Here the most nourishing of lunches are served. and enjoyed by both students and teachers. Besides the regular lunch every noon a bargain lunch is served. A typical lunch of this sort is: Mashed potatoes, choice of vegetable, milk, muffin, dessert.

THE ANNUAL R,EFLECTOB 33 -of I+ Class Prophecy T WAS a hot sultry night in June, 1942. Two suspicious looking figures were stealthily creeping down the corridor of Hotel Maitland, New York City, peek- ing in keyholes. I Looking thru the keyhole of Room No. 1 we see what might be termed massed hu- manity, for there before our very eyes are five of the largest men we have ever seen. Upon close inspection we find them to be old school mates of ours, namely: Joseph Horan, Jerry Cstler, Roy Esler, Geo. Hahn, and Malcolm Terwilliger. Room No. III. Here we find Donald Solomon fa successful business manj read- ing the paper. Glancing at the headlines we see, Miss Sally Howell, editor of The Daily Blah, resigns post to wed Chas. Brennan. Well, that's a surprise, Read- ing the article we find that Elizabeth Kim- ball will succeed Miss Howell as editor. Congratulations! Turning over the page we notice the society column by Misses Brown, Bennet, and Carmen. Reading the society column we see that parties were given by Mr. and Mrs. Whalin -fVirginia Woodsl, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Davis fAlice Chinneryl, and Mr. and Mrs. Al. Grigsby CJane Vvieneckej Turning the next page we- run across the gossip column by Elizabeth lWalter Winchelll McDonald and Wilma Jean CO. O. Mclntirel Miller. We also notice that sometime next week Mardelle Westrom is going to haul George Wesolek up to the altar. We spent an enjoyable evening at the Opera House last night listening to H. Rich- ter and Kathleen Kean. Just about this time the house detective Stan Clift, finds us and kicks us out. Walk- ing across ParkAve. we are nearly run over bya speeding auto. BettyKrohn isstill learn- ing how to drive. Glancing at the electric sign board on the theater across the road we see that Marg Kerr and Marg Piersall are starred in a song and dance revue. Walking past the radio store we stop and listen to the Drooper Dubs program featuring E. Michela, B. Jones, and M. Seaman, success-A ors to Clara, Lu, 'n Em. Just then a police- officer,no less than Willis Billmier,reminds that a business section is no place to loaf. Moving on to the park, we meet two old friends of ours, Dan McNiven, who teaches the boys how to ride horses at the Amsterdam Military Academy, and Jack Wander who teaches English at the same Academy. The boys have to go, but they leave us a newspaper. Headlines on the sport pages tell us that a meeting of the world's greatest athletes is to be held in Switzerland. W. Hagen L. Cartwright L. Galbraith, M. Clark, M. Garner and A. Dem- binsky will represent the best women ath- letes of the U. S. at Switzerland, and Jack Brennan, Tony Barowski, Sylvester John- son, Bill Inglis, Stanley Kulak, Jack Mur- ray, Vic Srnitn, I. Filary,Will Eager, Jack Thomson, and Stan Haremski, will repre- sent the best men athletes. Glancing at the next article we read that D. Peters, and H. Gibbs defeated Merrill Brown and Dorothy Mitchell to retain the six days riding cham- pionship. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sands fHelen Fallierl are living in Los Angles, California, Doro- thy Robarge is married to +now who do you think? Mildred Schallhorn teaches' boxing at the Boston Athletic Club. Alice Judd is an acrobatic dancer on the Keath vaudeville circuit, Hazel Miller teaches elocution at the Southern Seminary, Helen Fox teaches Latin at Central Junior High. and Dot Maves and Vera Jean Crandall de- sign costumes for broadway plays. Betty- Graves is a senator fcr the State of Michi- gan, Marie Dulmage is a concert pianist, and Fred Lilja spends most of his time ex- ploring in the African jungles. Art Seltzer, 9A QJOWD Science I I This year in our science classroom we have learned many useful as well as inter- esting things, about 'The Earth on VVhich VVe Live. While studying this unit we made star maps. - Following this we studied about weath- er and climate of the world, providing a good food supply, obtaining a good water supply, protecting ourselves from disease, fire, machines for work, etc. We have notebooks in which we keep articles pertaining to science.

i-.Y ..--Y-V -WW -. ra GT THE ANNUAL REFLECTOR' 35 +1 14 Central Junior's Library The library of Central Junior High is one of which we should all be very proud. Mrs. Jessie Cubbage, who teaches library classes where the students get a better understanding of literature, also takes charge of the library. In describing our library I would say that it is a large beautiful room seating about one hundred and thirty people at the tables. It has book shelves on three sides of the room, containingreference, non-fiction, and fiction literature, all of which are cataloged and indexed. The non-fiction books are placed upon the shelves according to their classi- fication. Pupils draw out books to earn the necessary outside reading credit for English, as well as for enjoyment. Sally Howell, 9A. Qibfb English I liked English very much because of the interesting subjects taken up. The written and oral compositions were interesting. 'lhe second part of the year is devoted to literature. We are learning to read in- telligently and to increase our vocabulary as well as the appreciation of good stories. We took up stories in the fields of rom- ance and adventure. Some of the stories are: 'The Sire de Maletroit's Door, The Raven, A Christmas Carol, Masque of, the Red Death, and To a Waterfowl. A Pauline Stevens, 8A Q!OfD The Machine Shop The machine shop or metal shop teach- es the students the elementary facts of machinery and metal work. The boys in this class, who are only eighth and ninth graders, are taught to solder, drill, seam, hem-tin, run the milling machine, make useful articles of tin,lamps,and many other things of metal. Lathe work is also done by the more advanced students. There are two lathes in the room, two drill presses, two forges, two bar folders, one milling machine, one tin cutter, and many other simple machines used in metal work. Much of the play scenery is made by this depart- ment. The metal shop, room B, is run by Mr. Trommer and Mr. Christie. Junior Retting, 9A. Business In general business we lea-rn the mod- ern business methods, about the business world and what is required for a good office job. Our text books are rich in material, finely illustrated,and motivated by projects that stimulate the students. Our main topics that we study are as follows: Busi- ness Knowledge, Choice of Life iWork, Business-like Preparation ofrLif'e Work, Cooperation and Civilization, Business Ethicsand Individual Character, The Lev- els of Occupation and Responsibilities, Pro- blems of Finding Employment and Busi- ness ownership, Modern Business Organiz- ation and Ownership, Cooperation between Government and Business, Working for the Government, and Business Law. In the eighth grade we study general business from the standpoint of the pro- ducer. By Vera White SA were Sewing Classes In the seventh grade this year, the girls have learned how to care for their own clothing, how to darn and sew on buttons. They made a glass towel and embroidered a design on it. Every girl made a cotton textile chart on which they had to find as many different cotton materials as they could, some finding as many as twenty different materials. The eight grade girls have hemstitched towels, made night gowns, and simple dresses for a younger sister. The ninth grade girls were taught how to do Italian hemstitching and hemstitch- ed towels for Christmas presents. They also have made slips, baby clothes, blouses and kimonas. Lastly they made two dresses, the first one being a tailored dress of firm material, and the second one a finer one made of thinner material.
