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.

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. The Central Junior Band, under the direction Mr. Mathews, closed the program of Friday, March, 15th, 1935. if S bk P52 A good example is more effective than a sermon. ..,g.g: 45 yy,
