Tine CENTERITK A 13 Athletics in Center High School - During the four years that Center High School has been in operation, it has been the policy of the ad- ministration to mix in a certain amount of athletics. The boys went out for baseball and basketball. Football was not considered due to lack of funds for equipment. Baseball provided clean sport and we have been fairly successful with it. It teaches the player to be active and skillfull. Both these qual- ities help anyone. Basketball keeps one fast and fit. These qualities are also helpful in the school- room as well as in all other walks of life. Every per- son needs to be a good clean sport and there is nothing that will teach this to him more quickly than high school athletics. No one admires a ‘‘crab- ber” or a cheat. The students provided most of their own equip- A BASKETBALL GAME Out on the court comes the Center five. Resplendent in blue and white, Followed anon by the rival team— Both hoping to win to-night. Up at center the ball is tossed; Down the floor it goes— First in the hands of the blue and white, Then in those of their foes. Tossed at the basket, it bounces back, Landing upon the court; Then lost to sight for a moment or two— Thus, the glorious sport. As the game advances the scores amass; The enemy is leading by one; But the Center five is growing intense ; For the game will soon be done. The end is near when one of our boys Cages a long field goal, And amid the cheering of the crowd The whistle is heard to blow. Vcd er ee BANG!!! The inevitable had happened. Yes, it had hap- pened that very day. The town’s old bachelor, Pete, had purchased a new Ford, a model A, While the people were thus talking about his buying the new Ford, Pete was having trouble of his own. The salesman had given him some les- sons in driving before he purchased the car, so he had climbed into the car at the garage, backed it out, and started home. ment. They received practical training in Manual Training and Geometry when they built their bas- ketball court and laid out their baseball diamond. The girls played basketball in the fall and tennis in the spring. They have proved that boys are not the only ones who can be athletes. Both the boys and girls of this school have proved thet they are good sports on more than one occasion and have always played the game squarely from be- ginning to end. And so then we may safely say, “‘Athletics are a necessary part of our high school life, when not over-emphasized.”” Long may the Blue and White swiftly sweep down the court or over the diamond and turn in fair victories. Ge eas He had gone about two miles when he heard a horn behind him; he looked around to see who it was and—Bang!! A telephone pole had measured its length on the ground. Luckily the bumpers saved Pete’s car and he proceeded down the road. Finally after running over three chickens and nar- rowly missing a dog, a pig, a gate, and another tele- phone pole he arrived at his home. He turned in at the gate, but he had forgot how to stop the car; he smashed through the yard fence, scraped the bark from a couple of trees, and then—Bang!!— into the house. He broke two windows and a door. After the last quiver of the engine had died away, Pete climbed from the car slowly shaking his head, and said, “I guess I wasn’t made to run an auto; so henceforth I’ll leave them dumb things alone.” M. G. ’29 THE FALL FESTIVAL All the schools in Washington Township, John- son County, participated in a festival and exhibi- tion of farm produce Friday, Oct. 14, 1928, at Cen- ter High School. About four hundred persons at- tended. Mr. Robert Adams of Iowa City judged the grain, vegetables, and fruit. Miss Isaacs and Miss Kelly, senior students in the Home Economics department of Iowa State University, judged the exhibition of baking, canned goods, and sewing. Mr. Adams also conducted a contest on weed identification. In the afternoon the schools each gave a short program after which many of the products were sold at auction. This money has been placed in the Washington township festival fund which will be used next year,
