That the Zenith of Re- construction may be not only a true record of the school year 1919- 1920, but that it may epitomize the spirit of the times as reflected in the life of Duluth Central High School, is the wish of the Zenith board. NOLONIHSUM Inlistory of D.CJALS. HE organization of the school district of Duluth dates back to April 10,1870. The following year, D. R. Haynes was elected as the first superintendent of schools. There were many changes of superintendent, however, until R. E. Denfeld was appointed to the office in 1885. The first mention of a high school is found in the ree- ords of the Board of Education for 1872. Seven years later, two three-year high school courses were organized, the graduating class of 1879 having two members. The Washington building, then on the site of our present institution, was occupied by the high school in 1883. In 1887 the school was moved to the building now known as the Liberty school. The first sessions were held in the present building in 1891. In 1895 a clock was put in the tower and after the Spanish-American War, a cannon was brought from San Juan and placed in front of the school. Enrollment in the High School numbered fifty-two in 1883; in 1894, four hundred, with agraduating class of thirty-two students; now, in 1920, there is an attendance of eleven hundred and a graduating class of one hundred eighty-nine members. The “Tiger,” the first annual published at the school, made its appearance in 1894. In this we find a history of the school up to that time. According to the account room 206 was the senior session room, while the rooms on the first floor were used for a grade school. Four organ- izations were then active in the school: the High School Musical Society, the Athletic Association and two literary societies—the Adelphic and the Olympic. Everyone in the school belonged to one of these literary clubs and much rivalry existed between the two organizations. The following year the Banjo Club and the Girls Athletic Association were formed. The editor of the “Tiger” dis- played asense of humor, for in that book appeared a picture of Mr. A. F. M. Custance with a full head of hair. As late as 1903 there were still a few locks, but since then he has had pulled them all out. The first “Zenith,” the successor of the “Tiger,” was published in 1895 at the price of twenty-five cents a copy. Stories and poems formed the major part of the book. We are given the impression that the Zenith board was distinctly a socialorganizationfor the records read that the members held parties nearly every week. The “Zenith” of ’04 was the best up to its time for it contained not only the name and picture of each senior, but likewise a complimentary line about him and his activities. This Zenith was the first to print pictures of the various athletic teams. In 1900, during a forty-five minute visit to Duluth, President McKinley addressed an immense crowd in front of the High School. The president’s “limousine” was a coach drawn by four gray horses. A cane rush, a custom which was practised for a num- ber of years, was held for the first time in 1901. The victors that year were freshmen. In 1892 Mr. Custance organized the High School Musical Society, the music of the school becoming volun- tary asa result. Starting with a membership of thirty, the society became so popular that the number soon increased to one hundred fifty. It was the largest and best musical organization in the city. The music of the school embraced chorus work of all kinds: part songs, glees, oratorio, opera, and music of a more popular trend, with orchestral accom- paniment. The High School Choir, an adjunct of this so- ciety, rendered hymns and anthems at all chapel exercises. The society gave four or five concerts each year, at least two of which were public concerts free of charge. On these occasions, solos were given by local artists and an explana- tion of the numbers on the program preceded the music. The society assisted in concerts given by other musical or- ganizations in the city. Many of themembers of this Society held prominent parts in the various choirs and musical or- ganizations of the city. The custom of holding an annual auction originated in the early days. At the end of the school year, the various articles found in the school, such as overshoes, umbrellas, pocketbooks, ete., were auctioned off. Mr. Rudolph, a former instructor at Central, used to wear bedroom slip- pers around school. These slippers and bottles of hair-re- storer for Mr. Custance took the big bids at the auction. The receipts from one of the auctions totaled $30.05. In recent years, candy, pennants, pillows, posters, and blankets have been made for the auction and it has grown until this year’s total, which exceeds all former records, was $886. It must be understood that every cent taken in at these auctions goes to buy dinners for.the poor of our city. . Having in mind all the traditions and customs which the history of the schools reveals, we have sought to foster. throughout the school year, the true Duluth Central High School spirit of enthusiasm and good will. | O our principal, Mr. Young, and members of the faculty of Duluth Central High School, in re- membrance of their kind cooperation and untiring efforts during the past four years, the Seniors dedicate this Zenith of 1920. b SSS ee MMe ero me MMMM SIMRO MMM = Ms ITT MM Ls Ws LL Le be SU Ue Us Ms Ss ae Se Pens sn se RUMI UN eM MMU eM SMT e Te SLI LLL © LLL Sane OL LLL LLL So PRINCIPAL LEONARD YOUNG. As our principal, counsellor, and friend, Mr. Young has been of great value to us in shaping our lives during our four years at Duluth Central High School. We have found him to be truly a man’s man and Central High School is fortunate indeed to have such a person at the head of affairs. We ask only that all the students who enter the school in the future may come to know and appreciate, as we have, his fine, ster- ling qualities. ee ee crt SMALLS LLL LLL ei nL LLL LLL SLL ne LLL LLL SLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL SLL SLL LLL LLL LL LLL LLL LL ff MTS HULU SMU HHO @ LLL CLL LLL LLL LLL Fr = TS he LL a TTTeTLELLLLL SLL LLL LLL LLLLLLLLLLL® LLL LLU LLL LLL LLL LL + M See Tee MMU MS Le Le MSO SMM eS SMe Mea seen enone MMe erm ten men nn erm erin TS Le DR.

Eighty-three THE CLASSS 1920 AUCTION Five seconds after the votes had been counted and we were told that Dorothy Fee and Raymond Bartholdi had been elected girl and boy chairman for the auc- tion, we knew that Central’s annual sale would be a big success, and we knew what we were talking about, because the 1920 auction turned out to be the most enter- taining, most energetically supported, and by far, the most successful one that Cen- tral has ever know. From the drawing of the curtain on the first number of the vaudeville enter- ainment to the last bang of Mr. Custance’s hammer, which sent the few remaining boxes to the last persistent bidder, the auction was a success exceeding our high- est expectations. And, as the November sun sank in the red glow behind the snow-coverd hills, a tired but eager group gathered about the checking table in the fast darkening as- sembly hall and patiently awaited the returns. Then came the good news that $886 had been made, passing last year’s record breaker by $255. The spirit of the entire school that preceeded and carried the auction to its pin- nacle was exceptionally fine. Every one got behind and boosted. Nowhere was there any kicking about this or th at, and surely no one ever enjoyed a more pleas- ing program on which appeared: Anna Banks, clog-dancing;” Boots” Watts,syncop- ation; Brewer Mattocks, Swedish sketches; and a number of songs by a trio com- posed of Lucille Thompson, Katherine Hall and Esther Holmstrom. The Peanut Quartet, dressed as hoboes, sang some original songs which went well with the school. On Thanksgiving Day, dinners were delivered to 57 families, and after all the expenses were paid, $300 still remained to be used in some other charitable work. To spend this wisely and for good causes presented a difficult task and it was not until April, 1920, that Ray and Miss Taylor disposed of the last $10. Mr. Custance, as auctioneer, was better than ever, and we feel that if ever the time comes that Mr. Custance shall not be on the throne in 207 and to officiate at Sorry he Auction,” the auction will lose half of its significance. The success of the auction was due entirely to the unselfish work of the com- mittee. - We are especially indebted to Miss Taylor for her wise counsel, Mr. Phil- lips and Miss Harker for their help with the decorations, and the entire domestic science department for their culinary help. The members of the girls’ committee were: Dorothy Fee, chairman; Miss Tay- lor, Grace Fairchild, Anna Banks, Gloria Bursch, Ula Dow, Helen Meining, Sylvia Josephs, Elvene Winkleman, Evelyn Erickson, Loretta Cadarette, Jeanette Boyer, Helen Stilson, Virginia Hearding, Dorothy Huse, Edel Sodahl,Agatha Norton, Lois Ingersoll, Cecelia Tolonen, Irene O’Brien, Helen Hamfield, Gertrude Otto, Doris Gotkin, Leona Miller, Ethel Shemick, Borghild Torgeson, Naomi Taylor, Adelaide Orr, Ruth Miller, Virginia Nott, Cecelia MeKercher, Eleanor Robertson, Inez Campbell, Grace McDonald, Grace LaLonde, Elizabeth Reinertson Evelyn Christ- man and Helen Cowper.

On board this ship were bustling workers eager tor advancement and recognition. Captained by Miss Effie White, they started on their voyage to- wards the port of Reconstruction. So immense was the ship and so speedy was its course that a collision with other ships seemed unavoidable—in fact, a rather forcible meeting did occur between four ships, but due to its great prowess and strength, the new ship sailed away with all the spoils of athletic warfare. After the strenuous work, the leaders of the skirmish, Bennett, Miller, Boyer, Peterson and Griffith, suggested that the members of the crew join in a merry dance and thereby forget their cares and troubles. However their worries returned again about June 13, just as they were preparing to enter the port of Re—, for indeed it must be confessed that the voyage was such a perilous one that during it a few of the passengers were drowned. After a short sojourn in this port, where the crew enjoyed a much needed rest, the ship departed, loaded to its capacity with literary and athletic supplies. Necessity demanded that the members of the crew prepare themselves to handle the problems they would encounter upon their arrival in the destined port, and so for nine long months they studied diligently and as aresult produced the greatest in- tellectual phenomena ever seen, namely, Griffith, Levine, Miller, Bolander and Josephs. School spirit also invaded its cabins and introduced to the crew his boon companions,—Swimming, Basketball and Football. Upon discovering their good qualities, the members of the crew invited them to remain, and so, with such distinguished and enviable guests on board, the great ship sailed into the port of Conra: 3y this time, the ambitions of the ship’s workers had reached a high water mark, and so they stopped at this port but a short time. They embarked with a feeling of confidence and in readiness to cope with greater and more important problems. As usual, they had to defend themselves against football and basketball raids made by the forces of the Superior and Denfeld ships. However, as soon as the crew of 1920 went into action, the invaders beat a hasty retreat, and forever afterwards regretted their foolhardy attempts to destroy the great ship. Chafing under their defeat, the crew of the Superior boat next attempted to redeem them- selves by seeking a mental victory. So in the spring of 1919, they sent over verbal forces to storm the great ship. However, this mode of warfare also proved a failure, for the Ship of Reconstruction was well supplied with the necessary ammunition ot brains and tongues. After this signal victory, the crew decided to give a ball, and being of a neigh- borly disposion, invited the crew of Ship 1919 tothe party. Thus, the Ship of 1920 merrily skimmed over the waters of the great harbor of Strue—. But the crew, with their characteristic energy, led by Capt. Taylor, pushed on through the deep towards the destined port of Tion. Throughout the voyage, the ship’s men displayed spectacular bravery in both athletic and verbal warfare, and as areward, enjoyed Speckled-taters” every month, Finally, they reached the great Zenith of their ambitions—the Zenith of Re—Con—Struc—Tion, and with its colors still flying proudly from the mast, the great ship finally reached the last port and finished the first part of its journey. After receiving distinguished medals for their work on board the ship for the four years,the members of the crew temporarily disbanded and began searching for jobs on boats preparing to sail on the great seas of College Life and Business Life.

Eighty-five THE CLASSES Senior Girls’ Dress-up Day Central’s annual farce came as a complete surprise. One morning in Feb- ruary we came to school and found all our dignified Senior girls skipping around | | the hall in short dresses, curls an’ everything. 1 We are told that Mr. Frey bought them all stick candy and gum to cap the situation. Ht It was great stuff to see our dear co-eds so exquisitely attired for without a we doubt, the change was pleasing for at least one day.

Coxie’s army had nothing on our outfit! We feel sure that Central has now displaced the House of Kuppenheimer as men’s tailors. From Percivals dewn through Farmers and Lumber-jacks, this com- edy was complete. We can hardly say that the effect on the girls was as pleasing as their effect a few days previous had been on the boys, although the girls had a good time laugh- ing at us, and as this was the main object, we might say it was a success neverthe- less, we feel that if all the boys in the class had entered in on the fun-making, the traditional event of the year would have been even more successful. Every person on this earth has some good quality, if you will only take the time to look for it.

We know that ‘‘Bevo”’ will keep on ‘‘mix- ing’ her way through life after June 12th in a way that will always bring her the poe of friends that she has made in Cen- tral. % Wenonah Whitten, who was chosen by the mixer of 719, did not return to Central this year, thus necessitating the election of her successor.

No doubt, the opin— ion that ‘‘Lolita’’ will give, however, can give you a better idea of his ability than anything a common ord’nary friend can say.

How Rampant Rumor came out from behind the curtain every few minutes “wiggeling” her ears and telling us how much she knew? And how Harricus Levinius’s happy scheme of advertising his undertaking establishment “turned out,’”—you must remember. Ne’er was woman so war-like as divine Dido, or male so meek as Aeneas. Indeed, Mr Custance may have modernized the farce too much in this respect. At any rate, Dido is assuredly a classic, unattainable by our successors and one of the “Wonders of 720”.

J ESSEXON | Ninety-five THE CLASSES DESERTED HIGH SCHOOL (APOLOGIES TO GOLDSMITH) Sweet Central, finest high school in the land, Where work and play go ever hand in hand, Where the young freshman comes, to learn the way, And parting seniors, lingering, long to stay, Dear lovely halls of cheerfulness and ease, Halls of my youth, “when eyery sport could please”, How often have I loitered in thy halls, Where every tablet friendship old recalls, These were thy charms, sweet Central, “sports like these With sweet succession taught even toil to please.” These round thy halls their cheerful influence shed. These were thy charms, have all these charms now fled? Here four long years our seniors played their part, As ever willing wisdom to impart. Within thy halls their influence ever shone And in both work and play. they were well-known. But now they go—they leave these friendly halls, Desert these walks—where fond remembrance calls, Ill tares the school, to long regrets a prey Since this, our much loved class, must go away. Class after class may come and classes go For each succeeding year has tound it so. But a class like this, the source of Central’s pride When once it’s gone, can never be supplied. Down where Commencement waits with counsel grave, Where they embark upon life’s troublous wave, Toward this they move, a sad, yet hopeful band, Pass from our midst and darken all the strand. Contented toil and steadfastness are there Ye guides which in all noble arts excell Ye pattern of all excellence, farewell. “Farewell; and oh! where’er thy voice be tried,” In business hall, college, or country side, “Whether where equinoctial fervours glow, Or winter wraps the polar world in snow, Still let thy voice, prevailing over time, Redress the rigours of the inclement clime; Aid slighted truth with thy persuasive strain; Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain;” Teach him, that men of native strength possessed, “Though very poor, may still be very blest;” And know wherever shall your steps proceed, Our hopes are that you always will succeed. Wiliam 8. Hearding, The usefulness of a postage stamp depends upon its ability to stick to one thing un- till it gets there. Ninety-six THE CLASSES JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY And I dreamed. I seemed to be on a precipice above the city, and altho at an angle, I should apparently have had a complete view of the town, yet that was not the scene that was before me, as all that lay below was shrouded in mists, except one building which stood out in magnificent relief. Its solid brown stone, sturdy construction, and its famous clock-tower rising majestically into the air as if to command respect from all who beheld it—the whole exemplifying the rugged and hardy, yet high spirit of the classes within its walls. These distinguished a land- mark which has been as a beacon for many eyes in the last thirty years. But as I watched, there came a change, the building faded from view and in its place lay a large plain, suffused with a bright glow af sunlight, but yet surrounded by mists. And now emerging from the fog on the one side of the bright plain, a pageant pass- ed across and melted softly into the mists of the opposite side. First came the section representing the Freshman year of the class of twenty- one. There were the class football boys in their torn, dust-stained uniforms, carry- ing there helmets, their hair dishevelled, high-hearted aud undaunted, tho suffer- ing the inevitable Freshman defeat. Then the swimmers, that splendid team, that so easily won the contests with the Juniors and Seniors. And yet more athletics fol- lowed: part representing the champions of the undying game of basket-ball. Surely they were invincible and surely they deserved praise as they swung along with the assurance of the victor. Then came the group typical of the class support of all act- ivities, whether social or financial or charitable. This group was united, responsive, and steadfast. And they were the last. Followed the Sophomore year. More poise in there step, and just alittle dis- dain for those who had gone before, these people had. There again were the basket- ball boys—yet undaunted, tho not entirely undefeated as before. There also were the football men, but not as battle-scarred as formerly, rather were they fresh and unfatigued; the influenza epidemic had interrupted their schedule of games. The group typifying the social events of the year followed—representing the successful class party, and the large attendance given by the nineteen hundred and twenty- one class to the various affairs of the school. And then the present and Junior year emerged from the mists. Representatives there were from this class in all walks of school life: the school cheer-leader, a Junior; _the Girls Club president (during the second semester), a Junior; members of the class on the first and second basket-ball teams, and on the football second team— surely they were fulfilling the promise they had given in their Freshman year, of harboring material for leaders and workers. There again wasa group of girls who, following in the steps of their sisters in the class of nineteen hundred and nineteen, had founded a literary club, and there were those of the class party, which was a success as always, and of the annual and custom-honored Junior-Senior “prom”. As the last of the procession vanished and once more left the plain vacant, the bright glow of light faded and the building came again into view, with the mists still hovering about it. Then I thought, in my dream: “Will not the Senior class, which will be molded out of these three sections be worthy its place in the school?” F. LOUIS TRAVERS. A lot of people like to throw hot rivets when they know the other fellow hasn’t a bucket ready to catch them. Ninety-seven THE CLASSES. Junior Athletics The class of 1921 prides itself on its clean athletic record. Every contest in which the class has engaged has brought out its spirit and enthusiasm. This year, we boast of one football “D” man, Tyndall Palmer. Our Class team was scheduled to play a game with the Seniors but, luckily for them, early snow prevented its performance. Although our basketball team made easy work of the Freshmen and Sopho- mores, we lost a heart-breaking game to the Seniors, which gave them the inter- class championship. We have on the school team this year, Gronseth, who is one of the fastest forwards in this district. Our class line-up was as follows: forwards,Todd and Grouseth; center, Haehnke; guards, R. Anderson and Toback, The Juniors had the same bad luck in hockey as in basket ball this year, losing to the Seniors by the close score of 1-0. Our team was composed of: Alexander, capt. rover; Graves, center; Palmer, rt. wing; Aske, left wing; Giles, cover point; McIver, goal; and Taylor, point. On the Boat Club rowing crews, the Juniors are also well represented. Taylor and Mitchell were coxswains on the victorious Duluth crews at Worcester last sum- mer, The interclass swimming meet will not have taken place before the Zenith goes to press,but we are confident of the honors. Two of the members of Central’s state championship swimming team are Juniors, Gow and Edson. Track, too, comes too late to be written in the Zenith, but we know that 1921 will be right there. The only honorable way to commit suicide is to work yourself to death, Ninety-eight CLASS THE CLASSES JUNIORS’ DESPAIR When you haven’t got your lesson, And you do not care a rap; “Tke’s” third law may have you guessing But you think he was a sap, And your right hand neighbor whispers As he gives his knee a slap, That he knows he’s going to Flunk—Flunk—Flunk. Mr. Phillips looks straight at you, W on’t you please explain the next?” And you hunt in desperation Through the pages of your text. Shades of Newton! Suffering cork screw! What’s a fellow to do next, If he doesn’t want to Flunk—Flunk Flunk? Then you stutter and you mumble, ’Bout the pressure of the air, The point of application And the prime of big D? Mr. Phillips smiles sarcastic, Motions you to take a chair, And you have that guilty feeling that you’ve Flunked—Flunked—Flunked. —George Netherby.

One hundred seven THE CLASSES NIN The large tribe which entered Central in 1918 was given the name Class of Victory. It showed up well in athletics considering that its warriors were young and inexperienced in this mode of warfare. Its first great victory was won in ex- temporaneous speaking by one of the braves. So you see that during this year the tribe lived up to its splendid name. At the first council the next year, they chose Edward Kent to be their chief, Elizabeth Mendenhall to act in his place when he was away, Julia Waldo to keep the records, Donald Mitchell to take care of the gold, and Miss Effie White to be chief advisor. At the next meeting Chief Kent announced that George Morrow had been made editor. In the inter-class games they took their part. but several times were unable to hold out against the more skilled warriors of the older tribes. A large number of the maidens and braves belonged to the various clubs of the camp and showed their different and numerous talents in these. Soon they will have to leave the camp again, but when they return once more, they intend to win more and greater honors and to defeat the other tribes in almost all the wars so that when they leave the last time, all will honor and respect the Class of Victory.

An obstinate man does not hold opinions—they hold him, One hundred eight THE CLASSES Sophomore Athletics As Freshmen we were seriously handicapped by the flu, consequently we were unable to accomplish anything in football, although we had a championship team. However, in basketball we defeated the Sophomores, much to their sorrow. In September we returned to good old Central determined to make a name for ourselves in athletics. On Saturday, November first, we went out to take a little exercise, and inci- dentally gave the lowly Freshmen an overwhelming defeat in football. The score was 24 to 6 and if it had not been for the three or four inches of snow that covered the field, we would have simply swamped the underclassmen. Due to the season’s starting rather suddenly, making it impossible to practice, we were defeated by small scores in basketball. The team showed its true class spirit and swallowed the defeats gamely.

The class also takes this opportunity of expressing its heartiest thanks to Miss Austin for her wise counsel and faithful services as class adviser. CLASS HISTORY On Sept. 3, 1920, when the Freshmen filed into the assembly hall tor registra- tion, they were not yet aware of the fact that they were the beginnings of the new and glorious class of 1923,—that some day they would be the pride of the school, and because of their wonderful class spirit they might set an example for the class- es to come. At the first class meeting the following were elected as officers: William Cov- entry, President; John McCoy, Vice-President; Emily Lanigan, Secretary; Harriet Gregory, Treasurer, and Miss Austin, class advisor. John Frazee was appointed editor. Now that the class was organized our next step was to show the upper classmen what we were made of, and that we were the “peppy bunch” about which we had so glibly boasted. We began by presenting ourselves at the interclass hop. This caused the up- per classmen to begin to take notice of us. Then we entered athletics. Our first venture was agame of football with our enemies—the sophomores. Although we were beaten, we were not daunted, and when the basket ball season came, we took a considerable amount of the haughtiness out of the sophomores by defeating them with a score of 18 to 10. And so we went on through the year, always playing the game fair and square, and turning out to all other school games to display our school spirit. We wereal- ways on the run; when we weren’t chasing girls, we were pursuing our studies. So when we are seniors and our hearts are saddened with thoughts of leaving, may we look back upon our record with a feeling of satisfaction that everything that we have done has been for the good of the school, as well as for the glory of the class of ’23. WILBUR HADDEN No man is an optician because he makes a spectacle of himself, One huudred twenty-two CLASS) THE CLASSES Freshman Athletics The past year has been a most successful year of athletics for the Freshman Class. On their schedule appeared four games, three of which were with their friends, in whom they found their greatest rivals, the Sophomores. Football was the first game which was played with the above-mentioned class. It was a battle all the way through. (By the way, if anyone is making a list of the world’s greatest battles, he will be severely critized if he omits this one.) The Sophs, the greedy things, were not satisfied with the twenty-four points they got, while the Freshmen seemed perfectly content with nothing. On December 2, 1919, the Fresh- man basket-ball team went into action, only to be defeated by the Juniors. The game was fast and exciting all the way through. The Juniors left the floor with twelve points hanging from their belts and admitted that the Freshmen deserved the five points they got. On the following day the Freshmen’s luck changed. The first scalp they got was that of the Sophomores, in a basket-ball game that was worth going miles to see. The game ended with the Freshies on the long end of a thirteen to ten score. ‘We take the privilege of classing under indoorsports, a new item, which is the class dances. This may seem rather peculiar, but “Fat” Cleveland and “Farmer” Lutes tell us that they lost three and five pounds respectively at the Freshman Hop. It may prove to the advantage of some of you who are “heavily inclined” to try this great reducing remedy. Hockey is the game in which the first-year men stand undefeated. They won from the Sophomores, but it is evident that the other class teams did not want to play them, fearing that by the end of the season the Freshies would have too good a record for a Freshman class. Sometimes the difference between a kleptomaniac and a thief is the difference in the amount they can pay for a lawyer. One hundred twenty-seven THE CLASSES A LAY OF ANCIENT ROME O! the Roman was a rogue, He erat, was, you bettum; He ran his automobilis And smoked his cigarettum; He wore a diamond studibis, An elegant cravetum, A maxima cum laude shirt, And such a stylish hattum! He loved the luscious hie-haec-hock, And bet on games and equi; At times he won; at others, though, He got it in the nequi; He winked (quo usque tandem?) At puellas on the Forum, And sometimes even made Those goo-goo oculorum! He frequently was seen At combats gladitorial, And ate enough to feed Ten boarders at Memorial; He often went on sprees And said on starting homus, “Hie labor-opus est, Oh, where’s my hie-hic-domus?” Although he lived in Rome— Of all the arts the middle— He was (excuse the phrase) A horrid individ’]; Ab! what a different thing Was the homo (dative, hominy) Of far-away B.

One hundred twenty-eight {HL9 20 FH THE CLASSES THE TROUBLES OF FRESHMEN There’s trouble for Freshies whereyer they turn, There’s Latin to master and history to learn; Our problems in algebra never are right And in English our papers are one sickening sight. And then come those terrible tests and exams, For which each Freshman so helplessly crams. While from the table in the assembly hall We’re sent to our seats for most nothing at all. That we must stay eighth period’s a crime, When the rest can leave school and have a good time. But the Soph’mores and Seniors are worse than all these— They tell jokes about us, for they just love to tease. They have no respect for our feelings at all As was plainly shown when we came here last fall. They set us on fountains and took off our shoes, And by their directions our way we would lose. They even intruded in our own Freshman Alley: Just to disturb us and make mischief you see. The youngest are we, so we take what we get And face all our trials without e’en a fret, But no matter how hard upper classman talk stings, There is one thing that helps sooth our hurt feelings: Next fall when those seniors are out of the way, ; We'll begin on the Freshies that very first day. And a few of these pranks on to them we will pass, Which they’ll give in turn to the next Freshman class. —Gail Melvin 3 ciass-of ‘23 DREA M oa = The Day of Teenor.

The result was that a “re- cord-breaking” crowd attended the game. Later in the year, through the help of Miss Taylor and Miss Harker, the club was formally organized with the purpose of boosting all the activities of the school. Shortly before the class play, the Jazzerettes conducted an ice-cream sandwich sale to help defray the expenses of the play. The sale was a big success, and $25 was cleared. The Jazzerettes are recognized as a valuable asset in school life of Central. By their services, they have helped preserve the true spirit of the school OFFICERS: PATA TE SURES ALD S eee Oot ek tere Re er en eee es oe A aot Se ap i ta President Aliza bethit einer teotl yee ee ee See ee ete ane Secretary There’s beauty in the thunder’s roll and in the ocean’s roar; I’d rather hear a ton of coal that hits the basement floor.

Its two purposes are to afford an opportunity of instruction and practice in standard music to its members and to participate in all school programs and en- tertainments. The, Orchestra this year has an active membership of twenty-seven, with three other students practicing for entrance on school-owned instruments, which were bought by the School Board. In two joint concerts with the Denfeld Orchestra, the Central Orchestra started to raise a fund to pay for the instruments. Three hundred and_ fifty dol- lars were taken in by the two orchestras.

Since then, the club has been growing steadily. The purpose of the club is to promote the principles of clean speech, clean habits, and clean sports. “Peppy” meetings were held every Tuesday at the Boy’s Y, where dinner was served. The one hundred and ten boys were divided into classes under the di- rection of Mr. I. K. Lewis, Mr. G. Heghardt, Mr. F. Buck, Mr. P. Favor, Mr. J. Carson, and Mr. N. McLeod. Oncea month a special meeting was held with a musi- cal program and special speakers. Dr. House, of Oregon, Mr. Dennison and Mr. Paulson, of Chicago, and many others spoke at these programs. A joint meeting with the Girls Club, and the sending of delegates to the State Boys’ Convention were two of the special events of the year.

Under the able leadership of Miss Florence Smith of the “Y” who, in the fall succeeded Miss Bradley, this year has been filled with many successtul undertakings the entertainments.

The members of this club were selected by the Zenith Board and they cooperated during the entire school year with that organization. When thecall came for posters to advertise the sales of the Zenith-slips, each member responded with one or two posters. At the meetings held each week in the Art Department, the members offered new material and ideas. A definite style of printing was selected and certain forms were chosen which would make the art uniform.

One hundred thirty-nine THE PEANUT QUARTETTE “The Peanut Quartette” with their “Old Soaken Bucket” and other “dry” songs were with us again this year. Ken McClure was the only nut to survive the last group, as he was not quite ripe enough to-be chosen by the higher school organiza- tions. They started out big and strong at the beginning of the year and developed into a real quartette by “Auction time’, both in advertising and entertaining. Since then they have been called on to entertain at the majority of social doings. The first crop of “Peanuts” came to light in 1917. Two members of the faculty and two senior boys make a mixture of nuts whose songs were readily approved by the students. With such a popular crop as a starter, there has been little difficulty in finding enough nuts to reorganize the quartette each year. This year’s crop of peanuts are known to most of us by the following names: Bill Alexander, Ken McClure, Reg Cowen, and John Bennett. Facts rush in where fiction fears to tread.

Much has been contributed to the Spectator during the clubs’ successful career. The purpose of the club is not only to give a chance to those having the talent to develop their abilities, but also to spread an interest in literature through all classes in the school. The club is divided into four sections this year: Miss Ross is advisor and head of the poetry section. Miss Richards is head of the drama section. Miss Harris is in charge of the editorial section.

It was a good start for the season. The game was played on our home field and we defeated our oppon- ents with a one sided score, twenty-one and nothing. Specia] mention is deserved by Herbert Clow, whose stellar back field work was continued throughout the season. McCormacks trained toe took a leading role in the first game, by making three out of three chances for goal kicks. This first game victory did much to liven up the student body to the support of the team. The lineup was, McCormack, r. e.; McFarlane, r. t.; Aske, r. g.; Graves, ¢.; Erickson, 1. g.; O’Neill, 1. t.; Watts, 1. e.; Anderson, g. b.; Clow, 1. h.; Palmer, r. h.; Moritz, f. b. Nelson Dewey Game Nelson Dewey received its annual defeat in Central’s hand. We learned a lot from this game. Our line was weak and lacked cooperation on defence. The team played hard when our goal was threatened. Herb Clow was in better than ever. It was thru his wonderful playing that we scored so heavily. He was hard to catch and harder to hold on to. The lineup was practically unchanged from the first game. The game ended with Central 40, Nelson Dewey 6. Eveleth Game Our first defeat of the season came at Eveleth amid snow and slush. Our boys fought a loosing battle. Our team was handicapped by the absence of McFarlane and McCormack who refused to play. The score was: Eveleth 47, Central 0. The Cathedral Game With the Cathedral game, Central’s warriors spoiled all the predictions and upset all the dope. Cathedral said that they would either defeat Duluth Central or quit playing football. On Saturday afternoon, October 18th, the largest crowd ever attending an interscholastic meet of any sort, witnessed the annual Cathedral-Central clash. The weather was snappy and both teams were in excellent form. Central had a new team. It was the climax of a week of hard training. Chan- cey Colton and ‘‘Bunk” Harris did their best to mould the new material into prop- er form. The game started with a rush and never stopped until the final whistle. There were no Central stars in this game. Every man played the best foot ball he knew, and it was winning football. Seventeen successive times Central’s boys made their downs by straight line work. It was a fight to the finish and Central won, 6 to 0, The line-up was: Moritz, le; Whitmore, 1.t; O’Niell, g; Watts, ec; Annand, r.g; McFarlane, r.t; Meagher, r.e; Marshall, f.b; Clow, Lh; Boyer, r.h; Anderson, q.b.

One hundred fifty-one THE ACTIVITIES St. Paul Game The St. Paul game was one in which there was much interest shown. It was the first game with that school in two years. The contest ended with an 0 to 0 score. The teams met on a muddy, slippery, icy, field. The game see-sawed back and forth with each team holding its own. It was an odd game in the respect that there were no penalties. It was clean throughout. There has always been a good spirit between these two schools and we trust it may continue unbroken, The school entertained both teams at a dinner which was appreciated by all of the players of both schools. The lineup was unchanged from the Cathedral game with the exception of our speedy half, Herb Clow. We missed his long runs and sure tackles. The Superior Game The Superior game of 719 was a heartbreaker for the Red and White. Superior’s pertect action and megs of trick plays outdid us. Our boys played hard but things didn’t seem to move just right. We lacked the punch to win. Nevertheless it was a great game. An enormous crowd witnessed it though the day was cold. Our steady little half back Clow, played a wonderful game. Time and again he broke away for long runs only to be downed within reach of a goal. Superior scored three touch downs, missing one goal kick. The score was 20 to 0. The lineup was unchanged from the Cathedral game.

Those in charge were confronted with the unfortunate situation of having sey- eral players declared ineligible at different times during the season, a condition which made it impossible to develop a style of play and bring the eleven through the different stages of t raining to the point where it would work with machine-like precision. That a successful football team, or athletic team of any sort, is entirely depend- ent upon the eligibility for participation and conscientious attandance at practice, during the whole season of every experienced man in the school, was one of the lessons learned from the past season. I feel sure that if the eleven which represented Central in the Cathedral and Superior games, could have been together all season under foregoing conditions, one ot the finest records ever made by any Central team would have been the result.

One hundred fifty-seven THE ACTIVITIES REVELATION He had not made the team. The ultimate moment— Last practice for the big game, his senior year— Had come and gone again with dizzying swiftness. It was all over now, and the sudden cheer That rose and swelled to greet the elect eleven Sounded his bitter failure on his ear. He had not made the team. He was graduating. The last grim chance was gone and the last hope fled; The final printed list tacked up in the quarters; A girl in the bleachers turned away her head, Ile knew that she was trying to keep from erying; Under his tan there burned a painful red. He had not made the team. The family waiting His wire, up-State; the little old loyal town That had looked to him year by year to make it famous, And laureled him each time home with fresh renown; The men from the house there, tense, breathlessly watching. And, after all, once more, he’d thrown them down. He had not made the team, after years of striving; After all he had paid to try and held it cheap— The sweat and blood and strain and iron endurance— And the harassed nights, too aching-tired to sleep; The limp that perhaps he might be cured of some day. The ugly scar that he would always keep. Ile had not made the team he watched from the side-lines, Two days later, a part of a sad patrol, Battered and bruised in his crouched blanketed body, Sick and sore to his depths and aloof in dole, Until he saw the enemy’s swift advancing Sweeping his team-mates backward. Then from his soul Was cleansed the sense of self and the sting of failure, And he was one of a pulsing, straining whole, Bracing to stem the tide of the on-flung bodies, Helping to halt that steady, relentless roll; Then he was part of a fighting, frenzied unit Forcing them back and back and back from the goal. There on the side lines came the thought like a whip-crack As his team rallied and rose and took control! ITe had not made the team, but for four long seasons, Each of ten grinding weeks, he had given the flower, The essence, and strength of body, brain, and spirit, He and his kind—the second team—till the power To cope with opposition and to surmount it Into the team was driven against this hour! What did it matter who held onto the leather, He or another? What was a four-year dream? Out of his heart the shame and rancor lifted, There burst from his throat a hoarse, exultant scream.

HLS. BASITETBAILIL The 1919-20 Basketball season was asuccessful one at Central. Billy Anderson was chosen captain, and he filled his position well. We were mighty lucky in being able to secure Paul Favor as a coach. The Boys’ “Y” generously offered him without remuneration to the coach or to the “Y”. Favor worked hard an1 long to turn out a good, clean team and his work and results were good. Preliminary Games The season opened with a game with our ex-boys (the alumni). The game was exciting and tast. We defeated our opponents 32-22. The Two Harbors game was strongly contested but in spite of the fact that Two Harbors won 11 to 10, it was soon apparent which of the two teams were the better. We met and defeated Cathedral twice during the season. The first game on their own floor ended with 19-11 in our favor. Our lineup for these games were: Anderson, (captain) forward; Gronseth, forward; Watts, center; McFarlane and O’Neil, guards. Superior Games Our first game with Superior was a grand victory for us. Regardless of their seeming desire to “rough’’ things we beat them by a 28-17 score with clean, straight playing. In our second game with Superior they beat us fair and square. The game was on our own floor and was well fought and full of interest throughout. “Easy” Games Nelson Dewey was our victim twice. They ran us hard for the victory but we knew. how to run. “Boots” taight us how. Denteld was matched against us twice and twice defeated. They played a good game and have a good team for a school ot that size. We had a walkaway at Proctor. All we need to say is that the score was 69 to 8. Range Games On the day following our second game with Cathedral we journeyed to Hibbing and played that night. Hibbing beat usin that game 8-16 but we evened things up well when we met Hibbing in the semifinals of district representation at State Meet. The score of the game was 22-12. It was a notable victory and showed the range towns we had a team that could deliver the goods. The heart- breaker of the season came in the finals with Virginia. The game was extremely close throughout and when the whistle blew the score was one point against us. Virginia had eliminated us for a chance at the state meet. The score was 18-19. The error of a moment may become the sorrow of a lifetime. One hundred sixty THE ACTIVITIES Our Teams Much of the credit for the success of the season must be given to the second team who so willingly and faithfully practiced against the first team. There was always a full second team with some extras. Those who stuck by the team were: Marshall, Miller, Larson, Ekroot, Toback, Hanecky, Saksonoff, and Herbert: Clow. 66 . � . ae D” awards were given to the following first team men: John Gronseth Wallace O’Neil Eugene Watts Robert McFarlane Felix Litman Lawrence Champion Baillus Anderson (Captain) PAUL FAVOR Coach ANDERSON McFARLANE Captain Guard Forward Third Year Second Year When a man begins to blow in his money a lot of people get wind of it. One hundred sixty-one THE ACTIVITIES Review of the Season Central’s basketball season opened full of “pep”. No less than 38 men “‘stood by” for the first practice. More encouraging than this was the tact that all thru the season’s practice the men kept on the job. With a first string squad of ten men, there always were enough more to give the first team a real scrimmage. This speaks well for the hopes of another year’s record. At the opening of the season it was necessary that a captain be elected to lead the team. Baillus Anderson was the selection of last year’s players and the way “Billy” came thru the season is a credit to the school. Three regulars were left over from last year as a nucleus upon which to build ateam. Another forward and guard were needed, also reserve men for the front, center and back positions. After proving his worth, John Gronseth was picked as a rupning mate for “Billy” and what these two youngsters did to Hibbing with the tap trom center, assisting in our first game of the district tournament, will long remain in the minds of the fans who witnessed it. Litman proved himself a very versatile player and ably filled either forward position. Ekroot did well in all the games he played. Lawrence Champion at center developed rapidly and quickly gained a reputation for being a hard, fast, aggressive player. Only a freshman, “Champ”—other things being equal—ought to develop into one of Central’s big stars. “Wally” O’Neil, as a running mate for “Packy”, was in the game from whistle to whistle and the way he could dart and take the signal at his guard wasa revelation. The “old regulars”, “Billy”, “Packy” and “Boots”, all played well and upheld the strength of the team. This gave confidence to the new men in- the line up. Billy was picked as all-forward on the Head of the Lakes team and why “Packy” was left out we’ve never been able to figure. In handling the ball he played rings around his opponents and as a defense man was a stone wall. “Boots,” as well as being a valuable player, made a hit as the best entertainer on the team and Hibbing folks are still talking about him. The team, as a group, made an enviable record for their clean and fast playing and stand out as the only team in two states to have defeated Superior and that on their own floor. This year’s coach wishes to thank the school for the opportunity of going thru the year with such a fine group of fellows. PAUL FAVOR.

Sherman O’Brien, who assisted “Bunk’’ in coaching our football team, and was injured in scimmage practice. Also for his work as President of the Athletic Association. Kendell McClure for his peppy speeches and work as Student Manger of Athletics. Also for his leadership as “Yell Master’’. Anna Banks for her work as “Yell Mistress” and constant boosting of games especially through the medium of tickets. It seems to be one of the rules of life that the more tightly we try to hold what we want, the faster it crumbles within our grasp.

One hundred sixty-five THE ACTIVITIES D. C. In. S. TIRACIK We are sure that the many students, as well as outsiders who take an interest in track, must feel that it has not been given a fair place in the school records such as this book. In as much as the Zenith goes to press before any of the track results are tangible, we feel that the Zenith, which is the only permanent record, should each year take up the preceeding years track and give it deserved consideration and rec- ognization. You Will notice in preceding Zeniths that there are no records of the teams which so ably represented Central in track. The merereason that its activities come at an inconvenient time to be written up and recorded in the Zenith for that year, is a poor excuse for its being omitted entirely from the Zenith. We trust that the following Zeniths will follow our precedence as we feel it is only fair and right to those who represent our school. The 1920 track team is captained by Harry Burns, who was high individual tor the conference for Central last season. There are several track men at Central this year whom we have seen in action. Besides those named these are O’Neil and W atts. We expect a victorious season and wish our team the best of luck. DONALDSON ANNAND Denfeld Meet Denfeld failed to place a single first. There were four school records broken as follows: 880 yards—Harry Burns 2:082 Mile—Reuben Shemick 4:43 Running Broad Jump—S. Buckman, 20 feet 4 inches. Discus Throw—Robt. Whitten 101 feet. State Meet Central entered the state meet in competition with forty schools. Our team was said to be the best balanced track team ever entered in a state meet. We took three first places as follows: Shot put—J. O’Neil, 39 feet, 8} inches. Half mile—H. Burns, 2:102 Relay—Karon, Buckman, Burns, Finkelstein. Those winning medals were as follows: J. O'Neill, 1 gold; H. Burns, lgold, one silver; M. Finkelstein, 1 bronze; R. Whitten, 1 silver; 8S. Buckman, | silver, 1 bronze; W. Nisius, 3 bronze. Northfield High won first place with 345 points. Duluth Central was second with 34 points. We lost on the disqualification of a runner. You may build castle in the air, but just to prove your worth, They’ll come around and make you pay the taxes here on earth. One hundred sixty-six THE ACTIVITIES Superior Meet The Superior meet being held on a rainy day, there were no records broken. We beat Superior with a good score, 593 to 843, and that is glory enough. For Central, Buckman, Burns, and Finkelstein starred. lead of Lakes Comferemce Meet Duluth Central showed up fine in the Conference Meet, taking six first places. The Conference half mile record was broken by Burns with time of 2 min. 32 seconds. Burns of Central was the shining light of the Conference Meet. He won the conference cup for highest individual scorer with 12 points to his credit. Con- ferenc medals were presented to: Burns, 2 gold; O’ Neill, 1 gold; Finklestein, 1 gold; Buckman, | gold; Karon, 1 silver; Whitten, 1 silver; Nisius, 1 silver. The schools entered and their scores were: Duluth Central 53; Denfeld 34; Sup- erior 24; Ashland 21. Some of the season’s results were: Cups awarded to State Champion half mile relay team, Karon, Buckman, Burns and M. Finkelstein. J. O'Neill was undefeated in the shot put all season. Harry Burns was unde- feated in the half mile and the 440 yard dash for the season. For Central, Burns was highest individual scorer, with 48 points, Sidney Buchman second. Con- sidering all, the Track Team of 19 was the fastest and the best balanced team ever produced by Central. CENTRAL TRACK RECORDS 100 yard dash 10 flat__._A.

One hundred sixty-nine oped THE ACTIVITIES ID). C, Jal. S. SW IIMIMUING In the last few years, swimming at Central has grown greatly in popularity and interest. Central has turned out some fine swimmers, many leading their class. In fact, Central has turned out both champions and championship teams. On December 12-15 of last year, our team took all honors at the State Meet held at Minneapolis. We defeated our nearest competitor, Minneapolis West High, by some twenty points. It is not a happenstance that these boys of ours are winners. ‘They have been training steadily tor several years. It would be a difficult test to take our team and pick the stars. The whole country knows of the classy type of distance swimming Dick Bennett is capable of. Jack Ball has been winner of many unofficial meets and is “right there” with the classy diving. George Bohannon, while swimming is a newer hobby with him, must be congratulated on the way he fills his position on the team. , Lindsley Edson makes them all hustle on the dashes. Jack Gow was the “kid” who surprised everybody by his sudden rise in the swimming world. He is now a recognized “speed fish”. Taken as whole, our swimming team is a clean-cut, classy bunch of athletes, Fh ee : ip and this is ‘straight dope.” Watch them go. The loss of his job is apt to puncture a man’s vanity and let alot of egotism run out. One hundred seventy THE ACTIVITIES AMERICAN CHAMPION JUNIOR DOUBLE ip “RED” HOWARD “VAC” ERICKSON we know.

ROWING To mention rowing to a Duluthian brings thoughts of men at road work in early spring; many newspaper articles concerning the progress of the crews; the boys’ debut to the water; the Aerial Bridge crowded morning and evening; the bay spot- ted with many sleek, pointed shells; and then a big regatta; and with it, another big, glorious victory for Duluth and its boys. Well, what has all this got to do with Central? Many of these boys who bring this glory to Duluth are boys from our own Central. Inasmuch as this sport takes in so many participants, it would be difficult to give each one the credit he deserves, individually, but, we take this opportunity to express to these boys our sincerest interest and grateful appreciation for for all of the work, the privations, the aches and pains that are their contribution toward these successes. It.is a rugged, grinding, but must democratic sport as it takes plenty of hard work and the complete cooperation of all the men. The secret of success lies in doing well what you can do and cutting out what you cannot do, One hundred seventy-two THE ACTIVTIES Vv. LiGmen ‘sa D. C. H.

It seems a mistake if the girls of our school intend to drop athletes for other things, because there is no dodging the fact that the girls of today need these athletics more so than do the boys. It is not expected that the girls should enter all branches of athletics but still there are many branches open to them. We cannot say that the girls have been lacking in “pep” and enthusiasm be- cause they have supported the athletics of Central for 719-20 in grand style. They turned out in big numbers tor all of the football games and packed the galleries to witness the basketball contests. We are sure that the girls themselves upon thinking this over will agree with me that the girl’s athletics should be developed to a greater extent rather than dropped, although it is too late this year, we hope that the girls of following years will revive this needed activity.

On Thursday and Friday evenings, December 18 and 19, 1919, a Christmas Festival was given by the students of High School under the auspices of the 1920 Zenith Board, and the direction of a few of the members of the faculty. The performance was opened by a grand processional which included all who took part in the Festival. The scene of the programme was laid in the modern home of a New York gentleman, who entertained a party of his friends in the old English manner. The first part of the performance was the dramatization of some of the old carols by a company of minstrels. This was followed by a revival of old English customs in which all took part, such as the bringing in ot the Yule log, the passing of the snapdragon, the wassail bowl, and dances. After this, Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” was dramatized. The whole pageant had a very general appeal because of its variety. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Gemmel and Miss Taylor. by whom the festival was made possible, and to Miss Southworth for her excellent work in con- nection with Dickens’ “Christmas Carol”. Credit is also due Miss Stoughton who supervised the very attractive dances that were presented by the guests, the vil- lagers and the Fezziwigs; and last, but not least, to Miss Shute,who directed all the music of the evening. The 1920 Zenith Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank the coaches for their untiring interest in the festival. Fer the financial success of the affair credit is due to Raymond Bartholdi, bus- iness manager, John Bennett and George Dworshak, publicity agents. The pageant was not only a financial, but also a dramatic success. It is the un- iversal opinion that the festival was the best performance Central has offered the public for some time. Those who took part fn the festival: Lord of Misrule, Kendall McClure; Lady of Misrule, Helen Meining; Guests: Grace LaLonde, Marion Bailey, Ula Dow, Rob- ert Barnes, George Dworshak, William McMillan; Minstrels: King Wenceslas, Donaldson Annand; Page, Willis Peer; Narrators: Clifford Melander, Bruce Scott, Malcolm Mektnight; Poor man, Malcolm Dunlop; Three Kings: Malcolm Me- Knight, Arnold Putman, Reginald Cowen; Waits: Mildred Sambers, Eliza- beth Eby, Dorthy Huse, Katherine Hall, Lucille Thompson, Katherine Kalten- bach, Edel Sodahl, Margaret Miller, Marie McGreevy, Clifford Melander, Windrum Walker, Theodore Setterquist, Maleolm McKnight, Orville Morton, Godfrey Har- top, William Baumgarten, Donaldson Annand, Arnold Putman, Wilbur Hadden Reginald Cowen, Murry Fowler, Bruce Scott, William Hearding, John Frazee; Village ers: Virginia Hearding, Dorthy Bush, Irene O’Brien, Grace McDonald, Isabelle Hicken, Katherine MacDonald, Helen Stilson, Dorothy Fee, Maurice Hart,William Alexander, Herman Griffith, Norman Nelson, John McCarter, Raymond Bartholdi, Brewer Mattocks and Windrum Walker.

This year the members of the Senior class presented “The Galloper’’ on the evenings of April 23 and 24. The play, a very humorous and clever one, was written by Richard Harding Davis, and admirably produced by the members of the cast under the very abie direction of Miss Gemmel. It is universally believed that this is the best class play ever presented by a graduating class at Central High School. The excellent acting and cooperation of the cast won the good-will of the audience and everyone present thoroughly enjoy- ed the evening. During the intermissions the High School orchestra, under the di- rection of Miss Shute, added to the pleasure of the entertainment by playing sever- al delightful selections.

Raymond Bartholdi, as business manager, and George Dworshak, as publicity manager, and their corps of workers did their part in a splendid way. The senior class wishes to take this opportunity to extend to Miss Gemmel a vote of thanks for her untiring interest in the play, for we feel that the success is largely due to her splendid coaching. The success is also due to the faithful assist- ance of Miss Taylor, to whom, also. as our class Advisor, we extend our hearty thanks.

Not only was the play the greatest finan- cial success of any given in years, but from a dramatic standpoint it was also adjudg- ed the best of its kind to be staged at the school. The members of theclass are sure that much of this success was due to the way Miss Harriet Gemmel coached the members of the cast, and the way Miss Margaret Taylor, faculty advisor, helped with the business management. This opportunity is therefore taken to express the deep gratitude of the class to these two big boosters. We like to have people answer our questions but not question our answers, One hundred eighty THE ACTIVITIES The 1920 Debating Season Triangular Debates On March 5, 1920, our affirmative team, consisting of Grace MacDonald, Cedric Jamieson, and Harry Levine met the Denfeld Negative on our “floor”. Our team’s constructive arguments and rebuttal baflled their opponents, and won by a two-to-one decision. At the same time our Negative debators, Percy Ging, Ida Kaplan, and Herman Griffith, met the Superior Central Affirmative at Superior. The debate was one of the best ever heard across the bay as both teams were pretty evenly matched. However, we had to submit to a two-to-one decision. Superior also won against Denfenld and so took the Josephs Cup across the bay to keep for one year. It lies with Central to “come back”, and we feel sure that Central will respond. Cloquet and Twin City Debates We did not enter the State League Contests this year, but we succeeded in arranging a debate with the stong Clouquet Affirmative Team. Our Negative met them in our auditorium, and in one of the best debates ever heard in this school, we were forced to bow to Clouquet and congratulate them as victors. We also succeeded in arranging a joint debate with North High School of Minneapolis. Our Affirmative team went down there and although they did their best, they were defeated on atwo-to-one decision by three fair damsels of that school, and again it was “Dux Femina Facti”. In the return debate at home, our Negative team “turned the tables” and de- feated the Minneapolis North High Aftimative by a decision of two-to-one. This debate was witnessed by a record crowd, and was a fitting climax to the debating season. AAA A WORD FOR OUR COACHIES The debating season would not be complete if some thanks were not offered by the whole school to Miss White, and Miss Gray, who as our coaches, bore the brunt of all the work; and to Miss Gemmel and Miss Southworth for their interest and assistance. We must not forget Harold Campbell also, who, as business manager of the debating association, did a great deal toward putting the debating associa- tion on a strong financial basis. Nor must we forget Anna Banks work as substi- tute. We trust that debating will continue with increased ardor an enthusisam. . . . . se - . . Like football, it is a ‘game’ and should receive the whole-hearted support we give our athletic contests. Farmer Mattocks says that what they say about the failure of the potato crop is mostly rot, One hundred eighty-two THE ACTIVITIES One hundred eighty-three THE ACTIVITIES Oratory and Declamation This year the interest in oratory and declamation has greatly increased, due to the fact that two beautiful trophies are offered. They are the Southworth Cup and the Wranglers’ Cup. The former will be contested for by Central, Denfeld and Cathedral High; while the latter is to be contested for by Duluth Central, Denfield, Superior Central and Nelson Dewey. These contests are to be held annually for a number of years; each school to be represented by one boy and one girl. The results of the tryouts this year wereas follows: declamatory—Sylvia Josephs, 1st, Myrtle Benson, 2nd, Gloria Bursh and Elizabeth Reinertson, tied for 8rd; ora- tory—Harold Campbell and Herman Aune, tied for first, George Dworshak, 2nd, Harry Levine, 3rd. The first two named in each class will act as the school’s representatives, while the others will act as alternatives. With Miss Southwouth as coach, our prospects are very bright, and we are hoping to place Central’s name on both in the initial contests. The promising young man is still in great demand among his creditors. One hundred eighty-four n eI a = — — ) c an) = THE ACTIVITIES The Zenith of Reconstruction For the past few years the annuals published by Senior classes have had added significance. Such names as the “Zenith of Democracy”, and the “Zenith of Victory” have meant a great deal to the students of Central High School. The first slogan signified our entrance into the greatest conflict in the history of man, a conflict to test whether Democracy or Autocracy should perish from the earth. The second motto signified that the world has been made safe for democracy. This year, we decided to call our annual the “Zenith of Reconstruction”. The great conflict is over, and everybody is turning his attention to the great work of Reconstruction. Nations must be rebuilt, and we, in our humble way, are endeay- oring to do our bit in this noble work, as our Zenith, which is the outgrowth of our ideals, signifies. Needless to say, we encountered many grave difficulties due to the increased cost of all materials. At first, we did not think we could put out the Zenith at one dollar, but after figuring a great deal, we felt that with the aid of Mr. Rankin, it could be done, ‘Then the board set to work. Never was the editor or busi- ness manager beset by graver problems, but thanks to the aid of the students, and our adviser, Miss Taylor, we were able to overcome all these difficulties. Enough thanks can not be given to Mr. Rankin, who helped us greatly in printing the book. We are also very thankful to Miss Hazeltine, who helped with the drawings, and to Mr. Young, Miss Taylor, Miss Southworth, Miss Gemmel, Mr. Phillips, Miss Case and Miss White. It was only with the aid and suggestions of these people that the Zenith Board was able to make this truly the “Zenith of Re- construction.” The members of the 1920 Zenith Board are: George Dworshak . . : : : P Editor Raymond Bartholdi : 4 ; : Business Manager John Bennett : : : : ; : Associate Editor Virginia Hearding : ; : : .

One hundred eighty-six THE ACTIVITIES = o vo wa t a to o so] o ial us) = s a) o S o) THE ACTIVITIES The Spectator of 1919-20 The publication of the Spectator is one of the very biggest events in our school life. It is a monthly and reaches the student body in a personal and inti- mate manner. The Spectator is not a publication of any particular class—it is the publication of every student in the High School, and should be supported by them The Spectator Staff consists of members of all classes and contributions to it are given by students of all classes. This year, although the high cost of paper and materials pr esented increased difficulties for publication, the staff worked with a zeal never surpassed. The quality of the magazine was nevér lowered, but became better each month. A new section, “The Student’s Pulse” was established and aroused great in- terest among the students. In this section, the students are permitted to hand in suggestions, complaints or praise on high school problems. This is the first time it has ever been tried in this school, and we hope it will be continued next fall. From the beginning of the year the Spectator Staff has been doing its best to make this year’s a bigger and better publication. The subscription for the Spectator has exceeded by far any precedent. About eight hundred subscriptions were filed. This put the Spectator on a firm financial footing, thus enabling the staff to put out such a splendid magazine. The success of the Spectator is due in a large measure to the concientious work of Miss Mortland, the faculty advisor, and also Miss Ross and Miss Richards, of the Contributors’ Club. Much credit is due to Mr. Rankin, who has patiently worked with us and faced the difficulties of our amateur journalists. He spent many hours in the printing department to see that the Spectator came out on time, and enabled us to give this publication to the students at such a low subscription price. The staff has done its best to make the Spectator the representative organ of the school, and we feel certain that they have succeeded even better than they had hoped to. We hope that the staff of next year’s Spectator will take up the work that this year’s staff has undertaken, and will make their publication even bigger and better.

Back in twelve days,’’ called back our party of campers, as our train pulled out,—our tr ain, indeed, for did it not carry in its spacious baggage car our grub for this canoe-trip! Oh yes, it was a canoe-trip up along the Canadian border, and moreover, who was its instigator, sponsor, and chaperone but Tilden F. Phillips, better known to the uncivilized denizens of a canoe as Chal ec Na Contrary to expectations, the train pulled in—or pulled us in, to be more exact—to the last ‘‘outpost of civilizaition in that vast and expansive sea of desolation’’ where we were going canoeing. We piled out glad that we were soon to have the opportunity to give visual proof of our paddling prowess. There were five of us and the two canoes were divided equally among us, Phil counting as two. Fall Lake was the first of the lakes, Pipestone next, and from that lake to Basswood, ) Me the way, if way there was, is over a portage across Pipestone Rapids. So much for the lay of the land—or water, we should say. For the benefit of ‘those who in blissful ig- norance do not know just what a portage is, it shall be my purpose to smother my feel- ings enough to give an intelligent and intelligible answer. A portage is that place Where there is no such thing as a footpath; where every swamp gets in one’s way; across which every tree that ever fell in the vicinity has fallen; and where five people, all God-fearing souls, are expected to carry two canoes, infinite baggage, and foot-sore hearts (I speak advisedly) without rest and without cessa- tion! Words cannot convey the pain, suffering, grief and despair of this mode of progress, this inter-ocean drayage; nor may man hope to set forth the infinite relief that comes when the two hundred ton ‘‘scows’’ float by the side of a lake- shore camp-fire! By four-th irty we had crossed such a laby- rinth and were camping on the shore of a little island in Lake Basswood. Mr. Phillips, acting chef, supervised the stewards in the act of preparing their ‘‘rations’’ for even in the wilderness one must One hundred ninety-two THE ACTIVITIES eat. This is an inconvenient habit, but many have found it necessary, ourselves among them. Three of us set up tents. They are called pup-tents because they have to be kept on a chain to prevent the wind blowing them away. The tents are up now and we are eating supper. The curtain falls upon this pretty woodland tableau. More night; vice versa—more day! The next morning, contrary to expectations and prayers, we awoke and proceeded to turn a canoe-trip into a scientific study of the art of the portage. Being more interested in research work than the rest of us, Mr. Phillips performed an experiment demonstrat- ing the ‘‘Descent of Man.’’ He fell into a swamp and a fit of despondency but was restored ‘by appropriate applications in the line of least resistance! By noon there was a great deal of fast air which soon became a gale. It started to blow up the lake and succeeded in mooring our flotilla upon the ‘‘sandy marge of the ruffled tarn.’’ We rested from our labors; ate, as per usual, slept and awoke all according to routine and schedule. We left early in the morning and first thing out, we came across a stray breeze. But we were safe in a sheltered arm of water and paddled along briskly. We crossed several lakes that morning, making our lunch .on Heinz’s on the way. We looked for more trouble by means of a portage to ‘‘That Man’s Lake’’ which is better known as ‘‘Hell Gate, No. 1.’’ We camped for a day in ‘‘Hell’s Gate.’’ Weather was fair but warmer with the fish biting nicely. That evening, while we were fishing, we saw a moose The ““Bunch’’ standing on the shore but we had left all our moose bait in the camp. Later on we saw two more moose taking a nocturnal bath in the lily-pads. IT had heard of a lake’s soundings before but jthis was my first experience. The bull- frogs boomed; the mosquitos sounded, and the ‘‘Caty-did the rest’?! We put in a hard night’s sleep and the next morning paddled thru ‘‘No Man’s,’’ ‘‘ This Man’s,’’ and ‘‘The Other Man’s’’ lakes—three highly unromantie spots. In fact the only thing we saw was a loon and jthat dove as soon as it caught sight of us. To show you how little things affect one in the wilds, we were all homesick at this sight! Up in that country, almost every rivulet is dignified by the name of lake. It is quite the proper thing to say, ‘‘Oh, yes, I ran across a lake while I was out this morning.’?’ However, the next passage we came to was ‘‘Hell’s Gate, No. 2,’’ three-quarters of a mile long, ending in a swamp and ten inches of commingled water and slime, and living up to its propitious name. There is Truth in the Wilderness! We reached Slate Lake in a mud-encrusted condition and recuperated for a day. W made more lakes, ‘‘Sagonagonse,’’ ‘‘Lily Pod,’’ and ‘‘Jasper,’’ the next morning. We made a lunch on the hill-side and our decreasing ‘‘vittles’’? and prepared for ‘‘Hell’s An optimist is a cross-eyed man who is thankful that he isn’t bow-legged. One hundred ninety-three THE ACTIVITIES Gate, No. 3.’’ This is a portage over a height of land, and with it, we had enough of ‘‘Hell’s Gates, 1, 2, and 3,’’ to content us till we die. That afternoon is summed up as follows: Portage and much of it! We left a piece of our minds and a bit of temper on each portage to blaze a trail which is probably still blazing! The next day, following close on the heels of the one before, brought more romance and a moose. Gil made the moose’s acquaintane four feet away much to their mutual surprise. Due to pressing engagements, Gil was unable to get a picture, for as the saying goes, ‘‘Long distance makes the heart grow fonder!’’ Three days later we came by a circuitous path jto our first camp. Mr. Phillips retired early, contrary to custom. At eight-thirty he was awakened and told it was morning. Now we had borrowed his glasses, and due to near sightedness, he couldn’t see the sun or moon, so he started to dress. In sheer pity, we told him of his error and gave him a lecture on optics. And ‘‘ Darkness was on the face of tthe deep.’’ Next morning we ‘‘oarsmen rowed’’ through Lakes Basswood, Pipestone and Fall; and where we had first taken to water, we now took to ‘‘drink,’’ taking the ‘‘High Ball’’ to Duluth! Disembarkation and demobilization followed, and with best wishes and ‘‘all the hope of fulture years’? we parted. Requiescamus! A PINE TREE That solitary pine tree stands A monument to fallen dead. When storms and fires swept these lanus He only higher raised his head. You see that charred and blackened ‘trunk, You see those scars, and many more. Which testify, like some old monk, To many wrongs both deep and sore. Here stands that solitary pine, And |though its brothers fell and died, It still stands as straight as in past time Before these woes did come to chide. And so should we, when sorrows come, Still stand as straight, still stand as tall As did this pine, and not like some Who ean resist but fall. —Arnold Berg, ’22. THE LIGHTHOUSE The lighthouse sent its beam across {the sea, The lighthouse sent its beam across to me; The waves were high; the night was cold and drear; My hope had gone, the light sent hope and cheer, The light that you can send to some sick soul, Will bring it peace and joy, and will console. —Arnold Berg, ’22.

By Ruth Williamson We always called him the ‘‘Old Hermit.’’ On our way to Pike Lake about five years ago, we first noticed him, walking slowly along the road. He was a stooped old man, using a cane and always followed by at least one dog. He wore an old pair of black trousers and a brown coat so old that there was no shape left in it. His shoes looked as though pieces of brown leather had been tied to his feet. It was impossible to distin- guish the soles from the upper parts. His cap, its color unrecognizable, was pulled on tightly and always had the appearance of being stuffed. One day we discovered that his reddish brown, kinky hair was drawn up tight from his neck and hidden under his cap. Then we knew what his cap was stuffed with. His gaunt cheeks were covered with transparent skin; and his eyes were of a pale, washed out blue, very small, and sunk deep into their sockets. They gazed on the world as if it held no interest for him. His nose was large and his mouth was entirely covered by his reddish brown mustache. His beard was the most remarkable feature about him. It hung down more than a foot from his chin in a matted mess of red-brown kinky hair. It fascinated one. He never looked around when the car aproached him. T do not believe he took the slighest interest in the outside world. For a long (time we wondered where he was going to. Then one day we found out. We had picked him up, and he showed us where to let him off. He lived in a tiny cabin at the back of a cleared spot, just around a bend of the road. The cleared spot was about one hundred feet long,and extended perhaps fifty feet in from the road. It was partly cultivated, and that which was not was covered by grass and stumps. Spruces, pines and birch trees bordered the field, and among them, at the very back, was a tiny cabin. Its front was not more than seven feet and its sides not over ten. In the front was a door which we learned always stood open, except when he was not living there, and which. on the left side was hardly visible from the road. The cabin was built of unpeeled logs, laid one on top of another, and the roof, of boards turned gray with age, slanted toward both sides. Near the back of the roof a pipe arose, which served as a chimney, from which smoke was usually curling. When the door was closed and no smoke could be seen, we felt sorry and somehow rather lonely, for we never knew whether this time the Hermit would come back. Often when he was walking along, followed by his dogs, he would be carrying a jug. One day we learned that he got his water from a house about a quarter of a mile from his cabin. During the summer we noticed him, once or twice, with some young girls. He never seemed to be talking with them, however, and always walked a little behind. This greatly excited our curiosity. One day, about four summers ago, we had the opportunity of finding out more about him than we had ever hoped to. We were staying at our cottage at Pike Lake. Suddenly I heard a man’s voice calling, at the back porch. I could not understand what it was saying, as it had such a thick, guttural tone. My mother, brother, and I went out, and Woman needs no eulogy—she speaks for herself. One hundred ninety-five THE ACTIVITIES there was the ‘‘Old Hermit’?! With him was a small, shaggy mongrel; in both hands he held pails of raspberries, and more were in a sack tied to his back. ‘‘D’you wan’ ras-berr’s?’’ he asked, the sound seeming to come from some place far down in his beard. My mother asked to see them, and I think we were all rather surprised to see how cleanly they were packed. The pails were lined with green leaves, and green leaves also had been placed over the berries. My mother went in to get her purse, and my brother and I were left alone with him. I was horribly frightened! Here was a man such as I had often read about, but had never been near. I took occasion to look him over more closely. His face was rather blank and his skin more transparent than ever, although covered with dirt. His dog would not budge an inch from his side. When my mother came out, she asked him where he got the berries, whether he often picked them, where he got so many dogs, and other questions, to make him talk. He answered in the same thick tone and with very broken English. He said he lived all alone, but his nieces (probably the girls we had seen with him) once in a while spent a day with him. His little dogs liked raspberry shortcake and he often made it for them, although he did not like it very well himself. My mother told him to come again when he had some more berries to sell, but he never did, or at least never when we were there. Three springs ago, we noticed he was taking out all the stumps in the field. He planted potatoes and corn. It was the largest garden he had ever had, and his corn was of the best of any farm around there. He probably needed some money, and planned to sell his crops. The. frost came early that year. A certain warm day was followed by an unexpected cold night. The next morning we passed his place; the corn leaves were black and hung down as if ashamed to be frozen, and the potato leaves were black and limp. A little farther on, we passed him, plodding along with his water jug, a little more stooped than usual. However, the next day he was at work again, clearing the field, getting ready for the next spring. Two summers-ago, he cut down the trees for a little way behind his cabin. Sioon we saw logs extending out from the walls, and meeting other upright ones. Then we knew he was building an addition. He worked all summer long on it, and had it almost com- pleted by November, ready to live in for the winter. Then came the fire. We were at Pike Lake, and came into town early in the after- noon. When we passed his place, I could barely see his cabin through the smoke, but I noticed a spot darker {than the rest, and knew it was his open doorway, and that he was there, alone. All during that night I could not forget him. Had he tried to get to town and been overcome? Had someone taken him in an automobile, or had he been passed by? Had his cabin been burned after he had worked so hard on it, all the summer? Was he in it, and had he been burned, too, all alone, there? The next day, we went out to Pike Lake. Although I had heard that the fire skipped some places, there seemed to be very few places on that road that it had skipped. Both sides were a charred, smoking mass. We came to the house where the Hermit used to get his waker. It had been burned to the ground. We approached the curve in the road, around which he lived. The trees were all burned here. I felt sure that if the trees next to his field had caught fire, noth- ing could save him except a miracle as his cabin was in ithe midst of them. We rounded the curve. My heart sank! Every one of the trees about his field was burned, and the smoke was pouring from the ground. But what did I see through the smoke? His cabin! There it stood, small and peaceful, with its door open, and in the field, to whose every edge the fire had crept, but which had been left untouched, was the ‘‘Old Hermits? 7s lt the fire had not left so many other places untouched, in the same. strange way, I should have said it was a miracle that had saved him.

SUN HAS PICTURE TAKEN: CELEBRATES Several Relatives Present at First Birth- day Festivities. Among those present, as may be seen in the accompanying photogravure, were his granddaughters, Misses Nep- tune and Saturn, also his two nieces, Misses Earth and Venus, together with his cousins, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus., Mr. Sun is our well known leading citi- zen and the bright light of our little town. We take this opportunity of pub- lishing a short eulogy of his several vir- tues. He was born several days B. A. (before Adam), and is still enjoying life at the old spot. He has a fiery nature, but his attractive ways make him able to preserve perfect harmony about him. He has many admirers who deem him the greatest man Starville ever pro- duced. He is a warm supporter of all progressive measures. He was one of the first to advocate the Central Heat- ing plant and he himself put up the money to hire an efficient fireman. As a result we have Mr. Satan serving in this capacity, a tried and experienced ensineer, who always supplies a warm reception. We hope that Mr. Sun may have a.long life, and that this is the wish of all is manifested by the general sup- port of all Starville. BOLSHEVIC UPRISING. There has been an uprising of the poles. They refused to remain in the earth any longer. They are really quite stuck up. They say the world is rot- ten to the core, but state that they are OWE e Ol ait. Their arguments are very pithy, of course. The Evening Glow- worm suggests that the other planets assist in pounding them down till they are shown their place. We would ad- vise our opponents to use their heads. They must think these are bean poles. The doctrine of universal squareness has been flatly upset by another level thinker of the middle class, who gives, as an all around opinion, that it is de- cidedly crooked, It is plain to be seen that a new field for level heads’ investiyation has been . opened. We believe the squareheads too radical, PROFESSOR NOAH WEBSTER SPEAKS Gives Personal Views On the Zenith Upon being questioned by our repre- sentative, Noa h Webster, who has long played a stellar role in the courts of Starville, avers that the Zenith is a point in the Heavens directly over the head of the Spectator. He says there is no doubt about this, for the Spectator looks up to the Zenith and the Zenith looks down on the Spectator. He goes on to prove his statement by pointing out that the Gods always subscribe annually to the Zenith, whereas the Spec is accus- tomed to grace either Dental or Ton- sorial parlors. We believe this evidence to be conclusive. GREAT CONSTERNATION. Women have been admitted with full and equal rights to Heaven. They have already started revolving. The males were afraid they would start a revolu- tion instead. The ladies have many fol- lowers (we prefer the Latin) called Lunatics, a species of moony individual. We can’t help wondering how they witl vote on the Martian Assembly. We are afraid if it comes to a-question of war, they will sit in tiers, as usual. Of course, they have noticed Mr. Sun’s attractive ways and we don’t doubt that he’ll bring them around in due time. Miss Saturn is. very dependent upon servants, how- ever, aS she rings all the time. WEDDING TAK ES PLACE. Cee oa - . A wedding was held in Heaven re- cently. Rev. Jupiter, D.D., officiated. The bride wore a white robe of gleam- ing sunshine and carried a bouquet of climbing roses. Her seven sisters were present. The bride and groom left on the Hyperbolean Express, and will make their home at Llii? Mast Trilionth St: They will be at home to their friends on April 1 17853. This.is the first mar- riage that has been made in Heaven for some time. A comet lately turned up in the orphan asylum which told a funny tale about having lost its head.

Prof. Felix Fake At last I have the jproof of their evolution in my hands. Man is a species of monkey. Behold, ladies, the missing link, the long-sought dream of all naturalists. It is monkey in his nearest approach to man. We believe it to be the only anthropoid ape extant and as such its value is beyond comprehension. It was caught in the jungle of Lester Park dangling from a huge icicle. This proves there is at least one wheel in his brain and we are sure he has a cool disposition. But realizing that you cannot see its natural resemblance in an isolated position we have inserted pictures of other species of the lower monkey race. Oibserve No. 2. This is the monkey proper in the lowest phase of his existence. He has few cares, his main thoughts -being confined to carrying water and chasing footballs. His only mode of utterance is bawls. Going one step up the ladder of civilization we come to No. 3, the howling monkey of North America. He sits on a tree all night long. Some think he howls because he fears the darkness, some because he has nothing else to do, but the practical answer is that he has solved the coal problem. This is shown by his habit of scuttling when anything makes him pale. You will next observe No. 4. This, ladies, is the baboon that sat in the light of the moon combing his auburn hair. He is a wise old monk and is seldom seen in captivity. Nevertheless he has a captivating manner. His prncipal food is mush, but there isn’t much in the jungle. Now glance at No. 5. This is the gibbon. He is very small and has vicious ways. He resents confinement, but he is beginning to get used to it. He seldom stays long in one place but he stays longest in the office. You will now note No. 6. This is the orang-outang. At times he seems almost human. He is so called because of his continual haranguing. He will sit and gibber away for hours to himself. Some naturalists assert his noise expresses thought. There may be some grounds for deeming that they show a little thought. However, we absolutely deny that they can be proved sensible. He is averse to the fraternal monkey clans and lives peacefully in seclusion. The habits of No. 7 are especially captivating. They tell a tale about his fuzzy red wooly crest but we deny this, clinging as usual to bald facts. He is very timid. With considerable training he might be taught to make himself somewhat useful. Next, and last, we have the gorilla. He is the strongest of the monkey clans. His brai n likewise is the nearest in cubical volume to man’s, ibeing 23 cubic inches. It seems a shame that all this potential wisdom should be wasted in this manner. It cannot be denied, however, that he has very drawing ways. While we are unable to comprehend his chatter, it is generally admitted it expresses very simple ideas. He is very rare and is seldom captured alive and then only by using a vamp for bait.

Now let us return to the Missing Link. You will agree in beauty if in nothing else he far excels all other monks. He is a fair specimen. Observe his breadth of forehead and the pronounced character in his olefactory organs. Note the chestnut hue of his eyes, reflecting as it were the subconscious man. ’Tis indeed sublime to contemplate the wonderful workings of Nature. Just think of the unlimited heights to which man, descended from monkey, can re-ascend to. O, thought sublime, mirab'e dictu. Supreme sanctuary of society. (Thus closes the manuscript, which we believe to be the first authentic proof of the Darwinian theory.) (Copyrighted by the Zenith of 1920.) What's Ailing You? The following instructions have been carefully prepared by the eminent medical authority, Doctor Howitt Tickles Fee: Stage Fright. If the patient is unconscious, hang him face up over a convenient fence. See if he is breathing through his ears. Take off his shoes and throw them away. If he is still unconscious go through his pockets, this will bring him to. Paralysis. Search patient for bottle and test quality of contents. If bottle is empty hold to ear and listen for death rattle. Rub patient’s back, beginning at the front, and vice versa. Ask him where he got it, writing reply on back of your collar. Pull out patient’s tongue a few inches, letting it fly back. Continue this operation until the doctor comes. Toothache. Wrap blanket around tooth and secure with rubber cement to roof of mouth. Lay your ears to soles of patient’s feet and see if you can detect heart beats. If his pump is working ask him to count up to ten slowly, holding his breath. A fly paper poultice in back of knees will help in severe cases. Homesickness. If patient is unconscious wind his watch, returning it carefully to your pocket. See if there are indications of rust marks on back teeth. When patient is able to take nouirshment feed him a bit of goulash through a straw. Freezing. Hang up patient by his heels, telling him to stand ‘at ease.’ with tomato sauce and open damper half way. If patient is still cold it may be neces- ’ Rub frozen parts sary to prime ‘him.

Two hundred twenty-four THE FEATURES Im the Daze of Yore When knighthood was in flower, A pretty one, indeed; There were many bees about her For she made a pretty feed. And many a knight, the poets say, Had right good cause to rue the day When, praising knighthood, trilled his tongue Then eftsoons bees the poor boy stung. Our hero had been beating time all morning, but at last his task was completed. Heaving a heavy sigh, he hung up his beater and prepared to go forth. The father, as he bestowed the paternal armor upon the lad, remarked: ‘‘Verily, I shall make a knight of it.” The youth’s lofty belfry was surmounted by a night-hood from under which fell in fragmentary sprays his golden padlocks. The fellows called him Mama’s knight, but the girls thought he was Willys Knight. When he was equipped for the chase, he made a truly imposing figure. His trusty whiskbroom hung at his side whence he could whisk it at a moment’s notice. Reposing in its solid ivory scabbard lay his keen toothbrush of Damascus-cat’s fur. With his doughty broom, of the finest hay wire, couched under his elbow, he might well captivate any queen. But when he was astride his valiant palfrey the Knight of the Razorback was invincible. Forsooth he was a fiery blade. And thus arrayed it was that he went forth to charm the fair Dame Miranda. He dismounted before the portals of her paternal mansion and blew three sturdy banknotes upon his crazy-bone, and with the elbow grease thus obtained, he smote the plate glass shield that hung without. in answer to the summons came her father, a tried Knight and true. ‘‘What, hoe?” cried he. “Sire,” replied the younger Knight, “I am not economical with the truth. I did not do it with a hoe, but with my whiskbroom!”’ “What wouldst thou?’’ quoth her father. “Main would I have thy daughter’s hand, kind sir!” “Her hand? What, mistakest thou me for a butcher? Beware, rash youth.’ “Nay, Say not so. I have no rash. But either I enter or there shall be mighty feet of arms. Now, hold thee, catiff Knight!” and so saying, our hero strode in, brushing her father aside, his left side, with his whiskbroom. “Miranda, do thou follow me!” reverberated through the halls. ‘“Aye, do!’’ she replied silently. “Then follow me!’ said he, as he pushed her before him. As the pair were pasisng away, the father summoned all his strength to d-spute their pass-age. “Put my daughter aside, young man, or I shall dissipate thee!’”’ he enunciated. “T commit daughter-a-side, if thou wilt put the blame upon thy bald hairs.” And the pair swept by on his trusty broom. “Verily, what a clean sweep,’ said her father. ‘I am lost!” And as he gazed upon the new departure of the Knight of the Razorback, gum drops began to trickle from under his eyebrows and they coursed down his fur- rowed cheeks. And as every gum drop melted in his mouth he heaved a great sigh. But, the young counle was happy nevermore and the “stern’’ man died of “prow” - ess after an attack of gumption. Harry Levine’s history exam contained this delightiul information: ‘Patrick Henry said, ‘I rejoice that I have but one country to live for.’ It is agood plan to make a habit of telling the truth for if you don’t, people won't believe you when you lie.

Such a thing might possibly happen, And it’s time may be now very near; But why, why, couldn’t it happen For the Board that goes out this year! Do You Know you know any symptoms like these? you know this? Well, translate then, please. What’s Orcus? Don’t guess! Proper names don’t count—yes, I’m mixing you up—say it!” Wheeze! Do you know that the steps are’ quite hard, Especially when sprinkled with lard? Mr. Young is aware That they’re not made of air. Take a warning; be slow; don’t get marred. Do you know of a poet, friend Scott, Who has now eclipsed Byron’s fame—not! Let them lay in his hearse, His brain’s offspring, his verse, And hide it in some distant spot. Do you know of the Turkish Terror, With his harem of maidens—a score? Then give ear to his name. ’'Tis Ced Jamieson. The same! Some say he was fifty and more. Do you know Myrtle Benson? Well, say! You ought to go out of your way To meet her, for she Can declaim, bu-le-eve me! And moreover she’s charming and gay. Do you know of the club Mr. Young Did once form? Then give heed to my tongue.

She’s a peppery midget; Just once call her Bridget, Oh, Nora, Miss Olsen, don’t scold! There’s a club formed of Junior maids With a horrible name!

That helmet reminds us of one we heard at the minstrel show: Herbie Ben Son: I only wear this hat on Sundays. Herb’s Friend: Oh, I see. It’s for your weak end. The lawn dress she was wearing Was low, but modest baring; Only a glimmer fleetiny Of shoulders white. With beating Heart, I stood there staring! And then with sudden daring I kissed her, little caring, How rudely I was treating The lawn dress. And next, the light upflaring, She turned upon me glaring. My dire distress completing. Great snakes! I had been greeting— the laundress. ARMS AND THE DAME.” Oh, Marion, whenever Alice gets tired, I’ll take her place. Yea, I’m a boy. So that is the way you turn out for practice, is it? Why so serious, Borghild? 3ut I ’spose you don’t need the practice? This pic- ture was contracted on the Steppes of Russia. That’s the Ninth Bolshevik division. Don’t lean too hard on the masonry, girls. But I can’t get over what Marion is doing. She must skate well! There was a young lady named Biddle Who was fully two yards ’round the middle; A youth came to court, But his arms were so short That to hug her was truly a riddle “A TRIANGLE WITH EIGHT LEGS.” We should suggest that this is ‘‘reel’ clever and the only thing missing is the cage. Ain’t William ruff to muss Bones’ hair like that? Little does he know that Bandoline is greasy. The little doctors, however, can’t get the drift on them rubbers—. Said once an old bear at the zoo, Who was feeling exceedinsly blue, “It bores me, you know, To walk to and fro; I’ll reverse it and walk fro and to.” To know yourself is good in theory but to know your neighbor is the general Two hundred forty-six practice. ———— eS SSS SSS ee a SR cee ee | Neen.

His ora- tory is very moving, don’t you think so, Lila? William Coventry was home on his first vacation since he had attained the dignity of class president. He and his father were dis- cussing affairs of the day, and finally Bill re- marked: “Say, dad, I hope when I am as old as you are I’ll know more than you do.” “T’ll go you one better, my boy,” said his father. ‘I hope that when you are as old, you will know all that you think you know now.” SONNET TO THE ZENITH BOARD Of those whose names in gold inscribed be Upon th’enduring scroll of high-school fame Resound, oh muse, and glorify each name.

Two hundred fifty three THE FEATURES Central High School im 1940 Yes, ii is the same old high school, tho the years have o’er it flown; Let me linger in thy halls again, dear mass of rugged stone. These same hallways oft at lunch time I have wandered to and fro, Till the awful bell has told me that it was my lot to go. Here we tripped the light fantastic, often tripped and seldom light, While we swore to be good fellows on our last class party night. Here the shady vaulted columns hide my ghosts of long lost time, The teachers who have vanished to atone for years of crime. These ghosts once were realistic, but when now they throng about, I just snap’ my little finger and it puts them all to rout. Lo the stairs with use ingraven, show the generations trend; I recall the oily finish and the ways one could descend. Empty stands the long Assembly; fallen is the prelate there; But my awe still overcomes me and | tremble by the chair. Here is room 207, and the tears come nor forbear, As I recollect how C-aesar used to tear his scanty hair. Miss Gemmel lords it o’er me,—what an awful spirit she! I am sure the realm of spirits cannot be the realm for me. Yon the physics lab arises with its drear forboding ghosts; And the Zenith board re-echoes to the re-assembled hosts. Gone, quite gone, bewept and cherished,—yet beyond our fond recall; And the edifice still rises. It will soon outlive us all. THE END When a person has rheumatism if he puts his foot through a window the pane will be gone.
