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

mm mmu mnmmm m . BJ OO OIOt O Qirls Hochey Hockey is one of the most highly organized team games played by Central Junior girls. It is a dashing, dribbling, hitting game. It is played with a ball and curved sticks shaped like a shepherd ' s crook and is an ideal game for the cool, crisp days of autumn. It is, in fact, the first team sport in which the girls ' gym classes engage during the year. Each year a Hockey Tournament is held. Teams are selected from the classes of Miss Root and Miss Duncan, the instructors. This year a series of three games was played, the decision being in favor of Miss Duncan ' s girls. Interest ran high and there was much rooting for both teams, but a fine spirit prevailed throughout. After the final game, Mrs. Poorman entertained both the winners and the de- feated with sandwiches. These were much appreciated. Both teams were then given a party by the instructors at the home of Miss Root and everyone present had a royal time. Pupils of both teams who were given school letters are pictured and named on the opposite page. h ewcomb Newcomb, a game much resembling Volleyball, is one of the newer games to be introduced and played at Central Junior. However, it has proved its worth and the playing of it has been keenly enjoyed by the girls. A tournament was held at the end of the season among the first-year classes. Miss Duncan ' s winning team, whose pictures and names appear below, were awarded chevrons. NEWCOMB Top Row : Magazine, Lower, Owens, Barnes, Gee, Cloud, Boden.
