While a few parents in the Township were interested, and the project was dis- Lal cussed at various times, no definite steps were taken until June 23, 1924. On this date gat a meeting was held at Center School, where the merits of a country high school were jaa discussed ‘by several speakers. Afiter a great deal of solicitation, worry, and suspense during the summer, Lal thirteen students in the Township were found willing to forego the conveniences of j | older, better established, and better equipped schools which they might have attended, UF and thereby make it possible to open a high school in Washington Township. | fic On the 8th of September, 1924, the above mentioned 13 students gathered in the lie basement of Center School, and the first days work of high school was begun. lie Whether the number thirteen has been unlucky, can be best judged by those who j have watched the progress of this school for the past four years. It is gratifying to j 20 those responsible for the opening of the school to know that eight of the original j ' thirteen completed their four years of work at this school last year; one finished three : | years; only two of the number failed to complete two years of work; and two others : Uc § moved away and are finishing at other schools. Het Due credit for the success this school has attained should be given to Miss May line E. Francis, then Superintendent of Public Instruction, for the encouragement given. | : While the first year’s work did not entirely meet the standards of the State Depart- jor! ment for high school approval, being convinced that an honest effort was being made j Say! to make the best of existing circumstances and also seeing that much good work was j Bi! being accomplished, the State Department very wisely approved our first year’s work. LL) a a PS a P a P a oe ee ee ee ee ee Without this aid the school would have died in its infancy, and there would have been just nothing further to write than its obituary. We are pleased to say that the present State ! i Superintendent, Miss Agnes Samuelson, is also anxious that this school shall continue { j to grow and be an asset to this community. ij After two years of approved work the problem of adequate room and equipment Vn to handle a full four year high school course confronted the school board, which, it (us, = should be made clear, is nothing more than the board for District number five. Ac- jus! cording to law Center High School is a District High School. A number of public meet- jue! ings were held in order to arouse enough enthusiasm in the Township to make it pos- jue! sible to go on with the school without any interruption and offer a full four year high : { school course. Again it required a considerable amount of solicitation and time to En raise enough money by public subscription—this being the only way the plan for a high En school could be carried out under the present Township school organization, unless the Enh sub-district idea was used, which was and is impractical in our case—to erect a building (U5 z suitable for high school purposes. But by persistent efforts the task was completed juc,! June 25, 1926. Five thousand dollars was pledged in amounts ranging from five to five hundred dollars. In June 28, the ground which had been donated to the school, was fenced, and the hauling of material was begun by people of the community. From this time work went steadily on until the completion of the building and opening of school, Septem- ber 15, 1926. It has not been the motive of those sponsoring this school to compete with town or city schools, or to forward any selfish purposes, but rather to give the children of the rural districts at least some of the advantages that towns are offering to their young people. As a result of this high school, many are enjoying the benefits of a high school education who otherwise would have to stop with graduation from the eighth grade.

Vol II May, 1929 No. 1 THE NEED OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Just what is the need of a high school education is a question which we hear a great many times. But we all can realize, if we stop to think, the value as well as the need of the high school education. The four year period which we spend in high school delays the choice of our life’s work until we have had a chance to see a little more of life. At the end of the eight years of elementary training, very few of us have had the necessary experience to enable us to choose intelligently the thing we want to do for the rest of our lives. Many who quit school at the end of the eighth grade get into one type of work and stay there. Often they afterwards feel a desire to do something else, but because it is too much effort, they continue in the same old rut. In this case, which is just what happens, the delay of four years with the training of the high school might have helped them to decide on a work better suited to them- selves. The social training which we receive in the high school is of unlimited value to us. The banquets, parties, plays, and other social events of the high school help us to know how to conduct ourselves at gatherings of that sort. The training that we vet there helps us to know how to meet people when we get out in the world. It also helps to choose our friends, those who think clearly, fairly, live right and prove them- selves to be of the highest type of American boy or girl, and those whose aim is not to get all from the world they can but to be of as much service as they can to their fel- lowmen. The high school offers opportunity for self development to those students who have the desire to make more of their lives than do the students who stop at the end cf the eighth grade. Today the uneducated person has no chance in competition with the men and women who are educated. The positions offering the highest salaries are open only to those who have at least gone through high school. The different fields of service demand trained men and women. Teachers, doctors, nurses, and missionar- ies must be trained for their work. If we are to attain a position of influence, we must have a high school education. Through the aid of the mental training we are enabled not only to think clearly, Pee eae a ee Eee RR RT oa eae is Uae Ua aU TTI iS aS RS A) () SD ( AAD ( ) EAD ( ) AD) () () A ( ) TD ¢ ) ERED ( ) ED ( ) RED ( ) ERED () = ( ) ENN ( RENRND- () RD- ( ) ETN ( ) RRND () ERED- ( ) EED ( ) SRNERED- () RE () Q ( ) ARENREND ( ) RD () END ( ) ERED () ANNE ( ) ED () ND () ARNE () ER ( ) SERN () ( ) ER ( ) REE () AND ( ) RN () A) AN () (A ( ) A () () () - () () ( ce SS) A) A) ) A) A) A A) A ( A) A) A) A A A A a OO (eam |) a ( SD () () () e () - ( ee PS ARN () E C) ER () ERA C) LER ©) () ) A (I ) () A () A () AR () RE ( ED) ND ( SEND ( ) AD () ED () D- () D(A () D-( 20 0) AE AE ) LE () (DSO (j LUG UC UCP UU URE UE THE CENTERT A a en: oy M0: ) ) AD) EL () AA ( TD ( ) AC) AA ( A () AAD ( ) ED () AR () GARAND ( ) M ( ) CRER ( ) GRD� { ) AER ( GRRE ( ( ) ERED () GRE () GRE Behe paleelee renal ge , 99 4 4 | i i ein —_ 2 = a om a me me cme erm ee ce ee een Sm RE A A A A | A | LL | LS EL | EL | | A A | |) EE A |) A | A |) ee eee |) 4 ee ee LLL) I) (ED ( ) ERE (RR ( ) I ( ) ED ) RE ( ) TD ( ) I ( ) OE ( ) CED () ED () CED () ED ( ) GED ( ) -D () D () %,9, _ THE CENTERIKA cal O22 OE OD A OA A A OA A A A A A A A A) A ) A) A) A) eR ) eC i 06) ee 0 cae) ca) er LS A () (| ( ER EE ( ) AD ( () EE ( ) EE to get the best view or right prospective of true values but also to appreciate good literature, poetry, and many of the better and finer things of life. Not only can we distinguish and know of these better things, but we can tell others who are not per- mitted the many benefits of the years spent in this work. Education will make us better citizens. We are given a larger conception of what is going on around us, It enables us to see the advantages offered by community life. One of the important aids of the high school education is the physical training. It gives us strong, healthy bodies. It helps to make our muscles respond quickly a nd to make instant decisions. But above all it teaches us to give and take success and defeats in the spirit of good sportsmanship. The memories of high school tasks with their trials which in those days may have seemed difficult will be in future years but stepping stones to nobler things. Memo- ries of duties achieved, of difficulties overcome will make us stronger to face the temptations of life’s battles. May we all realize that the high school education is but a foundation upon which we build our lives. Ed. THE CENTERIKA One year has passed since the students and faculty of Center High School have published their first high school annual, “The Centerika.” We have had a very busy year at school and we hope it will prove to be very suc- cessful in every respect. We may not be able to notice the good things we have received at school this year or the next but in the future we all will surely be glad that we at- tended Center High School. We hope that our high school education will be valuable to us both in youth and adult life. In “The Centerika” we try to give a cross-sectional view of the work we are doing in the high school. This annual is not published solely for the purpose of demonstrating literary merits but also to show something about the activities of the students and to serve as a written record of the progres of Center high school. This year we have a larger annual made possible by more advertising and the gen- erous support of the people in our community. We wish to thank all those who have shown such interest in us and our school, which to a very great extent determines its success. We are glad that so many people of this community are quick to recognize the need for education. We hope that Center can do things better each year and that each graduating class will prove more and more that the high school is worth while. Ass’t. Ed. THE RURAL HIGH SCHOOL Johnson County has now had the rural high school long enough to make it possible to mark some results. More than 100 students in this county have been attending these rural high schools now for the past five years. Some 25 have been graduated from them. Next school year will find nearly half of this number teaching in our one room schools. Some of these have already taught one year and some two. The work of these be- ginning teachers will compare favorably indeed with similar work done by graduates from town and city high schools. Not a failure or even a half-failure has been graduated from these rural high schools, as yet among those who have taught. Would that as much could be said of those coming out of other types of high schools. I do not believe those who have graduated from the rural high schools are more capable than the others who are following them; therefore, the rural high schools of the county show promises of doing more than their share in improving the work to be done in one room schools in this, their home county.

Acting according to this kindly advice thirteen eighth grade graduates, practically all from Johnson county, entered the basement of the Center High School building to jus! begin their high school career consisting of four years of never tiring studying. With : i the splendid aid of Professor O. Ray Bontrager we succeeded in all our undertakings, li even in the most enjoyable of all, the trip to the dam on the Mississippi River at Keo- F kuk, Iowa. its Since no severe hazing methods were practiced on the beginners of Center High, Lei likewise none were practiced the next year so the school was successful in gathering Uc: into the old fold a new Freshman class. Because of the addition of a new class it was jc! found impossible for all to assemble in the former portion of the Center grade build- 2 i ing so the parents all willingly reached into their pockets and all went deep enough eG to secure enough hard earned money to erect a new school building. Also with the Gr addition of a new Freshman class it was found necessary to hire another teacher to ear assist Mr. Bontrager. Miss Ross from Ames, Iowa, was selected to help guard the ei body of students safely through the next nine months of school work. This being done juc: we all journeyed to Iowa City on the last day of school to bid farewell. ; { Soon the vacation rolled by and the second Junior class of C. H. S. fully realized ein a () that ere long they would be an intelligent, happy group of Seniors. This year being the first to allow the school to give attention to four classes, an extra division was re- quired. So the helpful board of education chose an entirely new faculty consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Hanson as the best to carry on the good work already started. It was this year that brought in many new chances to brighten the school life. The Junior class was privileged by the aid of a few fellow sc lioolmates to pre- sent the entertaining play, ‘Aaron Slick from Punkin Creek.” This play seemed to please and satisfy everyone. At the close of this school year we were sorry to see the first Senior class leave us, but again we were glad that the next year would be our Senior year; then our turn to leave would soon come. After spending a profitable vacation we all returned with an extra student. name- ly, Laurine Miller, but about the middle of the year we were disappointed to lose a strong stand by, Esther Yoder, who moved with her parents to Mississippi, where she is completing her high school course. Thus our class was reduced to a total number of nine highly dignified Seniors, who helped in every enterprise that they possibly could. As a final remembrance of our many talents which were built up during our high school life we presented the play, “His Uncle’s Niece.” Shortly after this we were truthfully pronounced graduates of Center High School. We are now glad that we are the second Senior class that has been graduated from Center High School and sent out into the wide, wide world “to strive, to seek, to find not yield.” Vig Us 729) Work of The Johnson County School Masters Club The Johnson County School Masters’ club sponsored the Christmas Seal Sale in Johnson county outside of Iowa City this year. The club did this with the idea of using the share kept by the local sponsors for health work in the schools of the county. At a recent meeting County Supt. Leeper, secretary of the club was authorized to purchase first aid kits to supply every school in the county in accordance with its need:. Center High School received two of them. We are sure that this school is not alone in its appreciation. You no doubt would like to know more about the Johnson County School Masters’ club. It is an organization started about four years ago composed of all men outside of Iowa City who are engaged in school work. Stated briefly this organization exists for the purpose of fostering anything that is good for the schools and for fellowship among people engaged in similar work. Among the more important things it has sponsored this year are: The Christmas Seal Sale and subsequent using of funds for health purposes; The County Declamatory Contests and the County Athletic Meet. ) ( ) ) ( : ) A ) A A () RD () AR (5 D ) A ( AD) A ( ) A A ( ) AND () D () A C) D ) AC; ED) AD () ED () D () () D- () ) () CD (ED () c ( ) Sa () ae (ca () RD () ce ¢ ote | Sa i 2) AE () AD) A) AD () A) A) AD OE) SD) A) AD) () DD (A () SN () RR () ST ) EE ( EE ) RE) LA) EE ) AE) A) A) ES) A) A) A) A) A) A) A A) A A A OA A) ED SD (AD ED OE ED () ED (END ( O56 aetna e renee renee THE CENTERIKA Fee ee eee eee LS A () A ) AC) RD () A ( ) ED () ERD ( ) ED (RD ( ) AED () CARRE () EEE ( ) EE ( ) GR ( ERED () COE ( ) ERR () ERED ( ) ERED () GERREED ()- RRD ( 2) A) OE N)-CA C ( D-() BSE | (ane aan ae e ae eae SS (|) RD ¢ ) I (AE |) em ( ee) a ¢ ) rm ) ere ) ce (ce |) ce (cag A) A A A A A A A Ee ( 2) SCS) A SD ( AD ( RD ( ED | ) ED ( ) eID () SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the senior class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine being of sound mind and body, have decided to retire from our present occupation (as we have thoroughly mas- tered it) leaving the same to our successors, namely the class of ’30.

Seth Eimen leaves all of his practical jokes to Leoan Liebe, hoping she will find some use for them. Vir Jones leaves his ability as a baseball pitcher to Victor Otto Eugene Hess. Melva Rae Gingerich leaves her arguments for the ‘Chivy’ to the Sophomore class, hoping that the Sophs will give them particular attention. Laurine Miller has been persuaded to leave her mechanical ability to Mr. Fredrick Beard. : The chairman of the style committee, Ervin L. Eash, leaves his red hat “Spike” to Arline Patterson. Walter Reber after many brave attempts has decided to leave his dignity for Del- mar Brenneman. Wallace Gingerich is donating his new baseball glove to Chase Millice, hoping to further his ball interests. Little George Hess has decided to leave his desk and accessories to Paula Meleek, known to most people of everyday life as Eulah Miller. Mr. Wayland W.

CLASS PROPHECY It is in the year of 1950, as I sit gazing at the Centerika, I notice in the large head lines, “Welfare of Class of ’29.” It immediately draws my attention as this was the second class of Center High. With eager eyes I read the following: “Walter Marner is trying to be the matinee idol of Broadway. His lates t unsuc- cessful hit is “Secret Follies.” “Wallace Gingerich is working in General Motors. He certainly has changed his mind since ’29. “Vir Jones has just accepted the position of flying instructor at a New York Aviation field. “Nothing can be said of Ervin Eash’s present occupation, as he was lost sight of two years ago. “Laurine Miller has just been announced the world’s champion in the milking contest held at Paris, France last week. “We have just heard that Seth Eimen has accepted the position of Dean of Men at Harvard University. “George Hess is going to join Seth at Harvard as his assistant. It will be re- membered that these two were very great friends in the year of ’29. “Walter Reber because of his love for farming has decided to try to reclaim the Arizona desert. We all wish him success. “Melva Gingerich, famous teacher of music, has just invented a new musical seale which is making a great hit among all high class musicians.” I lay aside the paper with a sigh.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 19380, entered Center High School in 1926. Of course we were known as the Green Freshmen, but we didn’t mind that for we were very timid the first year. Our instructors were Miss Lois Ross and Mr. O. Ray Bontrager who was Super- intendent of the school. There were eight Freshmen, namely: Marjorie Hukill, Edna Yoder, Ferne Wertz, Arvilla Eimen, Lois Bontrager, Cecil Bontrager, Eulah Miller and Agnes Swartzen- druber. The students all returned the next year except Eulah Miller. A great change could be seen between the Freshman class of ’27 and the Sopho- more class of ’28. The Sophomores lost all their timidness and became really gay and enjoyed school very m uch. The instructors for ’28 were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Lena Hanson. The Junior class of 1929 has changed considerably. Two of the students sought their knowledge in another school, namely: Lois and Cecil Bontrager. They were transported to Goshen, Indiana, and there indulged in a sad and lonely life. But some of the disappointment was lessened when we received news that Miss Helena Amelon would enter our class, and that Eulah would return. We are now known as the jolly Juniors although we do study harder than we ever have done.

At noon a delicious fried chicken dinner was served by the ladies of the community. The purpose of this event is to further the spirit of co-operation among the schools, to let the public know more about the things that are being accomplished by our com- munity, and to provide an opportunity for wholesome fellowship.

You take this money. I had intended to buy a pair of beads, but I have so many I really don’t need them. You take this money and get yourself something nourishing to eat and then rest. Tomorrow you will feel better, and more like working.” “How can I ever thank you?” asked the girl. She was thinking of the good lunch she would have and then the coolness of her own room. “l’m glad to do it,” said Betty. The girl left the store. She bought food and went to her room to rest. As she lay between the cool linen sheets, her head stopped throbbing and she dropped off to sleep dreaming of the dark haired girl who had been so kind and thoughtful and she decided that all the people in the world had not become heartless and selfish.

Knowing the store well, as she did most of her shopping there, Betty Ann ' Very hurried to the jewelry department. | Lei “T want to look at some yellow beads, please,” said Betty Ann to the girl behind | jc - the counter. ( ea As the girl turned, Betty Ann saw she trembled, and as she picked up a tray of i Ir keads and cone i ie Sea a ae and eee pea 4 : i “Have you been ill?” aske etty Ann, who was always doin g something for = ar others J Tr “Yes,” said the girl, “this is the first day I have been to work for a month. I ! ent just had to come today. I’ve had the flu, but my landlady said if I didn’t pay her i ein Saturday for my room she’d set me out in the street.” j Lear Betty Ann looked at the girl thoughtfully. She was very pale, her eyes were i pur large and looked strained, her hands trembled. i ' ; ' : 4 MR. SPIFFLEDINKER USES THE NEW SEWING MACHINE Mr. Spiffledinker purchased his wife a new electric sewing machine. It had just come the day before, but he imagined his wife should have all the sewing done. He wanted a clean shirt and of course noticed the one lying among the mending which had not been patched. He was bound to have that particular shirt. He said to Miranda his wife, in a gruff tone, “Why haven’t you that shirt patched? You might have known I would want that shirt.” Miranda replied very sweetly, “There are some in the dresser drawer which have been nicely mended.” “But I don’t want them. I want this one. What did I get you that sewing ma- chine for if you aren’t going to use it’ I’ll patch my own shirt.” “Very well, my dear,” said his wife. Mr. Spiffledinker put the current on full blast and started to patch his shirt. “Wang,” went the sewing machine. ‘Chew, chew,” went the thread and finally broke. “Miranda, Miranda,” he yelled, “what’s wrong with this thing?” 6 me ee () cee 0 ee em) ce () cee () LL) ) A () S ) AAD () RA ¢ ) SPEER ( ERD ( ) I ) RRR ¢) ERD) ED ( ) A ( ) EE RD () RC) RR () A () RE () ER ( RN () ER () ED () A () ) A) A) ) A (A ) A) A) OO) a a (a () EC nena SA A) SS) A ANE OSE OG A) A) A) A) AE) A) A) A) AE) AD) AD) ES) ERD) ER) AE) AE) A () AE) A) AD) A) FESR THE CENTERTKA fUgtntatRtaU aU aU aURURURUGs A) A) A) EL) EA) A) A) A ) A) A) A) () ( A ( ( () A () a ( O) ee EEL) A () EE ( ) E-¢ ) A (AN () A C) (AC) C) A () -CANND- () RANNND- () C.

Miranda,” he said, “what makes these patches pucker?” He got very little satisfaction. Mrs. Spiffledinker only replied, “Don’t ask so many questions, my dear.” After breaking four needles he decided he would finish the patching by hand. Tais he did which he called successful. He glanced down and saw several buttons missing. “Well,” he said, “if I can’t patch shirts on the sewing machine, it’ll be mighty funny if I can’t sew on a button with it.” This was too much for Miranda. She slipped up the stairs and laughingly looked down the register at her husband. He sat down again and turning on the current proceeded to sew on a button. “Bang,” went the sewing machine. “Ouch,” went Mr. Spiffledinker. “Oh! Miranda! Miranda! What a life. That needle has gone through my finger. Oh-h-h!” Miranda ran down the stairs, turned off the current, and set her husband free. “Now,” she said, “it’s time for you to go to the barn. It’s the only place for you. From the far distance rang the echo, “I guess Miranda is right.” Lbs A ees ps ” BONES Bones is the lattice work on witch the body grows. If you didn’t have sum bones you would be shaped like a custard pie. If I didn’t have no bones, I wouldn’t have so mutch shape as I now have, and teacher would be pleased but I like to have mo- tion, ’specially in this pay-as-you-enter suit ma bought for me. If my bones was stuck together with wires in the right places, it would make a skeletum. I am mighty glad my skeletum was put on the inside before I was finished, ’cause it looks better there. There is a grate menny different kinds of bones. There is the crazy bone, the wish bone, the soup bone, the trombone, the bone spavin’ and the backbone. The backbone is — the back bone is sit — the backbone is situ — the backbone is sitch- ervated just inside the peel on the other side from the front side and is filled with rubber. The backbone is made up of humps with places in between where the hump is left out. When your skates fly out in front, and you sit down on the ice, one end of the backbone is at the lowest side of the head, if it don’t puch up through, and the other end is at the upper side of the ice. There is another bone called the skull. The skull has humps, too. Sometimes there is branes on the inside of the skull. Bones don’t grow solid like the limbs on a tree, ’cause they have joints. Joints is good things to have in bones. They grease themselves and don’t squeak. The bones that hold your lungs in are called slates. They run around you, east and west. When bones is ground up fine, they make a good fertilizer. It gives me a lone- some, scattered feeling, and brings tears to my eyes to think that I might be used in an onion patch. Some folks, when living, killed every thing they touched, and it wouldn’t be safe to use the bones of them kind of people for vegetables. nate All’! F2. By 3! Even the woodpecker owes his success to the fact he uses his head and keeps pecking away until he finishes the job he starts. Real men are made of what they get out of themselves, and not out of others.
