Heretofore, a quarterly magazine had been the school publication, but this year as a departure, a semi-monthly paper was introduced From both a financial and literary standpoint, the newspaper has been a success. I hough this was the first and last paper published by Central students, we know that its successor will receive the hearty support and co-operation of the student body, for the Central spirit, of which we have long been proud, will live on at Phillips High.

That something else is called personality: the ability to make, and what is very much harder, to hold friends! The friendships which are able to stand the constant contacts and close association maintained in a great school will be more than likely to endure in after years. What more natural than that such affiliations should in fact lead to permanent connections and to mutual advantages in after life? With all due respect to superior attainments in scholarship, and the ability due to mental training, both in school and out of it. the largest measure of success frequently comes, not to the brilliant student, but to the man of average attainments; to the man possessing in the highest degree that faculty for drawing and holding friends. Such power does not commercialize popularity: it springs from fine, generous, upstanding character. Such a friendship is twice blessed I “FAREWELL AND HAIL!” Everything that has been done this last year has been done for the last time in Central. Those were the last Central football games, the last basketball games, the last baseball games. The Oratorical, the Joint Debate, the Senior Play, were the last to be held in Central. This is the last Mirror published by the Senior Class of Central High School. Indeed, this is the last year of Central High School itself. How odd it will seem to say that we go to Phillips High School. But when we stop to think of it. we realize that Phillips will have the same student body, the same faculty, the same grand old spirit, but will have in addition a beautiful new building, bearing the name of a man who made Central itself possible. And so we will change schools, carrying with us the memories of Central and carrying also the hope and ambition of making Phillips High School the greatest in the country, greater, much greater even, than old Central. lllllllllilllliltItiltIP :::::::::::::: {'age Thirteen (Central ifitglj Srhnnl (Class 1923 iMotto: “tit Jrosim.''

Page Porty-hou PLUS ULTRA Fellow Class Members: Four years ago when wc entered upon our High School careers, we looked forward to graduation as the final goal. Today we have achieved that goal; but instead of being satisfied, as we look eagerly into the future, we see other mileposts, as Carlyle would say, “intercalated between our desires and our achievements. There is more beyond—but we arc not discouraged. With pardonable pride we realize that at High School we have mastered some knowledge and collected some data. Wc believe that the age is ours in that we must lead; and we have faith that we are stout hearted enough for pioneers, so in the years before us. boldly but reverently we shall dare to offer our opinions. even if they differ from established precedents. While we profess the courage to live in our generation, yea. even ahead of our generation, on this our graduation day, “The elements are strangely mixed in us. While we appreciate the responsibilities that rest upon us, ours is a humble pride. We are far from having the self-satisfaction which the cartoonist pictures; we do not think ourselves fit to relieve old Atlas of his burden. History teaches us the dangers of too great self-satisfaction. Such was Spain's attitude when her civilization surpassed that of any people. Time was when her cities were the most beautiful; her scholars the most learned; her wealth the most inexhaustible; and the king, proud of his country's prosperity, adopted this motto. “Ne Plus Ultra—No more beyond. These words were stamped upon all Spanish coins and kept before the people in so many conspicuous ways that Spain came to believe that she typified “ultimate glory. Spain’s part in world affairs today is insignificantly small, but the land she found beyond her borders is now a country strong and bold enough to dictate policies to all nations. Wc find that history has a meaning for us. Ne Plus Ultra was the unmaking of Spain; it can be the unmaking of individuals. Plus ultra is the ideal of progressive nations, and of progressive men and women. Plus ultra, with its vision of promise and achievement, should inspire us to Let knowledge grow from more to more —and “to project the energetic spirit of school life into community activities. In High School we have grasped the fundamentals, the elements with which we are to work. We have ideas and ideals, how shall they find expression? The purpose of our education has been to help us to live in the true enjoyment of life, not passively with a cornucopia showering blessings upon us. but rather in the enjoyment that comes from “strong, decided activity in our life work. In any work which we shall choose to pursue, we shall find that High School has given us preparation. Our studies. Mathematics, Commercial Law. and Science, have given us concrete information of practical situations and processes; History and Literature have shown us the workings of the minds of men. But they have always challenged “More Beyond ; more beyond in gaining truth; more beyond in culture. Often in our class work so Page For if three near have we been to Math, to Science, to Latin, to History and to Literature, that we have not seen the possibilities of projection. We have not placed things in their relation to the whole. Now the relation of the parts to the whole, and the almost infinite projection of our study—these arc claiming our attention and are giving us a vision. With our elementary knowledge of Science we may study and understand the marvelous developments of our century. Marconi and Edison are greater genii than Puck and his host. The music of the spheres has been fulfilled in part, for today radio makes us hear the music of the sphere. And we are beginning to live life “more abundantly. With our scant knowledge of history, we are trying to apprehend the meaning of some of the political problems of today; sympathetically to understand the struggles of society to live in greater peace and prosperity. From our readings of the classics, we are able to catch a vision of the inner man; of the many ideas and fancies to which his finite mind is subject, and of the struggles of his infinite spirit for the noble and lofty: We are caught up in that higher atmosphere—where things remote become near, things intangible, tangible. We desire the enjoyment of Nature, of the aesthetic arts; and world citizenship in a brotherhood of man. There is something beyond intellectual growth, something beyond aesthetic appreciation, something beyond world-wide citizenship; that something is the source of our life inspiration; that something is reverence. Happy are we if each has a temple in his understanding. To Burns, the simple things of Nature were beautiful because he stood reverent in her presence. “The works of man, the works of art never challenge a man’s warm admiration, never evoke the strong feelings of his heart, never influence the deep currents of his life until for them he feels the deepest reverence. If a man docs not revere his play and his work, they are both done idly. To paraphrase Carlyle, if a man docs not love reverently, he cannot love purely. For the realities of life we must have reverence. Then, fellow classmates, work is not drudgery: there is more beyond; work is the spending of our energies for the betterment of the world. Play is not idle pastime, but the renewing of our energies and the re-creating of our spirits. Love is not sentimentality, but a force to bind men closer to each other; a power for healing the ills of the world. Always, there is more beyond. TELFAIR HENDON. JR.. President, 1923. Page Forty-four COURAGE Classmates of 1923: You have chosen me with other comrades to represent you on our graduation day; but ns I enjoy the privilege and the honor assigned me, I realize that mine is a most difficult part. 1 am one who had anticipated this day as a day of victory; and I had thought that victory always meant a joyful celebration of hard-fought battles. But now I find that— We look before and after And pine for what is not. Our sinccrest laughter With some pain is fraught.’’ As we think of the hallowed associations, one with the other, of the hours of noble inspiration and devoted instruction received from our faithful and beloved teachers; of the friendships and sweet memories of yesterday,—we would that it were au revoir and not farewell; for that word ’’syllables pain” as it shuts forever on the past, and opens into the devious roads of the great unknown. It is farewell to the school officials who have labored faithfully that we might have facilities for an education: it is farewell to our beloved instructors, from whom we have learned many lessons not taught in books; lessons of loyalty and love, of consecration and devotion, of self-sacrifice and service. For— ”No printed page nor spoken plea May teach young hearts what they should be— Not all the books on all the shelves, But what the teachers are themeslves. And so. despite their doubts and fears, we believe that they have builded better than they knew.” All honor to you. our teachers! We will ever remain your debtors and ever strive to repay you with love and memory and with lives nobly lived and deeds nobly done. It is farewell to the little shacks we learned to love and call our homes. Shacks though they may be. they. too. are hallowed walls. They stand, and will stand, in our memories as noble tributes to the industrious and zealous endeavors of the beloved John Herbert Phillips, who, with his energetic corps of able assistants, restored from ashes a visible and tangible Central High School within three days’ time after it had been destroyed by vandals. To us the cottages on Avenue F arc the little red school houses on the hills,’’ which we will love and cherish even to ripe old age. And to our friends in the lower classes who still are toiling on. to those who sec the grandeur of a brighter day,” when the handsome edifice Page Forty-five and monument to our benefactor is dedicated to the great cause, to those who will follow in our footsteps and who will carry on and far outstrip us. we bid farewell. We here have learned to love you as we have seen you grow from year to year, as we have worked and played together and have caught with you a vision of the future. God speed to you! And to you. my classmates.—would that 1 might be your spokesman, the one to the other, at this, the crossing of the ways. Would that I were equal to the task. Would that all your goodbyes, your God-speeds, your hopes, your beliefs and your confidences and your wishes.—would that they all might be gathered together and be spoken here today in one great message which would live and grow in your hearts. We have come the way of all fighting men: the roads have been rough and heavy; at times they have been smooth and pleasant, with many a joyful resting place beneath a bough: often we have squandered and neglected, and for this our hearts are filled with regrets as kindred as they are deep; sometimes we have disappointed; sometimes we have pleased; the days have been gay and the days have been sad; but we have had a taste of life. Truly this is the commencement I Joy. shipmates, joy! Our life is closed I Our life begins: The long, long anchorage we leave; The ship is clear, at last she leaps She swiftly courses from the shore; Joy, shipmates, joy! Such must be our future attitude toward life, for life has just begun. I do not know what we shall find on out beyond the final fight. I do not know what we shall meet beyond the last barrage of the night. Nor do 1 care—but this 1 know—if we but serve within the fold And play the game—we’ll be prepared for all the endless years may hold. Life is a training camp at best for what may wait beyond the years. A training camp of toiling days that lean to dreams and tears. But each may come upon the goal, and build his soul above all fate By holding an unbroken faith and taking Courage for a Mate. And so I summon you to a Brave Life. whatever else it may be. May all of us acquit ourselves like men. If we have done well here in our period of peparation under the tutelage of devoted men and women, then out there may wc hear their sustaining voices crying. Strive, thrive, fight on! Fare ever there as here! And if we have failed at times, may we hear them encouraging us:— Old failures will not halt. Today is the thing, tomorrow soon will be; Get in the fight, and face it unfraid. Paf f Forty-six The learned statesmen of today, those with a broad outlook, tell us that we arc living in a very sick world. They say that nations are looking to America for healing power. There’s hard work to do; that's why we are here!” That is why our state and our city expect us who have been prepared to go out to restore and reclaim. Our instructors have not been unmindful of the obligations which we shall soon assume. We cannot feel when the battle is upon us that we are unprepared; rather, we should say. We know how rough the road will be. How heavy the load will be. We know about the barricades that wait along the track. But we have set our souls ahead Upon a certain goal ahead. And nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.” We separate, then, today, each to go his separate path, each to follow the gleam, to do brave battles, and to strive to make the world better for his having been among his fellow men. Many strange faces will beckon us. and many new voices will call, but may we say with the Good Gray Poet. “Surely whosoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her shall I follow As the water follows the moon, silently with fluid steps anywhere round the globe.” Then from one to another and to each and all, a strong, heroic though sad farewell—farewell I On by the sky line, faint and vague, in the Far country all must know Now laurel crown of fame may wait beyond the sunset s glow But life has given us the choice to train and serve within the fold To meet the test—and be prepared for all the endless years may hold. bryant McCullough sells. Corresponding Secretary. 23. Pag Forty-sci en BY RADIO-1936 Bryant's clever idea of having a progressive class meeting by radio most positively proves him to be a genius.. It is nothing short of wonderful to think of hearing something about all two hundred and sixty-six of the 23 class in less than an hour's time. He has gotten in touch with everyone to tell the plan. New York tuned in—Marjorie Scruggs: I’m running a chicken farm on McAlpine Hotel Roof Garden—great success, thanks to advertising firm of Beaumont. Baugh and Blackford. Three assistants on farm. Lillian Fearn. Caroline Tanner, Jennie Lehmann. Just back from Nutty Sisters, Inc., clever little shop with all conceivable confections made of nuts—store front in shape of English walnut shell. Six proprietors. Lucy McCalley, Mary Giles. Bernice Lea. Anne Catherine Arnold. Lucy Crow and Mary Fain Lunsford, nearly eat up the profits. Marjorie continues: Ed Glenn's venture in form of sweet potato farm —crops successful until he hired John Lake Parker. Covington Riley and Fletcher King to compile book of recipes and ways to eat potatoes. They found only thirteen and crop failed two years straight. Ed giving up scheme. Dick Ransom, as an Arrow Collar Ad Man. receives many amorous letters from fair admirers—employs Ross Buzzanca to attend to said epistles. Recently talked to Edward Thomas, very clever editor of new, widely popular humorous magazine. Th e Pun! Dr. Arnold Friedman was with him, discussing new department in magazine. Ed Streit advancing in military world—now aide-de-camp to commanding general of the army. Others on staff. Parker Parsons. Willett Rudolph and Jack Tucker. Edgar Scott and Hamilton West just finished comprehensive encyclopedia. It took seven colleagues five years to collect material. After all seven, James Odom. Horton Chamblee. Robert Gorman. Carl Miller, Edward Lap-page. Earl Ford and Donald McCuaig, had reported, it took six years to prepare Weacott Encyclopedia for publishers. This firm. Backshics, Barger and Bowers, made a very costly error in printing of work—authors forced to sue— engaged Margaret Greene, prominent in several large cases, to handle affair. Publishers hired Leroy Simms, who, fearing outcome when he heard of his opponent, wired for a meeting with lawyer, and diplomatically settled the affair without a court battle. Matilda Hood, noted sculptress, just finished great memorial to be sent to France; is planning to begin on series of poses of Elizabeth Perry, who is studying Greek dancing. Latter is to make tour of United States with some of her dancers. Margaret McGuire, Marie Ullman. Anna Gilmore, Frances Fies and Rosamond Goldman. Page Party-eight Hulda McNcel is now lace buyer for Wanamaker—has three trips abroad every year and receives quite a remarkable salary. Odie and Osie Lett, serving as life guards at Atlantic Beach, often save as many as thirty-five lives a day.” Marjorie ceases speaking, turning the platform over to Sewell St. John, who chants a poem of his own in a most charming manner. (’Tis a pity he can't tell, with proper modesty, what a lion in New York's intellectual circle he really is I) Sewell proceeds: John McVay is choir master of the largest Episcopal church in New York, St. John the Divine. With operatic aspirations, he studies abroad four months every year. During his absence his soloist, Frances Wood, takes his place. In Paris, John often sees Evelyn Kinney, who is studying there, and who is planning a concert tour of this country very shortly. Roberta Mathes, with Mildred Lindsay, owns a charming antique shop. Three agents, who ferret out real antiques, are Edna Smith. Catherine McNally. and Helon Upshaw. Sol Harelik is quite successful in the banana importing business. He has three agents in South America. St. Louis announced almost immediately upon finish of New York list— Bob Porter: A dreadful fire has just been extinguished through the bravery of the chief of the fire department, Myrl McKenna, and three daring bystanders, Harrell Little, William Stuckey and Robert Williams—all unharmed. The factory of Lindsay Builder, the coffee king, would have been destroyed but for the action of these men.” Bob continues: ”Le Grand Wilson and I have landed a contract to build an elevated in St. Louis. We are going to New York to study the construction of the one there. Three assistants are Jack Nelms, Alton McWhorter. Dan Sharits and Sol Berry. Frank Richard and William Clift have the same contract in Birmingham. They are going to meet me in New York to confer on construction. Ruth Miller, who is visiting Elizabeth Gibson, the renowned inventor of the non-skid hairpin, has just won the Southern states tennis championship. She is quite a skilled player. Ralph Mills, manufacturing Yum Yum Chew Gum. wintergreen flavor, chews up his profits. Some girls in his factory arc Norine Jones. Lorine Cummings. Mary Farrell and Jeffie May Spear. His private secretary is Rena Cruce: the foreman of the plant. Edward Foster Thomas. Anna Collier is noted as an authority on bridge. She, Gertrude Buffington and Ethel Hearn studied Elwell and Hoyle six years in preparation for their career, and are now making much money teaching people to play a scientific game. Page Forty-nine Marguerite Baird. Lois Campbell, Gesina De Hall are successful as novelty photographers. They make a specialty of odd, unusual pictures. Hazel Dismukes has just finished writing an English Grammar—such strenuous work that she was compelled to go away for a rest. Clarence Travis, aided by Ralph Terhune, has worked out a formula for perfumed glue. Some especially skilled chemists in his factory working on other formulas are Mary Elizabeth Callier, Baby Peacock. Lottie Randman and Hannah White. Helen Crain and Joyce Snodgrass are operating a waffle kitchen. Some regular patrons, persons of note, are the owner of the largest turtle farm in the world. Bryant Sells; famous dancing master, Earl Evans; renowned composer. Gladys Vail, and owner of the Right Laundry, friend Sterling Oscar. Four former patrons who arc leaving shortly for China as medical missionaries are Margaret Smith. Dorothy Henderson. Mary Harbin and Maurine White. Bob stops talking. San Francisco tunes in and Philip Alford speaks—or rather delivers an oration. It is not surprising that the class of ‘23 should attain fame in arts as well as commerce. They were a class noted for their sincerity and originality. Among their number are many San Francisco residents. Characterized by the first quality is Royce Crawford, the noted genealogist, who has traced the ancestors of such personages as James Lackmond. the owner of the largest orange grove in California; Eleanor Cobb, the noted psycho-analyst; Harvey Williamson, the absolutely painless dentist, and Walter Levy and Stanley Erd-reich. who are collaborating on a historical novel of China. It has been Royce's privilege to trace the family trees of these people— tis a fitting reward for an honest genealogist. James Dillard's passion for honesty has led him to make true the boast of Piggly Wiggly All Over the World; he has gotten consent to start, in Iceland, another link in Piggly’s long chain. Going to help in the enterprise are Marvin Acton. Ross Kendall and Arnold Seale. At the same time are going Robert Rollings and Frank Freedman, to enter the occupation of raising eider ducks, with reindeer as a side line. Among the artist group is Carmelite Jackson, who has just finished a new scries of bed-time stories for children, which are said to be the cleverest, most original ever written and are guaranteed to put any child asleep in twelve minutes of reading. With this volume can be bought a book of Victrola records sung by the two Elizabeths. Stone and Stephens, respectively. These songs, going right along with the stories, are written by Carmelite and put to music by the aforesaid Elizabeths. The little set is quite popular, according to Lillian Bates, the San Francisco agent. Another artistic and original enterprise is that of Mildred Lee and Leona Lewis. The Lee-Lewis lamp shade shop is a fascinating establishment with odd shades its only line. Business has prospered to such a degree that Page Fifty four assistants have been engaged. Elizabeth Pittman. Leonora Hooper. Margaret Pow and Catherine Harvey. Telfair Hendon has an unique Oriental Shop, which imports all kinds of Chinese and Japanese novelties and Persian rugs of beautiful weave. He has made quite a success of the business. My own prosperity is due to the sudden popularity of small, private aeroplanes, which Lucile Nelson and Elizabeth Stephenson sell in San Francisco. 1 figured out a plan by which a landing place and hangar can be built on top of certain houses and then engaged Arthur Brown. Lawrence McIntyre, Jack Lloyd and Cris Ransom to teach the timorous owners how to enter their hangars successfully. Mayer Newfield. Jimmie Merrell and Colman Sachs have devised a plan to park planes on the street without impeding traffic. The scheme has been submitted to the city government officials. Thomas Lavender, Clarence Fossett. George Alsmiller, Charles Bilbe and Howlett Minto, to be passed on. Philip brings his talk to a close and Birmingham is announced; Elizabeth Thomas speaking: Virginia Pcgues and 1 have an exclusive Japanese tea room. Some of my special Japanese waitresses are Maxine Moss. Julia Marshall. Frankye Wood, Virginia Fidler. Mildred McWhorter and Marion Jones. Of the Greenwich Village movement in Birmingham, the exponents arc Katherine Simmons. Margaret Perryman. Jennie Wood, with studios at Five Points. They have held several exhibitions of cubist art. Sam Coplon has a plan for parking automobiles on top of each other by means of platform above first row. with runway to be let down as one parks on second tier. Though Charles Scalco and Vincent Catanzano helped to devise the plan, it is not altogether successful, as five cars have been demolished in efforts to prove possibilities of plan. Virgie May Royals, who is running Philips High lunch room, gives two chicken dinners a week. Her assistants are Elsie Garner. Elizabeth Kremser. Katie Mclnerney. Elsie Orr, Sadie Trucks and Jessie Bennie. Service is flawless. The very smart beauty shop of Helen Gibson and Bertha Cummins has four special manicurists, Thelma Adams, Jewell Byrd, Golda Mae Barrett and Mildred Faull. The children's barber is Dorothy Carlisle, the masseur. Floyce Alverson. and the hairdresser. Lucile Davis—experts of which the shop boasts. Leland Switzer has a skating rink opposite the Lyric. That popular amusement place runs only four days a week on account of deadening competition across the street. The corps of special instructors are Elizabeth Mc-Reynolds. Gertrude Wood. Catherine Cooney. Elizabeth Graves and Mildred Lawson. Page Fifty-one John Cooke is proficient as a human fly. Jay Driesback. John Adams, and Don Barber are planning the same career. Jay is extraordinarily daring; he climbs the last two stories with his back to the building, calmly looking down. Marie Hickman, the successful interior decorator, is planning the adornment of the summer home of the noted author. Evelyn Heidenrich The place is being designed by the architectural firm of Cook and Coker. Mary Claude Morris is connected with the firm in the vocation of landscape gardener. She has planned several places of remarkalbe beauty. John Thomas' brick factory produces daily five times as many bricks as ‘Ignatz’ tosses at Krazy Kat‘ yearly. Joe Travis makes quite an efficient foreman. At Paul Chambers’ hospital at North Birmingham several of the surgeons are women and three are of the 23 class of Central—Susan Gould, Martha Feltus and Marguerite Douglas. Nurses from the same class are Mildred Mullins. Edna Hitchcock. Mary Alice Rittenbcrry. Daisy Thead. Mildred Trout, with Antoinette Norton head nurse A very serious, though successful, operation was performed by Marguerite Douglass on the winner of the Southern states beauty contest, Carolyn Schulhofer. Grace Riley is engaged to amuse patients with clever readings and plays. Her assistants, prominent in the growth of The Little Theatre in Birmingham, are Nell Townsend, Louise Douglas and Margaret Hanes. Cullen Lackey has made a fortune on the invention of an absolutely sure freckle cream—guaranteed to remove any freckle on any face with no discrimination. Last on Birmingham's roster. continues Elizabeth, is Ludwig Smith, with his institution, the Rolling Pressing Shop. His apparatus, specially made, is small enough to keep the automobile from being too heavy. On his rounds he collects suits, presses them while collecting more and returns them all the same day. Two assistants are George Williamson and Percy McKerrall. On the car is a sign, 'We press while we roll.’ Chicago— Gladys McGuire is head of Oral English Department of the University of Chicago; several of her graduates are in Chatauqua work, Bessie Harrell. Paschstein Rubenstein. and Mary Walter Smyer. Hazel Wooley. the efficiency expert of the International Harvester Co., has as stenographers in her different departments Beatrice Levy. Sara Piem, Ruth Robbin, Alma Whaley. Lorila White, Gertrude Ziff. Carlotta Johnson. Dora Gottlieb. Flora Goldberg. Helen Fein. Bertha Peldstein and Rose Lipsitz.

Margaret McCarty is operating a matrimonial bureau. Some sublimely happy protegees arc Eleanor Dowd, Leta Beitman. Frances Gross and Florence Touro. Lillian Newman and Eugenia Andrews give a correspondence course on “How to Learn to Play the Saxophone in Your Home!’ They say there is great money in the business, although they charge a nominal sum for the twenty-two lessons. Yardley Canby owns a very smart English shop for men—patronized by ‘those who know what to wear!' A. J. Bryant, “the gentleman radical,’ is a steady customer. By his sane speeches and equally sane arguments for Labor and Capital, A. J. has achieved better conditions for the laborer. Doris Myers, parcheesi wizard, is writing a book on why parcheesi should be as widely played as checkers or dominoes. Gertrude Altersohn. Hilda Booze and Joan Dougherty own a Batik shop. They turn out all kinds of bizarre but lovely designs. Chicago speaks no more, and Paris soon responds, through the medium of Susie Cobbs. She has certainly achieved great things in the thirteen years since graduation; indeed, has recently been appointed ambassador to France. Diplomatic life, says Susie, is wonderful and causes one to meet all kinds of interesting people, new friends and old. Russell Smith is in Paris, translating his book of poems into French. It will soon be ready for the publishers. I have had delightful chats with Leonard Egerman. the great magician, who is touring Europe. He is the greatest the world has ever known and has startled even blase Paris. Likewise, have I seen Annie Joseph. Virginia Kockritz, Frances Schloss and Adelyn Karasek. who are acting as guides in the Alps. Other old class members I have enjoyed are Leon Yielding, who, in the Olympic meet, won the disk-throwing contest; Jim Smith, who won the hurdling medal, and Frank Chambers, the 1 00-vard dasjr. I have heard that Arthur Daniel. Milton Finch, and Frank Schlicter. traveling through Europe, were involved in the revolution in Montenegro. The king, taking a great fancy to them, refused to let them go, giving all three responsible positions—Arthur Daniel, court taster; Milton Finch, professional worrier—really court jester. and Frank Schlicter. position of minister who is to improve the soil. They will probably finish their lives in Montenegro. Susie ceases speaking, a buzzing sounds and no more is heard of Paris. The class meeting is over. MORGIA SHROPSHIRE. Prophet, '23. Pane Fifty-three THE VANGUARD Having completed our course in Central High School, today we recall the kaleidoscopical variety of the incidents and experiences of our four years; and as Seniors look back upon them with an historical eye. During high school, while delving deep into philosophy—not so much in its application to ancient events as to modern issues—at every turn we found Emerson s statement preeminently true that Every reform was once a private opinion, that when again it shall become everyone's private opinion, it will solve the problems of the age. In support of this, in attacking all issues, we tolerated the radical views of each and every class member, until they became the accepted theories of the mass; then we acted with one mind. In the hand-to-mouth struggle of modern life the most pertinent question with us has been that of economy. Indeed, the volume of our private opinion was diverted quite early into this channel and suggested to us that we should reduce the budget of study. We have long believed that relief for complicated high school situations lies in simplifying studies. For instance, in mathematics we study biography, history, navigation, and the art of running a retail grocery store. Why, in the name of Newton, can we not confine our thoughts to pure mathematics? Again, in science, which deals only with facts, wc develop monkeys into creatures who. unable to see clearly by one illumination, entertain three different theories of light. Wonderful, but the three-fold process is painful, and should be limited to one final Q. E. D. Contemplate the tomes of literature through which we have struggled 1 Who has gazed at them but in awe. and wondered what personal Nemesis permitted them to escape the hands of vandals? How shall we produce a Golden Age in literary history for our children's children? Only by writing simplified text-books for them; not tomes, but abridged editions of knowledge— booklets. leaflets where Brevity is the soul of wit. Another individual opinion gathering power has been the ever-recurring collective thought of the bonus. Bonuses requested on the grounds of promising futures have always been refused on the theory that history repeats itself. Nevertheless, there have been times when splendid rhetorical and oratorical flights have raised sixty by five, which is just, since true genius should be rewarded where found; but when flights failed and aces fell, long has been the lament. However, beyond ninety nothing less than a fine frenzy could work wonders. But to return to the ordinary. After a deserving soldier has served faithfully and successfully through seven campaigns or semesters, what could be more natural than for him to receive a bonus to add impetus to his last charge? We hope this is history in the making. In the intricacies of our diploma pursuit, diplomacy has not been neglected. In truth, it has often stood between us and disaster. The highest exponent of diplomacy is he who can by directions make indirections out. How have we jockeyed library permits to satisfy an altruistic tutor with duly ac- I’ltyc Fifty-four credited slips? How? Why. by the stamp of diplomacy. And how were three sixties inverted for angry parents’ eyes? By dealing in personalities, they were made sins of oversight on the part of the teacher, or undersight, as it were. How easy to transfer the sin of omission from student to teacher. “To divide and rule’ is applicable not only to the policies of kings, but also to those of youthful diplomats, juggling with gTeat historical figures. Turning from high cabinet matters to things more commonplace, we find that the housing problem did not occupy our minds, but rather our feet. We trudged the flats and scaled the heights, wandering in veritable labyrinths of halls. It was always a race question as to whether we would reach our destinations between the ringing of the bells. In the hustling and jostling, just a few handfuls of confetti would have metamorphosed us into carnival crowds. In truth, this very close association was more conducive to congeniality than to discomfort: in fact, we profited by it and developed a compactness of spirit, a unity of purpose, which cemented us into better citizenship. With domestic solidarity we could afford to reach out and form entangling alliances: most of which, however, were hostile to scholastic interests. The sil-vcrshect captured our fancies and carried our attention very rapidly from studies. The light fantastic tripped into our studious hours with happily, daintily enticing tunes. Like Rip Van Winkle, we liked to help build the other fellow’s fence, which misspent labor enriched neither him nor us. but left the tradition that the class of 1923 did not preserve that strict neutrality which Washington recommended. While pleading guilty to misdirected energy, the term unemployment as applied to us does not mean the inane vacuity referred to by sociologists: but, like motion, it is said to be a relative term. Time and situation are not always propitious for important discussions of such vital statistics as latest modes or championhip possibilities. And frequently the books in hand held no such fascinating themes as those read in eloquent eyes, or heard sotto voce. There are interesting curves in cheeks as well as in geometry; arches in eyebrows not encountered in physics, and what sweeter music than a softly modulated voice? Such things made us idle, but the school council concerned itself not with causative facts, but with substitute measures; it being generally agreed that the remedy lay in more intent devotion to things academic. In our deviation therefrom is written not only our personal history, but the history of lost opportunity.” All of which, teachers, parents and pupils have lamented. They have also noted that a large number of students change their courses once or twice before being graduated. But should this be deplored? This changing of courses is but the migratory tendency of intellectual rovers, carried over into new fields through excess of mental energy. It is the sign of growth in our generation; it is the forward movement, and is fast becoming accepted public opinion. The school curriculi are rapidly being redrafted and amplified to accommodate such thought. If you are blessed with the divinely instilled men- Page Fifty-five tal unrest that inspires you to reach out for new fields in which to roam—nurture it, encourage it. History is the record of progress and we should be the vanguard. Turning aside from the facetious, we should be the vanguard in making history for our city, for our state, and for our nation. How forceful and dynamic is the power of students, when their opinion becomes the general voice. How vast and varied has been the personal experience of each member of the class of 19231 History, literature and art are appropriated by the personalities who. for the moment, appreciate them. How liberal and what a vicarious endowment has been ours in High School I We have conquered worlds with Alexander. warred with Napoleon at Waterloo, worshipped with Keats at the Temple of Beauty, touched cups with Burns, lived seven ages with the Immortal Bard. We have stood in the forum with orators, drawn nice distinctions with the French, and shared mental freedom with Milton. The gates of the past have been opened to us. The curtains of the future await our eager hands at the cord.. Wc stand at the threshold of life, we have just begun to live. Places in the world are ready prepared for us. waiting the moment when wc shall be fitted and equipped to step into them. Men and women make the age. This is our age; the class of 1923 shall make noble history; wc aspire to be the vanguard of Progress in the newer, brighter day. ALEXANDER EDWARD THOMAS. Historian, '23. Page Fifty- ' UT PROSIM It is entirely fitting that the motto of the class of '23 be ut proaim. ' The slogan of the age is Service. Our age is an extraordinary one. Man has been emancipated from the slavery of physical needs by the mechanism of our industrial progress. The undreamed of division of labor brought about by modern inventions and industrial arts has almost infinitely magnified the possibilities of human achievements. Material progress has gone on with leaps and bounds. And now the civilized and Christian world is fast learning the great lesson of service. Ore whole world is becoming a common field for service. A great chord of sentiment and feeling runs through all walks of life; everyone gives it forth and everyone in turn receives it. This age is remarkable not only in its change from gain to give, but also in its multiple opportunities for service. There was a time when the servant was looked upon as lowly and his task considered a menial one. But now what a change I The greatest of mankind said, I come not to be ministered unto, but to minister. For long, various professions had as their goal, not money, but service. Now even trade has taken it over; to be a success in business, something other than quality and prices must be offered; service is what is needed. The age has realized that the phase of individual gain-getting and individualistic power always leads to anarchy and reaction, and it becomes necessary even in the interest of effective individualism itself, to recognize the compelling and ultimate authority of society. There are now resting beneath the battlefields of Europe thousands of brave heroes who had the supreme idea of service. They went at their tasks with such enthusiasm that only the grim hand of death could cool their ardor. Theirs was a spectacular service to humanity, but such a chance comes to few generations. Our service to our nation is less conspicuous, but just as important. We may not have an opportunity to face the fire and sword in war; but we must face the problems which confront the nation. We may not be able to sacrifice our lives on the firing line, but we must devote them unselfishly to solving the problems of the state. Woodrow Wilson was at home during the war, far removed from the scenes of battle, and yet he was the greatest casualty of the war. He had prepared himself and awaited his chance to serve. When the time came he tackled the hardest, most complicated problems that ever faced a civilized government, and he won. But whether we ever achieve national recognition, we have countless opportunities to serve in our community. As marvelous as has been our progress, there are certain attendant ills. These constitute in the United States a condition considered by many people as one not less serious than that of ancient Rome in the days of its degeneracy. The first is lethargy. The American people, because of brisk industrial rivalry, the crowded conditions in our cities, and a concentration of energy upon money-making, have entered upon a period of lethargy in their recreational life. Page Fifty-seven The second is apparent moral decline. This, probably growing out of the first, is shown in the debasing of literature and drama. The third is segregation. This, akin to the other two. is strengthening of social barriers and an indifferent sharpening sometimes to actual hostility toward strangers, and especially those strangers who come into our midst from overseas. Community Service is the developing and unifying of all the various agencies in a community so that they may so work together as that they shall be of greatest value to all the people. Community service seems to say. Come with us and help us to make things different. Wherever you go. we are willing to go a little farther; but we cannot go alone and we cannot go without your help.' The fields are sometimes white to the harvest, and the laborers are few or unfit. But it is the glory of this generation that we are at last better fitted to serve. For this service our schooling has fitted us. Through our activities, through our consciousness of the meaning of life, and through the stimulating effects of various contacts we are fully alive to the glories of life. There is no lethargy. And we realize that in spite of the low standards of literature there is yet a hopeful aspect. The very pessimism is hopeful .because it is exhibited by precisely that part of the country and by those elements of the population which were thought forty years ago to be most addicted to boasting and vulgarizing. This pessimism is auspicious because it indicates that the average man is discovering the fact that the mechanism of life is humdrum and uninteresting; it fails to appease men's hunger for a good life. Therefore, like the sinner made conscious of his guilt, he is ready for the reception of a higher culture than that which he has as yet enjoyed. As for segregation, a true spiritual democracy will never be reached until highly trained individuals are united in the bonds of fraternal feeling. Every individual defect in training, defect in aspiration, defect in passion, becomes ultimately a defect in society. Flow fortunate is our own condition and how admirably is our character calculated for setting the great example of democracy. We are accustomed to lcprescntative bodies and the forms of student government through our High School training. We understand the division of power among different branches and the necessity of checks on each. We are essentially democratic: we judge by individual merit. For this we have evolved leaders and a democratic society needs intelligent leaders who can carry on the campaigns of education that are always necessary to bring about needed changes in our social and political life. We arc fitted. Sometimes, classmates, service is but a cloak for selfishness. Let us be sure that our spirit is not that of self-advertisement, not self-gratification, not selfish aims, not disguised gains. Let us not forget the distinction between each and 'all; but all will increasingly be placed at the service of each. With fellowship based upon individualism and with individualism ever leading to fellowship, we shall perform our vital tasks. ARTHUR BROWN. Orator, 23. Page Fifty-eight STATISTICS OF 1923: A Deduction From Psycho-Analysis and Quadronometric Calculus Comrades, 1 have the unspeakable task of putting before you the Statistics of the Class of 1923. For four long years you have weathered every hard test and difficult examination; but. alas, you are not all here; time and the faculty have thinned your ranks. You. the grizzled veterans of four hard years, are but a fragment of the legion that began the assault; as such I salute you. Before giving you the sources of my compilation. I will say that, at the time of compiling. I was in too scientific a mood to trust the hackneyed and trite authority of dictionaries and encyclopedies. so I determined to resort to a psycho-analytical cross-section of the average Senior. In the language of the technically trained, this means to determine the action and reaction of the constituents of the substance known as the mental apparatus by a separation into its several parts. Certain well-known habits may be easily explained in this manner. Thus, the universal habit of bartering themes cannot be charged to a lack of breadth of the chin, because the barterer convinces his conscience of his moral integrity by repeating to himself Shakespeare s famous adage. ’’All’s fair in love, war or High School. Indeed, the trading of themes can be accounted for by one look into the shrewd, calculating, bargaining eyes of the student. Similarly, a faint elasticity of the mouth, showing a tendency to gossip, may be found responsible for tardiness to classes. Now. as for the exchange of Math problems, this is only a vicarious tendency on the part of the problem-solver to suffer for a fellow Math student. Such charitable tendencies express themselves in full rotundity of features, bespeaking a generous nature. So rare is the knowledge offered by psycho-analysis, so unerring are its prognostications that all of the faults, misdemeanors and abberations of the class of 1923 should have been judged at their face value. Instead of this, our pedagogues rated them at a premium and we paid the price. May the study of psycho-analysis increase, is our earnest wish. But speaking of desires, wanderlust is the universally suppressed desire of this illustrious group. A well-nigh insane longing to sally forth from the class and study rooms, at times grips us; a Central student does not have to be asleep to dream cozily of the Utopian school where one may travel the corridors at random without being ’hauled up short” and asked for a passport. In the suppression of this desire, the student becomes accustomed to opposing any and all forward movements; hence, his notorious hostility to the constantly progressing studies. A great many failures and near-failures may be traced to this insane habit that students are by no means responsible for: the habit Page Fifty-nin • forced upon the pupil of remaining stationary when he would be going, going —gone.” Alas, for the retrograde impulse that forbids precipitate movement from class and from room! I wish it to be distinctly understood that these statistics were also computed by implied quadronometric calculus and are therefore infallible: now as to quadronometric calculus. 1 am forbidden to reveal the mystic, cryptic quality of its quantativc analysis, since the evolution of its involutions might startle my hearers. But as far as 1 have been able to ascertain, the duties of a Statistician are to amuse that portion of his audience still awake without creating sufficient disturbance to arouse the larger part of the audience reposing in the arms of Morpheus. To present conglomerated facts without causing either riotous indignation or exhiliration. is the only task now before me. This illustrious and august class of 1923 is the largest, loudest and dumbest in the history of the High School. It is composed of 106 students. 54 jellybeans. 104 flappers and 2 ladies. Of this number, 173 have been in High School 5 years; 21,6 years: 64. 4 years, and 7 were here when the Department of Education began to keep records, so it is impractical to attempt to estimate the length of time they have spent in our institution of learning. But quadronometric calculus has computed that 164 girls have bobbed hair and 162 of them curl it. Ninety-six boys use Stacomb, and the other two use Sta-back. Mr. Babson. the well-known statistician, recently came to the conclusion that the Stacomb used by Central students would feed 1 3 Eskimos for 4 years, 3 months and 2 days. The total cost of this commodity to our students is estimated at six hundred billion marks. Another statistician calculated the range of our senses. He found that if all our eyes were put together we would be able to see Elizabeth Perry’s poetic soul. We have breathed I 7 tons of the Ellen En’s soft coal since our High School career began, and if this energy were used properly in the lunch room, future high school students might have warm soup every day for nine years. The electricity in our hair would furnish light to work. 1.032 Trig problems and to write 19 themes, guaranteed absolutely free from misspelt words. The aforesaid compilator of statistics has also made a study of the law of averages, finding that the average Senior belongs to the weaker, but deadlier sex. and is inflicted with Smith by way of cognomen. Having perpetuated the memory of the distinguished and soon-to-be extinguished class of 1923. we will now proceed to assist you through the eccentricities of the Nameology of this varied assortment of bombastic humanity. Lett us exercise care in choosing our professions, lest we become Lackeys, Cooks. Porters or Barbers: at best, we might be Little Builders or Millers, and we should go to our Graves with the knowledge of failure tormenting us. Choose not the land of Limbo, my classmates, for though Greene Vails and Brown Woods invite you. Stones and Spears show you that this is not the Wright path. The Hills and Clifts that lead to the Woolley West are soon followed by Lake Parker, where White Crains. Peacocks and other Byrds may Page Sixty be found; Berrys also grow on its Moss-covered banks, protected from the Crows by a Hood of Fearns, Kendall up your spirits, for the Payne is but momentary Hurt; travel the hard Streit. for this alone can make us worthy of a King's Ransom. The Gross, idle Fidler, who sneers at every Faull, never Sells himself for Lavender, but wears Sachs and Weeds. This inspiring adjuration being over, we will proceed to select a few words in a Central dictionary to show you the diligent research of our estimable classmates. Said dictionary was compiled by Messrs. James Dillard and Covington Riley in their spare moments in Room 2, therefore its authenticity cannot be doubted. The words are arranged according to the Mirafloristic plan, as James had an important engagement in police court the day of compilation and the usual alphabetical arrangement was out of the question. The definitions are rather lengthy, only two appearing on the first page, which is the only one completed; but this modest effort is prophetic of the genius of the class of I 923. The well-known and much-abused term study is the first discussed. It is very nearly pure Saxon; the root. Studda, was formerly used to designate the pursuit of a wild boar. In time Studda began to be applied to a room in which trophies of the chase were kept. As the owner of the trophy room frequently read for his enlightenment in the studda. the term began to assume its present meaning, which is the pursuit of a bore. It is indeed strange that a word may be trampled upon by generation after generation, without losing much of its original meaning: by simply changing an a to an e and placing after the r in bore, exactly the same definition may be made to apply. By some strange association of thought, on the same page, in friendly juxtaposition, were the words study-graduate. While inwardly wondering over and admiring the felicitous contiguity. I noted that to the word graduate our lexicographers had given special mention and particular emphasis. The word may be traced back to the Hindu grada, which means to steal a pig. Alexander the Great carried the embryonic term to Greece, from whence it infested the civilized world, nevertheless, retaining in a certain degree its original meaning. It seems that the classical Greeks, detesting the common swine,'’ substituted the poetical sheep, so that the Greek meaning was to steal a sheep. No change of any consequence has occurred since that time, except that it now refers to the theft of only the outer portion of a sheep, commonly called a sheepskin or a diploma. Here the first page came to a close; the word graduate was its climactic end. So happy was I that we had stolen our diplomas from idle hours of innocuous desuetude that I closed my quadronomctric calculus, folded my psycho-analysis charts and again saluted the grizzled veterans of four hard years—the class of 1923. LEROY A. SIMMS. Statistician. 1923. I'ai e Sixty-one PET PECULIARITIES The authorized definition of peculiarity is: Belonging particularly or ex- clusively to one individual; having a character all its own. “Since the strange and the new do not accommodate themselves to our viewpoint; since they are neither parcel nor part of our action. we have for them a separate classification. We do not discriminate against them, we only differentiate them. It is the degree of difference that characterizes the individual; so individual is the average man. that peculiarity must be regarded as the direct result of personality. Thus each man. woman, and child becomes a separate identity through indulging his own whimsical notions. A whimsical person is a most delightful creature. You never know where he will appear or what turn he will make. Literary men are very often in this class. Irvin S. Cobb, the famous humorist, is full of notions. He has a friend whose office is on the top floor of one of the large buildings in New York, and here Mr. Cobb visits him often, but he always gets off at the floor below and walks up. For what reason we shall never know, yet this strange procedure gives his friends real fun. Samual Johnson counted the lamp posts as he went for his walks, and if by mischance he missed one. he would go all the way back to recount them. The question is. What stimulated Johnson’s unusual reaction? Walter Scott always protested that he could not write unless he had grey paper and blue ink. What inspiration did he receive from this colorful combination? Let whim answer. As with man. so with nations. Reams could be written on national customs and racial characteristics, for each has a distinguished quality, which preserves the flavor of the race and the idiom of the language. Somewhere I have read that if a Scotchman tries to get a job and fails, it is his wish that some other Scotchman may secure it; this is Scotch solidarity. If an Irishman attempts to get a job and fails, he wills that no other Irishman shall have it; this is Celtic independence. The American, however, is to other nations by far the most peculiar. He has the advantage of inheriting the idiosyncrasies of all the other nations and with characteristic vigor has acquired some for himself. He is the idealist. who. by necessity, must struggle against the materialism of the world. More than this, as some think, he has not had the mellowing influence of age, for he lives in a comparatively new world. Agnes Repplier believes though at times he seems almost crude, sometimes too eager and too energetic, and often a bit too lighthearted, that probably he laughs because smiles are more pleasant than tears, or because he has the inherent good sense to try to lighten his own burdens. Is not the motley comic sheet his manly protest against the odds of Fortune? Or is it that he is peculiar? We will either have to agree or dissent with the Quaker who said to his wife. Everybody’s queer but me and thee, and thou art a little queer. When Page Sixty-two estimating our neighbors, we openly admit we incline to Quaker judgment, that our neighbors are very queer. We have one at close range—at very close range—who never plays her victrola until she knows that all her neighbors have retired. 1 hen she will blithely chase away Morpheus with her syncopated rhythm. No longer do we look forward to nightfall as a time of rest, when we shall lay aside the weary burdens of the day and sleep, perchance to dream!” No! For in that sleep what dreams may come? since the music has made us strangely barbarous. True it is that music hath power to charm the savage breast, but not so in this case. Our repeated efforts to sleep, and our rude awakenings from semi-slumber cause us to grow more savage with every note. Let it not be thought that troubles come singly. that the musical devotee is our only peculiar neighbor: for we have another, a fond parent— mother of an only child—and since their advent into the neighborhood we have become more and more bitterly opposed to monopolies. This daring child scales both trees and fences, and it is not an unusual sight to find her on the roof of our garage, consuming our luscious peaches. She is a girl, but she climbs like a boy; in fact, she is very versatile—we've never seen one like her. Were Portia describing her to Nerissa, she would say that she is every child in no child, and lends her boxes quite freely about the neighborhood, with her mother expecting no return of the favor. Our third and thricc-peculiar neighbor is one who can converse for hours upon the depredations of other people's chickens, and their lack of wire fences. et hers run the extent of the neighborhood, and quite often make the dirt fly so fast in our garden that there is no fellowship in the riotous growth: the plants do not thrive harmoniously; the beets often come up with the pole beans, and the morning glories among the asters. It was not until our cruel younger brother posted this sign on her back fence: Plant a garden! How do you expect your neighbors' chickens to live? —that she fully realized her eccentricity, and circumscribed the range of her white leghorns. If Everybody's queer but me and thee, and thou art a little queer. it is perfectly plausible to reason that could we but stand off in the byways and view our own actions, we would doubtless be very much amused by our own pet peculiarities. I confess that 1 have mine, that I hug them to my heart, convinced that they must be petted and pampered in order to withstand the buffetings of the unsympathetic world. One of mine is a small thing in itself, very trivial, yet most of my friends ignore my whim. When riding in street cars, automobiles or locomotives, 1 thoroughly enjoy watching the passing panorama. It irritates me to talk and ride. Some of my best thinking, I venture to say. has been done on street cars! Commend me to the friend who will support me. for the few times I have been bold enough to attempt to think on street railways I have been rudely interrupted. Why do we so easily impinge on the native ways of our friends and associates? Why do they impinge on us? Because each of us is a law unto himself, and in this law doth each take delight. Page Sixty-three “Pet economics are the unmastered details in the art of money spend-ing, but pet peculiarities are indulgences which keeps the world of mankind from becoming flat and prosaic. Pet peculiarities have changed many an ordinary person into an interesting personality. Pet economics are limitations. but pet peculiarities are illuminations. What a dull, drear world this would be. if me and thee were not a little queer. MARGARET McCARTY. Essayist, ‘23. A MOUNTAIN TOP High upon a mountain top The wind passes like a quivering Hand, through the trees High upon a mountain top. Close under the sky The wind moans disconsolately Adown the hill. And the mountain is wrapt In a terrifying stillness. SUSAN MABRY. 24. ALONE The tide rolls in with hollow, dismal roar: The sea-bird flaps its lonely inland flight; The purple marsh-way turns to death-like grey And I am left alone with shrouded night. ALLEN BUZAV1D, 23. THE STAR i Swift years ago a youth was born, a foolish youth, mcsccms. Intoxicate of rhythmic rain and pleading lips of flow rs; Life’s surfeit sweet of fluent days he drank nor new disease. Chaste moon and fervent sun served only love and lovers hours Till one eerie, wakeful night a lambent voice its summons spake. A speaking hand its message wrought, all charactered in light. And pointed where, in sheen of limpid, lancing spray. A great Star spun, caressing, urging, scarce borne of mortal sight. 11 ’’Ascetic pure,” quoth foolish youth, I’ll be, nor taste delight. And fashion high a monument of selfless service white. Through maculating, plangent days and ticking hours of night He strove with flitting fingers, heedless now of symphonies Prayed by cicadas’ crooning choir or singing suns aspeed. Then one November, wan-lit morn he looked and saw ’twas done. His shining, nice-built artistry to deck a world in need: Posthaste he ran to show it forth and leaven human souls. Ill Disbelief’s sly leer and blandness cool his dewy youth defamed And clove, with agonizing thrust, his gallant, throbbing heart. He lifted hand to smite amain the craftsmanship that maimed. But sudden, clear, the Star beheld and halted, action-flushed. To glimpse anew, with wine-quick, swirling pulse, its purposed ray. With manhood's roused wisdom full his lovely toil he viewed, While now again he heard the drowsed susurrus of the day And. home-returning, sensed once more the od’rous, shy-sweet night.

Page Xinety-fke MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT ATHLETICS liPWAHP HOt-T r COACH LAWRENCE STILLWELL Facing a year that gave promise of but little in an athletic way. Coach Stillwell's record speaks for itself. The city championship and an undefeated team in football, a tie for the city title in ba$ketb ill. and a baseball team which bids fair to equal the work in the other two sports. “Duck'' hasn't stated as yet whether he will return to Central next fall. Wherever he may be. however, his numerous Central friends will always wish him the best of luck in his work. CAPTAIN HARRY HOLDER Eyery Crimson supporter is rejoicing because it’ not Ex-Captain Harry Holder, but that Central brilliant little lender of last reaion will again be in Karnes and will pilot, it i hoped, the tc«.m through another successful year. Harry was an s||.,(a|f selection at hi flnnk, gained consistently when carrying the bull, tackled savagely and was the best forward pass receiver in the state, bar none. He was playing his „.rnnr| year the past fall. uno Paijc Ninety eight CHET HOSTER The gritty work of the little qunrtorback during his two irnioni at Central hat been a subject of much comment and he deserves all sorts of credit for his courageous showing m the face of difficulties. Playing much of the year with a broken hand, he was in the thick of every fray and has richly earned the thanks of every Centralite. Chet will be back next year, which insures a minimum of worry concerning the quarterback berth. HOOTNEY NEWTON The development of Cliff Newton into one of the best halfbacks in the state constituted one of the biggest factors in an undefeated season. His really brilliant work all year was very valuable, it being the backbone of both the aerial nnd running attacks. Hootney's 67 yard sprint against Woodlnwn was as beautifully executed a run ns Rick-wood witnessed all year and his tremendous long passes, with Holder grabbing them, were a constant menace to opponents. Mootncy was in his first yeor nnd still has a season in Crimson regalia. He made both nil-city and ill-state teams. HERMAN SANFORD The remarkably brilliant all-around play of Sandy in that Turkey Day championship game will long live in the memory of Centralitcs. Stepping from a sub position into a regular's berth in the all-important struggle of the year, he turned in a wing exhibition rivalling any seen the entire season. Sandy has another year or so ot Central and was playing his first time on the team. Page Ninety-nine A. C. YOUNG The hard, persistent work of the Duck. who wa� laboring under the injury handicap moil of the season, was of material assistance in bringing the aggregation through to its successful finish. A. C. was never able to do himself justice, as he was in poor shape throughout the yenr. However, he is coming back for another fling in 1923 and Central expects him to rank with the best in the state. He was playing his first season. PUNK GRAVLEE This 133 pound fullback was a considerable portion of the team's great driving power. Punk's wonderful showing in the Woodlnwn game, when he won his spurs and graduated from the scrub ranks to a regular berth, was really remarkable and he is sure to make every fullback in the stole step to keep ahead of him next fall. Punk was playing his first year ond has two more left. JIM SMITH As successor to a long line of brilliant Central centers Gentleman Jim made a splendid showing all through the year and was rewarded at its close by being chosen on the all-city line and on several all-state nominations. Playing his first year at the position. Jim soon mastered its intricacies and was a power of strength all year. He graduates in June after two years’ work and no one will be more missed. Uttc Hundred BOB BOWDEN There never wot rt harder working or more consistent football player at Central High School than Shorty. The rangy form of this right tackle wm prominent in every game and h;s splendid work, especially on the offensive, wn one of the year' features. Eob certainly came through in splendid style and he was mentioned on several all-city teams. He was in his second year on the team and has one term left, if he cares to take it. Central is earnestly hoping he will be back next autumn. LEON YEILDINC The news that Leon, who won his letter under Gil Meyers in 1920. would return for another gridiron fling was hailed with joy by Central supporters and Leon thoroughly came up to expectations. His steadily strong work and his balancing influence on the green right side of the line was a big factor in the team's success. He was Coach Stillwell's own choice for an all-city guard berth. Leon is slated for graduation in June after two years’ faithful service. BUCK STREIT Another prodigal from the 1920 flock was greeted with rousing cheers when Buck returned from Lo Angeles after a brilliant season there and took his old place in the line up. Buck never found himself at fullback, but when shifted to a gunrd berth later on he went like a whirlwind and formed a big cog in what was as strong a line, everything considered, os any Alabama prep school could present. Buck graduates in June and he. too. has played two years at Central. Page One Hundred ami One LOUIE STRICKLAND Meet the alternate captain for 19231 Charles Louie gave the team hi all until he broke hi collar hone late in the year. A savage � tackier ns the team owned and an all-around tough customer on the defensive. Strick was rapidly mastering the other details of a new position and would soon have been on n par with any man in the state. He is counted on to make a real bid for all-state honors next year. Hr was playing his first season. RALPH MILLS Though handicapped all season by his lack of weight and his youth, Punishment was the hardest man in captivity to keep out of a play. He received several all-state votes and would have been easily chosen but for his inability to get his hands on a runner after breaking through the first line. When this defect is cured, as it surely will be. Ralph will make any college's team. He was plnying his initial season nnd will be sorely missed next time, as he graduated in February. LEX FULBR1GHT Lex was another hardluck victim, but he stuck it out to the finish nnd managed to win his letter despite injuries und handicaps which would have made most ordinary mortals lay down and quit in disgust. A very valuable member of the team was Lex and his steady plugging away did more than a little in turning out a winning team. He wus playing his first year on the tenm nnd will be back for another whirl in 1923, when he should be one of the stars of the state. FRANK CHAMBERS There are still some few misguided folks who rather regard the manager's letter as more of a gift than anything else. To those we only call attention to the fact that any one player on a team can usually be dispensed with, but if the manager is missing the game itself is ondnngercd nnd may have to be called off. Hank certainly sweat blood the past season and no man on the nqund is more deserving of his C. Page One Hundred and Ttvo REVIEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON An undefeated 1923 Crimson football team added another to the already lengthy list of brilliant grid machines turned out at Central. Along a battle front comprising Anniston. Huntsville. Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Wood-lawn, Central of Chattanooga and Ensley, the Stillwell squad wound up without a loss. The game with the Noogans resulted in a tie, but it was only by the flimsy margin of a molecule's eyelash that Central failed to score and the contest was regarded as a moral triumph. Opening in a rather disappointing manner against Anniston, the Crimson machine finally began functioning in good style and rang up a 21-0 victory, every tally coming in the last half. This win was due largely to the remarkable work of Hootney Newton, who entered the game at the beginning of the second half, and Captain Harry Holder. Three long runs by Newton, and his work with Holder in passing accounted for the triumph. Huntsville followed the Annistons to the sacrificial altar and was finally slaughtered by a 41-7 margin in another peculiar battle. In this game the score at the close of the first half was 7-7, the North Alabamans having scored on a long pass after a fumble had placed them in counting position. Desperate passes were three times intercepted by Central in the final half and converted into touchdowns. Jim Smith. Harry Holder and Hootney Newton again were the heroes. The hardest test that had thus far faced Central was met and overpassed when Talladega was stopped by a 7-0 count. The visitors showed a fast and savage tackling aggregation, but consistently wide awake defensive play and two sustained drives toward the goal meant another Central win. The work of the line, in every department, was the outstanding feature of this struggle. TTe Black Bears of Tuscaloosa came up from the West and were trampled under a 6-0 margin in a tremendous struggle. The brilliant Newton-Holder passing combination was again a salvation and accounted for the single touchdown of the game, while the ever-threatening and dangerous Bruins Page One Hundred and Three were always stopped when they menaced most. They probably outgaincd Central. but the Birminghammcrs carried the telling punch, while the final wallop was always lacking to the invaders. The first Woodlawn-Central football game was written into the pages as a 19-6 victory for the latter. The Junior Colonels showed a dazzlingly brilliant backfield and a light, but fighting line and they really pushed the Stillwellites at first. Woodlawn was the first to score. Pots Levvy, ex-Centralite, taking it across on a I 6-yard end run. after a Central fumble. Back fought the Crimsons to a tic score, the old off-tackle drive, with three and four-yard gains, carrying the oval across. Shortly after the beginning of the second half. Wood-lawn again opened a march, but Hootney Newton intercepted a pass and ran 67 yards to a touchdown in the most beautiful run of the season. From there on it was easy. Newton and Punk Gravlee were the big luminaries. The Chattanoogans, who formed the only blot on the Crimson escutcheon. came next, and the encounter resulted in a scoreless tie. The visitors kicked off and Central marched from her own three yard line 97 yards down the field, only one exchange of punts interrupting the drive, to within less than an inch of the last white line, only to have the ball go over on downs. The remainder of the game was uninteresting, the teams see-sawing back and forth fruitlessly. The big climax to the season came when Captain Harry Holder completed a miraculous and breath-taking catch of Newton's 25-yard pass and fell over the line for a touchdown, just before the first half of the Thanksgiving Day Ensley game ended. The goal was missed, but it wasn't needed, as the final count was 6-0, Central. Time after time Ensley threatened to score following this, but most of their gains were made in their own territory. Central made but one running first down, but a fumble cost them another touchdown and Holder missed a drop kick only by a six-inch margin, so matters were about even as far as Dame Fortune was concerned. The team's record: 21 Anniston 0 Central.. 41 Huntsville 7 Central 7 Talladega 0 6 Tuscaloosa 0 19 Woodlawn 6 0 Chattanooga 0 6 Ensley 0 Total 100 Opponents 13 Faye One I In ml red and Four CLASS FOOTBALL The usual heated battle in class football the past year resulted in a victory by the Juniors over the Seniors, after two games were necessary to decide the title. The score in the final game was I 2 to 0, the two aggregations previously having played to a scoreless tie. The opening game of the class football season was between the Seniors and Freshmen, the former triumphing over their more youthful and lighter competitors by a count of 22 to 8. The contest was not as close as the score might indicate, the Seniors marching down the field every time they gained possession of the ball. The Freshmen scored on a beautifully executed 50-yard pass and run. their other two points coming as a result of a safety. The Juniors trampled the Sophs in the second contest by a 19-0 count. This contest was somewhat more hard fought than its predecessor, but the Juniors were never seriously doubted to be the winners. The feature of the game was a 60-yard sprint from kickoff by Captain Duncan McArthur of the victors, not a finger being laid on him. The best game, probably, from a spectator's point of view, during the entire series came next, when the Seniors and Juniors fought to a prettily played tie. The Juniors possibly had a slight margin over their much-touted opponents, but it was very slight and the game was fought for the most part in mid-field. with few scoring openings on either side. The triumph of the Juniors over the Seniors in the final struggle was so complete as to be rather uninteresting. The Seniors failed to score a first down and were completely outplayed all the way through. The drive and the brilliance of the winning backs. Bartlett and McArthur, was too much to overcome. coupled with the wonderful work of their line on the defensive. While the Juniors were held off without a score until the final period, their antagonists crumpled completely in this frame, two touchdowns resulting and another being averted only by a gallant, back-to-the-wall stand as the whistle blew. Ptifjr On I Hundred and Fix'e BASKETBALL While ihe Central basketball team achieved a commendable record, the feature of its season is not evidenced by the scores of the games; the big feature of the Crimson cage year was the wonderful fighting spirit of the team under handicaps that none of its predecessors had had to meet. With all the odds against them, Central came from behind in the deciding game of the season and battled her way into a triple tie with Woodlawn and Ensley for the city title. She did this after being apparently hopelessly whipped. Opening against Ensley before they were really ready to do battle, the Avenue F aggregation was beaten by a 23-19 score, after they had led all through the first half and a goodly portion of the last. The game was a gruelling battle and Ensley s better condition and longer work told heavily. After Ensley had beaten Woodlawn and apparently stepped into a safe lead in the race. Woodlawn handed Central her second consecutive wallopping and apparently completely demolished the remaining hopes. The score was 26-20 and once more a first half lead was tossed away. In quick succession followed victories over Anniston and Haleyville. The trip to Anniston resulted in a 24-12 triumph, the Magic Citians reversing their first half jinx and easily winning after being held to an 8-8 count in the first half. The Haleyville contest was merely an opportunity for the subs to put in some time, as the score was 32-1 5 and the victors were never extended. These Potft One Hundred and Six wins gave the Stiilwellites the much-needed workouts and a more strenuous training program served to put them on edge for the final two games of the city series. With their backs against the wall the Crimsons finally stemmed the seemingly unstoppable Golden Tide of Ensley and wrought out an epic 21-17 victory in a contest that required five minutes beyond the usual time limit. The score was tied at 17-17 when the game ended and in the extra period Captain A. C. Young looped two beautiful field efforts through the nettings and the concrete, steel-ribbed defensive of the winners, which was the game’s feature, held Ensley scoreless. Abe Jaffe played his first game and was a big feature. Immediately following this contest, Woodlawn turned in the most flagrant upset of years by slaughtering Ensley in a 30-9 rout. Central in the meantime had whipped the rather weak Doraitcs by a none too hefty margin and approached the final struggle with every indication pointing to a Woodlawn win. However, the aforementioned inability to recognize when they were licked caused the Crimsons to overcome a 7-2 lead which the Hooders quickly compiled, step into the forc and hold their margin to the final gong, winning 23-1 4. Cy Anderson. Abe Jaffe, Captain Young, Herman Sanford and Harry Holder went the route and every one of them exhibited his prettiest work of the year. The encounter placed the city title in a triple knot, but it was not played off and this game closed the schedule. For various reasons. Ensley and Woodlawn did not desire to play it off. despite several Central requests. There is but little question that the team ranked with almost any in the state, considering the inability to procure games, short practice periods and greenness of the material early in the year. At the close of the season, the aggregation was going at a terrific clip and the boys all deserve their full share of credit.

Under the able tutelage of Miss Lucille Ewung. head of the physical training department, the girls made rapid strides in their gym work and were later able to organize a basketball team. The basketball team, while not enjoying a very successful season, so far as games won and lost are considered, showed the same old fighting spirit and good sportsmanship which have become a by-word among both friends and foes of the Crimsons. The G. A. C. members are eagerly looking forward to next year, when the harvest sown this year will be reaped. Much of the time was necessarily used in organization and the other details and difficulties which confront a new club and 1923-24 should witness a wonderful revival of interest in girls’ athjetics, a feature until recently rather neglected at Central. I‘aye One Hundred and High BASEBALL With every prospect of her best baseball team in years. Central was dealt a stunning blow on the eve of the season when Captain A. C. Young and Ed Calbaugh were forced to leave school and go to work. Young was probably the best shortstop in the state and was a star in the City League. Calbaugh was a letter infielder and another City Leaguer. Despite the defection of these men. who had been depended on to furnish an experienced keystone combination, practice opened with a tremendous enthusiasm, more than 50 men turning out. possibly the largest number in the school s history. Bad weather slowed up the practice to a painful degree and to date only two practice games had been played, each of them going five innings. The pitching showed remarkably well in these games. Cy Anderson and Chet Hosier turning in gilt-edged performances on each occasion. Despite their good work, however, the Standard Oil game was lost, 6-0, and the Howard game 3-0. The fielding was very bad in the first struggle, but picked up considerably against the Bulldogs and now the lack of a real offensive strength appears the sole handicap. Pellet destroying proclivities arc most noticeably absent thus far. and this is the department that needs strengthening. It will be a shame if the brand of pitching thus far shown is wasted in front of inefficient Page One Hundred and Nine hitting and if this hole can be plugged, there is every prospect of a victorious team. After a real fight. Herman Sanford appears to have definitely won the first base job. It was at first predicted that Sandy would go to third, where he was much used last year, but Jim Smith's loss for the season made it practically certain that Sanford would handle the bag. Frank Lynch, the little southpaw. is still battling hard and there is an outside chance of Sanford taking second or third yet—Lynch's production of a batting eye would make this a very advisable move, but just now it seems as if Sanford will stick at his natural post. Second base is still a tossup between three youngsters. Edwin Bandy was the early choice for the place, but Jim Bowers’ superior speed and hitting ability have brought him to the front of late, while Duncan McArthur is still far from out of the running. McArthur hasn’t found himself yet. but will likely get going in a few days. Just now. however. Bowers, a left-hand hitter, appears to have the edge. Shortstop is definitely decided. Peewee Cutcliff’s remarkable fielding having placed him positively as a fixture. Cut hasn't been hitting a great deal, but will probably find his bearings soon. He is leadoff man and a good one. his experience with Amory High in Mississippi last summer being very valuable. McIntosh is also fairly sure of the hot corner, though there is still some slight possibility that Harry Holder will be sent there. Several other candidates are hanging on. but Mac, if he can pick up a little in his fielding, is sure of his post. Harry Holder in left and Ty Jones in center appear fairly sure bets. Both of them have been playing bang-up baseball and will be hard to oust. Right field is still in a jumble, with Davis and Poole right now having the dge. Davis is a hard left-hand hitter, but has been sick of late. Poole is doing well and just now has a slight margin. The battery department is well fixed. Frank Chambers, captain and all-state catcher in 1956-2 V, is again on deck for either end of the work. He will hardly do much pitching, however, as his arm is needed back of the bat and several other hurlers of calibre are on hand. Chet Hosier, two-year vet, is the main dependency and appears set for a third year. Cy Anderson, after scrubbing two seasons, is all ready for a banner year, and is fairly sure of the other place. Gorman. Simms and several others have an outside chance, but Anderson and Hostcr will most likely handle the burden. � ; One Hundred and 7V� WEARERS OF THE “C” FOOTBALL Louie Strickland Harry Holder.

The two companies. A and B. which are oldest, were formed into one company, A. and C and D, into Company B. The first and second companies of the elementary were graduated into the unit and called Companies C and D. Captain Clarence Fosset, a returning officer from last year, was appointed major; Captain Addison Merrill was also named major, and assigned to the “Rookies. Company A repeated as honor company of the batallion last semester by making one-tenth per cent more than Company B. Company D came third. There were many transfers of the officers and several changes in the personnel of the companies when the nws was givn out that those eligible would go to Phillips High School. Several man of A and B were not eligible to make the change, so it became necessary to form a company of those who would stay at Central. The company formed was Company D. later dividing into two companies, D and 1. on account of the size. Captain Hedden has spent much time in training men for the rifle team. Central. Woodlawn and Ensley combined have made very good scores in several matches among Fourth Corps Area Junior Units. The team has steadily climbed from fourteenth place to seventh among the schools, the greater number of which stress gallery practice much more than it is being stressed here. Central’s drill team is pointed to win the Bromberg cup again. Teams from Ensley, Woodlawn and Central compete for the cup on Roberts Field about the latter part of April. Sponsors—Batallion.

Page One Hundred and Fourteen The time has come, as the walrus once remarked, to think of many things. The bouquets and bricks must be shuffled and dealt with all fairness; accordingly, we hope that the bouquet snatchers will not become self-important over the choice of the class and that the brick receivers will take no offense, none being intended. The selections here given were chosen by the class as a whole and we have published them without deviation. Most Dignified Senior: Russell Smith, who has had six years of practice, wins this much coveted honor by two lengths. Bob Baugh, and Carmelite Jackson, succeeded in impressing their dignity on a goodly number, following in the order named. Smith's experience seemed to be the deciding factor. The Modern Apollo: Two famous lady-killers left all opposition far behind in an ex citing race. The blondes all voted solidly for Lindsay Builder, giving him a small majority over John McVay, he of the Canary boid voice; however, the fact that John's shine had been ruined on the day of the election by a stroll in the rain may have had something to do with the result. Smartest Girl: According to all forecasts, Susie Cobbs, the Latin. French, Math and English shark, wins first place by a large majority. Hazel Woolley's unusual ability in English, won second place. These two so overshadowed such lesser lights as might appear that no one received more than two votes for third place. Smartest Boy: Leroy Simms leads the field by a comfortable margin. Far be it from us to cast suspicion upon the tellers of the election, but it is a known fact that our estimable editor was among those present when the votes were counted: hence, the comfortable margin. Clarence Travis’ fame as a History shark brought him in second, with room to spare. Most Famous Hobby-Rider: By a brilliant finish, Bobby Baugh wins an exciting race, leading such famous joclcies as Margaret Greene and Jennie Lehmann, who tied for second. Baugh's skillful handling and clever riding decided the contest at the last turn. Page Our Hundred and Fifteen Vogue Model: Lillian Fearn. who is always at least one season ahead of the common herd, is awarded first place. Matilda Hood and Jennie Lehman tied for second in an exciting chase. Beau Brummel: Jelly McKerall swept away all opposition, the commercial department voting for him unanimously. Miss Castleman’s History 8 class also helped to increase his lead over M'sieu John McVay, who ran second. Percy’s fame as a Kiddie Kar pilot proved too much for John’s bell-bottoms and Norfolk. The Greatest Dig: The studious ways of one Jimmy Merrill have induced his classmates to pronounce him the most proficient user of a spade in captivity. Leroy Simms and Telfair Hendon are another famous pair of grave (?) diggers. This trio has been known to unearth jokes older than King Tut himself. The Wittiest Girl: Marjorie Scruggs, whose melodious voice may fre- quently be heard in study rooms, etc., easily takes first place. Osic Lett and Hazel Woolley tied for second place. Hazel stopped to crac ; a joke and it was only by a terrific spurt that she managed to tie Osie. Wittiest Boy: The famous Gas Jet fiend. John Thomas, whose mere appearance is apt to produce convulsions in any classroom, had it over our other humorists like a dollar over a dime. John's personal appeara .re and Harvard Lampoon jokes were too much for Leonard Egerman, who came in second. School Gossip: The concrete ice cream cone for school gossip went to Margaret Greene, with Anna Collier and Bernice Lea a close second and third. We might say, however, that the entire supply of ballots would not be able to list the unmentioned Mr. and Mrs. Grundys. Biggest Bluffer: Three History 8 sharks defy all con petition in the gentle art of pretending knowledge. Bryant Sells and his famous resum-mary” of the topic are awarded first place, with Robert Williams following closely at his heels. Jennie Wood came third and doubtless would have finished higher but for the fact that she lost much valuable practice last semester. Most Original Excuse Maker: Earl Evans, who never uses the same one twice, wins first place in a walk. Lillian Fearn runs second, largely because she has never been known to stay in for tardiness to classes. Thomas Lavender. a faithful pupil of Earl’s, shows wonderful improvement and should in time be able to cope with the first two named. Most Celebrated Peripatetic Philosopher: Mayer Newfield easily came out first in the peripatetic” contest. He. we venture to say, would wear out the most oft-repeated pedometer, while ‘’Jelly’’ McKerral and T homas Lavender came respectively second and third. The Greatest Jiner : With the vote scattered throughout the entire class, a decision in this case was indeed difficult. By considerable calculation and figuration we discovered that Caroline Tanner had nosed in first in this Page One Hundred and Sixteen important race. Philip Alford came one vote to the rear, with Ed Beaumont third. Coyest Maiden: Cynics will say that since the jazz craze began the above species is extinct; to these scatterbrains we show with pride Caroline Tanner. Mary Claude Morris and Golda Mae Barrett. Caroline had rather a good margin, her constant practice abetting her natural ability. Most Versatile Genius: Russell Smith, who grinds out poetry and sport dope on the same typewriter, leaves all other contestants far behind. Buck Streit. Susie Cobbs and Don Barber. mamma s little soldier boy. tied for second place. Most Sophisticated Youth: Frank Blackford wins first, second, third and other places in a race that closely resembled the well-known one of Sparky and Sassy Sue. Central students are inclined to believe that Frank could concede several points to any competitor and still come out well ahead. Huskiest Athlete: Big Jim Smith, star pivot man of the Crimson eleven, comes in first in an exciting race. Edgar Scott, the pride of Room 21, takes second, and “Dummy” Streit. third. ’Dummy” and Edgar started their campaigns rather late, which probably accounts for Jim‘s big lead. Most Pop ’ar Boy: Kid Alford, the debating demon, cops first place easily. Gentleman Jim Smith, of football fame, comes in second, with Bluffing Bryant Sells, third. Kid Alford would have increased his lead, but for the fact that his funds gave out unexpectedly the day previous to election. Most Popular Girl: In a close and exciting race. Elizabeth Thomas wins by a nose from Elizabeth Perry and Lillian hearn. It has been said that the choice for Most Popular Boy had something to do with the result here, but we are inclined to discount any such statements.

I. JUNE. 1923 NO. I Dear Students: Gas is indeed abundant; in fact, according to Mr. Keller, 99.99999% of the air is gas (he did not say what the other .00001 r t was), but this gas is not available for the Gas Jet; in fact, the demand for gas, which can be used in the Gas Jet, exceeds the supply. So if the gas is not up to standard you will have to excuse our poor efforts to make it so. But remember. we have done our best. Miss Chambliss says that there are only a few types of fiction. This is true of jokes also. So if you see a familiar joke in the Gas Jet. please excuse it. Hoping that you will make a sympathetic estimate of our attempt to make a truce with necessity, we are.

Are you quitting now? Instead of driving on, will you drift backwards? To quit, to drift backwards is to die mentally. Sponge, borrow, work your way to a university education. It will give you a 50 to 1 advantage for success. A gambler would not miss the chance. With your intelligence, you should snap up the opportunity. Ask the man with the $25,000.00 income his “secret of success,” end you will generally find that it is some copy-book maxim known to everybody. “Be sure you are right, then go ahead.” “If anything is in your way, go over it.” “Learn something about everything and everything about some- thing.’ Trite! It simply means that success is not a problem of discovering some obscure short-cut. The path is plain enough, but only alertness, energy end self-discipline will push you along it. You can begin now at college to earn your place in the high-salaried class. Each honest day’s work in a laboratory and lecture hall will bring you nearer. It will help you to master the fundamentals cf your profession—so that later you may give time and energy to those larger questions of policy in engineering, selling, management and finance, which fix the executive’s market value.
