Photography Ifnmmirii The Editors of this book have attempted to give the reader a few characteristic glimpses of student life as they have found it in Central for the past four years. That they may have failed is quite possible, but that they have tried is unquestionable. May your judgement be as lenient as their endeavor has been sincere. UR Alma Mater has fostered boys and girls for about forty years. She has changed her place of residence several times. Each move has been to a larger, better, more palatial residence, till now- but enough. I am going to talk about her past glories, not her present ones. In 1875 she was living in the Washington building, where the court house now stands. That year her first class graduated. This pioneer class still has its reunions. A few years later Mater moved to the second and third floors of the Curtis block on First Avenue and Washington. Then was the dawn of Athletics, for the boys had a baseball team that probably played its games on the rural meadows of Grant street. More lustily throve the literary society that conducted debates and essay competitions. It was in 79 that the great city spell-down was held in one of the theatres. Teachers and pupils alike assembled on the stage and spelled. They went down slowly tremble ye learned ones of today, for they went much more slowly than you would have gone. But a spell-down is one of the things that is sure as death and taxes, and they did go at last. In the end the one who stood alone was a pupil not a teacher. When Central moved into the fine new stone building on Eleventh street, she was the only Minneapolis high school. Two-hundred seekers after knowledge were enrolled under her banners. When the other schools came into being, they taught only the Freshman and Sophomore years of the course. Those who were not content with two years of high school work came to Central and there had the cap put on their education. With the new building and widened opportunities her sons and daughters accomplished wonders. Class plays and assemblies were introduced and school spirit rose proportionately. The Gale prize was left to the school by Mr. Gale when he retired from the school board during the eighties. In 1893 the foot ball team was put under the charge of a coach, and soon other branches of athletics followed. After the annex was built class spirit rose to the heights. This is quite literal, for the boys used to climb up on the tower and paint it with their class colors. Pa lie Seven THE NEW Our Alma Mater can point with pride to many of our prominent citizens and say, “They went forth from my gates.” The list of their names is a long one from David Percy Jones who has been mayor, Douglas Fiske, President of the Civic and Commerce Association, and Pudge Heffelfinger we all know that he means football, to our dear Quentin. Among them are some of our faculty, Miss Crounse, Miss Fish, Miss Helliwell, Miss McGregor, Miss Towler, Miss Trufant, Miss Greer and Mr. Andrews. When we see how Central has grown from the little school in the Washington building to our fine new structure, from a graduating class of three to more than fifty times as great, and when we see how much has been accomplished by those who have gone before us, we realize that we will have to work and play hard to follow the examples that have been given us. We must use all our strength and power to be worthy of our Alma Mater. Page Eiftht JFacultii John N. Greek, Principal Lou N. McWhorter, Asst. Principal Maud Miller, Home Visitor Ellen A.

Dear Central, to honor thee now we are come, And to thee all our homage we bear, Alma Mater, the noblest, the truest, the best, The fairest of all that is fair. Dear friendships in thee will ever be found, Rich treasures for soul and for mind; Thou hast sheltered us well from life’s perils and storms, And thy ties round our hearts thou hast twined. Our voices we raise in the highest acclaim, And our loyalty now to thee plight. We love thee, we’ll win thee bright laurels of fame, Thy honor we’ll keep fair and white. To enter the portals of Wisdom’s estate We are striving within thy broad halls, And slowly but surely we’re learning the way To answer aright when Life calls. We pray that good fortune may ever be thine In all that the future may bring. Dearest Central, thy praises, fond, loyal and true, Thru eternity clearly shall ring. We ne’er can forget thee. As long as we live Thy mem’ry will brighten our lot, ‘‘And dry with the dryness of ashes shall be The heart that remembereth not”. Eleanor Sewall Pa fie Ten .

Our High School career is finished and 1 do not feel that it is a time for advice to come from one of the class. Neither do I wish to fill space with praises of you. What we have accomplished is done. We have hoped that our accomplishments might speak for themselves. Further, I do not seek to stir your memories of your Senior year. We each have our own, and they are bound together in a unity of spirit. But the privilege which I do wish to claim is that of expressing my hearty appreciation of the splendid support and co-operation shown by you at all times; and the pleasure of wishing you the happiness and marked success which is surely your due. Sincerely your president, Larry Richards.

A successful informal dance was given with the June class. The faculty entertained the two senior classes at a very fine informal party. After some discussion the class decided on Rembrandt’s photographs and Wild’s announcements. On December eighteenth, Pinero’s “Cabinet Minister” was given by talented members of the class with the help of Miss McGregor. As a memorial the class paid the balance due on the Steinway piano. With graduation on January twenty-first a very pleasant year was ended. Edith Cotton, Secretary Page T wdve A SENIORS The Seniors are the grandest things.

Parte Twenty-seven “Gllje Cabinet Minis ter” Y | RTHUR W. PINERO’S play, “The Cabinet Minister” was given by the | January class, as coached by Miss McGregor. The “Cabinet Minister” himself was well taken by Ralph Hillgren, who portrayed a dignified old gentleman, who had failed to keep up the race with time, and whose only solace was in executing doleful wails on his “whistle.” The part of Lady Twombly his wife, was most splendidly taken by Katherine Davlin, who played perfectly the subtle changes from laughter to tears. Her object in the situation, was to take advantage of her husband’s political and social position and marry her “chicks, “Imogen and “Brooke” to persons desirable for their money and place. To do this and keep the appearance of financial ease she borrowed vast sums from “Joseph Lebanon,” who with his sister “Mrs. Gaylustre,” were most anxious to scale the social ladder. The attempts of Harold Overholt, as “Mr. Lebanon,” to mingle with the aristocracy ended most tragically. The hopeless persistent manner in which he persisted on starting the story of “Me and Tom and the ducks and always found himself alone, was most pathetic. His sister “Fan shoved herself into society, by means of a feather which protruded several feet from the front of her hat. In fact Miss Ingham made a very effective social climber but failed to trap the effections of Macphail of Ballochevin, Elmer Haugberg whose chief occupations were tangling up his feet, watching the sun rise, and hiding behind his mother, whose part, taken by Miss Rappoport, was most amazing because of accent, motherly affection, and ancient garb. Page Twenty-Eight In spite of Lady Twombly’s solicitude, her chick, “Imogen, Elizabeth Brown insisted on marrying one “Valentime White, Robert Fischer, as scorner of social niceties, who would have been equal to wearing blueieans and a flannel shirt to a banquet, (if he could have been coaxed to a banquet, at all.) Her other chick, “Brooke, Lawrence Richards, with his idiotic “what which sounded each time like an inspired explosion, chose a languid “Miss’ Esther Radeck whose chief care was “my hair”. The Dowager was a stout aggressive person, whow as always possessed of a motive, which affliction she constantly used as a lever to pry into other people’s affairs. “Mr. Melton,” Milton Wiggenhorn, the private secretary, was possessed of the ability to smile through the back of his hand, and “Probyn,” the servant, George Werdenhoff, was the proud owner of a startling limp. ‘‘The Earl of Drumdurris” as taken by Paul Lundgren, was a red jacketed fellow whose chief occupation was following the hounds. t was to his castle that the whole party retired for the vacation jollity. And it was at his ball that Mr. Lebanon in his burlesque attempt to trip the light fantastic toe, so rudely offended one “Miss Munkittrick, Erden Wolf, that her honorable father, Edgar Jaeger, proceeded to chastise Mr. Lebanon, but succeeded mainly in rending the air with his wild gesticulations. As a whole the play was a grand success. Thanks should be extended to Carel Koch, Staley Corl, and Leon DeKindree for their timely and kindly aid behind the scenes. VafeeTvietw With Apnliigtra tu $pukrstirar g First Witch: Thrice the office cat hath mewed. Second Witch: Thrice and once her tail was trod. Third Witch: The office clock has ceased to nod. First Witch: Round about the cauldron go, In the broken inkwell throw. Thou, too, oh lunchroon bun, Days and nights has thirty one Sweltered venom, waiting got, Patient, patient, to be bought; Boil thou first in the charmed pot. All: Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Second Witch: Badly marked report card take. In the cauldron boil and bake. Purple tie and crimson sock, Yellow blouse and ochre frock, H2S and piece of chalk, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell broth, boil and bubble. All: Double, double, toil and trouble, Like a Hell broth, boil and bubble. Third Witch-' Scale of measure, tense of soil, Caeser’s mummy, brain and skull Of the ravined Virgil shark, Root of thirty, thought in the dark, Leaky, drippy fountain pen, Soul of quizis gloomy den, Nose of Center, Tackles lips, Sliced when foot of Left guard slips, Meat of Bacon, microbe’s duel, Janitor’s cat and lunchroon stool, Pa£e Thirty Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Second Witch: Bind it with a locker key, To make the charm good as can be. First Witch: By the pricking of my thumbs. Something wicked this way comes. Open locks, whoever knocks. Enter Macbeth Macbeth: How now, you secret, black and midnight hags! What is’t you do? All: A deed without a name. Macbeth: I conjure you, by that which you profess, How’er you came to know it, answer me! Though you encourage the boys and let them fight Against the coaches; though the chemistry smells Confound and swallow civilization up: Though North High's Carrier win, and Bill fall down. The lunchroom cream puffs tumble In sad defeat—Answer me to what I ask you. Second Witch: (stage direction: awful dramatic) Low hangs the battle's raven clouds, With bloody smoke the earth it shrouds. The squadron led By Captain Larry at their head. With polished steel his horse he spurs, His jeweled sword in air he whirs, Cries “Boys don’t let them get our goat!” Hushed is the canon’s rumble, Thru the field the searcher's stumble. The fallen figure on the slope, Cry “Tis Edgar, is there hope?” Doctor Robert hope will give, “He is talking, he will live.” Who are the silent figures yonder, Page Thirty-one O’er the field so pensive wander? O! How the suffering heart is bled, Searching vainly for its dead! Hush! Tis Oozy, Walter, wiser. Hunting for their right inciser. First Witch: In gleaming robes of creamy satin, Sings, sweet as a nun at morning matin, Darling Dorthy; while hearts unstrung Hang on the accents of her tongue. But happy Koch the prized smile wears, As o’er the fringed box he leans. Earle, quite patient as of old, At the stage door, in the cold, And bitter biting winter air, Waits for some delinquent Fair. Third Witch: Of men indeed, there was but one, And Rev. Hilgren was that son, All the rest that gathered there Were maidens sweet and mild and fair. He, in the center fain would stay, And on his knees a wobbly tray, With a glass of tea, so very sour, To balance which took all his power. With frutive grab, he let it slip. His neighboresse gave out a yip. Cried Valborg, “0 you vile inhuman monster And for this I call you down sir! The perfumes all, from Arab's strand, Can ne'er make sweet, this little hand.” Second Witch: Far from the world’s ignoble slander Slumber Murray Alexander, Sleepy, gazes at the sky, At the cloudlets drifting by. “Worryings for others meet Life is short, and sleep is sweet.” Third Witch, Aye sir all, this is so; but why stands Macbeth thus amazedly? Come sir, cheer you up your spirits. And you may kindly say. Our duties did you welcome pay.

Yet such is the case, and we now come to the time when all our dear friends congratulate us and tell us of all the trials and tribulations we shall encounter in our future careers and also how to meet such terrible things. The best way we can take these good words of advice and still show our appreciation is expressed in a few words by Shakespeare, “Give every man thine ear but few thy voice.” But doesn't our future rest much with ourselves, whether it shall be joyful or sad, for did not Milton say, “The mind is its own place and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven,” and I pray that God may help us all make our lives and those of the people we work with, full of joy and happiness. All this may sound a trifle serious to some of you, and yet I am sure that we shall all find that in order to make the best of ourselves, we must look to One above. So just as your days have been full of happiness in both the old and new buildings, may the days to come be filled with greater joy for you and yours. Marshall B.

It all happened because one “petite little maid U liked to play with the affections of a big, bold man (or at least that's what he thought himself). Now. one night in April when a Storm was raging, and his jealousy overcame him, he stalked out into the Hale, crossing her threshold for the last time—so he vowed. The next Day the mood of the martyrs sat heavy on his chest. He must do something to make her forget his cruel words. Hut. she would never forget! Alas! Why live! He seized his father’s “twentv-two. strode out of the house, jumped into the Ford, and putting on all Power, rode away. W here? He didn’t know! Of course this was the closed season for hunting, but in his frenzy a hundred ideas presented themselves to him. If he should break the Laws by killing something other than himself, he would be arrested and then She would come and plead for his freedom. And if, in the attempt to Wing a bird, he should shoot himself (of course not fatally), then. She would sit and weep by his bedside. He already pictured the final reconciliation, in a shady Bower on a Daisy studded Lawn. In this state of mind he came to a Wood, and, as it looked like a good spot for murder or accidental suicide, he alighted from his steed. Now a gun is a dangerous thing to Carey, but, reckless male that he was, he exulted in the danger, and almost yearned to spill a little of his Blood or break a Bone. Oh, if he only had possessed Moorehead this tale need never have been told! He sighted a little Brown rabbit, but the rabbit had seen him too. Our friend gave Chase and altho he lost the rabbit, saw a lonesome Partridge in a Field. He aimed and was about to lire when a heavy hand fell on his shoulder. Yes, it was a tall (Jaunt, enraged farmer, and he said: “What do you mean, young man?” But that was all. for our hero “ducked” and fled down the road. The farmer jumped into his rig and, crying Gee! Gee! to his horse, followed in hot pursuit. As the forlorn lover was rather weary after a sleepless night, the farmer overtook him and drove him sternly back to the farmhouse. There they were met by a woman in a mother-Hubbard whose vocabulary consisted of the phrase “What’s Butterworth?” The romantic youth was allowed to Wash and later, bravely facing his captor, told the whole sad story. No Christian could exact the penalty of the law under such conditions, so the Ford was recovered, and aged, worn and wearied, our hero rode back to town. Slipping into the house a id up to his room lie cried yearningly “Obed. () wonderful bed!” and sank into sweet si uml er. Yes,—they “made up and lived happily ever after. MARIAN WASH.

Secretary; Donald Beard Treasurer. Our powers are, in a way. untried, for we are entering on that most important part of all our high school course,—the senior year. We hope to make this successful, as our past has been. It is not necessary to recount our achievements in detail. We arc a good representative class, prominent in athletics, interested in all activities connected with the school, and, I need hardly add, devoted to our lessons as all high school pupils are. In some ways a January class has advantages over a June class. Since there arc fewer members there is an opportunity for closer fellowship and stronger class spirit. We anticipate the year that lies before us with the keenest pleasure, and hope to make our influence as a class felt. If we live up to our motto, “Deeds, not Words,” we will most surely realize our ideals, and keep up the traditions that have become famous in OKI Central. STILLMAN CHASE. Pafic Scvcnty-six Q[l)£ (Class of 3nm, 191 fi The class of June, 1916, has thus far made a record l oth in scholarship and athletics that is typical of the Central High standard. During the past season the class had representatives on all the school athletic teams. It's track team secured a sufficient number of points in the indoor Inter-class Meet to win with ease. Aided by the January class of 1916, it also ran away with the hockey championship for the past season, and was runner-up in the basketball contests. All these facts speak well enough of the athletic ability of the class. If anyone should doubt our scholastic ability, the records in the office will dispel these doubts. These records speak for themselves and show the high standard that is demanded at Central High. The 1914 class party, in which we were again assisted by the class of January, was a great success, financially and socially. This party showed that class spirit is not lacking in the June, 1916, class. With its past reputation and with the record it intends to make in the future, the class bids fair to leave a name worthy of any Central High class. JOHN HOLT.

There came a throng of Freshies small, (For all were short and none were tall) To enter Central High. With bobbing curls and wond'ring eyes And hearts all beating loud. Each clinging to his parent’s hand. In Central’s halls they took their stand, A meek and timid crowd. They scurried wildly up and down. On each ami every floor; From room three-twenty-three they’d go Way through the building; didn't know Three hundred’s right next door. They all went down the stairs marked “up” And up on those marked “down”; To us, the Seniors, they would say “No sir,” “Yes ma’am,” in such a way We felt we owned the town. We laughed at all their queer mistakes. We plagued them terribly; They rarely found a moment’s peace. Although they begged of us to cease,— We teased unbearably. Hut— When we have graduated, and They sit where we have sat. When we’re forgotten, far away. They’ll be the Seniors, proud and gay. They’ll hold the place we hold to-day— We never thought of that!

The 1913 season closed with bright prospects for a powerful eleven this fall in the field, but when the team faced East in the first game of the schedule, only three of the ten expected C‘ men were in uniform. Richards and Clark were out from injuries; Evans was barred by physical examinations; Kelly and Churchill by age; Ilaugbcrg by parental objections; and De Kindree thru scholastic difficulties. Despite these handicaps, the boys started a rushing game against East, with Aich and Holmgren performing in mid-season style. The teams appeared very evenly matched, but a long forward pass by our opponents cost us the game. Score: East 6, Central 0. North, our next opponent, appeared with a heavy team composed of experienced players, and we succeeded in holding them to two touchdowns. Holmgren, Ryan and Rooney did some fine work in this game, while Carlin deserves special recognition. Score: North 13, Central 0. The stocky South team was third on the schedule. During the first half Central held South to a no score. In the second half the superior weight, experience, and training of the orange and black prevailed, the game ending with the score 23 to 0, South. During this contest Central developed two good men in Mitchell and McGee, while M. Hagen played a star game at guard. I PadeEightyfive West produced a powerful eleven for the final game of the year. Central showed a marked improvement, every fellow playing a hard, snappy, fighting game. Haugbcrg's return to the line greatly strengthened the team, his playing effectually plugging the big hole left by Carlin’s injury, llagen again showed the ability by which he won his all-city honors, completely outplaying his heavier and more experienced opponent at every stage. Griswold also did good work in this game. The players have appreciated the fine spirit shown by the rooters this fall in supporting the team, and it is hoped that this same spirit of loyalty will prevail in the years to come. Captain-elect Ryan, together with Ba lien tine, McGee, Mitchell, and Murray will form the nucleus for the team of 1915, and around these must be developed a team of unknown qualities. Naturally, nothing definite can be predicted for next year’s team, but the departing members of the 1914 squad feel confident that it will achieve a name for itself on the gridiron. The following players participated in the 1914 games: Rooney, Ryan, S. Hagen, ends; Carlin, Aieh, Haugberg, tackles; M. Hagen, McGee, St rinding, guards; Overholt, Phoenix, centers; Smith, Murray, Fischer, quarterbacks; Mitchell, Osborne, Griswold, Ballentiue, halves; and Holmgren, fullback. HERBERT CHURCHILL, Captain 1914 Team. Page Eidhty-wx Pa lie Eighty-seven THE 1914 TRACK TEAM HE 1914 track season was one of the most successful of recent years. The team was composed of men who were veterans, or who had had some previous experience. This team brought Central the third consecutive “City Championship,” and the second consecutive “Twin City Championship.” “tHrack The men remaining from the 1913 season were: Peterson, Y. Smith. Krafft, Moorhead, I). Neilson. Cox, and Maple, and with the addition of several new men a team was formed which was hard to beat. The team lost its captain, “Jimmy” Peterson, through illness, but nevertheless, they won the annual Indoor Meet with ease. In this meet Central broke several records, and “Dick” Fischer was discovered. He tied Bohcn's 440 yards record. Central also ran away with St. Paul Central in an indoor dual meet. The outdoor season was even more of a success than the indoor season. Central placed third in the Northwestern Meet, at the Cniversity, which was a remarkable showing when one considers that Keewatin and Shat tuck competed. Central won the first Annual Twin City Meet at Carleton by 3 points, her nearest rival being Minneapolis North. This meet was the crowning event of the year. Central had at least 300 rooters present, and they filled the entire grandstand. “Dick” Fischer won Central’s only first in the 440. We practically won the meet on seconds, thirds and fourths. We also won the Annual City Meet at Northrop Field, by a very close margin, and obtained permanent possession of the cup. The Hamline Relays at the end of the season were won by Minneapolis North, and St. Paul Central. The 1915 prospects are good, but we lose a number of veteran men. THOMAS MAPLE. Page Eifthty nmc THE 1914 BASEBALL TEAM eg - ic-= XV, ffiasehall Mil l | HEN the first call for baseball candidates was issued, over fifty men W % I reported, and the outlook for a championship was indeed bright and encouraging. With the veterans Thompson, Wight man. Darling, Kendall and two of last year’s utility men as a nucleus, a strong team was the logical result. Bad weather postponed the opening of the season and Central was handicapped in her first game by the loss of some of her veterans. The result of this initial encounter with East was disastrous to Central East winning, 13 to 0. In the second game. South proved themselves better mud horses than Central, landing on the long end of a 5 to 0 score. Then came North. Their much touted star, Bruhn, had pitched against East on the same afternoon, so Lovely was sent in to his fate; Central pounded his offerings all over the lot. the final result being Central 0 North 1. Filled with new hopes. Central met the West warriors and defeated them in the best played game on the schedule 1 to 0. Henry was invincible and Central fielded and hit like real champions. In the next game with East, Central went in to avenge her former defeat and went after “I efty” Ryan, the sensation of the East side, from the outset. When the slaughter ended. Central had amassed 10 runs to East’s lone tally. Ewald pitched a fine game for Central. Then Central met and easily defeated West 5 to 2, Phillips striking out eleven West batters. South was a snag for Central and Central lost, 5 to 3. North forfeited to Central 9 to 0, giving us a tie with South and West for the championship. While the season just passed was not as successful as it might have been, we should be proud of the team. Central has lost many of her veterans thru graduation, but with such men as Rooney, Clark, Walfrcd, Darling, and Captain, elect Thompson, Central should be iu the running again next year with a strong team. ELMER WIGIITMAN, Captain 1914. Pa lie Ninety-one THE 1914-15 HOCKEY TEAM Sjackeij HE prospects of the 1915 hockey team were anything but encouraging. Thru graduation and for other reasons. Central lost her galaxy of stars and had but one man, Captain Smith, around which to build a team. The season opened with East as our opponents and worthy ones they proved. The end of the first half Central was leading 2-1, but the boys must have considered the game won for they contentedly allowed East to add four goals to her credit in the second half. T h e final score was 5-3. with East on the long end. In the following game with North, was seen quite an improvement in team work and Central won 2-0. Batch, our point, secured the puck in front of his goal, carried it the length of the rink, and played a trick on himself by shooting a goal. Shame on Robert. Beard soon added another. Van Fossen at goal also played a stellar game. We next played West on a slush-covered rink. Some called it a hockey game—but, as this is to l e printed — we thought otherwise, to put it mildly, team work was out of the question and the game was a farce from Pa ftc Ninety-three sturt to finish. West scored first. Central then tied the score which ended the scoring for the first half. West needed assistance so one of Central’s men gave them a goal by shooting in the wrong direction—heady work. The final score was 3-1, West. Our second game with Hast was undoubtedly one of the best and fastest of the city series. The team and rooters were determined to win, and win we did. If such support were manifested oftener by the student body, Central's “spirit” could not be questioned. With but four minutes to play, and Central leading 6-1, our goal tender w'as penalized. On his return to the game his eyes were affected to such a degree that East added four goals to her credit. The whistle put an end to the suspense and gave Central a well earned victory. Sevey and Maple played in their best form in this contest, the latter shooting five goals. The defensive work of Cantieny at cover was all that could be desired and Captain had his man “sweard” throughout the game. The team played as a unit, and undoubtedly were rounding in great shape for the final spurt when two weeks of warm weather put an end to practice. North forfeited by refusing to play us a return game, altho asked repeatedly to name a date. The team which went against West at the Hippodrome was woefully out of condition. We never had a chance and West won 3-0. Altho we didn’t win the championship, we might have fared worse than a tie for second place with East. The school may well feel proud to have such representative “C” men as Captain Smith, Heard, Sevey, Cantieny, Maple, Van Fossen, Balch and Elliot, and here is to Captain-elect Heard and his 1916 squad.

Some thirty-two entries participated in good all-round tennis, until at the end, the first four pegs were held by Balch. Moorhead, Jaeger, and Maple. These four men composed the team in competition in dual meets. They were very successful, defeating East, West, North, and Blake and tying with Blake in a second meet. Central entered the inter-scholastic tournament represented by Balch, Moorhead, and Jaeger considered favorites by many, and expected to gather high honors. Balch, however, was defeated in a close match by Warner of St. Paul Academy, and Jaeger lost out after a hard fight in the earlier rounds. Moorehead went through the preliminary rounds in excellent form, defeating everyone in his way with ease until the semi-final round. Here he was defeated after a hard struggle by Bullion, an expert from St. Paul Central. This left Central in third place for match points, the first leg of the new Ward C. Burton trophy going to St. Paul Central. l he season as a whole was one of great success, more entries taking part and greater enthusiasm shown thruout by the student body. Tennis, as a sport, is undoubtedly growing in popularity. Prospects for the coining season are unusually bright, with Moorhead. Maple, and Balch back ready for their final crack at tennis honors. ROBERT BALCH. L PaHe Ninety-six Basketball C IIE Interclass basketball season of 1914-15, produced the usual well-played games,—and c lass disappointments. The A Seniors won the class championship, opening their schedule l� v defeating the B Seniors in a rough game 3 to 2; and, taking the hit in their teeth, were never headed. They soon developed a specialty of playing two games in an afternoon, “To keep warm,” they confided to their followers. This team was composed of Hagen, Williams, forwards; De Kindree, center; Richards, Osborne, guard. The Interclass games saw the return of most of last year’s Stars to the fold; while S. Hagen and members of the Freshman team have been added to the “Lights” by unanimous opinion. In fact, our Freshies’ sensational playin g was unexpected, and disconcerting to the teams who bowed to them, and we humbly predict that four years from now they will be a team of world beaters. The Sophomores proved a great disappointment to their followers, starting out in whirlwind style, but failing in the critical stages. The championship game was played in the evening between the Seniors and Juniors, and developed into the fastest and cleanest game seen on the local floor. The Junior cause was hopeless from the beginning however, for the brilliant defence and machine-like team work of the Seniors could not be overcome, and, in consequence, not a field basket was annexed by the Juniors. 'I'wo foul baskets by Darling were all the Juniors could register, the game ending with the score 29 to 2, Seniors. The final result found the first three year teams tied for second place. The games were featured by fast, clean, and sportsmanlike play on the part of the participants, while the official rulings of Felton, Cummins, Throner, and Brooks could not well be improved upon.

Pafte Ninety-seven GIhe (Blatatmrs at the ICakc E arrived at the Van Fossen emporium, October 20th. twenty-five moleskin gladiators making up the party. Since it was deemed necessary to have chaperons, Felton and Cummins acted in this capacity. We selected our bedrooms, which were large enough to turn around in, when the windows and doors were all open—not otherwise. The beds upon which we expected to gain our hours of sweet repose were as downy and soft as a rook quarry. Karl Rooney was appointed keeper of the grub, and he acted his part well. He must have kept most of it, for we seemed to get very little. He was also the person who appointed the cooks, and Hill Kelly, the man Kelly Pool was named after, prepared our first meal. The Hagen brothers and McGee, assisted by the terrible Guv Throner, managed to make some so-called fried eggs and fried ham, which surely could never have passed the pure food inspector. The Friday morning breakfast was the grand banquet of our whole stay, and no wonder, for “Red” Ballentvne, ex-( hcf-in-Chief to His Majesty, Hoola Oogla, King of Uganda, assisted by yours truly, were the chefs in charge. Every afternoon we practised on a lot a short distance away. This would undoubtedly have been enjoyable, had Jupiter Pluvius not been so much in evidence.

Aich had an ancient grudge to settle with Rooney and myself and after massing together Carlin, Strimling, Murray, Churchill, and Mitchell, they dipped us gently (?) into the lake.

The name and motto, “Growth, Education and Service, explains the purposes of the work undertaken by the organization. May the Club progress well in fulfilling its purposes, “to develop the highest standard of womanhood and to promote a spirit of cooperation and fellowship.” Speakers and entertainments are provided for each meeting, the sick are remembered with flowers; members go to the Wells Memorial and to I nity House to care for the children in the day-nursery, and each member makes it her business to be of service. The reception for new members and the “Kid Party” are but examples of the club’s social activity. GLADYS STRITE.

The membership numbers about fifty at present. Junior and Senior boys only are eligible. Every Tuesday at six o’clock, this club meets with similar clubs from the other high schools, at the V. M. C. A., where a fifteen cent supper is voraciously devoured. After the supper, some prominent man gives a thirty-minute talk on some topic of interest to high school boys. Immediately after the talk, each club adjourns to its room where, after a twenty minute Bible study, practical school questions are discussed. We make no boast of our past achievements; we make no reckless or over optimistic promises for the future. But we can and will say that whenever there is need of it, the Boys’ Club will rise up powerful, well organized, willing, and prepared to stand by and fight, to the end, for high ideals and the good name of our school.

The business meetings were first held in “A” room and the club made weekly trips to the manufacturing establishments of the twin cities, and soon made itself known in the two cities as a live body of fellows, willing to learn and to advertise what they had learned. The club has always had in its enrollment of members the livest fellows that have ever gone to Central, and they profited by being members of this club and taking an active interest in it. The same class of fellows are interested in this club today, and, although there have been some minor changes from the original constitution, the purpose of the club “to gain for its members a better knowledge of the manufacture and use of the commodities of life.” still remains fixed. From time to time, the club has given banquets to different athletic teams, and according to history, they were always thoroughly enjoyed. The present administration is particularly anxious to make this club an activity in the school that will be felt, and plans are slowly forming towards that end. All junior and senior students are welcome to join the club at any time; there are no fixed dues and a little amusement in the form of an initiation at the end of the term will be the onlv penalty on new members.

The plan of debate adopted was quite a radical departure from the old method, there being only one five minute rebuttal, while the direct argument was limited to eight minutes. Simultaneous debates were held; The affirmative team, composed of Elizabeth Hailey, Harold Johnson and Edgar Jaeger represented the school at East High. After a hot and snappy argument from both sides, the judges handed in a two to one decision in favor of our opponents. But the debate at Central more than evened things up. The negative team, consisting of Elmer Jennings, Howard Coan, and Clyde Fredrickson, completely outclassed their opponents and won a unanimous decision, thus making the total score four to two in Central’s favor.

Orchestra was organized eight years ago in response to a spirit which prevailed all over the country in recognizing the value of such organizations in high school work. There is no other high school subject that offers stronger inducement for “Concentration The school orchestra is not the outcome of any individual hobby or effort. It has a sound pedagogical foundation and approval. We have two main objects in view. First; to absorb the cultural value that is in it for the individual. Second; to furnish musical entertainment for various school activities. During the past two years, these activities have performed their tasks with credit to themselves and to the school. Out of these two objects, there arises the practical side, which must not be overlooked. The work is of a sufficiently wide scope to enable the members to receive training along professional lines, thanks to Mr. Morse and Mr. Giddings. Several of our orchestra alumni are now making a living with their musical talent. The credit given for the work and the cultural and practical value derived from it, have been enough of an inducement to keep up the organization, but much more could 1m accomplished if all who perform on an orchestra instrument well, would join us. Ix't this be an exhortation for all to lend a hand and help us organize and maintain the best high school orchestra in the northwest. (HAS. PEIIOUS1IEK.

But their work has l een only skin deep; it has never affected the pupils of the schools and athletics have gone on in the same way as before. All their reforms have not caused a school spirit, nor have they caused better athletic teams. None of these reforms can be brought about by exterior changes and rules. The school itself must make the reforms. After two very disastrous years in athletics. Central's letter men have awakened to the fact that Central's teams can not live on the reputations of previous teams. They have found that each team must establish its own reputation and position among the other schools. To help in doing this, the men have organized and are planning to help make real teams worthy to represent Central. They will help the fellows who can not keep up in their studies while out for athletics. They will also revive Central’s old traditions and give the fellows on the teams something worth while to work for, thus helping Central’s teams win championships. These things are to be done through the school itself. The students are to govern their own athletics in the manner which is thought to be the best for 'entral. The following officers have been elected: Fred Phenix, President; James Ryan, Vice-President; Clifford Thompson, Secretary; Earle Rooney, Treasurer. 'Flic club has ratified the constitution of the B. A. A. which will carry out the aims of the club. With such an organization, the “C” men see no reason why athletics in Central should not take a sudden and needed boost.

Working in conjunction with the regular gymnasium and the powers thereof— jjist year Miss Tucker and Miss McClellan, this year Miss Spore and Miss Paine— jt has given to girls many of the privileges and incentives in athletics that have been hitherto monopolized by the boys. This year it has conducted tournaments in tennis, volleyball, and baseball. It has introduced track practice and arranged for swimming classes at the Y. W. C. A.—that the girls did not want to be mermaids was no fault of the Association. Under its wings have grown up two promising and energetic clubs,- the walking club and the riding club. Archery is its latest field of prowess, and plans have been made for a contest to be held at the May fete. During the winter it has given two entertainments. On November 25, it joined with the Hoys’ Athletic Association to give the annual athletic vaudeville On February 19, it gave a party—two playlets and frappe—to the B. Freshman girls. Probably its greatest achievement is the May fete. The G. A. A. has brought a tradition to Ceutral High from Old England,—a tradition of music and dancing and high carnival to celebrate the Spring. This year a masque, written by Clark Nicholson, and entitled “The Return of Spring.” will Ik presented at Fuir Oaks Park.

(51 tt (Quib ACCORDING to the precedent established by those who have written articles explaining the sundry organizations of the school here in previous J ' years, it is in order, I suppose, to say that this organization has never had a more prosperous and enjoyable year. Among the various features which make the (ilee Club an attractive organization for those who like to make good music or otherwise, it might be well to mention a few. In our repertory we have both classical and popular music. It is hard to tell, however, which are the most popular to those who may be so unfortunate as to be in the audience. During the past year the Club has had more outside engagements than in previous years. We gave one concert in North Minneapolis, in the Bremer school. Another concert was given at a North East church. Here they gave us refreshments, and as they thought the audience needed it as badly as we, they gave them some refreshments, too. We had several other engagements which were equally enjoyable. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Morse, in addition to our outside concerts, we mastered the oratorio. “Creation” and the operetta “The BoVn’s Bride.” Both of these were very interesting and mighty good practice. The chances for a club next year are very good and we hope that all “would be” singers will turn out and support it. KARL P. BUSWELL.

While we were talking over our cigars, a good-looking man of about thirty strolled in. Several of the men looked up with surprise and, I thought, with some amusement. Kemper greeted him with: ‘IIullo, Remington, found any more pretty girls with lost gold pieces, hey?’ Remington responded with a sheepish smile and went on into the grill-room. ‘Heard almut the pickle that fellow Remington got into. Jack?’ Kemper asked, turning to me. ‘No?—well alxmt two weeks ago lie turned up at the Club (this is his first apj earance since, by the way) saying that he had been touched for $5 (lie’s a bachelor, so brings his troubles to the Club). It seems that in the Fifth avenue bus, that day, he sat opposite a very pretty woman, who hail apparently dropped by mistake a §5 gold piece into the fare-box instead of a nickel. The driver, to whom she frantically appealed, said that, to recover the gold piece, she must go to the barns, where in a few hours the boxes would l e emptied. Almost in tears, she replied she had but ten minutes to catch the 3:30, her last train, and that besides the lost gold piet’e, she | ossessed but a nickel for her return trip. Remington, observing the lady-in-distress, immediately rose to the occasion, and. like a fool, presented her with a $5 bill. He explained that lie was going to the end of the line and would get the gold piece in payment. Accordingly, at the car barns the fare-box of the Fifth avenue bus was searched for the gold piece but, of course, in vain. He came to the club in a more regretful than angry frame of mind, for he said it was hard for him to l� elieve that such a remarkably pretty and sweet-looking young woman could l e capable of a put-up job like that.’ “ Finishing his narrative at this, Patterson broke into a hearty laugh and, laying down his salad fork, slapped the table smartly. “Good lesson to the fellow, hey, Madge,” he ejaculated, “not to judge a woman’s character by her good looks.” His wife, who had l een listening breathlessly to her husband’s story, scarcely touching her food, at this |H int cried out: “It must be the same woman!” Then to her husband's questioning she replied, “Why, you must know.

She lives with her aunt, an hour's ride from the City; and one day, L Page One-hundred Seventeen the date of her fitting with her dressmaker in the City, she found that her commutation ticket admitted but one more ride, and that for her return trip, besides a nickel she had only a much treasured $5 gold piece. She reached the City, had her fitting, lunched at a friend’s and boarded a Fifth avenue bus for the 3:30 train. To her horror, she found she had dropped the gold piece in the fare l ox. A gallant, handsome gentleman, noting her distress, and explaining that he would get the gold piece in return, offered her a So bill, which after some hesitation she accepted. Imagine her consternation when, on arriving home, in the lining of her handbag, she found the gold piece! Consequently, for these two weeks, she has carried the gold piece with her, to return to the gentleman, should she encounter him (she claims that anywhere, even in New York’s throngs, she would recognize his fine face). Yet she had some misgivings. It would be hard to confront. on the street, a man to whom she owed so much and who might regard her as a confidence woman, a disgrace to her sex. You can see by her words,” Mrs. Patterson added, “that she was much impressed by the man.” “By Jove,” exclaimed her husband, “we’ll have to telephone Remington, the explanation, and the girl’s address, and perhaps,” his eyes twinkling as he spoke, “perhaps, incidentally, the gold piece, as Cupid’s agent, will fix us up a match.” And perhaps the gold piece did, who can tell’ JOSEPHINE B.

I had a strange feeling, that of home-sickness for the ones I had left several days before, and a thot of longing for beautiful southern California and those I should see there. I had seen nothing but stretches of sand for hours and wished now for something, almost anything for excitement. The train was slowing down now, but I took no heed for I thought we were nearing a watering station, and, as I entered the ear, we resumed our speed. Then there was a terrible hush thrown over this car of people, who until a few minutes ago, had been so happy and gay. But now there stood in the doorway a man of great stature, fully six feet tall and very broad shouldered. lie was dressed as a genuine tramp, but carried a revolver that would make anyone tremble to look at. “The first one that moves 1 11 shoot,” he yelled and fired a shot out of the window, to make the situation more horrible. “Go to it, boy,” he cried, and two masked man started through the ear, relieving us of our valuables and dearest possessions. The suspense, however, was soon over and the bandits were making their way to the next car. In a few minutes this leader of the robbers was standing in the doorway smiling at us. This time he appeared very differently, for we recognized him as one of the great moving picture actors of today. He returned our possessions to us, telling us his purpose was to secure a picture of a genuine holdup. He and his companions were on the train the rest of that day, and we enjoyed their interesting conversation vastly more than we had the adventure. HELEN ROBINSON.

Minnesota, February 31 Miss Zina Synder, for many years an esteemed member of the Central High faculty, has resigned from her position as instructor in that vepr popular branch of the high school curriculum known as “Vergil to the uninitiated and “Chaos” to to the initiated. She has purchased the lot opposite Central, and will soon erect a palatial establishment to be known as the “Zina Snyder Matrimonal Bureau.” Miss Snyder says, “There are many students at Central who would gladly give their all to learn the scientific art of ‘fu sibus girlibus.' One young man told me that he would pawn his gold tooth or even resign from the News, if he could acquire the courage to address HER. This startling fact has led me to believe that there is a great field open for me as an aid to Cupid.” While expressing the utmost regret at Miss Snyder’s departure from our midst, we are firmly of the belief that she will be a great success in her new found profession. Certain Latin students should be greatly pleased with this annoucement. Boardman an Inventor A Genius in Our Midst C. W.

As I live gentlemen, it is absolutely and without doubt the most interesting and educational feature ever placed before the public eye. Don’t miss it,—Don’t go away—stop— look—listen to one of the greatest collections of human monstrosities ever collected beneath the cover of one book. Lit. included. Step right up, the big show has already commenced. On the right ladies and gentlemen, you will perceive one of the greatest oddities, ever classed under the name of man, Irish Van Ness, the human torch. This case, gentlemen, has been one of the most hafiling mysteries, science has ever hud to contend with, it might be classed as the eighth wonder of the world and still be no exaggeration. A living, breathing, smiling, human being, with a body like a man. but in place of a head, there is only a dome of fire, real fire, too, ladies, just step up and feel the heat, but be careful there, or you’ll get burned. And here, you see before you what might well be termed a mermaid, only it isn’t either a mer or a maid, but one of the strangest creations ever seen by mortal man, Ed.

Ix ok.s in every respect like a human being, but is known to live entirely on books and other reading matter. Just step aside please, here comes his keeper with a couple of tender morsels for the creature; a senior Comp, and a Trig, book, notice how voraciously he devours them. Positively uncanny, rather makes one shudder, just to think upon it. But let us turn away and behold new wonders. Here we have (Miff. Cowin, the man with the bovine expression, on his almost human countenance. Some say that he acquired his perpetual and indefasible grin while watching the pennies come in from News sales. But whatever may be the cause, ladies and gentlemen, the result is truly awesome. He may well be remembered as one of most mysterious manifestations of all of Nature’s odd miscalculations. Next, we have Monsieur De Overholt, the heavy weight, extraordinary. Do you notice that he always remains standing? Ah, I perceive you do, and I also perceive that you are curious to know why. Here is the answer, ladies and gentlemen, the one short sentence that spells the tragedy of this poor freak’s life. He is so fat that he could never rise once he sat down. Isn’t it pathetic? One could almost weep if he had an onion under his eyelid. This, ladies and gentlemen, is Profes- Page One-hundred Thirty-three sor Plienix, the hunmn bean pole. Gaze at him with awe and wonder for you will never see his like again. History has it that once while playing center on his high school team, he also served in the capacity of official measuring rod to record the longest runs of the day.

It should be apparent that Real Estate is at once, the most stable and secure of all things possessible and that nothing else will give such a fundamental knowledge of commercial activities, as can be derived therefrom. TAKE HEED If you have the initiative to seek experience, you shall discover the real principles involved and profit thereby; but if experience is thrust upon you, in your limited knowledge of ‘commerce’ you may act very unwisely for your own interests.
