Board of Education Wfherever you find a good school, you will discover in the background an enterpris- ing, cooperative Board of Education. The reputation of the Centralia Township High School reflects credit and honor upon the men of Centralia who give unstintingly of their time and energy, without remuneration, and many times with too little apprecia- tion, to the maintenance of the best possible educational advantages in the secondary field. The present Board has carried on during the past depression years in such manner as to keep the school system on a cash basis. This was not done at the expense of high standards for teachers, or by retrenchment in the curriculum. During this time, the buildings were kept in repair, useful additions made, and the bonded indebtedness greatly reduced. The enrollment grew by more than three hundred during these years and the faculty was increased by seven teachers. A full-time physical education program for girls was added, and this year the departments of dean of boys and of girls were provided. The Board has stood for economy that will not hurt progress. To provide for the expanding physical education and athletic program of the high school, the Board has applied for P. W. A. grant for the construction of a new gymnasium. The grant has been approved, and if more funds are made available for P. W. A. work, the project will go forward. Only recently the Board has refunded the outstanding bonds against the district at a much lower rate of interest, at a saving of more than ten thousand dollars. The Board stands for highly trained teachers, adequately paid, good buildings, Well-equipped, and high standards of scholarship and citizenship as educational products. As a result of the Board policy of employing highly trained teachers and supporting an efhcient faculty in its insistence upon a high standard of work by pupils, the accrediting agencies of the State University and the North Central Association have commended the high standards of scholarship of Centralia Township High School. Elewiz Grace McCreedy Harold Brown Helen Constable Celia Berry Josephine Harris Grace Seiler Irene Langham English The purpose of all English teaching in the high school is two-fold: To habituate students to oral and written accuracy and to lead them to know and to enjoy good literature. In order to achieve this purpose, the work in English must include much exacting practice in straight thinking and in clear, accurate writing and speaking. It must make provision for the reading of books by the better authors, both standard and contem- porary. In addition to the regular classroom reading, each student in the first three years of English is required to read at least six books during the year. In the fourth year the number is ten. Students must report upon the books read. Extensive book lists are provided from which they may choose. Three years of English are required for graduation from the Centralia Township High School. The first two years are devoted to drill of certain literary types. In the written and oral work required of students during these two years emphasis is placed on sentence structure. Some attention is given to correct forms in personal and busi- ness correspondence. The third year continues the study of the fundamentals of grammar, spelling, and pu-nctuation. It surveys, also, the development of the English language and literature from their beginnings to the present day. The fourth year of English, which is elective in our high school, includes the study of American literature, the review of the fun- damentals of oral and written expression, and the writing of four formal papers of considerable length. Each year the students of the various English classes unite in working on one or more projects, i-ncluding book week, oratorical, essay, and other literary contests. Honors in English are awarded at Commencement to those seniors who during their four years of study have shown superior ability in appreciation of literature, in expres- sion of ideas, and in creative writing. Twel ve Commercial onol Qfiioo Students desiring a commercial education will find that C. T. H. S. offers some very practical courses in typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and commercial law. These subjects are planned so as to give a knowledge of the work-a-day world with its problems and idealsg the conduct of its affairs, the records it keeps, and the machinery and methods of modern business practice. The first course in stcnography prepares the student to take complete notes in his classes and office dictation at a speed of from sixty to eighty words a minute. The second course enables him to increase his speed to more than a hundred words per mi-nute. In the first year of typing emphasis is placed on personal typing problems. If the speed of, say, thirty-live words per minute is not enough for his needs, the student may enroll for a second course in which he should attain a speed of better than sixty words per minute. At the same time he will get practice in handling all sorts of otlice typing, mimeographing, and in using the dictaphone. The course in bookkeeping deals primarily with the fundamental principles of accounting as applied to sole-proprietorship, partnership, and corporation businesses. The work includes an analysis of business transactions, journalizing, posti-ng to ledgers, preparing trial balances, working sheets, a study of accounting statements as to form and construction, adjusting and closing entries, depreciation and its problems, bud debts, and development of control accounts. The commercial law course is intended to introduce the student to some of the more fundamental phases of business law. Cases are studied to aid one in developing skill in deciding simple questions of law. Wfhen the enrollment of a school passes the eleven hundred mark, the amount of oflice work to be done to keep things running smoothly is enormous. Besides having to take care of all the school's oflicial correspondence, the oliice must keep a detailed record of the attendance of, and work done by pupils in the school. Ruth Clay Oscar M. Corbell Paul Rau Madge Hardy liva Wlilters Virginia Marshall 7-Z7il'fl'l'Vl Mathematics and Music Since it is unreasonable to suppose that everyone who goes to high school will need exactly the same kind of training, mathematics is no longer required for graduation from C. T. H. S. In spite of this fact, the enrollment in the department is quite large Courses are offered in commercial arithmetic, general mathematics, algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Commercial arithmetic is a half year course recommended to persons interested in business training or in improving their mastery of elementary arithmetic. General mathematics is intended to meet the needs of those who want to obtain good review of arithmetic and a knowledge of the more useful parts of algebra and geometry Within the space of a single year. For those students desiring to prepare for college, a full year's course in algebra and one in plane geometry are provided. In algebra, one studies simple equations and formulas of the sort usually met in the problems arising in science and industry. In geometry, attention is given to the more important properties of polygons and circles. Methods of presenting logical arguments are emphasized. In the semester course in advanced algebra, one continues the study of formulas, equations, and graphs. Applications of the subject to engineering, science, and insurance are stressed. A semester course in solid geometry introduces the student to the properties of pyramids, cones, cylinders, prisms, and spheres. Problems of indirect measurement engross the attention of students enrolling for the semester course in trigonometry. Much time is given to the study of the many applica- tions of the subject to the 'problems of physics, astronomy, ballistics, engineering and surveying. Musically inclined students find that C. T. H. S. has a very extensive program of work i-n chorus and band. Thorough instruction is given in music fundamentals as applied to solo work and group arrangements. Although four credits in music are counted toward graduation from the high school, only two are accepted for college entrance. Robert Barr Raymond Huck Jean Gerould C. Scripps Beebec Georgia Hanna Fourteen Harry Fortney I.. D. Atkins Carl W'illiams Marjorie Titsworth Hazel Bledsoe Verna Helm Practical Arts Courses in foods, clothing and home-making are offered to girls who wish to prepare themselves for worthy home membership-an important aim in secondary education. In Foods I, meals are studied, planned and prepared. The value of certain foodstuffs, vitamins, and calories to the human body is learned, and the girls are taught proper methods of serving, correct setting of the table, and good manners. You have often heard A stitch i-n time saves nine.', It also saves money. During the year the girls in the clothing classes make slips, pajamas, blouses. a suit or wool dress, and a silk dress or a formal. Home Economics III is a very vital subject to all girls who wish to learn the funda- mentals which make up a successful life. Home-making is far from being simply sewing and cooking. The work ranges from the development of specific techniques to the application of art, science, and economics in the solution of home problems. The boys' needs in the useful arts are supplied by the courses in auto mechanics, machi-ne shop, woodworking, mechanical, machine and architectural drawing. and agriculture. ln the auto mechanics classes, the student learns the purpose of the various parts in an automobile and is given instruction on their repair and upkeep. Safety in driving is stressed throughout the course. A course in machine shop teaches the student how to operate the fundamental machines of the modern shop and make simple devices. Thorough instruction in preparatory cabinet-making and carpentry is given in the woodworking classes. Here the student learns how to use the more modern wood- working machines. Prospective draftsmen find that C. T. H. S. is well equipped to offer excellent courses in drawing. Fundamentals are taught in mechanical drawing. More advanced work is taken in machine drawing, while house and building plans are given predomi- nance in architectural drawing. Three years in agriculture are available to boys who are interested in learning scientific farming. Practical information is given on all the principal farming prob- lems. Fiflecu Marie Stedelin Helen Merz Beula Hartley Roy Montgomery Charlotte Spurlin The Socicil Sciences The central aim in all of our courses in history, economics, and civics is to enable the student to develop proper attitudes towards, and an appreciation of, those institu- tions that have been developed and are yet in the process of change, in order that he may evolve into an intelligent and active citizen of his own country, and into an under- standing, tolerant citizen in his attitude toward his neighbors. Materials of the courses are selected with the above aim in mind. Emphasis is placed upon those factors that have most strongly influenced the creation and development of the institutions mankind has produced, as he has progressed from a condition of savagery to his present highly organized, and complex civilization. It is believed that such knowledge cannot but result in the development of a keener sense of individual responsibilities as a citizen of the state and of the world at large. History, with its vivid stories of exploits and customs, holds sway over many pupils who have come to regard it as one of the most interesting and beneficial subjects they have ever taken. Strange lands of kings and chivalry, lives of the common and royal people, their manners, unique speech and forms of entertainment, public baths and market places, and royal purple robes make up the adventures of our ancient historian in such fascinating array that we feel as if we lived among them and did the things they did. Then we find the civilization of modern and medieval history which brings forth the characters of great men who made cities overnight, captured unlimited provinces and discovered new worlds to conquer. In American history we become personally acquainted with the staunch founders of our own U. S. A. In a world where material ideas and things very largely engage our attention the study of history in only its romantic and colorful aspects would probably be justified. A knowledge of the history of the more important social groups now existing in the world will furnish an excellent background for any of the other school subjects. Sixleen Physical Education and Qthletios The physical education program for girls is divided into seasonal activities. During the iirst year much time is spent in learning the techniques and skills fundamental to the various activities. Rhythms, folk dancing, and clogging assist the girls in over- coming adolescent awkwardness and in acquiring poise and gracefulness. In the fall all classes are held out of doors with soccer the order of the day. There are work-outs on exercises and lead-up games until the girls develop sufficient skill to play the game. Following the soccer season, classes are held inside the gymnasium at which time attention is turned to volley ball and tap dancing. The semester is brought to a close with stunts, tumbling, Danish gymnastics and basketball. Looking ahead to the May Fete, the second semester's work begins with a course in rhythms and folk dances. After the May Fete, the girls again are out of doors with tennis and baseball which brings the year's work and play to a close. There is also a very extensive program of physical education for boys. Calisthenics, tumbling, basketball, football, track and other sports are included in the program. The exercises are of such nature as to promote the proper development of man' muscles which would normally not be used often enough. Basketball is taught and played in these classes. Some of the boys develop considerable skill in dribbling, passing, and shooting. Both Mr. Trout and Mr. Lutz coach interested boys in, football. In this way a large number can enjoy the sport. Mr. Lutzls squad usually plays in one or more interschool contests. During the winter those boys who are not yet good enough to have a chance to make the school team can play in inter-class competition under Mr. Lutz's supervision. In the spring, boys who care for the sport are coached in track by Mr. Clarida. Meets are scheduled in other schools and boys who are good enough are entered in the state meets at Urbana. A. L. Trout T. NV. Cilarida Jane XY'helan Harry Lutz I Si'zr11li'i'u Languages and Library Every student who hopes to go to college some day should study a foreign language for at least two years. Latin is sometimes required of students planning to enter certain professions. A reading knowledge of German and French is usually required of persons interested in earning advanced degrees. Spanish is highly favored because of its probable commercial importance. While some schools are becoming more lenie-nt with respect to their former require- ment of two years of entrance Latin, the subject is still recognized as being of utmost importance to persons interested in developing a good vocabulary and a proper apprecia- tion for great accomplishments of an earlier age in human history. The German language is forceful and direct. In the course of his studies the student acquires an added ability to express his thoughts concisely and to think clearly. He, likewise, learns to appreciate the extent of the German influence in the advancement of the Western civilization. French is well worth a student's time whether the need for a reading knowledge of the language exists or not. Its beauty of form and vitality recommend it to students who wish to improve their command of vocabulary, ease of expression and wealth of cultural background. The French stories, songs, and plays studied in class make a decided contribution to a well-rounded education. Spanish has practically the same advantages. The importance of a well-planned library to the modern high school can hardly be overestimated. To make certain that our own is of the greatest good to the greatest number we have a full-time librarian who carefully selects the books to be purchased and who shows the students how to use reference books, the card index, and the reader,s guide. Students needing to use the reference materials regularly may be assigned to the libraryg others may get permits from the teacher assigning the extra reading. Mae Kessing Vera Goessling Cleo Curtis julia Phillips Caroline Luther Eiglaifen Paul I.. Spencer Charles A. Herfurth Dorothy Jennings Opal C. Hartlinc Frances Cottrell The Natural Sciences General science is designed as an orientation course. It is not preparatory to the other sciences, but a unit Within itself. The emphasis is placed upon the correct interpreta- tion of the physical and biological environment of the student. There is a concerted effort made to develop a scientific attitude toward the great variety of phenomena and experiences met by the student in his civic, school, and home life. W'hen B. S. Haldane said, Without a knowledge of science, one cannot understand current events, he expressed the keynote in the teaching of so diversified a subject as general science. In Zoology and botany, the pupil is given an active experience with living organisms in order to acquaint him with the structure and life habits of representative forms of the different plant and animal groups. As a part of the botany course one studies the relation of bacteria to every-day life. Chemistry in high school enables the student to begin early to learn the fundamentals that are necessary for the successful pursuit of the following professions or vocations: medicine, pharmacy, ceramics, dentistry, nursing, and dietetics. For the student who does not expect to enter any of the above helds, the subject has great cultural values, acquainting him with some of the most marvelous advances already made in science. The course in physics aims to explain the ordinary things of the world about us. Students learn: why water rises in pumps, how thermometers work, the physical basis of music, why objects are red or blue, the relation between electricity and magnetism, and scores of other fascinating things. The course is necessary for prospective engineers and invaluable to all others. The radio course is intended to introduce the student to the fundamental theory of radio design. Practice is given in the actual construction of sets. It is not at all uncommon for good students to build five or six tube superheterodynes as a part of their laboratory work. Nim'lr1'n L. D.

Twenty Extra Curricular Persons in a osition to know enerall admit that no bo or irl should attem t to U P g U Y l . Y sn P go through high school or college without taking an active part in the work of some extra-curricular activity. Early in the year students at C. T. H. S. are invited to consider what kind of club they would like to join. If no such club has existed here before, arrangements can usually be made for some member of the faculty to undertake to sponsor the activity. New clubs are continually being introduced as the desire for them is made known. One, the Music Club was organized during the second semester of this year. At least :four are now only two years old. Certain other clubs have had a much longer historyg for example, the German Club is nearly twenty years old. A schedule showing the times of meeting is made out at the beginning of the year. Care is exercised to avoid conflicts in the dates assigned to different clubs which are likely to be of interest to the same person. Thus it is usually possible for a student to be a member of more than one club if he wishes. A great many of our students take adva-ntage of this fact. Some of the clubs are quite small having fewer than a dozen members. Others have an enrollment of a hundred to a hundred fifty. There seems to be no definite relation of any sort between the size of the club and its possibilities for service. Ordinarily the smaller organization will allow the members to enjoy a more personal contact with the sponsor and with the other members. In the smaller club each individual will also be able to have a part in the programs. In the larger group, participation in a program will do much to help one overcome any timidity he might feel about appearing in public. Clubs directly related to the courses taught in the school make a definite contribution to the student's understanding of the course. This statement is especially true of the language clubs, for in them the student is introduced to countless interesting things which increase his appreciation of the language and the people who use it. Boys and girls both find that the physical education program of the school is very worth-while. Ordinarily, fifty or more boys come out for football and spend many hours in hard practice in order to qualify for the school team. In the basketball season a great many boys try for positions on the squad. When track season rolls around, a goodly number of track and field enthusiasts are out and eager to go. The girls play soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis during the year. In the spring a great number of girls participate in the annual May Festival. These activities help to keep those taking part in them in excellent physical condition so that they can do good school work. Students feeling the urge to write can usually find a position on either the newspaper or the yearbook staff. Individual instruction in journalism is generally given to persons showing the ability to absorb it and the inclination to work. Publications are very exacting in their requirements. Students greatly interested in other activities ordinarily do not have time to do such work. Twenty-one Bark 1'0tL'fGaston, McFarland. Hlasclel. Cooper, Silwel. Deiarborn.Y Konhorst, Yeith.

Future Farmers With an enrollment of over one hundred fifty active members, t chartered under the nation wide organization, The Future tutes the largest club in C. T. H. S. By giving its members interesting programs con- taining music, talks, and open forums, the club has intensified interest in farm life. About the middle of June, the sponsor and officers attended the annual state conven- tion held in Champaign. At Christmas time the club asked the student body to bring . . . h anything suitable for a charity basket. The donated articles were turned over to t e fire department for distribution. In an effort to exterminate pests, a contes co g classes was won by the third hour class. Points were given in the following quotas: rats, 100, crows, 1005 owls, 1005 blue jays, S03 moles, 50, crow eggs, 50, mice, 103 blackbirds, Sg sparrows, 5. As a reward, the winner was given a Wiener roast by the losers. During the year tentative plans were made to secure fund he Future Farmers, Farmers of America, consti- t nducted amon the five agricultural s to construct a club house in the Ozarks. Mr. Clarida sponsored the club N Dunbar, vice-president, Edgar Allison, secretary-treasurer, Earl Johnson, reporter to the Illinois Future Farmer Bulletin. . The oflicers were: Dale Harker, president, Rollin Twenty-fwo The Gr. A. A. Since the G. A. A. officers were chosen last spring, it was an easy matter for the organ- ization to begin functioning immediately after school reopened this fall. ln a short talk at the Hrst meeting, Miss Whelan introduced herself by briefly outlining the intended girls' athletic program of the year. She mentioned new rules concerning the qualifications of girls taking gym and introduced a new procedure to be followed in all the sports activities. In addition to soccer, volleyball, basketball, and baseball, she said there would be tennis. On October 19, girls from Greenville, Odin, Vandalia, and Mt. Vernon came to Centralia for the first Play-day ever staged by the local G. A. A.'s. Fun and frolic was the order of the day as the circus theme unfolded. Throughout the day contests were held between the two main teams, Clowns' and Bare-back Riders. From 10:00 to 10:30, the main object was to get acquainted. Then everyone enjoyed an hour of vigorous action in contests of bat-ball, basketball, and baseball. After Centralia had carried away all the honors in the posture parade, the group adjourned to the cafeteria where they were served with a delicious luncheon. When they returned to the gymnasium, each town presented a spectacular stunt. llplllfli GROl'l Burk Vim' -Fwinf' l'L-Coit Xrniii lulm in Txlxi Fo XI K Y 1 . A A . ,,. 1 . . . gg. V si . I' ws.

T ztwlfui -flares The Forum Every student emerging into life must be able to express his own ideas and opinions in a comprehensive manner, consequently the Forum club was organized to give C. T. H. S. boys this practice in self-expression and public speaking. At the meetings the usual method of procedure was followed. The primary purpose of the club was to interest the students in argumentation, informal debating, and related subjects. The boys in the club were assigned two or three-minute talks on current events. These talks were then constructively criticized by the other members. Some of the topics used as material were: Prohibition Should QShould Notj Come Back, - Who Will Be the Next G. O. P. Candidate for President?,'- All Teachers Should QShould Notj Have to Take the Loyalty Oath --and Is the New Deal a Failure?,' Many more interesting talks were given as an observation of American Educa- tion Week, November 11 to 17. A club of this type has certain advantages over an ordinary debate or public speaking club, in that it relies less upon stereotyped or cut-and-dried material, and is more likely to develop originality and self-reliance in speaking. When the club was first organized last year under the joint sponsorship of Mr. Corbell and Mr. Trout, it was announced that it would promote the interest of the students in this high school in effective and original speaking rather than flowery oratory. Besides the informal talks, o en forums were held durin which a member mi ht . . . Pi . 3 3 bring up any subject for discussion, whether it was related to the school or not. This plan encouraged the free and informal exchange of ideas, and furnished the opportunity for students to ex ress their 0 inions on school rulin s and sub'ects, and news events. P P g l The officers of the Forum for the year were: Stanley McNail, president, Donald Muck, vice-presidentg Robert E. Wilson, secretary, Howard Wendling, parliarnentariang Chester Evans, Sergeant-at-arms. The club was sponsored by Mr. Harold Brown. Its meetings were held every two weeks. Bark Voir'-fHomer Pumphrev.

Current Events Discussing all the major events in the world of news, kept the Current Events club continually on the jump. Following informal procedure, the programs included talks by members of the faculty, open forums, round-table discussions, and intelligence tests. To start the meetings interestingly, the calling of the roll was changed by requiring each member present to give a current event as his name was read. After all business had been called to the attention of the club, the meeting was turned over to the member in charge of the program. At one meeting, Miss Hartley gave an account of the buried city at Wfycliffe, Ken- tucky. Having been there herself, she was able to present a vivid picture of the habitudes and customs of the prehistoric people who had lived there. Miss Merz was called upon to give some interesting facts about Yugoslavia, the subject she chose for her master's thesis. Miss Curtis delighted the club by compari-ng'the ancient Romans' great economic struggle two thousand years ago with our present economic dilemma. She read many bulletins posted in the Roman forum which read very much like modern news headlines. Usually somewhere on the program, Norma Chambers, posing as Lowell Thomas, gave fifteen minutes of 'news flashes before a wooden microphone which transformed the club into a radio audience. Everyone enthusiastically participated in the open forums and discussions held on some of the current world events such as the European War situation, the coming presidential elections, and Ethiopia vs. Italy. An intelligence test that was published by Time, the weekly news magazine, was divided into several parts and administered to the members at various times. The test had questions on important men and women in various fields such as aviation, explora- tion, excavation, engineering, writing, and moving pictures. The oilicers of the club were: Edra Schneider, president, Phyllis Wright, vice-presi- dent, Helen Wheeler, secretary. It was sponsored by Miss Mccfeedy. T'wenly-five Y l Back row-R.XVin'te. N. Niblo.

Auto Mechanics A few years ago the qualifications required of one desiring to enter the automotive industry were very meager. Any young man who could ply a wrench decently and use a screwdriver with comparative ease was considered a first-class mechanic. As such, he encountered little difhculty getting a job in one of the numerous one horse garages that sprang up in great numbers all over the country. Today, however, the situation has undergone a complete changeg no longer is such preparation sufficient. The successful mechanic of today must be about as well versed in the automotive field as a doctor is in medicine. V Early in September Harold Smith suggested to Mr. Atkins that he organize an auto, mechanics club which would be composed of students who were interested in the advancement of the automobile. At the first meeting, Jimmie Pick was elected presi- dentg Harold Smith, vice-presidentg and Emery Farthing, secretary. A committee com- posed of Jack Crouch and Raymond Hoyt was given the responsibility of preparing the programs for the meetings. Each program was centered around some specific subject. Either the topic was discussed before the club by some appointed member or a trip was made to some garage where an experienced mechanic gave demonstrations relative to a chosen subject. Diesel engi-nes, which are fast coming to the front were the subject of a lengthy discussion relative to their remarkable economy of operation, extreme lightness in weight per unit horsepower, and simplicity of construction. A discussion tending to show that auto racing has many hazards and drawbacks but is important in the development of pleasure cars proved to the club the necessity for its being encouraged. The increased speed and tremendous saving in gas consumption obtained by streamlining was brought to the c1ub's attention so that interest would be created in the study of designing. A study of testing apparatus took the club to I-I,oltkamp's Garage where a, spark plug analyzer showed the effect of compression and carbon on the spark plug's activity. Twenty-six Radio Some of the members of the Radio Club have had the course in radio, while others plan to become radio amateurs. However, most of the boys were just interested in seeing and having a part in some very interesting experiments. In order to make up-to-the-minute information on recent developments in radio available to the members, the club subscribed for two magazines. Regenerative receivers, metal tube sets, power supplies, public address systems, photo- cell circuits, and low power transmitters were presented for demonstrations. Discus- sions of the principles involved were undertaken by the boys who built the apparatus. I-n one experiment with the photo-cell a gas flame was used instead of the usual carbon type microphone. A demonstration of the phonograph pickup was followed by a study of the theory of electromagnets as applied to the pickup and various other radio parts. Although some were a little mike shy at first, every member enjoyed talking over a public address system that had been built up by one of the more experienced boys. For one night, at least, C. T. H. S. had a broadcasting station in the form of an experimental transmitter that was demonstrated to show something of the nature of short wave amateur work. It was a new experience for many of the boys to talk over the air, even if the distance was only from 101C to 103C. In conjunction with the study of cathode rays, various demonstrations were made with the Crooke's tube and geisler tubes showing the effect of an electron bonbardment on fluorescent materials. More fascinating than all, however, was the demonstration of the Clough-Brengle Oscillograph which is a practical application of this effect of cathode rays on fluorescent materials. The club was sponsored by Mr. Spencer and had as officers: Charles Edwards, presi- dentg Edwin Vaughn, vice-presidentg Lloyd Rigg, secretary-treasurerg Robert Nelms, librarian. ilfizi-lc rim' -Jay Grimes.

Tu'erz!j'-srwrz Dramatic One can readily understand the great size and activity of the Dramatic Club if he will only stop to consider how eager high school boys and girls are to have some part in the production of plays. ln this club the 'programs were intended to be educational as well as entertaining. Plays, talks, imitations, impromptu acting, and musical numbers all found a place on the program. In this way provision was made for many persons to appear before an audience. To satisfy the desire of many of the members to know something about the art, Miss Berry agreed to conduct a weekly class in the fundamentals of theatrical make-up. A dramatic sketch, Those Immortal Lovers, starred Dorothy Jane Wilson, Darda Pfaff, Kitty June Osborne, Keith Drury, and Joe Kimball. It made quite a hit with the members at one meeting. In a five cent assembly, two other one-act plays were given by the club. One featured Lucy Lee Mallory as Winona with Keith Drury taking the part of Maurice, a conceited boy friend who had just returned to the home town. His overbearing attitude netted him nothing but a stream of No,s!', from Winona. Following a short musical interlude, the curtains rose on the cozy scene of Ma and Pa McNabes' little country cottage. Robert E. Wilson made an excellent old man with his stooped walk and long whiskers. Cynthia QBarbara Willoughbyj just couldn't understand why Jimmy Qllrederick Meyerj wanted his stuffed animals hung all over their little home but Nancy Warren as Ma used her ingenuity to settle the dispute. With the proceeds from this program, the club charted a bus for a trip to Saint Louis where they saw Walter Hampton in his last performance of the famous French play, Cyrano de Bergerac. The club was sponsored by Miss Harris and Miss Berry. The officers elected were: Lucy Lee Mallory, president, Lovell Gaston, vice-president, Vernetta Gerrard, secre- tary, June Jones, treasurer.

Bozetti The l-li -Y ln this day and age, when communism is persistently knocking at our back door while atheism slowly mounts the steps of our back porch, there is a great need of serious-minded youth who believe firmly in the high standards of Christian living. Entering the threshold of manhood so equipped, they will be able to bring this crazed world back to its senses, stop the Hendish intrigues of the war lords, uproot atheism, and blot out communism. That such is the purpose of the Hi-Y organization is shown by its slogan to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. ln addition it promotes clean scholarship, clean sportsmanship, clean speech, and clean living. Sponsored by Mr. Fortney, the club carried on its fifteenth year of active work in C. T. H. S. with Jack Elliott, president, Robert Root, vice-president, Walter Wehmer, secretary. To foster the church-going habit among the members, the organization attended various churches of the city. This club was responsible for the creation of the second- hand book store which operates annually rendering a most valuable service to the student body. The club was host to Salem and Nashville in the annual council meeting where the officers of the surrounding clubs discuss various phases of Hi-Y work. An-nually the organization invites each boy of Southern Illinois to attend an Older Boys, Conference. Those who can arrange to go enjoy to the n'th degree the talks and discussions on current world problems. Possible solutions contributed by alert fellows often incite the whole group to make a pledge or to take immediate action. Believing that an all work and no play schedule is to be avoided, the officers arranged a series of social meetings including a date party and a pot-luck supper. Delegates are sent by the local club to Camp Seymour each summer. At these camps boys from many schools get together for a week of outdoor fun and inspirational talks by the greatest youth leaders in the country. Tufeniy-nine Back 'row-E. Criley, B. VVellpott, B.

Home Economics The Home Economics Club was organized for girls who are interested in home- making and domestic arts. All the members are enrolled in foods, clothing, or home economics HI classes. At the beginning of the year, the club, like all Gaul, was divided into three parts. In one of these were those girls taking foods, in another were all those who were taking clothing, and in the third, those taking home economics III. These groups, then, in turn, took charge of the programs which were held every other Tuesday at three-thirty in the cafeteria. During the first semester the following officers were elected: Esther Loucks, president, Claudine Webb, vice-president, and Madeline Schnake, secretary-treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester, Bernice Fricke was elected president and Bernice Wellpott, vice-president. The programs consisted of various demonstrations, reports and parties for special occasions, allowing the foods group to carry out ideas in planning and preparing refresh- ments for parties, thus receiving more experience, plays were given and clever games played. One especially interesting program was a demonstration of the proper use of make-up and the correct way of giving facials. The girls profited by this information by showing improvement in their personal appearance. The clothing group very cleverly proved that history repeats itself in styles, comparing those of yesterday and today. The club was shown the dresses worn from the time of their grandmothers up to the 'present time. Girls talked on the importance of personal cleanliness and many useful little things which should be done to make a person have real charm. Incidents were brought out in a most entertaining fashion to show proper and improper etiquette, dress, hair styles, and posture. We have often heard the old saying, Beauty is as beauty does. In all things we undertake to do, personality and character make up a major part of our success, so let us remember that politeness costs nothing and gains everything. The small cour- tesies lead to the big things in life. Tbirly y Romance Language Ideally a language club is organized to afford conscientious students ample opportu- nities to use the language that they are studying. Usually this is accomplished by making a rule stating that all the club members must speak in the foreign tongue, whether they be giving a talk before the club, or conversing among themselves. This makes it neces- sary that all the students in the organization be studying the same language. In C. T. H. S., however, because there is such a small number of French and Spanish students who are interested in a club, the usual separate organizations have been combined into one forming a Romance Language Club. For variety, programs were presented alternately by the French and Spanish com- mittees. Maybe during one meeting, some French member might take the club soaring back to the eighteenth century when Voltaire startled the French nation with his writings on individualism, then during the next meeting, the club might find itself wandering in the beautiful gardens of some famous villa of old romantic Spain as pictured by some Spanish student. Thus, in addition to learning more about his particu- lar language and its mother country, each member also heard interesting facts about the country and people of the other language. As an interesting project, the club traced the evolution of French and Spanish from classical Latin to the present accepted forms. An outstanding event in the social life of the club was a scavenger hunt starting at Betty Bracyis home with Miss Kessing and Betty Stublefield leading the two con- tending groups. The favorite social activity of the club's, however, was hiking. Frequently the group took long walks into the country. Here, after building a fire in some pleasant spot, they enjoyed roasted wieners and toasted marshmallows, while the stories and tales went 'round. Around the campfire and in the meetings, Miss Kessing usually led the group in French and Spanish songs. To be sure the Frenchmen did sing Spanish songs with a French accent and vice versa. The club, sponsored by Miss Kessing, has as officers: Betty Bracy, president, Jimmy Kell, vice president, Betty Stockman, secretary-treasurer, Merle Thorp, Sphinx reporter, and Jo Stalcup, poster artist.

Thirty-one Commercial Students enrolled in any commercial course were eligible to membership in the commercial club. Because of the fact that it is of vital importance to some persons to learn as much as possible about business practices while they are in high school, the club rendered an invaluable service. It was the aim of the club to acquaint its members with the special problems of as many different kinds of businesses as possible. It is the usual practice for this club to visit the local banks, the Sentinel printing plant, the Bell Telephone oflice and other places of interest where clerical help is used. The programs included a number of round-table discussions relative to matters of importance to persons looking for a job. These sessions were held in connection with the chapter by chapter study of a book of tips on how to get and hold a job. Questions having to do with the correct way to dress and act in the office were con- sidered among others. ' For variety some of the meetings featured short plays in which commercial problems were emphasized instead of the usual romance. At other times there was some music. On one occasion the club was shown some motion pictures in which the correct and incorrect Ways to type and Write shorthand were pointed out. Each of the sponsors gave an interesting talk to the club. At one meeting, Mr. Corbell outlined the qualities required of a girl who hopes to make good in business. Since 1934 the club has been engaged in the worth while project of keeping an up-to-date record of former commercial students showing Where they Work, what they do, and what salary they earn. The club maintains a standing committee on Commercial Honors which checks over the achievements of the commercial students every six Weeks. The officers were: Virginia McGavic, president, Norma Kline, vice-president, and Marjorie Norris, secretary-treasurer. Miss Clay, Miss Marshall, and Mr. Rau sponsored che club. Back row--Mr. Rau, D.

Photoplay Because the producers of photoplays do not always exercise the greatest care in the selection of subject matter and methods of presentation, a Photoplay Appreciation Club was organized at C. T. H. S. in 1934. The club sought to provide criteria for the evaluation of pictures. It was felt that high school students could learn to distinguish between worth-while and mediocre Elms if they were given an opportu-nity to study the characteristics of good photoplays under the direction of faculty sponsors. About twenty-five persons were sufiiciently interested in the work of the club to attend the regular weekly meetings. Photoplays were studied carefully from both the literary and technical points of view. The reasons why certain scenes were effective were considered in great detail. If a picture had weak points, these were called to the club's attention a-nd the cause for the weakness was explained or discussed. During the year, different members of the club gave reports on topics of importance in the study of motion picture techniques. Some of the best remembered of these were: Costuming,', Settings,,, and The Filming of Midsummer Night's Dream. The sources of the material used in these reports were text-books, study guides, and magazines. Early in the year the club sponsored an essay contest. The essays were to be written on any phase of the photoplay, Alice Adams. Prizes of three, two, and one week passes to the Illinois Theater were offered to the winners. Betty Anne Winegiirner, a member of the club, won the first prize and Lovell Gaston, also a member, won the third prize. The club became a member of the National Association of 4-Star Clubs and by sponsoring the movie, The Crusades, managed to earn some money which was set aside for the purchase of a projector. The club, as a group, attended approximately twenty pictures. The oflicers were: Phyllis Wright, president, Gertrude Mentemeyer, vice-presidentg Sara Lou Ford, secretary, Betty Anne Wi'negarner, treasurerg and Miss Seiler, sponsor.

Someday as you 'pass through the hall near 207B you may hear a lusty Quis vincetn as ululafzzs rf ranrfiorunz dnx, Keith Drury, leads the clubis sixty members in a yell such as the ancient Romans may have used in Cazsaris time. Twice a month these embryo Romans met for a social good time or for the transac- tion of business. When in the mood for music, they would try their voices on Latin songs and rounds. Otherwise, they might give their attention to mythology or the private life of the Romans. Special programs were arranged for Hallowe'en, Christmas, and St. Valentines. An effort was made to copy the celebrations faithfully from their Roman prototypes. On Halloweien the members paid a visit to the Sibyl from whom they received an inkling of what the future might bring. To say that the club observed the feast of the Saturnalia in as riotous and unre- strained a manner as was common in ancient Rome would only be an exaggeration. But the members did enjoy themselves. In February, the club honored the Roman priest whose memory is preserved in the beautiful custom of sending love messages to the sweetheart on February 14. The big event of the year was the joint meeting of the two Latin clubs which featured a Julius Caesar amateur broadcast. Since the members of this club believed in doing things in great style, it is not surprising to note that they chose colors-purple and gold-and had a motto-Semjuer Fidelis. Moreover, there were yells and club loyalty song set to the tune of On Centraliaf' The officers with their Latin titles are: Rosalie Blakely and Mary Elizabeth Green, Consulsg Ruth Dieckman, scriba, Virginia Carlyle and Lucita Garritson, Aedilesg Keith Drury, ululatus et canctiorum duxg George Carter, Sphinx reporter, and Miss Phillips, sponsor. Tl7i1'fj'-f01lY Leqio Decima Caesarys famous tenth legion was honored again, this time by the Latin H club when it chose to be known as the Legio Decima. The club enjoyed a very active year. An effort was made to learn more about Roman public and private life, classical mythology, and the values of Latin than could be managed in the regular classroom periods. Meetings were held on alternate Wednesdays immediately after school. The social meetings were spent i-n playing games requiring the use of Latin. The program meetings were given over to talks, plays, and music. Songs in Latin were featured on some of the programs. Certain members of the legion were ambitious enough to translate the school loyalty song into Latin. While they were under the influence of the Hallowe'en spirit, the members of the club enjoyed having a Sybil tell them their fortunes even if they did have to be translated before everybody. In November, reports were given relative to the nature of Roma-n meals and banquets. A Christmas party modeled after the Roman Saturnalia was featured in December. A play was given comparing the Roman and American festivities. Members of the club exchanged gifts and enjoyed a buffet lunch. lin February there were talks on the origin of St. Valentine's Day and on the well- lsnown love stories of mythology. Of course, everyone received a valentine bearing sweet sentiments in Latin. We didn,t learn whether a-nyone blushed as he translated his love note. A play entitled The Values of Latin in English was a feature of the March meet- ing. In April, the Romans did honor to t'All right, All right!,' Bowes, God's gift to the amateurs. The officers of the club were: David Waterbury, presidentg Wendall Lamblin, vice- presidentg Mildred Folwell, program chairmang Louise Kaiser and Elinor Ross, members of the program committeeg Walter McClelland, social chairman: Carl Sparenburg and Rolland Neudecker, members of the social committee, Betty Ann Root, Sphinx re- porterg Phyllis Gambill, secretaryg and Keith Hardy, posters.

Nor has the last li-ne of that story been written. While it may be that none of the members of the club is destined to make great contributions to the development of the subject, it is certain that most of them will continue to study it. The mathematics club has recruited its membership from among the students who have had or are taking geometry. It is the purpose of the club to supplement the work of the classroom. An effort is made to show how very fascinating the subject can be by introducing recreational mathematics and by pointing out certain extensions and applications of the topics studied in class. Lectures in special topics of general interest to the club are given by members of the faculty. it The meetings of the club, which were held every Tuesday after school were alter- nately of a social or business nature. At the first type of meeting the order of the day was to play and analyze mathematical games and puzzles. Considerable attention was given to the study of fallacious proofs such as the well-known algebraic demonstra- tion that 1 I 2. The business sessions were devoted to the solution of problems by the members of the club and to talks by the members of the faculty. At the beginning of the year Mr. Huck gave a series of talks on the three problems of antiquity. Later on he lectured on the spiral, which is an especially interesting curve. In order that the favorite topics of the various members should find a place on some program, each one was asked to list the subjects he would like to know more about. The members in charge of a particular program would then be guided in the choice of subjects by the desires of his fellows. Martha Ann Mabry served the club as president, Wendall Parker as vice-president, Robert Beaver as secretary and treasurerg Avon Killion as problem recorder. Mr. Huck was sponsor. Back 1'9wfiG.

German The German Club was made up of students who have found their study of che lan- guage very fascinating. Through the assistance of Miss Luther many interesting and beneficial facts were learned and put into practice at the bi-monthly meetings which were held in the German room. The club learned that the German customs are as pretty as their beautiful speech. They found that the Germans are a hard-working, sincere, honest type of folk with little to be thankful for, but very appreciative of small favors. Their way of life, while difficult to understand at first, became more intelligible as the members learned their philosophy of living. Then it was much easier to understand and enjoy their famous music and literature. The German Band, organized by Van Haney, grew to be quite popular with everyone. It was made up mostly of club members. They played the German airs,' well enough to satisfy a real German and make him see his own lads playing those same old songs as he sits on his cottage doorstep and watches the sunset after a hard day's toil in his Held in the old country. During the school year, the club studied the life of Goethe and Schiller, two great Germans. Their poems were read and certain incidents i-n their lives were stressed. A special social hour was enjoyed at Christmas time. Songs such as Tannenbaum,,, l'Stille Nacht, Heilege Nacht were sung and German games enjoyed. In the spring, the students all felt as if they wanted a grtatcr variety, pi new song, O Straussburgf, was learned. This song is said to be one of the most famous and beautiful pieces in musical literature. The club was organized for the year in September at which time the members elected the following ofhcersz Julius Nolting, presidentg Martha Gildehaus, vice-president, Marjorie Foster, secretary-treasurer, and Woodrow Koelling, Sjnbinx reporter. The German club is considered by all German students as an essential for the proper appreciation of the language. Tbirly-sm vu Iizirk mfr- Mcreilitli. Koenig. Jones. Drury, lialan. Hunies. Stzilcup.

S., the music club was organized early in the second semester. Its main purpose was to assist the members to develop a correct stage appearance and the proper appre- ciation of good music. It was also felt that certain of the members might gain some very valuable experience in appearing before the public. The club was to make arrangements for the appearance of its members before civic organizations. Students of Freshman Chorus, Advanced Girls, Chorus, Boys' Chorus and Band were eligible to join the club. At the Hrst meeting, Miss Harris gave a decidedly entertaining and beneficial talk on Stage Appearance. She stressed the importance of proper habits for the correct interpretation of music and showed how closely they governed one's actions when in the 'public eye. To be able to sing before a large audience with perfect poise and con- fidence is an accomplishment of which one should be very proud. This is realized only after many years of hard work and persistent effort. But there is no excellence without labor and the joy one obtains from being able to do a certain thing well, is worth all the work spent on it-and more. A discussion of certain essential characteristics of a successful performer emphasized the importance of good tone quality, which is due to all the other important factorsg poise, which is attained through long practice, personality, which is cultivated from childhood on up, and breathing, which is acquired by following instructions and hearing the contrasts in the voices of properly and then improperly trained singers. During the latter part of the year Kitty June Qsborn, Uollfralfo, winner in the school and district solo contest, sang her required and selected numbers. Merle Thorp, who won second in school contest, played her piano solo. After each one,s performance helpful criticisms and comments were made. In this way the persons weaker points were brought forth that he might improve his presentation. The club oflicers are: President, Betty Bracyg Secretary, Anna Margaret Wham, and Treasurer, Maurice Humes. Thirty-eight Scenes About School Not all the studying in a school such as C. T. H. S. is done within the hours from eight-thirty to three-thirty. Many a student plunges into one or two more hours of work, play, and hard study after regular classes are over for the day. Satur- days and vacation periods also come in for their share of this extra work for which no school credit is offered. Our first picture shows two boys busy at work in the machine shop. Here the more interested students work long hours overtime on model steam engines, transmis- sions, and similar projects. In the second picture, we see two members of the Hi-Y busy at work in the club bookstore. This store, sponsored by the club, exists for the convenience of those students wishing to buy or sell used books. Our third picture shows two seniors out on the campus measuring the angle of elevation of the flag pole with an altimeter of their own manufacture. This altimeter was made as a project entered into as a result of some work they were doing in an advanced mathematics class. The next view, taken in the radio laboratory, shows a group of students listening to the instructor as he explains the operation of the oscillograph. Members of the radio and physics classes have spent many hours in this laboratory building apparatus and familiarizing themselves with the proper operation of modern radio testing equipment. The boys, with the tractor are members of one of the agriculture classes. Students in these courses have ample opportunity to examine all types of modern machinery. They also engage in worthwhile farm-projects under Mr. Clarida's supervision. The girls in the last picture are busy in the foods laboratory where they learn how to prepare substantial and dainty meals. l l l l Thirty-nine Forty The Hallowe'en float with Tressa as Cinder- ella and David as Prince Charming.

The Football Season On September 13, the Cardinals opened the football season with a 13 to 15 tie with Johnston City. Centralia did not come through with her 13 points until the fourth quarter. Collinsville, on September 20, invaded Centralia, but was turned away in defeat with a final score of 14 to 0. Again, on September 27, the Troutmen came through with a victory, defeating Benton 18 to O. At Olney on October 4, the Red Birds played their first out of town game with continued good luckg for Olney had to admit a 26 to 0 defeat. October 11, an ill- fated day, Centralia suffered a 14 to 6 slaughter at thc hands of Flora. Mr. Lutzis third team clashed with Mt. Vernon's reserves on October 12, and took the game 26 to O. Witli their winni-ng streak still holding, the Centralia Red Birds went to Salem October 18 and skipped back home with an easily gained 50 to 0 victory in the proverbial bag. Lawrenceville was doomed to disappointment when contemplating a victory over the 'lTroutmen', on October 25, for the hnal score was 20 to 6 with Centralia tops.,' The Murphysboro Red Devils arrived in Ce-ntralia on November 1, scrapped incessantly but in vain, and went home thoroughly vanquished by a score of 31 to 0. On Armistice Day, Belleville furnished one of the most exciting games of the season. The game ended satisfactorily with a 6 to 6 tie. The Cardinals still held their supremacy on November 22, by their 18 to 0 victory over the Carlyle l'Kaskaskians. As a grand Hnale, Centralia wound up a successful football season with the decisive defeat of Mt. Vernon in the annual Turkey Dayii game. With the score of 20 to 0 at the crack of the gun an-nouncing the end of the game, Mt. Vernon left the field utterly wilted. Centralia placed second in the conference with only one defeat throughout the entire season. Forly-one Klein Reed Gambill Hails Horton RHINEHARD KLEIN: Doughbelly played for three years at right tackle on the first team. He was the one survivor of the famous team on which Lowell Spurgeon played. Kleinis steady, dependable playing will be missed when the next football season rolls around. BOB REED: Bobbito,,' who scored both touchdowns in the Turkey Dayn game with Mt. Vernon in 1934, continued his brilliant career this year. Reedo was our all-state guard. In his two years of active playing, he scored more touchdowns than any other high school line man who ever played in Illinois. BILL GAMBILL: Gallstones drop-kicked for the extra points. The completion of a forward pass depended on his ability to receive. He usually ran interference, but in the Flora game he carried the ball and made our only touchdown. He will certainly be a great asset to the team next year. GEORGE HAILS: The adding machine broke, so it is not known exactly how many yards Norge gained for Centralia, but it is known that he made at least one touch- down in about every game. He rightly received the name Flash. Georgels brother was the famous Galloping Ghost of Southern Illinoisf' MELVIN HORTON: Horton is acknowledged as the best high school tackle in Southern Illinois. When the opposing ball carrier came galloping down the field, it was up to Horton to stop himg and he did. He graduates this June leaving another vacant place in the line. g,,.....,,.,, y L. Centralia's line rallies its full strength to stop Mt. Vernonis forward wall in a line plunge. F 0 rty- two Wham Harris Frost Frazier Btles JIM WHAM: Although Jamius had difficulty in getting started, he was a veteran tried and true by the end of the season. Playing at fullback position throughout the season, Wham threw quite a few good passes. His opponents were all agreed that he lived up to his name-WHAM! BOB HARRIS: In the Salem game, Below proved himself a capable playerg for when the second team was put into the fray, he scampered through, around, and over Salem. It is a pity that he will not be back next year to fill a position on the first team. JACK FROST: Through most of the season, Frostie was the quarter back and acting captain of the first team. His excellent choice of plays to be run demonstrated his ability to think clearly and quickly. As for speed- Flash', is what they called him. No doubt he will make a prize player next year also. ERWIN FRAZIER: When Mitchell left the game, Frazier was always ready and wait- ing to take his place in the line. In this event, he never failed to give his best of steady, dependable playing. He makes another able substitute who will be out of the game next year. CLIFFORD BOLES: Boles, rated as the heaviest man on the first team, played at right guard. By his sheer weight, he literally plowed a hole through the defense on a line plunge. His high-school football days have ended. There goes a hole in Mt. Vernon's line as the Troutmen try to run the ball through center. Forty-three l Mitchell Castellari Humes Frank Rushing ELDON MITCHELL: That valuable things often come in small packagesu is a reality as far as Mitch is concerned. He is knee-high to a grasshopper, but as deadly as 9 bottle of nitroglycerine. Our opponents often found this out too late. We anticipate great things from him next year. RAYMOND CAsTELLAR1: Knute,' was one of the hardest-hitting ends that Centralia has ever had. When he blocked them they stayed blocked. Although he has another year in school, he has reached the age limit of 19 and will not be eligible to play next year. MAURICE HUMES: On offensive, he never failed to begin the play correctly. His keen eye and excellent passing always resulted in the ball reaching its intended receiver. This was his last year on the team. ORVILLE FRANK: Early in the year Shorty,' received an injury that kept him out of the games u-ntil the latter part of the season. However, when he did recover, he made up for lost time. Someone else will have to fill his shoes next year. ED RUSHING: During the second quarter, when Salem tried to rush the second team, Rushing turned the tables and gave them the surprise of their lives, he scored three touchdowns as fast as you could say, 'ijack Robinsonf' Rush will be back next year. The Cardinal and White's fleet back field takes a stab at Mt. Ver- non's right end. Forty-four Root Fetgatter Fowler Griffin VVilson ROBERT ROOT! At the beginning of the season, Chi-nkv was a member of Lutz's squad. Because of his unusual ability, however, he was soon promoted to the second team. While substituting in the Belleville game, he made an outstanding record for himself. How we wish he could play next year! DONALD FETGATTER: Although Fetgatter only made the second team this season, it is a sure bet that he will be a regular next year. His true colors as an excellent guard were shown when he substituted for Boles in the Salem, Olney, and Belleville games. MAX FOWLER: It took a good man to substitute for Castellari, and a good man was Max. When necessary, hard-hitting Fowler took care of the left end like a veteran. When the season opens next year, he will not be in the line up. DIXIE GRIFFIN: Since Dixie hailed from Texas, one might hastily draw the conclusion that he would rather run than walk. This idea is all wrong, however, for he was a man of the hour who seemed to be every where at once. Next season will probably find him filling Kleinls place at right tackle. BOB WILSON! Because of his accomplishments, Wils was promoted from the third team to the second team early in the season. While playing as substitute left guard for Bob Reed, Wilson won the admiration of many football fans. They will miss him in the line up next year. I Here's where the weak Side of the line catches Mt. Vernon off guard pushing across for a gain. Farly-fin' The Football Banquet The annual Lions Club football banquet was held Wednesday evening, December 11, in the Crystal Room of the Hotel Pittenger. Athletic director William McAndrews of the Southern Illinois Teachers' College at Carbondale was the guest speaker. He expressed the opinion that football contained sufhcient intellectual value to be included in the regular curriculum of educational institutions. More than one hundred persons were present includi-ng the twenty-six members of the football team, which had won eight, tied two, and lost one game during the season. In a brief talk, Mr. Robert M. Garnier outlined the attitude of the Lions' Club toward football in Centralia, recalling that this organization made the sport possible some nine years ago by raising funds to buy the necessary equipment. Since then the club has entertained the players at the close of each football season. Principal Oscar M. Corbell emphasized the fact that without football, it would be difficult to build up traditions for a school. He asserted he felt proud of Centralia High's team for the splendid showing it has made. In commenting upon the paying of football players, McAndrews said that he thought it was all right for a boy to be given a job in order to stay in school and play, if he were made to work for his money. He also stated that boys in football were learning as well as building up a physique, because to be a good player, one must cultivate an alert mind. The speaker praised the local team for its ine showing in the Thanksgiving Day game with Mt. Vernon, which he umpired. At the conclusion of his talk, Mr. McAndrews introduced Ralph Hamilton of Car- bondale who showed four reels of movies, two dealing with football fundamentals as staged by the University of Michigan in cooperation with Coach Kipke, and two on basketball, showing the University of Kansas players in action. A few intricate plays were shown in slow motion allowing the audience to follow closely every detail. F arty-six The Freshman Class Early in the school year, the freshmen met for the purpose of organizing their class. This meeting was held under the supervision of Miss Harris and Miss Jenni-ngs. At this time Bill Wham was elected president, Peno Castellari, vice-president, Donald Dycus, secretary, and Sam Mooney, treasurer. Mr. Beebee and Mrs. Gerould were chosen sponsors. XVhen the student body elected the cheer leaders for the school year, Donald Dycus, a freshman, was one of the three chosen. Bill Wham, Bob Prater, Kenneth Reese, Dean McLaughlin, John Carl Hall, Dean Hayes, Marvin Corzine, Charles Farris, William Bonner, Robert Gallatin, Ralph DePew, Leland Wallis, and Frank Robinett played on the freshman team in the class basketball tournament. When the class met to elect the attendants to the May Queen, Bill Wham, the presi- dent, was quara-ntined with scarlet fever so Peno Castellari, the vice-president, presided. From the large number of candidates who were nominated, Deloris Eoutch and Virginia Ann Carlyle were elected. Under the leadership of Virginia Ann Carlyle and Beatrice Lamblin, the freshman girls prepared a stunt for the Everygirls' Banquet. The act was a take-off on a music class. Each girl represented one note of the scale. Ruth Dieckman was the teacher and under her able leadership the girls sang several clever little songs. The girls who took part in this skit were: Beatrice Lamblin, Ruth Dieckman, Josephine Eddleman, Mary Helen Gray, Joan McKee, Edna Ruth Cobb, Jane Hasemeier, Lucille Bourland, and Virginia Ann Carlyle. Virginia Ann Carlyle and Ruth Dieckman also gave a dance as part of the general program. Robert E. Wilson had one of the leading parts in the production, The Blue Teapot, a play which the Dramatic Club gave for the Woman's Club of Centralia. This play was repeated at an assembly program at the high school and again at a St. Patrick's Day tea at the Presbyterian Church. Robert has done outstanding work as a Sphinx Wf'a'k1,y' reporter and has contributed a great deal of original poetry to that publication. Among the freshmen who have done outstanding work i-n the music department are Frederic Potthoff in boys' chorus, Thelma Jo Crane, Ruth Dieckman, Mary Louise Garnier, Louise Eetgatter, Virginia Goodman, and Gloria Grissinger in girls' chorus, Verlin Ferguson, Deloris Eoutch, Kathryn Fark, Beryl Harp, Bill Mabry, Jim Mabry, Tommy Malan, Junior Osterholtz, and Kathryn Branson in band.

Fifly-one GEGDIINIIGIIHIEBIINIIGIIFS SCPHCMCBES JUNIGRS JUNIOR PLAY CARNIVAL PUBLICATIONS MUSIC GIRLS' ATHLETICS BASKETBALL IIPSIIDIIDIIIQ GQIIUIHIUIES MVJIINWIUIEBTIR The Sophomore Class Sophomores and freshmen have very few activities which are of sufficient magnitude to require them to function as a group. But, in spite of this fact, they are regularly organized as a class each year. . . When the Class of 1938 was called together at the beginning of the year, the follow- ing persons were chosen as officers: Jimmie Pick, president, Dixie Griffin, vice-president, and Evio Pollacci, secretary-treasurer. For sponsors they chose Miss Berry and Miss Merz. There are a few individual members who have accomplished much in their two years of high school work. Some have demonstrated their ability by excellent classroom reci- tations, others by outstanding extra-curricular activity. There is not sufficient space to mention every sophomore who has distinguished himself in the eyes of the student body. An attempt can be made here to recall only some who will probably remain active throughout their school careers. Robert Hay has distinguished himself as a saxophone player in the band and as a reporter on the Sphinx Wfeckly. His twin sister, Roberta, was an excellent drummist. Geraldine Garren has proven her ability for playing the clarinet. As a member of the popular orchestra and band, Martha Ann Mabry has come before the student body many times. In an assembly program, she played a saxophone solo entitled Scenes That Are Brightest. Besides playing a bass horn in the band, Walter McClelland has devoted considerable time and effort to Radio Club activities. In addition to vocal music work, Nancy Warren has been the artist for both the weekly and yearbook. Kieth Drury was a member of the weekly staff and boys' chorus. In the Latin I Club, he became the song and yell leader. Jane Davis has won fame by her excellent singing in the advanced chorus. Following in the footsteps of her sister, Vivian Owensby has done well both in class and as a member of the weekly staff. Elai-ne Cookie Ballantini received much attention as a result of the queer instru- ment which she plays. Everyone enjoyed her bassoon. Without doubt, Roger Lee will make an excellent drum-major i-n his senior year. Earl Salisbury boosted the Weekly's advertising by his distinguished sales-line. Everyone remembers The Blue Teapot which featured the sophomores, Nancy Warren, Frederick Meyer, and Barbara Willough- by. With this fine start they may some day become great actors. The great athletes of the class were: Dixie Griffin, Jimmy Pick, June Mooney, and George West. Bfiss Berry. Evio Pollacci. Jimmie Pick. Dixie Griffin. Miss lferz. Fifty-five B k B tt Pole .

The lunior Class As they entered upon their third year in high school, the ju-niors realized that this was to be a very critical year for them, a year in which they would establish themselves as an up-and-coming group or be classed as neier-do-wells. Not relishing a poor repu- tation, they began immediately after their organization in the fall to work on the problem of ways and means to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Concession rights at the football and basketball games were secured for the class and a few loyal workers including Myrna Lent, Kathleen Corbin, Betty Stubblefield, Betty Newlon and Dorothy Trout sold candy, ice cream, sodas, and hot dogs. It was decided in October that earning money from candy sales was too slow and uncertain and that some more profitable enterprise should be undertaken. Plans were made to stage a carnival December 13 and 14. Committees were chosen and prepara- tions for the big nights got under way. The exact nature of the carnival was left to the best judgment of the general chair- man, Melvin Hart and the carnival board: Myrna Lent, Betty Newlon, Dorothy Trout, Betty Bracy, Philip Buhl and Berthold McDonal. Many hours of work were demanded of these people and all the other workers who must go unhonored for want of space. When the carnival had come and gone, it was found that there still wasn't enough money for a first-class prom. Since the class could not see itself sponsoring a cheap reception, it was concluded that it would be necessary to give a class play after all. In due course of time, the play was selected and tryouts were in order. Two casts were chosen instead of the usual one. One cast gave the play, Heart Trouble on February 263 the second cast gave its performance the next evening. Now, that the play was done, there remained just one more thing to do before settling down to the big job of the year. Attendants for the May Queen had to be selected. The class chose to honor Betty Bracy and Dorothy Rixmann. Actual work on the Prom began just before the spring vacation. Finally, after many hours of hard labor everything was in readiness for the great occasion. No stone had been left unturned. It had to be a success, and it was! The juniors demonstrated to all who might be concerned that they were O. K. No one can doubt that they have set a record for succeeding classes to envy. Mr. Atkins. .Vf'UlIXUl',' jack Berger.

The play was a three act domestic comedy portraying the many difficult situations in which Mrs. Morrison found herself as a result of her social ambitions for herself and her eldest daughter. The young son, Junior, had to pay for his mother's folly. His trials and tribulations contributed greatly to the humor of the play. When things were not going so well, Junior gave vent to his emotions with another, good Lord. Betty Newlon played the part of the scheming Mother, Bob Wilson was her son, Juniorg Betty Stubblefield took the part of Patriciag Kathleen Corbin was the eldest daughter, Laura, Glen Cunningham played the part of Fred Morrisong Jack Elliott was Jethro Applebyg Vereta O'Bryant was Lenoreg Jo Stalcup played Conrad Tylerg with Gertrude Tillman his Wifeg Jerome Hasemeier played the Part of Tommy Calcr.

A Second 'll-leart Trouble The sad tale relating the woes of the social climbing Mrs. Morrison was presented again the next evening, February 27, for the enjoyment of those persons not on hand for the first performance. Everybody said the first cast had done right well and that if the second could only repeat they were bound to make a hit. Nobody was heard to voice .1 complaint. Twenty persons in the two casts obtained some first-class experience in the presenta- tion of the class plays which will make it hard for others to rate a part in the 1937 senior play. Benita Clifford was the Mrs. Morrison in this castg Clyde Fischer characterized Junior Morrisong Rosemary Sprouse was his younger sister, Patriciag Helen Vaughn was Laura, the daughter of Mr. Morrison, played by Carl Langhamg Paul Clifford as Tommy Caler was in love with Laurag Melvin Hart was Mr. Applebyg Pauline Baldridge was his daughter, Lenoreg Woodrow' Koelling was Conrad Tyler, with Dorothy Trout as his wife. Sixlg -nine The Carnival Hot dogs, caramel corn, pink lemonade, i-scream, hamburgers, soda pop, candy canes-all for a nickel-five cents! Come on up, ladies and gentlemen, right this way!', On the evening of December 13, big and little, old and young, began arriving on the scene to visit the crazy house, have their pictures made while they waited, and take their problems to the voice of experience. The rube band played and performed in such a way as to put the Marx brothers to shame. The fish pond was full of everything from pills to soap. The fortune teller held a lot of mysterious fascination for the girls, while all the boys must have gone into the booth where real kisses were sold. On Saturday night the carnival was a gala affair of streaming confetti and beautiful colored lights. At ten oiclock came the main event of the carnival-the crowning of the queen. There had been class competition for this honor and the juniors were proud to have Dorothy Rixman-n, a member of their class, reign as queen. All the other candidates acted as attendants to her, and David Waterbury, the senior president, placed the crown upon her head. The juniors staged this carnival in order to be able to Hnance the annual Junior-Senior Reception. Stalzdivlg -Philip liuhl, Berthold MeDonal.

Weekly The Sphinx Weekly, under the editorship of Anna Margaret Wham, has had another successful year. The first few issues of the paper contained no noticeable changes, but after the newly appointed staff had begun functioning smoothly, there were several revisions. Nancy Warren drew an original masthead which greatly improved the appearance of the front page. The four-column second page was changed to a live- column arrangement. The C, T. H. S. Room for Rime or Poet's Corner was intro- duced on the second page so that students would have a place to give vent to their poetical moods. In the fall, a large group of staff members motored to Carlyle where they attended the Southern Illinois Press Conference. Later, the editor and her associate were delegates to the State Conference held in Urbana on the campus of the University of Illinois. Both of these meetings were the source of many helpful suggestions which notably improved the appearance and character of the school paper. Of the twenty issues published during the year of 1935-36, several were special editions. Before school ope-ned there was a special pre-school issue. The issue honoring alumni who last year compiled the Hisiory of the Cefztmlia T0w'l1X!0'f1J High School was published after receipt of official notice that the history had been awarded first place in the State of Illinois. Another, which was popular among the student body, was the Yellow Sheet-the scandal edition which was published in the early spring. The final issue was the senior edition of May 20. In contrast to former ears ever student received the a er-it was delivered to . - y Q y n . P P . his home without char e. This plan was inau urated in an attempt to brin the 5 . - . . g . . 3 parent and general public into closer relationship with the high school. Euta Hill and Edra Schneider were the associate editorsg Julius Nolting was business manager, Wendell Parker served as circulation editor and Lloyd Rigg as advertising manager. Mr. Fortney was the faculty advisor of the editorial and business staffs. Seven ly-two Yearbook Shortly after the appoi-ntment of Mr. Herfurth as sponsor of the yearbook he, in collaboration with Mr. Corbell, decided that Charles M. Edwards of the senior class was the logical choice for the position of Editor-in-Chief. Not wishing to accept the responsibility for the entire supervision of the Sjnlzinx himself, Mr. Herfurth suggested that Mr. Spencer should serve as co-sponsor. Early in the year, a new plan for choosing the staff was inaugurated. Anyone wish- ing to be a member was invited to take either a copy or drawing test. The persons doing the most satisfactory work were placed on a tentative staff which was subject to change wherever any member failed to do hisassigned task. A point system for acknowledging the work done was introduced so that due credit would be given to those who were deserving of it. No member was allowed to have his picture taken with the annual group unless he had earned five-hundred points. The first subscriptions were taken in an assembly program which featured several musical numbers and a talk by the editor. Following this were two bulletin periods which brought the total number of subscribers to about three hundred. When the staff announced that everyone who paid for his annual before March 1 would get his name in gold on the cover, the subscriptions jumped to around four hundred fifty. The fruitful results of the new personalized advertising scheme proved its worth. Not only is this new sort of advertising beneficial to the merchant, but it is also of particular interest to the students, for they will thoroughly enjoy reading this section. The annual staff has worked innumerable hours, during vacations, o-n Saturdays, and after school, in order to give the student body a book that will be a real treasure in future years. Every division has been carefully worked out with the aim of editing a book that will rank among the best. Bark rorofllorotlly Trout. Dorothy Rixnianu. lletty llracy. Betty Anne XYinegarner.

Srwvfzly-lbrru The Band To keep in tri'm the band continued practising through the past summer meeting three times a Week with Mr. Beebee for group instruction. During the vacation months nine concerts were given. At the first of the season, the band played at Salem and at the country club. Later on they appeared in two concerts at Chautauqua Park, in four at the State Fair, and in one at the Peach Festival. During the latter part of the summer, the band enjoyed a week's vacation in camp on the Mississippi. When the football season arrived, the band was in excellent condition to give a first-class exhibition of drills and fancy twirling. All through the basketball season, the playing of the band kept the school spirit running high. In the music elimination contest, the following members of the band placed in the first division: Geraldine Osterholtz, piano, Elaine Ballantini, laassoong Joan Holcomb and Geraldine Osterholtz, L'lLl1'i11C'lLj Bernard Vance and Jimmie Arndt, alto saxophone, Joan Holcomb and Martha Mabry, tenor and barifone saxaphoneg Bill Mabry, French horn, Van Haney and Jim Mabry, 1510111501165 Junior Osterholtz, baritone hom, Sara Lou Ford and Roberta Hay, s1m1'e d1'zz111g and Jimmie Kell, fwirling.

The group first sang: Anfijnbwz, I Wfrlifml for fbe Lord, and Are Maria. Margaret Adams, Nina Louise Kaelin, and Betty Bracy appeared on the program with vocal solos. The advanced chorus returned to the stage to give their interpretation of Esfrellizz and Umfrr ffm Silver Shir. The combined choruses sang Esjlemz. Later in the yeir the advanced chorus gave a combined performance with the Boys, Chorus for Tl'lll'fJ!'I'.V, lllt'I'fl:1Ig and also at the Junior Chamber of Commerce Dinner. They sang: Czzisxou Song, I'lIlIIft'1!1i, Ijllllffllltl, Imfiafz Lore Call, Nlllj finze, Ligbfs Oni, SZL'l'l'fblYIl'f. Then the girls' chorus sang two numbers by themselves: My Song, and Mzzsfc' WZ7C'II Sofia Voifex Dir. ln the music elimination contest held in March, the following members of the choruses were recommended to the state contest: Nina Louisa Kaelin, S0'f7l'tZlIO and Kitty June Osborne, f'0llfI'fIlfU. Others placing in the first division were: Margaret Adams and Velda Sapp, .VUf7I'tI1IOQ Florine Hall and Howelene Powell, rolzfrrllfo. Each contestant must sing two numbers one required by the state and another which he chooses himself. The required numbers for the 1936 contest were: The Loflts Flozrrr 7 so rano- ll7be11 Ihr Roses Bloom eontraltog and The Blue Szwzn irls' chorus. P 1 n J S Serezzfy-fire Mrk 'uri' XYesnL-r. 'hoenix.

Boys' Chorus The 1935-36 Boys' Chorus was much larger than any of those which the school had sponsored in previous years. It had twenty-eight members and was exceedingly active in school affairs. At the beginning of the school year the chorus elected Wilford Osterholtz, secretary, Robert Reed. librarian, and Clyde Fischer, treasurer. Those who filled the offices in thc second semester were: Maurice Humes, secretaryg Philip Afflack, librariang and jack Elliott, treasurer. A trio was organized at the beginning of the first semester to appear in assembly programs. This trio included Jo Stalcup and Maurice Humes from the Boys' Chorus and Margaret Adams from the Advanced Girls' Chorus. The three were great favorites with their audience. A second trio, a boys' group, was chosen including Frederick Meyer, jack Elliott, and Verne Meredith. These boys sang at several of the chorus programs and were greatly appreciated. After the beginning of the second semester the work deepened in character and became more interesting. At the Marion County Teachers' Meeting held at C. T. H. S. the Boys' Chorus and the Advanced Girls, Chorus presented a program of varied musical numbers. This program was one of the outstanding events of the Music Depart- ment's year. A selected group of the boys had the pleasure of havi-ng part in a program given for the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Several members of the class participated in the voice solo contest in March. In the tenor division those competing were: Jo Stalcup and Frederick Meyer. In the baritone: Clyde Fischer, Phillip Afflack, Keith Drury, Edwin Wesner, and Earl johnson. The tenor soloist chosen was Jo Stalcup and the baritone soloist, Keith Drury. The required number for the tenors was Have You Seen But a White Lily Growf, The baritone required number was Linden Leaf' Before the end of the year, another program was given by the chorus. At the time this issue of the Sphinx went to press a repetition of last year's minstrel show was being planned. Sczfmly-six Miss Marshall was in such 21 hurry to get back to school she didn,t have time to button her coat prop- erly. Here we see Mrs. Hanna on the campus. Isn't that a pleasant smile?

Campbell, Chasteen Basketball By having regular practices throughout the Christmas holidays, the G. A. A.'s were able to get themselves into condition for the basketball tournament which was held on January 31 and February 1. In the first game, the seniors left the freshman-sophomore team practically standing still as they marched to a 36 to 6 victory. After this overwhelming defeat, the fresh- man-sophomore team rallied its full strength hoping to win the next game, but a close contest proved the juniors to be the superior team for the final score was ll to 13. On the second day, the seniors didn't even allow the scrapping juniors to get started, for the whistle blew as the score stood 32 to 1. The seniors' award was in the form of a delicious pot-luck supper held the following Friday in the school cafeteria. Eleven of the best players were chosen to enter the state free throw tournament, which is conducted by telegraph among the contending schools. Sevenly-eiglol r, fi' Kingsley, Borenp, Morgan. D.

Eleven of these, called team UA , chose Helen Gieseking as captain. Their opponents, team B , selected Gerry Osterholtz to pilot them through to victory. On Monday, December 2, team A began the tournament with a 21 to 12 victory. Team B turned the tables in the next game, however, and walked away the victor after a nip-and-tuck struggle resulted in a score of 21 to 17. Fortune again smiled on team A when they defeated their opponents 21 to 11, but their winning streak didn't last, for team B won the next two games 21 to 18 a-nd 21 to 16. On December 6, the sporting losers gave a party in the gymnasium for team UB . While we are not quite certain as to how it came about, another game was played at the close of the party. Team A again balanced the scales with a 21 to 12 victory. l Sffvezily-rzizze VVest, Osborne, Yauch, Holden, Duncan. Ford. Davis. Osterholtz, M. Campbell, D.

The captains chosen were: Gerry Osterholtz, seniorg Benita Clifford, juniorg Helen Gieseking, sopho- more, Violet Morgan, freshman. On October 11, the sophomores were again doomed to disaster when the juniors sophomores. In a one-sided struggle on the following afternoon, the freshmen suffered an 8 to 2 defeat at the hands of the juniors. On October 11, the sophomores were again doomed to disaster when the juniors slipped through for a 2 to O victory. Monday, October 14, was truly blue for the freshmen after they were completely vanquished by a veteran team of seniors who boosted the score up to 18 to 0. The match between the sophomores and freshmen on the following day was a bit more even, but, at that, the freshmen proved to be the inferior team when the sopho- mores rallied in the third quarter to win by an 8 to 4 margin.

The Cardinals started with a losing streak, only regaining their feet in time to go to the Pontiac tournament, where they were expected to place first after defeating Pontiac 45-27 and Farmington 40-25. But sudden sickness crippled the team and they suffered a 34 to 31 defeat at the hands of Johnston City. In the final game of the tourna- ment, the C. T. H. S. cagers descended to fourth place after a disastrous struggle with the Quincy five, which won by a score of 34-29. Exposure to scarlet fever then kept the whole team under observation for a week. When they did come back, every possible moment was spent in preparation for the Carlyle District Tournament, which was held March S, 6, and 7. ln the first game, the Troutmen defeated the Odin quintet by a score of 46 to 16. At the start of the second quarter in the next game, Sandoval was leading by a score of 9 to 8. The effective teamwork of the Centralia Hve in the next three quarters left Sandoval prac- tically standing still while the Red Birds marched to a 44 to 19 victory. XVith Trenton's defeat of 40-25, the home five won the district trophy and the right to play at East St. Louis. In the sectional tournament, the local quintet first defeated Altamont 46 to 10. Then a nip-and-tuck struggle showed Centralia to be the victor over Du Quoin by 30 to 26. The Hnal game was an easy victory for the Troutmen, who swamped XValtonVille by a score of 49 to 17. By this more-or-less unexpected development, the locals added another trophy to their collection and gfinecl the right to go to state. At the state tournament in Urbana, Centralia was obliged to play Danville, a team that had gone u-ndefeated through the entire season. The teams were neck-and-neck throughout the struggle, but in an overtime period Danville sunk two free throws to win by a 28 to 26 score. Eigfafy-one M Scott Rushing XVham Hails Mitchell John Scott: One of the forward positions on the first team gained unexpected renown in the person of Buddy Scott, the Centralia flash. His tall, lanky stature combined with lightning speed accounted for his high scoring record and excellent playing. Every- one looks forward to seeing Scott on next yearis team. Ed Rushing: With a total of one hundred forty-two points, Ed held the scoring record of the home cagers. For his fine showing at forward in the Danville game, he was given honorable mention on the All-State Basketball squad. Rushing will be back next year giving all he has for C. T. H. S. Jim Wham: It was marvelous how Pop Barr out-jumped every opposing center regardless of his height or skill. In the sectional tourney, even Waltonville's six-foot center was unable to get the tip-off from Jim. Wliam's high school athletic career ends when he graduates in June. George Hails: After a siege of illness had pre- vented him from playing, Norge,' staged a thorough comeback by scoring eight points in the Mt. Vernon scramble, his speed and accuracy netted Centralia six baskets. Hails will be inval- uable to the squad next season. Eldon Mitchell: Angelo is small i-n stature but he can certainly send that ball through the hoop. In the second Olney game, he was a high point man with five field goals and a free throw. MitchU substituted for Hails at guard in the Danville contest. He'll be back next season. Eigh ly-two Gambill Thomason Robinson Gansauer Van Auron Bill Gambill: Due to scarlet fever, Doc was out of the games the greater part of the season. Bill gained much fame for his beautifully arched shots that seemed to glide toward the hoop guided by some unknown force that never failed. If he can only hold that technique through next year! Clayton Thomason: While playing at forward in the reserve game with Olney, Thom- ason demonstrated his ability as a fast player with fore-thought and determination. He was among the reserves who went to Urbana for the state contest. Wlien the next season opens, he will probably be in the Hrst squad line-up. Virgil Robinson: Virgil went into the Olney reserve game as a center substitute. I-n the league game with the De Molays, he raised the score nine points when he was sent in as a substitute for Reed. He should make an eflicient center for next year's first squad. . , l Ferdinand Gansauer: Ferd,' was the Cardinal', i reserve guard who entered the semi-finals of the free-throw contest at Pontiac. In the Ol- ney reserve game, he ranked high with six points to his credit. Since he was picked to go as a reserve to the state, he may make the first team next year. Junior Van Auron: Van, a very capable guard, netted Hve points in the reserve game with Mt. Carmel. In the Altamont game of the sectional tourney, he played along like a veteran when Trout sent him in as a substitute for Rushing. Wfe expect to see him playing next year.

How we were literally scared stiffl' by all the older students who delighted in laughing at us when we entered the wrong roomg how we didn't know the procedure of filling out a tardy blank or asking for a library permit. These were only a few of our expected mishaps. As we rew older and wiser we raduall attained oise and confidence in ourselves. s g Y 1 P We were no longer looked upon as green freshiesf' We were Sophs. By our junior year we knew every corner of C. T. H. S. We were goodg we knew that. However, this was the year for hard labor. We had to give the seniors a recep- tion. After many candy and hot-dog sales and a class play we found we had money enough to entertain. Finally September 1935 rolled around and we found ourselves jauntily, yet seriously doing our last work in the school we had learned to respect and love. Between our junior and senior years we seemed to grow up mentally. New ideas were being formed and we had begun to realize the full significance of education.

As a result we find ourselves improved in personality, ease, and etiquette. One of the most important events of each year is the May Fete. Two attendants to the queen are elected from each class. The first year we selected Tressa Maloney and Kathryn Prater, second year, Tressa Maloney, Esther Newberryg junior year, Tressa Maloney, Virginia McGavicg and senior year, Tressa Maloney and Virginia McGavic. June Jones was elected May Queen. The senior class play, Q'New Firesf' was received with great enthusiasm while the junior-senior reception with its confetti and gayety was an instantaneous success.

He invites them all to come and visit him on the newly-inherited farm where he has gone to write. Thinking that they were to have a good time, everyone is astonished when the author announces that everyone must Work or go hu-ngry. Immediately they all begin scheming. Olive, the eldest daughter, feigns sickness. A young country doctor, Lynn Gray, who is called in announces that she not only -needs to live more healthfully but also needs a complete change in mental attitude. All the attempts to leave become hopeless when the family is quarantined for scarlet fever. During this time Dr. Gray becomes very affectionate with Olive who resists his attentions openly but really loves him. Dick Santry, who has taken on a wife, Eve, becomes interested in fruit and poultry raising with the anticipation of specializing and making enormous profits. Olive is shocked when she hears that Doctor Gray has had an accident. She nurses him back to health and without further delay they are married. Finally Dick and Eve are given the farm after Stephen and his wife return to the city with their children, Phyllis and Billy. Hele-n Crittenden was Lucinda Andrews, a widow of fifty, Lovell Gaston played as Suzanne Taler, a spinster of thirty-five, Emery Earthing was the farm hand, Sid Sperry, his 'sixteen year old son, Jerry, was characterized by Maurice Cattaini, Jimmy Kell became an author in the person of Stephen Santry, his son Billy was Bob Root, his daughter, Phyllis, Atlanta Scott, Euta Hill played Stephen's wife, Anne, Esther Wil- liams, as Olive, infatuated Donald Barlow who was Doctor Gray, Virginia McGavie had the part of Eve, the wife of Dick Santry, played by Bernard Vance, Glennadine Duncan was Mrs. Marshall, her daughter Mary was played by Esther Newberry, Madeline Schnake as Angie was Sid Sperryls wife. One Humlrm' Tcn May Fefe America, the Melting Pot, was the theme of the annual May Fete held May 21 on the Athletic field. 4 The idea that America is the melting pot of all the nations of the earth was por- trayed by girls dressed as foreigners who came onto the Held where they merged into the whirl of American life. Here they remained for a short while but were finally shot off from the eddy into many different groups just as foreigners after mingling with Americans single themselves out and settle in small communities composed mostly of people from their homelands. Every one of these people have done much to make America what it is today. They came to this country and poured their customs, their culture, and their theories into the one big melting pot. Each group returned to the stage separately to show its contribu- tion to the American civilization, every contribution was displayed by the particular folk dance of the represented people. Following this the groups returned to the stage to show the effect America has had on them, this was accomplished by giving such dances as Pop! Goes the Wfeasel and the Virginia Reel. When the dancers had retired, a senior girl from each group returned to the stage to wind the May Poleg this act symbolized the aliens as full-fledged American citizens. There were groups representing France, Sweden, Russia, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, England, Hungary, and Germany. W'ith all this pomp and ceremony as a background, the queen and her attendants, beautifully robed, reigned with the poise and assurance that is bred into nobility. Long before the theme was chosen, the girls' gym class, under the direction of Miss Whelan, had spent many hours of practice on the numerous dances. However, not every person taking part in the program was required to be taking gym. Quite a few girls participated as a result of an invitation by Miss Wheliin.

O11c'Il11f1il1'villilezvrz Tumbling g Everyone delights in seeing the daring young man on the flying trapeze, as he flies through the air with the greatest of ease. Well, the only difference between him and a tumbler is that the tumbler doesn't use a trapezeg he just flies through the air hoping heill light with ease. I It takes considerable practice for one to develop sufficient skill to perform even the simplest tumbling feats. The first step in this development is learning how to control effectively all the muscles of the body. Vigorous exercising and strenuous workouts bring every tissue into active play. Before one succeeds in limbering every part, how- ever, he suffers intensively from a sore back and aching bones. After these preliminaries, a fellow begins practicing on actual tumbling tricks. In a short while he's able to master the simpler gymnastics such as the forward-roll, back- roll, head-stand, kick-up, hand-spring, head-snap, and front-flip. Most of the fellows who were new to this year's team were able to manage all of these. Whe'n it came time for exhibitions, however, it was up to the veterans to give a hair- raising performance. They were able to do the harder stunts: back-flip, back-hand- spring, dives, head-spring, hand stand, and hand-spring-over-a-back. The team enjoyed a very active season last year, when 'programs were presented for an assembly, two or three basketball games, a church class, and a few neighboring schools. This year, however, it only appeared between halves of the Mt. Vernon basketball game on February 7. When Coach Lutz called the first practice, some thirty-five boys turned out ready to go. Of these, seven were 'loldtimersn- Doc', Hall, Dump Sieber, l'Willie Jones, Lloyd Rigg, Bob Root, M. J. Corbell, and jack McClelland. The fellows who make a good showing are awarded a school letter.

Those placing third were: Frost Frazier, Mooney, Cortelloni, and Rushing. On Saturday, April 13, Jack Frost, Clifford Johnson, Edward Rushing, and David Waterbury participated in an invitational track meet at Kell. Rushing and Waterbury both won firsts. In a dual meet with Mt. Vernon on April 26, Centralia was the victor with the score, 80 to 42. In this meet, Halls, Arning, Frazier, Mooney, Jones, Johnson, and Waterbury all won Hrst places in their specialties. Second place ribbons were won by: Frost, Frazier, Fetgatter, Cortelloni, Reed, Rushing and Mooney. Stewart, Fetgatter, Boles, Frost, and Taylor all placed third in one or more events. During the season, Hails and Frost showed excellent form in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Arning did very well in the 330 and 440 yard dashes. Frazier and Fetgatter set the pace for the boys in the mile run. Mooney handled the shot with the greatest of ease. Cortelloni wasnit bad with the weights either. Jones, Cortelloni, and Boles were all good at handling the javelin. Johnson, Rushing, and Frost won ribbons with their first-class performances in the broad jump. Waterbury and Reed were good at the high jump. Rushing, Griffin, and Robinson did some good pole vaulting. The low and high hurdles' ribbons were won by Baysinger, Mooney, and Taylor. Boles and Mooney hurled the discus. At the end of the track season, Coach Clarida took David Waterbury, Frank Mooney, and Erwin Frazier to the state track and field meet at Urbana. David won first in the high jump. Frazier, Simmons, Frost, Hails, Rushing, Robinson, Johnson, W. Simmons, and Boles reported for workouts at the beginning of the 1936 season, all bent on surpassing their previous records. x One Humlrezl Tbirleen Everyqirls' Banquet To the tune of 'QThe Music Goes 'Round and 'Roundf' three hundred girls got into the spirit of another good fellowship banquet on the evening of March 21. A girls' orchestra, dressed in dainty organdy formals, furnished the music for the occasion. Miss Ruth Dunn of Charleston, spoke on the exciting incidents of traveling in Europe and urged all of the girls to see the world if they possibly could. The daily life of the quintuplets was re-enacted by the juniors. Each quin had a speech and sang an original version of Wahoo.', The freshmen did their part quite -nobly by imitating a musical scale with girls, heads representing notes. The sopho- mores portrayed the sad fate of Romeo and Juliet in song. Half the girls were dressed as Romeo and half as Juliet. A fantastic take-off of one period in the teachers, room was given by the seniors. This banquet is the one affair in the school year for every girl in C. T. H. S. Plain school clothes are worn and a feeling of friendliness and enthusiasm prevails through- out the evening. lawn-Il iiaslmi. .vi'1zr'm' flmiVnmli,' Bliss Kessing. .Vfil71SUl',' Martlia Ciililr-hzius. ,r,'r1z4'1'uI f!ILIlil'7HiIlI,' Xli-s l'onA stable. .vf'm1.mr,' Betty liraey. jiuzmr rlruzrlmzn, O11i'II1H1Jr'ril lion: lvwl 1:1111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1m1mi1mi1m4.1.,4,1,..,111H1..,,1y4n1.4..1,,4,1,,,,1 ls this a room at C. .H.S.?
