Place: A Broadway theater after a successful performance of a well-known stage play in which a new star makes her debut. Miss Drittell, Miss Drittell, you are marvelous, stupendous, colossal! These were the shouts which could be heard as the triumphant new stage actress was entering her dressing room after a marvelous performance before greeting the over-joyed public. Hurry, miss, hurry, explained her maid in a tone of eagerness, There are newspaper reporters and hundreds of people waiting to see and congratulate you. if In haste the new actress ,left her dressing room to meet her excited public, After patiently signing a number of autographs, she was suddenly whisked away into an unoccupied room by several anxious reporters. Immediately the shouting and questions commenced. How long have you been acting? Where did you receive your nrst training? Do you like the stage? While these questions were being shouted at her, she was being blinded by the Hash bulbs of the cameras. Overcome by the sudden outburst of noise and with blinking eyes she exclaimed in a tone of exhaustion, One moment, boys, please. I shall tell you all about my acting career if you will only stop shouting. A At once: all noises ceased. In a very gracious manner the actress began, When I was a very small child, I was very interested in acting. I always Wanted to live the lives of other people. As time passed on, I was able to fulfill my desire. My first real experience in acting began when I was in the seventh and eighth grades of Central High School. I was an active member of the Thespian dramatic club in which I learned many fundamentals about acting, In later years I belonged to larger and more famous organizations, and after many years of hard work I have at last reached my goal. Moral: Young actors and actresses, do not despair for you may be the very example of the girl described above. At each meeting the younger group, the seventh grade, presents a play. The directors are chosen by the advisor, and the directors choose the cast. A few plays which the students proudly presented were: They Clean the Attic , The Christmas Gift , How Bobby Put It Over , and That Awful Letter . The advisor of the eighth grade students chooses a play committee from which the direc- tors are appointed. In turn the directors choose their casts, The students proudly boast the following performances: Judy's Jake , Among Us Girls , and Everybody Happy , To vary the programs the eighth grade Thespians present a miscellaneous program every other meeting in which the members display their various talents, HELEN R.

fomme ck!! dab COMMERCIAL CLUB President - - - Mary Burnett Vice President - - - Mary LYH0 Secretary - - - Anna Mae Neuman Treasurer Jeanne McDonald Advisor - - C. R. DeLOI18 Business! Business! Business! l'm screaming business-but I love it. Have you ever heard of Robert's Rules of Order? Sounds impressive, doesn't it? Well, they are certain rules which we future office workers must live up to. How about commercial arithmetic, economics, and oliice practice? Still off on the deep end? I don't think you will ever really know what these mean unless you are in the Commercial Club. We have simply oodles of different business subjects discussed at our meetings. For instance, we have skits and demonstrations on the do's and don'ts of oilice etiquette. That's fun. We learn that chewing gum isn't a cinch for a promotion. In fact, it's a setback. In other words, you haven't got a job to walk to every morning. Have you ever seen that oflice equipment in the commercial, oiiice? Baffles you, doesn't it? We've had demonstrations of those machines, and we are learning more and more about them every meeting. Those silly little scratches, usually called shorthand, which are being taught at Central are really giving us grand opportunities for scrumptious jobs. And that pecking at typewriters, and those calculations of bookkeeping are doing the same thing. The business world is going to need us, and we are going to be ready for them. Let them so much as crook their lingers, and we won't give them a chance to say no. lib dry dab LIBRARY President - - Eleanor' Wildermuth Vice President - - Joy Sltaffner Secretary - - Joan Jennings Treasurer - - - Dolores Edwards Sergeant-at-arms - Pat Barlow Advisor - - - Nathan Dubester Phew! I'm glad to get out of that class! Now where am I headed for? Oh yes-I have to get a report at the school library. At least I'm always welcome there. Think of all the Centralites who use the library. The librarian knows nearly every junior and senior high student. See the new books over there! I wonder what's going on? Pardon me, but is it all right if I come in for a special report? Is something going on? No, we are just preparing for National Book Week-the week in which We try to creater a greater appreciation for books among students. This library work is something. Now to get down to business. Where, shall, I go to find referencework on Lincoln? Ah-here is a group of books, but just as I thought-everything except Lincoln. Wonder what's over there? Nope, this is fiction. Now what does one do in a case like this! Of course--I forgot about the card catalogue and Dewey decimal system which Mr. Dubester explained in our English class. Which card do I want to use-author, title, or subject? Here is exactly what I want all written on a subject card. Guess I'm not so dumb after nll. It'll take a few minutes to jot down this material, and it means an extra grade for me. No wonder Central's library is used by so many students. DOROTHY KOEHLER -1 09-
