FOREWORD The members of the 1934 Sphinx Annual Staff have tried to present a pictorial review of school life. As the favorite Mother Goose Rhymes bring back fond memories of child- hood, we hope that in like manner, the scenes presented in this Annual will remind you of happy occasions exper- ienced in your youth. Should these pages give some slight satisfaction to 'you who read them, and aid you to re- call bright memories of former days our task will have been completed and our goal attained. Barbara Diehl, Editor. x .4 TABLE OF CONTENTS SCHOOL Administration Seniors Underclassmen ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES FEATURES The picture of the experienced, wise frog giving advice unto the little, young frog is comparable to the faculty of a high school teaching unto the youth of the nation. Since the beginning of time there have always been those whose work it is to teach and those whose duty it is to learn. The youth of today has discov- ered that in order to live a life of achievement it is necessary to learn from those who already possess great knowledge.

But this beautiful volume can represent only character- istic plimpses of the varied drama of the school life of C. T. H. S. Enough is shown, however, to impress upon every mind the im- portance of our great, free educational institutions. Through these schools lies the way to a more efficient and enlightened civilization. May it be your purpose to partake abundantly of these educational opportunitiesg and may the pages of this Annual serve to keep alive in your memory the obligations you incurred to perpetuate for all posterity free education.

Miss Cairns first began teaching the Ccntralia City High School students in 1894 when the high school rooms were located in th: Central School. During her thirty-six years of teaching she has watched ch: Centralia Township High School grow into one of th: finest educational institu- tions in all the State of Illinois. Miss L. Cairns has taught algebra and Latin to hund- reds of students who will always cherish the memory of the gentle and kind lady. Page Twenty-five In Memoriam MR. GLEN BROWN Mr. Glen Brown came to Centralia in the year 1933. He taught bookkeeping, typing II and commercial law. He also was one of the sponsors of the newly organized Commercial Honor Club. Mr. Brown was born in Odell, Illinois. He graduated from the Illinois State University in 1929 with a Bachelor of Education degree. He has had several years' teaching experience, having taught in Williamsburg, Illinois, for the past three years. In the short time that Mr. Brown was teaching in Centralia Township High School he very quickly won a place in the hearts of those who were acquainted with him. There is no death! what seems so, is transition, This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life Elysian Whose portal we call death.-Longfellow. Page Twenty-six In Memoriam , fri? Q, ai , t MISS PAULINE WHEATCRAFT Miss Pauline Wheatcraft was the mathematics instructor at the Centralia Township High School for a period of fourteen years. She came to Centralia in 1920, after having graduated from Frank- lin College, which is located near Indianapolis, Indiana. Miss Wheatcraft was one of the few faculty members who has served for a number of years at C. T. H. S. Miss Wheatcraft was a friend to all of the students and was always eager to sponsor any of their outside activities. During this prseent year she was a sponsor of the Delphic Literary Society and in former years she has sponsored other leading organizations. Death is the privilege of human nature, And life without it were not worth our taking Thither the poor, the prisoner, and the mourner Fly for relief, and lay their burdens down.-By Rowe.

Radio Class The radio class is a new class which was first taught in the Centralia Town- ship High School this present year of 1934. The radio class has taken its place in the curriculum of many modern American high schools. Because of the scien- tific invention of radio a new field of research and work has been opened up to the men and women of the world. Thus, a radio class will teach many boys and girls the fundamentals of an interesting and worthwhile subject. The radio class, which was taught at C. T. H. S. during the present year, was a class composed entirely of boys, who were very much interested in the radio. The instructor who taught the radio class was Mr. Spencer. This class met the first period every day for one semester. Mr. Spencer taught the boys the principles and fundamental facts about the radio. These boys in the radio class also studied the uses of the radio, and they learned the various parts of the radio and the relation of those parts to the complete radio set. All the boys in the radio class have found that the time spent in that class was well spent, as they absorbed much valuable knowledge of the radio. Page Twenty-eight Back Row. foreground to back-F.

Personal Typing Class Ar the request of a large number of the students in che Centralia Township High School a new course, called personal typing, was added to the curriculum during the year 1934. It was a one semester course, which was held the fourth pcriocl under the direction of the typing teacher, Mr. Rau. In the past years the students have had to take the regular business typing course, even though they were not interested in the business side of typing, but in the personal side of the subject. There were students who wished to learn to type in order that they could save time by typing long themes, outlines, and reports, which they would have to do in their high school and college work. lVIr. Rau first taught these students how to finger the keyboard and he taught them the necessary principles of typing business letters. The class next took up the correct methods of typing personal letters. Near the end of the semes- ter Mr. Rau taught these students the things which were of especial interest to them. The personal typing course has been very successful this year and makes the curriculum of our high school more complete. Page Twenty-nine ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON Mr. O. M.

S. has undergone many changes during the year of 1933- I934. We are sorry that some changes which took place in our high school were not those which we like, but we are glad to say that most of the changes were! very happy ones. When school was resumed in the fall of 1933, the students discovered many outstanding improvements in our buildings. The library had a shiny new floor and in the library was a new steel cabinet for phamplets. There were some new bookshelves. In C Building small lockers were installed on the second floor for the use of students who eat in the Cafeteria. The Athletic Field was much better illuminated this year because of new light bulbs for the flood lights. A new spectator fence was also erected, which replaced the barb-wire fence of former years. When school first began we had three new teachers added to the faculty. They were Mr. Glen Brown, commercial work, Mr. Harold Brown, English, and Miss Ruth Clay, stenography. During the year Miss L. Cairns retired from high school and Mr. Huck took her place. Two instructors, Mr. Glen Brown and Miss Pauline Wheatcraft, and two students, Margaret Neimeyer and Ruby Porter, passed away during the school year. There were two new courses added to the curriculum of C. T. H. S. These were a radio class and a personal typing class. Three clubs which were added to the activities of our high school were the Commercial Honor Club, the Dramatic Debate Club, and the Shorthand Reading Club. Centralia Township High School had an outstanding athletic season dur- ing the year 1934. The football team won the North Egypt Conference and gained state wide reputation as an excellent team. The basketball team won the District Tournament at Carlyle, the Sectional Tournament at Salem, and the Pontiac Tournament. The basketball team also played in the Illinois State Tourna- ment at Urbana, Illinois. In the Halloween Parade the Senior Class entered a float representing the country, Bohemia, the Junior Class represented Mexico, the Sophomore Class de- picted England, and the Freshman Class represented China. Both the Senior and Junior classes were awarded Honorable Mention for their floats. The year has been very eventful and all the students are proud of Cen- tralia Township High School.

Senior Class History Slowly, slowly, the curtains are pulled aside and the large class of 1934 views with wonder and amazement the happenings of the past four years. As freshmen they see the need of organization and choose as their presi- dent, Lowell Spurgeon, vice president, Roy Frazier, secretary-treasurer, Louis Malone, and sponsor, Miss Hartley. They elected Nell Greenwalt and Barbara Diehl as their lVlay Queen attendants. The year draws to a close, the curtain falls, and Scene I of their school life is over. In their sophomore year these students elect Lowell Spurgeon as presi- dent, Gerald Keller, vice president, Alphonse Paluslci, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Montgoinery, sponsor. Their Nlay Queen attendants are Nell Greenwalt and Dorothy june Jensen. Again the curtain falls, and Scene H comes to a close. i As juniors these young people elect Lowell Spurgeon, president, Vernon Struck, vice president, Gerald Keller, secretaryg Harold Sweckard, treasurer, and Miss Kessing and Mr. Atkins, sponsors. Their May Queen attendants are Nell Grecnwalt and Dorothy June Jensen. Later in the year we see them staging the class play, Qiwho Wouldnit Be Crazy, with huge success. The Junior-Senior Reception is a very happy occasion. The curtain is falling again. Scene IH is over. The curtain rises and we see them again-dignified seniors of C. T. H. S. They elect Lowell Spurgeon, president, Berthold Baldridge, vice president, Gerald Keller and Bud Lent, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Spurlin, sponsor. Barbara Dizhl is chosen May Queen and her attendants are Sue I-laussler and Helen Rose Craig. The class play, MSO This ls Londonn is the hest play ever presented at our high school. Now we see these youths for the last time, in gray cap and gown, receiving their diplomas, and bidding farewell to the friends and Alma lxlater, which they leave behind. Wfirh a heavy thud the curtain falls for the last time, and fainter anil fainter we hear them shouting: Life is a game, shall we play ic?,' Page Thirty-three Lester Arning 1Slim3 Ross Arendell 1Red3 Track 11. 3. 43, Future Farm- ers 11, 2, 3.3.

TROUT The Athletic Season With seven positions to be filled on the first team, Coach A. L. Trout had a difficult time packing a team, but as usual, after he had reached into his so-called grab-bagn the required amount of times, he got together one of the most success- ful football teams he has ever coached. Although the Troutmen had a hard schedule before them they started out on the right foot and defeated every team they played except two, which they tied. We will have five first string men back next year. For the third time in his athletic career Captain Lowell Spurgeon was placed on the state all-star first team. With the same difficulties facing him in basketball as in football Coach Trout managed to get together a winning combination at the start of the season. Centralia suffered only three defeats out of twenty-five of the regular schedule games. Our basketball team this year was one of the tallest we have had in a long time. During the Christmas holidays a squad of thirteen boys journeyed to Pontiac to attend and play in the Pontiac Invitational Tournament, and they brought back the bacon, so to speak. The team won first place in the tournament and Capt. Lowell Spurgeon was placed on the first all-star team and also fied for first in the free throw contest. Centralia won the District Tournament at Carlyle and they also won the Sectional Tournament at Salem. The last tournament that Centralia was able to attend was the State Tournament at Champaign, and although Centralia lost to Quincy, they made a creditable showing and Quincy won the State Championship. Centralia held Quincy to th! lowest difference in scores of the whole tournament. So let us salute the basketball and football teams of 1934. They played well and we are proud of them. Spurgeon Morgan North Lowell Spurgeon 1LubiefJ . Tu ,env ...nf Mooney Struck McClelland Frank Mooney lBeel With the big reputation of the Mooney family to live up to, Bee held his own against any- thing and everything in the form of competition. Bee played right halfback on the first team. He will be back next year. Vernon Struck 1QDizl Struck, with two years of experience behind him played real varsity football at halfback. I-le is one of the boys that helped C. T. H. S. make the grade. Jack McClelland tglackiel Jackie was a stick of dynamite. He had lots of pluck and filled the fullback's shoes per- fectly. Lowell Spurgeon, better known as Lubie, was the best football player that has ever attend- ed C. T. l-l. S. He has gained state-wide recogni- tion as an excellent player and very unfortunately for Centralia he will not be back next year. Carl Morgan 1Pigel Pige earned a position on the all-star team this year. He had the pleasure and satisfaction of breaking up the plays that came around his end. Dwight North liSeuml Playing at end North came through with real varsity ability as his record shows. I-le will be missed from the line-up next year. Page Seventy-vfour Captain Spurgeon Sligar Wird Perryuran Jack Sligar 4Slickl Slick was the biggest as well as one of the most powerful boys on the team. He will be back next year and we shall expect much from him. Floyd Ward 4lWardl Ward is another small boy who showed Coach Trout that small boys can do big things. At guard, he played a cool steady game without many set-backs. He will not be back next year. Harvey Perryman fBudJ Starting out on the second team, Bud work- ed his way to a position as center for the first team. He did much fighting and hard playing. He will be back next year. '41-45 Keller Klein Welborn G erald Keller lDocJ Frank Mooney Captain-Elect Doc earned a reputation as the best block ing guard that Centralia has ever had. He gained state-wide reputation at that position. This was his last year in C. T. H. S. football. Reinhardt Klein lfKlein3 Playing his first year on a varsity football team, Klein held down his position at tackle in fine shape. He will be a big asset to next year's squad. George Welborn lJittery Georgej George was a good man in the game of football, and when called on he always played very well. Page Seventy-five Tu BTBHSZH Garnier Castellari Fred Branson fTubbl Tubb will be back next year and he will be an asset to next year's team. He has lots of grit and determination, so he just can't fail to make the team next year. Ira Garnier 1FrenchieJ Frenchie was a good quarterback, but he had a little hard luck. Spurgeon was playing first team quarterback so he didn't see much action, but when he did get into the game he certainly played well. Raymond Castellari fCa.ste1lariJ Castellari was the toughest boy on the Sand . . . . Hawaii: team. He was afraid of nothing which is the Lloyd reason he will greatly help the team next year. Ray Sanders lMoochJ Mooch played his last for C. T. H. S. this season. He would play next year but he has already played as many years as are permitted in C. T. H. S. Eugene Hawley fBluJ Blu was what one might call the alternate end. When North or Morgan was disabled Blu took his place very ad- mirably. He will be back next year. Lambert Loyd tLammieJ Lammie will be back next year and with his experience behind him he ought to do big things for C. T. H. S. The Kick-off Page Sevenfty-six . fi t Robinsc n Owen Wham John Robertson 1JohnnyJ The only reason Johnny didn't play on the first team this year was that a team can only have eleven players. Johnny has played for two years and we shall miss him next year. Martin Owen 4iSatehoh Satcho could always go in the game and do his share when called on to deliver football action. I-Ie played the first part. of the year on the third team, but he ended the season playing on the second team. Robert Wham fBobib Bob was tall and strong but due to unex- perience he filled in as substitute center on the second team. With a year of experience Bob P1 would have made the grade but unfortunately 12552311 he graduates this year. C,rte110ni Walter Plassman fPri1lD Prill worked his way up from the third team to the second by his display of football knowledge. We shall miss him next year. Dudley Klamp 1Su11y5 Sully could always be relied upon to fill the tackle position when needed. Sully was a good football man. Frank Cortelloni Frank was a trustworthy football player. He will be back to play for C. T. H. S. again next year. A Right End Play Page Seventy-seven Back Row. left to right--Mr. Corbell, Mr. Lutz, R. Saunders, I. Garnieru L, Loyd, W. Plass- man.

This game featured the start of Spurgeon's brilliant running. Friday, September 22, Centralia journeyed to Johnston City where a score- lcss game was played. Friday, September 29, Benton came to Centralia and after a hard fought battle returned home beaten Z-0. The only score was a safety made by Centralia. in the first quarter. On October 6, Centralia went to Evansville and a tie, 14-14, resulted. This was a very interesting game all the way through. Friday, October 13, Centralia trounced Carlyle 66-0. The second team saw service a lot in this game. Friday, October 20, Centralia played their first conference game at Salem. The Troutmen won this game 33-O. Saturday, October 28, Centralia continued their winning streak by beating Lawrenceville 31-O. This was the second conference game. - Friday, November 3, Centralia defeated Murphysboro 45-0 and the follow- ing Saturday, November ll, defeated Beaumont 47-6. Friday, November 17, Centralia played their third conference game beating Olney 42-13. Our annual Turkey Day Classic on November 30, featured Centralia trounc- ing, walloping, and decidedly defeating Mt. Vernon 43-0. This game wound up the football season and C. T. I-1. S. held the North Egypt Conference Title. They were recognized champions of Southern Illinois. This team had a state-wide repu- tation as being one of the best teams of Illinois.

S. who like to participate in the sport of a football game but who are unable to make the first squad which is coached by Mr. A. L. Trout. For just such boys as these the B Squad was originated. These boys are under the capable direction of Mr. H. Lutz, known to the boys as Lutz. Mr. Lutz taught these boys the fundamental principles of football. The boys also learned some of the well-known football plays and maneuvers. Mr. H. Lutz demonstrated and taught them the correct and best ways to tackle an oppo- nent. He also taught the boys how to kick the ball and how to pass it. Mr. Lutz trained his team so well that many of the boys were placed on the varsity second team before the football season was over. The Bn Squad,s football schedule was exceedingly short, but it provided lots of excitement for these football players. Their schedule consisted of two games with the Salem team. Both of these games were won with big scores by the boys of Centralia Township High School. This idea of the BH Squad under the supervision of the assistant coach has proved to be a success. It provides excellent sport for a large group of boys and strengthens the athletic program of our high school.

Dwight North 1fScumJ Scum was what you might call the right hand man of the second team. Whenever the team needed a substitution Scum could be count- ed on to fill the position to the best of his ability. Jack Sligar 1fSlickJ Playing his third year of basketball Slick could always be relied upon when an experienced man was needed. Morgan Focht BenefiL1d Carl Morgan fPigeJ Pige played half the season on the second Co-Captains Elect-Waterbury and Branson team and he will be back for half a season next year. If he does as well next year as he did this year we will be well satisfied. Harry Focht CHairbreadth Harryj Hairbreadth played a hard steady game whenever he was called on. Hairbreadth will be back next year, and he will be a valuable asset to the team. Carl Benefield fBennyD Benny was the best shot on the second team and whenever Benny played he worried the opposition considerably. He will be back next year. Page Eighty-one 'fi will.

S. began a highly successful basketball schedule by defeating West Frankfort 31-20 and by beating Evansville 36-34. The Troutmen were beaten by Vandalia 32-19. , The next two games were easily won by the Troutmen, who defeated Flora 42-31 and Carlyle 27-19. They defeated Fairfield 31-29 and M.t Carmel 32-28. All of these games were conference games. During the Christmas Holidays C. T. H. S. won the Pontiac Tournament by winning over Fairbury 31-16, Dwight 39-18, Quincy 26-255 and in the finals, Ben- ton 34-28. Starting the new year out wrong Centralia was defeated by Mt. Vernon 39- 23 and by Bridgeport 22-18. These were both conference games. The next week C. T. H. S. trounced Olney 40-20, and avenged themselves by defeating Vandalia 44-38. Cn January 19, and 20, Centralia beat Flora 56-18 in a conference game and nosed out Johnston City 38-37. The next weelc Centralia defeated their old rival, Salem, 49-20, which was a conference game. The Troutmen defeated Olney 28-20, and Lawrenceville 34-19. The next three games were conference games which C. T. H. S. won. They defeated Salem, Fairfield and Bridgeport. Centralia won the District Tournament by defeating Pocahontas 53-223 Trenton 30-16, and Ashley 36-19. The last game of the regular schedule was lost to Johnston City. Going on to the Sectional Tournament Centralia also continued to win.. They defeated Altamont 62-15 to set a record for the highest Sectional Tournament score in the state, Salem 25-23 and Mt. Vernon 43-33. Theoretically the next tournament C. T. H. S. should have talcen was the. State Tournament, but they wound up the season of 1933-34 by losing to Quincy 31-23. Quincy went through the rest of the tournament and won the state Champ- ionship title. Page Eighty-'two Top Row, lefttoright-Scott, Van Arvion, Horton, Copple, Wham, Lamblin, Stonecipher.

Lutz's Basketball Squad Mr. Harry Lutz, better known as just plain Lutz, certainly is filling the shoes of an assistant coach to perfection. It is his duty to train the boys who are interested in basketball but who were unable to make one of Trout's teams. By. special training these boys sometimes develop into excellent players, and they can be uscd later to fill positions on the A squad. This work of Mr. H. Lutz is not only a great help to Coach Trout, but it also insures better material for A squad.. Mr. H. Lutz taught the boys all the little details that go to make up a good team. They spent much time learning how to dribble, how to pass, and how to shoot the ball. These boys learned how to guard well and how to jump when play- ing at center. They also had lots of fun playing games among themselves. These games tended toward improving the skill of these boys in basketball. This year, Coach Lutz not only succeeded in training the boys for future. use, but two members of his squad were placed on the first varsity team during the. SSHSOI1. In basketball the B squad played Dix, Illinois, on two occasions. The. B squad of C. T. H. S. won from them once with a score of 19-13, and they. were defeated once by the Dix boys with a score of 32-14. ' The Bu squad also beat Irvington with a victory of 50-9. The local all-stars were beaten twice, 19-18 and 20-21 by Lutz's squad. YVe have ample proof that the boys of C. T. H. S. are learning the funda- mental principles of basketball from Mr. H. Lutz. These boys are being benefited and they are deriving much pleasure from the grand sport of playing basketball. Page Eighty-three Standing, left to right-Mr. Clarida, J. B. Smith. Distance: D.

Nearly all students fulfill this requirement in their freshmen year. However many boys take it several years just for the enjoyment. The three competent teachers of the classes are: Mr. Trout, Mr. Lutz and Mr. Lichtenwalter. Each has one or more classes. These classes are usually large, but their needs are adequately supplied by having the privileges of using the gym, the track, and the boys, locker room and showers. The exercises taught are calenstentics, tumbling and basketball, with a smattering of football, track and other sports. In the calenstentics or exercises, of which there is a most complete set, prac- tically every muscle in the body is brought into play. Many exercises are for safe- ty in sports, such as the ones to develop the neck. Many are running' exercises which tend to enable one to run faster. Some exercises are for quickness, coordi- nation, some for better health, and still others for various purposes. These exer- cises are useful throughout the later life of the student. It is noticeable that many students thought it impossible to get so tired in such a short time as in taking exercises properly. Tumbling is taught in order to teach the student to take care of himself in case of falls. Many tricks are learned in the study of tumbling. Basketball is played and taught in these classes. It is in these games that much of the raw ma- terial for basketball teams is found. In these classes some of the rudiments of dribbling, shooting and passing are taught. And last but not least the familiar command, l'All out and once around the track, brings its share of exercise and learning. All in all the gym classes are fun as well as educational and should appeal to all boys. Page Eighty-five adflgi N1 Left Pyramid, top to bottom-B. Nettles, E. Brough. F. Bozart, L. Mayberry, G.

Yes, here they are, dressed in their blue rompers, chins up, full of pep, and safe and sound after a year of bumps and tumbles. Approximately three hundred girls were found enjoying themselves in the gym classes this year, under the supervision of Miss Bourne. They started the year off with the banging of tennis balls, and found it a very enjoyable sport. They next took up the game of Soccer, which appealed to all the girls even though they found it a rather rough game, and a few of them received minor in- juries, such as skinned knees, arms. A few girls even got sprained toes. However, Miss Bourne made use of her first aid knowledge, and has come. to be known as Doc Bourne of C. T. H. S. Then came the fun of learning to play basketball. The girls spent several weeks of practice on shooting, passing, and dribbling the ball, and were then ready for the real game. The girls spent several weeks of practice on shooting, passing, and dribbling the ball, and were then ready for the real game. The girls took so much interest in basketball that preliminary games were held in the gym on Friday afternoons, which proved to be both interesting and exciting. The tournament consisting of six teams was the climax of the basketball season, and the girls set- tled down to a few weeks of gymnastics, corrective exercises, and games. During the spring weeks the time was happily spent in practicing and pre- paring for the annual May Pete, which proved to be a booming success. After this the girls finished the school ,year playing baseball. What an enjoyable year! Not only did the girls enjoy themselves during the hours spent in gym, but it has proved of utmost value to them. It took their minds from the worry and strain of their studies, and placed them in a new world of laughter and fun where all dignity was laid aside. It taught them a valuable way to spend their leisure time. Page Eighty-six Left to Rightelluith Holden, Helen Davis, Lydia Hartman, Mildred Procise, Valeta Oestreich, Euta Hill, Mary McNeilly. Girl's Basketball Team The girl's basketball tournament held in Centralia Township High School was won by the team called the Pink Elephants. The captain of the team was Helen Davis. The names and positions of the champion players were as follows: Euta Hill, Helen Davis, forwards, Mary McNeilly, Mildred Procise, Valetta Oes- treich, centersg and Nina Louise Kaelin, Bette Newlon, Lydia Hartman, and Ruth Holden, guards. The girl's basketball tournament began in the high school gym on February 23, with six teams competing for the title of champions. The names of the teams were the NRA, Poiple Alligators, Pink Elephants, Pink Mice, Speeds, and Tigers. The first game was played between the NRA and the Pink Elephants. This game was very exciting because the teams were so well matched. The game ended in a tie with a score of IZ and 12. The tie was played off in another game with a score of 8 to 7 in favor of the Pink Elephants. In the second game the Poiple Alligators won from the Pink Mice with a score of 18 to 17. On the second day of the tournament the Pink Elephants beat the Tigers and the Poiple Alligators were defeated by the Speeds. On the last day of the girl's basketball tournament a consolation game was played between the Tigers and the Purple Alligators. At the half the Poiple Alli- gators were leading, but the Tigers staged a real comeback and won the game with the score of 20 to 16. The most exciting game was the final game of the tournament played be- tween two strong teams. The Speeds and the Pink Elaphants played a fast game, but in the end the Pink Elephants won by a lead of two points. This girl's basketball tournament was a wonderful example of athletic abil- ity and real sportsmanship.

May Queen and Attendants The annual May Fete is always one of the most festive occasions of the school year. The May Fete of 1934 took place early in the month of May in our high school auditorium, and it was exceptionally beautiful. The program consisted of the processional, the crowning of the Queen of 1934, the homage to the queen, the Maypole dance, and the recessional. The title of the May Fete was The Season's Reminiscences. Summer, fall, winter, and spring were each represented by dances pertaining to the memor- able occasions of each season in the year. About three hundred girls participated in this year's May Fete. The May Fete was under the direction of Miss Margaret Bourne. Mr. C. S. Beebee directed the music for the affair, Miss Helm and Miss Bledsoe planned the costumesg and Mr. Lutz was in charge of the stage properties. The queen, Barbara Diehl was attired in the traditional Coronation robe of white satin, and the attendants wore organdy dresses of pastel shades. The at- tendants were: senior, Sue Haussler and Helen Rose Craigg junior, Grace Ward and Ruth Brinkg sophomore, Esther Newberry and Tressa Maloneyg and freshman, Gertrude Tillman and Ernestine Allison.

Hiram falls desperately in love with Elinor Beauchamp, a beautiful Eng- lish girl who immediately finds herself in love with him. As the plot develops we W ,,,,,.,,w,.,, find that Junior,s family despise the English and Eli- nor,s family abhors all Americans. Whereupon, serious complications begin to develop. The problem of getting each family to approve of the other, and so insure Jun- ior's and Elinor's happiness proved a difficult one. The audience found the two young people's plan of accom- plishing this extremely clever, and interest remained high through the entire play. This play, true to prom- ise, proved to be the best play ever attempted by a senior class of the Centralia Township High School. The play was under the capable and excellent direction of Miss Spurlin and Miss Harris. Each part was extremely difficult, more so than in former years, but the class proved themselves entirely able to cope Mies Spurun with the situation, due to the large amount of talent.

S. is the Everygirl,s Ban- quet, which is held annually to create good fellowship among girls of our school. The decoration theme of the banquet this year was a circus. Upon entering the gymnasium the girls were greeted by two clowns. On the walls of the gym hung large pictures of circus animals. Balloons of all colors were suspended from the ceiling, and each table was decorated with a complete minature circus. The circus motif was very well carried out. Mrs. Loyd Thompson was the speaker of the evening and gave a most im- prcssive speech on the subject, The American Girl of Today. Another part of the program for the Everygirl's Banquet was directed by the students of the high school. The freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior class each put on a very clever and amusing stunt. Florence Erbes gave a beauti- ful vocal solo and Nlary Louise Koehler read an entertaining reading. The girl,s trio composed of Erma Warren, Lillian Poll, and Ruth Porter, sang several solos, accompanied by the popular orchestra. Each member of the popular orchestra was dressed as a clown, and all during the banquet they played many beautiful selections. The hostess and chairman of this year's Every- girlas Banquet was Mary Elizabeth Bell, who, with the help of Miss Hartly, Miss Clay, and Miss Titsworth, made such a success of the banquet. The senior assist- ant-chairman was Estella Ford and the junior assistant- chairman was Mary Ann Clarida. Other chairmen of the committees were Mary Morris, chairman of Foods Committeeg Virginia Gambill, chairman of Silverware Committee, Mary Louise Koehler, chairman of the Decoration Committeeg and Barbara Diehl, chairman of the Serving Committee.

The members of this orchestra were selected by Mr. Beebee after try-outs were held. Those students who succeeded in being chosen for the Popular Orchestra this year were: Eleanor McCarrey, Dorothy Sisson, and Verne Meredith, violins, Bernard Vance, Arnold Lenzini, and Jack Berger, saxaphonesg Walter Morgan, trombone, Albert Braden and Jack Seilcman, trumpets, Frederick Steinwax, bass, James Kell, drums, and Geraldine Osterholtz, piano. The Popular Orchestra gave an entertaining assembly program, which proved to be such a success that it was repeated in its entirety before the Rotary Club and before the Lions Club. The Popular Orchestra also played on the occasion of the Everygirl's Ban- quet. They played during the intermissions of the Senior Class Play, and also at the Country Club for the President's Ball. The Popular Orchestra and the String Ensemble together furnished the music for the May Fete. Seaton Pearson was the director of the Popular Orchestra this season. The Girlls Trio, composed of Lillian Poll, Ruth Porter, and Erma Warren, appeared with the orchestra. Mary Louise Koehler also appeared on the Popular Orchestra programs as reader. This musical group was sponsored by Mr. C. S. Beebee. Page Ninety-four Front Row. left to right-Theresa Boyd. Florence McCarry, Jack Elliott, Mary E.

String Ensemble The String Ensemble is a new musical organization which replaces the con- cert orchestra of former years. This musical group is composed of fifteen stud- ents who play stringed instruments. The instruments represented in this ensemble are the violin, the cello, the viola, the bass violin, and the piano. These students meet every day the second period in the auditorium and are under the direction of the music instructor, Mr. C. S. Beebee. During the past school year these musicians have been studying selections from the Juilliard Series selected by Albert Stoessel and edited by the faculty of the Juilliard Graduate School. These selections include beautiful musical compo- sitions by Bach and Mozart. The members of the String Ensemble have taken a detailed study of music theory and they have also had a course in ear-training. The String Ensemble has entertained the student body on several occasions in assembly periods. This organization also combined with the Popular Orchestra and played the musical selections for the May Fete. The two officers of the String Ensemble were: Verne Meridith, librariang and Theresa Boyd, SeCtetary-treasurer. Page Ninety-five QQ Tm R-'cle Row. left to right-M. Randal. D. Aussieker, M. Kreis, W.

Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus is a group of boys and girls who have chosen singing as their form of musical accomplishment. Under the capable direction of Mr. Beebee, this young group of vocalists have shown much progress during this past year. One of the most interesting features of the Mixed Chorus is the program which is given each Friday afternoon. On these programs individual members per- form for the Mixed Chorus. After a student has performed he is given helpful criticism, and thus these programs are not only entertaining, but they are also very beneficial to the students. Out of this musical organization many interesting groups have been formed, such as trios, quartets, and sextettes. They have all appeared before student audi- ences and have also appeared at various public functions. There are many out- standing soloists in the chorus. Many of these soloists participated in the vocal Contest held in Centralia, Illinois, and then the winners sang in the Southern Illi- nois District Contest. From this contest the students who won were sent to the Illinois State Contest. The officers of the Mixed Chorus for the first semester were Florence Erbes, secretary, Barbara Diehl, treasurer, Charles Wilson, boy's secretary, Mary Louise Koehler,irl,s secretary. The officers for the second semester were Doro- thy Heyduck, secretaryg Erma Warren, treasurerg Helen Rose Craig, librariang and Lawrence O'Neal, librarian. Page Ninety-six .

Seventh Hour Chorus The Seventh Hour Chorus is composed entirely of girls who have never taken chorus work before. During this past year the membership of this chorus showed a great deal of enlargement over the enrollment of previous years. The students in this organization have done very well in their work, and next year they will make excellent members of the Mixed Chorus. Throughout the whole year, a great deal of attention was placed on the rud- iments of voice training, thereby qualifying the members of the chorus for admitt- ance to the Mixed Chorus the following year. These students also had a course in ear-training and they studied music theory. One of the very interesting features of the club's activities was the programs, which were presented every Friday afternoon. These programs were sponsored by the members of the chorus, and each member was required to participate in some way or another. The entertainment was varied. There were vocal selections of almost every description, as well as piano solos, instrumental selections, readings, dances, and many other forms of entertainment. After each selection the student received helpful criticism from the chorus members. These programs enabled those students taking part, to overcome stage-fright, and the programs also aided them in becoming better performers. The officers, which were elected by the chorus members, were: Elsie Mc- Cartan, secretary, Dorothy I-lussmann, treasurer, Velda Sapp and Myrna Lent, librarians. The Seventh Hour Chorus is under the direction of Mr. Beebee. Page Ninety-seven - kt A -:eg mg 2 Back Row. left to right-D. Corbin. L. Heyduek. D Heyduek. G. Chlrnbers, E. Warren, F. Sieinwax, J.

Band 'This year as usual the Centralia Township High School band has been an important tactor of our school prestige and fame. This band of C. T. H. S. is under the able direction of the music instructor, Mr. C. S. Beebee, and has as its drum major, Jimmie Kell. The band played for all the home football games, and also made a trip to Salem and Mt. Vernon to perform at the football games in these towns. The band not only played spirited tunes to suit the occasion, but they made excellent forma- tions whieh pleased the football spectators. The band has appeared before the public eye a great deal during this school year, as they marched in the Fireman's parade, the Armistice Day parade, the Halloween parade, and escorted Santa Claus to town at Christmas time. The band members have not only learned to play many selections, but they also have studied music theory in this yearis work. The band played at all the home basketball games and the sparkling music of the band put vim and vigor into the crowd. The band has had a very success- ful year and it is an organization of which Centralians are justly proud. The members of the band elected the following officers for the first semes- ter: Dorothy June Jensen, secretary, Erma Warren, treasurer, Charles Wilson, Mabin Besant, Frederick Steinwax and Jimmie Kell, business managers. At the second semester of school the members of the band again elected offi- cers and the following people were chosen: Eleanor Jane Hall, secretary, Erma Warren, treasurer, Albert Braden, librarian, Mabin Besant, stage manager, Chas. Wfilson and Frederick Steinwax, assistant stage managers. Page Ninety-eight fees are Rack Row, left to right-E. Stalcup, J. Nolting, V, Struck, D. Webb, E. Emery, S. Pearson, R. St1ns0n,H.

Eggers Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club, a club for boys, was organized in the year 1921 with its platform based on the four C,sg clean living, clean scholarship, clean athletics, and clcan speech. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian living. The club met every Thursday night at the Methodist Church. Many inter- esting talks were given from time to time by members of the club, high school teachers, and business men of Centralia. These proved to be of utmost value. At one time during the year, the boys held their weekly Hi-Y meeting in the high school gym. Several games of basketball were played. They also played other games under the direction of Mr. Fortney. Among the outstanding features of the year's work, which as usual have been extensive, are the management of the secondhand book store, the ticket campaign for funds, the participation in the Older Boys' Conference, which was held in Mt. Vernon this year, the Hi-Y party, and the organization of a Hi-Y Council, consisting of seven counties. The purpose of organizing this Hi-Y Coun- cil was to make it possible for those to attend the district meeting, who could not otherwise do so, because the other meetings of the Hi-Y clubs in the southern part of the state were to far away for the members of Centralia to conveniently attend. A freshman party was held this year to help the freshman boys get acquaint- ed with the Hi-Y boys. The officers who directed the club during this year were: Carl Reichen- bach, presidentg Ralph Stinson, vice president, Fred Steinwax, secretary and treasurer, Dwight Webb, manager of the bookstore, and Mr. Fortney, sponsor.

Iris Literary Society The Iris Literary Society is one of the oldest organizations at Centralia Township High School, but although the organization is old its members are al- ways ready to adopt new ideas. The motto of the Tris Literary Society is Veni- mus, Vidimus, Vicimusf' which means i'We came, we saw, we conquered. The colors of this club are purple and gold. This societ held its meetin s in the auditorium ever other Wednesda aft- Y g Y Y ernoon. At each meeting an author was discussed and reports were given on some book b that author. Other features of the ro rams were ta dances vocal solos, Y P g P i piano solos, readings and contests. Near the end of the school year a party was given for all the club members and everyone had a most enjoyable time. Every member had to appear on the program at least once to receive his or her activity credit and every member was required to be present at all but one meet- ing. These two facts insured good programs and regular attendance on the part of the l'I'lBI'I'1l36I'S. The members of the Iris Literary Society not only get much pleasure from their meetings, but they also learn the meaning of responsibility, and they learn how to perform with ease before an audience. Through the cooperation' of the members and the sponsors the club had a most successful year. The officers of the Tris Literary Society were as follows: Barbara Diehl, presidentg Loyd Lent, vice president, Dorothy Heyduclc, secretary-treasurer, and Maxine Hart, chairman of the program committee. The sponsors were Miss R. Clay, Mrs. Hanna, and Mr. Barr. Page One Hundred Back Row, left to right-Helen Margaret Cobb.

S. students, has held its head high and marched proudly in step ahead of most activities of the school since 1913-14. Its motto is Utile Dulci and the color is gold. The club was organized early last fall, at the beginning of the school year, and the first outstanding and interesting thing they did was to divide into groups and go on a fishing tour--fishing for new members. Both groups worked earnestly and hard for an appointed length of time, seeing which side could get the most new members into the club, after which the winning side was entertained at a party given by the losing group. All had a very enjoyable time. The Delphic Club was organized for the purpose of giving each member an opportunity to express himself before a group without fear and trembling, thus helping him to think more clearly in his everyday speech. The Delphic Club members discuss literary subjects as far as possible. This enables the stu- dent of this club to become better acquainted with out literary outhors and to learn how to appreciate good reading. Very interesting programs were given by the club this year, consisting of book reviews, given in an interesting manner, various kinds of plays, and all sorts of musical numbers. This gives the members of the club experience in the dra- matic field, and also gives him the responsibility of getting up an interesting pro- gram. The officers elected by the club this year were the following: President, Gwendolyn McGuire, secretary-treasurer, June Jones, chairman of the Program Committee, Neola Whitlock, publicity chairman, Dorothy Pumphreyg membership chairman, Janice Goodman, sponsors, Miss Constable, Mrs. Gerould, and Miss Wheatcraft.

Commercial Honor Club The Commercial Honor Club was first organized in our I-Iigh School during the year of l9,4. To be admitted to this club was an honor conferred upon commercial students who excelled in typing, shorthand, or bookkeeping. Vlfhen this club was first organized there were eighteen charter members, but as the school year came to a close a great number of students had beconi: eligible to join this club and they had done so. Thus the membership of the com- mermercial organization was constantly increasing. To be eligible to join the Commercial l-lonor Club a student must have accomplished certain requirements, which were determined by Mr. Rau, Miss Clay and Miss Marshall. The members of the club were divided into two groups called progressive mem- bers and non-progressive members. Every six weeks new requirements had to be met by each member. If he failed to meet the requirement the member was cailed a non--progressive member, but if the student made the desired requirements he was a progressive members. This system encouraged students who had already be- come eligible to join the club to keep maintaining a high record. The Commercial Honor Club met every other Thursday and had social meetings and educational meetings, which resulted in very pleasant and worth- while meetings. This honor club serves as a goal which all commercial stduents desire to reach. - The officrs of the Commercial Honor Club were: Barbara Diehl, president, Russell Evers, vice president, Selma Michael, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Huss- man, program chairman, and Bud Lent, publicity chairman. The sponsors were Mr. Rau, Miss R. Clay, and Miss V. Marshall. Page One Hundred Two Back Row, loft to right-Miss Clay. Sponsor: E. I-Eastman, M. Bauer, M. Fosterg secretary, I. Burgess, H.

The Shorthand Readinfz Club is under the sponsorship of Miss Clay, a new member of the faculty of C. T. H. H., who teaches the first and second year courses in shorthand. The club was composed of sixteen charter members during the school year. All of these members were second year shorthandl students. However, any first year student who is able to meet the requirements for the Commercial Honor Club in shorthand, is also eligible for membership in this club. The Shorthand Reading Club meets on the first and third Mondays of each month. Part of the meeting is spent in a social manner and the latter part of the period is used for a study hour. At the time of the study hour the students study and read some of the classics of literature which are written in shorthand. The purpose of the Shorthand Reading Club is to familarize the students with the shorthand form so that they might become more proficient students. This club also gives outside work that will aid a student to make the requirements for the admission to the Commercial Honor Club. Skill in the reading of shorthand notes leads to the mastery of the rules of theory and familarizes the studentf with shorthand characters. All these things help to make a person a more pro- ficient student in both the writing and reading of shorthand. At the first meeting of this organization the members of the club elected the following people to serve as officers: Leta Fern Kell, president, and Margaret Foster, secretary and treasurer.

It seems that everyone has so much fun in the language clubs, and this is especially true in the Latin department. This year all the members were given a Roman name. As the roll was called they responded to their Latin name by saying hic which means ul am herev. The club met twice a month, and after a short business session, the meetingj was given over to the program committee. Reports on Roman life and mythology were sometimes given. Latin songs were sung, short plays were given in English and in Latin, and best of all Latin games were played. Contests also were held and prizes given to the winners. The club had a very delightful party at Christmas time. A play, entitled Saturnalia which means a Roman festival, which occurred around the time of our Christmas, was given by the members of the club. They also had much fun cxchanging gifts, which were supposed to be articles of little value. At the close of the party refreshments were served. At one time during the year, the Latin I and Latin H clubs met together. A very delightful program was given by both clubs, and all had a very enjoyable time. Several interesting things were done during the year, and all members feel their time that was devoted to this organization was happily spent. The offi- cers for the year were the following: Primus Consul--Jeannette Owensby. Secondus Consul-Anna Margaret Wham. Aedile-Walter Plassman. Sponsor-Miss Phillips.

The sponsor of this interesting organization is Miss Curtis of the Latin Department. The purpose of this club is to increase the students knowledge and interest in subjects which pertain to Latin. The club holds its meeting every week and has one program and one social meeting each month. At the social meetings the club members play Latin games and sing Latin songs. When a program is presented reports are generally given, which are of interest to the Latin students. On some occasions the Latin I Club and the Latin II Club had joint meetings. These meetings were enjoyed by both clubs as it gave the members of the Latin I Club an opportunity to meet the members of the second year club. An entertaining play was given at one meeting which was entitled What's the Use?', The scene was a class room in a modern high school. The characters were five students, one who was studying mathematics, one who was reading an English book, one who was working on history, and one who was reading Latin. Each student found words of which he didn't know the meaning, but the Latin student was able to understand each word because of the Latin deriviation. Another very interesting event sponsored by the Latin I Club was the Roman Banquet which was held on April 21. At the first meeting of the club the following officers were chosen: Albert Braden, Primus Consul, Betty Adams, Secundus Consul, Jack Crouch, Scribag Lovill Gaston, chairman of the Program Committee, and William West, chairman of the Social Committee.

These two groups of students decided to have joint meetings, rather than separately, as they are both under the sponsorship of Miss Kessing. It was also decided that the club should meet every other Wednesday throughout the school year. The purpose of the Romance Language Club is to acquaint French and Spanish students with the interesting customs of the French and Spanish people. During the present year the club has been very active and the members enjoyed the entertaining programs. The two clubs put on individual programs from time to time, but on some occasions they prepared programs together. At the club meeting these language students did many varied and interesting things. At some meetings they played games, or the students gave reports of interest on either the French or Spanish people. The reports concerned the habits, dress, and history of these two foreign races. At other meetings the members sang songs in French or Span- ish and worked out the meaning of adverisements and proverbs in the French or Spanish language. Early in the school year at the time of organization, the French Club mem- bers voted to have Emilyn Snow, presidentg Leta Fern Kell, vice president, and Dorothy Trout, secretary. The Spanish Club members chose the following people for clubs officers: Roy Frazier, presidentg Theresa Boyd, vice president, and Grace Price, secretary.

German Club The German Club was a very active organization during the present year. It was composed of students who were taking the first and second year of German in their high school course. The German Club held their meetings in Miss Luther's room. The club members met every other Wednesday of each month. The purpose of the German Club is to study the personal traits of the German people, to discover the part Germany plays in the world of art, literature, music, and science, and to promote greater interest in the German language. The German Club meetings included discussions of current events, the playing of German games, and the singing of German songs. On some occasions interesting reports were given on subjects which concerned Germany, it language, customs, and the life of its inhabitants. Other reports were given on the lives of outstanding German men. Near the Christmas holidays these German stu- dents learned Christmas carols in German. All the programs were arranged by a committee of two club members. The students who belonged to the German Club during the past year found each meeting to be a source of knowledge and pleasure. When the Germon Club was first organized in November the following people were chosen as its officers: Frederick Steinwax, president, Roberta Fischer, vice president, Marjorie Spieth, secretary and treasurer. The sponsor of this organization was Miss Luther, who is the German Language teacher. Page One Hundred Seven - fn' t -' 1 . . , Brel Row. left tu right-Miss Stcdelin, E, Snow. M. L. Koehler, L.

Dramatic-Debate Club Different! Interesting! Those two adjectives describe the Dramatic-Debate Club which made its appearance at the beginning of last semester. This is the first organization in the history of our school which has catered to the interests of those students who are interested in dramatics, although the school has had, for some time previous, a debate council. The clubls objects were many: To develop clear thinking on questions of current interestg to teach the members of the club about the many different phases of the stage and of play-acting, to lead them to enter into characters which they portry in plays and to express these characters as they ought to be expressed. In the club meetings, which were held every Thursday evening after school, many different kinds of speeches were studied. Debates were given on various sub- jects of current interest. Extemporaneous and impromptu speeches were delivered also by the members of the club. A dmonstration of the correct way to apply? makeup for various character roles was given. This demonstration was very much enjoyed by all. The members gave impersonations of different prominent people, which proved very amusing. On March 7, the club present a one act play entitled The Trysting Placef, by Booth Tarlcington, inviting all the mebers of the other school clubs to attend. Although numerous club debates were held, the school did not participate in inter-scholastic debates. The Dramatic-Debate Club consisted of about twenty five members. The officers were: Mary Lou Koehler, president, Anna Margaret Wham, vice president, Wilma Jean Kaiser, secretary-treasurer, The club was under the sponsorship of Miss Seiler, Miss Stedelin, and Mr. ldarold Brown.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club, which was started four years ago, has a membership composed of girls who are interested in the home and in the domestic arts. At the beginning of the second half of the school year, the club was divided into four groups, and each of these groups tried to surpass the others in putting on programs which were instructive, interesting, and entertaining. At the end of the year, the two winning sides were entertained at a party which was planned and financed by the losing sides. The meetings of the club were held every other Wednesday after school. Talks were given by the mmbrs of th club about subjcts pertaining to foods, clothing, and the home. Helpful and interesting demonstrations were given on correct conduct, correct table service, and similar subjects. The club had games, contests, and plays which were all very amusing. If possible, parties were given on or near various holidays, using these holidays as their themes. This gave the girls an excellent practice in planning and preparing for parties, as well as in acting as hostesses and guests. At Christmas time the girls carried on a very interesting project. They collected toys and dolls, which they redecorated and redressed. Then they gave these tovs to the poor children as Christmas gifts. The president of the Home Economic Club was May Morris, the vice- president was Grace Ward, the secretary was Thelma Petrea, the treasurer was Lorene Cherry, and the reporter was Helen Kell. The teachers who sponsored the club were Miss Helm and Miss Titsworth. Page One Hundred Nine Top Row, left to right-Mr. Spencer, sponsor: C. Backsmeyer. F. Cortclloni, F. Hall, C. Evans. C.

Some of them are licensed amateur radio op- erators and have their own stations, while many of the others hope to have their own stations some time. The Raidio Club meets every Wednesday after school. These meetings are devoted to the study of the various parts of the radio. In previousm, it was the custom of the club to invite radio men from town to come out and' talk to the members of the club. However, at the beginning of last semester the plan of these meetings was changed by having Mr. Spencer deliver a series of lectures on the parts of the radio. Whenever it is possible, different circuits are explained and demonstrated to the boys with the aid of an actual radio set which has been built up from a diagram. At other times open forums are held on dif- ferent matters of theory. The members are urged to bring up for discussion any point in which they are interested or which is not perfectly clear to them. Occa- sionally one of the boys will build a set and explain its construction at a meeting of the club. The object of the club is to give those who could not talce the course in radio an introduction to the fundamentals of radio, and to give those who could take the course more information on the subject. This will undoubtedly prove' very useful to them, for the radio is constantly becoming more important in the modern world. The president of the Radio Club is Leon Hall, the vice president, Edwin Vaughn, SCCCrCtary-treasurer, Victor Jones, sponsors, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Atkins.

Living to serve. That is the motto of the Future Farmers Club, a club for those boys in our high school who are interested in it and its related subjects. It is a nation-wide agricultural vocational club. '1 he present Future Farmers of America is a national organization which takes the place of the old type of agricultural clubs which were carried of-byi the individual schools. All the separate clubs have been brought under the su- pervision of one man, Mr. C. H. Lane, a member of the Federal Board of Vo- cational Education, at Washington, D. C. The Illinois division of the organiza- tion is longer than that of any other state. The Centralia Club is very proud of the fact that it has one of the charter members of the national orlganization. A small amount of dues are collected from the boys each year, a percentage of which goes to help defray the national and state expenses. This club meets after school the second Monday of each month. On their programs they have educational talks about travel, farming, and other topics in which the members of the club are interested. These speeches are made by citizens of Centralia, members of the school factulty, and by the boys themselves. Many very interesting demonstrations are also given by the club members. Musical numbers and various other forms of entertainment are furnished by local talent. The boys have weiner roasts and also a series of baseball games in which all of them are deeply interested. The officers of the club were: Dudley Klamp, president, Max Stater, vice- presidentg Howard Heyduck, secretary treasurer, and Mr. Clarida is the sponsor Page One Hundred Eleven fav Back Row, left to right4L.

It chronicles all the interesting events of the students and serves as an out- let for those students who have creative ability in the field of journalism.

Sphinx Annual Staff The purpose of the Sphinx Annual Staff is to create a book which will bring into review all the phases of school life at Centralia Township High School. Immediately after the faculty members selected the staff for the 1934 Sphinx Annual these students made plans for the subscription campaign, which was held in an assembly period. An improvement in this yearls annual was the fact that the price of the Sphinx yearbook was reduced, and the number of pages was increased. This en- abled a larger number of the students to own this volume of school scenes. About four hundred copies of the book were sold at the end of the campaign. For the first time in the history of the school color was used on the division pages of the Sphinx Annual. This color added to the attractiveness of the book. Before work was begun on the Sphinx Annual Barbara Diehl, Dorothy Hey- duck, and Charles Wilson, attended the lllinois State High School Press Conference at Urbana, lllinois, and they learned a great deal which later helped them in their work on the annual. The members of the staff of the Sphinx Annual were: Barbara Diehl, editor-in-chiefg Charles Wilson, business managerg Dorothy l-leyduck, senior assistant editorg Jesse Stonecipher, assistant business manager, Virginia Gambill, junior assistant editor, Marjorie Spieth, organization editor, Loyd Lent, sports editorg Carl Reichenbach, assistant sports editor, Erma War- ren, art editorg Mildred Bronson, assistant art editor, Sue l-laussler, snapshot editorg l-lclen Pawlisa, typistg and Mr. lVl.
