CENTRAL JUNIOR QQ, ANNUAL REFLECTOR wan I 03964-iv6VQ3u . new Auditorium HE AUDITORIUM CLASS since it first began in Central Junior High, has concerned itself with two objectives, Hrst, and primarily it has striven to improve the character, personal- ity, and citizenship of its pupils. 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. His hair is quite coarse, but he has a strong back. Every day I ride him all the way to school, And when we get there, we stop at the pool, When he drinks all he needs, I take out the oat-bag, and he starts to feed. After a while, he and I go home, Then he goes out into the field to roam.

CENTRAL JUNIOR QB. ANNUAL REFLECTOR vw y nee'Q,i-,Kean fwf- Amateur Detective ELLO! Did you say a mysterious letter? VVhat? Sure, I'll be over there as soon as you set your telephone down. Okay. So long Tom. The receiver clicked down. Jack Rogers, captain of an amateur neighborhood detective force, grabbed his hat and ran out the door, leav- ing it open behind him. Jack, remonstrated his mother, will you please close the door when you go out? But her voice echoed and reechoed through the rooms of their spacious country home, heard by no one except herself and her husband, who was lying on the veranda, trying desperately to ward off some of the summer heat by sinking into oblivion. 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 ? All right, said Tommy, we'll Work on it to- getherf' That's better, sai d Jack, now where is that letter ? Read it to me. All right , said Tommy, it begins like this: QDan and Red left in no gold. Men eat eggs to- night. Mary exclaimed. Use no down entry rate. Ted has envy. All people pet little elves. Then Red excused Eskimo. Ten officers nobly identified gentleman here tonight. Intromit. Court abdicates noted nominee oftener today. Labor in vain ended. With images try hunting objects under table. Yard on ukelele. Jewels in monasteryf There was a long pause when Tommy finish- ed reading the letter. Let me have it, will you ? asked Jack. i'Sure. Here you are. Do you get any sense out of it?,' asked Tommy, I donitf' But Jack was engrossed in studying the letter and did not hear his question. 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 ! Got what? asked Tommy drowsily. The solution to that mysterious letter ! he answered. Aw come on Tom, wake up! Don't you realize what I've done ? Tommy blinked his eyes and looked at Jack. 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. Each sentence is one word. Take the first letters of all tliie words in the sentence, and you have one wor . The 'drst letters of all the words in the first sentence are d-a-r-1-i-n-g. Darling! said Tommy. About five minutes later they emerged from the room. Their faces wore a downhearted and discouraged look. After this, said Jack, when you End let- ters like that, don't ever tell me about it. For the letter they had found, using the key, read like this: Darlin g: Meet me under the apple tree tonight. I cannot live without you. -Jim Iola Strobel A QJWKD Full Speed Ahead By George E. Phair Full speed ahead into another year! The roaring gales of yesteryear are dead.
