% THE mmm PUBLISHED BY SENIORCLASSES CENTRAL ItICfl SCHOOL H1NNEAP0LIS MINN [ ] To Our Boys in the Service. TRAMP—TRAMP—the boys in khaki and the boys in navy blue! They arc marching down our streets: they are training in our schools and camps. They are answering the grim call of war. From east and west, from south and north they come, more and yet more, marching on. ever on. under the Red. White, and Blue. We thought at first that only a few would be called, but the scores have swelled to hundreds, the hundreds to thousands, the thousands to hundreds of thousands. And still the Bugle calls, the Drum still beats to arms! Of this vast and ever-growing host of America’s boys pressing forward with young eagerness and brave, set faces to offer their lives in this most holy cause for which men have ever fought on bloodstained battle-fields, our school is bearing no mean share. W ho. as he passes along our corridors and catches a glimpse of our beautiful Service Flag with its stars, can fail to thrill with pride as he thinks: “There arc our representatives.” In different parts of our own beloved land—on the farms, in the camps, manning our ships—and across the seas in beautiful, tortured, glorious France, in heroic, martyred Belgium, you are paying our debt. Boys of Central High, you stand in the firing line for us. doing the work we would fain do but cannot. In Red Cross or Y. M. C. A. ork. as ambulance drivers or engineers you are nobly stepping into the breech in behalf of Freedom. Justice, and Humanity. For you know that “The right is more precious than peace.” You arc honoring us; we shall not fail to honor you. Our hearts, our hopes, and our prayers are with you. Not a day shall we fail to remember you until that glad day comes when with bells ringing and waving banners, with smiles and tears and laurels for your crowning we welcome you home again. But all this will not make you vain, for you will return to us tested and tried in the fierce crucible of war. There will be a new light in your eyes, a new firmness in vour step, for you will have lived through experiences seldom granted to the life of a man. You will have gone down to the depths and touched the heights. You will have learned to know yourselves and to know your God. The little meannesses and pettinesses of a small, treadmill existence that threatened to make up all of life but a few short years ago, will all have fallen away; and courage, unselfishness, self-sacrifice, will have made life a now and glorious thing. For “Honor has come back like a King to earth; and Nobleness walks in our ways again: and we have come back into our heritage. And so. wherever you may be. Boys of Old Central, let this book carry you our greeting and “all hail. Ye salute you. and bid you godsjK ed as you give for your country and for humanity “the last full measure of devotion.” Grnce A. Williams.

It means that you have accomplished four years of consistent and consecutive work and won the approval of your school. You are now ready to “go forth to service in larger and broader fields. Central is proud to turn out two such splendid classes in these days of perilous war. You go forth into life’s service at a time when men and women of your accomplishments are so greatly needed. Old Central expects you to do your duty. Xo group of young people on earth have had any better opportunities for educational training than you have enjoyed. Your loving obedience, your devotion to study, your joy in service, your response to the calls of your city and country demonstrate vour perfect patriotism. Our beloved country can fight for liberty without fear when supported by an army with a spirit such as you possess. We know that when the command comes, each one of you will “go over the top with joy and possessed with that faith in God which will compel the unspeakable Hun to be silent forever. ()ur blessings upon each and all of you. Affectionately, your principal. John X. Gkkkk. A Tribute to Mr. Greer V ITH the close of this school year our Principal, who has been the leader of Central High School for so many years, leaves us for broader fields of service. Although Mr. Greer leaves us, he leaves behind him an enduring monument. Our beautiful building, the spirit of our school, its high ideals and splendid opportunities all are a testimonial to the man who by his devoted and unselfish service has created them. His imprint has been made upon this city through the thousands of students who have been guided by his wise counsels and inspired by his example to become true citizens. The debt which we owe him can never be paid; yet those who know him best know that the only reward he desires is the knowledge that he has been instrumental in helping others to be ready to serve. It is rare indeed to find men of the personal power of Mr. Greer who are willing to spend their talents in a field which is financially so limited and which calls for such unselfish devotion as does the Public School Service. But it is still rarer to find a man who can perform such service as he has already performed, and yet have the vision and vigor to go on to higher and broader fields of endeavor. His life will continue to be an inspiration not only to the students of today, but to the citizens of tomorrow. Central High School A S a building, Central High School is one of the most beautiful and best equipped in the United States. It is situated rather far back from the street on a magnificent lawn, whose wide terraces serve to heighten the impression of vastness that one gets at first sight of the building. The exterior is of reddish brown brick with trimmings of gray stone. The main entrance is on the east front, and is supplemented by two other entrances at cither end of the building, also facing east, and two others on both north and south sides, and another in the rear. On the ground floor are situated the Agriculture and Botany departments, with the two greenhouses on the south used as classrooms; the cooking and sewing departments; the housekeeping suite; the school laundry; the lunchroom. with its serving capacity equal to that of a large down-town cafeteria; several classrooms: and the l oys’ and girls’ locker rooms. On the second, or main floor arc the Physics and Chemistry laboratories, the Main Office and Principal’s Office and numerous classrooms. The main entrance to the Auditorium, which is situated in the centre of the building, is also on this floor, and there are also entrances to the balcony from the third and fourth floors. Back of the Auditorium are the boys’ and girls' gymnasiums, which may be thrown together by means of sliding partitions. Mechanical Drawing rooms and Manual Training shops are also situated on this floor. On the third floor arc the library and various classrooms. On the fourth floor are the Music and Art rooms, the former with a seating capacity of 400. The Art rooms, on the north, are lighted from above by skylights, and are well equipped, thus ensuring the best possible work. [ is] There are four flights of stairs, one at each corner of the building, leading to each of the floors. The number of classrooms is approximately from eighty to eighty-five, and many of these rooms have been subdivided into two on account of crowding. The building was completed in 1913 to house 1,600 students. The enrollment today is 2.600, a thousand over the initial capacity. This necessitates various methods and schemes to do away with overcrowding. The heating plant is situated in a one-story annex in the rear of the Main Building. Besides heating the building, this plant generates electricity for lighting the building and running motors in the machine shop and laundry. The building is fireproof throughout, and equipped with the l est modern educational facilities. It is a school which may hold its own with the finest in the country, and which its city and its students are proud to own. immiiiiiiMWWiiiiBiBiinc.'itiwiiBiiir [16] The Faculty Crecr, John N., Principal Board man, Charles W., Asst.

[25] Rip Van Winkle N the evenings of February 21st and 22nd, the Glee Club of Central High - presented to a packed house Robert Planquettc’s comic opera “Rip Van Winkle.” The production was voted the greatest ever produced in our auditorium. The scenery, specially painted by the Shubert. was the most realistic ever seen on our stage. Costumes were furnished by the Minneapolis Costume Company. They were very beautiful and fitted the time of the play to a nicety. The cast was the largest ever seen in any of the Glee Club’s productions, a total of twenty-three distinct characters. Our old reliable, faithful Sydney II. Morse coached the play and took the part the village good-for-nothing— Rip Van Winkle, the central character—throughout the play. The time of the play was just before the American Revolution. The place was the village of Sleepy Hollow, in the Catskill Mountains. French gold behind a plot to disrupt England’s power in the community was the cause of all the trouble which made the play. The village lawyer held a mortgage over Rip’s home. The lawyer, a villainous fellow, was impersonated very aptly by Fritz Dyste. Rip had found some old French money on his trips through the mountains, and with this money he paid off his mortgage. The lawyer accused Rip of traitorism. Captain Hugh Rowley, played by George Tupper, appeared on the scene, and laid chase to Rip with his small detail of troopers. Rip, however, escaped to the mountains. This ended the first act. The final scene of this act was a pantomime. Rip on a bridge at the back, the villagers in front of him, and across the stage the English soldiers with leveled pieces, making an attractive ending to the act. The second act takes place in the mountains. The demon crew, the ninepins, fatal goblet and all were nicely portrayed. The third and last act has to do with Rip’s return, his identification and ruination of Derrick Van Slows, the village lawyer.

The plays were given as a Red Cross benefit, and over $200 was cleared. The first play, “A Belgian Christmas Eve. was a war tragedy, which depicted very vividly the horrors of the German invasion of Belgium. The action took place in the home of a Belgian doctor who has been murdered by the invading Germans. The dead man's wife. Rada, is the heroine of the play.

The Boys’ Club v was entertaining the Girls’ Club with a carnival. Fred Archambo was sentinel at the door. John Hartzcll took what money was given him and gave in return one-cent tickets to the eager throngs. There were booths and boys. Jack Femald was before one booth ringing a bell and shouting at the top of his voice something about a fountain of youth. (To tell the truth of the matter. Jack needed to visit that fountain badly, for he. to all appearances, was losing his own eyesight, since his coat was wrong side front and so was his hat.) No one could resist the appeal of his entrancing voice, so of necessity one parted with a ticket and entered the l ooth. What a sight greeted one’s eyes! There was the dear old drinking fountain and Grandison Eubank, bedecked in all rags possible, gesticulating frantically for the onlookers not to impart the secret. The main attraction for the girls was the booth that had a sign, “No Girls Allowed.” What was in it? Ah—! At another booth Nick was trying to tempt people to part with one of their one-cent tickets, and was calling out something about a wild man. Since there was a man. and a wild one at that, many rushed eagerly to see him. He was watched over and fed by a muscular-appearing keeper, who advised people not to tarry long, as the same faces irritated the ferocious man. Because of this, people backed out and into the Rogues' Gallery, but not before the magical ticket had passed from their hand to Frank’s. What desperate characters there are in Central! Such crimes they have committed! Everyone knows everything now. How many had sweet dreams that night after visiting that gypsy woman? What fun those penny dances were! How many pennies rolled into Andie Caswell’s eager palms, who knows—who knows? After the pennies were used up. one trudged wearily homeward, but happy after an afternoon of good fun. The Players’ Vaudeville 1 | HE PLAYERS’ CLUB staged a vaudeville on February 27th. It was a regular circus, with Duke Clarity as chief barker. Mary Joe Moorehead and Leslie Anderson starred in “When Love Is Young.” which Leslie Anderson interpreted beautifully. Other headliners were “The Old-fashioned W ives,” consisting of some fine dancing and a chorus of poke bonnets and knitting bags. Lura Osborne and Pearl Katzenberger, the only living rivals of Sis Hopkins, sang their famous “Here Come the Married Men,” followed by some charming interpretive dancing. Leslie Adams, the celebrated Ivory Tickler, and Roscoe Kolliner and Leslie Anderson in their original stunt, “Ventriloquism,” or “Why Women Leave Home. The program was concluded by music from a real Jazz band. : ■ TIlllllllllllllHn [82] MMUnNMnmM -a mi) xmsasm 1® ll9j.HI January Class Most Popular Girl....................Caroline Enve Most Popular Boy ------ Sidney Lasley Most Courteous Girl ------ Caroline Ewe Most Courteous Boys..................Lawrence Carlson Ben Travis Best-looking Girl ------- Irene Olson Best-looking Boy ------- Sidney Lasley Most Generous Girl...................Jessie Murphy Most Generous Boy ------ Lawrence Carlson Most Studious Girl...................Cora Vanstrum Most Studious Boy ------ Wm.

As we review these past four years we would not boast of our achievements at Central, but we hope that we may have established a record that will make us long remembered as a class, which did its utmost to benefit Central in everything which it undertook. W e have been held together during our high school life by bonds of intimate association and co-operation. Now that these bonds are severed, we will inevitably scatter into the various fields of activity for which our courses have prepared us. Although we cease to be bound together, the relentless spirit of the class remains the same, and as it becomes necessary to say farewell we hope that the years to come may be as happy as those which we spent in good old Central High. Sincerely, your president. Sidney C. I-aseey.

During the dance which followed in the Gym, many words of appreciation were showered on the cast, such as. “Splendid, Mahle, only I do hope you don’t acquire that attitude in real life.” Jack Fernald as “Stewart'’ made a splendid husband, not having had previous experience. “Hyman Minter made the nicest Uncle John! Gladys Bone as “Emily” was quite a vampire, but displayed quite another side of her disposition to “Dick” or Egbert Fairchild. Annabel Rogers tripped about with her tray of pink and green medicine. The above cast of characters together with the play and Miss Williams’ splendid coaching brought a natural success. I liRuaniiifiuauiiii [ 49 ] musiiiwii r .H'IBI.1 t i!i • iU • ; Prophecy of Class January 1918 By Alice Cheeck EVERYTHING and everyone were astir on the train. The porter, attended by his whiskbroom, came bowing down the aisle. A jingle of coins ensued. Here, the porter cast a weak smile; there, his face beamed and he bowed low. A stifling, smoky feeling hailed our entrance into one of the largest cities of the world, Minneapolis, Minnesota. “Baggage checked to any part of the city. came the voice of the baggage man. Where had I heard that voice before? Behind a mustache industriously curled, beamed a familiar face. I stared and stared. Soon the baggage man, noticing my staring and raising false hopes of checking my baggage, stopped and asked me the familiar question concerning niv baggage. Ah. I remember. Oft I had heard that deep voice ring out in the Central High School assembly, some ten years ago. “Alas,’’ I exclaimed. “I see you have followed the direct line of your talent. Aren’t you John Hartzell ?” “Yes,” he replied. “What is your name?” I told him and we had a short chat. He mentioned, during the discourse that one of my old classmates would serve me coffee and breakfast in the depot restaurant. I inquired who it was and he mentioned Dorothy Souders. The only person in the restaurant was an individual who enumerated to me an assortment of sausages and prices. “Dorothy,” I gasped and knew no more ’till I felt a cold shower in my face. I made my name known and it was her turn to faint. I asked for a doctor. A woman named “Willie” came and revived Dorothy. While frying some hamburger for my breakfast, the latter told me that she had been promoted twice in a year. She began as a dishwasher. Then, she was promoted to assistant cook; but, as the other cook died, she was promoted to chief cook. I bade her farewell and started for the home of my friend, Mrs. Nichols, formerly Morty Wells, whom I was to visit during my stay in Minneapolis. I took a jitney for my destination. The driver sat very straight in his seat and his face took on a divine look. Evidently this was due to the fact that he was dreaming, for we narrowly missed a telephone post. As he helped me off with my baggage, he recognized my name on my valise, and said that he was none other than Samuel Gross. I went into the corner drug store and asked the price of a box of good candy. The clerk said that the Rodine ami Kerry make was thirty-nine cents. I bought a box and started for the Nichols home. Some posters announcing a circus attracted mv attention. A man pictured as manoeuvering on a trapeze was named ' The Daring Lawrence Carlson.” Also, a heavyweight champion was advertised for a boxing contest. The first boxer was called Sidney Lasley. 1 reached the Nichols’ home and was met by Mrs. Nichols, nee Morty. and following close in her wake came John Nichols. We greeted each other cordially and sat down to talk. In the midst of our conversation the strains of the once favored song. “They go wild, simply wild over me. and the voices of many children were heard. We looked out of the window and beheld a cute red jacketed monkey? holding a tin cup to some children. At the end of the string stood the organ-grinder who proclaimed himself Jake Fernaldo. That evening we decided to go to some show. At one of the theaters, the title of the play attracted us. It was The call of the Blonde. We decided to go here. At the appointed hour we hailed Sam’s jitney. During the ride. Sam told 11s that Dana McCutcheon was fast becoming famous as the editor of the Twin City Reporter. Mr. Nichols insisted on stopping at a brilliantly lighted florist shop to buy Mrs. Nichols some flowers. A pleasant woman met us at the door and asked if we would like something. Mr. Nichols asked for a bouquet of his favorite flowers, orange blossoms. The woman looked rather queer and asked if they were to be worn in the veil or in a shower bouquet. Mrs. Nichols blushed and asked for roses instead. The woman had been gazing intently at Mrs. Nichols the whole time, and finally asked if she wasn’t formerly Morty Wells. Mrs. Nichols nodded assent and told her our names. The florist said her name was Mabel Akervold and that she was in partnership with Gladys Glenny. We were greatly surprised, but nevertheless stood the shock quite well. As we walked nearer the theater, a great crowd attracted our attention. As we drew nearer the corner and the f row sled mob. we recognized our former classmate. Grace Peterson, declaiming. “Women Are the Superiors of Men.” While Mr. Nichols l ought the tickets from a girl whom the ushers called De Mott, we went into the Roger’s Candy Store adjoining the theater. It was a very dainty place and the prices matched the sky. A very courteous fellow was our usher, whose name we asked. “Men call me Fairchild ’ said he. We asked him if at one time he attended Central High School. At these words he recognized us and asked if we hadn’t graduated with him the same year. We answered in the affirmati e. As we proceeded down the aisle, we suddenly stepped into a zone of frigidity as of a Borean breeze from the Pole. Looking about to see from whence the chilling breeze issued, we beheld two individuals casting icicle glances at each other: Eustis Fischer and Dorothy Erickson. The orchestra was very good. We learned afterwards that this was due to the fact that the famous Marienne Jeffrey and James Roberts played in it. In the baldhcaded row we beheld two individuals that closely resembled Ben Travis and Lawrence Larson. “Things and places have changed so much.” I exclaimed. Beneath a picture of an armed knight of the middle ages appeared the notice, “I et Sally Hunt furnish your costumes.” “It seems to me that I have heard these names before said Mrs. Nichols. I acquiesced and asked if the Fulton Electric Shop was run by Edward Fulton, and if Hulda Gjevre was the Gjevre mentioned as the instructor of modern languages. I inquired of Mrs. Nichols where I could find a good manicurist and hairdresser. She said that she had been going to Josephine Koll for her manicures and to Elizabeth Tenney for her hairdressing. I noticed that a person named Landskov guarantees to make anyone a Bernhardt by taking ten of her lessons. A picture of a huge can of baked beans called the “Sainz Pork and Beans” occupied the last page. The first curtain presented some tableaux. One called “The Seasons” brought forth a bevy of maidens of whom the most ravishing stood forth clad in the venial green of joysome spring and crowned in the glory of Octolier’s maple leaves. The program named her Phyllis Wooster. After the tableaux, the play commenced. All eyes were riveted on the blonde, the leading lady, the heroine, and none other than Gladys Bone. The plav was deq and aweinspiring. The heroine made the shivers chase each other up and down the spinal column like wet-footed mice. Some wept while others had to be carried out on stretchers. During an entre-act. the tragedy was deepened by a doleful song by Hymen Mintcr. At length, as the hero swore undying love, his protestations were interrupted by a ka-ka-ka-choo ending in a dismal whine. We it once recogiized that sneeze as lielonging to Jessie Graves. We groped our way from the theater to the street. Here our attention was arrested by the melodious tones of nine-fifteen. uttered with Websterian augustness by the brass-buttoned carriage porter. A closer scrutiny revealed to our astonished gaze the familiar features of our dashing Archie Heaubien. From thence we made our way to a cafe to liven up a bit. Again the subject of classmates was introduced. Mrs. Xichols said that she had seen Irene )lson, in accordance with the law of affinity, following the bent of her own sweet nature, selling perfume at Woolworth’s. Mr. Xichols interrupted the conversation at this point and said, “Have you heard that Cora Vanstrum is the new mayor of Minneapolis and that Miriam Sawyer is dabbling a great deal in politics?” Mrs. Xichols took up the trend of the conversation at this point, saying, “Did you know that I joined the suffragist society of which Caroline Ewe is the president?” Mr. Xichols mumbled something about undarned socks, but was utterly ignored. “Have you heard the latest? Mrs. Xichols exclaimed again. The name of Paul Roberts, who enlisted in the world war during his senior year, is frequently connected with the name of Gladys Holman in social circles. Alma Prang and Grace Kenly have been displaying on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Auditorium some medals of honor which they had won in that same war as nurses. 1 mentioned that according to all reports the toga of Archimedes had descended on the worthy shoulders of Evelyn Wilson. Our chattering was interrupted at this point by a dance from a girl called “La Premiere Danseuse” and named Juanita Werdin. She was accompanied by one called Harry Wickey. I inquired of Mrs. Xichols if Beatrice Altman was the one who answers the counsel to anxious lovers on the back page of the Tribune. A clapping of hands drowned her reply. We betook ourselves homeward to sleep, perhaps to dream of the days long, long ago. 153] History of Class of January 1918 p EAR FULLY and tremblingly, in January, 1914. there migrated to Central’s halls a swarm of small green people, destined so soon to blossom forth into that worthy class of January, 1918. Shy during our Freshman year, we only began to get acquainted, hut in our Sophomore year we knew everyone and everything so well that we felt quite at home. In our Junior year, however, the real fun began, for then came our first class meetings. Then, of course, the most important business was the election of officers, and Bradford Field was made president; Hazel Sainz. vice-president: I-awrence Carlson, treasurer, and Cora Vanstrum. secretary. Ah! at last the long-looked-forward-to had arrived in the form of our first Junior party. In the fall we changed the crew of our ship of state and elected John Hartzell president; Hazel Sainz again as vice-president; I-awrence Carlson, treasurer, and Caroline Ewe. secretary. At last we launched uj on our Senior year, the l est year of all the four. Once more we were assembled for the purpose of choosing our leaders. Sidney Lasley was elected president; Gladys Bone, vice-president; I awrence Carlson, treasurer, and Caroline Ewe, secretary. In the second semester of our Senior year, the class voted to keep the same officers as were elected the previous semester. On January 18. our class play, “Her Husband’s Wife,” was most successfully presented under the direction of Miss Williams. Graduation came on January 24, and then our high school days were over. Although we have gone out of the halls of our dear Alma Mater, we shall ever cherish the fondest memories of our four years at Central.

Class of June 1918 Dear Classmates: POUR years ago we started our high school career. During those four years we have all been preparing ourselves, that we may reach the goal of success. Some of us have made the best of our advantages, while others may have wasted valuable time. After graduation we will all start on a new journey. Many of us will continue our school life in college, while others will go forward into the business world. Hut let us, the members of the class of June 191S, remember that, whatever activities of life we enter, our country demands the best that we can give.

A great many tried out. and a very good cast was chosen. The rather unusual story is of a mother, who. being disappointed in having daughters instead of sons, has brought up her daughters as sons. When the story begins, the girls are just beginning to realize that they are young ladies, and many complications follow. The role of Lady Castlejordan was well played by Ruth Cranston. The parts of the three girls. Lady Noeline, Lady Wilhelmina. and Lady Thomasine, were most excellently portrayed by Helen McCarthy, Marie Hill, and Libby Rose respectively. The part of the hero. Lord Utterly, was well interpreted by llibbert Hill. The two amusing characters were Kenneth Tyler as Lord Tween ways and Harry Draper as Andre de Grival. Bessie Shore, as Sergeant Shuler, made an excellent gymnasium teacher, and Leslie Adams in the role of the Reverend Mr. Minchin did excellent work. The other parts were excellently taken by Ward Gray. Gorham McGuire, and Louis Butters. The success of the play was due greatly to the excellent coaching of Miss Grace Williams. I 83 ] History of Class of June ’18 P IN September. 1914 there migrated to Central High School about two hundred little green pigmies who were later to become famous as the Class of June ’18. We ran around the halls as though “Old Harry” himself was chasing us. For the first year we were under the protecting care of various teachers, ranging from Miss Hendrix and Miss Nutter, who gave us our excellent foundation in mathematics, to Miss Coleman, whose charming personality and beautiful influence remain one of the loveliest memories of our school life. In those days our chief crimes were getting locked in the locker room, cutting up with Mrs. Funsett, then Miss Spore, and sitting downstairs in Assembly instead of upstairs where all good little Freshmen sat. Bernice Kohler, assisted by Evelyn Donahue, starred when it came to getting into scrapes and out of them again. The next fall the boys returned with heightened dignity, due to long trousers, but the girls seemed the same except for a little Sophomore wisdom. The boys became interested in athletics about this time, with Chester Riebe and Mark Clarity in the limelight. The girls, under the able leadership of Olga Vcrdelin and Helen McCarthy, went in for volley and baseball. It was then, too, that we joined the front hall parade and watched Hermie Goldstein perform. The initial event of our Junior year was the election of officers. Stanley Thiele was the first president; Bergliot Nissen. vice-president; Helen McCarthy, secretary, and Tom Morris, treasurer. A “Sunlight” was the first party given by the class. In December the Junior party came off very successfully. It was at this time that the athletic prowess of the class was established, especially in track. The stars were Stuart Baird, Emanuel Green, Stanley Thiele, Walden Balcom, and Joe Kingman. The most exciting elections of our high school course were the A Junior ones. These resulted in Waldon Balcom, president; Helen McCarthy, vice-president; Emanuel Green, treasurer, and Agnes Reed, secretary. W e united with the other organizations that spring and gave the Pan-Club Party. The last day of May, while it rained pitchforks and piano stools outside, the Junior Dance was given in the Gym. When we came back as Seniors in the fall of 1917, we greatly felt the influence of the war. Some of our classmates left for active service, strict economy was practised in everything, and the girls, under Miss Stevens, did iiiitiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiMiiiiumumiiiafliiiuiaauuDitiiuiiMiiiflintiiiiiBMnBBiiiii«iiymiiiDDtuutiauL l 84 ] .miiiKiaiiiiueEiiiBtHtBiiDr!tnMiniauiiiini iTi!ii!:iiniu:ii;. ;ti.. iliiiiiiiiiiicniiiitiiHiiiiRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiairiaHiiHniiimnuaiiiiiir: '� !!H' imp— a groat deal of Red Cross work. Stanley Thiele was elected II Senior president: Bergliot Nissen, vice-president; Shirley Parkluirst, secretary, and Forrest Os-l orn, treasurer. The class party was in the form of a ’‘Sunlight. ' Now our chief crimes were spreading scandal and eating ham sandwiches at Kinkle’s. hut we managed to spend a good deal of the time kidding Cameron, the Cop. The last term our officers were Mark Clarity, president; Helen McCarthy, vice-president; Agnes Reed, secretary, and Frank Broderick, treasurer. “The Amazons” was chosen as the class play and was a great success. The Class of June 18 was active in all branches of Central’s activities, and the four years have made many of us close friends. Our high school course has indeed been most profitable and enjoyable. In future years we shall never forget it. I 85 1 Class of January 1919 Y E have completed three years of high school—three years of the happiest days of our lives. Each year has found us increasing in wisdom. As Seniors we are well represented in athletic, literary, and social activities. We are now starting our fourth and last year. It is the home stretch; the last lap. Let us put forth our best endeavors to improve in our studies and take a larger part in our school activities so that we may be a credit to our school and leave a lasting impression upon its record. Austin Caswell, President. wmmmmmmmmmmmummmm itnmtiiiiinminMiintTimiiiiinTinMiHiitimnnn ! Class of June 1919 Dear Classmates: V7 E arc now entering upon the final year of our high school education. Kor three years past we have put our shoulders to the wheel and done our best to uphold the traditions of good old Central. At this time, however, we should pause and think even more seriously of the future than ever before, and while we should continue our student activities, we must work with increased determination for the coining year, striving towards those high ideals for which we stand as a nation. Your president, Clinton Gi.knny. I 87 J ■ immimuBimunimnai] Class of June 1920 fellow Classmates: V I£ have now entered upon our third year in high school. In the preceding two years we have been well represented in the various athletic, social, and literary activities of the school, but this is our first year as an organized class. Having just been organized we have not, as yet, shown our power, but we have a large and loyal class, and in the future we hope to come up to the high standards set by former classes of Central, and, if possible, surpass them. W e can do this only by putting forth our best efforts and doing everything that we undertake to the best of our ability. Then we will leave behind us a record of which we may be proud.

Careen HTHE football record of Central for the past eight years is not one that will make Central envied by any of her more fortunate rivals. This does not mean that when Central met her rivals the result was a foregone conclusion. Central’s lighting spirit, always in evidence and equal, if not superior, to her opponents, carried her dangerously close to several championships during this period, but the coveted joy and honor of winning the championship fell to Central's 1917 team. The early season dope gave Central not a ghost of a chance. Captain Fred Ballen- tine’s enlistment left the squad with no field general of proven ability. Baird. Clarity and Griffis were the only letter men to respond to the call. John Ballentine, Cyril Olson, S. Thiele. S. Lasley, II. Skobba. and Fred Grose showed ability from the 0 ' 0 start and were fixtures in every contest. From a squad of fifty or more desperately earnest warriors the team was gradually evolved. George Johnston became a fixture at center with Stuart Horr on his right and Clarence McWaync alternating with George Mepp on the left. Mark Clarity, veteran tackle, turned them back on the left, and Rudoph Olson was equally successful on the right. Fred Grose and Carl Gritteth alternated at left end, and Captain Grifiis proved himself the best high school end in the Twin Cities and certainly one of the best captains that Central has ever honored with the leadership of one of her teams. In the back field Cyril Olson proved an able successor to Fred Ballentine both in field generalship and in advancing the ball. John Ballentine and H. Skobba hit the line bullet-fashion, and Baird, Thiele, and Lasley were soon referred to as the fastest backs in the city. A practice game with St. Thomas College and another several weeks later with St. Paul Central convinced the Central supporters that the team had the punch and could “put it over.” The season opened with the Alumni winning a close game by a score I 93 ] of 6 to 0. On October 6. Central and North battled through four hard-fought quarters to a scoreless tie. The extreme inexperience of the team was clearly in evidence in this contest and in several instances proved almost disastrous. The team lacked the usual drive and spirit in this contest. It is just possible that the result might have been different, had the quarterback been given more freedom of choice of plays as in later contests. Several things stand out in the memory of those who saw the contest. Captain Griffis provided an exhibition of smashing up plays that was nothing short of spectacular. The injury to Clarity, which resulted in his loss to the team in the East contest, came as a dramatic climax to one of the hardest-fought battles of the season. On October 13. Central went “over the top” at East High and emerged with a narrow margin of victory, the score being Central 7, East 6. Though weakened by the loss of Clarity and McNVayne from the line-up. it was evident from the start that Central had hit her stride. East, too. showed a great drive and quickly rushed the ball over for a touchdown in the early minutes of the game. East 6, Central 0. Central came back, and in four spectacular plays in which Ballentine, Baird, and Cyril Olson figured strongly, pushed the ball over for six points. Ballentine added the point which proved the deciding factor in securing the championship for Central. The outstanding feature of the game was the work of Quarterback Olson, and the numerous penalties inflicted on the Central team after almost every successful play. Captain Griffis instilled fight into the team and was in every play, both on offense and defense. Ballentine showed improvement at fullback and was a demon on defense. The following Friday. October 20, Central faced the crisis of the season. South, after a weak start, came back strong against West and looked dangerous with eight veterans in the line-up. It would be difficult to find two teams more equally matched than these two. From the first whistle both teams seemed capable of scoring, and both displayed a stonewall defense. South was successful with the pass and the open game, while Central relied on off tackle dives and cross bucks to put it over. Neither team scored during the first half, though Central might have, had she not been unfortunate in the ruling of officials. Fullback Ballentine played a splendid game and firmly convinced the dopesters that he was the class of fullbacks for the All-City selection. This is equally true of Olson, Clarity, and Griffis. S. Easley’s playing at left half had the honor of making the winning score and also alternated with Olson. Ballentine. and Baird in rushing the ball up within striking distance of the goal. Rudolph Olson, playing his last game for Central, kept the defense together in fine style and never failed to open a hole for the backs. His loss was a severe blow to the power of the Central machine. A run from a punt-pass formation with C. Olson and Ballentine carrying the ball proved the best ground gainer. Clarence Hall replaced George Hepp in the third contest and made a decided tilt with everybody. Score—Central 7, South 0. [05] The final game with West was preceded by a two weeks’ rest which proved harmful to the physical condition of the team. A few of the fellows began to display traces of staleness. The result of the game was all that could be desired. Central winning easily by a score of 26 to 7. During the contest West made first down but once by rushing the ball, while the Central backs gained at will. Cyril Olson in fifteen trys made 244 yards, an average of 16 yards: Lasley out of four attempts gained 70 yards, an average of 17.5 yards; Baird tried thirteen times for a total gain of 101 yards, an average of 8.5 yards; Thiele carried the ball four times for 37 yards, an average of 9.33 yards; Ballentine plunged fifteen times for a gain of 87 yards, averaging 5.8 yards. This contest brought out the real worth of the Central backs: Thiele. Baird, and Lasley. The work of the entire back field in this contest was excellent. Quarterback Olson again proved the best ground gainer and open field runner, and had he been in better condition, the score would have l een larger. Central for the most part played straight football, the pass being used merely as a threat to spread the W est defense. The pass when used was usually successful. The quality of Central defense may be indicated by the fact that in their last six games only 19 points were scored against them. The total points scored against Central the past two seasons was 32. an average of four points per (fame. The prospects for 1918 are exceedingly bright. With John Ballentine captain and at least eight letter men on the squad, there is no reason why Central's 1918 team should not be even more successful than the 1917 team. The season was marked by a harmony between coaches and players that is seldom obtained. A large amount of credit is due to Magnus. Brook. Layher. and Throner of the Faculty, who assisted in the coaching, and to Funsette, who looked after the finances. Mr. Throner has worked out a system of checking equipment which has already saved us several hundred dollars. The University of Minnesota has a plan now under way whereby it expects to have the State football championship decided at Northrop Field after a series of district elimination contests have been held. This is bound to boom football next fall, and Central looks forward with a great deal of hope.

Practice meets were arranged, to develop new material and to give more experience in actual competition to the older athletes. Each meet was held in the gymnasium with a full set of officials and plenty of spectators. In the Novice Meet held December 8, several new men were discovered who showed very promising ability. On December IS. the youngsters showed their mettle in the All-Freshman Meet. The Freshman-Sophomore. December 20. and the Junior-Senior Meet. January 12. furnished the unusual, as in each case the younger classmen came out ahead. The Interclass Meet on January 25 repeated the standings, as the Juniors again won, with the Seniors. Freshmen, and Sophomores finishing in the order named. Two teams, the Red and the Blue, picked from all classes, fought for places on the regular team. February 2. These regulars met the alumni a week later. They were beaten by a wide margin, as might well be expected when such former athletes took part as Morhead, William and Rodney. Kelley, “Dick Fisher, Field. Bartholomew. Cantieny, Keidal, Zingg. Molt, and Dawson. The fact that many of the boys who competed at that time are now in the trenches, speaks well as to the practical side of track work. Fast was defeated 65 to 39 in the first regular meet on February 16. East and North were pitted against Central. March 2. Balanced team work gave 63 points to Central: Fast scored 44: North, 21. The best and closest meet on the indoor schedule was the West-Central Dual, March 9. By winning the relay. Central led with 55 points. West was only six behind. A week later, Central clashed with St. Paul Central, but lost 59 1-3 to 44 2-3. The team was fairly outclassed by St. Paul. The City Meet closed the indoor season, March 23. The teams were handicapped by the slippery dancing floor, but being the l est contortionists, the West runners won with a score of 43. followed by Central with 34. Fast 17. and North 11. The outdoor season proved conclusively two things: First, that St. Paul Central was the best Twin City team, and second, that Central was the champion of Minneapolis. There was no Northwestern Meet nor a Ilamlitie Relay Carnival, so the season was short. Central won 76 to 37 from Mechanic Arts on May 5. but was humbled May 12 by the veterans from St. Paul Central. 63-53. At the invitational meet held at Northfield. May 19. St. Paul Central won the Twin City Championship with 60} � points. Due to some peculiar “breaks,” Central took second with only 35} $. and West followed a close third with 33. But the true worth of a balanced team was proved at Northrop Field, May 26. Central scored more points than all the other teams put together and won the second leg on the City Cup. The score read: Central No. West 37. North 30, Fast 8. The six “C” men. Baird, Olson. C.r.vn. Thiele. Caswell, and H. Warrick, form a nucleus for the 1917-18 team that promises to place the City Cup in Central’s possession. [ 99 ] iiiiisiwiiuaiiiffiiiimiiiiiBmiianiiiinmifmimiintfiiHniitKiitfBUBWfflius nbmbnmoi Baseball Team BASEBALL By Guy Throncr DECAUSE of enlistment and farm work, the baseball season of 1917 brought forth the poorest brand of our national sport that the writer has seen in Minneapolis schools. Central started the season with nine new players. A veteran captain was lacking, and the blue and red team finished the season without a captain. This explanation should Ik made in all fairness to the men. who did their best. Their efforts gave us a chance, up to the two final games, to tie for the championship. The first game with South was a victory. 5-3. Jansen let South down with four hits. The batting of the Maxwells was responsible for four of the five runs. Against North. Noble pitched a fine brand of ball. He allowed two hits and deserved a shut-out. We won 6-1. Earl Maxwell came to bat in the fifth inning, with the bases full, and cleaned them with a triple. Elmer Johnson banged a home run in the eighth. At this stage of the schedule it looked as though we could capture our third successive championship. Hear the tale of woe. Jansen was out two weeks with the mumps. Hale enlisted in the Rainbow Division, and the (ilennv boys departed for the farm. The pitching staff and infield were wrecked. The loss was too great for the winning morale of the team. East was returned the victor in the next game. Her representatives batted out two triples, four doubles and eight singles for a total of twenty-three bases. Due to Kranz's spectacular work in left field the score was held to 9-0. In the next game with West the green and white scored their first victory over Central in three years. With their veteran battery they won 10-8. Tlu game was poorly played. South gave us a l eautiful drubbing. 20-3, in our next venture. If there is any baseball mistake that wasn’t committed in this game, we would like to know of it. North won the following game 8-5 in ten innings. Jansen had sufficiently recovered from his illness to pitch a steady game against East. Central won, 6-4. The last game of the schedule was won by West. 7-6. Up to this game we had broken even with all of the teams. The 1918 prospects are good because of the following “C men now in school: Capt. Larsen, second base; Tattersfield. catcher: Petterson. first base; Elmer Suderson. shortstop: Elmer Johnson, third base: Kranz and Masters, outfield. CROSS-COUNTRY ' I 'HE 1917 Cross-Country season was the most successful season Central A has had in years, l ecause of the spirit which prevailed in the team. The course was changed to Glen wood Golf Links, the course formerly being around the Lake of the Isles. This course was far superior to the former course, because the runners could l e seen the whole distance from the club house. Although the course was somewhat shorter, it was harder in that it was up and down hill. This was real cross-country, instead of road running. Our first meet was with East. Great honor is due to the teams running in sticking together, and because the captain was the only veteran. Capt. W arrick, aside from leading the runners, led his team to victory by a small score: Central 65, East 88. Our next meet was the triangular meet between Central. West, and East. The meet was to decide the City Championship. Again Central emerged victors by a comparatively small score: Central 142, West 150, and East 268. This gave Central the longed-for title of Champions of the city. Central had scheduled a dual meet with West, but it was postponed by that school so long that it was finally called off on account of the cold. The meets were late this year, being run off in the latter part of November. The men who made up the team were Capt. H. Warrick, C. Fifield, L. Gross, E. Ellison, H.

In all of the important matches in which Central’s team was a participant, she came out on the top of the list, and from this one can easily see that such a record speaks for itself. 'The fellows who gave their time and spirit in order that Central might add this honor to her long list of others were: Thomas Clark, captain; Leslie Johnson, Gray Vogelsang, and Wilfred Quinn.

Club, composed of Junior and Senior girls, A was organized to encourage higher ideals and to promote a spirit of co-operation among the girls of Central High. The keynote of the work this year has been “Service Girls have lx en sent weekly to the settlement houses, those members and teachers who have been ill were remembered by flowers or notes, the French baby was readopted, and the money saved by dispensing with refreshments was given to war relief. Through the open meetings and the work of the Big Sister Movement a spirit of fellowship has been created among all the girls of the school. The progress of the club gives evidence to the fact that each girl has felt the influence of the club and has adopted for herself its motto. “Growth. Education, Service.” Helen McCarthy, President. UHUilinilDIOnilllHraUllLjQllUIUll!] [ 107 ] Hi-Y Club We have passed a year of great interest. Under the leadership of our new Y. M. C. A. High School See ret ary, Mr. ! . Chapman, we have encountered many difficult problems and have worked them out to the best of our ability. We have kept in mind, always, the fact that rendering service for others is the best way to carry out the purposes of our club, which are: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character;” “to be of service to our school,” and “to encourage high school boys to further their education.” Our work has been carried on largely by having excellent speakers at our bi-monthly meetings. Some of the past year were K. II. Lauden-slager, Dr. F. W. Sweet, Leonard Paulson, W. F. Webster, Don 1). Leshoior, Don Timmerman, Dr. Charles W. Burns, Dr. Elmer A. Bess, Rev. Thomas W. Graham, Lee C. Raccy, F. W. Hcnckle, Rev. Win. I . Remington, Mr. Tremnin, and a few nf our own faculty, Mr. Greer, Mr. Boardman, Miss Probett, Miss Cameron, ami Mr. (’arson. Borne of the topics spoken on were: “ Cigarettes,’’ “The Place of the High School Boys in the War,” “America's Position in the War,” “ Y. M. C. A. War Work,” “If I Were A Boy Again,” “Boys’ Working Reserve,” “The Challenge of Christian Leadership,” ‘Sacrifice,” “It Pays to Advertise,” and a few “heart-to-heart” talks, which were very good. Some of the work taken bv the club was the Big Brother Movement, the Second-hand Book Exchange, the Handbook of Central High School, the Y. M. C. A. War Work Campaign (in which Central went over the top with $2,587.85 for Y. M. 0. A. War Work), the establishing of Thrift Stamp Selling Stations, about sixty in number, and the Friendship Campaign. Social events were the carnival, the joint meeting with West Hi-Y Club, and two Fathers and Sons meetings. A very interesting year, without question. The coming year will demand more and larger things from the Club. A more intense effort should be made to carry out the purpose. Service, the most noble of all things that a boy or man can give, should be the keynote of that effort. Every eligible boy in Central should try to become a service member of the Hi-Y Club, and stand behind the officers, so that a stronger, more efficient organization may be built up to carry on the work of the Master. The Seniors leaving the Club wish the members who remain, success and prosperity in all their undertakings. WILLIAM J. VOX ESCIIEN, President. Technical Club After passing through what has been its most uncertain period, the Technical Club is again on its feet and aide to do things. I he purpose of the “Tech” Club is to gain for its members an appreciation and a wider knowledge of the various industries and sciences. Meetings are held every week after school. We are either addressed by a representative of some well-known concern of the community, or else we visit some factory. Several efforts were made by the “Tech” Club to procure “Movies,” by means of which it was hoped to raise money enough to purchase a spotlight machine and some electrical apparatus for the school. These attempts, however, were not successful, due to the opposition of the local exhibitors. For the first half of the year the officers of the “Tech” Club were: President, Harold Harris; vice-president, Fred Archnmho; secretary and treasurer, Dana McCuteheon. The officers of the last half of the year were: President, Melville .1. Koiliner; vice-president, Kdward Sainmis; secretary and treasurer, Hubert Bezoier. May the “Tech” Club live long and prosper!

The material has been presented in a straightforward, businesslike manner, and the various departments—Exchanges, Caldendar, W hat Other Schools Are Doing, Alumni Notes, and Hits o’ News, as well as the joke and advertising sections— have been further perfected. Mr. 1). S. W hite was appointed Faculty Advisor at the beginning of the fall term, and under his direction the News has attained a greater degree of efficiency than ever before. W bile we realize that the News can be much improved, yet we feel that it has accomplished in a great measure many of those things for which it was first organized. Grandisox Eubank, Editor-in-Chief.

In order that Sophomores might become more interested in Latin l evond the second year, it was voted that the membership should include all Latin students except Freshmen. A series of programs for bi-monthly meetings was prepared for the year, these being well conducted under the leadership of Fernald Painter, June T 7. All but one of the meetings in 1916-1917 were of a literary nature. In May. however, at a regular assembly of the school body, tableaux from the Second Aeneid were presented. During the past year Principal McW horter of West High, Miss Fairfield of the Latin department at West, and Miss W illiams of Central’s English department gave addresses. Two plays in Latin, “A Latin Student’s Dream” and “Tironcs,” were presented, the latter being repeated by request at Central’s “At 1 lome night to parents. March 8. Tableaux representing scenes in mythology were given in March, which, by invitation of the Parent-Teacher Association, will be reproduced in the Auditorium in April.

The manager this term was Mr. Warrick. Besides giving a great deal of his time to the orchestra, he has also acted as coach of the track team. The organization lost a big friend this year, when Mr. Orsborn heeded the call of duty and left to enter under the service of the Y. M. C. A. He was our drummer and all-around assistant when he was with us. Orchestra members gave up their eighth period every day to help make the orchestra what it should Ik The three leaders and the members deserve a great deal of credit.

Leslie Anderson. The Cartoonist Club LAST fall a new club sprang into existence in Central High School. This was the “Cartoon Club of Central High,” or the C. C. C. Within one month the club had a membership of fourteen members, to which more names have been added. The purpose of this club is to help its members to judge between good and bad cartoons, to stimulate an appetite for good cartoons, and to increase the efficiency of its member cartoonists. Each week members bring in cartoons, which are criticized by the whole club. Many of the teachers, and also the “C. H. S. News,” have suggested topics for the weekly cartoons. Caricatures have also been made of the teachers. Take our word for it, it is fun to draw the different physiques of our beloved faculty. The club has held several contests, the results of which were published in the “C. H. S. News.” The best contest was the one on “Co-operation.” Three cartoons were picked out of the whole group and printed in the paper. Several lantern-talks have been given. The cleverest one was the talk given by Miss Witter on “Raemaker’s Cartoons. Members of the C. C. C. have also given many interesting talks about the cartoon world. The Centralian committee have greatly appreciated the work of the cartoonists in this issue of the Centralian. Raymond Baer, President, l no i The Glee Club PVURING the past year the (ilee Club has undoubtedly accomplished more than in previous years and has set a standard which will be hard to surpass. Its chief undertaking was Robert Planquette's comic opera “Rip Van Winkle,” presented on the 20th and 21st of February, just eighteen weeks after the books arrived. It was an unqualified success, musically and financially. An interesting incident is connected with the production. The l ooks were not to be had on this continent, so a cable to England was necessary. ( f eight ships that left Liverpool together, seven were torpedoed, the one with the books on board arriving safely. Some of the previous successes of the club are “Pauline, Bos’n’s Bride, “Pirates of Penzance.” “Mikado.” “Erminie,” “Creation. “Elijah, and “Messiah.” But it is not only in entertainments of the more pretentious sort that the ( dee Club has shown its worth. It has been willing and ready to sing whenever asked, giving many pleasant hours in our own auditorium and in churches of the city. Central owes the tireless, faithful workers of the ilee Club and their energetic leader. Sydney H. Morse, a hearty vote of thanks for the musical renown they have brought to the school. George R. Ti pper. President. ■■■■■■rouMrauaRiBiammimnfinnKinnniiiM l 117 1 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrn The G. A. A. ONE organization exists in this school to whose membership all girls, regardless of age. personal qualifications or classifications, are eligible. This organization, the Girls’ Athletic Association of Central High School, was formed in 1913 for the purpose of promoting and maintaining all forms of interclass athletics. As proof that it has accomplished its purpose, the association points to the fact that its membership is this year far greater than before. In connection with membership it is worthy of note that no one may compete in interclass athletics who is not a member in good standing of this association. Tournaments, tennis, volley ball, captain ball and indoor baseball are held and well attended. When the volley ball tournament closed last fall, the A Sophomores and B Seniors tied for championship. The deciding game was played off between the two teams, resulting in a victory for the A Sophomores. On March 7. the («. A. A. gave a party for the B Freshman girls. A good program was rendered, after which the girls adjourned to the lunch room, where ice cream was served. As this goes to print the indoor baseball season is just opening. W e expect a greater number of girls in competition this year than ever before. Mildred Bdxetii, President. I 118 1 THE BOVS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION lias had one of the most successful years in its four years of existence. This organization has no restrictions; its membership is open to all students. Its aim is to gain the support of the student body and stimulate interest in athletics. The association has complete control over all athletic activities in the school. Although each member has a voice in the governing of athletics, because of the size of the club it has been found necessary to elect representatives to a Board of Control. This Board also includes the captains and coaches of all teams, the athletic director of the school, and Mr. Greer. This year a material advantage has been offered to all members of the club in the form of a rebate on athletic tickets, which has proved a great success. Under the able supervision of our athletic director. Mr. Throner, the future of this organization is assured. Stuart Baird, President. The Swedish Club TO study closely and catch the essence of the character and culture of the Northland was the avowed purpose of the founders of the Swedish Club at Central High three years ago; believing firmly, as they did, that in no better way could they serve themselves and the community than by being instrumental in transferring what is healthiest and wealthiest in things Swedish into what is noblest and loftiest of American life and aspirations. The manner in which they proposed to carry out this purpose was to bring themselves, and every member of the club, into living contact with Swedish language and literature, customs, and songs in a way which a class room recitation can not give to a student, however receptive otherwise. This purpose has been closely adhered to in times past, and it is not deemed unworthy even now by the present administration and members. During the school year games have been played, songs rendered, plays performed, and inspiring speeches by both home and outside talent delivered. Fed by such fuel, the flames of true Americanism have been burning brighter and more ambitiously day by day. Raymond F. Ioiinson. President. I no 1 nraiiUini?J!![iuiiL jn!ffliin”J!!iiiruinni!iBiiii.ir3!!i The Players Club D LAYERS CLUB was organized two years ago for the purpose of studying the drama and producing plays. The membership is limited to fifty. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible. Meetings are held bi-monthly in the housekeeping suite. The club has enriched the school by a group of books consisting of plays and articles pertaining to the stage. One of the aims of the club has been to write plays. A skit written by one of the members was successfully produced at a vaudeville which was given in the fall. Another vaudeville was given February 27, which was very successful according to the receipts. The club owes a great deal to its three faculty advisors, Miss Morris, Miss W orks, and Mr. Carson. Ruth Cranston, President. The Viking Club npHE Central High School Viking Club came into existence in 1914, soon after the Norse department was established. Its purpose is to cultivate fluency in the use of the Norse language and to make Norse history, literature, and people familiar to the members. Next to English, Norse is probably one of the widest used commercial languages in the Northwest. There are abundant opportunities for Americans with business abilities who understand the Norse language and pepole. There is a chance also for a brilliant future for the Viking Club, for in the future the club will have a larger percentage of second and third term students, who should do the things worth while. As this goes to press, plans are being made for a Norse play. Mildred Boxeth, President. The Musicians Club I ’HE MUSICIANS’ CLUB was organized October 15, 1917, for the purpose of promoting and advancing the study of and interest in piano music. The membership at present numbers about twenty-five. Any student of the piano or any one interested in music is eligible. At each meeting a program is given by members of the club, and often well-known pianists and soloists visit and entertain us. This club is fortunate in having as faculty members Mr. Morse, Mr. White, and Miss Richardson. It is hoped that all students interested in music will join this club and enthusiastically help to make it a success.

Of course this will destroy the comforter, but it will also destroy the ache. Dip this piece of comforter into some kerosene until entirely saturated. Then push into cavity of the tooth and hammer it in firmly with a croquet mallet. This will immediately relieve the pain; whereas if you went to a dentist, besides relieving you of the pain he would relieve you of perhaps two dollars. If the kerosene leaves a bad taste in your mouth, it can be remedied by eating a small cube of lim-burger cheese or gargling with roof paint. The above remedy is infallible. One treatment is enough. Try it once and you will never try it again. FURNISHINGS OF AN INTELLECTUAL HOUSE A bureau of information. A table of contents. Seats of learning. Cabinet of diplomacy. Range of ideas.

Rush into the lunch room at full speed and run into everyone possible. 2. Never stand in line to get your lunch tickets; butt in ahead of everyone else. This helps to preserve order in the lunch room. 3. Never stand in line at the counter; nlways climb on the rail and yell for your lunch or get someone else to get it for you. 4. Go to the ice cream counter, get some ice cream and then come back later and say that you’ve decided you want candy instead. 5. When you have finished lunch, go back to the ticket desk ami say that you have been cheated out of two cents, and stay there until you get it. We guarantee that if you follow these directions you will either get a good lunch or lose your desire for one, which is just as good. Few women look like themselves in public.

He played truant, but you need not whip him for it, as the boy he played truant with and him fell out, and he licked .lames; and a man they threw a stone at caught him and licked him; and the driver of a car they hung on to licked him; and the owner of a cat they chased licked him.

He could not play marbles or football with the big Sophomores and Seniors, because he was not strong enough. The poor boy did not have more than a million dollars ami so there was danger of his starving to death. He ofttinies watched the little girls doing their knitting and he longed very much to be able to mingle with people as they were doing. One night little Archy (for that is the name we are giving him) wis sleeping. As the clock struck twelve, he was awoke. Lookiug up he saw a very beautiful fairy. Archy was dazzled at first, but soon he gathered nerve enough to moan, “What do you want?” The fairy daintily whis-pired, “I want to know what time it is.” Archy, now awake, breathed, “ ’Tis 12 o’clock.” The fairy, almost asleep, gasped, “I thought it was more than that.” But Archy nssured her that it was never more than that. In this world, clocks always start at 1 again. This was a case of love at first sight. The two sat still and talked for a while. Soon Archy interrogated, “How are a weak little Freshie like me able to do anything while in the midst of such large people! And how can I mingle with the girls!” The fairy sang, “Start tomorrow! Mingle with everyone and make friends. Buy a News and Centralian and support everything! Join as many organizations as possible! Practice track and other societies!” Archy followed out the fairy’s suggestion and in a week he was strong, rich, popular and had a girl. Moral —We haven’t any.
