CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL A FRANKLIN JUNICR HIGH - 4- ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AUDI TORIUM MAIN HALL FRONT STEPS Y 4553? A SIDE ENTRANCE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Ahminiztratiun MR. OFFENHAUER Quiet. reliable, unassuming, manly-these are characteristics which our four years' friendship with Mr. Offenhauer have taught tts to appreciate. Like Lincoln. he loves a joke, tells a story well. lends a warm, personal touch to the performance of the exacting duties of his profession. and above all, te- alizes that every human heart is human. As superintendent of schools he is eminently successful, is respected by the children, is held in high regard by his teaching stali. and is known by parents to be honorable and just. Lima is very fortunate to have him at the head of her schools. MR. LEAC1-1 When artists picture the good ship Education why do they never portray her pilot, the one who charts her course. holds her steadily to it, and brings her, at last. to safe harbor? Such a pilot is Mr. Leach. principal of Central High School, to whom we pay respectful tribute. For four years we have sailed the seas with hint. have weathered storms and calms together. and notv are home. Mr. Leach is a firm adherent to the idea of stu- dent participation and is active in the cause of student government. He faces an issue squarely, thinks it through. then acts judiciously. Schools and nations need such men. MR. POLING Mr. Poling. principal of sistant principal of Central, Junior High :md as- has done a great deal in carrying out the work of our school. Al- though Mr. Poling's time is mostly taken up with Junior High aflaits, he has always been ready to lend a helping hand to Central in case Mr. Leach is absent. The work which he is so ably carrying on is one of the most important works in school activ- ities, He is responsible for the type of students which Central will have iu the near future and this responsibility is a heavy one. However, Mr. Poling is well tittcd for his task because of his years of experience in school administration and his winning personality which are two of the greatest assets of an executive, So with Mt, P01- ing at the helm of Junior High affairs Central may feel assured that the Centralitcs of the future will continue to carry on the duties of their school even better than their predecessors. Andrews Brcese Burrell Cahill Chivingion English Department Dr. Charles W. Eliot declared: I recognize but one mental acquisition as a necessary part of the education of a lady or a gentleman: namely, an accu- rate and refined use of the mother tongue. This great personage of Harvard College, in twentyreight Words. sounds the keynote of required knowledge. In order that this might be accomplished. Athe courses offered provide for the study of the mechanics of English in the first two years and an intensive study of literature and the classics in the last two. The series, Literature and Life, is found to be very interesting and satisfactory. A new feature was added in the forming of a course in public speaking. a subject which many schools of our size even make compulsory. The study has been found to be very valuable, and, as time goes on, very probably will be developed to a greater extent.

Our knowledge of these trials is acquired through the stm of history. By the never-ceasing efforts of historians and teachers we arc fur- nished with the complete trends of events from the beginning of time. Besides the regular courses of Ancient. Medieval, Modern, and American History, a course in Civics is offered. Collateral reading is required in the study of the Springiield Weekly Republican, The Literary Digest, The Scholastic, Loose-leaf Current Topics, and library reports. The study of current events correlates the historical with the present and thus, contact with the problems of both periods is presented to every history student in the school. V' 9 TEACHERS MR.

The learning of a language is the formation of a new mental habit. It does not involve logic or reasoning power. A very young child forms mental habits readily: therefore he can lcarn any, or many, languages with equal facility. The older he grows the more fixed become the mental habits formed, and the less readily he forms new ones. Concentration of all the faculties, then, becomes an essential. Habits are formed only by performances many times repeated. The purpose of the modern languages, French and Spanish, is to give to each student a good working knowledge of the language such as will enable him to understand and make himself understood. Each course offers two years of the study. the first taking care of the grammar and the second providing selection readings. With Latin. the mother of romance languages, a little different purpose arises. lt is to show the relationship between Latin and present-day tongues. Lineal descent is traced. showing how susceptible the languages are to influence. Freshman Latin. Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil arc offered. TEACHERS Miss GUTHISRY, HEAD Miss Deputy Miss Drake Miss Jones Helle Howey Huber Kuville King The Commercial Department V X xx The Commercial department provides courses in bookkeeping, accounting. commercial law, economics. salesmanship, stenography, office practice, and other allied subjects. , It aims to offer the student enough general business information to enable him to meet the many situations that arise in the conduction of a business. The practice and the study of the subjects not only give the pupil a working knowledge of bookkeeping, accountancy. and stenography. but develop initiative, efficiency, reliability, and accuracy. The department sponsors a Commercial Club, founded in 1921, which is always one of the largest in ,membership and activities in the school. Every year there are district and state contests in typing, shorthand, and other commercial subjects. The Central Commercial department always places members in all events. Also under this department. the financial report is made to the Student Council, giving expenditures and receipts of plays, debates, musicals, lecture courses. and publications. s I TEACHERS N MR.

The curriculum offers four semesters of algebra, three of geometry, one of trigonometry, and business arithmetic. This department also aims to develop habits of thought which are logical, orderly, exact. and analytical. Constant effort made on the part of the student for the acquisition of this important division of his mental equipment will. in future years, enable him not only to meet problems independently and to work correct solutions. but to apply the principle of solution to all situations. rg nn Y I TEACHERS MR.

This includes Chemistry, Physics. Biology, the General Science as a required subject for freshmen. ln co-ordi- nation with the textbook material, laboratory experiments are provided. Through visits to local manufacturing plants. and projects of a scientific nature in the home or laboratory, pupils are given the opportunity for the study of the practical side of scientific theories. This work is supplemented by lectures, movies, exhibitions, and periodicals. ln the course of the year each student is required either to construct a project according to scientific principles or to write an essay on some phase of science. Students annually contest for prizes offered by the National Chemical Essay Society. These essays are con- sidered as one of the required projects. Our mission is not to qualify students as expert engineers, chemists, or physicists. but is to make the most eilicient use of the allotted the depart- ment in a thorough and practical course of instruction. Thus the student may be best fitted to apply his knowledge in further study after graduation. TEACHERS MR. EDMISTON, HEAD Mr. Criies Mr. Huber Miss Linnell Mr. Stheuerman Romaker Row Scheuerman Scott Steiner Music and Art Both music and art. since their early establishment. command a predom- inating position in Central life. The fact that the orchestra. whose personnel now reaches nearly forty. is an outstanding factor in music within the city is largely due to the efforts of Mr. C. J. Broadhead, its director. The Central Band deserves much favorable comment for its pleasing ren- dition of music at inter-scholastic events and at concerts given throughout this section of the state. Without doubt much credit goes to its able leader Mr. J. N. DuPere. The glee clubs joined in presening the opera. Chimes of Normandy. by Planquette. It met with success clue extensively to the efforts of Miss Violet Lewis and Mr. Broadhead. The orchestra, band, and glee clubs all took part in eisteddfods in which each played a predominating part. The Central Art Department was organized in 1908 for the encourage ment and appreciation of art within the school. Special art classes meet several times a week. Here work is along the lines of nature study, still life posing designing and lettering. Special work such as programmes and posters for plays is also done. The Art Study Club's work is similar. The club meets once a week for work on themes and projects chosen by the students. Great artists are studied and the students brought to a more full understanding by frequent talks by Mrs. E. Burrell, its supervisor. Undoubtedly there is a great amount of value obtained by the members provided that their work is conscientious TEACHERS Mrs. Burrell. Head Mr. Broadhead, Head Miss Simpson Mr. DuPere Miss Williams Art M usic 2:3 X i Steward Stuart Swcaringen Umbrrit XVarrick Industrial Arts and Home Economics This long established branch of the school is one of the most useful and beneficial parts between its walls. Many students take an Industrial Arts Course or a Home Economics Course both of which require four years of one of these subjects among the credits for graduation. To be able to offer such courses a school must possess ways of teaching. eflicient teachers. and the necessary materials and requirements before offering such a course requiring these things. Since Central fulfills these requirements there is no visible reason why she should not have a division of so high a calibre. In the shop the boys take up a study of a range of industries, especially those pertaining to mechanics. Woodwork of all kinds and descriptions is done by the boys besides the building of radios, molding and other work of the sort. Mr. C. M. Cahill is in charge of this type of work. Architectural and mechanical drawing are given to supply the theoretical side of the course. These are given by Mr. l-lauenstein, the head of the department. The parallel course for girls is work valuable to a home. Here garment making. cafeteria management. interior decoration, millinery and dietetics are studied under Miss Mendenhall the head of the department.

Head Mite XVood Mr. Cahill Miss Richey l Mr, Bricker -J? a l XVatson Whirling XVilliams XVood Physical Education The purpose of physical education is to correct faulty posture, poise. and other physical deficiencies. and to encourage muscular development. health habits, co-operation between mind and muscle, teamwork, and other equally important qualities. The method of securing this result is through class exercises which are to develop the muscles. through apparatus work which develops co-operation and by competitive sports which develops individual resourcefulness. H One year of Physical Education is required for the high school course, 'loop The Library The school library was founded three years ago through the supervision of the school board that the students might have a place of reference for their class work. lt has grown from that time, until it is now a fine library with the regular filing system of larger libraries. and the same system of book loaning. Besides having a great store of volumes, there are papers from distant cities, periodicals, and a great number of scientific magazines and articles which are furnished by the Science Department. The appreciation for this institution is shown by the number of students who attend it every period. TEACHERS Physical Education Library Mr. Umbreit. Head Miss Reilly Mr. Steward Miss Stockdale Miss YVarrick Principal's Foreword This foreword is dedicated to the Spirit of Central. The big building on West High street is not what constitutes Central High School: neither is it the school's courses of study. nor its athletic teams, its debate teams. its music or dramatic clubs. nor its student council. The real Central High School is that intangible but ever important thing which we love to call Central Spirit, It is that thing which gives to the school its individuality. its personality. so to speak. That attitude of mind which char- acterizes its students and teachers. If a spirit of service and helpfulness actuates thc efforts of its teachers toward their students: if a spirit of co-operation and respect is manifest on the part of the students toward their teachers: if the spirit of fair play and work for the sake of work and not for financial gain or glory only, then this Central Spirit will ever be a lasting memorial to the old school of which all can be proud To this end we hope we are striving. We congratulate all students and teachers who are loyal to this purpose. We feel that all friends of Central owe a debt of gratitude to the Seniors compile this Annual Mirror This book will bc a Hne monument to their efforts and a priceless treasure to all who helped promote tht Central Spirit during the school year of 1927 28 H.

We have endeavored through our actions, our activities. and our accomplishments to co-operate with our fellow men. Through life this should he our highest aim, both in business and in private life. This school of ours is merely a small city in which we associate with our fellow students as though we were in the business of actual life. We have reached the age where our policies and habits of life shall go on with little alteration. If these are not good we should strive to correct them and if they are good we should toil to make them better. But while we are doing this, we should endeavor to co-operate with our associates. To those who will pass from the portals of Central: may they accomplish their purpose: and may they enjoy the fruits of perpetual happiness. ' To those who shall remain within the doors of Central: let them strive to make it a better, a nobler and a richer place in which to live: let them enjoy to their fullest capacity the advantages offered: and let them learn. that they may be fitted for a. greater and larger life. Students! These things are the expectations of those who have taught us. these the hopes of our patents, upon these rest the faith of humanity. Let us do them diligently, nobly. and successfully.

At this time in our lives we must pause and deliberate upon the furthering of our enlightenment. No longer may faithful instructors point out to us the right from the undesirable: they have instilled in us the spirit to achieve they have guided us well but here the road widens and becomes complex the way is unmarked and we must bring into use those faculties for hought which we have cultivated and developed during our last, brief, four years To predict the limits of what we may attain when the intellectual contributions of these four years become vitalized. could be only partial and remains for the future to disclose We as members of the class of twenty-eight. have concentrated our efforts toward an imaginary goal We have attempted no radical changes in the existing traditions and ideals of our school but have only furthered such con- ditions as far as our ability permitted. Thus we can point to no concrete result of our labor but we earnestly believe and hope that our standard will be the more compelling because of its invisibility-the result of our labors lies in the finding of ourselves And so in passing on we the members of the class of twenty-eight, leave this message to those who shall walk the paths we have tread. Aim high, apply yourselves utilize your time by the concentration of your efforts, and you will attain the heights you seek. WILLIAMS ROBERTS.

THE OTHER FOURTEEN . P :X s X X S ' xx 1, Ns - W V 4'--7 5-it cilfillfiiiltflia Senior Class History If me could look back four years and see about live hundred and fifty with his pile of books we might pick out ourselves standing there in front of the dear old school awed at the dignity of the Seniors, the boldness of the Juniors and the feigned nonchalance of the Sophomores. In ignorance. we followed the upper classmen up the front steps. But in vain, for this of course was what every Sophomore was watching for. We then were 'informed of our mistake, and escorted with the least possible politeness and gentle- ness to our own doorway. ln the Field Meet the class placed third. and tied the Sophomores in the football game. Four members of the class won coveted places in the Troubadourian Dramatic Society. Several members distinguished themselves in athletics and music. When the sun set. thereby ending our Freshman year. we all agreed that it brought to a close a very successful year. We once again gathered to choose our leaders for our coming year. After a close competition, William Roberts was again chosen as our president: William Bannister was elected vice president: Wilfred Brunk, secretary: and Robert Knisely, treasurer. Miss King led us tranquilly through our Sophomore year. During the year our members distinguished themselves and their class by winning places in dramatics, debates. music, and athletics. This year the class stood above the other three classes in scholarship. On Field Day we climbed to second place by the untiring efforts of our warriors. Places on both the Weekly and Annual Mirror Staffs were filled by members of our class. As the heavy doors closed on our Sophomore year we again reviewed a successful year. The following fall we re-entered school with a purpose in mind. to pre- pare ourselvcs to take up the' job that the Seniors leave for next year. We gathered again on the front steps speaking now with ease, to the Seniors. and our girl friends. As we filed into school we noticed our numbers had depleted somewhat. much as the leaves in the Autumn drop because of frost. Still our friends were there. so.we went forward as before. Again we met and elected our officers. Because of the faithful work of William Roberts for thefirst two years we re-elected him as president. This year the girls fared better ,and succeeded ,to place two girls in offices. Helen Van Wormer as vice president and Grace Karr as secretary. William Bannister was chosen treasurer. Still the spirit of the class led the mem- bers 'to participate in various activities. Again the class ranked high in scholarship. Several members wonkthe coveted C signifying work on some athletic or debating team. The associate editor of the Annual and Weekly Mirrors were chosen from the class. 'Polly With A Past was presented as the annual Junior play. This year the class was not so fortunate on Field Day, but it succeeded in getting third place again. The Junior Hop was successful.

During the middle of the year the Junior class was very influential in helping thc Senior class establish Student Participation. Members were duly elected to seats in the Student Council. The year ended by bidding mild fair wells to our Senior friends. As we left the school for the summer we suddenly realized that our desire was to be fulfilled. to become Seniors. In our first meeting of the year we followed the precedent we established and elected Williant Roberts again as president. Mary Austin. representing the girls was elected vice president: John Black, secretary: and Richard Pew, treasurer. This year Miss Chivington advised the Seniors and helped them to solve their problems concerning school. The Seniors took charge of electing the new Student Council. The correct number of members was elected. to fulfill the wants of the student body. The Honor Study Halls were organized and the Seniors did their part to make them what they should be. The editors took their respective places with their staffs and prepared for a year of hard work. At the Field Meet we won first place through ardent efforts of all the members of the class. A little excite- ment was stirred up by a few rascally Seniors, wanting a little fun. We again showed among the numbers on the scholastic list. We were well represented on our championship teams. In music. and debating we still ranked high. In dramatics our class showed up especially well in all the plays that were presented with exception to the Junior Play. In the Follies presented by the Student Council the Seniors found places to display their talent. Merely Mary Ann. one of the best dramas of the age. was presented by the Seniors for their annual play. Finally as the year came near the end thc Senior Dinner-Dance came off. Miss Chivington. it was reported, was serving her last year as Senior Supervisor. We wish Miss Chivington happiness for all time to come. for never has a supervisor been any more enthusiastic for us nor sympathetic toward us. As the time came to choose the college or university where we would continue our study, we began to realize just what all this studying and preparation had been for. At last Commencement rolled around and we all dressed up to hear the words spoken which were to officially end our high school careers. Then suddenly there came that thought which probably has come to every graduating class. the real meaning of Commencement -a beginning and a start: not an ending or a finish. It is only the beginning of a new stage of life: we have graduated into a new and more advanced life. We must go forward! We cannot stand still! Those coming on must have room: so, we must make room and at the same time prosper. Therefore. we as a class, wish to be esteemed by the coming class. and we feel as Longfellow said, that Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And. departing. leave behind us. Footprints on the sonds of time. Yi CLASS SONG Ol 1928 E fi sf I W na Ann Music - , Ho A D Wu MAN iv D 1 --,Qi :1-'1'1.'l1 i- 2:5 --Ee-:-:ees-'A '::s - uif iii!

HERE IS THE OTHER HALF OF THEM junior Class Two years ago last fall the football team of the class of 1929 defeated the Sophomores with a score of 6 to 5, thus starting a remarkable career, After this victory the Freshmen were given free run on the front Steps. a liberty which very few Freshmen classes have enjoyed. The pilots of the class for its first year were: president, Dorothy Mechling: vice president, Harry Adams: secretary. Margaret Davidson: and treasurer, James Thompson. Every activity of the school has been well supported by this class. During its Freshmen year many of its members went out for athletics and all the other extra-curricular activities of the school. Dale Varner. while yet a Freshman, received a football letter which is indeed a mark of great athletic ability. When the class attained the dignified position of Sophomores it chose Don Faurot, president: Margaret Davidson. vice president: James McKee, secretary: and Eleanor Sherrick, treasurer. In that year the class took second place in the field meet, placed two men on the varsity football team, two on the basketball team, and several on the three spring sports teams. Not only was the class well represented in athletics. but in other student activities as well. The Sophomores supplied a wealth of material for the Mirror staff, the Troubadours, and the Masqueraders. They turned out well for varsity debate and managed to place one boy on the team, which is usually composed of Juniors and Seniors. They eagerly supported the movement for student participation and when the Student Council was established. chose as their representatives. David Evans, Don Faurot. William Fowler and Dale Varncr. Last fall, members of '29 entered the ranks of upperclassmen and began really to take their places in the life of Central. Their representatives on the Student Council were the same as those of the preceding year with the addition of two girls, Margaret Davidson and Eloise Brown. Their oflicers were. president. James Thompson: vice president. David Evans: secretary. George Wood: and treasurer. Dorothy Mechling. They placed several men on the varsity athletic teams. In debating. Roland Silverman. George Dunn, and Charles Weber made the varsity team. It was this year that the class made its first dramatic attempt--an extremely successful one. They presented as their Junior play, The New Poor, with Eleanor Sherrick and Edwin Kasson as the leads. With such a record behind them it is to be expected that the class of 1929 will be a successful Senior class. Dale Varner will be captain of both the football and basketball teams. Under his leadership these teams should equal thclrecord set this year, Gibson Dildine and John Wittenbrook are to be editor and business manager, respectively, of the Weekly Mirror. while George Wood and William Fowler will fill those same positions on the Annual staH. Dale Varner, as temporary chairman, will supervise the organization of the new Student Council. It is our wish that the class of '29 may be successful in whatever it undertakes.

SOME MORE OF THEM N - Y-2 The Sophomore Class When the doors of Central were opened early in the fall of 1927, a new horde of sophomores were to be seen promenading up and down the front steps. self conscious in their supreme gloryl But one year before these great sophomores' had entered the same building feeling afraid and very much in As freshmen they learned that Central was not, as they had formerly thought, an institution to be feared and to be held in awe, but rather an institution to be loved and respected. This reason added to the fact that they had become just sophomores has gixen them the ease of manner and mind that they now possess. the way. Do you ask the reason for this difference? The answer is simple. As was the custom, they met as Freshmen and elected officers. They elected: Fred Horn, president: Janet Sealts, vice president: Rhea Rohn. class secretary: Francis Failor, class treasurer. They elected for the student council, Jack Raudabaugh and Bob Blue. As freshmen they developed no outstanding leaders. but they showed all the pep and zeal that any other freshman class had ever showed. But as sophomores they put away childish things and entered into the spirit of the school in earnest. They chose as their year's officers a very efficient crew. namely: Eldon Basinger, president: Henry White. vice president: Andrew Gruber. class secretary: Bob Blue, class treasurer. Owing to the fact that Eldon Basinger, the class president, moved from the city during his own administration. Henry White the vice president, became president. As members of the student council Alice Hilty Mona Vittur. Dick Black. Bob Blue, a fine group of legislators who are prominent in scholarship and extra-curricular activities were chosen The record of the sophomores in scholarship has been remarkable. James Blackburn .lack Gushman Florence White, Kenneth Hutchinson, Althea DeKalb Calvin Koch Alice Hilty Mona Vittur have made remarkable records for themselves Several members of the class have participated in dramatics. namely: J-me Taylor Jane Nhthews Jack Gushman. ln musical activities Maxine Williams has had the two leading roles in Princess Bonnie and Chimes of Normandy. Maxine Williams also sang at the debates and represented Central in the Eisteddfod as soprano soloist. Althea DeKalb also played at debates and represented Central as violin soloist. Bob Blue has been a cheer leader for two years, and has the honor of being head cheer leader Thus it may be seen that although the sophomore class has developed no individual it has divided its honors among itself, thus making a well organized class which we hope will go far. ilkrahmvn fVLXl!

K xx Freshman Class History The Freshman Class, because of its very recent entrance into the Senior High School. has not evolved an extensive history: but, nevertheless, it has submitted one most worthy of notation for its scholastic record and whole- hearted participation in those activities open to under-classmen. The curriculum of the ninth year includes Latin grammar, first year Algebra, the first book of the Literature and Life series, Physical Education and Commercial studies. By this course of selected studies the new-comets to the Senior High School are assisted in beginning their work by a not too pro- nounced diversity from their Junior High scholastics, but merely a continu- ance of their former education on n higher plane with the addition of only one or two new phases. Miss Reed officiates as supervisor of the class. The class of '31 entered vigorously into athletics, organizing class teams in basketball. volley ball, and other minor sports. Field Day was not especially satisfactory as far as results, but the numbers that took part gave ample proof of the interest the Freshmen had. their spirit redeeming any defeat they encountered and enabling Central to hope for great things in years to come from a class with such determination. Dramatics has made it possible for those interested to expend their efforts in acquiring stage presence and poise before an audience. Activities in this line have brought forth considerable talent. During their Junior High career The Princess of Poppy Land was presented and some of the Freshmen students have been in plays given by the dramatic clubs. Knowing that what 1931 is to bring to the Freshmen is now in the making, a very successful future may be predicted. filnninr High EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE 0 :X N - Yi Franklin Junior High School is composed of the seventh and eighth year pupils. Mr. Poling. the principal, is assisted by a faculty of twenty-three teachers. Altogether. thtre are twenty-two groups of students. The curriculum olfers English, General Mathematics, the Socieal Sciences- Geography and History, Physical Education with Related Hygiene, Art, Music. Exploratory Course in Latin, Home Economics and Industrial Arts. Each student's schedule is supposed to contain four majors: English, History, Music. and Physical Education. A great deal of emphasis is placed upon library research work. The Central Library serves for both Junior and Senior High. Junior High History Junior High is just what the name implys. As much inter-class rivalry is prevalent here as there is in her big sister, Central Senior. During the noon hour, games are played between their classes and between the various groups. At the end of the year. keen interest is shown by each class in the aim to have the largest Honor Roll. This Roll consists of the names of the students receiving ones through the entire year. There is as fine a spirit among them for our side of the building as there is among ourselves. The mass meetings are very interesting. The time set for these is Thurs- day and they are carried on as much as is possible by the students themselves. Sometimes special speakers are procured. and. during the year. the clubs put on plays. debates, and various other entertainments. The History Department gives a program on Thanksgiving and the English on Christmas: the Music Dtpartment prtstnts an optrttta and the Physical Education takes part in an exhibition Ont of tl t cutstancing events of this last year was the presentation of Hansel and Grtltl a three act operetta. in the Central High auditorium on Ftbruary 3 l928 The music nas in charge of Miss Mable Williams, and Miss Jeanette Stuart suftrused the dramatics. The proceeds were used to purchase books and equipment for the school. Reginald Howe took the part Sandmcn Deva men Witclats and Cooky Children. Another similarity to Senior High is in the organization of clubs. These are started at the beginning of the school year and continue until Easter. The faculty supervises them and gain as much pleasure from them as the students do The following held meetings every two weeks: Seventh and Eighth Year Dramatics Girls Glec Toy and Boat. Fancy Stitch. Boys' Gym, Arts and Craft Ukt Girls Gym, Industrial, Short Story, and Cartooning. Thus Franklin Junior High School has completed another successful year judged from the standpoint of school spirit, participation in activities. and scholarship of Hansel and Edna Paul that of Gretel.

At the close of the school year there were about two hundred members enrolled. The purpose this year was to provide finances to pay the debt incurred by rebuilding the tennis courts and. with the remainder, the expenses for the equipment of the various teams. Not only for the monetary side of the question was this Association formed, but also for the improvement of cheering and school spirit. Thus. the large group of students interested in following the games can be classed in one body and led by representatives. In this way co-operation is obtained and the group. acting as a unit. can exercise more power and undertake such projects otherwise impossible. At the first meeting Lowell Livingston was named president. William Snow was vice president, while Richard Pew was elected secretary. A Board of Control, whose duty it was to act on vital questions, was also chosen. The Board consisted of H. W. Leach, E. A, Hauenstein, W. E. Umbreit. H. W, Scheuerman. Lowell Livingston. William Snow, Richard Pew, and the captains of the football, basketball, track and baseball teams respectively. The money received from dues is hardly sufficient to meet all expenses. For this situation. shows have been given at various times during the year. These were: The Only Way: The Henry Co. Magicians: and, My Best Girl. Both Senior and Junior High supported these. For the furthering of athletics in Central High, the importance of the Athletic Association cannot be under-estimated. 6545 - o OFFICERS JOHN BLACK ---.. . President WILLIAkl ROBERTS - - Vice President ROBERT JONES - - Secretary-Treasurer Cn Association of Central The C Association of Central High School was organized in 1922 by Mr. R. J. Thiebert, then head coach at Central, and has this year been successfully guided under the supervision of Mr. E. A. Hauenstein. faculty manager of athletics. The Association is an organization whose main purpose is the further- ance of good sportsmanship by encouraging conscientious effort in athletics. Membership in the organization is accessible for all those who have earned a letter in any major sport. The acquisition of the C is symbolical of meritorious participation in the Held of sports, and those possessing it have realized an ample reward for their attainments. The principal benefit derived from being acknowledged as a C member is an opportunity to co-operate with the faculty manager of athletics in promoting clean and honest sports- manship, and try establishing a worthy regard for their school in the estimation of the sport world. This year the C Association has extended the range of its activities and enacted a play. The increase of its prestige during the present year coupled with the splendid success included in its past, embodies a record to which future athletics may refer with pride. N . X xx 0 A Steward. Umbreit Sclieuernmn Our Coaches Without someone to teach and to inspire our teams to victory. the sports of our high schools would be noticeably lacking in sportsmanship and in determination This sportsmanship, and the spirit to win. is directly traceable to the three head coaches of this year's teams. A great deal of credit is due to Coaches Umbteit Scheuerman and Steward for the records that Central High School has made in all of her major sports this year. Our head football and track coach was VV. E. Umbreit. In both of these sports he developed teams which left behind them enviable records. During the entire length of both the football and track season he had a large squad at work every evening Starting with six lettermen at the beginning of the eason he whipped into shape a teim whose record shall long be enviable. In track although he had only a few lettermen, he developed several younger athletes who will improve our teams in later years. Coach Umbreit had a big place to Ell but he has done it vuth great success. XVithout a doubt Coach H W. Scheuerman has developed one of the best basketball teams that Central has ever had. Around a nucleus of six letter men he built 1 team which took its opponents off their feet because of fast and effective floorwork This was his second year as basketball coach and he was known to his plavers as a friend as well as a coach. Seven of his eight varsity men will graduate this year so we wish him luck in building up a team which will be as good as if not better. than this year's team. Steward was our head baseball coach and assistant football coach. Al- though this was his first year at Central. we soon recognized that he knew his football and baseball His sunny disposition and quick wit soon made him 1 friend to all his players and aided materially in the development of his players ability 'Wt 7 I I A tes Q Hilty Allison Mikesell Managers The managers. although seemingly unimportant to those in the grand- stand. are almost invaluable to their teams. For the hard work and the great amount of time which they put in with the team they are considered by the players much as if they were team-mates. Their numerous duties include taking care of the equipment at home. seeing that it is fully packed for the trips Ollt of-town. taking care of the medicine kit. and balls, and in attending the minor managers perform but they help to show how important they are to the teams In football, because of the size of the squad, two head managers were appointed: Eddie Allison and Jim Mikesell. Eddie, although he was our diminutive manager, was a hard worker and was well-liked by all the players Jim was also an efficient manager, well-liked by the players because of his ready assistance and his willingness to work. These two were helped by assistant manager, Richard Zay. In basketball Henry Hilty carried out the duties of head manager: he was assisted by Emerson Arganbright, Frank Bentz, and Joe Marmon. Henry carried out his duties in flawless manner and was a great help to the team in their victories during the season. Besides the head managers much can be said about the assistants. They must take a great many orders and perform a great deal of the dirty work However. this is only preparatory and many of them will in future years take on the responsibility as head manaers. injuries of the players. These are only a few of the many duties which the at Ax b 1 , 'ffl r f . .7 ..iQ'.'. 235: .- , Q 4,'.,f.,X'f.fk W Pursell-King Swisher-Blue Siferd-MacConkey Cheerleaders Being a cheerleader is by no means a soft job. It requires no little nerve to lead a cheer when the fans are in a mocking or jeeting mood. The cheer- leaders this year have accomplished much in the way of breaking the crowd of the habit of cheering at the wrong time. They have successfully staged several snake dances. the one before the Thanksgiving game surpassing any other in the history of the school. They have inaugurated several new cheers and should be congratulated on the way in which they have undertaken their task and their success in accomplishing their goal. Bob Blue, the head cheerleader. certainly was a peppy leader. He well deserves his position as head cheerleader and his success will no doubt earn him the same position next year. Susan Swisher, the other head cheerleader, surely led a mean cheer. When Susie came out for a cheer the crowd yelled whether it was hoarse or distracted. We certainly shall miss her. - Charley King, our veteran cheer leader, was strong on that bull-dog yell. Charley was with us quite a few years and he also could make the gang take a fit of yelling. Dodo Pursell may be a demurc maiden but when she came out for a ,cheer and said yell, she meant it and how the gang would yell. lt's too bad she's a senior. Barbara Siferd or Bobby as she is better known was what we might call a novice but she surely knew her cheers. She was very impressive when leading yells and that counts. Norman. Normie McConkey also served his first year as cheerleader. It is indeed gratifying to know that he will no doubt be on the staff of cheer leaders again to arouse the gang. LOWELL WPJGLEY Captain, 1927 iHnntlm11 M.- . C. l R I N xx an The Football Squad In praise of the 1927 football season. much credit must be given to Coaches Umbreit and Steward through whose efforts the big Dragon squad was developed into a team of tremendous offensive charge and impregnable defensive power It was these two men whose practical knowledge of the game perfected the Dragons style of play The needs of the team were taken care of through the hearty co-oper- ation of the managers These men were rewarded with that much coveted emblem the C The first squad met with the greatest success during the season, and passed without defeat through the hardest regular schedule a Central team has ever had The big Central team which was the lines: all-round team Central has boasted used the forward pass attack to perfection, but employed rushing tactics for most of the gains At the end of the regular season. although Central had tied three games she was one of the two schools in the state to possess an unbeaten eleven The reserves must be commended for the splendid spirit they showed throughout the season These men not only prepared the first team for its way to victory but gained a reputation for themselves through their own scheduled season in which they broke about even in games won and lost.

After sexcral exchanges of punts the ball was ours, on our own seven-yard line. In trying to kick the ball to safety, Wrigley stepped behind our goal line and attempted to kick out of danger. Our line now made a good imitation of a sieve and L. Bowers blocked the punt before it barely left the kicker's foot. Hargrove recovered on the six-yard line. After four plays, Waggoner drove across the line and South had scored its first touchdown against Central since 1922. The fourth quarter amounted to nothing until Varner went around end for a gain of 40 yards. McNamara. the last man between Varner and a touchdown got his man. Shortly afterwards, our pass was intercepted and it was all over with for Central. 2-.4 The 1927 Football Season Bluffton, Bucyrus, Middletown, Dayton Roosevelt, Findlay, Ada. Van Wert, and South. That is the schedule that the best football team Central has ever had, went through, during the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty- seven. The fact that it suffered only one defeat. that at South on Thanks- giving Day, proves what a remarkable team represented Lima Central through- out the western part of Ohio. Mr. Umbreit, who served as assistant to Coach Moffett last year. was made head coach when Moffett accepted a position at Depauw University. Upon returning to Lima in the fall Coach Umbreit issued a call for practice. About one hundred fellows, darkened by the summer sun reported. In this group was a bunch of seasoned line material that had been developed by Coach Nloffet the year before. It was up to Coach Umbreit to construct a backfield with Dale Varncr as the nucleus. This he did and a great deal of credit should be bestowed upon him. On September seventeenth the team traveled to Bluffton to open the season. The game was a comparatively easy one and many substitutions were rrgxdgxy It was in this game that Wrigley was discovered to be a backlield n . . CENTRAL 32-BLUFFTON O The iirst visiting team that came to Central's Held was Bucyrus. On September twenty-fourth, the plucky little group of fellows from Central Ohio demonstrated just how football should be played. The day was hot and the field dry so our fellows, who were much heavier than Bucyrus. were penalized many times for delaying play. The bright point of this game came when Weaver received a kick-off and raced to Bucyrus' twenty-yard line before being downed CENTRAL 6-BUCYRUS 6 The next week Centnl drove to Middletown. Here the fellows played under a decided handicap The bus in which they were traveling had tire trouble and the fellows were not able to get a good dinner. As the day was hot many of the team became sick during the game. Middletown was more aggressive and during the third quarter after a march down the Held succeeded in scoring but failed to register the point after goal. After another march down the field it seemed that the Middies were due to score again, but all at once when they were on Centrals five-yard line Varner came rushing out of the midst of them with a recovered fumble, and ran ninety-five yards for on even terms each scoring a goil but missing the kick. CENTRAL l2-MIDDLETONVN 12 Dayton Roosevelt came to Lima on October eight. Central showed a decided improvement over the previous weeks and seemed to have the pep that had been lacking Last year Roosevelt defeated Central 28-16. Much of the credit for that win went to Embrey. a colored lad. This year. how- ever he was watched so closely that the Teddies' attack was weakened to a great degree Central outplaymg the Teddies came within scoring distance several times but lacked the necessary drive to go over. Wrigley tried a Held goal and failed Roosevelt punted, but Steiner blocked the kick and fell ' 8:5 a touchdown. The kick was wide. In the fourth quarter both teams played on the ball scoring a touchdown for Central. E, Bowlus made the extra point, Late in the third quarter Embrey got away on a run and made a touchdown. Westfall made the point after goal. CENTRAL 7-ROOSlEVELT 7 Findlay came to Lima on Saturday, October twenty-second and was expecting to go home with the victory theirs. They were sadly mistaken. Central let loose its attack on the kick-off but fumbled. Findlay recovered and scored. ln the second quarter Central tied the score and everyone feared that this would be another tie game. However on the first play of the third period Central scored a touchdown on a long pass. Wrigley to XVeaver. Varner made the extra point. In the last part of the game the Dragons let the fans know that their attack was deadly. Varner plunged for a goal and Weaver made the point. Then Shank intercepted a pass and made a beautiful exhibition of dodging when he went through the whole Findlay team and ran seventy- two yards to score a goal. The kick for point after goal was good. CENTRAL 27-FINDLAY 6 Fostoria was the next to fall before the Dragons' powerful eleven. Cen- tral was followed by a good crowd and the spirit shown was fine. Weaver. Wrigley. and E. Bowlus featured this game. Weaver received two passes from Wrigley and raced ninety-five yards for touchdowns both times. Bowlus received many passes and scored twice. Black scored the other goal. It was in this game that Central's passing attack was discovered to be nearly perfect. The Reserves accompanied the team and many of them were in the game. CENTRAL '54-FosToRiA 0 Ada came as Ccntral's guest on November fifth and was decidedly out- classed. Their team was very light and deserves a great deal of credit for the game that it played. The game was an easy one and all of the Reserves were in the game during three quarters. The varsity started the game but were taken out after playing about five minutes. They were put back into the game during the last quarter for about three minutes . CENTRAL 66--ADA 0 Central went to Van Wert on Armistice Day to battle a team coached by Ralph McGinnis. a former Central coach. The game was comparatively easy and the fellows were not forced to expend themselves very much CENTRAL 47--VAN WERT' 0 The following week was an open date because of the fact that the South game is played on Thanksgiving. Everything was in readiness and all of the dope favored Central, Plans had been made to play a post-season game with Canton McKinley for State field. As our fellows had never played on a wet field they didn't know how to act. South had played on muddy fields twice and therefore had the advan tage. Waggoner played a brilliant game for South and scored the only marker CENTRAL O-SOUTH 6 It was a hard pill to swallow after such a successful season We must remember that the football team of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven was the best that Central has ever had! May she have many more of the same calibre! Championship. But on the eve of the big game it rained and soaked the I I ' ' I nr Al? D me Zfiemkrthall The 1928 Basketball Squad The basketball squad of l928 saw a more successful season than any previous Central High team. At the outset, Coach Scheuerman had a nucleus of five letter-men. Black. Roberts, Shank, Varner, and XVrigley. To this group he added Weaver, Nice, and Jones: with this material he built a team which has marked an epoch in the athletic history of Central. Only one of these men. Varner, will be back next year. The Dragons were defeated but four times during the longest and hardest basketball season which Central thus far has faced. The teams which were able to do this were Portsmouth, Lima South. Toledo XVoodward. and Fostoria. However. the red and green lighters defeated South in two other games and Fostoria once. The climax of the season came at the Class A tournament at Bowling Green. Here Central waded through the hardest schedule in the tournament to place two players on the all-tournament team. win the city championship, and to win first place in the tournament. To do this the team had to beat Findlay, Lima South. Lima St. Rose, and Ada. The two intra-city games were. even to outsiders. by far the most exciting games played, At Bowling Green our team played the best brand of basketball it had used during the whole season. As a result it was considered by authorities as one of the leading contenders for the state championship. The next step was the tournament at Findlay. There Fostoria eliminated Central in the first game, The players just suddenly went basketball-stale. They were tired and it seemed to be Fostoria's good-luck day. Nevertheless. all Central knew what an exceptional team the school had and each student was properly appreciative of its efforts. There is one man without whose services such a team probably would not have existed. That one is Coach Scheuerman who has put forth his very best efforts in the two years he has been at Central. L1 N - Yi The 1927 Z8 Basketball Season Our basketball team has just finished one of the most successful seasons in the history of Central High School. The record which the team has made places her undeniably among the best high schools in Ohio. This record of suenteen wins out of twenty one g1mes shall long be a mark at which future Central teams can aim The season began in tarnest when Marion Harding and Bowling Green latter by the score of 35 to 32 The ntrt tuo games vttre played against Findlay and Toledo Waite. Findlay was defeated by a score of Z6 to I2 after they had been held to two points during the Hrst half The following night Toledo Waite was forced to bow by 1 score of 39 to 28 to the almost perfect offensive and defense dis- played by the Dragons Still the series of hard games did not stop for the next week we met Fostoria and Portsmouth Fostoria was defeated by our team through a sensa- tional inish after a rather slow game but by Portsmouth we were given our first defeat to the time of 22 to 36. It was a hard game to lose but the usual snap and clever floorwork of the team seemed to be lacking. ' Then came the Hrst of the games with South. The large crowd which was massed in the Central gym was in a continual uproar thruout the game. Although at the end of the Grst half Central was leading only by a few noints. it was certain that South could not hold them in check very long. During the second half by quick passes and accurate shots they gradually drew away from South. until the Hnal gun showed the score 36 to 22. The next evening Toledo Woodxvard handed us our setback of the season by the score of 23 to 29. However some of the blame can be placed on the large floor and the fact that the boys had exerted themselves to the limit to defeat South the night before. As if to avenge this defeat the Dragons then won four straight games in two weeks. from Ada. Defiance, Piqua, and St. Marys. The smooth passing and the impenetrable defense made them almost invincible. The second South game did not end as favorably for us as the first. for the following Friday when they played we were defeated by a score of 19-28. The fast passwork was lacking and the team did not seem to play with their usual brilliancy. The final game before the tournament was played against Dayton Steele. After the defeat of the week before the team was a little cautious but they soon found their stride, took a comfortable margin. and kept it to win by a score of 36-22. There followed this game a week of strenuous practice in preparation for time ltournaments. with a result that every player was in perfect condition for tae rays. The climax of the entire season was the winning of the sectional tour- nament at Bowling Green the next week, Although Central drew the most difficult position in the entire tournament. the Dragons came through with flying colors. having beaten Findlay. South, St. Rose and Ada. At the regional tournament the next week, Central was defeated by Fostoria in the first game. The uncanny shooting of Fostoria together with the fact that the Dragons had not yet recovered from the tournament the Week before led to their defeat. a r v ' I .

' C i 1 GENE FAST T and Ten Spring Smarts, 1927 er X xx 0 Track The year 1927 was one of the most outstanding track seasons in the annals of Central High School. This is not because of easily won victories in meets nor of extremely notable achievements of a small group of men but of the co-ordinative efforts of the whole team and the fecund brain of the new track coach. Mr. Don C. Moffet, Undoubtedly the conscientious and ingenious efforts which he put forth cannot be over-estimated. In the meets with Bryan, Lima South, Bluffton, Shawnee. at the district meet at Ada and 1t the State Meet held in Columbus, Central was largely victorious But those victories were all hard won and were seldom gained by a great margin This was largely due to the fact that many of the letter- men of the preceding year were not with Central and the load rested upon the shoulders of capable but less experienced material. About the lirst of April the call for track aspirants was issued and approx- imately Hfty responded Practice was held in the gym until the weather con- ditions wert. favorable for outside practice, This was not long as the team was at serious work at the College Field within a week. Little dilficulty was met throughout the entire season through inclement weather and other hindrances of the sort In proof of the presence of extreme and highly exercised co-ordination and the lack of outstanding track stars there were eleven men able to receive the required fifteen points to get a letter. Those'acquiring letters were: John Black 28 Richard Towe '27: Emil Chiles, 'Z7: Eugene Fast, '27: Willis Stferd 27 William Roberts, '28: Glen Boyles, '28: Robert Jones, '28: Gorden Stoner Z7 Elroy Geiger, '29: Richard Hobbs, '27, Besides these. twelve others reccned the necessary points for numerals. Undoubtedly the greatest value in this year of track lies in that it has created a revolution in this spring sport within the school. This fact prepares the may for larger successes in that it has taken on a great deal of capable material that will remain within the school next year to repeat her frequent victories of preceding years '91 ? f U ,1 as 7 X819 331.32517 - Baseball Season Baseball, our national game, has developed rapidly at Central during the last two years. Formerly the sport was ranked as a minor event but this year it was advanced into the spotlight of major athletics. its rightful place, because of the enthusiastic endeavors of the students backing it. This new change in the prestige of baseball has made possible certain desirable advancements in this field of sports. The first of these is the new diamond on which Central plays her home games, This factor does more than anything else to establish baseball at Central. because with an excellent place to play the interest in baseball will increase, The second change is that the participants receive letters for their work for the red and green. These letters show the appreciation of the student body for the efforts the lads put forth and with appreciation from their school the efforts will increase These changes accomplished the object of their initiation by first bringing out a team which proved to be a winning combination and second by directing the attention of the student body toward this sport making inevitable the interest needed to continue this game. Our coach, Mr. Umbreit, deserves the credit for the fine showing the team made in its initial year. With new material our coach made a team which went through the season with a record of which a veteran team would not have been ashamed. The team itself was distinguished by the remarkable number of stellar players produced. With our peerless Wrigley on the mound the pitching position was killed by a man who was known not to allow hits. The team that played back of Wrigley was composed of star players which were moulded into a smoothly running combination, The men on the squad who received letters were Chiles, Hayes. Schlott Eberwein, Welty, Raudabuagh, Wrigley, Towe. and Hobbs. Each of these men played the required number of innings and gave their best for their school Numerals were awarded Koch. Jolley, Lyle, and Morris With a start like this, baseball at Central should continue to grow from year to year until it ranks among the highest fields of athletic endeavors Tennis Squad and Season, 1927 The first year of tennis as a varsity sport turned out to be a huge success and no longer an experiment. At the first of the season Mr, Scheuermau issued the call for aspirants for the team and at once serious work was begun under his coaching at the Lost Creek courts. Matches were scheduled with schools of Bowling Green. Bluffton, and several other towns in this part of the state. Besides these, Coach Scheuerman sent Past and Hupp to the State Tournament at Columbus. Although making no phenomenal display there. the team was very successful throughout the entire season, as it won all but a few of the matches scheduled. At the end of the season letters were given to the members of the team, which included the following: Fast. Hupp, Clark, Zuber. Bannister, and Motter. Every night the team would practice for several hours on their strokes and ways of improving their games. A great deal of practice was done on doubles as well as single matches and both were worked out to an excellent degree. Surely much credit for the teams success goes to Mr. Scheuerman whose large knowledge of the game and untiring efforts did a great deal in developing the players. A DILL A., 1927-1928 mnmrnki Athlrtirz Girls' Athletic Association In the fall of 1925 Mrs. White with Il few girls founded thc Girls' Athletic Association. The Association has increased from a few to about half n hundred. The activities that this Association sponsors are the various sports in their various seasons-volley ball, basketball, baseball, and track. Class teams are chosen in these sports and competitions are great between the classes. These teams are only chosen after a series of tryaouts, which help the supervisor decide upon the direction of this association. In these games any girl is able to take her chance to play. The awarding of letters has also come under the head of this body. By a method of points apportioned to the various sports participated in the girls are graded. Not a letter is given for each sport, but only one letter represents all the sports. These letters symbolize faithfulness. spirit. and co-operation with fellow students in the sports. To earn a letter a girl must win a thousand points or to earn a numeral she must win five hundred points in the following manner. The point system that follows shows how the girls are graded: Class Teams in: Volley Ball - 100 points Basketball - 100 points Baseball - - 100 points Track - - - 100 points Hiking - - - V l point per mile Intra-mural games Qcach gamej - 10 points Exhibition ---- - 10 points Dancing honors 50 points During the last part of the year the exhibition was presented by gym classes. The Association did its part to make it go over. A Christmas party was held in the gymnasium. there was a large tree decorated in Christmas style. A successful effort was made to make money by holding a box social. This was a novel event at Central and brought forth a good return. A section was reserved at Varsity games for the Association so the girls could have a more unified cheering. The real purpose of this Association has been to promote athletics for girls, and to encourage girls to enter sports. It has succeeded in drawing girls out to build up healthy bodies. It used to be the fad to have small deformed bodies, but now it is necessary to have a well formed body in order to get :along in the world. Miss Warrick has done everything in her power to encourage the girls to promote this Association for the betterment of women's sports at Central LETTER GIRLS Wilner Moulton, Betty Rupert.

In that sentence is adequately expressed the purpose and spirit of the Student Council: that body inaugurated by the class of 1927. to represent the student body in the government of the school. ln the two years of its existence the members of the Council have. to the best of their ability. carried out the spirit and the letter of its constituion. ln the ensuing paragraphs are enumerated some of the concrete accomplishments of the Student Council: however, a much more important. though abstract accomplishment. was the founding of a spirit of co-operation between the students and faculty. Honor Study Halls The Honor Study Halls were more or less carried over from the last year as to policy and organization. The rules were found to be inadequate after a few months trial and were replaced by a set of new rules, the initial letters of which spelled our HONOR. Students entered the Halls with little thought about the responsibility which they were assuming: but they learned that to be trusted is one of the highest privileges granted to a student. As a result they learned to use. not to misuse. the rights they had been granted, Mass Meetings Few of the students have realized that one of their number planned every one of the Mass Meetings throughout the year. As they sit back in their seats. they do not realize that some person has gathered together and organized the various features which are put before them. Of course to some. various parts were uninteresting, but it would have been impossible to have pleased everyone all of the time. lt has been the aim of the Council to givs. a small amount to each program to several features. some of serious and some of humorous nature. This aim has been accomplished, due to the efforts oi the committees and especially to its chairman Student Control of Httlls The students had long complained about the teachers patrolling the halls before the Council decided to take it over. Each week the committee appointed several students to control the halls and to see that the rules were observed This gave the teachers an opportunity to devote mort time in tht morning shown their ability to manage themselves by the success of this measure and it is hoped that the practice will be continued in future years if the students co-operate as well as they already have done Minstrel and Follies lt has become a tradition for the Council to put on some sort of a show at the end of each school year. This year it decided to have the faculty as well as the students in this activity. A minstrel show was planned in which the celebrities of the faculty created an atmosphere of rollicking hilarity. After wards came the Follies presented by the Students. The best act received a prize to reward the participants for their labors, This Minstrel and Follies show was sponsored by the Council in order to finish paying for the Tennis Courts which were built last year. and at noon. to helping the students in various ways. The students have N - ti Student Council---Organization The days of the hickory stick the rebellious students, and the iron rule of tht old fashioned school master have passed into history. Now in place of these things in the schools of America is fast being established a spirit of trust md understanding between the students and teachers which is much more In the fall of 1926 the leaders of the Senior class recognized the demand for some sort of student government Discussions were held in group meetings of all four classes the faculty gave its sanction. and student participation committees were appointed After much discussion the Student Council system was selected as being the best plan and was formally adopted. Elections were held and the body met for the first time, on December 23, 1926. At this meeting J D MacC1llum was elected Chairman. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution which was accepted by the other members and approved by Mr. Leach. ln this they set forth per- manent rules for the organization. rights, and duties of the Council. The membership is as follows: eight Seniors, six Juniors, four Sopho- mores, and two Freshmen, all to be popularly nominated and elected. The Council's authority is summed up in the statement that it is given authority over all student activities. The first year of the Council was taken up by organizing and by assuming the management of a few activities. In that first year rapid strides were taken to establish the Council's permanence. Much credit is due to the faculty for its co-operation and its willingness to establish student participation in governing the school. The second year of the Council has been taken up with the interpretation of its powers to the students and with the business of assuming a few more activities. In this year the faculty has continued to co-operate but the students somewhat fell short of their contract. The future holds great things for the Council. The accomplishment of things depends upon the faculty and students. The faculty is responding: the students should do the same.

The paper assumed the task of bringing about better school spirit. greater co- operation and som minor changes which, it was thought. would benefit the school. As a journalistic effort the Weekly Mirror has not been a model of all that a high school paper should be. To the contrary. it has been severely criticized for many things. but never for poor intentions, of a literary paper. As a result the Mirror has contained much humor and original feature material. Among the most important efforts of the Weekly were the Thanksgiving and Graduation editions and the annual Who's Who contest which was put over in fine fashion. Greater regularity of publication has been attempted with the results that twenty-five editions of the paper were produced. the most in the history of the Weekly Mirror. A high standard in the quality of writing and make-up has been maintained throughout the year, If the Weekly Mirror has been a success this year it has been due to the combined efforts of an able and Willing staff. No paper can be better than its staff, so the Mirror owes all its virtues and shortcomings to the individual staff member, business and editorial. Praise is due to all who helped make the Weekly a success. The Business and Advertising staffs were headed by Raymond Kurtz and Joseph Naples respectively. The Weekly has never had a better business management than these two managers have given it. In fact so much ad- vertising was procured that the paper was increased in size for several issues. Robert Foltz and John Wittenbrook who will manage the finances of the paper next year, both served faithfully as advertising solicitors. William Mathews circulation manager. and his assistant. Richard Dennis, handled their positions most elliciently.

Since the first it has given a play annually. Last year the club presented Mud which was followed this year by Mrs, Bumpstead-Leigh : both of these were huge successes. For the last three years the club has been under the able supervision of Mrs. Rhonemus whose advise and knowledge of dramatics has been the solution to many problems confronting the players. At each of the meetings a program was given by the program committee of which Susan Swisher was chairman. Either a playlet. group of imperson- 'ntions or a biography of some famous player was given.

The members were not only trained along the lines of acting, but they were also given an opportunity to coach a play by having the cast of one play coach the succeeding play and then received criticism by the members of the club Co-operating with the oflicers of the club was the executive committee which chose the various shorter plays and the annual play. They also co operated with the officers by advising them along certain lines and often by taking executive control of the club. This was the fourth year for this club in Central and by far its most successful one. The year was climaxcd with the presentation of the three act comedy. Dummy.

Because of his efforts. Mr. Romaker has made this position influential. The work of the club is mainly debate. The debates are given before the Senate but some are given on special occasions outside the club itself. One of these was a debate between the House of Representatives and the Senate. Victory was awarded to the latter. The question was Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolishcd In the United States. The Senate had the negative side of the question and was represented by Barnhardt, Everett and Clark. The club also participated in various social activities. Among these was a House-Senate party.

It has, in the few years of its existence accomplished a great deal toward the advancement of debating among the girls. The debates were given before the House generally but several were held outside the club proper. One of these was the annual House-Senate debate which was won by the Senate. The question was Resolved, That Capital Punishment Bc Abolished In the United States. The organization of the House coincides with that of the House of Reprc sentatives of the United States and the procedure is a study in parliamentary law.

Negative-Lost to Fostoria at Central: defeated Bluffton at Bluffton. Debate season began in November with a series of elimination tryouts. About sixty people turned out, which is the largest number ever trying out for debate. After four tryouts the speakers for the Hrst triangle. that with Findlay and Fostoria. were chosen. In this first encounter Central was unfor- tunate in that it lost both at home and at Findlay. But the teams and coaches profited by the experience and a complete re-organization of the two methods of attack and defense took place. That this change was effectual was shown in the fact that in our second triangle with Detiance and Bluffton we defeated both teams. We were unfortunate in that we were unable to arrange debates with any more schools but we hope in the future to be able to make debate a more prominent school activity by arranging fuller schedules. Miss Howey. Miss Fishbaugh. Mrs. Pence. and Mr. Romaker all put forth their best efforts toward making the season successful and these efforts are heartily appreciated by the teams.

Under the super- vision of Professor Evans the club was organized and developed into one of Centrals most important activities. Although progress was slow, as is the case in all things that are permanent, soon the people interested in the Glee Club were able to see a very marked advance. With this slight encourage- mcnt the task was taken up again with renewed vigor by both the members and the supervisors until it was fashioned into the high type organization it has now become When Professor Broadhead came to Central he found the Glec Club 1lready established but through his efforts new vigor was added to the working of the organintion and the field of endeavor was considerably enlirged This year the Boys Glee Club participated in various musical productions Chimes of Normandy The Glee Club also boasts of a unit. called The Scrap Iron Quartet This very interesting group presented programs before the school It also appeared before the Kiwanis and other outside clubs. The Scrap Iron also entered thc Eisteddfod. With a record such as this, Central is assured of a fine musical organization in the future. Quail-'W . . presented about school.

Under the direction of Miss Violet Lewis the club has advanced from a mere vision to a glowing reality. The society had its periods of depression. and although it disbands at the end of every year. the club proves to be an organization which is now one of the leaders in musical endeavor. Throughout the past year the club has presented its talent at various occasions. Programs were presented before the school. The club was entered in the Eisteddfod. Also the club had a number of its members participate in the school Opera The Chimes of Normandy. Witli an encouraging accomplishment such as these records represent and with the rapidly increasing membership of the group, music among the girls will attain great height in the future. and thc club will win greater laurels than those which now crown it. i V X . xx Orchestra ln l9l0 Central High School became the possessor of a school orchestra. Since that time the organization has improved to a great extent. As to mem- bership, it now has an enrollment of forty-two and, as to quality, Mr. Broad- head, the instructor, has devised a system of try-outs by which the best players are kept in the lead. The orchestra affords good training and is also very useful to the school. lt has furnished musical entertainment at the various school plays and at the Lyceum Course programs The orchestra of Central together with that of South phyed for the commencement exercises. The highest point of interest in the orchestra season is the Eisteddfocl worth and it is certain thtt the orchestra will strive for the best in years to come. f' illtlsil which is held annually. ln former years this organization has proved its . S ' . . ' Y I L 7 f IA Q, E Q Z The Band The organization of this school known as Central's Band is something of which Central students may well be proud. It was founded in 1922 and has made rapid progress in the following years under the able leadership of Mr. DuPere. The band is a prominent feature of every football and basketball game. Especially did it make a good showing at the annual Thanksgiving game. At the Hrst debate of thc season the band played for the pep meeting which preceded the programs of the evening. Twice a Week practices are held and like the orchestra one of their goals is the band selection in the Eisteddfod. ln preparation for this event the band took in some new members. Opera The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, under thc direction of Mr. C. J. Broadhead and Miss Violet Lewis. presented the Chimes of Normandy, by Planquerre. Germaine, the ward of an old miser, runs away from him and becomes fl servant. Count Henri. newly returned from America, falls in love with her. The Count buys an old castle said to be haunted and in searching it finds some papers which seem to indicate that Serpolctte, the village vamp. is really a wealthy countess. In the course of events it comes that Germaine. instead of Serpolette. is the real heiress. All ends happily. Maxine Williams and William East as Germaine and Count Henri handled the parts well and Elaine Roeder, James Reed. and Gordon Shaw portrayed the other important characters very commendably. Other members of the cast were the following: Gibson Dildine, Vaude Baggs, Ruth Cole, Mary Shook, Mary Daniel. Lester McDoneI. and Richard Wluittington. J e X57 Q yi -Qswtsavko' N :L-f'JJf'?' K . .J C5 ' y N 1 g f f' 'S Debate-Music This year has seen the successful continuation of the practice of holding musical contests in connection with the triangular debates, The represen- tatives of Central High, who were under the instruction of Mr. Broadhcad. contributed much to the honor of their school. Great interest has been shown in this new phase of school activities by the students and other persons. Students with musical ability are afforded a chance to do something for their school and to win recognition for themselves. In the first debate this year Central won two of the possible six numbers. but the second time they carried off four of the honors. The selections were both vocal and instrumental solos and trios. Since a beginning has been made Central intends to keep up this practice and always to do its best. J . V- X Vx, V, , .KV , KSQM-v::3'?' If . 4 z Q -I . s i I f E The Lyceum Course It has been the policy of the committee which arranges the Lyceum Course to endeavor to give to the patrons of the course better entertainments than those of the preceding year. Certainly this aim was carried out in the planning of the 1927-28 Lyceum Course. The course was of such a nature that it would appeal to the admirer of either music or oratory. Before the 1927-28 course there had always been seven numbers on the program: this year however, although the price of season tickets remained the same, there were but five numbers which were of superior calibre to those of other years. The first number was Tom Skeyhill, a student of world affairs. This was his third appearance as a speaker on the Central Lyceum Platform, During the World War at the battle of Gallipoli, Tom Skeyhill was stricken blind. Three years later. he recovered his sight, and he has since travelled extensively through Europe and Asia. Through his travels in Italy. he has become thor- oughly acquainted with his topic. Mussolini and the Black Shirts. in which he describes vividly and in detail the conditions of the Fascisti in Italy. He dealt particularly with the dynamic Mussolini for whom he has the greatest respect. He told the story of the career of Mussolini from the time he was a mere journalist for an Italian paper, until he became leader of the great Fascist patty which he himself organized and developed, in such a manner that he held his audience spellbound. conscious of his own assurance of his subject. The second number was The Spanish Orchestra. As the name signifies, the program was predominantly Spanish. The gay. vivacious Spanish music is always enjoyed, and it was especially delightful because of its excellent presentation. A feature of the number was the interpretation of a few of the Spanish dances by several of the young ladies of the company. Next in order was William Rainey Bennett, a dramatic orator, recognized in cities all over the United States as The Man Who Can, the title of his most Widely known lecture. Mr. Bennett is of the inspiring, energetic type of orator, who moves his audience by his own logical convictions. Mr. Bennett believes everyone has a genius, which can be cultivated if it is given the proper help and guidance. The Man Who Can is filled with humor, which Mr. Bennett cleverly weaves into the main thread of his story. The Schubert Male Quartet was perhaps the best received number of the entire course. which was undoubtedly versatility of its members. From the works of Schubert, the group turned toward a very different type of music, the opera. Two of the members of the troupe rendered a portion of Faust in which Faust. who is an old man. wishes for youth. Mephistopheles on the instant appears to him and says that he will restore his youth if Faust will eternally serve him. Faust consents, and is immediately made young. The final number on the course was Fiechtls Tyrolean Yodlers who gave a very delightful demonstration of Swiss yodeling. All the members of the company appeared in their native dress, which is still worn in Switzerland. The feature of their program was the echo song which was to portray to the audience how an echo sounds and resoun-ds in the reverberating cliffs of Switzerland. These numbers were procured with the co-operation of the Redpath and Alber Bureaus. 'WWW Yfgm 2 Mft! f W I N W M fm, qw ?E??Qwm Q M I tl 1 Y . Q UN f X' - Lt u C ul :N x ,.. M r :?ff'6' 2.

The club is made up of boys from the Junior and Senior classes. who have professed this to be their aim. ...Fo Weekly Hi-Y meetings were held at the Y. M. C. A, in which discussions on Older Boys' Problems were led by President Black and Faculty Leader Mr. Scheuerman. On several occasions, prominent men from Lima, or out of town, were present to address the club. We feel we have just completed a very successful year, in as much as our purpose has been acconiplished: and much credit is due Mr. Scheuerman and our advisor. Mr. R. T. Veal. ln co-operation with the Blue Triangle Club, the Hi-Y sponsored the annual Four C's Week at Central, and the Y's Forum Meetings. The Scripture was read in Mass Meetings by members of the Hi-Y or the Blue Triangle. Central Hi-Y was ably represented at the State l-li-Y convention held at Massillon, Ohio. NVe sincerely hope that next year's club will Gnd even more than we feel we have attained this year. Junior l-lifY HENRY WHI1'E - - President JOHN CRAWFORD - - - Vice President FRED HORN - - Secretary and Treasurer The Junior Hi-Y was organized in l923 at Central. The object in .starting this club was to make an organization which would give the younger boys an opportunity to enjoy the benents which the older boys receive from the Senior Hi-Y, The officers for the initial year were: president. John Mac Donald: vice president, Joe Herbst: secretary, Jack Morley. and treasurer Paul Cohn. and the membership began a steady and continuous climb. The membership embraces the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The meetings are held weekly in the Y. M. C. A. The discussions which take place at these meetings an. the most interesting imaginable. Questions in which the modern American youth is interested are discussed with a zeal that shows the talented support which the club gives its leaders. The supervisors, Mr. Veal and Mr. Huber, are deserving of much credit for the fine club which has developed under their supervision. If it had not been for their eHorts and time spent, the club would certainly not enjoy the marvelous success it is now experiencing. Its future is very bright and there is every reason to believe that the club will grow in the estimation of the school and will become a valuable asset to the community The club developed rapidly. the students catching the idea immediately.

' f Girls' Welfare VERTRICE MM' - - President Miss DRUSILLA REILLY . -,-. Advisor The Girls' Welfare League, organized in 1913, is one of the oldest clubs at Central. Ever since its founding it has been interested in aiding the unfor tunate people of the city. From the first year of its organization the real live, energetic girls of Central have been vitally interested in its growth. Any girl at Central is eligible to join this club. At various holidays baskets have been prepared by the members and have been distributed among the poorer people of Lima. Sick have been visited flowers have been sent to the sick. the poor have been helped and kindness has been showered on every one by the members of this club. Miss Reilly faculty supervisor, has done her best to establish this club and further its interests. Parties havebeen enjoyed by the members. Regular meetings have been held in the school library to talk over various ways of helping people. I The real purpose of the club is to furnish milk for undernourished children whose parents are unable to buy milk for them. Their motto is- Service n the past much was done by paying for equipment and milk for the day nursery. Commercial Club The Commercial Club was established in 1921 under the supervision of Miss l-lelsel. More has been accomplished, through the efforts of the members. this year than has been done in the past years. Since its founding. the club has been open for membership to any com- mercial student at Central. The membership has not been limited, but so many have taken this opportunity to join that it appears as though something uill have to be done in the future to limit the numbers, Every two weeks meetings were held to have programs, plays, talks. and contests. The annual party was gnen during the year at which time a little play was presented for the amusement of the audience. At this party various contests incl games were put on 1nd it ended with refreshments, This club his done its part to establish commercial ideals among the students and to interest them in various occupations. Mrs, Swearingen, Mr. Delong and Miss Snook have supervised this club through its most prosperous year The purpose has been to acquaint the students with the business world. md to create a real interest in the various occupations connected with the com- mercnl world P ' .. if : F EFL nv 'P f A I k.-5 C,-2.an521 W , ' K Art Club The Art Club was founded by Miss Kelley in 1919 with the purpose of promoting interest in art work. This club has endeavored by various ways to establish, at Central, a foothold for Art. Every two weeks meetings were held in the art rooms at which the members displayed their art talent or some speaker was procured, Much interest has been directed toward oil paintings, charcoal sketching and designing of costumes, In collaboration with Junior High Art Department, this club held an art display which was opened to the public. The drawings, water colored pictures, and charcoal sketches of the pupils were displayed Mrs. Burrell, the supervisor, has done much to establish this club per manently among Central Clubs. Without the inspiration of this club, ar at Central would never have riscn to the height that it has. Art, it is said is a main factor of life. lf there were no Art, there would be only dull living lf there were Art but no appreciation of it, life would also be dull. Therefore this club is also striving to build up an appreciation of Art so as to enjoy lift gr - ' 8. Mx nsan Senior Science Club CHARLES LEMERT - - President GEORGE WRIGHT - Vice President HARRY ROBINSON - Secretary-Treasurer The purpose of the Senior Science Club is to show scientific achievements and their efforts to the students of Central. This was accomplished by pre- senting a series of motion pictures of a scientific nature. Although the mem- hcrslnp of thc club was small this year they have accomplished a great deal in the matter of supplementary scientific study since every member was vitally interested in the work No little credit goes to Mr. Edmiston, head of the Science Department who has spent much time and effort in making the club's work successful fiA5 Qxq Q ' ' .

Through the work of the group the members learned how to take better pictures and to develop them. The club's advisor was Mr. Cahill. who is an expert along this line, having had much experience. He was very valuable to the club since he was able to teach them from his own experience. The programs were given over to discussions or lectures on the science of photography and the members then put their knowledge into practice. This club is one of practical value and it is hoped that it will be continued next year. i'1'f5,. , . ffl i'S.'g .,va ,, s-4 EEUU' ' 'fe 13.114 -Aga1,- fl e ' u te?-.5903 SS- .v . ki, , ooo Allen County Wbeelmen The Allen County Wheelmen's Club was formed in 1925 at the Y. M. C. A. The motto adopted by the club is. Ride a Bike. The purpose of the club is to promote and encourage interest in bike racing and riding, not only locally, but also in foreign countries. It is supported by four bike dealers of Lima and a bike manufacturer. The local Y. M. C. A. has devoted much time ,for its purpose. This year the local club won second place in the Ohio State Championship races. The club has secured these races for Lima in 1928. During the year small trips and races have occured. Most of the members are students of Central High School and Franklin Junior High. This club is a member of the Amateur Bicycle League of America. A similar club has recently been organized in Lima, Peru, by the inspiration of the club. Last year a trip of 1000 miles to Cumberland Gap. Kentucky was taken by the members of the club. This year the club expects to ride to Niagara Falls. At the first meeting ,of the year John Keller was elected presidentp Jack Baker. vice president: Eugene Broxom, secretary: and Leroy Hedges, treasurer. During this year the club has prospered from the untiring aid of Mr. W. L.

Ahuvrtining ,g V56 - THE LAST WORD In Three Parts BY THE AUTHOR Part I, lngrule Weekly Staff Exposed All during the past school year the Annual has listened patiently to the high- ly insulting remarks of its poor relative. the Weekly Mirror. This ungrateful and ingrate newspaper LU Sliff 1135 Yllken every opportunity to give the highly cul- tured staff of the Annual what is called in common vernacular, a dirty dig. At first we did not intend to lower our- selves so much as to reply to their petty statements, Now, however. we believe that it is our duty to correct the wrong impression concerning the relations of the two staffs which the school at large seems to have. This false impression. of course, is due entirely to the insinuating and misleading statements of the Weekly. These statements are so preposterous. that is was thought. that no one could believe them. however. it is prevalent that some of the pefidious insinuations, of that imposture of a newspaper UD staff. have been believed by the unsus- pecting and innocent youths and maidens Qpossibly even some of the Profs? of our dear and beloved school. These false and erroneous impressions should and are going to be corrected. In one of their measly issues they had the presumptotts nerve to even assert that the great Annual is subsidiary to that in- consequential Weekly Stall. As a mat- ter of proved and supported fact. this honorable stall has no connection. in any way whatsoever. with that ignominous and disgraceful imitation of a staff. The only way in which the two staffs could possibly he confused is perhaps that we are forced to share the same school name that they so ignobly employ. It we have, at any time. lowered ourselves so much as to consider them upon a par with US. we have committed an incorrigible error. This error we have tried to guard against. we have taken all precautions possible hut still. in the minds of some. there lingers a doubt as to the relations existing be- tween the staffs. We tell you the truth: there are no relations. unless it is the de- pendency of the Weekly upon the An- nual's support. The Weekly rests upon subscriptions for most of its revenue twith the exception of that received from adsl' If it were not for the hope of receiving a line year-book, who would subscribe for the Mirrors? This is con- cise and conclusive proof that the XVeckly Staff is dependent upon the Annual and should. hy all rights. be called the Weekly Minnow. Fellow readers. this little article is our means. merely, of explaining to the stu- dents how misrepresenting or twisted. the facts have been. concerning this highly reputed hook The Annual Mirror.

The coach watched the place pretty well before the game and managed to keep it good and straight, but after- ward- Thc hair tenrer sent the team to its rooms and trekecl oil to his own. He hung up his hat and coat and then the happy thought came to him to sec that the gang didn't get into any poker games. eat too much ice-cream, or gargle an over quantity of ice water: so he hicd him- selt' hence on an inspection tour. The boys were not doing a thing? lthey had a look-out stationedl. The Prof. trot- ted back to his rooms and lo and be- hold! his hat and coat were gone.
