We, the youth of today look ahead at our truly great Post-War World. These simple rights of man-kind, so wholesome, so sincere, and simple that it seems absurd anyone should seek to drive from minds of men the ideals of fellowship, enthusiasm, power, and enlighten- ment. It is for youth to teach the youth of all nations these ideals. In writing a final word to the graduating Seniors, we hope that in order for you to excel in the finer standards and traditions of America you will cultivate stout hearts, clear heads, and ambitions of integrity and honor. Youth speaks on the Post-War World to benefit the entire nation. Our 1944 Wakitan board wishes to express in the book, the numerous desires, and planning of the future. Marching side by side, the youth of today greets the youth of tomorrow better informed of the task ahead. The long winding trail to suefress, the goal of every American youth can and will be achieved by work, study, and ambition. In the years to come befause they have gained that knowledge, that strength. Youth will Speak On The Post-War World. Editors. 'youtlfs 'High fi-lopes for Post-war world MISS CALLA E. VARNER Miss Varner stops to talk to a student Principal of Central High School Upon entering Miss Calla E. Varner's office we see immediately that she is trying, in her conversation with students, to help fit them for the post-war world. Our capable principal displays an interest in her students, not only in their school work, but also in their community interests. Her fellowship is felt and seen throughout Central's halls. A friendly greeting she bestows on many classmen while passing to and from classes during the day. She distinguishes each student, calling him by name, making him feel a distinct part of Central High School. We recognize and commend her for her efficiency, intelligence, and kindness-great factors in any community. Enlightenment of student careers by special conferences with the principal develops an untold power for the students' part in the post-war World. 'Houtlfs 'Praise Of 'Principal MR. TRACY E. DALE MR. GEORGE BLACKWELL Former Superlntendent of Schools Superintendent of Schools Outstanding Guidance bg School 'Board American youth visits the school board, and finds it is composed of outstanding members of the community whose primary aim is to help bring to the students such courses which are destined to bring about a post-war world of peace and prosperity. Mr. Blackwell is an efficient and capable man, who has taken over the work since Mr. Tracy Dale left to take his place as a captain in the armed forces of his country. BOARD OF EDUCATION Front Row, left to right: Mr. R. V. Blomfield, Mr. David W. Hopkins, Mrs. Clifford Adams, Mrs. True Davis. Second Row: Mr. George Blackwell, Mr. E. F. Garvey, Mr. Harry Herschman, Mr. W. Falrleigh Enright. Left to right: Charles Pankewicz and Mr. Marlon Gihhins, Vlce-Princlpal of Central Hlgh School. Leaving Miss Calla E. Varner's office, the American youth strolls down the of- fice hall. VVhile doing so he catches a fleeting glimpse of Mr. Marlion Gibbins talking to a student relative to the future desires of that person. Mr. Gibbins is ever constantly giving well appreciated advice to the students concerning the high school courses which will best afford the students a definite position in the post- war world. Advice From 'Bogs' Counselor Eight Mr. Gibbins, as boys' counselor. has also stated many well founded words of advice to the boys. His actions alone tell of his interest in the youth of the school. He has talked with the boys about their work in the futureg Work which will place them ahead in the world. Building civic responsibility into the minds of the stu- dents is another of the many tasks which he has undertaken to prepare them for the long journey ahead. Mr. Gibbins' genial disposition and his high integrity are indicative of his ability as leader in the new world. Gom- petency is one of the many of his keynotes for success. His attributes definitely fore! shadow his ability as leader in the post- war world. 1 Lower picture: Students conducting business In the office. Upper left picture: Miss Cecelia Freedman As the American youth passes through the office, he sees great freedom of action. He learns that they expect the post- war period to bring greater responsibility to the office of Central High School, VVork has been greatly increased with the com- ing of the war. Records of students who attended Central in the past are now sent to Army and Navy officials, stating their grade averages and the school activities in which they were engaged. Many of the inquiries coming in are concerned with employment references of the present stu- dents. Attendance records are much more complicated now due to the migration of people, students coming and going. and Upper right picture: Miss Betty Hayward the absence due to Work. This work has been placed upon the shoulders of Miss Cecelia Freedman and Miss Betty Hay- ward. Miss Hayward receives all money deposited in the school. banks it, give re- ceipts. and pays all bills. The students who work in the office render valuable services. Experienced, energetic people like them will be needed in the post-war world. 'Keeps machinerg Functioning Nine Miss Hester DeNeen talking to Student Council members. Left to right: Jessie Lee Helenthal. Barbara Elliott, and Mlss Hester Deneen. At the conclusion of the momentary glimpse of Mr. Gibbins and a brief visit with the office force, the American youth wanders toward the north end of the office hall. catching a fleeting look of Miss Hester DeNeen to conclude his trip through the office. Like Mr. Gibbins, Miss DeNeen has also given the students many wise words of advice. thus making her well-liked by all. Her well-founded advice will be basic- ally one of the foundations for life in the future. Miss DeNeen is broad mindedg she has a large scope of thoughts and actions, Into the fDeau's Office many of which concern the aspects of life in the future. As girls' counselor, she comes into close contact with the desires of the students, and, as a good pilot should be. advises and steers them on the true courses. Miss DeNeen is also sponsor of the Student Council, again coming into di- rect contact with the desires of the stu- dents. The spirit of enthusiasm is quite dom- inant in Miss DeNeenq she willingly and cheerfully accomplishes her tasks. She is a most suggestive and cooperative person. always giving preference to the student wishes over other trivial matters. The crystal globe of any seer could easily fore- tell a place of leadership for Miss DeNeen in the world which results from actions at the peace table. 0 . 55,4-95 V- , gym., V gh . ,A+ ' ,, . ,ffglivi '- F 'ff !,::5Si'?LI,:.i5- 'j ,Y .. a 1 ,.ff:2:iif-Lf' ' axis 89 ' O H. o M X GY X, New K9 4. 6 Qxfaq suv: 5' .j5g'Tl:f' Jas. 1,- 5,1 ,sf ce NN Q 5 3?

Class o 1944 Fourteen Senior Closs History Probably never in the history of the school has a senior class been faced with so many complex problems as the present senior class. They are up against a war that has already changed their ideas for the future, and has been a definite factor in their courses in the senior year. The senior boys knowing that in all probability they will enter some branch of the service have taken aeronautics. physics. radio, ad- vanced mathematics, and vocational training in place of the regular academic studies. Many of the girls preparing for this changing world took the commercial studies of shorthand, typing, business English, and eomptometry. The senior class with a membership of 261 students have a splendid record in all their undertakings. Some became students of the Hillyard Vocational School. Many participated in VVar Bond and salvage drives, music, sports, and dances. The class has the honor of having many senior boys already in the armed forces with more to go after graduation. The responsible job of directing the social life of the senior class was handled by Miss Mary Myers and Miss Sarah Spencer. Miss Vera Tilson tended to the student curricular program. The senior of- ficers are: John Wilkening, presidentg Bill Meadows, vice-presidentg Lily Mae Donly, secretary, and Evelyn Swartz, treasurer. ,HIGH RANKING STUDENTS Front Row, reading left -to right: Norman Carroll, Jessie Lee Helenthal, John Wllkenlng.

Junior Closs History The Junior Class, composed of approximately three hundred students, began an active year September 7, 1943. Confronted with many problems due to the war demands, they faced the situation bravely, and are now prepared to enter into a very unusual and stren- uous Senior year. U Students omitted many courses and extra-curricular activities which seemed less essential to their needs in order to help meet the manpower shortage. Science and mathematics courses continue to increase in popu- larity, while commercial and vocational courses attract many who now hold or hope soon to hold Jobs. Phil Denver, whom the Juniors have chosen from their midst to guide them through the year, has shown his capability and efficien- cy in many ways. Mary .lane Gonnett was chosen vice-president, and has always played an outstanding part in the class activities. She was president of Bliss during her Freshman year, and was secretary here at Central during her Sophomore year. Nancy Chase. secretary of the Junior class, has proved herself capable of holding such a responsible position. Geraldine Hay, treasurer, has given her fellow classmates good service to show she is capable of the trust placed upon her. She has represented the class in the Student Council and other class activities. The Juniors selected these students to represent them in the Stu- dent Council the first semester: John Beltz, Harry Briggs, Harlan Car- penter, Nancy Chase, Mary Jane Connett, Nancy Ann Forgrave, Jim Gooding, Alan Hawley, Dorothy Lucas, Geraldine Bay, Tommy Smith, and Mary Summers. Those chosen for second semester were: Weller Bayer, John Beltz, Nancy Chase, Mary Jane Connett, Beverly Dawson, Nancy Ann Forgrave, Jimmy Goodding, Allan Hawley, Geraldine Ray, Tommy Smith, and Mary Summers. Much of the success of the Junior class is due to the excellent guidance of their sponsors, Miss Ethel Crawford and Miss Jesse Hob- erts, and of their counselor. Miss Ruth Spangberg.

Many of them looked very happy, some dazed, and others sad. These youngsters, bewildered and amazed, assembled in the auditorium for their first orientation program. For the first week of school a program was presented every day acquainting the Freshmen with the courses, activities, and ways of Central. One of the activities they took part in was the Student Govern- ment. Joining in with their upper olassmen they elected their class officers at the beginning of the year. The election of Howard Erickson for their president and capa- able leader, showed that the younger minds are constantly alert to a successful future for the class. Other officers chosen were Phyliss Everett, vice-president, Margzaret Cousins. secretary: and Sue Lechler, treasurer. This class has been guided by the most reliable teachers, Miss Marguerite Jones and Miss Leolian Carter. Other students who took an active part in this year's Student Council and will help lead the Freshmen in their three coming years at Central are the Student Council representatives.

Typing Class Entering in the commercial depart- ment of our school we find many busy classmen at work making every minute of time count. These students show their initiative through their ability to do their work with speed and accuracy. Stenography and Typing can be taken for three semesters. Usually during the fourth semester the student takes Office Practice. Thus when he enters the bus- iness World. he can manage efficiently. Bookkeeping is the study of how to keep business records and books. Comp- tometry is also offered to the Central stu- dents. i l l i Upper Picture: Typing Class. American Government Class Too much emphasis cannot be placed on social science studies. as they will play a most important role in laying the foun- dation for our post-war world. Citizenship is required of freshmen students for the purpose of developing their characters to become better and ac- tive citizens. lt is required of all students to take United States History in their junior year and American Government alternated with Economics in their senior year. Class :Room work Fifty-three Fifty-four CLASS ROOM SCEN ES Top Picture.: Mathematics. Middle Picture: Mechanical Drawing. Bottom Picture: Prlntlng. The Mathematics De- partment has been Some- what enlarged in response to demands concerning the war effort. Besides algebra, geometry and trigonome- try, refresher and general math are also taught. Refresher math is taught to seniors only, as it is a review of algebra and geometry, both of which 1re offered in the freshman and iunior year. General mathematics in- cludes some business math and also -touches geometry, algebra, and a small por- tion of trigonometry. The main objective of a course in geometry as given at the present time is the development of clear thinking. The dominant aim of algebra is to analyze a problem, to formulate it, and to interpret the result. The field of mechanical drawing and woodwork has not been invaded yet but perhaps the time will come when as many girls will take it as boys. Printing, considered a boys' subject for many years, is now taken by many girls. Art is a subject that fits well 'in every, day life. The teacher and students can become better ac- quainted because they work together for the same desired end. Two very useful subjects especially in the present times are foods and clo- thing. Much stress has been put on proper eating this year by the govern- ment, community, and 'the schools. A Nutrition Club was formed by Miss Geor- gia Vaughn's food classes to promote more healthful eating among the students.

Every high school stu- dent must take three years of English, which is a re- quired subject to enter col- lege or to graduate from high school. In making plans for our post-war world students must be able to speak and write the mother tongue fluently, There are many types of English to choose from. Classics, the fundamentals of grammer, writing, Amer- ican and English literature are the basic studies in English. A selection may be made for senior year. Speech and dramatics is another course scheduled to students for the purpose of obtaining poise and ease before an audience. During the first part of the year the dramatics class special- ized in one act plays. The second semester, their at- tention focused ou the pro- duction of the all-school play, being Junior Miss . Any boy holding a job outside of school can take either Personal Problems or Consumers' Science. These are elective courses and are not required. These studies help to make a boy successful in any occupa- tion he may choose, and to apply science to his daily life. Human Relations is a course for girls in which informal discussions are held on poise, personality, and the development of character. Being a rela- tiv new subject it has drawn a great deal of at- tention and brought a fa- vorable response. The language department offers two very valuable subjects: one is Latin. the basis of all languages, and Spanish is the other.

You'll find then all in the Central Outlook Few people realize the hus- tle and bustle that goes on in Room 204 before the pa- pers come out on Friday. By the time one paper leaves the presses, another is already in the making. From Friday until Wednes- day, there's a constant rush, interviewing people, soliciting for ads, looking up various -things, Waiting for the typewriters, some even working franticallv during lunch period to heat the deadline. At the beginning of the period on Monday, assign- ments are given by the editors and they're off. The advertising board assumes a humble expression and heads for the down town district. Misses Varner and DeNeen, and Mr. Gibbins are duly interviewed. This whirlwind goes on three days, By Wednesday the editors' hair is nearly all pulled out and their finger- nails chewed down to the wrist, Finally, however, everything is in, just whsn it seemed hopeless, the ma- terial is with the printers, and everyone heaves a sigh of relief. Now all that has to be done on Thurs- day is fto put the whole thing together. We have tried to protray a true picture of school life and activities. f.?,5,1 ,Knee 76 W nuff., .1 . swift c,,.wnef,.W,:y 25 44. mu-ct u up Picture. Patricia Barber, Editor of Outlook two semesters.

The Wakitan Tribe started off with a fight to the finish war hoop in October of 1943, when they assembled to choose the cover for the annual. The two chief warriors were selected from the tribe and the Indian editors under them. Each In- dian was assigned a job with orders to carry on to the finish. As their theme they choose the Post-War Peace and published a paper in which the headlines re- vealed the four main ideals in- volved to accomplish this Peace. They are: enlightenment, power, fellowship, and enthusiasm. The material was then brought to the main tent for assemblying the dummy book. After all cor- rections were made the book was then sent to the printers for a final printing and publishing. To advertise its books the board presented a play in which the theme of the Wakitan and peace in the post-war world were the main picture. A Hitler youth was shown the difference of peace loving nations compared to that of his own. The dif- ferent races represented were those of China, Russia, American Indians and the Negro race. In- spiration was shown through speeches, dances, a song and cos- tumes to represent each corner of the world. These countries were gathered around a peace table, each expressing its desire for an ever lasting peace on this planet. The chief direction of the work is under Miss Kathryn J. Stiles, adviser. The co-editors are Gretchen Vequist and Charles Pankewicz. ya, Zfubligiijons 3? A wfsizzf Q tililfizfigwseg 'wage H H1'9K?? f , 3535 X 51 X S 25 3 .,,....Q,., I .

The post-war world will demand a great many indi- viduals who have had a thorough knowledge and vast experience in the hold- ing of responsible govern- ment positions to conduct the affairs of the future world. Such a group of students is the Student Council which participated in the present and future developments of the school: the members of which are students who have been chosen by the general stu- dent body to act as their representatives to discuss and bring about a closer relationship and good feel- ing between students and faculty. The Student Council has been functioning since 1924 when it met each week with Miss Calla E. Varner, school principal. Since 1941 the Student Council has been under the super- vision of Miss Hester De- Neen, the present sponsor. The president, vice-pres- ident, secretary, and treas- urer of the student body are the officers of the Stu- dent Council. The 1943- 44 officers of the Student Council are: president, Scotty Murrayg vice-presi- dent, Roger Grunwaldg sec- retary, Jessie Lee Helen- thalg and treasurer, Tom- my VViley. The parliamentarian is James Hayward. Weller Bayer is the chaplain.

Well deserved praise has been given Central for be- ing the originator of the annual meeting of the Fed- eration of the Student Councils of the Central States, the first meeting of the councils being held at Central in October, 1928. Since that time there have been annual meetings held at various cities throughout the middle west. This year's sectional convention was held at Kansas City, Missouri, on November 8, 1943, to which Central sent five delegates: Scotty Mur- ray, Tommy Wiley, Roger Grunwald, Jessie Lee Helenthal, and Jim Good- ing. The selling of war bonds and stamps has been one of the most outstanding ac- complishments of -the Stu- dent Council during the past school year. The Council also has su- pervision of the Lost and Found and the Book Ex- change, two services which are greatly appreciated by the students. Besides these regular functions the Council has conducted other services throughout the year, such as the drive to preserve the campus, the chartering of clubs, the orientation classes for incoming stu- dents, and the placing of special emphasis on Safety Council activities. l FIRST SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL Lower Picture-Front Row, reading left to right: Helen Fisher, Thomaslne Jager, Beverly Lawrence, Lou Ann Welch, Don Ridpath, Betty Bermond, Geraldine Ray, Phyllis Everett, Martha Farrls, Betty Sawyers.

Creative Writing To the average student a course in Creative Writing is nothing more than a haven for the lunatic fringe, a chance for the screwy intelligentsia to mingle and de- velop each other's insanity. But beyond this vague vision of genius prancing about the room in satin ballet slippers lies a world of mystery and confusion. What do they do, these fifteen or twenty individuals who run about the room, tearing each other apart? Are they Cannibals. intellectuals, or merely morons? probably the latter since the course re- quires no textbooks, examinations, or daily assignments. But those few mis- guided souls who enroll in Creative VVrit- ing execting to loaf don't remain to finish out the first six weeks. They learn to their surprise that inspiration doesn't come from sitting around and gazing into the blue. Inspiration means only one thing, the ability to roll up your sleeves, sharpen your pencil, dig deep for ideas and begin. You write one line, cross it out and begin Amateur 'Psgchologists Sixty-six again. You chew your pencil and claw the paper in frenzy, but you don't give up. You don't always produce, but that's not important. The big thing is that by at- tempting you have grown and matured. Our new world is going to refuse to put up with straiight laced and bigoted minds, but that world is going to have its price tag marked high. VVe can't have it unless we learn to be more understanding and tolerant. To attain our shiny ideals we're going to need thinkers and leaders, persons not wholly satisfied with the status quo, persons who have failed and triumphed, who have raged and suffered. VVe've come a long way from the English teacher who frowned upon the use of a damn or kept t.he high school boy in after school because he chose to write out his feelings toward the girl who sat be- hind him. Enlightenment means more than straight thinking and low stupid re- serve preached by standard textbooks, it means learning to live, and grow. The invaluable something gained from a course in writing might be called Uunderstaiidingn but lhat's putting it mild- ly. We learn how to be amateur psy- chologists, at least we make a valiant- at- tempt at feeling and sympathizing with the other fellow. 1 QQSX P, rz,y,t,cf..,, 7,,o.,U we Y., S-,,M,4 Q6 .,L..M..wa fA'-:wth-W Cv yft YZ., :2,4..s.,2,.4., .

Stoge Crew Scenery, lighting, and general management of the stage, this year, has been successfully handled by th stage crew. These boys are a peppy bunch who do very much to further the achievements of all who participate in assembly activities. The crew has various activites, rangng from the moving of chairs, tables, and other stage property to making scenery for plays and skits. This alert group is especially tested during assembly performances. Dur- ing the plays they are simultaneous- ly pulling curtains, snapping light switches, and moving property with the speed of a trained athlete. Another energetic and necessary member is the boy who takes charge of the public address system. A gre-at deal depends upon his adaptability to the particular mo- ment at hand. Motion Picture Operotors Natural science, social science, English, and constructive arts films are but a few of the educational films shown by the above motion picture operators. These boys have been under the helpful guidance and sponsorship of Miss Vita Slater. They have indeed served their sfhool well in so far as they have brought enjoyment to all classes who attended the showings of var- ious films. The films were shown in accordance with the subject be- ing taught in the respective classes. After each showing the teacher grades the film and specifies whether or not she wishes the film to be shown to her classes next year and the time when she wants it shown. This is a self teaching organiza- tion with the members teaching each other. After approximately 50 hours of projection work, they are awarded a certificate by the school. The students who have been out- standing in their duties were: Bill Seidel and Shirley Patt who have Worked hard issuing passes and checking the operators hours. Bill Payne was in charge of mailing the films back to the companies. Bud Phillips was appointed to the posi- tion of Chief Operator.

The Choir is composed of forty mem- bers. Regardless of the fact that boys are concerned with war preparatory subjects. more boys are enrolled this year than ever before, Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club has participated in one very effective program at Central this year. Beautiful background has been provided on the stage and was an effective setting for the Glee Club in the Christmas Program as the Glee Club marched down the aisles in their white robes These forty members of the Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Mynatt Breiden- thal. have appeared also in programs at various schools and churches.

Our Orchestre The post-war world will call for many students with musical talents. Central's 1943-44 orchestra is composed of sixly-five earnest musicians. This group has labor- ed long to bring about the perfection they have obtained. musical Art 'Exalts Spirit of Democracg Seventy-four The students have enjoyed their work very much this year, and Mr. Mynait Breidenthal commended them for their ex-Y cellent cooperation and great interest in their work. Perhaps no other school activ- ity has done so much toward building up student morale as the splendid work of the orchestra under the able direction of Mr. Breidenthal. It has been said that music is the universal language and cer- tainly it is the one medium, the common ground upon which we can all meet and give expression to our finer natures.

Our Bond The band, under the expert leadership of Mr. Mynatt Breidenthal, was composed of eighty members this year. Through their enthusiasm and integrity they have accomplished a great deal during the past year and have been one of Central's most helpful organizations. Their spring con- cert, given in the auditorium Sunday, March 5, 1944, highlighted their musical endeavor. The complete band participated in this concert and their brilliant blue uni- forms with gold braid trim drew a great deal of attention. Concert Master this year is James Hay- ward and Student Director is Robert Lind- say. They both have done a great deal toward the progress of the band this year. Some of the various activities which the band participated in the past year were: all football games, parades, R. 0. T. G. parades, and several assemblies.

In former years, the Shield and Spear was an honorary club and membership was open to every- one in Pt. O. T. C. who made an average grade and showed a certain amount of ability. The past three years found it a club exclusive for officers. The second semester Shield and Spear officers are: Commander, Tommy Wileyg Vice-Commander, Arthur Rothg Adjutant, Stewart Lambersg Chaplain, John Wilken- ingg and Sergeant-at-Arms, Bob Myers. R. O. T. C. . The training and instruction which the R. 0. T. C. cadets at Central have received during the past year will provide an excel- lent, basic military background for better understanding of the military problems which will confront them in the post-war world. For the last thirteen successive years, through the untiring efforts of the cadets, Central's Pt. 0. T. C. unit has been rated as an honor school in the Seventh Corps Area, The strenuous physical fitness pro- gram which was imposed upon the cadets through this country's participation in the present war will prepare them with sound minds and bodies for entrance into the post-war world. The pre-induction train- ing offered through the R. O. T. C. courses given at Central will stimulate their inter- ests in post-war military action.

S. Navy. i943-44 Footboll History The 1943-44 football season found Coach Fritz Cronkite confronted with the task of building practically a new squad. We salute Coach Cronkite who built a team that played fine football and tied for the city championship. Central went into the first game with a comparatively green squad and the re- sult was a G to 6 tie with Savannah. The second game found Central drop-- ping a close one, 12 to 6 in Springfield's favor. Lafayette was next in the Indian's path. Central narrowly missed a victory. being ahead 12 to O at the half. However, in the last half Lafayette's passing attack went into action, and they won the game in the last few seconds, 14 to 12. After holding a 7 to 6 lead at the con- clusion of the third quarter the Indians lost to North Kansas City, 12 to 7. The fifth game was played on a water soaked field against a powerful Topeka squad. The final score, Topeka 25, Cen- tral 0. In the second Intra-City clash of the year the Indians swamped a favored Christian Brothers team, 19 to 0. The lone trip of any distance was made to Joplin where the Indians met probably its toughest opponent of the whole year. The Indians ended what looked like a poor season in a blaze of glory by defeat- ing a previously unbeaten Benton team, 19 to 14. The Central line outcharged Ben- ton throughout the entire game and the Central backs gained 222 yards by rushing to Benton's 66.

Charles Scarlett, who ran the high hurdles, was anchor man in the Medley Relay and Central's only pole vaulter for the last three years, joined the Marines. There is a possibility that Roger Grun- wald, Central's current all-around athlete, will be lost to professional baseball before the track season opens. Grunwald was Central's best weight man last year and also was outstanding in the dashes. De- spite these losses, there are still five letter men. Bob Fraser will run the high hurdles and will probably be the Indians main stay in the field events. John Daly will replace Grunwald in the weights, Jim Hayward will run the mile. Bob Blankenship will show in the 440, and Bill Ruoff, a sopho- more, the dashes. Coach Fritz Cronkite has not planned his meets, but included somewhere in the program will be five duals, one with each of the city schools, one with Savannah, and one with Pickett. Plans are also be- ing made for a four-state meet to be held at Central Stadium under lights. At this time efforts are being made by the Mis- souri State High School Athletic Associa- tion to arrange dates satisfactory to teams from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa high schools. ' There will he no state indoor meet, however, there will be a state outdoor meet to which Central will send as many rep- resentatives as are capable of making a good showing. The requirements for earning a HC are now relatively light. A first place in a dual meet, or a total of ten points throughout the whole season will letter any track hopeful. With this inducement, Coach Cronkite had a large turn-out for the initial meeting, Monday, March 13.

Moc ond Zim Miss Madeline McDonald, and Miss Verna Zimmerman, who replaced Miss Jessie Jutten, now serving in the armed forces, have Worked hard and diligently to make this an outstanding year in girls sports. Sports play an important part in the life of each Central girl. The honor of re-. ceiving a HC letter and HC pin gives each girl something to work for. Sports teach the girls how to give and receive com- mands, how to obey, how to coordinate themselves with other players, and to co- operate in the attainment for a given end. All this has been accomplished here at Central this year through the untiring ef- forts of Miss McDonald, Miss Zimmerman and through the full cooperation of the students, G. A. A. Board Each spring the members of the Girls' Athletic Association elects for the follow- ing year the G. A. A. Board, composed of the officers and managers of the various sports offered at Central. It is indeed an honor to become a member of this govern- ing body in G.A.A. work. The leadership is what makes Central's G. A. A. so outstand- ing. This board regulates one of the most important and one of the largest clubs in Central High School. The various man- agers of the after school sports do a splen- did job in organizing and carrying out the tournaments.

One of the biggest tournaments in many years was held at Central, with more than two-hundred fifty girls participating. With the help of the fifth period leader- ship class who assisted in officiating and coaching, Virginia Howard, manager, made this an outstanding season of volley- ball. Senior Ill captained by Lorene Kel- tcli, won the championship from Senior Il captained by Eleanor Bridenthal, by winning the required two out of three games. Hockey Senior ll, captained by Elaine Moore, and Senior II, captained by Betty Colburn, are co-champs of a most unusual and ex- citing tournament. The girls had the hon- or of having Miss Jessie Jutten, former physical education instructor, now a Lieu- tenant in the Marine Corp, officiate at the final game, During her brief visit at Gen- tral, Lieutenant Julien drilled the girls in the manner customary in the Marinel Corps. Because the rules designate that no over- time period is to be played, the champion- ship game ended by a score of 2-2 at the final gun.

A Red Cross life saving class is also conducted as a regular part of the swimming program. Dorothy Lucas was the capable manager of this sport. Girls Sport 'Geams Ninety-six BosketboH A well planned and a well managed tournament was carried out through the cooperation of the girls, the manager, Bet- ty Colburn, and the faculty.

Mirium Hotch- kiss was captain of the winning Senior III, and Marilyn Hall was captain of the losing Junior X.

Bowhmg The Recreation Club was the scene of many happy Wednesday after'- noons and Saturday mornings. This year a smooth rolling 'tournament was com- pleted through the able leadership of the howling' manager, Larraine Mattson. Rhythm, coordination and confidence in one's self, all go to make a successful bowl- er. More than one-hundred seventy-five girls competed for the individual champ- ionship and the teams competed for the team championship. Barbara Elliott was captain of the winning team, with Vir- ginia Collins, Beverly Randall, and Lar- raine Mattson as her teammates. Soccer Soccer, a game more popular with the girls of former years, was played only by the freshmen this year. With the assist- ance of the fifth period leadership class, Miss Verna Zimmerman conducted a Round Robin Tournament, in which over forty girls participated. This sport is played on the grassy lawn in front of the school in the late fall. Strong legs, a good runner, and a clear thinker are some of the qualifications of a good player. Peggy Babcock was captain of the winning Freshman HI team, and Sue Lechler was captain of the losing Freshman ll team.

Archery This club, sponsored by Miss Mary Myers and with the membership opened to both boys and girls, proved to be an out- standing club of the year. During the fall and the spring this group set up their tar- get outdoors every evening after school and learned to become good archers. Be- cause of the fire hazards connected with having the straw in the school building, no practice could be held during the winter season. Marion Harter proved to be the best archer among the boys, and Lois Gor- deri was the outstanding archer among the gir s. Ninety-eight Bosebcll This season of baseball was one of much interest to us all. Throughout the season a. great deal of competition was shown and excellent games were played each night after school. True sportsman- ship and fair play prevailed through the entire season. Bad weather kept the tour- nament play behind schedule, but the final game was played just before the close of school. Junior II won the championship from the sophomores by a close margin. It was very unusual to have a sophomore team competing in the finals rather than a senior team.
