CENTRAL JUNIOR ,iff ANNUAL REFLECTOR wan- nQ,f2Qf?vR.9u mea Barry of Southern California and Rechert or Western. 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. Clearly they saw the hands read four minutes, four and one-tenth seconds. The field announ- cer grabbed the mike His voice rang forth, Results of the mile ! Reckert of Western, first, Barry of Southern California, secondg Merrill of Kansas, third. The time, four minutes, four and one-tenth seconds, breaking the twenty-three year old world record of four minutes, five and one-fifth seconds held by Wayne Reckert, Sr. Again the crowd roared. Up in the stands a middle-aged man stared blankly ahead. He was muttering something to himself. A young man next to him heard him mumble these words, Pop was right, Pop was rightf' The young man laughed as he asked his girl gompanion, What's the matter with that old Oy . af You see he didn't understand.

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.' Julian Urban, James Arnold, Edward Abler, Adam Acklen, Wallace McAllister, Bennie Pittman, Roman Thomas, Elmer Wiese, Henry Winchester, Robert Wisniewski, Floyd Gutka, John Kovaleski, Walter Crampton, Ralph Keck, Charles Aldrich, Robert Bouchey, James Darling, Edward DeLaney, Vincent Furlo, Ralph Goodrich, Warren Kent, John Romanelly, Arcadia Bazhenow, LaVern Tafel, Fred Brown, Cleophus Coleman, Jack Crandall, Vern Koenig, Rex Cole, William DeVeaux, John Gilles, and Casimer Jarlock. wk Ik Dk Ik I'll be good for a penny, mother, coaxed little William, hopefully.

CENTRAL JUNIOR ,QM ANNUAL REFLECTOR eau- nkfbikau new School Values I was an interested, and not surprised, listener in a meeting held in Flint one evening a month gone. This group was composed of busi- ness men, principals, and commercial teachers from various parts of the state. The question was What training should the school give its commercial graduates so that they may enter the office or go behind the coun- ter . 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?
