The inter-home room contests arranged by Miss Dailey and Mrs. Sanford have proved a great success in getting the girls to- gether. In February we had the basket-ball tourna- ments, resulting in the championship for Home Room 213. Home Room 311 and 201 coming in for second and third places. The banners for the winning teams were awarded in assembly. In March the gym exhibits kept both in- structors busy, some of the outstanding classes were Mrs. Sanford's clown dance and Miss Dailey's girls' tumbling classg these were splen- did examples of the fine training both instruc- tors gave to the pupils. The Baseball tournament started in April and the winner of the banner for first place was Home Room 213. There was no consolation series as there was not sufficient time. Miss Dailey had charge of the school base- ball team and the girls proved themselves champions. The next big thing is track The pupils who are interested in sports are drilling hard for the big meet over at Hoyt Park on June 2. Here-'s hoping that Central does as well this year as last, and maybe even better. Dorothy Warne The Moonlight Fairies The silvery moon is shining tonight, The Willows bow over the streamg The fairies and elves come dancing about, Their chance is best when the moon is out, They must have slipped from a dream. The velvety grass so soft and green, Is the carpet upon which they dance, The fairies in lace, with beautiful grace, Golden curls about their face, Smile when the frisky elves prance. The silvery moon is shining tonight, I can see the milky wayg The fairies and elves are dancing there still, By the light of the moon on yonder hill, Now a ray of sunlight and they're gone for the day.

Many pupils take other foreign languages because they think LATIN too hard. Having never taken another language I can not say, but I do know that LATIN is the foundation of all foreign languages so it really pays to get at least two years of Latin before at- tempting any other language. Our regular work is relieved by test, con' tests and outside work. To many the word test may not bring reliefQ but when two classes are contestmg to see which is the better a test does much to prove the truth. This is the way the academic class proved that they are more than a match for the college preparatory class. The C. class tried to redeem themselves after once being defeated. Here their average was nearly twenty points lower than the Academids. Next a contest was held. Although the C. P. class started out with six or seven more than the Academic, the latter had six brave undefeated contestants standing when the last C. P. man was vaniguished. The third triumph for the Academic class came when their average on another test was four points the higher. The eighth grade pupils kept individual notebooks. These contain clippings from papers and elsewhere, which pertain to Latin. Other eighth grade classes keep cultural notebooks. Besides clippings these contain advertisements and. stories which have something to do with Latin. One 8B and 8A class has Friday set aside as Cultural Day. The SB class represented notable Romans. One would give the biography of the person he was representing and the other guesses. The 8A class represented mythological characters in the same way. . The ninth grade classes do considerable out- side work. The first semester we drew a map of Italy -and kept a class scrapbook. Each pupil contributed articles or clippings to it and worked hard to complete it. We studied myths and pupils wrote some. One of our most interesting things of outside work was our travel talks. One of the talks was on Naples, one of Italy's most beautiful cities. Towering above it to a height of four thousand feet is the volcano, Vesuvius, which seems to threaten the heavens with its smoking torch. The fishermen along the Bay of Naples appear to be almost as old as the city itself, but hard labor has caused these wrinkles. The streets of Naples are about six feet wide and seem even narrower because of the gloomy tenement houses which rise to an amazing height and stop only when poverty will climb no higher. The next talk was on Venice. The city is much more beautiful at night because the lights gleam uponthe .Waters andthe. music from the x ral 'I gondolas can be heard. Here there are over 450 bridges and it Was here that the great composer Wagner died. To me the most interesting lecture was on Rome. The City of Seven Hills, the Eternal City, City of Caesar's, Mother of Cities, City of the Tiber, the City of Fountains, these and many more were the names given to Rome, a city which still holds world interest. There are many places I should like to visit if I ever went to Rome. too many to be men- tioned here. A few of them are the ancient Tiber with its solitary island, the Temple of Vesta where the six Vestals kept the sacred fire burn- ing, tbe Roman Forum, a sunken square from which at various points rise columns, arches, and crumbling Walls. You often hear the phrase, All roads lead to Rome. Well, all distances were measured from the Golden milestone in Rome to Palestine, Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Britian. The arches of Titus and Constantine can not be passed without notice. In the Colosseum in olden days could be seen all sorts of cruel pastimes. Men and beasts killed for the pleasure of others. The Colosseum held eighty-seven thousand. Some other places of interest are the Amphitheatre, the great aqueducts, the Roman baths, for the Romans were much cleaner then We are. One emperor bathed eight times a day and even ate his meals in a bath. Last of all I should like to see the Vatican home of the Pope and St. Peter's Cathedral, the largest in Europe. Before the end of the year we hope to have a few more talks taking up cities in other countries. Frances Butler The Storm April 21, 1927 A sudden hush-then stillness! Gray clouds, white-tinged' scud fast and furious high overhead Followed by a blackening gray of rain About to descend from on-coming dimness. A bird swoops low with fear Then darts chirping to her high nestg Lightning, fork-tined, splits the gray west And bathes us in its overflow. A sudden gust-a giving way- Dry leaves and paper whirl frantic'ly As puny dwaris before a wicked monster, Mothers, panic-stricken, call their children in from play, Bare limbs bend low their tough sinews before the mighty on-slaught, Torrents rush in gust after gust, And drench the mud-soaked road, Thunder, deep-voiced, rolls its mighty accents thru our souls- We, mere pigmies, grope for fear, Yet e'en a sparrow doth not fall, But Our Father mindeth him! . -.

Of course Mr. Boch took care of this as he always does, and almost turned out a win- ning team. Due to the lack of spirit on the part of the pupils our team came in second. They won three games, tied two, and lost one. Next comes Basketball. To begin with our light weight team won the championship by winning five games, and losing one. CI forgot to mention the fact that the light weight division was coached by Mr. Roush.J Along about this time our Gym exhibi- tions were given. They took in all the different kinds of exercises including, dumbell, Wand, and Indian club drills. Through the fine cooperation of our Gym faculty, Mr. Boch, Mr. Roush, Mrs. Sanford, and Miss Dailey, it was a complete success. Following the exhibitions comes the home room basket ball schedule. Many different games were played and ine sportsmanship was shown. The winner of this schedule was Home Room 214. The winner of the consola- tion series was Home Room 104. Going on now is a play ground ball sched- ule, and is being played off. The winner will be announced in the September issue of the Reflector. The season on is now for baseball. Mr Bock, our coach, says that this year is going to be a championship year for our baseball team. All the games that we have played were easily won. Captain George Boertles is managing the team like a veteran. Along with baseball comes track. On June 2, the Track Meet will come off with other schools supposedly present. Mr Roush claims to be an expert at track coaching and we know that he is. So let us get behind him and push, and win the championship banner again this year.
