VARSITY Betty Newland Bill Geiser Bill Reid Bob Ashba FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE Maclelyn Ehrlick Elizabeth Else Don Stearns Helen Haase' JUNIORS Pauline Kruse Marietta Nichols Betty Newland Joan Lutz Joan Thompson SENIORS Bob Ashba John Jervis Bill Reid Bill Geiser Bernard Miller The question is resolved: That every male citizen should have one year of military training before they reach the present draft age. Now, Students, that is your question. I want you to have your material ready to give two weeks from today and be sure that some take the affirmative and 'others the negative. You will be chosen for the debate team if your speeches are well' prepared. Sofme of you will have the opportunity of speaking before the assembliesi- Well, fancy meeting you here in the library. Are you also hunting material for your debate report? I'm taking the negative. I suppose you're taking the affirmative. I might have known, so we can',t work together. Just think tomorrow we have to give these speeches. I'll be up all night getting mine prepared. Good morrrrrrrning, Betty. I'm so drowsy-good thing I have gym this moring so I can wake up. Well, so long till club. 'iNow, students, I hope all of you have your speeches well prepared, for you are to be judged by some of the faculty of Central. Margaret, you will be first. Ohhh!I gosh, that's mel These steps! It seems as if .there are a million of them coming up to meet me. Now to get to the middle of this stage. I would rather be in a picture show or out dancing, skating, and hiking than here. Ahhem, Mr. Chairman, members of the faculty, and fellow students. I am here behind You-Oh mei I mean before you to bring you the negative side-er the affirmative side of the question. Is that me talking! It sounds like a voice far off. I just can't go on, but I must! I MUST! ll Here I go talking on and on and on. The words just seem to be pouring out. I thank you. Whewl I'fm at last finished. They're clapping! Surely just to get rid of me. I'm going outside to get some fresh air. I think I need plenty of it. I don't think I'll go back in right away because they'll all laugh at me for making such a stupid fool of myself. Oh, here comes Betty. She must have been the second speaker. Say, Margaret, I hope I make enough points to be a member of the National Forensic League. That is the highest honor' one can attain in debating. Did you hear the good news? Our varsity team won the Northwestern Ohio District debate at Troy. On to Columbus! and good luck! RUTH ESTHER MAY ..51...

L'orrro'or Patrol There goes the warning bell and here I am just going into school. Will I ever learn to get up early enough to get to school when the entrance bell rings! Well, seeing what time it is, I had better hurry to my locker. I think I'll run up these steps so I'll have time to talk to Mabel. Oh! Oh! did I hear someone say, XValk up the steps? Okay, next time-and now to see Mabel. There she goes down the hall. Mabel! Mabel! Oh rats, she can't hear me. I'll have to hurry up to catch her. Mabel, come on down to my locker with me. I have some very important things to tell you. You know when I was walking-er-walking pretty fast some girl told me to quit running and to walk up the steps. I bet if she knew how much of a hurry I was in to see you she would' have let me fly up, and did you notice that girl that stopped me when I was running down the hall. Hadn't you girls better go to your home rooms? The warning bell has rungand it's almost time for the tardy bell. Now tocldle on. Mabel, I'll see you in first period class and tell you the news. Well, I wish this home room period was over. Oh! goody, there's the bell-now I'll get to see Mabel. Oh, there she is now. Mabel, here's the news: Mr, Huber is putting me on Corridor Patrol this noon. Street Patrol Well, here I am in this boy's mouth, and he's continually blowing on me. I make those big people and enormous cars obey me at the sound of my voice. You know I've seen and have had many experiences out here in the middle of the street. For instance, many cars come very close to this boy, and I hear many wisecracks given to him for not blowing me when they think he should. I come out here every morning and noon and stay here for fifteen minutes. I'll tell you one thing that gives me a thrill is two trucks passing me at the same time. Sometimes I wish I weren't out here, but when I get to thinking of all the lives I save and of the many accidents I prevent, I quickly change my mind. Many boys in Central respond to my call at the beginning of school to help promote safety. Sometimes more boys respond than Mr. Huber can take care of and then he has to put them in shifts: for example, a different boy at each corner every morning, noon and night. We have much fun on our jobs and wouldn't give them up for anything. RUTH ESTHER MAY -63..
