It is whether dances shall be continued in Central on Thursday afternoons or not. As we all know the Central Service Club has been conducting these The proceeds are used to enlarge our organ These dances have not proved successful. You ask why? The reason is that you have not been attending them. These dances have been drawing the flotsam from Barringer, and South Side High Schools. Now Centralites, the Central Service Club has run into debt. This debt must be met somehow and un- less vou attend the dances, the G. O. will lose a large amount of monev, and our Organ Fund will never be swelled. Let us meet the question in a sincere and direct manner. Students of Central, bv that I mean those who have not attended the dances latelv but did at- tend them a year ago. Do you really want to attend these dances again? If you have any objections, the Pivot would be glad to accept them in written form and publish them so that the entire school may know why our students do not attend our dances. This is a serious question. ‘The time has arrived when we either must abolish dances in Central or arouse a spirit of loyalty for them. The gatherings that we get on a Thursday after- noon in our north lunch room are not of the best type. They are slowly disgracing our school. We don’t want the scum of other schools to come to Central and pollute our school. We want to bar these peo- ple and have only our own students dance. The other schools of Newark will not allow students from other schools to dance in their buildings, except by special invitation. Centralites, we must help the Central Service Club because it has done some splendid work for us. We must help our organ fund because we know the bene- fits that will be derived from the organ. We must help Central, because if we don't attend, the out- siders will, and we will suffer in our reputation for things we have never done. Last of all we want to have a good time once a week after studying, and dancing is the best form of recreation. Attend your dances, Centralites. —L. G. The Better Way The Better Way, a quarterly publication issued by the Newark Council of Colored Boys’ Work has come to our notice lately. This little magazine has all the qualities of a seasoned paper. The boys of this club also deserve a good deal of credit for the splendid work that they have accomplished in the short time that they have existed. Starting last May with only four clubs and two Boy Scout Troops, these boys have through their incessant activity enlarged the Newark Council to fifteen well organized clubs and the Scout Troops now have two hundred members. [he boys participate in all athletic activities. Dur- ing last summer they attended two camps. The coun- cil is planning to hold an athletic meet this fall. In the promotion of the welfare of this council, the Central community Board of Colored Boys’ Work and the Rotary Club of Newark played a big part in encouraging the boys to continue their work. Their success can well be seen. Go to it boys. Keep up your good work. Organ- ization at present is the big problem. Only the well organized succeed in any undertakings. We wish you success in all your future activities. Let us hear from you again. L. G. TAKE NOTICE It is gratifying to note that our students have not spent their time in shows and moving picture places In the library during the whole Easter vacation, Centralites could be seen studiously poring over the “World of Books,” known by our English department.

HELEN PETERSON, 411 Ëy: el} PUNTO T Si | | BIMM Sts GI leader, came to him and asked him whether he had seen a young girl about the premises. He pointed into the room. The leader looked in and then called to several of his assistants. They seized the knight of the road and bound him. ‘This was a new expe- rience to him. He asked them the reason for such actions. ‘“You can’t fool us,” they replied, “we've got the evidence on you.” He was mystified. “What do you mean?” he asked. ‘The leader a burly hard- faced rough individual, replied: We mean that you killed this girl and we are going to hang you to the nearest tree.” The knight of the road tried to re- monstrate with these men. He endeavored to explain to them that he was not guilty of this awful crime. His pleadings were in vain. They would not listen. They placed him on a horse and rode out of the woods. While he was riding with his hands bound, behind him, but his mind free as the little birds that he had envied that very morning, he reflected on the strange turn that fate had taken. Only that morning he had resolved to live close to nature to be done with man. Here he was about to face death for a crime that he had never committed. Did his great mother, Nature, decide for him to die as that young girl had died, an innocent victim sacrificed to the selfish desires of man. Did she lead his steps toward that cabin where sev- eral hours before he had planned to live as the birds and the flowers do. “Were these birds free?” he asked himself. “Did not man come often to this forest to destroy them Oh! the brutal selfishness of man!” The party had arrived at the top of a plateau where a large tree was located.

Life had only begun to take root in him. He wanted to see th trees grow. He wanted to understand what the bird were saying. This was not to be.

He struts and stares and does not care to hide His scornful eyes and elevated nose, As he beholds the freshman’s downcast pose, Who bears in silent anger and distress His haughty air and lofty lordliness. And wherefore all this pride, for cutting class, And playing baseball on the front lawn grass; For coming up to class with no work done; Neglecting lessons for the sake of fun; Creating for the teachers curious names; And boasting often of his many flames, With smirking insolence behind their backs, And playing pranks the teacher’s strength to tax! Young freshman, be not dazed by his great stare; He’s making use, which is not very fair, O£ all your ignorance, and little ken, As seniors do to freshmen now and then, Because you're new to many of their ways, And do not know their pass-works, yells or lays; De not be over-awed by such proud glance, For well we know that if you're giv’n the chance A grad of Central High School soon you'll be, And what a great man later, we shall see! II Fare sy ta CARROTS Bv NANETTE LURIE “My Gawd!” “Stop swearing, Ellen!” 7 “Well, if you saw what I saw, vou'd swear too. “What'd y’see?”” queried the other girl eagerly. “Iye been to Barnum’s twice and I’ve visited all side shows, but this freak beats them all!” “What freak?” “Oh well, you know, the first period being free, was going into the office to help Miss Martine, but ist as Í crossed the threshold I saw—a girl, in such rig that upon seeing her, I nearly collapsed. PI hy she’s a sight.” ““Oh Ellen, I'd love to see her!” “You would, well just - ere she comes!” “Oh!” gasped Margie as there appeared in the prridor, a girl of medium height. Above her shiny lack boots there hung a dark brown corduroy skirt pported by a heavy leather belt, embellished with ickel platings. Above that could be seen a khaki olored blouse adorned by a flaming red tie; and in lancing upward one immediately noticed a healthy hnned complexion, a shapely nose, a pair of large ray eyes and a mass of glorious red hair, that per- sted in peeping out from under the huge sombero, bove which there projected outwards a bright yellow eather, placed there perhaps to give a better effect. At any rate the girls stood speechless, watching very movement of the westerner, who after gazing uriously at her surroundings, walked over to the two irls and said in a low rich voice: “Could you tell e where room 301A is?” Room 301 A—why that’s Betty’s room; what do ou wish there?” “That’s to be my room—you see I’m to board ere. “Oh, I really can’t, though at another time I'd be orry, but I can’t accommodate you for just now I’m ery busy. But perhaps Margie will take you there,” nd thereupon she walked off, her head lifted with corn. “Oh, I really can’t though at another time I'd be Had to do so,” and Margie’s nose reached a high ltitude as she marched off after Ellen. “Hasn't she got the nerve though!” Margie ex- laimed, as she caught up to Ellen. ‘‘Imagine that ountry jane trying to speak to us!” and the nose ent higher. “I’m going to snub her whenever I can, nd you will too, eh, Margie?” “Of course I will, and I'll show her her place.” Meanwhile the westerner was trying to puzzle out er former reception. “I wonder,” she murmured, ‘whether they really had no time or whether they hought I wasn’t good enough for them to speak to. ly, how uppish city girls are,” and the gray eyes lled with tears. “Well, I may as well try to find e room myself.” pe — oh, gracious, 7 Slowly she walked along the corridor, and so ab- sorbed was she in her thoughts that before she was aware of it, she had bumped into a girl, and a pair of frank brown eyes were raised questioningly at her. “Why I beg your pardon, but who—er are you?” exclaimed the newcomer . “Oh, perhaps you can help me. I’m looking for a certain room and I’ve already asked two girls, but they turned up their noses and went away.” “The horrid things! That must be Ellen and Margie. I'll speak to them. But tell me the num- ber, perhaps I can help you.” “301A.” “Why that’s my room! Oh Jimimy, that’s splen- did. I’ve been alone since Florence left—she was my room mate. But come, let’s go. ' “Since we are to be room mates we ought to know each other’s names,” declared the brown-eyed maid, when they were finally seated comfortably m the spacious room. Mine's Betty, and yours?” “Mine,” said the westerner, “is Sheila Mary Ann Briggs.” “Oh,” gasped Betty, “why we—why we couldn't call you all that. Let's make it shorter.” “But I “Suppose I call you Carrots—you have such won- derful red hair—could I?” “Well,” she drawled, “if you wish to you may. I reckon a name doesn’t count for much anyway.” “That’s lovely. I’m so glad you don't mind. Now let’s see, haven’t you any other er clothes? These make you awfully conspicuous.” Why surely, I’ve got a whole trunkful, but they are to be shipped from New York; and at present I have no others.” “I can’t let you go in these clothes or vou'd be the laughing-stock of the school. But wait a moment —' and Bettv rushed to the closet, dragged forth a trunk, threw back the lid and there lav her best cloth- ing. “Here,” she exclaimed triumphantiv, “pick out anything you wish!” At first there were some protests, but these were quieted, and soon Carrots stood arrayed in borrowed finery. Quite different from her former appearance. “Now that you look presentable, I'll take you down to get acquainted with the girls. ' Upon reaching the first landing, Betty espied the bulletin board and running over to it she shouted, “Hurrah! The race is set for the 30th of this month.” “What race?” Carrots inquired. “Why we have horse racing every year with a rival academy. ‘This coming one will be in about two weeks. Why I guess the boys are practicing now! Let's go over to watch them.” “Don’t the girls ever take part?” “No they're not allowed to. ““Aw—I'm so sorry because down at the ranch I could beat every one, and I'd love to try out here.” By this time they had reached the tracks, groups of boys and girls already were there. Some girls were about to go over to Betty when upon noticing Carrots, they immediately turned round and walked in the opposite direction. “She thinks because she’s in city clothing, we'll notice her,” one girl remarked loud enough for Betty and her companion to hear. Carrots bit her lip. “The selfish things!” then in a soothing tone, “° they'll be sorry.” Betty exclaimed angrily, Don’t mind them, some day Carrots felt deeply hurt, but the incident was soon forgotten as she became interested in watching one of the boys do stunts. 'Isn't he a beauty!” she exclaimed, with spark- ling eyes, as she pointed to a black steed that was passing by. “Oh, that's Dan’s horse,” knowing air. ''He's our best rider!” “Why hello, Betty!” cried Dan, a dark haired lad with grey eyes. “What have you been saving about me just now? I heard you mention my name.” “Oh, I was just telling Carrots about your horse. She’s awfully interested in them because she can ride.” “You can!” learned?” “Why, I was brought up on a ranch.” “You don't say! Well I guess you ought to be some rider. Perhaps you'll tell me about 4d Just then the gong sounded and Dan hurried off to return the horse, for the time allowed for practice was over. Some time elapsed but still the girls would have nothing to do with “that country hick,” as they termed her; and Carrots, being denied the companionship of girls, sought elsewhere and soon she and Dan became inseparable friends. The day set for the race finally dawned. The grandstands were black with people. Banners were tiving, horns were blowing, and every noisemaking object procurable was there. Now and then there would arise a deafening cheer from one side, and an answering one from the rival school. Since most of the riders were already out on the track, “Carrots” was becoming alarmed for Dan could not be seen. At that moment there came puff- ing and panting up to her, a young lad. “This is for you,” he exclaimed, excitedly, holding out a note. “Carrots” opened it eargerly with trem- bling fingers, revealing the following: 'Come over at once. Dan.” “Gracious! What can be the matter?” Betty replied with a Dan exclaimed. ‘“‘Where’ve you and she 8 raced down the stairs, across the campus and upi Dan’s room, breathing quickly. within, knock. couch sat “Come in,” called a voice from “Carrots,” had given a resounding flew the door, and there on the ghastly pale. “Why what's the matter?” afi Ope Da she gasped. “I broke my arm this morning and now I can't} in the race, ' was the cool reply. “Well, ain't that luck!” “Carrots” ejaculate and there stood looking gloomilv at a corner of b room.

At this there arose a thunderous cheer that fairly shook the grandstand. Congratulations were showered thick and fast upon her as she sat with flushed cheeks and streaming hair, in her saddle. A group of girls elbowed their way to her side, looking up at her sheepishly. “We're sorry we snubbed you,” came from Margie, “and we want to apologize. Will you show that you forgive us by coming to our dance to-morrow night, with Dan? We're giving it to celebrate your victory.” “Carrots,” ñ nodded. BETTY, THE SHY By DoROTHX GOODMAN And so they became friends. Dick Harvey, the handsome blond football hero and little demure, dark- eyed Betty Hartman. Yes, they became real friends and this is how it happened. You see, he was so handsome and strong, and so popular that shy little Betty could only worship him from afar. And if he chanced to even glance her way, she would blush to the very roots of her hair. But it all changed in a dav, and this is how it was. One day, during the fifth period, Betty was sent on an errant. She was walking down the stairs, hum- ming a dreamy little tune, and looking nowhere in particular, when—her foot slipped and down the stairs she tumbled, head over heels. At the bottom, she was so dazed that she just lay there—when, all of a sudden she heard a voice say, “Come, girlie, you re all right, aren't you? Have you hurt yourself badly?” and she looked up into the eyes of—Dick Harvey. Her senses came back with a rush, and she blushed furiously. ‘“ I—you—-oh—no, I’m all right,” she stam- mered, and tried to stand up. ‘This she found was impossible, as she had twisted her ankle badly and could not stand on it. She tried to take a step, but immediately fell back into Dick’s arms. “May I help you to the nurse’s room?” asked the boy, and she said he might. Then, as gently as he could, and he was very gentle for such a big fellow, he helped her along, un- til he had gotten her safely into the medical office. There the bruised ankle was bandaged tightly, and the girl was contemplating how she could get home. “I have my car downstairs, and if I may take you home, I'd be glad to,” offered the hero of many a gridiron battle. Before Betty could refuse, for that is what she intended doing, the nurse had answered for her. “Yes, Harvey, that will be fine; I'll get excuses for both of you,” and they were left alone in the office. Dick tried to start a conversation, but Betty's ankle hurt her so, and she looked so embarrassed that Dick was content to keep up a cheerful monologue without expecting an answer. It was the same all the way home, and, except for telling Dick her address, she hardly said two words in answer to his chatter- ings. But Dick didn’t feel disturbed. He was feeling very happy. Here he was doing something worth while at last, and enjoying it in the meantime. He wondered how it was that he had never noticed Betty before, but he said nothing on the subject. When they reached Betty’s home, and had quieted her mother’s fears, Dick sat down for a few minutes. Bettv's mother thanked him warmly for his help, and Betty also thanked him in her shy little way. Dick modestly said it was a mere nothing, and caught him- self blushing furiously. What was this? He, Dick Harvey, who knew and went out with the most popu- lar and prettiest girls in the school, blushing because a mere little slip of a girl had thanked him for help- ing her? He could not understand himself. He left the house a short time later, with a cordial invitation from Mrs. Hartman, shly seconded by Betty, to come again; and all the way back to school he was thinking of how pale Betty had looked when he had picked her up on the stairs. The next day was Friday, and Betty did not come to school. His friends all noticed how impatient Dick was for 3 o clock to come, but no one knew the rea- son. As soon as he was dismissed, Dick drove up to Betty’s house. He found the girl lying on the sofa with her ankle still bandaged. She was very glad to see him and told him so. She was more talkative today, although, as he soon found, Betty never did much talking. They talked about sports, dancing, and other things for some time, and when Dick said he had to go, Betty thanked him for coming to see how she was. The week-end passed very slowly, at least for two young people, and when Monday morning came, both Bettv and Dick were in school much earlier than usual. the tellows were shocked. Dick, who usu- ally landed in school about 8:59, was there before 8:39. Nobody could understand it. Vionday, luesdav, Wednesday passed, in which they were together all the time. hey went to as- sembly together, were together during the periods, ate lunch together, and every day after school, Dick took the gir! home in his car. Everyone noticed this, and the school was buzzing with the latest subject for dis- cussion. thursday morning, a dance was announced in əs- sembly. Uf course, as everyone expected, Dick asked Betty, and the girl shyly but very enthusiasti- caliy accepted. It was the hrst dance she had at- tenaed m all the time she had been going to high school. At the dance, everyone was talking about them. You see, the boys had never noticed Betty before that weex—she had kept herselt aloof from them, and tha girls had never bothered with her. So they gath +. in groups, those who were not dancing, and gossi, $ away to their heart's content. “1 don't see anything in her,” remarked Helen Saunders, “she isn't good-looking, and she doesn’t dress so nicely either. I don't see what Dick sees in her.” “K-A-T,” replied her brother Jack, and turning on nis heel, he walked over to where Dick and Betty were standing and asked Dick to introduce him to Betty. lhis done, he asked her for a dance and it was granted him. Meanwhile, Dick stood out and watched. By this time several other boys had gathered around Dick, asking him to introduce them to Bettv. So, for the rest of the afternoon, Bettv was swamped wi'h partners, and onlv had time to dance once more with Dick. After the dance, riding home with Dick, no one could have called Betty Hartman plain. Her dark eyes sparkled and shone like twin diamonds, and her cheecks were as red as rose s. Yes, Betty had just had her first taste of popularity and she found it to be very sweet. Indeed, during that ride home, it was wetty who chattered and laughed and Dick who sat back silently and marveled. ‘he next day, and for many days after that, Dick hardly saw or spoke to Betty. She was always sur- rounded by a crowd, and he never got a chance to get a word in edgewise. He began to feel sorry that he had introduced Betty to the fellows, because then he would have had her to himself, but he quickly dis- missed the thought, because he knew the girl was en- joying her popularity. But he missed her cheerful 10 talks, and her sweet personality, and wished she H time to ride home with him after school like she 4 during that first week of their friendship. ‘Then came the dance given by the —— = Fraternity, to which Dick and most of the older by belonged. Betty received four invitations from diff ent fellows, but she held back her answers as long, she could until One dav, the girl left school verv late, after meeting of her club.

Betty chattered away at a lively rate, which Dj answered only in monosyllables, looking at her | tently all the way home. All of a sudden, Bel stopped talking and, turning around, she lool squarely at the big sullen fellow sitting beside her. “Dick Harvey,” she said, “why don’t you ask j to go to the — dance with you?” “But Betty,” cried the delighted boy, “would vi really go with me?” “Well,” replied Betty shyly, “it's manners to wi till you're asked.” “I thought you would go with Saunders or one | the other fellows, and I was afraid to ask you.

A Complaint of the Decay of Horses By JoHN REILLV That all—changing magic wand of science—al- most as effective as Midas’s touch—is rapidly driv- ing from our city streets, the horse. With all his carts and trucks, coaches and carriages, stables and blacksmithshops, the horse is fast becoming a thing of the past. Soon he will be a curiosity in town and (I suppose) we shall see him only when the circus comes to town, or among the other strange animals in the zoo. I do not approve of this wholesale casting aside of a faithful servant of thousands of years. His serv- ices were given without complaint—without compen- In tale or history, the horse is ever an indis- pensable figure. We read of the great cavalry of Alexander and Caesar. But who can imagine some contrivance (such as the motorcycle) taking the place of the horse in a cavalry charge? How could the knights of the Middle Ages have managed without their horses, or how would Quentin Durward and Isabelle have escaped from France? How would it sound in the poem if Paul Revere had ridden in a Ford? For many years the horse was the only means of travel—except for those who, being too poor to ride, walked—whether for merchants bringing their goods from town to town, for knights on journeys far from home, or for Louis XVI when he attempted to flee from his angry subjects, and had not the curiosity of that unhappy monarch induced him to stick his fat head lout of his coach window, he probably would not have lost it so soon. sation. But at length came the steam engine and the rail- roads. The horse tried hard, but could not com- ete with the puffing monster.

I grieve to think of the time when we shall have o horses—and that time is not far off —for he is not mere machine like the automobile. He is his mas- er's friend. He knows his master’s humors; responds o his every word and touch. He does not break Hown in the midst of his work, but no matter how tired and hungry, he strives on to finish his task with- out complaint. Have you noticed, reader, how the automobile is replacing the horse in our fire apparatus? Whenever a new engine is added or an old one replaced, the new one is a machine. The horses are not fast enough for us any more. ‘This thought must bring grief to everyone who remembers how—when he was a little boy—he loved to watch the fire horses—for it was the horses and not the engine that attracted him— rushing to the fire. It was a race between horse and fire and the animal knew that much depended on him. His efforts surely must have aroused the spirits of the firemen. But who could be inspired by an automo- bile? Its is but a mass of metal—it has no soul. The only emotion it inspires (as it rushes through the streets like a raging monster) is terror, lest it should leave its true course and run wild, as it seems to threaten to do. Have you seen recently, any of those sleighs which used to be so numerous about town after every snow- storm? I have not. It seems strange (in the ex- celled weather for sleighriding which we had last week) that not a sleigh could be seen, nor the jing- ling of a bell heard. I wonder what has become of them. Recently, I saw one—or rather the remains of one—in a yard on the outskirts of the city. It was sadly crippled and was fit for nothing but the wood pile. I suppose the others have met the same fate. This is a result of the exodus of the horse. I used to pass daily—on my way from school— a stable, and every day there were about a dozen very large horses tied to posts outside the building. But now the stable is empty—there are no more horses—and next door is a large garage, where are kept the automobiles which now do the horses’ work. I wonder what has become of those horses. Have they been sent to the soap factory, or have they been used—as was suggested during the war—for making frankfurters ? When you see a horse and buggy—that is if you ever do see one—going about the city, do not laugh at it because it is out of date, for remember that it is not so long ago that the horse and buggy held the same place in the community as the automobile does today. Rather, stop and revertently salute the fallen monarch.

Somehow, the grav skies and somewhat foggv atmosphere seemed to re- flect most noticeably upon the two boys. Neither of them spoke a word. Jerry looked straight ahead and his jaw appeared stronger set than ever before, while Ned cast a not-too-little inquisitive glance at his friend every now and then. Ned was anxious to know the cause of Jerry's queer behavior, but, exer- cising a great deal of tact he refrained from asking. “Say, Ned,” burst from Jerry, “do you think that it is safe for me to ask Violet Drake to go to the Prom with me?” ‘This unexpected question quite took Ned off his guard, but he answered as he thought would best suit the occasion, by saying, “Well, Jerry, I don’t know as she would want to go to the Prom with you when she hardly knows you, but why don't you get better acquainted with her by asking her to go ice-skating with you Saturday afternoon?” By this time the boys reached Jerry’s house and, with a “Well, Ned, I'll ask her tomorrow,” Jerry ascended his front steps. While walking home, Ned tried to think of some way to help Jerry. Yes, Jerry certainly needed help when he was so sad and thoughtful instead of optim- istic and happy, as was his usual frame of mind. While Ned tried to straighten things out, I'll try to explain the strange actions of both boys. Jerry was the most popular boy in Clifton High School. It was not thru wonderful feats on the gridiron or on the race track, nor even in the scholastic field that brought him his popularity, but he got it thru his hard luck. Everyone in the school knew Jerry and was always ready with a few words of sympathy for the unfortunate boy; but he had always laughed at their “needless sympathy” as he put it, and refused to lis- ten to the warnings of his friends to keep out of active affairs in order to prevent making a mess of them or himself. He always answered their warnings, how- ever, by saying, “things may go wrong now, but wait until the worm turns.” Well, if Jerry insisted upon being optimistic, it was useless to try to change his outlook in the matter. But he was forced, neverthe- less, to admit that hard luck followed him around like a shadow. As soon as Jerry reached home he sat down and planned how to ask Violet to go with him. Yes, he knew his hard luck might want to interfere with his plans again, but he decided that he would go over every minute detail so that nothing could possibly arise which he would not be prepared for, and in that way a good time would be assured. After an almost sleepless night, Jerry prepared for school, once more optimistic and feeling secure. lt was not until lunch time that he could manage to speak to Violet and then her calm and sweet pres- ence so disarmed him that he almost made a mess of the whole thing before he started it. However, he collected himself, and stammered “‘er, er’’—then all in one breath, willyougoice-skating-withmeSaturday afternoon? Jerry mopped his face after this. “Im so sorry, Jerry,” Violet sweetly answered, “but I have already promised to go ice-skating with Eugene Reed on Saturdav afternoon. There is go- Ing to be a real party of it with two other boys and girls. Perhaps we can go some other time.” Jerry barely controlled himself long enough to voice his regrets and to take leave of the girl. To think that after all of his planing he should be disappointed in such a manner. “Well,” Jerry told himself, “I should have known better than to expect Violet, the prettiest and most popular girl in the school, to spend a whole afternoon with me.” Finally Saturday came and, Jerry too restless to stay at home, decided that he would go to the lake and watch Violet have a good time even though she did not go with him. He immediately set out ana reached the lake in good time— Violet was not yet there. Finally, he saw the party come, and, with much unnecessarv noise customarv on such occasions, thev frolicked around the lake for about an hour, while Jerry kept constantly in sight of Violet. 'Oh, when will mv luck change,” though Jerry to himself, now undoubtedly feeling wretched, in spite of his optimistic view in the matter. “At this very moment Í might have been skating hand in hand withe—'''Oh''—eried Jerry, and with that he fair- ly flew towards the speeding Violet and, grasping her hands, he pulled her around and started to skate to- wards the edge of the lake, as if intruding in such a matter were the most every-day happening. “How do you do, Vi,” said Jerry. “I hope you'll excuse my sudden appearance on the scene, but I just couldn’t resist going over to you when I saw you leave the crowd. “You are excused, Jerry,” added Violet, “but J think I’ll have to leave you now or there will be a search committee sent out for me by the rest of the crowd.” “Oh, no,” hastily added Jerry, “I’m not going to let you go away so easily. First we'll have somethiag warm to drink and then we'll decide whether to re- lieve the search committee or not.” Violet offered no resistance, while Jerry himself was so surprised at the masterful tone he used that his pulse actually beat faster; poor boy, how much he hated to think that his hard luck might interfere with his unexpected pleasure. Well, so far so good. While sipping their hot chocolate, both Violet and Jerry refrained from talking. Jerry took this time to collect his thoughts. He actually shivered when he pictured in his mind how close Violet was to falling into a hole in the ice that he had seen before the ice- skating party came, and how thankful he felt that he was there in time to save her. But best of all (with an assuring side glance at Violet) she surely knew nothing about the danger she was in and that was a great deal to be thankful for. “Why, Jerry, what are you dreaming about,” asked Violet, interrupting his thoughts. Jerry almost dropped his cup of steaming choco- late at being thus i nterrupted. Evidently, his hard luck was taking a more merciful attitude towards him, for wouldn’t he surely have dropped the hot drink and burnt Violet at any other time? “Well, to be perfectly frank,” answered Jerry, quickly changing the subject, “I was wondering whether you would consider me too bold if I asked you to honor me by going to the senior Prom as my partner?” lt was all Jerry could think of, and, after fairly blurting it out, he paused and—were his ears deceiv- ing him? “TIl most certainly accept your kind invitation, Jerry, if you'll tell me more particulars about it.” Poor Jerry was left fairly speechless with surprise. Violet Drake promised to go to the Prom with him! No, he must have heard wrong. “Surely, Jerry, you don’t think that I would re fuse to go to a Prom with anyone who was as unsel, fish, brave and quick-quitted as you were.” “Why, Violet, what do you mean?” asked Jerry “I simply mean that I knew all the while that then was a hole in the ice and that I was skating directly towards it.” “Vi, I can’t understand. self,” added the confused boy. “Well, to make a clean breast of it, Ned cam over to my house after leaving you and told me whal you were going to do and he suggested that in all dy fairness to you, since I could not go ice-skating will you to become more acquainted with you, we would try the plan he had thought out. The plan was tha he should make the hole in the ice and I would skatd directly towards it when I was sure you saw me, ang then by your actions under the circumstances I migh judge whether I thought enough of you to go to thi Prom with you. Poor Jerry! “Please go on.” “Well,” continued Violet, ''there is nothing mor to say except that anyone who could act as you dil under the circumstances, so quick, and with so littl conceit as to refrain from mentioning what a wonder ful thing he did, certainly deserves not only th highest of praise but is entitled to anything he couli possibly get in the way of enjoyment—and” with | roguish smile) “TIl certainly try my best to see tha as far as you are concerned the Prom will be th greatest success.” Jerry was too dazed to think, but four words stool in front of his eyes, in flaming red colors, and the were, “My worm has turned.” Please explain your All he could do was to gasp CLASS SONG By E.

MMe o En, HOW THE WARRIORSOF RUTHERFORD HIGH SCHOOL OVERCAME THE VALOROUS CENTRALITES ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD—AN IMITATION OF BEOWULF By GERTRUDE D. SCHNARR Hear ve, all ve lovers of the ancient and time- onored sport of Rugby, of the fierce and bloody attle waged between the bold-hearted heroes of Cen- al High School and the doughty warriors of Ruther- ord. Never heard tell of an encounter more thrilling lor with an ending more tragic. On the benches surrounding the field of football ere seated those who were come to cheer for the bams, brave with pennants and banners. ‘Tense and ager they waited the coming of the brave youths. “Then from under the seried stands came the fight- g men of Central striding, fierce of mood, An proar, strange enough, rose on high. Straightway e armored-ones, decked out in blue, began to prac- se hurling the shining oval or sending it far into bace by giving it a gentle boost with the toes of their ell cleated shoon. “Then from an unknown place be- eath the stands came the proud warriors of Ruther- ord, clad in brightest scarlet. An unlovely light, kest to flame, stood in their eyes. They saw on the eld the doughty fighters of Central and their hearts hughed within them. They thought the proud- learted ones, the undefeated heroes, to gather many redits to themselves and leave their vanquished foes are of honors. But it. was fate’s decree that ‘it ould not be thus. The warsmen of Central, strong in might, watched ow the fell spoilers were minded to set about their dden onslaughts. The scarlet-clad ones thought ot to be long about it but for a first start seized ickly on the mishaps of their opponents. The much- sired ball came into the possession of the Ruther- ordians. One of their valorous youths thought to arry it to the goal but a bold Centralite grasped him vith set purpose and threw his weight upon him. But re long a fighter from Rutherford, Webster by name, p the first honors for his side by kicking the thern oval straight between the two tall posts that harked the goal of Central. Then was heard the houting of the favored ones; the uproar of it sounded orth, joyous was their converse. But Wyrd had de- reed that even more honors should be heaped upon hem for ere long the shining oval bounded over the ine that marked the goal and a red-ciad warrior fell pon it. Again rose the revel, the clamor along the benches resounded clear; song and sound of playing were joined together. But no longer was it fate's decree that the proud-hearted ones might, after that, gather more credits to themselves. Quaking fear lay upon the Central-folk, upon those who heard the outcry of their enemies’ cheers. Now and again, striving against one another, the bold- hearted ones advanced to the shadow of Central's goal. Locked in deadly combat were the Centralites and the Rutherfordians; m addened were the raging strugglers. Seeking to gain more honors for his side Dixon, the leader of the favored ones, thought to throw the leathern ball to Wallace. Then from the mass of fighters emerged one destined to be the hero of the blue-clad ones. From mid-air snatched he the ball and tightly held it in his sturdy grasp. His one thought was to get him gone; to flee down the field; to carry his precious burden to the goal line. Swiftly sped he along the muddy ground, skillfully evading his dismayed opponents. Close behind him a wars- man of Rutherford strove vainly to clutch him as he went. Hearing the panting of his pursuer, the fleet- footed one hastened on with mightly stride, scarce touching the green turf. The press of spectators all arose ,tense were they with excitement. On and on ran he, never stopping until he placed the pigskin safe behind the goal. Then was raised a mighty cheer, the huge stadium was clamorous with the din. Joy was unconfined among the hosts of loyal rooters for Central had scored against the renowned Ruther- ford. Furiously then did the battle rage when once again the warfare was resumed. In vain did Central strive to win more credits than those gained by Rutherford. ‘Thus was the afternoon light sped on and hasten:d by. Finally was heard the signal's last ending the struggle. Fame of the battle was given to Ruther- ford. The uproar rose of the victor-folk; in gladness were they. Not so the Centralites. Sorrow of soul was theirs and mood of mourning. Their was a great grief that caused them to sit joyless and under- go heaviness of heart. So ended the mighty conflict when Central’s hopes of winning the championship were dashed to the ground. Ah, that was a dreary ending. AN D Junior Municipality A meeting recently called to launch the Central District Junior Municipality was attended by dele- gates from school clubs and industries. About fifty students and two teachers, Mr. Conovitz and Miss Lavers, attended from Central. The Junior Municipality idea, which was explained at the Montgomery School Meeting by Judge Stickel briefly is as follows: In each city, Junior officers, corresponding exactly to the Senior government, will be elected, the voters being the residents of the city between the ages of 16 and 20. Junior Municipalities have been formed, and are successfully functioning in numerous small towns and cities throughout the country, including the Oranges, Glen Ridge and Bloomfield. This is the first time it has been tried in a city as large as New- ark. The city has been divided into five disricts. One, the North End, has already been formed. The one now forming is to be called the Central District Junior Munnicipalitv of Newark, and is for the set ond, third and fourteenth wards. In the Central District five commissioners will b elected: a Mayor, Director of Finance, etc., who i turn will select four secretaries, City Clerk, Board c Health and Board of Education. [he idea is to give the voters experience in votin and the commissioner’s experience in city governme work. It will also be the duty of the Junior Gover ment to do welfare work in their district. At È first meeting Louis Goldman, Central High Scho student and editor of the Pivot, was elected ten porary chairman and another Centralite, Mildre Jacobson, was appointed secretary. It is the duty of every loyal Centralite who liw in the Second, Third or Fourteenth Wards to atten the next meeting which will be held on Thursds evening, May 11, at 8 P. M. in the auditorium : the Montgomery School, and to support the candidat from Central who, on that date, will be announce? Central Hears Mr. McLaughlin Central students were given a treat on Thursday, April 20, in the auditorium at the school, when James J. McLaughlin impersonated several characters of Shakespeare. Mr. McLaughlin impersonated the characters from the first act, first scene of Julius Caesar and recited the parts. He also portrayed the “Witch Scene” from Macbeth. Another of his char- acterizations was the scene of the “Grave Diggers,” from Hamlet. Mr. McLaughlin, who was a resident of Newark, was in the cast that supported the famous Shake- spearean actor, Robert B. Mantel. Mr. McLaug lin’s ability to maintain the dignity of Hamlet whi dressed in the rude and corpulent garb of the gra digger, was very perceptible. After Mr. McLaughlin had finished, the studen were seen scurrying after their books of Shakespear in order to become more acquainted with the scent that they had seen performed. According to the tt ports coming from the teachers a great interest h: been aroused among the students taking the dram course in E.nglish because of this recital. iin Ma NEIVA Food Collected in Central Central contributed 1,109 cans of food for the Near East Relief on April 28 and May |. Mr. Wiener was much pleased with the showing, although he wanted to stack the platform to the verv ceiling with cans. Of course we realize that it would take too long to pack such a great amount of cans and therefore even if we onlv reached halfwav we wish to thank the students and their parents for the splen- did way in which they heard the call for food. The following list shows an exact account of what was collected and the numbers of each separate food: Canned No. of Cans Beans and Pork Corn and String Beans Tomatoes Evaporated Milk Campbell’s Soup Spaghetti Peaches Coffee Salmon Cresco Sweet Syrup Jam Tomato Sauce f ) 4 Corned Beef Condensed milk Sardines [ea Baker's Chocolate Cocoa Carton s Washington Crisps Ooatmeal The Chess and Checker Club The Chess and Checker Club wishes to announce that it is open for all who wish to belong. This op- portunity should be taken advantage of, for it is the most interesting and progressive club in the school, having more than a hundred members. In order to make the uninformed reader more fully aware of the purpose of the club, we hereby inform the students that this club exists for the purpose of teaching the students of Central, the fascinating and instructive games of chess and checkers, and to select teams to play other schools of the city and state for the cham- pionships that are offered. An interscholastic tournament was recently held, Battin obtaining first place and Central third. The following school teams were played by the Central team with the results of each game: Central 4, East Side 0; Central 1, South Side 3; Central 2'4, Barringer 1142; Central 3, East Orange 1; Central 1; Battin 3; Central 1, Plainfield 3. Montclair High did not compete in this tourna- ment but will enter the next one. The members of the team were Captain Jack Cohen, Louis Martin, George Volow, Milton Holden, Sam Cohen and Nathan Silverman. The members of the checker team are: Captain Ben Braelow, Jack Cohen, Louis Winarsky, Louis Needell and Milton Holden. Central defeated Bar- ringer in a checker match recently, at Central by a score of 4-1. At the recent elections of this club the following were elected: Nathan Lewis, president; Louis Mar- tin, vice-president; Sam Kahn, secretary; George Gil- man, treasurer; manager, Sam Cohen, publicity man- ager, Ben Braelow. The faculty advisor to whom the club owes its existence and who has created this great interest in the club is Mr. Joseph H. Berk. Technical Club The Technical Club, in line with their general plans, paid a very interesting visit to one of the lar- gest industrial plants in the country. The visit was to the plant of the Worthington Pump Corporation in Harrison. Under the guidance of Mr. Herbert Kuven, in- structor in mechanical drawing at Central, and a former employee of the Harrison concern, the boys received a valuable conception of how industry is car- ried on. Mr. Kuven pointed out and described many of the delicate operations in the manufacture of the well-known commodity. Chief Engineer Spellman of the Worthington Plant, assisted in making the visit a success. He aided Mr. Kuven in the description of various pro- cesses. The machine shop, pattern shop, foundry and assembling departments were visited. An invitation was extended by the officials of the company for a second visit. and one in the near future is planned.

CONVENTION MEMBERS VISTI CENTRAL Several hundred members of the National Physi- cal ‘Training Association were guests of the school on Thursday, April 20. They visited the various departments of the school and took particular notice of the gymnastic work during the morning. On Friday, April 21, a mammoth convention was All the Newark high schools and several grammar schools participated, and held at the Newark Armory. a very pleasing exhibition was given. Central in ps ticular, showed up very well, the boys efforts rece mg much applause, and the weaker sex giving a grat fully executed dance. Mr. Anderson was complimented on his syste of teaching by the members who visited the scho We were very glad to have the opportunity of ‘sho ing off’ our wares, especially as they received fay able comment by professional men. RADIO CLUB ‘The Radio Club, not to be outdone by the sudden interest in wireless telephonv, has branched out for itself. A set, that will probably be as good as any possessed by a school, is being constructed by the members. The Barringer High School Radio Club has sug- gested holding debates by means of this wonderful in- vention. Seeing the novelty and practibility of the idea, the boys have fallen in line with zeal and zest. ACTIVITIES So far a vaccuum tube detector and a regenerat set are almost finished. An amplifier for th eaud torium is to be made that will enable the entire scha to “listen in” on the various concerts. The club, under the guidance of Mr. Voegeli faculty advisor, visited W. J. Z., which is the œ name for the Westinghouse plant. They were treat to an instructive and interesting lecture on the oper tion of the broadcasting station and expect to revi it in the near future. GIRL’S SERVICE CLUB The Girl’s Service Club, though already among the most noted of our clubs, is rapidly progressing. The girls are planning a theatre party for the bene- fit cf members only. But not wishing to restrict en- joyments merely to themselves, they are to hold a 1C social in the near future.

Slos- son, Editor of Creative Chemistry delivered a talk on “Chemistry in Everyday Life,” and showed con- clusively the close relation of science to our daily life. He stated that it took the Great War to rouse the people to the power and importance of Chemistry. It was a war of chemists against chemists in the making of nitrate explosives and diabolical poison gases. Now the chemists of all countries turn to the more impor- tant task of contributing to the national health and prosperity. Mr. Slosson continued, showing how Nitrogen used for destructive purposes during the war was made for creative purposes. For example: a ton of wheat takes away from the soil 20 pounds of Nitrogen, 18 pounds of phosphoric acid and 12 pounds of potassium, therefore if the farmer does not restore to the soil these substances every year he is drawing upon his capital. The farmers of the United States now begin to realize the value of fertilizers, NOTES but even now use 28 pounds of fertilizer per acre while European farmers use 200 pounds per acre. Chemists of the United States carrying on their re- search are making from corn hundreds of useful prod- ucis, from salad oil on our tables to the “Rubber Tips” on our pencils. The chemists have added ten dollars to the value of every bale of cotton by ex- tracting oil from the seed which used to be thrown away. The smoke from coke ovens is now being saved, and out of this smoke is obtained Ammonia and coal tar, from which dyes are obtained. Dr. Slosson continued his address along these same lines showing the importance of chemistry in the manufacture of Calcium Carbide from which acety- lene gas is made. Also the relation of chemistry to the Celluloid, Rubber, Baking, Dyeing Industries and the manufacture of iron and steel, preparation of medicines, foods, and the manufacture of matches. BERNARD KNIBERY. CENTRAL AN Students of Central are continually branching out into new fields. In line with the Bureau of Chari- ties’ appeal for funds to help the destitute of our city, fifty energetic pupils assisted the Bureau in their worth-wile campaign. Circulars, describing the conditions existing in the AID TO CHARITY city, and asking the parents for financial aid, were folded and inserted in envelopes by the students. As a result, more families were reached, and a much larger sum for the humane campaign was realized. The students are to be congratulated for their timely assistance. MISS JULIA TIMER Another Centralite has scored a victory! Miss Timer, a Central graduate, has won fame through her chaiming voice. It seems that if prominence is to be acquired at all, it is surely done so by a Centralite. Miss Julia Timer has been coached by a noted instruc- tor, and made her first musical debut, Thursday eve- ning, April 27th, at the Wallace Hall. Because of her equisite voice, and popularity thru her connections with the Newark schools, a large audience greeted her first public appearance. We extend our heartiest congratulations to Miss Timer, wishing her a prosperous future.

A slouches in either case not only does not do his work right, but ruins his health at the same time. Perhaps yo: have never realized how a slouchy position affects the health. Primarily, the spine is affected because the body is not upright and is thrown forward in an unustural position. Because of this position, the or- gans are not allowed to function properly, and the general health is affected. stenographer who But other aspects must be noted in regard to the position of the stenographer. First of all, no em- ployer will tolerate staying in an office for eight hours lay with a person who sits and walks unbecoming- a Gi ly. He has a right to demand that his employees not 1 work as it should be done, but that they should look well also. An incorrect position in both standing and sitting detracts greatly from the personal appearance of the stenographer. No matter how well-made or good-looking his clothes are, the man with stooped shoulders and slouchv walk never looks well.

SARAH MICHAELS MRS. POLAND VISITS STENOGRAPHY GIRLS On the afternoon of March 15 the 4A Stenog- raphy girls assembled in Room 109 to listen to a talk by the Dean of High School girls. Mrs. Poland touched upon many things and her remarks were both interesting and instructive. She began her talk by quoting the following para- graph which occurred in an advertisement in the New York Times:' “We have commissions from dozens of well known firms—to bring to their attention young women whose personality, education and general business attitude are distinctly above the grade of the all too numerous dolled-up, scatter- brained, gum-chewing variety.” She then proceeded to comment upon the last three points, drawing therefrom many lessons of value to the prospective stenographer. We are glad to note that there are few of this type of girl in Central. CENTRALITES AT NORMAL SCHOOL Emily Prach of Room 411, a 4A Stenography pupil, submitted the following report of Mr. Wiener’s remarks in Assembly April 17. “In the September class of the Newark Normal School there were forty-six pupils from Central High School; forty-five from the commercial course and one from the general course. Forty passed every sub- ject successfully. Three of the six who did not pass failed in penmanship, which means that they must 20 eitner do extra work or take the subject over. Two others failed in art, and they did not take art at Cen- tral High School. One other also failed in penman- ship; this one, a girl, was from the general course. It is interesting to note that of the forty-six, forty Central High School pupils actually passed the term's work successfully. It should have been forty-six out of forty-six. Strangely enough, the pupils who did not pass were the pupils that were partially carried on by request.” TLE ; ATT — — STi ee a Prize Essay “Why I Like Stenography” ‘the Shorthand prize offered to 4B and 4A Sten- ography pupils for the best essay on “Why I Like Stenography,” has been awarded to Ruth Greenfield. Honorable mention was given to Lenore Mendel, Emily Prach, Mildred Taylor, Pauline Rakofsv and Rae Steinlauf who turned in excellent essays. [he winning essay follows: As far back as a hundred years ago it is found that business correspondence formed a very important part of the daily work of a commercial firm. ‘The work was usually executed by the head of the con- cern, and then copied by a clerk whose handwriting was far superior to that of the other workers in the office. A few firms had what was termed a corre- spondence clerk, whose duty it was to answer all let- ters for the concern, In this, the present era, we have the stenographer, who attends to all the work formerly done by the cor- respondence clerk, but where the clerk performed his task like a parrot repeats what is said, the stenog- rapher of today has a chance to display initiative and originality, her value being measured by the ability to think when thought and initiative are necessary. Her position demands that knoweldge and ability be present together with certain moral, mental, personal and physical qualities. This is one of the many rea- son; why I like stenography, or shorthand, as some people choose to call it. [he business world offers limitless opportunities to the stenographer whose work merits advancement. Everywhere the business man is seeking efficient and reliable workmen, and they are the ones who are quickly advanced in place and salary. The stenog- rapher is entrusted with the task of relieving her em- ployer of all possible detail work and of such minor executive matters as she can, so that the employer may be eble to devote all his time to the really big things of business. The stenographer who is able to do this work quickly and at the same time efficiently will rise from the ranks, as we would say. The stenographic profession offers great opportunities for bigger posi- tions. It puts the stenographer on the road to suc- A good shorthand writer is rewarded muni- ficently for her work. Of course, the remuneration alone is a good reason for liking stenography. Besides all these things, stenography sharpens the memory, and makes one more concise. It is a means to an end. lt makes one concentrate, think very quickly, teaches how to conserve mental energy, and how to put the mind away up into the forceful, highly It is really wonderful, because it gives one access to all kinds of knowledge. Without stenographers, the business world could t along very well; without them it could not turn out as much work, and so the stenographer is the most essential and most efficient part of the wheel. Are not all the aforementioned reasons enough cause to make one like stenography ? cess. creative plane. ge not BRONZE MEDALS Since last report the following pupils have been awarded bronze medals for speed and accuracy in typewriting: Byrdine Block. Rose Headley. Sophie Oppenheim. Mildred Redman. Rose Siegel. Henrieta Sommers. Ruth Wenberg. Sarah Michaels and Frank Young were awarded the fi fty-word bar. Before distributing the medals Mr. Wiener gave a brief talk in which he emphasized the fact that many bus iness men in this city prefer our graduates because of the superior training they receive, and urged pupils of stenographv and tvpewriting to continue these sub- jecis even if it means very hard work. NOTES WANTED: By this department specimens of printed or engraved letterheads to be used in a comparative study of artistic arrangement in letter display.

DEAR PARENTS: School days have an important bearing on cha; acter building, not always realized by the student The plans for a life time are sometimes formulate: during this period. We hear people talk, often slight ingly, of building castles in the air; but castle build- ing of this kind is simply imaginative planning for the future. No great work can be carried to completion without a plan; but if a great building requires a plan, how much more does a successful life. The most complex feat of engineering is simple compared with the molding of the human character and the making of human destiny. Pupils cannot all decide at the same time what their future work will be; but they can all be looking ahead. If they cannot decide they can be approaching a decision. There is too much of listlessness among us, too much drifting with the tide, too much of a disposition to enjoy the present at the expense of the future. The successful men of today are, generally speaking, those who a generation ago were boys with dreams, ideals and plans. Par- ents, encourage your boys and girls to look ahead, to think of success and achievement that is to come. Urge them to expect great things, and to exact great work from themselves; not to expect to do it all at once, but to work at whatever comes next with all their might, knowing that beyond the simple tasks of today there are the glorious achievements of tomorrow. Americans should now, as they have always been, be great dreamers and great doers. Principal. Class Prophecy By SOPHIE J. OPPENHEIM AND Morris SCHLAIN There was a decisive ring at the door. As I was standing near, i opened it, and to mv amazement who should I perceive but President Kessel and the First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Kessel, nee Ruth Greenfield. I concealed my surprise. This was the first time Í had seen Mr. Kessel since the elections when he K d become the executive of the land, and my husband, the Secretary of State. Therefore, I formally bade them enter. I told myself I would not presume upon my friendship with them at dear old Central. But the President must have noticed my attitude. Grasp- ing my hand he said jokingly: “Sophie, don't act like an iceberg. I haven't changed any from the cute little boy who used to pull Ruthie's curls, and who helped raise Cain in 219.7 That broke the ice, so to speak. I embraced Ruthie and then we all entered the sitting room. Over the teacups, conversation flowed steadilv. Kessel asked if I knew what had become of the students that had gradulated with us. I told him I had kept an eye on the doings of all our fellow-graduates, and be- gan relating them to my guests. “Did you notice that portly and impressive leader at the Metropolitan Opera House? Well, that’s no other than Jooky Adoff. As a side line he speaks on the best way of swallowing pills. Lottie Berger keeps a “Clean Wash Laundry” and has as her as- sistants Irma Falk and Genevieve Garrigan. Mildred Taylor is the proprietor of a terpischore establishment, and Agnes Keogh and Emily Prach help her. Sophie Eisner has selected Harold Berla as her spouse, and she sends her brood to the “Select Seminary” . of which Rae Steinlauf is the head. Sophie Gelbond has turned out to be a famous interior decorator, and it is whispered she is making plans for the decoration of the house in which Helen Straussberg and Jerry Kridel are to live. Ethel Coe is in charge of a matri- monial agency, and she told me some of the recent applicants were Rose Greenstein and Sam Pedlosky, Celia Schwartz and Joseph Rothenberg, Rhoda Eder and Donald Fox. Meltzer is competing with Charlie Chaplin in slap-stick comedies, while Esther Gold- farb is said to be a worthy component of Mary Pick- ford’s steel.

Rosenberg is now a twenty- five thousand dollar a week basketball star of the first magnitude, and Les Cassidy is solemnly preach- ing behind the pulpit. It's really quite amusing, but many of our graduates have returned to the scenes of their childhood torture. Hannah Stein is teaching cutology, Ida Franceschini and Virgie Shipman are gymnastic instructors, Samuel Levin is coach of the football team, Mary Martinka teaches the pupils that one and one make two. Les Picot teaches loveology while Harry Meyer instructs the pupils how to parlez Francaise.

Morris Hal- perin conducts a ten cent novel store, while Wortsel is an all round handy man.

Wil- liam Dector is the world’s billiard champ, while Kat- zin is a model in a haberdashery. Biebelberg is a waiter in a beanery, and Mildred Redman keeps a hairdressing parlor. Whethem is in charge of the street cleaners, and Wanerman is life guard in the Morris Canal. By the way, La Bar has had again a free ride in a police patrol, for being too much of a lady killer. Usually he employs Farr as his attorney, but now, for reasons unknown, he is employing Fried- man the great jurist. Fannie Poll is a bookkeeper in a Shorthand Business College.

GERMAN DEPARTMENT E. W. TRIEss, Facultv Advisor ETHEL GOLDSTEIN, Reporter Students of Central, do vou know that we have fully established the teaching of German in Central High School? ‘This may seem a very strange thing to say, for it means that the pupils are not even tak- ing an interest in the affairs which affect them directly or indirectly. But it is true. However, I will con- tinue to expatiate upon the great advantages which are derived from the study of German. First of all, comes something we are ali interested in. ‘That is amusement. The study of the German language is not only a pleasant pastime but a very interesting one. The folk tales, stories of ancient gods are stories that will always find an appreciative reader. Then, Ger- man is also a very useful art. To be able to read, speak and write German is an asset to be proud of. Now that trade with Germany is increasing more and more, it may become an essential factor in the busi- ness world to be well versed in the German language so that correspondence between our country and Ger- many in its native language will become an every day occurence. So you see that the study of German has a three-fold advantage: l. A pleasant pastime. 2. A useful art. 3. A valuable business asset. GERMAN IN CENTRAL On September 1, 1921, the study of German was recontinued. That is, new classes were formed, the system of teaching was revised somewhat and Ger- man was on its way! We began with two classes, containing sixty pupils altogether and only with one teacher. The great advancement of the German lan- guage can be perceived by the past that now we have seven classes containing approximately 200 students conducted by three instructors. Progress in these classes is very rapid and the German period is a very interesting one. About once a month Mr. Triess plans to have Auditorium talks by the students, in French, German and Spanish. The first of these talks has already been given and was quite success- ful, In the higher grades Mr. Triess expects to have a play, so that the pupils are approaching a verv inter- sting time in their higher classes. We now come to the super-students l To do them justice we will place their names where everyone can gaze upon them and tclaim: ''Here are the super-students of German!” Among them we find a few familiar names, though ey all deserve an equal amount of praise. Ethel Goldstein Pauline Rakofsky Evelyn Port Saul Gross Sadie Grabelsky SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS “FOLLIES” A novelty in entertainments was presented by the Senior Class in the aduitorium on the night of May 5th. Mr. Schleicher, Faculty advisor and Leo Fisch- grund, student manager, assisted by Harold Berla and Morris Schlain, molded together quite an artisti- cally talented group of students. The show was a success both financially and socially and the audience was well satisfied with the evening’s procedures. “School Days,” “Three Jokers and a Queen, “Four Minstrels,” “Kelly and Kotel,” and ‘The Location” were the outstanding features of the minia- ture musical comedy. The results of the show only help to prove that we possess the most versatile group of students in the country. We have never had a failure in any branch of activity. The cast included Leo Fischgrund, Lester Breten- heimer, Sid Kotel, Bill Kelly, Abe Schocket, Her- man Rice, Arthur Chivian, Herman Levinson, Benny Hershfield, George Cooper, Donald Fox and Leslie Cassidy. Female members were Rhoda Eder, Val- erie Lewkowicz, Anita Span, Rae Steinlauf, and Selma Axt. Orchestration was furnished by Bill Mendel’s pop- ular jazzonaders, who performed in very suitable fashion. An exhibition unmber was furnished by an outside band. ASK QUESTIONS! When you first take up shorthand remember this: “Do not be afraid to ask questions.” Your whole stenographic career depends on your asking questions. If you do not have a good foundation you will never find your way to the path of success. Your teacher will not think that you are stupid if you ask him a question. When you leave the classroom that day, he will think you know the lesson and he will ex- pect you to know it again. He wants you to pass the term almost as much as you want to yourself. He will not grudge you a little time to enlighten you on the subject. Don't be timid! Ask questions! Daisy ESKOWITZ. LIFE'S DARN FUNNY By SOPHIE S. OPPENHEIM Percival Dinsmore was a fine young boy, He never told a lie, With the fair sex he was coy, He was one good guy. He went to school on time each day, He'd never cut a class. And when the piano he would plav, [here was no raggy jazz. He'd do his work each night and day, Wore clothes sedate and prim, He never missed his prayers to say, Was stern, forbidding, grim. But now, behold; Percy is seen Each night in the “Golden Calf,” Does funny stunts, stands on his bean, That all the world may laugh. Jimmie McGee was of different make, He was a regular boy, He loved to swim, sickness to fake, His sister to annoy. He never came to school on time, Would cut a class or two, Was on speaking terms with 209 The room that made you blue. He wore a loud and flaring tie, Trousers, width twenty-four, A caved-in hat, that seemed to sigh, Of days it knew no more. But if to church, my dears you go, At the pulpit you will see, Preaching earnestly of “Love Your Foe,” Our old friend, Jimmie McGee. ORAL MAGAZINE REPORT This is a specimen of an oral magazine report as given in a 4A class by Rae G. Steinlauf. Mr. Bruhn discusses “An Efficient System for Conserving Your Time Expenditures' in the “Filing and Office Management Magazine.” While it must be admitted, that many labor-saving plans have been worked out, it is likewise a fact, that little or nothing has been developed to help the man who works at a desk do his job quicker or better. For this reason, Mr Bruhn describes the following method that has proved of much help to him, especially when there has been more work demanding his attention than h ordinarily tackles. ie AIl that is necessary for this plan is a pad and If we have six or eight tasks demanding our attention, and all of them more or less of importance, penc il we should jot these down in the order in which they occur to us. ] l Havin: put down the tasks, we have through this 7 ] 1 1 act gained control over them, for a person who 10 not use this plan IS depenidng on his mind, there- yy increasing the worrisome thought that some duty be OV erlooked. l may Of course you may say that this is unnecessary ork, but the real “brass-tacks” worth of this plan his that it gives you a certain ease oÍ by reason of the fact that at the time you am disposing your task a half dozen others are not bid. ding for your attention. You know that all your duties are entered on the pad and that you are disposing of them in a defnite way. Having made note of the lesser duties as well as the more important ones, you know that they can't annoy you at the time you are concentrating on some- thing else. It is a good plan always to finish the job that is in hand, not because of its worth in itself, but because of the fact that it has been undertaken, and it is there- fore entitled to the time you intended to give it. [he time therefore allotted to this plan is necessary. If you were given a thousand dollars each morning of which to make the best use, would you not feel justified in planning each expenditure? Therefore ac- quire the habit of scheduling. [his is but one of the very interesting topics dis- cussed in the Filing and Office Management Mage zine. RAE G. STEINLAUF. SENIOR A's By E. M.
