Central High School - Prospectus Yearbook (Flint, MI)

Of Central’s fifteen valley league debaters, only twelve can be used at one time. Students participating in two tournaments win letters or, if compet- ing the second year, keys. Since ten debaters are graduating, only five exper- ienced members will be available next season—the least experience Central has carried over in years. In the first tournament at Northern, Central won 5 debates and lost 3, tying for second place. At Arthur Hill, Central won 4 and lost 4 falling to third place. The third contest at Owosso brought 5 victories to 3 losses. Although Bay City won the championship, Central completed the season with 14 vic- tories and 10 losses and tied for second honors with Northern.

Laurence Johns and Monroe Haw- ley participated in all debates and were assisted by Dave Gault, Jack Wright, and Conrad Benson. Central reached the elimination series and was the proud winner of a beautiful wall plaque and trophy cup, pre- sented by the Detroit Free Press, for the fifth consecutive year. Our debaters also were hosts to the participants in an elimination tourna- ment on February 1. Reaching the quarter finals, Central bowed only to Detroit-Mackenzie High School, champions of the entire Detroit area, by a vote of two to one.

Thdlian Literdry Society The Thalian Honorary Literary Society during 1940-41 was divided into three groups dealing with the fine arts: literature, music and sculp- ture. Each group had charge of several meetings during the year. A basket to a needy family was a Thanksgiving project, while Christmas saw the girls spreading cheer into many lonely hearts by a program at the McFarlan Home for elderly ladies. The annual “Open Door,” re- viewing the year’s activities, was held in May. The officers presiding for the year were: president. Louinia Mae McKinley; vice president, Janet Munson: secretaries, Mary Shattuck and Barbara Harris; treasurer, Johanna Peukert. The Forum Club One of the most intensely interesting clubs in Central during 1940-41, was the Forum Club under the direction of Miss Mildred Hodges. The main project of Forum was to make a scientific and comprehensive study of Flint and its problems. Committees, appointed to plan the program of each meeting, made the arrangements concerning speakers, and there was scarcely a gathering at which there was not a prominent speaker. The officers, who fulfilled their duties admirably, were Marion For- rester, president; Beth Tillier and Lavonda Wallace, secretarys.

Arrow Head The 1940-41 Arrow Head made its initial ap- pearance the first day of school and was pub- lished fortnightly during the school year. The editor-in-chief, Francis Whaley, made several improvements in the general journalistic meth- ods used, and Alice Daniels, Business Mgr., did a fine job in bringing the paper out of a deficit caused by the preceding business staff. Activities of clubs, sports events, sketches of the lives of prominent students and teachers, cartoons, and all school news coverage were regular features of the sheet. The Arrow Head during the second semester published the Screech, an annual scandal sheet which was voted a huge success by a record sale.
