Tenmlv Tennis is one of the most exciting games ever to be played. The game has been mod- ernized so that young and old alike may participate. Tennis has found its way into the public eye as a major sport. In summer camps tennis is a favorite among the patrons. Some schools even have tennis as a part of the physical education course. Today in most every town in the United States you will find courts on which to play. Lima has courts in every part of the city, but these courts are inadequate because of the in- creasing popularity of the game. The parade to the campus courts grows greater and greater. Central has set up inter- scholastic competition with the other schools around. Each year the caliber of our tennis squad has become better. We've talked about the teams and the history of tennis so why not try it. Get up bright and early some morning, trot over to the courts, and take a few practice swings to limber up those stiff muscles. Then get down to business. The sun is hot but one's interest in the game spurs one on. Fun isn't it? Playing for a few hours every day will sharpen one's game.

Young and old are seen walking over the courses at all hours of the day swinging their clubs and losing their balls. Golf, like tennis, has found its way into the schools. It is, however, a much more expen- sive game so many persons can't afford to play. Every year golf clinics are held free of charge, and in this way many people learn to play without a lot of expense. Golf is an invigorating game and will help in the' conditioning of the American men and woman who in the future-when tires are gone-will have to walk. Golf tournaments are held in the same manner as tennis tournaments. The team is sent to the district, and then, if they win, they are sent to Columbus where the finest golf teams in the state participate for top honors in the state, Central has been turning out fine golf teams for years and probably will for years to come. Central placed fourth in the district tournament at Bucyrus this year, and the following records show why we should be proud of our team. u Defiance -------------.-,-o.----. 14 Central - ----------------------- 4 Findlay -------- - ------------ --- l Central ----------- ------------- 4 H Kenton ---.----------.,...a,.d .M 4 Central-------. .------- , ------ --- 17 Dayton Fariview ------.--.,.- -, h..- 9 Centi-al--h,, .--------- --.----- - - 3 Lima South -.------ - -------.,.-, 5 Central .--.------------ -------- 1 3 Kenton ----------------------H-. 316 Central -------------- , ---------- ZOH Piqua -------.-.-..,..-.-.-. ,, -.- 0 Central --..-..-..-------------- 15 Lima South ---.--- -. -----.o..,..d 13 Central---,, ..-.-.---- , ------- --- 5 Lima St. Rose ---------.-.--.-o ,-- 1 Central -------------------- ---- 1 7 Findlay ----------- -. ------.---.- 5 Central -----.-------.--.--- ---- 1 3 Marion Harding --.--...,...-., --, 3M Central .----------.------------ SM Bucyrus -------------- i,---,---,,- 1026 Central -------------------- ---- 4M Lima St. Rose ------------..---.. 3 Central- --------- -- 10 --93 BILL BROWN

Managers and ffzeerleaders v At every athletic contest in which Central participated, a group of faithful cheerleaders could be found waiting their chance. When the opportunity came, during quarters, halves, or time out, they roared into action. Seizing megaphones, they raced before the throng and dis- patched the cheer which had been decided upon. A tumultous cry came from the throat of every loyal patriotic Centralite. Either the two boys, the two girls, or the group as a Whole led the assembled mass in good cheering and the team to victory. Occasionally a cheer was led by an individual from the group. However, it is not to be believed by all easy-going spectators that the life of a cheerleader is mere play. Take into consideration the fact that they practice often and that the motions they go through in guiding the cheer are very tiring. The cheerleaders go to battles, so to speak, in bright uniforms. The skirts and pants are red: and sweaters, which have dragons on the back and lettered megaphones on the front, are white. The four students entitled to wear these varsity uniforms are Joan Lutes, Joan Thomp- son, Bill Fisher, and George McElroy. We might add that they have represented the Alma Mater well, and we all rejoice in the fact that three will return next season. We are sorry to see George McElroy, who is a senior, leave the ranks. The reserve squad is trained to supple- ment just such losses for the varsity. Every team endeavoring to further its athletic standing must have managers. Now some of you may think an athletic manager is something like a department store manager, who is highly respected by his associates and whose job is to keep harmony in his department and issue orders to his subordinates. Well, my friends, you have the wrong slant on things, for our managers are exactly the opposite. To them falls the task of cleaning up after the practices and the scheduled games, setting up the equipment, and refreshing the stalwart lads participating in the battle for supremacy. Very little credit is given the boys who perform these tasks. In recognition for their services, however, they are presented with numerals and letters when their duties are finished, The managing staff for football consists of Mike Davidian, varsity- manager: Walt Bow- man, reserve: and Wilbur Swineford, for the freshmen team. Those contributing their services in that line to basketball were Bill Snook, varsityg Bob Tarr, reserve: and Bill Ralsten and Don McDonald, freshmen. As the spring sports are not yet in full swing, the managers of those sports have not yet been chosen. TREVOR CRAIG ---9 5--
