If each lesson you prepare in its turn Many helpful facts you’ll surely learn. The secret in making each day go by, Is to be a willing worker and not to sigh. Now I see the world was made for all As I climb the ladder I’ll try not fall. My idleness I’m surely trying to mend For I see it never will anyone to the presidency send. The teacher at Central, a helping hand Ibnd, So when you’re blue, call on one of them as a friend. —Room I. -o- CHAPEL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR A 5B section of the first semester were of great assistance to us in our chapel activities. During the fall we gave a chapel program in which Jeanette Winnes and Zula Porter sang a song, “Don’t Cry, Little Girl Don’t Cry,” and Zula Porter also gave a recitation, “Granny Comes to Our House.” Our chorus also sang three songs, “Thanksgiving at Grandpa’s Farm,” “Swing the Shin¬ ing Cycle,” and “November’s Feast.” During December the Harmonica Orchestra of the Riley Building enter¬ tained us. There was also a recita¬ tion, “Making of Friends,” by Zula Porter. Later in December we gave a Christmas program in which Jean¬ ette Winnes and Zula Porter sang, “The Sweetest Story.” There was also a play given, “Santa Claus Junior” in which Lawrence Anspaugh was Santa Claus and his wife, Mrs. Santa Claus, was Edna Beane. Lewis Smith took the part of Santa Claus Jr., and Gil¬ bert Egley and Jim Krick were the elves. Mary Eichorn, Betty Camp¬ bell, Robert Lehman and Robert Mc¬ Clure were the children. Following the play the chorus sang “Under the Stars,” “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear”, and “Silent Night, Holy Night.” During February we presented an¬ other program in which Johnnie Dur¬ bin gave a recitation, “Abe Lincoln.” Donald Bixler gave a recitation, “The Song of the Flag”, and Lawrence Ans¬ paugh gave a very clever recitation on “Soap, My Oppressor.’

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS MRS. HAZEL CURTIS OUR THOUGHTS We are boys and girls of the 6th grade In the year of ’31 And we all quite fully realize That our work has just begun But we mean to keep on trying And we’ll reach the 8th grade A Then good-bye to dear old Central Where we’ve worked many a day. We’ll never forget our class mates Nor our teacher kind and true And from every class mate, Mrs. Curtis, here’s to you. Here’s to one who ne’er has failed us When hard work made us feel blue Here’s to one who always helps us With fun and good times too. —Donald Bixler. LEADERS AND DIGGERS Leaders and Diggers in our room are proud Every six weeks we hear them shout loud For a single lesson they must not falter But lasso each one and put on it a halter. —Betty Campbell. -o- OUR JANITORS Our janitors three Do you know who they be? Peterson, Smitley and Evans, Yes, they keep everything clean BUT THE HEAVENS. -o- Children (to man walking along street with a pair of dumbells, one in each hand): “What are those things?” Man: “Dumbells.” Children: “We ain’t either dumb- -o- Loyd Meyers: What are you wait¬ ing for sir? Diner: I’m waiting for this melon to get ripe. MR. CURTIS Mr. Curtis, with his air of business¬ like decisiveness has admirably dis¬ charged his difficult task of both teaching and playing at the same time. His ideals of clean, strong manhood are bound to influence the lives of the boys who come under his training. — 19 -
