On the 25th of May anno domino 1927 and how. This glorious class, renowned throughout the universe of men, consisting of men, some women, and children fmostly children, to the half-witted undergraduates bequeath the following articles: l.-This magnificent, modern, towering structure Central High. 2.-All our trophies won honorably and uprighteously, 3.-Our well-beloved faculty who pushed us through four years of self-imposed anguish and mental agony. 4.-Miss Jo Anna Connell's mother-like guidance to the succeeding Junior Class. 5.-Our wonderfully equipped fresh water fountains. 6.-All our books, both good and bad, our smooth, polished, up-to-date desks or what have you. 7.-Miss Connell's precious copies of Lamb, Chaucer, Carlyle, and similar forms of torture bound in gilt gold to whomever she gets her hands on first. 8.-Our marveleous, machine-like monitor system to Polk institute. We being of unsound mind we did comprehend that if we did not sufficiently gripe the faculty, they would just as sufficiently gripe us, we did employ all our fiendish qualities to meet this noble end. Prominent among these fiendish actions rank the attitude of many of our sedate numbers inasmuch as they led one D, Pratt into long and involved discussions, avoiding the topic of the day. So in accordance with these above stated reasons the following members of this stately and learned body do protestingly bequeath to certain young andl irresponsible juniors, these ensuing properties, habits, deformities, vices and liabilities.

Frances French's extra weight to Virginia Leetg Connie Bayster's red hair to anyone with a temper to match: Mickey Berst leaves her spectacles to anyone in dire need of optical attentions: Helen Clicks excessive altitude to Peg Moyer and her typewriting championships to anyone good enough.

Robert Loeb protestingly gives his marks to Bertram Shaffner. Lyle lVlcKay's character to Oscar Klein. Spike Shum's Virgil translations to Arnie Simon. Ruth Armagost's oratorical prowess to Jeanette Albracht. Elinore Scarlett's beauty to someone worthy of it. Eleanor Heard's frankness to Betty Smart. Ruth l..acey's congenial spirit to Ann Nason Katherine Wilhelmina Doll's masculine qualities to Dot Hofft. Jane Fawcett's Roman nose to Esther Baldwin. Alice Sherman's hair to Charolette Umnitz.

Ruth A. Eismann Dear old Central, as ! go, I turn once more to say good-bye To your old halls, and vine-clad walls, And to your towers and turrets high. And oh my classmates-once again I bid a fond farwel! to ye: For some of you, while on this earth I never more shall see. And oh my teachers, one and all, Who labored hard and labored long, Your efforts were not all in vaini !'ve learned a little just the same. And when the years have rolled away, Andi I have passed from mortal strife: Perhaps my hopes will be fulfilled And we shall meet in that New Life. When I reach Heaven, I hope to meet Miss Connell strolling down the street, Strumming her harp, and warbling sweet Your English themes were very neat. Miss Bourquin on a cloudlet pink Will pass right by swinging her feet And wave her hand and cry, Bon jour! Won't you join me toute de suite? Miss l'!irt will come along just then And smile at me in her sweet way And say, !'m glad you've come at last, And how are you today?' Good gracious, I will say, Miss Bryce, Where did you get such lovely wings?' And she will laugh, and laughing say, Why dlo you say such si!-ly things? l'm a graduate of Shoe College. What's that? just a little higher than Oxford. The next person who interrupts the pro- ceedings will be sent home, said the judge Hurray! yelled the prisoner. Baxter: Give me a match, Bing. Binger: Here it is. Baxter: Well can you beat that? l've for- gotten my cigarettes. Binger: 'Stoo bad: gimme back the match.

And on our way, who should I see, fl'll tel! you if you will not tease her, No other than Miss Wi!kin's shade Talking to her dear friend, Caesar. Miss Schabacker stood in sarnite white, Upon that street of gold And, Hurrxy! she cried in accents clear just as in days of old, In the judges' box was Mr. Frail A starry light about him clung For service rendered while on earth- A present from the Ancient One. But oh, that race! It was a wonder! The cheering sounded just like thunder When Mr. Pratt of noble mien Dashed four long miles in one-fifteen. And then the heavenly basketball game! Oh how the fea-thers flew When Shanor called a foul on Wallace For tripping Mr. Hughes. l'l1 see a group of lusty cheerers A little way away And then my joy wil be complete Upon that happy day. And I will go and join them then And to their greeting say, !'m very glad !'ve come to Heaven O dear, old clas of '27. Casey: Why is Miss Conne! so fat?

They leap about on the white caps, and if you listen carefully you can dis- tinguish their shouts and tinkling fairy laughter from the roar and pound of the surf. It was on a day like this, when the black storm clouds and the fluffy grey wind clouds had parted enough to let the late afternoon sun shine on the tumbling water, so that strange colors appeared. Close to the shore where the waves broke on the sand and rocks rolling up to me where I sat, the water was a dirty brown filled with sand and bits of broken seaweed, farther out were shades of green deepening to a blue along the horizon. A green that shifted constantly reflecting the golden sunlight on its rows of white caps. It was then that l saw a foam fairy, standing on the crest of a wave. She came closer and closer, disappearing, and reappearing leaping from top to top. Then she sat on a huge one which rolled her up to a patch of brown sand at the side of my rock. She laughed a merry fairy laugh and danced, making tiny elfin footprints on the damp sand. 'On her hair, brown like the little wet pebbles, shone a dliadem of tiny petrified bubbles funbelievers call them pearls, confining within themselves the softened colors of the rainbow. Her dress was now green and now blue like the water near the horizon, with foam bubbles bursting and reappearing on it. As the sun sank lower and made a path of rose across the water l saw hundreds of Foam-fairies on each wave, throwing handfuls of bubbles at one another. They make the white caps. The Foam-fairy on the beach blew a wee shell whistle that hung on a golden thread and a great wave rolled in and carried her out. Then, when the sun was just a thin line of fire, they disappeared in the distance riding back to their home where the waves start. For although the waves roll in on every shore, who knows where they come from? l04 2-stef gg, grass cbs - i g THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT'S PHILOSOPHY Suzanne Diefendorf Oh, Yes: although the faculty might not credit us with such a thing, we have a philosophy. More remarkable still, it is faithfully followed by every student in the school. It deals with no abstract theme, such as Religion: no, it is practical: it meets and copes with the common problems of ordinary existence: it is, in short, the philos- ophy of How to Get By. Upon occasions we expand it into How to Get By Creditably. lt has even been known to develope into How to Get By With an A. Never think that this remarkably elastic philosophy just growedu along with Topsy and our characters, No: with exemplary patience and application we developed it during our fledgling years in grammar school: we spent that period of sportive youth at Junior High in improving it by closer study of ourselves and our teachers: and now, in the harvest time of those eight years of preparation, we have made the art of bluffing one of our faculties, a seventh sense. We are able to divine, during the first five minutes of a new teacher's supervision just what course of conduct to follow. Our expressions and our general attitudes change mechanically as we troop from one class to another. 'Bluffing has now become a habit, and requires very little energy to be expended upon it. For the first time in our lives. we can' give our undivided attention to matters for- eign to school. Oh teachers, picture if ye can, with what joy four minds being at rest and our consciences clearl, we follow long-anticipated pursuits: the things we have al- ways thought we would like to dol fl would advise you to acquire such a philosophy, if l were not sure that you already have one., To give a few instances of its practical application: lVlr. A, cannot endure an opposing spirit in his class. His ruling passion is to rule and he does it, with all the absolutism of a Roman Tyrant. No doubt he believes that he has frightened his students into the awed submission depicted upon their counten- ances. Not true! The submission is depicted for his special benefit and it is no clue to what is going on inside their heads. Mr. A's other weakness is his inclination to wander from the subject. His classes take a secret satisfaction in leading him along with alluring questions until they get him fairly launched on some endless anecdote. Then they sink back into their seats, and, fixing their eyes on him in an absent stare, fix their thoughts on other and far pleasanter subjects, Does fMr. A suspect the subtle purpose of their questions? Certainly not. He believes that he commands their attention, as completely as he commands their conduct. Poor, deluded Mr. A.l He gives them a high mark because they have made a good impression upon him and because he honestly thinks they deserve it. Meanwhile. they change their expressions and proceed to another class. Miss B. demands an attitude of alert attention. Consider how thoughtless she is: it is a lot harder to express an alert attention for fifty-five minutes, than awed submission. However, through devoted study of the matter, we have learned to go through that trying period with a minimum expenditure of energy. l..et future generations take heed of these two points in their dealing with 'Miss WB.: Look at her eyes full of interest and attention: make a faint of noting down her words of wisdom for future reference: and you will never lack the necessary credits in her subject. Miss C. is a different -proposition. The personal element enters here and a certain amount of tact is required to handle her correctly. One unfortunate trait of hers, is that while she has no objection to boys as boys, she has a decided antipathy towards them as pupils. As far as l can see. the only course for them to follow, is to really work, until they have so far insinuated themselves into her good graces, as to have no fear for the future. Speaking from the viewpoint of a girl, however, l have found it wise to adopt a tone of friendly intimacy from the start. Little exchanges of compliments on dresses or shoes before class, are helpful. ln extreme cases it is advisable to go as far as to hold after-school conversations concerning the relative merit of the current movies. Work in class is secondary: but a high mark in tests is indispensible. So, when we finally come to commencement, the really momentous problem that faces us-contrary to the opinion of the worthy speaker of the evening-is this: will our philosophy cover all the .phases of that higher education , either in College or in Life, upon which we are about to enter? We think from observation, that it will. However, if we see the necessity, we will not begrudge another eight years of toil in revising it, or even developing a new one. I05 fi'-FQQB 2 ' ,X fi -If Qcbsg assi?-f g i' A STUDY IN TRAMPS By Eloise lliffe Saturday Morning! To some it means a time to repose among the soft covers and downy pillows, to others a time for the accomplishing of other tasks. l cannot say l look forward to Saturday morning. l just nicely get started on some duty when ring goes the front door bell. l know it means two things, either a demure looking couble sheepishly asking for the minister, or a tramp. Of course in all ministers families the former is looked forward to with the greatest of expectation. The latter, alasl It is hard to vouch a good word for him because so many are beats. Yet tramps make wonderful material for character study. A short time ago a vagrant came to the door. Father admitted him. He said he wanted enough money to go to Albany where he had a rich uncle. When they get so far we always know the outcome on account of our years of experience with such story- tellers. He said he was sure 'that his uncle would be so glad to see him that my father would receive a check for twice the amount that was asked for. l-le leaned back in his chair sure of the fact that he had really persuaded my father. His face glowed with the thoughts of meeting his uncle. Then, he spilled the beans as that kind of a man does when he gets talking on religion, He believed in prayer he said. lt seems that a friend of his was an ardent believer in prayer. l-le told how the friend wanted to go to Cali- fornia and so he prayed about it. l-le received an answer the very next day when he was asked if he would like a free ride to California. When the story was finished all was very quiet, Surely , he thought, l'll see my dear old uncle nownl Alasl No. He had not accomplished what he hoped he had with Father. Well, and it was my father's voice, the thing for you to do is to go up to Eight- eenth Street and stand there on the corner and pray, and just as earnestly as your friend did until some one drives by headed east and ask him for a ride 'to Albany. With that the man jumped to his feet and made for the door. l-le threw a dirty glance back over his shoulder at Father and growled. You're a d--m Fool. Father waved him a good-by laughing heartily at the way l1e'd taken him up at his word. But not all tramps are like this, Many worthy men who were depressed ancl tired of it all have risen by a little start given by an understanding heart. A week ago my father was invited to Jamestown, N. Y. While there he was introduced to a very fine looking man who said: You don't know me but l know you. A few years ago l was in your city and out of work. l had looked long and faithfully for something 'to do but found nothing and l was heartily discouraged, l came to you and you found employment for me. Later l came to Jamestown where 'l have succeeded. And so it goes the world over you will find people of two classes. Men who are worthy and men who are unworthy. 106 'M:is ' N si-'in Qchsg zssff nM??se cbs WHERE AWAY THE. ROD Have you ever, in your reading, stumbled across the once famous epigram, Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child ? Although we never hear such an absurd thing nowa- days. this was a very prominent saying among the ancient Americans. Wondering at its popularity l devoted myself to long study and eager research in hopes of discovering its meaning and finally found the following: All ancient people have had some quaint and curious costums and the Americans were no exceptions. lt seems that a child was to be spanked for misbehavior, Can you conceive of such a statute? Today men commit murder and, aside from the embarrass- ment of a trial. nothing further develops. We can never be sure of perfect obedi- ence from our parents and if such weapons as rods, whips. switches and like instruments of correction were used, how were the children of the day able to manage their elders? The masters and schoolmarms were allowed such arms and, I am told, they were seldom known to spoil a child. My search took me out of town to a small red school house, situated about a toss of a stone from the woods. The early Spring sun had been up about two hours and was peeking over the tall majestic pines to see the children playing in the shade near the school. Among the pupils l noticed a kindly old master watching over them until time to start the daily session. Walking over to the man, l inquired of his charges in order to start conversation. He seemed to welcome company and we were soon in the midst of an intimate conversation. He told me of a story connected with the old schoolhouse. john Morton and Alex jones were pals. The former was a dark complexioned, sober-faced boy, and his chum was red-haired, freckled, his face an orgy of grins. They shared the same bench and all their other troubles. One day Alex was caught shooting peas at the girls, To make a horrible example the pedagogue made john Morton go after a switch. johnny slouched dejectedly out of the lilac bush, the sourse of their whips. He took out his coonin' knife and half-heartedly started to cut the stick. The lilacs, in full bloom brought the call of nature. He looked about him. The blue sky appealed to him. The schoolhouse nestled there in the woods lost its beauty to him but the woods itself held far greater pleasure. The birds with their songs of joy at returning home ofter the long winter, The brooks murmuring gleefully at its freedom fromice. The master came to the door and demanded him to hurry. thus bringing him out of his reverie. The teacher and his victim retired to the woodshed and john sat pouting in his seat, The expected punishment did not take place. The master stood a't his desk and explained to the class, john has deliberately defied me by putting a slit in the switch, therefore, he will receive the penalty, much as it pains me because john is not really a bad boy yet dicipline must be enforced. Alex went out to get a switch for his pal and not wishing to encourage further whipping he did not cut a slit in it as john had accidently done. John took his punishment bravely and the old master soon forgot about the incident but not so John who said he would get revenge. l asked the master if he ever did and he said he was the ,lohn of the story and that he had become a teacher to exact punishment to the former master's son but as soon as he had graduated the State had aken the rod from he hands of all teachers so he had to forgive and forget. RUSSELL L. PETERSON, Period Six R i l07 'L' Hfi 3?73!uE , 3 its i i , , Ch Sealer, e e I ' CD5 GIRLS By Elbert Trail just why should girls be, why should they exist? There have been, in past times, many answers to this question, and the number has grown with the increasing age of the world: furthermore, it probably will continue to do us until judgment Day. Of the Hereafter, l shall not presume to discourse but will concentrate my writings fand l hope my reader'sj upon events past, present and the limited future. As for the answers to my all important question, l suppose that Adam, very shortly after the creation of Eve, must have begun devising them within his poor limited means. I say poor and limited because he had no associates to consult on the matter but must conceive a solution entirely without help from anyone. ls it any wonder then that l consider Adam's answer to the question the least important and least in consequence? At times l think that Solomon must have found a very plausible answer. Consider his case eiher before he took unto him seven hundred wives or after he had adopted them, He must have discovered why women exist. Solomon's opinion on the subject should carry much weight for was he not considered the wisest mortal? Yet l wonder if he was so wise after all. The subject is open to debate: however, li shall release myself by not judging Solomon. Although l cite no more cases between Biblical times and the present, it is not to be supposed that the question was abandoned. Romeo had his Juliet, Marc Antony his Cleopatra, and John Alden his Priscilla. Such cases and many more of their nature did exist. Now for the present we shall consider the necessity of the weaker sex as observed and studied at Central High. It must be admitted that they are pleasing even tantalizing and amusing to the eye. What boy, no matter how pale his blood, can refrain from gaping or at least gazing interestedly at a new member of the female specie, a perfect stranger and brand new attraction? Who can help admiring a pretty face although seen countless dozens of times before? lsn't there ever something new and fascinating about it, some adorable quality or characteristic unnoticed before? As for amusement, l can conceive no pleasanter manner of spending a study period than seating oneself near two girl friends and listening to their chatter, observing their antics when in communicat-ion with a congenial spirit at the far end of the study hall. What traits of character, what sacred secrets, what tragedies are disclosed in their con- versationl Listen my reader, lf you have never experienced such delights of 'listening in,' do so at once and find yourself well repaid. Of course when a male member of the student body becomes so incensed with the unavoidable desire and longing for what is commonly known as a date, a girl is absolutely necessary. The blushing aspirant fl mean the boy, will saunter, perhaps stiff-legged, about the schoool in seach of a particular girl. Ohl The mere sight of her sends thrills and tremors through him: nevertheless, he will accost her in a matter-of- fact manner. The next few moments are used in talking on anything: then he asks her the most important question. While she coyly pretends to think -it over, he actually experieces the qualms of fear that the privilege will not be granted. Upon its acceptance he thanks the girl and proceeds to boast of the fact that he has a date. Although there is much more that can be said of the utility of girls, of why they exist in our world, l judge it time to terminate my ramblings. There probably never will be the correct answer to the question of why girls exist: however, l am satisfied that they do and shall accept them as a necessary evil, Furthermore, l shall advise my brother cohorts to do likewisel 108 - 'ukiibfn'- 7. 'X .ia N-'ni' 223952 i 'u.4f'sf??5a: THE BROWN DERBY By Orla Washabaugh There's a dame called Fad who rules us hand and foot. She is continually causing havoc in our otherwise peaceful land by her ridiculous whims. A few winters ago the shifters descended upon us, had their brief reign and vanished into oblivion. Then the flapping galoshes and autographed slickers came among our midst-and following on these, the derby-not the sober black, go to meeting derby of our father's youth which calls up visions of a young daredevil risking life and limb atop a skyscraper bicycle, but brown derbiesl Brown derbies-first brought to our attention by a comic strip in the paper: is it not perhaps significant that the forerunner of this fad was the very essence of stupidity? O man who calls a woman vain, rail at her no more for you too have fallen by the road at the hand of merciless, ever demanding Fadl. You who have passed your creed Clothes make the man on to your innocent, unworldly sons who unsuspectingly have adopted it, modified to Derbies make boys men. Some callow college youth, doubtless a football star or one sufficiently important to get away with it is credited with starting this terrible fashion. Those who came to scoff remained to blossom out, crowned with the chocolate brown affairs. Long suffering mothers, sisters and aunts, who had breathed heartfelt sighs of relief when years ago they had packed the derbies away in the dusty garret with goldl cameos and crayon portraits, resigned themselves to cruel fate, believing the zenith of ugliness to have been reached. But alas -they had not been warned that worse derbies were to follow -light tan derbies with varicolored trimmings which would adorn the head of even the most cherub like infant. With the first snow, that fad, worse than an epidemic for no serum can prevent it, pervaded our heretofore peaceful enough school with results wonderfui and horrible to view. Anyone who did not grace his boyish countenance with one of these queer chapeaux was considered decidedly gauche. Overnight reticent youths were transformed as by magic but in reality by derbies into vaunting, boasting bullies who considered themselves superior to their former equals. It was not that they loved their comrades less but their derbies more. Some of them fell passionately in love with their newly acquired headgear and one boy could not forego the pleasure of wearing his constantly-even to classes until his irate teachers made him mend his ways. He upturned peaceful classes by appearing, his bullet shaped head covered with his brand new derby. His teacher, a woman not versed in the vanities of the weaker sex, could not, as she indignatly expostulated to the secretly laughing class, comprehend such rudeness and sent him apparently crest- fallen and ashamed to dispose of it immediately. However, the door reached, he replaced his beloved derby and with an impish grin at his sympathizing classmates, departed whistling down the hall. But l must remincl you, gentle and patient reader, that like the proverbial cloud with its silver lining there were some good points in the condemned derby. All a bankrupt shopkeeper had to do was to Fill his dusty windows with the ungainly hats and signs Be Stylish for Thirty-five Cents and his fortune was made. Also that whereas derbies had been the goal of many a well aimed snow ball they were respected and kept unharmed. Do not think that our sons of dear old! Central were suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of chivalry for that was not so. It was merely a case of Do not unto others as you would that they should not do to you. I09 'L' 'EE ' I 23833: il . Q 1- ON BEING FAT By Irene Andrews Woe, unto those of the double chin and unfashionably shaped ankles. Seven years ago I entered this class at the tender age of eleven, much abashed at the wonders and hardships of it all. They said that I was undernourishedl Perhaps I was, being a long lanky individual endowed with a row of tombstone-like fangs in the lower middle of a thin pointed fore, So my mother loathful of an undernourished daughter, plied me with rich cocoa, much spinach and other health-building, vitamine giving foodstuffs, The results were terrible and wonderful to behold. Alas! and Alaclcl I could no longer be rated as under- fed for I had gained my normal weight, yea, even surpassed all the expectations of my dutiful family. Indeed, I never did cease absorbing all the nourishment from my sus- tenance and putting on excess weight. Pet names began to appear much to my utter disgust and embarrassment. A fond uncle jokingly called me Ellie and I felt smaller than the minutest midget when he ex- plained in front of all the office girls that it was merely short for elephant. My Dad lovingly embraced me with the inspiring title of Jumn being careful not to hurt my tender feeings by the whole of jumbo , It still escapes once in a while but now in my hardened state I completely ignore it. My camp days then started and I acquired the reputation of being the clumsiest clown on the grounds. In cabin doors I fell, out of lodge windows, up and down banks I tumbled. Many a scar and! cinder have I in my weather beaten legs and knees, Whole pieces have been taken out leaving shallow pools covered with a blanket of whitened tissue as a small lake covered with a dawny coverlet of newly fallen snow. I go to seek replenishment for my wardrobe. I ask for a fashionable dress in my size. Dutiful clerks scurry hither and yon to search clothing abundant enough in mater- ial to fit my spacious figure. An armful of drab garments are slung over her arm and she prepares to show me styles for matrons of fifty summers to say nothing of falls and wintry seasons. In vain I would not consider wearing them to a fashionable dog-fight but am consoled by the suggestion to try the Stylish Stout Department. I am also quite generously built in height fthank heavens for some merciesj which cause me no little discomfort when socially inclined. When I dance how I do hate to have a partner peeking in vain over my shoulders and who insists upon bending me double in behalf of his own comfort. Another sore spot in my life of corpulence is the donning of a one-piece cotton bathing suit at the Y. W, C. A, pool. Among charming mermaids of sylph-like figure I remain a stodgy blunt-figured personage encumbered with several excess pounds of burdensome but unyeildingly firm flesh. Il0 aff- f 2 X 1,1- '5ix, f ,he ijt I if-2 ,Ax cbs assi? in , cns A VISIT T0 THE PHOTOGRAPHER Lyle McKay l was seated the other day in the back waiting-room of a photographers studio, when a little woman of uncertain years entered. She was wearing a feathered hat and a brown coat, holding an umbrella in one hand and with the other, grasping the hand of a most remarkably unprepossessing creature behind her. They sat down, and were admiring a portrait on the table when the photographer entered. Be you the photograph man? Yes, ma'am, he replied, formally, but with a pleasant smile, Hdo you wish to have your picture taken? Pshaw no, she exclaimed with a wave of the hand, l'm too far across the bay to have any professional genius wasted on me - it's Partheny here l want took. We're going to enter her picture in a contest her cousin was tellin' us about. What's the price of that one? she said, pointing to the one on the table. Three and a half. I-low much by the dozen? The same, -it is the print that costs, and not the quantity. This cabinet style is very popular, too. Well, then l guess we'll try her on a cabinet. Can I stay in the room? Having been assured that she might stay, she leaned forward in the chair and adjusted her spectacles to suit the various curves, dips, and angles of her Corinthian nose. Which do you think Partheny would take better-a front view or a side show? You mean quarter view or profile? Yes, I guess I do - and those freckles -you can remove them, can't you? Surely - And couldn't you shorten her ears some? Partheny's generous, as you can see by her ears. They ain't so very long but still she ain't no jack-rabbit. Surely, we can fix her up fine. I was sure you could. l've seen pictures of our dead relations and they alers flattered 'em clean out of sight. The photographer had adjusted Partheny's collar and was now under the black hood. Suddenly he raised his finger and took the bulb. Partheny responded with one of those poses so characteristic of the gay nineties. Wait! interrupted her Mother, How about that 'air squint in the left optic - can you cure that? And Partheny's cheeks look kind of holler 1 could you build 'em out some? He assured her he could touch it up with India ink, and Partheny again stiffened herself against the back of the chair. That red hair - it won't show in the picture, will it? No, madame, nothing will show but black, or dark in the picture. That's fine! she cried leaning back in the chair with a great sigh, No freckles - shorter ears -- fat cheeks, no squint and dark hair. Sit up straight, Partheny, and we'll cop that prize sure as you're a foot high!

SUZANNE. DIEFENDORF. TEMPEST The foghorn sounds its warning cry As a cloudy darkness fills the sky. The snorting, chugging, fishy tugs Are churned amidst the angry waves, And the tall trees on the shore line gray, Beckron them ridling the spray. The horizon black with unburst squall Threatens us from afar. A flapping gull now sweeps close o'er For she too, seeks the sandy shore, Distant fires by Thor's powerful hand Now rent the heavens and strike the land. At last it comes, shrieking, striking, slashing, With foamy whips that lash the rocks. But such is the endurance of strength For the tempest exhausted, departs: As through the fleeting dark clouds His golden arms he extends, Calming the turbulant waters And painting his arc of glory.

Mr. Sloat, manager of the Underwood office in Buffalo, gave me my railroad tickets and a check for fifteen dollars to cover expenses until l arrived in New York. l left about 9:30 in the evening of October I5, and arrived in New York, after a pleasant trip through a beautiful country, at the Grand Central Station, Saturday morning, October l6, at about l0:0O. l had been told that if no one was there to meet me, l should take a taxi and go to the Astor Hotel, ask for the room that was reserved for me, and wait until someone Called me on the telephone. About an hour later the phone rang. lt was Mr. Oswald, a member of the Underwod Company, who with Mr. M. Kimball, hadl charge of the contestants and the contest in general. Some of the girls and two or three ladies were down in another room, he told me, and l should come down and meet them, and then go out to lunch, ln that way l became acquainted with Mildred Clann from Oregon, and Mabel Munro from Montana. The Astor Hotel is very beautiful. lt is situated on Forty-fifth and Broadway, Times Square, and from the window in my room l could see The Great White Way and easily understand its fascination. Mildred, Mabel and l had lunch in the dining room at the Astor. After lunch, we went shopping on Fifth Avenue and Broadway, We went every- where in taxis, and finally ended up at the Woolworth Building. Of course, we couldn't resist going up to the top, lt was certainly a queer sensation to find! ones self up so high, with all the people down on the streets below looking like ants. Then we went down to Battery Park and took a boat to the statue of Liberty. We went up to the base and from there could get a better view than from farther up. That evening, we had dinner in the lnclian Grill Room in the basement of the Hotel. There was a little space cleared off for dancing and an orchestra in one corner to furnish the music. We ordered fancy cakes and ices and all sorts of delicacies. Who wouldn't? ln the evening, later on, everybody went on a sight seeing trip through Chinatown, the Bowery, and upper New York. There were two great big bus loads of us. We went over the Brooklyn Bridge, and went through Wall Street. There were a great many new buildings going up, most of them being built on the new pyramid plan. Perhaps the most beautiful' was the new Paramount Building next to the Astor Hotel. lt wasn't fin- ished when l was there, but from the outside one could judge pretty fairly how wonderful the interior would be. An interesting room in this building will be one in which stones from hundreds of countries will be built in a mosaic, each stone inscribed with the name of the country from which it came. II3 .tp 5 19 X ,L-f as s C h satire QC hw The next afternoon, Sunday, we went on another sight seeing trip, along Fifth Avenue and Riverside drive, Vfe visited Grant's Tomb. It is a most impressive place, there being an open circle in the center from which one can look down on the tombs of General Grant and his wife. The guide pointed out Marion Davies' New York home, said to be worth a great deal. It really appeared to be no more than a pretty apartment house. It is very narrow and high, closely crowded in with other similar houses on both sides. We also saw the home ofa man reputed to be worth millions. It was the only house that we passed that had a lawn all around it. It was on a little slope surrounded by tall apartment buildings overlooking the Hudson River. We passed by the Little Church Around the Corner and Madison Square Carden, ln spite of all the wonderful things l saw, however, l was just a little disappointed. l can't explain it, but there seemed to be something lacking. Monday was the day of the contest, so almost everyone practised all morning. lt rainedl very nearly all day, but the Town Hall, where the contest was to take place, was near the Hotel. so it really wasn't so bad. We all had our own typewriters, and they were placed in rows on the platform at the Hall. On wires strung across the stage were signs bearing the names of the states from which the contestants came. The four persons competing for worlds' championship were placed in the center, the amateurs around them, and we novices around the amateurs. Everyone practiced: all the time, even after Mr, Kimball gave his signal for the curtain to be drawn. Mr, Kimball, the writer of all the test material used by the Underwood people, has a booming voice and when he began to give the directions for beginning the contest, the air seemed to be electrified, it was so tense, Everyone startedi at the same time, when Mr. Kimball blew his whistle. At the end of Fifteen minutes, the whistle was blown again and all the novices stopped, removed the paper from their machines, and then sat back and watched the amateurs and professionals, At the end of a halfhour, they stopped at the blow of the whistle, the four contestants for worlds' championship continuing for another half hour. Mr. Hossfield and Mr. Tangora were the chief ones, and each time one of them would reverse a sheet of paper, cheers would ring out for him. Their fingers seemed! to just fly over the keys. At the end of an hour it was all over. That night we corrected the papers, not knowing, however, whose we were marking because our names were not on the papers. We each had a number and: each of our sheets of paper had that number on instead of our name, We did not know that Mr. Hossfield won until late that night. Tuesday we had all to ourselves. ln the morning and afternoon, Mabel, Mildred and I went shopping and sight seeing again. We visited Wanamaker's and Stern Brothers stores. They were nothing like our department stores here in Erie. One could almost get anything one needs in one of them, from furniture to food. That evening, Miss Forsberg and l went on a trip to Chinatown. We went through the Chinese Joss House and an old opium den. The Chinese people sell the queerest vegetables and fruits, They are really the same as the ones we use but they grow in different shapes. Early Wednesday morning, we left for Philadelphia to spend the dlay. We visited ln- dependence Hall , saw the Liberty Bell and then went to the Sesqui-Centennial. The season was late and! so only a few buildings were open. We had lunch in the Alpine Restaurant. Then we went through the two main buildings. The exhibits were very complete and we certainly enjoyed wandering around and seeing them. Afterwards we had our pictures taken at the Underwood Company Booth. Then l left with Mr. Hossfield and 'Clarance Stoltz from Wisconsin for the train back to New York, because we two had round trip tickets and they would have run out if we had gone on' to Washing- ton D. C. as the rest didi. When we got back to New York, we had just about time to get our bags, berths andl get into the train before time to leave. l got Mr. Hossfield's signature before he le.ft. however. The next morning. Thursday, l arrived in Erie. 'My trip to New York was now a thing of the past, but it was and still is the memory of the most wonderfull thing that has ever happened to me.

L i .AVN ' Ir , - A , 1' Q if x James Glass Alice Sherman Richard Hannon Irving Valentine President Vice President Secretary Treasurer June Class History ln the fall of I923 there entered Central High about two hundred freshmen-young. like all freshmen, and, also like all freshmen, dumb-too dumb to make much headway-- either in lessons or activities, We didn't even manage to organize our class and elect officers until our sophomore year. We were too new to Central that year to have any activities, but the following year-as juniors, we made up for lost time. We gave two dances during the course of the year and evenimanaged to make a little money on them, besides having a wonderful time. Both of these were held in the school gym. Mr. Frail and Miss Schabacker were our willing and helpful aides on all occasions. The big event of the year was the concert given by the Rochester C-lee Clubs in April. This was a huge success, and cleaned up a lot of money falways welcome to the depleted treasuryb. Everyone who attended enjoyed it immensely. Some of our accumulated wealth we contributed to the world famous Central Swimming Team when they needed money to go to Chicago. Bill Paradine, as president, safely piloted the class through its junior year, with the able assistance of: Alice Sherman ...... Vice-President Charles Steiner ...... ....... .... ............ S e c retary Eleanor Scarlett ........................................................................................................ Treasurer This year, however, was our big chance, for as seniors we had everything our own way, No more hero-worship for us, no sir! If the girls wanted football men to adore, we had them all fthe best, that isj. ln fact, we held our own in all activities. A1 Hamm made his entry in three sports-lrving Valentine led his team to City Championship in Swimming-even the Debating team crashed through and won another City Champion- ship for Central. We have good reason to be proud of our class for the support they gave to all these various activities-even Mr. Hyde admits that it has been the best for many years. Social events have been important this year, too, as we have to our credit two dances a Rochester Glee Club Concert, the annual Senior Banquet and Class Play. Looking back on this last year we have a sort of satisfied, happy feeling-for if ever a year was a fitting climax to a full and merry high school career, this year l926- 'l927 has been the best. Not that anything wonderful was done-no great landmarks have been made-and probably no one will ever sigh with regret for the class of l927-but the fact remains that, famous or not, we have had a marvelous time and we'll always have a warm spot in our hearts for dear old Central.

The wonderful comeback the Red and Black made on the gridiron Thanksgiving Day at the ex- pense of East High is a praiseworthy accomplish- ment and one that never will be forgotten by the followers of Central. Greater still, the Basketball team once more brought back to our Alma Mater the long lost net title. Last but not least, our nationally known swimming team retained the championship which it has held for the past twelve years. To Coach Jim Hyde the Spokesman and the student body of Central High give their highest praise for the outstanding achievements he made during his first year as head instructor of athletics in the school. We feel sure that he will continue his good work in the future and that we will remain the most prominent school in the city in scholastic ath- letics. 57 S rut - gg 3 5573-gr-.L 1'-I f f K Fix Eiga ' CHS COACHES James Hycle William Shanor Adam Smith MANAGERS Parsons Hannon Halsey Valentine Football Basketball Track Swimming CAPTAINS , Fuller Hamm F elbinger Dorris Football Basketball Track Swimming 58 am QE n nu xx X FOOTBALL 'wi-f'f '.

Thirty husky athletes answered the call and went to the Y. M. C. A. Camp where they were given two weeks of hard training. On their return to the city these thirty candidates were greeted by a group of forty strong who were anxious to remove them from positions they had earned while at camp. Their purpose was to uphold the Red and: Black, and with a motto that practice makes perfect, the hard work was turned into pleasure. Then on October 2, Coach Jim Hyde and twenty-two husky Red and Black warriors left for Buffalo where they met and defeated the strong Hutchinson eleven. lt was in the third quarter when Mike Cannivino squirmed through the line for a touchdown and then demonstrated his educated toe by kicking the point after touchdown. The Erie Stadium was the next scene for Central where they were hosts to the hard hitting lumberjacks from North Tonawandla, Everything went well for three quarters of the game but in the last quarter something happened-North Tonawanda sneaked over a touchdown clinching the game by a 7-3 score. It was Cannivino's drop kick that saved Central from a shut-out. The next Saturday Central traveled south and met their jinx, Greensburg. The min- ers were out to avenge the defeat that they were handed by Central last year, and we were forced to pacify ourselves with the small end of a 46-0 score. The boats being docked, Warren was host to Central in the lake, The game was a combination of a swimming meet and water polo played according to -football rules. After an hour of deep sea diving we found Warren on the long end of a 20-0 score. ln a sea of wind Central met their country cousins, Academy, and were forced to bow to an overwhelming score as the southsiders were out for blood. Niagara Falls was the next trouble maker for Central. The stadium was the scene of this battle. Stu Holcomb battered his way through the line for Central's only score while their opponents totaled twenty-four points. November I3 found the Red and Black warriors in the fifth City doing battle with Lakewood. A couple of long passes gave the big City lads a 27-2 verdict. ln another sea of mud Central met and held the strong Sharon eleven to a scorless tie. This proved to be a turning point in the Football Schedule. Things did not look so bright as the Turkey Day game with East drew near, as East held Academy to a scorless tie, but Central sent eleven men on the field with a do or die spirit and the Sunrisers were forced to content themselves with a scorless tie which gave the Red and Black a moral victory. To top off the season critics picked four Central players on the All-Scholastic team: Captain Fuller, Stu Holcomb. Cannivino, Hynes-a proof that the Red and Black colors still fly high in the athletic world. Coach jim Hyde has a nucleus for a championship team next year-Captain-elect Holcomb, Seifert, Walker, Hayes, Clough, Cannivino, Lyons, Howell, Daily, Johnson, Karhu. Speer and Breene. With a group of experienced warriors and! the loyal backing of the Alumni and student body, we expect to hear much from Central in the future. 62 . z.f'f- 1 ig -X LAM , I Iii ,E s L 2235? 1 cbs f-45:4 a i' I 4314 m x kd' I! . x ,lx wxx. .ks-,li S FS . xx?

For the first time in four years Central won the City Championship from East High. By losing but two League games the team finished in second place for the district championship. We hope that this season marked the return of Central's lost laurels and will continue. The outstanding fact of the whole season was that of defeating East High in two out of three games. Much credit for the success of the team belongs to coach jim Hyde. He built a winning team around captain Al Hamm, and Ray Felbinger who were the only remaining lettermen. After the close of the regular season the team was entered in the Waynes- burg College Tri-State Tournament. Central won the first game easily but was defeated by Braddock High of Pittsburgh eliminated in the second game. The score was 24-21. I. Our first game was played at Conneaut against Conneaut High on December I7, I926. A 20-I2 win started the team on the right track. 2. On Dec. 22 the strong De lVlolay team composed of ex-high school stars was beaten by a score of 2l-I 7. 65 -Q ...K u w S alah N ails Basketball Review fCont'dj 3. Dec. 29 was another big night. The Alumni team composed of last years team dropped a 37-36 verdict to the younger stars. 4. Westheld High came to the Y on December 31 and was slaught- ered by a score of 55-7. 5. Central journeyed to Buffalo on Jan. 7 and met Bennett High. This team proved to be the fifth victim of the Red and Black. The final score was 22-I4. 6. On Jan. I 3 the team met East High on the East Court in one of the best played games of the entire season. Central finished with flying colors, the score being 22-I3 in our favor. This game marked the first time in four years that Central has beaten East. 7. Warren came to Erie on January 21 and practically upset our league hopes. The team was a little off-color that night and lost this game 25-22. 8. Jamestown High was beaten at the Y on Jan. 29, by a score of 29-2l. 9. On Feb. 4 we played Franklin High at Franklin. The team pulled a surprise and the result was 30-l0 defeat. l0. The team stopped off at Cochranton on Feb. 5 and saved a 33-20 victory over Cochranton High. ll. Central ran into some real opposition at Academy on Feb. 8 but defeated the southside rivals I4-I 3. l2. Franklin High came to Erie on Feb. I2 and played Central on the large Carney Auditorium court. It was all they could do to score a 20-l6 win over the local boys. I3. East High met Central at Carney's on Feb. I5 in a return game. Playing unusually good basketball they defeated us 36-20, thus evening the score. l4. The team set out for Warren on Feb. I8 to avenge the previous de- feat by this team and to return to its winning streak. At the finish of the game the score stood Central 25-Warren l7. l5. The Academy netters played the Red and Black on Feb. 26 and were added to the list of victims. The score was 26-24 in favor of Central. l6. The team played Sharon High at Sharon on March 4th and lost a poorly played game by a score of 35-l8. l7. On the next night Bennett High met Central in Erie and lost by a score of 38-I9. 18. To settle the City Championship a play-off game was staged be- tween Central and East. Displaying some of the best basketball seen here this year, the Red and Black defeated the League Champs by a score of 24-22. I9. After the close of the regular season the team was given financial aid from the students and business men to help defray the traveling expenses to the Waynesburg Tournament. ln the first game on March 24, Central beat German Township of West Virginia by a score of 32-13. 20. The season ended when Braddock High managed to score a 24-2l victory over Central.

Water Polo Review Two teams are waiting patiently at opposite ends of the tanl-c. The referee blows a shrill whistle and drops the ball in the center of the pool. The water polo game is now in full swing. As those know who have seen any of these conquests there is one continu- ous motion up and down the tank until the referee sounds his whistle for a quarter, half or end of game. Water polo is one of the most exciting sports to Watch and also to play. The season opened with Central and East at the HY pool. This was an easy contest for the Red and Black poloists who won it in handy fashion by a score of 3-l. Central next met Academy in the southside tank and also won with ease by a score of 3-0 East then met Central at the eastside natatorium and won 2-I. Central then met Academy at the Y pool and just nosed out the southsiclers by a score of l-0 Marked improvement was shown by the opposing team and Central was beaten several times, barely winning the first half championship by a one game margin. Because the swimming season was drawing near, the Red and Black dropped polo for a while. ln the second half this was shown by the five consecutive victories of Acad- emy. and one of East, over Central. However, Central managed to finish in second place. ln the final play-off, Central was beaten three times by Academy. Central has 1 fine nucleus for next year's team, as only Gillespie, Valentine, Dorris and Meyer will not be playing. The greater part of the credit for the showing of the team is due to Adam Smith, coach, and we sincerely hope that the teams in the future will rise to greater heights than this one.

This was the first dual meet out of town for a Central Swimming Team in five years. The team swamped The the University School of Cleveland by a score of 46 to I3. annual triangular meet was held by the Y. M. C. A, to determine all-schol- astic positions. The score for this meet was: Central 3Ig Academy 19, East I3. In this Central won the Relay, Diving, I00 yard Breast, I00 yard Back and 220 free-style. Captain Dorris was lead off mari for the Relay, and always started the team off to victory, by giving the other three men a large lead. Besides this he was the century free-styler and star forty yard man, i Lloyd Cochrane can then be depended upon to come through with a new record for the breast stroke. His last record was l:l2 I-5, in the triangular meet. Great things are expected from Lloyd next year. Orville Haker the mighty 220 man is a promising star in the scholastic world next year. John Gillespie, relay, 220 and I00 yard free styler for the Red and Black the first semester starred in the Cleveland meet, by coming through with a first in the I00 and 220 clinching the meet. His loss at mid-semester was a handicap to the Redl and Black. Rosmer McCavern, the handsome all-scholastic diver was the feature attraction at all the meets with Academy. George Carrol, flashy breastroker and relay man, will be one of the big guns for the team next season. Charley Meyer, backstroker and relay man, was a big asset to the team this year. His sprints at the finish of the race won for Central many of its points. Donald Donovan, the giant freshman, relay, 40, I00 and 220 yard man. It was Don's first year of swimming and Coach Smith is expecting big things from the six-footer next season. Relard, a newcomer from Cridley, scored 7 points for the Red and: Black in two meets. He has exceptional ability on the springboard. Shelclion Brown, 220, l00 and relay man, will be one of the big men for the Red and Black next year. As Brownie was out West for a time last winter, he missed several meets, and wasn't seen much in action. Much credit must be given to Doc Ainsworth and Adam Smith for the work of these boys. Without these men Central would have no swimming team. We wish to thank the school for its loyal support throughout -the past season. Most of all we wish the best of luck to 'Captain 'Cochran and next year's team, and may they uphcld the name of Central as have their predecessors. 7l w--- -'-- - .

Yet from an abundant wealth of inexperienced material, Coach Anderson moulded a team which stands at the top of the debating world as undisputed champion Quibblers of the city. Last fall, with no nucleus to center a team, our debating Coach with great pains- taking finally organized two teams to represent Central on the field of inter-scholastic debate. With the question: Resolved that U. S, should cancel the war debts of her allies of the World War, Central negotiated two dual debates with Niagara Falls and Cleve- land Heights. Our first affirmative team composed of Frances Nagle, Francis Schneider and Robert Loeb, fCaptainj were hosts to Niagara Falls negative squad in Central Audi- torium. At the same time Annabel Elfenbein, Jeanette Albracht and Oscar Klein fcaptainl composing our first negative team invaded Niagara Falls. Two days later our second affirmative team composed of Margaret Marshall and Ruth Armagost fcaptainj travelled to Cleveland, while the second negative squad consisting of Sheldon Brown and Louise Preston fcaptainj met Cleveland Heights affirmative at an Erie Church. Although we lost the decision in each of the debates except with Niagara Falls Negative, these debates were bitterly contested and were very credible performances in view of the lack of experience. Continuing a system that Central had inaugurated a year ago, we staged debates before many civic and fraternal organizations of the city. Application of this idea of debating was for the first time in Central's history, and we believe for the first time in the history of any high school in the country. The students who participated in club debates were the same ones who took part in the interesting debates along with William Christie, Robert Wellmon, Hobart French and Ethel Elfenbein. Donald Schaal, our debating manager arranged debates before the Optimist. Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and Business and Professional Woman's Club as well as B'nai B'rith Lodge and Lutheran Men, This February, Coach Anderson selected two teams from the best material to rep- resent Central in the triangular debates for the city championship. With the question: Resolved that the surplus in the United States Treasury should be used to strengthen our national defence. The teams workeda with dogged determination to clinch the city debate title. On April 6, the affirmative team fFrancis Nagle, Ruth Armagost, Robert Loeb fCaptainJ 'travelled over to East High to crack Plate Cone of the outstanding duebators in E.ast's attackl, while on the negative team fsheldon Brown, Margaret Marshall, Cscar Klein fCaptainJ remained at Central as hosts to Academy's affirmative team lead by David Finlay. Our negative squad crushed Academy by an unanimous vote, while the affirmative team took a 2-l count over their East Side opponents. Now the curtain is rapidly drawing the debating season to a close. Dear old Cen- tral can once more sit back in lofty pride and wink at her younger competitors for thc Red and Black is city debate champion for l927. 75 fuss-f 2,35 1, as c hs gala? 1 1.

The purpose of the club is, as it has always been, to promote a friendly spirit among the girls, to aid them in becoming better acquainted, and to inspire a real desire for further education. We held our first meeting in the school auditorium where the following officers were elected: Lois Horsman President Eleanor Scarlett . .... .... .... ...... S e c retary Miss Burger was our adviser and councillor. The College Club has sponsored two successful social functions this year. On Dec- ember 8, the club of Central High School entertained the clubs of East and Academy, and members of the College Women's Club at a dinner party given in the reception room of the Y. W. C. A. Some very clever stunts were carriecl out by each of the schools, with dancing following the entertainment, On February l6, Central again entertained the College Women's Club, teachers of Central High, and members of the three schools at a bridge-tea. Ar this affair we cleared fifty-four dollars which will be given as a scholarship to some girl at the June graduation. We rejoice that we have had loyal support and a very profitable year, thanks to the fine cooperation of every member. LOIS HORSMAN, President Commercial Department As a result of the annual typewriting contest held May I4, l926, Helen Glick, of the class of '27 was given a trip to New York City through the cour- tesy of the Underwood Typewriter Company. The company provides this trip annually to the best first year typists in every state in the country, thus enabling the state champions to take part in the annual international type- writing contest. 77 1 Ch 'Mei-iff , .75 , A559352 ' 1 f annul!

Somewhat handicapped by a new supervisor and a rather late start, but under the leadership of our president, James Class, we were soon well under way with our fall and winter program. Our activities this year have been varied, but somewhat limited. ln spite of this we do feel we have lived up to our purpose and we have been a help school.

M. Hughes. First, through the remainder of the wintry months, we delved into the secret of sinesu and cosines then we attacked those famous and mysterious logs . Summer drew near and with sunshine and rest- lessness among the students. To offset the longing gazes cast towards the windows Mr. Hughes took the class to the surrounding country for special field work and a few of the rucliments of surveying, he being our champion in many difficulties. Affairs were well managed and the required work was 'finished early enough so that extra advanced Trig could be studiied. The Trig class of 27 feels it has accomplished a worthy end and has equaled to the nth degree the records and standards of the preceding classes, 80 X ' 'N cbs X i cbs The Council The Council of Central is an organization, consisting of twelve students, and faculty members, which meets at especially appointed times. ln these meetings the business of the school is carried on, the students playing as large a part as the faculty in making the decisions.

We are very proud of the fact that we have had the largest number of members intiatecl. Our yearly program, under the firm guidance of Miss Postance has been interesting and has been enjoyed by everyone. Our Mid-Winter Conference was perhaps the greatest event of the year. The wish of the senior Girl Reserves is that the Rouge et Nairei' Club will continue. Our Girl Reserve motto is: lsn't it strange that princes and kings And clowns that caper in saw dust rings And common folks like you and me Are builders of eternity? Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and a book of rules And each must fashion ere life be flown A stumbling block or a stepping stone. The purpose of the Rouge et Noireu Club of Central High School, Girl Reserves. is to promote friendship, democracy, and school spirit and to strive to develop mentally, physcially, socially and spiritually. We feel that we have done our best to carry out this purpose and hope that the future Girl Reserves of Central will surpass us. YANULA CHACONA, Secretary 82 'uissf-65 iiisfsi .

EDITORIAL lnterest in the Spokesman, this year, was slightly less than the sudden en- thusiasm of last year. lt is difficult, somehow, for the student body to realize just how serious a project the publication of their annual is. They don't under- stand that the Spokesman presents a record more lasting and just as worth while as any athletic victory. We, as a board, have no cause to complain, though. We have thoroughly enjoyed our work and we have met with interest and sympathy among both the students and the faculty. We have tried to make this a Spokesman to be proud of-and we hope that we have succeeded. 83 A 6 Sis ll cbs u w Spokesman Board Charlotte Walrath Donald Schaal ............

By its regulations, monitors are assigned to eight different stations. They require admits from each passing school student and show hospitality to all outsiders. It is the aim of the monitor system to promote peace and quiet in the school corridors. Among those who have served as school monitors this year are: Armagost, Ruth Bates, Leslie Becker, Edwin Berman, Gerson Berst, 'Magdaline Bliley, josephine Blowers, Charles Boam, Ethel Borland, Effie Braggins, Arthur Carroll, George Causegrove, Alice Clark, Kenneth Coolbaugh, Gwendolyn Crittenden, john Crittenden, Mina Dececco, Virginia Deckard, William Diefendorf, Susanne Doeibelbies, Louis Doll, Katherine Erismann, Ruth Fleeger, Dolores Flynn, Victor Forbeck, Howard French, Frances Gaekle, lrwin Gifford, Margaret Gilbert, Marion Giles, Dorthy Glick, Helen Hagelston, Mildred Holquist, Ellen Hanley, Letitia Hart, Merrill Helberg, Theodore Henneous, George Horn, Harold lliffe, Eloise Loeb, Robert Mancini, Patsy Marshall, Margaret Miller, Leona Milloy, 'Margaret Milne, Ronald Mong, Wilbur Morgoch, Edith Moyer, Margaret Nason, Ann Parsons, Arthur Pearson, Helen Peterson, Beatrice Peterson, Russell Pratt, Elizabeth Reid, Roy Reitzell, Virginia Rilling, Betty Ritchey, Eleanor Rose, Elizabeth Scalise, Ralph Scarlett, Eleanor Schneider, Richard Smith, Louise Snyder, Margaret Umnitz, Charlotte Vandewark, Norman Vviau, Alma Wakefield, Sheila Walker, Carlton Washabaugh, Orla Watwood, Virginia Wellmon, Robert Westergren, Genevieve White, Raymond Wilson, Ruth Winter, john - 87 as-nav' l rmffgv ,Mew ,. , ...fx-L9 ORCHESTRA :.Z f- f Q X f ig assi. ni6t3p.ssi: chsk Orchestra Review Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, The culture from a musical education plays so necessary a part in our progress and happiness that music has now a permanent place in school studies. The orchestra is an organization that students with some musical ability should take advantage of. It is a training that in after school years a person will not be sorry for giving his time and attention to. Under the direction of Mr. Owen a student's develop- ment is sure and fast. Music is an intelligent and also an emotional utterance. Unless we understand what we have to play our technique will be a useless accomplishment. Ir is not unlike our other school studies. We attend school to get a training so that we may be able to accomplish things, overcome difficulties, and in this fast life of ours, the mind is strengthend by the ob- stacles it meets. There is considerable moral discipline in practising musical compositions, not weekly but regularly, daily. This is the object of musical organizations in our schools There has been a slight loss of interest in our orchestra this year. Central has the talent and it should present itself. Even if we have not been up to last year's standard Mr. Owen has given us an orchestra that we are no less proud of. We should take our hats off to Mr, Owen for his splendid work. Our public performances at the Reed House, the Dramatic Club play and the Burn's Oratorical Contest in our auditorium under the leadership of our popular student conductor, james Glass, were well rendered and heartily received. A lot could be written on the benefits and pleasures derived from being a member of this organization: we do not expect to be Beethovens, Mozarts or Chopins, but we are glad to leave our names enrolled in Central High's leading musical body. Our present players will vouch for the statement that Mr. Owen is a real leader, and not a driver. Come on boys and girls, get your orchestra chairs. We are leaving you, wishing you success: with the happy thought that we will return some time to hear you play that old familiar tune. Oh Hail to Dear Old Central.

As the result of hard work from ambitious and energetic students fsome fifty in alll, an evening of musical entertainment was given by the combined choruses on May IZ. This consisted of several classical and comedy select- ions. The boys rendered a very clever sketch entitled Cleopatra, which is a modern version of that classic, and as we would naturally expect, the play had an up-to-date setting, which included afternoon gowns and all the dainty regalia that goes with the twentieth-century, fashionable milady's wardrobe. Although there were no Mary Gardens or Carusoes, they all had tendencies which will lead to the Metropolitan Opera or Hollywood! OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester President ..................
