EVANS BURBANK, Faculty Supervisor EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Glenn Paul, Donald Thomas, Roland Taylor, Ernest Spaulding, Roland Maurer, Robert Berling oreword ir ir 'A' The 1946 Annual of Central Vocational High School is now committed to the kindly keeping and tender care of this friendly reader. Being largely a record of the Class of '46, the editors realize that it will have a peculiar and special interest for the members of this class. They have endeavored, however, to arrange the contents of this volume in such a manner as to make it interesting to the casual reader. ' Acknowledgements are due to all who have so generously contributed of their time and service, as well as to the advertisers and sub- scribers for their material assistance. If, in future years, this Annual may prove to be an appropriate reminder of Central school days, the aims and purposes of its editors will have been fulfilled. -- r, MH. F. XV. SCHAEPEBKLAUS MR. F. I. BECHTOLD DEDICATION The Senior Class is happy to dedicate this volume to Mr. Frank Bcchtold and Mr. Fred W. Schaeperklaus, two members of the teaching stalf, Who have given a combined total of fifty-three years of faithful service to vocational education in the Cincinnati Public Schools. Mr. Beehtold, appointed in January, 1919, has given twenty-seven years, and Mr. Schaeperklaus, ap- pointed in September, 1920, has given twenty-six years. Through the years, these men have stood for the best in education and citizenship, and their iniluence over the boys Qwhose number is legionj who have attended Central, has done much to give Cincinnati a group of industrious and Worthy citizens, of Whom the city and school, are justly proud. Mr. Bechtold and Mr. Schaeperklaus join with Mr. Kuns and Mr. Cahall in what might Well be called the Twenty-live Year Club. Each of these has given over a quarter of a century to vocational education in Cincinnati. Page five MR. RAY FOREST KUNS PRINCIPAL HOW SMALL When our nation was being settled and developed, a day's travel meant ten to twenty miles. Now, a dayis travel can mean five hundred to five thousand miles. Truly the size of our world has suffered magical reduction through scientific discoveries. Our forefathers on this continent had little trouble with neighbors, for they were few and far between. Their chief problem was to learn to live amicably with the Indians who inhabited most of this country. Time after time, differences were fought out on the battlefield with the result that entire tribes of red men disappeared from the face of the earth and entire communi- ties of palefaces were wiped out. The situation today is quite different. Now, every man in the world is our neighbor and we live with him. Arrows and muskets, however, were not of such potency as to serve to Wipe out all of the red men nor all of the palefaces in the world. Apparently, man has finally succeeded in constructing destructive devices which, if used with indiscretion, will go a long way toward wiping from the face of the globe such numbers of men and amounts of man-made structures as to make possible the complete changing of the face of the earth. With the discovery of atomic energy and how to release it, some scientist could, through inadvertence or intention, light the fuse which would permit the instantaneous release of all the trapped and controlled energy existing within every atom of material forming both the surface and the interior of this globe of ours. This could mean the end of time as far as this planet is concerned. On the brighter side, scientists the world over may join hands in friendly research to the end that atomic energy will become man's servant thus lifting the peoples of the earth to a higher plane of living than they have ever known before. It is imperative then, that we must learn to love our neighbors, mean- ing all men of all races, creeds and colors. It is into this great new world of tomorrow, with all its uncertainties, that you young men must enter to seek your fortunes. Along with the lessons in mechanics, mathematics and science, which must be mastered, are those pro- blems of government, civic responsibilities and social behavior which have now become of even larger significance in the perpetuation of life on this globe. From a large world with few responsibilities we have suddenly become a small world with great responsibilities. You seniors, as you leave the classrooms of Central for the world of work and service to your nation, face living in a world neighborhood. What each one of you thinks and does will have a bearing on world affairs, more bearing perhaps, than you will ever know. You had best accept the challenge which is yours and prove that in this small world you can live in harmony and peace with your many neighbors. RAY F. KUNS Page seven U FAITHF UL TO CRAFTSMANSHIP You are now going out into the industry to find a place as a craftsman. You have completed four years of study and shop practice. You have laid a foundation of knowledge and skills upon which to build a good and useful life. You have made the decision as to your life's Work and have given four years of your life preparing yourself to meet the problems of the Work-a-day World. You will meet vexing situations and aggravating disap- pointments. Success Will not come easily, however, if each task is taken as a challenge, if you develop patience, determination, perseverance, industry, honesty of purpose, love of craftsman- ship and pride in your Work, lifeis problems can be taken in stride and life will reward you accordingly.

LITTLE 1 ELIZABETH B. SELLERS THE BRIDGE BUILDER An old man, going a lone highway, Came at evening, cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dimg The sullen stream had no fear for himg But he tumed when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength with building hereg You've crossed the chasm deep and wide, VVhy build you this bridge at eventide? The builder lifted his gray old head, There followeth after me to-day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall beg He, too, must cross in the twilight dimg Good friend, I am building this bridge for him. - Will Allen Dromgoole THE OFFICE STAFF Belle Kurzner Margie Weichold Dorothy Rust Page sixteen THE STOCKROOM STAFF E.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1942, we seniors began a new chapter in our lives. It was then that we began our high school career in the newly formed Central Voca- tional High School. We were surrounded by a maze of machinery which was foreign to the majority of us. It was not only new to us but new also tc the school. Never before had it been attempted to combine academic and vocational subjects in one school in the city of Cincinnati. A lusty group of 636, we started preparing ourselves for the future. Much of our first year was spent in organizing and setting up our classes and shops. The next two years saw us dwindling in number, since many left tc serve in the armed forces. I It did not take us long to become adjusted to our new environment, proven by the fact that large numbers of boys from our class began to appear on the athletic teams. Many of our boys constituted a large part of the start- ing line-ups in most of the sports from the sophomore through the senior year. This yearis graduating class contains 20 lettermen and a goodly number in the armed services. We began our senior year with our ranks thinned to a mere 107. As we prepare to leave the school, the first group to spend four years at Central, we are justly proud of the fine record we have made, and wish to pass it along as a challenge to other classes. The class was organized under the able leadership of Mr. Howard Wesley, officers were elected, and many social functions were enjoyed during the year. Although it is with regret that we leave, we shall always cherish in our hearts the memories of the years spent at Central Vocational High School.

Page for! y-seven THE ART OF GETTING ALONG I Wilferd A. Peterson Sooner or later, a man, if he is Wise, discovers that business life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. He learns that it doesnit pay to be a sensitive soul -that he should let some things go over -his head like Water off a duckis back. ' He learns that he who loses his temper usually loses. He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then and that he shouldn't take the other felloW's grouch too seriously. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight. He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about others. He learns that it doesn't matter so much who gets the credit so long as the busi- ness shows a proiit. He comes to realize that the business could run along perfectly well without him. ' He learns that even the janitor is human and that it doesn't do any harm to smile and say, Good morningf, even if it is raining. He learns that most of the other fellows are as ambitious as he is, that they have brains that are as good or better, and that hard work and not clever- ness is the secret of success. He learns to sympathize with the youngster coming into the business, because he remembers how bewildered he was when he first started out. He learns not to worry when he loses an order because experience has shown that if he always gives his best his average will break pretty well. He learns that no man ever got to lirst base alone and that it is only through cooperative effort that we move on to better things. He learns that bosses are not monsters trying to get the last ounce of work out of him for the least amount of pay, but that they are usually fine men who have succeeded through hard work and who want to do the right thing. He learns that the folks are not any harder to get along with in one place than another and that getting along depends about 98 per cent on his own behavior. , By permission, The jaqua Co., Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Central offers niathernatics instruction in the various trade fields. Practical mathematics is offered to boys who are going into a trade following graduation while those preparing for college are taught algebra and geometry. Page sixty MACHINE SHOP The equipment in the machine shop at Central Vocational High School is of such variety as is needed for basic training in machine Work. The work is planned to give every boy sufficient practice at different types of Work on vari- ous machines so that he will get a clear understanding of their use. The degree of skill developed at the different types of work is limited by the time that can be spent at it. Classroom Work endeavors to correlate tl1e theory and practice of the trade field as closely as possible. The problems used to illustrate the work in the subjects are taken from the trade fields. The training is aimed to be broad and general, rather than narrow and specific. This enables the boys to accept a wide variety of jobs with a good basic training. The specific training for particular jobs can best be obtained on the job. It is usually agreed that even after entering industry it is not wise to specialize too quickly. Page sixty-one V ! MECHANICAL DRAWING Mechanical drawing is the art of representing objects on paper, or other Hat surface, by mea11s of projection of the objects on imaginary planes. A draw- ing of this sort is executed with the aid of instruments, such as compasses, scales, T-squares, triangles, etc., especially designed to facilitate its production. The term, mechanical drawing, often indicates the type of drawing used in the industrial world by engineers and designers to express and record the ideas and information necessary for the construction of machines and structures. This constitutes a graphic of written language. It can be read only by forming a mental picture of the subject represented. Skill in this language is indicated not alone by execution but by the ability to interpret impressions by visualizing clearly in space. Central, in its various drawing departments, offers training in this field to enable students to not only prepare drawings when necessary but to read and interpret drawings and blue prints. Page sixty-two AIRCRAFT ENGINE SHOP Central students are known for their know howf, They learn by doing. Nowhere is this more true than in the Aircraft Engine Shop' where excellent instruction is combined with practical experience in the testing, repair, and assembly of modern aircraft motors. In the Aircraft Engine Shop the most modern tools and devices are used, and know how is gained by working on late models of various types of air- craft engines. Central students are well prepared to fill the growing need for trained technicians in the Held of aviation. Page sixly-three AUTOMOTIVE SHOP Since the building of the early automobiles, the automotive and allied industries have advanced and progressed more than any industry in the World. Today there are millions of cars, with a like munber coming off the assembly lines. The automotive industry takes in more allied branches than any other. Some of these branches are: machinist, sheet metal, Wood, rubber, chemistry, welding, hydraulics, painting, electricity and foundry. Other branches of the industry include office practice, sales, service, store organization, advertising, managerial, supervisory and research. People all over the world are indebted to the industry for its ability to organize and produce the implements of war in the tremendous quantities which were required for victory. The automotive industry provides such a Wide range of opportunities for development that any qualified boy can be sure of steady employment. The educational opportunities offered in the Automotive Department of Central Vocational High School permit a boy to prepare himself to take ad- vantage of the Wide range of jobs open to him in this field. Page sixtyffour WELDING DEPARTMENT The art of gas Welding is one of our more recent scientific developments. Acetylene Was discovered by Edmund Davy, an English chemist, in 18365 but it remained a laboratory gas until the development, more than half a century later, of a carbide in commercial quantities. Thomas L. Willson, the American Electro rnetallurgist, in 1895, made the commercial discovery of calcium carbide. In the early days acetylene gas was used chieily as illuminating gas, but in 1907 the oxy-acetylene industry Was given a tremendous impulse by the dis- covery of liquid air oxygen. Electric Welding also had its inception during the latter decades of the last century, when De Meritens, XVerdermann and Thomson made valuable contributions in this field. Electric Welding did not come into general use until the early years of the present century. Central offers basic training in all forms of gas and electric Welding as they apply to the industrial world. Page sixty-Eve AVIATION SHOP Like other divisions of the Aviation Department, the Aviation Shop is under the direction of instructors who have had years of practical experience and training in every aspect of handling, servicing, and repairing different types of aircraft. In the Aviation Shop, students gain experience in servicing and repairing spars, ribs, fabrics, assemblies and rigging. In another section, students are taught aircraft construction, using both Wood and metal, With emphasis upon designing and making fittings, cable splicing, repairing tubing, forming and laminating metal, riveting, etc. In addition to work in the shop, students frequently Work at the airport making service checks of aircraft and learning procedures of line checks and handling log books.

P THE AUTO SERVICE SHOP Prehistoric man, legend tells us, carried his burdens on his back until he tamed and trained animals, especially horses, to become burden bearers. How- ever, man soon discovered that by fastening two poles astride a horse with the ends dragging the ground, heavier burdens could be carried. One day these dragging poles passed over a log and it began to roll which lightened the burden bv overcoming friction, and thus We are told a Wheel T I A 7 7 was born. From that chance discovery, down through the corridors of time until the present day, one of manls greatest assets in his struggle for existance has been the wheel. VVitl1 the discovery of the internal combustion gasoline engine during the closing decades of the last century, old dobbin has been replaced by the auto- mobile as manis chief burden bearer, and the blacksmith has given Way to the auto mechanic. For the past quarter of a century, Central has offered motor overhaul and tune-up training to young men of Cincinnati, and its graduates are doing their part in keeping todayis Wheels rolling. Page sixty-seven THE STOCK ROOM It has been said, and wisely so, that it's the little things of life that matter most, which is another way of saying that if We take care of lifes seeming trifles, the big problems will take care of themselves. In a school such as We have it takes innumerable parts to make up the warp and Woof of the instructional pattern, therefore, some provision must be made for the accounting of the various parts. The answer to the above problem is our stock room, which is depart- mentalized, catalogued and inventoried so that an accurate record is kept of all supplies. An interesting part of the stock room is the student store which is main- tained by a school fund for the benefit of the student body. Central is fortunate to have an efficient and smooth running stock room. Page sixty eight ELECTRICAL SHOP The study of electricity has becoine one of the most interesting and profit- able of man's pursuits. Electricity, with its many uses. is perhaps the inightiest force in the World today. The field of electricity is so broad, its opportunities so far-reaching, that the well-inforined trained worker in this line is assured profit- able employment and certain advancement. The Electrical Shop provides training of such theoretical and practical nature, that the student learns the fundamentals of electricity. He also becomes skilled enough to do the lesser jobs in electrical work. Given a broad foundation in electrical fundamentals, a desire to pursue further this interesting and use- ful subject is created. In the Electrical Course the student becomes familiar with the care and use of various tools and learns to work with safely and to do a good mechanical job of electrical Work. Page SIIXIU-771,770 WOODWORKING SHOP The art of Working in Wood has occupied an important place in the devel- opment of the civilization of the world. Perhaps the oldest recorded wood carving dates back to 4,000 B. C. in Egypt Where there is preserved a life-sized statue of a man. Down through the years man has turned to the use of Wood for utility and beauty. In our Wood shops and pattern making shops we offer training in the use of fundamental Woodworking tools While the related technical information is taught in the classrooms. Boys in these departments learn pattern making, furniture designing and home construction. Page seventy PHYSICAL EDUCATION One of the strongest instincts of man is to engage in activities for play and recreation. The ancient Creeks, believing in a sound mind in a sound body, fostered one of the finest programs of physical activity the world has ever known. Then, during the Dark Ages, the withering hand of asceticism was laid upon the physical body of man, and all things physical was subordinated to the achieving of spiritual excellence. The modern world is returning to the Creek ideal, and a wide range of physical activities is now sponsored and taught in thousands of gyinnasia and on thousands of playfields. Central has recognized the need for a well-balanced and coordinated program of physical activities in modern life, and a well-trained staff of experts directs and supervises a program of physical education which compares favorably with that offered anywhere. VVith new facilities projected for the near future, Central should assume a leading place in the field of physical education and athletics. Page seventy-one ANOTHER OF MAN,S DREAMS HAS COME TRUE For centuries man has watched the birds and wished that he, too, might Hy. Tennyson in his poem, Locksley Hall, written in 1842 when the poet him- self was only 33 years of age, typifies man's desire to fly in the famous couplets foretelling aerial commerce and warfare. It remained for two Dayton, Ohio, men, Wilbur and Orville VVright, to demonstrate in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that man could Hy. The above photo is that of a real plane mounted on the roof of Central which gives the students a chance to become acquainted with the construction and working parts of a modern plane. Page seventy-two COMMUNICATIONS SHOP The Communications Shop is a unit of our Electrical Department and offers training in the field of transmitting messages. VV e are mindful of the advancements made in the science of communica- tions. Even the layman, unfamiliar with the scientific and technical terms, appreciates the phenomenal advances made in this field during the past few decades. None but the foolish would hazard the guess as to what the future holds in this realm. As electricity carried the human voice around the World just so will it bring scenes to us from remote parts of the earth through tele- vision. Our instruction is designed to teach the basic principles of electrical science as they relate to this Heldg to provide an understanding of the purpose and design of the various prices of equipmeutg and to teach the skills necessary to perform the operation of assembling the units for the transmission of messages. Page seventy-three SHEET METAL SHOP It would he difficult to conceive of life in this modern World Without the use of sheet metal. The record of man's progress is in large measure the story of the long road he has traveled from the hammered work of the ancient As- syrians, Greeks, and Egyptians to the modern techniques of shaping iron and steel today. It is quite probable that the use of sheet metal industry will grow increasingly more important. In the Sheet Metal Shop the students are given a hroad theoretical and technical trainiiig so that they are prepared to go into various industrial fields a11d find profitable and worthwhile employment. The shop is Well equipped with modern machines and devices so that many useful projects, requiring initia- tive and skill, may he developed. Among projects of this type during the present year has been the designing and construction of 350 steel chairs for use in the auditorium. This Work requires the cutting and shaping of materials, ioining and spot Welding, finishing, and painting. Page seventy-four THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT In scicucc the attempt is made to present some fundamental principles ot the subject, reinforced with selected demonstrations. In this Way the pupils are equipped with a knowledge of the fundamentals of the subject matter in the fields of air, water, light, Weather, astronomy, biology, physiology, and certain aspects of geology and physics. There is also set up a series of visual aid programs to accompany class demonstrations and discussions. Central has several science rooms in the science department which cover the various subjects taught. Page seventy-Eve ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Man is the sole possessor of language-the essential medium of thought and expression. From that dim and distant age when pre-historic man conveyed ideas by means of signs and hieroglyphics carved on Wood and stone, in caves and in his tombs, man has progressed to the miraculous forms of communication which characterize the modern World. Thus, speech, or the manner of expres- sion, is a measure of the culture and advancement of a people. Since language is the medium of expression of ideas, and, therefore, the basis of learning, its correct usage and understanding is a iiecessary factor in all aspects of education. English, as taught at Central, has a functional aim. The study of English is a basic requirement in the study of all other subjects. Emphasis is placed on a study of the rules and of practical usage in reading, Writing and speaking. A growing understanding of Ways of expression develops self-reliance, initiative, and a sense of responsibility. As students realize that their importance in the world is determined by what they read, Write, and think, their life becomes richer and fuller. Page seuenlg-six HUIVIUES .,,,4 All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. - Shakespeare THE STUDENT COUNCIL During the war an organization known as the Victory Corps came into being at Central. Membership consisted of the entire student body. Its fune- tions were to assist in the national War effort wherever possible and to help the student body to adjust itself to war-time living. The organization did such a splendid job during the war that it was decided to have it carry on during peace-time days under the name of the Student Council. The Student Council now consists of one member from each home room group. From this group is elected an executive committee consisting of four officers and two members at large. Mr. Henry Drace is the faculty advisor and is a member of all committees ex officio. The Council is interested in and supports all Worthy activities of the school. Page seL'cr7lif-sever? THE RIDING CLUB From the needs of man grow the utilities of each age. In the early days of the nation when roads were poor or nonexistent, the only means of travelling over long distances was by horseback. Gradually a type of horse was developed, known as the American Saddle Horse, which could carry' the rider over long distances in good time and in comfort. As the need for saddle horses for trans- portation lessened, the need for recreation and exercise increased. And so the horse that was bred for utility became a means of pleasure and exercise. Then easy riding quality became secondary to beauty. Recognizing the values of horseback riding as a valuable means of afford- ing pleasure, exercise and self-coniidence, Mr. Berry, a riding enthusiast himself, organized and sponsored a riding club for the boys at Central. The club has grown not only in number, but in enthusiasm, and appears destined to become one of Centralis most popular and valuable activities. Page seventy-eight THE CENTRAL NEVVS STAFF Here are the boys who lieep the students of Central well informed by the weekly publication of the schoolls newspaper, The Central News. The paper is now in its twenty-fifth year of publication. lt is a miineographed sheet of eight pages, published every Thursday at no cost to the student. The staff is ren uired to father, edit. ty Je and iroof-read some 3,000 Words t , l 1 each week. The sheet is folded and assembled by the stait with the assistance of a few additional students. In addition to some standard Weekly features of varied interest, the paper is proud of its policy of up-to-date news in brief concise form. The paper is under the direction of Mr. Owen Sofko and all Work is done by the boys under his supervision. Page hCL'L'l7ltl-171-ITP THE RIFLE CLUB The Central Victory Corps Iunior Rifle Club Was organized in '43 to promote the sport of riHe shooting as Well as to help the boys who were joining our armed forces. XVorld War ll was Won because the American soldiers were better equipped and had better training than our enemies. Rifle shooting is one of the things a soldier must be able to do expertly. The object of the Rifle Club is to teach the boys of Central Vocational lligh School how to shoot and also how to handle a gun safely. The Rifle Club also teaches boys self-control and respect for others not only on the riHe range but in daily living as well. Throughout the Winter months, members of the club shoot at Brenda- iuouris inside range. ln the spring several 'cshootsv are held at one of the local outdoor ranges. In the early days of our country the pioneers had to learn to shoot a rifle for their own protection. Thus the use of the rifle has become traditionally an American sport. Let us hope that this American tradition will continue to be lor sport only and that We shall never need to take up arms against our fellow- men.

P11110 ciglily-ozic an-A 1 L if71?5i?553?'K 11 THE BOYS CLEE CLUB Nlusic, we are told, is the science of combining tones in melodic, rhythmic and harmonic order, so as to excite the emotions or appeal to the intellect. Nlusic in a very primative form dates back to the Palaeolithic Age but the basis for modern music is credited to the Chinese about the year 2000 B. C. In 600 B. C., Pytliagoras established the proportions of the intervals, and music was given a natural foundation. Through the early centuries following the birth of Christ, we are indebted to the Christian Church for preserving and nurturing the musical Hame that is ours to so widely enjoy today. Wlhen Central Vocational High School was formed a few years ago, choral rnusic was added to the regular program and out of this was born the four-part boys' glee club. From its inception it has proven a very popular cultural activity and has added much to the life of the school. VVe were proud indeed of the appearance of our glee club in the Spring Music Festival of the Cincinnati High Schools last spring and we predict the organization will continue to bring new honors to the school besides providing a source of real pleasure for the student body and faculty. Page eighty - I wo MY PLATFORM If I am elected to City Council during Boy's Week my first objective will be to attract conventions to Cincinnati. This can only be done by improving transportation facilities, such as super highways con- necting with state highways to lure more visitors and future residents to Cincinnati. Now that the war is over we need to strive to get an adequate municipal airport. No airline will bring four engine service to Cincinnati as long as Lun- ken Airport is used because of its poor visibility and size. More should be done to relieve the cityis slum districts in cooperation with state and federal govern- ment. Work should also be started on the redevelop- ment of the downtown water front districts. Rodent control should be increased as a means to better health and less property damage. Sewage disposal of this city is very bad as thou- sands of gallons of impurities are daily pouring into the Ohio River. There should be more decontamina- tion plants to take care of this disposal of waste materials. VVhy not secure the help of army engineers to speed up the long talked of flood wall before the next flood hits? A city as large as Cincinnati should have a municipal auditorium. More thought should be given to the health of school children. JOHN WILLIAM DALY VICE-MAYOR DURING BOYS, WEEK juvenile delinquency can be overcome only by the proper supervision of playgrounds and more clubs such as Youth Canteensf, The public should take greater interest in the competitive sports of our future generation in the new sports arena on the old Chester Park grounds. The city of Cincinnati is still blanketed by smoke pouring from our many factories, marring the beautv of Olll' city. The city should appropriate funds for a public library to serve the slum district. This would add much needed entertainment and education to this section. The Queen City must take an active interest in the industrial development of a peaceful nation by offering job opportunities through business expansion. Page eighty-three THE BOWLING TEAM The 1945-46 bowling season opened in September With 14 teams partici- pating. By the end of 1945 this number had been reduced to 10 teams but they were the strong teams in the league. Not strong in pin average but in spirit of bowlingfi and in earnestness of purposef, Competition was keen among the top five teams and many Hne scores were made to change the complexion of the line-up from time to time. Rivalry was keen but of the best possible nature in its application to the art of bowling. The Central squad that participated in the Cincinnati Public High School Bowling League did a masterful job against superior odds in many cases. Many high scores were registered and individual shots of the most complicated nature Were made from time to time, Although 'Kmissesv took prominence many times over ustrikesv and spares,', the overall picture of Central bowling is accented by a fine spirit of team-Work, cooperation and sportsmanship. These things, in the long run, Will build the character of students that we can refer to in the future years as, He is a product of Centralf, Page eighty-four CENTRAL ON THE AIR On January 21, 1946, Central Vocational lligh School boys had their chance to shine on VVlxllC,s program, lt,s Fun To Learnf, sponsored by the :Xlms LY Doepke Co. Each boy talked for about two minutes, giving some idea of the broad opportunities offered at Central, attempting to prove that it is lun to learn. The program was conducted by Nlr. Sid Cornell, who asked each boy a nuinber of questions pertaining to his special line of study at the school, bringing out important facts about the work in each division. The boys participating, and their topics, follow: Don Cronberg, Develop- ments in the Automotive Fieldg Howard Abernathy, The Future in Aviationg John Ceiser, The Fascinating Study of lillectrieityg lerry Spohr, Operations in the Mechanical Fieldg Pat Agnew, NVhat,s Ahead in the NVoodxvorking Field. Page eighty-Hue THE ANNUAL STAFF This issue will be the fourth in a series of annuals published by the Central Vocational High School. ln line with the nature of the studies in the school, the year book is known as 'The Craftsinanfi As Central is a composite of various smaller schools, just so is the annual an outgrowth ot various year books published by the smaller schools prior to their incorporation into one school. The annual is primarily published for and by the students of the senior class so that they might have a suitable remembrance of their high school days, however, the senior students have attempted to make it sutliciently interesting so that the casual reader may also be interested in its contents. Much of the written word is a product of the seniors and all of the advertising is solicited by them. The senior class is indebted to several of the teachers for their splendid help in an advisory capacity. Page eighty-six THE SCHOOL BAND An open letter to Mr. William Shakespeare: Dear Mr. Shakespeare: It may surprise you to hear from us, in fact you may wonder why wt- wrote you at all. Well, to tell you the truth we were a little hesitant at first because we also had in mind another great lnnnanitarian who by this time you must know, or most surely have heard of. He is a countryman of ours, if you please, by name, Abraham Lincoln. However, the real reason we chose you is because of something you said in one of your plays, and we quote, i'Then music with her silver sound, with speedy help doth send redressf, Now the point is, Mr. S., that here at Central Vocational High School we think music does this, and we are going to try to prove it. To begin with, we'll admit that these are Days that try men's soulsf, for our nation has just emerged from a terrible conflict, so terrible in fact, that as a result, the knowledge gleaned from this awful carnage, when applied to Wo1'lcl War Ill, is expected to totally obliterate civilization. Furthermore, we are realistic enough to know that proving anything will not be accomplished without a struggle, for there are those around us who are inclined to discredit what we do and say because they imagine us amongst the lowly. But we are sure of one thing and that is that to these self-appointed critics we shall answer in the words of that most lowly of men who said, Blessed are the meek and humble for they shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Then we shall gird up our loins, and using the words of your Hamlet, Go forth to take arms against a sea of troublesf and thereby carve out of the shale rock of Iowa Street a monument dedicated to the propositionv that industry and music can harmonize in a symphonic concord of sweet sounds. Sincerely, ' Members of the Central V. H. S. Band, Earl VV. Behrman, Director G. I. TRAINING For the second time in a generation, Central Vocational High School is again in the busi- ness of training and rehabilitating returned servicemen. The School had its inception at the close of XVorld War' I when, by the action of the Cincinnati Board of Educa- tion, the school was created to offer vocational training to servicemen. The task completed, the school began to offer vocational training to young men of high school age Whose aptitudes were in that direction. Since then it has become a very popular form of education. Now, again, in addition to the regular school program, Cen- tral is host to an ever increasing number of servicemen from World WVar ll. The training center is separate and apart from the regu- lar school program, being housed in the building in the rear of the High School of Graphic Arts on McMillan street. Herewith are several scenes showing G. l. Joes in training at the school.

Not pictured, Mr. Clark THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL The athletic program of our school is under the direction and control ot the athletic council, composed of a group of faculty members chosen for their interest and sympathy toward athletics. It has always been the policy of the school to offer a complete line-up of sports so that as many students as possible can be participants rather than spec- tators. To this end, the athletic council is charged with the responsibility of fostering, encouraging and nurturing the athletic program, securing suitable competition and seeing to it that all teams are properly clothed. Central is indeed fortunate in the fact that most of the members of the athletic council were actual participants themselves in years gone by andfor were coaches of teams in their own rights. Page eighty-n1'ne SCHOOLMASTERS BOVVLINC CHAMPS For the second ti1ne in four years a team, composed of faculty members of Central, has won the championship in the major division of the Cincinnati Schoolmasters, Bowling League. For this the team has been awarded a Champ- ionship Certificate by the American Bowling Congress. To prove that bowling is a popular recreational pastime with Central,s faculty, the records of the league show that for several years the school has had three teams entered in the league. Names of team members and their season averages follow: Mr. Tenhunfeld, 1745 Mr. Cahall, 1675 Mr. Henderson, 1665 Mr. Stephens, 1555 Mr. Kuns, 1445 Mr. McCee5 132.

Mr. Schmidt, formerly of Aurora, Indiana, ably handles the basket ball teams and acts in an advisory capacity for all other sports. Mr. Reisner, with many years at other local high schools, handles the cross country and track teams. Mr. Miller, formerly associated with various high schools and colleges, coached the football team for the past several years. Mr. Yeager, former star halfback with the UC Bearcats, will coach the football team next year and also handle the baseball team. Mr. Clark, faculty manager and member of the Cincinnati High School Athletic Board, handles the business affairs of the various teams. Page ninety-one A IOB VVELL DONE Mr. E. R. Miller came to Central in the autumn of 1943. He was persuaded to take over the football coaching in 1944. He has done an excellant job of coaching our teams. His profound knowledge of the game coupled with his gentlemanly conduct and fine sense of sports- manship have impressed and molded minds as well as physiques for a clearer, surer grasp of lifeis problems. Thank you. Coach Miller. Mr. E. R. Miller DEWEY WILSON No account of the athletic achievements of the Central Hornets would be accurate or complete with- out mention of one of the lads who, more than any other, embodies the spirit of the Hornet athletic organi- zations. Lacking the physical equipment necessary to compete on the various athletic squads, Dewey more than makes up for this loss by doing the menial tasks of supplying equipment to the boys and by minis- tering to their physical and spiritual needs. Through rain or shine, in victory or defeat, Dewey is ever ready with his smile, his sympathy, and his physical efforts to keep the boys of the teams physically and mental- ly equipped to give their best. Though his name will not be written in the re- cord books, his enthusiasm, his spirit, and his efforts are recorded fondly and permanently in the memory of the players, coaches, and supporters of the teams. Central pays tribute to one of her most loyal sons, Dewey NVilson.

While it is true that our Hornets wound up in the cellar', in the Public High School League, yet the team made an excellent showing against the other member teams and were beaten in each case by superior man power. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Ernest Miller and his staff for their hard and patient work with the team. The opening game of the season was with the fast but light team from Seven Mile, Ohio. It, of course, resulted in an easy victory for Central. Each player worked hard and the season was on with lots of joy and hope. The second game, our Hornets played another light team, Oxford Stewart. The Central eleven still had their stingers out from the preceding week and walloped the upstate boys. The next game of the season was played with Withrow, and the game saw Central suffer its first setback. The Hornets put up a valiant fight but were no match for the powerful Tigers. After a week of hard practice, the Hornets came back to the win by beat- ing the Plainville Blue Devils. The game was played in undesirable weather but it didn,t stop our driving Hornets. This game was played at Hartwell and a sizeable crowd attended. The cheer leaders were out for the first time, and their cheering helped our Hornets to an easy victory over the Warriors. This was the third time Central had held its foes scoreless. Our foe this week was the Woodward Bulldogs. The contest was staged at Walnut Hills and witnessed by a large crowd of Centralites. Our boys had their hearts in the game from start to finish but lost to the heavier team. The cheer leaders hit their stride for the year. This week our Hornets traveled to VVestern Hills on Thursday only to drop a hard-fought game to the powerful Maroons. The Central eleven held the Maroons to one touchdown in the first half but could not maintain the pace against such odds. Our Hornets ran into the passing attack of the Walnut Hills Eagles which they couldn,t do anything about. Our linemen stopped the Eagles running attack but our backfield couldnit stop the passes. The result-defeat. The last game of the season saw our Hornets take the worst beating of the season from the Hughes Big Reds. The game was played on a muddy field and our eleven proved ineffective.

Although our teams have never won a league game, we have caused some anxious moments for the other high school teams. The time will not be far oil, when we can meet them on their level, when we will win our share of games. Football practice starts about the middle of August of each year, and we wish to pay tribute to our teams who have the ambition and love for the game to come out for the grind ot the long tootball season. XVe at Central are not so much interested in whether they win or lose, but we are proud of the fact that our teams have always conducted themselves as gentlemen and have been a credit to the school. Fellows, our hats are off to you. Page ninety-five OUR RESERVES Wie believe it was the late Iohn McGraw, former manager of the New Xork C iints who onct nd A t 1 1 t o f tl i1t lstt te C ' t l ' ll ., sz ' , ui ez n is no s r n er ian ' s su J: i u sf' ftn ra has been fortunate in having a group of young men who have been satisfied to serve as the reserve team, for in them is our hope for the future. It is seldom that they come in for the plautlits of the crowd, but without them, a first team could not be, for it is they who act as Kchopping blocks, so to speak. for it is against them that the first team tries out its plays and becomes accustomed to playing against real competition. YVe wish to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our loyal reserves and w e know that the future is bright so long as we have young men like them upon whom to build our future teams. 111410 nzriuly-six CRUSS C0 TRY i' 'A' i' For the Hrst time in its history Central entered a cross country team in scholastic competition this year. Coached by Mr. Art Reisner, our team came in second in the public high school race. The first meet of the season was a dual meet Wtih Withrow. Our team coasted to an easy victory I9-36, The second meet was also a dual meet. This time it was with the Hughes Big Reds. The Big Reds had a good team but were surprised by the Hornets who came out on top by one point. The final count gave us 29 and Hughes 30. In the first city meet We had to be content with second place as We were no match for the veterans of Western Hills. The result Was West Hi first, Cen- tral second, Hughes third, Walnut Hills fourth and Withrow last. In the second city meet of the season the Hornets caught the Western Hills boys out of condition and Wound up in the first slot for this meet. Hughes came in second, Western Hills third, Walnut Hills fourth and Withrow still occupied the cellar. In the district meet on Oct. 20, our boys, with the state meet in mind, kcpt on the heels of the Western Hills Maroons and finished second to qualify. Running against the best in the state, our team did a fine piece of work in the state meet at Mansfield, Ohio. Aubrey Jenkins, Ronald Dunham, Donald Pursell and Shelby Moore received medals in this meet. In the final meet of the season our Hornets again faced the four other public high schools of the city. Again we ran second, Western Hills Hrst, Hughes third, Walnut Hills fourth and XVithroW last. The total scores for the three city meets are as follows: I-Western Hills 106, 2-Central 140, 3-Hughes 177, 4-Walnut Hills 289, 5-Withrow. CWithr0W failed to score in the second meet.Q Page ninety-seven THE CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Cross country running originated in Great Britain. Now we find it prac- ticed in nearly every country in the world except perhaps, those in the torrid zone. The varying nature of the ground, the changes in scenery running through woods and fields, and up and down hills characterizes this popular fall sport which finds favor with so many high school and college athletics. It was the custom for a group of distance runners in a small English town to hold Weekly races during the fall season. Tiring of the same course every week, they left the roads and took to the fields. They enjoyed the new venture so much that other groups took up the custom and soon there were running races in most of the communities of Great Britain. Aubrey Jenkins was the first to run cross country in our school, and he encouraged others to try it with the result that this year Central had its first cross country team. The hoys must have enjoyed it, for they defeated every team in the city in one race and finished the season in second place among the city high schools. lVe take this opportunity to pay tribute to our cross country team.

Luebbers hit the lime light for 12 points in this game. Page ninety-nine VARSITY BASKETBALL From its beginning in 1891 when Dr. james Naismith nailed two peach baskets to the running track in the Springfield, Mass. Y. M. C. A. College gym, basketball has grown by leaps and bounds until today more people play basket- ball and witness basketball than any other sport. It is the only true American sport, being the only one wholly originating in America and not being developed from some other sport. The height of the goals, ten feet, was derived from the height of the track above the floor and the size of the baskets, eighteen inches, was derived from the size of the peach baskets. The game has seen many changes since its beginning, including, number of players, nine to its present size - five, elimination of the center jump, the ten and three second rules and the number of fouls for disqualification from three to four and finally five. Central enjoyed its most successful season on the hardwood this year compiling a record of seven wins against ten losses in scheduled play. This year,s quintet set several firsts for Central: CD won more league games fwon four, lost sixj to finish fourth in the P. H. S. L., first team to defeat a league team twice QWVithrowjg Hrst team to end the season basketball teams in three years before. All this despite the poorest facilities for practice of any high school in the South VVestern Ohio, QDeer Creekj and the fact that all games must be played away from home. The loss of six members of this year,s varsity squad will be keenly felt but five returning letter men from this yearis varsity squad plus capable replace- ments from this year's reserves, should produce a formidable Hornet quintet. Page one hundred RESERVE BASKETBALL This year's edition of the alittle' Hornets began to develop their stingers early. Starting the season with a defeat by Oxford Stewart, they soon came to life. To give some idea of the speed with which they developed, they dropped a game to Walnut Hills on Ianuary 18 only to defeat the same team February 19 by a score of 20-19. The season was finished with S wins and 9 losses to best the varsity by one and amassed the longest winning streak - four galnesg their last four. As go the reserves, sp go future teams. Congratulations to a swell bunch of fellows and good luck in the season to come. Page one hundred and one FRESHMEN BASKETBALL This yea1 s freshmen team, like the varsity and reserves, was the best in Central,s history, although not Winning as many games as either of them. Plagued throughout the year by ineligibility and players dropping out, they defeated Wlestern Hills and VVoodWard in league play and lost several others by very narrow margins. They dropped their last game in the tournament to NValnut Hills by a sc-ore of 27-21. Several players of this squad will be valuable additions to next year,s reserves. Page one hundred and two THE TRACK TEAM The track team, under the guidance of Mr. Arthur Reisner, is in the process of welding a group of stout hearted aspirants into a fighting team. Mr. Reisner, in his lirst year at Central, is going back to grass roots to build for the future, believing that a Hghting spirit and a will to win are essential to success. As we go to press, the team has participated in a meet with Norwood High School, losing by a score of 57 to 52. The seasonis schedule follows: April 8- Central vs Norwood 17 - Central vs VValnut Hills and Hughes 25 - Central vs Withrow and Covington 30- Central vs Walnut Hills and Western Hills May 4 - K of C Relays at Withrow 11 - Miami Relays at Oxford, O. 13 - City Preliminaries at VVithr0w 14 - City Finals at Withrow 17 - District Preliminaries at VV ithrow 18 - District Finals at Withrow 24- State Preliminaries at Ohio State U. 25 - State Finals at Columbus, O.

W From The Other Wise Man - Henry Van Dyke I Chester A. fBaronD Peters THE MYSTERY OF THE MOOSE HEAD by BARON PETERS A recent visitor in the home of the great 'Baroni Peters noticed a mounted moose head hanging over the fire place. Questioning the Baron as to whether it was a gift or a prize kill of one of his hunting expeditions, the visitor received this reply. It is well known that I am a small game hunter Qperhaps Mugwumps, eh, Baronj and it is neither a gift nor a prizef, The Baron went on to tell this story. Several years ago, while living in one of our wild western states, I was returning from the village after a pur- chase of itching powder when suddenly I heard thundering hoof beats and turned in time to see a large bull moose bearing down on me with head down, all set for the kill. I quickly side-stepped the animal and threw the itching powder and hit the moose on the back and said moose came to a sudden halt and began to scratch himself. For three and a half days, I stood there and watched the moose scratch himself until nothing remained but his headf, I then carried the head home and had it stuffed and mounted, so you see, it is the product of ingenuity rather than skillf, Page one hundred and five f .

These men are being trained in the machine shop, where they will be given ninety days of training before being placed in industry. VVhen their training is completed, these men will take their places With sighted men in industry. According to records of the State Industrial Conn- mission, no 'lost time, accidents occured among sightless Workers in industry in the State of Uhio for the past nine years. Records also prove that production is as good and in some cases is better on certain jobs performed by the sightless than that performed by the sighted.

BEHRMAN It was while standing on the site of the great battle of Bull Bun Che sure didj that Iohn Philip Sousa gave to the world that famous utterance, Give me liberty or give me death - - - then again it might have been Richard Wagner, while standing on the corner of Dunn and Bradstreet in Gotterdammerung, Switzerland trying to think of the phone numbers of the Valkyries, who said Dust thou art and the spring rains will settle you,', - - - then it might have been Mephistopheles, who said, Spend your winters with us and be warm, or was it Vulcan who cried out in despair, 'iMy kingdom for a blacksmithf, but what we started to tell you was that Central has on its staff the missing link between culture and the work-a-day world. A man who, with one fell swoop, can stand with one foot on the cloud of aestheticism and the other planted amid the noise and smoke of the busy shop. One who can harness the rhythmic swing of the beating hammer to make it serve his purpose in producing a symphony of sounds from a school band to make a perfect symbiosis. We are happy to present Mr. Earl VV. Behrman in a typical pose while directing our school orchestra in the rendition of The Anvil Chorusv written by the village blacksmith. He wields such a hot baton that members of the band are forced to wear asbestos uniforms and Mr. Behrman is at his best with the smoke of the weld- ing shop in his nostrils. Nice going, Earl!

I 'r 1 BETTER SERVICE FOR ALL Good telephone service requires more than instruments, wires and central office equipment-more even than operators, linemen, engineers and installers . . . it also requires the thoughtful co-operation of the men, women and young people who use it. Short conversations, courteous sharing of party lines, being sure of your number before calling, and similar practices are essential to good telephone service. We in the telephone industry are constantly striving to provide a high quality system to serve the needs of our community, but the degree of satisfaction the service affords depends much on how it is used.

Fourth St Cincinnati Z, Ohio Home Room 330 Birthday Unknown The date of the origin of the lathe is lost in the haze of antiquity. Yet it is the one machine tool that made possible the building of steamboats, locomotives, motors, power-driven machinery, road building and excavating machines, tractors, automobiles and scores of other machines that do the heavy and the light work of life. The lathe has been the mainspring of our industrial greatness . . . the master tool that has helped us out-produce the world. The student or trainee who soon will be a lathe operator in industry is joining a proud group of craftsmen-skilled technicians who have contributed much to America's industrial greatness. We salute the future operators and builders of the machine lathe, the master tool of them all-birthday unknown. The R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Co.
