B.S Prospectus Cameras Geometry Machine Shop Practice Physiography Boys' Gymnasium The wide range of studies offered in Flint Central High School helps its students to obtain the complete back- ground for the complex life of our mod- ern community. Following the recent trends in cur- riculum development, the course of study lists college preparatory, com- mercial, industrial arts, home econom- ics, and general curricula. A student is not held rigidly to the basic curriculum in which he is enrolled. He is allowed to extend his studies into other courses from which he may wish to obtain indi- vidual profits. This flexibility permits the arrange- ment of studies adapted to the individ- ual needs of the students. College preparatory courses of three types give to the student the founda- tion for later college life. The first is for those wishing to become teachers, law- yers, or to follow any other profession dealing with liberal arts. In the second, preparation is made for a future career in architecture or engineering. The third is the foundation for a career in medi- cine, either as doctor, nurse, dentist, or pharmacist. Public Speaking and Drama Visit the Classrooms The commercial curricula also of three types, are for students desiring to enter the business field after graduation from high school. Stenographic training is offered in one; bookkeeping is taken up extensively in the second, while the third course deals with buying and selling. The General Curriculum is designed for students who wish a basic founda- tion for possible future specialization in any field. The Industrial Arts Curricula prepare for various fields of mechanical en- deavor. Machine shop, woodworking, and pattern-making, drawing, and printing are offered. English Home Economics is primarily for girls interested in homemaking. This curricu- lum gives to girls the opportunity to study the design and making of cloth- ing, the selection and preparation of foods, and also teaches them how to care for and maintain a home. Naturally, these courses all have cer- tain requirements. For example, all of them require three years of English for graduation. This accounts for the many English classes in the school. Because the ninth grade English which is given in the junior high school, counts as one year, senior high students have to take this subject only during their sopho- more and junior years. Including Basic and Senior English, and Modern and English Literature, there are eighty-six English classes. Sixty-three classes in history, civics, and economics bring the social studies group close to English in numbers. Fifty-four shop classes, include archi- tectural and machine drawing, printing, auto mechanics, various shop classes, and allied mathematics. Language classes are rather popular in Central, for many students take a language as their elective. Latin classes are more numerous, having sixteen, with French not far behind with four- teen. There are four German classes. The sixty-eight science classes are divided up into different groups. Mod- ern Science, which has twenty classes, is a requisite in the Commercial Cur- ricula. Library Study Hall Chemistry classes number fourteen, while seven physics classes are for sci- ence majors in the College Preparatory curricula. Seventeen biology classes add testimony that the average student takes at least one year of some science. Four physiology classes, five physio- graphy, and one geology class show that students have interests in a wide field of science. Higher mathematics subjects, judging by appearances, are very popular with many, for their are five advanced geom- etry classes, three higher algebra, and three trigonometry classes. Beginning algebra is usually taken in junior high school, consequently, there are only three classes at Central. Printing Reference and Research Art Studio General Office Typing Boys’ Foods Biology The Commercial department has a large enrollment. In addition, many students not in the commercial curric- ulum who feel that training in typing and shorthand will help them in later life help to swell the number in these classes. Typing classes are almost always filled to capacity, and shorthand classes are often crowded. Bookkeeping, a very important subject to commercial stud- ents, is required of all for at least one year. Commercial law, commercial arith- metic, and retail selling are offered for commercial students who hope to qual- ify for clerical, executive, and sales po- sitions after leaving school. Basic Eng- lish, a one-semester course, is required of all commercial graduates. Fine Arts department subjects list four drama, four art, five public speaking, and nine music classes. The Home Economics course includes clothing and foods. Popularity of the boys' foods classes has increased to the point where there are six of them, while girls have eight. Twelve clothing classes are included in the course. Gymnasium classes are extremely crowded, because of the overflow en- rollment and, because this class is a requisite for graduation. Twenty-five study halls are filled to capacity to per- mit students to prepare the work as- signed for outside of class study. STUDENT COUNCIL—Around the table from the left: Bill Crick.

Council Heads Student Government THE STUDENT COUNCIL of Central High School is composed of the Student Body officers and representatives elected by the various cur- riculum groups. The elections in the fall of 1939 showed Don- ald Streat had come out on top as President. With him were the other victorious people: Ethel Collins, vice-president; Patricia Garvey, corresponding secretary; and Jane Harvie, re- cording secretary. The year 1940 was the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Council. It was one of the first groups of its kind in the country and spon- sored the first Student Union in America. This was started in 1924 and since has spread to more than a hundred schools and colleges throughout the land. 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 student body. The main purposes of the group are to provide an effective understanding between the students and the faculty, bettering conditions in and about the school, and to promote school spirit. The Social Commission headed by Georg- ianna Dyer, has charge of noon hour dances. parties, and other social functions. Ethel Collins was the chairman of the Finance Commission which has for its duty balancing the Student Union's budget. The Activities commission had for its chair- man Robert Crick. This group saw that all ath- letics were functioning properly and that clubs were properly chartered. The Welfare commis- sion was also headed by Ethel Collins. Among the projects of the year were the de- sign, and sale of book covers. In cooperation with the Hi-Y and Booker T. Washington club, a system of noon hour hall supervision was attempted. In the spring, the Council, backed up the drives of the three classes in obtaining funds for the building of the new tennis courts. A safety committee made safety stickers to place in the rear windows of automobiles. A safety assembly was conducted in April for all the students of Central. As a result of an amendment to the Constitu- tion in 1936, the number of members of the Council was decreased and the way of repre- sentation was changed. Now the Indians are represented according to class and curriculum. There are twelve members. 14 Ruth Parmalee Nurmi A B . M A Co-Sponsor SENIOR OFFICERS—left to right: K.

Beth Johnson, treas- urer, the Senior board of directors took full charge of the affairs which brought to a close the Seniors' fullest and most eventful year. Under the sponsorship and guidance of Mrs. Sulho Nurmi and Mrs. Florence Thomas, the Board had as its duties the planning and execut- ing of all Senior activities and the governing of the class. Like the boards of the other two classes, the Senior board is composed of the class officers and one member elected from each Senior group. Plans for the Senior dinner-dance were begun in April, when Miss Grace Pinel directed the board concerning arrangements for this event of commencement week. Dick Dinning, the president of the Senior class, after due delibera- tion, appointed the following committees to carry out the plans: music, Bruce Pollock, Bar- bara Gault, and Jack Tobin; dinner, K. Beth Johnson, Mary Ellen Ward, and Pete Binel; radio, Leon Decaire, Don Streat, and Charles Williams; programs, Nancy Arnold, and Helen Pettit; decorations, Helen Pettit, Frank Pritchard, and Louis Osborn; tickets, Doris Barr and Bev- erly Thomas; invitations and patrons, Harriet Sue Montague, Mary Hemingway, and Edna DeLong; arrangements, Barbara Gault.

Juniors Lead in Many Ways THE CLASS OF 1941 surged ahead, upright and eager, under the able leadership of Ronald Russell, president; Jean Becker, vice-president; Betty Shayman, secretary; and Virginia Gil- lett, treasurer. First of the three major projects in which the class showed an unusual amount of pep was the presentation of the annual Junior dramatic pro- duction. “The Widow in Green under the di- rectorship of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown was a real success. Its ambitious cast was headed by Polly Stone, Elinor Jean DeHart, Jake Smith, and Ried Torrey. A fine supporting cast coupled with the co- operation of many students who took charge of tickets, properties, costumes, and other duties, did much for its financial success as well. Joan Becker Vice-President The second project, a party given in the honor of the seniors, took place in the girls' gymnas- ium May 3. A decorative spring theme was used. Last, but certainly not least, was a tag day, which was held to raise money for the new tennis courts. The entire school rallied for the juniors and contributed their pennies, nickels, and dimes to the fund. Dorothy Louise Stone B.S. Co-Sponsor William Crick President Joan James Secretary Roberta Lipske Vice-President Sophomores Show Promise THE CLASS OF 1942, earnest and eager sopho- mores, bent on making their first year at Central a success, elected the following officers to lead them on their way: Bill Crick, president; Roberta Lipske, vice-president; Joan James, secretary; and Ruth Geyer, treasurer. Members of the Board of Directors for the year 1939-40 were Nadine Newton, Una Wat- kins, Gloria Rodammer, Margaret Dewar, Ruth McVay, Francis Kensman, Donna Erickson, Georgiana McGlenchey, Francis Oldham, Ken- neth Pollard, Joseph Martin, John Ranger, Bov Peltier, Jim Dorris, and the officers. The class of 1942 put across successfully sev- eral projects. The first of these was the annual sophomore party which was held in the girls' gymnasium in November. The sophomores and their guests, the members of the Student Union, swung out to the popular tunes of Jack Tobin and his orchestra. Another of the important activities was the paper sale, sponsored to raise money for the tennis courts. The school in general showed exceptional cooperation in making this sale a success. In all, the class of 1942, under the guidance of Miss Mabel Pinel and Miss Elsa Dietrich, showed great promise.

Mrs. Maude Stewart Beagle was the sponsor and the ninety- five members chose as officers: president, Lloyd Johnson; vice-president, Phyllis Adams; secretary, Harriet Roberson; treasurer, Homer Dowdy; and business manager, Reg Cantin. Several parties were given. Among them were the Fall Rushing party, Hallowe'en and Christmas parties. At Christmas, baskets were given to the poor. The bi-annual three-act play, The Charm School was presented December 15 and 16. The profits went to the Student Welfare Fund. Also, another full-length play, in Revolutionary setting, The Winning of a Satin Gown, was given before the Daughters of the American Revolution on Washington's birthday. The club produced a playlet in the Kaleido- scope and several one-act plays were given before different organizations of the city. BELLE MASQUE, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, concluded another suc- cessful year. One of the oldest clubs in the school, it has as its aim the promotion of better drama in both the school and the community. To further this purpose, the club gave plays both in and out of school. During the course of the school year, the Belle Masque presented several outside plays, in- cluding one given at Northern, on March 27, a play entitled Weiners on Wednesday was given to the students of Central during fourth and fifth hours.

THE 1940 PROSPECTUS was presented with the aim that at some future time it might be of some small help to revive the memories of life at Central High School for those who were part of the student body in 1940. H. Leonard Buckler headed the staff as editor- in-chief. He was aided by Ralph Moore, asso- ciate-editor and Fredric Gingrich, assistant- editor. Copy was edited by Betty E. Doyle.

Language Clubs Encourage Study THE FRENCH Club is an organization of stud- ents who wish to further their interests in the French people, their language, and France in general. Students wishing to qualify for mem- bership must have a C average along with the recommendation of their teachers. During the Christmas season, the club pre- sented a needy family with the most complete basket in school. Other activities included sev- eral interesting speakers, picnics, and a Christ- mas banquet. An outstanding event was the French language film Mayerling, which was presented to the public. In another, Miss Alice B. Sandiford spoke at length about the city of Paris, where she had lived for some time. The officers of the club were: Deborah De Camp, president; Barbara Schumacher, secre- tary; and Peg Stone, treasurer. Miss Mabel Pinel was the club sponsor.

Science Groups Develop Interests THE KHEM Club, under Mr. Chester Henry, sponsor, and Charles Callis, Chief Chemist, had a most successful year. Qualifications for joining this club are that a student be interested in science and that he maintain a B in chemistry. The club dealt with phases of chemistry that were too technical or took too long for regular classroom work. Projects such as the making of cosmetics, tooth paste, lotion, cold light, etch- ings, and other chemical feats were carried on in this organization. As in other years, the club members added to their chemical knowledge by taking trips to various parts of the city. These trips this year included the McDonald Dairy and the Sewage Disposal plant. THE NATURE CLUB held its first meeting on March 15. Future meetings were set for alter- nating Thursdays from seven o'clock in the evening until nine. The club was organized in response to numerous demands for a biology club. Mr. Leonard Redd and Miss Thelma Waaler were co-sponsors. Robert Spencer was elected president and Peter Leow, vice-president. Cath- erine Elliott was elected secretary. The club's main purpose was to encourage biological hobbies and every member had a biological hobby of some sort. Field trips, hikes, and nature walks added to the activities of the club.

Press Club Honors Journalists THE PRESS Club of Central High School is an invitational honorary society for members of the publications staffs. The organization is for the purpose of furthering journalism in the school. The club has a formal and a informal initia- tion; Arrow Head members are initiated in the fall term and Prospectus members are initiated in the spring term. In the 1939 and 1940 season the activities of the club were somewhat cur- tailed because of other work. However, the club had a few parties, among them a box social and the annual Publications Banquet in the spring at which letters were awarded to deserving members of the school publications. The 1939-1940 officers were Barbara Jean White, president; Beth Young, vice-president; Russ Witten, secretary-treasurer, and George A. Stracke and Joseph Kuras, faculty sponsors. Clyde E.

Beth Johnson, Pat Garvey, Harriette Sue Montague, ‘ Bobbe Lipske, Jane Harvie, Ethel Collins, Betty Shayman, Carolyn Ann Kraycar, Doris Barr, Nancy Arnold, Ruth Geyer, Joan James, Barbara Gault, Virginia Gillett, Barbara Jean White, Elizabeth Heystek, and Mary Ellen Ward. THE SKIPPERS' club, sponsored by Mr. John E. Wellwood, principal, is an honorary organiza- tion composed of boys who have the three high- est offices in the Student Union, in the three classes, and in the two publications. Member- ship continues while the boys remain in school. The purpose of the Skippers is to create and maintain desirable traditions throughout the school. A formal meeting was held in March. At this meeting Mr. Wellwood was host at a banquet for the boys. All new members were taken in at this time. The members for 1939-40 were Don Streat, Dick Dinning, Ronald Russell, Bill Crick, Dave Gault, Leonard Buckler, Bud Gillett. 26 School Service Aim of Hi-Y THE MOHAWK HI-Y was sponsored by Mr. Ralph Misner. Meetings were held every Tues- day evening at which time movies, speakers, and athletics were enjoyed. The Mohawks ushered and took tickets for all school activities held in the auditorium. With the aid of the Y- Girls a game room was conducted during the winter months. Other activities were selling football pins, giving Christmas baskets; helping the State Older Boys' Conference, which was held in Flint in December; and attending the Youth Hour at the First Baptist Church. Several parties were held. Among them were a roller skating party and a gym party to which all Junior Hi-Y members of the city were invited. Leon DeCaire held the office of president; Morrie Bikoff was vice-president; Ronald Rus- sell, secretary, and Donald Shaw and Bernard were Y. M. C. A. representatives. THE HI-Y CHIEFS were under the sponsorship of Mr. Jerry Udell during 1940, their first year of existence. Twenty-three boys formed this group which was chartered by the Young Men's Christian Association. As the year's project, the Chiefs worked with the Mohawks and the Book- er T. Washington Club to help reduce noise and confusion in the halls during the noon hours. The Chiefs entered a team in the Hi-Y Bas- ketball League of the city and reached the finals. They took part in the Youth Hour held at the First Baptist Church in March. The group also sent a delegation to the district convention at Flushing. The officers for the year were: president, Dan- ny Sullivan; vice-president, Jack Stallings; sec- retary, Bob Napper; treasurer, J. C. Nolen. KI-Y CHIEFS—Front Row: lack Stallings, Jerry Udell.

B McRone, Grease Paint Club Makes-up Actors THE GREASE PAINT Club was founded by Mr. Thomas Davey in the fall of 1938, and definitely became a necessary part of the extra-curricular activities of Central. During 1939-40 the club assumed the com- plete responsibility for all stage make-up for Central dramatic presentations. At the meetings the members learned the essential parts of the art of make-up and received practical exper- ience in the Kaleidoscope, the Attic Players production of The Charm School, the Junior and Senior Class plays and the all-school opera The Firefly. In addition, in 1940, the club took over the make-up for the Flint Civic operas. The officers of the Grease Paint Club were: president, Ilah Smith; vice-president, Marge Greer; and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Erity. Thomas Davey BE. Sponsor GREASE PAINT CLUB —Front Row: I.

Sponsor Philatelists Exchange Specimens THE STAMP Club met in room 238 every two weeks with Miss Edna Stewart as sponsor. At the regular meetings the members exchanged stamps with each other, which enabled them to make their individual collections more com- plete. The Club subscribed to a Stamp magazine to help them to determine the value of certain stamps. The money received from dues was used to buy stamps to be given as prizes for the educational games played at the meetings. A committee sent for first day issues of stamps. The Club maintained exhibits in room 238 and in the lobby showcases. An exhibit was also displayed at the Hobby Show at the I. M. A. Auditorium. Two dinner parties were en- joyed by the members. 28 Cheer Leaders Work Hard at Games THE CHEERLEADERS, who were sponsored by Mr. Carroll Clark, led loyal Central Indians in the organized cheering throughout the sport seasons. Beginning with the first football game in the fall, the boys were on hand at every home football and basketball game. They also partici- pated in the pep meetings held in the auditor- ium and in the hollow behind Whittier. CHEERLEADERS—Front Row: Cornelius Neal, Louis Wil- son, Bruce Pollock, captain.

Jean Mac Donald was elected president; Donna Roland, vice-president; and Bernie Frechette, secretary- treasurer. Plans were made for a weiner roast which was held at MacDonald's cottage at Lobdell Lake on Thursday, October 5, 1939. At that meeting it was decided that the F Club girls would take care of the candy stands at all the ball games and school parties. The best meeting of the year was a joint party with the boys who were letter winners. They danced, played ping pong, badminton, and had refreshments. The club this year consists of 40 members. Every Friday the girls wear their letters. 29 FORUM—Front Row: Betty Lefler, Sophie Shweiry, Cynthia Earl, Barbara lean White, Homer Dowdy, Ilah Smith; Row 2: Laura Jean Bullard, Ruth Siegel, Betty Salter, Carolyn Kraycar, Mary Ellen Lott, Virginia Bachmann, Mary Atkins; Back Row: Angehne Vojdik, Shirley Dean.

Forum, Thalians Requirements Strict THE FORUM, consisting of students who take an interest in social and political science, was organized in 1940 under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Hodges. The officers were: president, Homer E. Dowdy; vice-president, Barbara Jean White; recording secretary, Laura Jean Bullard, and corresponding secretary, Sophie Shweiry. One of the most outstanding meetings was a joint one with Northern. The topic was Hous- ing. Another meeting featured four Republican and Democratic leaders of the community in a panel discussion. The club visited a Flint City Commission meeting, but the principal meetings were discussions by the members and addresses by outside speakers on the European situation, American politics, democracy, patriotism and other topics of current interest. A trip was planned to visit the Detroit Housing Project and Greenfield Village in the Spring. THE THALIAN Honorary Literary Society, dur- ing 1939-40, studied various phases of modern life connected with literature. The group study- ing modern books was lead by Virginia Ander- son; the radio group, Pat Dowding; the drama group, Muriel Ellis; and movies and journalism, Janiece Wills and Shirley Dean. The important meeting of the year was the Open Door held May 14, at which pledges for the year 1940-41 were formally initiated, and the year's activities were reviewed. Parents and English teachers were invited as guests. The Thalians started their twenty-first year with the revision and republication of their con- stitution. Elizabeth Heystek ably led the club as president; Cynthia Earl, vice-president; Mary Nakamura, recording secretary; Shirley Dean, corresponding secretary; and Donna Rolland, treasurer.

Girls’ Service Group Awards Rings THE Y-GIRLS of Central High School, under the sponsorship of Miss Anne Goss, met on alter- nating Tuesdays in room 208 of the Y. W. C. A. building. Carolyn Kraycar was president. The meetings were held on the basis of an afternoon meeting on one Tuesday and an evening meeting at the next gathering. A variety of activities took them through Me Donald Dairy and on several hikes and out- ings. A tea was given for their mothers and the girls also made candy at one of their meetings. The group consists of about twenty to twenty- five members. Pins are awarded to girls who have an active membership standing of one year and rings are awarded to members who have a two year record.

S. Bishop's residence at 515 East Street. Miss Vir- ginia Harwood was the sponsor and Virginia Lockhart was president. Doris Sawhill was elected secretary and Barbara Mate acted as treasurer. The purpose of the club was to set higher ideals for American girlhood, and to come into a better understanding of nature. Every spring and fall the girls went camping at Camp O' Fair Winds. The dues were ten cents a month. These dues were used to defray any expenses of parties or handicraft work that happened to come up. 31 The Fifth Annual Jamboree Draws Qay Crowd THE FIFTH annual Jamboree, one of Central's most outstanding events, was presented to a gay crowd with a number of entertaining acts. The program began with a basketball game between Central's faculty and Hook's cham- pionship team. The former lost to its challengers amid the laughter of the crowd due to the com- ical actions of the faculty. The final score was 29-9 despite the frustrated efforts of our teach- ers. The Boys' Tumbling Team of Dearborn, under Mr. Russel Peterson presented an ingenious and intriguing display of the art of tumbling. The act was climaxed by a dazzling display of leap-frogging by the entire group. “Scrap Iron Kaczynski and Junior Wright were the participants in a humorous and inter- esting wrestling match. Because Mr. Auer, the referee, termed the match a draw, the boys tore of! his shirt. Few will forget the old fashioned square dance. The faculty volunteers, garbed in fan- tastic costumes, performed most handsomely. Beth Cull, a talented Central student, charmed the audience with her superior tap dancing. Two of the “F Club girls tapped in the absence of the professional roller skating act. The finer points of roller skating were dem- onstrated by six members of our teaching staff. Mr. Clark and Mr. Smith quite easily displayed what not to do on skates. This act literally brought down the house. Enthusiasm ran high when the door prizes, donated by Flint Merchants, were given those 32 who held the lucky numbers at the drawing. In- cluded in these prizes were: a jacket, skiis, ski poles, a toboggan, a wrist watch, silk hose, and many others. Gtroet Drosses Sport and Aiternoon Woar The Style Show The Style Show was presented on April 25 by the Home Economics Department. The an- nual spring show was under the direction of Miss Edna Carr, Miss Edna Allen, Miss Dorothy Stone, Miss Hazel Hoyt, and Mrs. Louella Harris. Girls in the beginning clothing classes mod- eled cottons, while the girls in the advanced classes modeled woolen suits, coats, and silk dresses which they made themselves. Evening Form Summer Form Announcing the Styles Boys in the Home Economics Classes pre- sented their version of good grooming and demonstrated the advantages of taking the course. A fitting musical background for the show was furnished by the music department. Stud- ents participating in the group were Mike Csvercsko, William Shweiry, June Farmer, Viv- ian Kline, Marie Skaff, and Vernal O. Morning- star. Woolens Chief of the Indian Braves, Indian Princess Elected DICK DINNING, the 1940 Senior Class President, was elected the most representative boy at Central in the 1940 Indian Brave contest. Dick was born in Flint on October 29, 1922—just seventeen years before. He began his educa- tion at Lincoln School, and later moved to Whittier where he was elected school president. Upon coming to Central, he became a repre- sentative on the Sophomore Board of Directors and the next year continued on the Junior Board of Directors. As a Senior, he became president of his class. Dick likes his sports. He was on the Reserve Basketball Squad and a better than average tennis player; he was also the student manager of the Senior play. When it came to books, Dick preferred those which dealt with current prob- lems and topics. During the previous two sum- mers, he worked at the Mott Camp, and the two years preceding that, he worked at a Boy Scouts Camp. Dick was 6 feet tall, weighed 145 pounds, and has one sister. He hoped to go to the University of Michigan next year, and after graduation he wished to become either a minister or a social worker. VIRGINIA BROOKS came forward as the win- ner in the Indian Princess contest. Virginia, a first half senior, had the lead in the 1940 spring opera, The Firefly. She sang in the A Cappella Choir and was a member of several of the outstanding clubs. She was born in Herrin, Illinois on September 28, 1922, and moved to Flint five years later. Her hobby seemed to be schools for she had at- tended five of them; Durant, Zimmerman, Doyle, Whittier, and Central. Her residence was at 748 Elizabeth Street. She has five brothers and two sisters who help her enjoy life. Virginia was 5 feet, 1 inch tall and weighed 115 pounds. Her hair — light brown when washed, Virginia claims. Her eyes, which match her hair, are also brown. Biographies were the books which she select- ed most often for her leisure hours. She had lived in Flint for twelve years, hoped to attend Flint Junior College in 1941-42. THE CONTEST for Brave and Princess in 1940 was the most closely contested one in the history of Central High School. The Court of Honor was composed of Dorothy Caister and Morrie Bikoff, Barbara Gault and Paul Kupper, Mary Ellen Ward and Bob Hunkins, Ethel Collins and Leon Decaire, Nancy Arnold and Don Streat, Doris Barr and Bud Gilett, Pat Bliss and Paul Riley, and Mary Hemingway and Gregor Notman. The election was run off on two days, with the nominating election on Friday, April 5 and the finals on Tuesday, April 9. 34 The P A System Carries the Message to the Voters Election Banners Go Up Everywhere lean Harvey The Student Ethel Collins Don St real Body Officers Pat Garvey Above—All the Details of a Regular Election Below—Electioneering at the Party Checking the Voters' Eligibility bove—Helping ‘ Hun with Leap Year Party His Coat— Industrial Arts Open House—Machine Shop Above—Open House—Architectural Draw- ing.

The one loss was costly, however, for the Indians lost the city, valley, and mythical state titles to Flint Northern. Northern also retired the third Wildanger trophy for which the two teams compete annually. Lerov Melzow Guard Cash Johnson Tackle Leonard Wright Center Auldin Nelson Halfback John Johnson Tackle Alex Fredericks End Record Impressive Central played only two games on Dort Field in 1939, and both of these were intersectional. Four of the eight games were played out of town while two were fought at Atwood Stad- ium. At every game Central was well repre- sented by a student body and cheerleaders while the marching band missed only the Pon- tiac game. The latter group did a splendid job throughout the season. Coach Auer came to Central from Owosso where he had coached some fine teams. In the early 1930's he played on the University of Michigan eleven as a linesman. Very popular with the boys, he did a splendid job. He was ably assisted by coaches Jerry Udell and Jimmy Richards; trainer Stan Broome; and reserve coach Celestine Van Dalen. As many players were used in each game, twenty boys received letters, six of which were first year awards, thirteen were second year awards, while one was a third year letter award. Harold Kaczynski was elected honorary captain for the year. The letter winners were as follows: First year awards: Clinton Bostwick, end; Alex Fredericks, end; Ray Goodes, end; Bill Vitany, end; Chuck Mullin, quarterback; and John Thompson, halfback. Second year awards were won by Ed Leach, guard; Leroy Melzow, guard; Harrison Hall, guard; Leonard Wright, center; Tom Dickie, center; Cash Johnson, tackle; Harley Krapohl, end; Bob Harvey, quarterback; Joe Suhayda, halfback; Francis Nitzschke, half- back; Auldin Nelson, halfback; Bud Meade, halfback; and Harold Kaczynski, fullback. One third year award went to John Johnson, tackle. September 30 CENTRAL—25 DEARBORN—0 A powerful Indian team opened the season in fine style against a weak Dearborn eleven. Scoring 19 points in the first quarter. Central covered up her offense and put in her second team. Even the second team looked impressive getting 6 points in the last quarter. October 14 CENTRAL—20 HOLLAND—0 Piling up a 20 point lead in the first half. Cen- tral defeated a stubborn Holland Team. The Indian's second team saw much action and Central again tucked her real power away after James J. Richards, B.S. End Coach the first two periods. Harold Kaczynski, Joe Suhayda and Francis Nitzschke made a touch- down each. October 21 CENTRAL—13 SAGINAW—7 Central invaded Saginaw, meeting an under- rated Saginaw eleven. Central scored first when Bob Harvey intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown, but Saginaw blocked a Central punt and carried it over our goal line. They kicked the extra point and led Central 7-6. In the last 90 seconds of the game Kaczynski threw a pass to Nitzschke who went over for the win- ning touchdown. No lack of action here — Every man in on the play October 28 November 11 CENTRAL—6 BAY CITY—0 Playing in bitter cold Central produced one scoring thrust in the second quarter. Bay City offered much opposition and threatened to score more than once. Central also passed up C. T. Van Dalen, B.S. Reserve Coach other scoring opportunities but 6 points were all that were needed. Central appeared much im- proved over the previous game. November 4 CENTRAL—7 ARTHUR HILL—0 Central and Arthur Hill met in Atwood stad- ium for an all important game. Central out- played Arthur Hill, but got only one touchdown, which came in the second half. Scrapiron Kaczynski again furnished most of the power This was considered the game Central had to win, and the result was entirely satisfactory. CENTRAL—26 PONTIAC—6 Going to Pontiac highly favored but taking no chances of an upset, the Indians turned on the steam and, playing a more open game, swamped the Orange and Black 26-6. Central's passing attack looked good, but it was Kaczyn- ski again who made two of the four touch- downs. Nitzschke and Thompson made the other two markers. November 17 CENTRAL—20 OWOSSO—0 Originally scheduled for Dort field, the game was played under the lights at Owcsso. Owosso held for the first half, but gave way under Cen- tral's powerful attack in the last two periods. Central made three touchdowns, the last com- ing in before the gun went off. Penalties kept Central from getting more points, but they well prepared for Northern. November 23 CENTRAL—6 NORTHERN—14 Both Northern and Central entered the annual Thanksgiving day game undefeated and un- tied, and a tremendous crowd saw Northern emerge the victor over a fighting Central eleven. Central scored first in the second quar- ter on a brilliant run by Francis Nitzschke from his own 32 yard line. Central led at the half 6-0. A rejuvenated Northern team came back in the second half and scored two quick stun- ning touchdowns, to take the lead away from Central. Both Northern's touchdowns were on passes. The third Wildanger trophy was retired by Northern, and Central's dream of an unde- feated season went with it.

Cage Squad Reaches State Semi-Finals THE INDIANS' basketball record this year was not too impressive until the post-season aames. While they finished in third place in the Valley, they lost the city title in two straight games. At times they looked like champions. The season was certainly not the fault of Coach Dick Evans, who completed his second season as the Indian mentor. Mr. Evans did a good job with the material at hand and deserved much credit. An infection in Morrie Bikoff's finger which slowed him down during part of the season, and the mid-season graduation of Bob Harvey were contributing factors to the poor season. Eleven boys earned Varsity letters this season. First awards were given to Walt Garret, Gregor Notmann, Charles Hook, Bill Johnson, Curtis Coolman, Jim Donahue, and Bob Bran- don. Second letters were received by Morrie Bikoff and Paul Kupper. Two third year awards were given to Bob Harvey and Bob Hunkins. Resume of Basketball Season December 19 CENTRAL—26 ANN ARBOR—25 Central began the season by winning a hard fought game at Ann-Arbor by one point. They looked good but had to fight hard to win against a weaker team. January 2 CENTRAL—38 OWOSSO—28 The Indians made it two straight by beating the Trojans on the latter's home court by ten points. Little could be judged from this game because Owosso was not considered in the running. Kupper led the scoring column with 12 points. Arthur “Dick Evans, B S. Head Coach 44 Northern's Defensive Play Held the Indian Scoring Down weak against a fast and sure Indian squad. Bill Johnson, center, showed up well and Paul Kupper led the scoring with 14 points. February 2 CENTRAL—24 ARTHUR HILL—21 Meeting the Lumberjacks for the second time, Central won a low-scoring game from the Sag- inaw team on the latter's home court. Bill John- son took Paul Kupper's place in the scoring column, accounting for 13 points. January 5 CENTRAL—29 ARTHUR HILL—31 Bitter disappointment met Central's quintet when they lost a nerve racking game in the closing minute to a scrappy Arthur Hill five. Edward Haar rode high before Central's fans and put the game on ice for the Lumberjacks. February 6 CENTRAL-25 PONTIAC—43 The Chiefs ended Central's three game win- ning streak at Whittier gym. The last quarter decided the game as Pontiac with Seay pitch- ing them in moved away to a large lead and again won with ease. Morrie Bikoff finally showed up to his 1939 form for the Indians. January 9 CENTRAL—24 FLINT NORTHERN—30 Keeping up with the Vikings in the first half, the Indians appeared to have a chance to draw first blood in the city series, but the Northern five pulled rapidly out in front in the third quarter and stayed there until the end. January 16 CENTRAL—34 PONTIAC—50 Although the Indian five made enough points to win most games, the highly-touted chiefs made 16 more than the Central quintet and won with ease. Seay and Clark made 15 and 14 points respectively for Pontiac which was the big factor in winning. January 19 CENTRAL—41 BAY CITY—37 The Wolves from the North invaded Central, but went home without victory. Central, after having lost three straight games, got back in the win column by emerging victorious in a well-played game. Kupper made 17 points to lead the attack. January 23 CENTRAL—40 SAGINAW—29 Central won an easy game, played on their home court in Whittier gym. Saginaw looked February 13 CENTRAL—12 NORTHERN—34 Central fans watched a powerful Viking squad stop Central dead, while making points at their leisure. From the end of the first quarter until nearly the end of the third the Indians netted no points. Northern showed fine team- work in winning the second game and City Championship. The Indians Get the Ball on the Rebound— at the State Semi-Finals February 16 CENTRAL—32 BAY CITY—38 Stunned by their defeat at the hands of Northern, Central lost their first game to Bay City in seven years. Playing in Bay City, the Wolves played hard and overcame the brilliant play of Bill Johnson and Paul Kupper. February 23 CENTRAL—43 OWOSSO—21 The Indians pulled out of a slump by beating the last-place Owosso team at Whittier by the largest score so far in the season. Central showed good teamwork and played well de- fensively. February 28 CENTRAL—48 SAGINAW—43 Central ended the regular season with an impressive victory over Saginaw at Saginaw. They topped their previous high score although their defense was rather weak. The Indians finished in a tie for third place in the Saginaw Valley with a .500 average, winning six and losing six. Regionals and State In view of Central's record in the regular season, little was expected of them in the post- season games. However, they upset the dope by driving through to the State semifinals. They took the regional crown by conquering Arthur Hill 28-19, on March 7, and Bay City 41-28, on March 8 at Saginaw. In both games they looked better than they had all season. The finals were held at Lansing where the Indians met Pontiac on March 14. By outscoring the Chiefs in the last quarter 10-3, they won by the narrow margin of 31-28. This was the biggest upset, for the Pontiac team had beaten Central with ease in the regular season. lames Richards. B S Reserve Coach The Tribe then met Flint Northern at the Michigan State Field House in Lansing on March 15 ,in what was conceded to be the real battle for the State Championship. Northern built up a 19-8 lead in the first half and then coasted for the Indians outscored the Vikings in the second half 15-9. Northern's careful play kept them out in front and they won 28-23. Northern went on the next night to defeat Fordson for the state champion- ship. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL SQUAD—From Row: Shy Leavitt. Elmer Kramer. Billy Ruth. Jerry Udell Bob McGuflin.

Indian Nine Expects Good Season EARLY predictions favored Central's baseball team. Many veterans returned from the 1939 squad to put the Indian nine wellin the running. Positions were hotly contested. A surplus of catchers listed five possibilities: Don Lamb, lames Cuthbertson, Dan Sullivan, John Trom- bley, and Frank Glay. On the mound, three Varsity men from the 1939 team and three re- serves fought for the starting assignments. These were Francis Nitzschke, Alex Clark, Ly- man Bentley, Charles Miller, J. C. Ross, and Jack Stallings. The first base job was divided be- tween Clinton Weaver and Bob Baird. The key- stone sack attracted Irwin Saultman and Clyde Clement. Don Hilden expected to be the regular shortstop, although Lome Cryderman and Philip Tenerilli alternated in this position. At third base, J. C. Nolan was given a battle for the regular job by Don Shaw. Only three ex- perienced men turned out for the outfield, but more were expected to show enough ability by the' time the playing season rolled around. Two varsity outfielders from 1939 were Bob Hunkins and Morrie Bikoff, while Bill Snyder was the third member of the trio. Coach Stan Broome, anxious to test his squad, was delayed by bad weather in the middle of April. 1940 SCHEDULE April 27—Bay City (here) May 14—Pontiac (here) April 30—Arthur Hill (here) May 18—Pt.

Harriers Capture Second State Title THE CROSS COUNTRY team outclassed the field over the Michigan State Normal course at Ypsilanti to carry off its second state cross- country championship in three years. Capturing second, fifth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and nineteenth places, the Indians had a 37-point total, the second lowest in the history of the meet, to finish 92 points out in front of Flint Northern, which came in second in team scoring. Meeting Flint Northern in the first run, the Indians won by the perfect score of 15-48. The next meet was with Royal Oak which Central took with ease by a score of 16-50. Saginaw was the third victim when again Central had a per- fect score. The regionals were held at Dearborn, and the Central Harriers had no trouble taking first place by a lead of 52 points over their nearest rival. There was little doubt as to the superiority of our cross-country team of 1939-40. To Coach John Seaton, who year after year has turned out excellent cross-country teams, went a great deal of credit. Cross-country is a very hard sport on both coaches and boys and it receives less recognition than it should, al- though the squad turn-out is one of the largest of the athletic department. John Seaton, B.S. Head Coach ThimClads Look to State Championship FROM all appearances, Central expected to make excellent showings in track meets in the 1940 season. Many veterans and several prom- ising juniors and sophomores made up the squad. Not one event lacked a veteran and there was much indecision as to the Varsity starters. In the distance running there were Frank Pritchard, Joe Scukanec, and Jack Chap- lain to run the mile, while Rutillio Enzastiga, Dick Youngs, Steve LaPort and Jimmy McCran- dall ran the quarter or half mile. In the sprinting there were John Thompson, David Gray, and Warren Todd to run the 100-yard dash. The same three ran the 220. The hurdles found Auldin Nelson and foe Nichols on the low hurdles, while Don Wilbur and Nelson com- peted in the high hurdles. Don Wilbur was the only veteran high jumper, although Dick Her- furth and Joe Dahlstrom were veteran pole vaulters. In the other two events, two very cap- able seniors were the leading men. Clinton Bostwick held down the broadjump, and Dan Suciu put the shot for Central. Coaches Francis Smith and John Seaton seemed quite optimistic, and looked forward to a successful campaign.

They had only one outside practice in the early spring. Four seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore composed the squad. The seniors were Dennis Lumley, George Burgess, Bob Napper, and Arnold Meredith; the juniors were Harold Meredith, Don Sark, George Hunter. Charles Droste was the only sophomore. On paper the team looked strong, and Mr. Clement Rowe, varsity tennis coach, expected a good season. TENNIS SCHEDULE SWIMMING, a recently revived sport at Cen- tral, had been discontinued in 1930. In 1939, because the Mott Foundation opened Central's pool, it was begun again as a competitive school sport. The 1938-39 team under Coach John Millholland did a good job for its first year, although it lost all its meets to schools who had experienced squads. In 1939-40, the Indian swimmers and divers made better showings in each of their meets, but did not win. By 1940-41 the squad was expected to be built up to where it belonged.

Mr. Sulho Nurmi, the golf coach, always turned out reputable teams. As consis- tent practice and a certain degree of natural skill are required to play golf, the Indian golfers were out for practice nearly every night at Acacia golf coursg for a great deal of unher- alded work. The Captain of the 1940 team was Keith Smith who was a pretty fair golfer. Others on the squad included Shirley Welsh, Larry Davis, Lyle Arehart, R. B. Stipes, Fred Jackson, and Gene Newland. Many promising sopho- mores were yet to prove their ability.

Intramural Program Arranged Throughout the entire school year, intramural activities, under the leadership of Napoleon LaVoie, furnished sport for hundreds of stud- ents. Among the games offered were softball, tennis, golf, volleyball, croquet, horseshoes, badminton, basketball, shuffleboard, archery and ping pong. When school started in the fall, tennis and golf tournaments were held. The golf tourna- ment was directed by Sulho Nurmi, while the tennis tournament was guided by Clem Rowe and Jack Howe. Bob Carr was the winner of the tennis tournament and the golf tournament was not finished because of the oncoming win- ter weather. Hook's basketball squad dominated the bas- ketball league. This team ran a string of vic- tories to 54 without suffering a defeat. The team was captained by Bill Hooks, cross- country and track star. Other players on the squad were Don Watson, a member of the golf team; Bob Crafton, in the City Church League; Clyde Clement, a shortstop on the baseball squad; Don Wilbur, hurdler and high-jumper on the track team; Gene Newland, a varsity golfer; and Spencer Carpenter, a football manager. Other teams that attained at least a 500 per- centage to enter the playoffs were Spears, Stinchcomb, Hill, Glay, Star Theatre, Ball, Har- ris, Fredricks, Otterman, Vogelsburg, and Tal- bert. The Intramural All-Star Team had on its By LaVoie Draws Many Boys roster, four of Hooks' team, Watson, Wilbur, Crafton, and Hooks, and Lloyd Maidment of the Glay squad. There were over twenty teams entered in several different leagues. One night in each week was reserved for sophomore, junior, and senior teams respectively, while inter-class leagues played Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. Those interested in badminton formed a club and played that sport among themselves, as did the archers later on in the spring time. The girls enjoyed volleyball in the gym after school and many students participated in the minor sports such as shuffleboard, croquet and horseshoes. Several teams entered the Bowling League. The boys used the alleys in the basement of the Administration on Wednesday nights. Softball probably had the most followers of all the intramural sports. There were two leagues, playing at the fourth and fifth hours. The champion team of each league met for the final championship play-off. Central is indeed fortunate in having such a broad and extensive intramural program. Those who cannot enter into competitive sports be- cause of lack of time or inability to make the varsity team have the opportunity to have fun in joining with others in healthful recreation. Sophomore Basketball Physical Education for Girls Offers Well Balanced Program At Central a girl's life is greatly influenced by the Physical Education Department. Gymna- sium is one of the few subjects required of a girl for graduation. Three years credit is nec- essary for all except those taking debating or music courses and those whose health will not permit strenuous work. Miss Mildred Bunce and Miss Louise Wil- liams, who is also in charge of the swimming classes, exercise the authority in this depart- ment. A special modified gym class is provided for the students who can not participate in active gymnasium work. Bowling, swimming, archery, ping pong, and board games are of- fered in this class. The regular gym classes fill a girl's time with exercises, swimming, folk dancing, volleyball, and the Mott Pentathalon. The Pentathalon for girls in junior and senior high schools is spon- sored by the Mott Foundation. Medals are awarded to those showing special ability in athletics. A majority of the girls appear to be most in- terested in the extra curricular sports program presented by the Physical Education Depart- ment. Five major and ten minor sports are of- fered throughout the year. The gym department in cooperation with the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion, an organization composed of girls with at least fifty points toward their letter, decide the requirements for the F . They also elect the girls who are to manage the sports for the coming year. The requirements for letters in- clude: five hundred points, for a first letter; seven hundred and fifty points, for a second letter; one thousand points, for a third letter, and one thousand three hundred and fifty points, for a fourth letter. The fourth letter is available only to those girls having a “B average, senior life saving certificate, personality, and leadership ability. Senior Hockey Junior Basketball In addition to a C average. Student Union membership is required for the other three. Points are given in gym class to squad lead- ers, class secretary, and class captain. One hundred is given for Junior Lifesaving; and an additional one hundred for the Senior Certifi- cate. A maximum of twenty-five points per semester can be obtained in minor sports. Major sports, however, award seventy-five points to second team, and one hundred points to first team members. Recently a minor sports letter was established for girls physically unable to meet the require- ments for the major letters. Five hundred points are necessary to obtain this old English F . HOCKEY The annual Hockey banquet brought to a close the activities of the first major sport of the year. The banquet, presided over by Mary Hemingway, hockey manager, and Doris Barr, president of the Girls' Athletic Association, was a great success. At this time Miss Mildred Bunce awarded twelve first letters, five second letters, and five third letters. Special mention was given to the winning teams: the Senior Red, first team, comprised of Captain Donna Rolland, center forward; right inside, Eleanor Garthwaite; right wing. Ruby Turner; left inside, Mary Ellen Ward; left wing, Elizabeth Stell; center half, Virginia Groom; right half, Mary Hemingway; left half, Berna- dine Frechette; right full, Vida Bailey; left full, Vesta Cove; goal, Helen Pettit; Virgie Tucker, substitute; and,— The Sophomore Green, second team com- prised of Yvonne Anderson, Martha Bowden, Mildred Clark, Margery Guilfoil, Jean Hagga- done, Anita Kribs, Dorothy Krieger, Mary Lane, Roberta Lipske, Betty Martin, Eleanor Meisner, Louise Newland, and Yvonne Tondur. These teams were selected in an intra-mural play-off between classes. Each class has its own first and second teams. Lifesaving Sophomore Baseball BASKETBALL Winter and basketball have come and gone leaving many pleasant memories. Basketball was managed this year by Rhea MacIntyre. Four senior, four junior, and nine sophomore teams entered the competition. In the annual clash between Northern and Central, our sen- iors and sophomores emerged victorious, while the juniors lost by only one point. The season ended in a combined Northern- Central basketball banquet, at which Miss Bunce awarded fifteen first letters, six second letters, and three third letters. At this time tro- phies were awarded to the captains of the winning teams. The Senior Red Team composed of Captain Betty Bush, Doris Barr, Vesta Cove, Marjorie Edwards, Bernadine Frechette, Mary Heming- way, Dorothy Hook, Irene Petroff, Donna Rol- land. Beverly Thomas, and Ruby Turner won in the first division. The Junior Ohio team composed of Captain Ethel Collins, Betty Bates, Barbara Harris, Jackie Kramer, Phyllis MacDonald, Janet Mun- son, Joanne Powers, Doris Marie Richards, Betty Ruhstorfer, and Betty Shayman won in the sec- ond division. BASEBALL Because the senior activities are so numerous during baseball season, it was decided this year that the baseball manager should be a junior. Under the leadership of Phyllis Mac Donald the sophomores, juniors, and a few seniors had a successful season. Betty Matthews Golf Manager Fencing Junior Baseball LIFE SAVING Under the direction of Mrs. Kathryn Jarvis, a large group of girls worked on the requirements for their lifesaving emblems. Since the re- quirements have been raised this year the class is smaller. Fourteen girls took a test on April 22, after a long strenuous period of work. Miss Louise Williams and Miss Charlotte Talbot were the examiners. The final test was given to the girls a week later on April 29. MARATHON Senior Basketball The marathon, a new major sport last year, was continued this year with the same rules. This year the girls used a chart of the Flint River showing its course from Flint to Davison. Each afternoon alter they had finished their swimming for the day, they marked their pro- gress on the chart. It is a true test of endurance. After the first fifty lengths, no less than ten will be counted per hour. One hundred points are awarded to those who win, but those who do not finish re- ceive none. SWIMMERS' CLUB Since the pool was reopened last year after being closed for ten years, many water sports have been introduced. The Swimmers' Club was a new organization this year, sponsored by Miss Louise Williams and Miss Charlotte Talbot, and with Betty Letts as president. Open to all girls who wished to pass the Red Cross Swimmers’ Test, and who were striv- ing to get more enjoyment from the water, the club had good attendance. The members spon- sored a Northern-Central water festival. Swimmers' Club Louise Williams B.A., M.A. Physical Education EQUESTRIENNES—Front Row: Geraldine Foulds, Rose Press.

During the first semester a doubles peg-board tournament was run off and during the second semester a singles elimination tournament. Points were awarded on attendance at practice and percentage of games won. FENCING During the last year or two a number of the minor sports have gone co-educational; fencing was one of the first. Miss Talbot, a new member of the physical education department, with the aid of Muriel Ellis, manager, instructed about eighteen members. ARCHERY Under the leadership and instruction of Mr. James Richards of the Whittier faculty, and Betty Stahl, manager, the Archery Club had a good season. This sport was also co-education- al, and the participants received points accord- ing to their attendance. Doris Barr, Betty Bush, Eleanor Garjhwaite, G. A.

EQUESTRIENNES The Equestriennes, sponsored by Miss Mil- dred Hodges and Mrs. Nellie Armstrong, elected Polly Stone, president and Pat Dowding, secre- tary-treasurer. In addition to riding twice a week, weather permitting, the club held an out- door supper at the Flint Polo Club. Five points an hour may be applied toward a letter. TENNIS About thirty-five advanced and beginning tennis players turned out and were instructed by Mr. Robert Richardson. Elementary strokes and rules of the game were taught to the be- ginners, and the advanced players held a bracket tournament during the Spring weeks. GOLF Points were awarded on a time basis to those girls reporting for golf. Practices were held in the girls' gym, and the Swartz Creek Course proved to be the most popular place for play- offs. Mrs. Don Weiss, State Women's Champion, gave several nights' instruction. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Bessie Hemingway. Volleyball Modified Gym Golf Club GIRLS' GOLF CLUB—S. Jame- son, B.

Monroe Hawley. Virginia Temple. FORENSIC activities of the year were under the direction of Harold H. Hawley, the head of the department, assisted by Maude S. Beagle, Helen Hardy Brown, and Bernice W. Watson. Competition was staged in school, local, sub- district, and district contests. In Declamation, in which a famous speech is memorized by the contestant, the entrants were Robert Woody, Betty Cower, Maxine McKay, Margaret Stevens, Joan James, Beverly Clark, Dorothy Bachman, and Cathaline Koljoner. Of these, Robert Woody, Joan James and Margaret Stevens were chosen to meet Northern, with the first two winning a place in the sub-district contest. Oratory contestants were Larry Johns, Mon- roe Hawley, Virginia Temple, and Warren Coles. Central won the meet with Northern; Virginia Temple and Monroe Hawley going to the sub-district meeting. Extempore, which is considered by many the hardest form of the three forensic forms, again had for its general topic Current Events. Those who participated were required to under- stand thoroughly the events of the changing world, and to present it in an intelligent and interesting manner. Angeline Vojdik, Warren Gilbertson, Connie Benson, Larry Johns, Jack Wright and Francis Whaley entered this diffi- cult phase of speaking. Gilbertson, Vojdik, and Whaley represented the Indians in the Central- Northern meet. Entirely independent of its sister, debating, Forensics has for its purpose to develop public speaking abilities of students, and does this by having them train and then compete with other schools. Central was fortunate in 1940 to have Warren Gilbertson and Virginia Temple. In 1939 Warren Gilbertson had placed second in the district contest of extempore speech, and Virginia Temple ranked high in the oratory contests. As declamation includes only sopho- mores, many of the school's best speakers were unable to participate. This loss, however, was offset by the fact that Mrs. Watson developed many of the sophomores at Whittier who made a creditable showing.

DEBATE—Beginning at the left: Lawrence Johns, Virginia Temple, Monroe Hawley. Ruth Stingle, Francis Whaley, Mr Harold E. Hawley, Angeline Vojdik. THE DEBATE team entered the Elimination series for the 4th consecutive year. Upholding both sides of the question, Resolved: that the Federal government should own and operate the railroads. Starting in traditional Indian fashion, Central emerged victorious from most of the practice tournaments held at the beginning of the season. The rounds, which were held at River Rouge, Albion, Alma, Ann Arbor, Ionia, Jack- son, and Lansing, the young debaters rapidly acquired skill and knowledge of the art that made them one of the strong teams competing for the State championship. Entering the Elimination Series by virtue of having won three of the four Preliminary de- bates, and finishing second in the Valley League race. Central again proved a formid- able opponent. All of the previous year's State Champion- ship debaters had been lost by graduation, so that the group of debaters were quite inexper- ienced. Coach Harold E. Hawley developed the squad in the short preparatory period so that Pontiac and Ann Arbor, the first two opponents in the Preliminary Series, were easily defeated. Lansing Eastern tripped the squad up, while in the next one, Centerline fell easy prey to the Indians. A new system was inaugurated in the Elimin- ation Series, involving tournaments to decide regional champions, who would be eliminated until the Finals. Central went to the tournament and captured the trophy after avenging their defeat at the hands of strong Lansing Eastern, and winning over Ann Arbor again. This advanced Central to the quarter-finals to be pitted against Northern. Virginia Temple, Lawrence Johns, and Monroe Hawley did a fine job in this debate, but two of the three judges voted for the Viking squad. In spite of finishing second in the Valley League standing. Central established a new record of victories in the circuit. At the Saginaw round the Indians made a perfect record, which no other school had done in the whole history of the League. The purpose of debating this year, as of all years, was to provide an opportunity to train students in public speaking. As twenty-one debaters participated in a total of well over hundred debates, this purpose was satisfac- torily carried out. Six pupils were used in the more important debates. They were Virginia Temple, Larry Johns, Mary Ruth Stingle, An- geline Vojdik, Monroe Hawley, and Francis Whaley. All of these were Juniors except Vir- ginia Temple who finished her last year of school here. She was on the State Champion- ship squad of last year, although she never par- ticipated in the more important debates. This year, however, she came into her own, and made herself indispensable to the team. 67 Music Department Selects THE MUSIC department presented Rudolf Friml's The Firefly in three acts on April 4, 5, and 6, 1940 for its annual opera. The plot revolves around Nina, an Italian street singer, and the guests aboard Mrs. Ogles- by Van Dare's yacht. While singing in the streets, Nina smiles at Jack Travers. Geraldine Van Dare and her fiance quarrel over the street singer until John Thurston, Jack's uncle appears and settles the argument. Nina finds that Suzette, Geraldine's maid, and Pietro, Thurston's valet, are going to Bermuda on the yacht. Nina longs to go with them and dis- guises herself as a boy in the clothes of Tony Columbo, a girl who dresses as a boy, while Suzette teases the confidential secretary, Jen- kins, to obtain her a place aboard the yacht. There seems no hope until Nina, or rather Tony captures the heart of Herr Franz, the choir master, with her voice. The second act finds Nina still masquerading as a boy and dressed in a Tommy Atkins suit. Tony, as she is called, is continually a bone of contention between Jack and Geraldine, and Geraldine turns to Thurston for sympathy. Thur ston falls in love with Geraldine and writes her a proposal.. Before he delivers it he reads it to Jack asking his permission. However, Jack mis- interprets the proposal to be for Mrs. Van Dare, who had confessed her love for Thurston to him. The proposal never is delivered for Nina's identity is disclosed. Herr Franz is broken- hearted to find that his little Tony, for whom he bought many boy's toys, is a girl, but Tack, who had confessed the fascination Nina held for him to Tony is happily surprised. However, she is mistaken for Tony Columbo, the pick pocket and all turn against her except Herr Franz. Three months later in New York, Mrs. Van Dare holds a concert at her home. She is to have the famous Madame Gianina sing. Mr. Thurston returns to find Geraldine and Jack about to marry and apparently very much in love. Then Herr Franz appears with Madame Gianina, who is really Nina. After the guests depart to dance, Suzette brings in Nina's Tom- my Atkins suit. When Jack comes in and sees her, he runs to meet her. Nina returns his pipe, which was in her suit and finds the proposal long-forgotten in her pocket. The letter is dropped when Mrs. Van Dare enters and finds Nina and Jack embracing. She reads the pro- posal which she thinks is hers, but Thurston explains that the letter was meant for Gerald- ine. Jack wins Nina, Thurston wins Geraldine and all ends happily. f-8 Friml’s “The Firefly” The cast included: Virginia Brooks as Nina; Jack Travers, Earl Kuhn and Bob Lutterbie; Ger- aldine Van Dare, Jean Becker and Sylvia Gan- tos; John Thurston, Robert Taylor; Herr Franz, Richard Bryant; Sybil Van Dare, Virginia Groom and Marie Skaif; Mrs. Van Dare, Betty Lou Barker and Helen Swearingen; Suzette, Mar- garet Coulter and Rosalie Matney; Pietro, Ralph Demaree and Robert Loomas; Jenkins, Cornelius Daniels and Bill Lundy.

Convention Nov. 11—Armistice Day Parade Nov. 29—Kaleidoscope April 15- Saginaw Valley Festival April 24—Annual Spring Concert May 15—Concert at Walker Lawn Social Franklvn S. Weddle. B.M., M.M. Director Choral Groups, Have had many activities. Mr. Bloch led them when they caroled for the school at Christmas and they also gave a concert at Whittier and sang at different churches. THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB was reorganized in September under the direction of Mr. Walter H. Bloch. The Glee Club had been discontinued in 1928. Before then it was directed by Jacob A. Evanson, who organized Central's A Cappella Choir, which was the first of its kind in United States high schools. Many more girls than boys wished to join the choir. Since there was no room for them, the Glee Club was reorganized after a period of twelve years. In one year the membership in- creased from thirty-five to sixty-five. The girls sang regular three and four part songs. Their accompanist was Virginia Sumney. In the Kaleidoscope they showed their ability and though scarcely a year old, the Glee Club THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR is one of the largest and most notable organizations in the school. Mr. Franklyn Weddle's capable instruction has done much to give it its present position. This year the Choir, in addition to its regular performances at various theaters, clubs, and churches, went to Pontiac and Hartland. It also gave its entire talent to the production of the annual spring operetta. They have made their appearance at: M.E.A. Convention, Rotary Club, Capitol Theater, Kaleidoscope, Salvation Army, Lincoln Park Church, Saginaw Valley Festival at Pontiac, Vesper Series at Hartland, Opera, Annual Band, Choir and Orchestra Concert, and Commencement. The Choir has been in- vited to sing at many of these places for many years, and so has continued to do so year after Extensive Activities. year. The members are not obliged, however, to make more appearances than they desire, for all members are given a chance to vote on whether or not they are to sing at any given place. This year the new Girls' Glee Club took over a church performance for the Choir while they were in the throes of the opera. £ rn i u To obtain a place in the Choir, one must be tried out by the director to see about range, quality of voice and correctness of ear. This is done at the beginning of each year, and occa- sionally between semesters.

The decade of the thirties had been a time of up- heavals, conflicts and strife. However, on the brighter side, many advances in science and education had been made. Looking back over the past year, one found an increase in prosperity. Unemployment was reduced and wages were increased to some extent. The Federal Government continued its program of public works. Several huge projects for the housing of slum-dwellers were started in many large cities. In ail, business picked up and especially the building trade. Across the waters, to the east and to the west, the outlook was not nearly so bright as in Amer- ica. The wars of the last decade were climaxed with the European War, which had the evi- dence of becoming another World War. The fuse was touched off after several cruc- ial incidents; September 1, 1939, when Hitler's troops marched into Poland. Great Britain de- clared war on Germany the next day. France followed suit six hours later. Again, like twenty- five years before, the two Allied powers had as their principal foe, Germany. While warfare on the Franco-German border was dormant, Fin- land was conquered by Russia, and Denmark and Norway were invaded by Germany. What precipitated these movements and their out- comes, only time will reveal. Again on the home front, the great decennial enumeration of the nation began April 1, 1940. Information gathered in this census was ex- pected to greatly aid the government. Early in the year the nation's attention was focused on politics. The Democrats prepared to make their nominee choice for President in Chi- cago, while the Republicans chose Philadelphia as their Convention City. A new milestone was passed in transporta- tion. The commercial airlines of the United States finished the year without a single serious accident. This was taken as a very good indi- cation that the traveling public would make more use of this comparatively new method of getting from one place to another and make it one of the principal means of transportation in future years. The youth of America had the privilege of thanking God for America, as a land of prom- ise and security. American youth had the re- sponsibility of making this country a land of freedom of thought and action, and the duty of keeping America The land of the free and the home of the brave. 106 John E.
