 THE ORCHESTRA FIFTEEN years ago, in the days of old Central, an orchestra consisting of eight members was organized. This orchestra practiced once a week, and obtained money for their music by playing in the churches. At the present time the orchestra lias increased from eight members to about seventy. It now plays at all the commencement exercises, class plays, operas and assemblies. The music for the organization is purchased by the school Glee Club. Consisting of forty members, the junior orchestra is doing a great deal in competition with the senior orchestra. For its strength and excellence the orchestra gives all credit to Charles Pehoushek, their director. For fifteen years Mr. Pehoushek has labored unceasingly in his efforts to produce an orchestra worthy of Central High. THE BAND THREE years ago the Central High band was made a permanent organization. Before this time members of the orchestra had played for the basketball, football, and baseball games. As a result of its unusually rapid advancement, the band, at the present time, plays not only for all athletic events, but for assemblies as well. 'Hie band boasts of forty able members and is under the expert direction of Charles Pehoushek. Ilis efforts to make this organization the very best possible have, without doubt, been successful. Central High has the right to be proud of its band. |2U tiinwirtwimiffaainiffwwnMiiiJtwnaniiMfnir.iKinnRanuiinitwiHnKarmrHi

 UNDERCLASSMEN WHEN school started September 5, 1922. 426 quaking, doubtful youngsters entered the portals of Central to begin what seemed to them the most important year of their lives—their freshman year in high school. After a grueling experience in the auditorium they were finally distributed among their various advisers. These newcomers put on a bold front and proved to be a surprise to the mighty upperclassmen of Central. Only a few asked for the elevator, and they seemed to know instinctively that Room 404 was on the fourth floor. Classes at first were pretty “scarey.” Latin and Algebra were so peculiar; but the newness and strangeness soon wore off and they settled down to the incomparable life of high school freshmen, following in the footsteps of the already-successful sophomores and juniors. In December. 322 additional freshmen entered, and March. 133 more came. There is quite a mystery about the December class, tor it has gained one student ! No one knows when, where, or how, but it now numbers 323. The September class has lost only 22 students. On October 13, the Girls’ Club gave its freshman sisters a party. There were stunts presented in the auditorium followed by refreshments and dancing in the gymnasium. After this, many of them told us, they felt that they really belonged to Central. After Christmas the G. A. A. entertained the new freshmen at a similar party. The freshmen at first felt rather hurt because they were not asked to come to assemblies. An occasional gathering in room 400 partially reconciled them, but April 19 was a red letter day! It marked the installation of the double assembly period, and the union of under and upperclassmen. The underclassmen have displayed a great deal of talent. In turn the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have furnished programs for the seniors. Much credit is due them for the splendid school spirit that has been displayed during 1922-23. All in all the underclassmen have proved themselves to be endowed with pep, ability and loyalty and have made themselves an indispensable part of school life. If they continue in the future as they have in the past they will bring honor and success to Central. Here’s to the underclassmen, the classes of ’24, ’25 and ’26.
