Before getting into the Dragons Athletic Club every prospective member must take an oath and promise to keep up the aims of the club. The aims of the club are: first, to insure a real school spirit by creating a closer friendship: second, to bring about an understanding of the fundamental rules of athletics and physical education: and third, to co-operate with the school in physical education and the athletic program. This clubl was organized in the year 1938 because many boys felt that they wanted more athletics and gymnastic activities to build up their bodies than could be given to them in a regular physical education class. With the present situation confronting us, America needs more physically fit youths. More established clubs like the Dragons Athletic Club would help make better bodies. During the year 1941-42k the Dragons Athletic Club was a club of high standardg they participated in many athletic contests including floor hockey, basketball, and boxing. The Dragon Athletic Club played many small independent teams like Cairo and Bath Township. l The main attraction of the club, however, was to take a number of boys out of their group to the American Legion Amateur Boxing Tournament. After the fights were all over the Dragons Athletic Club was victorious in winning the flyweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight titles. MILTON KAMIN 197.-

Row 1-Ronald Dotson, Morgan Jones, Emerson Seitz, Walter Binkley Row 2-Walter Marshall, Wade Kraner, George Novotny, Floyd Overholser, Rex Settlernire foacfzes Our coaches might be compared with the generals of an army. They map out campaigns for their men and work far into the night to perfect strategy with which to outwit the opposing team. The coaches labor unceasingly to mak: their boys the best athletes and their teams the finest. l ' Joys and sorrows, victories and defeats-the lot of all who compete for honour come to our generals, our coaches. At Central the individuals who do more worrying than any students do are the coaches. During their respective seasons, these men work feverishly to get their boys in shape and keep them that way. Because of this, Central has always had an upper berth in the sports of the state. First, we have Morgan Jones to thank for our splendid football record this year. He labors long and hard to put the boys through their paces. ln this same field of endeavor we 5nd George Novotny as line coach, and Ronald Dotson as reserve coach with Walter Marshall leading the freshmen to victory. The next sport of the year is basketball with Rex Settlemire as head coach. Floyd Over- holser Blls the position of reserve coach while Walter Marshall is again assigned to the freshmen. Rex Settlemire. with no assistance has created a ine baseball team for Central. Coach Settlemire usually gets what he goes after-clean, sportsmanlike victories. For some years we have had one of the best tennis teams in the state. Much of the credit goes to Wade Kraner. head tennis coach. As freshman tennis coach, Walter Marshall shows his mettle. The position of head track coach belongs to Ronald Dotson, who handles the job very elliciently. Morgan Jones is the assistant coach. Emerson Seitz, last year's golf coach, has become faculty manager of athletics. His job is to arrange our sports schedule and book the teams which we play. Mr. Seitz succeeded to this position when E. A. Hauenstein resigned because his duties as head of the Industrial Arts De- partment had increased. TREVOR CRAIG ,..9 5-
