We were superb freshmen, with all the dignity of high schools, all the knowledge that an army of hard-working teachers had been able to insert through our density. We were at Gridley then, and thus escaped the taunts and contempt of any superior classmen. We never learned that we were infantile and superficial, but put across a dance or two and edited the Mirror to the complete satisfaction of ourselves and teachers. We even got so far as to elect class officers. Our choice was wise, and they steered our affairs safely until the advent of Spring fever. They were sufficiently recovered, however, to aid in our Commencement program, a successful affair, and the first of its kind ever held at Cridley. l might add, by the way, that these worthy executives were Edgar Hogan, President: Virginia Howell, Vice President: Bernice Tennant, Secretary: Reed Grunden, Treasurer. Among other successful events that we carried on without donating a cent to the class treasury was the decorative and child-like practice which the girls of the class put into usc+that of wearing hair-ribbons on the nineteenth of each month. So, on the whole, the year was filled with pleasure, success, and even a little bit of learning: and we left Gridley feeling like Alexander the Great, or Tartarin of Tarascon. Then-we came to CENTRAL. We were as innocent and ambitious as a group of little country mice, and started in with a will to be the most noticeable and exceptional Sophomore class ever turned out in any school, Perhaps we were. Anyhow, we chose Tom Yates as President, Bernice Tennant as Vice President, Dorothy Sturgeon as Secre- tary, and Reed Crunden again donned the robes of Treasurer. fHe liked the job, too, as there was not much to doj. I4 15 ll flfaisii - ,gliiffiiiii lg 1 n b llmatwafm r ln our Sophomore year we gave a dance, we started our recruits in for athletics- and we learned! Oh, what a lot we learned! The girls had their hero worship fOh shades of Joe and Danlll and the boys stepped out. Once in a while we studied, and always, always we learned. So perhaps, in a way, we took the longest strides in that one year that we ever did-before or since! At last the heroes and the beauties graduated, and we came down to earth-since the reigning dynasty had become mere girls and boys that we had known since kinder- garten. We settled down, and in that year we really studied hard. Tom was again chosen President, with Charles Baurnbach, Vice-President: Helen Eberle, Secretary, and Cather- ine Hakes, Treasurer. We had loads of good times and good parties. We' shone in basketball, and found the strong, firm, footing that was to enable us to blossom out into the top-rate class that our Senior year found us. And in this last year we have proved the stuff that was in us. We started off in a pleasant social manner, with the finest, jolliest Hallowe'en party that Centra! has ever seen. Then we buckled down to football, and backed our team. We pushed them through to victory, and pulled them through from defeat, and we were proud of them. We danced over Christmas vacation, and struggled through the finals without many casualties. Then we adopted the basketball team and followed it through a straight-line, victorious season, and even when we found that victory is frightfully two-faced, we stuck and allayed our disappointment with a grin and a promise. The whole scoool had a good time at the Carnegie Musical, but the shining social event of the season was the jolly party we held on April !7. Never was a class banquet or a class play so blissfully put across as ours, so we are proud, and stuck up, and happy. Why have we been so suc- cessful? Where did we get our spirit? Why is our Spokesman so good, and what will make our commencement so fine and enjoyable? But, Juniors, we have worked hard and played hard, and done our very best in every way. We have tried to help all we could, and hinder the least we could. Nothing has been too good for us, no one too bad. With a spirit full of democracy, pep, and ambition we have travelled the high- school pathway, even to the doors of commencement: and if we sometimes worked hard and were disappointed, we can honestly say-It is worth it!

Shrimp Track Manager Q4J, Spokesman Board Q31 GL Q4J, Cheerleader Q4Q, Glee Club Q3j, Treasurer QSJ, Debating Club Q21 61 Q3l, French Club. Hail the track manager of l925l His host of friends call him Shrimp , but the title does not do justice to this little giant of the business world. A dashing figure at leading cheers, an artist at the banjo, always the chief entertainer in a crowd- Shrimp is a born leader, as he will certainly show in future years. MARION SARAH ALLEN, Sally French Club, College Club, Orchestra Most unusuall One of the first combinations of beauty and brains on record. ln school she is a marvel: or so her English teacher says, which means a great deal. Marion is one of Central's best boost- ers: she is one of a group which has made our orches- tra possible: and none root more than she does at the football games, We don't know what school she will attend next, but hope that she will take up music. ELIZABETH MIRIAM ALTERMATT, Betty Betty is a girl in a million, The accomplished sort you know, And in the art of breaking hearts She graduated long ago. There are so many nice things to say about Betty that we could never tell them all. However, the words that describe her best, we think, are: just a reg'lar pal . It is rumored that she is very fond of Hom-er. GORDON SHREVE ALTMAN, Cow-boy Trig. Cordon has worked hard while with us, and we hope that he will keep it up. He is one of our steadiest workers, and hits the mathematical line hard. Engineering seems to be his craving, and he desires to be civil . Put two and two together, and you have civil engineering. The University of De- troit has caught his eye, and he may enter that school next fall. Here's to the best of success in that field, old boy , ROBERT MINNIG ANDERSON. Oppie Swimming Q2j 5: Q4l Yes, Oppie is some fishl His plunging is the best in the city, and, not trying to be personal at all, why shouldn't it be? His is a whale of a build, which aids him to a great extent, in his aquatic suc- cess. We hope that he will get along just as swim- minglyu in whatever he takes up after leaving us, as he has while at the old school. DONALD LEWIS AVERY, Don , Mgr.

Red hair and freckles, the usual combination,- that's Charlie, Our Boy . Although not a world beater in his studies, nor a muscular pigskin hero, his pleasing personality and school spirit have made him one of the most popular fellows at the school. As a dancer, he is hailed among the best on the floor. HELEN LOUISE BALDENWICK, Lou . ln Helen we find a loving friend and a true pal. Since February we have missed the dark beauty of her cheerful face, which will be remembered for a long time to come. Her earnestness and good sports- manship haie endeared her to the,hearts of all her classmates, who will not soon forget the lady we call 'Lou' . 1 HAROLD RICHARD BAN , annie Spanish Cl Q21 rig Q4-b1. just one of t f student of average abil- ity who puts l t t s, into his work.

CHARLES HENRY BAUMBACH, Charlie Vice-president of class 131, Vice-president of Clee Club, C31 Football 141, French Club, C Club, Spokesman Board. And here we find the possessor of the heartiest and best-known laugh in the schoohiour Beau Brummel. Charlie has not only won fame on the gridiron, but also on the dance floor, being one of our most sturdy football warriors, who has had the honor of receiving the popular vote for the best dancer here. His great popularity with members of both sexes is only explainable in the fact that he has a very rare way of making friends and keeping them. He is prepared to attack Milford next year, with his shining personality, ready wit, and enter- taining cartoons.

KENNETH ADELBERT BLAKE, Ken Orchestra QU, QZQ, 6: Q4-bl. Trig. Ken is a quiet, studious fellow who does not make himself 'very conspiduous. He lhas many friends and is always ready for some real fun. He is quite fond of music, and plays the violin well. We hope that he may be successful in the work that he undertakes.

HARRY AUDL1lE.Y BRYAN, Yan rig. Although upon the surface, Harry appears to be a very serious young chap, underneath it, he is bub- bling with wit, laughter, and high spirits. He is a good student, but his studying does not keep him from having his good time. He has not taken an active part in sports, but enjoys them to the full. We wish him the best' of luck for the future.

QATHERINE VIRGINIA DALY, Rine A joke or two now and then is appreciated by the dullest of them, seems to be Cather-ine's theory, for she seems to delight in making people bite . She has made lots of friends during her three and a half years of high school-and we know she will con- tinue making m re after she leaves Central.

The characteristics which have be- come so outstanding during his high school career: ambition, industry, and straight-forwardness, will be of great benefit to him in making his college career a great success. JOHN JAMES DURHAM, Bull James has been with us for only one short year, not having seen the error of his way before. He came from Academy that he might graduate with Ber-er, with our honorable class. His scintillating locks of brilliant hue, and his ready smile, have won many friends to him. He is a star on the dance Floor, too, girls.

We are grateful to Ethel for the many kindly, unobtrusive services which she has rendered to our class. 'nfs QW: si, 1 s??2sf2.5, cbs EPHRAIM MACLAY GEARHAR , JRJ. Mac Band up er 127, Track 111,-4112, 433, ai 143, C Club 139, 1't1,iLdrchestra 141. A tall, handsome she'ik , whom any girl around the school could t ll you, is Mac. His greatest ac- complishment cdiis through his track ability, and his succe 'irif that line has been the cause of the handle ' which many of us know him1 Mac, the lalileii. lOne of his chief delights is found in givi 'complicated explanation of something which none-5 his hearers ever know anything about. ELEANOR AUSTIN GILLESPIE, Fudge Girls' Clee Club 131 Gr 141, Treasurer of Girls' Glee Club 141, French Club 141, College Club. During the four years that she has been with us, Eleanor has sung her way into our hearts. She is cheery and helpful to us in all of our activities, and we shall always remember her as a very dear friend. CARL BERTIL CUSTAVSON. Swede Glee Club 1l1 Bertil, commonly called Swede by most of his school chums, is one of Central's most loyal support- ers. He is liked by everyone because of his serious- ness and big-heartedness. We know that he will gather a wealth of friends about him, where ever y go: his Eefdy smi nd winning ways. LEMPI MARY A, Lem Lempi holds the championship for being the most composed girl in our class. Even Miss C's best bits of satire have failed to pierce her coat of tranquility. Although she has not made herself con- spicuous in class affairs, we believe that everyone has at some time, noticed and admired her. MARK JEROME HAGGERTY, Aggy Class Basketball 131 6: 141, Central Seconds 141, Trig. Class Only a slightly-built young man, but an athlete, never-the-less. He has done much to make basket- ball games among the classes, a success. His court work with the Reserves has given him a place in our memories which will not soon be erased, KATHRYN LOUISE HAKES, Kay Mirror Editor 1l1, Spokesman 131, Editor of Spokes- man 141, Council 131 6: 141, Secretary of Council 141, Class Treasurer 131, French Club, College Club, Commencement Speaker. Kathryn, humorous, fun-loving, yet free from the foolish extravagances which mark our modern butter flies . She has shown a firm belief in making the world a better place in which to live, by her loyalty and enthusiasm in all our school enterprises. Per- haps her chief virtue is sincerity, which she has manifested in work as a student, and in the multitude of friendships she has made. 24 I gwss1s.eaf cbs ,st I if cbs RUSSELL CLAIR I-IALQUIST, Russ French Club fl, Only last year Clair came to us from Rural Valley High, and has proven such a good mixer and interesting companion that we have no fears for his future success. He has chosen a worthy calling, for as long as the earth is inhabited, people will need the assistance which he will be able to render. Even now, he knows furniture types better than many dealers, and we wish him luck in that line. WILLIAM TWEED HARPER.

His smile accompanryzip I wird of greeting, will always be gladly accepted and long-remembered, wherever he may go. CATHERINE VERONICA HART, Kay Another Kay , although this time from a differ- ent angle. Catherine is of the same type, a pleasant girl, a wonderful pal, and a never-to-be-forgotten friend. During her high school life she has always ranked among the first in her class, and has never been in need of that greatest of all assets, friends. CHARLOTTE CORNELIA HATCH, Inky Art Editor of Mirror UD. Dramatic Club Q31 61 UU, Joke Editor of Spokesman Q31 6: OU, French Club QU, Virgil Class f4l President of College Club. So different, and yet, so good natured and fun- loving that one ean't help but like her, Charlotte, or Inky , as her most intimate friends know her. When it comes to ability, she outranks us all. Litera- ture, oratory, dramatics, her best in any of them is far above our poor powers to write, talk or act. VINCENT HEBERT, Vin A fellow that left us at the end of the first term, at which time he found himself the proud possessor of enough credits for the coveted diploma. A quiet fellow, who has many friends among us, and who takes with him the best of wishes from all of them. IRENE MARIE HELD.

Ag Behold the sharkiest of our Latin sharksl Agnes can read VirgiI's works as if they were in English. But Latin isn't the only subject in which she is a wizard. Would that a few more of us had such marks as hers. The greatest example of her ambition is that she has made high school in three years. LYNETTE ELIZABETH HOFFMAN, Lottie Dramatic Club Q31 61 00, French Club f4J, Debat- ing Club f4l, College Club. I had often heard people say, She has a won- derful personalityu. I was never able to compre- hend what they meant, until the day that I met sweet, smiling, brown-eyed Lettie . The revelation was complete, to say the least, and somewhat startling. SEVILLA MARY HOFFMAN, Sela Virgil Class The smile upon this young lady's face shows her character much more clearly than could we, with any number of words. We are proud to number her among the very few who have not as yet suc- cumbed to the 'bobbed-hair craze . She is a splen- did pal, a good student, and a girl that one can never forget. The many friends whom she has gathered about her during the school course, will all testify to those facts. EDGAR JAY HOGAN, Ed Council UQ, Business Manager of Mirror UD, Class President fl, 61 f4Q, Spokesman f2J, Drama- tic Club QZQ, f3j, 6: QU, Commencement Speaker. Good old Hogan, the jolly, capable pilot of the Class of '25, In large measure we owe the splendid showing our class has made, to his business ability and capable leadership. His fine scholastic record is a credit to him, and an honor to the rest of us. Everyone of his associates feels him to be a trust- worthy friend, the kind that is loyal always. .IOSEPHINE GERTRUDE HORNICK, jo Art Editor of Mirror, KID, Virgil Class f3D, French Club UU, Debating Club f4Q, College Club. Undoubtedly one of our leading newspapers will some day read: The celebrated artist, Miss jose- phine Hornick, who recently published her latest book, sang to her own accompaniment before a very enthusiastic audience. Indeed, with her talent, her determination, her natural intelligence, student abil- ity, and last but not least, her sense of humor, Central has every reason for its pride in her. ISABELLE VIRGINIA HOWELL. Gin Vice-president of Class UQ, joke Editor of Mirror CII, Basketball QZQ, Virgil Class f3,, French Club f4l, Council f4D, Orchestra Q4-bl, College Club. Here is one of '25's most popular students. She is scarcely ever serious, for who ever saw her with- out a smile on her face, or ever heard her say any- thing cross? She is an optimist, and we are sure that success will be hers, whatever she may take up. 26 51, 5 e s..6t3.3:i1:?-:F c M JOHN JOSEPH HOWELL, Jay Not a star athlete, nor one of the major charac- ters in our school life, just one of us , which means the most, when we stop to take stock. Never brought to the fore, either for praise or for fault-finding, we feel that he is a real fellow, and a good scout , when one finally becomes acquainted with him. JEANETTE MARGARET HUMBLE, Jan A quiet little miss who found herself in posses- sion of the required number of credits in February, and is now doing her bit , in the business world.

WILLIAM WING JONES, Bill Class Basketball f4J Jones, the fellow with the glasses. Gradually, during his high school career, he has shaped him- self into a wonderful efficiency expert. He has lengthened his stride to reduce the frequency with which he must place one foot before the other, in the necessary art of walking.

When called upon to serve, he is reading, willing and cheerful. He has not yet decided definitely whether he would better serve his fellow man ifn the capacity of a doc- tor, or as a street car conductor, but we are sure that his likable disposition and 'enviable character will bring him the greatest success, wherever he may venture, ALEXANDER CARL KERN, Alex IVIirror QI1, Debating Club C31 Gt 141, Track Quiet Alex is a reserved little fellow of that substantial, dependable type, which does the school worlds of good in a silent sort of way, through his earnestness and thoroughness in all that he does. He is not popular in the cheap, ordinary sense of the word, but is truly loved by his close friends, and greatly respected and admired by his wide circle of acquaintances. MARION LOUISE KIRSCHNER, Meg Debating Club 141, French Club 141, Virgil Class, College Club. Marion has a quaint, straightforward wit, a ready companionship, and an infinitely pleasing and enjoyable good humor. Her work in school is ex- cellent.

With his joviality and friendliness, he is one of the best-liked fellows in his class. He has an ideal build for a plunger, and has helped uphold the honors of Central in the swim . Dick, although always ready for a good time, has a more serious side to his nature, and is much ab- sorbed in his studies and in good books. THORA BONDENA LINQUIST, HT. B. L.

However, his excep- tional ability in this direction is only one of the many enviable qualities which have won him a wide circle of friends. MARY ESTELLE MacINTYRE, Dodds French Club Oil, Girls' Chorus Dil, College Club. Although Mary has spent but one year at Cen- tral, she has made many friends. Miss Connell must have been an inspiration to her, because she intends to teach high school English, after her four years at Allegheny. We wish her luck. JOHN EDMUND MARSHALL, Shrimp Trig Class Q41 Yes, we'll admit that he is quiet: but there is not a more loyal Centralite than he, in the entire class. john is just a real student, representative of the majority of our class members, always willing to help when called on: but thinking first of his les- sons and his own benefit, that he may be prepared to help others in later life. HARRISON WILLIAM MCARTHUR, Mac Harrison is a real gentleman, and a mighty fine sport. Ask any of the fellows, or any of the girls, for that matter, who know him. They'll tell you. He likes his good times, just as all the other students in the class do, but he can be truly thoughtful when occasion demands it. fHe hopes, however, that it will never be demanded more than once a dayj. He is much interested in Scouting, and has taken an active part in it whenever his studies would allow him to do so. EMMETT ANDREW McCABE. E. Mac This chap holds all records in the masculine talking line. He can say more in less time than can any other male in the class. When he opens his mouth he usually says something worth hearing, fun- less he's eatingj. In other words, lVIcCabe is not nonsensical more than half of the time, and the words of wisdom that he pours forth in the other half, are largely absorbed by his friends, pals, acquaintances, admirers, etc. ALMA LUCILLE MCCRAY, Amman ln this new-comer to Central, we find a good sport, a studious girl, and a real friend.

ANNE MARIE MURRAY, An' Murray , There is no need to describe her, as all we need to say is, An Murray , and everyone knows whom we mean. She has been a very enthusiastic booster at all of our football and basketball games, is a shin- ing light on the swimming team, and a student of no mean ability. Luck to you, Anne! JOHN BARRY NASH, Barr This dark-haired lad with his broad, winning smile, has made many friends among us during his course at Central. Although seemingly quiet at times, he is always on deck when there is any fun to be had. JACK BURTON NASON, Burt Debating Club QZJ 6: OU, Hi-Y Q31 6: 141, Virgil Class f3J, Basketball Manager f4J, C Club OU, Class Treasurer We owe a financially successful season in basket- ball to this tall young chap, whom so many of us know personally. He has a business head which would do credit to a leader in the biggest of enter- prises. Let us hope that he uses it as well after he leaves us as he has while among us. JOSEPH RICHARD NASON, Dick Hi-Y Q31 6: 141 Tall, lanky, and quick-witted is this handsome chap. He is the greatest deliberate mispronouncer of words, in captivity. He is also an excellent French student, being able to find one word in the vocabulary every fifteen seconds. This mental Hercules has at last reached the height of his ambition, the perfec- tion of an unreadable signature. However, in spite of all his accomplishments, he stands high in the esteem and regards of his many friends.

While only a Junior, he took the part of a slaved and brow- beaten assistant, and acted it well. But it was worth while: for he successfully guided the greatest fighting team Central has produced in some time. LINNEA ELIZABETH OLSON, Lin Linnea walks from room to room, A happy, smiling lass: But soon she's plunged real deep in gloom, When settled in her class. WILMA ALLENE ORE, Billy Although Wilma's report card Haunts numerous A's, and she's liked by all her teachers, she is far from being without friends among her schoolmates. Of course she's serious at times, but usually her smile appears very soon, and all the clouds disappear. CHARLES EDWARD PENOYER, Penouchi Another of the more serious members of our class. Yet, withal, ever ready for a merry life. We trust that this blonde giant will always be successful. His very sincerity makes us sure of it. OTTILIA CAROLINE PLEGER. Teal Clee Club f3D, Debating Club, f3J Teal is this bright damsel's nickname, We surely hope she'll acquire much fame: In her chosen career as a nurse to the sick, She will certainly be, of all nurses, the pick: For her merry laugh so light and gay Will all sorts of maladies quickly allay.

Nevertheless, he has been so active and popular that Central will surely miss him next year. ROBERT CHATTERTON PULLINC, Bob One of t e quieterrfellows, except when he's with own ittle bungah.

WILLIAM TOBIAS RYAN, Bill Dramatic Club f4l, Spokesman Humor and Bill are on good terms: hence, the same applies to Bill and his classmates. You never see him without a smile on his lips, and a clever say- ing at the tip of his tongue. No railing against fate and the teachers, ever comes from him!

Only in fourth period, and then the student side is revealed. One needn't wonder why Annabel has so many friends, for her continual smile is a perpetual reason, may it never die out. She can play a typewriter with the best, and will undoubtedly be successful in whatever she takes up. JOHN WILLIAM SCHABACKER, Nephew Clee Club CU, QZJ, Br f3J, French Club. John, though a quiet, unobtrusive lad, ranks high both in his marks and in the estimates of his classmates. He is always on deck when needed, a staunch Central rooter, both on the field and in the class-room. As a relative of a member of our faculty, he holds a rather choice position among us, but we wish him the best of luck in later life. HENRY BLAss SCHACHT, Hen Hi-Y up, 429, sr 433, Trig cum 14-AJ Hurrah for Hen l the shining light of the foot- ball and basketball seconds: Although popular in school activities, he has failed to succumb to the wiles of any single bit of feminism: but has so gov- erned his attacks that all of the weaker sex are hot on his trail . Who can blame them, when this genial youth has such a host of true friends? ALFRED ISHAM SCHAU, Al Alfred has completed his high school course in three and one-half years. Although not very active in school affairs, he has always been well-liked by his classmates. He is a loyal supporter of his Alma Mater. JEAN FREIBERG SCHLOSSER, Jeanie French Club f4J Jean will long be remembered by her class- mates for her wonderful curly hair, as well as for her charming manners.

Bim, for that's what everybody calls her, is well-known to all of us. Her good-natured dependa- bility has made her chairman of more than one com- mittee, and the Dramatic Club simply couldn't have carried out its successful year without her able super- vision as president. HELEN CAROLINE SEMMENCE, Sem Girls' Chorus QU, Council 13-AJ, Dramatic Club 13, 6: UU, French Club Q4-bl. Helen? Every time you talk to her, she seems prettier and dearer. She is sensible, witty ,and happy to say, not a shrieking, silly person. She is indeed worthy of being called a dignified Senior, and one of our most popular members, to say the least. MILDRED ALICE SHEPARD, Mil You have, no doubt, seen Mildred running about the halls, or on duty in the office. I-ler favorite color is red, which does not, however, reflect in the least on her disposition. She is always sweet-tempered and optimistic, and never appears except with a smile on her face. JAMES THOMAS SKURTIS, jim Ambition moves the world ahead, and james is doing his share, single-handed. His school days spent like those of our country's greatest men, consisted of hours of work and hard study, for which he is re- warded by an advancement to Carnegie Tech next term. May prosperity meet his efforts. MATHILDE SUSAN STEINER, Tiel Council fl, 6: CZJ, French Club OU, Virgil Class Q41 College Club. There is a sweetness about Tiel that most of us cannot claim. She is a matchless chum and con- ficlante, full of pep and gaiety. There is never a day that we do not laugh at her quaint, shy mirth.

MAXWELL CROUCH SUERKIN, Max He may be a little shy, but oh my-l Some of these quiet chaps surely do make fine friends, and Maxwell is one of them. One hates to see such fellows leave the school, in a certain way, even though it is for the honor and glory of Central. But then, here's luck to him in after yearsl MARGARET ELLEN SWALLEY, Margie She can sew and she can bake, What a housewife she would makel But Margaret wants to be a teacher, Which is sorta hard to feature.

ALBERT TRACEY VIAU, Frenchy Trig Class QU Frenchy is correct, he certainly carries the right nickname. Some of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known, have been of a nationality which has warranted the same sobriquetg and Al is right in line.

Algebra is his long suit, and we wish him all kinds of luck in his use of it. EDWARD HAMILTON WALLACE, 'iWee Class Basketball UU, Trig Class As his nickname implies, Wallace is not a giant, in a physical sense, anyway. However, in spite of his slightness of stature, he showed up many of the big fellows in the class games: and we hope that he will continue to do so in the bigger game that he will have to play for the rest of his career on this earth. ELIZABETH MAHON WASHABAUGH, Sally ls there a girl in school with more enthusiasm than has Sally? I-Ier pep and loveliness, along with her most pleasing personality, have won for her many friends. She is planning, and if her ambitions work out, it will not be many years till actresses and de- butantes will be wearing striking gowns designed by Mademoiselle Washabaughn. ELSIE JEANNETTE WASSERAIVIH joe Virgil QU New Jersey lost a wonderful smile when Elsie left that state: but their loss was our gain. This girl with the broadest smile in the school, has been the cheer of the toil-worn class of '25, She has been with us only since fall, but some people can make themselves invaluable, in a very short time: and Elsie is one of them. Some times we wonder where or why Joe is her nickname, but then, we're not telling.

Dramatic Club 145, Girls' Chorus 141, Virgil 141, College Club. - There are cold winters, mild winters, long win- ters, short winters, and severe winters: but the Winter we are going to tell you about, is the very best Winter we know. Catherine graduated from the grammar grades to an obscure unit of the public school system situated on the east side of the city, but she soon brought her parents nearer Central, to whose literary glory she has contributed extensively. CATHERINE LEOLA WISEMAN, Cassie Girls' Chorus 1lJ 6: 125, French Club 141, Virgil Class 141, College Club. While this tall Senior was trying to decide the troublesome question, To bob or not to bob , styles obligingly changed, and now she is one of the en- vied few. Catherine, one of our truly talented writ- ers, already termed queen , in her own right, has a genius for using the right word and so making each theme a new triumph. BELLA VIRGINIA WOOLHANDLER, Bel These few lines to you are tendered By friends sincere and true, Hoping but to be remembered When we're far away from you, Bella of the curly, black hair, is a well-known young lady, always having something to say at any time.

To a number of our boys both football and basketball have held laurels. Class basketball saw us at the top of the list. Our meetings at first were not very well attended, but we find as time rolls onward, that the enthusiasm is greater, possibly made more so as we realize we have only one more year here. The junior year is supposed to hold more fun for all pupils than any other year in High. ln spite of this general thought, most members, of this BEST CLASS in the whole four years, have worked just as hard as they had before or will work in the future.

Although we have not had much of a chance, the Sophomore boys have represented us unusually well in football, basketball, track and swimming. We have shown our talent and skill in dramatics, music and debating, also maintaining our scholar- ship, which is by no means the least of our achievements, We have not been able to accomplish much in the way of entertainment, but the co-operation we have received from the entire class, gives us assurance for many social ac- tivities in the future. We hope that when we graduate we shall have a record to be proud of both for the high standard we have established, and the way we have upheld the honor of our school.

Aifii Central Post Graduates Unable to withstand the temptation for more knowledge, twelve graduates of the class of l924, returned to their alma mater for further enlightenment. They included, Leona Gosman, jean Lutz, jean Heimberger, Lucille Aaron, Catherine Beckwith, Harriet Miller, Eileen Lange, Lois Wait, Bernard Daley, George Landers, Archie Anderson and Dorothy Kinney. l believe the class of i924 holds an unprecedented record in that they have had the greatest number of post-graduates. Lucille was not with us for any length of time because her family moved to Chicago to make their future home. Leona was with us all of the first semester and then she left to continue her work at Emerson College in Boston Archie's family also emigrated to another city where Archie will, l am sure, become famed for his clever announcements. There could be no definite organization of the P. G's of '25 because the students were not all signed for the full day's schedule and it was difficult to keep in touch with them. However, l'm sure that our record will remain unbroken. DOROTHY KINNEY ' 5 2 fssszsfff R- rfb cbs assist? gi l!

And back of it all was a supreme confidence that the school was behind our athletes. With such support how could we fail to make anything but the creditable showing that we have. Certainly we can look back with pride and say, Boy, there was a team for every aggregation that bore the dear old A team can't win all the time: and they gave their best all of the time. We're satisfied and proud of them. Our basketball team was of the best in the section. Their standing shows that. Our track squad is certain to be of the best. We have wonder- ful material. But where we shine is in swimming. The best in the country! The fish have nothing on us but gills. And as long as we have dear old Oppien what care we for that. We have been fortunate indeed in securing such ex- cellent coaching. And when we figure that almost every team is intact for next year why-it almost makes us frighten- ed when we think how we'll clean up the world. T.

The budding stars, of course, could not loaf so the veteran lettermen met in the famed tent ONE and formed an organization- the C Club. This society was to further all althletics in Central. All lettermen in the il .W , major sports were to be members. At the beginning of school this athletic trust found favor in the many eyes of the council and was duly recognized as an official organ. Mr. Shanor, powerful, wise and 1 spectacled, was appointed as the faculty advisor. He kept things humming and made A the first year of this club a success. With the coming of this new force the old school began a new era. The student - spirit was rejuvinated-tho, not by monkey glands. - When the Fish-horn-blowers Union was organized money was needed. So with this ' group. Three dances were given in the fall and money was made, but made at the wrong end-the club went into debt-enough. tk' The Friday night before Armistice day the C held a stag party in the gym. And 5, the pep that came from this-ask East Hi. '-f ln November the regular auditorium was given over to this club. There the greatest of feats was performed-some of the teachers and some of the students were forced to laugh for the first time since Punch and Judy died. The football heroes, the basketball tossers and all the rest became Thespians. lt was the C Auditorium. But that was small compared to the C club show in May. The school was nearly condemned as unsafe-the laughs, the cries of laughter and the rest of the laughs shook the building. Besides all this the club has been a 'great factor in keeping together the athletes. They have worked with each other outside of their sports. Better friendships tif that is possible, have been made. Better co-operation has developed and athletics have improved. This was the club's Hrst year. It has a start. ln the coming time its influence for better sports will be felt more and more. Central will come out ahead, if not on the winning side, as the school with the cleanest sportsmen and greatest school spirit.

During the last two weeks of August, Andy Fletcher took the squad to Shore- haven-on-the-Lake, and there six hours a day for fourteen days our boys labored and toiled in the hot summer sun under the penetrating gaze of their seemingly never satis- fied coach. The immessureable good which this preliminary training did for the team showed to its greatest advantage on September 20th, the first game of the year, when the Red and Black fought the General Electric Techs to a scoreless tie. For four quarters the heavier and vastly more experienced Electricians battered unceasingly in a sea of mud against our line, but to no avail: our boys had met the first test and proven themselves worthy of the colors they bore. Our first taste of victory came the next week when Ashtabula Harbor High School sent down eleven huskies to do battle with our terrible and ferocious bone crushers. Disappointed by being held to a scoreless game the Saturday before, our fellows launched such a bitter offensive against tbe Harborites that Harry Randolph was soon sent crash- ing over the line for the first score. Once again in the last half we added a touchdown and the whistle blew ending the game with the score I2-0 on the right side of the ledger. On October 4th Central received her first defeat at the hands of Painesville. The Red and Black warriors were off their feed as the freak score indicates. The Buckeye aggregation registered first with a touchdown which was quickly followed by one of Central's. Painesville again scored and Central again reciprocated: the Ohioans after many desperate attempts managed to slip over another and fighting to the last ditch finally managed to escape with a 20-l3 verdict against our fellows. The next week the team journeyed to Cleveland to meet St. lgnatius. Arriving in the Fifth City late, our fellows were forced to dress and report on the field in ten minutes. After such a long bus ride from Erie, they were in no condition to meet Cleveland's best and so dropped a hard fought game, 27-7. Harry Randolph made Central's lone score by a line buck, late in the second quarter. The following Saturday, Lafayette of Buffalo sent the next innocent lambs to slaugh- ter. The Empire State boys showed all they had when one of them ran sixty yards for a touchdown. After this brilliant flash, the Red and Black hammered away unmercifully for two quarters, and finally Quarterback Willie Randolph put over the touchdown which tied the score, Then Pewee Atkinson entered upon the scene and with only one minute to go, grabbed off a forward pass from Willie and raced over l..afayette's line with a touchdown which made the score I3-6 and gave to Central the most colorful victory in its history. 57 ss .1 ff-W - A LJ, Y 'H-at ie ' ..-ex ' ii.: I g g .ff ..4t5.-??2..2 , g a, On October 25th we met Greensburg. The Brown and White had a better team this year representing it on the gridiron than ever before, being scored upon only once. We were beaten 80-0. Passing on from the nightmare of the week before, we next met Shaw High in Cleveland. Having previously trampled over teams which had beaten St. lgnatius, Shaw was considered an overwhelming favorite, but in the ensuing battle, when Red and Black of Cleveland met Red and Black of Erie, and both stubbornly refused to be overcome, spectators worked themselves into a state of frenzy bordering on apoplexy, and Cleve- land was treated to a football game which would have done good to the heart of Knute Rockne. After sixty minutes of bitter fighting, the whistle blew and with the score 0-0, our boys returned home well satisfied with the day's work, ARMISTICE DAY!-The day of Central's downfall and also the day of her rise to the heights of football gloryl Captain Vanny led his men into Erie's new Stadium on that day for the first game ever played in that structure to defend the honor of the Red and Black against the Scarlet and Grey, The story of that memorable battle is best told by a local sport writer, as follows: East High won 2l-0, but those figures don't tell of the bitter battle that Central waged throughout the forty-four minutes of playing, holding that heavy East High bunch to a single touchdown in forty minutes and seeing all the breaks going against them. The Scarlet and Grey crashed over a pair of touchdowns in the last four minutes of the game. That's what makes the game look one-sided, Up until then East High didn't look a bit better than the Red and Black when it came to the pinches. They made ZI first downs against Central's lonely three, but when you figure the odds as they were quoted before the game started, Central at least accom- plished a moral victory. The punting of Clair Patterson was pitiful in comparison to the work of Randolph, the little Central halfback, who did everything as near right as it was possible to do. Time after time the East High runner was nailed far behind his line of scrimmage, though credit must be given to the Central linesmen for their dashing play that kept the East High squad at bay through the greater part of the game. That Central wasn't outscored by a greater margin can be attributed only to that wonderful fighting spirit that kept a crippled line battling away though they had little hope. Through this opinion of one of many you can easily see that the colors of Central have been glorified rather than humbled in this great game and that we may well be proud of our boys for they fought a good fight and fought it well. On November l5th we took on North Tonawanda in the stadium and the Central warriors again showed their sterling determination in the face of almost insurmountable odds by holding the l..umberjacks to a scoreless tie and for the first time in five years staved off defeat at the hands of the New York State team. On the next Saturday the season of i924 ended as it began,-in a field of mud. Meadville as the last victim went down in the mire with a 6-0 defeat. It was late in the second quarter when Art Weindorf recovered a Meadville fumble that Central was placed in scoring position and a few line plunges by Curtiss easily put it over. Thus the i924 Football Team of Central High School passed out of the picture and no greater tribute can be paid to it than that of Big Bill Edwards, the former gridiron hero of Princeton, when he said, after the Armistice Day Came, Erie's athletes, from what l could observe yesterday, compare favorably in skill with any other scholastic per- formers in the country. For sheer pluck that doughty little Central High team ranks with any gridiron group atop this mundane sphere. Before closing, we wish to thank the students and members of the faculty for their loyal support during the season so recently closed, and may the unbounded enthusiasm which prevailed in the school last fall, carry on in the same manner next year, urging Captain Tom Doyle and his followers on to the Championship Trophy which awaits them in the Stadium next Thanksgiving.

Up to almost the end of the league season, Erie Central was a prominent contender for the league honors. We ended in third place, a gain of two places over last year's standing, fifth. lBy all the laws of arithmetical progression, we should be safely ensconed QU in first place next year.l We have a fighting team and a team that can play basketball, and I think that every man on the squad deserves his share of praise Rosy Ross, who played every minute of every game, and who took a prominent part in every minute: Tommy Doyle, the fighting Irishman, who acted as captain the latter part of the season, and who won a guard's berth on the All League Second Team: String Nash, another All-League selection, who played a prominent part in the scoring columns: Curtiss, our railroad time-table: Hamm, the boy wonder, with three more years at Central: lucky Dawdy, fresh from the grape-fields of North East: Bula Rowley, the graceful old stand-by, whose back court form was always a topic for admiration among the girls of the towns we visited: Captain Harry Randolph, whose loss at the mid-year was greatly felt: Frankie Van Stone, whose fighting spirit stood him in as good stead in basketball as it did in football: Art Weindorf, our most handsome guard and Pewee Atkinson, another small but fast player: last, and by no means least, we come to our mentor, Andy Fletcher, .Ioe College, who is certainly there with the goods. We only hope that he's training Andy jr. for the right school. Our first game was with the Alumni on January 3, I925. For the first time in the recorded history of the school, Alumni won, 38-34: but when it is considered that they were all college stars and that they really tried to win, we need consider it no disgrace.

Although Warren had an unusually weak team for Warren, our team played a very excellent brand of ball, january l6, we journeyed to Franklin and received a real scare. The game was hotly contested from beginning to end, Franklin leading all the time up to the last fifteen seconds of play when Nash made one of his uncanny shots from the middle of the floor, so winning by one point, l9-l8. Rowley, who had passed the ball to String, after a heart- breaking pause, showed rare presence of mincl by this action. The next night we returned to Erie to play Meadville. Although they gave us a good run the first half, Central came back strong the second and easily won, 4l-20. The Tuesday after was a night of sadness. ln the presence of a great crowd East High, won by a score of I4 to 37. Nash scored our only goal from the field, The Saturday of that week, the day of the eclipse, not at all disheartened, we traveled to Oil City, on the dear old Pennsy. We lost one of our hardest fought games of the year in a see-saw battle 32-29. A week later Painesville, a non-league contest and Titusville fell at our hands I6-II and 29-24. Titusville gave us a few unpleasant moments. Then on Academy's own court, Central administered to them the most decisive beat- ing they ever received at our hands, 33-I l. Academy scored twice from the field during the last quarter. Doyle scored 4 baskets and only had 2 personals called on him. The climax of the season was reached the following Saturday, February 4, l925. Oil City came to Erie for the return game. At the half, Oil City led by 5 points. Once during the third quarter they were seven points ahead. Then Central rallied. With about a minute to go, we tied. Thirty seconds to go and Oil City scored. Then Bub Rowley established a deserved reputation for a keen eye and a steady hand. The final whistle was in Tod Criswold's mouth when he tossed in a neat side-court shot. ln the overtime period Oil City was outplayed 7-I. The final score was, Central 30: Oil City 24. Our next game with Edinboro State Normal was another overtime affair. Here there were two of them. Pewee Atkinson, broke into the lime light with a winning shot. 32-30. Warren on their own court and Franklin at the Y. each put up a good game for three quarters and each finally weakened, in the last, to the tunes of 46-29 and 36-24. The next week Meadville in a very good game, and Painesville in a game with an exciting first half brought our string of consecutive victories to 9 straight-32-27 and 28-l3. February 23, l925, we went over to East High. The previous Friday they had lost to Oil City, thus giving us the opportunity by a victory over them of making a three- way tie for first place in the league. Our fellows went over with a determination to win and for three quarters it looked as if they were going to succeed. Then, an older, more experienced team finally got away from us. But everybody who saw the game and who didn't wear a scarlet and gray pair of spectacles, agreed that Central out-played the league champions in every department of the game but that of foul-shooting. The final score, 35-20, really doesn't indicate the closeness of the struggle. The next Tuesday there came one of those off nights which every team has during the course of the season. Unfortunately our opponent was Academy. We were, of course, too confident, what team would not be which had met such spineless resistance as Academy offered us before! ln a game which was thrilling and yet heart-breaking to any Central follower who had seen the magnificent fight and play which we had displayed at East, Academy emerged victor by one point. It is only fair to both sides to say that Academy displayed a much improved brand of ball while Central was decidedly off form. The absence of our coach was also keenly felt. The following Friday, we closed our league schedule at Titusville, winning 38 to 26, much more easily than we did on our own court. That both the coach and the manager were in bed at home, doubtless had marked effect on the teamis playing which, they say, closely approached normal. For a week the team remained idle to permit Academy to finish their schedule, after which the post-season game to decide who should represent Erie at the Allegheny Tourna- ment was to be played. Monday, March I6, was the big night. It was also the date which marked almost the only refect on an otherwise brilliant season. lt is still a bitter memory. A fighting, renovated Academy team took the lead at the start. Then Central showed a Hash of the old spirit, tying the score twelve at half-time. The Red and Black took the lead after the rest period by a throw from the foul line. For a few minutes there was no scoring. When the men from the hill school secured lead that was never lost, although it always remained within danger. The final score was I7-2l, 62 M.. N ., .4 5,-, rs -9 ,- Pg iii-Q? Q!
