Courtesy Monitors VERY familiar sight as one enters Central is some amicable student, seated at a table in the hall poring laboriously over a choice bit of Caesar, civics, chemistry, or the like. This individual is one of sixteen courtesy monitors whose responsibilty it is to direct about or to offer helpful information to wandering strangers and visitors that may be innocently seeking the post ol'Hce . The Courtesy Monitors, chosen this year from members of the Honor Study Hall, were under the direction of a Student Council Committee. Each period of the day, during the past year, two students took their places in the halls, one on each side of the building. Here they faithfully executed their re-' spective duties, proving more clearly than ever before the importance and significance of this organization. -RQSEMARY LANDIS eighty-live

Honor Study Hall EVEN years ago, Honor Study Hall, a project of the Student Council, was formed, but a short time later it was voted down by the student body. Again, in 1933, Honor Study Hall was reorganized for the express pur- pose of cultivating honor among the student body of Central. lf this privilege is abused by any student, he is declared unit for remaining in Honor Study Hall and quickly returned to Study Hall 307. Every day seven monitors or their assistants check the roll in Room 202 during seven of the school periods. The rules which must be adhered to in Honor Study Hall are as follows: Only two students may speak at a time for three minutes, one person may leave the room at a time after permission is granted by the monitor, and no one may speak without permission. The chairman, who has complete charge, is chosen at the beginning of the year from the qualified upper classmen. The chairman of the Honor Study Hall Committee, who efficiently carried out her duties, was Janie Burke, assisted by Alta Jayne Clark and Betty Ras- mus: while Miss Watson, the faculty advisor, aided in every way. Following the mid-year transition of classes, Carroll Lewis was chosen monitor in the second period, Bonnie Sherer, in the fourth. period: and John Robenalt, in the seventh period. The Honor Study Hall monitors who were not included in the picture are Carroll Lewis, Betty Rasmus, John Robenalt, Bonnie Sherer, and Dorothy Walther. -NEAL KESSLER eighty-four

Street Patrol S the postman braves the icy winds, rain, and snow, so does the Street Patrolman, protect the careless pedestrian and control the uncertain motorist, three times per day. Although there is great danger of being crushed by two Cor morej reck- less drivers, these hardy men have braved all obstacles Without flinching. Since its inception a few years ago, the Street Patrol has an enviable record in which there have been no serious accidents on the four corners adjacent to Central High School. The officers of the Street Patrol, who were elected at the beginning of the year and who helped to preserve this record at all times, were Bob Joseph, presi- dent, Virgil Mousa, vice-president, Philip Meeks, assisted by Ronald Wright, secretaries, Philip Meeks, treasurer: and James Von Almen, sergeant-at-arms: while Mr. Huber is the faculty advisor of our Street Patrol. One day, the students of Central, on their way to school, noticed sixteen men, four on each corner, each raising and lowering a bamboo fishing pole with a small, red flag draped on the end. Although these men efliciently carried out their duties, they did not permanently keep our brave heroes from their work, for the Central Street Patrolmen were back on their jobs within a week. The Street Patrolmen who were not included in the above picture are Tommy Bacome, Paul Barnhard, Dean Courtney, Willis Early, Bob Gavin, Eugene Grifliths, Robert Hitchcock, James Koch, Bill Kohl, Thurman McClain, Edward Meeks, Bob Stoner, Bob Vandemark, and Myron Winegardner. . -NEAL KESSLER eighty-six
