THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has as its executive group the Student Union officers. The presi- dent, Alexander Canja, was the presiding offi- cer at all Council meetings. Alex has been ac- tive in many school affairs. In 1937-38 he had the lead in the play, “The Passing of the Third Floor Back” by Jerome K. Jerome, as well as a part in the Junior play. A member of the newly formed swimming team, he was the only representative from Central to go through to the finals in the swimming tournament. He maintained a high scholastic average and ranked high in popularity in the school. He won the Arrow Head award as “Chief of the Indian Braves”, having been selected by the student body as the most representative boy. Mary Ellen Ward, vice-president of the Student Union, and outstanding in school ac- tivities, was the Union Recording Secretary in 1937-38. She played a supporting role in the 1939 Junior play, “The Little Clown”. She has an A-B scholastic average, and has earned a letter in athletics. Mary Ellen was named “The Indian Princess” in the Arrow Head selection of the most representative girl student. Virginia Macy, an energetic sophomore, was the recording secretary of the Student Union. Ethel Collins, the corresponding secretary of the Student Union, was also active as a sopho- more. She participated in athletics, and was interested in Journalism. Both secretaries rated high in scholastic standing. The Council is divided into different com- missions, each headed by a chairman, and ren- dering individual services. Student Union bus- iness is most efficiently carried out in this man- ner. The Social Commission was headed by Carl Britten, senior president. This Commis- sion is kept busy by the noon hour dances, parties, and other social affairs. The Activities Commission, of which Mary Ruth Stewart was chairman, sees that all athletics are function- ing properly and that all clubs are properly chartered. Anne Doyle, active in journalism, was the chairman of the Financial Commis- sion which undertakes the task of budgeting the funds of the Union. The General Welfare Commission fulfills just such services as its name implies. Don Streat, junior president, was chairman of this group. Miss Grace Pinel, who is Dean of Girls, was the faculty adviser for the Student Council. The Student Counci} is the governing body of the Student Union, and as such, unifies the various activities, enforces the principles of the constitution, and is the closest tie to the wishes and the activities of the student body. The Student Council was first organized in 1920 for the purpose of providing an effective means of communication between the under- Page Fourteen PROSPECTUS graduate body and faculty, of bettering condi- tions in and about the school building, and of promoting school spirit. This is still the main purpose of the Student Council. The council has the power to make rules and regulations affecting student customs, elections, celebrations, special games, and contests, and the general behavior of the stud- ent body. Time has changed the original Student Council. In its early years it was known both as the Student Council and the House of Repre- sentatives. Each home room elected a repre- sentative to the Council; within this organiza- tion of the council, was the cabinet consisting of seven persons, two from each class. The Student Council President was the seventh person. In 1924, the Student Council adopted a new constitution as a result of the formation of the Student Union. In 1936, two amendments were passed and added to the constitution changing the election of the representatives. In order to have a more efficient and active group, it was found advis- able to decrease the size of the council to a more wieldy group and still leave the council as representative as before. The Student Council is now composed of representatives elected to office by the mem- bers of the Student Union. Twelve represent- atives are elected from each class; three from the College Preparatory Curriculum, three from the Commercial Curriculum, two from the General Curriculum, and one each from the Music, Industrial Arts, and Home Econom- ics Curriculums. These representatives are elected at the same time as the Student Union and class officers. The seniors were represented in the Student Council by Pauline DeMott, Phillis Helcher, Anne Doyle, Jean Baker, Mildred Johnson, Shirley Partridge, Max Hoffmeyer, and Carl Britten. Representing the juniors were Marcella Barbis, Lucille Cheney, Isadore Bennet, Har- riet Jennings, Mary Ruth Stewart, Marja Briggs, and Donald Streat. Charles Corrigan, Maxine Somers, Eloise Dunbar, Catherine Cheney, Phoebe Dinsmore, Maxine Gore, and R. C. Gillett represented the sophomores. Leland Furst represented the Technical Curriculum. The Student Council worked out and oper- ated a system of corridor control during the noon hours. During the fourth and fifth hours, students wearing armbands designating them as members of the hall service were on duty in the corridors to direct traffic and supervise discipline. Those who worked on the plan were Alex- ander Canja, Donald Streat, Carl Britten, Mary Ruth Stewart, and Anne Doyle. Assist- ing them were R. C. Gillett, Russell Witte, Ethel Collins, Katherine MacDonald, Mary Ruth Stingel, Betty Shayman, Virginia Macy, Louis Patterson, Richard O’Hara, and Janice Williams. The Faculty advisors were Miss Grace Pinel, Howard Jackson, Lowell Grant, and Stanley O. Broome Since its organization as the governing body of Central High School, the Student Council has been a common ground whereon the fac- ulty and student body may meet and discuss mutual problems.

Class of 1939 Headed by the Senior officers, Carl Britten, president; Bill Siegel, vice president; Peg Sav- age, secretary ; and Bob Bellairs, treasurer, the Senior board of directors again took charge of giving the class of 1939 the fullest and most eventful last year at school. The Senior board, like the boards represent- ing the other two classes, is composed of the class officers and one member elected from each Senior group. Under the sponsorship of Miss Mabel Pinel and Miss Elsa Dietrich, the board has as its duties the planning of all the Senior activities and the governing of the class. One of its most noteworthy accomplishments is the planning and execution of the Senior- Junior party held early in the Spring. Again, because of the shortened school year, activity concerning the Senior dinner-dance started early in the second semester. Miss Grace Pinel went into conference with the board concerning the plans for this event of graduation week. After due deliberation, Carl Britten, the president of the Senior class, ap- pointed the following committees to carry out the plans: decorations, Peg Savage, Doris Gir- od, and Jim Marty; orchestra, Bob Bellairs, Walt Hollowell, and Carl Britten; invitations, Marion Townsend and Dorothy McNeal; tic- kets, Earl Shobe; programs, Viola Trop, Bill Siegel and Dick James; dinner, Virginia Poole and Alexander Canja; arrangements, Jim Marty. The dinner-dance was held May 26. JUNIOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS—Row I, left to right:Pat Foran.

GLASS OF 1940 In the election whirl which began the school year in September, three officers who had served their class as sophomores won positions as junior class leaders. They were: Donald Streat, president; Barbara Gault, vice-presi- dent; Harriet Sue Montague, secretary; and Beth Johnson, treasurer. On Friday, January 13, the juniors and sen- iors held their annual party in the girls’ gym- nasium. A clever, decorative scheme of black cats was used. In late December, the junior play cast began rehearsals under the direction of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown. The play, “The Little Clown”, was very successfully presented on February 16 and 18. The Junior Board of Directors, under the guidance of the junior class sponsors, Miss Ruth Parmelee and Miss Helen Mutton, sup- ported the juniors in all the school activities throughout the year. Members of the 1938-39 Junior Board of Directors included: Joan Atkinson, Morris Bikoff, James Youngblood, Jean Garner, Bob Crafton, Betty Cannell, Robert Baird, Bob Corsons, James Botsford, Kathleen Duncan, Patricia Foran, Jean Mac Main, Bill Edgerly, Lois Osborn, Mary Rose McElroy, Cynthia Earl, Mary Massar, Charles Miller, Fay Peek, Dorothy Welber, Louise Me Carius, Evelyn Smith, Bob Napper, Joe Nich- ols, Leo Reno, Donna Rolland and Theda Wilkins.

One of the most important actions of the Board in 1938-39 was the planning and exe- cution of two parties, one each semester. At the first of these in November, the sophomore class, with their guests, the Student Union members, “swung out” to Max Jones and his orchestra. The second was with Don LePard and his Troubadours in March when the theme of March winds was carried out. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS—Beth Young. Mary Alice Curry, Margery Moore.

E. Wellwood, Sponsor, Jack McGrath, Alexander Canja; Roto 2, left to right: Leon McNeio, Edson Kitchen, Jack Col- lins, Bud Qillett. THE SKIPPERS’ CLUB, sponsored by Mr. John E. Wellwood, principal, is an honorary organization composed of boys who have the three highest offices in the Student Union, in the three classes, and in the two publications. Membership continues while the boys are in school. The purpose of the Skip- pers is to create and maintain desirable tra- ditions throughout the school. One of the two formal meetings was held in March. At this meeting, the boys were hosts to a banquet for Mr. Wellwood. All new mem- bers were taken in at this banquet. Later in the year, a dinner was given for the boys by Mr. Wellwood. The 1938-39 membership included: Bud Gillett, Donald Streat, Carl Britten, Alex Canja, Leon McNew, Woodrow Smithson, Jack Collins, Edson Kitchen, Jack McGrath, Richard DeSonia. THE COMMANDERINS were insti- tuted eight years ago and are now one of the highest ranking organizations in Central. The eighteen members are chosen from those girls who hold the highest offices in school. These include class and Student Union offices, the girls holding the highest positions on the Pros- pectus and Arrow Head staffs and the presi- dents of the three all-girl clubs. The club, which is sponsored by Miss Grace Pinel, holds no regular meetings, but meetings are called when a problem needs the attention of these officers. Club members in 1938-39 were: Mary Ellen Ward, Virginia Macy, Margaret Savage, Bar- bara Gault, Harriet Montague, Beth Johnson, Marjorie Moore, Beth Young, Mary Alice Currie, Dorothy Coble, Anne Doyle, Phyllis Iielcher, Dorothy Zandi, Margaret Resler, Alice Atkins, Margaret Carrier, June Stephens and Joan Crane.

THE CENTRAL HI-Y, sponsored by Mr. Ralph Misner, had an active membership of twenty-five. Each member was responsible for directing one meeting according to his judgment of the purpose of the Hi-Y, which is to “Create, Maintain, and Extend through- out the School and Community high standards of Christian Character.” Officers were: Leon DeCaire, president; Morrie Bikoff, vice-presi- dent; Ronald Russel, secretary; Dan Hag- gerty, treasurer; Bernard Caine and Donald Shaw, Y. M. C. A. representatives. Maintaining a high record of school service, members took charge of the noon hour game rooms throughout the winter. During the foot- ball season the Hi-Y sold souvenir pins and decorated the goal posts at the home football games. Hi-Y boys ushered at the Kaleidoscope, Senior and Junior plays, and at meetings of the Flint Teachers’ club. THE “F” CLUB was composed of the forty-three girls all of whom had earned at least one letter for sports. Points are earned for these letters by the girls who participated in intra-mural sports, or by being squad lead- er, class captain, or class secretary in the gym class. Letters are awarded at two banquets, the hockey banquet in the fall, and the basket- ball banquet in the spring. The club was sponsored by Miss Mildred Bunce, and this year, the officers were: presi- dent, Phyllis Helcher; vice-president, Betty Booth ; and secretary-treasurer, Rachel Crick. The club holds business meetings every other week, while social meetings are held once a month. The “F” Club managed the sale of candy at all home games. To this group must go much of the credit for the fine showing made by the girls’ athletic teams. “F” CLUB—Row 1, left to right: Edith Burleson, Virginia Hosner, Anthos Farah, Betty Cartwright, Ruby Morri- son, Vivian Morrison, Carol Lundberg, Dorothy Zandi, Marian Auger, Phyllis Helcher: Row 2. left to right: Pat Foran, Vlasta Tabor, Rachel Crick, Mildred Johnson, Louise Clary, Zoe Bozion, Mary Etta Fanning, Rhea Mac Intyre, Virginia Wilcox: Row 3, left to right: Jeanne High, Eleanor Garth- waite, Helen Armstrong, Virginia Mun- dy, Jessie Meade, Clara McDowell, Bettie Booth, Helen Bohling, Anne Burr, Doris Morning star; Row J. left to right: Nina Squire, Mary Heming- way, Peg Savage, Donna Martin, Vir- ginia Grice, Betty Bush, Dorothy Mor- rish, Mary Ellen Ward, Ruby Turner, Jean Macdonald, Doris Barr. 1939 Page Twenty-One ARROW HEAD STAFF—Row 1, left to right: Alice Atkins.

THE ARROW HEAD, Central’s bi- monthly publication, capably edited by Jack McGrath and Anne Doyle, with the aid of Alice Atkins, news editor; Margaret Brown, feature editor; Jack Benedict, boys’ sports editor; and Jeanne High handling girls’ sports helped to keep the students abreast of the school news and activities. The matter of business was handled by its manager, June Stephens, who was assisted by Bob Bowerman, Jack Dill, Keith Rosebush, Betty Doyle, Kenneth Rosebush, Pauline Ely, and Roland Miller. In 1938-39 for the first time, an opportunity was given to the juniors and sophomores to publish two issues of the paper without the aid of the seniors. Dave Gault edited the first of these issues and Barbara Jean White edited the second. Another issue was published by the seniors on the staff with Jack Benedict as editor. The large reporting staff of the publication included: Dorothy Drake, Beth Young, Vir- ginia Gillett, Dan LaFave, Ruth Lietz, Leonard Buckler, Bud Gillett, Shirley Dean, Dorothy LaFave, Georgianna Dyer, Ethel Collins, Ralph Moore, Janice Williams, Sylvia Gan- tos, Russ Witten, Kathryn Carr, Dorothy Men- gen and Elizabeth Schiavone. During the second semester the Arrow Head sponsored an election to determine that most representative girl and boy of the student body to be crowned the Indian Princess and Chief of the Indian Braves. Mary Ellen Ward and Alexander Canja won these awards. ARROW HEAD Staff at icork, Barbara Jean White, Kenneth Rosebush, June Stephens, Georgianna Dyer, Anne Doyle, Ethel Mae Collins. Alice Atkins.

THE 1939 PROSPECTUS was pub- lished by a staff of forty-two members headed by Richard DeSonia, editor-in-chief; Marion Garvey, associate editor; and Dorothy Coble, managing editor. The book itself best represents the work ac- complished by this group. To say more would be difficult. Jeanne Dowding, Virginia Bachmann, and Ethel Collins were in charge of the section de- voted to classes. Shirley Dean as club editor, aided by Shirley Dalby, Veva Coolman, and Elizabeth Schiavone, worked diligently to give accurate reports of club activities. Boys’ sports were handled by Dan La Fave, Walter Beach, Jack Benedict, and Wil- liam Carson, while the girls’ sports were cov- ered by Jeanne High and June Wagner. Alice Atkins, Betty Shayman, Ruth Lietz, and Lucille Weisse devoted their talents to the education section. Drama and fine aids were handled by Janice Williams, Donald Sammon, Margaret Brown, Kathryn Carr, and June Stephens. The pictures, as is other years, presented the most difficult problem; however, Roy Eddy, Bruce Turcotte, and Bob Coffeen aided in solving this problem satisfactorily. Barbara Jean White furnished the ideas for Mrs. Blocher’s art classes to carry out the theme of the book in drawings. Other students who aided materially in com- pleting the book were: Helen Gilbertson, Marian Popp, Yvonne Simonson, Anne Doyle, and Dorothy Beerman.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS, more com- monly known as the Fi-ench Club, is an or- ganization of students wishing to further their knowledge of the French language and people. Students wishing to qualify for mem- bership in this club must have a “C” average in French. During the Christmas holidays, the club cai-ed for a needy family and had a Christmas party. A weiner roast in the fall and a tobog- gan party in the winter were enjoyed by the members. An evening spent seeing motion pictures on France proved a satisfactory even- ing to the club. The club’s officers were: Robert Calhoun, president; Kathryn Carr, vice-president; Pat- ricia Dowding, secretary; and Jeanne Dowd- ing, treasurer. Miss Mabel Pinel was the French Club sponsor. THE SPANISH CLUB, sponsored by Miss Nellie Stobie, consists of those students wishing to pursue in detail the study of Spain and Mexico. Dui'ing regular club meetings, individual reports are given, and gi'oup discussions held on vai'ious phases of Spanish and Mexican life. One of the more outstanding reports greatly enjoyed by the members was given by Miss Stobie, who has visited Spain and Mexico. Dur- ing her visits she has collected many interest- ing curios. With these she vividly described the two countries. Included in the club activities were a typical Spanish Christmas party, a wiener roast last fall, and a picnic in the spring. The officers were: Alice Atkins, president; Peter Ban'era, vice-president; and Violet Nowak, secretary-ti’easurer.

THE PRESS CLUB „ hom)rary c,ub for students active on either the Arrow Head or the Prospectus staffs. Two initiations, both formal and informal, were given this year, one in the fall for the new members of the Arrow Head staff, the other in February for the new members of the Prospectus Staff. A weiner roast was held for members in September, while a Publications Banquet, sponsored by this club, was held late in April, when journalism letters were awarded. Also for the first time, the Screech was in charge of the Press Club. The faculty sponsor of this club was Mr. George A. Stracke, and the officers were: president, Alice Atkins; vice president, Janice Williams; secretary-treasurer, Jeanne High. Delegates from the club attended the Sagi- naw Valley and M. I. P. A. meetings. THE LEWIS LATIN CLUB, sponsored in 1938-39 by Miss Henrietta Lewis is an organization of boys and girls who wish to know more about the Latin language and to study Rome and the Roman people.

THE LEADERS’ CLUB is composed of the boys who are squad leaders in the gym classes. These leaders meet each Tuesday night to discuss methods of improving their leadership, to enjoy a recreational program consisting of basketball and volley ball, and to talk over their problems in leadership. Mr. Jerome Udell was the sponsor of this club. Mr. Napoleon LaVoie organized this club several years ago as a group to represent boys in all the gym classes. The club has staged many athletic demonstrations during its exist- ence and has been responsible for many ath- letic activities which are not taken care of, or included, in varsity sports. One of the major events sponsored by this group is the annual “Dad’s Night” get to- gether. At this party boys are permitted to bring their fathers in order that they may get a first hand picture of the gymnasium activ- ities. THE BOOSTERS’ CLUB, sponsored by Mr. Stanley O. Broome and Mr. Kenneth Wright, has as its aim the promotion of sports- manship throughout Central. The Boosters’ Club charters the busses that carry many Central students to the out-of- town games. The officers are: Kenneth King, president; Lowell Beach, vice-president; and Isadore Bennett, secretary-treasurer. The club is in- formal, and no attendance is taken. Any stud- ent of Central may attend the meetings if he desires. Many speakers were presented during the year, including: Mr. Jerry Udell, Mr. Jim- my Richards, Mr. Dick Evans, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Napoleon LaVoie. Other speakers were: Mr. Celestine Van Dalen, Carl Britten, Alex- ander Canja, and Hubert Sweet, the former president. New in 1937-38, this group has already demonstrated its value in our school life. Page Twenty-Eight PROSPECTUS BOOKKR T. WASHINGTON CLUB — How 1. left to right: Edward Bussell, Mel Metcalfe, John Thompson, Ed Tal- bert, Wesley Jones; Boxc '2, left to right: Roosevelt Smith, Floyd Bates, John Johnson,Angelo Cannon,Booker Smith. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Club has as its members Negro boys of Central High, with most of its activities under the sponsorship of Mr. Eddie Simmons, of the Clifford Center. This organization was created to carry on the ideals of that famous American, Booker T. Washington. That the business of the club may be carried on efficiently, two officers are elected, a presi- dent and a secretary. In 1938-39 Roosevelt Smith was elected to the office of president, while Isaac MacDonald served as secretary. Most of the activities of the Booker T. Washington Club are in the field of sports. Basketball was played in Central by the club, but most of the other sports were enjoyed at the Center. Boxing was one of the main activ- ities. A Ping Pong tournament was also held. THE CHEERLEADERS, under the sponsorship of Can-oil Clark, led the organ- ized cheering in a successful year. Their active vocalizing was thoroughly followed through- out the year during football and basketball games. They also participated in school pep meetings in the auditorium. Practice sessions were held every school night during the fall and three nights a week during the winter. These practices were held both on the fourth floor and on the football field. Letters were presented to the following boys: Jack Dill, Watson Pierce, Kenneth Moore, Donald Austin, Bruce Pollock, Keith Gillespie, Lewis Wilson, Edward Kaake, and Elson Straley, a February graduate. To win these letters, the boys had to com- plete the season, and to be willing to help cheer-lead for any extra events that arose.

The club is for girls who have high schol- arship in English. Two original works are re- quired a semester, which are to be either poems, prose, or book reports. The club this year was sponsored by Miss Ruth Atkin. The year’s activity was the study of American literature from the seventeenth century to the present day. Reports by mem- bers were given on motion pictures, poetry, drama, and prose written about the various periods. May 2 was the annual “Open Door” when original work was read and a pageant was presented on the subject of the twenty years of the club’s existence. The officers were president, Adele Sohn; vice president, Myrtle Thompson; secretary, Jane St. Clair; treasurer, Bernadine Amboy, and corresponding secretary, Shirley Dalby. THE PEN PUSHERS’ CLUB, newly organized in 1938-39, consists of stud- ents who like to write poems, stories, and essays. At several informal meetings members presented original work to the club. Among the most outstanding contributions were: “Smoke”, a poem by Warren Coles; “A Dis- covery”, a story by Ruth Stewart; and “Jit- terbugs”, a clever little rhyme by Doris Tor- rey. These and several other original poems, stories, and essays, were to be put in book form. When completed, this book is to be pre- sented to the school. The group staged several parties through- out the year. The officers were: Warren Coles, president; Dorothy Rice, vice-president; Martha Gaul- den, secretary; and treasurer, Mary Ruth Stewart, with Miss Marian Daily as sponsor.

THE PRE-MEDICS CLUB, sponsored by Mr. Kenneth Wright, is com- posed of students interested in pursuing the study of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing. Guest speakers during the year included: Dr. O’Neil, Dr. Bogart, Dr. Lambert, and Dr. Roberts. All gave very enlightening talks on various phases of medicine. To gain knowledge of the actual practice of medicine and nursing, the club visited Hur- ley Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital. A trip through the McDonald Dairy was also includ- ed in the club’s activities during the year. Other projects were: a trip to the Medical School at Ann Arbor, a visit to the Lapeer Home, and an initiation party for new pledges. The officers of the club were: Earl Miller, president; Janice Plumb, vice president; Vlasta Tabor, secretary; Eleanor Heystek, treasurer; Lois Fox, recreational director. THE KHEM CLUB was organized for those who are unusually interested in chem- istry. The aim of this club is the advancement of chemical knowledge. This club is an hon- orary organization and each prospective mem- ber must be approved by the sponsor, Mr. Chester Henry, and the club as a whole. He may be approved only if he maintains a B average in all subjects. They fulfilled this aim through demonstra- tions given at each meeting. Each member had a definite project to study during the year. These included such things as alcohol, lip stick, oil of wintergreen, cold light, face cream and hand lotion, titration of soap and Dreft, etchings, and tooth paste and powder. Several trips were taken in the spring, among them being a trip to the Sewage Disposal Plant and to the McDonald Daily. Jack Collins was elected president, the only officer which the club has.

Among the duties this club performed this year were: ushering at the Chamber of Com- merce’s Children’s Party; taking part in the Go-to-Church Night; and giving a Christmas basket to the Woman’s Hospital. The club, which was under the sponsorship of Miss Ann Goss, sent Carolyn Kraycar and Dorothy Coble as delegates to the Mid-Winter Conference at Bay City. Miss Anderson, of the Flint Guidance Cen- ter, Miss Huff, the Girl Reserve secretary from the Young Women’s Christian Association, and Mrs. Bryant gave interesting lectures. The club has an active membership of six- teen, and the officers were: president, Dorothy Coble; vice president, Fay Glasco; treasurer, Betty Ann Phillips; and program chairman, Carolyn Kraycar. THE GIRL SCOUTS of Central had as their officers: Harriet Roberson, president; Virginia Lockhart, vice president; June Wen- ger, secretary-treasurer; and Katharine Me Caughna, reporter. The club has had many activities during the year, including teas, parties, and handi- craft exhibits.

THE YEOMEN was chosen as the new name of the former Arrowhead Archers. Ori- ginally only a girls’ club, it was opened to both boys and girls this year. This club has for its purpose helping its members to become more efficient in the art of archery. Two parties were held, one at Christmas and another at Hallowe’en. Wiener roasts were also held in addition to archery prac- tice. During the winter meetings, members worked on equipment, and some of them gave speeches on archery equipment. They also pre- pared exhibits in the showcase to show the work of the club in making bows, strings, and quivers. The officers were: President, Bill Gregory; vice-president of equipment, Bob Crickmore; vice-president of committees, Dan LaFave; secretary, Sylvia Gantos; treasurer, Mary Etta Fanning. THE EQUESTRIENNES with Miss Mildred Hodges as sponsor, began the year with the election of officers. Polly Stone was chosen president and Libby Green, secretary. The Equestriennes rode every week through- out the year when weather permitted, in two groups, advanced and beginners, so that each girl had an opportunity to ride. This carried out the original purpose of the club that mem- bers enjoy the sport by learning to ride well. In addition to riding, the club held two steak roasts during the fall. The Spring season was spent in activities similar to the fall program. Supplementing these, the highlight of the Spring program was the riding which took place at King’s ranch on two Saturdays. These were especially enjoyed by all members. This year’s membership numbered twenty- four. Members are considered those who ac- tually ride during a semester.

THE CENTRAL STAMP CLUB was organized in March, 1937, by students interested in stamps and stamp collecting. Members of this club learn how to care for stamps, how to sort and mount them, and the peculiarities that add to the value of certain issues. At the meetings, stamps are traded or sold at auction. Contests and games are played and the winners are awarded new or unusual stamps. At the end of the semester, a dinner was given as the climax to a contest carried on through the semester. At another time, a wiener roast was enjoyed. The membership of this club was small, only seven being on the roll. The sponsor was Miss Edna R. Stewart, and the officers were: presi- dent, Richard Pierson; vice-president, Vern Persinger; and secretary-treasurer, Gordon Walker. THE GREASE PAINT CLUB provides members with actual experience in the application of grease paint. The members practice applying theatrical make up on one another until they become quite adept in this art. The club was sponsored by Mr. Thomas Davey and the officers were: president, Roy Eddy; vice president, Leon McNew; and sec- retary-treasurer, Sydney Hays. The Grease Paint Club handled the make- up for the Kaleidoscope, the Opera, and the Junior play and the Senior play. The members also assisted in applying make-up for the Civic Opera. The club also had an act in the Kal- eidoscope showing the principles of applying theatrical make-up. The club was first organized in 1938-39, but it made itself very useful in the school by its various activities. GREASE PAINT CLUB—Row 1, left to right: llah Smith. Clara Mae Caldwell.

Football The Indian tribesmen showed the aggressive and fighting spirit for which they have become noted throughout the whole of the 1938 grid- iron season. With a commendable record of five wins, three losses, and a tie, the fine coaching of Nap LaVoie and his assistants became even more evident at the end of the season. LaVoie has been head coach since Dan Fisher handed in his resignation four years ago at the end of the ’34 season. During Nap’s four years as the Indian Mentor he has led the tribe to twenty-eight wins, twelve losses, and one tie, which to anyone is a very enviable record. During the whole of Napo- leon’s career as coach his main ambition has been to concentrate his attention on the Cen- tral High’s Intra-Mural Sports program of which he is justly proud. He wanted to forget coaching, for the strain of a season of football is terrific, mentally and physically, on a per- son who isn’t of coaching temperament. S'o, with permission of the school authorities his dream came true, and LaVoie resigned as foot- ball coach at the close of the season, retaining his post as Athletic Director. Amid many sad farewells and volumes of praise for his fine job of leading the Indians through a grand schedule, Nap presided over his final football banquet as coach, and issued letters to twenty-three players. Letter winners were: Larry Annis,Floyd Bates,Lowell Beach, Beryl Caslman, Tom Dickie, Duane Faulman, George Gutteridge, Harrison Hall, Bob Har- vey, Cassius Johnson, John Johnson, Harold Kaczynski, Ed Leach, Philip Maschino, Bud Meade, Leroy Melzow, Auldin Nelson, Francis Nitzschke, Charles Porritt, Joe Suhayda, Rod- ney Swanson, William Vaughn, and Leonard Wright. At the close of the season Beach and Maschino were elected honorary captains for 1938. Not to be forgotten are the assistant coaches who worked and cooperated in such a fine manner that they were of material assistance in the development of a good team. Celestine Van Dalen worked at the task of producing the powerful forward wall and Jerry Udell handled the job of coaching his backfield charges to perfection. Stan Broome, the Tribe’s trainer and one of the most liked fellows on Central’s faculty, bandaged sprained knees and ankles, massaged stiff muscles, and in all, kept a fine team in tip-top physical condition. The game of games which is played on Thanksgiving Day was by points a loss for Flint Central and a win for Flint Northern with the score standing at 27-0 in Northern’s favor. Yet if spirit could count as points, the Page Thirty-Eight PROSPECTUS Bits of action from the Northern-Central tilts at the I. M. A. their second foe. However, the squad from the Capitol city proved to be a little too tough, and Central was handed its fourth defeat of the season. At the close of the season, a successful one from the standpoint of our team, Coach Evans had reason to be proud of his work. He had come in and built up a team that played ac- curately and skillfully to “pile up” an envi- able record of fourteen victories to four de- feats. Toledo Waite 22—Central 48 A hard, fast-moving Central aggregation ti-amped over the Toledo Waite five to win a tremendous victory, the first for the Indians. Owosso 22—Central 35 The Tribesmen proved just a little too tough for the Trojans as they downed them 35-22. Arthur Hill 22—Central 26 The fine playing of Maschino proved again a victory for the Tribe. The whole team seem- ed to revolve around this fast-moving player. Northern 17—Central 19 The first meeting with our friends from the North spelled their defeat and the fourth straight victory for Centralites. Pontiac 26—Central 31 The Chiefs and the Tribe met for their en- counter with “war-paint” on, but the Tribe were too much for the Chiefs. Bay City 18—Central 35 In the encounter at Bay City the Tribe chalked up the sixth straight victory and established a march of triumph. Saginaw 26---Central 17 What proved to be the first defeat for the Indians was the game with Saginaw. Arthur Hill 26—Central 44 The second tilt with the Hillites was another victory for the Tribe. The Tribe stamped on the Arthur Hill boys to the tune of 44-26. Pontiac 19—Central 20 In their second encounter the Indians and the Chiefs met for a close fought battle. In the last half the Tribe was able to score the points that were necessary to win. Bay City 28—Central 40 Bay City again fell in the wake of the rush- ing Tribe as they were downed to the tune of 40-28. Owosso 21—Central 22 In another close fought victory the Tribe downed the Trojans, here again the work of Maschino was felt. Northern 38—Central 30 Here the loss of Maschino and Bates was felt as the Tribe fell under the attack of the Vikings. The Indians having won the first en- counter early in the year, a rubber game was necessary. Northern 32—Central 21 The third battle with the Vikings lost the City Championship for the Tribe, despite the attempts of Harvey and Bikoff. Kelley starred for the Northenders. 1939 Page Forty-One THE 1989 HA SE HA EL TEAM Baseball With a turnout that exceeded to set an all- time record in baseball candidates, Stan Broome, Coach, began the task of moulding a squad though adverse weather conditions con- tinually delayed outdoor practice sessions. Of the twelve returning regulars three were pitchers, Myron Oviatt, Bill Smith and Miles Hudson. Veterans among the backstop force were Bob Harvey, Don Cramer, and Wallace Smith. Returning to take up the infield duties were Bill Collins, Duane Faulman, Walt My- ers, Don Sexton and Willard Smith. Bob Hun- kins was the only returning outfielder. Showing a decided contrast to the nine that was swept to defeat in the ’38 Saginaw Valley opener with Arthur Hill, 21-17, the Redskins in their ’39 debut snowed under the Pontiac Chiefs 6-2 using two hurlers. The shortened school term forced the Tribe to play from two to three games a week, in- cluding Saturdays, in order to complete their card before June 2. 1938 Review Tough breaks followed Central’s baseball nine throughout their ’38 season with the re- sult that they won but one game in seven starts. Most of the trouble was experienced by the pitchers. At the outset of the season Stan had three first string hurlers in Myron Oviatt, Bill Smith, and Larry Annis. But each time a win seemed certain the breaks went the wrong way and the Tribe ball players would be beaten in the waning innigs. The Indians lost the 1938 Saginaw Valley opener to Arthur Hill 21-17 in a free hitting affair in which each made sixteen hits. Though they lost their second encounter, 5-3, the Indians were quite a contrast to the club that faced Arthur Hill, as they made only one error while the Pontiac nine went through the tilt without a misplay. After jumping into a one-run lead in the fourth inning the Tribe was handed a 6-4 de- feat at the hands of the Bay City Wolves when Bill Mueller, relief pitcher for Bay City, step- ped into one of Bill Smith’s offerings and reeled off three bases with two men on base. Central won their first and only league vic- tory of the season when they handed Owosso a 5-4 defeat at the Dort Field diamond. The Tribe lost their fourth contest at the hands of Saginaw Eastern, 3-2, when Howard Evon of Saginaw doubled with the bases loaded. Meeting Northern in the tenth annual re- newal of the battle for laurels in baseball be- tween the two rival Class A schools in Flint the Tribe fell easy prey to the Viking batsmen 7-2. The Vikings made the all-time record five games apiece with the aid of Bib Billings who allowed the Braves but a single hit as they registered their 9-0 shutout victory in the sec- ond game for the 1938 city title.

Track Under the capable direction of Mr. Francis Smith, head coach, assisted by Mr. John Sea- ton and Mr. John Milholland, the team had another successful year. For 1939 season, the squad scheduled ten major meets and a secon- dary meet for the reserves. The first meet of the season, a triangular meet scheduled to be held with Flint Northern and Pontiac at Dort Field was a forfeit victory for the Tribe as neither of the other teams made an appearance. Invading the Viking stronghold on April 28, the Indians captured the city title for the eighth successive season, with a score 79-24. Although Central had an excellent team this season, the loss of Floyd Bates who made such a fine showing in 1938 in both the dash and high jump, was felt. In 1938, Bates broke the state high jump record, and missed the national high school record by a fraction of an inch. Floyd was ineligible this year because of his age. In 1939 Walt Moore, Bill Van Zandt, and Vern Krebsbach were sure point winners in the mile run, while others who made good showings in this event were Frank Pritchard and Warren Heddy. In the half mile four not- ables were Norm Dunnigan, Leonard Wright, Earl Shobe, and Frank Owen. The quarter mile brought to light the ability of Clinton Bostwick and Dick Youngs. Willie Vaughn, Herbert Tasker, and John Thompson earned points in the 100 yard dash. The 120 yard high hurdles had Keith McKitrick and Carl Beck- with trying. Carl was also seen in the 220 low hurdles with Willie Vaughn. The relay claim- ed four of the team’s best in the persons of Willie Vaughn, Clinton Bostwick, Herbert Tasker, and John Thompson. Field sports, so named because they do not involve running, are: shot put, pole vault, and high jump. In the pole vault the following boys competed: Dick Herfurth, Dave Reese, and Bob Sorenson. The high jump had Don Wil- bur and Dick Herfurth. The running broad jump saw Willie Vaughn, John Thompson, Don Wilbur, and Clinton Bostwick in action. In the shot put were: John Johnson, Joe Su- hayda, and Don Wolverton. 1938 Season in Brief The Indians defeated the Vikings with a score of 64 to 42 to take the City title for the seventh consecutive season. Traveling to Lan- sing for the State meet, the Tribe missed first place honors by the narrow margin of 1% points. Central also took second in the Valley and Regional meets, being nosed out in both cases by Saginaw. In the Central State Invita- tional Meet at Mt. Pleasant, the Tribe thin- clads also took second place. During the regu- lar season, the Indian tracksters won every meet except that with Saginaw, which was lost by the score of 52% to 51%, practically a tie score. Track offers more opportunity for individ- ual starring than does any other major sport. 1939 Page Forty Three CROSS COUNTRY TEAM —Row 1, Lloyd Maidment, Bob Elias, Mr. John Seaton, Coach, Vern Krebsbach, Captain, Don Splane; Row 2: Carroll Wright, Warren Heddy, Walt Moore, Orrin Oide, Frank Pritchard, Bob Smith. Gross Country One of the most strenuous of the sports, from the participants’ point of view, that can be found among the many branches of Cen- tral’s athletic department, is the cross country running. Under the fine coaching of Mr. John Seaton, the Braves with Vern Krebsbach as captain, won two of the three meets in which they were entered. In the All-City Meet, Central ran off with all the honors, when she defeated Flint North- ern by a score of 30 to 25. It was in this meet that the most outstanding feat of the season was performed by Captain Vern Krebsbach. With the Indians and Vikings fighting for the city title Vern set a new course record of 10:24.0, bringing the city championship as well as another first place for his team. The victory over the Norsemen won for Central the right to appear in the regionals, which were held at Dearborn. Although the Tribesmen did their very best they were un- able to move up into that first spot. The meet was won by Dearborn High, with Central plac- ing second. This gave them a berth to the State finals. Again in this contest the Indians were forc- ed to accept defeat, at the hands of the hard- running Royal Oak Team, who copped first place. In the all-state meet, thirteen schools en- tered a total of ninety-two runners. Consid- ering the fact that so many were competing credit should be given to Walt Moore of Cen- tral for taking a high sixth place. In the four years that Central has entered into competition of this kind she has had an enviable record. In 1935, the first year she en- tered the State Finals she was fortunate in running off with the third position. The next year she placed third again. In 1937 the In- dians won the top spot in the State finals. 1938 found them in second place. This is in- deed a fine record, one of which every loyal Indian should be proud, for the stamina and ability that is required by this sport is by no means small. The success of the team was credited to the fine coaching of Mr. John Seaton and the able captainship of Vern Krebsbach. Though they were not fortunate enough to win first honors they were seen as a hard-fighting team in sec- ond place. Other members of the team who contributed to its success were: Lloyd Maidment, Walt Moore, Don Splane, Bob Elias, Carroll Wright, Warren Heddy, Orrin Oide, Frank Pritchard, and Bob Smith.

The team is coached by Mr. Sulho Nurmi, who has turned out squad after squad of fine golfers. The team, as usual, met with keen competition and came out with flying colors. The team is made up of a group of boys who, furnishing their own equipment, meet teams from other schools and play on an individual and team basis, that is, the score of each team-mate is used in computing the score for the entire team. The 1939 team was composed of boys representative of the three classes, who all proved to be very good play- ers, including R. B. Stipes, Frank Johnson, Kenneth James, Richard James, Key Smith, Lyle Arehart, Shirley Welch, Sheldon Parker, Robert Fuller, Eugene Newland, Dan Hag- gerty, Dean Hill, and Larry Davis. TENNIS, though considered a minor sport, is as hard, fast, and interesting sport as any offered in the athletic program. Skill and quick thinking mark a good player. Coached by Mr. Clement Rowe, Central’s “racqueteers” place consistently high year after year. The Tennis match consists of six single and three double matches. The boys playing the singles are paired together so that a smooth working combination is formed and take part in the doubles in this fashion. The first individual to win two sets or two out of three sets wins the match, and as each match counts as a point, the team getting a score of five out of a pos- sible nine wins the match. Doubles count the same as singles in scoring. The squad: Louis Champion, Jack Matson, Bob Bellairs, Bob Napper, Dave Duncan, Bob Hall, Dennis Mum- by and George Hunter. TENNIS TEAM—Row 1: Bob Hall.

SWIMMING, one of the most interesting of the minor sports was revived this year. Cen- tral returned to inter-scholastic swimming after a lapse of nearly ten years. The Indian “tankers” had the misfortune of being slightly new at the game, and though beaten four times in four matches, the squad showed that a little more experience will provide them with the necessary factors to come out on top next year. To all appearances, Central will have a much better squad in the future. The team was coached by Mr. John Milholland, who worked hard teaching the team technique and poise, and on the development of natural ad- vantages to produce an outstanding squad. The only member of the team to reach the state finals was Alexander Canja, who is also Student Union President and Chief of the In- dian Braves. Canja, a diver of no small talent, took fifth place. SOPHOMORIbS, who play on the bas- ketball team, are among the hardest working of the boys out for any sport. Receiving little recognition for their efforts to move up the ladder to the Reserves or the Varsity, these fellows are out trying their best to become first-string material. Playing ten games against seasoned and experienced players, they turn- ed in a fine record. Two games stood out as the highlights of their season. Grand Blanc and Mt. Morris, each having beaten the Indian squad once, were in turn given a fair defeat by the hard-fighting Sophomores, who took great delight in their revenge. St. Michael’s reserves were also a victim of Central’s under- classmen. Mr. Jerry Udell, who did a fine job of coaching these boys, stated that this de- velopment will help to form better teams in the future for it affords experience, an excel- lent teacher.

Senior Hockey Squad . . . . 7y Gym. Class .... Senior Baseball Squad. Girls’ Athletics Physical Education for girls has long been an important part of life at Central. One of the few required subjects, three years of gym credit are necessary for graduation. This re- quirement is lifted, however, for those stud- ents in debating or music courses, and also for those whose health will not permit taking gym work. Miss Mildred Bunce is assisted by Miss Kathryn Jarvis, who also has charge of the swimming classes. The fifth hour is reserved for modified gym classes for those girls who are not strong enough for strenuous exercise but want some gym work. In this class the girls bowl, swim, practice archery, and play board games and ping pong. In the regular gym classes the girls’ time is filled by exercises, folk dances, swimming, basketball, the basketball free throw contest, and the Mott Pentathlon. The pentathlon is sponsored by the Mott Foundation for the girls of junior and senior high schools in Flint. Medals are awarded to those who prove their ability as athletic girls. Probably the most interesting part of the work of the physical education department is the program of extra-curricular sports. From a modest start in 1922 when school was open- ed it has grown until it now offers five major and ten minor sports throughout the year. In cooperation with the department, the Girls’ Athletic Association, composed of girls who have earned fifty or more points toward a letter, decided on requirements for “F’s” and elected managers for the different sports. At present five hundred points are required for a first letter, seven hundred and fifty for a sec- ond, one thousand for a third, and thirteen hundred and fifty for a fourth. In addition to the points a “C” average and a student union membership is required for every letter. The fourth letter, however, demands senior life- saving, a “B” average, leadership, and per- sonality. Points are given for leadership in gym classes (squad leader and class captain), one hundred points for Junior Lifesaving, and an additional one hundred for the Senior badge. In the minor sports twenty-five points per semester are the maximum. Major sports, however, award seventy-five points at the most for second team members and one hun- dred for first team girls. A new minor sports letter, announced last fall, was designed to fit the needs for some award for the girl who is interested in sports, but who is not strong enough to enter in the strenuous competition of major sports. Five hundred points are also required for this let- ter, an old English “F”, but the points may be won only in minor sports, swimming, lifesav- ing, and leadership. The first major sport of the year, hockey, was enthusiastically received by five first Pape Forty-Eight PROSPECTUS teams and six second teams starting sched- uled games in October. Although the North- ern-Central annual tilt was called off, the two schools got together for their yearly Hoc- key banquet at Northern the 15th of Novem- ber. At the banquet fourteen first letters, nine second letters, one third letter, and one fourth letter were awarded; Mareda Corning re- ceiving her fourth letter. Mrs. Jarvis also an- nounced the honorary hockey team: Captain Phyllis Helcher, center half back; Donna Rol- land, center forward; Eleanor Garthwaite, right inside; Virginia Grice, left inside; Ruby Turner, right wing; Doris Barr, left wing; Peg Savage, right half; Margaret Anderson, left half; Margaret Samuels, left full; Zoe Bozion, right full; and Margaret Crane, goal. Basketball practice began in January under the supervision of Mildred Johnson, manager, and the season closed with a banquet held in the Central cafeteria, March 30. During the season four senior teams, eight junior teams, and seven sophomore teams contested among themselves. The Senior Red, Vassar, and Smith emerged as victors. Tradition, however, was shattered at the annual tilt with North- ern, March 8, in the Emerson gym when the more skilled Viking girls for the first time in four years upset the Senior and Sophomore teams with scores of 27-24 and 31-18. The Juniors, however, showed the Northenders their mettle by a favorable return of 25-13. Honorary basketball team members announc- ed at the banquet were: Guards, Virginia Grice, Nina Squire, Peg Savage, Donna Rol- land, and Ruby Turner; forwards: Nellie Bak- er, Theta Wilkins, and Velma Polsgrove. That night Miss Bunce awarded ten first letters, eight second letters, and five third letters. April and baseball were synonymous to the girls who turned out in large numbers for this ever popular major sport. This year Nina Squire was the manager. Revived last year after ten years, lifesaving soon regained its former popularity as a major sport. The class of eighteen girls under Mrs. Jarvis studied the Red Cross junior and senior lifesaving tactics over a period of six months with final tests held April the third and the tenth. Mr. Jerry Greenlich of Zimmerman was the examiner. A special feature of the course was a talk given by Mr. Lacy, field representa- tive of the American Red Cross. Concluding the list of major sports, the swimming marathon was started this year. The marathon is a swim of ten miles divided into lengths of fifteen hundred yards at a time. The girls out for this sport started in January and the Winners, Phyllis McDonald and Jean McDonald, finished last March. The swim- ming of the seven hundred and four lengths of the pool was planned to improve the form and endurance of those entered. The girls could swim on Monday and Tuesday after school or during their study period. One hun- dred points were awarded to any girl who fin- J unior Baseball Squad .... Junior Basketball Squad .... Girls' Lifesaving Class .... Junior Hockey Squad. 1939 Page Forty-Nine Sophomore Basketball .... Basketball Team in Action .... Modified Gym Class .... Sophomore Hockey Squad. ished the ten miles, none were given to those who could not go the entire distance. Rounding out the swimming program for the year, a tournament was held in late April. The events were : free style races, relay races; and contests for form in the crawl, sidestroke, breast stroke and fancy diving. Any girl who had practiced a minimum of three hours for the tournament and placed first, second, or third in one of the events received at least twenty-five points. Central is one of the few public schools in the country to have riding listed as an extra- curricular sport. The Equestriennes, under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Hodges, ride every week, weather permitting, in the spring and autumn. The girls are divided into three groups, beginners, intermediate, and advanc- ed. Five points an hour are awarded for this sport. A few faithful girls turned out for golf dur- ing the warm seasons. Mrs. Bessie Hemingway was the instructor and Swartz Creek was the place where they played. As a minor sport, points are awarded on a purely time basis. One of the most popular of the winter sports is badminton, managed by Eleanor Garth- waite. Approximately thirty girls reported for practice and the tournament held in Decem- ber. Points are awarded to the girls on a per- centage ratio of the games won. Co-educational fencing was started in Feb- ruary with Jerry Greenlich of Zimmerman as instructor. In addition to fencing the boys studied sabre technique. A tournament was begun in April, to find the four best girl and four best boy fencers. The public was allowed to see the finals and an exhibition sabre match between Mr. Greenlich and one of the win- ners on April 13. Prizes were awarded to the winners and runners-up. Archery was the first minor sport, in fact the only sport in Central to go co-ed. At first organized for girls only last fall the member- ship was opened to boys. A branch of the sport is the purely social Arrow Head Archers Club, which is sponsored by Miss Jane Delano. In tennis twenty-five points are given to all enrolled whether they be beginners or ad- vanced. Instructions in the rules of the game and the proper technique of holding the rac- quet are given the beginner. Additional points may be earned by the more advanced players in the annual spring tournament. This year, a newcomer, Mrs. John Milholland, coached the players. Volley ball always draws a fair number of players each winter. This year it lasted for two weeks ending with the championship game between Wisconsin and Smith on March 31. So large a number of girls turned out for the sport that it had to be taught on separate nights to the different classes. Fifty points were awarded as a maximum. Hiking, at one point a mile, was offered on Saturday afternoons under the supervision of the “F” Club. Both hiking and volley ball were managed by Helen Armstrong. “O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave” Seniors First Row: Joe Abbenante Future Craftsmen of America. Track, Cross Country.

Smith Intra-Mural Sports Rheita Tappan Bud Walker James Whitson 1938-1939 in Retrospect The latter part of the year 1938 and the early part of 1939 was a period of political upheaval. It was a victory for dictatorships and a test for democracy. The lag in industry and the rise of labor problems continued. A victory for dictatorships in that the dic- tators absorbed patches of the map of Europe without serious protest from the European de- mocracies. Hitler, “the number one man of Germany’’, successfully took over Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Memel. Mussolini, the “head-man’’ of Italy, did likewise with Al- bania. The only effort of the democracies that might have proved successful, the Munich Four Power Peace Pact, became invalid when Hitler pushed into Memel and took over Czechoslovakia. Another victory for the dic- tators was the end of the Spanish Civil War and the setting up of a Fascist state under General Franco. This period saw the almost constant strug- gle of the Chinese and Japanese continue into blood-shed and property destruction. The lag in industry brought about acute social and economic conditions. This lag brought on an unemployment problem that also meant a rise of labor problems. What effects were these conditions to have on the youth of our country? Were the youth to support or endanger our democracy? These questions could be best answered by youth it- self. Youth answered that it is intelligent and well-informed enough to uphold the fine tra- ditions set up, a century and a half before, in the Constitution of the United States. The editors and staff of the 1939 Prospectus felt that youth realized that the only REAL form of government is one that is of, by, for the people. In a time when, elsewhere in the world, men, women, and children were being de- prived of personal liberties, those who were fortunate enough to live under American free- dom said “Thank God for America. Instead of power-crazed men like Hitler and Mussolini for a heritage, we can boast a heritage of great patriots like Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.” 1939 Page Eighty-One Chief of the Indian Braves and Indian Princess Alex Canja Mary Ellen Ward Alexander Canja, 1938-39 Student Union President, and Chief of the Indian Braves, was born in Detroit on August 11, 1921. He lived there for the first two years of his life. After that his family moved to Flint where they have lived ever since. Alex attended four elemen- tary schools, Kearsley, Homedale, Oak, and Stevenson; and Whittier Junior High. He was a member of the Attic Players, also its presi- dent for one year. Alex has black hair and brown eyes, is 5 feet 7 4 inches tall. He thinks all the girls are fine, but he especially admires girls who are truthful. Drama and diving are his two main interests. In fact he was the intermediate div- ing champion of Flint, and took fifth place in the State Interscholastic. His hope was to be an actor. Swimming, diving, football and bas- ketball headed his list of favorite sports. How- ever, his high scholastic average showed him to be an all-around individual. He liked to read adventure books and enjoyed Donald Duck’s escapades. He has three brothers and sisters . . . four members of his family had already attended Central. The Canjas were represent- ed at Central from 1926 until 1933. Alex was a member of the Attic Players. He had parts in the 1938 Junior Play and the in the 1939 Senior Play “Kind Lady”. He played intermediate football. Mary Ellen Ward, vice-president of the Student Council, was chosen Indian Princess of Central, as a junior. She had brown eyes and light brown hair and was 5 feet 71 £ inches tall. Her favorite hobby was sports—tennis and baseball especially. She expected to at- tend the University of Michigan after spend- ing two years at Flint Junior College. Her ambition was to be either an interior decora- tor or a school teacher. Mary Ellen was born at Jackson, Michigan on March 4, 1922. She spent her vacations at Pentwater, Grand Haven, and Walloon Lake. A member of numerous clubs at Central, Mary Ellen was active in the F Club, Thalian Club, Equestriennes, Belle Masque, Comman- derins, and the G.A.A. When she was a sophomore she was Re- cording Secretary of the Student Union. She had a supporting role in the “Little Clown”, 1939 Junior Play. She attended Kearsley elementary school, Whittier, and Central, having high scholastic standings throughout her school career. The election of the Chief of the Indian Braves and Indian Princess is conducted an- nually by the Arrow Head. These students were chosen by the student body as the most representative Indians in Central on the basis of scholarship, friendliness, ethical character, sportsmanship, and personality. Members of the court of honor named in the order of the number of votes received are “Ladies-in-Waiting” Peg Savage, Yvonne Si- monson, Nancy Mixer, Marion Townsend and “Braves” Lowell Beach, Bob Harvey, Andy Maschino, and Morrie Bickoff. “Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars,... Fine Arts 9 9 THE KALEIDOSCOPE—In true Kaleidoscope fashion the fourteenth annual production teas participated in by practically all phases of the life of the school. For the first time in history a Mistress of Ceremonies shared in the introduction of the various acts. Page Eighty-Four PROSPECTUS THE KALEIDOSCOPE The Kaleidoscope, Central’s all-school re- vue, presented a variety of acts on November 8, 9, 10, and 12, 1938.

As usual, the one-act play, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, was a tre- mendous hit. This year, it was a one-act mys- tery comedy titled “The Solution”. Those who took part were: Elizabeth Hutchinson, Imo- gene Harris, Clara Mae Caldwell, Virginia Light, Charlotte West, Robert Trim, William Juden, Leon McNew, Jack Mulholland, James Klutts, and Adreon Johnston. A casual glance through the ages from the time of the cave woman gave a general idea of “Feminine Fashions Through the Ages”. Two members of the Home Economics Department, Miss Edna Carr and Miss Hazel Hoyt, sponsor- ed the act. Models were: Virginia Daine, Jean Ferguson, Margaret Froats, Alice Gensheim- er, Betty Moore, Maxine Gore, Betty Wolshe, Christine Grey, Patricia Foran, Jessie Knight, Roberta Deno, Norine Cornosh, Wilma Glad- en, Delores Meehling, Anna Palma, Joyce Sal- ger, and Virginia Wilcox.

Leon McNew acted as narrator, and the following impres- sions were presented: a Spanish Senorita, by Clara Mae Caldwell; a Japanese Maiden, by Eleanor Miller; Shylock, by Roy Eddy; and Abraham Lincoln, by John Kirby. Under the direction of Franklyn S. Weddle, the Central High School Band offered “The Whistler and His Dog”, by Arthur Pryor, and “The Donkey Serenade” by Rudolph Friml.

A Sailors Sextette, composed of Bob Calhoun, Earl Coon, John Kirby, Jack Durkee, Bob Lutterbie, and Bob MacDougall furnished good entertainment. A Tap Solo by Audrey Adams; a girls’ octette sang “Red Sails in the Sunset”. Mary Rose McGillory and Rosemary Hall gave a tap duet. 1939 Page Eighty-Five “RUDDIGORE”, the 1930 Opera was presented to capacity houses April 20 and 21. Lacking individual stars the all- around excellence of the cast made the performances the high spot of the music year. W Page Eighty-Six PROSPECTUS “RU D DIGORE” or “The Witch’s Curse” Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Ruddigore,” or “The Witch’s Curse”, was presented by Central’s Music Department, on April 20 and 21, 1939, as its annual opera. The story of the opera is a satire of a type of melodrama popular in the west-side of London in the 1850’s. The plot of the story involves the Murga- troyd family being doomed by an evil spirit to commit crime each day in order to pay for their unceasing persecution of the witches. To avoid this awful curse Ruthven Murgatroyd hides his baronny and passes the ancestral doom to his brother, Despard. Despard later deserts his lover, Margaret (who becomes insane). Ruthven, under the name of Robin Oak Apple, courts and wins Rose Maybud. His brother, Richard, later, however, steals her love from him and wins her for himself. As a result of a quarrel over the affections of Rose, Richard plans revenge by telling that Robin is the true heir to the curse. Rose, fickle as she is, leaves Robin and offers her heart to Despard. He, however, has returned to his first love, Margaret. While all these tangled love affairs are going on the procession of bridesmaids is chanting the wedding songs. The Second Act finds Robin restored to his position. He must commit a crime daily. His attempts to carry out the curse are so poorly done that his ancestors come out of their pic- ture frames and condemn him. Old Adam, a servant, is sent to steal a girl, but he returns with old Hannah, who for ten years has been true to the memory of Sir Roderic Murgatroyd, who had committed suicide. Robin proves that the dead Roderic is alive so Hannah is re- warded for her faith and Robin wins Rose. The witch’s curse is now broken and all ends hap- pily. The cast included: Doris Blair and Eleanor Nemeth as Rose Maybud; Dame Hannah, Betty Lou Barker and Jessie Meade; Margar- et, Joan Kleinert and Margaret Coulter; Zorah, Lillian Coupar and Mary Ernsberger; Ruth, Pearl Puskas and Helen Swearingen; Robin Oak Apple, John Kirby; Richard Daunt- less, Robert Calhoun and Arthur Nitz; Old Adam Goodheart, Bob McDougal and Mal- com Yagger; Sir Roderic Murgatroyd Wil- fred Hunter and Donald Gane; Sir Despard Murgatroyd, Cornelius Daniels and Lloyd Johnson.

Written by Edward Chodorov from a story by Hugh Walpole, it was directed by Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown and presented by the Senior Drama Class on May 11th and 12th, in the auditorium. The feminine lead, Mary Herries, a gener- ous-hearted woman involved in a strange sit- uation, was portrayed by Ethel Toth and Dor- othy Mate. The villain, Henry Abbott, was played by Leon McNew and Lowell Beach. The difficulties in which Mary becomes in- volved herself provide the theme of the story. Henry, who plays on the sympathies of Mary, says that he and his wife were penniless. Mary the “kind lady” invites them to stay at her home. Once they move into the house they take possession of it. Henry is a hypnotist. He makes Mary be- lieve she is an invalid and thereby keeps her imprisoned for two years. The arrival of an art appraiser almost means aid, for Mary has a chance to talk to him alone. When Henry tries to make Mary sign away her fortune she wakes up and through a rise of events is able to break from under the yoke. Wound through the main plot is the tender love story of Peter and Phyllis, played by William Siegel and Marian Townsend. Lucy Weston, Mary’s best friend, was portrayed by Gayle Marengo. The part of Ada, an idiot, was convincingly portrayed by Sydney Hays, who stole the show. Roy Eddy and Virginia Poole were seen as Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, the ser- vants, who have a simple-minded daughter, Aggie, the portrayal of whom demonstrated effectively the talents of Gladys Evert and Hazel Wright. Pat Kennedy and Viola Trop, playing the role of the maid, Rose, turned in fine performances. Jack Collins was the bank- er, Mr. Foster, and Bill Pierce, the doctor. Dan LaFave as Rosenberg, a French Jew, was an art appraiser. The play committees were: properties, Jan- ice Williams, Anthos Farah, Watson Pierce, Jack Collins and Bernadine Amboy; publicity, June Stephens, Katherine Petrides, Clara Mae Caldwell, Watson Pierce, Bruce Turcotte, and Lucy Gundlach; tickets, Joan Crane, Yvonne Simonson, and Bob Bowerman; costumes, Charleen Smith; make-up, Walter Myers, Kathleen Lane, Sydney Hays; stage-setting, Russell Townley, Bruce Turcotte, Sherwood Northrup; programs, Dan LaFave. The stud- ent director and prompter was Madge Auld. Members of the faculty who assisted were: Miss Elsa Dietrich. Miss Mabel Pinel, Mr. John Short, Mr. Percy Davidson, Mr. Elwyn Lath- am, Mi-. Dorr Snoyenbos, and Mr. Walter Bloch. Page Eighty-Eight PROSPECTUS “THE LITTLE CLOWN” After more than fifty hours of strenuous rehearsal and preparation, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, the 1939 Junior play production of the “Little Clown” was presented February 16 and 18 in the audi- torium. The “Little Clown”, a comedy in three acts, written by Avery Hopwood, revolves around a young and charming circus girl, Patsy, played by Ilah Smith. She is the star performer with a one-ring circus, her specialty being a trained dog act. Dick Beverly, portrayed by Harry Jennings, is a bareback rider who had run away from his aristocratic Virginia family. He and Patsy fall in love with each other. Patsy is also loved by Pete Reynolds, a young Irish acrobat played by Ed Leach and Frank Pritch- ard. When the circus comes to Beverlytown, Dick’s mother and father find him and try to persuade him to quit the show and take a law course in school. Dick agrees to their persua- sions only if he can marry Patsy. His parents are shocked at the idea of their son marrying an uneducated circus girl. They agree, on the condition that Patsy visit in their home for six months to become accustomed to their manner of living and to acquire the qualities of a lady. Patsy and Dick consent to this and after the six months she is presented to the Beverlys’ friends. She not only upsets them but shocks them with her frankness and her circus talk and manners. Feeling herself a failure in the new surroundings she runs back to the circus. A year later Patsy is a changed girl. Her stay at the Beverlys had given her a yearning for the better things in life, so she has per- fected herself in English, French, and eti- quette. Dick, who has been unable to forget her, is pleased when his younger brother, Roddy, played by Russ Witten, enthralled by Patsy’s talk of the circus, runs away to join Patsy’s circus. When Mr. and Mrs. Beverly go to retrieve Roddy they are so pleased with her improvements that they urge a reconciliation between her and Dick. The lovers then are married and lived happily ever after. The fine supporting cast was as follows: Joe Shahada enacted the part of Mr. Anderson, the owner of the circus; Virginia Bachman was a typical circus girl named Doris; Mary Ellen Ward, Shirley Steffen, Phyllis Adams, and Mary Jane Brooks also were circus per- formers; Warren Coles and Phyllis Wafford were Mr. and Mrs. Beverly for the duration of the play; Barbara Jean White was Mrs. Pauncefoote, a very refined Virginia lady; Jacqueline Andrews turned French to be Blanch, Mrs. Pauncefoote’s daughter; Homer Dowdy was a Kentuckian gone “British”; Howard Ayliffe was a faithful old servant, “Uncle Shad”. Mary Ellen Ward was in charge of proper- ties and Leonard Buckler was publicity man- ager. Miss Mutton and Miss Parmelee were fac- ulty advisors. 1939 Page Eighty-Nine THE JAMBOREE, one of the most uproarious productions pre- sented within Central’s walls, went into full swing the evening of Jan- uary 25. “Nap” LaVoie, athletic director, was in charge. The men teachers displayed their talents in a startling version of “Ferdinand, the Bull”, complete to the bumble bee. In another act, Mr. Broome and Mr. Mumby turned to the trapeze in an impersonation of “The Man on the Flying Trapeze”. Under the direction of Mildred Bunce and Kathryn Jarvis, the women teachers cut loose in a real, old- fashioned reel. An umbrella dance was given by students of the girls’ gym classes, including Anne Doyle, Georgianna Dyer, Gayle Marengo, Betty Boatman, Sydney Hays, Louina Mae McKinley, and Evelyn Michol- son. Another attraction, sponsored by the women, was a donkey tap. Page ninety PROSPECTUS STYLE SHOW—The annual Spring Style Show was presented before an appreciative audience on April 4, 1939, sponsored by the Home Economics department and directed by Miss Edna Carr, Miss Hazel Hoyt, Mrs. Louella Harris, Miss Dorothy Stone, and Miss Edna Allen. Girls from the beginning; classes ushered, attired in cotton dresses made by themselves. Girls in the advanced classes modeled cotton, wool, and silk dresses, formals, suits, and coats which they had made. Boys from the Home Economics classes modeled men’s clothes, and contrasted the cor- rect way to dress against the incorrect. Clothes for dress, sport, and school were included. The opening address was made by Miss Grace Pinel. Music was sup- plied by a girls’ string quartet composed of Hazel Wright, Clara Wood, Clara Mae Caldwell, and Ruth Norton. 1 9 3 9 Page Ninety-One FORENSIC WIN- NERS—Row 1: An- gelina Vojdik, Adele Sohn, Virginia Tem- ple, Eda Farmer; Row 2: Hilly Pierce, Laurence Johns, H. E. Hawley, Lawson Brown, and Warren Gilbertson. FORENSICS Forensic activities of the year were under the direction of Mr. Harold Hawley, head of the department, assisted by the other public speaking teachers, Mrs. Maude S. Beagle and Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown. No state contest was held, but opportunity for competition was afforded in school, inter-school, sub-district, and district contests. In declamation, in which the student selects some famous oration and memorizes it, twelve students took part in the preliminary contest. These were Billy Williams, Anita Dumont, Marion Forrester, Warren Gilbertson, Carle Palmer, Jay Hanna, Monroe Hawley, Laur- ence Johns, Mary Lou O'Leary, Mary Ruth Stingel, Eda Farmer, and Angeline Vojdik, of whom the six last named were entered in the school finals. Angeline Vojdik, Laurence Johns, and Eda Farmer participated in the dual contest with Northern. Competing among twelve contestants from six schools in the Valley, Angeline Vojdik won first place and the right to enter the district contest at Lan- sing. Eda Farmer won second place. “Ropes” by Stanford Clinton was Angeline’s oration. Oratory contests were entered into by four students: June Stephens, “Why in the World?”; Lawson Brown, “The Power to Cope”; Virginia Temple, “The Ladder of a Modern Girl”; and Adele Sohn, “With Malice Toward None”. The three last named took part in the dual meet with Northern, and Law- son Brown and Virginia Temple entered the sub-district contest. In this branch of foren- sics, the students write their own orations. Extempore speaking demands that the stud- ent prepare an extensive background of ma- terial, any phase of which he may be called upon to discuss. Current events were the sub- jects selected for 1938-39. Class contests in which twelve students took part were conduct- ed in preparation for the school finals. Results in the school finals were William Pierce, first; Warren Gilbertson, second; and Carl Ballard, third. Other contestants were: Monroe Haw- ley, Carle Palmer, and Harry Morley. The three school finalists participated in the dual meet with Northern. In the sub-district con- test, twelve representatives from Valley schools took part. William Pierce drew the topic, “Thomas E. Dewey as a Candidate for President” and won first place. Warren Gil- bertson, drawing the topic, “When Will Hitler Stop”, took fifth place. By virtue of their first place awards, An- geline Vojdik and William Pierce represented Central High School and Saginaw Valley in the district contests at Lansing, May 4.

DEBATE Central’s Debate Team, for the first time in the history of the school, reached and won the State Finals, after a season with but a single defeat. The team upheld the affirmative side of the standard question of the year, “Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain.” The aim of the Coach, Mr. Harold E. Haw- ley, was to give more students a chance to take part in the activities of the team. Fourteen students were on the team early in the semes- ter, until the final team was selected. The final team was: William Siegel, Watson Pierce, and Billy Pierce. That the debaters might get much-needed experience, practice debates were held early in the year on Saturday mornings. Some of these were held in competition with other schools and Central, as usual, came out on top. Some of the schools that we met were: River Rouge, East Lansing, Lansing Eastern, Ionia, Jackson. The second series was the regular State League Series, in which there were two divi- sions, the Preliminary series and the Elemina- tion Series. The elimination of all other schools left Central and Battle Creek to fight it out in the finals. In the State League we lost the first debate to Northern by a two to one decision. In the next three Central’s debaters were unde- feated. In the Elimination Series, we won the first from Royal Oak by a decision of 2 to 1. The second of these brought an unanimous decision from East Lansing. A critical decision at Brown City spelled victory. In the fourth with Grand Rapids the decision of the four judges was unanimous. Five debaters took part in the most impor- tant phase of the debate work this year. They were: William S’iegel, Watson Pierce, Adele Sohn, Billy Pierce, and Leon McNew. Siegel was the only veteran from last year, but he meant more to the record set by the team, than any student in the history of the activity. The two Pierce boys, though not related, show the same manner and ability and should receive a great deal of credit also. The state Championship debate was held in Hill Auditorium at Ann Arbor. Battle Creek was represented by Stuart Main, Raymond Davis, and Robert Gibson. R. C. Faunce coached the Cereal City team. Each debater was presented with a watch in reward for his efforts, while both schools were awarded handsome trophies. In reaching the finals for the second succes- sive year the Flint trio broke a record of 21 years’ standing. Only once before in the his- tory of the Michigan High School Debating League has a team reached the finals two years in succession. Judges for the debate were Prof. Harry G. Barnes, Iowa State University; Prof. G. E. Densmore, University of Michigan; and Prof. Carl G. Brandt, University of Michigan. The decision of the judges was unanimous. 1939 Page Ninety-Three THE BAND The Band, under the capable direction of Mr. Franklyn S. Weddle, is a part of school life of which every student should be proud. The foremost purpose of the Band is to bring about an appreciation of music. Sixty-five members in the Band met daily for rehearsals. A student conductor takes charge of the Band in the absence of the instructor; he also con- ducts at special appearances of the group. The only requirements for membership to the group are: an instrument, the willingness to practice, and, of course, the ability to play the instrument. In the spring of 1939 the Band journeyed to the beautiful Hill Auditorium in Ann Ar- bor, on the campus of the University of Mich- igan. The band, as usual, attained a high rank. This was conducted in conjunction with the State Music Festival. The Band was always present at the basket- ball and football games to lend support to the team. At various times in the year the Band made appearances at churches in Flint and was very well received. Combined with the orchestra and choir on April 5,1939, the Band presented their annual concert in the auditorium of the school. It was a great success. In the annual all-school revue, The Kaleid- oscope, the Band was featured as an act. They offered, “The Whistler and His Dog”, by Ar- thur Pryor, and “The Donkey Serenade”, by Rudolph Friml. At the Saginaw Valley Band and Choir Fes- tival held at the I. M. A. Auditorium in May, the Band offered, as did the other schools rep- resented, a selection by itself. At the close of all the single offerings the bands and choirs represented joined to bring a beautiful climax to the affair. The other schools represented were: Saginaw, Pontiac, Port Huron, Owcsso, and Flint Northern. The band is classified according to their instruments; FLUTE and PICCOLO: Arnold Babcock, Clinton Norton and Bill Sherman; OBOE: Charles Anderson; B-FLAT CLARI- NET: Leonard Buckler, Fred Bailey, Dale Boyce, Jack Bundy, Betty Chaplin, Jack Mann, Kenneth Nichols, Betty Anderson, James Pickering, Betty Richardson, Fred Smith, Paul Stone, Arthur Tracy, Charles Haight and Duane Goodright; ALTO CLARI- NET: Robert Henderson and Fred Van War- mer; BASS CLARINET: Myrton Bushong and Bob Foreman; BASSOON: Katherine Ander- son and Merry william Miller; ALTO SAXO- PHONE: Dorothy Mate and Theodore Georges; TENOR SAXOPHONE: John An- thony; CORNET: Bill Bigelow, Warren Gil- bertson, Arthur Schmidt, Nathaniel James, Roy McGovern and Christine Lewis; TRUM- PET: Donald Viculin and Jean Kellogg; FLUEGEL HORN: Vernal Morningstar; FRENCH HORN: Gerson Velick, Phyllis Weber, Charles Powell and Leo Fawcette; BARITONE: Howard Riley, Roy Brand and Walter Nichols; TROMBONE: Stan Clarke, Wayne Mallory, Kenneth Miller, Bob Delude, George Hays, Floyd Sullivan and Donald Wil- liams; BASS: Bob Smith, Bruce Owens and David March; STRING BASS: Cleta Kidwell and Marjoriebelle Bourdeau; TYMPANI: Clarence Schultz; PERCUSSION: James Her- shey and James Draper. Page Ninety-Four PROSPECTUS THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra was composed of sixty-fi%re members under the capable direction of Mr. Walter H. Bloch. This group meets daily to rehearse and study parts of great selections. The course also offers a study of symphonic literature and a great opportunity for the student who is interested in music to learn and appreciate great works. The member must own his own instrument, as it would be an impossibility to furnish so large a group with them. Other qualifications which are taken into consideration are the ability of the student to read music and devote time to his lesson. If he can not do this, his efficiency is impaired, and the entire group .suffers as a result. The first public appearance of the group was at the all-school revue, The Kaleidoscope, in the fall of the year. The entire group was featured as one act, and a smaller group acted as a pit orchestra for the rest of the perform- ance. The pit orchestra was comprised of thirty-five able players who had been selected for their ability. At the Kaleidoscope the group usually pre- sents a well-known classic. This is good train- ing for the members as it helps them to become more proficient in their work. At a special program in the spring, the or- chestras of the two high schools in Flint com- bined and gave a concert which featured as guest conductor Mr. Thor Johnson, considered one of America’s leading young musicians. The program included various excerpts and movements from concertos. The Gilbert and Sullivan Opera in the spring is always looked forward to by the members, and this year the Opera was “Ruddigore” or “The Witch’s Curse”. The music from this opus employed several moods affording much scope for the participants. The last important event in which the or- chestra is featured is the annual Commence- ment Exercises and the Senior Honors assem- bly. The orchestra, classed by instruments, in- cluded FIRST VIOLIN: Vivian Boyce, Mar- garet Coultre, Lee Cronenwalt, Max Csversko, Ardith Deford, Helen Gilbertson, Verna Mac Donald, Robert Purnell, Ruth S'iegle, Don Splane, Mary Margaret Stebbins, and Hazel Ann Wright. SECOND VIOLIN: Bill Bergey, Delores Bruce, Bob Creque, Harold Foster, Dorothea Jagger, Walter Kellaway, Lila Pif- fer, Walter Rates, Evelyn Sanders, and Clara Marie Wood.

PERCUSSION: Clifford Lynch, John Wilson, Leo Reno, and Clarence Schultz. 1939 Page Ninety-Five A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella Choir under the capable direction of Mr. Franklyn S. Weddle, was one of the most talented and active organizations in school. Since A Cappella means the choir sings without any accompaniment, correct harmon- izing and timing are the two factors governing its success. While the choir students receive five hours credit and are excused from Physical Educa- tion they contribute much outside time to the musical life of the community. The robes worn by the members are the re- sponsibility of the individuals, who must keep them pressed and in good condition. The choir had a busy year of varied activ- ities.
