ton Field. We defeated the haughty C-men, members of the 160th Class, by a score of 92-42. Our class completed the day by winning a thrilling baseball game by a ll-10 win. Great credit must be given to the Chairman of the Iunior Day Events, Hyman Leabman. At this time Abraham Ulin showed his master craftsmanship of the English language by winning the Albert H. Smythe Literature Prize. The A-B-C Prom proved a big affair for the class and received a large turn- out. All the girl friends were exhibited at the Elks' crystal ballroom to the strains of A1 Ochman's Orchestra. K. Amidst our work one day, came the sad news of the death of Professor Hagy, beloved instructor of the Physics De- partment. Of his passing we can say: Time .rlzall noi dim, our memory of him. With the Christmas holidays over, the first year of our organization terminated, and we began looking into the futureg our budding politicians had already started campaigns for the Senior Elec- tions. Future chiefs of the school pe- riodicals and other organizations were receiving promotions. And so we awaited our senior year with great expectancy and a strong desire to make good.

The class profit was at a parallel with its loss and so we came out of the benefit without gaining money or losing any of the precious quale. Harry Fleishman received the ap- pointment as Editor-in-Chief of the RECORD BOOK and immediately began the difficult task of its production. Hyman Leabman, the only remaining football varsity man for the new season, was elected captain. The team boasted a large number of our classmates and produced a fighting bunch of lads. The combined A-B-C Prom was held at the Broadwood Hotel fformerly Elksj

paignf' Famous paintings were bought to decorate the historic halls. New light- ing fixtures and the removal of lockers from the first floor gave the old institu- tion a new appearance. Truly, history repeats itself. The grid- iron lads annexed their third consecu- tive Championship and twenty-ninth straight win. This year the greatest rivalry was offered by Simon Gratz. In a hard-fought battle which ended in a 12-6 win, we gained the championship of the Public High League. But that was not enough for Bert Baron's Bad Boys, so they went and beat West Cath- olic, champs of the Catholic league, and copped a mythical City Championship. Inspired by the gridiron successes the Mermen on the Swimming team splashed to a Championship. Of note was the development of Iohnny Macionis, recog- nized as one of the best High School Swimmers in the swimming world. This year, after 15 years, the basket- ballers dribbled through an undefeated season to a championship. Then Coach Vickers' bronzed fleet- winged harriers brought a revival of last year's victory. Once started by the major sports, the minor teams took up the spirit and brought glory to their Alma Mater. For the first time in Central's history we received the Andrew Morrison Tro- phy, emblematic of the highest number of points for athletics. The members of the class were not idle. Most of us entered the various internal phases of school life. And so we brought to a close our carefree days and awaited the organization of our class in the Iunior year.

THE Iunior year found the class shrinking in quantity but gaining in the quality of our knowledge. Failure in studies and domestic difficulties con- tributed to this shrinkage in volume. But now in our third year we buckled down to class business. VVe started out right with the election of the immensely popular Professor Disharoon to serve as our class adviser. Immediately after- ward we held elections for class officers for the first year of our organized exis- tence. Those elected were: Pmridenl. .........,....... PAUL BATT Vice-Pre.n'den f. .....

The class was now functioning prop- erly. The ring committee began taking orders. Treasurer Steiner appointed Book treasurers and dues began coming in. The Class paper, the D-Scribe, made its appearance and kept us in the know with the class news. Tragedy made an untimely appear- ance and struck a hard blow in the passing of popular Professor Lloyd Knoll, pioneer in radio experiments at Central. The Class saw victory with the tradi- tional Annual Iunior Day held at Hous- V-al 20 In-V
