BOYLE, Advertising A STADIUM BY The agitation for a thoroughly adequate and up- to-date stadium on our city field, is more than timely. The present accommodations are woefully unsatis- factory. It has got to the point that our high schools are staging their important games outside of the city. They know very well that the game itself should draw a large crowd, but the discomforts of our city field will discourage attendance more than good sportsman- ship will attract. We need a new stadium. No one denies it, but where are we going to get it? The city is already over-burdened with taxation. Our schools are running in double shifts because we have no money to erect new buildings. We cannot ask the city to build us a stadium. The Broad of Education is right: the tax-payers will not stand it. The pres- ent welfare and future prosperity of our city depend on keeping taxes down, but Newark needs a stadium, and Newark knows how. We can have a stadium Another graduation draws near. This one means more to the Pivot Board than all the other gradua- tions combined. Five members, including the editor- in chief and the associate editors are leaving school this February to pursue their courses in the higher schools of learning. ‘They have given the best in them to make the Pivot the best paper in the United States. Their efforts have not been in vain. From every State in the Union has praise been showered on the Pivot. It is eargerly sought for by every high school, and many colleges in the country. Yes, even a college in China has requested a copy of ihe Prvor. Many students in the school have approached me with the question whether I received any renumeration for the work I did on the Pivot Board. I answere d them that the only renumeration anyone receives on the Ріхот is the satisfaction of seeing an issue published and sold. We of the Pivot Board have given our services free to the Pivot. We have done what we felt was the duty of Centralites; to give as much as possible of ourselves and our time for the benefit of SUBSCRIPTION as easily as rolling off alog. Т� е city cannot afford it, but the people can. The city of East Orange could not afford to build their new stadium but the citizens and the school children of East Orange bought stadium bonds, and raised the money. Nobody thought the bonds would pay dividends, but they do. The people gave this money for a stadium as a present to the young people of their city, but the indications are that the stadium as a financial proposition will pay back every penny subscribed. Let a committee of live Newarkers take this matter in hand and Newark, the unconquerable Newark ihat financed its 250th An- niversary, its new Board of Trade building, and its spendid athletic club wil! provide a stadium for the city field without even turning a hair. High school students, you know the men that can put this thing over—set ihem io work, right now. --О. W. Snodgrass. THE PIVOT That we have done our duty toward our school, we have no doubt. We feel proud that we were called upon to do it. Repeated requests have come from the Ріуот Board for students to do their share for the Pivot, but our students think more of getting financial remuneration for their work than of giving a helping hand to the school. Today the Pivot needs some students with executive ability to direct its course in the future. Will you students of Central volunteer to take our places when we are gone? Are you prepared to take upon yourselves the responsibility of keeping the Pivot the best school paper in the country. as has been done in the past? If you are ready to do your share, arrange for an interview with Mr. Snodgrass or the new editor-in-chief, Elizabeth Jay. Both will teach and direct you as to ihe meth- ods of the Pivot. The PIVOT needs real true blue blooded Centralites with a sparkle of red blood in them to fight their way to success. See if you are capable of winning for yourself a place on the Pivot. —L.

He is waiting for the least bit of carelessness on your part to present you with one of his gifts. If you are desirous of obtaining a present from him, just run out of the house without a hat or overcoat, or walk around in ihis slushy weather without rubbers. You will receive the, best gifts from him if you do these. However, as a-friend of yours, I advise you not to get too intimate with friend Winter. He is a treacher- ous friend, and may be the cause of your sojourn in bed for a great while. Just follow mother’s recipe, on rubbers and a hat and overcoat before and put 2 C You will not only be do- coming to school mornings. ing yourself an injustice if you don't obey her urg- ings, but you will inflict upon her anxieties which she does not deserve. No one will watch over you, if you develop pneumonia, except your mother. Remember, for her sake. don't catch cold now. If you do, you are in for an entire season of disappointment because your friends will refuse to go near you, if they find that you are sick. You know every one looks out for himself today, and no matter how true they are to you when you are healthy, when you have a con- tagious sickness, they will not visit you. They will fear for themselves. Now in order to keep your friends and be in a healthy condition always follow mother’s prescription. —L. С. LEADERS WANTED Leaders in school activities are needed in Central. It seems that with every graduation class a certain boy or girl graduates around whom a club has grown. After graduation the club dies, and there is no one to assume the work of reorganizing it. This happens term in and term out. Now in our school we have many boys who can become leaders if they so desire. As for the girls. they have proved their capability for leadership on more than one ocassion. Once upon a time in Central we had approximately forty clubs, which included two debating societies, two dramatic organizations besides a host of athletic and social aggregations. Where are they today? Are we sinking below the social level of our predecessors? We have three times as many students at Central to- day as we ever had before. This means that there ought to be a great number of clubs and organizations ALUMNI Again the Alumni comes to the front with their annual dinner to be held at Achtel-Stetters on Febru- ary 7. Last year the dinner held in the same place was a huge success. Graduates of classes from 1912 up to the present time, attended that dinner. It was a gratifying sight to see these men and women who were the boys and girls of this school. Some of them had international reputations. Some had earned fame in the army, others in the musical world, still others to promote a friendly feeling among students. It seems the opposite, however. The A. M. students are total strangers to the P. M. students. When a Pivot comes out, very few students purchase it. Does this mean that the students are losing their school spirit? If that is the case, it were far better if they left the school, and made room for active school- spirited students. We don't want any sluggards in this school. We haven't any room for them. We need workers. To lose your school spirit, to lose interest in the activities of the school, means that your mentality is affected. Something is wrong with you, and I would advise seeing a specialist. You cannot possibly be in your right health if you cannot become interested in your school paper and your school’s doings. DINNER in law and medicine. Almost every field of activity had its representative a former Centralite at this din- ner. We. in Central today, can be proud of the achieve- ments of our fellow-students who preceded us into the world of activity. They have made good. It is up to us to follow in their footsteps, and to uphold the reputation that they have established for Central graduates. We must do it. —L с.

THE BLUEBIRD—MAURICE MAETERLINCK By Epna CANN Led by the fairy Berylune At the time of night when reigns King Moon Two little children, so I have heard, Set out in search of a happy bluebird. With them they took, I've heard said, Fire and water, sugar and bread, Dog and cat as well as light. It must have been a pleasant sight. They roamed through kingdoms far and wide, But in one of them did the bird abide. At times they found birds, it is true, But the blue in the bird soon faded from view. To the Land of Memory and the Palace of Night, And through the forest where they did fight, And last to the Land of the Future they came Where little children work for fame. Then back to their home the party did wind Where the children bade “Good-bye”” to their friend 6 And all through the night, in bed they lay Until the sun declared it was day. When they awoke 'twas Christmas day And a nearby neighbor stepped in to say, “A Merry Christmas to everyone, And may you all have loads of fun. These two children remembered then That his little crippled daughter of ten Longed for a bird exactly like theirs, Which soon would make her forget her cares. Generous children, they would be So they gave to this girl, the golden key That opened a door to joy and health Which to her meant more than wealth. If you possess some great big treasure Which you know would give someone else pleasure, Like the two children, give it away And in the end you'll find ‘twill pay. FROM ауа ашы. PRINCIPAL’ (7 ‘TO PARENT | } | | Hi ГЕ January 25, 1923. DEAR PARENTS: Thoughtless disregard of orders and inattention to work during recitations cause constant loss of time to indifferent and careless pupils. There is a time for everything under the sun—a time to attend, a time to be lax. Т� е time to be lax in one's efforts is equally as important as the time to attend to work; but work unaffected by carelessness must be carried on and com- pleted before ever there is any relaxation from work. Remember the dull disregarder, the sleepy non- observer, the active members of the Careless Club, cost the taxpayers of the City of Newark many thousands of dollars because of mistakes and careless- ness at school and abroad in the city. Careless young people are the plague of themselves and a school. Carelessness as well as a lack of punctuality should be considered a social crime and a civic misdemeanor. Urge your children to be dutifully careful and punctual in all they undertake at home and in school. Very truly yours, РА Veer Principal. “HOW DOES THE HIGH SCHOOL MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE BUSINESS MAN?” Schools should be a part of the real world, and never institutions isolated from it or where unreal or impractical conditions exist. The only way in which the school can become an agent of a comprehensively co-operative character with business, is by the place- ment in it of instructors who have had successful busi- ness experiences in the lines in which they are teach- ing. From a viewpoint of administrative efficiency, it appears to me vital for the successful training of re- cruits in the business field, that no expense should be spared by boards of education in securing and ap- pointing to the commercial schools only those instruc- tors whose educational training coupled with testi- monials affrming successful business experience, war- rants their appointment to the responsible position of inspiration and leadership in the teaching of the funda- mentals and ideals of successful business enterprises. What does business expect of a school? To an- swer this question there must be at hand a knowledge of the type and kind of business to be considered. If it is of a manufacturing or industrial nature iechnical preparation in industrial and technical fundamentals must be offered to enable individuals io understand and work in them. If the business is commercial in character schools should give that rudimentary train- ing in the principles of office work and practice which will enable the individuals taking the courses for the carrying on of business, to apply those principles and the working knowledge obtained in the schools to actual practice with the least possible delay. It is necessary that certain subjects appear in every course of training given by schools, whether for direct application to life work or to college. English is one of these subjects. The thorough and enforced train- ing in the use and handling of the English language during every year of school attendance is vital, essen- tial, and fundamental. For English well handled, when based upon a careful knowledge of the. subjects under consideration, is the lever which aids in over- coming trying obstacles in business plans. English is often a factor in bringing co-operation and success to plans which otherwise would miscarry, because of lack of clearness or tactless formulation of ideas and business thought. Let me at this point interpolate, however, that “the three R's” must, as a matter of course be continually, strongly stressed as the beginning of all business wis- dom. Т� е arch of business knowledge having as its keystone the three R's is one of the strongest parts of the framework of the structure of a successful busi- ness career. The educational or disciplinary, the economic or social value of all school subjects should frequently be discussed with the students by well trained teachers and by outsiders who have been successful in the con- duct of large business enterprises. For even the best intentioned young people continually loose heart in their daily work, unless shown by distinterested folks from the perspective of successful business, that every bit of training in the school functions toward increas- ing the chances individual for success if properly taken advantage of. We must ever bear in mind that that school which is simply capable of training in ihe performance of routine duties, is as narrow and deadening in ambition and initiative to pupils, as are vocational schools whose chief purpose is to encourage and insist upon very limited individual specializations. Short sighted manu- facturers and business managers whose only thought is to have human machines pour money into the cor- poration coffers at the sacrifice of the manhood and personality of the individual workers, in the end de- srtoy their own business, because they-develop a type of labor which is unstable, uninterested, unreliable. and in critical periods it becomes disloyal to its own corporate interests. To avoid this outcome, it is neces- to enrich school courses of study with such subjects as will constantly bring the cultural appreciations of life to the commercial students. Nevertheless, thor- oughness, accuracy, and neatness must be required in all the work done for the school. A proper apprecia- tion of the above trinity, thoroughness, accuracy, neat- ness, will prove helpful to commercial students in their business experiences. [he glamour of business attracts many people io- wards a business career. To the casual observer of large affairs bysiness seems a simple, attractive propo- sition. Yet many of us forget that the rules of busi- ness advancement are governed by common sense and are based strictly on individual merit. It is ihe duty of schools to teach this fact. No one should enter upon a business career who has not either personally or through a psychologist or employment manager as a judge, had himself carefully considered and appraised as to his qualifications for business. All schools should advise misfits in commercial work to enter courses of study only for which they find themselves naturally fitted. Should this procedure of selective advisement be generally followed in all schools, the labor turnover in business would be greatly reduced as much of this turnover is due to the unsuitability of labor to the duties often assumed by workers. Sincere psychologists in the schools could remedy much of this trouble by proper vocational guidance. These psycho- logists. or otherwise properly instructed and qualified should teach pupils of the schools such rudimentary principles of personal psychology as would enable them to better understand the men and women with whom they come in contact in salesmanship, be it of self or of materials. ‘The school must develop a power of initiative, to be aroused, stimulated, guided and employed for the mutual advantage of both employer and employee. It can do this by encouraging boys and girls to think constantly for the interests of the school and for them- selves. 7 In many schools throughout the country there have been appointed by the school authorities, deans for girls. I have always felt that our boys should also systematically have the benefit of the experience of broad-minded men of affairs or others qualified to guide and inspire them to the fullest appreciation of business ethics and conduct and its many ramifications. Such men could and women could help in fixing in the young mind of our day the homely and old-fashioned principles of business honor which underly business success. At the present time there is a decided shortage of the higher types of clerical and industrial help. A similar condition also prevails in the ranks of manual labor. Therefore, it is the duty of the schools to step into the breach to train and supply for all of these fields workers who have been as systematically, thor- oughly and carefully prepared for business as have been prepared the teachers who were trained for work in the field of general education. The school must furnish through an iron-clad dis- cipline, tampered with sympathy and understanding of adolescent pupils, a training in the ability of taking orders and executing them without knowing the reason for the orders and without being permitted to question them. Strict, prompt, and unquestioned obedience must become the second nature of the novitiate in business to insure success. The discipline і� the schools must, therefore, be strict and thoughtful in every department of instruction. Strong charactered types of manliness and womanliness, and of genuine sympathy should preside over each subject taught in the school. Furthermore, the personel of the teaching staff must be composed of individuals who by ex- ample and precept stand for the best effort of stu- dents and who have a working knowledge of how the deed is best done, namely to force pupils through an appreciation of the ideals of strict discipline, to do well for their future employers and for themselves. THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY YOUNG MEN SHOULD STUDY SHORTHAND The value of any subject as a study is measured by the power it develops in the pupil to think, to plan, and to execute; the degree of vigor, poise and alert- ness in mental activity which it produces. Judged by this standard alone, the posibilities of mental discipline involved in the training received by the shorthand stu- dent are without a doubt very great. Exact thinking is developed by insisting upon accurate outlines, artistic shorthand penmanship, and good useable transcripts. Exact thinking can only be developed by intense con- centration. Taking dictation requires a concentration scarcely equalled by any other high school subject. During this process the mind cannot wander and n either can the hand cease its action. Furthermore, the memory is strengthened for the mind must retain many words of the dictator while writing others. In the process of transcribing his notes the student be- comes his own critic, his own proof reader as it were, and for discipline in practical English there is perhaps nothing better than proof reading. And so his daily work acts as a corrective in spelling, punctuation, cap- italization, syllabication and paragraphing. The pos- sibilities for increasing his vocabulary also are marvel- ous. It would seem then that the study of shorthand from the standpoint of its educative value is a highly desirable one to pursue, but in addition to this its commercial value has never been questioned. Big business men today require efficient helpers. The stenogapher who can make himself eyes and cars for an able man is in a pretty good position to be pro- moted to that man's post. Dozens of instances could be told of big business men who began their business careers as stenographers. You have all heard the story of Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the biggest bank in America; he was stenographer and secretary to Lyman Gage, a business man who became U. 5. Secretary of the Treasury. George B. Cortelyou too, was a stenographer and got most of his education tak- ing a business course. If these instances seem far re- moved from the realm of the high school student he has only to look nearer him for an inspiration and he will find Mayor Martens of East Orange who started as a stenographer. Probably there are many men in Newark who began on the very lowest rung of the ladder as stenographers. There is no promotion for the stenographer who is satisfied to write out letters and lay them on the em- ployer's desk; there is much more to be done before the transaction is completed and it is the work of the stenographer to see that it is accomplished. He should be not only a stenographer, but also an executive and the more he knows of history, science, and current events the better, for he will find an opportunity to use everything he knows. “Т� е price of success, says Elbert Hubbard, “is work, and he who renders a great service will receive a great return.” When you read this issue of ihe Pivot, ihe time for another Commencement will be drawing near, and in the class that will be graduated there will be a number of stenographers. In passing, it is well to note that their training has only just begun. Their real education will come when they are face to face with the responsibilities of their first job, for education is not merely knowledge, it is the development of power which comes from meeting the demands of a situation and considering facts and incidents in relation to the business as a whole. If you will take the time to look over our list of graduates, you wil! discover one very noticeable fact; it is that only one young man who will go out as a graduate has completed a shorthand course. And this should rightfully lead to the question: Why do not more young men take up this course which offers such great possibilities in the business world? When a young man goes to work in a business or- ganization, he will learn the business in a more in- timate way, through writing and reading the letters of his superior, than many another employee could, and when he has achieved advancement to the job higher up his training will not stop there, even if he no longer makes use of the tool by which he gained his promotion. He will not measure his success by the value of the technical details which he has learned, for these will be of advantage to him only in the line of business in which he is engaged, but the mental training which he has gained will beneht him no matter where he works. His stenographic skill has only been the means of bringing him to the attention of the man who can place him in the way of higher and better things. Executives who were formerly stenographers agree that the greatest benefit to be derived from do- ing stenographic work well lies in the ability to meet emergencies. If young men understood properly the possibilities of this field of endeavor, would they not be more in- clined to elect shorthand training as a part of their high school course ? CONSOLATION TO SENIORS A boy once by a Chem lab passed, And heard a teacher's voice Speak to a boy the things he said To him seemed rather choice. So you've been cutting, he said to him. The poor boy answered “уез”; “It’s just you kind of chaps,” said he, “That make this school a mess.” Now what's your idea of cutting? he said, “Do you thınk you can do as you will? I'm afraid you will find it quite different, When you come to pay the bill.” “I think ГЇЇ be rather lenient though, Since I see it's your first offence ; So I'll give you a week in 108 “Them Days are Gone Forever.” To think of the consequence. —Bill Miller. By EMiLY FRIEDMAN “Bunk!” Bartel Overton waved his hand derisively, and burst into a throaty laughter. Fred Newton turned and glowered indignantly at his friend. No one likes to be ridiculed, least of all a staid senior. “I tell you, it is not bunk!” he declared with char- acteristic vehemence. “Т� е story I just told you is absolutely true. Do you mean to say,” Bartel queried, arching his brows with mock incredulity, “that a man who has never run an airplane before in his life can step into one and make a successful trip in it?” “Why, surely! answered Fred with the positive- nes of a man who is convinced that he is right. But, he continued, you must remember that it is necessary for this man to be spurred on by a deeper emotion than mere reckless daring. The object of our argument, as you know, was о� an island. Не spent several years there, and one day a wreck was washed upon the beach which contained all the necessary equipment to construct a complete flying machine. Well, he managed to put the different parts together. filled the tank, and flew off to the nearest civilized island which was several hundred miles away. As you see, with this man it was a question of life or death. It was absolutely improbable that a ship would ever rescue him, as the island was far off the course of any vessel; naturally, pressed by circum- stances, he took a chance and came out of it alive.” Bunk! repeated Bartel, you only read of such things in books. I don't think anyone, no matter how necessary it was, could do a thing he had never done before. Meanwhile they had reached the end of the street on which they had been walking. With a brief So long —Bartel and Fred parted. Fred going home- ward, while Bartel turned toward the dock. Here he was to take pretty Jean Thiebalt for a sail upon the river. Bartel Overton, a clean-cut, lithe youth, was a com- parative newcomer to Forthawan, a town which nestled demurely between the River Shaset, Mt. Owl- ing and the Atlantic Ocean. Не, too, was a senior at the Forthawan High School. The winter before, he had been acclaimed far and wide as hero of the gridiron. The fellows admired him for his daring and sportsmanship; the girls admired him for his impudent good looks. Не had been attracted to Jean Thiebalt from the very first, and now it was common gossip that Jean would look at no one else. Several days before, Bart had received a trim sail boat as a gift from his father. Sailing was a popular sport among the younger folks. But at this time of the year, the latter part of April, it was rather precarious upon the river, as storms were very frequent and sud- den. However, anxious to try out the new sail boat, Bart and Jean had made arrangements to venture out. As Bart came upon the dock where his boat was moored Jean was already waiting. “I thought you weren't ever coming, Bart, was Jean's greeting as she smiled up into his face. Bart flushed slightly. He had never quite over- come his shyness before her. “І am sorry, Jean, he said. Fred and I were having quite an argument, and I suppose we were walking too leisurely. “Tell me about it!” I will as soon as we are out on the river, and Bart busied himself with his boat. He uncoupled it, helped Jean to her place, pulled up the sail and in a few minutes they were on their way towards Pirates’ Islands, a picnicking rendezvous about half a mile from the shore. When one is with a person who is very interesting, one very seldom pays much attention to time or place. So it was with Bart. [Inexperienced mariner as he was, he paid little or no heed to aught else but his companion. He did not notice that the riplets of the river had increased in size; he did not heed the increas- ing force of the wind; he did not see the gathering grayness of the heavens; he was too engrossed in the tinkling melody of Jean's chatter; he was too happy. Bart had related his discussion with Fred, and their mirth echoed over the water. Suddenly, without a moment’s warning, ihe sky became black and the wind rose, lashing the waves into a fury. Involuntarily, Jean screamed, and be- fore Bart could lower his sail the force of the wind tore it out of his hands. Jean had been sitting facing him. The short boom swung around, caught her squarely in the chest and threw her into the whirling water. Dumbfounded and filled with consternation, Bart seized his helm and tried in vain to bring the craft around in the face of the wind. But with every minute it was carried further down stream by the current. The blow had rendered her partly unconscious, but the coldness of the water had somewhat restored her sense. Seeing her predicament, she went into a coma. Panic-stricken, Bart rose at the risk of capsizing the boat. Не tore the upright mast from its mooring and with it tried to reach Jean; but she was out of reach. His face blanched, he eyes burned as his throbbing brain seemed to pulse against them. It was too late for self-reproach or remorse, it was too late; for wish- ing could not bring Jean back to him. Even as he knelt in the boat and reached out his arms to her cry- ing hopelessly, Jean! Jean! Не saw her sink. A groan of anquish escaped from his. lips, and with a cry that might have been a curse, that might have been a prayer. he flung himself into the water that had metamorphosed from its placid gentleness to roaring ferocity. For several moments, Bart beat the water with his hands. Everything about him seemed black. Не struck out in Jean's direction. А great depression seized him. Years seemed to pass, and what was that people said about your reviewing your life while’ you were drowning? He wondered when he would start. He wondered what he would think. There was something he was holding. He wondered why he held so tightly. Vaguely he imagined he was hold- ing on to the boat. And in his other arm there was something too. From the distance, a great, great dis- tance, he could hear voices. What were they saying? What did they mean? Не wished they would tum out that gleaming light ; Bart opened his eyes with a start. Dazedly he looked about him. It was his bed, it was his room, and here sitting beside him was Jean. Не blinked, trying to shake off a stupor which seemed to envelop him. Jean was smiling, and as he moved to speak she reproved it by placing her fingers gently upon his lips. “The doctor said you are to be kept absolutely quiet, he warned him. But what happened? demanded Bart, ignoring Jean's admonition. Why, don't you remember? replied Jean. “After I fell into the river you jumped in after me and held on to the boat until Fred arrived with the launch. You saved my life!” “I saved your life? faltered Bart. At this point the door opened softly and Fred walked in. Yes! You saved Jean's life, he vouchsafed. “At the same time you almost drank up the whole River Shaset. It was lucky that you told me you were going on the river with Jean. When the storm broke loose and you had not returned, 1 became worried and went out in a motor launch with Jean's father.” “Yes, Bart, dear, Jean added warmly, as she pressed his hand. “Dad says your the bravest fellow ever. But, Jean, protested Bart weakly, how could I ever have saved you? Why. 1 г “That's just и! exclaimed Fred, his eyes beam- ing. He can't swim, Jean! I'll say he's the bravest ever!” Bart blushed to the roots of his hair. “Bunk!” he murmured.

Certainly, sweetheart, he said. One more kiss, and off he went for five hours of work, and then. Ah! He would see Lucille again. The hours rolled on. At 2:30 P. М. his figure bounded up his steps. He thrust himself into the house. But! Where was Lucille? “Dearest Percival: Have gone to Chinatown to buy an oriental din- ner gong for Aunt Julia. Sorry about the Library. “Lucille.” “Lucille to Chinatown,” he gasped. Oh! What shall he do? Chinatown where murderers lurked, daggers flew, drunkards abounded, opium dens flour- ished! His precious Lucille was there. Oh! He must save her. Hatless he dashed toward Chinatown. The streets grew narrower and dirtier. Everywhere there was a gloomy, evil orienetal aspect. What did he care? He must find Lucille. Ah! There was the shop where they sold oriental dinner gongs. Probably his Lu- cille was there. He scanned the place. No—but yes—there was a woman sitting with her back toward him at the farther end of the shop. Only her black hair showed. Let’s see. Did Lucille have black hair? Yes! It must be she. At last she was safe. He dashed over to her and cried, “Lucille.” Horrors! Not his blue-eyed beautiful Lucille, but a squint-eyed, yellow-faced Chinese woman. With a grasp in his throat he fled from the shop. Maybe someone at this moment was thrusting a dagger into Lucille’s throat. She was now probably a corpse, bloody and cold. Oh! Не must find her, dead or alive. So in and out of the gloomy alleys he wanders. Suddenly a blood-curling shriek rent the air. It come from the building at his side. It must be Lu- | наш� и | H. R. 202 A. M. | HON. PERCIVAL HUMPHREY REGINALD JONES cille, his precious! They were probably murdering her. Up the filthy steps he bounded. Another shriek came from the door in front of him. “Oh, God! Don't let them kill her, he prayed. He burst into the room. “Lucille, my darl No Lucille met his eyes. Only evil-eyed Chinks were squatting on the floor smoking opium. Where is she? he cried. A gun was raised toward him. behind. Where is she? | heard her shriek, my darling Lucille, Percival explained. “I gave dat shriek,” a grinning Chink replied. Melican man al'ays wanta be here. He hear a shriek. He try save shrieker. We shriek when Melican man pass house. Melican man rush in to save woman. We ask money, � о get—we kill him,” was the laconic exp lanation of the Chink between puffs of his pipe. Percival Humphrey Reginald Jones closed his eyes. He had been fooled. His Lucille was not there. Money, or—” the tone was suggestive. Percival gulped. The dagger and the pistol were uncom- fortably close. He slowly handed over his wallet, containing half his week's salary. Dazed, he found himself outside on the pavement. There was now no hope for Lucille. Slowly he re- turned home, the tears streaming over his face. He opened the door of his empty house. Wha-a-t! His Lucille—his sunny-eyed beauty stood before him. “АҺ, sweetheart, how glad I am to see you. I had the loviest time this afternoon, she said. ' he gasped. Charlotte called up and invited me to the theatre, so I didn't go to Chinatown. But darling Percival, what has happened? she asked as she beheld his half-dried tears. “No-o-thing, sweetheart, he murmured. Later, turning his empty pockets inside out, “Меуег again, swore the Hon. Percival Humphrey Reginald Jones. EM A dagger from CLASS PROPHECY By IDA MARGOLES The pitter patter of the rain and the warmth of the room as I sat in my Morris chair gradually con- trived to make me drowsy and I fell asleep. With a start I awoke. The cuckoo clock informed me it was eight o'clock. I realized it was too late for my Authors’ and Editors’ meeting. Instinctively, it seemed, my eyes rested on the graduation picture of my class, that of February, 1923. It was now twenty years after that eventful commencement night. What changes had taken place! І had been keeping what I call a Pandora box all these years, because in it I had put all the interesting things which I later on used in my plots. Opening the trunk the first thing I saw was my old diary. І had stopped writing in it some ten years before. I opened it with some curiosity and came across the following: May 2, 1933. The events of yesterday can best be accounted for by the extract from the newspaper which I have pasted here. Mayor GOLDMAN GIVES Picnic (So He Can Have Enough to Eat) Many notables attended the mayor's picnic. Bar- ney Koplin, coach of Penn State University, who has earned an international reputation, was seated in the grand stand. Herman Levenson, official seller of kosher hot dogs was very distinguished-looking. Mrs. Levenson, nee Dorothy Silverman, arrived with her small family of six. She was awarded a Roosevelt medal. Allen Ross was given as first prize a package of chewing gum, manufactured by William Kasen, for winning the greased pig race. The regular oration was delivered by Max Berk, instructor at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. Jeanette Satz recalled to us the days of Camelia Sabie by winning the turtle race. Some excitement was caused when Julia Cohen fell into the pink lemonade, but Michael D Andres happening along, the finest policeman that ever graced the ranks, rescued the fair damzel in distress. Alfred Tokar, the well-known street cleaner, cleaned the place up—by collecting money. Several of the doughnut sellers were Elmer Hamhardt, Willis Tice, and Leon Gorka. АП those who partook of the refreshments regarded the picnic as a success. June 24, 1933. My, but I am tired after yesterday. Wow! 5о- ciety day certainly takes heavy toll! Mrs. Herman Shapiro gave a wonderful ball. 1 can't somewhow reconcile Elizabeth Jay as married, she was so successful as the dean of Wellesly Col- lege, but she and Herman are happy. 1 don't blame Elizabeth for she and Florence Green always were inseparables. I remember their double wedding so well. Florence is Mrs. Richard Abeles now. Eliza- beth always has secured the best, so 1 didn't wonder she had Mr. William Mendel's orchestra of interna- tional fame to play her dance music. I met Max Landis the manufacturer of baby ribbon, there. Bill Miller was there with his little wife, the former Lavinia Von Knobloch. There were so many others that I guess if I put them all down, this will look more like a directory than a diary. But somehow I couldn't remember the ball without remembering Bessie Berson, the French shoe string seller, Beatrice Rogensof, mother of three of the nicest little girls; Michael D'Andrea, manufac- turer of green pills; David Needel, who by the way married Lillian Sussman and who is conducting a ma- trimonial agency, assisted by Louis Pischittel, and Frank Cereto. Frank certainly did not have to apply to a matrimonial agency, for ever since his school days Mathilda Padula was his sweetheart and it was but natural she should be his lovely bride. Late in the evening Elizabeth entertained us with a motion picture program. As we sat there I re- ceived a shock for laughing as in the days of yore, with her many dimples and beauty marks, was Sadie Rosen as the Juvenile lead in “Broken Hearts.” It wasn't so shocking after all for even in the old days she was famous as a beauty. Among others in the cast were Mildred Engleman, Daisy Eskowitz, Flor- ence Freeman, Harry Friedlander, Joseph Bornstein, Abraham Cohen and Philip Colt. Dorothy Elins was the costume designer and Marion Israel, her assistant. The director was Louis De Benedette. There fol- lowed a slow motion picture of athletic news showing Caffrey winning the Olympic two-cent race. І� the News of the Day was Franklin Wintsch registering his famous grin. He is as boyish as ever, even though he is Treasurer of the United States. Side by side we saw Dina Gerber. prize beauty, and John Denver, the famous Irish politican. With pleasant goodbyes and promises to show up soon again we left our delightful hostess to seek our beauty sleep. June 30, 1933. I visited a Broadway musical comedy yesterday, written by Jean Seco. I remember she was our class poetess and the jolliest girl! George Gilman, of course wrote the music. How happy he must be to achieve his heart’s desire. I admit that there were some outsiders in that show but when I saw Evelyn Miller as leading lady, assisted so meritoriously by Anna Fink, Sophie” Newtes, Marie Potter, Ethel Goldstein, Gertrude Schnarr and Irene Luchs, it was hard to believe. The leading man was Irving Rosen- berg, leader now as in days gone by. Í don't wonder, Irving always was a diplomat. It's too bad now `1 recall it, that Valerie Lew- kowicz married. Yes, Gordon Simmonds by the way. I was just thinking how wonderful she was in the part of Lady Macbeth. But thus is life. August 13, 1933. I went to the insane asylum yesterday. No, it wasn't the heat, it was merely to investigate certain atrocious charges. I heard that the poor prisoners were fed only on the moon and green cheese. I found that the head keeper was Frances Delaney, assisted by Mathilde Beller. There was one particular sad case. A young woman pessimist got so that she thought she was the color blue. In one other case a woman buyer for a house which dealt with Paris and New York thought that she had become a dress and so the poor thing had to be confined here. I was informed that a group of progressive teachers were also investigating the charges. How delighted was I to see Helen Tresch, Mathilda Scotch, Lillian Schnatz, Genieve Rizzolo, Marie O'Conner, Selma Mink, Frances Wollman, Elizabeth Hoffman, Thelma Moskowitz and Miriam Gorlin. Why we had а regular crying party because we were so glad io see each other (and not because we were in the insane asylum). 'Scotchie informed me that David Kampf Where Do You Eat? If you are dissatisfied with the food you are getting, come and see из. “Clean, Wholesome and Homelike is our motto. Prices right—food good. JOS. POSNER High and New Sts, Newark, N. J. had opened an old Batchelors’ Shop, his assistants be- ing Joseph. Issaccson, Herman Harris, Henry Harris, Arthur Heller and Stephon Hoffman. Sept. 10, 1933. Well, I did accomplish two things yesterday. I did some shopping and attended my Authors’ meet- ing. While shopping, guess whom I met? Well, it was Gertrude Wiss, married of course. I saw Wil- liam Kelly, who is a minister now; Edward Kreps, the famous saloon keeper (in the movies only), and Harry Krieger, editor of Lovelorn Kolumn” or the “Sigh.” Dora Bruder was buying baby clothes I noticed and Rosella Fishbein proved to be the owner of the de- partment store, having married the previous owner. It seemed wherever I went yesterday, I met somebody I knew. In the florist shop, I met Mathew Galansky buying roses, he blushingly told me for his grand- mother, but I stopped at court house to inquire about a deed and whom should I see but Josephine D'Troia doing the same thing as I. She had been willed a large estate and was looking to see if the title was clear. Ав we stood gossiping, in walks Lena Friedman with her brief case. It seems she has be- come a lawyer, following in her brother's footsteps. Well, this has been an eventful day. I may as well call it Remembrance Day, since Гуе met so many of my old classmates. I was so intent upon reading my diary that my heart missed a beat when I felt two strong hands cover my face, but it only proved to be my hubbie. “Say, how long has this been going о� ?” he queried on beholding my diary. I answered his question and then I told him how I had had the honor and pleasure of graduating with the best class—that of February, 1923, and from the finest school in the country, the Central High School of Newark, N.

In full possession of our faculties, we hereby bequeath the following items to our successors. May they be as successful as we have been. Article.| — We give and bequeath to our dear Alma Mater our learned and beloved Principal, Mr. Wiener, who has been our guide during our years at Central. Article П.-ХУе bequeath to our followers our esteemed and worthy faculty who have striven (often without result) to make us better educated and more useful citizens. Article III-—We bequeath with regret our faculty advisor, Mr. Conowitz, whose efforts have helped make our class a success. Article IV.—Of great importance is the bequest of “Ош Pivor. ’ It is without doubt the best pa- per in the world, and it is our hope that our suc- cessors will endeavor to keep established its pre- eminence. Article V.We do leave and bequeath the snake- like, snail-like lunch line. АҺ! Many’s the time we seniors have wended our weary and empty way through the arduous windings and shapes it often assumes and takes. Article VI.—Our most valuable excuses (written and oral) that we have used for four years (some- times more) with more or less success, we also must needs leave behind us. We give them to our successors, with the hope that they do not try them on the same teachers that we did. Article VII.—To the entire third floor (and espe- cially 303) we leave the odoriferous atmosphere that emanates from 302 and permeates all the surrounding territory after the cooking class has mixed I—wih— — — — —À. Article VIII.—To the unwary freshman, we bequeath the fountains installed apparently for drinking pur- poses only, but acting invariably in the capacity of shower-baths. Section 2.— To the same unsophisticated fresh- men, do we leave the tiresome stairways (up and down) hoping after an arduous climb on the wrong ones, they will not be captured by any of our esteemed faculty. Article IX.—For those who seek more knowledge than is good for them, we leave our library to- gether with the inspirational guidance of Miss Ruth L. Ward, with the hope that our successors will not have to leave without the desired knowl- edge. Article X.— To the 1C's we give the advice to laugh at the teacher's jokes, (experience is the best teacher). Article XI.—We do also bequeath to the walls of Central High our class picture with the hope that these faces will never адот the walls of Rogues Gallery, and act as an inspiration to the forth- coming generations of Central. Article XII.—We leave regretfully our famous and talented orchestra to those who have all day ex- tention on Thursday and can appreciate the melo- dious sounds issuing from our beloved auditorium. We also leave 108 to those who have not yet learned to get up in time to arrive at 8:15. We hope that they will appreciate the music of the machinery in 108 and the orchestra practice more than we did. And last, but not least, we leave to all, the curi- culum through which we have glided so eagerly. ly. This concludes the bequests of the class of Febru- ary 1923, and we do hereby nominate and appoint as our sole executor, Mr. William Wiener. In witness whereof, we do sign and seal, this, our last will and testament on the 215: day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1923 A. D. (Signed) DORA BRUDER, Attorney.

When it's done you're sorry, And awed by the story, And myst' ry of orient years. Tis told from Obok to the China sea. Oh! A green-eyed woman told it to me; A Leopard woman with mane of gold, And eyes that would make your blood run cold. Sleth was waiting-maid to a queen, An orient queen most wond'rous fair, Who loved the Captain of the Guard, For whom she daily dressed her hair, With golden trinkets, and jewels gay, Or flowers in rich and fragrant array. Nightly under the silver moon, She combed it, and hummed a little tune, As she thought of the eyes, and the muscles hard Of Ahmed, captain of the guard. The ears of Sleth were wondrous keen АҺ!--зо acute were they They heard a lover's whisper In the desert miles away; They heard the tick-tick of the palms In Mecca far away; The chants of sailors as they sang Far oer Baiae's bay. Compliments from Н. К. 218 Now Sleth thus gifted was not wise, And sougth her own undoing For ‘neath the full moon on a night She heard this captain wooing, And sure it was proud Azra’s voice That soft response, renewing. Now Sleth with jealousy was filled, And straightway told another. It passed on thus from mouth io mouth Each maiden told ihe other, Until to Azra's ears it came She straightway sent for Sleth Who trembling much before her came Expecting naught but death. The queen to Ahmed said some word He smilingly complied His sword flew up—two flashes— Sleths ears lay on each side. But Allah saw, and pitied her in this her sore distress To Sleth he gave such fame as � ег grows cold For from a winged peri she received two ears of gold Which ears of gold were thrice as good, all Arabs do profess.

LAMENT OF A NIGHT WAITER AT CHILD'S By J. GORDON SIMMONDS From eleven on till midnight, Or, they know the star of the show real well, (The thought of it makes me cower), And even how much she’s paid. Comes the bane of the day’s occupation; That is know as the children’s hour. They call for Wheat Cakes and Coffee, It only costs “two bits” ; The place is crowded with youngsters But they try to imitate the air, Of high school age or about, Of a diner at the Ritz. And the pace we must act, to get them served, Simply wears us waiters out. Though I pity them in their efforts To appear so worldly wise, They come from a dance or show house, I despise them for where we're concerned, “Dragging” their “women” along; They're a horde of “Cheapskate Guys.” And the line they hand out one and all, m Is certainly hot and strong. Despite their polished line of talk, As their coffee they sit and sip; I learn that the Ritz is “ош” for good, They all to the same old crowd belong That the Toddle will never fade; THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT TIP! BASKETBALL After weeks of strenuous training, Doc Sargent has rounded out a formidable combination that will represent the Blue and Whites on the court this year. Coach Sargent is elated over the way the boys are working, and is positive of a very successful season. Asbury Park, runners-up in the finals at Princeton last year, eliminated Central, thus preventing the latter from playing Passaic for the State Championship. Asbury Park, with the same team that defeated Cen- tral last year, is the first game on this year's schedule. Coach Sargent is determined to have our boys wipe out last year's defeat. “Noody” Rasnick, the captain-elect for 1923, who was picked as the All-State High School Guard along with Fritz Knothe of Passaic, predicts that the team will carry through an undefeated season, and be pre- pared to fight for All-State honors. PROSPECTS The varsity squad will probably be as follows:— Sol Shapiro, a letter man of last year, is expected to star at forward. Manny Millman, a sub on the varsity team last year along with Flint Halperin and “Bear” Kregar, will complete the forward positions. Captain Rasnick, although a varsity guard for the last three seasons, will have to jump center, since he is the biggest man on the squad. Jimmy Gordon, a new-comer from the Vocational School, will hold down one of the positions. Either “Piggy” Simandle, or Cook is expected to fill the other guard position. Here's to a successful basketball season! CENTRAL ALL CITY CHAMPIONS CENTRAL LEADS AS USUAL The year of 1922 has been passed into the dis- card, and 1923 is here. But before going into the new year, let us review the recent activities of our school. Nineteen twenty-two has been very successful in all fields of competition. Central won the City High School title in every sport. The indoor track team started by winning the State championship at the St. Benedict's Meet, Asbury Park demolished the State aspirations of the basketball squad after they won sev- enteen successive games. e cinder steppers, al- though not supreme in the State, won the city title at 41 the Bloomfield Avenue track. In the meantime, the baseball team walked away with undisputed honors among the Newark High Schools. The football team closed the year with the premier honors tucked under its arm by playing a scoreless tie with South Side High after administering neat lacings to Barringer and East Side. The survey of prospects for 1923 reveals the fact that Central is well supplied with championship mate- rial. Here's best wishes from the graduating class. All set? Let's go. INDOOR OUTLOOK BRIGHT With a well-balanced team of veterans around which to build a new squad, the track team has an excellent opportunity to capture many trophies this season. Foremost among the seasoned boys is Barney Koplin. Barney is championship timber, and will be a hard boy to beat. Не is undoubtedly the fastest sprinter in the state today. Clarkson Holmes, the cross-country phenom, will compete in the quarter- mile run, while Bill Mulligan will cover the half mile. Bert Lambertson is back in togs, and will also cover the quarter. With conscientious training, this lad should be able to cop a state title. Mickey Harris, champion hurdler, Dick Wycoff, Gordan Simmonds, Vincent Young, and Caffrey will round out the group. Of the new candidates, Harry Petrinn, champion pub- lic school sprinter, Kantor, his team mate, Leon Klein, and Abe Cohen of the football squad, are the most promising. АВ: TRIM THE FACULTY Amid rousing cheers from the lusty throats of 500 spectators, crammed і� the gym to witness the game. the 4B's and the Faculty fives lined up for their novel classic. Ira Canowith, former Centralite and a stu- dent at the Newark Normal Sschool for Physical Training, introduced the players. With the toot of the whistle, the profs swung into action. Mr. Conovitz, caging a neat basket from the center of the court. On the foul, Coach Sargent made the score 3--0. The seniors drew blood when Nuddy Rasnick. all-state guard, netted a foul committed by Coach Schneider for clamping a strangle hold on Ben Yar- row. Millman followed with a shot making the score 3—3. The game continued with Ив early fierceness, and, despite their lack of practice, the in- structors led at the end of the half, 9—8. Oscar Lassar was rendered hors de combat just before the whistle blew, when Coach Schneider threw him for a loss (of an arm temporarily). The 4B’s took the floor in the second half with blood in their eyes. Т� е crowd threatened to raise the roof with their cheers. Between the lulls, a “go it faculty could be heard from some enthusiastic teacher. Coach Anderson raised the ante with a doubledecker which was retaliated by one from Nuddy. Another shot by Mr. Conowitz raised the score. Rasnick made good on two fouls. Mr. Anderson swished the cage for another two points. With five minutes to go, the 4B's were still in the rear, 14—16. But alas and alack! The bubble burst. No more did teachers taste of the nectar. A spirited rally by the boys left the instructors gaping in wonder. Yarrow shot a hair raiser from the center of the court, followed by another basket by Hammer. Rasnick caged another field goal and a foul. Ben sent another through the hoops. “МХиаду” made good on two from the 15-ft. mark. On a double foul, Nuddy demonstrated his versatility by sending two one-hand shots through the rims. On an infraction of the rules, another point was added to the total, end- ing the game 26—16. Mendell's band furnished music for the dancing. The line up— АВ� ҒАСОТҮ — CR, COON.’ Conowitz, F.

Central, however, emerged from the fray as City High School Champions for the third consecutive year. [he first quarter found the teams battling in mid- field, neither having a decided advantage. The-quar- ter ended with the ball in South 5іде 5 possession on Central's thirty-five yard line. South Side resorted to a kicking game in the second half, coupled with smashing line attacks. But when they threatened the Blue goal, our boys stiffened like a stone wall. Be- fore the quarter ended the Black and Gold line was in danger of being crossed. The second half began with a furious attack by Central. Micky Harris thrilled the thousands of spectators with his scintillating open field runs. Gieske bored through the Sunny Sider's line as though it were a row of weeds. Stern intercepted an attempted forward pass and checked the advance. Again in the last quarter, Central had an opportu- nity to score. With the ball on the forty-yard line, the backs began an irristible attack. Runs by Julian, Gieske, and Harris brought the ball to the one-yard line. Central was penalized five yards for offside. A poor pass caused Gieske to be thrown for three yards. RAG RAG POPULAR MUSIC A line buck failed. Gieske tried a placement kick from the fifteen yard line, but failed. South Side kicked out of danger, the game ending 3oon after. Gieske, Harris, Klein, and Koplin performed in a creditable fashion for Central. Stern, of South Side, was most instrumental in checking the Blue attack. Seidman, who entered the game in a bandaged con- dition, gave a wonderful exhibition of gameness.

WIENER TALKS ON PUNCTUALITY Mr. Wiener delivered an interesting talk on punctu- ality during the last assembly of 1922. After ex- plaining the value and benefits derived from being punctual, the principal gave an interesting example: A prominent New York surgeon was sent for io op- erate upon a well-to-do New Yorker. The outcome of the operation meant either the recovery or death of the patient. The associates, doctors, nurses and students, com- pleted the preparations for the operation, and awaited the doctor. The professor, on his arrival, instead of hurrying to the operating chamber, as his duty natu- rally was, commenced to read a newspaper article on a current topic. One of the associates, who knew the surgeon's method of making the operation, performed it himself. The doctor was still reading ihe newspa- per when the operation was completed. The out- come proved successful, and through the punctuality of the associate, the patient was saved. The master- surgeon realized his mistake, and later congratulated his associate on his punctuality. MR. WIENER TALKS AT COMMERCIAL TEACHERS’ MEETING “How does the high school student meet the de- mand for the business man, was the subject of Mr. Wiener's address to two hundred commercial teachers who attended the December meeting of the Pitman Commercial Teachers’ Association held at Hotel Astor of New York City, on December 16. Other speakers included Clarence Melaney, who spoke on the qualification of the teachers of commer- cial subjects: and Arthur Sugarman, of the Pitman Company, who talked on the scientific aspects of Isaac Pitman Shorthand. Mr. Telfer of our school is a member of the Association's advisory council. p CENTRAL LITERARY CLUB Every week a new program is given by the Central Literary Club. At the meeting held on December 22, the program was presented in the auditorium. Rebecca Marantz played several piano solos: Daisy Eskowitz gave several vocal selections; Freda Stern- berg recited, “Т� е Battle of the Kegs” and Young and Old.” A poem which produced much laughter was recited by Rose Davis. Another member, Mary Kaplan recited a poem. Herbert Diamond clearly delivered a piece called “І� 1492.” A few weeks ago, several members of the club visited Cedar Grove. A good time was enjoyed by all who went. AN INTERVIEW Of course you have heard of the Central Rifle Club, subsequently you have heard of its new organ- izer, Emanuel Margulies. Interviews with movie idols are quite common. This is an interview with one of our own boys—about one of our leading clubs. Mar- gulies may not be a movie idol, but he is just about as handsome as any. But handsome is as handsome does and Margulies has certainly done something for the school in instituting this club. The benefits are manifold. The boys learn to train their sense of sight, their self-confidence is increased, they develop poise and learn the value of discipline. Margulies informed me that the club intends to hold contests in shooting with Commercial High and Erasmus High of New York, Ridgewood High, and perhaps with New York Military Academy. Even a greater plan is afoot, that of a Junior Officers’ Camp right here at Central High School. And if possible a United States Army officer to be stationed here at school as instructor, with Margulies as assistant. Here's luck to the Central Rifle Club and its or- ganizer. 47 HISTORY CLUB HOLDS STRAW ELECTIONS Nineteen members of the Central History Club held a straw vote on the Monday before elections. Results of the vote showed that Edwards received nine votes for Senator; Freyinghuysen, seven votes, and the Socialist candidate, Bauer, received three votes. Runyon led the ballot for governor with seven votes, with a tie between the Democratic and Socialist candidates. Before the straw votes were taken Henry Harris spoke for the Democratic party; Harold Manshel, the Republican party; and Freda Sternberg, for the So- cialist party. CHESS AND CHECKER CLUB'S ELECTION Benjamin Braelow was elected president of the Central Chess and Checker Club, one of the school’s foremost clubs, at the election held in room 315 on January 3. Freda Sternberg was elected vice-presi- dent; Joseph Medresch, secretary; Max Heck, ireas- urer; and Alfred Holden, team manager. Membership in the club is open to any Centralite interested in chess and checkers. HARRIS LEADS HISTORY CLUB The officers elected at a recent meeting of ihe His- tory Club include Henry Harris, president; Dora Bruder, vice-president; Selma Mink, secretary, and Joseph Medresch, publicity manager. The program committee consists of Aaron Yaffe, Freda Sternberg, and Leonard Berman. Though recently organized, the Central History Club is fast becoming one of the leading and most interesting clubs in Central. When the club was first organized, last term, topics on famous Americans of the olden days were discussed, but now discussions of current events are held. The most important topics which the club has discussed since its organization in- clude topics on “Benjamin Franklin,” Alexander Hamilton, “Theodore Roosevelt,” “Т� е Turkish Question, and the “Government Ownership of Rail- roads. TECHNICAL CLUBS ELECTS At a recent meeting, Stephen Hoffman was elected president of the Central Technical Club. Frank Mes- sig was elected vice-president; William Tuthill, sec- retary; and Edward Caffrey, treasurer. Plans for a banquet to be held in the near future, were discussed at the club's meetings. SONG BY SMITH-HERZBERG In a recent publication two members of the Central faculty have collaborated, “Eventide: A Vesper Anthem for Four-Part Chorus of Mixed Voices, by Dr. R. A. Laslett Smith, Head of our Music De- partment, and Max J. Herzberg, head of our English Department. This song is published by the famous musical pub- lishing concern, G. Schirmer, Inc., New York, and appears in the series called С. Schirmer's Octavo Church Music. It is of further interest to Centralites to know that “Eventide” was originally part of a can- tata, “О Pioneers,” written by Dr. Smith and Mr. Herzberg for a Central Commencement. CHRISTMAS COLLECTION The Pivot wishes to extend its heartiest congratu- lations to the school for the spirit shown at the recent Christmas collection. Our generosity has helped to gladen the hearts of poor children in the city and has given them a de- lightful Christmas which will long remain і� their memory. Surely a little sacrifice is a pleasure when given for such worthy cause. Centralites might well be pleased with the showing made by our school. Special credit is due to Mr. Warrick's boys of 102, who contributed $15 to- wards the fund. THE GRADUATING CLASS The close of the February term marks an important event in the history of the school. Through gradua- . tion, Central is losing many of her foremost students, who have contributed greatly towards giving the school its high standing. Louis Goldman, class president, is editor-in-chief of the Pivot. This term marks his last. Herman Levenson, ex-president of the Central Service Club, and school politician, will also be missed the next term. Among others are, Elizabeth Jay and Florence Green, president and vice-president of the Girls’ Service Club, Irving Rosenberg, ex-vice- president of the Central Service Club and also class treasurer, Ida Margoles. prize winner of the Health Contest, and George Gilman, president of the Service Club. In the athletic field we will lose Bamey Kop- lin, Ross Allen, Caffrey, and last but not least Jeanette Satz. 48 4B CLASS A reorganization meeting of the 4B class was held on the fourteenth of December. Results were as follows: President, Nat Rasnick; Vice-President, Herman Shapiro; Secretary, Georgiana Gavalas; Treasurer, David Needell. A date of meeting has not as yet been decided upon; but, under the able guidance of Mr. Schleicher, the class expects to accomplish many things, and hold novel dances or other affairs. GOLDMAN LEADS 4А� On December 14, a reorganization meeting of the 4A class was held. Before holding elections, Mr. Conovitz, the faculty advisor, made a short address in which he emphasized the necessity of taxing the class for the purpose of defraying the expenses of graduation. Elections were then held with the following results: President, Louis Goldman; Vice-President, Jeannette Satz; Secretary, Dora Bruder; and Treasurer, Irving Rosenberg. With a class of leaders, such as this class com- prises, there is much to be expected, and we will un- doubtedly hear much about them before the term is over. Tel. Mul. 2739 SIDNEY T.

Kuven, former instructor in the mechanical drawing depart- ment. He was the member who left Central to seek his fortune among the oil fields in the West and al- most lost his life. During his stay in the western oil fields, Mr. Kuven happened to be near a 1,000,000 gallon oil tank which was struck by lightning. This occurred at the time when he was a junior engineer for an oil com- pany. He narrowly escaped death. Today Mr. Kuven is engaged in an attempt to conserve heat. His enginering mind has taken up the problem of saving coal and getting more heat. He is ready to volunteer any information to all per- sons interested in reducing their coal bills. Especially is he willing to advise our members of the faculty who are building homes or who are planning to build them in the future, on how to save money by burning Compliments Mr. Warrick’s Н. К.

Warrick less coal and getting more heat. Mr. Kuven is at present connected with the Kim Coal Saver Corpora- tion. THE HIGHWAYMAN He is not a masked, dashing, handsome, super-intelligent dramatic figure out of a story or the newspaper headlines, who holds you up with a gun and with a clear, commanding voice demands money or your life. He is with you constantly—whether you know he is or not. Everyone is complaining of this thief, who on a cold day or night makes the whole household—plant—or even in- dustries shake with fright and cold, and causes the heads of every institution to go around with worry and anxiety when his presence is perceived. Even the President of this efficient government is at a loss what to do because of his presence. His name is COAL. Of course, you cannot avoid paying him his demands—BUT—you can CUT his bill 15 to 25 per cent. by buying and having installed а KimKoal Coal Saver. THEN you will not hear his money or your life. Instead of the difficulties caused by poor grades of coal and so-called substitutes—clinkers and cinders—uneven heat—odor of coal gases—and the constant nursing of the heating plant—you will have comfort and ease of body and mind. 4 So confident are we of the KimKoal Coal Saver because of its action upon test and under actual operation that we offer to refund the purchase price of the device if what we state is proven to be untrue at the end of 30 days’ trial. KimKoal Saver costs approximately the price of a ton of coal. INFORMATION AND PRICES FURNISHED GRATIS BY KIM COAL SAVER CORP. 207 MARKET STREET Tel. Market 9429 NEWARK, N. J.
