Central was without a coach. _ Mr. Carson, who for many years had tutored Central’s teams in a wonderful fashion, had resigned. Mr. Tapp assigned Mr. La Fromboisc to the squad temporarily and he had charge of it until September 26, when Mr. Mitchell tex k charge of the first squad, with I.a Fromboise handling the seconds. With but two weeks before the North game in which to get the team into shape. Mr. Mitchell put the squad through a half mouth of strenuous practice, and when they trotted out upon North's field, they appeared as a championship organization from start to finish. “Mitch’’ had plenty of material from which to pick his 1919 “bunch. and lie started the North game with a veteran combination: Captain Rasmussen at . center; Sterner and Hall, guards; Miller and Woolery. tackles; Norton and McGovern, ends; Hale, quarter; Grose and Skobba, halfs; and Kyllingstad, fullback. In the first game of the season at North High field. Central met and defeated North, for the first time since 1912, 13-0. North kicked off and Central started a drive down the field, substantial gains by both Grose and Skobba brought the ball to North’s 15-yard line. Hale carried the ball around left end. and. with perfect interference, made a touchdown. Skobba kicked the goal. This ended the scoring for a while. During the second and third quarter the play was mostly in midfield, neither team having an advantage. In the fourth quarter, however, Grose intercepted a forward pass, and steady gains bv Skobba and Kyllingstad brought the ball to North’s 13-yard line. Skobba gained eight through center, Grose four, and then “Fritz put it over. Skobba missed the goal. The final score was 13 to 0 in favor of Central. Friday, October 17, Central met and defeated East at Nicollet Park—20 to 7. East started out in a whirlwind fashion and carried the ball down the field, making gain after gain, and before the Central players were aware, had obtained the only touchdown scored on them all season. This, however, was only the case of the first quarter, because Central’s combination soon got together, and before the half was over the score was 13 to 7 in Central's favor After repeated gains by Kyllingstad. Grose, and Skobba. Skobba put the oval over. Ballentine missed the goal. Central kicked oft' to East, and as they could not gain, Engen attempted to punt, but Norton blocked it and raced down the field for the other touchdown. This time Ballentine kicked the goal. In the second half. Central kept the ball almost entirely in East's territory, and in the last quarter Hale slipped around the end for a 20-yard run and a touchdown. Ballentine finished the good work. Jimmie Taylor proved himself a mainstay on Central’s line by his playing in this game. Grose, I lale. Woolery. Ballentine. Rasmussen, and Taylor were Central’s stars, while Engen and Nelson played the best for the Eastsiders. On Friday, October 24. Central’s warriors met and defeated South at their I 13 J ru A-iu 7=1 r j field, 6 to 0. The game was played in a drizzling rain. Central’s stand was packed more than it had been in any of the previous games, and the rain did not stop them from cheering their team to victory. During the first quarter both teams carried the ball, but neither team was able to gain an advantage. Central kicked off, and South received, but failed to gain. The second quarter, however, was different. Archer carried the ball around right end for a good gain. Grose bucked the center for four and carried the ball around left end next time for first down. Skobba then took the ball for a gain, and Grose again hit South's line for first down. Then came that pretty forward pass. Archer to Skobba. with which Skobba scored the lone marker of the game. The score at the end of the half was 6-0. In the third quarter Johnny Ballcntine was the feature of Central’s play. South kicked off, and time after time lie carried the ball, always gaining from four to ten yards at a try. During this period the ball was almost continually in South's territory, and the only thing that enabled South’s team to withstand this strong attack was Swanson’s punting. In the last quarter the play resembled that of the first nearly all the time, each team carrying the ball, only to be held by the other and forced to punt. The nearest that South got to Central's goal was our 25-yard line, and then Central held like a stone wall. Mitchell's men were coached to watch South’s forward passing and they did. South attempted fifteen times to forward, but did not complete a single one. For Central on the line, Captain Rasmussen, Taylor, Hall, and Woolery were the stars, while in the backfield Archer, Grose, Ballcntine, and Skobba played well. After two weeks’ rest. Central defeated West at Nicollet Park 14 to 0. School spirit seemed to prevail among the spectators, and when the teams began to play, both of them seemed to be boiling over with the lighting spirit to win. The muddy field prevented the Central team from defeating their rivals by a larger score, but it was an interesting battle. For Central, Grose, Hale, Captain Rasmussen, and Hall starred. The victory over West was the fourth straight win and gave Central the city championship with a clean slate. South defeated Mechanic Arts, champions of St. Paul, and Central in turn defeated South, giving Central the twin city championship. With Clarence Hall as a leader of Central’s 1920 warriors, and with Ballen-tinc, Norton, Hale, and Erling back. Central has a good outlook for the 1920 championship. f n j Weston W. Miteliell MITCH, one of the best prep-school coaches in the Northwest, coached two championship teams at Central this year, an honor which is very seldom achieved by any high school coach in his career. He spent many hours this fall in rounding into shape one of the best football teams that has represented Central in years. He also coached the 1920 basketball squad which established itself as one of the best prep-school fives in the United States by the showing at the Chicago tournament. Mitch is an all-around good fellow, and every fellow who has worked under him gives him the credit of being a wonderful coach. (is) I 16 1 H.'iskcthall ENTRAL'S 1920 basketball season has been a very satisfactory one from everyone’s standpoint. Starting the season, the team had veterans in Captain Norton. Miller, Clymer. Ross, and Boyd and also the services of Weston Mitchell as their coach. The additions to this squad were Edwards, Fleming, Kyllingstad. and Rivers, who proved to he a great help to the team. The first round of the high school play began January 9. with Centra! playing .North at North, and East playing W est at W est. Central won 14 to 7. hut team work was lacking, and the quint was worrying whether, under such conditions, they would be able to take the strong South five into camp. However. Coach Mitchell sent his men through a week of intensive practice, and when South stepped out on to Central’s floor the next Friday, January 16. Central appeared as a wholly different organization. Central defeated the 1919 champions 18 to 15 and proved to everyone that they were to he counted on for the 1920 title. This game was witnessed by the largest crowd ever known in high school lxisketball history, over two thousand j eoplc crowding the gymnasium. Captain Martin Norton and Karl Miller stood out as Central’s stars in this contest. Norton made ten out of fourteen free throws and two field goals, having a total of fourteen out of the eighteen points obtained. Miller broke up many South plays and proved himself to be one of the standing guard in the city. W est’s strength was unknown, hut it mattered little, as she received the short end of a 28 to 18 score for Central’s third straight win. Theodore Clymer was injured in a practice game with Dunwoody, and Ray Ross, Central’s little forward. with the help of Captain Marten Norton, Boyd and Edwards, kept the W est guards busy. The East game played at the North gymnasium proved to he easy for Central, as the 27 to 7 score indicates, hut the game was slow and ragged, and rough playing marred the game. At the end of the fir t round of play, Central stood out in front with four victories without a setback. The second round of play began with Central playing North at Central and West meeting East at North. North had improved a great deal since her first game with Central, and a hard tussle followed, but Central won by a score of 15 to 13. Central was in the lead during the whole game, hut the North fellows were game fighters, and the team was not sure of the victory until the final pistol shot was heard. Norton, of course, was the star for Central, hut Mason of North played a great game for the Northsiders. Miller and Boyd both played an exceptionally good game, the latter caging a nice shot from hack of the foul line during the third quarter. At the next game with South on her floor. Central received her first and only defeat of the season. The game was fast and cleanly played, hut a strange floor told the story, and Central tasted defeat in a 19 to 15 score. The following week, the quint journeyed to West High for a little game which Central easily won by a score of 19 to 7. Captain Norton, Ross and Boyd were the stars on the offense, while Miller played his usual steady guarding game. The last game of the season was played with East on our own floor. Our team enjoyed a little football and basketball mixed, the play stopping only when Central wanted to shoot a basket. The final score of the game was Central 26 and East 6. Captain Norton. Boyd and Clymer were the stars for Central on the offense, while Karl Miller administered a few football tactics to the smaller East forwards. Central and South had been tied for first honors, but South met her second defeat at the hands of the North quint on the latter’s floor by a score of 11 to 10, which gave Central the 1920 city championship. As Central defeated the Mechanic Arts five in a game on their own floor by a score of 45 to 23, they were conceded the twin city title also, because Mechanic Arts were the champions of St. Paul. However, at the close of the season, the team was invited to represent the twin cities in one of the greatest basketball tournaments that has ever been held in the United States, at the University of Chicago. After a few weeks of discussion, it was decided to send the team to the tournament, and the following men made the trip: Coach Mitchell. Captain Norton, Karl Miller. Theodore Clymer, Ray Ross, Gordon Boyd. Joseph Fleming. Vernon Kyllingstad, Thomas Rivers, and the student manager, John Van Camp. The team left for the windy city without the services of their star center, but Central’s fighting spirit kept them in the running, and they proved themselves to be Xme of the best high school fives in the United States. They played their first round game with Hyde Park, high school champions of the Chicago schools, and emerged the victors by a score of 21 to 19. The next day they met and defeated Ishpeming. Mich., champions of Northern Michigan, by a score of 22 to 16. This left the team as one of the six who were to compete in the third round. Central was scheduled to play Crawfordsvillc Ind., champions of Indiana, for the right to play in the finals, and they lost this game by a score of 21 to 16, but they never lost their fighting spirit. It was decided that Central was to play Boone, Iowa, champions of Iowa, for fourth place, which they did. defeating the Boone team by a score of 12 to 9. It is impossible to tell of the wonderful time that the members of the team had on this trip, but it will never be forgotten by any of them. For winning fourth place. Central was awarded a silver loving cup, and individual silver medals for each member of the team. At the close of the season, the team was entertained at a banquet given by the Boys’ Club, and seven members of the team and Mr. Mitchell received gold basketballs from the club in appreciation of the wonderful work and honors which they had brought to Central High School. The support which the team received from the student body was appreciated, and it helped the fighting spirit of the players. Central can look forward to a very successful year of basketball next year with Captain Norton, Clymer. Edwards, and Fleming back. I is j Swimming BARNARD JONES and company brought Central second place in the 1920 Minneapolis aquatic circles. The big meet of the year was the state interscholastic clash in the M. A. C. tank, December 13. Central won fourth place, being pitted against the pick of the state. Barnard Jones placed in the 100-yard swim, 220, and swam on the relay, which copped third. Fred Grose captured a point in the dives and was a link in the relay chain. Frank Bessessen swam second in the 100-yard breast stroke. The West-Central dual was the last meet of the season. Jones and Stahr did the bulk of the Central work, although other Central “fish' won a letter through placing on this date. West, winning the last event on the program, won by only four points. Tom Sands was captain of the 1920 team, Jones having withdrawn in his favor. M. Skobba and W. Roberts, beside those mentioned, were Central’s representatives in the water sport. 11� 1 f 20 J Haseball CENTRAL’S 1919 baseball nine finished in second place in the 1919 scholastic race, the same as the 1918 team. The Red and Blue, except for three unfortunate defeats, proved itself to be the best in the city. Mr. Throner issued the first call for practice early in April, and besides Captain Glenny, Clifford Glenny, Harry Masters, Jimmie Peterson, Ray Archer. Meredith Barrett, and Theodore Clymer, veterans, many other fellows turned out to earn a place on Central’s nine. After practising for two or three weeks, Throner’s nine met and defeated North at North Commons 12-2. Archer on the mound for Central struck out eleven men and allowed North but two scattered hits. Archer, besides pitching a wonderful game, made three hits, while the Glenny brothers made two apiece. The Central boys proved themselves to be a heavy hitting aggregation, slamming out thirteen bingles to North's two. The next game was played at South field against W est, Central losing 6-4. Archer, hurling for Central, issued the West boys their base on balls six times and two were hit by pitched balls, three of these resulting in unearned runs for W est. They also received two more unearned runs on errors by Clifford Glenny and Clymer. Jimmie Peterson was Central’s hitting star, with a single and a two-bagger that drove in two of Central’s runs. Central was defeated by South 8-6 in their next game, which proved to be a very interesting battle. Archer, pitching for Central, held the South men to five hits until the ninth, when South started a rally and netted five runs, winning the game. Loken, South’s pitcher, struck out twelve Central batters and besides connected for a two-bagger and a triple. Masters was Central’s star with three hits to his credit, while Bill Fox. who batted for Jones in the ninth, drove out a neat two-bagger. Central again met and defeated North at South High field 13-0. Fox. pitching his first game for Central, allowed North but three scattered hits and no one on the North team reached second base. Central’s team played errorless ball, the feature of this being the double play Glenny to Clymer to Peterson. Captain Glenny and Roy Anderson were Central’s star batters, with two hits apiece. W est again defeated Central at South High field, this time in a twelve-inning tussle 4-3. Fox started on the mound for the Red and Blue, but West scored two runs in the sixth on two hits by Gambil and Jacobson and a wild throw over first base by Fox. Masters, pitching for Central the last six innings, allowed West but one single until the twelfth, when Countryman drove in the winning run with a neat single over short. The feature of this game was the hitting by Captain Glenny. John Jones, and Roy Anderson who drove out the only home run of the season in the third inning. t 21 } Central won the game from East by a score of 3-0 at East High field, proving themselves to be the strongest nine in the city. Masters on the mound for Central held the East men to two scattered hits, and only one East man reached third base. The feature of the game was the steady fielding of the Central team and their ability to hit in the pinches. In the seventh inning Captain Glenny walked, Masters sacrificed him to second and Clymer sent him home with a two-bagger. Roy Anderson, Central’s star batter, connected for a double in the eight and Captain Glenny arrived at first on Guzy's error; and then Johnny Jones cracked out a neat single, scoring “Andy” and Glenny. Central again defeated the much-touted East nine 4-0 at South High field, practically cinching the championship for South. Masters pitched a wonderful game for the Red and Blue, allowing East three scattered hits. Central made their four runs in the first inning; “Andy” walked. Archer singled, sending “Andy” to third; Captain Glenny singled, scoring Anderson, and sending Archer to third. Captain stole second and then Jones hit a pretty two-bagger to left center, scoring Archer and Glenny; but that was not enough, so Jimmie Peterson drove a single over shortstop, scoring Jones. Then four runs seemed to be plenty, for, with the Central team playing errorless ball, the East boys had no chance to score. Throner's 1919 bunch was not satisfied when they had shut East out for two straight games when they were leading the race, but defeated and shut out South in the last game of the season at South High field 3-0. Masters, Central’s star hurlcr, again pitched a fine brand of ball for Central, allowing the South boys three scattered hits. In the first inning “Andy” walked. Archer sacrificed him to second. Glenny singled, scoring Anderson, Captain stole four bases on Gagnon, the South catcher. Johnny Jones in this game was Central’s star batter, connecting for two neat singles. Central proved to all the followers of 1919 baseball that she had the best team in the city and but for three unfortunate errors would have been champions. Central won her last three games, two from East and one from South, proving to all rooters that she should have had the 1919 baseball championship. However, Central landed in second place next to South, for whom they won the championship by shutting East out twice. Central had the credit for four shutouts, two from Hast and one from North and South; no other high school had the honor of even winning one shutout game. Roy Anderson led the team in batting, hitting an average of 370 for the season, followed by John Jones with 361. Masters, besides pitching the last three games in a wonderful way, hit 350, Captain Glenny 311, followed by Archer with 276 and Captain-elect Peterson who hit 273. Central has high hopes for a championship team in 1920 with Captain-elect Peterson, Masters. Lamphear, Clymer, Roy Anderson, Ray Ross, and Clifford Glenny, all letter men from last year. I 22 ] Tennis CENTRAL’S 1919 tennis team, consisting of two veterans. Captain Leslie Johnson and Roy Anderson, won the championship of the city. Central defeated St. Paul Central in their first match on the Powderhorn courts, 3-2. Captain Johnson and Anderson easily won from their opponents in both their single and double matches, while the St. Paul boys won one single match from A1 Skoglund and a double match from Carl Cat on and A1 Skoglund. In the city meet. Roy Anderson went to the finals with little trouble, winning three straight matches. Captain Johnson won his first two matches, but because of illness was unable to play Roy Anderson for the city title; however, what matters—they are both Central fellows. Captain Leslie Johnson, for the second time in two years, captured the Northwestern Interscholastic High School title for Central, winning another silver loving cup for our trophy case. The members of the team receiving their letters were Captain Leslie Johnson, who won a major “C with a star, and Roy Anderson, who received a minor “C.” Central’s hopes for the 1920 team are high because of the presence of Captain Roy Anderson, Carl Caton, and Martin Norton, all veterans. Big results may be justly expected from them this year. LIBRARY „t«TKAL HIGH SCHOf ( 23 ) MR. THRONER is Central’s faculty manager of athletics and baseball coach. Since he has coached the baseball team. Central has stood in first or second place. Last year, he built up the team so that they whipped the champion South team 3-0 in the final game. Much credit for the good showing of the team last year is due to him. as is the performance of this year’s team. Track THE 1919 season of track was somewhat of a slump in the usual strong showing of cinder path wearers of the Red and Blue. The squad, having only a small percentage of the strength of the 1918 Central champions, was greatly handicapped from the first by Ethelbert Warrick’s resignation. Coach Warrick is a coach of much repute and has turned out many championship track teams. Lieutenant Allen, formerly Mr. Throncr’s assistant in gym work and an aviator, immediately filled the gap and piloted Central’s material into the first three places of the season. West, North, and Central finished in the order named. Fred Grose, star all-round track performer, was elected captain. With Grose. Norton. Ryersc, Fleming, La Fontaine. Towler. Idzal. and Brown placing during the meets. Central by no means went down to humble defeats. The wonderful Nauscd-Grosc race of the Central-North meet will not be soon forgotten by its spectators. Xaused’s win by a very close margin gave his school a 6-point victory—the score being 59-53. West won by a good margin, while South was humbled 83V4-28 in a meet in which Fred Grose played the stellar part. Important cinder path dates in which Central was concerned were the Northwestern at Xorthrup field, the Carleton meet of May 31. and the triangle with St. Thomas and St. Paul Central. In the first event. Central finished sixth; in the second, the placing of Grose. Idzal, Xorton, and Towler gave the Red-Blue school the fourth notch; while it ran a close second in the three cornered meet. f -� 4 j I 23 | n ??=iu7=irNj Halvor Rasmcsskn, Captain “Rass” had ali the qualities of a good captain; a star at his | osition. a fighter, and could make his team fight. He was one of the best centers ever developed in Minneapolis high schools and all-city center two seasons. “Rass” will not he with us next year, as he graduates. Central will miss him. Ray Archer As a quarter-back, “Lefty” made a great success. He was an accurate passer and used unusually good judgment in choice of plays. Joe McGovern Joe was an end hard to beat and very little ground was ever made around Joe’s end. Joe will not be with us next year, and his place will be hard to fill. John Ballextine John is considered one of the best all-around football players ever developed in the city. He could kick, hit the line, and was a great open field runner. Just ask anyone from South. I 1 26 1 I Harold Skobba One of tlie most dependable men who ever wore a football suit. He could kick, bit the line and run the end. Is it any wonder lie was picked all-city half with all these qualifications? James Taylor ••Jim’s first year as a football player was a great success. He was considered one of the best guards in the city, and we shall surely miss him next fall. Clifford Glknny An end of all-around ability. lie could catch passes with great skill and also stop anything coming his way. Frank Hale All-city quarter and some little quarter. Hit the line, could pass, run the ends and use good judgment. What more could one ask? Dick will be back next year and great things are expected of him. I n 1 Earl Woolery This was first, and also last, year at Central, and as a tackle he had no equal in the city. He was the unanimous choice for all-city tackle, and if he could play next year, prospects would look-great for Central. Marten Norton Not so very large, but a great end. ‘Worts’’ first year at football, and he made all-city end. He is not only fast, but a very steady player. He is an open field runner of unusual ability. Next year keep your eye on Norton. Fred Grose The fastest half-hack in the city, a wonderful defensive player. In fact, Fred will cause a gap in our team hard to fill. Fred was all-city “half.” Clarence Hall, Captain-elect All-city guard two seasons, small, but oh! what a scrapper. He always put a lot of pep into the rest of the team. Lefty” will make some captain. [ 28 i Karl Miller Karl had all that a good tackle should have and a little more. Me stopped plays before they were started. 11 is playing in the South game was great. This was Karl's last year, but he can look back to it as his best. Vernon Kvllingstad —Hit the line like a bullet and caught punts with unusual skill. lie has the reputation of having never been held for a loss. His playing in the West game was little short of wonderful. Doraxce Ryerse Dobe was second high point winner of the season. He came within a half-inch of breaking the school broad jump record. besides being a high jumper and dash man of ability. Fred Grose Fred was all-around athlete, competing in three major sports. He was a good captain and one of the fastest men in the city on the cinder path. Foster Edwards Our all-city center. “Fos” will be with us next year and should have his own way at center against any team. T11EODORE Cl Y M ER —Can shoot, play the floor, and has the lighting spirit that wins. His playing in the Hvde Park game at Chicago was brilliant. Ted wil be with us again next year. Gordon Boyd Little, but oh, what scrapper. His basket shooting was accurate, and he certainly could pass. Martin Norton Captain Norton is considered one of the best high school basketball players in the country. He can short pass, guard, and as a dribbler he is second to none. “NortM was guard on the all-prep conference team. I 30 ) 1 r Ray Ross The smallest and fastest in the local race. Ray's best was against West. It was his playing that gave us the lead. Vernon Kylli n gstad Accurate on short shots and also a good stationary guard. His best game was against East. Joe Flemming The youngest man ever to win a major letter at Central. Joe has a wonderful future and his part as a basketball player is beyond reproach. Tom Rivers Tom is the boy who helped win against Hyde Park. His playing in this game was his best. [ 31 ] Captain Clint Glenny Cap got them all, high, low, to the right as well as to the left. He was the fastest and best infielder developed in high school circles for many years. Show us his superior. In addition to his fielding. Clint was a dangerous batter, fast base runner, an excellent captain, and a thorough gentleman. C A I’TA IN - ELECT JIM M IE PeTERS ) N Jimmie is the most reliable keystone man in town. His predominant quality is steadiness. His three years’ experience should be a large factor as leader of the 1920 aggregation. Harry Masters Harry established a record by pitching three successive shut-outs in as many starts. He trimmed East 3 to 0 and 4 to 0. South was shut out in the last game 3 to 0. We hope he starts this season where he left off in 1919. John Jones “China” was the fastest outfielder in the game last season. He covered two or three acres in center field and distinguished himself at bat. There was little to choose between Jones’ and Anderson’s batting. Jones bats left-handed and is good in the pinches. Clifford Glenny Cliff is the first really good third baseman that has represented Central for many years. He played errorless ball all season and went after everything. Watch him go this year. Roy Anderson After scrubbing a year. Roy made a sensational batter and outfielder. He shared batting honors with John Jones. Roy’s average for the season was .384. He bats left-handed. Billy Fox Billy had the distinction of pitching the fourth shut-out victory for Central. He defeated North 13 to 0. He will be heard from in amateur circles with more experience. Walter Lamphear Wally has his best career ahead of him. In the few opportunities that he had, lie acquitted himself well. His catching in one of the Bast games left little to be desired. I 33 j Ray Ross Ray had the nerve to go after Capt. Glenny’s job at short, and what is more, made his letter at this position, while Capt. was laid up with an injury. Ray should be a valuable man this year. I .A WHENCE LaFoUNTAINE “Babe was at his best in the 220-yard dash last year and made some fast time in the other sprints. John Towler Towler was one of the best hurdlers in the city. He could also broad jump, sprint, and high jump and was a big help on Central’s team last year. Captain Tom Sands Though Tommy was not able to swim on account of his sickness, he helped the team immensely and undoubtedly would have brought to Central a championship title hut for his misfortune. I 34 j Barnard Jones Barnard, for the second time in two years, was the premier swimmer of the 1920 team. His swimming was the bright feature of every meet in which Central participated. Frank Bessessen This is “Bess’s” second year on the team and lie showed his ability by winning second place in the State Interscholastic meet. Frank is to be back next year.

The curtains opened, revealing the first act of Alfred Collier’s comic opera, an old English hop garden of the 18th century with its quaint “lads and lasses.” A large part of the success must be attributed to the delightful voice of Cecelia Nelson in the title role. As Dorothy, she showed marked ability as an exponent of histrionic art. Geoffrey Wilder, her devoted lover, was none other than Kirk Holmes, our star tenor. The leanness of his purse and the superabundance of his love were his failings. However, he emerged happily. The part of Dorothy's cousin and faithful companion. Lydia Hawthorne, was well portrayed by Maurice Willard. Lydia and Dorothy were constantly and alternately admired both as peasants and ladies. Harry Sherwook, Wilder's best friend, was exceedingly well p’ayed by Elton Clothier. A notable feature of the opera was his effective singing and acting. Llewellyn Pfankucheti as the irresistible sheriff’s officer was the delight of the audience. His provincial awkwardness and buffoonery brought tears of merriment to many a dry eye. Pearl Losev, the eccentric dame whose proffered heart and hand proved a trying thorn in the path of duty of the minion of the law, was genuinely mirrored. The gracious and hospitable Squire Bantam, the father of Dorothy, was very acceptably presented by Neal Mannercaud. Especially well interpreted was the part of John Tuppett by Kenneth Ferguson. Tom Grass, the green and rustic lover of Phyllis Tuppett, is commonly known in every-day life as Roger Egilstad. Synette Swenscn played exceedingly well the part of Phyllis Tuppett, the sweet and winsome object of Tom’s affections. The part of Lady Betty, the beautiful guest of the Squire, was well taken by Emily Jarvis. The work of the chorus is to he praised. The substantial foundation laid by their effective singing and support as the lords and ladies of that eventful period deserves great credit. Sufficient praise can not be given Sidney H. Morse for his unceasing efforts and comj etent direction. [ 49 ] ELMBLV SPEAKERS ] I H. SOTHERN HONORS CENTRAL AT ASSEMBLY MEMORIAL SERVICES C. H. S.

Added to this momentous omen was the good luck sign on the Centralian Day Program. The acts were exceptional, for how would it be otherwise with a committee in charge consisting of such notables as Howard Barker. Edward Sammis, and Dorance Ryersc. Joe Daunt of the silver tongue was pilot of the affair. The three shimmiers. Fletcher, Latta, and Roney danced (?) through the first act. After the sweet notes of the beautiful mezzo soprano, Josephine Bernstein, had died out, the Janitorial Four took the stage in a blowout of laughter. The one-ring circus of Bungling Brothers, put on by the boys’ Club, was a show in one ring, but enjoyed by the whole ring of spectators. After the rest supposed to have been given by the Oriental Jazz Band, the A B C’s of Advertising was explained by the Spanish Club. Pep Brothers, Koon Komedians, brought back a remembrance of the seventeen cent seats at the Orpheum. Songs by “Peg and Jean” finished the program in a blaze of glory. But the celebration was not over, for the dance remained. At the close of the dance, the fun was over for the day to most of the students. I it 1 -Mi ? rp?7=iU7=irvi THE CHEMISTRY TOUR6-6-0- z=t-n| December 1019 Class History LIKE most great men and institutions, our class had a humble beginning. Back in January, 1916, on one of those dreary, madc-for-slecp mornings, we arrived at Central, a group of verdant sprouts from everywhere. At first we served as mere playthings for the upperclassmen and were made to execute all manner of stunts from “buying lockers’' to “sweeping out the lunch room.” However much those old juniors and seniors (peace be to their memory) tormented us. they were compelled to admit that the day of our arrival was an auspicious one for the history of Central. During our freshman and sophomore years we grew in wisdom and stature. Since exercise is conducive to the uplift of the young, we were given a vigorous course in both mental and physical training. Miss Phillips presided over our algebraic gymnastics. Miss Snyder ami Mr. White over the Latin. Miss Crounse ruled in matters of “king's English,” physical gymnastics were duly administered by Miss Spore and Mr. Throner, while the former principal, Mr. Greer, was head drill master over all. Under such a noble galaxy of trainers it is not surprising that we blossomed rapidly. (Seniors are permitted to use a | oetic license.) Then came our junior year, long anticipated, and with it the first elections. After choosing Fred Grose pilot of our ship of state, we made Elizabeth Laws vice-president, Jean Wilson secretary, and Paul Souders treasurer. At this time war claimed many of the boys of our class, and we were represented in every branch of the service. The following spring brought elections again. The new officers were Clifford Glenny, president; Helen Lasley, vice-president: Mary Jo Moorhead, secretary; and Dick Balch, treasurer. Parties, athletics and flu” were the principal events of our junior year. Seniors at last! With an eye on the prominent members, the class selected Fred Grose for the presidency and Helen I isley for the vice-presidency ; Margaret Keenan became secretary, and Dick Balch treasurer. Barrie’s “Quality Street” was our final triumph as the class play. Under the direction of Miss Williams it was a huge success. William Fox made an excellent hero and Dorthea North an attractive heroine. Class day fell on December 8. and commencement on December 12. Valedictory honors went to Catherine Campbell and the Salutatory to Jessie Ravitch. Now as we scatter into the world, some of us to college, some into business and other of life's many ways, we reflect upon those “dear dead days” and almost wish we could summon them back. Our class memorial will remain as a permanent token of our affection for Central. “Wherever we may go and whatever we may do.” the class of December. 1919, will be to its Alma Mater “Semper Fidelcs.” Class of December 1919 Most popular f irl - FIRST CHOICE -Helen Lasley SECOND CHOICE Dorothea North Most popular boy - - - Fred Grose Roland Fletcher Most courteous girl - - Elizabeth Laws Catherine Cleary Most courteous boy - - Fred Grose Leslie Hilliard Rest looking girl - - Dorothea North Helen Lasley Rest looking boy - - Kola n d Fletc h er William Fox Most generous girl - -Dorothy Adams I'.lizabeth Laws Most generous boy - -Fred Grose Donald Gibbs Rest dressed girl - Velma Mericle Dorothea North Rest dressed boy - -Roland Fletcher William Fox Rosiest looking gtrl - -Jfssie Ravitch Wilma Wingham Busiest looking boy - -Russell Meyerand Harry Hall Quietest girl - - - -Wilma Winch am Margaret Keenan Quietest boy - - - -Rollin' Hughes C11 ESTER J K N NIN GS Rest bluffer - - - - -Velma Mericle Margaret Kelly Rest bluffer - - - - -William Fox Justin Hayes Rest fussee - - - - - Jean Wilson Dorothea North Rest fusser - - - - - Kola k d 1'letc i i kr William Fox Cirl who talks most - - Jessie Ravitch Dorothy Adams Boy who talks most - -Kenneth Murphy Harry Hall Most studious girl - - -Katherine Campbell Jessie Ravitch Most studious boy - - -Richard Balch Russell Meyerand Wittiest girl - - - -Velma Mericle Dorothy Adams Wittiest boy - - - -Justin Hayes Kenneth Murph Rest all-around girl - -Helen Lasley Dorothy Adams Best all-around boy - - Fred Grose Roland Fletcher I :� « ) EAR CLASSMATES: W’c have at last finished our high school work. The time that we have been looking forward to, has finally come; but we have found that it is not such a joyous occasion after all to give up all the associations and privileges that we have enjoyed while in Central. We must now begin at the bottom again, whether we go out into the business field or enter college or the university. Wherever wc go, we must remember to take advantage of the schooling received while at Central. Wc did not receive all of our knowledge from books, for the momentous struggle which has been partially cleared up has taught us much about life and what our duty is to be in the future as citizens of the United States. Our teachers are to be gratefully remembered for the aid which they have given in preparing us for the future work. May wc always look back upon our days at Central with happiness and strive to uphold her reputation by our work. Sincerely, Your President, Fred H. Grose.

[ 67 J •• QUALITY STREET,” the charming play of the December 1919 class, was given December 5th before an extremely appreciative audience. When the curtain rose at 8: 15, a dear little blue and white room was disclosed. Everything was blue and white—except the old maids of Quality Street, who appeared pink and white—and other colors. 'Phe story concerns the trials of two dear Quaker maidens who are forced to make their own living until the return of the hero, Valentine Brown. Dorothea North made a very demure and really “delicious” Quaker maid Added to this bundle of prettiness some splendid acting and topped with some quaint costumes, the result was—Miss Phoebe Throsscl. Acting honors were equally divided between Dorothea North and Catherine Cleary. The latter was the sweet old maid sister of Miss Phoebe, whose only thought in life was to be “ladylike” at all times. She brought laugh after laugh bv her bird-like movements. The Misses Willoughby and Miss Henrietta Turnbull, played by Mary Conroy, Wilma Wigham, and Florence Blye, were very amusing in their “busy” ways. They made perfect, sweet, but inquisitive old maids. William Fox brought many a thrill to the feminine part of the audience when lie, in glowing terms, declared his love for Miss Phoebe. His acting was truly “dashing.” Justin Hayes was very good as a recruiting sergeant. He afforded the audience much amusement when he obeyed Miss Phoebe and stood on the paper while she scolded him. School girls and “wall flowers” completed the cast. The scenery was very attractive and the costuming lovely, (ireat expense was involved in staging this play, but the returns were good, too. The house was so well filled, it acted as a great inspiration to the young actors. I 1 December GIjibk Prophecy IT was 2: 30 o'clock a. in. I sat wearily at my desk translating “Vergil.” I had reached the part which tells of Aeneas gazing down upon Carthage from a lofty height where his goddes mother Venus had made him invisible by surrounding him with a veil of mist. When my head grew so heavy that 1 could hold it up no longer, I suddenly found myself on a hill overlooking an ancient city, which 1 concluded must be Carthage. Then. | erhaps Venus, too, was near. Glancing behind me. I beheld a beautiful, goddess-like form floating in the air. This ethereal spirit waved her golden wand thrice and s|x� ke in the voice of an Aeolian iaf ‘ “Be sober now, and cut no caper; Thou art unseen, in a mist of vapor.0 With awe 1 scrutinized the face of the divine speaker, then shrieked joyously, “Catherine Cleary! Don't you know me. CatherineHut the goddess heeded me not. hai'C come from niy home in the sun To show you some things that are now being done. Not ancient Carthage you shall see, But the present world, if you will follow me; Tor this is nineteen-thirty-three.” Then the goddess guided me through the air southward over the Sahara Desert, addressing me presently with these words: “Do you remember what a roving character Roland Fletcher was? Look!” I looked and saw a caravan approaching. At its head seated on a camel was Roland Fletcher, who seemed to be gesticulating wildly and uttering unintelligible shouts. I questioned my guide, and she explained to me that Roland had become the greatest veil originator in the world. At the rear of the train of camels I perceived Rollin Hughes, Josef Katcr and Willard Pennington perfecting a perpetual motion machine which would generate enough electricity to carry an aeroplane to the moon! Then they were to take Mr. Fletcher’s yells to that orb and sell them to the high schools there. We were now in the midst of the Soudan region, and my guide pointed out to me a building with this inscription over the front entrance: RAYMOND ARCHER Reform School for Idiots and Criminals “Conic,” said the goddess, “let us enter.” Inside the building, the first thing that attracted my attention was a sign over one door, which read— MONSIEUR PARKE DICKEY ROBINSON Teacher of Fancy Dancing, Refined Manners, and all the Elegances of the Mind I learned that Robinson's sole occupation was dancing before a mirror, patiently endeavoring to teach his reflected image how to dance. I on I We glanced into one of the cells and found Louis Rawlings confined for stealing a lock of hair from the head of the beautiful property mistress of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Miss Dorothy Adams. Such audacity had so enraged a certain Leslie Hilliard, general overseer of all deportations of anarchists, that he promptly deported this offender to Archer’s African reformatory. A little farther on we came to this sign: GIBBS BROTHERS, INCORPORATED Chop Suev—Ten Cents a Chop! “I am surprised at not finding Bernard Uarpenteur. i said; “whatever became of him? “Alas! lie is no more. He and Elmer Jones and Leslie Johnson tried the experiment of putting a piece of dynamite in a carbon lamp. They screwed the new lamp into a socket, turned on the switch, and then—alas! Suffice it to say that Bernard’s right arm was found two weeks later at the North Pole. No trace of the other inventors was ever found. Mentioning the north pole evidently reminded my guide of something, for she led me outside again, and we started northward. Arriving at the polar zone, I observed Russell Meycrand, who had invented an electrical drill with which he had bored a hole into the center of the earth. Forthwith, such intense heat had rushed out that it wanned up the entire arctic region, causing grass to grow on the icebergs. Russell was now planning the construction of steel pipes to all comers of the earth to transmit this heat as a substitute for wood and coal. Suddenly hearing the report of a rifle, we glanced below and beheld a merry hunting party. “That is Mr. Barry Boyd. President of the United States,” explained my guide. “He is the second president who has left the country in the midst of his term of office. He has taken his cabinet on this hunting expedition. I looked down with interest when she pointed out Chester Jennings, dignified Secretary of State; John Magaw, recently appointed Secretary of the Treasury; and Paul Thur, Secretary of Labor. Paul had grown extremely corpulent, perhaps because of the excessive drudgery connected with his office. “Who is in charge of the government at Washington now while the officials arc out on this wild goose chase? I asked. “The government is more ably handled by the substitutes than by the President himself. was the answer. “Margaret Keenan is taking the President’s place, assisted by a cabinet composed of Lucille Quinn, Florence Blyc. and Elton Clothier. Elton has been given an important office as Minister of Dramatics. Betty Laws, as Speaker of the House, wields tremendous authority over till legislation.” Struck by a sudden recollection, I asked. “Speaking of Betty reminds me. What about Justin Hayes?” “Ten years ago. while attending the University of Iceland, he was given a microscope and sent out to discover the origin of the French language, and he is now excavating in Mount Vesuvius. ru-c’z-iu 7=1 r j A little later our airship arrived at a tiny village called “Oldmaidsvillc.” Our appearance brought all the denizens forth, and 1 was tilled with amazement as 1 identified some of the faces of these long-suffering old ladies. “If there isn't Jean Wilson!” I gasped. Guide Clearv smiled and said, “Helen Lasley is the founder of the colony; but Dorothea Xorth is the most enthusiastic inhabitant. She has become thoroughly disgusted at the light, shallow nature of man.” Among the faces gazing upwards at us 1 saw also Esther Hagen and Margaret Kelly. After exploring the village, Guide Cleary and I decided to visit America, going via Asia. We passed a gloomy forest in Siberia, where we saw a group of ferocious men seated alnnit a camp-fire. Though they talked in low voices, I heard enough of what they said to know that they were radical bolshevists, plotting the overthrow of all civilization. After examining the leader closely, I groaned. “Oh, oh! The leader is Tom Caswell; how he has degenerated!” My sorrow was unmitigated when I found that his corrupt companions were Royce Howes, Victor Gordon, and Manvel Peterson. I recall seeing in China a tiny shop tilled with old clothes and rubbish of all descriptions. In front of this shop a man was walking back and forth carrying a huge sign which read: “This shop is unfair to ragmen's union! Keep away!” I could scarcely believe my guide when she said that this patient pedestrian was Archie Berg. As we were floating over the Pacific, I was alarmed by a great disturbance in the water below me. My guide told me that this was not a submarine, but the great swimmer and chemist, Catherine Campbell. The United States government had sent her out to lay cables from San Francisco to Honolulu. Incidentally she was studying the chemical effect of salt ocean water upon the teeth of a chicken. “Do you see that airplane flying about aimlessly in the air? my guide asked when we came in sight of the American shore. “Chauncey Simonds spends the whole day in his airship chasing goat feathers. In the evening we entered the auditorium at San Francisco, where we heard a great orator, Harry Doran, delivering a lecture on “Reasons Why the Average Woman Can Live on One Straw per Day. The whole lecture was being taken down verbatim by a little baldheadcd man, whom my guide informed me was Harry Hall, editor of the “Saturday Evening Post.” In the wee. small hours of the morning, we arrived in Minneapolis, and 1 cried joyfully, “Oh, Catherine, I see where I live! Let’s go down and see what I turned out to be!” Hut I spoke to the air; no Catherine teas there. I rubbed my eyes, and groaned in despair; I rubbed them again, and a second look Disclosed to me my Vergil book!

So we passed through all the trials that freshies undergo. Till at last as world-wise sophomores we gazed on the Frosh” below. Then on held and track we honors won—we helped the Liberty Loan; In the Red Cross work of mercy our Soph’more banner shone. Alas—ere we could know it. another year slipped by; Juniors! the longed-for class meet at last was drawing nigh. This time we chose for leader none other than noble Lynn. Again did Gordon and Betty and Dody their places win. We voted on pins and mottoes, as other classes do: We'd dreamed of winning victories—our wildest dreams came true. For we triumphed o’er the Seniors, and won the grand debate. And our boys starred in the swimming, and on the baseball plate. We gave a Junior Party ’neath the bright sunshine of May. And then we sold the “Reveille” for many and many a day. June came, and again we parted, each to his separate home, To forget his books and classes, and near nature’s heart tc roam. In the fall the “B” of “E” decreed, the Seniors “B” and “A” Must join beneath one banner and graduate one day; So we combined our leaders, taking two from either side. Making such a combination as might’ve the world defied. Fred Grose from the “A s” was chieftain, G. Boyd from the “B’s” the aide; 1). Higgins kept the minutes; :o Dick Balch the money was paid. The champion ’19 football team had many from our class, Including among this number the noble Captain “Ras.” We had another “Sunlight 'long near Thanksgiving Day,— We danced, and never was a dance more fun than that, we say: And then we gave a party for oitr teachers wise and dear. We know that they enjoyed it—of that we have no fear. So the happy days rolled bv us until the ruling came. That we must leave the A” class and alone play out the game. This meant wc chose new leaders, and we set about the task With as businesslike demeanor as any one could ask. E. Woolery, ex-service man, received the highest place; 1). O’Hearn, following closely, was second in the race; K. Heeler again kept minutes—Rasmussen was C. C. C. And Barnard Jones won out, the financier to be. Then the smallpox came, and our schools they closed, And for three long weeks our idle books reposed. When the ban at last was lifted, we turned back, one and all. To study hard and harder and pass thoughtful through tlu hall. We held another meeting, and chose the “hall of fame:” And then the new suggestion for a “laureate” sermon came: We chose the Rev. Dr. Bushnell this sermon new to preach. And we talked of a classes's orator to make the farewell speech. 'flic social event of all the year came with the Senior Prom. And the favorite play, “Peg o’ My Heart,” successfully passed along. So we passed the last vicissitude, and through the great front doors Goodbye, dear Alma Mater, we’ll love you evermore. WITH rapt faces and lips prepared to smile, an eager audience awaited the raising of the curtain on “Peg o’ My Heart.” the play of the June 1920 class. The amusing plot and the witty dialogue together with the well-chosen cast made this comedy unusually successful. I'eg. an impetuous Irish maiden, was sent to live with her overbearing aunt and her two cousins—Ethel and Alaric. Mrs. Chichester, her aunt, is acquainted with the fact that Peg is an heiress, although Peg herself does not know it. Jerry, a young English lord, and friend of Alaric's, soon falls in love with her. After many misunderstandings, a great deal of trouble, and unhappiness for Peg the young couple finally are brought together and they all live happily ever after. Zada Carpenter made a delightful and vivacious heroine, a truly lovable Peg. It would have been impossible for Emerson Wulling. as Jerry, to resist her charms. Dick Holt took the part of Alaric very well. His interpretation of the lines was remarkably humorous. IIis every word was greeted with laughter. Vcnetia Cobleigh in the role of Mrs. Chichester was a most haughty matron. Margaret Mason was a cold, unapproachable Ethel. This was a difficult part. Margaret took it well. The part of Mr. Hawkes, Peg’s lawyer, was well taken by the dignified Earl Woolery. Dick Rome made a villainous Brent, who deserts his wife and persuades Ethel to elope with him. Jerry Sevey was a perfect footman, and Evaline Wolfe a coquettish maid. The success of the play is due to the splendid coaching of Miss Williams, the untiring energy of the cast, and the interesting plot of the play itself, the spirit of which is expressed 1 ) the last lines, spoken bv Peg with her head on Jerry's shoulder. Me father always said, shure. there's nothing half so sweet in life as love’s young dream. I 104 l rc 7=n_i7=ir June Class Pliropliecy DRKARY and dark and col l was the night. The snow drove in sheets cutting through to the very skin. Blindly I stumbled down the Path of Curiosity to the weary abode of Cathcsis, Witch of the Future. Entering her cave, I beheld a fearful hag sitting by a low fire, muttering over a mystic brew. 1 would have spoken, but she motioned me to silence. Suddenly, uttering a terrible shriek, she Hung some herbs into the kettle, crying as she did so: “By the pricking of my thumb I know why to me you come. Drink then of this magic brew And J will oil things show to you; Add to this date a score and three And the fate of all your classmates see. A puff of smoke—I was in the broad street of some great American metropolis. “Ah,” I thought, “how shall I ever find you in this teeming city?” Attracted by the piercing cries of a newsboy, 1 crossed over to the stand, and idly bought an “Evening Star.” The newsie eagerly grasped my hand, and with tears in his eyes asked. “Aren’t you one of the C. H. S. 20’s? And don’t you remember me,—Willie Dobbs?” After a short chat concerning by-gone days, lie reached under his stand and pulled out a well-thumbed volume. “Did you know that Ray Ross has turned author? Me wrote this, ‘Are You Fit or Fat?’ I find it of considerable help in my profession. Mr. Ross, I suppose you know, is now head of the Central Y. and is making quite a name for himself in athletic circles. “Oh, and I almost forgot,—you really must see Lucy Crittenden. She is always asking for you.” His pressure of a button soon brought a dilapidated Ford around the corner, into which he ceremoniously bowed, airily answering my questioning look, “Yes, just a little investment of mine. And. by the bye, here’s another old friend of yours, Jim Wood, my chauffeur. As I stepped in. the car glided forward at a mere seventy-five miles an hour. Inside of five minutes, however, we were stopped by a ] ortly traffic policeman, Jerry Sevey, who, in spite of our protests, hauled us up before Judge Fogle, who released us for old time’s sake. He could not protect us, however, from the attack of the court reporter. Miss McCormack, who insisted on taking our pictures for the “Speed Special,” a publication owned, we learned, by the sporting gentlemen Louis Harris and Cortlandt McGrail. We were, moreover, compelled to listen to an extended and learned discourse on “Speed a Satisfaction of Satan” by the Very Reverend Willard E. Holmes, D. D. Again started, we were disgusted to find ourselves minus gasoline. Attracted by the staring advertisement of “Webster’s Molasses, Better Than Gas,” we stopped at the palatial Howard Garage, where a white-garbed young miss, Ada Swift, served us. We now found ourselves gliding smoothly down Taylor Boulevard, named rP7z=iu 7=irvi after the noted chemist who did so much to influence Mayor McCollottgh to have the pillars of the town hall calcium carbonate rather than marble. Happening to gaze upward, 1 unexpectedly beheld Margaret Matson artistically decorating the signboards with advertisements of Katz' and Kail’s Kirkus. Delightedly my eyes drank in the news that (lee Jan. erstwhile George Janovec, was the downiest clown alive, that Betty Heeler was the world's champion toe-dancer and that Ellen Davlin was queen of the snake-charmers. An electric sign topped the board Margaret was working on. This boldiy announced: “Noble in name and aim: see Zimmerman for your suits. Divorces a specialty.” In a few moments our “limousine” rolled up before the spacious Smith Hotel. The clerk, Walter Sawyer, oddly enough, sent me up with the very attentive bellboy, Gerald Slattengren. In answer to our knock. Miss Crittenden, violin in hand, appeared on the threshold. 1 stretched out my arms to her, but even as I did so. the scene was changed. .....I found myself in Mexico in the palace of the Generalissimo Roscoe Kolliner. newly elected president of the country. 1 begged him to tell me how he obtained his leadership, lie explained that he had learned “ze langwidge from Senorita Borgcson and that he had been elected through the untiring efforts of his publicity manager, Lillis Benin, and through lean McCarthy’s stinging, vitriolic pen, which. His Excellency said, “fairly dripped liquid lire.” He unwillingly admitted, however, that his position was rendered rather precarious by the revolutionary predilections of Dick Rome, whose former l old. bad ways and deep-dyed villainy I easily recalled. Even as we talked. I became aware of a sharp click, click. To my plea that he explain the cause, the Generalissimo laughed and said, “That’s only Hayden Kenny. Poor fellow, lie thinks he’s a ‘typewriter.’ ” Ere he could say more, there appeared on the threshold a dreamy, thoughtful-looking man whom His Excellency drew forth with. “And this is your old friend Arne Bruheim. my court poet.” After Mr. Bruheim had shyly withdrawn, my host hospitably pressed me to dine with him. “We will go,” said he. “to one of Woolcry’s globe-encircling chain of cafeterias. And afterwards we will go hear Miss Zelma McCabe discuss ’Dress: Its Political, Industrial and Aesthetic Aspects.’ 1 beg you. wait here for me while I make arrangements. Adios.” Then, mechanically feeling in my pocket, I was amazed to find the “Star still there. When I opened it. a scare head leaped into view, proclaiming, “I.. Walling, High Chancellor of Confederate Clubs of America. Refuses to Run for President.” Immediately below, my eye was caught by the name of Ruth McArthur. “Miss McArthur,” so ran the story, “is the winner of the world-wide steel riveters’ competition, with sixty (60) rivets per minute to her credit.” Two other items that interested me immensely were that Dorothy Higgins had recently been apfxiintcd policewoman of Greater New York and that Miss O'Hearn, an influential women’s leader, had started a driving crusade against ( 100 J the inhuman treatment of the Boards of Education toward helpless, innocent children. The Generalissimo now reappeared, followed by two be-moustached soldiers. Roger Stallr and Edward Stoessel, dragging a struggling victim. “Ah,” said our president, “so this is our trusted Minister of Finance. This is the man who has embezzled hundreds of thousands of pounds from our treasury. He is a traitor! To the block with him!” And lo! 1 saw it was Barnard Jones! Mingling my tears with those of Fred Brecke, American Consul, I attempted to secure his acquittal. But alas, 1 was not to know his fate, for at that moment there was again a puff of smoke, and the next instant I was walking down the main street of a little Western town. Jaunting gaily down Main Street, lie indicated with his whip a richly embossed shield which bore the legend: “Madame Carpenter. Modern Exponent of Ancient Drama.” “She.” said my guide with justifiable pride, “is teachin’ the kids around here to appreciate the plays of a coup!a gents called Euripides and Aeschylus.” Farther on. we came to the town pump which my guide said had been “donated by the prominent lady-aiders, Mrs. Perk and Mrs. Xoveau Riche.” “They ustcr be Lillian Busian and Margaret Holliday, y’know.” he added in explanation. Suddenly we were almost stifled in a cloud of dust raised by an immense touring car sweeping past 11s. I started to express my indignation at such criminal proceedings. But Bob said, looking fearfully at the broad back of the gentleman in the offending car. “He might hear you. He’s Lynn Latta, our only millionaire. He got his money in skinning. And lie's a bit stuck-up.” he added irrelevantly. In front of us crossed a scholarly-looking man. Jerking his thumb outward. Bob said, “See him? He’s our school superintendent. He knows a heap. His name's Koop. He—well. I’ll be jiggered.” lie interrupted himself, If Melby Decker ain’t movin’! Well. I always did say that her ‘millin’ry’ was too New Yorkish for these parts. That’s Whit Plaisted at akin her things away “You’re coming home with me, of course. Mother’ll be tur’ble glad to see you, and so will Elizabeth. Yes. Elizabeth McCarthy’s avisitin’ us a while getting ‘material’ and ‘atmosphere for her new book. ‘Courtesy Country.’ “Why, and there’s Mother now. ----------1 looked in the direction lie pointed. but------------ At that instant, a flash of white lightning blinded me. There was a reverberating roll of thunder. Once more I stood in the “Path of Curiosity”; once more I saw the cave of Cathesis. Cathesis herself stood in the doorway, chanting wildly: “The magic hour of twelve is past; The dawning day has come at last. Voidve seen what fortune holds in store. Go! Go! dare not show you more. Xow must you bid farewell to me.” The wind whistled through the cave. She vanished, and I have never seen her since. I 108 J OffGonizflTism Technical Cluh CENTRAL'S Technical Club was organized about ten years ago for the purpose of creating a keener interest among the Junior and Senior boys in all technical and engineering subjects. At the same time ii had a second object, which was to provide a wider held of activity for work in these subjects than it was possible to obtain in the regular classes. This year the membership has been very small, thereby working a serious handicap to its activities. In spite of this, it has had a very successful year. Many enjoyable trips were taken to various industrial establishments throughout the Twin Cities, including the Emerson-Brantinghain Company, Paris Candy Factory, Minneapolis Steel and Machinery, and the Brown-Bigelow Company of St. Paul. The Tech Club was also addressed by Mr. Pierce. Mr. Robohni, and Mr. Critchett, some of Central’s technical teachers. Although, the club has a small membership, it is hoped more students will take .advantage of the club next year. I in I I 112 J THE GIRLS’ CLUB of Central High is an organization composed of the Senior and Junior girls of the school. The club was organized with an idea to encourage higher ideals and to promote a spirit of co-operation and fellowship among the girls. In addition to the usual activities, the club has secured many very fine speakers for the weekly meetings. The club, together with the Boys’ Club, gave a successful Halloe'en dinner-dance for the members. Two freshman parties were given to entertain the new freshman girls. This party is a term event at which the members act as big sisters to the new girls. The Social Service department has carried on its work very efficiently by sending girls to the settlement houses each week to conduct classes. Their principal work is done at Unity, Pillsbury, and the Northeast Settlement Houses. The classes include cooking, sewing, knitting, dancing, dramatics, and storytelling. The club also contributed to the Community Chest for the furtherance of the work. It is certain that every member enjoys the privilege of belonging to the Girls’ Club and striving “to develop the highest standard of womanhood, to promote a spirit of co-operation and fellowship, and to encourage education along lines of social service.” I III I CENTRAL’S Hi-Y Club has ever had a solid gold purpose. Although the club was found lacking, because intending and doing often bear little relationship. nevertheless the several deeds of service accomplished more than make up for its deficiencies and are indeed a credit to the organization and to the school. In the first place, the Red and Blue Book (formerly the Handbook) published in December was an unqualified success and met with widespread approval, not only among the students and faculty of Central, but among friends and alumni of the school. It was the purpose of the committee to include matter in the book which would be of value not only to Freshmen, but to the whole student body. How well they succeeded may be seen from the fact that 1.000 copies were sold in less than an hour, and that a reprint was ordered. The bean suppers and the brotherly feeling that they create are of great value to the fellows. Some excellent speakers addressed the club during the year. Among them were Dean Coffman of the University, Mr. A. Y. Selovcr, Mr. Jensen of the Northwestern Knitting Mills, Mayor Meyers, Mr. R. C. Tapp, Coach Buck of Carleton, and a member of the Russian Y. M. C. A. The Campaign of Friendship, as a follow-up drive after Doctor Burton's Assembly address on “Life Plans.” was of inestimable value to many fellows in helping them to choose their life work. Over one hundred upper classmen secured interviews with leading business and professional men during the campaign. The dinner given in honor of the basketball team was the biggest event attempted by the club. Gold basketballs were presented to the team on this occasion, Mr. Hargreaves making the presentation address. The Hallowe'en dinner and dance given in conjunction with the Girls’ Club was a new departure for the Hi-Y Club, but was a real success. To the individual members, who have heartily co-operated in its every enterprise, and to the new officers who as last year’s committeemen carried on the good work so well, the retiring officers wish to express their thanks and to add that it is their hope that club members, officers, and committeemen alike will continue to work together even more faithfully toward the great purpose of the Ili-Y Club.

It has, in every way, lived up to its motto, which is to promote interest in the classics. An entertaining Hallowe'en frolic, at which the French and Spanish Clubs were guests, was a novelty in club entertainment. “The Return of Aeneas,” a play, was given at one of the meetings. In the Pot Pourri, the club took an active part in presenting several “Classical Tableaux.” Some of those who were listed on the club’s program were: Mr. Hargreaves, well known to Centralites; Mr. Rossiter Howard, educational director of the Art Institute; Miss Williams and Miss Harris, of the English and Latin departments; Mrs. D. S. White and Mrs. Owen, of the College Women’s Club. The Latin Club is one of the few clubs at Central to distinguish itself by having pins. The officers who guided the club from September to January were: Elizabeth Laws, president; Lucille Quinn, vice-president; Marshall Barton, secretary; Margaret Kelly, treasurer; Jessie Ravitch, C. C. C. representative. For the months between January and June, the club elected Emerson Wulling. Aileen Drake, Marshall Barton, Dorothy Higgins, and Ruth Selden to take their places. Altogether, the Latin C lub has filled the need of its members by benefiting and instructing them in a very pleasant manner. l'l’LVKK KKXNY SMITH MORGAN McARTHUR WKBSTKR SKVKY XKLKOX (MIRISTMAX WUM.ING A.

LAWSON I.KK PROMINENT among the organizations of Central High School is “The Players’' Club. This club was organized in March, 1916, for the purpose of creating an interest in the drama. During the past year much has been accomplished along this line. It has been the aim of the club to use club talent: therefore, at the meetings, the dramatizations and other “stunts” have been given by members themselves. A vaudeville worthy of praise was given in April. The principal feature was the one-act play, “A Proposal under Difficulties.” Richardson Rome and Emerson Wulling, with all the dash and vim possible, were the ardent suitors of Venetia Coblcigh, a pretty society girl. As maid. Margaret Mattson deserves much praise. Margaret and “Dick” furnished much of the laughter of the afternoon. Following the play Orrell Lee gave a most charming and graceful Hungarian dance. The vaudeville was followed by a peppy dance in the Gym. This is only one of the many good times one has in “The Players” club. The officers for the club this year were Richardson Rome. Vera Stone. Donald Johnston, and Lillis Benin. Although the membership is limited to Juniors and Seniors enrolled in the Modern Drama classes, any students interested in the drama are welcome. The club wishes to take this opportunity to express its most sincere appreciation to Miss Williams for her time and untiring patience in helping the club to be a success.

Mr. Pe-houshek was the founder. Its progress has been marked by leaps and bounds, until now it lias reached the distinction of being one of the largest amateur orchestras of the city, having about seventy members. The importance of the work of this organization can best be appreciated by a hurried review of its activities. At assemblies, at all school entertainments— graduations, amateur theatricals, and class plays, the members and their instruments have been “present.” “Dorothy,” of course, was their biggest work this year. In conjunction with the Glee Club, this was produced March 4 and 5. Besides this, also with the Glee Club, the cantata “On Shore and Sea was given at the Auditorium for the Minneapolis Educational Association. The third week of May saw the production of “Isaiah,” another big success for the orchestra. During the past year several concerts have been given, some at the Art Institute and one at the St. James Hotel, in the interest of the Americanization work going on there. May 14. they gave a musicale for the Parents’ and Teachers’ Association. The audience was large and appreciative. The orchestra has done some outside work also. April 22. they played for the comic opera “Patience,” given by the Thurston School of Music, and the second week of May for “Pirates of Penzance.” Mr. Pehoushek has been responsible for all this good work. He has tirelessly devoted his time, his energy, and his talents to its interests. His excellent leadership has gained for them the prominence they now enjoy. His “right-hand man” during the past year has been, so he says, William Iscnberger. who has done all the advisory work, thus sparing Mr. Pehoushek these petty details. Elvin Christman has been concert-master, and Helen Mayhew second concertmaster. Central recognizes the position of this great organization, and is grateful for the hearty co-operation always extended by this body. { 121 j WKBB WAI.UNU JAXOVKC BIHIAX GROFF UK V HIM I li K SOXDKKGAAHU WOOD HIOOIXS Ht= 2nJLKJ RUGS, flowers, mirrors. Pot Pourris, movies, postet-stamps, and library boards have been supplied to Central High School through the endeavors of the Central Confederation of Clubs. Since its organization in the late spring of 1919, the confederation has, through the above-mentioned details, scrupulously followed the motto. “Individuality— Co-operation—Service.’’ A more general statement of the purpose of the C. C. C. is found in the preamble to its constitution: “We, members of the organized clubs and classes of Central High School, believing that united we can accomplish more for the school as a whole and co-operate to a better advantage with the faculty as a whole than we can by independent action along individual lines, do hereby establish this constitution.” For the fall term the officers elected were Fred Grose, president; Gerald Hubbard and John Magaw. first and second vice-presidents; Dorothy Higgins and Margaret Matson, recording and corresponding secretaries; and Leslie Hilliard, treasurer. The constant activities of the organization and its alert watchfulness of the affairs of the school were largely due to the executive ability of the president and other officers, and the originality and enthusiasm of Miss Broomhall, faculty adviser. A successful Pot Pourri was held in November under the direction of the C. C. C.; the creation of the Library Board has meant a revolutionizing of library conduct and control; rugs were purchased for the Housekeeping Suite and for Miss Probett's office; flowers were sent to members of the faculty who were ill; and a moving picture entertainment was given. This work covering a period from January to June. 1920. was carried on under the leadership of John Groff, president: Hester Sor.dcrgaard, vice-president; Dorothy Higgins, secretary: George Janovic, treasurer; and Mr. Storms, faculty adviser.

A long-felt need at Central has now been satisfied. Through the efforts of two of the teachers. Miss Jordan and Miss Fish, and the co-operation of the students, the club was organized this spring. The officers elected to start the club along are: President, Wallace Nelson; vice-president. Martha Taylor; secretary-treasurer. Grant Brandt; C. C. C. representative. Lorraine Walling. Because of the existing conditions in the country which call for an understanding of Civics on the part of every citizen, this club should occupy a unique position in the high school life, where the students train for citizenship. The purpose of the club is to provide a convenient and attractive method outside the class rooms for advancing knowledge of the United States, its government. its institutions, and the blessing it affords. In the fulfillment of this purpose, the club aims to secure the best of speakers to address it on appropriate subjects. Due to the faithful services of the committee in charge and the abilities of the speakers procured, the programs have been most interesting and instructive. Having been so recently organized, the club has no remarkable achievements to review, but it should be remembered that the goal that lias yet to be reached is far better than the one that has already been passed. At present the club is co-operating with the other clubs of Central in providing a “Roosevelt Shelf for the school library. 'I’he coming years will expect more and larger things from the club and every student of Civics should avail himself of the opportunities of membership in this growing club. Special credit and gratitude are extended to the faculty advisers who have fostered this movement.

By the close of the fall quarter, the size of the paper had been increased to six columns, giving one hundred and ten inches more of space per issue, and a secure financial footing had finally been attained after a somewhat uncertain period extending over several previous terms. A large part of the paper’s success is due editorially to 1 Iarry Hall, the former managing editor, and to Willis Dobbs, the present editor-in-chief. By his capability as the advertising manager. Arne Bruheim helped to set the paper on its firm financial footing. The loss of Mr. Frost, instructor in journalism, who resigned at the end of the term, was much regretted by the whole staff. During the time lie was at Central, Mr. Frost greatly improved the paper. He also rearranged the staff in such a manner as to put it upon a very much more efficient working basis. About the middle of the second quarter, Mr. Mulligan, successor to Mr. Frost, re-established the office of editor-in-chief, which had been nonexistent for the two previous terms. The quarter ended with all departments of the News in an exceptionally favorable condition. The last quarter was not marked by any event of importance. Tbc “News” lias attempted in printing its ninth volume to give the school a complete, concise weekly digest of the most important events of the year, written in true newspaper style. Whether it has succeeded may be best judged by those in whose interests it has been published—the student and faculty body of Central. f 127 1 I SCI I AMOK ALISKKCHT KTI1KL Rl'sSKLI. .IKAX M. COTTON' MISS NUTTKR MISS OATHS DORIS BKRU KI NA KAU.MKRG JANK HOWARD MARTHA TAYLOR rc =u_i 7=1 THE GIRLS ATHETI.IC ASSOCIATION is the one organization in Central High that is open to all the girls in the school. The record membership was made this year, and larger attendance in all of its activities has been noticeable. The main purpose of the association is to promote interest in the gymnasium and outdoor sports as a means of recreation and of securing better physical development and comradeship of its members. The chief indoor sports of the club are: volleyball, track, indoor baseball, and swimming. The outdoor sports consist of hiking, tennis, and skating. Regular class tournaments are conducted in volleyball and baseball each fall and spring. This fall the volleyball teams were exceptionally good, the seniors proving the winners. In the field and track meet so many entered that a preliminary meet had to he held to eliminate a few. The track meet was a big affair. Many fine athletes competed and new records were made in some of the events. Hiking has proved a very popular sport this year; over sixty girls joined in the six and eight mile hikes held in the fall. Swimming meets are held each term at the Y. Y. C A. pool for the tryouts for numerals. Class tennis tournaments arc held each spring and the school champion wins the tennis monogram. The goal of all these sports is the school letter, a large red and blue “C.” A class numeral is given for each 100 points won in each sport, and a letter for a total of 700 points. Besides the athletics, the social activities of the association are very popular. Beginning with a “hare and hound” chase in the fall for the entering “freshies, a party or two are held every quarter and some unique stunts carried out each time. The Hallowe en and birthday parties have been the most successful. It is plain to be seen that there is a large field of activity for every girl, no matter what her special interest may be, and that this association is meeting the needs of many girls in Central High School in athletics and recreation. The officers of the association for 1919-20 were: Martha Taylor, president; Jane Howard, vice-president; Edna Rallberg. secretary; Sybil Harris, C. C. C.: Miss Xutter, treasurer; and Miss Gates and Miss Bell, advisers. [ 130 J A KEEN and steadily increasing desire of Central High French students was realized last May in the organization of “I.c Foyer,” a club devoted to the study and practice of French customs, the singing of French songs, and the promoting of a spirit of good fellowship through genial informality and cooperation. Lucille Quinn, as president, proceeded immediately to mold the club into a well modeled, presentable organization. The other officers for that quarter were: Glendon Tremaine, vice-president; Jessie Kavitch, secretary; Florence Bove. treasurer; and Louis Harris, the representative in the C. C. C. Faithfully and unselfishly the advisers worked with the officers in an endeavor to bring the club before the students. Mrs. Drechslcr, Miss Helliwell, Miss Richardson, and Miss Borreson deserve credit for their wise guidance. The greatest public appearance of Le Foyer’s” representatives was in the Pot Pourri of the fall, in which scenes from Henry V were presented. With the beginning of the January quarter, the new officers elected were: Louis Harris, president; Dorothy Higgins, vice-president; Elisabeth Heeter. secretary; Virginia Raglan, treasurer; and Hester Sondergaard, C. C. C. representative. Informal meetings, made attractive by delightful talks, home-talent music and the customary dish of ice cream proved to he the specialty of the program committee. Appropriate pins were purchased by the members during the spring term. As a reminder to the I atin Club that “a good time was had by all” at their Hallowe’en frolic, Le Foyer gave a “Le Dansant” which was a decided success. Although the establishment of Le Foyer” as a school organization was due largely to the unfailing work of individuals, its success was the result of the active interest taken in the welfare of the club by its members, friends, and advisers. ( 132 ) EI TC3?7=IU7=irN] T IN the presentation of ‘‘Dorothy ’ Alfred Collier’s comic opera, the Centra! High Glee Club revealed to the musical world its ability by achieving the greatest success in its history. The club appeared under the auspices of the M. E. A. at the Minneapolis Auditorium in Sullivan’s cantata “On Shore and Sea.” They also assisted in the memorial services at the Park Avenue Congregational Church, singing two numbers, “In Flanders Fields” and “America Triumphant.” Early in the fall they sang at Central Iligh's memorial services and a number of times added to the program in assemblies. During the seven years of the club’s existence its members have produced a number of light operas and cantatas. These are: “Pauline.” “Bos’n’s Bride.” “Pirates of Penzance,” “Mikado,” “Erminie.” “Kip Wan Winkle ’ “Pinafore.” and “Dorothy.” The Glee Club has also assisted the chorus in the production of the “The Creation,” “Elijah,” and “The Messiah.” The club has spent a great deal of time on the productions, and sincerely hopes to make the public realize the need of better music. The work of this year has been greatly enjoyed, and it is hoped that another year will bring just as favorable results.

BONDK Spanish Chib THE SPANISH CLUB of Central High, on its organization in the spring of 1919, adopted the name Hispaniu as an indication that the club was to devote itself to the study of all things Spanish, whether related to the mother country Spain or to the Spanish-speaking countries of the Western Hemisphere. Its programs, given on alternate Wednesdays, have been arranged to carry out this purpose. Talks have been given on the various South American countries by persons who have intimate knowledge of the affairs of South America, and these have created much interest among the members of the club. The spoken Spanish has not been neglected. This year a rul� : was made that ten minutes of each meeting was to he devoted to sj caking Spanish, members to be fined one cent for each English word spoken during that period. This has led to considerable silence on the part of otherwise talkative members, but they are getting over this defect by degrees. A very pleasant feature of the meetings this year has been the presence and lively interest in the club shown by the younger students in the Spanish department. If this interest is sustained through the coming years, Hispania will have reason to he proud of its membership.

The primary object of the club is to enable students to exercise their talents before a small audience in order that they may be able to play with composure and enjoyment in public. Another purpose of the club is to bring out the talent of students who. though good musicians, hesitate to take part in the musical activities of the school. The meetings are held every other Tuesday immediately after school in the Housekeeping Suite. In addition to instrumental and vocal solos and duettos, the lives of prominent composers and musicians are discussed. W hile attended largely by girls, the clu!) should appeal to boys who play instruments or who only enjoy listening to music. f 135 | Military Training MILITARY TRAINING has been given at the Minneapolis high schools since September, 1918. when gynasium instructors were in charge. In February. 1919. officers of the U. S. Army were detailed for duty here by the War Department. The officer in charge it present is Captain Tom Fox, Infantry. U. S. A. Central's Cadet Corps ranks high in efficiency. In June, 1919, a competitive drill was held between companies from all the high schools. The prize was the honor of carrying the colors for a year. Company “A of Central High won this drill. The set of colors referred to were presented to the 1 ligh School Cadet Corps by the Scottish Rite Masons of Minneapolis. In Decemer, 1919, Company “A.” Central, again went over the top and captured the sabre presented by Captain Fox. This prize is the permanent property of the school. The presentation of the sabre to the winning company was made by Colonel George E. Leach. 151st Field Artillery, who is a graduate of Central. The military red letter day was Wednesday, February 11. 1920. when Major-General Leonard Wood. U. S. Army, visited Central and talked to the school for 45 minutes on the benefits of military training. On May 7th the Cadet companies, together with East and West High Schools, went into camp at Fort Snelling. Regular camp routine was the program. Credit given for military training counts toward graduation in the high school. If taken two years at school a student is not required to take it at the state university, where, otherwise, it would be compulsory for two years. Major McWade’s Plays HUMS” and “Lend Me Five Shillings” were the titles of two one-act farces V-x presented by “The Strollers,” the evening of Aprii 30. The proceeds went toward purchasing uniforms for the C. H. S. Military Band. “Chums” deals with the “haps and mishaps” of two college chums in difficulties, while “Lend Me Five Shillings” has for its plot the troubles of Captain Golightly, an English army officer, who is in a dilemma because of embarrassed financial conditions, during a fashionable ball he was attending. Between plays. Priscilla Thompson gave a very charming dance. Mathew Peppard and Major McWade, who took the leads in “Chums,” brought laugh after laugh by their clever acting. The hero of “Lend Me Five Shillings” was Major McWade in the part of Mr. Golightly. In this part also lie was fine. The second lead was played by Willard Holmes. “As usual” he dashed around with all his customary pep.

MATSON TEU8AW STONE AVKRILL Cartoon Club NINETEEN-TWENTY—and the Cartoon Club is still striving and thriving. The aim of this organization is to provide a means of expression—serious, funny or otherwise—to those interested in drawing. Every Wednesday up in 405 they put down their impressions of the humorous side of life. After the members have transferred their inspiration from mind to paper, the drawings were put up for general criticism. Or again, they had a chalk talk, a discussion of present-day cartoonists or a short talk on the art of caricature. One of the most enjoyable meetings was a trip to the Art Museum, where they were shown sketches by Rembrandt and Durer. To the Cartoon Club is due a great deal of credit for the advertising of various events of the year. An interesting exhibition of these cartoon ads has filled the show case in the front hall from week to week. Popular chalk talks at assembly functions have been staged by the leading members of the club. Some of their simple efforts in addition to local exhibition have been shown in Chicago. Altogether the club has had an enjoyable and prosperous year. r 1 B. A. A. HOLDING jurisdiction over all matters concerning athletics, the Boys’ Athletic Association is recognized as one of the most important organizations in Central. A material advantage of this organization is that its membership is unrestricted, being open to every boy in school. This unlimited membership, however. makes the transaction of business an awkward procedure: therefore a Board of Control is the supreme authority concerning all athletic activities, as, for instance, the awarding of emblems. This Board of Control is composed of Mr. Hargreaves. Mr. Throner. the captains of the major teams, officers of the association, and a representative elected from each class. The purpose of the B. A. A. is to stimulate, and hold, the interest of the boys in all athletics. Toward this end, a reduction on athletic tickets is offered to members of the association. The promotion of clean, sportsmanlike athletics is another purpose. One of the most successful years since the organization of the association in 1914 is just being concluded. Attendance at the games and meets lias been very satisfactory, and an enthusiastic school spirit has pervaded Central throughout the year. Clean sportsmanship has featured all athletic comj etition. Under the excellent leadership of our athletic director, Mr. Throner. we have every reason to expect that the success of this year will be followed by many more as successful. Botany Club THE BOTANY CLUB was organized in January, 1920, for the purjxjsr of helping those interested in Botany to become better acquainted with certain phases of the subject, which appealed to them. On account of the enforced vacation, not many meetings were held in the early spring, but those which were called were very interesting. The club took many good hikes and field-trips, when the weather became warmer. During the winter, a number of great scientists were discussed, and extracts from their works on Botany were studied. Trips were also made to the commercial greenhouses of the city. The club held a meeting every alternate week in the Botany Lecture Room. The officers who started the club on its career were: Aileen Whitelaw, Walter Snyder, Alice Gilbertson, and Verna Monson. The club is indebted to Miss Groth and Miss Hall, the faculty advisors, for their work in starting the club. t 139 J rir?;z=iu?=ir Ni Three Times One “And lie shall perforin three labors—like the heroes of old. lie shall be informed what they are for three days beginning today. He is to tell the why fore to no one. After these labors are accomplished in due form, Thomas Peter Rilev becomes a lawful member of the royal and mighty society of the Red Dragon.” Thus spoke the would-be impressive voice of Ted Cranston, grand master of the Red Dragon—one of two rival secret clubs in Eustis Academy. The other was named the Black Devil, but the two were called familiarly by the students the “Reds” and the “Blacks.” Tom Riley was the latest candidate and had yet to undergo his initiation horrors. Now our hero was only an average young fellow after all, and as wild rumors had been circulated through the boys, of the Reds’ rashness, Tom, with many an inward qualm, listened for the first decree. “The aforesaid Thomas Peter Riley,” came forth in such ominous tones that Tom jumped and then chuckled. Immediately 19 pair of eyes were turned accusingly upon him. Luckily the room was darkened so that the other fellows failed to see their victim’s painful blush and valiant straightening up. “The aforesaid Thomas Peter Riley shall on this very day before sundown carry off all the snow on the North Walk by Glencn's Hole—” (why, this was easy, thought Tom) “with a spoon! For a minute intense silence ruled. Then—“Accept the decree, Thomas Peter Riley—and be off.” May I choose any spoon?” “Any spoon, yes. But it must be a spoon.” And the meeting was over. With a whoop the members broke loose from the restraint and in two minutes the room was empty. As for Tom. he hurriedly scoured the building for spoons, but the very largest was a most insignificant affair when he glanced out over the glistening snow and shivered at the cold wind. A quarter of an hour later he was shoveling furiously, but as yet had made but little progress. The sun was getting dangerously low in the sky. Tom’s fingers were aching rather badly—when suddenly he happened to glance up to see approaching him a most lovely vision. It was a tiny slip of a girl with merry brown eyes and a most engaging smile. She had on a bright blue sport suit and carried in her hand an enormous package. Evidently she was from Stanley School for Girls just a stone’s throw from Eustis. “Good afternoon, Mr. Riley,” her voice was evidently assumed. “I have something here that may help you out. Last Spring we Seniors gave a play in which I was a witch—and to make it funny I had this giant spoon with which to stir my cauldron.” She unwrapped the package and brought forth to the boy’s wondering eyes a mammoth spoon. “But—but how did you know and—will they care if—” he was afraid he had violated the rules. “Hush—don't tell me any more. Suffice it to say I knew—perhaps I’m [ 140 ] rc 7=n_i 7=1 r-J a fairy—who knows? But anyway a spoon is a spoon—for they didn't designate how large it must be.” Not waiting for him to stammer out his thanks, she turned and walked rapidly away. When nearly over the crest of the small hill which separated the two schools, she stopped, waved her hand and called. “Mum’s the word about me. you know!” Then she disappeared. For a minute Tom was too puzzled to work. “How in heck did she ever know—I thought the whole works was a dead secret. And who is she? Seems to me her voice is familiar, but she tried to make it seem strange. Funny—but I’ll say I’ll make use of the blessings the gods —or a girl either—give me.” In twenty-five minutes the walk was clean and Tom, puffing loudly, was wondering what to do with the spoon-shovel. Finally he took it to the edge of the walk, and leaning over the hedge dropped it over, covering it with snow. “There! If she knows everything she ought to know where to find that. But I hope she gets it before the fellows find it.” Then triumphantly he returned to the building, where he expected to find an eager group of his soon-to-be comrades awaiting him. But the whole place was silent; wondering a bit at this, he turned to go to his room. Suddenly a thought came to him—today was the day the whole lot of upper classmen were to go over to Stanley for supper and dance afterward. President Gordon had told the boys several days ago that they must go in a group, or not go at all. If anyone was late lie must suffer the consequences—namely, stay at school. Hm. so that was why they had picked the North walk; he had wondered because it was generally left unshovcled during the winter. The front entrance and walk could not be seen from there, so he had worked on. utterly oblivious to anything but that he must finish before sundown. He’d show' ’em—and then lie thought for a moment. Maybe this was part of his initiation—of course it was. But, doggone it, when a fellow had been looking forward to dancing with a certain girl for two months—it was almost too bad. For a second he almost regretted the fact that the Reds had chosen him for one of their number. However, visions came to him of future dances when he, one of the select 20. should have as many admirers as he could wish. The Red Dragons ran things pretty much to suit themselves in a social way. so that Tom was almost reconciled to his sad fate. “Anyway I’ve got to cram for old Nortin’s exam tomorrow—perhaps it’s just as well.” So philosophizing lie went to his cozy room and soon was apparently absorbed in study. The next morning he was awakened by a heavy knock at his door. At first afraid he had missed the rising bell, lie jumped up with all speed. A glance at his watch showed him it was only six. Wondering, he opened the door; as he did so a hand shoved a paper into his hand and slammed the door in his face. Quickly lie opened the paper and read: “Decree II—Thomas Peter Riley is to arise early; dress in his Valentine's Day masquerade suit; put on rubber boots which he shall find at the end of Commoner’s Wald; take President Gordon’s great coat from its place in ’'all and 1 1 141 1 rLXA-iu?=ir i wear it; put on his head the hat outside of his door; and cross over to Stanley, where he shall stand at the door of Winthrop Hall and speak to every damsel who shall come out. wishing them good-morning. lie will be obliged to ‘lam’ his first class and part of his second, and for this he shall receive a demerit mark in Professor Xortin’s books. All this must be fully carried out, as the Red Dragon knows everything.” The whole affair was so absurd that Tom could not realize it was true. Nevertheless the writing said so. and writing does not lie. So he hastily dressed in the masquerade suit mentioned, which was a combination of hearts, lace and satin, and which also brought along a white j owdcred wig. Then he procured the hat outside the door and raised it to his head. As if a summery straw hat sporting carrots and onions was not enough, it had streamers to be tied under the chin, one of pink and the other of deep green. Thus attired and feeling never so foolish in his whole life, he crept carefully down the stairs to the hall where hung the great-coat. This was a green and red plaid horror which some maiden lady had given the principal and which hung always in the hall, shouting out its vivid colors to all who passed. When Tom put it on, he found that the sleeves had been pinned back, as well as the front panels, so that it must be worn as a cape or not at all. Advancing from the conveniently unlocked door he procured the boots; and, on stepping into the big muddy things found them to be tilled, one with blue ink and one with green, which splashed up on his pink silk stockings and lace ruffles most artistically. By this time he was so thoroughly angry that he could hardly walk straight across the little hill. As he caught sight of the buildings of Stanley lie almost turned and fled—Red Dragon or no Red Dragon; but the sight of a small reassuring figure at the foot of the hill gaily waving to him restored his courage. He gained her side before a word was said—and then she laughed— “Oh, Mr. Riley, you look so funny. Won’t it be fun?” “Fun. huh? Well, kindly point it out to me, for I fail to sec it!” Slightly aggrieved at his tone, she replied. “Yes, fun. Because I’ve told every blessed girl in Winthrop what’s up, and they'll be as nice as nice can be. Don’t ask me how I know—I told you I’m a fairy.” Again not waiting for his thanks, she dashed away and vanished behind the nearest building. Much encouraged, he advanced to Winthrop Hall and shiveringly waited for the girls to appear. By this time he was so cold he could hardly talk to the first one who appeared. Soon a cluster of laughing girls surrounded him. each doing her best to set him at case. Finally one suggested—“We can sneak in the side door of Maynard and if I’m not mistaken Stella Wright is giving a breakfast party. There may be some hot coffee, toast and omelet left.” So. forming a protective phalanx about him, the girls conducted him to the best-looking breakfast he had seen for some time. Hungrily he attacked it and ate while his hostesses looked on. enjoying his evident embarrassment. By nine-thirty he was home again, having fully enjoyed his sojourn with the Amazons, and glad that his task for the day was over. 1 Ie received a severe MMIIIIIIIUHMIIIIIMI IIMNMMHM t M2 ] reprimand for cutting class—but this was nothing to the cold snubs he had expected to receive from the girls across the way. The next noon at lunch, one of the underclassmen brought a tiny sealed note to Tom. “Thomas Peter Riley shall this afternoon at the 3:45 recreation hour propose to one girl of Stanley. 1 Ic must not know her name nor anything about her. He must rcjjort to us at 9: 30 tonight what her answer has been.” With difficulty did the boy choke down the remainder of his meal. With a hasty excuse—something to the effect that he was ill—he pushed back his chair and dashed to his room. “Great Hat! Propose to a girl!” His brain simply refused to work; but suddenly the remembrance of a pair of merry eyes came to his rescue. Why of course—the very otic. She knew everything—she'd know enough to laugh and say no. It was true—he knew nothing of her, not even her name. Anyway she was pretty-—one couldn’t propose to a homely girl, even in fun. So when 3:45 came, our hero marched bravely forth. He climbed the hill and then—then his inward quakings almost overcame him. Hut the surety of “Her” sense of humor bucked him up somewhat. Next the question of where to find her appeared; but this was solved by the miracle-like appearance of the lady herself. The following dialogue ensued. Tom—“Nice afternoon.” She—“Oh yes, very. Winter is so delightful.” Tom—“Most—yes—yes—very delightful. Hut some people—” She—“Don't think it is?” Tom—“Well, no—that isn’t it—what I meant to say is some people arc more—” She—“Oh, I see.” Tom—“Glad you do. I don’t.” She—“And how was the breakfast?” Tom—“Oh—could you provide such breakfasts for all the time—” She—“Mr. Riley—what do you mean?” Tom—“That is—you—oh, hang it!” She—“Oh. dear—something is troubling you!” Tom—“Oh. no—yes—that is nothing except—I’ve got to ask you—say— whatever your name is—will you marry me?” She—“Marry you! Oh, Tom, this is so sudden—but—of course I will. Imagine a deafening thunderbolt out of a clear sky on a January day and you will perhaps get just how these words sounded to Tom. For a few minutes there was absolute silence while he stared unbelieving at the girl. Then—“Marry me!—Oh, very well.” And he looked at her again. “Hut Tommy, when people arc engaged they usually—well, kiss each other,” she said shyly. “Oh, yes, I forgot.” Giving her a tiny peck on one cheek with a murmured goodbye he ran as lie had never run before. Straight up the stairs to his room, ZE:r TF?z=iu 7=ir i banging the door behind him before he stopped; then lie dropped lifelessly into a chair before the fireplace. “Whew! Me engaged. Why, my gosh, what will Dad say? Here he said I must not think seriously of any girl until I was out of school—Ouch!” and with a groan he slipped down farther in his chair. “Well, well, Tom old boy. Then you’ll have to carry out the rest of our instructions. Here, Law, call up Dr. Fogarty and tell him to come up to school. You meet him and bring him up, and don’t let anyone sec he’s a minister. And you, Rick, go for the girl—by the way, Tom, what's her name?” “I don’t know—and I don’t care. Oh-h-h!” and he buried his face in his hands. The grand master turned to another fellow—“Who is she—you saw him do it?” “Yea, bo—I know who the unlucky maiden is,” and he left straightway. For ten minutes there was silence, then with a start Tom straightened up. “Oh, hang it all—if I’ve got to do it, I’ll do it gracefully. That girl is too nice to be treated like dirt—so, well, I don’t want to marry, but I'll do it. Maybe I’ll get used to it.” Then they all heard a girlish voice—“Oh, but this must be most improper.” Suddenly Tom turned—“Say, Morris, you know you always bet I’d—say, fellows, where is Morris, and Grant, too?’’ as he saw only seventeen in the group about him. He was told—“Oh, they are out skirmishing for eats.” Then the bride-to-be, blushing quite becomingly, was led to her prospective husband and the minister stood before them. Minister—“Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband,” etc. The Girl—“I do” (loudly). Minister—“Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife,” etc. Tom—“I do” (very weakly). Minister—“Then I pronounce you, Thomas Peter Riley, a full-fledged, honorable member of the royal society of the Red Dragon.” Tom gasped—and looked up to find standing beside him in girl’s clothes with a wig in his hand Morris Gary, himself, while the minister, doffing his glasses and clerical make-up. revealed himself as Grant Bell. “Morris Gary—you old reprobate you! Oh, I should have known—I knew how good you were at female impersonations, but I didn’t connect the two. Relief, joyous and ringing, showed in every tone of poor Tom's voice. Ted was speaking—“And I must say, old fellow, you were a dandy good sport—wasn’t he?” “You bet—three cheers for Riley—hip, hip, hurray!” responded the watching boys. Then they crowded around the new member, and the next two hours were full of congratulations, smoke, music, and refreshments. When all the fellows had departed and Tom was in his own room, he sat by the fireplace thinking of the events of the last three days. Finally, too tired to keep his eyes open longer, he climbed into bed. But his last waking thought was of a pair of merry brown eyes and—“S’ too bad—she was such a dandy girl.” f 144 ) Finis YOF arc now at the end of our First Book; Before you go further. Stop! Listen!

DEB Author of “Brainless Billy,’ “To the North Pole in a Union Suit, “To the South Pole in u Hurry, “The Cheese llouiiil in Modern Warfare, etcetera, and eczema This is the most unauthoritative and incomplete work ever published on the subject and should he read by every freshman if lie, or she, wants to get kicked out of school in a hurry. In the first place, high school is just a joke. Xobody ever studies. If you doubt this, just ask some of the teachers. If a freshman studied, all popular belief in this matter would be upset. When you come into the school for the first time, go into the office, slap the gentleman in charge on the back and say, “Hello, there, old sack supporter, how’s chances of getting an easy program with lots of vacation?” He will be very much pleased at your friendliness and will probably give you quite a prolonged vacation. Your gymnasium teacher will be very pleased if you are a bright and witty scholar. When lie lines you up for roll call and says, “Right face.” tell him it is your right face, but you can’t help it—you were born that way. He will probably mention it to the whole class, what a witty person you are. If lie asks you to step out of ranks, be sure of finding out all particulars before you leave. Undoubtedly you will want a locker. Ticket for locker and lunch room can be procured from any senior for the sum of twenty-five cents (two bits in good English), or whatever more you have. For a little change after all this dry, quiet time at school, take some young lady to the movies. (It is most stylish to take a senior girl or teacher.) Any good movie is an appropriate place to take her. After the movie, take her to Smith’s or Ivey’s. You will proliablv want chocolate sundaes, because that’s what they all get. If they haven’t chocolate sundaes, get them anyway. They’ll try to kid you because they can tell by the verdant color that you are a Freshman. Just don’t let anybody kid you. After that you can take her home if she hasn’t already gone. If all these instructions arc carefully carried out you surely ought to be decorated with a distinguished bravery cross when you graduate, if you ever do.

On the way they saw a dog chase a couple ot Katz up a tree that a man was Plantin. The dog was a fine Parker, but he was no climber, so the cats were safe. Well, they hadn’t been on the water long when the sky turned Gray, and she began to scream, first because she saw a Roach crawling over her dress and then because the canoe, on account of the hard Knox that he gave the intrusive bug. showed sign of living up to its Tippery reputation.
