He answered, Ere long we will launch A vessel as goodly, and strong, and staunch. As ever weathered a wintry sea! ORDER OF BOOKS The School and Faculty Features Underclassmen Seniors Athletics Military Literary Organizations Humor and Adds w ! fcl DEDICATION To William Luther Russell, who by the excellence of his natural en- dowments, by the lovableness of his disposition, by the guilelessness of his spirit, by the strength of his character, by his devotion to duty, by his untiring industry, by his patient teaching, has for twenty years done much to realize the ideals of this school, this volume of the Panther is affectionately dedicated. 1  S : ) , , cLi THE scHD :r In the shipyard stood the master, ll ' ith the model oi the vessel, That should laugh at all disaster.

His ability to lead the boys in action was respon- sible for the success of the Purple and White. V- Po„ 103 .tti Page 104 ? B ■ iHSUtHA l fi: X E H n 33r DAVID CREED Quarterback Captain David Creed, who led the Central Pan- thers this season, and who was clioscn all city quar- terback, was one of the two lettermen to return this year. His play was outstanding in every game of the season from the first to the last. He did his best work in directing the team and in blocking and tack- ling. All .who played with him feel that his was a friendly leadership that they hated to lose. HAROLD NICHOLS TackU One of the best athletes who ever wore the purple and white is Harold Nichols, captain-elect for 1931. Due to an injury received in the first game of the season. Nick was unable to duplicate his feat of making All-City guard in 1929. Regardless of this, however, he showed his real worth to the team in playing in the three most important games of the district. CHARLES SMITH Fullback Chile was the dark horse of the squad. His wonderful football ability was nearly overlooked by the coaches, and it was not until the third game that he had a chance to display it. He was a demon on both the offense and defense. tfirtW M LENNARD BLANTON Center ■ ' Pug is a steady, sure, heady player a ' ing was accurate and dependable. He is a lljfe ' nted player and needless to say he made the mythical All- City team. JOHN THOMPSON End John Thompson held down the left wing position in a wonderful manner. He is fast down the field. a deadly tackier, and a very smart player. We know he will be valuable to the Central team next year. rs3 l Pate lOi jK« ' BMi C ' -i ' .Tva TOM LOFFLAND End Tom Loffland was the best pass receiver on the Central team and one of the best players. He made a defensive end that was hard to beat, and we are glad to know that he will be back next year. MAX TOHLINE End One of Central ' s all-around athletes is Max Tohline. an end of quality and quantity. The longest man who ever put on the moleskins for dear old Central was one of the best ends in the city. He gave his best for Central in every game he played. He will be one of the most valuable cogs In the purple and white machine next year. HEARD FLOORE Center f ' otJ(jjU- Although Heard Floore did not play in as many games as some, we could always be sure that he would do his part. It is a great thing to say about any athlete that he always hustled, and that is more to the glory of one whose friendship we cherish on the field of battle or in the halls of our school. JOE O ' CONNOR Hal back Joe has the honor of scoring the first points for Central against Cleburi.j. His punting was one of the features of the season. We regret very much to say that he will not be back next year. J. B. THURMAN Guard Thurman successfully fought his way through the season, letting it be known that he was out to make the team. His fighting spirit was one of the reasons for Central ' s victory over Poly. He will be back ir 1931. Page 106 St.jj..fM;.-. 4irjs -zj .ss x. ' . V ■ ' ijr miii i ' .iirj ja ■ PAUL HILL Tackle Paul Hill, or Primo as he was known to the team, is built to handle the hardest position in the line and his big husky frame has held the opposition with ease many times. TRUIVIAN POWRRS Tackh Powers is another one of the Central boys who have made good with the purple and white this year. Powers was one of the most consistent linemen on the Central team. He also will be back next year ELLIOT CHIPS Halfback Greek, the determined half, did much to help the Central team this year. He was a product of last year ' s club. This was his last year and we wish him the best of luck. CLINTON LYNE Guard Clint was one of the most consistent players on the Central team. His coolness and determination with his constant chatter made him very valuable to the team. JACK FUQUA End Patt 107 Jack Fuqua, one of Central ' s outstanding ends, played his best game against Central ' s rivals. North Side and Poly. Although he will not be with us next year we wish him the best of luck. BOBBY STOW End One of the ends who played for Central this year was Bob Stow. Due to injuries he was forced to stay out of play after the first game of the ci ' y scries. We feel sure thai he will prove very valuable lo Uie purple and K I V ARU PULLIAM Halfback PuUiam is small but fast and powerful. He is superb in ability to run interference. He was one of the best men on the team for end runs and gained many yards. He will be with us next year. HARRIS VAN ZANDT Guard We have never known a cleaner sport or a harder fighter. He was one of the best guards in the city and one of Central ' s hopes for next year. JOHN LOFFLAND Student Manager Out of the ranks of the students there is chosen, every year, one outstanding boy for student manager of the football team. The boy this year is John Loffland. a favorite of the boys and one of the best managers Central has had. THOMAS ALLISON Halfback Here he came, there he goes. That ' s just the way other teams felt about Tommy when he re- turned the kickoffs. We are sorry to know he has moved to Sweetwater and will not be back. l ui BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 6 — Central North Side 8— Central Poly 12 — Central Stripling 14_Central Poly 17 — Central Stripling 20— Central North Side 23— Central North Side 30 -Central Poly 4 — Central .

He has played three years for the purple and white, and was one of the best captains ever to lead a Central team to victor} ' . His outstanding floor work and handling of the ball made the other players look on him with awe. He was the hot shot of the Central team, and put much of the life into the players that made the team hard to beat. We are sorry he is graduating, but it will be a lucky college that ets him. ' : Pate «W Max Tohline Center Max Is one of the all-around athletes of Central. He is good at football, but better at basketball. His great height made it possible for him to get the jump on almost every center he played against. His goal shooting was accurate and he played a de- fensive game that made it hard for oppo- nents to score. His big hands made it pos- sible for delicate handling of the ball and all-around he was one of the best. We know he will perform better than ever next year. Clifton Morgan Forivard Clif was the fellow who always could be depended on when points were needed. His accurate shooting from the side of the court made many victories possible that could not have been otherwise. He played his second year for Central and we wish he was to be back. He was one of the best all-around men on the team and he is liked by all wherever he goes. Pagt no SS5K?55?p 5T7J fltdw. ,- 1 iigjjn ' Byron Saam Guard Saam was a player of quality who came to us last year. His performance in last year ' s games let it be known that he was a sure player for this year. He proved worthy of all the praise he received and his handling and passing of the ball was superb. It was largely due to his feeding the ball to the forwards that made many of the points pos- sible. He will be back next year and we know he will be a great help to Central and the team. Walter Paschal Guard Paschal was a stellar guard and one of the very best. His great passing and guard- ing did much toward the winning of the team. He played with the team last year and did a great deal toward helping the team. He was rated as one of the best guards in the city this year. We are glad he will be able to fight for the dear old purple and white next year and much will be expected of him. Page III f V f tARL Meadows apl IS the piride of the squad. He is older of the city pole vaulting record, and this year he won the event by jump- ing 10 feet 6 inches. He also placed third in the javelin throw, and second in the discus. Leon Woodland Leon is one of the best track men on the Central team. He won the 440-yard race in the City Meet against strong competition. He also won third place in the shot put, and was one of the relay team. Howard Pulliam Howard is one of the best men on the track team, and one of Central ' s all-around athletes. His good work for the purple and white gave many points to Central in the City Meet. He took third in the pole vault, third in broad jump, and second in the javelin. Seborne Simpson Seborne was one of the squad last year, and he did his best work in the high hurdles. He ran in the 100-yard high hurdles. We wish him luck in the district. AIarvin Herring Marvin is the best man on the team in the half-mile. He came in first in the City Meet, but was disqualified because of a clash with Green of North Side. He is to the District Meet and hope he has luck next time. He is also one of tlie outstanding men on the relay team. Past 112 Cecil Yancey Cecil is one of the purple and white ' s fast- est men. He placed second in the half-mile. His good work in this event entitles him to go to the District Meet, and we wish him the best of luck. Deloyt Knoy Deloyt was a quarter-miler and ran with the relay team. He was number one posi- tion in the relay, and helped the team to win second in the City Meet. Howard Edwards Edwards was the best man in the shot. He won second place in the City Meet with slightly over 39 feet. We hope he does well for Central in the District Meet. Aron Leutdke Aron Is number two man on the relay team, and was one of the best. It was largely due to him that the relay was a success. G. K. Marti.n Martin is the best miler on the Centra! team. His good work in that event gave the purple and white second place. He runs this event in the District, and we wish him best of luck. Page 1 1 1 r Q jf f f i f MILITBRY First row: Capt. E. D.

' Hft ■ ' W, THE GRADUATE By Hazel Leslie Armstrong She thinks her goal is almost reached. But little does she realize The steep ascent of the ladder, success, That reaches to the skies. She thinks her study is now done, She ' s through with toilsome strife; But she ' ll live to learn that life ' s a lesson We must study all our life. She thinks she ' s through with books and school In her own mind ' s estimation. But she ' s just begun the school of life That will decide her destination. Oh, little do we ever know When we think a thing is done How little we ' ve really accomplished For we ' d find it ' s just begun. THE SHIPMAN By Hazel Leslie Armstrong Over the rivulets we have come, Little streams, crossed one by one; And now we follow where they meet the open sea; We were just a tiny craft, On the tides so idly waft. And now we are abounding ships sailing out into the free. Out into the sea of life To overcome the waves by strife And the whirlpools and the currents that waylay; Sail, oh ship, in waters deep Over waves and currents leap, Till we reach the distant shore that will end our journey ' s way. When we round our ship in port At eternal destinie ' s fort. And we ' ve crossed the sea of life that seemed so wide; When our ships are safely there. The custom-duties ' fare Will be how well we ' ve steered our ships o ' er the heaving, roaring tide. « Pagf 12.1 Jl JH0ti; :;a!i i-e T i .• i«j. j ' -r. TO THE FLAG By Hazel Leslie Armstrong Oh, American flag of red, white, and blue, Waving in the morning breeze, What is there about you which inspires me so? Is it the stars that so combined Make you seem so glorious? Or, is it because the stars stand For states so bold? W ' hat makes my bosom swell with pride When I see you waving so free? What makes me feel so triumphant When I see you ripple fold on fold, Waving first one direction and then another As though you were shedding liberty on all, And reigning as though you hold A secret that has never been told? It is not the stripes united. Nor the forty-eight symbolized stars That make my American heart beat faster, But it is what they all stand for. CASTLES By Hazel Leslie Armstrong If we hear some young one say I ' ll do this or that some day, And we hear the rosy plans that he has made; We say they ' re castles in the air Built on fancy, not on care. And in time they ' ll only melt and fade away. But a question I would ask Before your opinion ' s cast. Don ' t you think that that ' s one form of high ambition? Hadn ' t you rather see one build Castles with his power of will Than to see him fold his hands, acquiescent? To the dreamer I would say Dream your future, plan your way; Do not feel your way along life ' s thorny wall. Build your castles, build them high; Till they reach successes ' sky. Build your castles — though they ' re only doomed to fall. People praise the one who ' s won When the foot race has been run. But I praise the one who tried and lost. Though the winner passed him by, I admire his will to try. Build vour castles at no matter what the cost. l n M , Poet 129 i .v i:aiai . Hm The Building of the Ship Longfellow obtained his inspiration to write The Building of the Ship while visiting the ship-yard where Donald McKay, noted ship-builder of that period, was constructing a ship that was later to be the fastest wind-propelled vessel on the water, Great Republic. McKay ' s life-long ambition was to be able to build ships that would tally in perfection with those of his dreams. When he was a boy of fifteen or sixteen, McKay became acquainted with a famous ship-builder in whose building yard he spent most of his time. He later became an apprentice, and, after the death of his friend, took over the business. In building his ships, McKay not only combined timber and canvas to produce a smooth, neat, and speedy craft, but every time two pieces of wood were put together, to him it meant steadfastly cementing together pieces of images, each one adding to the realiza- tion. As the masts of his clippers soared high and extended in breadth, so did his ambitions become higher and broader. As the masts and hulls of McKay ' s ships developed from mere visions into real and famed speedsters, so will our present day trains of fantasies become virtual assets. The merchant ' s word Delighted the Master heard; For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every Art. How well Longfellow has described this eminent man of talent. Surely the poet ' s heart was in his work, for his poems are abundantly endowed with grace. And whose work is not, if his heart is in it? Ah what a wondrous thing it is To note how many wheels of toil One thought, one word, can set in motion. Wheels of science, inventions, and progress, which were at some time rusty, have been started revolving with a whirr by so common- place a thing as a thought. In the story of this poetical masterpiece founded on an illusion of fame and ideals, is a romance. While McKay was fulfilling a contract for a merchant clipper, he was approaching another step toward happiness in his life. He had been promised that on the da} ' the merchant vessel was completed and ready to sail, he would receive the hand of the merchant ' s daughter in marriage. With this ' ' ' I p as a new prize to work toward, the ship seemed to grow almost overnight. All is finished and at length Has come the bridal day Of beauty and of strength. Crowds followed them around the deck, for another bride was standing by the side of her lover ; she was ready to be a bride of the gray old sea. He knew the chart Of the sailor ' s heart, All of its pleasures and its griefs. All of its shadows and its rocky reefs, All those secret currents that flow With such resistless undertow. As the ship started on its destined course, shouts rose from the crowds gathered nearby. The ocean seemed to tell him to take his bride, so young, and sail forth into the sea of life. Our seniors of today have been building their ships for many years, and sophomores and juniors are nearing the completion of theirs. It will not be many days until the seniors will be embarking on their journey into the sea of experience where trouble, worry, and lucky breaks are the only tools with which the builder may fashion i M Him -|! C ' MM JUST A GERANIUM By Knox Banner Just a geranium, Only a wall flower To be a decoration In some hidden bower. That ' s all she ' s good for, To please the passing eye. She bears her sorrow quietly ' Cause geraniums can ' t cry. Just a geranium, A drooping wall flower, Waiting and watching. Hour after hour. Because of the brains Packed in her cranium. She ' s ignored by the boys — She ' s just a geranium. DEPRESSION By Knox B. ' nner Life is a succession of sorrows. Caused by vain hopes for tomorrows. Our petty cares, at first paramount, Dwindle as greater troubles surmount. II Still greater succeed, and success, sought. Is sought in vain — all comes to naught. No desire attained but leaves sore regret. Ambition and hope alone sustain us as we sweat. Ill Life is filled with drudgery and hate. Only death comes to those who wait. Yet we strive, but, as always, are crushed, W-hile, like puppets, through life we are rushed. ' ' Wt Page 132 i y CLUBS h Fur only what is sound and strong To this vessel shall belong.

And for finding out things! — you just can ' t beat it! Yesterday I died, and before I knew it, 1 was being carried up and up by a big blue angel. I always thought angels were white, but this one was pale blue, maybe because it was Monday. Soon we stood before a massive brass gate, with a keyhole as large as my head. This is heaven, said the angel, and this is Saint Peter, she said, pointing to an old man by the gate. Saint Peter opened the huge portals and the angel left me to roam about as I wished. The first thing I saw was about ten shelves of books behind a desk. On the desk, what should I see but an engraved plate bearing the information, Virginia Grubbs, Recording Angel. Virginia was buried in her work, as she always was in Central, and did not see me until I yelled Copy! at her — that being a familiar old phrase in Journalism Class. She immediately rose and gave me a cordial welcome. I have kept the records of all the members of that great class of 1931. Would you like to see what some of your classmates are doing. ' she said, and gave me her books. Harry Burns, our class president, was the first one ' s record. He was president of the Gulf Rum Company, for prohibition had been repealed and Harry ' s business had increased 300 per cent. Nan ' y Nixon was principal of a Charm School for young ladies. Catherine Carnrike was head of the Art Department in the Paris University. — Quite unexpected! Knox Banner had introduced the act that repealed the Prohibition Amend- ment, and John Burgess had become President of the U. S. with Frances B. Spiller as his private secret;ary. Jack Bates had written a Musical Comedy Supreme and his leading charac- ters were Graham Campbell, Dorothy Deffebach, Roy Riggs, and Mary Martha Cannon. Cody Jennings, Jane Meek, and Leonard Hardin owned a fashionable London gown shop; Joyce Cole was in the movies! Bennie Sargent was Editor-in-Chief of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Jack Dunaway was his competitor, being editor of the Dallas News. Ardelle Ward was teaching Character Reading in 30 Lessons at the L niversal Correspondence School; Merle Hart and J. A. Elder were married in 1937, but divorced in 1938 — too bad, Merle! Clarence Crotty was leading a Bolshevick mob war in Russia, and Ed Sum- mers was a missionary to Bulgaria. Among the marriage license list was found Naomi Pless and Lamar Mills. Georgie Fritz and Bud Harris, T. W. Berryhill and Lillian Moore, and Marv Kenney and John Burns. Elliot Chipps was football coach at Harvard and Lennard Blanton at Yale, but both fighting for Central! Jimmie Lore and Oran Needham had hung out their shingle for they were the largest law firm in Texas. Frank Sheddan was president of the T. A. T. and Craton Pitner was chief pilot for the company.

' All I could find out about Ed Linville and Donald Cobden was that they had been arrested for disorderly conduct and speeding on an average of twice weekly. Ben Dyess was professor of Math at State University and Ahdel Reich was completing her Ph.D. degree at Vassar. Travis Lanham was president of Johns-Hopkins and Jack Spencer an intern. Bravo, Travis and Jack! John Loffland had succeeded Ford and Frances Johnston was filling Mrs. Ford ' s place very wel Madalyn Whitener was head of the Speech Arts Department at Northwestern University; and Cathryn Rumsay, Helen Fellows and Caroline Foster were enjoying their work as professors in T. C. U. Mary Wynn was Editorial Editor for the New York Times and Fred Scott was office boy and played around Mary ' s desk all time. Florine McKinney was leading lady m the Metropolitan Opera success of the season. A life ' s ambition fulfilled! John Durrett was supervising observations at Penta meetings as Oscar Monnig did in 1930-31. Robert Hanna was Professor of Military Science and Tactics in the Fort Worth Public Schools. Herschel King was principal of Central High School! Camille Pressley and Edna Mae Poindexter were touring the world on their honeymoons! They married, but I know not whom! Bob Wynne was vice president of the U. S. and a big bad Wall Street Bear. Billy Hightower was still hoping to graduate from Central in the coming June, but couldn ' t pass dramatics! After looking for several hours at the book, I found that Wilford Carter, Dave Creed, Speedy Muse, Alex Victor, Ed Williams, Jackie Sanders, Mary Wilson, and Mary Elva Dillingham were not on the register. Recording Angel Virginia said they had not been there — so where did they go? Bobby Byrnes was doing Believe It or Not and Mort Bunce and Charles Clarkson were doing Amos and Andy. Duran Doak had, at last, all the loves he wanted, for he was living in Turkey, and had a harem that would make Soloman ' s look like a bachelor apartment! Heard Floore worked in the supply department of a mortuary! Gilbert Wood was taking a fifth European tour for his health. Bill Morro was running a beauty parlor in Hollywood, but his own hair still stood up, as usual. The great dancing teac) er, Andreas Pavley died in 1933 and, so the records said, Janey Lou Johnson vi s succeeding him and Nelle Bone was her adver- tising manager. ;1 In France for the summer were Annette Gibson, Betty Givens, and Dora Lee Byars — giving the French counts a break! Miss Burkett was head of the Board of Education and the public schools were in better condition than ever before. Dorothy Using was the office wife of Delmar Wolfe. Mary Lillian Hickman was an angel aid to St. Peter. John Thompson, Jack Garrett, and Maurice Listen gave a blonde, brunette and red-head tap-dancing tea at the Male Man ' s Club. Howard Wilson and James Evans had become noted astronomers. Evelyn Potter was one of the most beloved grandmothers on earth. Mary Blackburn and Dan Greenwood had a happy home in New York City. I was shocked to deAh when I found that Billy Baker had published a maga- zine to which College Life couldn ' t even hold a candle! Many others, too numerous to mention were there, and some of our grad friends were not. And why. ' Well, can ' t you guess. ' m t!:i.i :?■? Page ISb s:S i t iAM4.

Address The President Texas Christiae University Fort Worth, Texas age 167 ■;i--; k 1 , 3 - I ' ?W ' - ■ ' sMi O WHAT 1 The Most Important Wng In the World to YOU— YOUR EDUCA TION! You Have a House to Build! h ' ■ You employ a carpenter to build a house but as time goes by you notice that his work is not well done. You also notice that your house is developing very slowly. You ask the carpenter why he doesn ' t make more rapid progress and he answers that his .tools are dull. You advise him to sharpen his tools but he says that if he stops to do that he will have to stop work on your house. You attempt to show him that he will save time by stopping to sharpen his tools — that he will do his work more competently, more quickly, and with more credit to himself. The argument ends and the carpenter continues to dii slovenly work and is inexcusably slow. You may not tell him so. but you conclude that he is extremely foolish. Throughout this country are thousands of young people starting to build houses — the life houses in which they will find their pleasures or bear their sorrows. Some of these young folks are building with sharp tools, with mental faculties that have been whetted by training and that will cut sharp and true. Other thousands are trying to build with the dullest sort of tools — with minds that have not been developed that have nut been sharpened to cut into the material out of which life ' s great house is constructed. Does it require a prophet to tell in advance which of these groups of young people will build the kind of houses that the world will admire — the kind that they themselves will be proud of and the kind in which they can live comfortably and happily? Youthtime is planning time and building time. It comes but once. Neglect it and it is lost forever. Neglect it and it carries into after years troubles that may be vexatious and disabling. Youthtime is the time to sharpen mental tools for the great building job that lies ahead, and those of us who have our houses well along toward completion can only think as you do of the carpenter who is building your house — that the boy or girl who permits anything to crowd out the opportunity to get an education is indeed foolish. ' I ' here is a nation-wide movement on among practical educators to emphasize the following program in edu- cation: Pate 168 NEXT? ' G iD FIRST, NEXT, THEN! First, graduation from high school. N(xt, business training. Then, college or university. Experience proves that the high school graduate who first has the advantage of intensive work of the private busncss school makes a better college or university student than does tte graduate directly from high school. A business education bejore college means financial independence in case the college course, for any reason, breaks down. A college graduate who has previously had a course in the business subjects can often use his business course in getting started on the vocation for which he pre- pared in college. Business has become a factor in every vocation of every kind. It is inescapable. Making a living involves a knowledge of business— making more than a living involves a larger knowledge of business — making a lor- tunt is possible only to those who have a superior knowl- edge of business. Finally, it is everywhere recognized that training in business douhlfs the value of a general, or a profes- sional, education. If I wanted to succeed in any line I would get the advice of the most successful men in that line If I chose to be a (ramp. I would go to the most successful tramp. If I wanted to make my mark in the world. I would take the advice of the world ' s leaders. What the World ' s Leaders Tell YOU! ANDREW CARNEGIE, Siccl Kmg .ind Philanihropist ; ! advise young men and women to save the most precious years of their lives by securing a business education, that they may go forth fully equipped early in life. HON. W. T. HARRIS. Ex -Commissioner of Education: Without a thorough and practical commercial education, a business man is like a ship at sea without a compass or a rudder. E- H HARRIMAN. America ' s Greatest Railroad Magnate: I know of no training that costs so little and pays so much as a business college course JOHN WANAMAKER. Founder of America ' s Greatest Department Store; In these days the young man or woman without business training stands little chance. A great, grand work is being done by the business colleges. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. I believe that every young ceed in business should do as I did— cial college. JAMES A, GARFIELD. Ex-President of the United States: Business colleges furnish a better education for pr.ictical pur- poses than Princeton. Harvard or Yale. THEODORE ROOSE ELT. Ex-Prcsidcni of the United States; Every girl should have a ihorniiBh business ir.iining to make her independent of marriage as a means of support.
