V It represents the culmination of the year's experience of Central's students. ln it will be found an expression of these various experiences, be they serious or frivolous. By word and by picture this book attempts to convey to its readers a brief story of the year. In some respects it is a biography of the school and the student. Its purpose, perhaps not so apparent now, will be better understood with the passing years. Then, these pages will serve to recall the vanished memories of today of 1935.

Their loss is felt by all, and may they' always be remembered in the years to come.

The forerunner of the Reflector was the Cen- tral NeWs, published in 1923 at the old Central School and was dedicated to Mrs. Lillian Walsh. The first real issue published by our printer, Mr. Arthur P. Smith, was called The Pictorial ReHector, showing views and activities in our school. Mr. Smith was succeeded, in 1924, by our pre- sent printing instructor, Mr. John Distler, Whose classes have printed all the Annuals, beginning with the 1925 issue. In 1925, our Reflector was bound in purple and gold and dedicated to our Principal, N. W. Chaifee. In 1926, it Was cream with the school sketched in red, and was dedicated in loving memory of Mrs. N. W. Cha:ffee,who died Sep- tember 26, 1925. The next issue Was gray, with purple initials, and in memory of Miss Jessie Loomis, who died August 13, 1926. Our 1928 number was gray and red, and Was dedicated to our assistant principal, Miss Grace S. Ryman. 1929 Renector had a blue cover and Was in memory of Miss Flora M. Heyman, a beloved teacher who died May 30, 1929. The 1930 issue was gold with Central's initials in purple, and was in honor of the fathers, mothers, and patrons of our school. The 1931 issue was in mottled tan With black design and red bordorg it was dedicated to Miss Isadore Flanders, Whohad been a most efiicient Reflector sponsor up through the years. In 1932, the cover was gold with a sketch of the school framed in gold, and was dedicated to the ninth graders of the school. The 1933 issue Was White with red border, with the American Hag in the center, and was dedicated to our esteemed principals Mr. Newton W. Chaffee and Miss Grace Ryman, in order to express in some small way, our sin- cere appreciation of their service to our school. Our 1934 issue was three shades of blue with a sail boat, and Was dedicated in loving memory of Miss Cora E. McEachron, abeloved teacher. The Reiiector Club has met every Friday noon at twelve-thirty in 204, with its sponsor, Mr. Myers. The articles are Written voluntarily by the pupils of Central. Our printing is done in our print shop, dir- ected by Mr. John Distler. We are pleased to present this Annual to you this year in hopes that you will enjoy read- ing and treasuring it as much as we have in planning, writing, and printing it.

Mother In the dim of twilight, Singing soft and low, There sits she so patiently, Rocking to and fro. It is Mother, with those kindly eyes And hair as white as snow, Which mingles with the moonlight, When her head is bowed just so. Neither roses, violets. nor lilies, Can such pleasures ever bestow, As the lady in the twilight Singing soft and low.

The math class of 204 have lots of fun and work. We have had all kind of problems from the easiest addition to the beginning of algebra. We have covered addition, subtraction, multipli- cation, division, forrnulas, percentage, interest, and the using of circles. We hope that this class may go through life conquering the subject Math !

Who should sell it to us but Artie Barr. We next meet Elaine Plater, who is an old maid, still bemoaning the fact that Charles McLeod does not like her. As we look through the paper, we see that a very :important treat is going on a few miles from us in Denver. Intending to see everything of interest, we decide to go. We see a short, fat man giving off hot air. Why, it's Arnold Zapol- eon. Who is that opposite him? Why it's Har- riette Ysberg, now an accomplished lawyeress, who recently became engaged to a young man in Los Angeles. Whom do we next recognize, none other than Mr. and Mrs. Lyttle K Barbara Silkworthl walk- ing with Marshal Jr. Now we hail a taxi, driven by our old friend Russel Baltentine, who informs us that Janette Jones has just taken her vows with Richard Ludline. Feeling the need of some food, We enter a classic restaurant and are served by Rosemary Gollin. At the table across from us sits Mary Hemstreet and her husband to-be, Don Day. Finding time before our order is filled,we again glance at the paper, only to find that Wm. Ditz has won national honors in an art contest. Looking at the sport page we recognize Henry Zacharias' picture as having won the national championship swimming and diving honors and says he intends to try out for international championship. We will see Bill Goodrich is re- presenting U. S. in an international track meet. It seems as though the first state baseball teams have been organized and Nettie Watson is captain of the Michigan team. After eating, we attend an opera in which Rita Dabek has the lead, and proves a good oneg she is with Charles Ulman. In a box near us sit Marwood Weber and Marjory Lilja. She certain- ly seems happy. Betty Pratt now lives in Flint with her husband. At the same college in which Louis Chiesi is foot ball coach, Warren Kent is a French Professor. Next, in Denver we stop in at one of the large high schools to see Betty Miller explain the rules of basketball. At the same school Esther Hare Works hard with the poor pupils who are making a fatal attempt to work hard at algebra problems. ' Through a friend we hear that Charles White is making his fame crooning. I Lucky you can turn off radios.J Don Peele is still wearing a slave bracelet, but he doesn't care as long as it shows he is a slave to Arlena Porath. He also is a crooner, fat least that's what he thinks.J 'Iola Stroble is an accomplished writer and at present is in Hawaii. Having met many friends we decide to attend a show at night. Who should come on the screen but Marjorie Germain, who is a very talented actress. She is engaged to her pro- ducer, Joe Fitzgerald. Bob Kampfert plays opposite her in All's Fair in Love. Sitting across from us is Marion Pfaff and husband. She recently finished a revised French Diction- ary. We also see Corrine Goepp beside a certain Jack to whom she is engaged. We now leave for the hotel whose dietitian is Ruth Stone. The hotel is owned by Harold Wienert, a very successful business man. We notice Allen Schall, a very accomplished doctor, is also stopping there. One last look at the paper. We see Beatrice Yahn is a very able secretary fand good-lookinglto the president of a bank. Edgar Weber, who is a devoted husband to Verna Bernicker. We are glad to go to sleep but also that we met so many old friends. M. T. Scatterbrains GNWKD Central Junior High is a school that we can never forget. Its banner of purple and gold will long wave in our memory. Central Junior's pupils will always remember the splendid teachers and principal they had. We love and are Very proud of our school. We are glad of the fact that we go to such a home-like school. For after all, school is the beginning of lifeg it may be called our second home, Central Jr. is one of the best built and most beautiful schools in the city, and We want to keep it that way. We can, if we live up to our rule Do Right. We can never forget the hard-fought games played by the boys and girls, nor the school spirit that was shown by the players, audience, and teachers. Ah! those good times spent at dear old Central Jr. How can we forget them? We can't and won't. So, Long Live Central!

Contary to this opinion, the education of a child is not entirely academic. The adolescent boy or girl requires more than mental stimu- lation and training. Boys and girls of junior high age are at a period in life where they are changing physically, mentally, and emotionally. There is a need, at this life stage, to End out what their interests and capabilities are. The Junior High School has been designed to meet the situation and has been rightly called a find- ing school. Subjects, which not so long ago were extra curricular, now are given over to fit the many interests and capabilities of the pupil. Fine arts, manual and household arts and health work play a great part in suiting the pupil's interest. Inthe field of health, besides exercise, play, and competitive sports, the pupil is taught the value of proper care of his body and the promo- tion of good health. Mental training aims in the development of each student who has a particular interest and ability in certain subjects: those who are academ- ically inclined, and have ambitions for higher learning, are trained accordingly, and the same with those who have interests and abilities in other fields, either commercial or vocational. Social development and guidance of the adolescent pupil is greatly stressed during these years of j unior high school education. Wholesome organizations, such as clubs, entertainments, athleticactivities, serve as a means of preparing the pupil to play a Worthwhile part in society. Character development and citizenship can be said to be the true aim of education. The Junior High School is concerned at all times, now more than ever before, with the attitudes, habits, and ideals that will prepare the nation's boys and girls to take their places in society as worthy and good citizens. The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things. but to enjoy the right things, not merely industrious, but to love knowledge, not merely pure, but to love purity, not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. :gt wx: it ag: Son: Father, you can take your finger off' the leak in the pipe now.

The main purpose of grammar is to enable the student to write and speak the English language correctly. Mr. Hurd expresses it in this way: We are like mechanics in a gar- age. Before they can take down and repair a motor they must first know each individual part. So, we in grammar must study each part of speech, each punctuation mark, etc., before fyehcan really say we are the masters of Eng- is . ENGLISH LITERATURE ln the seventh grade the literature centers around two main stories: The King Arthur stories, and The Courtship of Miles Standish. But, many short stories, poems, etc., are also read. The pupils are always improving their vocabulary, and learning to read faster and to know what they have read after reading it. They also try to broaden their knowledge of literature, so that when they grow older and read more, the stories will mean something to them. Kathryn Vorwerck Betty Voss GNWK9 Winning Methods Why do some boys or girls Win athletic and scholarship contests? Superior strength and natural ability count for a good deal, but the main reason why they forge ahead is because they try harder than others. The average person is said to be only fifty per cent efficient. That is, he could do twice as much if he would try hard enough and use all his mental and physical power. You can win life's prizes in school and at home, in the social and business world, if you make suflicient effort, deny yourself, persevere. Everything is bought with a price. Rewards are given to those who are willing to pay the cost.

In October we held our first meeting of the school year and elected the following officers: President .... . ..., --. ,,., .... - .--. Webster Cook Vice-President .,., ,,,. .,.., Don Warren Secretary.-- ..--- . ..,.- .-- ...... Elaine Plater Reflector Representative , ,.., ,,,, B ob Witters Our first few meetings were devoted to organizing and planning our program. After this, Mr. Cartwright helped us in learning how to make different types of pictures and how to develop film and make prints. One of our most interested problems was the construction of a pin-hole camera. We learned that anyone with a little skill can make a cam- era of this type from nearly any small box that can be made light tight. It costs practically nothing to build one of these cameras, as no lens is necessary. In place of the lens, a small hole is made through a piece of black? paper pasted on one side of the box. This allows the light to come through and form an image, which is caught on the film placed inside and opposite the pin hole. The only disadvantage in using this camera is the fact that moving objects can- not be photographed. It is necessary to stand the camera on a steady support and make time exposures These may vary from Hfteen seconds to ten minutes, depending on the size of the pin hole, the film, and the brightness of the day. A few of the members have made pictures with our camera and obtained splendid results. We found that taking pictures of interiors was interesting work and we discovered that well-distributed light is necessary.- Careful use of daylight from the windows will bring about the desired effect, or artiicial light from the photoflash or the uphotofloodi' lamp may be used. In our study of outdoor pictures, we learned how the elements that make up a picture must be arranged in a pleasing manner. For this work time exposures are not suitable. In this connection, the little ugadgetsi' on the front of the camera lost all their mystery for us. They were discovered to be for the purpose of making adjustments to meet the different circumstances. lt was a lot of fun to take action pictures of games, etc., about the school. For this, we found that it is necessary to have a fairly fast lens and film. If these are not used, a blurred picture will result. Only good sharp pictures of this type are in demand. Our members have been taking pictures for use in the Annual Refiectorg and on the snapshot page you will find some of the results. Some of these are what are known as candid pictures, that is, made without the knowledge ofthe sub- ject. You see, sometimes the subject objects to being taken, or else he appears stiff and posed, so we take him anyway. fWe advise you to he good, as we shoot,' people right and left.J Some of us also assisted in making many of the group pictures found in this Annual. About the most important things to learn and remember when operating a camera are The Three Sis of Photography. Everyone who operates a camera should learn them., They are: 1. Set Focus. 2. Set Speed. 3. Set Shutter. Bob Witters Reflector Representative of the Amateur Photographers' Club QJONKD A Fish Story QUESTIONS 1.

We were all part of an excellent experi- ment being conducted by the Federal govern- ment in conjunction with several colleges in the state of Michigan. Central State Teachers Col- lege our sponsor, and Mr. Chaffee was appointed our supervisor. The instructors of the Saginaw Freshman College were as follows: C. S. Boertman, Ph. D., history, geography, and economics instructorg Winifred Harrod, M. S., mathematics and English instructor, Eloise L. Reese, A. B., Eng- lish, German, and literature instructor, Clifford B. Hughes, M. A., biology, chemistry, and sociology instructor, and J. J. Barr, A. B., Eng- lish, chemistry, and sociology instructor. J. Ross Mitchell of the Central Junior faculty taught a French course. Mr. Hughes received a position in his home town, Flint, at the end of the first term and was replaced by A. E. For- ster, B. S. In a short time we had straightened out the enrollment tangle, but a few weeks 'were re- quired to get our organization running eliicient- ly. The election of ofiicers resulted- in Randall Coates being chosen president, George Groom, vice-president, Alfred Rummel secretary-trea- surer, and Louise Doerr, social chairman. Our first social gathering was a Christmas party, held in the Junior High gym. Although the affair was not an overwhelming financial success, everyone had an enjoyable time. After a week of vacation during the Christ- mas holidays, we came back to face our first trial, term exams. Sixty-two students success- fully passsed the crisis, with seven students on the honor roll. With the beginning of the winter term a basketball team was organized under the dir- ection of, first, Mr. Boertman, and later, Mr. For- ster. Two one-act plays were prepared and pre- sented before a large crowd of Junior High and Freshman College students. The boys' quartet also entertained at this and at other functions. One of the latter was the Vaudefair presented by the Central Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation. The basketball team was entered in the Freshman College tournament at Mt. Pleasant and came back with a fine trophy and the distinction of having won the Hrst 'Freshman College tournament in history. The New York Times sent a photographer to get several pictures of various college groups, and published an account of the Saginaw Fresh- man College in one of its editions as an example of the experiment. All too soon winter term examinations rolled around, and when the smoke of coniiict rolled away, 56 students were left. Of these, six were placed on the honor roll. Bob McKellar GNQKD Dr. William Crawford Gorgas May I introduce to you the one who so bravely made the Canal Zone a safe place to live? One point in trying to prevent the spread of the two most dangerous diseases, malaria and yellow fever, was to convince the people that it was mosquitoes that helped spread these dis- eases. This is the way that mosquitoes helped to spread these diseases, malaria and yellow fever. A person having either one of these diseases was bitten by a mosquito which transferred the germ into the mosquito. So when another human being is bitten by this mosquito he is afliicted with malaria or yellow fever. Dr. Gorgas explained to the people, in order to prevent these diseases, the people would have to screen the windows and doors and learn the means of sanitation. Panama put men to work digging ditches and this was the building of the sewage system. But the pepple were ignorant and wanted to get somebody else. Finally, Dr. Gorgas convinced them that it was for their own good and welfare. At the present day we can go vacationing to Panama without catching these two dreadful diseases, malaria and yellow fever. Let us all give Dr. Gorgas a word of thanks and praise for his great bravery and victory.

In the middle of the room, a prostrate form lay on a rubbing table having been put there by a few of his team mates. He was gasp- ing for air and a tear rolled down his cheek. Outside, the clamoring voice ofa milling throng acclaimed a superhuman feat. Newspapermen banged on typewriters, announcers were shout- ing through the mikes to thousand, as an admiring throng gave tribute to this amazing man. A-small, thin man walked through the door- way into the room, Hello Pop, said the boy on the table. He was Wayne Reckert, Western V's great miler. The man whom he greeted was Pop Thompson, famous Western V. Coach. Where's Jerry ? asked Pop. Before Reck- ert could reply, the door opened again, and Old Jerry McLane, for twenty-seven years the trainer of Western V teams, entered the room. Immediately, he began his work, and the deft fingers moved easily over the glistening body. That was a great race, son, exclaimed Pop. Thanks, the boy merely replied. At that moment, someone opened a door and a voice boomed from the amplifiers. The crowd hushed as these pierced though the air: The results of the mile areas follows: Reckert of Western, iirstg Simpson of Michigan State, second, Taylor of Yale, third. Time, 4 min. 5 and 1-5 seconds. This is a new world's record. The air was shattered by the tumultous shout of the amazed crowd as officers tried to clear the track. Inside the training room, the trio were interrupted by the snappy voice of a robust, well-dressed, man with a suave manner. He was William Ward Trent. To those in the know, he was Big Mickey Trent, big-time gambler and sports promoter. Pop's face stiffened as he recognized the features of Trent's large countenance. With a cigar in his mouth and a grin on his face, Big Mickey sat down on a chair next to the rub- bing table. No one spoke. What's everybody so happy about? Trent broke in. Still there was no reply. Well, see- ing that nobody's breaking the bottle. l'll start. How'd you like around a hundred grand, kid? All you need to do is to put the monicher on this contract and you're set for along time. Trent put the contract on the table. Pop rose and said sternly, You'd better leave now, Trent. Okay, okayf' Trent snapped back. You can wire your answer to me at Trent's Sporting Enterprize, New York. Here is your big chance to clean up. As the gambler left, his eyes met Popis and each knew how the other felt. No one spoke for a minute, and then Pop calmly asked, You know who that is ? His name,s Trent isn't it? Wayne replied He then picked up the contract and peered at the words. Jerry stopped his work. The situation was tense. At length Reckert said, Doesn't sound half bad. Five thousand a race and 12V2fh of the profits for twelve races. It's not at all bad. Pop came over to the rubbing table and laid a hand on Wayne's shoulder. What I'm go- ing to tell you is for your own good. That con- tract does look good. A 'hundred thousand isn't anything to laugh at, but just the same I wouldn't sign it. ' You're too nice a boy to fall in with Trent's mob. That money looks good now but it wouldn't look so good after a while. Not after you learned of Trent's method. I-Ie'd only work you hard and let you go after the legs gave out. No, son, I wouldn't sign it. Wayne looked at the contract, then at Pop and Old Jerry. I-Ie didn't answer for a mom- ent but then looked straight at them and re- plied, I won't sign it. You know best. You'll never regret it, son, and when you settle down and Wayne Jr. comes into the world and grows up. Pop's voice grew husky at these words. He continued, When young Wayne grows up Old Pop'll be waiting for him to put on the spikes and start to break I'll help him as much as I can. You're the greatest athlete I've ever coached. Good luck, son. Wayne couldn't speak. Old Jerry turned to hide the tears that were rolling down his cheek. Jerry wasn't the talking lfind anyway. Words weren't any good in a situation like this. Years came and passed away. Many a boy had donned tights since that memorable day. Records were made and broken, but the mile record remained the same. One sunny day in May, ahappy throng was again assembled. They were there to see one of the greatest meets ever held. After many events had been run oif, the time for the mile run approached. The amplifiers blared out, Clear the track for the mile. Seven sinewy athletes crouched, and at the crack of the gun, rose quickly and vied for the pole. All contestants were hunched up until the second lap when the field stretched out and all but two dropped back.

At the beginning of the third lap Bar- ry led by two yards. The pace he set was dazz- ling. It looked more like a half mile run than the mile. Rechert hung on desperately. As they began the fourth and final lap, the pace began to tell. Both boys were running on nerve, alone. Still they came. Critics thought they were crazy. With but half a lap left, Young Reckert made his bid. Bit by bit he crept up. At last he was even with him and Reckert sprinted for the tape. Barry tried to accept Wayne's challenge but the strength had oozed out of his legs. He was through. Wayne Jr. kept coming. Only twentyyards were left, fifteen, ten, five. The fool fell over the line and dropped. The officials looked at the electric timer and only stared. It was supposed to have been im- possible. The crowd roared. They looked again.

Rah! Rah! Eleanor Abler Printing in the School RINTING, as part of school curriculums, is vital from the standpoint of its education- al value. Its first value, educationally, is that it is a medium of knowledge. The progress of the world through the ages is recorded on the printed pages of our books. It is from them that we must learn to be educated, but to learn, one must know how to read. It is said that Reading maketh a man. If this be true, then printing unconsciously maketh a reader. The second educational value of printing is its close relationship with other subjects, such as mathematics, art, English, etc. Regarding mathematics, spacing, measuring, and estimat- ing the use of materials play a great part in printing. The relationship of printing to English is too apparent. Spelling, punctuation, spacing, and paragraphing must be correctly used in good printing. Printing observes many of the principles of art. The principles of balance, rhythm, con- trast, and harmony are constantly followed. Much more than this could be said on the art of printing as a subject taught in our public schools. The history of printing is interesting in itself alone. There is the age which goes back to the days of Gutenberg, and even farther back to the cuneiform writing of the Assyrians and the heiroglyphics of the Egyptians. Print- ing has become one of man's mostvaluable crafts, and now, progressive methods of education have made it possible for young boys to study print- ing, deriving those educational values mentioned, also equipping themselves for a means of earn- ing a livelihood. The following ninth grade boys of the print- ing classes deserve much credit for the printing of this Annual.'

You might expect these business men to say reading, writing, arithmetic, bookkeeping, typ- ing, machine work, and these were mentioned, but the real school values dwelt upon were speech habits, study, appearance, willingness to work, ability to meet and please others, the power to say no sir, and yes sir, the power to be independent of others, the habit of dressing neatly rather than expensively, the power to keep the face reasonably clear of cosmetics and the mouth empty of gum or candy. In other words, the discreet, honest, accurate, punctual, able young person has lots of chance for a job even now. N. W. Chaffee GNQKD The World,s Language Waitress: Hawaii, gentlemen?

The Work consists of reading units or chapters on transportation, communication, banking, filing, personal financial records, home budgets, etc. Along with this each student is given a project book. With the chapter projects are work which adds to business education. Teachers are trying to develop one to become a careful, conscientious, and eflicient worker in the bus- iness world-one whose services will be satis- factory both to yourself and to your employer.

It is a volunteer organization composed of eighth and ninth grade pupils. The orchestra meets every day and only the best of music is studied. There are forty-one members. The instrumentation is as follows: fourteen first violins, six second violins, four cellos, three basses, one fiute, three clarinets, two trumpets, two French horns, two trombones, three drums, and one piano. The orchestra is always ready and willing to play for any occasion of the school. The orchestra played in an assembly period, and also at some of the plays given during the year. They were: The Mystery House, given on November 16,1934, the one-act plays, given on February 8, 19355 the Spanish Onion, given on March 8, 1935. Also, at the one-act plays, given on May 3, 1935.

She maketh me to conjugate verbs by the scores. She maketh me a low grade, my patience runneth over. Surely zeros and E's will follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the Latin class forever. By a Disconsolate Latin Student QJQVD Sunshine We should try to be cheerful, not gloomy.

It also stresses the relation of orchestral instru- ments with the human voice. The pupils become acquainted with great musicians by giving re- ports about them. Besides this, there is a develop- ment of the voices, especially in the bass section. They also have a start in sight reading, in pre- paration for the chorus work of the eighth and ninth grades. The pupils of eighth grade mainly study the opera. The requirement of each pupil being to make one complete report during the year. While the individuals report, the rest of the class take notes. If one reporter happens to have a record which concerns the opera they are reporting upon, he or she may play it upon the victrola, so that all may hear and enjoy. The class also sings and studies three and four- part music. Special attention is given to those with bass voices. During the course. of this study, much thought is given to people in the public eye, whose musical career has made them famous. The lives and Works of Ba ch and Handel were studied especially this year because of the 250th birthday anniversaries of these two famous composers. As part of this course of study, the pupils also dramatized the cantata, Pan on a Summer Day. The ninth grade spend a large part of their time in the study of musical form. The impor- tant items were carefully recorded in notebooks. They learn to love the better types of music and to sing a cappella. They train their voices in different part-singing, and also report upon famous musical personalities. This year, the class gave two operettas, Cupid's Night Out, and Hu.lda of Holland. Those who have a noticable musical talent are selected for the choir, and those who are interested in drama, as well as in music, may become members of the Dramatic Choral Society. Both of these musical organizations assist in presenting concerts in assemblies, Parent-Teacher meetings, and in other school programs. In common, all of the class take a few minutes from each period to give some attention to the current activities which are taking place in the world in which music culture is demonstrated. The richest child is poor without a musical education. 9A Girls Glee Glub QJOfD Spring Oh, I enjoy the sprintime With its buds and flowers, I like to watch the seeds come up, And build their little bowers.

All other objec- tives are subordinated to that end. A completely socialized class, with students taking part in every phase of class work, in- cluding recording of marks and maintaining reasonable discipline, combined with the ac- tivity of small groups who work together under a pupil-leader, to present simple playsof their own making, afford the pupil considerable ex- perience in cooperation, group-consciousness, and self government. The subject matter is concerned with the best of poetry, speaking topics, and drama. The teacher leads and motivates, but the pupil is free to volunteer, or not, as he chooses. There is no forced recitation in auditorium. The pupil's mark depends solely upon two factors: C11 How much he contributes to the class, 12D and how much he detracts from its success. For each, volunteer contribution he receives a credit, and for each unsocial act ade- merit. One to five credits result in a C mark, 5 to 10 a B, and over 10 an HA. Each demerit removes one credit. The third effort in character building is the maintainance of individual conferences with pupils who seem to be having difficulty in get- ting along with others, with the intention of helping the pupil help himself. . The secondary object of auditorium is to interest all of our students in the best of poetry, literature, and drama, and to afford him an opportunity to improve his speech and public speaking ability by recitations and talks before the class if he chooses to do so. The extra-curricular activities are conducted along the same lines of the class work, and afford further opportunities for expression for pupils who desire to participate. Two teachers, Mr. Miller and Mr. Huber, carry out this work. Almost every pupil in school IS a member of an auditorium class. GNOXS My Horse I've got a horse, and his name is Jack.

Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Jack was mak- ing a record dash over to the house of his friend, Tommy Parker. Breathless, and panting, he walked into their club-house, a little shack near his friend's home, and said, Where is that letter? 'Tve got it right here in your desk. But, continued his chum, don't you think it would be better to let the other members work on it, oo. ' Am I the captain of this outfit, demanded Jack, or are you ?

Seeing this,Tommy walked out of the clubhouse, and began saunter- ing slowly down the highway. Suddenly he looked up. He had it ! The key to the mysterious letter! He raced quickly back to tell Jack, but when he arrived at his destination, Jack was nowhere to be found. The letter was also gone. Tommy had made no carbon copy of it, so he started searching in vain for Jack. Finally, he went back to his home to sit and brood over the sudden disappearance of his best friend. If Jack hadn't run off with that letter, he would have had the mystery solved. Also, they prob- ably would have found out something about a band of desperadoes for whom a large reward was oifered. With these thoughts traversing his mind, he finally sank into a deep sleep, there to remainuntil a loud knock on his door awoke him. Sleepily he got up and walked to .the door. lt, however, was pushed open by the intruder who was Jack. n Tom1'ny! he exclaimed, throwing his hat on the bed, 'Tve got it !

I knew the answer to that long ago. . You did ? exclaimed Jack, why d1dn't you tell me ? Aw forget it, said Tommy, let's find the answer to that letter. All right, Tommy. Now here's the key.

There are about one hundred and eighty five students enrolled in mechanical drawing classes. Mechanical drawing is a com- pulsory subject in the seventh grade and an elective in the ninth grade. The aims of the Central Junior High depart- ment of drawings are: 1. To provide exploratory contact with a wide variety of drafting occupations. 2. To teach usable skills in the making of simple mechanical drawings and free- hand letterings. 3. To develop the ability to interpret work- ing drawings. 4. To develop an appreciation of the inter- relationships among industries, through drawing. 5. To develop the ability and the habit of using drawing as a tool to work out and plan matters of a mechanical nature. Some of the types of drawing studied are: Orthographic drawings, pictorial drawings, let- tering, sketching, development of sheet-metal, structural steel, machine drawings, principles of design, electrical drafting, and furniture. John Dork. GWQKS Typewriting Typewriting this year, with Mr. Rhodes as instructor, was a required course of all ninth grade commercial pupils. Because of the increased use ofthe typewriter, it is a necessary instrument for the teacher, scholar, and average individual. Every business man must have some knowledge of typing. 0 Accuracy and arrangement is more important than speed. The subject is taught in Junior High to give each pupil a practical skill for his own use, or to lay the foundation for his success in typing, or stenographic business. Neatness is also stressed throughout the course. Speed tests were given weekly which were found very interesting. Several students have already typed over forty words per minute, of which, only 20 words are required for the 9A credit.

We have studied Snowbound, a winter idyl, by John G. Whittier. It tells of a country family who are snowbound and of the good time they have around the dear winged hearth. Pete of the Steel Mills, is an interesting story by Herschel S. Hull. The author had a great knowledge of steel - .ills and wrote many interesting stories about them. Others were: The Coming of Spring, by Hamlin Garland, The Rivermanj' by Stewart Edward White, The Ransom of Red Chief, and others from Elson and Keck, Book Two. Besides reading the stories, we have studied the authors and learned to know them as real men and women that worked hard to give us the enjoyment of their stories.

But as We went along, the work became easier when we learned to read blue prints and to measure more accurately. The learning of metalwork, as a vocation, is an important trade these days, for it offers more opportunities than it has in the past. One who can successfully learn this trade would find little difliculty in earning a living. In this indus- trial country of ours the metal Worker has the chance to use his trade in the making of auto- mobile bodies, rails for trains, steel frames, etc. Mr. Trommer has taught this class in Cen- tral for nearly twelve years, and all boys have enjoyed having him for their teacher.

At the first election of oihcers Bob Kampfert, Henry Zacharias, Arnold Zapoleon, and Don Warren were chosen to direct the affairs of the club and to plan a series of programs for the weekly meet- ings. Among the speakers at noon meetings were Coach Stackhouse, of Saginaw High School, Myron Wilson, chief detective of the Saginaw police force, and Captain Bob Fish, of the Royal British Air Corps. Many other speakers made the meetings enjoyable. Other activities included a potluck supper, at which Don Warren ate huge quantities of pie, a trip to the Zilwaukee power plant, and visits to the Saginaw airport and the Bell Telephone building. At the Hi-Y swimming meet, every boy who Wanted to swim, was put on the team and they unexpectedly pulled out a victory over the other junior Hi-Y clubs.

The term courtesy is but one little word composed of several small acts. In general, it includes appearance. behavior and conservation. To observe the courtesy rules connected with the three main divisions, marks one as a gentleman or lady who stands out among all others. There are many ways, however, in which one may attend to each of these. Appearance, which perhaps is the most im- portant, does not mean you must be clad in ex- pensive clothing. In order to appear to your best advantage, keep your clothing clean and pressed neatly. Care for your nails, ha.ir and face and train yourself to be tidy. These are among the most important points in the making of your appearance. When out in a crowd, one should respect the line of progress. If necessary to advance out of turn, don't push. The best way is to use a little geliberation accompanied with I beg your par- on. If your voice or conduct attracts attention in public, it gives the impression that you are loud and common, In order to acquire self-posses- sion you must be restrained, tranquil and quiet. When eating, one does not have to chew loud to show the appreciation of ameal, chew slowly and noiselessly with your mouth closed. Form a civic habit by making a practice of picking up at least one piece of paper every time you enter the corridor, and never laugh at accidents or misfortunes of others even if they are funny. When speaking, speak distinctly, standing erect on both feet. Don't let yourself be consid- ered as a vulgar person by trying to attract at- tention with your Voice and do not use profane or slang language. Laconically, Do Right. It is the most natural thing in the world to meet courtesy in your life. The lack of social intelligence is often a failure. After experience, many people take courtesy in consideration as an asset, as everyone should. Take heed! Be courteous at home as well as in public and give your school a name by showing how courteous you boys and girls are. Remember the adage of Emerson: Life is not so long but there is always time for courtesy? Angeline Smokoska IE: fl! 41 ik When Noah sailed the waters blue, He had his troubles, same as you.

The girls are Jo, aftomboy, Beth, very sweet and music loving, Amy, very pretty, dainty and sometimes inclined to be a little selfish, Meg, very home loving. This book is very good and those who have not read it should do so. Jean Ginsburg GNWKD Ninth Grade Science P Central Junior has three Science teachers, Mr. Crane, in 308, Mr. Cartwright, in 309, and Mr. Turner, in 310. The textbook used is: Problems in General Science, by Hunter and Whitman. In ninth grades we cover a number of units- Among them are the following: Electricity and its Uses, Power Machines and the Work of the World, Communication, The Earth and its Neighbors, Time and the Seasons, Weather and Climate, How the Earth Has Been Prepared for Life, The Sky, Sun, Moon, Stars, Constellation of Lite on the Earth, and Life on the Earth. The unit on transportation was ommitted because of the fact that the business classes studied that subject. Each student must complete, write up, and work a certain number of experiments. Also Enykstudent may, if they wish to, keep a note oo . Science is taught only to the eighth and the ninth graders.

It makes progress as the world goes on. Think of yesterday, when our parents and grandparents had wonderful old furniture, rich in color, great in beauty. In the past, the Workman had to do his work by hand, he had no machinery as we have today. Today, the machinery has taken the place of the work done by hand. The machinery may not take as long, but the product is not as beautiful as the work done long ago by our fathers. Everything which you see today is modernistic. Homes, cars, clothing, everything is turning modernistic. Before, when it took many men to make a product, it takes few today. There is only one answer, that is, the age of machinery. Science has made it possible so that instruments of warfare are more developed. A whole city can be destroyed. Surely, science should be given much credit for such inventions. Today, inventors have made airplanes which will sell at five hundred dollars and will take off in your own back yard. Is this not different from the horse and buggy? In our grandparents time, it took a couple of weeks to go a hundred miles, now we do it in a couple of hours. Drive along any street, do you see the old-fashioned homes of yesterday ? No, you will never again see them-they are homes of the past. Look at the homes of the future, do you think they are as beautiul as homes built long ago ? People must awaken from their long sleep and realize what is happening. Today, in Saginaw we are to have a new postoflice, in place of that old-fashioned structure. Such buildings are fad- ing away and up from nowhere comes a steady parade of the modernistic designs. If you would look at the clothing of today and the clothing of our fathers and mothers, you would see that the world is making a great change. This modern world has its good points as well as its bad. Education has made a great improvement from that of yesterday. We, the people of tomorrow, must decide what we want. As the world increases in wisdom, must the instrument of Warfare become more developed? Archie McDonald GXWKD Sth Grade Science 'The first semester of science in Mr. Cart- wr1ght's room we studied about what science is, the methods of science, air, fire and water sup- p 1es. o Second semester we studied about light, health, disease, and homes. Josephine Odell Art HE ART DEPARTMENT, under the direction of Miss Louisa M. Austin, had a very suc- cessful year. Through cooperation and hard work, it accomplished a great deal for Central. Among many of the things commendable was the making of posters for the Poppy Sale, and Welfare Drive. Advertisements for all amateur plays, sponsored by the Auditorium Department, were made for Mystery House, Spanish Onion, one-act plays and also for Mrs. Ulman's operettas. Also, there was a cover design for the programs for Hulda of Holland. When needed, help was given for the making of the scenery for the plays. During Vaudefair night the school was de- corated by the Art Department, and heads were painted of the gentlemen faculty for one of the games, and which proved to be outstand- ing. In cooperation with the Metal Department signs were made for the grass plants. lThere are only two of the many signs left on the grass both of which are bent, etc., and believed to have been done by students from other buildingsl The Art Department would be grateful if students would be courteous enough to show appreciation for any art work, even though it be only signs. Show your cooperation by not destroying other peopleis property. The art classes have displayed soap carvings at the exhibit of the Hobby Show held at the Y. W C. A. At the Annual Art Exhibit at the Women's Club Room, three of our many talented art students won first, second and third pi izes, as well as one honorable mention. A new departure for the Art Department was the art page in the Reflector each month. With their comity and energy, through their help, their creative thoughts, and ideals, they have helped to make a success of the Reflector issued monthly. All linoleum cuts for covers of the Reflector, except one, were made through the year by the Art Department.

I D Q. CENTRAL JUNIOR QE, ANNUAL REFLECTOR sen nQ,.LQibWQg9u new Health Project T THE beginning of the year, a health chart, was made, on which was kept the height, I weight, and age of every seventh, eighth, and ninth grader. This data was carefully kept and watched. If any pupil was found to be ten per cent or more underweight they were given advice as how to correct this condition. In order to find out whether we were undervveight, We consulted another chart which gives the weight of a per- son of one's particular height and age. All pupils in the seventh grade taking physi- cal training had their heart, throat, lungs, and tonsils carefully examined by Doctors Mc- Meeken, Woyt, Eymer, lmmerman, Hester, Poole, and our health nurse, Miss Early. Some children were found to be undernourishedg others, with heart defects, and still others with poor teeth. In addition, Doctor Sheedy, school dentist, examined the teeth of all seventh grad- ers. Slips were sent home to parents whose children had some defect, stating the defects to be corrected. Nurse Early also followed all cases up, and the results were that some pupils were excused from gym. Although it was impossible to have the eighth and ninth graders examined by the doctors, the gym teachers tested their eyes and inspected teeth and tonsils. A card has also been kept on file regarding the health of every child in school. We express our sincere gratitude to the doc- tors and nurse who aided in this survey. We are assured that within a few years Central will have a healthier group than ever before.

Instead of each home room having a teain, there is hoped to be better results by having class teams. Through this method more girls are available who promise to come out faithfully. -vlarjorie Meeks QJOXKD Library The library course is taken by the seventh graders. Each class meets once a week. This course is important for children learning to appreciate the books and to read them more often. It also encourages outside reading to give them a better understanding of living and literature. The children study the history of the news- paper in class, how people used to print, when the first printing press was invented, and by whom. They learn, too, how the books on one subject are listed and how bibliographies are made. There are four kinds of reference books in our library: encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlas- es, and year books. The girls and boys get a chance to look for things in all of them. Library classiication is also studied. The card index is used when a pupil wants to find a book and knows the name, but not the author. Magazines are used to a great extent in study- ing nature, science, art, and important news.

The schedules were arranged by Mr. Roush and the officiating done by students. The main pur- pose of having intramural sports is to provide entertainment for those boys who do not have the ability to make the school teams and to de- velop for future teams. Many boys who make the team in the ninth grade, got their start in seventh and eighth-grade intramural games. This year, a soccer, basketball, and softball schedule have been played. SOCCER Ninth Grade: After an interesting and keen- ly-fought series of games, Captain McLeod's team of small, but scrappy boys, won the championship. The team consisted of boys from Home Rooms 306 and 209. Many pupils were entertained by the interesting games run off noon hours and were provided with many 1 s. Eighth Grade: Home Rooms 214 and 308 won the eighth grade championship, clearly out- stripping all rivals. This team played good soccer all along and deserved the honer of being champions. Next year's school team will be made up mostly of boys who played in the eighth-grade games. Seventh Gfrade: Although soccer was com- paratively new to the seventh graders, they ran off a series of games. Not knowing any of the finer points of the game the smaller, boys often just chased the ball and forgot about their positions, and this afforded many laughs. After a long race Room 114 won the championship, defeating all comers. BASKETBALL Ninth Grade : After playing a long and hard- fought string of games, the teams played a tour- nament to decide the championship. Captain Norm Slade's fast coming five defeated Tommy I-Iahn's quintet 21-16, to emerge the victors and win the banner. Eighth Grade: The eighth grade champion- ship was won by Captain Walt Wrona's high- stepping lads, who defeated I-Ioneman's squad in the final game. Wrona, himself, led his team to victory, playing heads up basketball. Seventh Grade: The seventh grade banner went to Captain Stuhler's crew of basketeers. They defeated Reynold's boys in the inals and proved themselves champions. Thompson and Stuhler were the highlights of the team. At date of this writing, the softball league hasn't started, so nothing definite can be said. SOCCER After a lay-05 of a few years, Central organ- ized a team and entered the Junior High School League. Although losing all of their six games, the Central boys fought hard, and with a little better luck would have won a part of their games as two of the games were lost in the last minute of play. Inexperience was one of the main causes of the poor record, for none of Central players had ever played organized soccer before, where- as their opponents had players of experience. From a large turnout of boys these players were picked by Coach Roush for the squad: J. Wrona, J. Draper, R. Kampfert, M. Weber, L. Chiese, R. Dubai, V. Koenig, J. Romanelly, O. Vincent, S. Wisniewski, B. Russel, C. Mc Leod,W. Reid, C. Meshinski, H. Ruthig, R. Cole, H. Wachowski, J. Church, and J. Tasior. The first eleven boys named were the regular team. Next yearls team will be built around Meshinski, Reid, and Tasior, but the prospects are unknown.

During the first round of the campaign both teams did well, winning three out of five tussels. It looked as though both were to go places, but the everready up-and-at-em spirit died. The standings show us the results: Heavies 6-4, Lights 4-6. The heavyweight aggregation was fixed at the forwards, with two of the best forwards in the valley, Wisniewski and Wrona. Incidentally -'Wi 44 M'- CENTRAL JUNIOR QE, ANNUAL REFLECTOR den neJQ,,iv6F'm9u new these two forwards scored 130 points between them. The guard posts were held down by Roman- elly and Goodrich with Draper occasionally fill- ing in. The center position was worked around Bill Kempf and occasionally Johnny Wrona. The rest of the team was composed of capable substitutes such as Glen Tarrant and Walter Wrona, two eighth-graders, and John Gilles.

Stoner. As usual, the turnout was large but quickly reduced. After winning three out of the Hrst five games they took only one of the remaining five. Central lost two games by two-point margins and one by one point. The boys who played a good share of the time are: H. Zacharias, B. Russell, B. Pittman, L. Chiesi, R. Thomas, R. Kampfert, J. Hales, A. Barr, D. Bellsky, E. Henderson, and R. Mesack. Zacharias and Russell handled the forward jobs with Hales, Barr, and Henderson in reserve. Thomas, high point scorer, was the center with Chiesi and Kampfert at the guards. Pittman played either forward, center, or guard. Central was one of the smallest teams in the league and this was considerable of a handicap. Next year's team will be made up of these boys: Bellsky, Mesack, Stuhler, Staebell, and Montemayor. These boys should go places. The scoring: Name B F 'l'.P.

We have a fine squad of boys anxious to play and sure to develop. We again have practice field at Alumni which will mean that we can get results from practice sessions. For catchers we have Blin1p Eurich, Ray Pur- man, and Joe Tasior in training for next year. Pitchers include Geo Bluemlein, Stanley Novak and John Wrona. Wrona will probably play first when not pitching. Second base is wide open with at least eight boys after it with equal chances on present form. At short Chet Me- chinski has been showing up well with Walter Watson and Albin Grzesiak as competitors. Ernie Moll has first call at third. In the out- field Walt Kalinowski, Manuel Robertson, Walt Wrona are leaders, with Ray Purman almost sure to play because of his hitting ability. An excellent group of seventh and eighth graders are out getting ready for next year. GNWKD Gym Demonstration SUALLY, Central has two Gym Demon- strationsi' ayear, but they were combined this year. Our band opened the program this year, followed by a grand march in which every one participated. Miss Dailey's class then gave a flag drill. They were dressed in dark suits, white middies, and anklets. Several rounds of boxing by Mr. Roush's pupils came next. There was one knock-out. Two classes then took part in an American country dance, They were dressed as lumber- jacks and the women in old-fashioned outfits. This was followed by a dumb-bell drill led by Hilda Marsh and Geraldine Yockey. The pupils of Mr. Stoner then took part in some active circle games. Next a very good whirl-pool entered the gym. The pupils were of Mr. Roush's classes. Pole climbing then followed by one of Miss Dailey's eighth grades classes. A gay square dance by eight graders, Miss Trussel's class came on next. They were dressed much like the American country dance. A very interesting and exciting flying ropes and rings, by a class of ninth graders of Mr. Roush followed. This was followed by a tap dance in which the participants wore short dresses. Stunts, called by Rex Cole, and done by pupils of Mr. Stoner entertained the audience next. Pupils of Miss Trussell now engaged in an Indian Club Drill. Folk dances followed and proved quite entertaining. Miss Dailey instructed this dance. Mr. Roush's ninth grade pupils then took part in an interesting pole vault, trying to scale the height of a pole. Students of Miss Dailey did some marching next.

Another was given in honor of Fire Prevention Week. Mr. Mathews was in charge of an interesting musical assembly on November 8th, The Christmas assembly was arranged nicely. Mr. Lewis was in charge, and presented an all-star cast of Hi-Y boys in the great play, Scrooge's Christmas. Professor Allen from the Forestry Department, University of Michigan, showed some interesting reels of The Michigan Natural Resource Inventory and facts of the wild life of Michigan. Mr. Elias, The Man Without-a Country, gave an interesting lecture on his experiences. On February 26th, Mrs. Chamberlin, a skilful artist, presented a very entertaining progran consisting of sketches music, and whistling. Since then, assemblies consisting mainly of moving pictures, have been given in the auditorium for the pleasure of the students. The assemblies throughout the whole school year have proved educational, as Well as enter- taining, and I think the student body as a whole has thoroughly enjoyed them. Iola Strobel GXWKD Q Pads Every year many fads appear in all schools. Someone wears an odd pair of shoes, etc., and before very long nearly every student has a pair. Many of these fads are ridiculousg some are sensible. A fad is a passing fancy. Central has seen many fads this year. Among the many are these ski boots, for a time a girl had to have a braid to be considered well grown, then there were these perkey, little hair- bows worn by all 'stylish glrls', twin sweaters also seemed the right thing to wear. Many of the fads that were considered very important at the beginning of the school year are laughed at and thought very foolish. So far, girls seem to be the only ones who participate in these so-called fads, but this is all wrong, boys also become interested in fads. For instance, some time nearly every boy thinks he must part his hair in the middle, or not part it at all. There are many other things, too. For sometime boys were seen everywhere in tennis shoes because of a passing fad. l just want to say, don't always be too eager to take part in a fad.

The first few weeks are spent more on vocabulary, then verb forms or translation. Next, pronunciation is important and to help us we copied a key to pronunciation. We next tackle translation of short sentences and para- graphs. Now we had to toil and work, and work and toil over verb forms, past, present and fu- ture, and the easy Koh, yeahh endings. . We used as our text book, French by Read- 1ng, by Malakis and Blancke. We read numerous fairy tales and stories pertaining to the history of France, Jeanne d'Arc, Charlemagne, etc. Harriette Ysberg QJSOKD Electric Love If she wants a date-Meter.
