The growth of Pueblo and many of its industries can be attributed directly to the water supply and irrigation facili- ties of this river. A . The Arkansas is literally the fountain of the great farming area from Puebldhto Little Rock, Arkansas. And being such, it greatly affects the lives of those' living there. Not only is the Arkansas river of commercial Value, but it has a unique beauty. lt cannot be described as having blue waves nor silvery tints, for its beauty lies in its power. ' ln l.92l the Arkansas went on a rampage, flooding the region, but Pueblo recovered quickly and built a newer and greater city. During this period of re- construction, Central high served as one of the headquarters for the relief work. Because of the river's nearness, power, and beauty, the students of Central cannot help feeling the importance of this stream and its part in their lives. As Pueblo grows, and the Arkansas becomes more important in the growth of the West, the citizens of Pueblo and the students of Central high can indeed be proud of this gift of nature. lfllllll2lllS Oflicials Student Representauves Faculty Guidance Curriculum CLASSES .

In his comparatively few years at Central he has coached our football team to the.State Championship and at the same time carried on as an understanding and sincere teacher. Because Coach Ciray embodies the stafT's idea of the ideal Central teacher it is a pleasure to award him the dedi- cation. 1 ll , Q 4'- 1. Q.. ' ft '--uf - .. 1 ' k A Zi, 1k 'f'Ja,f,g.f.. R , '- ..

It is personnel work which attempts to fit the school's offerings to the needs of each particular student, With a View to his physical, emotional, and social Well- being. lt is a continuation of the program begun in the elementary school and carried on in the junior high school. This program encourages self-analysis on the part of students in order to discover and correct their short-comings. Guidance in the high school includes individual as Well as group guidance. Individ- ual counselling is done by teachers and the principal, but especially by the girls' and boys' advisers, whose offices are located in rooms 5 and 6. Here can be found the most extensive vocational pam- phlet library in the state, and large numbers of stu- dents use these materials during study periods to discover just what qualifi- cations and training are needed in various careers. Social adequacy is a subject near to the average high school student's heart and the books and pam- phlets giving advice and hints on such development are much in demand. ln- dividual social and emo- tional problems are dis- cussed in the confidential atmosphere of these offices. Everyone is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of desirable personality traits, personal grooming, and proper attitudes: accordingly, a part of this program is to help young people to develop poise and emotional maturity. Educational planning is a big part of the guidance set-up, and pupils' programs are worked out in line with their special interests and abilities as Well as their vocational plans. College catalogues and all sorts of additional information concerning higher insti- tutions are available, so that no high school student need worry about not qualifying for his chosen college. W' Sllllll!lllS Sllllly Slllllill SlIlEllCl!S, lflIlQllillIl!S The study of languages plays an important part in the curriculum of the Central high student. The most important, however, is English of which three years are required The fourth year is optional, being taken mainly by those students who plan to attend college, In the f1rst and second years English usage and general literature make up the course of study. American literature and creative composition are studied by third-year pupils, while fourth-year students study English literature and English essentials. In speech and dramatics, branches of the English department, pupils gain experience in public speaking, acting, and the Writing of speeches and plays. Most students take at least two years of one of the foreign languages, namely Latin and Spanish. ln the first year of Latin, the so-called dead language, basic principles are studied. Second-year pupils follow the Gallic wars of Caesar and his soldiers. In third year Cicero is translated, while in fourth year Virgil's Aeneid is the object of study. During the first and second years of Spanish, students obtain a background of grammar and the principles upon which the language is based. Third-year and fourth-year pupils study commer- cial Spanish and the literature of Spain. The social sciences are also important as a part of the curriculum of the student. Ancient history is studied by first-year students, followed in second year by modern European history. American his- tory and civics make up the next year's work. In the former subject the history of the United States up to the present time is studied, while in the latter students gain knowledge about our government today and how it affects them and their lives. Psychology and sociology, two other l social sciences, are of interest to many Cen- tralites. In the first half of the year the social problems of the day are studied in sociology, while in the second semester, students become psychologists and study people, their actions, and the reasons for these actions.

In biology, plants, animals, and insects are studied. The study of the human body and the way in which it works are a large part of the year's work. Physics is the study of the physical world, including such phenomena as heat, light, sound, and electricity. Chemistry stu- dents study about chemical elements and compounds and their various uses. Their work includes experiments in the laboratory and visuals. Commercial subjects are among the most popular with Centralites. Of these subjects typing is favored by persons taking business courses and also those taking other courses, because things which are learned in both years are of value to those who are planning to enter walks of life other than the business world as well as those who plan business oc- cupations. In the first year, students learn the fundamentals of typewriting, while in sec- ond year more advanced principles are learned. Also in the second year each pupil has eX- perience in mimeographing. Another subject which is of value to everyone is bookkeeping, Three years of this course are offered to students. Here methods of keeping books for a business and personal budgeting are studied. Commercial law, commercial geography, business arithmetic, and shorthand are other subjects which are of value to the student who is preparing for a business vocation. Four years of mathematics are offered. This includes iirst-year algebra and geometry, which are necessary for entrance into colleges. Advanced algebra, offered to third-year stu- dents, includes more advanced principles. which are of value to the student who plans to enter the engineering field or another in which higher mathematics is necessary. In the first semester of fourth-year solid geometry is given, while in the second half trigonom- etry is the course of study. These are also necessary for future engineers and mathe- maticians. Home economics courses are of interest to many Central girls. Cooking and sewing are the principal courses. In sewing, various garments are made, while in cooking, foods and ways in which to prepare them are studied. Several interesting courses may be found in the mechanical fleld. In printing, various printed matter such as programs and calendars are prepared. An important service which this class offers is that of printing the Central High Times for its many readers. In me- chanical drawing. budding young architects draw up plans for various buildings. Future carpenters learn to make articles which are of a practical nature in woodwork. In the elec- tric shop, theories of electricity are studied, and the principles are put into practice. Machine shop teaches pupils the methods with which to run shop equipment.

Klein, Cwarrett, Hubbs, Gordon, and Streamer were the '39 and '40 leaders of the Class of '42. Several football players and basketeers came from this class. Christmas pageant, Freshman mixer and numerous other activities comprise the record of the students who in September, 1939, entered Central high. Many members of the class of '43 received numerals or letters for participation in basketball, football, track, and other sports. They were represented also in the scholastic ac- tivities of the school placing three members on the team. All the Central high students donned the school colors on the annual Blue and White day when the outstanding students in scholarship and athletics were recognized. Senior leaders during '39 and '40 were Foley, Parker, NVillianxs. and Johnson. This year's junior class achieved high honors under Morris, Musso, and Formica.

One of the aforementioned roll representatives, Arlene Whelan, was Cen- tral high's representative in the national i'Smile Girl contest. On Kid day all the seniors decked themselves out in clothes more appro- priate to kindergarten than to the dignified seniors who wore them. On Martha Washington day the senior girls powdered their hair and ap- peared in clothes their great, great grandmothers might have worn. The seniors secured more berths on scholarship team than any other class. Also securing a good representation on the team was the junior class. In addition to its other activities the Class of '41 discovered that it had more students in ROTC than any other class and that all the ROTC sponsors but two were junior class members. ,ij Directing this energetic class in its activities were Edson, Colon, Palko, Coughlin, Shirley, Zbacnik, Dremel, Drain, Formico, Pope, Morris, Talbot, and Francis. Although many seniors were in the contest the annual DAR American history prize was won by Lydia de Leon, a junior. Sophomore class members Devon, M,c,,l,,s,,, were active in Catsclan, the school-pep organization, and other school clubs and organiza- tions.

The paper had several changes in it this year, changes of make-up and a few new features among them, but as a whole it re- mained the same. The paper, like any paper or organiza- tion, has its so-called officers. These are changed at the end of the semester. For the first half year Morise Weindling and Phyl- lis Denton were the editors-in-chief of their classes. Albert Keithley and Jeanne Hirsch were news editors, Analee Titman and James Sakaley took charge of the feature department and Andrew Dorazio and Ken- dall Schwab handled the sports. Kendall Schwab and William Reese also wrote a sport column in every issue. Members in charge at the second quarter were Dorothy Gallaher and Albert Keith- ley, Helen Ponder and Wendell Culbert- son, Bonnie Jean Easter and Dorothy Bab- ish, Kendall Schwab and William Reese.

The performance, which was under the direction of Vito N. Romans, was exceptionally good and was well received by a large audience. Each in the cast of 19 portrayed his separate character with surprisingly great ease and smoothness. 2 S in it we Wet PHY Wm taken bv' Those who scored a hit with their acting in the play were: Jack MacKay as A'Grandpa Vanderhoffg Carol Barnett as Penelope: Dorothy Babish as Rheba: Mary Jane Marrinan as Essie: Carl Musso as Ed: Frank Krasovec as Boris Kolepkhov: Robert DeVore and Betty Gotshall as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, Adelbert Briggs as their son, Tony: Chester McBride as Paul: Betty Lois Jensen as Alice: J.

You Can't Take it llfith You is the story of the complicated life of a Sycamore family, a family that does just as it pleases. Alice starts the ball rolling when she falls in love with Tony Kirby, son of the owner of Kirby and Co. Tony comes to see Alice and is surprised at the individuality of each of the family. Alice's mother Writes plays because of a typewriter left her by mistake eight years ago. Her father, Paul, is interested only in making fireworks with Mr. Depinna, their former ice man who came one day and just stayed.

Take it With You, a three-act comedy by HEISI Ill Slfllllll'S PPESIJIIIS lEllll'S lllllllllflill lililSSlE Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic, i'Little Women, furnished the theme for the play given by the senior class, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Sprengle, on May l0. The story, which centers around the love of a mother for her four daughters and theirs for her, has been popular for six generations among children and adults alike. Conflicts and emotions of the March family are dramatized as the unforgettable characters live on the stage: boyish, lovable Jo, always caring for her family and sacrificing for those dearest to her, quiet, gentle Beth, unconsciously wielding a great influence on unruly Jo and all those around her: charming Amy, exasperating Jo with her childish ways: Meg, the eldest, lending an air of dignity to the March household: and wise Mrs. March fMarmeeJ, always ready to give sound advice to her daughters, who worship her. as Jn and Laurie. The play affords a variety of qualities-romance, comedy, and pathos. Laurie, the boy next door to the Marches. is the chief romantic figure, but can't decide whether his heart belongs to Jo or to Amy. Meg and John Brooke meet opposition to their wedding plans from Aunt March, who claims that Brooke does not have the social standing of a desirable suitor. The cast of the play included: Kathryn Freed as Jo: Dorothy England as Beth, Beverly Graddy as Amy: Margaret Abel as Meg: Frances Henigsman as Marmee: Josephine Willour as Aunt March: Georgia May Clarke as Hannah, the maid: Frank Foley as Mr, March: Ellis Akin as Laurie: William Reese as John Brooke: Robert McGovern as Mr. Lawrence, Laurie's grandfather: J.

They deserve much wide-spread work in the many of the students fail to Various kinds of posters are made to advertise the different events, happenings, and campaigns of the school. Norman Remple, Donovan Schrum and Donald Sutton are responsible for many fine pos- ters throughout the year. Much time is de- voted by the art department to the dra- matic activities of the school. The back- ground of rocks in the second scene in this year's operetta and the Stage fl21tS Of the vodevil are evidences of this work. Bonnie Jean Easter is largely responsible for this work, In the social activities, the art department has had a hand also. The place cards and the decorations of the major banquets are the work of the art students. The work of two art students, James Muramoto and Mike Papish, is evident in the theme drawings in this hook. The Central High Times is indebted to Bill Sharp an art student, for his chalk plate drawings and cartoons. This department does not aim to make artists of students, but to give them a het- ter appreciation of the better things, so that they may be able to select attractive clothes and objects for the home, as well as an appreciation of attractive civic build- ings. lt does give the student of art a solid back- ground on the fundamentals of all phases of art and, if in the future, the student centers his efforts on art, he is prepared to enter his chosen field of endeavor.

If the various organizations had to pay for the advertising of pep dances, shows, or other events, there would be little, if any, advertising done. Yet the art department performs this and other services at no charge. Under the guidance of Miss Joysa Gaines, art in- structor, the art department has upheld its responsi- bility in school activities very well. Page Fifty-eight ' vt- Pl Encourages lfl'EilllVl! lll!Sll1llS The use of a new medium in art has brought out much of the talent of the stu- dent. This new medium, called Frescol, is applied with felt brushes and all the hues of the rainbow and more can be produced by the combination of these colors. Many beautiful still life paintings were done in Frescol by Virginia Shephard. Others who have excelled in the use of this new me- dium are: Margaret Pope, Bonnie .lean Easter, Helen Ponder, Domitilia Acuna. Emma Marie Stephenson, Naomi Black. Virginia Neil, Gwen Wall, and Jennie Adele Wasson. One of Virginia Shephard's beautiful still life paintings hangs in room 12 as a gift from the art department to the Span- ish classes. Miss Nlary C. McNally, girls' adviser, is the recipient of Virginia Neil's framed still life painting, which was pre- sented to her by the Girls' cabinet. This year an art exhibit of the Practical Drawing company was sponsored by the Keating Junior High school. The Girls' cabinet and art students of Central high sold enough tickets to the exhibit to be able to purchase a picture. The name of the picture is 'AThe Chief's Blanket and it is hung in the school library. o Picture: Virginia Shephard views her work with thc model.

Emma Marie Stephenson won honorable mention in the AAUW contest with a landscape. This contest is sponsored by the American Association of University Women. The ultimate winner of this contest receives a six weeks' summer scholarship to the Fine Arts center in Colorado Springs. One of the outstanding contest- ants will receive a scholarship offered by the Denver university art department. The judging of the Hnal work was done in Colorado Springs in May and in- cluded entrants from all Colorado schools. Much creative work and individuality is expressed by advanced art students in working with the life portraits, applied design, and clay modeling. Dress designing oc- cupies the attention of a few girls. Dorothy England is the notable one as she has developed a style of her own in dress designing. Many of her designs are quite origi- nal and drawn with much imagination and individual- ity. Top Picture: Margaret Pope viewing her creative work.

Nllllfll NlllSlE One of Central's most active groups is the a cappella choir under the direction and supervision of Miss Jeane Fillingham. The chorus is chosen mostly from the glee clubs and in order to be eligible a student must have a good voice, some musical knowledge, and be a junior or a senior. A cappella has entertained the student body with several assemblies during the '39-'40 season. In addition it has added to Central's line reputation by singing in va- rious parts of the state and to civic groups here in Pueblo. During the Christmas season this talented body participated in the Christmas pageant held annually at the Municipal auditorium. All of the schools, including the grades and junior high, in District No. 20, were represented. The Rotary Club enjoyed the choir on December 20 and in March this musical group sang for the American Legion. Each year the graduating class gets a cappella's services at the commencement and baccalaureate exercises. The junior choir sings at baccalaureate and the seniors Who are graduating provide musical entertainment at commencement. On October 17 the choir gave its nrst student assembly of the year. The boys were dressed in suits and the girls in formals. ln the January 30 assembly they Wore the distinguishing blue a cappella robes. The finale of the operetta was given on March 25. In conjunction with the frosh and sophomore glee clubs Central's War- blers presented a vocal assembly on May 7 which ended in a community sing. This energetic body sang in the All- State Chorus of the Colorado Choral and Vocal Solo festival under the direction of Mr. Walter Aschenbrenner, famed director of the world-renowned Chicago Sym- phonic Choir.

Representing the fairer sex in the competition Eleanor Lancendorfer and Patricia Bludworth, both sopranos, sang. Two trios composed of Mary Jane Sebree, Clara Caldwell, and LaVerne Dakin, and Norma Jeanne Chostner, Dorothy Babish, and Pauline Mayber also competed. The choir as a Whole was entered and sang two numbers. The various competitions lasted three days, April 17, 18, and 19. On April 18 the whole choir was merged into a massed chorus containing all the Class A choirs in southern Colorado. Under the direction of Mr. Aschenbrenner the com- bined choruses gave a concert of which many of the numbers they sang were arranged by the director. Some of the a cappella students also had the pleasure and experience offered by Mr. Aschenbrenner at the Greeley Choral conference on November 17 and 18. A fitting motto that applies to a cappella is that of the All-State Chorus and Vocal Solo Festival: Not to Win a prize or to defeat an opponent, but to pace each other on the road to excellence. A cappella practice together every Tuesday in room 209. The boys meet Mon- day and Wednesday: the girls on Thursday and Friday. Eleanor Lancendorfer is the accompanist. In the way of technical credit the boys and girls of a cappella get 3,f1O of a credit each year: but they get whole-hearted credit the entire year from a grate- ful student body.

Norwegian Nights, a story of Norway's great composer, Grieg, was presented by the Wildcat warblers March 8, under the direction of Miss Jeane Fillingham. Lucille Kuntz, Adelbert Briggs, Walter Anderson, Abbott Williams, Doris Murga- troyd, Robert Kushnir, Billy Burkett, and Robert Torbet sang their way into the good graces of all who heard them. Also helping to make this production outstand- ing were the speaking leads, those who appeared in the unusual dream act, and the chorus. The invaluable aid of many of Central's faculty was also secured, The second act was novel in that no speaking parts were used. Only the music was heard while the action took place in pantomine. Summarizing the plot briefly we discover what the operetta was about. Edvard Grieg, a struggling young musician, is devotedly in love with Nina, who is the inspiration for much of his music. His poverty moves him to seek a pension from the government. His agent, Otter, is sent to negotiate for it. Herman Hagerup, Nina's father, is opposed to the courtship of Grieg and Nina and sponsors another suitor for her hand-a certain English opera singer, who is in Norway studying and who also is endeavoring, through Hagerup, to obtain a pen- sion. Herr Bjornson, an old friend of Grieg, is visiting the composer. Grieg long stirred by the beauty of the out-lying mountains, speaks of his intention of going out into them to formulate his dreams into music. In the course of his stroll, he grows tired and lies down into a cool glen to rest. Sleep overtakes him, and from his ensuing dream the Peer Gynt music takes form. He returns and tells of his ex- perience. In the midst of a festival given in honor of Grieg, Otter returns to report that the pension is granted. Grieg is able to marry Nina, and she continues as his inspiration through life. Top Row, Lcff ro Right- R. Mclntyre, R. Torbct, XV. Clark, L. Matej- cic, R. Stapleton, F, Foley, P. Hanson, R. Dean.

Christmas carols and scenes of the birth of Jesus Christ known throughout the world were reen- acted. The Christmas pageant is the only tradition of Central high which the fresh- men participate in and produce by themselves. A candlelight processional of the freshman mixed choir dressed in red andtwhite surplices sang HO Come All Ye Eaithfulf' The choir also sang Sanctus and Alle- luia before the eight tableaux were presented. The readings of the prophecies from Isaiah and the Christmas story from St. Matthew, St. Luke, and St. John were given by Richard Klein and Paul Ireland alternately. After each reading a colorful tableau was portrayed while the choir sang. The eight parts in which the pageant was portrayed are: The Annunciation, Mary Visits Elizabeth, The Shepherds Keep Watch, The Wise Men See the Star, The Nativity, The Adoration of the Shepherds, The Adoration of the XVise Men, and The Light that Lighteth Every Man That Cometh into the World. ln the candlelight recessional the choir sang, Hark, The Herald Angels Sing, and Joy to the World.

Is Une uf Best in Stateg l lleeeives Superior Hating in llentesl Central's band deserves recognition as one of the most loyal supporters of Cen tral High school. The members of th b d 1 e an give their time willingly at the foot ball games for both students' enjoyment and to add color and pep at the games. One of the most diflicult and colorful demonstrations ever attempted at any foot- ball game was the airplane formed at one of the night games. The members of the band fastened flashlights on their hats and covered the end of the flashlight With blue crepe paper. The ends of the batons of the majorettes were lighted in a similar manner: when they were twirled they formed a spinning propeller of the plane. The band also deserves a hand for their participation in the pep assemblies, and for their help in promoting a loyal feeling toward the football team and the school. At the present time there are sixty members in the band. Next year the band will be enlarged to seventy pieces. Students acquire their experience in the HB band. When the students have gained enough experience in the B band, they are advanced to the A band. The vacancies are filled in this manner.

The clarinets, saxaphones. basoons, and oboes make up the wood- wind section: and the kettle, snare, and base drums make up the percussion section. A part of each class period is devoted to tuning the instruments. A perfect tone is necessary to bring out a well balanced harmony. The band makes an average of forty public appearances a year. The band meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week. In the fall part of the time is devoted to marching and perfecting formations used between halves at the foot- ball games. In the spring the band presents two night concerts. The band is assembled in front of the high school building. In addition to the concerts the band gives two assemblies during the school year.

The superior rating is the highest award. The band has a limited time in which to prepare the chosen number. If a band receives a superior rating in the State contest, the band is entitled to enter the Na- tional Music contest. This year the National contest was held in Kansas City, Mo. The drum major and the majorettes give the band a professional appearance and add splendor and pomp when the band is marching. Next year two new maj- orette uniforms will be purchased. The right to wear these uniforms will be com- petitive. Baton twirling is now a part of the physical education for girls. The band room has become a trophy hall. On the wall of the band room hang various trophies. The Al Kaly Shrine awarded the band a cup for marching. A large plaque, designating a rating in the National contest last year hangs there. Two certificates show that the band won a superior rating in marching and playing abil- ity, the first that Central ever won in a State Music contest. This year the band is going to buy one oboe, one tenor saxaphone, and two bari- tones.

Central High school's orchestra furnishes the evening entertainment at the school plays, the operetta, the vodevil, and for special performances, such as baccalaureate services and commencement exercises. For the commencement exercises the orchestra plays a slow, dignified march for the seniors when they walk down the aisle to their places on the platform. There are 46 members in this year's orchestra. Next year there may be sixty members. The string instruments make up the majority of instruments in the orches- tra. The brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments come next. The orchestra presented two music assemblies this year. In the first assembly the orchestra presented a varied program of marches, waltzes, novelty numbers, and selections from operas. Along with this program, solos were played on the baritone, flute, violin, and others. The second assembly was for the underclassmen. This assembly was to furnish the orchestra with experience, and as a warm up for the State contest. The program presented was the contest numbers and soloists. This year is the first year that the Central High orchestra has entered a State Music contest. The contest for the orchestras was held on Thursday, April 19. Many members of the band make up a majority of members in the orchestra. The only persons in the orchestra who are not in the band are those who do not play a band instrument. In this case it is the stringed instruments or the violins. Some of those who play violins play other instruments in the band. The members of the orchestra do not have special or designated uniforms. When the orchestra makes a public appearance, the boys usually wear dark suits, and the girls wear formals. The orchestra meets fifth hour on Tuesdays and Fri- days of each week. Part of each hour is devoted to the most important part of playing, tuning the instruments. Vacancies in the orchestra are filled from the first and second chairs from the various sections of the band. Mr. Shelly Keltner. director of Central's band band and orchestra.

Parlapiano The National Forensic league is the debate equivalent for the National Honor society. The purpose of this national debating society is to promote the interests of interscholastic debate, oratory and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellow- ship among the students of many different schools throughout the country. In order to be a member of this league a student must have scored twenty points at some time in league debate. When once elected to this society there are three de- grees the student can attain-that of Honor, requiring fifty points for attainment: Excellence, requiring one hundred points: and the topmost niche of honor, Distinc- tion, having for its requirements one hundred and fifty points. Those belonging to this society were David William Reese, Harold Burch. Morise Weindling, William McClain, James Sakaley, and Joseph Parlapiano. Being organized primarily to encourage debating within the school, the Alpha Delta Sigma society has done just that during the past year. The society is an or- ganization wherein public speaking is practiced. The meetings of this organization were held twice a month, a banquet being held once a month. At these meetings various topics of national, international and imme- diate importance were discussed by David William Reese, David Morton, Gilbert Cain, LeRoy Cain, Morise Weindling, Benny Weindling, Ellis Akin, Sid Johnson, William Dillon, Robert Klein, William McMillen, Charles Streamer, Robert Kush- nir, James Parker, Andrew Dorazio, and Carl Calloway, who were the members of this organization. The ofiicers who were chosen at the beginning of the year were James Sakaley, president: William McClain, vice-president: and Joseph Parlapiano, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Leo G.

Schar- ton who managed debate for the first time this year. The debaters earn a certain number of points for each debate in which they par- ticipate, and extra points are given for winning the debate. They are also eligible to be voted into the National Forensic league which corresponds to the National Honor society but is limited to debaters. The squad held several practice meets at Centennial and other schools. There they obtained the needed practice and self-confidence which are necessary to a debater, but the main benefit derived from these practice meets was the criticism of the judges. The team took part in the Pueblo Junior College Debate tournament February 2 and 3, and also participated in the Greeley State Teachers' college tournament early in March. All teams entered in this tournament participated in four rounds of debates March 2. Those winning three out of four debates were entered into the final elimination round to determine the championship. They also took part in the regional tournament which was held at Centennial on March 9. The debaters went to Colorado Springs on March 23 to enter the Colorado College Debate tournament and captured third place honors. At all tournaments Central's team showed to a good advantage. The question for debate this year was Resolved, That the Federal Government should own and operate railroads. The team was prepared to debate either the negative or affirmative on this question. Morise Weindling was captain of the debate squad this year. Those who participated in these debates were William Mc- Clain, James Sakaley.

Waiting was the title of her essay. The winning oration, entitled Crime, was written and delivered by Carl MIISSO. Other finalists and their topics were Harry Milhan, Democracy at S-taken: Clyde Everly, i'The Dawn Must Come, in the oration contest and Jacqueline Nlil- ler, Answering Advertisementsug Harriet Zink, Mr. Weather Takes the Stand : and Betty Lois Jensen, And the Ringing of the Bells. Each junior is required to submit either an essay or an oration as a part of third- year English work. Seniors may enter if they wish. Although there is no rule, it is customary for girls to submit essays and boys to enter orations. The ten best essays and the ten best orations are selected and sent to a second set of judges who eliminate half. These are judged a third time and the winning essay and oration are picked. Winners of the thirty-sixth annual Kent- ing-Corwin Essay-Oration contest were Carl Musso and Berna Else. Page Seventy Top Left: Back Row, Left to Righr: E. Brown, K. Schwab. Front Row: R. Milhan, H.

Surrounded by old issues of the Times, those students who had earned the right to be so feted, dined in style. The theme was a 'Recognition Extra of the Times. The divisions were arranged so as to represent certain sections of the paper, such as: editorial page, rotogravure section, or comic strip. Catsclan was the sponsor of the biggest pep dance of the year. And speaking of dances, this organization was also the proud sponsor of the first night dance given at this school in about 15 years. The theme of this dance was the Blue Danube. The ceiling of the gym was hung with blue cheesecloth to represent the sky, and realistic paper Howers put the finishing touch to the decorations. Carl Musso's or- chestra furnished the music and a very good time was had by all. You can look forward to more of the same. The Homecoming parade was an array of color this year. Many organizations entered floats. All were very colorful, but the GAA carried off first prize. Although sponsoring many assemblies, the most distinctive of these was the Pot of Dimes. Three cash prizes were presented. Five dollars and two dollars were given at the spin of the wheel. One dollar was given for the best act. The pep organization was completely reorganized during the past year. Instead of members being elected and then remaining mem- bers until they graduated, those who wished to join submitted their names. These names were examined by members of Catsclan, who narrowed them down. This list was then given to the separate classes who had the final vote. Only freshmen and sophomores are elected, serving for two years only. Those atuthe helm of Catsclan were Kathrine e Keating, president, five vice-presidents consisting of The Queen and her attendants ride at Home- coming in the royal coach.

Some of these societies have been functioning for twenty-five years, while others have been started more recently. All of these organizations have done many worthy things during the past year, but due to limited space, only a few of the highlights can be mentioned here. Aletheorians have always in the past given a style show for the girls. For the first time they consolidated with Hi-Y, and both organizations gave the show for the whole school. Miss Bula Leddy was the sponsor for the second year. A fashion show given only for girls was presented by the Athenian society in March. They also prepared a basket at Christmas time. The sponsor of this organ- ization was Miss Anne Pachak. An interesting assembly was presented by the Clionian society in November, at which a teacher told of her travels in Europe, and small pupils of Miss Nelda John- son danced for the enjoyment of all. This organization entered a float in the Home- coming parade and also prepared a big Thanksgiving basket. Miss Nelle Haworth was their able sponsor. , Page Eighly CLIONIANS front Row.

All Girl Reserve activities are supervised by Miss Marian Lippert, YWCA secre- tary, while faculty members directly advise the two Girl Re- serve sections. Miss Stella Grout sponsors the junior-senior group and Miss Velma Butler advises the sophomore Girl Reserves. A freshman club is formed each spring prepared to become sophomore Girl Reserves in the fall. Members not only enjoy the social opportunities and activi- ties offered by club life, but they also learn to understand better themselves and others so that they may lead broader, richer lives. Girl Reserve activties render both service and pleasure. One way in which they serve others is by donating Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets to the needy. Besides this, the group this year acted as Santa Claus at Christmas to a family of live motherless children, furnishing them With useful gifts. To promote fellowship and good will among the members, various parties and gatherings are held on many occasions. Most of the Girl Reserves func- tions are held at Central in the Trophy hall, such as the annual halloween party, the mothers' tea, and the candlelight installa- tion ceremony. However, the yearly banquet in honor of the seniors and the chili supper held at Christmas take place in the YWCA. The Girl Reserves also present an entertaining assembly each year for the school, Presidents for the year were Lyman IIEIIS' lllllll illlll HI-Y Set Speedy Pace In ctivily Hecurll The second year of Cats' club at Central has proved to be a very active one. The club, whose members are the younger boys of the school, is spon- sored by Coleman M. Herts. The activities of the club were many. The Cats won second prize in the Home- coming float contest. They presented a student vs. teacher quiz assembly- something new at Central. On May 9, a sweetheart dance was given in the gym. The Cats' club was host to 70 boys and sponsors at the fall confer- ence of the Hi-Y clubs of southern Colorado. The club sent delegates to different conferences at Canon, Kansas, Camp Crockett near Rye, and Trinidad. Trevithick and Harry Milhan. Hi-Y presented its version of Hamlet as its act in the 1940 vodcvil. Cats' club started a n rs svrt of assembly prograinfthe quiz type. Central's Hi-Y ended another successful year under the leadership of B. S. Ted- mon. The formal initiation of the members was held at a father and son banquet early in the school term. At the beginning of school, two clowns-Harry Garrett and Frank Foley-were chosen to help create a little more school spirit at the foot- ball games. At frequent dutch lunches, the Hi-Y members heard various out- side speakers. On April 3, the Hi-Y sweetheart banquet was held and on April 17, the Hi-Y entertained the men of the faculty at a dinner. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, large baskets were given to poor families. The Hi-Y club closed the year's activities with its annual picnic which turned out unusually well this year.

Another club which is of great service to Central is the Hostess club which is directed by Mrs. Blanche Taylor. Serving for various functions and presenting a play for the Girls' societies were this year's main activities. The purpose of the Business Girls' club is to instruct its members in the things that the regular business courses have not time for.

Central's game with Centennial was the deciding factor in determining the league championship. Joe Horvat, elected captain, Neelan, Papish, Giarratano, Prya- tel, Johnson, Bensik, McGovern, Milhan, Lane, and Litton, veter- ans of the 1938 State Champion- ship team, Were the returning let- termen. The coaching duties Were capa- bly handled by Arthur Ciray, James Tidwell, and George Rout. The freshman-sophomore team was coached by Mr. Rout.

At the first of the season Central was defeated in its two practice games with Rocky Ford and South Denver. The players profited from these upsets by gaining experience, confidence, and a good defense. As a result of the practice games, the Wildcats won five league games in succession. Florence, a newcomer in the league this year, was defeated by Central 32-7. Jack Neelan was voted the most valuable player in the South Central league by a poll held by the players of all the teams in the league. Neelan was made captain of the mythical All-Conference first team. Joe Horvat also placed on the first team. Philip Pryatel and Bob Lane made the second team. Central's gridiron is rather unique in comparison with other football fields in the league. The immovable bleach- ers, new sodded field, and other features add much to the beauty of the grounds. This year a per- manent press box will be built above the bleachers. On top of the press box a platform will be constructed to serve as a band stand for the band. Top. Jack Neelan, Halfbnck.

In the last two league games of the season with Centennial Bulldogs and the Trinidad Miners, the Wildcats were defeated. llll llllf llllilll At a night game at Walsenburg on October I3, and as a result of Jack Neelan's brilliant playing, Central defeated the Panthers 13-7. Neelan scored a touchdown in the second quarter and another in the fourth quarter. Bob McC1overn's conver- sion was good. Neelan's interception of a pass during the fourth quarter enabled the Wildcats to make a touchdown on the next play from the 2-yard line. The next out-of-town game was with the Canon City Tigers on October 27. The Wildcats trounced the Tigers 21-O. In the Hrst quarter the Wildcats were slow in getting started, and they did not score until the second quarter when on a reverse play Neelan went over for a touchdown. In the third quarter Central used line plays to the 20-yard line where Neelan faded back and passed to Cwiarratano for a touch- down. In the last few minutes to play in the third quarter, Neelan pulled the hid- den ball trick and scored a touchdown, McC1overn's conversions were good making the score 21-O. The last out-of-town game and the last league game of the season was on Armis- tice day with the Trinidad Miners. The Miners trounced the Wildcats 27-l2. In the iirst quarter Neelan completed a pass to Pobst, who ran for a touchdown. Mc-- Govern's conversion was blocked. In the same quarter Trinidad pushed over for a touchdown.

All of the players who earned letters this year will be back next year and will put to good use the experience that they gained this year. Coach Laurence Carlson had to build his team around Robert Pobst, the only return- ing letterman from last year's team. He made many substitutions and experimented with different combinations in trying to find a quintet that would click. The lineup at the end of the season saw Masar and Marquez at the forward posi- l tions, Pobst at center, and Nick- sich and Punshon at the guard slots. The Wildcats finished in sixth place in the South-Central league standings with three wins and nine losses. Of the thirty boys who turned out for basketball, seven received letters and ten received numerals. The seven who re- ceived C's were Pobst, Mar- quez, Nicksich, Punshon, Pac- hak, Earnest and Masar.

Central played their practice games in the high school gymnasium and played their league games at the Steel Pobst and Marquez of Central played line basket- ball all year and received their reward by placing in the ten highest scorers of the South-Central league. Pobst was sixth with 103 points and Marquez held down tenth place with 81 points. Central's B team, under the tutelage of Leo G. Scharton, developed some very promising basketball players who will push next year's returning lettermen for their positions.

The win- ners in this meet are entitled to go to the State track meet at Boulder May 25. The track team is coached by Arthur Gray, head coach. About one hundred boys turned out for this year's track squad. During the first two weeks of the season most of the time is devoted to the con- ditioning of the tracksters. This conditioning consists of calisthenics, which har- dens the muscles. This is very important because it helps to prevent injuries that might occur. Paskul Bellinger was elected captain of this year's track team. Paskul ran the 440 and 220-yard dashes.

These were George Bensik, John Carlson, Dan David, Ray Prancel, John Giarratano, Edward Henley, Charles Hitchcock, Joe Horvat, Harry Johnson, Robert Lane, Rob- ert Larson, Tom Litton, Harry Milhan, Allen McDonald, Bob McGovern, Richard Milhan, Jack Neelan, Mike Papish, Robert Pobst, and Philip Pryatel. Basketball contributed seven lettermen: Robert Pobst, Joe Marquez, John Nick- sich, Tom Punshon, William Pachak, Robert Earnest, and Robert Masar. Tracksters who made their letters are Paskul Bellinger, James XVallace, Tom Gordon, and Mike Papish, Future members who will probably earn their letters this season are Joe Marquez, Bob Urbin, Edward Washkovich, Dick McDonell, Ray Francel, Ed Emory, John Giarratano, and Joe Concialdi, Probable golf lettermen are Neale Buchanan, Robert Lane, Robert Masar, George Wilson, and Clarence Hearn. Lettermen for golf already members are James Filer and Dwain Dunlap. Lettermen from tennis are Robert Pobst and Robert Kushnir. Probable letter- men are Kendall Schwab, William Pachak, Dick Dillon, Ray Mclntyre, and Clarence Delliquadri. Oiiicers for the C club are Jack Neelan, president: Joe Horvat, vice-president: Bob McGovern, secretary, and Charles Hitchcock, sergeant-at-arms. The purpose of this club is to keep boys from wearing letters they have not earned and to promote better sportsmanship. This club was reorganized in 1937 after several years of inactivity because of lack of support. This year it has had a very successful year. A pep dance is spon- sored each year by the C club. The three yell-leaders, Beverly Graddy, Jack Hutchings, and Frank Allison are honorary members of the club. l Page One Hundred Th GAA members are, Bozrom Row: Lena Fazio, Mildred Kochevar, Stephie Zell, Marie Iiormico, Vivian Taibi, Clara Gerlanl, Carmen Moreschini, Juanita Schneider, Virginia Genova, Loretta Diodosio, Josephine Mendicello, Josephine Carlo, Edith DeSalvo.

Any Central girl may become a member of the GAA and may earn awards for after-school participation in soccer, archery, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, hit-pin-ball, deck tennis, etc. The Hrst award is a chevron which is obtained by earn- ing l50 points. Three hundred points entitles a girl to a class numeral, 450 points, to a 600 points to a Colorado State league emblem, and 750 points earned entitles a girl to the highest award, the State league pin. The GAA belongs to the Colorado State league and sends delegates to the state conference held in Boulder. The activities of the club include a chili supper, kid party, play day, school assembly, participation in the state basketball shoot, and a senior farewell picnic. The GAA won the float prize for the homecoming parade, obtained second place in the Colorado State Basketball shoot, and ran a candy con- cession at football games. The GAA, which now has sixty members, is sponsored by Miss Martha Gorder. It holds its business meetings every two weeks in room 8 and plays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. Election of officers for the club is held each semester. All of the first semester officers were reelected for the second semester. The officers were, Mildred Kochevar, First Picture: Florence Lough, junior tennis champ, and Eunice Peterson, sophomore tennis champ. Second Picture: GAA members of the Archery club take aim at the target. Third Picture: Eltie Loud, senior tennis champ, and Mary Gray, freshman tennis champ. president: Geraldine Corda, vice-president: Marie Formi- co, secretary: Lena Fazio, treasurer, Stephie Zele, his- torian: Clara Gerland and Edith De Salvo, sergeant-at- arms. The fifteen girls receiving the highest awards automati- cally become members of the Archery club, which is spon- sored by Miss Hazel Read. The girls use equipment fur- nished by the school and paint and set up their own targets. The archers shoot on Monday and Tuesday nights and hold an annual archery tournament. The girls shoot at a distance of twenty yards, thirty yards, and forty yards. Jacqueline Miller and Clara Lynn of the restricted gym class go through some fancy spinning tricks. The girls gym classes hold two tennis tournaments every year. The first, the girls gym class tournament, is held in the fall, and the second, the Central Tennis Open tourna ment, is held in the spring. Thirty-eight girls entered the fall tournament. Mary Gray was frosh champ: Eunice Peterson, sophomore, and school champ, Florence Lough junior champ, and Elfie Loud, senior champ. Rope spinning, a new sport this year, was taken up by the restricted gym classes which became very proficient in that art. lillll TEHIII FilliSllES High ill Millllll Plily The Central golf team, coached by Harlie Baker, came into its own right this year. The team participated in a dual meet with Centen- nial, a dual meet with the Pueblo Junior college, the Centennial open, the Central invitation meet, and the South-Central meet at Colo- rado Springs. The team was composed of DeWayne Dunlap, Bob Masar, Neale Buchanan, Bob Lane, Clarence Hearn, and George Wilson. Central, Centennial, Trin- idad, Colorado Springs, Canon City and Florence were the members of the South-Central golf league. Page One Hundred Five Top Row, Left to Righlr N, Buchanan tees off . . .

Bll S' ll Ill lilHSSl!S liXEI'ElSl! PIII' llllilllll The boys' gym classes were under the supervision of V. George Rout, who is new to Central this year. Boys' hygiene and health education were taught by Fred W, Huling. Mr. Rout was graduated last year from Western State Teach- ers college where he took part in varsity football and track. Last fall he was elected to act as health in- structor at Central. Besides supervising the gym classes, Mr. Rout ably handles the position of freshman foot- ball coach. This year proved to be a very active one for the gym classes with football, basketball, tumbling, wrestling, softball, and track on their schedule. The football tournament, which was held in the fall, was hard fought and filled with action. The fifth-hour sophomores, under the able leadership of Captain Stanley Krasovec, emerged victorious from the melee, Coach Rout was unable to hold a basketball tournament because of HOld Man Win- ter. The boys were able to get in some playing during class, however: boxing, wres- tling and tumbling took place in the locker room when it was too cold to go outside. Every boy was supposed to take part. In the spring softball and track were in full swing for gym classes. Track is com- paratively new for gym classes and Coach Rout devoted his time to teaching the boys the fundamentals of that sport The hygiene classes have studied personal safety in driving. They studied a set of books on driving and took a test at the end of the year. Each boy is given physical eX- aminations and is classiiied. He is required to keep a record of his physical qualities.
