ЕХ ў IT 14, stituted at fullback. Conlon, as an end, and Powell, as a sub guard, always proved to be reliable players. In basketball Rudolf Kruger and Sam Lanes upheld the honor of the Class of January, 14. Kruger, the fiery-topped forward, was one of the mainstays of the team of 1913, while Lanes played well at guard for the second team. In all, we can point with pride to these athletes, who have helped to bring honor and fame, not only to themselves, and to us, but to the school they represent. The credit, however, is due not only to themselves, but to their coaches, Mr. Anderson and “Рос” Sargent. Our athletes and those they represent recognize this and give a vote of thanks to those who have worked so hard and so faithfully to make it possible for so many of them to sport a C. SOME SIDELIGHTS ON THE FACULTY. Mr. Telfer is familiarly known as Little John by the students of one of his classes. Whenever some German students see Mr. Triess approaching, they exclaim: Der grosse Kurfuerst kommt jetzt. Every Day in School: Mr. Sinclair— Where were you the third period?” Mr. Herzberg liked this sentence: Karrakis, don't use so much superheated atmosphere. Mr. Dickerson— Miss Lesser, come this way. Miss Lesser— 'I only said one word. Mr. Dickerson— 'It must have been a long one. There was a fellow named Goldstein, Who thought he knew every trig sign; He took his test With a good deal of zest, And found that he'd forgotten his co sine. Thursday—Mr. Gibbs: Prepare for a test to-morrow. Friday—Mr. Gibbs: “І want to break the news gently. There will be no test to-day.

[EXIT 14 OUR ATHLETES. НЕ Senior A Class, as a rule, takes a small part in the athletic activities of the school, but in this respect also, is the class of January 14 an exception. The class has one or more of its representatives on the varsity team in every major branch of sport. Some of the individual stars are Aaron Lasser, the best all-around athlete in Central; Jay Baer, John Gardner, Jonas Lewis, Rudolph Kruger, Charles Watts, Jack Frank, William J. Brohm, Elmer Powell, Henry Voelker, Louis Cohen, John Cullen, Sam Lanes, “Aleck” Schmidt and Ernest Benatre. The three best point winners on the famous track team of 1912-1913 were Aaron Lasser, John Gardner and Jay Baer. Lasser represented Central in the high and low hurdles, pole vault, and broad jump, and is at present the largest point winner in Central. Besides being a member of the Central track team for two years, Lasser has the distinction of being the New Jersey all-scholastic choice for the 220 low hurdles in 1913. “Jinnie” Gardner is the New Jersey all-scholastic choice for the hundred yard dash, and is at present captain of the track team. He was a late-comer to Central, but has managed to do his school a lot of credit in a short time. Jay Baer was a member of the champion relay team of last year, his team-mates being Myer, Lagay, and Rubin. Baer also competed in various quarter-mile scholastic races. Jonas Lewis and John Cullen, two members of our class, were on the Cross-country team which won the American cham- pionship at Philadelphia, on November 27, 1913. These two were also members of the team which won the Eastern State Championships at Princeton in 1912, and in 1913. Louis Cohen and Rudolph Kruger were also members of the Cross-country team. Cohen ran in the Eastern championships on November 1, 1913, but Kruger was unable to run on account of illness. On the baseball diamond we were represented by Captain Charles Watts, of 1911 and 1912, and by Henry Voelker and Leo Conlon. Watts held down second base for Central, while Voelker and Conlon starred at centre field and first base re- spectively. Jay Baer, William Bohm, Jack Frank, Leo Conlon, and Elmer Powell were members of the football-squad of 1912 and 1913. Baer, playing at quarterback, piloted the team for two seasons, Brohm played the guard position, while Frank sub- 17
