W I H y - f ya, Q., is as 1 V 3 ,G fa wwf Awwwxfm ,f 2 Music Every one likes music. However. tastes may differ as to the kind pre- ferred, music in general has a universal appeal. Everyone throughout his life will hear a great deal of music, consequently, Central feels its obligation in helping to form musical tastes. The music department of Central is well developed. and this year, is under the capable direction of Mr. Mark Evans, who has returned to Central after an absence of five years, during which time he was director of music at Ohio Northern University, at Ada. Qhio. The most important features of the musical year are the eisteddfods. The instrumental eisteddfod was held this year at Fostoria. Central entered the string. brass, and woodwind ensembles, orchestra, and band. The orchestra number was the Ci Minor Symphony by Mozart: the band piece was Overture Urbana by i'Roberts. Central made a fine showing against the several other schools entered in the contest. The vocal eisteddfod took place this year at Defiance. We ranked excep- tionally high at this contest. the most credit of which is due Mr. Evans. Central entered all the vocal solos. piano solo, quartets. girls' glee chorus, boys' glee chorus. and mixed chorus. Oh. For the Wings of a Dove by Mendelsohn. was the girls' glee number: UCome to Me in My Dreams by Kane, the boys' glee: and Goodnight Beloved by Pinsuti, the mixed chorus number. The junior orchestra is a group of training musicians: members are usually graduated to the senior orchestra. This lesser organization has' rendered a mass meeting program and played for the junior high operetta. Towards the latter part of the year the department gave a concert com- posed chiefly of the numbers of the eisteddfods. This was planned and carried out by Mr. Evans. This concert proved to be a huge success and will proba-bly demand repetition in future years. The graduation exercises proved to be the conclusion of the year's musical appearances. Cooperating with the South High music department, the chorus sang at the baccalaureate services and the orchestra played at the commence- ment exercises, ln summing up the record of the entire year, we would say that music has had a cultural and broadening influence in the school, and the pupils have a better understanding and appreciation of good music. l i 3:1559 U bn eil

The slogan is UA clean standard of living: in speech, in athletics, and in scholarship. During the year Sunday Forums Were held every other Week in co- operation With the Blue Triangle Club at which time interesting and current questions were discussed. As a school objective the Four C's Campaign was conducted by this club together with the Blue Triangle: also the Life Work Campaign. Franklin Young represented the cluib at the World Conference at Toronto as delegate last summer: also a number of members attended the Older Boys' Conference at Dayton. The Hi-Y members have had a very successful year under the splendid leadership of Mr. Overmire. of the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Romaker, of the faculty. as advisors: also the work of Noel Broxon as sergeant-at-arms, James Mitchell as chairman of the membership committee, and Merton Sealts as chair- man of the program committee, have been appreciated. mt htmdretl ILLWI
