Coining to Central three years ago from Spokane. Washington. Miss Broomhall took an active part in the various school activities. She was the faculty adviser of the Spanish Club, a contributor to the News, and a loyal supporter of every student undertaking. Miss Broomhall also wrote extensively, having been the author of two Spanish text books, and numerous poems, plays, and children’s verses. Central’s student body and faculty greatly mourn the loss of Miss Broomhall. Her true friendship, exceptional cleverness, and geniality of manner won her many friends and admirers. Though the loss of Miss Broomhall will lie keenly felt in the activities of Central, the student body and faculty will always remember her as an instructor, author, poet, and above all a true friend. TTTTT1 icbEill : g§eiblB[ xirgnfz xi iin FI The School THE Commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty ' Inscribed in flaming words above the open portal of Central High School, this divine conviction has been a living call to the forces working with the institution, awakening them to the fact that the opportunities of education blaze the trail to greater responsibilities. THE HGDL C. W. Boardman CHARLES W. BOARDMAN, former Central assistant principal, resigned from the faculty on April 15 to accept the position of secretary of the Calhoun Commercial Club. Mr. Boardman came to Central in September, 1911. He taught public speaking and debating, and was active in high school newspaper work. In 1916 he became assistant principal. While at Central Mr. Boardman made many friends and his loss will Ik keenly felt by the student body and faculty, although they all wish him success in his new position. Miss Ida V. Probett Dean of Students of Central, is one of the best known and best beloved members of Central's faculty. It is Miss Probett's duty to advise each student on the problems that face him during his high school career. Her pleasing personality, and ever readiness to aid and advise the students, makes Miss Probett a true friend of every Centralitc. The Faculty Hargreaves, Richard T. University of Kansas. A. B.

Gustav Pries Robert Hankins Publicity Manager Homer Tathem Staff Secretaries Margaret Wolcott Daisybelle Sargent mu NEWS STAFF News Review WITH excellent support from the student body, and unlimited co-operation among the members of the staff, the News had one of the most successful years of its eixstenee during the school year of 1920-1921. The winning of the state high school newspaper contest at Carlcton College was the feature of the year’s work. During the past year the News has done many things towards enlarging and improving the paper. In order to stimulate interest in the use of better English, a slogan contest was held in connection with the Good English Week. A politeness contest was also held. New office equipment was added to the News room and over 2.000 subscriptions were secured, this being the largest circulation the News has ever had. By virtue of this large subscription list, the News has been placed on a firm financial basis. The first High School Journalistic Convention was held at Carleton College in January. In the contest for weekly newspapers, the News was chosen as the best school paper in the state. A new era in high school journalism was marked at this convention by the forming of the Minnesota State High School Press Association. Through the activities of this organization the various school papers will have a chance to get into closer touch with one another, and it will allow a larger interchange of ideas. The News also entered the inter-state high school journalism contest at Beloit College in May. To each individual member of this year’s staff goes the credit for the success of the News. The present staff wishes to thank the student body and the faculty for their support, and to express to Mr. Mulligan, the faculty adviser, its deep appreciation for his work, as the members feel that he has been chiefly instrumental in the growth of the News during the past year. To next year’s staff, the retiring members wish the greatest possible success. Donald Rogers. Edilor-in-Chief. The Central High Cadet Corps Dl’RING the past year there has been an advance of some extent in the status of the cadet corps of the Minneapolis high schools. The War Department, in August, 1920, authorized the formation of a junior unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps in this city. The number of cadets was limited to five hundred, the quota of Central High School being one hundred and twenty. All equipment and uniforms are furnished by the War Department and commissioned and non-commissioned assistant instructors. The officers in charge of the cadet corps in Minneapolis are Major Tom Fox, Commandant, and Major W. S. McWade, Assistant Commandant. The cadets have been very active since last June. The Central companies, with those of West and East High Schools, spent four days in camp at Fort Snelling in June of last year. The cadets performed all the duties of soldiers including night guard and outpost duty, advance guard, target practice on the Snelling range, trench warfare and that romantic duty, kitchen police. This year there will be a camp for five days and probably a thirty-day encampment at Central with cadets from other states. In the competitive drill Central has held top honors. In June. 1920, a Central company for the second time earned the privilege to carry for another year the colors presented by the Scottish Rite Masons. December, 1920, witnessed the competition for the Lion’s Club sabre, in which Company B of Central under Captain Hugo Erickson, tied with Company A of West; and Central’s Company A, with Captain Rollin Dobbins commanding, won second place. At a second drill in January, Captain Erickson’s company won the sabre, which must be won again liefore becoming Central’s permanent property. The cadet companies also starred socially, presenting two military hops, in Central's gymnasium, and an “army feed” at North High. I 20 1 Major McWade TO all who have ever known him. Major W. S. McWade has personified a distinct type of mankind. Blessed with a keen sense of humor, the geniality of a good fellow, the understanding sympathy of one in whose care secrets are secure, the briskness and energy of one younger than himself, the versatility of a magician, and a reliable nature, he has been honored by his cadets and all others alike as a real man. Coming to Central High School to take charge of the Military Training Department, Major McWade won his way into the hearts in a short time, although his duties as military instructor demanded proper disciplinary methods on his part. Since coming here, his rank has been promoted from captain to major. [ 21 ] IM]KSEJ ISD5HS22SS0SI aGSE m Central High Orchestra FOURTEEN years ago our orchestra began its career in Old Central High. Its leader, Mr. Pehoushek, built this little orchestra of five violins, a cornet, and a piano into one of the largest amateur orchestras in the Twin Cities—yes, in the Northwest. Mr. Pehoushek patiently struggled with this crude little organization down in Old Central night after night. He contended with lack of players and equipment which the average conductor would not have had the patience to put up with five minutes. Mr. Pehoushek realized that some day this organization of five violins, a cornet, and piano might develop into one of the l est school orchestras in Minneapolis. By hard digging he built up an orchestra which today has seventy members. At assemblies, at all school entertainments, graduation exercises, class plays, frolics, the orchestra is always present to give an entertaining program. The production of Robin Hood by the Glee Club and Orchestra was the biggest feat the organization has attempted, and it certainly gave it in a masterly manner. During the past seven years it has assisted the Glee Club in presenting the operas, and each time it has done better than the time before. Besides playing at all the school entertainments, the Orchestra has played at Calvary Baptist Church and at the Thirty-sixth Street Branch Library. On account of the building ordinance, which prevented the production of severul plays and amateur theatricals, the Orchestra was denied the privilege of appearing a number of times. Mr. Pehoushek has tirelessly devoted his time, his energy, and his talents to the interests of this organization. His excellent leadership has gained for our Orchestra the prominence it now enjoys. Central recognizes this fact and therefore extends its deep appreciation to Mr. Pehoushek. without whose efforts we probably would not have this Orchestra, which has brought to Central High School so much glory and honor. I i i , Underclassmen pROM small beginnings do great things grow. The underclassmen of the school serve as an unfailing barometer of the later scholastic and athletic achievement of Central High School. Previously taken into consideration by the upper classmen only to a scanty degree, the underclassman of today is recognized as one whose mental faculties are on a plane in common with others, needing only the guiding influence of one or two years of sincere advice from his teachers before taking his place in the front ranks. mu r 25 i Freshman Section ON the eighth day of September, timid groups of cleanly washed and neatly dressed boys and girls could be seen hurrying up the front steps of Central High School, thinking it was the one entrance to that Hall of Education, only to be sternly met by a male guard telling them to enter at the South door, as this one was sacred to the faculty alone. Retracing their steps, with bent heads, they hurried around to the side entrance, their eyes fixed on the ground, too fearful to look up, lest they meet the stern ga e of some one who might question their right of being there. Huddled together, for fear some wolf of an upper-classman might scare them to death by a leer, or a threat, or a remark, they tiptoed down what seemed to be an endless hall. Settled here, they were introduced to the subject to be taught in that room. Suddenly there sounded out into the stillness, an awful gong, like a fire-hell, nearly frightening them out of their wits. The kind-faced teacher told them it was only the signal to change classes, and that they would hear it every forty-five minutes each dav. They were pulled along by the crowd and in their wanderings, not knowing where to look for the numbers of their rooms, they drifted far past the door of their destination. After retracing the hall several times, a kind Senior came along and directed them to their classes. The first thing that happened for Freshmen, after they were settled, was the Girls’ Club party for their little sisters in October. This year, a new plan, for numbers on the program, was adopted, proving very successful. Different club members were put in charge of Freshmen adviser rooms, that the little sisters might form a part of the program. A prize was offered for the best number, and for this reason, three judges were necessary, who caused much of the laughter which issued from the lips of the tender Freshmen. The stunt which was awarded the prize was a skit entitled “Advertisements,” produced under the direction of Jean Cotton, one of the Junior girls. Dancing and refreshments in the gym followed the program. Nothing happened for them until the January Girls’ Club party. The most interesting number on this program was a revue number, given by the Freshmen girls in room 122B. under the direction of Mary Adams and Zeona Austin. A very clever little dance was included in it. Again the judges were the joke of the afternoon. Then the Ili-Y. unwilling to be outdone by their sister club, gave a reception for the Freshmen boys. This occurred on the evening of February 18 in the gym. Judge E. F. Waite gave an interesting talk to the boys and Donald Rogers followed him. The newly formed Triangle Club was also brought to their attention. After playing some very exciting games they adjourned to the lunchroom for refreshments. [ 26 1 ers: DSIBE!E2 1H[I aS]=[gn At the beginning of the spring term the G. A. A. decided to take a hand for the benefit of the girls, and four parties were given for them, entertaining twenty at a time. This number was made necessary because the office decided that no large parties should be given. The officers planned the parties, selecting five or more girls to help them. The afternoons were spent in listening to musical numbers. playing games, and in feasting upon the dainties offered for refreshments. This past year, something was started for these youngsters, that none of us have ever enjoyed before, that is their assemblies, up in the Music Room, all by themselves. (Now hearken. Seniors! We heard it because they talked too much! But don’t tell anybody, nobody is supposed to know.) Mr. Boardman had charge of them. Every time the upperclassmen had an assembly, they had one, too. All the speakers had to go up to Room 400 and address the Freshmen. They always saw the team when the others did and every time the rooter-kings or the Glee Club weren’t in use downstairs, they were being used in the Music Room. To make their assemblies more interesting, they selected two cheer leaders. Lawrence Brown and Stanley Thompson. If these two boys stay in school. Central has some good rooter-kings to look forward to. One learns many things from one visit. We learned that Mr. Boardman’s favorite song is “Bubbles.” Under Mr. Morse’s direction, they have learned all the songs that upper class know, including the “school song.” On November 16, in order to show the purpose of Good English Week, a play called “In Grammar Land” was produced at the assembly. The members of the cast were Freshmen and Sophomores, hearing such names as Is, Are. Were. He, Off, etc.; words which are often incorrectly used in our everyday speech. Mr. Webster, assistant superintendent of schools, concluded the program with a talk on the value of good English. In January Miss Probelt spoke to the freshmen urging them to get into the game. Donald Rogers and Ed nund Montgomery told about the “News and the “Red and Blue Book respectively. But during all this time, the Freshmen had never had Mr. Hargreaves at one of their assemblies; so on January 20. a special assembly was called just for Freshmen (the rest of us endured long advisory periodsi and Mr. Hargreaves spoke to them. Mr. Mitchell also spoke, urging them to support their basketball team. Martin Norton was also reviewed by these people. Then also, for the first tin e„ they heard lhe( faculty sextette. By this time, you see, their knowledge of Central’s activities was growing very rapidly. March 3. occurred the assenbly, which of all previous, was probably the most interesting. Besides being introduced to the book called the Centralian. they saw the whole first act of Robin Hood. It can well lie said that the Freshmen were a very appreciative audience. A Freshman Glee Club has also been formed which will work with the Senior Glee Club. As yet, nothing very definite has been done, but it is a certainty that great things may he expected in the future. I 27 I Y finishin ! the 1920-21 season with an unbroken string of victories, the Central Freshman basketball team ran true to form, duplicating the feat of the school team in two city championships in as many seasons. Opening the schedule with a 26-9 win over West, the Freshman team bowled over one opponent after the other, consistent team work and brilliant basket shooting showing up in each game, gladdening the hearts of those who are on the lookout for material for the next year’s regular squad. Freshman Basketball Team I 28 | ([Hcsj icsEass scsia nsisiiaQi Triangle Club Guided by the same Christian ideals which have made its “big brother,” the Hi-Y, a vital force in Central High, the Triangle Club has accomplished during the past year a great constructive work, the knitting together of the under- and upper-classmen into a closer relationship by a common bond of “good-fellowship.” Realization of the need for the establishment of this type of organization for Freshmen and Sophomores early brought the Triangle Club into existence. This organization has since proved itself valuable also as a training school for Hi-Y membership. Under the persevering leadership of George Beveridge, former Hi-Y president, and Steve Fleming, the boys have met each Thursday evening at the Central Y. M. C. A. with a fixed purpose in mind. “Strength of mind, spirit, and body” has been developed and maintained through the work of the leaders, who, working together with Ben Chapman, “Y secretary, whose influence among high schools is well known, have built up a solid wall of high Christian character about the club. During the last yearly term, the administration of the Triangle Club has been vested in the following officers: Jack Howard Eucene Carlson Gilbert Moy Paul Speer President I ice-president • Secretary Treasurer I 29 I Athletics SONS of Central march to glory!” In swelling pride the heart of the school goes out to its representatives on the gridiron, the basketball floor, the track, the baseball field or in the swimming tank. “Fight! Central, Fight!” Plow-many times has this backbone stiffening cry pierced the air as a Central team was sometimes forced to give way, only to rally on the next play in a grim, determined drive to victory. 5a' l 30 1 c OACHING the first Minneapolis high school team to ever win the Minnesota High School Basketball Championship is the enviable record established by Coach Weston W. Mitchell of the Red and Blue squad. During the past year Mitch coached both the football and basketball teams. At the close of the season the football squad had been so well drilled that it decisively drowned the Cast team which, had tied the championship West eleven. In this year’s basketball five, Mitch developed one of the best teams ever seen on a local floor. In the final game of the Carleton tournament against the heavier and larger New Ulm squad, the smooth running, clever playing and excellent teamwork of the Central five were excellent examples of Mitch’s superb coaching. The knowledge of the finer points of athletics, the knack of gaining the confidence of every man on the squad, and the ability to install pep and team work into his team all combine to make Mitchell one of the best prep-school coaches in the country.

During the 1920 season Coach Mitchell’s proteges won seven games and lost one in the local championship race, and then went to the tournament at Chicago where they won three of the four contests that they played there. Phis was considered an enviable record, but during the 1921 season, the Red and Blue quint surpassed all previous achievements by winning the city. Twin City, and the stale championships and going through their entire schedule of thirteen games without a single defeat. This remarkable record shows conclusively that the Central five was one of the strongest in the country. Since basketball was inaugurated as a major sport in the Minneapolis high schools three years ago, the game has been steadily progressing in popularity. During the past season the games were so well attended that on several occasions would-be spectators were turned away from the doors. And with the increase of popularity, the quality of basketball displayed by the local high school quints has been improving with each successive season. At the Iteginning of the 1921 season Couch Mitchell's prospects for another championship team were extremely bright with Captain Norton, Foster Edwards. Ted Clymer, and Joe Fleming, letter men of the previous year’s championship team, all out for their old positions. But the Red and Blue suffered a severe setback shortly after the beginning of the season when Ted Clymer’s knee, weakened by an old football injury, went back on him and put him out of athletics for the year. Joe Fleming was also incapacitated by illness during the greater part of the season. With Clymer and Fleming lost to the team. Coach Mitchell was forced to seek new material for the forward positions. In Jimmie Williams and “Pud” Moore his search was well rewarded, for these two players, making up in speed and floor work what they lacked in size, developed into a pair of first-class forwards. Gail Greenhalgh was an unknown quantity at the start of the season, but he improved rapidly until, at the close of the season, he was a premier standing guard. These three new men, with Captain Norton and Foster Edwards, both stars of the first magnitude, made up the first team with which Mr. Mitchell won the state championship. However, the coach was not forced to rely on these players alone, for he had an excellent array of substitutes to call upon when he needed them. Homer Tatham, Joe Fleming, and Rodli Erling all performed creditably during the season. ( u J Basketball Review THE features of the local championship race were the two North-Central games, both of which were close, hotly contested affairs. But in each game. Central's short pass style of attack together with the individual brilliancy of Norton and Edwards, carried the day for the Red and Blue. The other high school teams were all easy victims of the Central five. West, by finishing the schedule in a tie for second with North, earned the title of “dark horse. Coach Steffev of the Green and White quint built up a fast team from entirely raw material. Before the opening of the season, many of the local “experts” picked North to win the championship, but Coach Kennedy’s five proved to be erratic. South and East finished the season in a lie for last place with a record of one win and seven defeats apiece. Both of these quints displayed an inferior brand of basketball, and. although they always played hard, they succeeded only in swelling their opponent's scores. The classic of the season was the Minneapolis Central-St. Paul Central game for the championship of the Twin Cities. This event was held in the University Armory, and approximately three thousand basketball fans witnessed the game. Thanks to the excellent work of Norton and Greenhalgh, the Red and Blue was again victorious by the score of 19-9. W inning this game gave Central the right to represent this district at the annual state tournament at Carleton College, North-field. on March 17th and 18th. Here again the superb teamwork of the Central five won them first honors. After plowing their way through their preliminary games by successive defeats of Faribault, Sandstone, and St. Cloud, the team from Minneapolis was entitled to play for the state title, in the final game against New Ulm. Up to the last two minutes of this thrilling contest the two battled evenly, with the score lied most of the time. But in that final two minutes the redoubtable Captain Norton came through with two lieautiful baskets and the game ended 19-15 in favor of the Central quintet. It was the first time in nine years that a Twin City high school has l� een able to capture the state championship. In reviewing the season, one must not forget the achievement of Coach Henderson's freshman quint who also completed their schedule without a defeat. Both the freshmen ami the second team rendered valuable aid to the victorious first team by coming out night after night in practice and serving as the butt of tin varsity's ferocious attack. At a dinner at the home of Jimmie Williams, the letter men of the champion squad elected Gail Greenhalgh captain of the 1922 team. Greenhalgh is a steady, hard-working player, and will undoubtedly make an excellent leader for next year’s quint. Beside Greenhalgh. “Pud” Moore and Joe Fleming will be back again when Coach Mitchell gives the call for basketball candidates next winter. With this splendid nucleus, it is small wonder that Centra I ites are entertaining visions of a third consecutive championship team. [ 3a 1 ItlsTHBEI aM JgFTri g jZ5Xr I17gjrgrii|R}| : Personal Martin Norton finished his brilliant high school basketball career by captain ing the team that won the state championship this last season. In his three years of playing basketball for Central, he has won a reputation for himself as one of the premier preparatory school players of the country. Norton was a phenomenal dribbler, a fast and accurate passer, and possessed an uncanny eye for the basket. For three years he has been the unanimous choice for all-city running guard, besides making the all-American high school quint in 1920 and the all-state team in 1921. What greater honors could a high school player win? Gail Greenhalgh. captain-elect of the champions, was unheard of when Coach Mitchell issued the call for candidates last November. But as the season progressed it became more and more evident that he was a “find.” Greenhalgh has no superior in the local high schools as a standing guard. His ability to break up an opponent’s play was remarkable, and his judgment in a pinch was unerring. He is steady and should make an ideal captain for the 1922 Bed and Blue team. Foster Edwards was by far the classiest of the centers in the Twin Cities. The lanky Central pivot man never failed to get the jump on the opposing center and was one of the principal cogs in the offensive machine that did not lose a single game all season. Edwards was second only to his team-mate, Norton, in the matter of individual scoring, dropping in twenty-seven baskets in the eight games of the local schedule. Foster was also invaluable on the defense, being scored I I 36 1 upon only three times during the entire season. He has the honor of being chosen for all-citv center for two successive seasons and it is certain that the Red and Blue will miss him next year. “Jimmie” Williams was often called “a little streak of lightning,” and well he deserved the name. The scrappy little forward was an indispensable part of the Central team-work and owned a good eye for the basket. But his principal work was feeding the ball to Norton and Edwards, and the way in which he did this contributed a great deal toward the success of the season. Williams was also an excellent player on the defense, often breaking up the opponents’ plays before thev were fairly started. “Pud” Moore was another player who developed rapidly as the season progressed. At the completion of the schedule, Moore was considered one of best forwards in the city, and his playing at the state tournament at Carleton won him a place on the all-state team. “Pud” is a quick, sure passer, and a good shot at the basket. And the best part of it is, “Pud” was only a freshman and has three years more of basketball. Joe Fleming played all season under the handicap of poor health, but when he was well enough to play he invariably gave his opponents plenty of trouble. Fleming is big and fust and will undoubtedly win a lot of honors in the two years that he has yet to play for Central. Homer Tatham was a big stationary guard, and it was very seldom that an opposing team got a close shot at the basket while he was in the game. Tatham always played hard and gave his best.

With very few veterans returned, Coach Mitchell rounded into shape a team which was feared by every school in the city. Central was much handicapped by the lack of a proper field upon which to practice, but although hindered in that respect they never lost their fighting spirit and love for clean play, which has so long characterized the Red and Blue team. West, with one win and a forfeit, won the championship although outplayed and outfought in nearly every game. They were inferior in real football ability but it seemed that luck was with them. The season was one of many upsets, disappointments and surprises. North, with one loss and three ties, got last place although really one of the best bets of the season. Although hard luck prevailed against Central, she put up a hard clean fight and, whether victor or loser, always stood for clean sportsmanship and manliness. Coach Thompson’s South High warriors were Central’s first contestants. They entered the field with a much heavier and older team, and this showed to their advantage as the game progressed. Central was defeated by a score of 7-0, partly due to the fact that the Red and Blue hackficld fumbled the ball when within scoring distance of the Orange and Black goal. This proved disastrous in the first half when Cleve of South raced around left end for a touchdown. Iiv the second half Central battled them to a tie but were unable to score. Captain Hall, although just recovering from an operation, was the mainstay of the line. Ginsberg at tackle and Ballentine at full also played well. Central next fought North to a scoreless tie at North High field. According to the reports from the Blue and White camp. North was considered to be a heavy favorite, but neither team was able to penetrate the secondary defense which each presented. The Red and Blue opened the game with some neat gains but penalties proved costly and Central failed to score when nearest to the goal. Never once was our goal endangered in the first half, but in the second, by the efforts of Mason of North, the Blue and White carried the pigskin w ithin ten, yards of the line. Central’s line held and forced Mason to dropkick at which he failed. The whistle blew after Central had started a rally and the game ended. For the Red and Blue, Hale, Ginsberg, Captain Hall, and Ballentine starred. Dick Hale furnished the sensation of the day by a neat thirty-yard run. Central’s next opponent was the West High eleven, which although made up of new men, was considered to be a leading contender for the title. The Red and Blue was handicapped by the loss of Dick Hale, at quarterback, who had reached the age of twenty-one years, thus rendering him ineligible to participate in High School athletics. From the first of the game, it was easily seen that Norton was running the team with precision and that the Central men would fight to the last. In the first half the Red and Blue team outplayed the Green and W'hite in every department of the game, but every time Norton would make a gain Central I I 39 1 TlsHit q ggi'P-i h °: 7sxrqmzsCT i;[|a] was penalized for offsides. This proved very costly for two or three times it looked as if the Red and Blue was going to score, only to be thrown back by the referee’s decision. The second half opened with both teams determined to score, and West’s hopes were realized. A bad pass from the center over Ballentine’s head was recovered by a West man and followed by an end run, the Green and White was able to put the ball over for the only touchdown. With only a few minutes to play Central opened up with some beautiful passes by Edwards to Norton and Ballentinc, and these added by a wonderful run from a punt by Norton brought the Central team to within twenty yards from the goal line. However, the whistle blew and West went off the field a victor by a score of 7-0. Norton was easily the star of the game and both he and Hall proved themselves all-city caliber. Clymer at end and Ballentine at full drew favorable comment from sport writers. Stevenson’s East High eleven was Central’s last opponent. East had not lost a game this year, barring a forfeit to West, and the Red and Blue were determined to beat them. Central opened the game with some long end runs which netted a touchdown in the first quarter. This gave Central the real pep which the Central rooters were waiting for, but the half ended before they could score another counter. The second half opened with East fighting desperately, but the Red and Blue never wavered. Another counter was added to Central’s heap and the game ended with the Red and Blue on the long end of a 14-0 score. Norton’s work at quarterback was little short of wonderful and Clvmer's work at end was not far behind. Captain Hall and Thompson kept Central’s line. On the whole the team worked together and every Centralite was glad to go home a decided victor of East’s eleven. Much credit must lx? given to Coach Mitchell who was ably assisted by Mr. Henderson. These two men worked hard and deserve a great deal of the credit for turning out such a team. With Captain Norton and such men as Fleming, Moore, Sullivan, Thompson, Beilaire and Carlisle back, Central’s hopes for a championship are far from gloomy. I 40 1 I 41 1 H M g Zs5jgiZaSTgni|H0| Baseball ALTHOtGH Central did not get the championship in baseball in 1920, it had the honor and satisfaction of beating every team once. South, with seven victories and one defeat by Central, received its championship. The season opened with very few letter men, but under the coaching of Mr. Throner and captained by Jimmie Peterson, the Red and Blue turned out a fast and scrappy team. Central's main handicap was the lack of a proper field on which to practise. and this drawback could be seen very clearly when the Red and Blue played on a good diamond. Harry Masters was the only hurler back from last year, but with aid of Foster Edwards, Central's pitching staff grew to be feared greatly by the other schools. Although Central feels the loss of Mr. Throner. who has coached the Central baseball teams for many seasons, confidence is fell in Mr. Henderson who will take up the job of coaching the team this year. With such men as Williams, Clynier. Norton, Edwards. Masters, and Moore back this spring, the prospects for a championship are anything but gloomy.

Pete is one of the l est first baseman in the c ity. His best game was the last South encounter. Captain-elect Clymer comes from a baseball family and from every angle he shows it. Ted played second base last year and. with him on the keystone sack. Central is satisfied. Foster Edwards has the distinction of being the only pitcher in the city who was able to defeat South High. He pitched three games and won all three. Great things are expected from him this year. Harry Masters is one of the best pitchers in the city. His peculiar delivery is a mystery to the opposing hatters. Harry has been with us three years and is back again this year. Good luck to you, Harry! Frank Hale played right field last year. He was the hardest hitter in the city. His best game was with West. Frank graduated and his loss will be keenly felt. Hoy Anderson was one of the best outfielders in the city. You could always depend upon Roy to get one or two hits a game and to field perfectly. Roy graduated and right field will look hare without him. “Pud” Moore played short and center field. He is only a freshman but he showed his worth in every game. He has a great future before him. Jimmie Williams also played at short. He was the smallest man to win his letter and he surely earned it. Jimmie was tin only man who knocked a home-run for Central last year. Cliff Glenny played third base, and it was not surprising to see him in the air picking them out of the sky. None could beat him at fielding and running the bases. Cliff graduated and his loss will be hard to fill. Crawshaw played center field. He showed up well in the latter part of the season. His best game was with East. Martin Norton caught behind the bat. He could judge the batter and could catch the opposing men on the base. Nort will probably catch again this year. Arthur Ryan also caught. His l est game was with South. He was new at it last year and with some experience he should catch almost anything. Art’s best gift was the “gift of gab” and he could certainly rattle the batter. Wally Lampher was the man who was called upon to hit in a pinch in the second South game and he did not disappoint his team. Wally will probably lie back again this year. [ 43 1 SFi8 —re=jgS Track CENTRAL'S 1919 192(3 track team finished in second place in the local inter scholastic race, while West, with a well balanced team, easily captured first honors. About sixty candidates answered Coach I .a Fromboise’s call for practice early in November. The Novice Meet on December 17, the All-Freshmen Meet on January 28, and the annual Red and Blue Meet on March 3, did much to develop the athletes, and to give La Fromboisc a chance to discover his best material. Walloping South 81-5 on March 4, Central's team displayed unforecasted strength in all events. Skobba and Hale, with fourteen points each, were the high point men of the meet. East was Central’s next victim, the Red and Blue tracksters beating the Cardinal team 64-% to 30% on April 9. Scribner of Central, by taking first in the high and low hurdles and tieing for first in the broad jump, was the high point man. Harold Hirt. the speedy little East captain, lowered the city 140 record by running the event in 57 4-5 seconds. Picked by most dopesters to be badly beaten by West, Central pulled a big surprise on April 16 by holding the Green and White team to a five point victory. West clinching the indoor championship by a 50-45 count. Rugg of West, with a total of nine points, was high man, while Scribner, with a total of seven points, led the Red and Blue tracksters. This meet concluded the indoor schedule. Letter Men Lyall Scribner “Scrib was one of our best liets in the high hurdles. He was also a broad jumper of ability. George Stover George, the captain-elect was perhaps the best all around man on the team. He competed in the 220, broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. Frank McWhorter “Mac” was the boy that made Rugg of West extend himself to set the city record in the high jump. “Mac made 5 feet 6 inches. George Bellaire Bellaire developed into one of the best pole vaulters Central has ever had. He constantly cleared the bar around 11 feet. Howard Cooper Although only a freshman, Cooper established himself as the fastest man in the city in the 100 yard dash. We expect great things from him in the future. Douglas Forbes “Doug” was a good hurdler and 220 man. Francis Lovely Lovely was the other man to win a place at Carleton. He placed in the low hurdles and 440. Louis Harris Harris made a good 440 man. His best time was 59:4, made in the West meet. Don McLaughlin “Me” was Central's best half-miler. His best showing was made in the indoor meet with West. Lawrence LaFontaine “Babe” was one of Central's two men who won places at Carleton. He hurdles and throws the discus. j ( 41 ! J. C. Henderson JC. HENDERSON, Central's gymnasium instructor and athletic coach, joined t the faculty last September. He came to Central from the Atchison High School in Kansas, where he held the position of athletic director. During the past year “J. C. helped coach the football team. He also tutored the Freshman basketball team which won the city championship and coached the 1921 baseball squad. L. E. Orr COMING to Central last September to succeed Guy Throner as athletic director Coach L. E. Orr has been active in gymnastic and athletic activities during the past year. Mr. Orr was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and was then connected with athletics in the Cleveland and Philadelphia schools. During the past year Mr. Orr helped, to coach the football squad, tutored the cross-country team and was coach of the track squad.

Central’s racquet wielders downed West for the city title, and tied St. Paul Central for the Northwestern Interscholastic championship. When the season started, the Red and Blue team had three veterans. Captain Roy Anderson, Charles Caton, and Martin Norton back. The school tennis tournament was held the latter part of May, and Sidney Crowell, by winning the tournament, secured the right to be the fourth man on the team. West was defeated by the Red and Blue net team in the first meet of the season. Anderson of Central defeated Wheetman of West in straight sets. Norton of Central won his games from Adams of West, while Mitchell of West downed Caton of Central.

Caton reached the semi-finals. Caton and Norton will be back again this year. With them as the nucleus of the team. Central should be well represented in this sport this year. Those who received minor “C’s” are Captain Anderson. Captain-elect Caton, and Norton. l 48 1 Bill ssu A December, 1920 DEAR CLASSMATES: The four years we have spent at Central are now a memory, but they have left a lasting impression upon our characters. During these years we have learned lessons that we shall never forget: we have learned the value of service, of sacrifice, of devotion to duty. We owe a great debt to those who have led us during our school life—the faculty of the school. W ithout thought of themselves they have sought to help us make the most of our opportunities. Whatever service we may have rendered to the school has been small when compared with what they have done for us. May we leave our appreciation of their efforts. Now, us we enter a larger sphere of service, may we not forget those firm principles and high ideals formed by us at Central; rather, let us so live that we may honor our school, and serve Cod and our Country. Sincerely, your president. Stephen Fleming. [ 49 I Averii.l, Virginia T. Ami tin lx. ! of me is diligence. Anderson, Ethel F.

I -Vi 1 mss ESS BasassBsazssES Chronicles of the Tribe of December, I 920 By Aileen Drake 1. And it came to pass, near the end of the days of the first month of the year, a horde of strangers, of a green and sickly hue, approached the border of Central Highschoolium. 2. And Greer, high chief and ruler, did receive us and he did arrange that henceforth we should occupy the first division of the land, and should be known as the Tribe of December, 1920, otherwise “Freshies.” 3. And we did bring with us eight period days, for which we were disliked greatly, at first, by the older and higher tribes. 4. Yea, verily, we did learn exceedingly much in the first year of Highschoolium. 5. In the first days of our second year, Hargreaves, the new high-chief and ruler of Central Highschoolium did permit us to move to the second province of the land, and be known as “Sophomorites.” 6. And it came to pass that all the country did fight great enemies. 7. And though too young to fight ourselves, members of the tribe did do their part, yea, even knitting, to win the war. 8. Know then, that every year, Central Highschoolium was challenged forth to deeds of valor by the warriors of the other races in the Eastern, Northern. Southern, and Western parts of Highschoolium. 9. And many responded and many times did they vanquish the proud warriors. 10. And in the third year of our abode in Highschoolium, we did dwell in the third province, and were known as “Juniorites.” 11. And being without leaders, we did meet in that part of Highschoolium known as the “Aud,' to choose our chieftains. 12. Lo! “Bevo” was made chief, “Davisa,” sub-chief, “Nelsonia,” scribe, and “Kricksona, keeper of the revenues. 13. And “Bevo did declare, “The Tribe must have some sign of union” and we did choose a pin for the Tribe. 1-1. And it came to pass, after some months, that we did choose new leaders: “Pratt,” chief, “Chapellia,” sub-chief, “Craddicka,” scribe, and “Ericksona. keeper of the revenues. 15. Know then, that the Tribe was flighty and gay in this third year. I 57 1 16. At the beginning of the fourth year, as we were exceedingly wise, Hargreaves did permit us to move into the next highest position of Highschoolium and Ik known as “C” Seniorites. 17. And we did choose ‘Fleiningo,” chief, “Davisa, sulvchief, “Drakum,” scribe, and “Ericksona. keeper of the revenues. 18. Know then that near the end of our prosperous term in “B” division, “Flemingo” did summon the tribe to conclave in the “Aud.” 19. And we did decide to make merry with Dance. 20. And it came to pass that we made merry at “Promenade Journee,” and we did become much experienced in making merry with the Dance. 21. And having becorre hoary and wise, we were permitted by high-chief Hargreaves to occupy highest position in Central Highschoolium. 22. And we did once more meet to choose chieftains and leaders. 23. “Flemingo” was again made chief. “Drakum,” sub-chief. “Davisa, scribe, and “Hubhardo, keeper of the revenues. 2-1. Know then, that the leaders did choose many committees to arrange for our final day in Highschoolium. 25. And the Tribe made merry with an evening dance, November 21, and all was successful. 20. And “Nothing But the Truth was told before a large tribal gathering from Highschoolium. 27. Lo! It was a great success with Akervold and Crowell as chief performers. 28. And “Flemingo” did decree, “December 8 shall be a festal day for the Tribe, and it shall stop work and be merry on said day, which is known as ‘Class Day.’ ” 29. And December 9 was set for the last rites and cere nonials before the Tribe should leave Central Highschoolium forever. 30. And it came to pass, yea verily, that the Tril e of December. 1920. did make a name for itself, for which it will long Ik- remembered by all the Tribes of Highschoolium, and it will never forget its Alma Mater. I 58 1 Nothing But the Truth TyJOTHING Bl)T THE TRUTH ' the delightfully entertaining play of the December, 1920, class was presented December 3rd to a large and appreciative audience. The story concerns the trials of a young man. Bob Bennett, who attempts to tell the truth for twenty-four hours in order to win a l et. He is involved in many difficulties with his employer and his sweetheart, but everything ends happily. The theme of this play shows clearly what an important part of our social life is played by little “white lies. Sidney Crowell made a very gallant Bob Bennett. His veracity surely was not to be questioned, and his acting was splendid. The part of Gwen, Bob's fiance, was well portrayed by Esther Akervold. Her acting was good at all times, and particularly so when she questioned Bob about his former love affairs. The character of Ethel, her guest, was well played by Alfreda Davis. She was deeply insulted when Bob told her the “truth” about her singing, but was consoled later. Evelyn Kirk assumed the role of Gwen's mother very charmingly. She acted with great poise and dignity. The parts of Mable and Sable were played by era Stone and Lucille Moffatt, respectively. They interpreted their parts very cleverly and added a great deal to the success of the play. Leonard Wahlhcrg appeared as B. M. Ralston, a shrewd and rather unscrupulous business man. His business associates, Clarence Van Duzen and Dick Donelly, played by Thomas Palmer and Miller Sale, afforded much amusement by their schemes against Bob. Kenneth Aldrich was vcr good as Bishop Doran, a meek little man who had no head for business. His consternation at finding that he had been swindled in a business deal brought gales of laughter from the audience. The costumes were very pretty and the scenery was very attractive. Great appreciation is due to Mrs. Whittaker, who coached this play. It is the first play she has coached for Central and it was pronounced a great success by everyone who saw it. I -S') I TsiHBasmg h h ■= jzgxrqnizgaansiiani December, 1920, Class Prophecy By Elizabeth Craddick JT WAS a dark, wintry night, that of December 9th. 19141. which was set for the reunion of the Class of December ’20, Central High School, after twenty years’ separation. There was to he a dinner at the old school and the response to the announcements sent out indicated that every member of the class would Ik present. At six o’clock promptly, 1 closed my store, the Ground Gripper Shop, and accompanied by Dr. Helen North, the vertebrae specialist to whom 1 had just sold a pair of my famous shoes, started forth. After we had walked a block, an aero-limousine skimming by. stopped at the curb and we were called by name. On going closer we recognized, in spite of his obesity, our old classmate Stephen Fleming, who, like the Smith Brothers of the 19th Century, had recently made a fortune in cough drops. We gladly accepted his invitation to fly and entering the luxurious compartment, found the Rev. Willard Holmes, just returned from the interior of Hindustan where he is a missionary. Stephen explained to us that the serious looking driver of his aero-limo was none other than the one-time speed-king, William Schwab, who long since had passed up the old time gas wagon. In a few seconds wc had arrived at the school. On alighting we found Professor Alfreda Davis, the President of Hopkins College, parking her super-ford. She was accompanied by Eleanor Stanchfield, who is principal of a school for deficient young gentlemen of 18 to 22. recently established on the former site of Kinkle’s. On entering the lunch room I heard a familiar voice and turned to see Esther Akervold, author of “Why Be Thin; Get in the Gym. After an exchange of greetings she said, “Of course you remember Ina Lee? Ina had changed very -lightly and I recognized her at once. Ina is a futurist artist. She recently painted a portrait of Judge Miller Sale which is said to resemble a purple toothpick. Could that be Cecelia Nelson coming toward us? Yes, the same! Cecelia now conducts a column in the “Journal’’ known as “Cecelia’s Advice to the Lovelorn. The Journal’s editor is Harold Christopher. We chatted for a few moments inquiring of various people. “Do you se the man in that group surrounded b Louise Backstrand, Ethel Anderson. Eleanor Dockstader and Evelyn Kirk? That is Constantine Santrizos. the famous Shakespearian actor. His favorite role is “Romeo.” The ladies are interested in Mr. Santrizos’ acting. His director this season is Carroll Smith who has succeeded David Belasco in the public’s favor,” said Cecelia. “Oh, yes, that reminds me—have you seen Dorothy Baldwin’s latest play? The man just entering is Sidney Crowell. Isn't he graceful? You know he is now the dancing partner of Pavlowa on her American farewell tour. _fi______IL r 60 i h s zsxrqfiZBXi iliRani At this point we were interrupted by the appearance of Vera Stone who wished me to sign a petition asking for the abolition of dance halls in Minnesota. George Beveridge was following Vera, protesting, as he is the conductor of the famous Syncopated Sextette, considered the finest interpreters of modern jazz in the Middle West. The members, 1 learned, are Lucille Spcakman. Bussell Paulson. Kenneth Aldrich. Marcus Sundheim, Marjorie Getchell, and Blanche Clark. I next met Marion Chapell and Aileen Drake. Marion writes snappy novels which enjoy tremendous sales at the ten cent stores, while Aileen is Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department and was directly associated with Mayor Dick Hale in the movement. Make Minneapolis Safe for the Bandits.” Tom Palmer and Otto Flaig were also interested in the movement as they are prominent jewelers on Nicollet Avenue and have made several contributions to the Bandit's “Society for Taking Life Easy.” Harriette Swanson was the next person to greet me. She is operating a large health resort hotel in Anoka. She sees so many members of the old class at her resort that I asked her to tell me of several people present whom 1 did not recognize. She indicated an exclusive group of fashionably gowned women who, she said, were Virginia Averill. F.dwina Cook, Clara Devine, Alice Johnson. V iolet Kimball and Vandelia Lindquist. They are known as some of the best dressed women of Minneapolis and take pride in saying they order their creations from Ofstie, the famous designer. “You know,” Harriette said, “many of our class have joined the motion picture companies. Blanche Burg and Leo Greene are famous comedians. Bernice 1-arson. Marjorie Nordquist, Christian Preus and Sam Okney have gone in for emotional plays. Gladys Anderson, Genevieve Cook and Chester Johnson are famous producers.” Allan and Violet Peterson are directing Charlie Chaplin. The next person whom I met was Clarence Stark. He is a circus owner, having recently taken over the consolidated Ringling Shows. He told me that the lure of the canvas top had been too strong for several of our classmates to resist and some of the names on the billboards are familiar to all of us. Lillian Anderson and Gladys Cann are heralded as tight rope artists. Arthur Harvey has charge of the animals, while John Koeser is a high salaried clown and Walter Bice plays the steam calliope. Sigfred Sommer and Leonard Wahlberg do a death-defying act on the high trapeze. . Robert Roehl and Arthur Johnson sell tickets, red lemonade and pop corn. Kate Ruhnke occupies two chairs as the fat lady in the side show. The one unfortunate incident of the evening occurred about this time, the lights going out and leaving us in total darkness. There were immediate calls for Donald Eckes, Donald Eckes!” He responded and assured us that everything would be all right in a few moments just as soon as one of his district repair men could fly from the central station. I then learned that he was General Manager of the Minneapolis Electric Company, while Frank Gould, now fat and slightly bald, is the financial agent of the same company. r 6i i Once more the room blazed forth in light amid loud applause. Merle Sewell, owner of a string of cigar stores from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, made a motion that we extend a vote of appreciation to Eckes for being able to get the lights working again within the same week. It was promptly seconded by a fine matronly-looking woman whom I learned was formerly Esther Lundgren. I was so interested in learning that she was the only one of the girls in the class to have married that 1 actually forgot to ask her name. Speaking of weddings, one naturally thinks of ministers. Perhaps you can imagine my surprise to learn that two of the class, men of whom we all thought of in connection with athletic affairs, had studied for the ministry, Clarence Hall and John Ballentine. At least their future is assured. Harry Ginsberg, I was told, is now the champion long distance swimmer of the world. It seems that he developed a natural long and powerful stroke motion whole on the football team that was l ettcr in the water than on the gridiron. “Has any one heard of Medora Hanson I asked. “Indeed, yes, hut she isn't here tonight. She was elected Sheriff of Hennepin County a year ago. It happens that she is out with a force of her deputies tonight conducting a few raids on near beer smugglers.” At this point a sign was given that dinner was a! out to l e served and wc hurried to take our seats. 1 found myself seated between Gerald Hubbard, the famous Ouija Board exponent, and Dow Starkey, who has explored the wilds of Minnesota as far north as Anoka. While Mr. Hubbard was telling of his interesting experiences in communicating with the other world, I recognized several classmates. There were Ruth Huff and Lucille Moffat who conduct a model truck farm. Across from us were Ruth MacMillan, Georgia Ryan and Ethel YVickstrom, who did so much to establish the “All Year School Plan ’ Glancing at the menu card I saw the caterers who had prepared the dinner were Camplxdl, Slyer, Sullwold Co. Between courses wc were entertained by the famous all-star quartet, Signe Swanson. Gertrude Watts. Bernice Nelson and Serene Jacobson. These ladies are all pupils of Mine. Helen Johnson and Edna Gracber. A neat little advertisement on the card informed us that the floral decorations were furnished by Lydia Johnson and Vernice Johnson. Ices were from Lillian Krueger's swell delicatessen on upper Nicollet. After the last dishes were cleared away. Mr. Fleming, as master of ceremonies, announced the guest of honor of the evening. Senator Gerald Pratt, famous as the author of Congressional Bill Number 1-11-44, forbidding the Japanese in California to eat rice with chop sticks. Senator Pratt proceeded to explain his attitude. During his talk many of those present snored audibly. Two hours later, at the end of the Senator’s speech, the Rev. Willard Holmes gave a thirty-minute talk on his experiences in Asia. At the most exciting moment, we were interrupted by the janitor's shouting, “Five minutes past eleven—I’ll give you just ten minutes to clear out! No one dared protest and after agreeing to meet again on December 9th, 1960, we adjourned. I 62 ] ri=j7gxpqnizgq i;i an FIRST CHOICE .

During the future years of our lives we shall learn to appreciate, day by day, the splendid opportunities we received at Central; the chances we were offered to develop our minds and bodies; and the training we were given to fit us to properly enter the citizenship of this country. At this time we are indebted to the faculty for the interest they have shown in us, and to taxpayers of Minneapolis for the school system which has made this training possible. As we are about to enter the alumni of this school, let us leave Central in person but not in spirit. Let us strive to put into practice the things we have learned here, and attempt to work for those things which are highest in life. May the true spirit of Central be always with you. and may you all lie successful in your life work. Sincerely, your President, Donald C. Rogers.

C=3 c siSDasi SDQDisasiiDSDI June Class History ONE cloudy morning in September, 1917. THE old Fourth Avenue BUS drove UP the street with a MULTITUDE of precocious INFANTS spouting FROM its various openings. At the DOORS OF Central, they met some more with the same green COMPLEXION, and as the MIDGET multitude ENTERED the portals, the SUN BURST forth in JOY at their arrival, and THE DAY WAS marked a GREAT DAY IN the annals of the school. Our FIRST YEAR was eventless as our youthful SPIRITS were BURDENED by OUR INTELLECT. AS Sophomores, our EGO developed AND although our growing KNOWLEDGE and the OVERBEARING JUNIORS kept us from social FUNCTIONS, we enjoyed THE SMALLPOX VACATION HUGELY. THE next September, the SUPPOSEDLY SUPERIOR December '20 class DEIGNED to organize with us. WE WERE led by GERALD PRATT as PRESIDENT HARRIET DEW as VICE-PRESIDENT. “DICK HALE” as keeper of the COFFERS, and ELEANOR MURPHY WROTE the DETAILS. TO DISCIPLINE the Library HORDES we CHOSE ELVEDA JACKSON and MARTIN NORTON. So for several months WE added LUSTER To the class of December until our APPARENT SUPERIORITY gained US, in the SPRING, separation. I 95 1 i ZZ fcaq HRglf-i H •= jZ5XlfiqfTZ5 ]j|! SOME Tech CLUB HIGH LIGHTS from our class, on the RANGE explored with Senior BOYS WHEN the BALMY days of JUNE arrived we ALL SIGHED with envy. LOOKING FORWARD to THE DAY one year hence. Fall CAME, and we were SENIORS AT LAST. SPEEDY elections on September 28, placed DON in the lead, and HARRIET helped HIM in her capable WAY. ELVEDA JACKSON kept the BOOKS. WARD FANNING, electing treasurer for the year, departed SORROWFULLY in MARCH AND we, PERFORCE, elected on to take his PLACE, CARL HARLOW. A HOP IN' NOVEMBER worked up Senior APPETITES for Thanksgiving TURKEY. After Christmas we stepped FORTH in the full GLORY of the JUNE CLASS. Elections again proved DON ROGERS POPULARITY, and that of HARRIET DEW'. FERN REEDER read the minutes IN her rich VOICE. THE SOCIAL EVENT of the year was, in April. THE SENIOR DANCE. WE CHOSE as our CLASS PLAY “THE LITTLE MINISTER,” and the year DREW' to a close—CLOTHES -and COMMENCEMENT TO THOSE who come AFTER: JOY and SUCCESS! JUNE CLASS, NINETEEN TWENTY-ONE. [ 96 ] June Class Prophecy (Including March Class) V|'•WAS during a total eclipse of the sun at midnight that I found myself seated, after a stroll across Lake Calhoun, on a tombstone in Lakewood Cemetery, overlooking the street car tracks. As I gazed around at the inspiring epitaphs, my Bump of Curiosity stepped on the elevator and rose in swelling ecstacy above the three mile limit, loping to my feet I cried: “Strip the years, 0 Time in thy flight. And show me 1910 just for tonight!” A flash of lightning—then a stern voice commanded “Look in the top of thy derby!” With a grasp of dim understanding, I hauled forth my 98 cent collapsible three foot extension telescope and trained it on the heavens. The Milky Way obscured the auroreai spectrum of my astronomical instrument at first, but suddenly, probably through the curdling effect of my hypnotic eye, it turned to cheese (the Milky Way, not the telescope). But what could that beak-like projection be that was boring its way into the cheese? Yc Gods! ’twas the nose of ex-Kaiser Billie, who was engaged in the light occupation of eating up (or down) Fate’s back door. Seeing my chance, I lassoed his facial protuberance with a line of thought and went up hand over hand until 1 had crossed the bridge of his nose. Then I let go and fell into a back alley of 1910. Picking my various parts from the dust, I looked about and observed a pompous looking gentleman on the doorstep of the “third floor back,” gesticulating wildly to demonstrate the merits of the famous novel, “Where There’s A Will There’s A Relative,” written by Carroll Will, the prominent mortgage forecloser. From a certain familiarity of expression to be noticed in the semaphore salesmanship methods employed by the agent, I realized that Harold DeGroot was trying to sell a book to Neil Buchanan, a struggling sign painter. Evidently he was struggling with his emotions, for, with an impatient gesture, he threw the disturber into the yard. Hearing a loud guffaw I glanced up and beheld a venerable old man in the act of sawing a violoncello in two to register glee at the sight of a fellow being descending on his physical propensities. Though I knew him at sight, a sign in his window reassured me: Milton Skobba. Mender of Mouth Organs and Musical Instruments At the same moment, a pair of legs emerged from the chimney, followed by Carl Carlson, the noted chimney sweep, who worked his way to the top bv crawling down the inside. Being under the control of Fate’s ouija board, my comings and goings were not subject to speed regulations. I was now seated on a bench in Kerkendale Park, named, according to the inscription on a statuette (fern.) in honor of the lecturer who burned up the Richfield Circuit with her fiery denunciations of the “unprincipled custom of requiring wives to love their husbands.” At the base of the memorial I made out the stamp of the Kimball Brook Ornamental Construction Company while a sign on the back announced: f 97 I h s mnzBCTSTiirani Wiring installed in this building by C. Smith on the job. Along the pathway l chind me pattering footsteps sounded, then silence. “0 scampering squirrels so high on thy perch, pray why dost thou llutier from twig unto twig?” came in accents soft and hushed, whispering to the world that Marvin Craguu had fallen into the unfortunate class of unshaved mortals who write Odes to “Artistic Men’s Furnishings—Special Today ’ for their cheese and crackers. Across the road friend Fate is tying strings to other graduates of June 21. While Nurse Eleanor Murphy is engaged in conversation with No. 13 on the force, Charles llornburg, the 22nd story expert, appears from behind a tree and snatches the chee-ild! He jumps on his Kiddie-Kar and—but now enters the law. Disguishcd as the Fourth Dimension, George Sidney Johnson, the great defective, approaches the front from the rear, and surprises his man by saying, “Tag, now you arc it. While struggling for possession of the chee-ild, llornburg falls into a squirrel hole, whereupon a voice shouts, “Fine, we'll make it a slapstick reel and call it ‘Nuts in the Hark’. ’ Movie Director Llewellyn Pfankuchen is sarcastically bawling out his acting force, accompanied by the organ grinding of his camera man, Horace Scott, who is opening a package of his favorite food, “food for thought Non-Shrinkable and Non-Skid chewing gum (guaranteed mileage of 2.000 laps). Around the bend in the road I saw a Ford and an automobile affectionately bump noses while going at full speed. When the bolts had stopped flying, a traffic policeman inquired into the affair and jotted down as occupants of the automobile the names of Abigail Berge, famous modiste of Anoka, Margaret McDonald, noted over night through her realistic portrayal of “Hilarious Hester at the Robbins-dale Opera House and Feed Store, and Ruth McCormack, her accompanist on the piano, flute and kettle drum. From this longitudinal dimensions, 1 recognized the Terror of Speeders Alley as Foster Edwards, although his facial shrubbery confused the eye. After the engine and a few other miscellaneous bits of hardware had been brushed from his clothes, the late Ford driver was seen to be Rodli Erling, holder of the absent-mindedness record among college professors by virtue of his stunt of bringing home to the w ife a bunch of celery as a flower bouquet. Turning aside from this scene, I came suddenly upon Jimmy Gardner's “Garden of Classified Freaks (see ad in papers). At the entrance, Sam Tanner, combination Chancellor of the Pasteboards and “ballyhoo man, was using rah! rah! rah! salesmanship to earn his daily limousine. To the right of the entrance stood a palatial cafe built from the stage scenery which once clothed Central’s stage with the spirit of the forest, somewhat upset by the staircase in the background. In no uncertain fashion a sign proclaimed: CARGILL’S CAFE CATERING A LA CARLOAD “Sally's was in full control of all departments as I entered, acting as chef, official bouncer, tip collector, and director of the “Blooey Blue Boys of Bluetown,” by semaphore, although Ted Clyiner does the bouncing while taking a vacation from the regular job as the “riot squad of the police department, over which Perry Brouard holds the power of life pensions and death notices. On the catering I 98 1 ri g£ sxrqng5xr i|ipg -taff Dedrikka Stub and Fredrikka Fjildes have catered to the crowned heads of Ireland and Washington Avenue North, although this is almost overshadowed by the artistic washing of Roger Fjelstad who once washed the ears of Trotsky and Lenine. As I was akout to pass out a party of intellectual minds came in for corn ! eef and cabbage. In the assemblage 1 picked out such illustrations as lister Orfield. an expert in the defence of the theory that the hole constitutes the integral part of a doughnut. Grace Floerkcy, who astounded the world with her declaration that a sieve can hold water, Robert Whitney, recently decorated by the Associated (.umber Dealers for his invaluable services in securing a monopoly of chessboards, and Borghild Sundheim, a physical research worker, whose illustrated lecture on “The Infiniteness of the Infinite will go down through the ages as the most perfectly incomprehensible mass of words ever constructed by mere mortal. After watching George Helliwcll in the role of the trainer who subdues his ireak pachyderms, felix Africanes, dinosaurs, and Stradivariuses by mere How of language in seven tongues and fifty gestures, I fled for refuge to the outer world. My aching anchor dropped the thriving thoroughfare of W. 54th St., and now the center of the financial district showing the unselfish efforts of Carl Harlow, the city’s leading real estate and other estates dealer who only profited to the extent of a few stray millions while pushing this noble project, ably assisted by Eleanor Robinson, who recently sold the exclusive mining rights in Diamond I-ake and a dredge along with them to the McLaughlin Jewelry Co., specializing in paste jewelry. Looming before my eyes, the Slovcpoker building rises in all the stupendous height of 63,360 inches linear measure. So deep is the elevator shaft that Hugo Erickson, one of the elevator operators, grew and kept a full beard while making one trip and Mickey Gallagher, after a hard two hours’ work at the studio on the top floor, lost thirteen pounds weight while coming down to the first floor. Occupying first and basement stories, the I). Rogers Political Securities Corp. has two streams of customers to handle. Mere kings, waiting for their countries to recall them to the royal boarding house, but needing temporary spending money honest village treasurers who buy too much watered stock with the people’s funds are accommodated in the main waiting room, if they get that far. Thus it happened that I witnessed the ejection of Tcdeorik Fletcherius (Ted in disguise), Omnipotate of Mezzo, Sopranio, via the coal chute just a minute after Homer Tatham, representing the township of St. Paul in its shortage of funds to buy grass seed, departed by the front door with a wagon load of 18 karat rings left the day before by ex-Empress Marion Deutsch of Nutravia. Great bargaining ability has been shown by Stephen Winslow, head of the Sixth Ave. No. Department, to such an extent that he has contracted to supply the sporting goods firm of H. Masters, and J. Williams with their entire 1911 supply of old mattresses for filling baseballs. In the elevator three ladies of leisure (during lunch hour) whom 1 recognized as Marion Cross, Eleanor Lane, and Violet Norris, were engaged in conversation.

BARRIE’S well-known plnv, “The Little Minister,” written especially for t Maude Adams and played so successfully by her, was given by the June class of 1921 os its class production, June 3, in the school auditorium. Under the direction of Mrs. Whittaker, the play proved to he one of the most successful dramatic representations of Central. Mildred Sommers displayed an unusual amount of versatility in her character-ization of “Babbie, ' who dances across the narrow path of “Gavin, the Little Minister. Struggling against the persuasiveness of her alluring eyes, he preaches sermons against Woman. However, this is of no avail for he finds himself in love with her. Einar Anderson's portrayal of “Gavin fulfilled the expectations of everyone. “Lord Rintoul,” Babbie’s fiance was well played by Walter Thorstenson. The quaint Scotch characters were very entertaining and brought out the humor of Scotch life. Despite many perplexities which followed. Babbie and Gavin are united in a secret marriage. The entire cast was at its best throughout the performance. Besides the leads the cast included: Thomas Whammond, Llewellyn Pfankuchen; Snecky Hobart. Ralph Johnson; Andrew, Horace Scott; William Wilson, Raymond Norman; Cruik-shanks, Kenneth Swanson; Rob Daw, Raymond Kerrick; Micah Daw, LeRoy Elm-l erg; Thwaites, Ted Waldor; Captain Halliwell, Kimball Brook: Sargeanl Davidson, Loe!

I I 106 ] Robin Hood SURPASSING any other opera ever put on at Central in 9heer magnificence and splendor of setting and production, was “Robin Hood. given in the school auditorium on the evening of February 21 and 25. To the chorus must go first honors for the merit of the performances. It covered itself with glory on both evenings, singing with a freshness that was favorably commented upon by critics. The principals were all excellent: Kirk Holmes as Robin Hood made a fine and stalwart outlaw, and acted as though he were destined to the stage; Ted Fletcher, as Little John, did a fine bit of singing in his part. His solo will be long remembered; Will Scarlet, otherwise Kenneth Ferguson, made a fine armorer. His “Anvil Song was a hit: Llewellyn Pfankuchen took the part of the villain, the Sheriff of Nottingham. His business was to get laughs, in which he made his usual success; Philip Atlas was Guv of Gisborne. His childish lithp brought tears of laughter to many an eye; ihe part of Friar Tuck, capacity 2000 pounds, was taken by Niel Mannerud: Cecilia Nelson made her last appearance in Central’s operas as Maid Marian. Her charming portrayal of the part left absolutely nothing to be desired: Ardis Carr, a newcomer, played Annabel to perfection. Her voice was especially suited to the part; Dame Durden, the villaincss, was fittingly enacted by Synette Swenson. She did admirable work in driving the Sheriff to drink: Maurice Willard took the difficult part of the outlaw, Allan-a-Dale. Although she had more solo work than any of the cast, she was recalled to the stage again and again for encores. There was no “over-acting” and critics said that everyone fitted into the picture perfectly. To the executive staff, the officers, the club itself, but especially to Mr. Morse, is the credit due for this magnificent production. I I 107 | : Seventeen “O EVEN TEEN,” the well known play of Booth Tarkington, was given by the Boys’ and Girls Clubs, March 11. The story deals with the trials of a lovesick youth of seventeen. This part, Willie Baxter, was well taken by Marvin Cragun. The manner in which he ejaculated. “Ye Gods!” whenever his well meaning but ignorant parents misunderstood him, was very realistic. Lola Pratt, the object of Willie’s affections was pleasingly portrayed by Charlotte Crockett who made a very charming “baby-talk lady. The characters of Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, the long suffering parents of Willie, were well represented by Malcolm Anderson and Marion Deulsch. Margaret Gallagher played the part of Jane, Willie’s little sister, to perfection. Surely a more mischievous but thoroughly adorable little sister could not be found. Between her and Milton Skobba as Genesis, the old negro servant, Willie, indeed, led a very wretched existence. Wallace Thcxton was particularly good as the irate Mr. Parcher; while Jean Cotton charmingly played the part of Mae Parcher, his daughter. Roger Fjelstad, Ralph Johnson, Richard Smith, and Charles Mornburg appeared respectively as Johnnie W'atson, Joe Bullitt, George Cooper, and Wallace Banks. Their parts, though minor, were all taken with ease. They amused the audience greatly by their novel serenade. Ethel Boke, “the wall flower, was exceedingly humorous in the way in which she appropriated the despondent and very reluctant Willie. This part was taken by Eleanor Murphy. Geraldine Hendrickson and Margaret Stone played the parts of Helen Holmes and Frances Gay, the other girls at the party given for the “baby-talk lady.” Through the efforts of Mrs. Whittaker “Seventeen” takes its place among the dramatic successes of Central. I 108 1 [ 601 ] Organizations WITHOUT wall paper, a house would he a dreary habitation. Without school activities, Central High would he a monotonous workshop. New fields of research and social life are opened as organizations spring up, horn with a purpose. The clubs of the school are many, created with different purposes and ideals, but the principle underlying all has been to create channels in which students’ surplus energy and knowledge might be expended. Il e!Zi35I2Scl'j£™ =BigZ 5ZlS!=BSZSgD [ no i THE Astronomy Club is one of the newest, and liveliest organizations in Central High School. The liveliness is due to the fact that the club is composed of Sophomores and Freshmen. Jhe star gazers' organized this club for the purpose of learning more about the stars, planets, constellations, comets, meteors, asteroids, satellites, and other heavenly bodies, providing there arc any others. Teachers in the Science Department as well as the members contribute toward the programs which are given every other Wednesday. At the first meeting officers were elected as follows: Nannette Cargill, president; Alice Erck. vice president: Grace Jordon, secretary: Walter Solberg, treasurer. All the meetings have not been given entirely to the study of the celestial bodies. Several of the gatherings, in fact, have l een of a social nature in order that the members might become letter acquainted before wrapping their thoughts in ethereal lieauties. These astronomers of the future arc looking forward to the time when they will l e able to gaze thru telescopes, and reveal the hidden mysteries of the unknown. Probably next term the club will hold evening meetings, so that the members will U able to study the constellations, and locate the stars of which they have heard so much. The club has hitched its wagon to a star and has high hopes for a bright and gleaming future. Botany Club ONE of the most successful of the newer clubs at Central is the Botany Club, organized in the spring of 1920. and boasting a regular attendance of about thirty members. The club strives to interest others besides botany class members in the subject and provide a means of organized research for its memliers. It also has a social element which encourages a closer acquaintance among the botanists. One of the most interesting meetings of the Botany Club was featured bv a talk on “The History of Forests by Professor Cheyney. He traced from the earliest times the manner and means of caring for forests. Lantern slides on the programs of other meetings added to the interest of the club. Various entertaining recitals and talks made every meeting a success. Expeditions to the outskirts of Minneapolis were often made to study nature at close hand. Weiner roasts in Glen wood and on the Minnesota River bank made these trips more attractive. To belter the success and improvement of the club the officers are aided in this aim by the faculty advisers. Miss J. Hall and Miss Groth. The officers for the mid-winter quarter were: Elizabeth Sweelser. president: Grace Fuller, vice-president: Lew Cornell, secretary: and Hulda Block, treasurer. I ill I [ 311 J ! CClub MEETING with the avowed purpose of forming a permanent organization which would band together all the present and past C” men of Central High School and at the same time carry into fulfillment the plans of the alumni for an athletic stadium, the “C men of the school met last month at the Y. M. C. A. and organized a “C” club. Every man who has won a letter under the colors of the Red and Blue is boosting with mighty efforts the athletic field project. The feeling prevalent throughout the alumni may be summed up in the words of Principal R. T. Hargreaves: “We are going to have this field if it takes a thousand years. But the alumni and the school have risen in righteous indignation over the absolute lack of any home grounds on which to play visiting teams and are determined to place the S50.(KK) project beyond the realm of conjecture. The “C Club is one of the co-ordinating forces working to push the plan through—now! ■ i I 113 1 THE CADET CLUB c3HI The Cadet Club Ten shun!! Here come the Cadets!! FORMED to promote good fellowship and understanding and to sti nutate interest in social activities and also a mutual relationship between the officers and men. The Club has bright prospects for the future and with its splendid material for all kinds of social activities, should make its dances, parties and any kind of entertainment most attractive and snappy. The club possesses a quartet composed of Philip Atlas, Emerson Woodward. Norman Anderson, and Kimball Brook, which can be awarded exceptional merit. It claims also a good live band of about fifteen pieces. Now a great effort is l eing made to organize a dunce orchestra to play for the cadet dances. Bi-weekly meetings are held on Tuesdays in room 304, when an interesting program is given after the business of the club has been taken up. The first officers of this newly organized club are: Perry Brouard, President; Harry Pulver, Vice President; Charles Hocking. Secretary; Howard Cooper, Treasurer. A constitution has been drawn up which gives the noncors and the privates full charge of the club and also provides that no commissioned officer may hold an office. Mr. Rohohm, by his great interest, has proved himself an enthusiastic adviser to the club and has given many short valuable talks at the meetings. [ 115 ] I 116 ] : The Chess Club FIRST organized in November, 1920, under the imposing name of “The Royal Order of Imperial Yellow Mandarins with a membership of eight, the Chess Club held a campaign for members and. with an attendance of twenty, adopted the more explicit name at the first meeting in March. Its purpose, which is to promote interest in the royal game of chess, has succeeded better than the founders had expected. The club meets every Monday in the library or in 307B. A tournament was conducted during March and April, which brought out much of the best talent in the club and aroused the interest of all members. The club also achieved the purchase of several new sets of chess men. Altho a new club, it has been very active during its short career and hopes for a longer period of activities in the future. The officers for the last quarter were: Robert Whitney, president; Llewellyn Pfankuchcn, vice president; and Marvin Cragun, secretary-treasurer. I I 117 I The French Club “Le Foyer” ONE of the clubs which has most successfully held the interest of freshmen and seniors alike is “Le Foyer.” This club, which is devoted to the study and practice of French customs, the singing of French songs, and the promotion of a spirit of good fellowship through genial informality and co-operation, was organized in 1919. Henry Wilcox led the club as president for the fall quarter. The other officers for the term were: Marion Ball, vice-president; Janet Van Stone, secretary; and Ruth Marshall, treasurer. Faithfully and unselfishly the advisers worked with the officers in the endeavor to bring the club before the students. Mrs. Drechsler, Miss Reque, and Miss Helliwell deserve credit for their wise guidance. With the beginning of the December quarter, the new officers elected were: Marie Lynch, president; Catherine Townes, vice-president: Dorothy Crossman, secretary; and George Helliwell, treasurer. Informal meetings were made attractive by delightful talk, and vocal and instrumental music, and the customary dish of ice-cream proved to lie the specialty of the program committee. Appropriate pins depicting a fireplace or “foyer,” and with the letters C. H. S. engraved on them, have been purchased by the members during the year. The greatest success of “Le Foyer this year was the play “Parlez-vous Fran-cais,” which was written by Elizabeth Hartzell. Members of the French Club enacted the comedy. A very pleasant feature of the meetings this year has been the continued attendance end lively interest in the department. If this interest is sustained throughout the coming year, “Le Foyer will have reason to feel pride in its membership. I 119 1 mu fts liHEHiieHrg. tH hi jzsxrqnzgj i G. A. A TUF. Girls Athletic Association.to whose membership all girls are eligible, has had a very successful year. The association was organized for the purpose of encouraging and sustaining all forms of athletics, and has fulfilled its pur-p � e to every degree. Each year class tournaments are conducted in volley ball, track, indoor baseball, and tennis. Skating, hiking and swimming prove to be of a great interest to the girls as each sport has luul many entries. ctive participation in some one sport entitles a girl to a class numeral or chevron, amounting to 100 points. After obtaining a total of 600 points she is presented with a red and blue “C. A new goal has been added this year. A silver loving cup is given for a total of 1000 points. Helen Burch is the only girl in the city who has received such a cup. Along with athletics, the association has a social purpose. In the fall a frolic was given in honor of the Freshmen, and all who attended enjoyed themselves fully. A group of parties were given this spring for the incoming Freshmen. The association is striving to meet every girls’ specialty. As there is such a large field of athletics to select from it should not be difficult for the girl to select her most interesting activity. Officers of the association arc: Alice Albrecht, President. Margaret Powers, Vice President. Gladys Ohme. Secretary. Miss Nutter, Treasurer. Miss Bell and Mrs. Kelly. Advisers. WErBSiaBcra Girls’ Club THE Girls' Club of Central High is an organization composed of the Senior and Junior girls of the school. The club in its work strives to develop the highest standard of womanhood, and to encourage education with a view toward social betterment and service. It was organized to encourage higher ideals and to promote a spirit of co-operation among the girls. In addition to usual activities, the club has secured many fine speakers for the weekly meetings. Two freshman parties were given to entertain the freshman girls. A very successful tea was given for the I'pper-Classmen Club of West High, and there was also a tea for the mothers of the girls. The Social Service department has carried on its work by sending girls to the settlement houses to conduct classes. The club contributed money to various funds and the girls collected magazines for the wounded soldiers and assisted in the Salvation Army and Chinese Relief Tag Day drives. Officers for the fall quarter were Alfreda Davis, President; Margaret McDonald. Vice-President; Elizabeth Craddiek, Treasurer; and Harriet Dew. Secretary. The girls chosen in December to head the club for the remainder of the year were Harriet Dew, President; Elveda Jackson. Vice-President; Lulu Merchant, Treasurer; and Eleanor Murphy, Secretary. The Girls’ Club stands for what is best in Central and has accomplished many things of which every girl has reason to be proud. May each member receive lasting benefit from her association with the club and take for her motto in life the motto of the Girls’ Club, “Growth, Education, Service.” I 123 1 h hi sjzsxrgfTzs?ggti;iani I 124 J C. H. S. GLEE CLUB C. H. S. Glee Club THE best season in its long career has just been finished by the Glee Club. This year the organization has gone steadily forward, giving programs of real artistic merit and culminating in the splendid opera ‘ Robin Hood. The Glee Club's season has been an amazing success, from both artistic and financial standpoints. It has attained an enviable reputation all over the United States for its production in the operatic line. Just before the summer vacation it was decided that “Robin Hood was the best opera available for production. However, the club did not limit its work to practicing for the opera. It gave programs at several churches which were greatly appreciated. Numbers were given at the Baccalaureate Service of the December Class, and at various assemblies. Besides these, the club participated in Mr. Patton’s “Isaiah. and prepared to take part in the “Children's Crusade. “Robin Hood was soon ready to stage, and rehearsals started with a vim. Lines were learned, music was perfected, everything was pointed toward “Robin Hood, and on February 21 and 25 the opera was performed in a blaze of glory, with new scenery, fine costumes, and splendid singing and acting. It was recognized l� v musicians to lx the most magnificent achievement in opera to be attained by a high school. It was a fitting climax to a highly successful season, and the Glee Club is justly proud of its work. To the club itself, to the executive staff, to the officers, but most of all to Sydney H. Morse is the credit of the Glee Club's successes due. Without him. nothing was possible; with him, everything. IBM The Central Hi-Y Club THE Central Hi-Y Club enjoyed a very successful year during 1920-21. Cooperation of all the members pushed the good work along continuously, and the club accomplished many things of direct importance to the school. Together with the other Hi-Y clubs of the city. Central gave a football banquet at the close of the 1920 football season, at the Central Y. M. C. A. Fielding H. Yost, coach of the U. of Michigan’s eleven, spoke, and Mayor J. E. Meyers presented the championship trophy and the sportsmanship flag to the West High School team. The Red and Blue book, published in January, was a great success. Over 1500 copies were sold. The book was hailed as the best “handbook” ever sold by the Hi-Y Club at Central. In order to give the junior and senior the opportunity of interviewing prominent business men of the city, the Campaign of Friendship was conducted during the spring season quarter. Over 100 fellows secured appointments and interviewed the leaders of various lines of business. Together with the Girls’ Club, Booth Tarkington's comedy “Seventeen” was presented in the school auditorium March 11. The proceeds derived from the play were used in the charitable work of the organizations. The retiring officers wish to express their thanks for the unceasing interest which the members took in the club during the past year, and wish the new officers unlimited and far-reaching success for the coming year. [ 127 1 siivii) mi.i.vi am. THE pious Roman of Vergil’s day lamented that the gods no longer walked and talked with men as in the glorious Golden Age. But, so strong has been the classical spirit in the Latin Club this year that it might be believed the gods had been enticed from lofty Olympus and their influence had been reflected in the programs. The meetings this year have been distinguished from those of the past by greater sociability. Even the more serious literary programs were followed by short social affairs and refreshments were enjoyed. It has been the aim of the club, as the oldest and largest language organization at Central, to help provide the right kind of social spirit in the school, to encourage acquaintanceship among the members of the department and to bring teacher and pupil together in an atmosphere different from that of the classroom. I ast fall, under the presidency of Aileen Drake, a humorous play, “The Trial of the Gods,’’ was written by Vienna Blake and presented before the club. The themes were modern, but the treatment was suggestive of Roman times. In the winter Professor Cram of the Latin Department of the University of Minnesota spoke on Latin Literature and made his talk very interesting by comparing old customs with the present. In February a Valentine party was given. Following this a membership campaign brought the total up to sixty active members. This, of course, necessitated an initiation, and for the first time in the history of the club the new members were forced to “ride the goat ’ In April it has been planned to present a Latin play. The officers elected for the last half of the school year are: Ruth Marshall, president: Eleanor Murphy, vice-president; Vienna Blake, secretary; Horace Scott, treasurer. Mr. White has hoen the adviser and the club has appreciated the time and interest which he has devoted to the meetings. 1 129 1 m THE “BUG ROOM llll The Radio Club PROBABLY one of the most interesting rooms in our school to some people during the past quarter lias been our wireless station where the Radio Club has resumed active work. The club has had many visitors, and is certainly proud of its new equipment. The Radio Club was started in February, 1916, by a group of enthusiastic amateurs. They were known as bugs in those days. The club was established with the idea of making and maintaining a first-class station in the school and of getting amateurs in social contact. The war brought the dismantling of our station and a cessation of club activities. Several original members served during the war with the radio branch of tin-navy. The club was reorganized after the lifting of the government ban on radio, with few assets other than a large membership. Little was done on this station, and perhaps the best example of the club's work during this period was the gigantic Tesla Coil which produced sparks over two feet long and played an important part in the Pot-Pourri of 1919. This year has undoubtedly been one of the most successful in the whole history of the Radio Club. New equipment has been procured, old equipment repaired, and the station virtually rebuilt. The one operating essential lacking, a reliable receiving set. was secured for the club by Mr. Hargreaves, and the dream of every good club member has at last been realized—the station in useful operation. The new receiving set will be a great help in realizing the club's aim for next year—the establishment of a relay station for the handling of amateur messages. Club members take an active part in the work, and this organization is doing much to advance the science of radio-telegraphy. : [ 131 1 The Scandinavian Club LAST fall the students of the Scandinavian classes organized one of the most enthusiastic of all language clubs. It was created for the purpose of stimulating an interest in the literature of the Scandinavian countries, and it has fully lived up to its purpose. The programs given by this club have all been especially fine. Great emphasis has been laid upon the cultural phase of each program. Influential men and women have been invited to address the organization. Professor C. Arthur Carlson, formerly a teacher of Swedish in South High, spoke at one of the meetings. Mr. N. N. Running, the editor of the North Star magazine, and Mrs. Storlic of Minneapolis, who has traveled extensively in Europe, brought to the members very interesting messages. The Scandinavian Club has also held several rather unique social gatherings. During the winter the members went on two skating trips. On one of these the club was entertained at the home of Ethel Wadman; on the other all the members went over to Rev. Shurson’s, whose daughter is a member of the club. Although the club is quite young it is one of the largest organizations in Central High. It has a real future ahead of it, and with Mr. Erdahl as faculty-adviser it will always bring honor and esteem to its Alma Mater. The club officers for the last quarter were: Lester Orfield, president; Alvin Swanson, vice-president; Dedrikka Stub, secretary; and Kenneth Swenson, treasurer. r 1331 ri jZ5XTEJ1IZ5KI 1iliam The Spanish Club THE Spanish Club of Central High School. Hispania, was organized on the twenty-eighth of January, nineteen-nineteen, for the purpose of studying all things Spanish, whether they are related to Spain or the other Spanish speaking countries. The club holds its meeting on alternate Wednesdays. The programs have been arranged to carry out the purpose of the club. Efforts have been made in planning the programs to have as great variety as possible. Playlets have been put on: Spanish songs have been sung, both by our own and outside talent; riddles, jokes, bits of news and verse have been presented in Spanish. Toward the close of each meeting several minutes are set aside to converse in Spanish. Besides giving greater ease in speaking the language it has made the club members better acquainted. On account of the loss of the beloved adviser and teacher. Miss Edith Broom-hall. the club has found it rather difficult to progress, but with the memory of her unceasing efforts to make the club what it is, we have been striving to live up to her ideals. The officers for the two terms have been as follows: First term—Clarence Stark, President; Helen Ewald, Vice President; Lcnore Berslin, Secretary; Daniel Mich. Treasurer. Second term—Antoinette Lohren, President; Arnold Aslakson, Vice President; Calista Davies, Secretary; Everett Jones, Treasurer. i [ 135 I The Wranglers EARLY this spring a literary and debating club was formed by an interested group of boys and with the support and approval of Mr. Hargreaves and other faculty members, adopted a constitution and the name “The Wranglers.” The club is still young and tender, but with a good beginning and plenty of life in the club, there is every reason for expecting a successful future. The club is established for the purpose of creating, promoting, and preserving the literary activities of Central High School. In years past Central has been noted for its interest in literary pursuits,—in debate and composition. These abilities, however, have been gradually losing their place. Realizing that such is the case and aware of the value of literary work, a mutually interested group of boys have organized this society. At an early meeting the club adopted a strong constitution, excluding the possibility of domination of the club by a minority and endowing the vice-president with an active duty as chairman of the program committee. The following officers were elected at the second meeting: George Helliwell, president; I .ester Orficld, vice-president; Charles Brown, secretary; and Everett Jones, treasurer. Mr. Hutson was chosen as the faculty adviser of the club. In order to become a member, a candidate is requested to present his name at a regular meeting of the club. At the next meeting the aspirant is voted upon and given the privilege of delivering a three-minute speech to insure his genuine interest. Debates and other interesting activities are planned for the future. All those who are interested in literary work of any kind and especially those who are interested in boosting “The Wranglers” to a front-line rank among Central’s organizations, are urged to place their names on the roll next September. 1 137 1 JUST FOR FUN—that’s all.

Nature had turned them out in the same Mould. In Height, in Weight, In Thickness, they were a Perfect Equation. Their heads from the number of Hairs on top of them to the Cray Matter inside of them, were Identical. When one drew a “A on his Card, the other followed Suit. When one was handed a Flunk Slip on Monday .Morning, the other also stepped up for a Slip in the Same Subject. And the Twins went Nature one better by always wearing the same kind of Clothes, by getting a Hair Cut at the same time, by pressing their Pants at the same time, etc. When one spilled some Food on his Coat at Dinner, which resulted in a Spot, the other Daubed on a Spot in the Same Place to balance Things up. And so it was that the Two Boys entered Central High one Day. having transferred from a School in some Eastern City where they had formerly Lived. Not as Two Boys they came, but as One Boy twice. Both had the Same Line of Talk. Both drew the Same Allow-ance. Without waiting to be Introduced to the other Twin, Mr. Rasberry and Mr. Awfuline and Mr. Bunk dragged off our Friend Nobody Smith “to show him the Building. They Took him right Out Back to the Ash Heap and Heaved him on a Big Truck with the rest of the Refuse and gave the Driver a Cigar to take Nobody Smith to the Dump. To another Croup of Students in the Hall Miss Probett Introduced Nobody’s Twin Brother: “Students. 1 want you to meet this New Lad! This is Somebody Smith (for that was his name). Mr. Smith, this is Mr. Chris Koe. Miss Djerkiss. Miss Van Pire, Mr. Ohlsonne, and Mr. Jjoahnssyn.” “I’m glad to know you I’m Sure!” they all Piped Up. “I-et us show you around the Building. And the Girls and the Boys flocked around Somebody Smith. Soon the Crack Squad of the Cadet Corps was there to accompany him on his Tour. The Band took a Leading Place in the procession. The President of the Senior Class pointed out Things of Interest; the President of the Girls’ Club held his Arm; the President of the Ili-Y Club carried his books; the Editor-in-Chief of the News Wrote down Everything he said; the Managing Editor of the Centralian snapped his Picture. In the Honor of our Friend. Somebody Smith, the Principal called an Assembly, at the close of which School was Dismissed and a Big Dance given in the Gym with Somebody the Most Popular Man on the Floor. One day Nobody heard about the Mighty Ovation given his Twin Brother Somebody. He thought the Thing over and after some Deliberation Struck upon an Explanation of this Most Unusual Mess. They had sized up him. Nobody, to be a Lemon, while his Twin Brother Somebody, they had sized up to be a Peach. Moral: There’s everything in a name—or a price tag. “STUDENTS, 1 WANT YOU TO MEET THESE TWO NEW LADS.’’ Wishing to become Acquainted, they together sought Miss Probett. To a Group of Notable Students in the Front Hall She took them, and Holding on to the First one to be Sure he was not the Second, she Introduced him: “Students, I want you to Meet these Two New Lads! This one is Nobody Smith. Mr. Smith, this is Mr. Bunk. Mr. Rasberry. Miss Awfuline. Miss Lolta Phluncli .” “Pleesed ta Meetcha.” they all Said. Hillard or Jenson: Some one broke into my locker. Horace Scott: Was there anything in it worth taking? Will: My overcoat, track suit, gym shoe , and books. Horace: Did they steal anything? Will: Pawed things over and left a dollar bill.

Puns Warranted Genuine A SLAUGHTER OF THE ENGLISH LAN-GLACE AND A FEW PROPER NOUNS A heavy Dew was rising on Lake Harriet early one morning when Sirs. Malcom And ’er son came strolling down the Lane which leads to the Brook that flows from the lake. Frank, Hale, and hearty was the boy. Edwards was his name, her Foster son. He tossed u Stone into the water, calm in the early morning and saw all around him the Green and White Burch trees and heard the roosters Crowe. With such surroundings he could think of Nutting but love and his Ford Carr. He realized that he was a Mann and he wished to get out into the world away from his Foster mother. IIF. TOOK HER BEHIND A FERN TO KEED’ER SOME VERSES But his mother sensed his desires and took him home und set the watch dog over him. By the way. this watch dog had a Stubb nose and was larger at night than he was in the morning—they let him out at night and took him in in the morning. However, when night came our young hero took one silver dollar he had tucked away in his bureau, and banking on this, he safely eluded his guardians and escaped from the house. At once he went to his flivver but found it to be out of Fcwcl. Feeling desperate lie set it on fire and after Fanning the flames, (they soon threatened to destroy the entire 13th Ward), he hurried off in the darkness of the night to seek his fortune and love. At length the youth, having traveled some distance in a great hurry, came to a very disagreeable street—it was a Cross street in fact. Turning down this street he soon came to a Hall where a big Ball was going on. It was a Mari an’ wild Ball and the price of admission was one dollar—all the money our hero had, hut he wanted to go to the ball so he punched a hole in his dollar and then paid the dollar and had the hole of it left. Pretty clever, eh? At the Ball he met two beautiful, wonderful girls. One was named Barbara, she was from Virginia, the other was named Carol, she was from the Badger state. Barbara, especially, he thought, was Sweet’ s’er name. After a while he took her behind a big Fern to Reed-'or some verses. Late in the night the party broke up. Our hero, getting a little uneasy for fear hi Foster mother would catch him. was anixous to be moving along and so graciously suggested to a friend named Steve, who had a boat on the Mississippi, that they take the girls for a little sail. “But the River’s rough tonight,’’ Steve objected. “Why, Steve, the Wind’slow tonight and you know the river is glorious! our friend argued, until Steve consented to go if the girls would. So they consulted the girls. “I’ll go if Carol Will. said Barbara. ‘’Well then.” announced the other, “1 guess. Barbara, Weir going! And so they started for the river. When they were nearly there Steve got cold feet and said that his boat would not float because on his last trip he had lost some kind of a necessary wooden plug. Young Edwards, though, fearing his Foster mother, was determined, and seeing a sign on a building across the street “One piece or a carload he cried, Here I’ll go over there and get that Peg for you. And so Steve’s excuse was squelched and they started on their trip. As the next morning was dawning (the reader should note that the story has now covered a laps of 24 hours) they landed at a little Berge named St. Paul. As the little party walked up the sandy shore it began to rain, just rained cats and dogs—beastly weather, doncher know! To escape the storm they went into the first building in sight—a dilapidated old structure quite characteristic of the place. It was a second hand store. Steve bought one for his watch which he had damaged during the night. Next door there was an auction sale going on. So seeking excitement, our little friends went in there. They were auctioning off, among other things, some antique union depots. Pointing to one, the auctioneer bellowed. Give me a start! Five cents! piped up our hero. The auctioneer raged, frothed at the mouth, and reached for his gun. only refraining from murdering our friend when he saw the sheriff approaching. Our hero was clever. I thought that would give him a start, lie said. Feeling brave, the youthful adventurer now approached the sheriff, who had a deep scar on his face. “1 suppose that scar on your head is very annoying, he supposed, “but then, no doubt, to a man in your position it is next to nothing.” I [ 144 1 Kijzlil here, good and gentle reader, consider the moral of this tale and behold what happens to our overconfident hero: “You're pinched!” snapped the officer, “for making puns on Sunday.

But the young, young youth was still bold: You’re Fuller prunes!” he yelled. You can Bet Law doesn’t bother me any!” But then, ah, but then lie Piersoll around him and who should he see coming but his Foster mother with the Central High cadet corps at her back.

I il wonders al all that we of Rising Sun nation across the Hon. Pond should think of your U. S. as queer place where all persons thinks. ’ Which Hon. Gentleman is looney now?” Why am 1 speaking such syllables as these? It is for reasons of which my duty to explain il certainly is. Countries of this Globe possess sports with which peoples attempt great pleasure in doing. In our land of tea drinkers great joy comes from game of Hari-Kari, though process thereafter leads to Hon. Funeral. Rut in land of Hon. Bush Leagues anyone has great chance to become Hon. Fan or Bug. Therefore, it was to 6ec most enjoyable baseball game between Hon. Institutions of Central and West, of the locality where Scandinavians make their situation, that my footsteps found themselves walking into the Hon. Grandstand of Nicollet Park, which i9 the contents of a lot somewhere south of Lake St. Hon. Disciples from their respective temples of learning and such other things as may accumulate are making much commotion to each other. In the shortly after moments the Hon. Game is told to commence by one gentleman whose title designates itself as umpire; however, I hear in great surprise from different locations of the scats that he is also a robber and a thief. One gentleman of great elongation now proceeds with his footsteps to position of playing, while those persons surrounded by me make great noise. Hurrah!” Hon. “Skinny is in the box! “How marcvlous. comes my thought, is long gentleman which plays game of baseball when seated in Hon. Box.” But such box is not produced, much to disappointment of myself. Evidently little childrens in neighborhood have totally collapsed all these boxes for Hon. Bonfire. Very interesting words exclaim themselves throughout the progress of this wonderful amusement. Requests are given extension to players that the presence of him is requested at Hon. Plate. This must certainly be famous “free lunch counter of American origination. Words of people at baseball game are crazy, so am 1 doing the same thing. I look for player Hying through air when Hon. Fans shouts. “Throw him out. Understanding of robbery comes to me when all persons shouts “He stole a Hon. base. But too much it is for me when one gentleman touches gar- ments of one other with ball and makes declaration. “He’s out a mile! when location of man is not above few inches from other gentleman. How is such things possible? Honorable persons, shouts I, “which are now rea ly for second infuncy, let me prepare nice Hari-Kari games!” Kind gentleman of blue clothes with club gives to me dreams by motion of instrument on Hon. Dome. Such is fate of Oriental when engaged in sport, whether deadly Hari-Kari or peaceful (?) baseball be indulged in. Where is difference? —Justin Norton. Here you are girls! Bigger and better than ever befoah! Here’s a chance to burst out, Oh. how cute! From the above picture, taken when Jimmy Williams was mascot of the New York Yankees, you may judge that Central’s dwarf athlete is used to being called “cute” and being admired by the ladies. Jimmie began his athletic career young and has been careering ever since. That he was destined to become a professional and hard guy. the slant of hit cap clearly indicates, and by the husk of his belt we would guess that he was, then as now. perfectly capable of surrounding nourishment. I 151 ] J. NOW ALL LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA AND KEEP YOUR CLEVER REMARKS TILL LATER.” A wicked looking three legged camera draped with a black coverlet of mourning stood patiently waiting on our campus just north of the building stood waiting to be sacrificed when the members of the numerous organizations of the school should skip class and come out and get “shot.” as though they could get shot any more than they already were. First came the Girls’ club. The Girls’ club meets in the housekeeping suite but you couldn’t have jammed that mob of femininity into the H. K. S. with a two ton pile driver. The camera objected to absorbing more than half of them at once so they lined up the Seniors for one picture and the Juniors for another. At length. Peg McDonald and a few of the others having had their fill of vamping the editor and the whiskered Duke, everything quieted down. and. with a sigh, the Duke squeezed the bulb and the merciless slaughter was over. Then came the Hi-Y. After a lot of fuss the boys all got seated with the dignitaries in the front row and they all began to look handsome. This proved too great a strain and several of the flimsy chairs gave way. Later on the Centrulian staff had its turn. When at last they had all become deathly quiet, preparing for the massacre. Don Rogers called out in distress. Stick in your feet. Amanda, we want the folks in the back row to show!” That was bad but the recoil of the camera checked any comebacks. One after another the Duke snapped the clubs. The remarks and actions of the pupil.' were hard blows to his artistic temperament and he pawed the ground and pulled his whiskers and often liid his face in shame under the black cloth on the camera but he was a good sport, and he gave his card to Peg and Eleanor and told the girls to come and call on him and the pictures he took were as good as his Windsor tie was black.

Hence we have decided lo fill this sheet with poetry —wait. Don’t go yet! Little or none of this poetry is of our own composition. Now that it is all over—our rows with the other editors over who and what should be scandalized in this department, and every column is at last filled, now that it is all over we feel much like the columnist in the Chicago Tribune who wrote: We have punned the puns We ought not to pun; We have run the rime We ought not to run. We have sworn each night (And repented daily) To hang up our slapstick And ukelclc. We’re contrary cusses, Who’ve ground this grist. Just because we’re sure It would never be missed. In all our orgies of so called humor work our greatest model has been the late Bert Lesion Taylor. The following poem which appeared in one of his columns in the Minneapolis Journal, so expresses our feelings in a certain matter that we would feel a sort of a guilty pang if we did not reprint it for your benefit. FIFTY-FIFTY When e’er 1 take my walks abroad. How many girls I see Whose form and features I applaud With well concealed glee! I'd speak to many a sonsie maid. Or willowy or obese. Were I not fearful, and afraid She'd yell for the police. And melancholy, hitter-sweet Marks me then as her own. Because I lack the nerve to greet The girls 1 might have known. Yet though with sadness I am fraught, (As I remarked before) There is one sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er. A LIVING DEATH Our janitors, we pity them. As all good people must. For every morn the poor old men Return again to DUST. For every shadow cloud of woe Hath argentine alloy; I see some girls I do not know. And feel a passing joy. —B. L. T. Ccnualian Day: We and the Centralian are out of press. Perhaps the wisest piece of poetry ever written is a little poem which appeared in the News about a year ago: The world of fools has such a store. That he who would not see an ass Must stay at home, and bolt his door. And break his looking glass. To the following people who made these Just for Fun pages possible, we wish to express our humble thanks: To the school boobs whose peculiarities gave us so much inspiration. To the willing handsome who posed for their pictures. To Harriet Dew for her blushes. To Mr. Kuenster. Mr. Carson, etc., (their names bring laughs). To everyone for withholding their bricks.

This tells the story of the loyal and unstinted support given us by the entire school body in the task of publishing the 1921 Centralian. Sincere gratitude in a boundless degree and a feeling of great indebtedness prompts us to voice our appreciation of the invaluable assistance rendered us. To Mr. White, for his guidance and self-sacrificing service as adviser of the staff; to Miss Witter and her art classes for the part they have played in the success of this publication through its appearance; and to Mr. Hargreaves, as a great helping hand in time of need, we, the Centralian Staff of 1921, extend our heartfelt thanks. Whatever measure of success has been attained in the publication of this book, we earnestly desire and hope may be reached by the Centralian of 1922 to an even greater degree, with the spirit of “All for one, and one for all” prevailing in every heart. ft •fc I 4
