S. orchestra, presented Handel’s ’“Messiah” before a good audience, December twentieth. HE “Mikado” was presented by the Central High Glee Club, assisted by the C. II. S. orchestra, November twenty-third and twenty-fourth. The production was directed and coached by Mr. Morse. Mr. A. Vogelsang and Mr. Pehoushek. It was due to their efforts, together with the co-operation of the entire club, that the play could he presented in the short time of ten weeks. Mr. A. Vogelsang, impersonating KoKo, the Lord High Executioner, kept the audience laughing constantly; Dorothea Grosskopf, who played the part of Yum Yum, took her part exceedingly well; Mr. Morse, as Xanki Pooh, was the attentive lover; Katisha, taken by Jean Wilson, was Yum Yunvs rival; Walden Balcom played the part of the Mikado: Petti-Sing, who captured the Mikado by her flirtations, was taken by Margaret Steenson; Pooh-Bah, the dignified Lord High Every Thing Else, was Gordon Miller; Peep-Bo, a ward of KoKo. and Pish-Tush. a Noble Lord, were played by Dorothy Scribner and Norman Tisdale: Mr. Edwin Kelly played the part of an umbrella carrier. This operetta was said by many to be the best production ever staged by a Minneapolis High School Glee Club.

Mr. (ireer recently spoke impressively of her power as a teacher, saying in effect that even with students who did not develop much skill of hand, she was able by her sympathetic interpretation of the underlying principles of art, to make it a means of culture and to give some vision of the value of beauty in our lives. Her essential womanliness and breadth of culture carried her influence beyond the circle of her class room and was a potent factor in our school. She has had a large share in building up the art department to its present notable standing. Her taste and her training fitted her for this work to which she gave the full measure of devotion. The excellent illustrations in the 1916 Centrauan bear the impress of her inspiration and guidance and will be to all who have a copy of it a monument to the worth of her instruction. With her went a secret sense Of all things sweet and fair; And beauty’s gracious providence Refreshed her unaware.” 12 3n jflrmortam iBiss tilizabctb (Coleman DIFFICULT it is indeed to come to the realization of the loss of one of our dearly beloved members of the faculty. For three years Miss Klizabcth R. Coleman taught in our midst. But these three years, short as they seem in reckonings of years and days, sufficed to endear her to the hearts of all those with whom she came in contact. Tho her direct sphere of activities was centered about the Knglish department and her classes those of underclassmen, she nevertheless came in intimate contact with and won many, many friends among the upper classmen, due to her services as a club advisor and other activities. Possessed of a kindly personality, she won confidences and then counseled wisely. Beautiful in face, character and carriage, none who knew her could help but love her. Then Nature said 'A lovelier flower On earth was never sown. This Child 1 to myself will take.

These hard times have directly affected the 1917 issue of the Cextralian. Subscriptions have been hard to obtain. Prices of material are higher than ever before. All expenses have increased decidedly. Handicapped bv these circumstances, the Centralian board lias found it necessary to eliminate many attractive features such, for instance, as a wealth of pictures and illustrations, features which add decidedly to the interest of any book. We do not, however, apologize for this book. On the contrary, we would use it as an example of what the classes of 1917 have accomplished in the face of adverse circumstances. To the commercial classes, and to the art department of this school, the board is deeply indebted for the help that has made possible the publication of this annual. 15 16 OUR FACULTY The Faculty John X.

The thousands (men. women, children, dogs, cats, horses, etc.) who thronged lx th sides of the street along the line of march, gazed on in awe and admiration and cheered loudly as the imperial, peerless parade, celebrating the coming out of the second Centralian, wound its stately way in Grand Review. I’ut the onlookers had reason to stare ami gaze in wonder, for before their very eyes were passing some of the most marvelous creations of the human brain and ingenuity. A monstrous “Y with the beans of several well-known Centralites sticking through it symbolized that organization, officially termed the lli-Y Club, but better known as the C. H. S. I Jean Club. (iaily-draped automobiles bearing all sorts of signs and insignia were representative of many of Central's numerous organizations. A man's size camera, supported by two stalwart boosters of the club, typified the Camera Club. A model school house, symbol of the Normal classes, was there. Many grotesque animals and creatures, as yet unclassified by the leading scientists, but all placed under the general heading, “simplicissimae, were liberally scattered along the way. All martyrs to the same good cause, there came a generous sprinkling of Charlie Chaplins (very stylish), clowns, Yama-Yama Girls (also quite modish), hoboes, etc., bearing up bravely under the fierce fire of applause that came from the general direction of the bystanders. The prize-winning float of the entire parade was that of the Girls’ Riding Club. The club representatives, seated calmly on their fiery steeds, at all times showed perfect control over their spirited mounts and managed them with unusual ability. I’.ringing up the rear of the long line, and marching along with grit and pluck.came the World-Famous Hinky Dinky Band, lead by Professor Lew Thomas, ringing from their kettles, spoons, dishpans and other instruments of torture, such music as would melt the hearts of stones and soothe wild beasts (by sending them to gambol on the iolden Stairs and sport about upon the F.lvsian Fields). All the members of this band were afterwards bought up by Sousa himself, who greatly feared their rivalry, not only in local circles but throughout the world. Having completed the course of the march, the entire parade wound up in the auditorium, there to take in the mammoth Centralian assembly. 18 mm 17 Centralian Day—The Assembly S a circus, the Centralian Day Assembly bade fair to rival the famous Bar- num llailev aggregation. As an assembly, the birthday party of the 1916 Ckxtkauak. held in the Central High auditorium, has no equal, either in this country or in any other. Ringmaster llermie Goldstein, appropriately garbed, was in charge as Master of Revels. I’nder his stern command all the animals and actors went through their stunts. The headliner on the bill was the Dance Antiseptic, or the Hunt for the Speck of Dust. This stupendous spectacle had for its leading man. The Little Ray of Sunshine, Franklin Ralph Chase, whose curls locks and beaming, ruddy countenance well adapted him to the part. Miss Lorna Bates made the audience helpless by his superb rendering of several touching little ballad melodies. Her clear mezzo-soprano voice echoed throughout the auditorium and then gradually died away, while his l osom quivered with the feeling that she was trying (vainly) to express to his prostrate audience. Another interesting feature on the program was a song stunt put on by members of the Girls' Club. This little song novelty was especially designed to show up certain members of the female species as being two-faced. (Owing to the presence of masks, the actors succeeded remarkably well in their purpose.) Philosophers say that sorrows make the joys scent sweeter, but the entire audience felt that in this case the sorrow could very easily have been disposed of and the day yet have been an entirely satisfactory one. It was with a lump rising in their throats that the assembled students listened to Mr. McW horter’s farewell address to the members of Central High School, before leaving to take up his new duties as Principal of East High School. 19 !r I i (limnii«� ' J riTTTT'T TT T'T T T T T T T T ITT'I ITTTTTT 17 rivimiTimiimmiim in mulling CHS Back of the Scenes CRIX'G the past year the stage of Central High has seen one grand thing after another. To begin with, on November 23 and 24. the Glee Club put on Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.” Then on December 8. the January, 17, people showed their best talent in dramatics in “Christopher Junior. The afternoon of December 13 marked the initiation of “The Players’ Club to the public, when “Bill Jepsen’s Wife” and “The Fatal Message, one-act plays, were staged. The combined music choruses, assisted by outside soloists, gave music lovers a treat on December 20 by rendering Handel’s masterpiece “The Messiah. Following that, on the afternoon of January 11, came the Girls’ Club “vaudeville, which, besides dancing and singing, presented “The Neighbors,” a one-act play by Zona Gale. A week later this was repeated in the assembly. On February 15 “The Players’’ again showed their talent by presenting in assembly a one-act play “The Green Coat.’’ With a lull of more than a month affairs began with a rush on March 20, when “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry,” by Leroy Arnold, was played by the members of June 17 class. On April 20, under the auspices of the alumni. “The Private Secretary was again staged. Such a record pronounces Central to be a school of “action.” 20 17 nnimimiimmii] The Class of January, 1917 Fellow Classmates: Captain Kidd’s pirate gold can never be found, unless one could know the key or code with which to locate it. Similarly the golden treasures of life—fame, riches, great place, happiness—can never he attained by us, unless we possess the key to their stronghold. What is this key? Older people tell us it is hard work, directed by a trained mind with a good foundation to build upon. Our parents sent us to Central to build that foundation and to train our minds. We are grateful to them for it; and we thank the faculty also for their assistance to us. For our share we have tried our best. You will remember that our class motto is “To know, to do. to he. As we leave Central let’s not leave the motto. We’ll always strive to know, to do, and to be.

Neither one nor the other had slept a wink! For they were both filled with memories glad Of the jolly good times the A Seniors had In their last term at Central. (I wasn’t there; I simply tell What was told me by the lunchroom bell). The gingham dog went bow-wow-wow!! In the pleasure of recalling how These Seniors came on Hallowe'en night To laugh and dance to their hearts’ delight. And the calico cat mee-owed her assent That this was the pleasantest time they had spent In Central High for many a year. (Now mind. I'm only telling you What the lunchroom hell declares is true!) Then the gingham dog just chuckled with mirth And the calico cat laughed for all she was worth For they thought of Frank Chase in the class play And his one single word, that famous—Hoo-ray! And they recollected with great thankfulness The toil of our coach to secure success For she had worked most diligently, ( How did the dog and the cat come to know? Why the lunchroom bell just told them so!) Then the gingham dog and calico cat Reminded each other as there they sat Of the girls’ Kid Party in the Housekeeping Suite And the wholesome fun that can’t he beat Of the cheese roast on the banks of the creek And of other parties, too did they speak For they all were great successes. (Don’t fancy I exaggerate! The lunchroom bell these facts did state.) Next morning where the two had sat: They found no trace of dog or cat: And some folks think unto this day That burglars stole that pair away! But the truth about that cat and pup. Is this; Grief ate them both all up. (You sec. they missed us graduates so!) (The lunchroom bell, it told me so And that is how I came to know!) Gknevikve I.

Those radiators had a good cause to be happy, for, having welcomed many a lot of Freshmen, they knew good ones when they saw them, and the present class had exceeded even their greatest expectations. Therefore, the old radiators sang and hummed all winter long, sang of things past, sang of things to come, sang from the wisdom of their hearts. Hut when spring came, they sang a different song. It was their Swan-Song. Their Central High School days were over, for with the coming of September, the spirit of Central, leaving its “outgrown shell” (radiators and all), moved with each chick ami child, teachers, too. into a “new temple with a dome more vast. The new temple had radiators, too. and although they were quite as fresh as we were, the spirit of Central warmed them up to their jobs and they sang, as the old radiators had sung songs of good advice. And, heeding the songs of our radiators, we kept our eyes open, and we saw; we kept our ears open, and we heard; we kept our mouths open, and absorbed. And we became very wise indeed, and we did everything, and were everything, that the lowly A freshman is allowed to do or be, and more too, but like all freshmen. we had our trials and tribulations, for greenness makes the fruit attractive. The next year. well, it was the same old story of the man higher up. From a Sophomore’s point of view, nothing much happened during that year. Our books and teachers had told us how to sail upon the so-called “sea of life” when we were underclassmen, but we had yet to test our knowledge of sailing. So, in our B junior year, we built a fine, strong, trig little “ship of state.” and steered by an able, if inexperienced crew, made up of Francis Murray, who was skipper: Dorothy Riche, as first mate; Elizabeth Sullivan, as keeper of the log. and Eugene Howe, who was purser, we started out for a two years’ cruise, flags flying and decks cleared for action. Our teachers kept us well-stocked with coals of knowledge, so with eyes open for snags, we rode safely the dangerous little every-day waves such as lessons, tests, composition and speech days, assemblies and club meetings. We met some mighty big waves in those early days of our cruise. The first big breaker was a Junior party, but with the help of the A Juniors, we rolled easily over it. The next big breaker that we struck was a hayrack ride in an auto truck, but this we rode safely in spite of the bumps. In our A Junior term we had the same crew with the exception that Frank MeGarvey now handled our cash. In our turn we helped the B Juniors to breast their first big wave, a Junior party. We launched our ship of state” in our B Senior term with Mark Severance at the helm, Hester McLean as first mate, Genevieve Ward as keeper of the log, and Frank MeGarvey again as purser. With this able crew, wc tackled and veered through all sorts of waves. )ur small ship was not at all swamped by the big Senior party, which next rose up. 43 Indeed, that wave looked mighty green before we got through with it. (It was really the gym. in its first decorations, dressed up in honor of St. Patrick's day.) We were all seasick the next morning from dancing. After a summer’s shore leave, the A Senior term found us sailing at full speed for that golden gate of a school-days, graduation, under a veteran crew. Mark was again captain, Dorothy, first mate, and Genevieve and Prank were each in their former capacity. We were all seasick the next morning, seasick from dancing. Hallowe’en, the party wave again struck us. That wave was one big yellow streak, not in character but in appearance. Then one night, our little craft sailed up the waves of Minnehaha, and anchoring in a little harbor, we had the jolliest cheese-and-cracker roast that ever happened. After this, all was plain sailing for a time until we struck a mighty wave. It was “Christopher Junior,” our class play and thanks to our coach. Miss McGregor, to the cast, to the crew and to the class, we made our biggest splash of all on the night of December 8. 1916. On the next wave, our class pictures came floating in, and then, waves came so thick and fast that we could hardly get breath between them, and each one tried to upset our ship of state, but we were anchored to Central, and we held fast. And so shall we always be,—anchored to Central, and always will we hold tight, for our ties are too strong to ever be broken by any waves that we may meet in life. And now, we the class of January, 1917, sing our Swan-Song. We, who in Freshman year aimed but to know,” as did the Sophomore, we. who as Sophomores felt a desire “to do as could the Junior, and who when given the power “to do. wished yet again to be” as was the Senior, we are leaving Central High School, inspired with this motto grown from four years of high school life, to know,” to do.” to be. And may the radiators of New Central, sing in future years, among their songs to future Freshmen, a song in memory of the class of January. 17.

As 1 continued to gaze into the hearth fire my thoughts turned to the ninety and nine school mates who had come with me through the four years of labor at Central High and presently I was seized with the idea that I would like to see what positions and stations in life these same ninety and nine would fill ten or twenty years from now. Almost simultaneously a great change began to take place in my surroundings, the dancing flames before me grew fainter and passed out of sight, and 1 found myself in the midst of a great city. A change had also been wrought in my own person, for I was no longer a boy, but a man of perhaps thirty or thirty-five years. Beginning to look about me and to move among the crowds which thronged the streets of the city. I discovered on a large building, a sign which indicated that 1 was in Minneapolis, but how different everything looked! My next impulse was to look into the faces of the passing crowds in an attempt to find someone whom 1 knew. Suddenly from a short distance down the street, there issued a mysterious, but clamorous noise, which grew louder as it approached. People began to draw back a little as if to allow something to pass. Through the opening thus made, a wonderful display of myriad lights met my gaze, and dazzled me for a moment, but as my eyes became adjusted to the splendor of it all, 1 was able to discern the source of this phenomena, which proved to be a marvelous necktie worn by a man whom 1 recognized to be an old classmate of mine, Frank Chase. This distinguished gentleman passed down the street amid cries of overwhelming admiration from the crowd, but 1 was too much awed to speak. Finally, somewhat recovered, 1 turned to a stranger standing near by and ventured to ask Where in the world does he get them? The stranger laughed a little and said, Why don’t you know? He buys them at the most exclusive haberdashery in town, conducted by Cyril Davey. After a few incidental remarks, I again proceeded down the street. Presently 1 catnc to a white fronted building, which appeared to be a quick lunch establishment. Here becoming interested itt two men in the front window who wore white aprons and caps, and were busily Hipping flapjacks. I looked into their faces and discovered that they were Lcil Grey and Clifford Bowman. The piles of golden brown flapjacks made my mouth water, so I entered, took a seat at the long'counter, and after waiting for some time iti vain. I hailed a waitress who was hurrying to and fro. Don’t get excited, she said, you’re next. The voice sounded familiar, and at once I recognized her as Elizabeth Sullivan and when she finally waited on me, she stopped to chat a while. She told me that another of my classmates. Florence Adams, was also acting as a waitress in the same place, and also disclosed the fact that four of the girls of January T7 had elided what might otherwise have been brilliant careers by getting married. These girls were Katherine Kenly, Helen Brown, Doris Mellen and Marie Kennedy. I was unable to find out all the particulars in each case, but it was rumored that Marie Kennedy had run away to Spain and married a Spanish bull fighter. Finishing my flapjacks I stepped out into the street for some much needed air. The next place of interest to which 1 came was a moving picture theater on the front of which were huge, gaudily colored pictures depicting scenes from a most astounding production of modern drama, in which the leading characters 45 were Josephine Mather and Warren Morse. I was determined to see the show and accordingly purchased a ticket from the girl in the box office, whom I recognized to be Margaret Fox. In order not to hurt any one's feelings, I will refrain from comments on the show, but one thing which cannot he passed over, however, was the illustrated weekly. In this, I saw a movie of the first woman president of the United States making a speech before Congress. She was none other than Hester McLean. A view of the newly appointed Judge of the Supreme Court. Abraham Frisch was shown and pictures of Robert Rome, the world-famous scientist and inventor demonstrating the crowning product of his marvelous ingenuity, a wireless, frictionless, powerless, and useless electric motor. On leaving the movies. I turned into a side street and walked aimlessly along for some distance. My attention was attracted by the clattering and rumbling of an immense ice wagon coming out of an alley, the driver of which who was a great strapping fellow, was being jostled and bumped on his elevated seat, and was bellowing maledictions on his unruly horses. The voice sounded so familiar, that 1 took a second look at this titanic ice man, and saw that he was none other than Chandler Murphy. The train of remarkable incidents which I was experiencing had set my mind in a whirl, and so. on arriving at a quiet little park 1 was gratified to find a bench upon which to sit down and collect my thoughts. But, even here I was not destined to be free from the startling events, for hardly had I seated myself when I heard the blood-curdling wail of an infant, and saw coming towards me a pretty nurse girl, pushing a baby carriage: and who should the nurse girl be but Genevieve Ward! After growing tired of sitting in the park. I started out in a different direction but had not gone far when 1 approached a large hospital. The front door opened and Theodore Barber, then a dignified physician, stepped out. Meeting, we stopped for a moment to talk, and Dr. Barber informed me that the head nurse in the hospital was Lela Stephens. Again proceeding down the avenue. I came to a car line upon which a street car. marked Fair Grounds, was approaching, and immediately determining to take in the fair, I stopped long enough to purchase a newspaper, and then boarded the car. The conductor came along promptly, and when 1 paid my fare. I looked up into the face of our class treasurer. Frank McGarvey. Upon turning to see if the motorman could possibly be one of my classmates, there stood Kllesworth Raihle. My next move was to glance toward the card ads. and soon 1 spied an Arrow Collar ad. which lx re the face of a handsome. dashing young man, whose dark hair was neatly parted in the center, and wearing a new creation in collars, the face was unmistakably that of James Geg-gie. Next, turning to my newspaper to scan the headlines. I saw on the first page a photograph of Gladys Ehrlc who, as an accompanying paragraph explained, had been appointed dean of women in a large eastern college. On another page, the following title caught my eye: ‘‘Little Aids for Cupid. conducted by Dorothy Riebe. and here 1 paused to read over the tales of woe of several perplexed lovers, and then turned t the theatrical advertisements. The largest and most important of them all read as follows: Minneapolis Auditorium One Night Only BALLET RUSSE Starring the Famous Dancer. MARKSKV SEVERANSKY. When the car stopped at a certain corner I happened to glance up from my paper, and looking out of the open window. I saw a jitney bus drawn up in front of a garage. The driver of the jitney was in the midst of a heated argument with 46 UTlIlll UllllI llliu El a man who seemed to be the owner of the garage, as to whether a gallon of gasoline was worth a dollar and a half or two dollars. And friends, if the truth is to be told, I must inform you that the jitney driver was Ralph Greiner, while the other man was Royal Jennings. After spending the entire afternoon at the fair grounds I shall relate only a few incidents which may be of special interest to my hearers. In the first place, while wandering through the portion of the grounds devoted to side shows, I was attracted by a tall, slender individual, who was standing on a platform before a tent, and eulogizing over the wonders of a five-legged hippopotamus. Upon moving closer, I discovered that it was our well-known classmate. William Walsh. At another time. I heard the pathetic strains of a wheezy old hand organ coming up the way, and a jolly man, short in stature, came into sight leading a monkey. He played a few airs that were very popular—ten years previous—for which he reaped a few nickels. Alas! how frequently we fall short of our youthful ambitions, for the organ grinder was none other than Anselm Zingg. Immediately after this incident, I approached a stand where a bewhiskered gentleman was selling some kind of a concoction which, he said, was an effectual hair restorer, cough medicine, flavoring extract, shoe polish, and silverware cleaner. The label on the bottles proclaimed the contents to be a preparation called Dr. Martin’s Home Remedy. An enumeration of its several virtues followed, and at the bottom was the signature of Dr. Roland Martin. I glanced up at the speaker, and sure enough, it was our classmate of the same name. Knowing his liking for the subject, 1 felt surprised to find him applying his knowledge of chemistry in such a misleading way. While visiting the auto races in the afternoon. 1 witnessed a record-breaking contest in which the driver of the winning car was Llewellyn Thomas. It seems that he had taken to auto racing shortly after leaving high school, not being content with the speed which lie attained there in his 100-yard dashes. The last incident in my eventful day was that of attending one of the large theaters where grand opera was being sung. I do not recall the name of the opera, except that it was something in Italian which rhymed with spaghetti. In the middle of the performance, when Dorothea Grosskopf and Dorothy Scribner had just finished a beautiful duet, the hero, whose part was sung by Douglas Johnston, rushed onto the stage, made a few passionate gestures, and opened his mouth to sing. A voluminous noise burst upon my ears, and I awoke to find the whistles blowing, and the hells ringing out the old year. I have often wished that I might ascertain the fate of the rest of my classmates. and have sat before the same fireplace, night after night, hut no vision did I ever see again, such as that which I saw on New Year's eve. 47 HP -'- [ f 1 CmfmmimnTiTiTii rTTTTTTTTTTTTTTmm''lerZ riTTTTTTTTTTT in.rm iriiiri� n-mmri f WSJ] n Sr mraramranmnr] uniiiimuiiimD I £ omnium Christopher, Jr. AFTER several classical productions “Christopher, Jr.,” a modern play, was hailed as a novelty. It was a worth-while play, excellently given and ranking far above the average class play. Genevieve Ward portrayed the serious minded Dora skillfully and brought out charmingly this winning character. The presentation of the frivolous young hero, who tries to impress his father with his wretched (?) condition by moving into an attic, lost nothing through the interpretation of William Walsh. His naturalness added greatly to the success of the production. Josephine Mather, the delightful sister of Chris, was simply herself, vivacious yet unaffected. Is it any wonder that Frank McGarvey, as the staunch friend of Chris, should fall victim to the charms of Nellie? Warren Morse, cast as the gallant Major, was one of the most interesting characters of the play. He handled his difficult part with unusual skill and versatility. Ralph Greiner and Lela Stevens, the Jedburys, through their communication bv means of Theodore Barber, the family servant, supply a large part of the lighter comedy. Douglas Johnston also “buttles” but for their luckless son. Dorothy Riebe, the loquacious Mrs. Glibb, very innocently entangles Chris in his own falsehoods. Frank Chase individually supplies the greatest part of the humor of the play and affords the sharpest contrast to his talkative “better half.” Royal Jennings, the arch-villain, Simpson, as the unworthy employee of Jedbury, Sr., affords an opportunity for the hero to prove his worth. The class expresses its appreciation to Miss McGregor, the director; to Anselm Zingg. the business manager; to Elmer Tank-erslev, as stage manager; Edwin Fulton, his assistant, and to Ellsworth Raihle. the electrician. 48 I ’XI 7,A B ET11 Sf I.I.IVA X. 49 TIIIC FRESH MEN umiihmnn Class of June, 1917 Dfar Fellow Classmates: WE, the first class to have completed four years in the new Central High School, are alxmt to sever the bonds that hind us to our school. Four years have elapsed since we as Freshmen entered on our high school career. Green we were ’tis true, but we were not the only things about the building that were fresh. All the surroundings, all the equipment, even some of the faculty were new. Under this environment of freshness and air of progressiveness we have labored for the prescribed length of time; some diligently; others not. Now, as a class representative of new Central, we go forth to new fields of labor, By our successes, by our attainments, shall he judged the standard of efficiency of the new school. Keeping this idea uppermost in our minds, let us endeavor to show to all the advantages gained by having had the benefits of superior equipment. Let us strive to accomplish our highest ambitions, and remember that “All things are j'ossible to him who will.” Sincerely, your President, Mario Fischer. so 17 Treasurer’s Report THE Class of June, 1917, has had a very successful financial year.

For such was not the case. Et has been ’tis prooven. To let ya in on what I'm talkin’ about, I'll remind ya ’at on a rainy, cloudy day. set down in the dairy of Father time (may that gentleman keep a dairy ), as Tuesday. September 13, 1913, an little multitude of ants. In-known as Freshmen, entered the ol’ factory, called Central High School. This little multitude were destituted t‘ be the first class what has spent its four years of trainin' an’ teamin' at the new buildin’ of a school, long established, called, as above saved, the Central High School. The little multitude entered as simple little ants, but believe me. when 1 tell ya. ’at they has dcvelopt in four years into mighty powerful beins what can take their stand any place on the earth, an’ hold et weth very little troubel. Xatehaly, at first, th’ members of the class wasn't all acquaintet weth each one another Some knowed some, an’ others knowed others, but since the Freshmen is all in the same class resitashuns, they soon got t' know each one another like ol’ frens. Here a crush would spring up jas't’ be knocked down by another, an’ many ferm frenships was set sail on the ocean of high school life, ef you’ll pardon that Chaucersonion expreshun. The class from the beginnen showed an heap of indapendans an' et has alius kep et. Ft is frcnly, indeed, but et is also indapendant. Ev’ry member of th’ class remembers well how the first big meetin' of the class was. Ev’rybody gathered t’gethcr after school in the music room, an' Mr. Greer says: “Now, I wants all you people t’ stand fcrmly weth one another as a class, an’ so ya wants t’ eleck yure officers in a business-like manner, weth this in vure mines. So they was lots o talkin' an’ then finely Mario Fischer was made president; Clara Cross, vice-president: Edith Sondergaard, secretary, an' Vernon Williams, traysuer. Then cv’rvone begins t’ know the other peoples better, an’ then the Junior Frolic come off. An’ believe me. when 1 tell ya at that Frolic was somethin’ t remember. Then the nex cleckshuns had the followin’ outcome: Harold Warmington. president: Frances Foley, vice-president (vice in that case don’t signifie nothin’ bad): Margaret Xicoll. secutary, an’ Douglas Head, traysuer. Then, a corse, they was lots of parties, an' hikes, an' sometimes they hoke quite a-ways. An’ then summer comes. 96 K S HIiSgniiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiriiniiiiiiniiiiiTj irniTTTTTmiimTmmmniii zL J H This las fall, when the class all returns as Seniors, et was prepared t’ take charge of everythin’ what a Senior class shud do.

Thinking to take a morning walk, 1 chanced into the heart of the business section. Strolling leisurely along. I “met up” with my nearly-forgotten friend, llilding Anderson. He is now in business and gave me his firm card: “Pickering Anderson. Dealers in Scrap Iron - their youthful ideals realized. September 7, 1937. Walking briskly along today, a big crowd attracted my attention. Going nearer, I found that the police were hustling off a young man who created a disturbance by a very forceful delivery of a socialistic lecture. A man in the crowd claimed that the orator’s name was Max Woolpy—not improbable. September 14. 1937. Stepped into a jitney bus today. Was startled to find that the driver was a woman, a former classmate of mine. Harriet Webb by name. Was thankful to get down town alive. September 22. 1937. ()f all remarkable things—Lillian Hansen has written a book on “How to Talk Twenty-six Hours a Day.” 1 shouldn’t think she knew enough about it. September 26. 1937. I lunched today with Mr. Robert Ahern, president of the Foreign Missionary Society. He asked me to his home to meet his wife, but I couldn’t go. Very sorry for I hear she is a girl whom I formerly knew. Wonder which one? October 3. 1°37. The morning mail brought me a little pamphlet advertising “Dr. Frances holey’s Six-Foot Shelf of Books. Read them in your spare time and educate yourself. Rates reasonable.” Probably learn something from them, too. October 8. 1937. “Somebody is always taking th’ joy out of life.’’ and it's usually people with hobbies Arthur Motley's latest: He demands a large donation for his school for the Deaf and Dumb. Guess he felt so sorry for them on account of not being able to talk—and he enjoys talking so. that he just had to do something for them. What I can't see is, how he can stand having no one to listen to him—poor fellow, I deeply sympathize. October 13, 1937. Read in the social news that the former Agnes ( lark gave a paper at the Bank Literary Club on “Tennyson. She always did admire him. October 20. 1937. ()rdered some candy at the Marie Belle Confectionery. Marian Bjorhus, Margaret Carleton and Lois Dick are running it now. Wonder how they have enough to sell. 98 October 28, 1937. Ran across this among other book reviews: “Walter Davis, West hotel bellhop, writes novel entitled ‘The Fickleness of Woman.' The author has chosen a subject with which he is evidently familiar, as most of the material seems to be drawn from personal experience. This is the author’s first book, and, we trust, his last. We would advise him to stick to bell-hopping.” I reckon this was one time Walt knew what he was talking about—but he used to jump around a bit himself. Maybe that’s why lie’s a bell-hop now. November 1, 1937. Well, of all the peculiar performances! Peachy Cross is running a Gossip Exchange. Guess I’ll drop in some day. It’ll remind me of old times. November 3, 1937. Just heard that Mulet Smith is editing the “Scandal Monger. ’ Rumor has it that the “Scandal Monger” and the “Gossip Exchange” are about to be affiliated. If this is done. Brad Field, the furnace man, will resign. November 12, 1937. The suffragists are in hot water again. Their leader, the Right Honorable Miss Edith Sondergaard, was arrested for attempting to asphyxiate Thomas Stoval, our leading white-goods manufacturer, with an onion. Heard that the onion belonged to the wealthy Marian McC’anna. Can’t sec why Marian didn’t use the onion herself. November IS. 1937. There's a revolution down in Panama. Blaine McCutchan is leading the insurgents with great gusto and much language. The government orders that he be shot on sight. Moral: Don’t take Spanish. November 20, 1937. Saw such a sad. sad sight today. Was down in the freight yards when a ea tlc car from Anoka pulled in. A villainous looking hol o climbed out. Who should it l e but Waldo Marcck. Waldo Mareck a dead-beat! ’Tis very, very tragic! November 27, 1937. Helped small daughter. Xenobia, with her Latin this evening. Her grammar is written by Emily Longfellow. Never saw such a complete treatment of ablatives in my life. There are several new ones since the days in 401. December 5, 1937. The wife and I went to see Alice Johnston in Where Is My Husband?” She was the villainous vampire, a true Theda Bara part, and played it well. Style show was letter than usual. Recognized several of the habitues of the front hall, among whom were Edith Miller, with her hair “done remarkable,” Virginia Restor, in street costume and showing the latest in spats; Dorothy Leavitt, a summer girl, with a charming peek-a-boo parasol, and Graham McGuire making much noise with his classy tie. shirt, socks and hat. December 30. 1937. The wife advertised for a new maid. Gladys Dobbs applied today. The class play must have turned her head. 90 H 0 January 3, 1938. Took the wife out to the Sophia Skinner Home for Superannuated Spinsters. Mildred Jordan is now superintendent. Times have changed, ’deed they lias. Abigail Jones spoke to the i oor things on “Lillies and How They Grow. January 11, 1938. Went to see Kenneth Kerr in the Follies of 1937.“ Some chorus that! Almost envied Kenny. January 14. 1938. Hczckinh, my eldest, desires a puppy for his birthday; so we went out to Margaret Xicoll’s dog kennels to get one. Curs are her specialty. January 18. 1938. Took the kids to the movies today. Quite a pretty little play called “The Rich Little Poor Girl.” Marguerite Clark II starred. Wasn’t much astonished to find that M. C. II. is Margaret Kenneally. January 27. 1938. Went slumming today. Visited Virginia Orton’s Store for Second-hand Instruments. She will seli a very dusty twelve dollar zyther for six. Wonder what' the matter with it. January 30, 1938. Speaking of sad things. Ada Whipps died of lockjaw. Would never have thought such a fate possible in the days of yore. Must send some (lowers. Guess I’ll get them at Dorothy Burmaster’s Florist Shop. February 4. 1938. Had my hair cut at Mabel Brother’s “Best Barber Shop on Lake.” Twas a rash deed. Haven’t more than two hairs left. February 11, 1938. I [card from 1 larry Wallace. I le’s farming down in Kansas. Quite a chicken fancier, he tells me. Knew that long ago. February 19. 1938. Cnusually good bill at Pantage’s: Vcia Dan Cebella and Hcrpartna Swell, alias Lavinia Strange and Harold Smith. Catherine Ilvoslef. now Katinka Da-quita played her guitar. The noted singer. Ofoha Key, Reuben Law. executed several bass solos. (He surely did murder them.) Frances Berger, known as Agilla Morso. did some clever acrobatic stunts. February 23, 1938. Went by the Sign of the Three Balls today. The proprietor, in his shirt sleeves, was leaning against the door. Quite a disreputable looking rake. As I went past. I saw that it was Glen Sawyer. My how he has changed! There was a poor old man on the corner selling chestnuts. I felt very sorry for him, so went up to buy a hag of nuts. When he turned around I saw he was not as old as his bent back and lame walk had led me to suppose. In fact, he was none other than Doug. Head. I (XI ’iimirriiiiiTmTiiiiiiiiiniiiiminlCHJyJyl March 3, 1938. Man outside this morning laying sewer pipes. Most j eculiar method of handling his pick, more like a tennis racket. Went out to see who it was. It was Tom Clark Xo wonder he handles a pick like a tennis racket, but why wasn’t he playing tennis? I asked him, hut he stared at me wildly, and said. “Thirty love.” So woman wrought his ruin! March 6, 1938. Decided to have a real car. Had a Ford sent up. Cecil Branham was showing it. That settled it, I'll get a Buick. March 19, 1938. Wife is dyeing the parlor curtains red. She’s using McHalc's Carrot Dyes. They ought to be good. March 24, 1938. (lot an ad., or rather the wife did, from Louise Starkweather’s “Beauty Shop, manicuring a specialty. March 31. 1938. Dropped into court today just as Ransom Bliven was brought up for Mining. What are we coming to? April 8. 1938. The report is that Deborah Douglas, who forsook love in a little white cottage to go on the stage, is al)OUt to retire and will either found an orphan's home or enter a convent. H—m—m—m. April 12. 1938. The ship I’Into, commanded by Captain Rowland Thomas, struck an iceberg and went down in the South seas. Xo lives are known to be lost. April 21. 1938. It seems hard to believe! Walking peacefully along I ran into Mario Fischer. Whew! how he has changed! He is now a bald-headed, fat. old, full-faced bachelor. and at present is on the road selling some freakish patent medicine compounded by the manufacturing chemist, Clifford Mycr. The attempt to put out our 1917 annual has left the poor fellow a triMe off and he has a hollow, simple laugh. April 24. 1938. Had a lovely letter from the Rev. Raymond Gunn, I). D. Among other things, he said that Rowland Dyer was winning remarkable success as an English detective, owing to his naturally taciturn propensities. Dyer and Jean hitch have established a thriving detective agency. If being taciturn makes good detectives, how in thunder did Jean ever succeed? April 29. 1038. James Thompson, Ambassador to Liberia, spoke at the Auditorium last night. His subject. “The Xeed of Systematic Dispensation of Woolen Mittens Among the Xativc Orphans of Heroic Chiefs of Liberia, was. as most topics of its kind, highly uninteresting. Ever since he was given the cold shoulder bv a “certain young lady, also a former classmate of mine. James has been able to think of nothing but “mitten, which probably accounts for the choice of his subject. i tot 17 TTrnrnTTnTirrnTTnnTinniiiiiim H May 6, 1938. Fernald Painter struck me for a loan today, poor fellow. He’s having an inventor’s hard luck. Some sort of a scheme for mining the coal supply at the North Pole by warming the climate with his new electrical appliance. May 14. 1938. What next? Lloyd Mitchell is running a matrimonial bureau! If that isn't the worst! May 18, 1938. Harold Pricker is singing at the Gayety this week. What between his voice and his facial expressions, it's a question where he'd be the more bearable, in the movies, where he couldn’t be heard, or in a Victrola record, where he couldn’t be seen. June 7, 1938. Took the whole family to the Maxwell Bros.’ Three King Circus. Some show, that! Heard a loud noise. There was Henry Bank. Bally-hoo Bill now. One of the best stunts was a display of cats trained by Felina Pussy, known in days of yore as Marjorie Carlsrud, then Fen. C. Kail, once bay Keith, appeared as the thinnest man in the world. 1 was really shocked, lie’s but a sliver of his former self. June 15, 1938. There is something in this spiritualistic communication business. The wife is quite daft over some medium and dragged me to meet her the other night. Communed with Vernie Williams—poor chap, he’s down in 1 lades, doomed to write editorials until he’s used up all the ink in the Kiver Styx. Editors' Note.—The editors assume no responsibility for the veracity of the statements of the author of this diary. Reliable physicians have prescribed for him the climate of St. Peter, where he is at present. 102 “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry” MEN the curtain was drawn open upon Leroy Arnold’s play. Hurry. Hurry, Hurry,’ on the evening of March 2l , a very cosy and homev interior was discovered. And there, sitting at a table busily writing notes amid a sea of Christinas packages was Marion McCanna, all dressed up like a real lady, or as the honorable Mrs. Hooker. And after a moment’s pause, little Miss Rita, the maid, or Gladys Dobbs—as saucy and pert and pretty as ever—came tripping along. But it was not until Mr. Hooker, a rushed and worried business man. alias Robert Ahern, appeared, that the story began to move. Both Marian and Bob showed splendid talent in their acting, for their roles, though they were difficult, were played exceptionally well. Presently there was a flutter and a glitter, and the audience blinked—stunned and dazzled—for pretty Miss Floy: who? oh. “Deb” Douglas—had made her lirst entrance Deb certainly carried out her part of the story with all the dash and vim possible and, as leading lady, deserves much praise. Following her came the sporty and dashing young brother, Steve, who was acted by Arthur Motley. This classy college lad did much toward making true the saying, “And they lived happily ever after,” for he was devoted to his pretty sister. Jack Crandall, a splendidly strong and thoughtful character, now made his appearance. Harold Bricker very decidedly was the man for the game, and he made the character lire. understanding the situations perfectly. Things were progressing nicely now when suddenly everyone jumped, for a shrill scream was heard from without and soon Ted Stone, the big. fat football hero—Rav Gunn—carrying a languishing and gushing burden, called Letitia Brown or Harriet Webb—appeared. These two characters furnished much of the “scream for Letitia, in her languishing way, gushed forth in ecstacy at every opportunity, while Ted caused much amusement because of his intense bashfulness and awkwardness among the society friends. Ray Gunn deserves special praise for his clever acting and by-plav. The situation was understood by all at this time. Floy must be engaged bv midnight: Floy and Jack were both too proud to show their love and everyone had almost given up hopes when along came the Professor—Alsosius Bartholomew—the funniest of funnies, or Vernon Williams in real life. Words cannot describe the mirth called forth by his clever acting, for Vernon made use. full strength, of the funny side of his nature. Of course, everything came out all right at the end, for Floy and Jack made up and, no doubt, lived happily ever after. The entire cast certainly deserves much praise, but no one forgets that back of the cast was Miss Williams, upon whose shoulders rests the blame of the whole big success, for the production was the result of untiring and endless efforts on her part. The staff, which tended to the business, consisted of Cecil McHale, Foster Hensel. Edith Sondergaard. Waldo Mareck. Edwin Fulton and Eugene Benton. 103 Dear I lassmates: HAVING successfully completed the first three years of our high school careers, we have now entered upon the fourth and last, with the thought uppermost in each of our minds, that we must strive with increased energy and enthusiasm to create a record for ourselves and the school, which will l e a worthy example for the classes which are to follow. We are well represented in all phases of the school's activities and it only remains now for us to show, by a continued interest and participation in them, that we are able to maintain and even surpass the high standards which we have set for ourselves in the preceding years of our high school training. It being only a short time before we must leave Central and its beloved associations, it behooves each of us to put into this last year our best efforts, that we may thereby receive, in full measure, its benefits. hether we intend continuing our school life or entering at once the more serious business world, there are possibilities in the next twelve months which, it taken advantage of. should l� c immeasurably valuable to each of us in later life. Let us look upon this last period of our high school caret r as the one in which we shall fullv receive and appreciate the fruits Of enjoyment to which our past labors have been leading. v our I resident. Sidney I.am.ky. 104 Dear Classmates: THE publication of the 1917 Centraman will mark the end of the third year of our existence as High School students— three years of the happiest days of our lives. During our Freshman and Sophomore years we gathered together knowledge with which to meet the problems of our Junior year. So, at the close of our Junior year, we prepare to meet the biggest and best year of our High School life. During our first three years at Central we have been well represented in all the lines of student activities. Thus, being urged on by our successes of the past, we will enter our Senior year working and striving toward those high ideals which the former classes of Central have so successfully upheld. Your President, Walden Balcom. 105 IS mimnimirnnimiiiiirmiiiririi' 17 arainn 0 Fellow Classmates: t’R powers as an organized class are as yet untried but as freshmen and sophomores we were well represented in athletic, literary and social activities. We are a good representative class with all our members active and loyal to the class and school. The committees which were appointed have worked hard and faithfully and have accomplished results which are worthy of the highest commendation. We look forward to these last years with the greatest pleasure, and in view of past achievements bid fair to establish a name which will serve as an inspiration to the succeeding classes of Central High School.

BY CAPT. LLOYD MITCHELL ENTRAL started its 1916 Football season by beating the much touted Fast Champs 6 to 0. This defeat cost the Fast team the City Championship. This was undoubtedly Central’s best game of the season, although the West game was a thriller. The work of Hozendahl. Ballcntine, and Thomas stood out prominently in this game. Then the faculty managers got together and decided that Hozendahl was too g xxl a man for Central and barred him. After the managers had done their worst, the Hon. l)r. Keene, after much study and deliberation, gave East the game which Central had fairly won. and which Fast had not even protested. The crippled team went into the South game and were beaten 7 to 0. Anderson, Frlitig. Baird, and (iritlis played the best games for Central. The West game was another good one; although Central lost 7 to 6. Bickering, playing center for the first time, played a steady game, as did Kielland and Spaulding. Ballentine ran the team at quarter and played his plays in fine style. He made the touchdown for Central, after a long run. After the West game. Central became over-confident and let North hold them to a 7 to 7 tie. Gunn and Clarity played steady games in the line. The Athletic board voted letter to the following men: Ballentine. Baird. Frling, Clarity, Bozendahl, Anderson, Thomas. Chinn, McCord, Mitchell. Minton Griffis. Kielland, Soule, Spaulding, Bickering, and Smith. Manager’s letter was voted to George McDuffy for his go xl work. Brospects would have been good for a successful season next year, with Captain Ballentine to pilot the team, but now, that the claims of war and our patriotic duties have asserted themselves, no prophecy as to the coming football season, if indeed there be a football season this fall, can be made. 109 110 3 2SS immi||1||||M||irrnnniniiTnirnmn Review of Hockey Season of 1917 By Coacii Albert 1). Allen STARTING • with the handicap of having no letter men as a nucleus for a team, the past hockey season witnessed a hunch of unexperienced men develop into a fast, fighting team. Unstinted praise is due the men for their hard work and remarkable morale, which made them the worthy opponents of the best teams in the hockey league. Central defeated South in the opening game, 3 to 1. The Central seven played ragged in this match, but its superior speed was apparent anti encouraging. In the next two games the veterans of North and the Recves-Moshcr combination of East gave us the small ends of the respective scores, 2 to 0, and 4 to 2. The team reached its zenith in the first match with West. There is no doubt this was the finest high school game of the season, and as beautiful a match as one could wish to see. Central’s stick wielders more than evenly matched West in speed, driving power, endurance, and team work, and were only deprived of victory by their inability to shoot. The score was 2-2. Had the team played the same sort of game the following week against North the tables might have been turned, but there was a very noticeable let down in morale, due no doubt in some degree, to overtraining. In a hard-fought game, Central Ixnved to defeat, 3-1. In the last three games the team again hit its stride. South was overwhelmed to the tune of 8-2. East could not keep pace with the Central puck chasers and went down to defeat, 5-4. The second game with West was as fast and furious as the first. The high standard of team work, however, was not maintained consistently through every period. In this match. Central’s forwards excelled in shooting, but although they kept West’s goal under a heavy and continuous bombardment, they were not able to cage one. In an extra period, in an unguarded moment. West slipped one through Central’s defense and the season was over.

The students showed a great spirit, while the track men fought relentlessly all the season. As a result of this, they cleaned up everything with the exception of one meet, which was a dual affair. The indoor work opened March 4, when a dual meet took place, which Central won from Fast High. Then followed Central’s one and only defeat, the annual Central-West fracas. The result was a 60-to-44 score, and although it was a bitter loss, the men really profited by it. for they learned the lesson that they must fight until every event has been run. The week following the West clash, Central took on the St. Paul school of the same name and returned a victor to the tune of 80 to 24. Next, Central secured one of her five championships of the season. This was the city indoor title, which was won March 24. at the Kenwood Armory. The schools scored in the following order: Central. 49: West. 29; North, 21. The indoor season was ended with the winning of the Twin City title at the St. Thomas Armory, April 7. Central took eight of the twelve firsts, with Lew Thomas starring for the Red and Blue. The final standing was: Minneapolis Central. 44 ; Minneapolis West, 21; Minneapolis East. 16; St. Paul Central, 12; Minneapolis North, 9. The first meet outdoors was held at Hamline. May 15. The conditions were deplorable, as it had rained continually and the track was a sea of mud. Central carried the meet with 55 points, and by doing so, she captured the State Track and All-around Championships. Pinal score: Minneapolis Central. 55; North, 43; St. Paul Central. 43; West. 23. May 20. at Northrop Field, the big outdoor city affair was held. The meet was an interesting one, as five new records for the city were established. The big attraction of the day was the relay race, which was won by Central. The meet went to Central with a total of 58 points. In the Northwestern Interscholastic contest, held at Northrop Field, Central led all the high schools in her class, being beaten only by Oregon High and Shat-tuck The outstanding feature of the meet was the new world’s interscholastic record of 12 feet 8 inches in the pole vault, made by lenders of Oregon High School. The big season closed with the Northfield meet. Of the 1,500 students representing the various schools, Central had a delegation of at least 500. Forty-three points took the meet for Central. West came second, with St. Paul Central, North, East, Mechanic Arts, Humbolt and South, following in the order named. Four new marks were set up. The consistent point winners, both indoors and outdoors, were Captain I oren Dawson. Bob Ahern. John Holt, Orville Brown, Lew Thomas. Walden Balcom and Dan Field. 113 114 | Hg mmn, nlin1u1.inini.iu.iiTiniDf 1916 Baseball By Coach Guy C.

Omit that nightmare of a game and you will see records. In the seven games Harold allowed 6 runs. 23 hits, struck out 115. and gave but 2 bases on balls. Central’s critics called her a “one-man team. a “Johnson team. Let us see: The outfield was composed of Captain Darling, Pat Nestor and Pull Davis. Darling carried off the city batting honors with an average of .558. He made 19 hits, 6 two baggers, 1 triple and 1 home run; a total of 30 bases out of 38 times at bat. Pat batted .440 for second honors. The best quality about these two lads was that they hit when hits were needed. Each got 6 hits apiece in the two West games. W est made but 7 bits in the two games, and 1 whole run. Bill Davis, the remaining fielder, hit .357. Bill’s fight, pep. and pinch hitting, were features on a brilliant team. I larold Milbrath was the best catcher Central ever had. Ralph Davis was very dependable at all times and made many brilliant plays at the initial bag. Harry Milbrath. at second, could cover more ground than any other two infielders in high school ball. Don Beard played short in good style, was the best run scorer for Central, and was wide awak and knew the game. Jimmy Ryan was probably one of the best fielding third basemen, but Jim’s batting eye needed more rubbing than our trainer could supply. Chet Kiebe. the substitute infielder, played any position that he was called upon to fill in as good style as the regular. He is the only man back this year and should prove a valuable asset to a green team. Central’s 1916 team was so good that if 1 were called upon to name an “All-Citv Team. I would name the Central team, man for man. with possibly one exception. Its CHS 17 Review of Cross Country Season By Cart. Bradford I'jkld ROSS country prospects looked fairly bright for Central when, at the first call immediately after school had started in September, abort thirty men turned out. Coach Warrick set to work at once to whip them into shape, giving them two strenuous workouts a week. Sometimes it was a five-mile hare and hound chase through the country, while again it was hut a mile or so jog nearer school. After two months of this sort of training the fifteen men who had been doing the best work during the season were selected to compete in the annual dual meet with West, and an additional triangular meet with l ast and West. Frequent rumors had been floating over from West, and from what was heard wc knew the boys would have to fight mighty hard to beat them. This was made additionally true when Mcrril Unity, the man who had been running first all season, was declared ineligible. On October twenty-seventh the two picked teams from West and Central gathered together at I ake of the Isles and the meet was ruji off over a three and a half mile course. West came out ahead but by so small a margin that we could still look forward to winning the triangular meet the next week. However, in this too. the West team came through undefeated, with fourteen points advantage over Central. In both runs the boys had worked well and they deserved credit rather than otherwise for the fight they put up against the well balanced West team. Coach Warrick is not at all discouraged with his cross country results and since practically all the regulars remain in school, he can look forward to a general clean-up next year. 116 mniinnTnirmmmim nf rnmnnimnniirrm 1916 Tennis By Tiiomas Clark JN THE spring tournament, from 40 aspirants for the team, Johnson, Clark, Painter and Swenson won out for places on the team. To these men, not one a veteran from last season, fell the task of upholding Central’s merited tennis reputation. A fine start was made when Blake was invaded, but West, after a tough fight, managed to emerge with Central’s scalp. Blake also won a return match. A vacancy was made when Painter left school and Skogsbergh filled his place. In the N. W. Interscholastic meet the red and blue drew only third place. For 1917 Johnson and Clark will he hack, upon whom to build a new, and according to all predictions, a winning team. 117 Hash Oh mystic mixture, dog and cat, Oh fried potato and all that.

These ideals are expressed in the purpose which is “to develop the highest standard of womanhood, to promote a spirit of co-operation and fellowship, and to encourage education along lines of social betterment and service.” In addition to the usual activities of the club, this year has seen the inauguration of the Big Sister movement. This is an organized department of “co-operation and “fellowship,” which lends a hand to any girl in need of help, advice, inspiration or encouragement. The events of the great war have also pushed the Girls’ Club out of its former limitations, and we have added old world burdens to our responsibilities. We have adopted a little French girl as our special charge and are helping other war-stricken children. We are sure that every member feels that one of the finest things in the life of the Juniors and Seniors of Central High is the privilege of belonging to its Girls’ Club. 119 Lois Dick. The Central High Boys' Club TRUE purpose and good intentions have at all times be- longed to the Boys’ Club. But intending and doing arc sometimes more or less difficult to connect with each other. Such seems to have been the case of the Boys’ Club. Despite the fact that our organization has a solid gold purpose, the carrying out of that purpose seems to be waning. The fellows have not entered into the spirit of the club and endeavored to carry out the purpose as each one of them should have. Propositions of all kinds have been set forth. The club has passed on them and agreed that they would carry them through. Committees were appointed and— there the matter ended as far as the club was concerned. But two projects have been accomplished they are the Big Brother idea and the second hand book salesroom. Both have been of exceeding value, the one to the freshman, the other to the school as a whole. It is such activities as these that make a successful school. Now war has made its demands and our instinctive love of country calls in some of us. Some of our members have brothers who are filling up the ranks of the army and navy. Some are taking it upon themselves to step into the ranks and do their own small bit. Others have seen fit to leave their high school career and go till the soil in order that they might be producers and in this way help along the cause for which their country has plunged itself into this great war. Still others arc drilling daily in order that they may be fit to serve when the time comes that their country shall call upon them to do their share as loyal citizens. The conditions existing in the army and navy are at best not conducive to good morality or high standards of thought and living. It is under such conditions as these that the true metal of a man is tested, that his character is put through the third degree to see if it can stand up. Here is where we must endeavor to stand for the right things even in the face of ridicule and where we must stand for those principles embodied in our club constitution. Robert Aiif.rn. 121 0 2 M Technical Club THE Central High Technical Club is one of Central’s oldest and best clubs- Its puq ose is to give its members as wide a knowledge of popular technical subjects and sciences as possible. The benefits of the club are gained, for the most part, on its bi-weekly trips to factories of this and other cities. Lectures also are important. The man that has a fair conception of the way in which different varieties of the industries are carried on, has an enormous advantage in the business world of today. He can talk reasonably and sympathetically to his neighbor, no matter what his vocation may be. This alone may make one a success, for understanding the other fellow and his work is what gives the broad view of humanity. Aside from the practical value, there is always a great satisfaction in knowing how and where an article s made. In one thousand or more boys there are always a large number who are specially interested in finding out how and where.” It is sincerely hoped that this prosperous club may 1 ng continue to serve this group of fellows.

During the past year much has been accomplished along this line. Two one-act plays, “The Fatal Message” and “Mill Jepsen’s W ife” were staged in the auditorium last fall and were followed by a dance, and during the spring term “The Green Coat” was very successfully played in the assembly. At the time of writing something else in the form of a play is promised for the future. The meetings have been most successful; several noted readers and actors having been procured. The aim has also been to use club talent, and members themselves have read and discussed the plays of Synge, Tchekhov, Dunsanv, and the Washington Square Plays at the meetings. All material given, though of a wide variety ranging from lessons on make-up to English diction, has been planned to further the purpose of the club. “The Players” have as coaches this year Mr. Dickenson and Miss Morris whose untiring efforts have done much toward promoting the work. 123 Edith Sondercaard. The News Staff nnmnTTnrTTimnm H SB I Central High News TT IS but to be expected that the standard of a young paper, two years old. should rise cjuite evidently during its third year of growth. The editors of the Central High News know that they have given their best to the paper and feel that the publication of the third volume has been decidedly successful. The paper lias been entirely in the hands and judgment of the staff, with little voluntary criticism from the faculty. The acme of journalism has, of course, not been reached, but most certainly, acme has had to do bounteous perspiring to keep ahead of the staff. All memlKTs of the staff have been made to feel that the paper in its entirety was theirs. The reporters, who will have the well-weighted honor and duty of publishing the News next year, have seen every side and angle of the work of publication. This was not granted in former years. Each has seen the paper from the pasting up of the dummy to Friday morning scansion of the fourth page. This year's News has breathed forth the spirit of the Central High School in every phase. The feeling of freedom in expression has been urged, and the truth has been given, with no thought of personal feelings. Probably the jiopularity of the News is best shown by its circulation. The subscriptions have really doubled those of other years, and with that the receipts of the Friday morning sales have not altered. This shows that the staff, in trying, has given the school a paper that it has liked.

H. S. Orchestra VTO organization has had a more successful year than the Central High Orchestra. The last half especially has been of the greatest benefit to the members, and therefore to the school. The first period, four times a week, was given to intensive practice under the able direction of Mr. Pehoushck. At times the ( ilee Club and ()rchestra worked together, with mutual benefit. That the Orchestra is a valuable part of the school is readily seen from the number of engagements it has filled. Music was furnished for four regular assemblies, one patriotic and one complete concert program, both January and June class plays, as well as for both the graduations; the “Messiah ; two performances each of “The Mikado and of “The 'I'wo Vagabonds. Xot only the school, but the community has been served. The Orchestra helped open the Minneapolis School of Arts, played incidental music for a play at the Minneapolis School of Music, enlivened both the reception to the School Hoard at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. and that to Central High District at Minneapolis School of Arts, aided the production of the Private Secretary. assisted at one meeting of the Minneapolis Grade Teachers’ Association ,and one of the Parents and Teachers’ Association.

Orsbornc 127 Glee Club THE past year has been the most successful that the Central High Glee Club has had since its organization. The Club has given two operas, “The Mikado,” and “The Two Vagabonds.” Handel’s Messiah was presented December 20, 1916, by the Glee Club and a chorus of three hundred and fifty picked voices, assisted by the Central High Orchestra. In addition the Club has sung on many different occasions. December 17, 1916, a program composed of selections from the Messiah was given at the Park Avenue Congregational Church, and on February 21, several selections were given at the Art Institute reception. These, together with numerous other events and assembly programs, have kept the Club busy. Financially, the Club has had a good year. Part of the proceeds from the “Mikado was given to the Serbian Relief Fund and the remainder going to buy the piano in the Auditorium. I he (. lub owes a great deal to Sidney H. Morse, the director, who has worked unceasingly to make the year a successful one. Ormal L. Mili.kr. 128 NPHS—............................. M mimnrrrnoTrniiJiiiir ' G. A. A. TH F (I. A. A., with the aid of Miss Spore and Miss Oltman, has enjoyed a very profitable year. Tournaments, consisting of tennis, volley ball, and baseball have been held and have been well attended; likewise the girls’ track meet, held the second week in February. The various clubs have been well attended this past year. 'The walking clubs have been unusually large and successful under the leadership of the various members of the faculty. The swimming and skating clubs have also been thriving. An assembly was given in January which was in charge of the G. A. A. and the B. A. A. One of the largest events this year was a stunt party given by the walking clubs of the G. A. A. The G. A. A. is now planning to aid in the co-operative work of Student Council.

'This organization is the only one that exists here at the present time, to which any hoy may belong, regardless of his personal qualifications. 'The association, as the name implies, is one that governs the athletic interests and activities of the school. Membership in the club means a voice in the governing of these interests. Since a body of three hundred hoys would he too unwieldy an organization to take up among themselves each problem as it presents itself, a Board of Control is elected by the club members to act upon all questions. This hoard has under its control such matters as the awarding of all letters, monograms and other insignia. The President and other officers of the B. A. A. serve in their same capacity on the Board of Control. One representative from each of the classes, appointed by vote; the captain of each of the major-sport athletic teams; the athletic director of the school; the faculty manager, and Mr. Greer constitute the rest of the board.

Again, we members are reviewing our year's work, endeavoring to ascer lain how much we have profited by the splendid opportunities we have had of enriching our knowledge of Swedish culture and speech. At the meetings held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month in the Housekeeping suite, excellent speakers, men prominent in Scandinavian circles, have addressed us; Scandinavian music has been played and sung, and Swedish literature has been enjoyed. And now we officers are about to turn over our duties to other willing hands. We arc indeed aware that we have not carried out all we desired to accomplish, and that we have not profited as much as we should have; but we earnestly hope that the next year may be a better, fuller one and that more benefit may be derived. The members have been truly helpful and it is with them that I leave this parting wish: “May the Swedish club grow in spirit and prosperity, so that it may further not only the best interest of Swedish here at Central, but also the best interests of the school at large. HE Lkelele Club was organized in the fall of lc)16. We have adopted a three-fold purpose: first, to promote an interest in the playing of stringed instruments; second, to furnish musical numbers for the other clubs and the social functions of the school, and lastly to provide enjoyment for ourselves. The Club has been working under difficulties. We are competing with the Glee Club and the orchestra, which are two well known and firmly established organizations. But under the leadership of Mr. I’ehoushek, we are progressing very fast. Our music is interesting and varied, and there is a spirit of congeniality among the members. The Club appreciates fully the generosity with which Mr. Pchoushek took hold of the work. We are also indebted to Mr. White, our faculty advisor, for his help and interest It is true that the Club has not made its influence felt this year, but it is young and has time yet to win out. However, in the short time we have worked together. we feel sure that our purpose is being successfully carried out. The Advisor. Director and meml ers arc all optimistic and if there be cooperation between this and other clubs, the L'keleles ought soon to take their place among the leading organizations of the school.

Our receiving equipment, constructed entirely by club members, has a range covering the entire middle-west and eastern portions of the United States. We have a transmitting set capable of communicating eight hundred miles, but when the school was constructed the school-board overlooked the fact that alternating current was necessary for its operation, and they are now unwilling to make the installation. Although small in numbers, we have had a profitable and interesting year. Henry Foriies. Spanish Club THE Central Spanish Club, officially “Casino Castellano Central. was organized about two years ago. soon after the Spanish department came into existence. It has always been a club of large membership and of live linguists. Its purpose is to cultivate the free use of the Spanish language and to make Spanish places, people and customs familiar to the members. Next to English, Spanish is probably the widest used commercial language. As the lands where it is used have just begun to be developed, there are abundant opportunities for Americans with business abilities and who understand the Spanish language and people. There is a chance also for a brilliant future for the Spanish Club, for in the future the Club will have a larger percentage of second and third term students, who should do things worth while. Blaine R. McCt tciian. 133 The Typist Club THE Typist Club was organized in October. 1916, for the purpose of helping the typewriting students to get better acquainted with each other, and to furnish a means of entertainment and instruction for them. The meml cr-ship was about thirty pupils, and the following officers were elected: Frank Goudy, President: Helen Nordquist, Vice President: Reynold Odcan. Treasurer, and Henry Hanson, Secretary. Among the activities of the club were a trip to the Winston-Harper-Fisher Co. and a party given in the Gym November 6. Speakers at the various meetings were Mr. Stanley Staring of the Staring Heal Estate Co. and Mrs. K. Smith of the I.. C. Smith Typewriter Co. The club was reorganized the next semester with officers as follows: Rey- nold Odean, President; Louise Johnson, Vice President; William Dietrich, Treasurer. and Flora Baldwin, Secretary. The club was divided into two sections, the Blue and the Red, each side to endeavor to see which could get the most new members, the endeavor being to try and bring the membership to fifty. Reynold Odfan. The Pan-Literary Society THIS organization was established last October, 1916. and readily gained the support of such students as were interested in literary work. There are now over fifty enrolled members. Its purpose runs parallel with that of the English Department, and aims at promoting interest in debating, declamation, dramatic reading, oratory and parliamentary law, and other intellectual subjects. There is no other organization in the school which furnishes such op| ortunities for developing one’s ability to speak in public, nor to become so familiar with parliamentary law. Clifford Myre served as president last semester, and under his leadership, together with the suggestions and assistance of Mr. Chesnutt and Miss Forester, the society has obtained a good foundation upon which to build its future. The society has been very active, and a party and an assembly program are far from being the biggest achievements in its first year of existence; a marked advancement has been made in the speeches, especially impromptus, and in the execution of parliamentary law. An appropriate and instructive program is always well prepared for each meeting. All students arc invited to attend these meetings, and all. excepting B-Frcshmcn, are eligible for membership. 134 Robert Nelson. nniiimniiiiinniL y SP The Latin Club HE Latin Club of Central High School organized during the latter part of November, 1916, purposing to unify the interests of the classic language department of the school. One of the most powerful arguments against the study of Latin has been the oft-quoted statement that it is useless to learn the principles of a dead language. It is the purpose of the Latin Club to prove the fallacy of this attitude and to stimulate interest in study of the lives, customs, and government of the ancient Romans as well as of their language. The programs of past months have consisted of talks and papers in discussion of these topics and have without exception proved interesting and instructive. The early life of the Latin Club was marked by the usual unavoidable confusion, but the organization was soon perfected and a definite plan of operation was adopted. Membership privileges were extended to the Sophomore class as well as to Juniors and Seniors and meetings were held at intervals of two weeks. As a whole, the work of the Club may be considered successful, but the possibilities of such an organization have been developed in but a small measure, indeed. good foundation has been laid, however, and future members of the department will not he forced to bother about the minor difficulties which have, in no small way, monopolized the attention of the Latin Club’s charter members. The Past of the club has been a period of organization, the Present a time of perfection and in the Future lie possibilities for an efficiency which shall make the Latin department the most active and progressive of Central High.

Was the conductor in his right mind? For, instead ot a hustling village, all I saw were trees—trees. As a conductor is usually supposed to be a sane person, I got oil and looked casually around, but there was nothing in sight save an old buggy. Seated on the sagging seat of this vehicle, was the most refreshingly beautiful girl 1 had ever seen. She was about sev utecn. and wore a cool print dress and a pink sun-bonnet. Her hair was brown and curly and clung in entrancing little ringlets about her face. When she saw me. her face lighted up with welcome, and she cried, “Oh — I’m so glad you've come. I’ve always wanted to see a sure 'nough writer. I know I shall just love you! Then a look of dismay came over her face and she exclaimed—‘ ’Now! Aunt Salinda told me never to speak to a stranger that way. We have no inn here.” she went on, ‘ so we neighbors drew lots and we got you. My name is Betsy King and I know yours is Richard havers.” Encouraged by this friendly welcome I took my seat beside .Miss I lets) and we started toward her home. As wc drove up to the house a tall, angular woman came out on the porch. “Betsy King.” she exclaimed in a rasping voice, you've been gone over two hours. Mr. Fa vers must be pert’ nigh starved.” Then to me—“Do come in, now. won’t ye? I hope ye’ll be at home here and enjoy yerself.” When I had my breakfast. Betsy said: “Now you must see Aunt Beth. She couldn’t come down to meet you because she can never walk again.” She led me up-stairs to a door and knocked softly. Then she pushed the door open and we went in. Sitting bv the window was a little lady with snow-white hair, soft, lustrous eyes and a lovely angelic face. She turned to welcome me with a sweet smile. How different was she from her harsh, stern sister! The days passed happily in this hospitable home. One day Betsy and I wandered to a large daisy field. She had been making a daisy chain for her curly head—when suddenly she sat up straight. “Oh. Mr. Dick -I’ve forgotten to tell you about Mr. Grouch! He's as important and more mysterious than anybody in Cherry-town. That’s his house up there—the big colonial one on the hill. ludith Marring used to work up there. One time he went away and left her the keys to all the rooms and told her to clean all but one,— not to go in there. But she did go in and she saw a beautiful room with mahogany furniture, cretonne hangings, and a lovely rose colored wrapper and slippers on a chair! And there were magazines on the table. She looked at them and they were dated 1890! And then suddenly in walked Mr. Girard, and oh! hut he was angry. He told her to go away and never come hack and not to speak of what she had seen. But she did tell nearly every one in town and I, for one. am just dying to know more about it.” That evening, a small hoy from the town came 138 CHS mrrmTimm !i;' n nr Mini;?: tt 17 in breathless. He gave Betsy a note which was folded and soiled. After hastily reading it, she tucked it in her apron pocket and went on with the dishes. When we had finished, she said pleadingly, “Now, Mr. Dick—please don’t pay any attention to me tonight.” I promised and then we went into the living room where Aunt Salinda had lighted the lamp. 1 began to talk to her and soon noticed Betsy going out of the house. I started to follow her, when 1 remembered my promise. And so I resigned myself to a quiet evening with Aunt Salinda. Later as 1 was lying awake, I heard Betsy's voice. “Now, Donald, please stay away after this week. I'm afraid Aunt Salinda will find you out. You may come Sunday night and then—oh don’t come again.” What could this mean? Could this Donald be in love with Betsy? I pondered on the subject for several hours. Sunday night, Betsy slipped out of the house. Aunt Salinda drove off to church and 1 was alone. I was walking in the garden when I heard Betsy say— “Oh Donald—don't. Why it would break Aunt Beth's heart—and I couldn’t hardly love you any more! Forgetting my promise, everything but that Betsy was annoyed, I crashed through the bushes. A dark figure lied through the night. Betsy turned, and with her voice trembling with rage said: “You—you have broken your promise! I shall never speak to you again—never!” And she ran into the house. ()nc morning when Miss Salinda went to get some money out of the safe she discovered that over fifty dollars was gone! But even so, Betsy did not speak. This might have gone on till I had gone home, if something had not happened that broke her silence at last. One morning I was out alone in the daisy field when suddenly I saw Betsy coming up the road at a pace entirely too fast for a hot summer day. She ran to me and breathlessly exclaimed, “Oh. Mr. Dick, come quick; Aunt Salinda went to take Auntie's breakfast to her and—she was gone. We have searched everywhere and can't find her!” I followed her to the house, where I leaped to a horse and tore along the road. The horse seemed to understand my anxiety, so that I scarcely had to guide him. Suddenly I came on a strange road near Mr. Grouch’s house. And then— a donkey covered with dust came jogging up the road. Its rider was urging it on and she, too, was covered with dust. I stopj cd to inquire whether she had seen Miss Beth—when she looked up and 1 stared into the face of the lost one herself! Red faced, with her hair tumbled over one ear. her lovely eyes full of anxiety, her dress plastered with dust—she made a very comical picture which contrasted strangely with her usual sweet and placid appearance. When she saw me, the red of her face dcej encd and then to my surprise, she drove past without a word. I watched her in amazement as she turned her donkey and drove straight up to Mr. Grouch’s house. The door opened and a handsome man stepped out. When he perceived Miss Beth but let me draw the curtain on that sacred scene. I turned and drove slowly away, musing on the scene. 139 : ff :TiTtrTTrrn:rrr;TTTmrrT rmriT-TT-n 1 xnminr.inil I 111 111 uii iminnaj y H A l When I had told my tale. Aunt Salinda (who had had hysterics) sat straight up and said firmly, “Well, at last Beth King’s come to her right senses. And me makin' a fool of myself all account of this. After she had gone. Betsy hurst into a fit of nervous tears, and she finally sat up, still sobbing and said tremulously- Oh. Mr. Dick, I’ve wanted to speak to you so. I was just horrid and I'll try to make up for it. Donald is my brother whom Aunt Salinda hates. He came to visit me and said that he was going to marry a chorus girl! I begged him not to but I guess you know about that.” Just at twilight we heard the sound of an automobile stopping before the house. Betsy jumped up and 1 followed. We saw Miss Beth and Mr. Cirouch get out and walk towards the house. He was really laughing and she walked very firmly. After we were settled in the house Miss Beth held out her left hand proudly and we saw a plain gold hand ring. And then in a sweet voice, she said, John and I were in love long, long ago. We quarreled, just before the wedding day. John had our lovely home all ready and a beautiful room especially for me. But the wedding never occurred. Then I was hurt and I did not care, for I felt my life blighted. Suddenly, by a twist of nature, 1 got better. I enjoyed my martyrdom and could not he convinced that 1 could walk. Finally I thought I would try to walk and that I would show John Girard that a King never kept a grudge. Anyway the quarrel was all my fault. And after several successful trials I found I could walk, so I had Betsy take enough of my money out of the safe to buy Martin Brigg’s donkey and our hired man's silence. And when 1 got there, John had also thought to come and apologize and so we met. And now—I'm happy. And I do beg your forgiveness for worrying you.” Aunt Salinda coughed and left the room, her face very red. sniffing that “Some people never did have any sense.

(Pupils Also). Attachable to Any Light Socket. Central High School. May 19. 1917.— Robert Rome, Central’s leading scientist and tin tinker now announces his marvelous invention, the Brain Energizer. Boh modestly refrains from giving the story of his long and tedious struggle in making it. Says It Is Very Practical It is very practical. said Bob. proudly. “Any teacher can use it. Simply screw the plug in the electric light socket, apply the cap to the lazy student's head, turn on the switch and away you go. Mr. Greer Places Large Order Our principal recognized Mr. Rome's genius by placing an order with Boh for 16 gross, to be delivered by Sept. 1. 1917. His car left a gasoline trail. So he feared that his tank was too frail; With a match for a light. He found out he was right. And they gathered him up in a pail. Unscrupulous Criminal Among Faculty Mr. H. M. Brook of the industrial department of this school is found out at last. He has been doing his dastardly work here at Central where he was supposed to he a respectable married man. Instead oi leading the minds of young manhood in the right direction he has been corrupting the pupils placed under his charge. Not content with keeping his criminal acts to himself his influence may have compelled the innocent youths in his charge to do wrong. He has praised those who have taken up his unscrupulous work with the greatest speed. Mr. Brook will appear before Juvenile court at some near date for the crime of forgery in room 113. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecast for the coming year is generously unfair and dry during the summer, dryer in all English classes and contrary to all precedent snow will descend by force of gravity during the winter. Two points of particularly hot dry atmosphere will be the auditorium stage during the first period and Room 315 on Monday mornings. A point of excessively low temperature will be at Mr. Greer’s desk after a discovered skip. The weather is guaranteed to be disagreeable except for magazine worms and indoor track-men.

Dr. Yoltson. sat in a stool in our Butcher Street lodgings studying the phsiogamy of my unnatural friend the great Klinthook Hornless, Defective. I saw his strong sensitive alakaline nose quiver. He removed his lead pipe from his mouth, closed it and said dramatically. “Someone is coming to see us. Just then a tap resounded front our standing-room door. “Marveless! 1 gasped, How could you know it?” Hornless carelessly answered, Oh, I heard the outside door slam.” After this astounding bit of reduction my strange friend thing shut the door and omitted a tin-buttons. He reproduced a telcmiligram and pen from his empty hat and handed the latter to Flintlock. Ha!” he cried, a zero.” This in the language of the scholar means a message written in code. Hornless sighed on the boy’s card, tipped him over, and sat up to the cipher. After ten seconds, that seemed at least two hours but was really only one. Hornless cried. “Ah! 1 have it. The message is written in Spanish.” The prcceeding is what lie translated, having once attended a girls’ finishing school for boys. .001 Butcher Street. Undone. U. S. A. Jan. 32. 1921. B. c.

I could sec a knights pleasure behind so 1 shook my head unwisely which Hornless took in his lap.

Read What Has Happened—Diamond Dick, one of Uncle Sam’s mounted sleuths and hero of many a cowboy adventure. has trailed a band of border smugglers to their lair. They are holding Cleopatra, the banker's daughter, for ransom. Dick is creeping towards the cave alone, having refused the aid of Rangers, and determined to capture the gang single-handed. Now read the story. CHAPTER XXXVIII. Conclusion Stretched full length along the six-inch ledge of rock, our hero lay peering over the edge down the steep cliff and saw, hundreds of feet below, the roaring waters of the Rio Grande. Even his iron nerve llinchcd at the thot of his awful peril, but steeling himself, he crept slowly forward and peered cautiously over a point of rock. Not forty feet away, nestled in the side of the rocks like the nest of the boldest of eagles, was the lair of the gang that he sought. The ruffians were seated in groups about their smouldering fire, swearing, drinking. and playing five-hundred, while at the entrance of the cave sat the charming Clco cruelly gagged and bound. Just then the leader swaggered up to her, probably to offer her some insult— QUICK AS A FLASH Diamond Dick drew his trusty revolver. CRACK! and the villain breathed no more. Immediately the gang vanished, each one hiding behind a rock from this unseen enemy. Bang, bang! They caught sight of Dick's hat and it was swished off by a shower of bullets. Then Diamond Dick played his trump card. Regaining his hat, he anchored it with stones in a position to lead the ruffians to think he was still there; he then retreated, made a wide detour and approached their rear thru another pass. Stealthily he crept forward. They were within ten feet of him now and busy shooting at his anchored hat. all seven of them in plain view. Diamond Dick then played his other trump card. With a quick motion of his foot he loosened a rock in such a way as to start a perfect avalanche toward the men, making a sound like the approach of a company of cavalary. Simultaneously he shouted above the roar— Forward men! Surrender you illians. in the name of UNCLE SAM and throw down your arms.” The ruse worked. Their leader killed and (as they thot) cavalary at their backs, the men were spiritless and our hero bound and gagged them with little difficulty. Releasing our heroine, he carried the fainting beauty to his horse. Mounting quickly, he rode grimly out into the afternoon with Clco clinging to him and weeping tears of joy upon his tlanncl shirt.

Now isn’t it quite a bore When you’re up in number four And you have your next class down upon the first, And you have just two short minutes To reach those boundless limits For if you don’t you’re sure to net the worst.

When you hear that old bell ring Then you gather every thing And make a bee-line for the nearest staircase But you find to your surprise That although you might be wise Some others, too, had tried and won the race. III. And it seems they move so slow That you’ll never get below If you iiad two times two minutes for it all. But you find to your delight That you’re not in such a plight For among the first you reach the lower hall. IV.

Try Smiling If the world look sad and drear. Try smiling. If exams arc awfully near. Try smiling. It your troubles seem to loom. And you’re smothered up in gloom So the sunshine hasn't room. Try smiling. Don't wait for the cloud to shift. Try smiling. Lend your hand, give them a lift. Try smiling. Cover up each sigh ami moan. No one wants to hear you groan. We have troubles of our own. Try smiling. Ki.izaiikth Sri.i.iva . Ralph There is a little lw y of seven. Mis eyes are azure, like the heaven; Mis hair is reel, or golden hue: llis heart is right, anil just true blue. When I come home from school each day He’s waiting there for me to play, A book to read, a doll to dress. Some childish fancy to express. There’s not another boy in town That smiles so often, without a frown. Or is so dear to girl or mother, As is my little Ralph, my brother. Gnmtnir l)r iiam. I4« H. W. SPRINGER ENGRAVING !

Any standard typewriter can Ik operated much faster than rhe speediest typist can manipulate her fingers. The question of speed, therefore, resolves itself into how quick anil how accurately the average operator can turn out the different kinds of work that arc required on the-same machine in the course of a day or a week. The task may include making out bills, writing curds, checks, cutting stencils, writing labels, tabulating work, or filling in ruled forms. The I.. C. Smith Bros, typewriter is so constructed that quick changes can Ik made from one kind of work to another—and back again, with a minimum waste or TIME BETWEEN. Special rental rates to students L. C.
