Donner Business Staff Sol P. Pressler.. ....Business Manager Eugene Donnelly Circulation Manager Henry Meran Sarah Kruger We, the Senior A Class nf Central Gigh School, wish to express to the bereaved parents of Sarah Kruger and Genry McLean our heartfelt sympathy and sorrow. Our constant rom- panionship with them taught us to appreciate their pleasant character and personality. They were respected by all, and treasured by those who really knem them. Co the sorrowing parents we can only say that our thoughts are with them in their bereavement. We hope they will be comforted as are those who look beyond the mortal changes nf life into the infinite glory of the immortal spirit. SENIOR FAREWELL Four long, yet seemingly short, years ago we stood on the threshold of the doorway marked “Enter.” To-day we stand on that opposite threshold marked “Exit.” Through the open doorway we see the world before us. Which way shall we go? What is the best road to travel on? For twelve years we have been under the sheltering wings of our teachers. But now we, too, have to step forth, alone. We are the masters of our own destinies. What we do, and what we shall be, depends on us. For many long years we have striven, striven faith- fully, to attain that goal which we now have reached. For four years we have enjoyed one another’s com- pany, have been banded together as brothers and sis- ters, standing side by side at all times. Soon we are to part, never again to be united as now. We are soon to leave these sacred walls, to return never again as students. Some of us are going to continue our education at college; others are going to enter the great world of business immediately. Within a short time we shall be scattered as the dust of the earth. May happiness and prosperity ever be the lot of the class, o f our faculty and of the student body. And so we, the class of January, '18, say farewell. A WORD FROM THE BOARD And now we, the twelfth regular Pivot Board, bid you farewell. Our task has been a hard one, but hardly a thankful one. Probably there is no one body of students that works so hard as the members of the Pivot Board. Their pay, the reward for their services, comes not in the form of emblems or medals, but in the satisfaction that they have done something for their school. We never hear the “locomotive” with our rame at the end given in our honor to cheer us on. Our praise comes in different forms. And those forms are knocks. The average high school student finds great delight in being critical. Nine cases out of ten these criticisms are unjust. To produce THE Pivor each month calls for more work than is at first supposed. For the six years that THE Pivot has been in existence it has always had a boy for editor. But now, in these advanced days of feminism, it is very probable that THE Pivot may have a girl for editor. We know that the girls of Central will feel themselves much superior to the boys. We know that the girl who is to be appointed will do her work faithfully. But she will do her work much better if she works in con- junction with the students. Hold back your knocks till you find they are justified. Now that we have opened our editorial heart to you, we can say more easily, au revoir. GIRLS’ PATRIOTIC KNITTING CLUB At a critical period such as we are now living in everyone is desirous of doing his or her bit. The Knitting Club, under the leadership of Miss Hast- ings, the faculty adviser, has succeeded in becoming a leading organization this term. Its membership en- rollment has increased so rapidly that further mem- bership had to be closed for the term. Its meetings are held once a week, when wool is distributed to the members. Work is being done for the Surgical Dressing and Red Cross units. So far 18 trench caps, 14 sweaters and 14 pairs of wristlets have been sent to the Surgical Dressing unit, and 15 sweaters, 15 pairs of wristlets, 2 dozen wash cloths and 6 pairs of socks to the Red Cross. Boys can also do their bit by saving all their tinfoil and bringing it in to the club, as the Red Cross is very desirous of obtaining this. About five pounds has already been gathered during lunch time. AS THE SEER SEES By Ye CLass PROPHET, LEON KRANZTOHR The reading yesterday of the will of the (nearly always) late Leon Zeckhausen, at the offices of his Helen that the moving picture magnate and owner of the world’s counsellor, Elias, revealed the fact largest herring factory, left an estate valued at much less than had been predicted. The will was remark- able for its detailed character and its many small be- quests, and is given in full below, minus the usual preliminary statements: “To my dear wife, Ethel Pearl Zeckhausen, I be- queath the $1,000,019.21, stocks, bonds and cash held by my lawyer, Helen Elias.

To Carl Seitel, cow puncher for the M. S. S. Company, I leave my com- plete set of boxing gloves. “To Herbert Smock, manager of my herring fac- tory, and the man who has aided me more than any other in the production of synthetic herring, I leave $500,000. To Gerald Hauser, my old friend and com- panion, who is now barking for the William Hoesley Shows, I leave my book of magic and mysterious tricks, and $200,000. Io my colleagues and partners in my business ven- tures, Samuel Grubin and Stephen Nowinski, I leave $250,000 each, as a token of my esteem. “To Robert Housman, faithful butler and verbal battler, I bequeath $5,000; Harold Merz, my gar- rulous gardener, and guarder of my gardens, I leave $5,000; Philip Mintz, foreman of my hot-air plant, for bringing it to such a wonderful state of perfection, $22.37; Ed Fink, who grew to be a groom in my employ, and Theodore Augenstein, expert stable boy, $599 each. “To Ruth Benz, cook of cooks, I leave $10,000, and to Minnie Gelfand, cooker of cookies, the same sum. “To my faithful maids, Eleanor Beckelman, Hazel Harmer and Emma Alexander, who were also in charge of my Welfare Work for Handsome Police- men, I leave $10,000 each. “To Walter Prosch and Samuel Kappner, my showy chauffeurs, I leave $5,000 and a Ford apiece. “To William Bachman and Charles Breder I be- queath the sum of $72 for the continuance of their work on a perpetual motion machine. I believe this money to be especially well placed, as these men have, in twenty years of work, obtained wonderful results, such as having the machine run continuously for one hour and thirty-eight minutes; and there is no doubt but that even better results may be obtained in the next twenty years. “To Susan Gelman and Grace Hedden, who have starred for many years in ‘Uncle Jake's Delicatessen,’ I bequeath all my jewelry, to be equally divided be- tween them, in an amicable manner. “To Laura Lewandorf and Claire Howard, of the ‘Coconut Cove’ chorus, I leave $25,000, and a 'Backard' limousine each. “To Ethel Hamburger and Johanna Lauterwasser, co-authors of ‘Suffrage: Why It Should,’ I leave $2.13, to be equally divided. “To Iva Sleep, inventor of the folding ‘napsack,’ I bequeath my books on ‘Slumber,’ by Drema Weigh. As an excellent executor, after my exit, I express my desire to name Leopold Lallone, the macaroni manufacturer, whose ability in money matters is well known. History of Nineteen Eighteen By H. NoRMAN COLLIER As the fading sun sinks wearily to meet the long. gray hills of the west, and the deep, soft gloam of twilight gently falls and enfolds the noble portals of our alma mater; as Time in his flight hurries onward into the future, and leaves us finally to ourselves in high and solemn assemblage, then, and only then, gather we together, that at last, after all is accom- plished and done, we may peer through the mist into the unknown and silent future. But, lo! What is this that happens about us? What means this change, this sudden darkness of the night? The mists are rolling and tossing; there is neither Heaven above nor Earth beneath! The twi- light is darkness, the veil draws closer unto itself — and lifts not! And, lo! The tossing mists part and roll aside. Far down below a vague throng is bat- tling upwards through a golden light. They seem young and fearless, and murmurs of their struggles ascend towards us from far below. They battle nearer and nearer; upwards, always upwards do they struggle! On! Comrades, on! We cheer them from above. And on—on they come. A mist of darkness black as the night passes before them, and they are gone from our sight. “Come! Comrades, come! we cheer them in a mighty chorus. And again do the mists part from themselves, again the throng is coming nearer, and a pale light guides them 9 They are toiling ever upwards, their faces set and Yes, they dance and sing, some here, some there. And a banner bearing Sophomore leads them on. They are coming now together, slower and slower, and again the black mists below close about them, and there is darkness! In the beyond the tempests are softly dron- ing; in the far distance the heavens moan, and are “Upwards! Comrades, upwards! we cry again. And, lo! the mists are flung aside, and a com- pany marches forth into the light. Again they battle upwards towards the top—towards the Above, their faces hard and grim. And, ah! through the spaces they are seen dancing! A festal thought clears their faces of their woe, and they laugh and sing in aban- don. And as they dance and sing, a banner bearing Junior floats o'er them. And then the tempests, with the suddenness of the lightning, burst forth into fury, the mists spin in madness, and darkness is supreme. The far, faint cries from the Below reach us but dimly, and we tremble. Up! my brothers! Up! my sisters! Up!—up to the heights above! And behold! As though crushed by an unseen hand, as though smitten by a power invincible, the tempests, the mists, the darkness subside—and are gone! Up! my brother! Up! my sister! we cry again. “Up! Come up to us! And a mighty shout drifts from on. stern, and yet they seem to frolic and to play. quiet. below. The deadly blackness is no more; the mists are sunken to the depths below. A cheer colossal again reaches us from the throng beneath; they are marching triumphant towards the heights; they are coming in victory to the far Above—and a banner bearing Excelsior leads them on. They seem to be coming from the gates of a wondrous and mighty hall, of towering turrets and of white marble, a magnificent and glistening portal of shining jewels and precious metals. A path of stone as white as marble is before them, and leads them upwards, ever upwards. And a great cheer, a mighty chorus, breaks from us as they march. Oh, my brother! Oh, my sister! Come! They hurry forward; they run, they race! A rally magnificent, a last supreme struggle, a crashing cheer —and they are upon us! “Excelsior! Excelsior! Excelsior!” we cry to the heavens. “Excelsior! Ex- celsior! Excelsior! thunders back. The mists, the tempests, and the darkness are gone. Excelsior! And then all is The voices are hushed. Through the elements above flashes a ray of brilliant light! and everything is wondrous in its serene beauty. quiet. The clouds have parted, the skies are over us, The radiant glow brightens, and dazzling brilliance floods the world and shines over all. The white doves wing their course in th e far Above, and happiness is upon them. Everything is quiet in the new light of knowl- edge, all is reverently hushed. Our hands join in fra- ternity; the new vision draws our faces to the heavens above, and we gaze! Ah! and then we see, we know, we understand—and are gloriously happy! The vision holds us, the wonderlight leads us, and we glimpse at last into the beauty of the Infinite. And ‘tis then that with mighty volume and overtones of harmony, with majestic and wondrous cadence, we raise our voices and sing—and upwards to the distant skies is wafted our song beautiful. Last Will of the Class of January 1918 Before we leave the beloved scholastic circle of the Central High School for the broader highway of life we, the class of January, 1918, do solemnly be- queath the following pleasures and sorrows to those we leave behind at that worthy institution: To our successors, the 4B's, we leave those first six rooms in the auditorium, where, in huddled silence, we whispered shocking criticisms on ambitious morning haranguers. To them we modestly leave the continuance of the publication of this magazine that they may uphold its generous offering, with the hope that they may ac- knowledge truthfully their unfitness and inefficiency when it comes to editing as fine a number as this one. To them also we solemnly bequeath those splendid camps, or home rooms, as you may call them. ‘That “one-hundred-and-one ranch they may have, and may it be to them a place of refuge, holding them in check at 9 o'clock, and keeping them spellbound at 3 o'clock, the hour of liberty. That spacious room, one hundred and ten, the place of awe and solemnity, we leave to them, our suc- cessors. To the Juniors we leave the new Seniors, our would-be contemporaries, who will act as legal guides and chaperones in all Junior undertakings, who will be brothers, sisters and fathers to the ingenuous Juniors, and who will watch their every action with contempt and disgust. To the Sophomores we leave nothing but hope. We trust that they have sufficient power and skill to offset the desire of their upper classmates to overrun them. We hope for the best. For the One Bees, we pray. We should like to disregard them entirely. They are not fit subjects for consideration by magnificent Seniors. They cannot yet understand. We would that they return to their cares and hovels, and brood over their ignorance and folly. We leave them, then, with nothing but the expectation of their due chastisement. Poor fiends! To the Faculty we have much to leave in ap- preciation. We cannot forget their guiding care, their kindness, and their interest in all of us. They have taken our ignorance and our carelessness all in good will, and with a mind to forgiveness. For this we thank them. We leave them nought but words of praise and reverence. We are proud to have been their pupils, knowing we have had the best of in- struction. To Principal Wiener we wish to tender our most sincere grief on having to depart from Central High School. For four years (yes, and more for some of us), for four long years, we have come daily to these familiar walls. Perhaps none better than we know what a great friend he has been to Central, and to the cause of education as a whole. He can never be thanked enough for the personal interest he has shown in our behalf. He has trusted us and he has taught us the lesson of self-control, of self-guidance. When, in after life, we become citizens highly hon- ored, and our community becomes proud of us, we will look back and say, as did Lincoln, “To Pro- fessor Wiener, Principal and Father of the Central High School, we owe our success.” To Miss Martin we bequeath our utmost thanks (Continued on page 38) In the Studio Bv Rosert Housman GASKAE, Italy, Dec. 2.

Class Song of January ’Eighteen By RoBERT HOUSMAN Central, fairer than the fairest, Treasured as the maid of Troy! Crowning thee with glowing halo, Rise the thoughts of days of joy! As thy flag by breeze full-bosomed Flutters proudly o'er thy head, So shall we, moved by thy mem'ry, Show our pride in days long sped. CHORUS Farewell, dear Central, not goodbye; Though life unfolds anew, Thy white reminds of purer lives, Thy blue bids us be true. Faster fly the magic moments On the whispering wings of time; In our hearts, now faster throbbing, Mingle joy and pain sublime. And so January, Eighteen, leaves thee, As of fleeting years we tell; But Central, our Alma Mater, In our hearts will always dwell. [CHoRus.] Verse By Rose Baskin THE RIGHT NOT TO LAUGH In the theatre, at the party, If your sense of humor’s hearty, You must laugh. Though you find the joke’s not fu nny, Even though you don’t feel sunny, You must laugh. If you don't laugh, they will tell you, From the club we will expel you. You must laugh. For to be a jolly fellow, You must find each wit quite mellow, You must laugh. If you do not they will brand you; “Grouch and killjoy, they will hand you, You must laugh. Watch your neighbor, if he’s grinning, That's your cue, that's your beginning, Y ou must laugh. All these smiles that are expected Make me weary and dejected, Must we laugh? CORRIDOR GOSSIP While walking in the hall one day, I chanced on maidens fair and gay, All of them merrily chaffing away, Ten reps a minute they could slay. What this one wore, What that one said, What dress, what hat, Who smoked, who swore. All of this gossip, then some more, Spoke these maidens, near a score, Branding one or another a bore, What do you talk to that girl for?” Who went with him, Who took her out, Where did they go, Do you like Tim? Small wonder that those damsels fair, As shown in class, have heads of air, For Latin grammar they don't care, Math never gave them one gray hair. What kind of lace, A velvet sash ( She uses rouge Upon her face!’’) “You need a touch Of powder, dear.” ( She gads about With boys too much.” ) A gentle stab, Of malice, too. To shorten my tale: A girls’ confab. THE ANTILLES The sun beamed down on the sea, With a brilliant blessing, Parting the waves with light, Creating jewels on the water. Calm was the sea and quiet ; No burly wind interrupted The courtship of sun and wave. The sight moved even the rude clouds Hurrying from sterner regions, Staying their course, abashed and softened. Into this field of peace Rushed the Antilles, loudly proclaiming By shrieking whistle and engine, That she was the great, the wonderful transport. Hurrying ever onward, This body of iron and wood, With heart as indifferent, Emblem of Man’s hateful warfare, Watchful for the unscheduled death That lay beneath the innocent water. It came, sudden, though expected, As invisible and stealthy, As though ancient gods had clothed it With a magical cloak of darkness. Reaching its begrimed hand From the deep, and dragging the ship down, Sending our sons to wet darkness, Boys not yet shocked into manhood, With eyes open and unafraid, And alight with valor and romance. Rapidly was this enacted, Planned and directed by Science, The traitor son of Mankind. Soon were the signs of battle Impatiently brushed aside By disturbed Madame Nature, And the sun beamed down on the sea With a brilliant blessing. On Skipping By Rose BASKIN Skipping is a word sometimes applied to what little girls with patent leather belts do on sunny spring mornings, or to escaping some predestined fate. Very often the word is applied to the innocent habit of cer- tain readers of reading a few pages and cruelly ignor- Many are the pages which I know ing the following. Chap- feel neglected and hurt after such treatment. ters of description in partic ular come in for a goodly dose of skipping. Skipping has its advantages. started a poor book, we were forced by some law adding to the miseries of mankind to stick it out to the end, how much more suffering would be added to the swelling list! Also, if we could not repo rt on books unless we had to read them through entirely, how much straighter would father’s mustache look when we showed him our monthly report card! To be able to skip properly is an accomplishment. Some persons skip irregularly, according to their own fancy Suppose, if we or time, reading only the part where the heroine is carried away by the hero’s speech (and Ford) ; others (and these are the ones I envy) skip systematically, reading enough of each paragraph to give them a general idea of the whole book. Then there are people who read the first and last pages, and then talk about the book. Introduction, prefaces, explanations and notes are ordinarily skipped except by professors, spe- cialists and other people with tortoise-shell glasses. When authors realize this, much paper and ink and many eyes will be conserved, and we shall have a lower per cent. of illiteracy. There are certain rows of books in the library skipped entirely, the reader passing on to O. Henry, after looking at “The Archaeological History of the Ancient Egyptians.” Liberty Loan ads are just naturally skipped by the man supporting a wife, five children, and an epicurean cat on $15 per.

CENTRAL SERVICE CLUB The Central Service Club is closing a most success- ful term with the sale of the Red Cross stamps. The undertaken many large projects, among which is numbered the school’s campaign for the sec- ond Liberty Loan drive, conducted by the Central Service Club and attended with greater success than the first campaign. The club has placed a committee in the locker rooms between periods to safeguard stu- dents’ property. Previous to this there had been va- rious thefts committed by outsiders, due to the lack of proper locks on the outside doors of the school. A committee has been appointed to promote school spirit in athletics and school cleanliness. In accordance with its usual custom, the club recently awarded scholar- ship prizes to those students deserving them for last term. At the last meeting, in December, of the club the officers for next semester were elected, as follows: President—William Erlich. Vice-President—Raymond Davies. Secretary— William Hawkins. G. O. Delegate—Alden Schooley. club has GIRLS’ SERVICE CLUB The Girls’ Service Club will lose by graduation Rose Schaffer, Ethel Hamberger, Laura Lewandorf, Loretta Schwartz, Ellen Beckelman and Iva Sleep. The club is a power for good in the school. It has been working to enforce the rules of the school and to institute new reforms. The following are some of the things recently accomplished by the Girls’ Service Club: A student council was elected to help the girls. A mass meeting was held for uniform dress, as the girls are trying to do their bit by conserving clothes. Blue and white streamers were sold at the games. Copies of the school songs were made and distributed. A clean-up campaign was arranged. A rest room was opened for the general welfare of the girls. A committee operated in conjunction with the Central Service Club to visit different schools to see how the student organizations are run. ‘The girls made a soccer banner and took charge of the selling The club put up a bulletin board on the third floor to help the pupils who do not report to assembly. The members did everything in their power to help the school and the pupils. The officers are: Edith Timer, president; Florence Born- stein, vice-president; Genevieve Noonan, secretary, and Gladys Van Dolson, G: O. delegate. of Christmas stamps.

Never repeat when an omission occurs. Your desire to finish caused nervousness on your part and misunderstanding on ours. Blau, Leslie, December 10.—‘‘The Place of Ath- letics.in the High School Curriculum. You pre- sented some good ideas and your talk, on the whole, was very interesting. Miller, Sarah, December 11.— 'Book-cover De- signing. Hastiness and the dropping of your voice towards the end spoiled an otherwise good talk. O'Hare, Mary, December 12.— 'Punishments in the United States Army. You had some good ma- terial, but did not bring it out in a forceful manner, on account of the too mechanical tone of your voice. Plapinger, Selma, December 13.— Red Cross Xmas Stamps. A talk which can readily be classed among the best this term, due to the ease with which you enforced your appeal. Your voice, however, is a trifle too thin for so large an assembly as ours. Dr. Corson, December 18. —' The Red Cross. This demonstration would not have been complete without your presence. Baron van der Noot, December 18.— ''What Red Cross Means to Me. Who could remain mute to so stirring an appeal, which touched even the hearts of the coldest? Major McClough, December 18.— My Ex- periences in Belgium. Never were the dreadful conditions in Belgium brought home to us so strongly as you presented them. We certainly are for the Red Cross, first and last. Creuse, Earl, December 19.— 'Stenotypy and Its Advantages. Your knowledge on this subject, due to experience, was wide, and was presented to us in an interesting fashion. Trauthman, Emil, December 19.—' The Work of General Gorgas.” A good talk spoiled by your very poor position, which, by the way, is one of the im- portant essentials of making a talk a success. Lee, Albert, December 19.—‘‘John Wanamaker.” The subject was wisely chosen and you knew it well, which made it interesting for your listeners. Mr. Van Brunt, December 19.— Safety First. A few important facts which are very instructive, given in an interesting manner. Steinberg, Emma, December 21.—‘‘The Negro Question. The best talk this term. Now that you have shown us what you can do, we shall be very dissatisfied if we do not hear from you again. Hauser, Gerald, December 21.—‘‘The Chinese Play. This time you did not come up to your usual standard. S’matter, did the visitor have any influence on you? Linnick, Meyer, December 21.—‘‘The Strength of a Republican in the Time of War.

By her constant readiness to help others, she has become a favorite with all those who have come in contact with her. 29 SENIOR ATHLETES That our Seniors have been active in the athletic world can be ascertained when one but glances at the various branches of sport in which the class has celebrities. Leon Zeckhausen-has been particularly active on his team. Zeck captained interclass basketball teams. In his Sophomore and Junior years he managed the State cross-country champions and the National track champs. In his Junior year Zeck was captain of the second team in basketball, and as a climax Leon played center on our ‘varsity football, this by making the backfield on our ‘varsity football team. On the outside Zeckhausen has written for the sports depart- ment of the Newark Sunday Call. History says that all great men are dead, and Zeck says he isn't feeling any too good. Gerald Hauser, another of our class luminaries, has also made a name for himself in sportdom. Jerry played on the Sophomore and Senior interclass basket- ball teams. He ran on the Sophomore relay team, was captain of ‘varsity basketball in his Senior year, and captain Sophomore and Senior years. Theodore Augenstein, another of our letter men, has confined his activities mainly to the hill and dale sport and the cinder path. Teddy developed as a find under Coach Anderson as a Junior, and has come rapidly to the fore as a devotee of the spiked shoe. Teddy was instrumental in bringing the city ‘cross-country title to Central, racing home third over the Weequahic Park course. Harold Merz, another loyal son of January Eighteen, made a late start in athletics, but never- CEA APR a) theless made his C as a member of last season's basketball five. Dick, although not a shining light, was an essential factor in our quintet's success. Herbert Smock represented the lofty Seniors in soccerdom by playing as a back on this year's newly recognized soccer team. Smock was the backbone of the team, and, due to his efforts, Central succeeded in taking quite a few teams into camp. Walter Prosch has made his ' C2 as a member of last year's second basketball team. Wally has also played interclass basketball on the Soph team and on the Senior team. Central has probably never before had a gymnast the equal of Prosch, and, but for the fact that gymnastic work is not recognized in our official roster of sports, Walter would be sporting a big C. One acnnot help somewhat admirin the efforts of Philip Mintz. Twice Phil has played on the inter- class basketball teams—in former years as a member of the Sophs, and as a member of the 1918 class team. Phil has also worked at track. LETTERS AWARDED At the first official A. A. meeting held this semester Coach Carl Anderson, director of the or- ganization, awarded the various members of the foot- ball, cross-country and soccer teams the highly- coveted emblems. The last-named pastime, although not recognized as a major sport on Central's roster, was temporarily elevated to that position by our coaches, Messrs. Anderson and Richards. At the next A. A. meeting a vote will be taken as to the possibilities of soccer becoming a fixed institution as a major sport. After the awarding of emblems, the various teams went into conference concerning the election of captains, and when the smoke had cleared it was found that Monroe Dreher, who played end, was elected to lead the pigskin chasers next season. William Hooper was chosen to lead the hare-and- hound squad, and Harry Morchower was selected to captain the soccerites. Those awarded ‘varsity letters were: Football— Captain-elect Monroe Dreher, Sam Lonoff, Robert Drabble, Herman Greenblatt, George Rosenblume, Jules Germanus, Abe Schenckel, Henry Huber, Will- iam Weber, Leon Zeckhausen, James Russomano, Andy Pistoles, James Flockhart, Daniel Caprio, Ger- ald Hauser and Manager Walter Bird. Second team insignia were awarded Rube Budish, Leslie Blau, Kay Huff, Rudolf Munz and Frank Clark. Cross-country—Captain Leo Lalor, Captain-elect William Hooper, Theodore Augenstein, William Douglas, William Helbig, Walter Myer, Edward Rauch and Manager Frank Rocco. Edward Don- ald was given the second team C. Soccer— Captain William Fahy, Captain-elect Harry Morchower, John Storch, Frank Sasse, George Frei- bot, Fred Freibot, Herbert Smock, Paul Whetham, Eugene Donnelly, William Johnson, Victor Pennell and Manager Homer Bird. BASKETBALL PROSPECTS. Central may be surprised this winter by being able to boast of a championship basketball team. The prospects are as golden as they ever were. Joralemon, Merz, Metrione, Schwartz, Vande- veer and Captain Gerry Hauser of last year's team are all back, and, in addition, we have Rosenblume, Gabrourtz, Zeckhausen, Sherman, Soladar and Sil- ber of last year's second team. Gartenberg and Poles, formerly stars on South Side's squad, have been here for a term and are eligible for league games. This rounds up a fine squad, and, with the addi- tion of new material that will surely come out for the team, Coach Richards will paste together a champion- ship team. So here's hoping! INTERCLASS GAMES At the initial call for interclass basketball candi- dates about 100 would-be and really good basketball players responded to Coach Richards’ summons. Class elections were held, and captains and players were chosen as follows: Penn (1B)—Lonoff, S., captain. Princeton (1A)—Goldkopf, S., captain. Rutgers (2B)—Rasnick, J., captain. Michigan (2A)—Silber, S., captain. Harvard (3B)—Gabrowitz, L., captain. Syracuse (3A)—Gartenberg, F., captain. Columbia (4B)—Oxman, P., captain. Yale (4A)—Zeckhausen, L., captain.

PRESSLER Business Manager RAY M. BODWELL .Circulation Manager EDITORIAL COMMENT To Make the World a Decent Place to Live In O make the world a decent place to live in” is a slogan on one of the posters of the Third Liberty Loan. What are you doing to make that slogan not merely a saying but a living reality? The German hordes, who respect neither woman nor child, are try- ing to sweep over the whole world and make it a place in which no freeman shall live. In order to foil these horrible schemes of the “Beast of Berlin the entire resources of the civilized world are being drawn upon. Our brothers and friends are giving their life-blood to protect our homes, yours and mine. What are we doing to help these gallant men? What can you do to help in standing back of the man behind the gun? There are dozens of ways in which each and every one of you can help. You can become a member of the Junior Red Cross and spend your time in helping them make bandages for the men over there. You can; if you don't, why don't you? You can save up your pennies and buy War-Savings and Thrift stamps. Every stamp you lick helps lick the Kaiser. You can; if you don't, why don't you? Boys, the army needs all the food and men it can get. The farmers need help. Volunteer for the farms and help pro- duce the food supply and in this way release a man for the front. If your marks are not good enough now to have you excused, get to work and grind; it's the patriotic duty of every strong, able-bodied boy to do his part to help win the war. If he isn’t in the trenches then he ought to be in the fields. You could volunteer if you would. If you haven't, why haven't you? These are only a few of the things that Young America can do to help defeat the fiends that crucify women and children and torture old men and helpless prisoners. That last statement is the absolute truth, as shown by the archives of the French Department of Justice, from evidence secured in the path of the retreating Huns. This is what we are fighting, this horrible menace of Kultur and Prussian militarism and terrorism. Centralites, Americans, show us what you're made of! You are as true blue as the color in Central's standard. Put your shoulder to the wheel and give it your little push. Help to make the world a decent place to live in! Everyone can do his bit! Zf vou are not doing your bit, why aren't you? Seniors! Farewell to Central E, the class of June, nineteen eighteen, are about to drop out of Central's life and remain but a memory. As we look back on our high school career, we find that it was all too short for us. But we know that old man Experience awaits us outside of our dear Alma Mater, with his proverbial cudgel. We recall how we felt as we mounted the platforms in the respective public schools from which we were graduated. Then the thought of attending high school, just to think of it! We could barely wait through the summer months. This was the first vacation that really did seem too long. The momentous day arrived. The feeling that aroused in our hearts as we approached Central! How we were impressed by that wonderful building! What dreams! What expectations! But our spirits were quickly lowered at the end of the first week. It seemed as though we had gotten into the wrong place. By the end of the first term we had much of our freshness taken out by the teachers, the upper-class- men, and the heavy work. Our ranks were thinned considerably when we became |A's. But then we knew how to get along. We were the privileged ones then. We could smile haughtily at the IB's. In our Sophomore year most of us became connected with some school activity. In 3B we were beginning to count our subjects and the time needed to graduate. But our real recognition as a class came when we were officially organized April 16, 1917, as the class of June, 18. Officers were elected and the chess motto was chosen. Next term we reorganized and presented our prom. ‘The last rung in the ladder has almost been reached. Our day of glory has almost arrived. One may see at any time dignified seniors strutting about the building. With heads aloof they seem to be cautious of their privileges and importance. They march proudly into the front seats of the audi- torium each morning. After this function, each senior seems, as he ascends the stairway, to monopolize its entire breadth. But at last the supreme day is nearing. As we look out upon the world, a long new road full of promise and hope stretches out before us. We leave the halls of Central full of determi- nation to conquer, and to make our Alma Mater proud of us as alumni. WILLIAM ERLICH. Looking Backward E all remember the time we first entered Central. We were thrilled by the mag- nificence of the wonderful building that We were elated that we jut all these confronted us. were allowed to attend such a school. thrills and wonderments were smashed when one of the heartless upper classmen did us the injustice ol calling us IB's. All the joy went out of life; we felt like quitting these tormentors and Central, but a stronger impulse came over us and we resolved that we would stick. That upper-classman did us more good than he can imagine, for he stirred the thing in us that made us resolve to suc ceed. As following terms passed, we were often tempted by the salaries offered us; yet we determined not to be slackers but to stick to school to the finish. Many times we have thought our work too hard (naturally not blaming ourselves), but such adversity, after all, only spurred us the more. Now, when we reach the highest point in our high school career, we begin to feel rather sorry that our stay at Central is growing shorter and shorter. In our.senior year a warmer feeling seems to spring up between the faculty and ourselves. Our classrooms seem also to take on a much more pleasant atmosphere. Then, finally, when we graduate we shall feel that the faculty and the principal have given us their best and if we have not gained in knowledge it has been our own fault. Advice to the Graduate Job-Hunter EXT month about eighty young men and women will graduate from Central. A few of these graduates are undecided as to what kind of position they would prefer to take. Some young people like to drift along with the tide; they put things off from day to day, always hoping that fate will cast them in the right place. But Dame Fortune does not come to those who exert no energy. The job-hunter should always look before he leaps. Never take the first position that comes along unless you have thoroughly analyzed yourself and the job and then if you are sure the two agree as lo general requirements, then and only then are you fitted for this particular position. Always remember it is always the first step that counts; it may make or break you, according to how it is taken. Senior Class Song By ELIZABETH A. MIELE Arthur Gordon has written the music. for We are seniors—we're at Central, And within an hour or so We'll say good-bye to Central High, Out in the world to go. Though there's joy in our achievements, We cannot help but sigh. Tis with heavy heart that we depart From dear old Central High. this song, which is to be sung at the graduation exercises We are happy—we are merry, Just as joyful as can be, High school days were jolly days, Oh, seniors bright are we. Though our struggles here are over, We seniors all can tell How our hearts grieve since we must leave The school we love so well. Chorus. Central High! Central High! How we grieve to say good-bye, To thy colors White and Blue We shall e’er be loyal and true. Great thy name, wide thy fame, It shall e'er remain the same. Oh, we're aware none can compare With dear Central High. ———— Th, NABEN Central's Farewell to Seniors By ELIZABET hailed in ND we l scholastic terms, are ready to sally torth seniors, as we are into the world, “To roam o'er land, lo sail o'er sea, Wherever lies our destiny.” Nothing fatalistic about this. For in these truly remarkable, stirring times, who knows what the youth and young womanhood of today, departing from dear old Central for evermore, will be called upon to do? A great many lads will join the army and navy ranks, as many are doing today. A great many girls will become Red Cross nurses, as the need for them in- And they will answer the call whenever it comes and from for they are Centralites, and Central boys and girls will never sit on the fence while our boys and the patriots of our allies give up the last drop of their blood for freedom Yes, varied, indeed, will be the paths they will fol- low, and numerous the tasks they will perform. This is an age wherein strange happenings occur almost over night. An age in which nothing is too strange to be true. For example, with what com- placency have we all, recently—the whole country catered to the whims and delicate fancies of Father Time, who, desiring to be a trifle more speedy in this age of increased efhciency, has urged the hands of his many clocks to rush on an hour ahead. How sub- missive we are in doing things just one hour sooner than we have been wont to do them! Yes, strange things are happening. We used to dictate to Father Time; now he dictates to us. Things are very much creases. wherever it comes; H A. MIELI reversed. Let us optimistically declare, however, that this is for better, not for worse. And how has this reversed manner of things af fected graduation? A great deal. For instance, in the past seniors were in the habit of showering profuse thanks upon their Alma Mater for all she had done for them, for all that she meant to them, for all that they hoped to achieve with what she had taught them as a foundation. And in those passing thoughts they never failed to state with fervor in their voices and earnestness in their faces, how sad they were to depart and dear Central would be to them forever. And we cannot refute this. We cannot say that the past Seniors did not mean it, for we feel that way ourselves, now. You all will feel that way, for grad- uation from high school takes place just once in four lives. You meet a friend whom you vow never to Yet when you go out into the world, and meet other friends and are in a different environment, you discover that unless it is an exceptional case, you had only a passing fancy for the other one, due to constant association at school. But there is just onc Central High School from which vou can graduate, and it will not be forgotten. As I have said, times are reversed. how lorget. Now you no longer bid your Alma Mater farewell, but as you step from the platform with that coveted document, your diploma, in your hands, as you make your last descent from that threshold you have known for four long years, Central whispers a passing thought to vou. You behold Central, not a figurehead, but alive, body and soul, whispering enthusiastically, softly: O passing senior, Though the day has come for you to part, And seek your chosen way, The White and Blue will cheer your heart No matter where you stray. Though rugged and rough that path may be, Which carries you far from home, Central's spirit will be near, No matter where you roam. These simple lines are written with attempt at neither rhyme nor rhythm. But doesn't the thought strike home? Doesn't it make you feel that bearing in mind all your Alma Mater has given you, when she asks to be remembered — just remembered, she is ask- ing only a small thing? Let us feel that we shall like to hear always that sweet refrain ring in our ears when we are far away from this, our school. We all detect the lingering hope in Central's sweet passing thought. Let us pledge ourselves that in days to come she shall never be forgotten. Truly that simple tribute which Abraham Lincoln paid to his dying mother befits our Alma Mater, if we say that all we are and ever hope to be, we owe to our dear Central.” June 1918's Prophecy By EDITH M. TIMER S I sat in my spacious office on the 56th Newark United Aero- plane Building, Inc, I thought of all the school-mates I had floor of the Service kept in touch with since my graduation in June, 1918. Situated there in the midst of the business section of our fair city, corner Farley and Clinton Avenues, I could hear the hum of the busy world about me. How things had changed since the World War! I longed to talk over ‘‘old times with some one, and much to my joy the door of my office opened and my old chum, Flor- ence Bornstein, walked in. She had just returned from a continental tour and was about to announce her marriage to a certain young Stevens graduate. After congratulations had been satisfactorily dis- pensed with, we had a good old-fashioned talk. Said Florence: Do you know, Edith, I saw so many of our Centralites abroad. Our class president, William Ehrlich, entertained me at the “Republic Building’ in United Germany. | He's President now, you know. That's one fellow that everyone predicted would make his way in the world, I answered. ‘“Whom else did you see?” In the same city, Linber, I met many of our former classmates. Russel Brubaker, Abe Gold- blatt, Aaron Horland and Morris Davis were teachers at the university. And who do you think was the president of the college? Little Sam Franzblau, our class baby! “The opera house is run by Arthur Gordon, who has under him a very large staff. Dominic Milone and Albert Lee are electricians. Quite a few of our girls are singing in the opera. They are: Frieda Cohen, Rose Ostrowsky, Helen Clawans, Rose Cole- man, Fanny Rothhouse, Blanche Schaffer and Mamie Francis. I heard them sing, too, and they certainly are a credit to Mr. Smith.” So many of our fine class in Linber and how different it is in that city now! I thought, and said aloud unconsciously, So many years! Do you re- member how ten of our boys enlisted in the army as soon as they graduated? “Yes, I do; and, strange to say, eight of them have taken honors. Meyer Kellman was decorated for bravery under fire, and is now practising law in Paris. Stephen Nowinski, William Johnson, Earl Crouse, Irving Friedman, Jay Morrison and Max Lowitz received honorable discharges. They were so at- tached to the Continent that they did not want to leave Europe and have formed a society in Petrograd which is connected with the American Embassy. They are assisted by four girls, who help in the enter- taining of Americans. These four are Adelia Fergu- son, Cel ia Gipfel, Minnie Goldsmith and Esther Goldstein. And by the way, I suppose you know that H. Norman Collier is ambassador? Yes, I heard that a couple of weeks ago. Now let me tell you what I know of our class in America. In this building we manufacture aeroplanes and also have a transportation. depot on the roof. Our stenographers in the next room were provided by the Central Employment Bureau and are very fine typists. Genevieve Bland, Anna Haluska, Rose Meyerson, Jeanette Reich, Elsie Weich and Sadie Yeskel com- prise the famous sextet who have the world's record for speed. We have some of the prettiest girls run- ning the aeroplanes—you'll see them when we go upstairs later. Alice Gibbs, Lauretta Lang and Fannie Katz are known as famous aviatresses. I glanced at my anklet watch. “My goodness! It's 12:30 already, and I have an engagement at the United Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Mice and Rats,’ in Chicago, at 2:00 P. M. Come, we must have some lunch and leave immediately.” We ascended in a private elevator to the 216th floor of the building and stepped into a very pretty pale-blue aeroplane limousine. “This ‘plane was designed by two of the cleverest (Continued on page 46) OUR ALPHABETICAL SENIORS By ELIZABETH A.

'J's cause me but slight relief: [here's Johnson's to dispel my grief; Miss Jamouneau's, too, fills a line; That's not so bad we're doing fine! K Then Keller, of football player's frame, And Kunkel, sprinter rare—of fame. If Kellman were not here we'd say Our athletes’ names all start with “K!” L We view in all this wild harangue [he Misses Lilliston and Lang, And then there's Lee and young Lallone, Whom melancholy calls her own. M Miss Myerson in M's we view, Ever happy—never blue, And Morrison and then Milone “Nuff sed let's leave these lads alone.

S All in the S's then occur: Soffel, Silverstein and Scher, And Emma Steinberg, maid of smiles, Full of quips and wanton wiles. Baby Storch, too, greets my eye; When he leaves, the maids will sigh! T And then Miss Timer— breaks our heart To set so fair a maid apart But—keeping things in order, we Will have to place her under T.

Y Miss Yeskel—her name's under Y, But that's no reason she should sigh, For though it's last and all alone She has five lines all her own. (So there, little girlie, don’t you cry!) Winning the War With Liberty Bonds By RAYMOND W. Davies (Selected as the best essay in the recent contest open to the entire school) HEN will the slaughter end? When will the storm which is convulsing the face of the universe, that is paralyzing the peaceful and productive industries of the world, that is founded on the doctrine of the rule of the glittering sword and the iron fist, cease? When will it end? It will end when the uncon- querable forces of freedom, sweeping forward like an irresistible tidal wave, overwhelm the followers of the rule of blood and iron. Of what is this tidal wave composed? [t is composed of men, equipment and supplies. We have the men, but we need the equipment and supplies. Equipment and supplies mean money. The Third Liberty Loan is one of the means by which our government is raising this money. It is costing the government ten billion dollars a year to run this war. Only one-fifth of this money can be raised by taxation; the rest must be lent to the gov- ernment by the people. It is our privilege to lend this money to the United States. The people of England have not been at war for only one year; they have been fighting ceaselessly for four long, gray, weary years. Each one of these years has brought forth its war loans. Every one of those loans has been quickly taken up. We see pictures of long lines of men and women waiting for the offices to open so that they may subscribe to the war loans. That is the spirit of England! That is the indomitable English spirit that gives its life blood for freedom and then gives its hard-earned money, that gives and fights until there is nothing more left. Napoleon said at the battle of Waterloo, I have had those English beaten for three hours and they don't know it! You can't beat an Englishman, for he doesn't know when he is beaten. America is England's brother. We speak the same tongue as the English, we have the same customs and we have the same indomitable, unconquerable spirit. And over this all we are fighting for a common cause, FREEDOM! We are fighting to make the world a decent place to live in! But we can't fight without money, any more that we can fight without trained men, and in order to train men we must have money! Liberty Bonds mean money. If you ques- tion in your own minds whether or not the atrocities of Germany and its terrible menace to the satety of the world are exaggerated, look at the following lists of unanswerable facts. Facts, not stories or rumors. Facts, proved by eye witnesses, photographic evi- dence, and diplomatic records, and then remember: That Germany began this war! That it is the supreme effort of forty years of preparation! That she has the most perfect, most horrible mili- tary machine the world has ever known! (Continued on page 37) PIVOTEER An Eighteenth-Century Periodical Essay Vol. III., No. 3 May 1918 Here today and gone tomorrow.” HIS beautiful Month of May, dear to the Heart of every Lover of Nature, the Pivoteer will endeavor to make you with that Seniors, we shall better acquainted erudite Body of Students call them, that stroll around the School with all-important Air and look forward with much Joy and happy Expectation to the greatest of all Life's Ventures—Graduation from the Central High School. With what majestic Air and studious guise do They stride, these learned Creatures! As a Group They verily believe They have neither Peer nor Rival. As Individuals, each and every One wonders how the School will ever manage to exist without Them. We behold, while sauntering through Central's Halls, our old Friend Genevieve Genius, who, sur- rounded by a Group of “‘too-polite to exit Seniors, is illustrating with a Series of truly remarkable Ges- tures her latest Interview with the long-suffering Pho- tographer, in connection with her Picture for the Senior Pivot. Frieda Frivolous, of time-defying Fame, hastens upon the Scene with a Set of Proofs, which, according to her, do her rank Injustice. Upon hearing the Photographer's Name mentioned, She in- terrupts the Conversation and further augments the Circle by relating her amusing, yet none the less “‘dis- tressing, Experience with the Photographer. She wins the whole-hearted Approval of all when she states that the Photographer bade her “‘look natural” in taking her Picture, and she emphatically informed Him that, desiring an especially good Picture of Her- self for this exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime Occasion, She would not look natural. And upon this truly fascinating Scene comes Billy Bright, President of the Senior Class. Striding with much seniorial Dignity towards this Leisurely Group, and with frown bearing Evidence of many weighty Problems on the Mind, he anxiously inquires when They will attend the Meeting on the second Floor. They are no sooner reminded of this important—nay, let us call it, vital Matter, than they hasten up the Stairs. In the midst of this Act Edith Ever-tardy throws both her Hands wildly into the Air, halts her Progress, stares helplessly at the Girls, and then, as if moved by Impulse, dashes madly down the Stairs. She returns a few moments later, much to the relief of her sorely puzzled, distressingly disconcerted Friends, with a recovered knitting Bag under her arm—the Object of her hasty Departure. At the Meeting, the Pivoteer notes this seated Group, aspiring to honorable Discharge. The Veterans, who are remembered by past grad- uates as Fellow-students when the first Brick was laid down for what was to be called “Central High School, are distinguished from the regular Students with no great difficulty. They are impatient with any Business that is conducted and bored, since to them it is all ancient History. Indeed, when in a talkative Mood, they might prove of some value in offering Suggestions as to how certain senior Classes efficiently managed Affairs two or three Years ago. With Jack-in-the-box-like Motion, Gilbert Grind rises from his seat and offers a Chain of brilliant Sug- gestions, which not even a highly-organized Govern- ment could properly carry out. He is several times rapped to order by the Class President, but feeling that He has amassed all the ponderous knowledge which can possibly be gained in a High School, He will talk on, until wearily, despondently, the President requests that a Motion come from one of the Members that the Meeting be adjourned. Thus does the Pivoteer decide, that: Nothing which has ever happened in School History; nothing which can ever happen in Centuries to come, will ever dislodge Graduation from Her proud Position as the Day of Days.

Track Team (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) ; Gym Exhibition (5) ; all around gymnastic championship, C. H. S. (5). Who knows Bill without liking him? His activities are few, but his good points are many. Bill is one of Central's best all-round ath letes, and we are sure that he will be successful in his prospective voca- tion as a gym instructor. BERGER, CLARENCE, 831 South Seventeenth Street Technical. Prospects: Stevens. Siudious of ease and fond of humble things.” Wireless Club (3, 4, 5), Secretary (4, 5); Technical Club (7, 8), Secretary (8); W. H. Debating Society (7) ; Electrical Club (8), President (8). Among the many silent students of Central we find Clarence, a studious lad, who thinks a great deal but says very little. BLAND, GENEVIEVE, 77 Clinton Avenue Commercial. Prospects: Business. “Play's the word with her. Prize-speaking Contest (7). In Genevieve we have an orator and a student. From Genevieve's proficiency in these two lines we must admit she has natural ability and energy. It is, therefore, to be wondered at that she has not a longer list of activities. Or has concentration on studies brought her success? BORNSTEIN, FLORENCE L. 671 High Street General. Prospects: Business. “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” Girls’ Service Club (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8): Vice-President (7, 8) ; Girls’ Patriotic Knitting Club (7, 8); G. O. Delegate (7, 8); Girls’ Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4, 8); Webster-Hayne (1, 2, 3, 4). Who will ever forget Peggy? Generally when a girl is silent we are at a loss as to what to say about her, but of Peggy's remarkable school spirit, delightful disposition, charming manners and sympathetic nature, we could write volumes. BRIECHLE, HENRY, 178 South Orange Avenue Technical. Prospects: Stevens Institute. “The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Webster-Hayne (5, 6, 7); Wireless Club (2, 3, 4, 5, 6); Technical Club (7, 8); G. O. Delegate (8); Electrical Club (8); Secretary (8) ; C. S. C. (7, 8). Henry knows the value of co-operation. That's why we find he has been a member of so many clubs. He has done excellent work along technical lines. A quiet, plodding fellow, a real student, he has sacrificed his love for books and grasped the hoe to raise products for Uncle Sam. BROWN, ABRAHAM, 165 South Orange Avenue Technical.

Here is a fellow who has spent his time to the best of both his and Central's advantage. Strange how, whenever a business man was needed to serve on the committee directing a school function, everyone thought of Brown. The fellow who tries to fill his place will have to have the ability of an efficiency expert. BRUBAKER, RUSSELL H., 489 South Orange Avenue Commercial. Prospects: Cooper Institute. Nature may stand up and say to all the world, ‘This is a man.’ Assistant Manager Employment Bureau (5, 6, 7, 8); Central Service Club (7, 8); Senior Pivot Board (8). Here we have a live-wire boy. Russell does everything with thor- oughness and intensity. Brubaker is so in earnest in all he does that he very often forgets to smile. For goodness sake, Russell, smile! That's all we have against you. COHEN, FRIEDA, 29 Hillside Place Commercial. Prospects: Undecided. She makes no friend, who never made a foe. W. W. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5); Barnstormers (1, 2. 3); Basketball (6, 7); Girls’ A. A. (8). The girl with the smile! Here she is! Our own comical Frieda. Odd girl—very emotional—she is as easily moved to tears on being reproved on a matter of principle as she is on other occasions to laughter. We wonder how she will reconcile herself to the world and its people. We're glad you didn't leave us two years ago, when you wanted to, Frieda. COLEMAN, ROSE, 69 Springfield Avenue General Course. Prospects: Normal School. Girls’ A. A. (8); Knitting Club (6, 7, 8); Science Club (7). A modest, reserved girl is Rose, who has little to say unless it directly concerns herself. By her activities we judge her to be athletic, patriotic and scientific we will say no more. CROUSE, EARL, 39 North Fourteenth Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. Labor is itself a pleasure.” Webster-Hayne (7, 8). Earl is the diminutive member of our class. In his activities out- side of school, though, he is a hustler. That's what the world wants, Earl. Keep it up! Davies, RAYMOND W., 80 Broad Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Manager of Employment Bureau (4, 5, 6, 7); C. S. C. 5. 6, 7) ; Vice-President (7); Pivot Board (6, 7); City Editor 7); Senior Prvot Board (7) ; Winner Old-English C (5, 6); unior Four-Minute Man (8). Some day Ray will be a prosperous business man. The quota- tion above means that when Ray has the floor either at a Pivot Board meeting or a class meeting, he has a good deal to say. However, he has demonstrated fine school spirit and has been a very diligent stu- dent at all times. ( ( ] Davis, MoRRis, 472 South Seventeenth Street College Preparatory.

Mandolin Club (4); Barnstormers (5); Journalist Club (4, 5, 6, 7, 8); Webster-Hayne (6, 7, 8); Latin Club (6). The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but we shall never forget Davis. He's been the lad with the smile and the lad worth while during his whole high-school career. His life at school seems to be of the Hence-loathed-melancholy type, and we shall remember him as Happy Boy! DONNELLY, CLARA, 558 North Fourth Street Commercial. Prospects: Business. “Character and intellect go hand in hand.” Another one of the quiet and reserved type. Clara has been a good student and will be principally remembered as a loyal classmate.

On the favored list we have bearing the names of those who have done much for Central, we shall place Billy’s name. In his efforts to please his fellow-students he has been untiring, in his love for our Alma Mater he has been faithful. What more can be said of aty Centralite FEINBERG, ROSE, 45 Barclay Street College Preparatory. Prospects: Columbia. Short and sweet.” W. W. Debating (7); Barnstormers (8); Girls’ A. A. (8). Rose has not been with us during her entire school career, and she has made us feel that we have missed the companionship of a jolly, good-natured girl. FRIEDMAN, IRVING, 77 South Street College Preparatory Prospects New York University he right fellow in the right place. W. H. (7, 8); Latin Club, President (5, 6). Why Irving has not a longer list of activities we leave to him to answer Judging from his scl career,’ the general opinion 1s that he was too busy with his books. It is, therefore, not his activities which have made him popular, but his reputation as a good student. GEBEL, CECILIA, 210 South Orange Avenue Commercial Prospects: Business. Mv own thoughts are mv companions.” Girls’ A, A. (8) Cecilia is a diligent worker and has made it a policy to attend strictly to her own affairs She has mingled so little with her class- } | mates that it is hard to write her up in the manner she deserves.

Continued on page 38 ww TD 化 Senior Athletics Although not many of our seniors have been active in athletics, those that have been active have made brilliant records. Among the senior athletes Earle Kunkel is a shin- ing light. He has been a famous sprinter since his arrival at Central. During his first and second year here he won either second or third place in every race. In his third year he distinguished himself by winning the 220-yard low hurdle championship. He was also the victor in winning the 100-yard city championship. In his last year he won first place in the half and in the quarter-mile. At Central’s Indoor Meet he won the National Interscholatsic Quarter-mile Champion- ship. William Bauer is another of our star athletes. He first distinguished himself in the shot-put at the East Orange Meet two years ago. Last year he won the 12-pound shot-put city championship and took sec- ond place in the national interscholastic shot-put championship. Bauer has distinguished himself as an all-round gymnast and is one of the best athletes in the school. Another of the athletes is Red Johnson. Al- though he did not make the varsity, he nevertheless captained the winning interclass relay team at the Central Meet. He has a good head for planning and he will be a good runner in the near future. John Storch, another of our senior athletes, dis- tinguished himself in soccer. He made the varsity soccer team and got his C . He was also on the relay team. The others on the 4A Relay Team are: Browe: Woodward, Charles O'Connor, Joe Waldman, Loyal Medley, Ralph Mead and Abe Silverstein. Girls! Athletic Association The Girls’ A. A. got a running start and has been hitting it up ever since. Att their first organization meeting in the auditorium the following officers were elected: Freda Satz, president; Emma Steinberg, secretary; Rose Gubleman, treasurer. A basketball schedule was prepared and teams organized as follows: Seniors—Freda Satz, Emma Steinberg, Pauline Wagman, Sadie Yeskel, Jeanette Reich, Florence Bornstein. Juniors—Rose Gubleman, Nellie Weitzman, Sadie Cohen, Leonore Kempler, Julia Minder. Sophomores—Elsie Myer, Gertrude Fantl, An- netta Fein, Bertha Danko, Bertha Narbden. The results of the first games that were played in the gym on the afternoon of April 10 are: Juniors 9, Seniors 8; Juniors 23, Sophomores 3. If the Seniors beat the Sophomores a series of three games will be played between the Juniors and the Seniors. These games will decide which team is the champion. The girls on the championship team will each receive a silver basketball at the end of the season. Jolly Seniors’ Joyful Jests ADVICE TO THE WORRIED NoteE—Owing to the enormous quantity of letters value will be published here. Since only the most are left to imagine what the other five hundred were Dear Editor: I was driving the car up in the Hillside section the other day and bumped into a Ford. I received a court summons the following day, and paid for injury to the Ford. The owner of the Ford, however, put up a plea that he was internally injured from the shock when the cars met, and claims heavy damages. He seems, however, in perfect health. Do you think he is really entitled to collect damages when he seems, to all appearances, uninjured? Damagingly yours, MILTON SOFFEL. Milton, dear, perhaps by this time the poor man is really injured. He no doubt lied so much to the jury in an attempt to get those damages that he has strained his conscience.—Fditor. Dear Editor: We were recently asked by our teacher to write a story on a classmate. I wrote about a girl I knew, and overcome by the desire to be witty I forgot my- self, deformed the truth, and told lies about her. I tried to make myself believe, for a time, that the only way to be witty was to tell lies, but it does not seem logical. As a personal request I would rather you did not publish my name. Yours hopelessly, Dear Hopeless Case, I don’t blame you for not wanting your name published. It was a thoughtless and cowardly act, but possibly unintentional, To be witty you must not always be telling lies. If that were the case some people would be the wittiest people in the world. However, since you are only a senior and not-quite-grown-up-yet, it is a good thing that you learned that lesson early. I do not believe you will resort to doing such a thoughtless thing again. Dear Editor: lo settle an argument, before we graduate, will you please define space for us. We know it is a silly request, but it has been troubling us very much, ever since we started thinking of senior exams. Spaciously yours, EARL KUNKEL, WILLIAM ERLICH, Brower WooDWARD. received inthis depariment only episiles of educational ensible letters are answered in this column, the readers like. —E ditor. My dear scientific boys, your request is certainly strange. Space is so empty we can't define it fully. However, I'll do my best. Space is very large. It is immense, very immense. A great deal of im- mensity exists in space. It is larger in the craniums of that human species termed Won Bees. As they go on, however, it fills up. Sometimes it fills up too rapidly so that we find when some have reached the senior state they have “swelled heads. Space has no top, no bottom. In fact it is bottomless both at the bottom and at the top. Space extends as far forward as it does backward and vice versa. Dear Editor: Before we graduate we must write a composition on the Earth, on what it is, and on what the greatest scientists say about it. You can’t imagine what we are up against. We would like to have you give us some information upon it. Scientifically yours, WILLIAM BAUER, JOHN STORCH, Leo HALPERN, FLORENCE BORNSTEIN, GENEVIEVE NOONAN, EvELYN HauPTMAN, PEARL Ostrow, JuLius PEYSER. ISADORE KELLER, You dear progressive students, what a truly intel- lectual question! In the first place, the Earth is that body in the solar system which most of the seniors re- side upon, and which some of you, I regret to say, modestly desire to own. Here are a few sacrifices which some scientists have made on your behalf in order that you may not grow up in ignorance. are the blessed privileges which, along with life, lib- erty and happiness, are yours to anticipate, yours to participate, yours to precipitate. Newton claimed that the earth would gradually dry up and become porous, and that water would at last become a curiosity Many believe this and are rapidly preparing their systems by a rigid course of treatment— using less of it —externally. Other scientists, who have sat up nights to monkey with the solar system and thereby shattered their nervous system, cla im that the earth is getting top- heavy at the north pole, and that one of these days when we are thinking of something else, the great weight of accumulated ice, snow, and the vast accu- mulation of second-hand Arctic-relief expeditions will I hese 31 jerk the earth out of its present position with so much spontaniety, and in such an extremely forthwith man- ner, that many people will be permanently strabis mused and much bric-a-brac will be for sale at a great sac rifice. This may or may not be true. I have not been up in the Arctic regions to investigate its truth or falsity, though there seems to be a growing sentiment throughout Central in favor of my going.

Students Urge You The Machine Way To Choose Stenotypy ia shorthand ECAUSE of their greater speed, greater accu- racy and higher all 'round efficiency, Steno- typists have come to be recognized everywhere as far better than ordinary stenographers. It is to this class that you should belong—the class that holds the best positions and receives the highest salaries. A Great Opportunity For You To you is open an opportunity that C. H. S. students of five years ago never had. It is the opportunity to learn stenotypy right in your school and with machines furnished for your use. It is an opportuni- ty of which thousands and thousands of young people have taken advantage. And it has brought them choice positions and rapid promotion Business— Civil Service—Court Reporting You may want to enter business as a capable, efficient secretary, able to take the most difficult dictation at any rate of speed You may want to enter Civil Service where starting salaries range from $1,000 to $1,500 a year, where hours are short and oppor- tunities for higher education plentiful Or you may wish to be a court reporter with a salary of $5.00 to $10.00 a day and transcript work extra. In any case, Stenotypy will prove the fastest, surest and best way for you to gain à lucrative position. Stenotypy—What It Is Stenotypy holds all world’s records for speed and accuracy in re- cording speech. It is a system of plain English spelling with the silent letters dropped. The word street 1s written S-T-R-E-T. Stenotype notes are the same whether written hurriedly or slowly Stenotypy is written on the Stenotype—the fastest writing machine in the world The Stenotype is noiseless, similar in construction to a typewriter, but much smaller and lighter. It writes—prints words—often whole phrases—at a single stroke. Instead of striking only one key at a time, as in typewriting, Stenotypists strike three, six, nine or as many keys as are necessary at the same time. As fast as the words are spoken, the whole word is printed in plain legible type. Within the next few weeks you will choose your courses for the next semester. Read what two Stenotypists say at the right of this page. Stenotypy has proved best for them just as it has for thousands of others—just as it will for YOU. Therefore, elect Stenotypy, the machine way in shorthand, as one of next year's courses. The Stenotype Company INDIANAPOLIS Read What These Former C. H. S. Students Say | took Stenotypy in my third year at the Central High School. Before this, I had tak en a term of shorthand yet knew practically nothing about it. It was a jumble of hooks and curves, straight lines and slanting ones. | soon learned how easy Stenotypy was, how fascinating and how sensible. After a year in Stenotypy I could take dictation just as fast as—and sometimes faster than —students who had taken shorthand three years! When I graduated, | secured a good position with a large publishing house in New York City through the Stenotype Employment Bureau. | am still in this place, and my fu- ture is very bright In this office there are four Stenotypists and about fifteen shorthand writers. When there is some particularly difficult work to be done the Stenotypists are given the preference. We are all young and have been in the business world only a short time yet in every case we have jumped right over the heads of the older more experienced girls—stenographers who have been employed by this concern many years It is very encouraging to know that our em- ployers have such a high opinion of Stenotypy They all think it is far superior to Stenography in both speed and accuracy Very truly yours, Dorothea Daniel Having taken Stenotypy in the Central High School of Newark, I highly recommend it for the following reasons: It is the most rapid form of Stenography ; the outlines cannot be misinterpreted in rapid dictation. The Steno- typist is able to take notes in the dark, as at a lecture. Stenoty py is also much more quickly learned than shorthand Am at present employed at Scott Bowne, Bloomfield, N. J. receiving a good salary. Hoping this will encourage others to take the most efficient system of shorthand—Stenoty py I am, Very truly yours, Ruth L. Benz. Master Model Stenotype. Weight 414 lbs.

Oh, look—did you see that red 'plane that just went by? Evelyn Hauptman, the most daring racer of today, was in it, and beside her was our old friend Addie Gray. They still travel together even though Addie is a very popular movie actress and Evie is a dare-devil speedster. Last week she broke the record—flew from New York to San Francisco in- four hours. How wonderful—oh! but I forgot to tell you of the most important happening: Genevieve Noonan is court jester to Charles O'Connor, now the king of free Ireland. These two have realized their life-long ambitions and have sworn never to leave Ireland again.” We had now arrived at the restaurant, where we ate hurriedly. This hotel is famous all over the United States. The manager's name is Wilkens—our old friend, Ludo, from Central. See that pretty girl over there with the young officer? It's Bea Jamoue neau and her husband—her name is Bauer now. Yes, Bill is the lucky fellow. Another of our class, John Storch, has also become a married man. Of course, you know it's A. A. Right behind you (don't look now) is Sue Gelman and her friend Hilda Deutsch. They are full-fledged society ladies now—just as they aspired to be at Central. Come, we'll have to leave at once, as we're due in Chicago in twenty-five minutes. Inside the 'plane again we were silent, but every few minutes we waved as we passed some old friend. All the business men were going back to work after luncheon, and among those present were: Samuel Handel, Isador Keller, Reuben Scher, Paul Nillson, Leo Halpern, Henry Briechle and Herbert Haufler. On arriving at our destination, Flo and myself were greeted by the President of the “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Mice and Rats, Miss Zelda Hoffman. She introduced the speaker of the after- noon, who was none other than Miss Elizabeth A. Miele, our Ed.-in-Chief. Miss Miele spoke from her actual experiences gained from years of research and quoted from one of her books. Her speech was supplemented by one made by Miss Emma Stein- berg, who quoted a passage from each of Miss Miele's seventy-six books. She was accompanied by Mr. Gerald Hauser, the only man present. Gerry was still as popular with the fair sex as ever. After much urging, he addressed the assembly, and told some of his experiences in the World War. He displayed fourteen medals which he had won, and became the center of an admiring throng. We hastened back to Newark again to be present at the dress rehearsal of the revival performance of Chu Chin Chow at the Newark Aerialdrome. It was quite difficult to decide where to stage the production, I told Florence. “We investigated all 46 the forty-seven theatres in Newark and decided on this one as the best. You see, it has a fine location, here on one of our busiest streets Nairn Place and besides, it is run by one of our old friends. Earl Kunkel is the general manager. He runs the theatre very well, with first-class productions (he always ran well at Central, didn't he? Remember the Central Indoor Meets?). And he has with him the most famous actress—and the most popular—our chum, Selma Plapinger. You know she displayed dramatic talent at Central, and now we find her starring in all the new productions. We also have a Ziegfeld Beauty chorus of which Sophie Horrowitz, Rose Feinberg, Dorothy Ribbans, Clara Donnelly, ‘Pat’ Rado, Celia Gebel and Pearl Ostrow are members. The grouping and scenic effects are staged by Abra- ham Brown, who has developed into a regular male ‘vamp.’ All the girls are crazy about him—but he prefers the society of his own sex and doesn’t bother with the girls. People don’t change so much, any- how; do they? The chorus men are led by Frank Padalino, who can certainly dance well. The ‘Urban’ of our playhouse is Brower Woodward, and we are to consider ourselves lucky in that he painted our scenery for us. He is a most noted painter. Imagine—even such famous people as Florence Will- iams, the great diver and swimmer, and Kathleen Lilliston, the wonderful interior decorator, have had their portraits done by him. . ‘Woody”’ is proficient in both portrait and scene painting. However, I've heard it said that his favorite model is Gladys Van Dolson. You'll see many miniatures and portraits of her in Newark—sh! They're beginning, so we must be quiet!” The rehearsal was perfect, and after greeting out friends we slipped away. As we whirled homeward, I remarked that it was seldom that I had the pleasure of seeing so many of my old friends—a pleasure which I hoped would be soon repeated. At the junction of Clinton and Treacy Avenues we parted—Flo going to keep an appoint- ment, and I to my office to finish another day's work. On thinking over the people I had seen, I reflized that all the class of June, 1918, had been represented —every one—no, not all! Raymond Davies we had not seen or heard from! But then, how could we ex- pect to have an audience with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, for such, indeed, he was! But, a day of days had this indeed been and This could have happened once, And we missed it, lost it forever. Sage Saws of a Staid Senior The diploma's the thing.
