Perhaps it is not generally known, but this is the first real graduating class of the Central High School of Newark, М. J. Four years ago we entered the then recently-constructed halls of this school. We were | B's, the first 1-В class to enter Central. Well do we remember the trials and tribulations of that first term. We were without desks, and often without seats. Still further sufferings were the incom- plete state of many rooms, lack of books, supplies and fixtures, and the general confusion caused by ignorance of the rules of the new school. After that first term the school received the necessary quota of teachers and all the equipment needed. We continued to move slowly until we reached 3-B. Then the class was heard of. It was organ- ized. It was during that term that members of the class first began to show their school spirit, many of them holding positions on teams and belonging to the various school clubs. In that same term а success- ful sociable was held. The time passed as though it were winged. The final year came. The class was reoraginzed. Dur- ing the 4-B term an enjoyable and successful prom was held. The Senior term is now on hand. Much has been planned and much will be done. А trip to Washington will be made, a class sociable will be held, and an interesting commencement will occur. At present the class has members in every organ- ization, and officers in almost every one. The class has at least one member on each of the school teams: basketball, football, baseball and track. Very few classes have equalled or will equal this record. SWEET SIXTEEN. Sweet Sixteen means the class of January, 1916. An appropriate name, say we. NEED OF AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. Should the graduates of Central High School form an alumni Yes, is the immediate answer. And why should one not be formed? There is no good reason. ‘То be sure, the school is com- paratively new, but that should be no set-back. [� fact, it is a benefit, as the association would be entirely composed of young members, thereby having better fellowship. Furthermore, these young graduates would be more enthusiastic than would be older ones, and as a result all would co-operate to set the new alumni on a firm footing. Again, it. is an easy mat- ter to inform recent graduates of meetings and social affairs because they are more likely to be in the city than would be the case with older graduates. For these reasons an alumni association should be formed when a school is young. Our assembly could be used for entertainments and gatherings which would keep the name of Central alive in the hearts of all its graduates. Now, or in the very near future, is the time for some graduates to benefit the school by starting the ball rolling for an organization of Central Alumni, which, we hope will, when formed, be the best and most useful body of its kind. association 2 TO OUR FRIENDS. Although this issue of THE Pivot is dedicated to Mr. Orrin W. Snodgrass, Faculty Adviser of the Class of January, 1916, we still wish to thank him editorially for the good he has done for the class. Without enumerating Mr. Snodgrass’ acts of kind- ness to the class, it may be said that they were often done at a great loss of valuable time and at much inconvenience to him. The whole class deeply thanks Mr. Snodgrass for his generous services. Another member of the faculty to whom much credit is due is Mr. Rich. Mr. Rich was Faculty Adviser of our 3-B organization, and while in that ET nA IUD Pie BESIDE capacity performed his duties faithfully. Outside of Mr. Snodgrass, Mr. Rich stands nearest to the heart of January, 1916. Other teachers to whom especial thanks are due are: Messrs. Harzberg, Lewin, MacMillin and Griffith, who did much to make the Senior PIVOT a success, and Mr. Smith, who will arrange the details of our Commencement. Furthermore, the class wishes to offer their thanks to Mr. Wiener, Miss Martin and Mr. Sinclair for the official help they have given the members of the class; to the Misses McNierney and Liebschutz for the manifold requests and favors they have granted; to Mr. Tomey and Mrs. Dixon, as well as to the faculty in general, who have so dili- gently striven and not in vain, we hope, to educate us. In closing, we wish Central were human, too, so we could also thank it for the good times we have had within its halls. A WORD TO GIRLS You all know the girl who wears her hair in her eyes, her ears held tight by a goddess band, feet bedecked in high-heeled dancing pumps and fingers hidden by jewelry. And do you also know the girl who wears her hair combed neatly back, who is able to walk firmly on the ground, and who always looks well in her middy blouse and dark skirt? What do you suppose makes their tastes so differ- ent, and who do you think is the preferable inhabi- tant of a high school? Someone said recently—someone who knows— Perhaps the girls don't realize exactly how they appear on a casual glance. If they did, they would surely try to look more like the second girl than the first. It is not only silly to wear party dresses to school, but it gives one the wrong impression. Some- times a girl is bright and pleasant as can be, but you wouldn't think so by the way she looks. Her hair is so low that it shadows her eyes and makes the lips look scornful and hard, and she walks awkwardly and unnaturally on account of the heels on her shoes. Many girls imagine that they gain admiration if they decorate themselves in a heathenish manner. Per- haps a few foolish ones do admire their attire. But why should they care for the thoughts. of these admir- ers? If these girls but knew what the serious and wise think of their fashions they would discard them as quick as possible. I am sorry for these girls, really. Isn't this opinion—it is really more than that— worth while, girls? Much thanks is due Raymond Szymanowitz for the work done by him on the business side of the Senior Pivor. Szymanowitz is not a Senior A. OUR CLASS MOTTO. Scire est regere (knowledge is power). What a world of meaning and truth there is in this simple statement! It cannot be denied that the leaders in all walks of life owe their positions to knowledge. The noted statesmen, the learned professor, the successful doctor or lawyer, in fact, everyone that has a position of any sort of responsibility or desirability, owes his power to the knowledge he possesses. “To know is to reign! Only those that do know reign supreme; all others, like so many little sheep that have no understanding, follow the men who lead. These followers never attain positions of consequence; they are content to be always what they are. Even though some might want to rise, they are handicapped, for they do not possess the essential requisite of the leader. Central is a leader, not a follower. To be a leader you must know how; and Central most assuredly knows how. That is why this class has chosen as its motto the words so appropriate, so simple, and so true: “Эсте est regere. Let us hope that in years to come, when the future will be the present, that members of the class of January, 1916, will be able to look back and ap- preciate the knowledge they have gained in Central, and that they will all be able to re-echo their class motto, “Эсте est regere. OUR LAST WORD. Since all good things come to an end our high school career now comes to а� end. It is exceedingly hard for us to say good-bye to Central and to all those who have been our friends and advisers, but, as it must be said, we of the class of January, 16, take this opportunity of attempting to express some of the many emotions we feel upon taking leave of our Alma Mater. It is well-nigh impossible to express the great appreciation and gratitude which we feel toward the members of the faculty and toward all those whose faithful co-operation and encourage- ment have made it possible for us to be what we are. A number of us have gone through our high school careers taking all that was given us as a matter of course, and only now, when we have reached our goal, do we recognize and appreciate the true value of everything we have received. It is only now, when we look back upon our happy high school days and think of the mysterious future, that we are brought to a full realization of all that Central has done. We shall look back to the days spent at Central as the happiest ones of our lives, and will forever cherish Central and the ideals it stands for. E СТК FC IC E That Sunday Fish By PauL В. HENERLAU. X OWN from the mountains, and on M through the beautiful wooded valleys of the foothills to the sea, flows the little River of Dreams. Long, long years ago, before the foot of the white man ever profaned its mossy banks, the Indians gave it its musical name; but I am not going to tell you what that is, for fear you may journey there use- lessly. For you may not fish upon the River of Dreams now; it is no longer part of nature’s wilder- ness. From its source to its mouth, and for a space of a mile from each shore, it belongs to Standard Copper, Amalgamated Oil, Consolidated Medicines and United Chewing Gum. It has become a part of their system, their playground, and the public is not allowed to get in, either on the ground floor or on any other floor. Davis Pherry, the man who, many years ago, first gave to mankind the priceless boon of Pherry’s Light- ning Pain-Killer, and William Emery, who cut down and sold, at a very fair profit, half the standing pine on the lower peninsula, were the first of the system to discover the beauties of the River of Dreams. First and foremost of those beauties were the speckled ones, for, as a matter of fact, the beauties of nature did not appeal to them with half the force of their love for fishing; and when they found that the little river fairly swarmed with trout and salmon. they made haste to acquire by purchase and other means, the river from its source to its mouth and all the fish in the river, and the forest for a mile on either side, and the guides who lived upon its banks, and the atmosphere above the river as high as it might extend. Then they let in a few of their friends on the ground floor, shut the door and nailed it shut, and the River of Dreams was erased from the map of the government domain. Strange fishermen they, the members of this little club. Expert fly-casters every one of them, with an excellent knowledge of the likely haunts of the trout or salmon, and the ability to drop a fly within a few inches of a chosen spot, and to hook and land the fish after the strike was made; yet not one among them could handle a canoe, either with a pole or with a paddle. They had never learned because they had never had to; they had always been able to hire soneone to do it for them. The guides, whom they had acquired along with the river and forest and atmosphere, were mostly French-Canadian half-breeds and quarter-breeds, and with them they had acquired the right to six days of their labor; but when they endeavored to acquire the seventh day's labor, also, they found, much to their surprise, that it was the one thing that they did not have money enough to buy. With all their mil- lions of money, their influence and their pull, they could not get those simple woodsfolk to work on Sunday. They never had labored on the Sabbath, neither had their fathers, nor grandfathers. It had never been done, and they would not do it now. Hence it became a custom among the fishermen of the system to rest upon the seventh day, and, as time went on, they gradually came to believe that the universal rule against Sunday fishing was of their own making. They even incorporated it among their by- laws and took great pride in its existence and enforce- ment, and to give it a greater moral effect they even tacked on a penalty of a hundred dollars fine for anyone caught violating it. One Sunday morning Emery arose with the lark, or some other early rising bird, and wandered down to the shore of the great pool. He was in a very wicked frame of mind. The run of salmon was a week overdue, and the trout had been wary and shy Pherry dropped his rod and ran for the boat. A forty-pound saimon on a six-ounce trout rod! А� el.phant on а clothes-line! Аз he reached the boat he paused. ‘lhe voice of Emery smote in tones of thunder on his ear. You frozen idiot! Get into this boat and push her ой or 111 lose this fish—and kill you!” But—but I can't pole a са� ое!”” sputtered Pherry as he tumbled over the stern and picked up the pole. “You Il pole this one all right, or Г throw you overboard, said Emery grimly. “Easy now; keep your head. I've only got fifty yards of trout line left on this reel, the rest is a lot of old rotten little perch line I put on for a filler. If I can keep him on the trout line I may land him, but if he ever gets to sawing on that perch line through the tip, he's a goner. Но the canoe where she is— steady now. Гуе only got ten feet of line in, and then I'll be able to do business with him.” Slowly and carefully, inch by inch, Emery coaxed the great fish toward the boat, his eyes glued on the little knot where the line was spliced. It came to the tip of the rod, caught an instant—an eternity—and slipped through. Р� еггу, in the stern, breathed a prayer of thanksgiving. Slowly the knot traveled down the length of the rod toward the reel—and safety. Now, you see the advantage of trumpet guides,” said Emery triumphantly. “Where would you be with your ring guides and that knot? I tell you there’s nothing like” Look out!” shrieked Pherry in agony. But Emery was looking out. The big fish had made a rush, and he had let it go. It was the only thing to do, and as it was headed up stream and toward the sheer granite wall on the upper side of the pool, he knew he had line enough to let it have its run. Check him! Check Мт!” screamed Pherry т a spasm of fear, as the reel fairly screamed in its efforts to keep up with the fast-running line. Check nothing! You pay attention to your end of the boat. I’m handling this fish. Push her along now, I want to get back some of that line I lost!” When the great fish found his rush obstructed by the smooth wall of rock he very promptly went to the bottom and sulked. Emery was very glad to have him do this, for it gave him a chance to get back some of his lost line. Clumsily and laboriously, with many exertions, Pherry poled the canoe slowly toward the sulking salmon, while Emery carefully reeled in the frail line until the knot that marked the danger line once more disappeared under the glistened sur- face of the trout line. Raise him! Raise him! whispered Pherry, as he stopped exhausted at his work. You attend to your own business, growled Emery. “Pole me up closer, I want all the line I 12 can get on my reel. Pole me over to the right—to the right, I said, you idiot! Oh, you absolute im- becile! Not that way, he'll—now you have done it!” Pherry had done his best to get the canoe placed right, but had only succeeded in getting the boat di- rectly over the fish, which promptly made another rush, this time down stream, and carrying the line under the canoe. Emery, by a quick turn of the rod switched the line under the bottom of the canoe just an instant before it tightened. A fraction of a second later and it would have been too late. Check him! Check him! wailed the pain- killer, struggling manfully to send the canoe after the flying fish; for when a forty-pound salmon starts down stream it’s policy to follow him without delay. Get after him! Get after ыт!” bellowed Emery. Get a hustle on yourself, you inanimate jelly-fish! What do you think I have on this reel—a wire hawser? How do you think I’m going to check a whale with a cotton thread? Push her along, you driveling idiot; you're not mixing pills with that pole, you're supposed to be pushing a canoe!” Pherry was beginning to lose his strength as his breath began to give ош. He was doing the best he could, but he felt sure that the man with the rod was making a mess of his end of the business. бо he panted back: Do you want him to get all your line? Put on your drag and check him down, you chump, or you'll —there, thank your lucky stars, he's turned! Reel in! Reel in, you asinine imbecile! | He's coming straight at you! Now's your chance to get him on your good line again!” But Emery was making his multiplier fairly hum in his frantic efforts to recover his line. In fact, so intent was he on his task that he forgot all about the little knot until reminded of it by a viicious snub as the knot struck the agate tip, Pherry wailed dolor- ously : Now you have done it, you unbaked lobster! You've broken a strand of that department-store fish line! Now you never will land Ыт!” It was only too true. The little three-ply twisted perch line had parted a strand and the frayed end was journeying slowly and laboriously, with many twistings and turnings, toward the reel, as Emery, with face set and muscles tense with excitement, slowly and carefully reeled in. At last the danger line was passed, he rapidly recovered his slack line, and once more got the fell of his quarry. Both men heaved а sigh of relief. And now the fish began a series of short but vicious rushes, which Emery checked very cleverly before the frayed portion of the line had a chance to get off the reel. Pherry stood in the stern, pole in hand, shouting more or less intelligent directions, while the canoe, unnoticed by both men, drifted slowly toward the fast water at the outlet of the pool. The fish was tiring fast, that was evident, and with careful judgment he could be brought to gaff. He was evi- dently safely hooked, and it was now simply a ques- tion of tiring him out. Twice Emery had him within sight, and each time both men exclaimed in one breath: Forty pounds, if he’s an ounce!” Again and again the big man reeled him in, only to lose what he had gained by a game rush on the part of the fish. But at last the rushes grew rapidly shorter, each a little weaker than the one before, and then, Emery reeling in with extreme caution, the giant fish came slowly alongside the canoe and turned on his side, still beating the water weakly with his broad tail. Emery brought him close to the boat and, watching him like a hawk, waited expectantly for the gaff. But Pherry was used to having his guide perform that task for him, and simply sat entranced, waiting for some invisible hand to gaff the fish. Suddenly both men became aware of a slight, quickly recognized movement of the canoe. They were entering the rapids. Pherry jumped about wildly and plunged his pole to the bottom and tried to check the canoe. But to snub a canoe in a strong current and not have it turn broadside to the full force of the stream is not a task for a novice, and as the boat began to wabble uncertainly, Emery hissed between his set teeth: “Drop that pole, you antediluvian goat! Pick up that gaff and land this fish before he gets his wind. Quick now, do as I tell pou! But we're in the rapids! We'll be carried down over the falls and into the Devil's Track and up- set! cried Pherry, struggling wildly with the pole, trying to set the canoe's nose against the current. What if we are? howled Emery. “Pick up that gaff and land this fish!” But I'd rather loose the fish than drown. Take the gaff and land him yourself while I try to hold the boat. We'll never get him into the canoe if we get into the rough water below !” “You pot-bellied dispenser of рат-КШег!”” howled Emery in despair, as the big salmon showed evident signs of reviving; take that gaff and land this fish or I'll throw vou overboard.” Pherry gazed for one brief instant at the six-foot pillar of wrath towering over him, and then in sheer desperation dropped his pole and grabbed the gaff. The splash of the pole as it fell into the water beside the big fish caused the salmon to turn quickly. Pherry, observing the danger signal, made a wild dive with the gaff, but he was too late. The big fish was rested; bis tired muscles had gained renewed energy; his muddled head had cleared, and like a flash he was off, straight up stream, with the canoe drifting rapidly in the opposite direction. Emery did his best to check him, but, as though he realized that his own chance for freedom had come, the salmon kept on. The reel screamed and shrieked in despair as the line cut the water with swishing strokes; the frayed joint of the line shot from the spool, dove through the guides, caught and tangled itself at the tip; there was a sharp snap—and the fish was gone! Pherry sank to the bottom of the canoe in despair. Oh, if you'd only done as I told you to, he began; but catching the baleful glare of Emery's eyes, he stopped short. ‘That individual started to speak, but no words came. Then he deliberately jumped overboard, gave the canoe a vicious shove, and in a voice smothered with profound disgust, said: Get out of this, you——— ' the rest was unintel- ligible. The canoe, with the wild-eyed, terror-stricken Pherry grasping the gunwale in either hand, shot into а shallow reach of rapids, hung broadside on a bowlder, then slowly filled and sank, spilling the panic-stricken Pherry out. Fortunately there was а scant six inches of water at the spot—he would have drowned in a foot—and the little man struggled sputtering to his feet. As he felt his footing firm be- neath him his terror vanished, and anger took its place. He shook his chubby fists at Emery, stand- ing waist-deep in the current a few rods above him and howled: “You miserable lumber-jack, ГИ have you expelled from the club for this. You're no fisherman anyway. You handle a reel like an Italiian organ grinder!” Yes, and you handle a pole like a monkey on a stick! If I'd had a real man in the stern of that canoe I'd have landed that forty-pounder all right! “If I'd had a fisherman — such an accent Pherry put on that word— 'in the bow of that canoe that fish wouldn't be getting his breath in the big pool now. You ought to get back to the pill-counter where you came Нот,” retorted Emery hotly. “Think of it! А forty-pound salmon on a six-ounce fly rod lying practically dead within a foot of you, and you without sense enough under your number seven hat to gaff him! What were you waiting for? Did you think he was going to jump into the boat?” Well, how did you expect me to hold the boat and gaff him at the same time? I’m no professional guide, and I never claimed to be. The cold water, in which Emery stood to his waist, was rapidly cooling his temper, and he said more kindly: “Well, we practically had him landed anyway. If it hadn't been for an accident we'd have had him in the boat. Yes, that's so, assented Pherry, his teeth chat- tering in the cold morning air. It's just like killing duck and then losing him in the grass. It's а satis- faction to know that we had him practically landed. But the question is now, how are we going to get ashore?” The reefs runs across here, said Emery, wading toward the shivering Pherry. “There's only five feet of water on it in the deepest part. We can wade it all right. Yes, vou can; but I'm only five feet four, and I can't breathe under the water. I tried it once, and I know I can't. Emery laughed good naturedly and said: ‘Ҹеј, get on my back and ГП carry you across. Гуе packed two hundred pounds all day for weeks at a time in my younger days, and I guess I can manage an extra fifty for a few yards.” Emery crouched down while the little fat man climbed on his back. Then he struck off carefully through the fast water. Say, Emery. Well? “Гуе been thinking it over, and I guess we'd better not mention this affair at all. Just what I've been thinking.” “The boys will only believe the funny рай of it, and give us the laugh when we tell 'em about landing a forty-pound salmon on a six-ounce trout rod.” And we'd be fined a hundred apiece for fishing on Sunday.” But that same night at dinner the members of the club, as they sat around the table, made the night resound with uproarious laughter. And the next day the club treasury was richer by two checks for one hundred dollars each, one of which bore the name of Emery, and the other the well-known signature of Davis Pherry. The Inheritance By BENJAMIN WASSERMAN £N his sick chamber lay Thomas Carl- ton Sheridan, the well known mining promoter, assayer and millionaire. Al- though he was sick in body, he was as active as usual in mind. His massive brow was lined with small wrinkles, always present when he was deeply engrossed in thought. At length, after a half hour of mental argumentation he decided on the thing to be done. Mr. Wallman, Sheridan's attorney, was summoned. Не was an alert, business- like man of twenty-eight. After a curt greeting Mr. Sheridan immediately brought up the subject that had been uppermost in his mind. “Mr. Wallman, you know that I had two broth- ers, one of whom ran away from home at the age of eighteen, while the other married against my fath- er's wishes. Т� е first, James, has not been heard of since he left home, some thirty years ago. Henry, the second brother, became father of a son. This Henry was always a rolling stone. I kept track of him until about four years ago, and now I am abso- lutely in the dark concerning his whereabouts. This testament that I give bears directly upon these two brothers. Не handed Mr. Wallman a sealed enve- lope, and Mr. Wallman departed with the precious document. As the attorney left a sudden fit of coughing siezed Mr. Sheridan, and he began to writhe in agony. The doctor was again summoned. Upon examination of the patient, he pensively shook his head and looked very grave. He remarked to the nurse that the millionaire was on the verge of death. That night, at twelve o'clock, the popular Thomas Charlton Sheridan breathed his last. 14 Upon the day of Mr. Sheridan's burial, Mr. Hanks, a medium sized, bow-legged, muscular armed individual, paced the length of his room in the Rocky Mountain Hotel, Denver. His hands clutched a cur- rent His shiftless, watery, red-rimmed eyes read again and again an announcement pertain- ing to the death of a Mr. T. C. Sheridan. This Mr. Hanks had known Mr. Sheridan some years before, and was acquainted with the story of his early life. His small, closely set eyes betokened meanness. Не had decided to present himself as the late Mr. Sheridan's lost brother, James. Аз soon as he could gain possession of the property and money left to James, he would hasten to France to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. Ihe time for the reading of the millionaire's will was at hand. А crowd collected, consisting of re- porters, friends of the deceased, and interested Den- ver people. Amid a hushed silence the attorney cleared his throat, tore open the envelope and un- folded a neatly written manuscript, reading as follows: “|. $10,000 to be divided among several friends and servants. (Their names.) 2. $500,000 to be distributed for charity, hos- pitals and societies. “3. $1,000,000 to be used in constructing a pub- lic library and adjoining park, bearing his own name. “4. $4,000,000 to be divided equally between the brothers James and Henry, or their heirs, if de- manded one month after initial reading of will. Mr. Hanks was among those present when the will was read. Не advanced toward the larger law- ver and insinuated that he was the brother, James. The lawyers bade him call one month from date to newspaper. see whether his claim would be disputed ог not. 1 he larger part of the crowd immediately surged out of the room. Having learned of the whereabouts of Charles Sheridan, son of Henry Sheridan and only surviving heir to the Sheridan fortune, Hanks boarded a train bound for Cleveland. While on the train he laid his campaign of action. On leaving the train and board- ing a car marked Centerville, he soon picked up an acquaintance with an elderly man, a resident of Centerville. Through clever questioning and without arousing any suspicion in the mind of his fellow pas- senger, Mr. Hanks succeeded in obtaining facts that Frank Skeridan, aged about twenty-five, has been working as an accountant in the Centerville Commer- cial Bank for the last two years, and that he was an orphan. Mr. Hanks thanked his companion, left the car, and after walking about a mile or so found him- self in front of the main hotel in Centerville. Не immediately rented a room there. His baggage con- sisted of only a valise. That evening young Sheridan had a visitor, a Mr. Huntley, who was really Hanks. He represented himself as one of the secret partners of a noted mer- cantile firm. Не had been looking up Charles’ record, for he was in search of a young man whom he could implicitly trust to go to a certain city in Argentina and find out the prevailing conditiozs there. А com- peting firm intended to open up a large business there, and Huntley's firm wanted to get in ahead of them. Не himself could not go just now for he was bur- dened with business. He would give Charles $250 a month, for three months, besides totally defraying all his expenses. The youth readily consented, for here would be a good opportunity to see something of South America. Charles obtained a three months leave of absence from his employer. Не was fur- nished with a ticket for the steamer Omaha, which would take him to his intended destination. Не was to sail two days from date. This was Thursday. As Charles entered the “Omaha” he reached into his inside coat pocket for his ticket to hand to the ticket-taker. It was not there! А hurried search failed to reveal it. He seemed to remember leaving it at the hotel at which he had boarded during the last two days. Snatching up his grip, he bounded off the gang plank and dashed for the hotel, which was but a few blocks distant. Once there he obtained the key to his room and taking the stairs three at a time was soon looking for his ticket in the recently occupied rooms. In vain. Charles was nonplussed. The steamer would leave in about three minutes. Не opened his valise, went through his clothing, but of no avail. Не had taken several books along, and began to hunt through the leaves of these books. Between two pages of the last book, sure enough there was the missing member. Clutching the ticket in one hand and his grip in the other he wildly dashed for the boat. There was a strong wind blowing, and zip, He did not heed и. He flew towards the boat. Turning a corner he went pell- mell into a plump individual. The impetus caused him to fall backward. The grip went flying, but quick as a flash he was off without it, retaining, however. the ticket in a desperate clutch. Panting like a race horse he darted for the now near dock. То his intense dismay the steamer had already started, and was about fifteen feet from the dock. Charles sank to the ground. His hard run, collision with the obese person, and his disappointment had all but finished him. After resting for about a quarter of an hour he recovered and disappointedly turned his weary steps hotelward. He wondered what Huntley would say. On the way he bought a newspaper and to his amaze- ment his eyes caught the announcement that his uncle had died and left the bulk of his fortune to him. To make sure, he read and reread this announcement. He had formed an unaccountable distrust for Hunt- ley, and now it immediately occurred to him that Huntley might be wanting to get him out of the way so that he might in some manner get hold of some of the money left by Sheridan. On that account he decided to keep out of sight until the time appointed for the dividing of the fortune, and leave Huntley under the impression that he had sailed for South America on the steamer Omaha. The time for the division of the fortune was at hand. Charles, as the rightful heir, boldly stepped up to the lawyer and claimed his share of the fortune. Hanks started up from his chair, his mouth wide open, and his eyes actually bulging out of his head. His usually florid face turned white, and he sank into his chair, limp as a rag. No wonder he was so dis- conserted, for to the best of his knowledge Charles ought to be at the present moment in South America, and here he was and with him all hopes of acquiring a vast amount of filthy lucre were swept away. “Не is an imposter,” cried Hanks. “I am James Sheridan, and he is trying to impose upon you.” Quickly Charles retorted: “If he claims to be the brother of Mr. Sheridan he will surely be able to tell us on what shoulder his dead brother bore a scar.” Not daring to hesitate that worthy remarked: “Не bears a scar on his left shoulder.” That's not so, he has a scar on his scalp which he received in his boyhood days. Charles had remem- bered having heard his father tell of it. The corpse was unearthed and Charles’ statement was reiterated. As conclusive proof, young Sheri- dan presented Mr. Sloan, the president of the Center- ville Bank, and a well-known personage, to Mr. Wallman. Mr. Sloan told that Charles’ father was no other than Henry Sheridan, a friend of his, during the latter’s lifetime. Without further ado Hanks was arrested on the charge of fraud. His trial was short and the outcome was a five-year term in State's Prison. Meanwhile, Charles came into his own. off went his hat.

Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much. Central Service Club (7, 8), Mathematics Club (7, 8), W: ЖЕ, 03, 4], Ball is another of those fellows about whom there is not much to say.

Prospects: Normal School. Silence is golden. And so is Grace’s hair. Grace has been so quiet and reserved that she has not given us much of a chance to know her well.

(5, 6, 7, 8), Dante Literary Society (8), President (8), W. W. (8). Ralph was not very active in school affairs until he sprang into prominence as president of the Dante Literary Society.

Nothing would suit us more than to see you holding down the position, Jeanette. 23 PASQUALINO, CORBO, 125 Newark Street General. Prospects: Law. Corbo is one of those quiet, unassuming fellows whom every one likes. This is shown by his election to the G. O.

You have but to gaze at the list of activities to realize what a task writing up Sy is. The trouble is to know where to begin. First of all comes his dramatic ability, for he has taken part in the ma- jority of the plays given in the school. Then we could go on about his: school spirit, etc., to say noth- ing about his charming personality. Englander is to be congratulated upon his splendid record. EPSTEIN, HAROLD, 109 Barclay Street 3 year student. General. Prospects: University of Wisconsin. “Attend no auctions if thou hast no money.” Math. Club (8), W. W. (8). It behooves the writer to excuse Epstein for his seeming lack of school spirit. He has had to work after school until this, his final term in Central. Меуег- theless, Harold, despite his handicaps, has succeeded in having his name added to the honorable three-year list. Fast, МОЕ, 11 Monmouth Street General German. Prospects: N. Y.

(6, 7, 8), Webster-Hayne (7. 8). We are led to believe that, because Isabel takes so much time to get such good marks, she cannot take part in the various clubs.

Prospects: Stevens. “Раши heart ne'er won fair lady. Fred is rather quiet and reserved, but those who know him well realize what a fine fellow he is.

Prospects: Normal School. “No torment is so bad as love. Girls’ Service Club (7, 8). Marjory will tell you she is going to be a teacher, but we have our doubts. Her hobby is telling Mr. Sinclair what she knows about chemistry. Usually he is little enlightened. O’Connor, LUCILLE, 557 Central Avenue Secretary of the Class General Latin. Prospects: Normal.

She and Marie have led a twin life while at Central. Lu will be greatly missed, as she is an active member of most every club of the school, and has Feld office in most of them at one time or another. Her long list of a ctivities show that she has worked zealously to make her school a leader in all things. OERKWITZ, REU, 28 Grant Street Commercial German. Prospects: Business. “Still waters run deep.” Reu is of the studious, retiring type. We give her credit for her great knowledge of books, but we wish she had been more like one of us. PETOSA, RAPHAEL, 88 Ridge Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. A singing smile and a sunny voice.” Glee Club (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), Dante Literary So- ciety (8), W. W. (8). Petosa is a good-natured sort of fellow, who adds life to any company he may be in. His good quality will at least kelp him to win success in the business which he undertakes. PoLLAK, HENRY, 327 Belmont Avenue General German. Prospects: Phila. Dental College. “Better late than never.” Pollack has joined our class, coming from East Side. The ability he has shown in the short time he has been here makes us regret not having his com- pany sooner. REICH, JEANETTE, 818 South Fifteenth Street General German. Prospects: Normal School. “Slow but sure.” Barnstomers (6, 7, 8), Girls’ A. A. (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Jen believes in doing a few things slowly but well.

Basketball (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Central Service Club (7, 8), Pivor (7, 8), W. W. (7, 8), Cross- Country Team (8), SENIOR Pivot, (8), Mathe- matics Club (8). Mike has done so much along the lines of ath- letics that he has grown thin worrying about it. He has starred on many teams, and this, coupled with his good humor, has made him popular with his class- mates. ROTONDA, ANNA, 94 Norfolk Street General German.

Не is a willing worker, however, and we prophesy success for him in college. SIEGELSON, CHARLES, 40 Barclay Street Commercial German. Prospects: М. Y. U. Actions speak louder than words. We know that Charles is a worker and that he is also greatly interested in politics. We believe that some day he will be connected with Tammany. SILVERMAN, MEYER, 117 Barclay Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. Be in the habit of receiving every man with a pleas- ant countenance.” Math. Club (8), W. W. (8), Basketball (4, 6).

Prospects: University of Michigan. “Anger profiteth nobody. Mathematics Club (5, 6). | Sam is so reserved and quiet that few in the class know him, and fewer know him well. He is a good fellow though, and capable. The fact that he has finished High School in three years is proof of that fact. SAVAGE, HOWARD, 131 South Ninth Street Commercial. Prospects: Music. Judge a man by his deeds, not by his words. Glee Club (3, 4, 5), Concert (3), Minstrel (4), Orchestra (3, 5, 7, 8), Mandolin Club (3, 4, 5, 6). Savage is music, music through and through.

SCHNIEDER, ЕММА, 423 Bergen Street Commercial Course. Prospects: Music. Maiden fair of face. Girls’ Service Club (6, 7, 8).

Sara has the reputation of introducing all the latest in fashions and being th e authority on all questions of dress. She has become known as “Vanity Fair. Besides this Sara has a long list of activities which speak well for her. STREETER, CLIFFORD ALLAN, 146 Hillside Avenue Commercial Course. Prospects: Business. My tongue within my lips I reign. Technical Club (6, 7, 8), Tennis Team (7), Tennis Club (6, 7, 8), Rifle Team (7), Basket- ball Team (6, 7). One of the shy and silent fellows of our class is Cliff.

Dot is one of the cutest girls in the class. She has won the honor of completing the course in three and one-half years, but we would not call her a grind. She is always merry and full of fun. SEIBERT, MARGARET, 103 North Seventh Street General. Prospects: Normal. “Conspicuous by her absence. Especially at class meetings.

President Class (5), Treasurer Class (7), Cen- tral Service Club (5, 6, 7, 8), President Camera Club (8), Webster-Hayne (7, 8), White Minstrels (4), Executive Committee G. O. Stelle is popular with the fair sex, probably because of his terpsichorean ability. Не is quite a manager, being chairman of the committees of several successful sociables. 42 VANDERVOORT, WARREN J. 167 S. Eleventh St. General Latin. Prospects: Law School. “The Muse called Genius claimed him for her own. Scholarship Prize (7), Editor-in-Chief of Prvot (7), Pivor (3, 4, 5), Central Hand Book Staff (7), Central Service Club (7).

Prospects: Business. “As a tree is known Бу its fruit, so man by his works. W. W. (8), Math. Ciub (8), PıvoT (8), Senior Pivot (8), Basketball Second Team (6. 7). Ben is always ready to lend a helping hand to any of the teachers or his fellow students. We have had him do some typewriting for us, and have witnessed the support he gives his teachers. He also writes stories, but this is nothing against him. WEICH, HERBERT, 89 Baldwin Street General. Weich has been quite inactive, but in the past term surprised his friends by going out for the football team. Although we do not know what Weich is going to be, he would be a success in the after part of a flesh medicine. WALLING, GLORIA, 8 Elm Street General. Prospects: Normal. “Dignity does not consist in a silk dress.” Girls’ Service Club (7, 8), President (8), Web- ster-Hayne (8), Girls’ A. А. (8), Camera Club (7, 8). Gloria is neat and plain.

(6, 7, 8), Webster-Hayne (6, 7, 8), What Happened to Jones (5), She Stoops to Conquer (7), Pivor (8), Girls’ Service Club (7, 8) It would take more than a few lines to tell of Anna's school spirit and her wonderful work for th« class and for the school. She has gained great fame in dramatics, but still greater credit goes to Anna as one who entirely forgets herself in order to work for the good of others. We will always remember Anna for that. WHEELWRIGHT, CORA J., 318 S. Nineteenth St. 314 year student. Commercial. Prospects: Undecided. [o accept excuse shows a good disposition.

Frank appears to have confined his efforts to ath- letics, but since he has achieved such a fine record in that line, we feel he should be pardoned for slighting other activities. He is exceedinly popular, especially with the fair sex. WALSH, JosEPH R., 120 South Eleventh Street Technical. Prospects: Stevens. He is as clay in her hands. Secretary, Technical Club (8), Assistant Man- ager Football Team (8). Walsh has a fine record in the technical line and will surely be successful in his chosen profession.

Rose has been at Dr. Savage's school this semester, but her diploma will be awarded to her in January. She has had to pass bookkeeping before gaining that coveted piece of parchment.

His work in the athletic line, however, has been commendable. We are sorry to state, that, due to an oversight, Mabel E. Warfield's first name is “Joseph” in this book.

JAN. 716 ACTORS CENTRAL'S BEST. Our class has among its number the best actors by whom Central has ever had the pleasure of being entertained. When they leave, the cause of amateur dramatics will receive the severest blow any graduat- ing class ever dealt и. We almost wonder if the Barnstormers will be able to produce their annual play in the spring, for these same students of our class are also the officers and most important members of the club. Perhaps the Barnstormers will exist, perhaps they will also get new actors who will star; but it is doubtful if they will ever again be able to boast of having at any one time so many good per- formers as in the group now graduating. Our stellar actor is Simon Englander. This thriller of audiences has been a prominent figure in school dra- matics probably since his very first day in Central. He has performed in no less than five plays, namely, Caste, “А Scrap of Paper, What Happened to Jones, Dir Wie Mir and The Rivals ; and in most of them he has carried the leading part. This is a record that will hardly be equalled. Sy has been twice president of the Barnstormers, has held other important positions and has always been a lead- ing figure in the club's activities. Next comes Anna Weinberg, the charming heroine of She Stoops to Conquer, who has also entranced the followers of school dramatics with her realistic portrayal of characters і� “А Scrap of Paper” and What Happened to Jones. Anna is vice-president of the Barnstormers. Then we have Herbert R. Abeles, who made a hit as Squire Hardcastle in “� е Stoops to Conquer. Abraham Frank and Albert Kaplansky are more of our notable actors who helped to make the latest production of the Barnstormers, She Stoops to Conquer, the greatest triumph of the school’s dramatics, as all conceded it to be. There are other Seniors among the Barnstormers who have helped in the business end of plays and in the work of the club. These are Marie Bleiel, sec- retary; Max Kiselik and Louis Glucksman. 0 7”, d NP С: АЕ Ye De We МЗ OUR “PROM.” Time—May of were Senior Bs. Place-—Our which was most beautifully decorated in crimson and white, our class colors. The Girls— There were plenty of girls. Indeed. there was one for each and every one of the plenty of boys present. And all this contributed to the success of the Prom given by us in honor of the Senior A's. It was just about eight o'clock when the music, the very best music, struck up Из first tune, inspiring every one present with the blissful idea that it was time to dance. From then on, throughout the entire evening, dancing occupied the thoughts of everyone. 1915, when we, of Sweet '16, gym, | However, there was а short intermission, not а� ordinary interruption, though, in order to give the musicians time to breathe. No; we didn't even notice that, for it was then that all fair creatures and hand- some admirers were served with no less than some of Nectar's sup and angel cake. But even this was cast aside to enjoy fully the best represented talent of the school. Irving Stelle sang for us, as did our School Quartette, consisting. of Howard Savage, Peter DeLuca, Albert Kaplansky and Irving Stelle. Phyllis Beach did a toe dance, which was followed by an aesthetic dance by Frances Mahan. And the Senior A's enjoyed it all, for, to quote any one of them at eleven-thirty that same evening, it was, Really, I never had such a marvelous time ш my life. The committee, chosen by President Abeles, con- sisted of Irving Stelle, chairman; Max Kiselik, Anna Weinberg, Louis Glucksman, Gladys Chapman, Ethel Clemmons and Frances Mahan. January, 1916, is represented in the orchestra by Herbert R. Abeles, Ethel Clemmons, Howard Savage and Dave Miller. Incidentally, Abeles is president of the organization. SENIORS FACTOR IN С. 5. С. We Seniors look with great pride upon the work of those members of our class who belong to the Central Service Club. This is no ordinary club. It is not, like the rest of the school's organizations, founded by students solely for the good or for the pleasure which they can derive from it. It is a club whose members get no personal benefit but devote themselves unselfishly to the service of the school, giving their time and labor to promote its interests. Since its organization the Central Service Club has eliminated many evils and brought about many improvements in the equipment and appearance of the school and in tke general welfare of the students. Wherever one turns in the building one can find evidences of the club's work. Its record is a wonderful one, and when we look back upon the vital part our class has played in this work we are filled with justifiable pride. Membership in the club is not open to the students merely by application. ‘The club elects into its ranks those of the student body who show by many activi- ties and by their general conduct that they are true- blue Centralites who have the interests of the school at heart. For a class to have many members in the Central Service Club is in itself enough to brag about, because it shows that the class has been prominent in school affairs and has shown school spirit. Not only have we thirteen members in the Central Service Club, but they are the most active and leading figures in the club. The two positions of greatest importance and re- sponsibility are held by Seniors. Herbert К. Abeles is the president. In his long membership in the Central Service Club he has also been secretary and has served on many important committees. Т� е vice-president is Abraham Frank, who likewise has been active in the club for several terms. Other Seniors of long standing and importance are Frank Gill, Simon Eng- lander, Irving Stelle, Frank Vehslage а� а Norman Gardner, and Albert Kaplansky, Michael Rickles, Charles Colpe, Harold Avidan, Louis Glucksman and Sam Ball are the rest of the Seniors who have deserved membership in the Central Service Club and have acquitted themselves with honor. SENIOR A TYPISTS. The typewriting students who have succeeded in writing forty words or more per minute are Emma Schneider, Tillie Sommer, Catherine Leahy, Gussie Fskowitz, Frank Gill, Edith Mendelsohn, Dorothy Trachtenburg and Jeanette Cone. Miss Sommer has done more than sixty words per minute many times. All those who are named above have been awarded Underwood Speed Certificates, the required speed be- ing forty words per minute for ten minutes. 51 GIRLS’ SERVICE CLUB. Ihe Girls’ Service Club will feel the loss of the Seniors perhaps more than any other club of the school. Not only are all of the officers—Gloria Wal- ling, Ethel Clemens, Marie Bleiel and Lucille O’Con- � ог—вошр to graduate, but many of the most active members, those who always have the interest of Cen- tral at heart, are also going to be missed at the roll call. Frances Mahan, Anna Weinberg, Elizabeth Morchower, Luella Nothstein, Marjory Oakley, Anna Rotonda, Mary Adubato and Dorothy Whitta- ker will soon leave the school and at the same time they will leave a gap in the Service Club which will be difficult to fill. This term the club has done much good work, not the least of which was to institute Freshman Day. | Бе Freshmen who have in previous years felt so strange in a new school have been made to feel at home in Central through the efforts of the G. S. C. Marie Bleiel, Frances Mahan, Anna Weinberg and Lucille O'Connor were the Seniors who aided to make this affair a success. Jut on leaving we have the assurance that the underclassmen will continue the good work and strive always to serve Central. ENTIRE MATH. CLUB SENIORS. To name the Seniors who belong to the Mathe- matics Club is like calling the roll. No less than twenty-one of those who meet every week in “Ye Olde 212 to solve solid geometry and plain trig- onometry problems are members of our class. They hold all of the offices and important positions; they win all of the checkers and chess championships. In fact, there is nothing to the club but Seniors. We could tell you a lot about what they have done in this club, but there is no space. The rest of this article must be devoted to naming these Seniors who have prepared themselves through membership in the Mathematics Club to outdo Newton, Euclid and the гез! of the world's greatest mathematicians. The president of the club is Louis Glucksman, the vice-president Dave Miller and the secretary Sam Gordon. Warren J. Vandervoort, Herbert В. Abeles, Michael Rickles are illustrious names in this roll of mathematicians. Other members are Sam Ball, Gordon Cryer, Moe Fast, WalterAWashburn, Bar- ney Ruderman, Benjamin Wasserman, Meyer Silver- man, Saul Lewandorf, Harold Epstein, Charles Siegelson, Isadore Wolper and Sam Soschin. АП are good checker and chess players.

SENIORS ACTIVE IN TECH. CLUB. Five of our classmates are members of the Tech- nical Club. This is not a bad showing because the 1 echnical Club has а limited membership owing to the fact that the school allows them only a certain number to take along on their tours of inspection through the shops of tke city. Those Seniors who are in the club have made their presence felt, and the club will miss them when they leave. Joseph R. Walsh is the secretary-treasurer of the club; W. Elwood Rossnagel is the chairman of the committee that arranges the trips. He is also the historian and keeps the records of interesting things seen. Clifford А. Streeter is the club stenographer and an active member. Herbert Weich and Charles Colpe are two others who have done much to make the Technical Club one of the most important clubs in the school. MANY SENIORS BELONG TO GIRLS’ A. A. After several terms of inactivity the Girls’ A. A. has again come to the fore and has had a successful term. Hannah Deutsch, as vice-president, has done much to keep the club going and to interest the under- classmen. When the Seniors leave the A. A. will lose Hannah and a number of girls who have done much for the club. Fanny Reisberg, Frances Mahan and Gloria Walling have worked faithfully to make the joint sociable gıven by the G. A. A. and the Girls’ Service Club. Bertha Loebel, Anna Rotonda, Marie Bleiel, Anna Weinberg and Lucille O'Connor have also worked faithfully to make girls’ athletics prominent. club. That list comprises the Seniors of the SENIOR TECHNICAL STUDENTS DO GOOD WORK. Sara Steinberg has made a very attractive after- noon dress of dark blue chiffon taffeta. The skirt is very full and is wired on the bottom so as to flare piquantly. The waist of the skirt is gathered with fine shirrings and has an overskirt in bustle form. The waist itself is simple and has for its only ornament some pretty decorative buttons. [he dress presents a very pleasing and quaint, old-fashioned appearance. Sara is certainly to be commended for her good work. Bertha Loebel is another girl of January '16 who is doing good work in the sewing department. Her dress is of soft tan silk pongee with a skirt such as Dame Fashion decrees. The waist, an Eton jacket eect, is hemstitched around the neck and sleeves and has a pretty hemstitched firill around the waist. In the back of the dress a fancy slot-seam extends from the neck to the hem. Fancy buttons embroidered by hand in old blue, old rose and green add a pleasing touch of color. A soft girdle of green ribbon finished the dress. It would cost quite a number of good dollars if bought ready-made. Cora Wheelw right 18 making her graduation dress. It is a dainty affair of white crepe de chine and soft The skirt а short peplum and is bobbin-net. has gathered finely at the waist line, while the waist is simple and is trimmed with bobbin-net and a beautiful fichu of lace. To be able to make one's graduation dress is indeed an accomplishment to be proud of, and Cora surely should be proud of her dress and the splendid work she has put on it. The millinery department has not been neglected by lillie Sommer, who has made an exceedingly be coming and smart poke bonnet of black silk velvet. The brim of the hat is perfectly smooth and the workmanship on it would do credit to a professional. Even the lining of black taffeta is prettily finished with numerous rows of small shirrings. А pompom of fox fur on top of the crown completes the very stunning hat. Elwood Rosnagel is going to leave Central this term, after bringing many an honor to this school for the exceptionally clever work he has done. Elwood has been taking a technical course in this school and his record has certainly lived up to what Central stands for. A clipping from a local newspaper reads as fol- lows: “А remarkable drawing has just been com- pleted by W. E. Rosnagel of Central High School. It shows the interior of a railroad shop, with a loco- motive suspended on a crane, and is drawn in per- This drawing has been pronounced an extra- ordinary piece of work by a number of expert engi- This article speaks for itself. Here is a list of the things Rosnagel did in Cen- tral during his Senior year: |. He made all the detail drawings and built the drill which is used in the machine shop. 2. Не designed a six-ton hydraulic jack, made the patterns for same, and is now finishing it. 3. He made over a dozen drawings of modern locomotives recently. Among these are a 199-ton Pennsylvania engine, а 138! -1о� Lackawanna, and а 422V -ton Erie engine. 4. Не made a cabinet now used for the school doctor's instruments. This is certainly a splendid start. work up, Rosnagel. Abe Frank, another member of the Class of Jan- uary, 1916, has also accomplished good results in technical lines. Frank is responsible for some of the drawings that have been on exhibition in the Mechan- ical Drawing Department. His shop instructors tell us that his work has always been very accurate and always exceeded the average. Good work, Frank. Herbert Weich and Frank Vehslage are two more Seniors that deserve to be commended for the good work they have accomplished in the Mechanical De- partments. They have been a credit to Central and it is hoped that they will continue the good work they have been doing. 1 he top crown is soft and is gathered. specti ve. neers.” Keep your good Something About Our Athletes Ethel Clemmens—Ethel Clemmens is without doubt one of the best girl athletes in this vicinity. She is an excellent basketball player, as many will testify, and has been captain of the Girls’ Varsity Team, in which she won an emblem. That her ability at bas- ketball playing has been recognized is shown by the fact that she was a coach of the First Presbyterian Church Basketball Team. Besides playing basket- ball, Ethel is a very good baseball pitcher and runner. Tennis and hockey playing are her other athletic ac- complishments. There is hardly a line of athletics that Ethel has not participated in. We are all glad to have with us a girl that has done so much for Cen- tral in athletics. Corrileazer Cobb—Corrileazer Cobb is also a very good girl athlete. She has demonstrated her ability at basketball playing many times and has always proved a source of trouble to opposing teams. Corrileazer is an excellent baseball player and a fine runner. We cannot help thanking her for all she has done for Central in athletic lines. Jeanette Cone—Jeanette Cone is another girl of the Class of January 16 who has taken an active and enthusiastic part in athletics. She belonged to the girls’ special apparatus and dancing classes that were once held in Central, and is wel] known for her good basketball playing. Jeanette has participated in track athletics and gymnastics and has taken note- worthy parts in several exhibits given by Central in the Armory and the gym. If ever in doubt as to where to find Jeanette, just look in the gym, and nine times out of ten you will see her there busily engaged in some kind of athletic occupation. Hannah Deutsch—Hannah Deutsch is one of Cen- tral’s best and most earnest workers for girls’ athletics. Ever since she came here she has taken a part in athletics and has made a fine record for herself. She has succeeded in obtaining an emblem for basketball playing on the Girls’ Varsity Team and has proved herself very adept in baseball playing. Hannah, or Dutch, as she is commonly called, has often demon- strated her ability at running. She intends to become a gym teacher and we are sure that if she continues her fine work she will prove a great success at it. Bertha Loebel—Bertha Loebel is another girl ath- lete that deserves to be mentioned. She has been a member of the basketball and baseball teams and has acquitted herself excellently on each. Bertha also belonged to the special apparatus and dancing classes once conducted under Miss Dobbins’ supervision. She, too, has successfully taken part in the dancing and gymnastic exhibits given by Central in the gym and Armory. Hockey and tennis playing form addi- tions to Bertha’s athletic accomplishments. « Frances Mahan—Frances Mahan has done much in the line of girls’ athletics, but has particularly excelled in dancing, in which she is very proficient. She entertained many of us at the Shubert Theater last winter with her graceful solo dances, and even acted as dancing instructor in the school playgrounds this past summer. That she was a success at this can be proved by the great number of admirers she has made by it. Altogether, Frances is a fine little all-round athlete that not only takes part in athletics herself, but does a great deal to get other girls in the school inerested in girls’ sports. Mabel Warfield—Mabel Warfield, a new-comer at Central, has already made her presence felt in our girls’ athletic circles. She is one of the most versa- tile of our girl athletes, but has particularly excelled in basketball. Baseball, hockey and tennis playing are other forms of her athletic activities. Last, but not least, comes Mabel's dancing, at which she is very skillful. То have been able to make one's self felt in Central’s athletic circles after but a short stay here, does certainly speak well of Mabel's “get-to-it- iveness. Fannie Reisberg—A girl athlete of much promise is Fannie Reisberg. Her chief pastime is playing basketball, although she is adept in other sports. 53 Syd Safier—Ladies and gentlemen, we beg leave to present to you our most versatile athlete, Chink Safer. During his career in Central, Syd has participated in every major sport, with the excep- tion of track. He has won emblems on the gridiron, diamond and basketball court, and has been a shining, scintillating star in every one of these lines. As quarterback on the football teams of 1914 and 1915 he has proved to be one of the best in the city and would have probably made the City Team were it not for the fact that he was declared ineligible in mid- season. Аз shortstop on the varsity nine Syd was considered a steady player and a fine hitter. On the 1914 team he starred often and was easily the most consistent fielder. “Chink” is also somewhat of а pitcher and he would have probably been seen on the mound last season were it not for the eligibility rules which prevented him from playing. Safier was also a member of our City Championship Basketball Quintet of 1914-15. Не was reputed to be the best running guard in the league. Не expects to enter Savage's Training School, where he will no doubt continue his athletic activities. Abe Frank—Frank is one of our football players, having been a member of last year's second team and this year’s varsity. He is a steady player and is very reliable. Не is especially adept at nabbing forward passes and can be depended on to go through the line for a gain. Abe is a hard worker and keeps plugging away at a thing until he knows it well. His knowledge of forward passes can be largely attributed to his plugging ability. Frank is also somewhat of a high jumper, having competed in the fall meet last year and captured a place. He expects to continue his athletics in college. Albert Kaplansky—‘‘Kap” is another football player who has seen service on our team for two sea- sons. He is a bear for work and aided the team greatly, both on the offense and defense. Last year he played on the second team and did some fine work. This year he made the first team, but had to give up the sport owing to parental objections. The team lost a good man in Kaplansky and he would have probably helped it out a whole lot. Al is also a tennis player of no mean ability. His work last sea- son as a member of the Tennis Club was of high grade. Norman Gardner—During the present football season Gardner has played a mighty fine game at fullback and were it not for ineligibility rules he would probably have made the city team. Norman has played on the team for two seasons and his work during that time has always been up to the mark. Gardner does not confine himself to football, as he is also a track man, having won his emblem as a mem- Бег of the track team a few seasons ago. Не сот- peted in several quarter-mile races and gave a good account of himself. He is also something of a sharp- shooter, as his ability with the rifle is above the ordi- nary. Football, however, seems to be his hobby and he is paying more attention to that sport than to any other. Frank Vehslage—Another track man who made good on the gridiron is our versatile star, Frank Vehs- lage. As a member of the track team not long ago he showed the various speed merchants from other schools that he knew how to run by beating them in many a quarter-mile affair. But running did not seem to agree with him as well as it might and he took to football. Here he has more than made good, as his work on the gridiron this fall will testify. He has filled in at quarterback and halfback and his playing has always been of high order. Не is quite adept at picking up fumbles and is also a fine open field runner and a sure ground gainer. Frank will very likely make good in athletics at college. Charles Colpe—Charlie is a quiet, unassuming fel- low who never goes around boasting of his deeds in the athletic line. However, he has done his share to boost the school in athletics, as he was a member of the track team a few seasons ago. His specialty was the high jump, and he invariably managed to score a few points for the team whenever he com- peted. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Anderson, Charlie developed quickly and became one of our best junior high jumpers. The reason Colpe has not competed in the various meets lately is that he gave up the sport to attend more closely to his lessons and his drawing. Benjamin Wasserman—Did you notice a tall, lanky fellow hopping around in the gym during the basketball season of 1914-15? Well, that was Big Ben Wasserman, who, after a strenuous fight, was successful in making the second team, acting in the capacity of center and forward. His playing during the season was good enough to earn for him a second team emblem. His rapid development in the fine points of the game would have assured him of a first team berth this year. However, the abolishment of basketball as an interscholastic sport has blasted his hopes, but his practice at the playgrounds this summer will not go to waste, as he expects to shine in the coming interclass league. He will undoubtedly be one of the Senior quintet and will likely serve as a center. Wasserman also tried out for the cross-coun- try team, but failed to make a place. Saul Lewandorf—Lewandorf has not been in the athletic limelight for the last semester, as he has decided to give up his athletic activities until he’s out of high school. However, he did shine out a few sea- sons ago as a member of our second basketball team, where he starred in many games. Later Lewandorf went to South Side, where he captained the varsity basketball team and played forward. On returning to Central he went out for the varsity team in 1914 and made it, but met with a series of misfortunes which forced him to give up the sport. This year Lewandorf will play with the Senior quintet in the ( lass League and he expects back.

Stephen Lewis—Stephen Lewis, one of the main- stays of Central's tennis team, is about to leave us with the Class of January, 1916. Much credit is due to rendered while representing Central on the tennis court. He has al- ways played a slow but steady game, and is without Steve for his services doubt one of our best men. To his credit goes the art of outguessing his opponent. abled him on many occasions to gradually pull out of tight places. Besides frequently demonstrating his skill in singles, Steve has also done exceptionally good work in doubles. He and Albert Kaplansky usually One thing may be said about these two [his power has en- matched up fellows, and that is that they are a pretty hard com- bination to beat. Clifford Streeter creditable Clifford Streeter has also done Central He mem- ber of the tennis team and did well on it, usually representing the school in double matches and team- ing with either Hoenig or with Starr, both of whom have graduated. Clifford also showed the proper spirit by making a bid for the 1914 basketball team. He played with the seconds and distinguished him- self on more than one occasion. work for was a George hitchie—George Ritchie, or “Ви,” as commonly called, is brightest and most conspicuous stars in Central's constellation. It would be very much easier to tell about Ritchie's athletic activities by telling of the things in which he did not participate rather than all he did take part in, for there is hardly a line of athletics in which he has not taken an active part. We all know that Bub has been playing end on the football team for three consecutive years, and is doing better in that capacity than any man who has ever represented Central. It is exceedingly unfortunate, however, that Bub could not finish this season be- cause of the injuries obtained in a game early this term. Besides playing football, Bub has in his possession a few medals which he has won for jump- ing and running. Bub has proved that he is not only a good athlete but a good manager, for he very successfully managed the baseball team of 1913. Central is surely sorry to see Ritchie go, for his fine work will certainly be missed. Michael Richles—Michael Rickles, or Mike, has for two represented Central on the basketball teams, and is one of Central's most irdent athletic supporters. After his graduation from Central he will leave a gap which will not be easily filled. Besides playing Basketball, Rickles surprised all of his friends by making a position on our crack cross-country team, which has brought to Central the City Championship and a number of other trophies. Rickles is an excellent example of Coach Anderson's he is one of the thos seasons handiwork, for he never competed in a race prev iously. His absence on both the basketball and cross-country teams will be keenly felt, as he has generally been good for a number of points whenever he participated in a contest. We certainly should tip our hats to Mike for his perseverance and pluck in sticking to the different teams until he made good.

How Joe Hardie Got a Good Position Over in New York City, in the big office of Harper's Weekly, you will find a bright-faced young man sitting on the executive side of a big desk. If you observed him for an hour or so you would possibly see him turn at intervals from a pile of important letters and spend a few minutes at a little machine that sits constantly at his side. The young man is Joe J. Hardie and the machine is the Stenotype. Because he knew how to operate the Stenotype, Hardie got his first position in the big Harper organization. For be it known that Harper’s Weekly, like many other big concerns. now employ only opera- tors of the Stenotype for their high-class stenographic positions. One day, after Hardie had shown Harper’s that he had brains as well as ability to take and transcribe dictation, they handed him a bunch of letters and sent around another Stenotypist and told him to dictate the replies. Hardie thanked them for the Stenotypist, but thought she could be of more use to The Stenotype Co., some one else, As for him, he would dictate his own letters on his own machine. And that's another reason that Hardie is so well thought of Бу a big organization where opportunities are sky-high. Joe Hardie says the Stenotype is the foun- dation of his success. It made it possible for him to start right, and is still doing good service in helping him hold down a big job. Stenotypy will do as much for you. Com- bine a knowledge of Stenotypy with your high school education and no business man will зау “Хо” when vou ask for a job.

HERZBERG, WILLIAM Lewin, Literary DANIEL MCMILLIN, Business J. EARL GRIFFITH, Art TO WHOM WE ARE INDEBTED. We, the Class of June, '16, take this opportunity of expressing our sincerest appreciation to those, con- nected with the school, who have most graciously assisted in making our path toward graduation as rosy and as successful as it has been. To Mr. Wiener, the leading engineer of our course through this institution, we humbly bow our heads in reverence. For the favors and kindness bestowed upon us by our home-room teachers, Mr. Conkling, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Telfer and Dr. Knowlton, we express our gratitude. То these members of the fac ultv, Mr. Herzberg, Mr. Lewin, Mr. McMillan, Mr. Smith, Mr. Griffith, Mr. Calman and Mr. Arnao, the advisers and managers of the class and school papers, and of the various class enterprises, we owe manv obligations; also to the kind office assistants and Mr. Tomey. For the rest of the faculty, too numerous to remember individually, we have the very highest regard. We hope that some time in the future we may be would have us accomplish in life. Especially applic- able to the teacher is the saying: “А man's reward is not always what he does himself, but what he causes others to do.” OUR FACULTY ADVISER. To try to express our appreciation and admiration for all the kindness we have received from our faculty adviser, Mr. Paul R. Eldrige, is not an easy thing to do. He has helped us so much that words are not adequate enough in telling how grateful we feel toward him. There is not one person in the class but who volun- tarily suggests his high esteem for Mr. Eldrige when- ever his name is mentioned, for his charming personality and kind, gentlemanly demeanor has won the hearts of all. We shall not soon forget our beloved guide, and we wish to extend our most heartfelt thanks to him before we leave, and to wish him all the success in the world. SENIORS AS OTHERS SEE THEM. Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as others see us! Robt. Burns. It is generally believed, among people outside of school, that high school seniors usually deport them- selves with too much importance, and assume entirely too much authority in the management of the various school functions. But this is not a bad sign. In classrooms, also if seniors take the leading part in arguments and discussions, this merely proves that they have learned to think for themselves. Just the other day a friend of ours, herself a teacher, informed us that when she was our age she acted just as we do now. “You just can't help it, she explained. “Why, some of the most timid and retiring people that I know were once as loud and as boisterous as they could be. However, they recovered from this spell, and are none the worse for having been under it. If outsiders would look upon the matter in the proper spirit many of the prejudices against the fresh- ness of high school and college students would soon disappear. IN SINGULOS DIES. For the benefit of those who are unacquainted with this Latin expression, we announce that the above means “Day by Day.” Brief as it is, this motto is pregnant with meaning. It has been adopted by the senior class because it expresses the only sure method of completing a successful high school career. Let us liken the latter unto a great machine which ta kes four years for construction. Each day’: work contributes a small cog to the machine. If a day be omitted, stress is thrown on the work of the other days and the machine becomes faulty. An accumula- tion of omissions prevents the machine from being completed in the four years. Thus is much time lost which in these days is so valuable. Undergraduates of Central, if our four years of experience in school is of any value to you; if you are willing we should leave a parting thought on your minds, then we can do no better than to advise you to do your work Day by Day. FOR BETTER CLUBS. In Central there are twenty-two organizations, most of which meet once a week and remain in session for a little over an hour. The average number of students active in each of these clubs is about twenty-five. What do the students accomplish at these meetings? Are they recompensed to the extent of the value of the time invested? Instead of getting down to business and carrying out the purposes of the organization, the club members occasionally indulge in frivolity. Ac- cordingly, little is done, although good health results from the enjoyable time. There are several recommendations which we, as experienced seniors, feel ought to be offered to the school. The first and most important is that meetings be held only when the faculty adviser is present. The society of the latter always tends to check any frivolity, and a teacher's cool advice, at various periods, is most necessary for the rendering of proper decisions to settle points in debate. The second suggestion is that no more club work be undertaken than can easily be handled in connection with the regular school work. Let each student join but two clubs. This would enable him to spend more time on these two organiza- tions, with the result that greater work would be accomplished. It is our ardent wish that these important sugges- tions, based upon the experience of four years of high school club life, be seriously considered by the students, in order that they may shape their activities and spend their time to the best possible advantage. Much of the success of this Senior number is due to the untiring efforts of our business manager, Harry Schaub. Harry's executive ability and foresighted- ness has solved many problems resulting from the publication of this large edition. The 4A Class and the Senior Pivot Board unite in expressing their gratitude for Harry’s energetic endeavors. When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property. JUNE 16’S WILL. Know all men by these presents, that we, the Class of June, '16, of the Central High School of the City of Newark, New Jersey, being of sound disposing mind (?) and memory, do hereby make and publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: First. We give and bequeath to the school at large our honorable and beloved principal, Mr. William Wiener, who has been so good and kind to us through all these four years, and has never failed to rescue us from every difficulty which might have hindered our progress upward. Second. We also bequeath another valuable treasure, which we grieve to part from—our kind and learned faculty, they who have striven so faithfully to instill our minds with high ideals and fashion us into the most noble of men and women and citizens of our great country. Third. To the Senior B’s we reluctantly hand over the beautiful bright and airy home rooms, 101 and 110, which have always been our havens of delight and peace. Fourth. Again, to these lucky Senior B's we give the i inspiring authority and privilege of occupying our former reserved seats at morning exercises—the first few rows, just in front of the stage, in the auditorium. Fifth. Since we shall no longer have the oppor- tunity of rising to the higher regions of our former home in the powerful and massive elevator controlled by Mr. Tomey, we give and bequeath the entire use of this conveyance to our happy successors, the Senior B's. Sixth. We bestow upon all concerned our illus- trious school paper and the best magazine in the world, The Pivot, which we hope may live to a good old age. Seventh. We really can’t imagine just how dear old C. H. is going to exist without us, but we extol our successors to do their very best, and we leave them the magnanimous task of managing all activities as well as we did. Eighth. In our absence, we give the Senior B's the most agreeable duty of amusing the school every morning by appearing before it on the platform and exhibiting how speedily and accurately they can induce teeth-chattering and knee-knocking. Ninth. To all those who indulge in foolish errors we bequeath with great pleasure those interesting weeks of detention in 208. Tenth. We give and bequeath to everybody in C. H. S. the little diversion of enjoying occasional teachers’ jokes, especially Professor Webb's, and also Mr. Smith’s aesthetic positions on the rostrum, not mentioning his solos. (Continued on page 55) EL ls 4 = EU i 4 ета ға� а AL Marjorie’s Misadventure [A Central High School Story.] By MARGUERITE WHITE. I warn you, Marjory Page, said her chum, Martha, solemnly, as the two strolled through the cor- ridors of the Central High School one morning en route for a history recitation period, you are labor- ing under a profound delusion.” At this unlooked for statement Marjory's eyes wid- ened in surprise, but she refrained from comment until further details should be forthcoming. “I have a presentiment that something is going to happen, Martha continued with a prophetic air. “I can't explain it, but it exists; and if I were you I'd be most awfully careful. Marjory looked puzzled and a bit annoyed. “1 don't in the least know what you're talking about, she said at length; but you, I suppose, do. Would you mind throwing me a ray of light? I'm quite in the dark.” “Its about Professor Martin,” Martha hastened to explain. Somehow, he gives me an uneasy feel- ing. You know he has been known to do things un- expectedly before, and if he should suddenly pop a test — Martha! Marjory stopped short in sheer horror. “What are you saying? Has he hinted at anything so dreadful? Oh, you surely don't think he would?” Martha nodded her head slowly, evidently. not ill-pleased with the effect her words had produced. He hasn't said anything yet, she admitted reluc- tantly, but I have a sense of impending catastrophe ! Is that all?” and Marjory dropped a sigh of relief. “ОҒ course, I don't want to hurt your feelings, Martha, but I kow what a dreadful pessimist you are. Now, I'm surfe Professor Martin isn't going to be so unfeeling. He has a steady, plodding dis- position that [ particularly admire in a man of his calling. I have great hopes of him, really. She pushed the indignant Martha forward. Let's hurry ; the bell is about to ring. And they crowded in with a bevy ol girls at the door of the classroom. Now, by way of parenthesis, it may be explained that Marjory Page was one of the most popular girls at Central. It was not her fault, as she half laughing protested, but such was the fact. She was literally showered with invitations of all sorts at all times, and while this popularity was no doubt grati- fying to her small vanity, social duties frequently played sad havoc with those of a more serious nature. For some weeks past, owing to the pressure of many interests, Marjory had not been devoting as much time to the study of history as the central author- ities would have deemed needful. However, by a judicious use of the imagination, and a little diplomacy, she had thus far managed to maintain a creditable reputation. Continued success had made her careless, and it was a patronizing little smile that she bestowed upon Martha as the recitation began and proceeded in the usual uneventful fashion. At the close of the hour the blow fell. “То- morrow, Professor Martin remarked casually, we shall have a little test, covering the work we have been over this semester. It will be comprehensive, and I suggest that some careful reviewing will not come amiss. The bell rang, and the class, somewhat dazedly, filed out. A chastened friend awaited Martha in the doorway. Isn't it beastly?” she demanded miserably. “You know, Martha, I simply cannot pass. shall flunk flat; and Professor Martin will never have a particle of faith in me again—never.” “You have twenty-four hours until tomorrow,” Martha suggested comfortingly. “Сш your classes and cram.” Marjory shook her head sadly. days might help me, but twenty-four hours not at all ı ll have to be desperately ill tomorrow. It ‘Twenty-four isn't a very satisfactory way out, but it’s the only way I dare not face the ordeal. Martha began vir tuously, but I must say, Marjory, it serves you I don't want to be nasty, right ; you Jut Marjory waited for no more. She turned precipitously and fled. [he fateful day arrived, and somehow passed. To Marjory, though not for worlds would she have ad mitted it, it was the longest seeming day of her whole She troubled by occasional pricks of conscience and the hours dragged existence, was vain regrets and interminably. | he next morning, upon her return to the world, she sought out Martha. Well she demanded eagerly, was it hard? Did you pass?” Martha looked at her queerly. “Мо,” she said slowly. — It wasn't hard, and I didn't pass.’ Don't tease, she commanded impatiently. “I want to hear about it; tell me.” There's nothing to tell, Martha insisted. ‘Ме came into class yesterday, and everything was in readiness for the Professor Martin even assigned the advanced lesson and then he looked around and said, ‘I want to break this gently ; there will be no test today.’ ' They other a moment in blank silence, before the humor of the situation struck Mar- jory. Then, quite suddenly, she threw back her head and laughed until the tears came. You're hysterical, said Martha disapprovingly, And, if you .

Then, still smiling, she sat down and began a vigorous attack upon the pile of work she had missed. June 16's History [A Class Ballad.] Bv ELizaBETH V. KENT. We entered just four years ago, As Freshies, green as grass; The school was, oh! so big and new For grammar lad and lass. Six hundred strong we started out; But some, ‘tis sad to tell, Their lessons did neglect for fun, And so behind they fell. As | A's we were cold and proud, The Freshies were forlorn; We looked on them with proper awe, And treated them with scorn. 2 B or not to be 2 B, We shouted with our might; Exams were hard, our worries great; We crammed both day and night. Hurrah! we've passed, 2 A's we're made, Our joy was just complete. But, summer o'er, we longed (?) for work. And lunch-room things to eat (?). Jolly Juniors, full of fun, Was our next name in school; But with our math we ceased to laugh, In lab we did not fool. We found that hard work always paid, When 3 A's we became; Still we found time for sociables ; As hosts we earned some fame. Our 4 B team was big indeed, And filled with much delight; To Senior A's we gave a prom, And danced for half the night. Our Charlie Smith we chairman made For two terms joyfully; And he, with Lillian Hawkins, Have done their work with glee. Stern Seniors now, we may look back On all the pranks we played; Of course we studied hard, but, then, Some goodly bluffs we made. Our principal, teachers, all true gold, Have made our school so bright, A place beloved by all of us, A second home by right. And when through life-our way we take, We'll always have a smile For Central, Alma Mater That made school life worth while. AT PARTING. Bv MARGUERITE WHITE. Since June's the month of roses and of song, A joyous time of blithe, sunshiny days, We're sorry it must mean to June Sixteen A parting of the ways. We'd like to halt old Father Time a while, Were he not so impatient of delays; The road soon ends, and real regret attends This parting of the ways. Yet, far beyond the place where paths diverge, There is a goal on which we've fixed our gaze; Our ways lie there and we must bravely bear The parting of the ways. The Land of Promise beckons just ahead, And Duty bids us earn our meed of praise; Then let us, June Sixteen, make Hope supreme At the parting of the ways. TO SPRING. By SOPHIE Еоені.. Awake, O Spring; bring forth the leaves and flowers O bring thou back, to fill our solitude, The lark's clear thrill, the cucoo's viewless flute And woodland echoes that have long been mute. Awake, O Spring; bring forth the leaves and flowers To garnish hollow glaaes and forest bowers: By happy murmurs running thru the grass, Let us perceive thy footsteps softly pass. The bright blue waters answer to our call. Amidst the hollows of the rocks their fall Makes melody within the forest deep, O gentle Spring, why ling'rest thou asleep? AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN. By MARGUERITE WHITE. The garden was a place of sheer delight In early morning when the sun shone bright, When dew lay sparkling on purple phlox, And rows of gaily nodding hollyhocks. There bloomed the loveliest flowers of long ago, Narcissus, mignonette and golden glow. What fragrant odors they the soft winds lent, What messages of cheer and hope they sent; Each dainty blossom bore a heavenly gift, Its mission still to gladden and uplift. This old-time garden was so trimly kept, No noxious weed within its borders crept; Quaint ladies strolled its paths with stately grace, 10 Enchanted as the beauties grew apace; Majestic butterflies and honey bees, Seemed wafted in on every passing breeze. An earthly spot was never more serene, More favored of the gentle fairy green, More lovely in the sunset's after glow Than this old garden of the long ago.

The Prophecy of the Magician Slowly and mystically he rubbed the ball of glass. Then, with fixed stare, he gazed at the rising smoke. Twas the wonderful magician, Professor Class June ‘16. Suddenly the mist lifted, and in a low, even monotone he announced: Behold, my subjects are in various positions and How different from their expectations, in cases, are their realizations! Come with me offices. many and view the scenes.” What is this? Here comes a crowd of white- garbed men, led by a man in a carriage. They are all carrying brooms. Lo, it is the street cleaning brigade, with Raphael Centanni as foreman. Marching in soldierly fashion come his followers, Harry D’Gio- vanni, Simon Pestunowitz, Charles De Rose, Stephen Paskewicz, Isadore Eskowitz, Ralph Petosa, Harry Pashkow, Earnest Rasnick and Barney Ruderman. Suddenly we halt. We are before the golf club. Lillian Hawkins and Charles Smith are too interested in the game to look up. Т� е scene is Mt. Tabor. We are coming back to the city again, and our won- derful Winfield Angus is running the injin on the Erie, while Morris Fenias is the automatic blower of this speed car. On the way we hear the shrill cry of “Raspberries.” Т� е hucksters are Joe Wille and Abe Levin. We enter a movie house, and there sits Sadie Rudolff playing ragtime at the speed of five miles per hour. Shortly afterwards Mr. Newly- wed, in the person of Edwin Blumenthal, enters and then the lights go out and the show begins. Who is that celebrated movie star bowing before us? Gaze. It is Irving Stelle. Then appear Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, in reality Hugh Towey and Edna Rohr. But they are not alone. Enter Carolyn Augenstein as a ballet dancer, Dora Edelston as Olga Petrova, and Hannah Deutsch, Edith Miller and Dorothy Siegel as cabaret dancers. Tired of the movies, we take the trolley to the Metropolitan Opera House. The motorman is Hyman Abramson and the conductor Henry Langammer. Whom did we meet in the lobby but Florence Oneill, a thin, worried society woman, nervously clinging to the arm of the large and corpulent Charles Schober. Then comes a tall, rawboned, domineering woman, meekly followed by a man. They are Mazie Nevius and Alvin Cassedy. But why all the applause? There stands the wonderful prima donna, Fannie Muller. She is the queen of the play, and the official court jester of the “King of Nowhere is Rudolph Glickman. In the background hovers the ever atten- tive Ruth Tlusty, maid of the famous singer. We hear a great commotion in a box near us. “Т� е President of the United States is coming! It is Raymond Szymanowitz, accompanied by Senator Albert Kroner of Missouri. In the next box is the Billy Sunday of to-day, Louis Auerbacher, accom- 11 panied by two ministers, Arthur Jones and Everet Hughes. In another box is Jess Willard Flockhardt, the great fighter, accompanied by the president of the U. S. Steel Corporation, Fred Schadt. At the back of the box stands the latter’s valet, Charles Esposito. What a funny combination! Half disheartened, half elated, we make our exit from the opera house. A crowd is standing around an automobile loaded with suffragists. They are Mary Adubato, Fannie Bear, Sophie Foehl and Augusta Eskowitz. On the other side of the street are some stump speakers for the Socialist party, including William Cohen, Eli Frankel, Abe Isserman and William Seff. Gathered around these personages are Joseph Kiell, the spendthrift; John Groel and William Derrick, the wonderful elo- cutionists; William Jenkins, the happy-go-lucky Carl Burgesser, the town masher; and Joseph Susskind, the Charlie Chaplin of the streets. Around the suffragists are gathered Ruth Comes and Ruth Hawthorne, as old school teachers; Jeannette Reich, a historian in the College of Quintessence; Everet Wright and Theo- dore Koerner, two old scholarly professors; and Jacob Heller, David Ravitz and Charles Trachtenberg, salesmen for the Encyclopedia Britannica. We next start for the business section in a taxi driven by Albert Haring. We note the following signs: John Roalefs, Barber ; Frank Pollard, Chiropodist’’; August Streuning, Butcher ; “Маг- guerite White, Secretarial School ; “‘Jacco Weiss, Iceman,” and Sickel, Schleicher Co., Artists.” We enter the studio of the latter firm, and find seated four models. Imagine our astonishment. They are Charles Durr, Joseph Walsh, Edith Hefele and Helen Gubel- man! Adjoining the studio is a sign, “Cloaks and Suits Exhibited.” We enter. There stand Elsie Lushear, Minnie Ungerleider, and Amelia Joyce, as cloak models. We beat a hasty retreat and enter a large office. There are seven dashing typists. whom we recognize as Lena Cohn, Margaret Coburn, Helen Friedman, Haskell Margeum, Blanche Wheelright, Josephine Kiernan, and Winifried Marcell. It is the office of Otto Arotowsky, the superintendent of the New York Foundling Home. Adjoining this office is that of Bernhardt Bruns, the dimple doctor. He is complacently teaching Dorothy Lehman to smile. We back out of that room into another marked Miriam Lewis, Matrimonial Agency. Seated behind the desk is a thin, angular woman, whom we, with great difficulty, recognize as the proprietor. Standing in front of her are some applicants, whom we recognize as Catherine Leahy, Rebecca Esenstein, Lillian Led- gard, Minnie Kaplan, George Cohn, Fred Schaefer, Alexander Starr , and Albert Steeber. On the other side of the room is “Merle Darling's Employment (Continued on page 54) CLASS OF JUNE ‘16 Autographs ABRAMSON, HYMAN D., 171 Spruce Street General German. Prospects: Business.

Angus, commonly known as Injun, has distinguished himself on the track. Не is Central's crack runner and is the happy possessor of many championship titles. His graduation will mean a heavy loss to the school's athletic prowess. ARATOWSKY, OTTO, 516 South Thirteenth Street General. Prospects: University of Pennsylvania. Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other. Track Team (8), Barnstormers (8), A. A. (6, 7, 8), Camera Club (8). Otto is one of our silent wise men (more silent than wise). Like Bismarck, He can be silent in seven languages. But he has an ever-ready smile, and his red cheeks are the envy and admiration of the opposite sex. AUERBACHER, Louis, 76 North Ninth Street General Latin. Prospects: Columbia. To be great is to be misunderstood.

He loves to argue, but we may forgive this trait when we understand he is to be a lawyer. He has always had Central's best interests at heart. Clean up Central is Louis's motto. 14 AUGENSTEIN, CAROLYN, 193 North Eleventh Street 3 Year Student. Commercial. Prospects: Undecided. Thy тойезіу8 a candle to thy merit. W. W.

Prospects: University of Pennsylvania. I awoke one morning and found myself famous. Webster-Hayne (8), Central Service (8). Eddie got through in 31 2 years. How?

Prospects: Cornell. Happy am 1; from care Гт free. Although Bruns has never entered into school activities, his cheerful smile and his dimples have won him many friends.

We predict that Ruth will make an excellent school teacher. Соомвев, WALLACE, 36 Pierce Street General German. Prospects: Business. On their own merits modest men are dumb. Mathematics Club (8), Shorthand Team (8). Wally is a quiet fellow and has not participated in school activities to a great extent, owing to outside duties.

Prospects: Business. He makes no friend who never made a foe. Rifle Club (7, 8), Centro Castellano (8). Little can be said about Bill as he has not been active in Central, except as an ardent supporter of the Rifle Club and one of its best riflemen. In his studies he has been a hard worker. Durr, CHARLES, 95 Chadwick Avenue Technical. Prospects: Undecided. A fauliless body and a blameless mind.

Durr has been quite active in the clubs of Central. He is one of those fellows that are popular with both boys and girls. Mathemati- cal and chemical weaknesses seem to be his chief ailments, but his efficiency as a. baseball manager appears to be an antidote for these. 18 EDELSTON, Dora, 76 Sixteenth Avenue General German. Prospects: Normal School. Smeet are the slumbers of the virtuous. Although Dora has done nothing in the line of club activities, she is a very studious girl. We regret that she has not mingled with us to a greater extent. EISENSTEIN, REBECCA J. 281 Bergen Street General German. Prospects: Normal School. To be content with little is true happiness. Girls’ A. A. (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), W. W. (7, 8), Webster-Hayne (8), Barnstormers (8). Rebecca is another quiet girl.

FOEHL, SOPHIE, 12 Gouveneur Street General German. Prospects: Normal School Whatever anyone does or says, | must: be good. Girls’ A. A. (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Webster-Hayne (3), W. W. (7.8). Sophie has aspired to be a debater, but has attempted little in other school activities. Nevertheless, her scholarship record speaks for itself. FRANKEL, ELI, 66 Morton Street General German. Prospects: Rutgers. Speech is the gift of all, but the thought of few. A. A. (6, 7, 8), Webster-Hayne (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Math. Club (5. 6, 7, 8), Clionia Literary (8), Barnstormers (7, 8) Captain Interscholastic Debating Team (8). Frankel is a strong debater, and we imagine that some day he will be either a great lawyer or a stump speaker. Stick to it, Eli, and for our sake as well as your own, become the former. 20 FRIEDMAN, HELEN, 25 Montgomery Street General German. Prospects: Normal School. Short and sweet. Girls’ A. A. (8). Helen' slist of activities is rather short, and so is Helen. Imagine our little girl a school teacher. But never mind; we are sure success is waiting for you with open arms. GLICKMAN, RUDOLPH, 185 Fairmount Avenue General. Prospects: New York Dental College. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. Central Service (6, 7, 8), Treasurer (7), President (8), Web- ster-Hayne (5, 6, 7, 8), G. O. Delegate (6), President (7), Dele- gate to Rutgers Inter-Scholastic Debating League (8), G. O. Delegate 4-B Class (7). Glickman has been prominent in many activities, especially debat- ing. But, as a dentist, we think he will become still more prominent. His work for the school is not his only asset. His everlasting good humor and ready wit have made him a general favorite in the class, and will make him popular in his chosen profession. GROEL, JOHN, 15 Isabella Avenue Special Course. Prospects: Rutgers. Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts. Camera Club (6, 7), Webster-Hayne (6, 7, 8), A. A. (7, 8), Central Service Club (7, 8), Senior Pivot (8), Pivot (8), Barn- stormers (7, 8), Mandolin Club (7, 8), Rifle Club (8), Business Staff Amazons (8). John has quite a heavy list of activities. He has a very pleasing personality and a great number of friends. During the past term John has shown a marked interest in a certain person. GUBELMAN, HELEN E., 757 Bergen Street 3 Year Student. Commercial. Prospects: Business. Virtue and happiness are mother and daughter. Girls’ Service (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), Vice-President (6), Webster- Hayne (3, 4, 5, 6). B arnstormers (4, 5, 6). Girls’ A. A. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Note the long list of activities and the fact that. Helen is a three year student. And yet Helen has always time to flash her winsome smile and toss her golden hair. Her picture was uppermost in our minds as we read “The Rape of the Lock, but we hope that no such terrible catastrophe may ever befall her. Helen combines beauty and brains, and is a hard and earnest worker for the school. 21 HAWKINS, LILLIAN K., 101 Eleventh Avenue VICE-PRESIDENT OF CLASS. General German. Prospects: Normal School. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.

Lillian is one of the most popular girls in our class. Her charming personality and fair complexion have won her a cozy place in the hearts of all. Lil has not neglected her studies, either, for she can be seen wearing one of those pretty gold scholarship pins, for which she worked very diligently. HAWTHORNE, RUTH, 93 Sunset Avenue Commercial. Prospects: Normal School. A pretty face wins the case. Girls’ Service Club (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Barnstormers (8). A very quiet and reserved girl is Ruth. She is anxious, though, to benefit the school in as many ways as possible, and is a worthy addition to the class. HEFELE, EDITH, 11 Heller Place Commercial. Prospects: Undecided. Is she not passing fair? Although Edith has partaken in no school activities, she is very popular because of her pleasing face and her merry ways. Edith has done some excellent needlework. HELLER, JACOB, 118 Sixteenth Avenue General. Prospects: N. Y. U. A small spark makes a great fire. Central Service (7, 8), Clionia Literary (8), Math. Club (8), Webster-Hayne (8), W. W. (5). Heller is a fellow who has loomed up during his senior year. He has ability, and it is to be regretted that he waited so long before showing us what he really could do. He is a forceful debater and а mathema- tician of no mean ability. HUGHES, EVERETT J., 110 Bloomfield Avenue Commercial. Prospects: Business. Modesty is virtue. Glee Club (2, 3), Minstrel Show (3). Doc is a fellow who has some very fine qualities; but, unfor- tunately, he has not come out and shown them to us. He made a fine start in the Glee Club and White Minstrels, and then dropped off. However, he has the making of a successful business man. ISSERMAN, ABRAHAM, 34 Brientnall Place General. Prospects: Rutgers. And let him be sure to allow other men their turn to speak. Webster-Hayne (3, 4, 5, 6), Vice-President (5), Sergeant-at- Arms (6), W. W. (7, 8), Secretary (8), Math. Club (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Secretary (6), Clionia Literary (5, 6, 7, 8), Barnstormers (7, 8), Tennis Club (8), Pivor (8), SENIOR Pivot (8). Abe is our class egotist. His opinions are always positively positive and usually expressed loudly enough for everybody to hear. He is usually ready for a fight, provided it is of the verbal variety. But although Abe spends much time in argument, he is well liked. JENKINS, WM. H., JR., 125 Park Avenue Commercial German. Prospects: N. Y. U. I am slow of study. To us, Willie, Jr., seems to be a rather quiet lad with a propensity toward bashfulness. To those who know him intimately he is a very jovial fellow. Не has been inactive in sch ool affairs because of lack of time (so he says). JONES, ARTHUR, 17 Burnett Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. As gentle as a lamb. Camera Club (8), A. A. (8). Although Athur has done little for his class and school, he has probably made up for this in his studies. Joyce, AMELIA, 81 Pennsylvania Avenue General German. Prospects: Pratt Institute. Diligence is the mother of good fortune. Girls’ Service (6, 7), Glee Club (1, 2). Although Amelia has not been very active in the clubs of the school, she has been industrious along other lines, particularly in her studies. Her scholarship record will suffice to prove this. We expect to hear great things from you, Amelia. KAPLAN, MINNIE, 448 Washington Street 3V5 Year Student. Commercial. Prospects: Normal School. One may live and learn. Minnie is another one of those girls of whom there is very little to say. She has always attended strictly to her studies and never mingled with us. Hence this short write-up. KENNEDY, RUSSELL J., 181 Sussex Avenue Commercial German. Prospects: Business. Men of few words are the best men. Mathematics Club (8). Russell, because of his solemnity, was nicknamed Deacon. Не is one of the quietest chaps of the class. Russell devotes much of his time to printing. We are sure that he will succeed in business. KENT, ELIZABETH, 85 Heller Parkway General. Prospects: Scudder School for Social Secretaries. The right girl in the right place.

Bessie is a sociable and jovial girl. She has been a good student and a loyal classmate, and we wish her hearty success in her chosen profession. Only recently we discovered that Bessie has dramatic ability. 24 KIERNAN, JOSEPHINE, 10 Coeyman Street 3 Year Student. Commercial. Prospects: Business. The secret of her success is constancy to purpose. Josephine, or Jo, as she is familiarly known, is one of our three-year students. This explains why she has not partaken in many activities while at Central. Jo is very obliging and is always willing to do a fellow a good turn. KOERNER, THEODORE, 14 Quitman Street Commercial German. Prospects: Rutgers. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Central Service (7, 8), SENIOR Pivot (8), Math. Club (5, 6, 7, 8), Secretary (7), Vice-President (8), Webster-Hayne (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), A. A. (8), Executive Committee of G. O. (8), Secretary (8). By all the members of the class Theodore is considered a most pleasing and obliging companion. He is exceptionally bright, espe- cially in the line of mathematics, so we expect him to be a prominent professor some day. Krauss, WILLIAM E., 588 South Eleventh Street General German. Prospects: Cornell. A tender heart, a will inflexible. A. A. (1, 2), Math. Club (8). William is one of those jovial fellows whom folks just naturally like. He not only performs his work at school faithfully, but holds a position in the Public Library after school, which keeps him rather busy. We can see nothing but success for William. KRONER, ALBERT J., 1105 Borad Street Commercial. Prospects: Government Chemist. As busy as a bee. Math. Club (8), Glee Club (1, 2, 3), Camera Club (5, 6, 7, 8), Wireless Club (8). Albert is a faithful music pupil. We don’t know what we'd do without the presence of his smiling face on the platform every morning. Kroner is also a star at chemistry. Не gets along very well with every- body. LEAHY, KATHRYN, 39 Newark Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. Blushing is the color of virtue. Clionia Literary (7, 8), Barnstormers (8), W. W. (6, 7, 8). We only hope that Kathryn's anticipated business career will not dim the brightness of her sunny face, for she is always happy. We consider her one of the most likeable girls in the class. LEDGARD, LILLIAN, 203 Woodside Avenue Commercial. Prospects: Boston Conservatory. Thoughtful of others. Glee Club (1, 2). Lillian has always been a studious worker, but she has never tried to become one of us. She has neglected activities to devote her time to studies. LEHMANN, DOROTHY, 770 South Twelfth Street General German. Prospects: Business. An honest laborer, who bears a lovely face. Girls’ Service (6, 7, 8), Girls’ A. A. (3, 4), Barnstormers (8), Penmanship Club (7, 8). Considering the businesslike way in which Dorothy manages things, we are sure she will succeed in her chosen vocation. But she is not all business. If you would like to know what a true friend and delightful companion Dot is, just ask Marguerite. LEVIN, ABRAHAM, 73A Thirteenth Avenue Commercial. Prospects: N. Y. U. Business makes a man as well as tries him. Business Manager Pivot (3, 4, 5, 6, 7), Central Service (3, 4, 5, 6), Commercial Club (3, 4, 5), A. A. (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Business Manager SENIOR Pivot (4, 5, 6, 7), Manager Central Meet (6). Abe has a great business head, and has helped greatly with the financial and managerial ends of the various school activities. He has had little time to attend to other affairs. Lewis, MIRIAM, 196 South Tenth Street General German. Prospects: Normal School. Principle is ever my motto; not expediency. Vice-President G. O. (6), Clionia Literary (6, 7, 8), President (7, 8), Girls’ Service (6, 7, 8), Treasurer (8); Glee Club (1, 2, 3), Japanese Operetta (2), Prom. Committee (7). Miriam is the best all-around girl in the class. She has always been liked, and because of her good work has become very popular. Central will be minus a great deal when she leaves, for she has been connected with almost everything that has gone on in the school. LOWENBERG, WILLIAM, 243 Second Avenue General. Prospects: N. Y. U. The dwarf sees farther than the giant. William is the smallest boy in the class and still wears knicker- bockers. Because of his size he has earned the name of Peanuts. He has participated in no school activities, his time having been devoted to his lessons and outside secretarial duties. LUSHEAR, ELSIE, 370 South Twelfth Street General German. Prospects: Dr. Savage's School. Silence is the mother of truth. We very seldom hear Elsie, but she is a very appreciative listener, and this is sometimes considered much better. Perhaps it is a case of still waters running deep. MARGERUM, HASKELL, 170 Wahsington Street Commercial. Prospects: Nurses’ Training School. Conspicuous by her absence. Barnstormers (8). Haskell is of the retiring, studious type. She has chosen nursing for her profession, so all we can do is to wish her the best of fortune. MILLER, EDITH STEWART, 57 Charlton Street Commercial German. Prospects: Dr. Savage's School. No legacy is so rich as honesty. Girls’ A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), President (8), Girls’ Basketball Team (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), Pivor (8).

Throughout thei entire dressmaking course many useful articles ol wearin g apparel have been made by them. Now, as a fitting culmination to their work, the girls are engaged in the making of their graduation dresses. Edna Rohr, Florence Oneill, Edith Hefele, Mazie Nevius, Lillian Hawkins and Emma Schleicher are the senior girls who have attained greatest efficiency in the useful art of dressmaking. Simon Pestunowitz has performed some excellent work in the shop. He expects, in connection with Abe Schachat, to complete a two-cylinder gas engine for a motor boat. It will probably be finished in time to appear in the exhibition of the 250th anni- versary celebration. Henry Langammer has also done good work in the shop. He has turned out numerous articles, most prominent among which are a drill, and a die for performing one operation in the making of a draw- puller and card-holder. He is at present engaged in making a punch for the die, and expects to complete it in a short time. TENNIS CLUB. Prior to this term, the seniors had not taken much interest in the sport of tennis. Now there has been a revival of tennis spirt among the members of the class, and several have joined the club for the 1916 tennis season. Carolyn Augenstien, the secretary. is the only officer who represents the senior class. The other senior tennis enthusiasts are: Carl Burgesser, John Groel, Frank Pollard, Irving Stelle, Williara Seff and Abe Isserman. These members are helping the tennis club to secure the court on the roof for the regular use of the members and to put out a strong team to represent the club in inter-school tournaments Some of the seniors will undoubtedly be on the team 40 4 7% Жу TECHNICAL CLUB. The Technical Club was formed for the purpose of increasing the technical knowledge of its members. With three scnior officers as leaders, the club has taken several trips to different manufacturing plants. This term they visited the Copper Rolling Works, the Eberhardt-Faber Company, the Нау Foundry, Shooter's Island, Point-no-Point, and various smaller places. In this manner they have been brought into contact with actual processes of manufacturing, and have gained much valuable information of a practical sort. The senior officers are: Alvan Cassedy, dent; Max Wendt, Vice-President, and Joseph Walsh, G. O. Delegate. Other active seniors are: Charles Durr, John Flockhardt, Henry Langammer, Frank Pollard, Charles Schober, Joseph Wille and Everit Wright. Presi- GIRLS’ A. A. Some of Central's best girl athletes are members of the June 16 class. The list of seniors is headed by Edith Miller, the president of the Association. Fannie Muller, Rebecca Eisenstein, Ruth Hawthorne, Josephine Kiernan, Mazie Nevius, Fannie Bear, Dorothy Siegal, Margaret Coburn, Hannah Deutsch and Edith Miller are the senior members of the ath- letic association. The four last named are on the Central High School girls’ basketball team. These girls are also very active in other matters pertaining to girls’ athletics. At the | B sociable held recently, they superintended the arrangements. Among their other achievements in the past year we have the gym- nastic exhibition, and the after-school dancing class. Central is one of the few schools that have a girls’ athletic association, and it is because of the seniors that the interest in girls’ athletics has been maintained. CENTRAL SERVICE CLUB. A majority of the members of the school's leading club, the Central Service Club, are seniors. They deserve commendation for the good work which they have done during their careers as active members. All around us we can see evidence of their work. They are continually promoting school spirit, securing new things for the school, and serving the school in all possible ways. It was mainly through their efforts that the plans to award scholarship prizes and literary C's were adopted. The club, composed mainly of seniors, is a leading factor in the support of the G. O. For the purpose of raising funds, they have run basketball games, and a costume dance in conjunction with the Girls’ Service Club. All the seniors in the club are active workers, and spend much time in their efforts to better the school. By their graduation, a great gap will be left in the ranks of the club, which will not easily be filled. Т� е chief officers of the club are seniors: Rudolph Glick- man, President, and Louis Auerbacher, Vice-Presi- dent. The following members, who have done much for the school, are also seniors: Alvan Cassedy, George Cohen, Wm. Cohen, Edward Blumenthal, Merle Darling, Morris Fenias, John Groel, Jacob Heller, Theodore Koerner, Alfred Marasco, Harry Pashkow, Frank Pollard, Ernest Rasnick, David Ravitz, John Roalefs, Fred Schaefer, Irving Starr, Irving Stelle, Joseph Susskind, Raymond Szymano- witz, Joseph Walsh and Joseph Wille. STENOTYPY IN CENTRAL. Central has been true to its motto, “Central leads and others follow in stenotypy as well as in other lines. In fact, it was one of the first high schools in the country to realize the advantages of stenotypy and accept it in its regular routine of studies. Due to Mr. Telfer's exertions, sixteen machines have been installed since September, 1914. The seniors were the first to answer his call, and they constituted a large part of the first class in this study. Gradually Mr. Telfer's efforts materialized, and now four classes have completed the course in stenotypy. The suc- cess in the work to date is due chiefly to the wonder- ful little machine used. It is very easy to master and can be operated with great speed. Business men immediately realized these qualities, and are now employing stenotypists, rather than stenographers. The field for stenotypists is very large, and consequently it affords great opportunity. We hope that the lower classmen will follow the example of the seniors and take advantage of the opportunity open to them. A hint to the wise is sufficient. 41 GIRLS' SERVICE CLUB. It is only logical, in a club whose membership is composed of the most public spirited girls in the school, that the majority should be seniors. This is true of the Girls’ Service Club. The Vice-President, Helen Gubleman, and the following members are seniors: Dorothy Seigal, Elizabeth Kent, Marguerite White, Miriam Lewis, Ruth Hawthorne, Dorothy Lehman, Ruth Comes, Lillian Hawkins, Fanny Bear, Margaret Coburn, Loretta Seigfriend and Emma Schleicher. The Girls’ Service Club is a power for good in the school. The members try to promote the general welfare of the girls in the school, and to maintain high standards in the student body. The following is a short account of the notable things which have been accomplished by the Girls’ Service Club, besides the regular work mentioned above. For the last two terms sociables have been held each term for the pur- pose of familiarizing the | B girls with the older pupils. А sociable was also held to raise money for the G. O. These affairs wer e carried off very suc- cessfully. Again, to aid the G. O., a costume dance was held in conjunction with the Central Service Club. This was another huge success. The last thing which the senior members of the Girls’ Service Club will accom- plish will be to arrange a float to represent the school in the parade in honor of Newark's 250th anniversary. MATHEMATICS CLUB. Among the seniors there is no lack of interest in mathematics. Three years ago, when the class was still in its infancy, Abe Isserman and Theodore Koerner first enlisted as followers of Euclid and Pythagoras. As time went on, more and more mem- bers joined, until at the present time, a great majority of the club are seniors. Under their guidance, the organization has had one of the most successful sea- sons of its existence. Every week lectures have been given by teachers, and talks by students. This was the result of the arrangement committee’s work. This committee is composed of three seniors, William Cohen being chair- man. Checkers and chess were also featured in the club. Three of the officers are seniors: Joseph Susskin, President; Theodore Koerner, Vice-Presi- dent, and David Ravitz, Secretary. We are proud of the following list of seniors in the club, in addition to the officers: Mr. Cohen, Wallace Coombes, Eli Frankel. Jacob Heller, Abs Isserman, J. Russell Kennedy, William Krauss, Henry Langamme-. Harry Pashkow, Frank Pollard, Ernest Rasnick, Barney Ruderman, Fred Schadt and Charles Smith. UIDI HE Iu ESI DEBATING. Of all the school activities, the one which will suffer most by the graduation of the class of June, '16, is debating. From the very beginning, a large interest has been taken in argumentation by the members of the class. The loss of debaters will be so great, that for next term nothing but raw material will be left. The members of the teams in the last intersociety debate, with the exception of one, were all seniors. Eli Frankel, Wm. Seff and Wm. Cohen represented the Webster-Hayne; Fannie Bear and Alfred Marasco, the W. W. Likewise, three of the asso- ciates on the interscholastic team, namely Eli Frankel, Alfred Marasco and Rudolph Glickman are seniors. Harold Avidan, a post-graduate, member. In both societies the majority of officers are seniors. Those in the Webster-Hayne are: Morris Fenias, President; Elizabeth Kent, Vice-President, and Eli Frankel, G. O. Delegate. In the W. W., Alfred Marasco is President; Fannie Bear, Vice-President: Abe Isserman, Secretary, and Joseph Susskind, Sergeant-at-arms. Other seniors in the Webster-Hayne who are espe- cially active are as follows: William Cohen, Jacob Heller, Theodore Koerner, and Irving Stelle. Those most active in the W. W. are: Raphael Centanni, Augusta Eskowitz, Katherine Leahy, Simon Pestuno- witz and David Ravitz. There are, of course, many other, but less active, seniors. was the other SENORS CONTROL GENERAL ORGANIZATION. On March 315, the С. O., after a long period of inactivity, again resumed its active existence by the election of officers. The results of the election are as follows: Charles Schober, President; Miriam Lewis, Vice-President; Alvan Cassedy, Thomas Farrel, Florence Oneill, Theodore Koerner, Dorothy Seigal, Le Roy Stein, Fanny Baer and Harry Schaub, Executive Committee. The president, vice-president and five members of the executive committee are seniors. With this excellent administration, and with the support of the school, the G. O. is now ready to carry out fully the several purposes of the organization as stated in the constitution. The school body will soon realize that the great advantages derived from being a member of the G. O. will make it imperative that each individual pupil join the organization as an act of justice to himself. At a time when G. O. prospects looked dark, and when the funds of the organization were in a sadly depleted condition, the senior class did yeoman service in bolstering up the pillars which supported the G. O. The whole senior class became members of the G. O., —— Е and committees were appointed to see about raising funds. As a result, dances were held by the class, entrance to which was gained by the payment of a small admission and an admission fee to the basket ball games was also charged. The proceeds of these affairs were turned over to the G. O. The seniors aided materially at the Big Meet by selling tickets and exhorting others to buy them. It was the proceeds of the meet which put the G. O. financially on its feet. fee, CAMERA CLUB. Although few in number, the senior A's in the Camera Club have made a very creditable showing. I heir work has been among the best produced by the club. Irving Stelle, who has long been a camera man, has done some notable work. In a recent con- test held to encourage photography, Stelle won five of the prizes offered. Two of these were first prizes, ine being for the best picture in the speed class, and one for the best in the portrait clas. He also cap- tured second prize in the speed class, and second and third prizes in animal photography. Everet Wright, who has held office in the club several times, has won many prizes in the past. Cooper Sickle is also an active member of the club. It is chiefly due to the influence of these seniors that the club has reached its present stage of efficiency and usefulness. DO YOU KNOW THESE CHAMPIONS? When the present senior class graduates in June, the school will lose its fastest and most efficient steno- typist, Dorothy Siegal. Dorothy has acquired great skill in manipulating the keyboard of the stenotype machine. She is capable of doing practice work at the rate of 200 words per minute, and new matter at the rate of about 140 words per minute. The Steno- type Company employed her when the Convention of Eastern Commercial Teachers met at the Hotel McAlpin during the Easter vacation. William Krauss is the leading typist and stenog- rapher of the school. About a year and a half ago he won his first honors, receiving a certificate from the Underwood Typewriter Company for typewriting at the rate of 40 words per minute. Later he won a Remington gold medal, for writing at the rate of more than 55 words per minute for ten consecutive minutes with less than 15 errors. At a typewriting contest in the Merchants’ and Bankers’ School at New York City, he won third place. This contest was open to all high schools within 25 miles of New York. His rate was 69 words per minute, for 15 consecutive minutes. In shorthand his best record for practise matter is 152 words per minute, new matter 142 words. By their achievements, these students upheld the high standards of the senior class. (School News continued on page 56) p | June 16's Athletics The class of June, '16, has in its ranks the largest collection of athletics that any graduating class of Central has ever had. The following brief summary shows what boys have done good work in our major sports: Track—Angus, Eachenfelder, Aratowsky, Flock- hardt, Esposito. Cross-Country—Angus, Smith. Football—Flockhardt, Schober, Wille. Basketball—T owey, Rasnick. Baseball—Schober, Towey, Wille. This high record in athletics is something of which any class may be proud. Besides these athletes who have met with success, we have among us the follow- ing who have shown earnestness and some ability — Burgesser, Groel, Cohen, Frankel. In Winfield Angus we certainly have a premier athlete. Any class should be proud of having such a notable as Angus, who became a star when Central first opened. Since then, he has competed in almost every cross-country and track meet the school has engaged in, and has scored many points. Angus was a member of the American Champion Cross-country and the Eastern State Champion Track Teams, and at present is our track captain. To state all that Injun has accomplished in athletics would take a special issue of the Pivot. Hughey Towey is another one of our celebrated athletes. Although he has been in Central only one year he has already made a name for himself in ath- letics. As center on the basketball team, he did excellent work. Before coming to us he pitched on the Seton Hall basball team for two seasons, and he is one of our varsity pitchers this term. Charles Schober is another fellow who has done big things in athletics for Central. He has played on the baseball team for the last three years, and on the football team for the last two years. Besides this, Brownie is a member of the track squad, and will probably represent the class in the Interclass relays. Recently he was elected president of the Athletic Association. Easchenfelder, Schaefer, 43 John Flockhart has certainly accomplished a great deal in the line of athletics. Не played on the foot- ball team for three years, being captain of last year's team. As a track man, “Jawn” has always been a consistent point scorer. He has been our star shot- putter, javelin-thrower, and discus man for the past four years. We can't say. more for fear of making him blush. All we can do is to congratulate him. Charles Esposito brings great credit to our class for his brilliant work as a track man. Four years ago he was the star junior sprinter and broad jumper, and was a member of the fast junior relay. Ever since then he has represented Central and has “scored in every meet. Charles Smith is a fellow who has taken consider- able interest in athletics in this school. Besides being a member of the track squad, Charley has attended to the business end of athletic activities. He won a pie emblem and a “С2” at cross-country, and was man- ager of our basketball team during the 1915-1916 season. William Krauss, our star typist and stenographer, has made scholarship and athletics go hand in hand. Billy was the champion all-round turner of Central in 1912. Although he made his debut in athletics but re- cently, Andrew Eschenfelder has done very well as a runner. Last year he captured fourth place in the mile at the East Orang-Central Dual Meet, and fifth in the same event at the City Meet. Andy was eighth man on our 1915 cross-country team, and this year got sixth place in the mile at our indoor meet. Joseph Wille went out for football last fall, and, after hard training, made the team and was awarded a C. At present he is a candidate for the position of catcher on the baseball team, and it seems very likely he will succeed in securing it. Fred Schaefer is a fellow who also started late in athletics. Last year he earned a C2 at cross- cuontry and was recently awarded a similar emblem for work as assistant basket-ball manager. At present he is our track manager. Ernest Rasnick is one of the members of our class who succeeded in making the basketball team. For two years he played guard on the second team, anc this year ke was one of our chief scorers on the first team, his sensational field goals featuring his playing. Husky gained fame as a grammar school runner, and at present he is out for our class relay, which will run in the East Orange-Central Dual Meet. Charles Durr has been active in the managing of Central's athletics. Last season he assistant baseball manager, while this term he is in sole charge of our team. Besides doing managerial work, Charles at one time was out for track. In our 1914 Inter- class games he finished fourth to Angus in the quarter- mile handicap. was DID YOU KNOW THAT: Barney Ruderman was out for football last year, made good as a centre, and was awarded an emblem? Fred Schadt track managers ? is one of our new assistant Louis Auerbacher has been Central's cheer-leader for more than a year, and is also helping the track managers ? Carl Burgesser ran with the cross-country team and also in the half-mile handicap at the Big Meet ? Frank Pollard was assistant cheer-leader at the Meet? Abe Isserman ran in the half-mile handicap at the Meet? Alfred Marasco was at one time out for the cross- country team and did fairly good work? John Groel succeeded in getting fourth place in the half-mile handicap at the Meet and is at present out for the Class Relay? Everett Hughes is making a strong bid for a place on the baseball team? And so is Irving Starr? Useless Wright was formerly our varsity high jumper ? Harold Pashkow has played on the basket-ball team for two years? George Cohen has been on the second team at basketball for two years, and is out for the Class Relay? Alvan Cassedy was the student manager of the Big Meet ? The A. A. is controlled by seniors? Charles Schober, President; Hugh Towey, Vice-President; Joseph Walsh, Secretary, and Charles Smith, Treas- urer and G. O. Delegate? GIRLS’ ATHLETICS. Edith Miller, without doubt, is one of the best girl athletes Central has ever put out. Since her fresh- man year, she has figured actively in all athletics. Edith played guard on the class basketball team every term, until in her senior year, when she tried her hand at playing forward. Нег good work in this position has secured her a place on the ‘varsity team. In addition to being a crack basketball shot Edith is also a star baseball player, having played with a girls' baseball team all last summer. Dorothy Siegal, one of our most versatile girl ath- letes, has been an ardent supporter of girls’ athletics ever since she entered Central. She has played on the class basket-ball teams every term, and has also played on the ‘varsity team. Dorothy has also come out for hockey, baseball, and running, and has been a main factor on all these teams. Hannah Deutsch is one of our star basket-ball players. Hannah boasts that she can play any posi- tion in the game, and has proven it to us many a time. She is at her best, however, when playing guard. Hannah is also interested in baseball and hockey, and we are safe in saying that she is among Central's best all-round girl athletes. Margaret Coburn is another very good basket-ball guard. Peg has not given us much chance to see her play, as she started work in athletics only in her junior year. However, from what we have seen of her, Peg has all the qualification of an adept girl athlete. Fannie Bear is another of our enthusiastic athletes. Fannie, besides being noted for her basket-ball ability, is one of our fastest runners, and will run on the senior relay team in the Dual Meet. Mazie Nevius is undoubtedly one of our best run- ners and basket-ball players. Mazie expects to be a gym teacher, and she will succeed if she keeps up the work she has started at Central. Fannie Muller, besides being one of the best social dancers і� the school, is an excellent runner. She is to be one of the eight girls to run on the senior relay team at the Dual Meet with East Orange. The class of June, 16, may boast of girl athletes as well as boy athletes. Among our number we find girls who have participated in every line of sports in the school. س 5 I TO HIS Е ur If you can't laugh at the jokes of the age, then laugh at the age of the jokes.
