DEEDS AND MISDEEDS MR. HORTON Mr. Horton came to Cen¬ tral at the beginning of the fall term of 1930. This is his first year and is the start of his career which may end in being principal of Central School or it may end in an auto wreck. He is a star athlete in football, basketball and baseball. He is doing excellent work as our teacher and I hope he continues till the “bed spreads” and the pillow slips. BURCHARD HORTON THE BASKETBALL TEAM We had a fine basketball team this year. Mr. Everhart was our coach and we know he liked his position. Don Reynolds, Ralph Ritter, Russel Butler, L.eroy Huffman, Ralph Peter¬ son, Bob Aeschliman, and Joe Beane from our room, helped comprise our first and seconds teams. Although we lost the trophy to St. Joe, we hope to win it back next year. -c- MR. EVERHART Mr. Everhart came to Central about two years ago. When Mr. Thomas be¬ came principal Mr. Everhart succeed¬ ed him as coach of the basketball team. We, the 8 B’s feel very fortunate to have Mr. Everhart as our home room teacher. Besides being our home room teacher he teaches us reading, geography, spelling, hygiene and composition. We heartily appre¬ ciate his kindly manner and helpful interest in everything we did.

The boys es¬ pecially are always ready to lend a helping hand unless it is something pertaining to school and then they back out. Although the boys can sing if they want to, Miss Schindler threat¬ ened to take them to the “Opportunity Room” for music class. Even though we have plenty of bad points we have good ones too. Five girls sang for chapel on Good Friday. They were: Naomi Ladd, Vir¬ ginia Brokaw, Elizabeth Meihls, Le¬ nore Teeple, and Eileen Wells. (I hope you’ll excuse us for bragg¬ ing, but no one else will do it for us.) (Note: While in their 7A year the SB’s were noted as the worst class in Central.) -o- THE BAND We have a trio of band players in our room. They are: Bob E. John¬ son, Ellis Squier and Bob Aeschliman. We hope they will make real musi¬ cians when they grow older. - IN MEMORIAM Monday morning, March 16, the sad news of Eleanore Werst’s ser¬ ious illness was passed from pupil to pupil. About ten o’clock the un¬ believable information that Elean¬ ore had passed away was confirm¬ ed. Only the preceding Monday she had attended her classes in the morning, though suffering from a severe cold. Influenza, followed by pneumonia was more than her frail little body could withstand though she fought bravely and continued planning the work she would do upon her return to school. Always quiet and studious, Elean¬ ore had endeared herself to her teachers and her classmates who keenly fell their loss. Her life was indeed worthy of emulation. To her sorrowing family we ex¬ tend our sincere sympathy. J -o- Editors Chief Editor.Eileen Wells Associate Editor.Cover McClure Business Managers.Naomi Ladd Lenore Teeple — 10 —

OUR CLASS MISS COFFEE’S PSALM The 7A class is made up of thirty- nine pupi ' s. The first semester we were divided into two sections, but this semester the two sections were made into one. Usually the cast for the annual Eighth Grade play is chosen from the eighth grade only. This year, how¬ ever, we are very proud to have two of the characters selected from our class. They are Harry Moyer and Robert Engeler. When we are 8B’s we shall have left behind all who are laggards in their work, so we are eagerly looking to the future. We are sure many of us will win the coveted commendation, “Well done!” Central’s basketball team has fought hard this year. We lost the trophy to St. Joe for the first time in years, but if we seven A’s continue to play we’ll get it again. Mr. Everhart is the coach and has done splendid work. Boh Myer, Charles Swygart, Carl Rit¬ ter, and Lawrence Johnson are the boys from 7A. Miss Coffee is my teacher, I shall not pass. She maketh me shew my ignorance before the whole class. She giveth me more than I can learn. She lowereth my grades. Yea, though I walk through the valley of knowledge, I cannot learn. She fireth questions at me in the presence of my class mates. She anointeth mine head with slams, my eyes runneth over. Surely adjectives and adverbs shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the Eighth grades forever. —Marlowe Hoagland - 10 - 7A Editor.Agnes Nelson Associate Editor.Ruth Porter Associate Editor.Billy Schafer Business Mgr.Corolene Townsend -o- Guide (wearily): And these are sky¬ scrapers.
