fe d te 3Msfll TROPHIES OF SUCCESS Athletics and Athletes of Q, J. H. S. The aim of Athletics in Junior High is not the making of a great name for the athletes or the coaches or the school, for such is never accomplished, but it is for the finding and developing of the talent that is within the boy. The watchful eyes of the coaches have discovered the individual ' s talent to play basketball, football, baseball, to jump, to run, to hurdle, to vault or to heave the shot, and out of the ranks he has been taken and trained and placed in inter-school competition. Some of the boys have succeeded to the limit of their talent, gaining all the while in physique and moral courage, while the talents of others have carried them on to greater and higher successes. Let it be understood that the Junior High takes no credit beyond its own limita- tions for the successes of these individuals, but glories only in the satisfaction in having helped them, for without the right training by later teachers those greater successes could never be. For those who may not be familiar with the achievements of some Central Junior Athletes let them cast a glance back over history. Away back in the so-called Freshman football days there appears the names of a Bacchus and Eastburn. These men were selected on the All-Star High School Team for two years. Last year Bacchus was selected by many for the All-American football honors and is next year ' s captain of the University of Missouri ' s team. There was Burton and Bob and Dorance Byers and John Goetz on other Junior football, track and basketball teams. Burton is a K. U. football and basketball man, Goetz was a star on Baker U. ' s basketball team and all were on the All-Star High School selection when playing with Central Senior High. Some present Senior High stars are McFarland. Oldham, Sipes, Blaco, Hursley, Kaufman, Fuchs, Cummings, Powers, Jacobstine, Fields, and Alspaugh. Many others have set marks that should serve to spur Junior High boys to greater achievements. wmmw v te,c? ig, s g i S Page One Hundred Fifty-one

Trach As the Ceejay goes to press, it is early to say just what can be looked for in the way of victories from our track team aside from the fact that Central has never had a poor track team, has never placed lower than second and since its beginning in the worthy effort, it has never lost a dual meet and has failed to win only two of the big meets; that of the Quadrangular and the K. U. Invitation last year. That is a pretty heavy reputation for this season ' s team to maintain but there seems to be a lot of good material waiting only to be developed, and from day to day the outlook grows brighter and brighter. The lack of an indoor track was a severe handicap to the indoor relay team but with very little training it made a splendid fight losing only by inches in the K. C. A. C. meet. The Missouri and Kansas meet was a disappointment as Central ' s first runner, Doran, was tripped and fell on the first turn, throwing the team out of the race. The third meet saw Central Junior again making a grand fight up to the last and being nosed out at the tape again. Doran, Riggs, Worley, Washington, Tevis, and Hanenkratt were representatives in these relay races. The best of the unlimited group are to travel to Lawrence for the K. U. Invitation meet April 16, after which will come a dual with Westport, April 29th, on the Central field for both unlimited and 115-lb. teams; then a dual with Northwest in K. C. K., May 7th, for the unlimited followed by a dual for the unlimited with Central of K. C. K., May 14th, and then the big Quadrangular, May 22, on our field for A and B divisions.
