'I Central1t1s gi Physicians Inform us of a new disease, namely Centralltis. It is a very ll peculiar disease affecting only students of the Central Pre School. All 1 . P . gl students are susceptible but only a few get a severe attack. lnfectlon takes 3 place in the fall through intimate contact with student activities. The symp- toms are: a sudden retiring nature and a slight delinquency in studies and Q' a mania for collecting numerous queer books of odd colors and in various stages of mutilation. The sufferer in delirium can be heard muttering such i words as Diamond D, Mable Sykes, Moco and Tip ins. 5 The disease when concentrated makes necessar the cutting of classes, and ,I . . . .y 5 ln extreme cases, dropping of subjects or flunklng altogether. These poor QI unfortunates become lean and worn, and show the effects of much labor, worry, and lack of sleep. Their associates and even their immediate families L consider them boresome because they rave constantly of their troubles and El worries. Profs sadly shake their heads on seeing them. ' ln late spring, however, just when it seems as if these victims may be lost f to us altogether, they take a new hold on life and get over itg but they are 3 never the same. E' The Hi-Y Club The smoothest and deadliest group of honorable students that ever trod -- the musty halls of Central was the old l-li-Y. Soft but thick of mind, hard of head but thin of hair, small in stature but flabby of body, with plenty 'I . . . . . QI of grit but little of money, they clumslly propagated their four ideals: Foul tl S eech, Dirt Habits, Punk Scholarship, and Bum Sports. P y ' Clad in checked caps, jersies, corduroy pants, bull dog button shoes, and il porous knit underwear, they socked their way into the hearts of all. Peepers f were blackened, nostrils caved in, molars knocked out, blood spilled, and ' students discouraged by their overwhelming friendliness and smashing ways. Q Never before did a group become so permanently felt. . Many a student can testify to their worthlessness and their being the cause A of his downfall. 5, il I History Teacher: Say, Cohn, is somebody prompting you? - Cohn: No, sir, history repeats itself. - as as -is 1 Miss Wagner: l m thinking seriously of taking up some sport.

Caesar- Cleo, old girl, it's been all kinds of fun seeing you but l gotta be going. Sorry to have to leave but that upstart son of Mithridates is stirrin' things up in Asia something awful. Cleopatra- Aw, Caesie, boy, you can't leave just now. l've so many things planned. My ballet master has been workin' the legs off'n the girls an' tomorrow night they're gonna do their stuff in the onyx room an' you just gotta stay an' see them. An' the next day we're gonna fish for carp. The Nile, you know, is the world's greatest carp stream. An' the day after that we're gonna do the Pyramids. You can't expect to hold up your end at home if you don't see them, you know. And the next day l gotta surprise. No, Caesie, you can't run away like that. Caesar- But, Kid, I gotta fix this thing in Asia an' then make a beeline for Rome. Got something terrible important to do. Cleopatra- Aw, g'wan, tell. l know l'm only a weak, lone woman. Nothing at all compared to a big, strong, smart man like you, but mebbe I can help. G'wan, tell. Caesar- Well-you see, it's about my hair. A feller in Rome had been working on it for some time and just when the results should have come out, along came this stupid war an' gummed up the works. An' now I- Cleopatra- Oh, for the cryin' out loud. Now you wanna leave me for some moth-eaten hairdresser in Rome. An' me with the greatest little hairdresser there ever was, right here in the palace. Listen, boy friend, this guy can make hair grow on a mummy. Caesar- Really? Cleopatra- Honest an' truly. I'll send him around in the morning an' in a couple of months you'll have such a flock of alfalfa that you'll have to buy yourself a new chapeau. An' that's no applesaucef' Caesar- l-lonest? Cross your heart an' hope to die? Cleopatra- Surest thing you know. Stick around. Besides you've been workin' awf'ly hard lately an' need a rest. Stick around. Caesar- Well-l do need a rest, but if this feller is a foul ball, well-no- body's kidded Caesar yet an' lived. Now let's eat. Them cross-word puzzles make me hungry. H. B. SCHElDE.lVlANTE.L. . Salesmanship Student: Young lawyers are a necessity. Law Student: Why? S. S.: Because necessity knows no law. L. S.: Very clever, but young salesmen are the most independent people in the world. S. S.: How come? L. S.: They take orders from no one. lPage 951 -W..Eum '.1' ' ' ' T ' ' 'T ' ' ' ' ' ' - ' - ' -1.7 ' Ink?-ECM---QJ.7mT,3w--ul'Fnhivi-lT16nWvnix-finiuii ' ' - ' '1T. -FF ' TLT ' T.

The Happers all go wilcl for him, l just can't understand, They see a dandy on the screen And sigh, Chl Ain't he grand? You think they'd fall for he-man stuff, A guy who kills to save, And finds a damsel in distress Who tells him he's so brave. That stuffs all in the movies now: You'll never find it true. l guess llll have to change my ways And be a dumb sheik too.
