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.

They have elected Nettie Watson as captain, and Rose Mary Sural as assistant captain. Those Who have been coming out to regular practice are N ette Watson, Rose Mary Sural, Betty Miller, Agnes Lewis, Virginia Gehrls, Mildred Kurecha, Leona Graham, Betty Thompson, Fannie Jackson, Merilla Leppert, Annie James, Helen Riska, Shirley Bissonette,, Ruth Brandt, Ruth Burns, Lesa J ensch, Dorothy Hegler, Magdalene Schu- maker, Henrietta Haas, Christine Sims, Eliza- beth Ehlert, Ruth Mary Stone, Frances Paquette, and Anna Sarvicki. 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. Shirley Krupka Qjbfb My Favorite Season I've thought it over many times, But still I cannot see Why in summer winter's best, Now sumrner's best to me. In summer, it's the winter, The sumrner's so hot, And ants and bugs crawl around, ln winter, they do not. Summer seems the nicest now, But soon it will not be, Oh! it's so hard to decide The nicest one for me. Lila Forsyth -rr-bi 42 jm-

CENTRAL JUNIOR ANNUAL REFLECTOR WI neemlkau um Boys Athletics By LOUIS CHIESI and HENRY ZACHARIAS INTRAMURAL SPORTS s IN PREVIOUS YEARS, an intramural league was organized this year. 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.
