To Dance or Not to Dance Centralities you have a problem to solve. 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.
