch. It’s really our Jimmy Barrett! Here comes the full-back, tackle and guard, Sir Percy Cowin, you see; He weighed (tho he worked so awfully hard) A hundred and eighty-three! Now who is that, like a telephone pole. That fellow who played in the line? Oh yes!— say it soft! Sh!—it’s only McFaul, For he’s not so hard to define! Here come two infants, half-backs, scarcely. Looking so sheepish and shy; Come right along, little Clapper and Berry, ’Cause you played South High to a tie! Well, here comes a chap named Zachs, Who played at the end of the line. And behind him, Scott, as hard as tacks. Who played the other as fine! • Ha!—Here we are with Mutt and Jeff, The long and short, you see; Old Haugberg guarded on the left. And Hanson on the lee! Sylvester, Elfes, Bloomquist and Horn, I think I’ve named them all; They all have come, and all have gone. And all have played football!
