Mr. Olfenhauer at- tained high position as an educator and was known widely as a public-spirited citizen and a keen student of affairs. However, it is as a good man, who in fine friendliness touched thc lives of many, that Central High School will remember him longest. Wordsworth wrote these Words: A' ---- that best portion ofa good man's life His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love. With this simple tribute Central High School desires to express deep sorrow for the tragic and untimely passing of a friend, Annual Mirror Contents SCENICS - HISTORY OF CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION CLASSES The Class of '39 The Class of '40 The Class of '41 The'Class of '42 The Classes of '43 and ATHLETICS - - - History of Athletics ACTIVITIES - - - History of Activities MUSIC ---- DRAMATICS - - - History of Dramatics CLUBS -'--- History of Clubs - CALENDAR ---- ADVERTISEMENTS - '4 Pug - 0 - 3 - Q 17 29 33 37 41 43 59 50 72 73 81 90 91 - 104 - 106 110 7741 .mx Central l-ligh School in 'l905 I: ll-leN The year l905 with its highfcollared dandies, Gibson girl co'eds. and stilted courses saw the laying of the foundations of our present Central. Its few courses, which were not too overloaded with students and its very few extra-curricular events gave the institution its start to a great high school. Imagine no cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium. or junior high side, and you will have a picture of the starting of the Central of today. e X Central High School in 1939 NOW-- Central, with its many modern courses, highly rated activi- ties, and intelligent students, is the Central of 1939. Thirty-five years have brought new additions, new people, and new im- provements to our school, which is known all over the state for its prowess in debate, music, athletics, school spirit, and scholar- ship. May the students ofthe future honor and carry on the tradi- tions that have been laid down by the schools foresighted originators. l-listory of Central T is interesting to note the progress of higher education in Lima from its be- ginning to the present time. To Dr. D. W. Littlefield, who started the Lima Union School in 1857, is attributed the founding of our first secondary school. Classes were first held in the basement of the Methodist Epis- copal Church and later at the corner of Market and Union, with P. J. Stirewatt the only teacher. Although only a log cabin and a handful of students greeted Superintendent William A. Shaw, he dauntlessly introduced a four- year curriculum in our schools. Thanks to his courage and to the efforts of his successor, Professor John Hanson of Dartmouth Col- lege, the enrollment continued to increase so much that the services of an assistant teacher were needed, and Miss Ellen Carpenter, now Mrs. J. R. Hughes of Toledo, was hired to teach in Lima. The first freshman class numbered twenty-five, and at the end of four years commencement exercises were held for Mary Watt, Feledia Bennett, and Jose- phine Cunningham in the old Ashton Hall on the present site of the Lima Trust Build-- ing. In 1868 under W. E. Crosby, all students could elect courses in Greek, drawing, and painting but could take French and German only by paying an additional fee. Proud, beaming graduates now received printed cer-- tificates to indicate the completion of each separate study. In 1870 G. W. Walker assumed the lead- ership of Lima schools. J. M. Greenslade succeeded him in 1884, and Charles G. Mil- ler became superintendent in 1896. The oil boom in 1898 increased the en- rollment so greatly that classes were moved to the third floor of the East High School building on North Pine Street. School was not in session here very long. as a great cyclone wrecked the structure on Saturday, September 28, 1898, and it was necessary to transfer the school to the college building, which was erected in 1890 by the eight Lima Education Lutheran Association. After a year's stay at the Jamison Avenue building, classes were then moved to the Holland Block where they remained until 1905, when they began reciting in our present building. The next decade marked further educa- tional progress. New rooms, laboratories, and departments were added under the super- vision of John Davison, whose administra- tion began in 1905. The year 1915 saw J. E. Collins at the head of a rapidly growing organization, com- pelling notice in every field. South High School was erected in 1918, and the original school's name was changed from Lima High School to Central High School. A new gymnasium, auditorium, and cafeteria brightened the interior aspect of the old building. R. E. Offenhauer, who became principal of Central High School in 1918, effected marked improvements in the courses, departments, and activities. H. W. Leach of Marietta succeeded Mr. Offenhauer when the latter became superin- tendent of Lima schools in 1925. The ad- mirers of his executive ability and human qualities are many, both among Central's students and faculty. When Mr. Offenhauer resigned his posi- tion in 1937 to become president of Bowling Green University, J. McLean Reed, then superintendent of Fostoria schools, was named in his place. Under his progressive leadership, emphasis is being placed more and more on the proper guidance of the child. both educationally and vocationally. A long span of years has marked the tran- sition from a small group of pupils huddled in the basement of an old church for their classes to nearly two thousand students in a building covering an entire city block. In- deed, Central is a small city in itself with cafeteria, gymnasium, auditorium, hospital, library, and its own publications all housed under one roof. -BERT STIMMEL VNAVZ :j'.. wry' Sak?

His boy- ' hood dream was to become a good lawyer. Upon graduation from public school, he entered Ottawa Normal School to prepare for a teach- ing position. After teaching in Putnam and Hancock Counties for four years, he entered Ohio Northern University as a law student, but the urge to become an educator soon supplanted his earlier ambition. He received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees from Ohio Northern University, and his Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University, at which institution he will begin work on his Doctor's degree this summer. After ten years' teaching experience, Mr. Reed became principal of Fostoria High School, and a year later he was named superintendent of the Fostoria schools, a position which he held for seven years. ln Sep- tember l937, the Lima Board of Education chose Mr. Reed as head of our educational system. The friendliness of Central's student body has impressed Mr. Reed a great deal. He feels that the excellent quality of the school work done in Central may be attributed to the fact that the students participate so freely in the activities and government of the school-a policy in which he firmly believes. A versatile individual, our school head enjoys various hobbies. He is an ardent movie fan and attends the theatre frequently on Saturday afternoon. Lionel Barrymore, William Powell, and Wallace Beery are his favorite actors. A'The Marks of an Educated Man by Albert Edward Wiggarn holds a certain fascination for our superintendent, for he has perused it a number of times, ln fact, it was lying on his desk at the time of our interview. He also flnds magazine articles and biography entertaining. One of Mr. Reeds main interests to which he devotes a great deal of his time is music, and almost every Sunday morning he can be found singing in the choir at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he is a member. ln contrast with his cultural pursuits, he is fond of such outdoor sports as fishing and hunting. He likes athletics of all kinds and attends most high school contests in all major sports and many inter-collegiate and big league baseball games every year. experience in school ad- Mr. J. M. Reeds ministration and his sparkling and outstand- ing personality are two of his greatest assets. He faces issues squarely, thinks them through. and then acts upon them from an impartial viewpoint. Schools and nations need more men like him. Board of Education Dr. A. N. Wiseley, physician, has been a member of the Board of Education for the last five years and is now its president. Mr. A. M. Gantz, manager of Standard Brands, is its clerk and has served for six years. Wt? Mr. C. H. Pool, vice-president, has been a member of our board for four and a half years. Mr. Pool is associated with the Buck- eye Pipe Line Company. Mr. C. A. Neiswander, a member of the Board of Education for the past ten years, is the superintendent of the Buckeye Machine Company. Mr. W. C. Derbyshire for the past twelve years has been a member of the board, and is the proprietor of a grocery. Mr. H. Ci. Mason has been director of maintenance for eight years. -NADINE CoRsoN Administrators ol Central l-ligh School XV. leach. principal of Central High School, was born in Delaf ware. Ohio. and grew up with the desire to be a lawyer. Mr. , l.cach. however. studied law for only a few months at the Uni- versity of Vvlisconsin and then took up teaching. After six years ar l a Crosse High School. he became principal at Marietta. Since l0Z5. he has gained the admiration of both faculty and students as principal of Central lligh School. Among the educational institutions which he attended were Ohio Wesley.in University. wh-:re he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree. and the grad- uate school of Ohio State University. Our principal is an ardent lover of tennis and is quite skilled in this tisld. He possesses marked executive ability which is shown by the excellent organization of Central's curricular and extra-curricular activities. He has brought valuable lyceum programs to Central High School. Under his direc- tion. our assemblies have been turned into vivid and interesting reflections ol' student life. mingled with outside knowledge. He can often be found in the office or in the halls. carrying on friendly and interesting conversations with many of the students. H. XV. Scheuerman. assistant principal of Central High School. in his carlier school days played basketball at Defiance High School and at Defiance College. from which he was graduated in l926. In l9'l2. he received his Master's degree from Ohio State University. He abandoned his early desire to be a chemical engineer in order to enter the teaching profession and be- came a chemistry instructor and head basketball coach at Central in l9Zfm. llis views are that any student who wishes an education badly enough can work his way through college as he did.

While he gleefully gloats in silence O'er mentality which he lacks. Whene'er the prof reproves him For something that is not right, I-Ie's sure to grin, or make a face Or sauce him just for spite. The sophomore contributes his two cents' worth Whether he's right or wrong: Sometimes I can't help wondering Just how he gets along. For though it may be smart, It isn't at all polite To make remarks upon the side When the teacher's out of sight. The junior's bored with education, But he can't take all the blame: The pile of books he carries home Would put honest seniors to shame. So when he gets a little rowdy, Won't you excuse it please? You see, he is grateful for the fun Which puts his lonely heart at ease. I wonder if I understand That word called dignified : 'Cause when I see how seniors act, I could commit sure suicide. Though they're the dictators to be sure Of all the classes in the school, They're worse than all the others When it comes to acting like a fool. -ALICE THURSTON President - - Vice-President Secretary - - Treasurer Miss McCIurg Miss Stiles Row I Donald David, Miss McClurz, Mr. Jones.

Senior Class l-listory May this brief synopsis of your high school years reflect the feeling of friendli- ness and happiness you have shown towards Central. V l:i'2Sl'lllldFl yedl' Aren't these halls long and filled with upper classmen? . . . Oh, this night work-it's terrible . . . Say, where is your seat ln study hall? . . . Somebody cnlled me Green yesterday--what does that mean? . . . Are you going to the game? . .. I didn't think they did so many things over here. . . You can't satisfy, these teachers . . .If I get bawled out just once more. These were the thoughts of the class of '39 when four years ago it walked into the mysterious halls of the senior high side. Its leaders were Don David, president: Peggy Cur- tiss, vice-president: Jo Ann Bowman, secretary: Rob- ert Vandemark, treasurer. Student Council representa- tives were Robert Sanders and Junior Stimmel, Patricia Bourk was accepted into the Troubadourian Club-an honor very few freshmen attain. and Junior Stimmcl was voted head cheerleader. Miss Ruth Reed, the supervisor, who is not in Cen- tral now, will long be remembered by the class of '39. Sophomore Year Look at us on the third floor and we haven't seen everything . . .My, don't these juniors look down on us--but just wait until next, year. . . How many study halls do you have? . .. Are you taking Latin? . . . I've got her again-of all the luck . . . Are you going out for football? . . . I don't feel older . . . Well, here goes nothing. Our class had nnally entered into its second year, one year older in knowledge, relationship, and activity. Don David again was chosen as presidentg Marjorie Le Valley, vice-president: Peggy Komminsk, secretary: Robert Vandemark, treasurer. The class boasted four members on the Student Council. They were Dorcas Baney, Patricia Skinner, Robert Sanders, and Richard Monbeck. Bettye Tharp, Mary Jane Sullivan, Charlotte Dirin- ger, Wanda Slaybaugh, Paul Weaver, John Becht, and William Blum served on the Annual and Weekly Mirror. Robert Sanders and Don David participated in the Held of athletics. Miss Gayle Howey certainly showed a co-operative spirit as our supervisor. Junior Year Juniors at last,-new friends, new ideas, new attitudes all seem to make the third year ily by without a breathing spell . . . This old school has certainly gained sophistication, or have we? . . . Only one year left . . . Of all the night work . . . We have all of it . . . This schedule is terrible . . . How is yours? . . . Our class had walked right into the junior year and assumed the robes of responsibility. The class voted, and the decision proved that Don David was again president: Peggy Curtiss, vice-presi- dent: Peggy Komminsk, secretary: Robert Vandemark, treasurer. The Student Council's ranks were lilled with proud juniors who went by the names of Dorcas Baney, Richard Monbeck. Robert Harrod, Jane Mc- Croba. Custer Krickenberger. and Junior Stimmel, The juniors burst forth in the legitimate theatah and dazzled Centralites with their class play, Sweet Sixteen . The cast consisted of Junior Stimmel, Bettye Tharp, Virgil Armstrong, Patricia Skinner, Jerry Wendt. James Wright, Velva Pickett, Jo Ann Bow- man. Bruce Robinson. Warren Jacobs, John Robenalt, Miriam Renz, and Virginia Roman. The silver-tongued followers of Demonthenes of the junior class were Virgil Armstrong, James Sweger, Bet- tye Tharp, James Wright, Wanda Slaybaugh, William Stiles, John Robenalt, and Warren Jacobs. Annual and Weekly staffs fairly overflowed with the following juniors: Bettyc Tharp, June Allison, Junior Stimmel, Mary Jane Sullivan, Jane McCroba. Rosemary Gisler, William Myers, Arline Copeland, An- nette Rakowsky, Ann Mericle, Patricia Skinner, Wanda Slaybaugh, Robert Stuber, Kenneth Ramers, William Blum, Jean Short, Ruth Mary Whitney.

The following officers were named: Don David, president: Peggy Cur- tiss, vice-president: Peggy Komminsk, secretary: Rob- ert Vandemark, treasurer. The seniors practically have complete charge of the Student Council, and here is the choice for rule: Dorcas Baney, Robert Sanders, Jane McCroba. Robert Harrod, Junior Stimmel, Richard Monbeck, Custer Krickenberger, and James Meffley. The noise quieters and blue slip signers, commonly known as supervisors of the senior home room. were Miss McClurg, Miss Stiles, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Steiner. The largest senior class in Central's history was gov- erned by the following committees: Christmas tree- William Stiles, Bettye Tharp, William Renz, Jane Guernsey: annual play-Bruce Robinson, Jane Mc- Croba, Jerry Wendt, James Meffley, Jean Short: an- nouncements-Fred Hindman, Betty Knerr, John Becht, Virginia Alguire, Virgil Armstrong: memorial --Warren Jacobs, Carl Williams, Miriam Renz, Wil- liam Ammon.

A small but mighty number of seniors came forth as debaters. They were Charles Hill, James Sweger, James Wright, Bruce Robinson, Wanda Slaybaugh, and James Zulliger. The annual play, Silas Marner , was chosen by the play committee and Mrs. Rhonemus. Those in the cast were Veldine Vaughn, Robert Kerr, Bruce Robin- son, Patricia Skinner, Herbert Gefell, Kent Robnolte, Bert Stimmel, Jerry Wendt, Mary Jane Sullivan, Grace Desenberg, Charles Hill, Bettye Tharp, Marjorie Lan- des, Richard Neuman, Alice Day, and Custer Kricken- berger.

A third year student is not expected to be too dignilied: he should, however, be no doormat. as our little freshman broth- ers and sisters are. Our officers this year were Bob Brentlinger, presi- dent: Shirley Mereness, vice-president: Mary Ellen Bidwell. secretary: Harrison Hughes, treasurer. These ofHcers with the willing help of Miss Jones, our super- visor. aided us greatly in our junior year. We juniors are proud of our Student Council rep- resentatives-Marjorie Ripley, Bob Richards, Roy Blodgett, Thelma Von Almen, Jerry Clark, and Charles Stilgenbauer-who helped make some of Cen- tral's school laws and also planned coming events. The school dances and the honor study halls are both proj- ects of the Student Council. As my opponent has stated were familiar words to the debaters of Central. What victories have been theirs! Our junior debaters showed not only ability to interest their audiences, but also superior oratorical talent. They were Marjorie Ripley. Dorothea Plaugh- er. Berneta White, Earl Moreo, and John Albertson. Who doesn't like to imagine a fellow student some- day becoming a second Clark Gable or Joan Craw- ford? Imagine being able to say. Why, I knew her when she was in one of our high school plays. and now she's an actress of great fame. Well. we do have considerable talent in Central, and it was well displayed in our junior class play, Apron String Revolt . Mem- bers of the cast were Zell Sandifer. Nadine Corson, Ann Blattenberg, Marjorie Ripley, Howard Bayles, Shirley Mereness, Jerry McWilliams, Jerry Clark, Mar- jorie Botkin. Paul Downs, Quentin Maxfield, Joe Sells, Bettie Davies, and Orrie Barr: Dorothy Becher acted as publicity manager: Mary Mumaugh, as property manager: and Betty Creps. as business manager. Mrs. Rhonemus was an excellent coach. Some juniors belonged to Hi-Y and Blue Triangle Clubs. while others were study hall monitors and served on the hall patrol. When we mention sports, we invariably think of boys as the participants. Girls, however, are as active and show as much interest in sports as do most boys. This is particularly true of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion under the guidance of Miss Sawyer. The follow- ing girls participated in volleyball: Irma Rutter, Helen Mallett, Margie Surratt, Mary Wagner, Jeanne Graf, Mary Frederick, Mary Scheufler, Marjorie Ripley, Mar- cella Roberts, Julia Neely, Corrine Bartlett, Della Mae Staples, and Jeanne White. Marjorie Ripley acted as their captain. In the interclass volleyball tournament the following girls were on the winning first team: Helen Mallett, Marjorie Ripley, and Thelma Von Almen. Virginia Kennedy served on the second team, while those given honorable mention were Julia Neely and Fairy Page. Rah! Rah! Rah! That sound is very familiar to us. for it recalls the football season. What a season it was. for we won the South-Central game. While the crowd was waiting to see which team would earn the title, King of Football , our junior lads were right in there fighting hard. This year the junior boys who re- ceived letters for varsity football were Dick Cheney, Paul Kilgore, Jim Johnson. Clint Alguire, Bob Sims. Bobf Brentlinger. and Milan Stanich. Those who were awarded reserve letters were Jerry Clark, Bob Teitel- baum, Floyd Bruening, George Vucovich, and Bud Fisher. With such a good representation from the third year class in football, we really hope that these boys will take their places in the line-up again next year. During the track season there were many juniors who displayed their athletic ability in various sports. They were Bob Sortman. Bob Brentlinger, Dick Cheney, and Harry Schipper. To encourage the players in Central's sports, cheer- leaders were chosen at the beginning of the year. Our class representative to the squad was Zell Sandifer. It was common to see reporters hurriedly gathering bits of information for their Weekly Mirror assign- ments. Among those who were especially interested in this field were Dorothy Becher, Marjorie Botkin, Bet- tie Collins, Betty Creps, Jeanne Graf, Mable Harshc. Phyllis Lindenbaum, Earl Moreo, Mary Mumaugh, Sharlene Nesbitt, Anita Sarber, Joe Sells, Lou Ann Wallace, and Beverly Walton, reporters: June Schulte and Virginia Lewis, associate editors: Cathie Stull and Gene Snyder, typists. Literary interest was displayed again by juniors who worked on the Annual Mirror. Those students inter- ested in this line of work were Zell Sandifer, Marjorie Ripley, Marcella Roberts, and Nadine Corson. Besides the regular chorus and vocal classes Mr. Evans directed the students in the A Cappella Choir. Among the students who were members of this musi- cal organization were Juanita Weber, Donna Gene Mil- ler, Roy Blodgett, Barbara Neely, Carolyn Valentine. Martha Jones, Ray Peterson, Virginia Kennedy, Irene Hohl, Jane Marshall, Shirley Mereness, Zell Sandifer. Dorothea Plaugher, Evelyn Castoe, Joe Sells, Paul Downs, Clifford Custer. Thelma Von Almen, Marjorie Ripley, Jeaniel Kirlin, and Betty Ambose. Whatever we have done in the past for better or worse is now over, so with a fond farewell we bid the junior class goodbye and look forward to a profit- able senior year. -ZELL SANDIPER IN MEMORIAM The Class of 1940 deeply regrets the passing of Paul Bowers, who died April 19, 1939, and of Richard Hover, who died May 1 1, 1939. thirty-two The Class of ,41 U .JT I ! ,, ., The Class of VU OFFICERS PRiss1maNT Don Ammon V1ct1zfPRr2sImsN'1' Betty Myers SIQQRIQTARY Dorthca Miller FFRIEASURIER Richard Hill SUPERVISOR Miss Howcy Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Row I Row 2 Row 3 Row l Row 2 Row 3 Sophomore Class OFFICERS Don Ammon, Betty Myers, Miss Howey, Dorthea Miller, Dick Hill.

What teachers did you get? . . . How do you like the new officers? . . . Some football team we have . . . Wasn't it hard to give those debate speeches? . . . What up and coming basketball players we have . . . Aren't those cross country boys ambitious? . . . China Boy was well presented: wasn't it? . . . Royal blue and white are beautiful class colors: aren't they? HIS year two hundred and sixty-seven sophomores walked up the front steps and into their new home rooms. With a bright and cheery greeting for all, they settled down to another year of school. They elected as their officers Don Ammon, presi- dent: Betty Myers, vice-president: Dorthea Miller, secretary: Dick Hill, treasurer: and Robert Parmenter, Alta Jayne Clark, Robert Heil, and Walter Renz, representatives to the Student Council. Some of this number had unlimited ambi- tion and participated in such extra-curricular activities as dramatics, football, debate, bas- ketball, cross country, and journalism. The sophomore class was well represented in the Masqueraders' production, China Boy, on February 3. Those who enacted roles in the play were Gloria Stark, Marilyn Claassen, Paul Newland, Philip Holstine, Robert Heil, Natalie Wodruff, and Wavellene Beeler. Much credit for the success of the play was due to Miss Stuart, director: Marjorie Else, property manager: and Paula Bersee, business manager. Boys who successfully tried out for foot- ball were Paul Tarbutton, Lester De Vine, Jack Blose, Jack Earl, Walter Renz, Don Cox, Edwin Wernhoff, Edward Penn, and Bob Boyd. Two of the sophomore boys, Ernest Reigel and Darrell Schlosser, were on the varsity team. On the basketball team there were such promising boys as Dick Hill, Lester De Vine, Paul Tarbutton, Darrell Schlosser, Jim Bean. and John Eisley. Those on the cross country team were Ray Donaldson, Wayne Lee, John Eisley, and Dan Sullivan. On the debate team were Bill Parmenter, Marjorie Else, Robert Huffer, William Noble, Jeanne Esther Morris, Marilyn Claassen. Margaret Reese, and Dolores Ciast, who will probably represent Central on the varsity team in a few years. Those who had a flare for journalism on the Weekly and the Annual Mirror staffs were Jim Ackerman, Paula Bersee, Robert Baker, Jim Caton, Alta Jayne Clark, Mar- jorie Else, Philip Holstine, Edith Johnson, Jeanne Esther Morris, Phyllis Lindenbaum, Betty Myers, Bernard Parish, Erma Rehn, Gloria Stark, and Martha Nichols, Two sophomores who made names for themselves were Rosemary Hardy, head cheerleader, and Bob Zumbrun, drum major. All the wearers of the royal blue and white, the class colors, appreciated the guid- ance of Miss Howey, their class supervisor. -MARTHA NICHOLS IN MEMORIAM The sophomore class deeply regrets the loss of one of its members, Walter Gehm, who died October 13, 1938. thirty-six -H12 Class of '4Q lhirt y - scum The Class of '42 OFFICERS P1ufs1D1sN'1' Donald Harrod Vlczli-Pluasllnlim' B.1rbL1r.1 Allcn Slacimflyxm' Barbara Bowman Tlzmsulalfla Robcrt Aslmba SUma1av1soR M1'S.

I've had fun this year . . . Bad news! We're going to have exams! . . . I wonder how it feels to be a sophomore? . . . I will soon know-I hope! ITTLE freshmen wearily crawled out of their comfortable beds one September morning and gathered up their papers and pencils. While trudging doggedly to school, they stopped suddenly and let out a whoop! They were freshmen! After this exhilarating thought, they ran on to school, and jumped headlong into the work of the first hectic days. After pondering thoughtfully, they chose the following officers: Don Harrod, presi- dent: Barbara Allen, vice-president: Barbara Bowman, secretary: and Bob Ashba, treasur- er. Wesley Bayles and John Timmerman represented the freshmen on the Student Council. Passing through the first exciting days without many casualties, they now set to work and saw to it that every club and ac- tivity for which they were eligible had rep- resentatives from their class. That this class was dramatically inclined is evinced by the fact that the following were in the cast of the Masqueraders' play, China Boy : Joan Jones, William Geiser, Harry Fockler, Claudine Renz, Joan Hinkle. Jewel Stalter. forty As usual, practically every club has the names of eager, curious freshman on its membership records. Barbara Allen and Wesley Bayles are those two energetic freshmen who helped lead the enthusiastic crowds in cheering at basketball games and other athletic activities. Wayne Wells and James Bean are two prom-- ising first-year players on the reserve team in basketball. At last, the freshmen can attend the long anticipated school dances. Now that they are allowed to do so, you can't keep them away. A great many who are meek UD little freshmen in class rooms, may be seen on the dance floor executing intricate steps worthy of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. A pleasant and profitable year would not have been possible except for the guidance of Mrs. Breese. Her help and advice have straightened out many of the tangles and complications in which freshmen are con- tinually involving themselves. For this and much more, the freshmen thank her most sincerely and hope that they haven't been too much trouble. -PAULINE BRANNOCK - The Classes of '43 and ,44 I The Class of ,411 OFFICERS Pmssluliwr Carol Bennett VICE-IJ1z12s11J1iN'r Robert Wilcox S1ic3R1a'1'ARY Kathryn Thompson rIQRIEASURI2R Jeanette Elliott Sumuzvxson Miss Kcphart -H12 CIGSS of ,43 UH fIC TIiRS l'mfsm1aN'1' Nicholas Vucuvich Vuirf PRlfSIDIEN'l' livclyn Vw'l1itc Slfci1z1f'l'ARY Riclmrd ZiI'l1ll1Cl'l1lJI'l 'l'RI5ASURIfR .loan I.utcs Skwflwlsolz Miss Mcphcron Junior High History Where is Room 206? ...Where is Room 2167 . . .

I-IIS year the classes of 1943 and 1944 entered Central, and thus far they have made an excellent appearance, rating high in all activities. One of their first acts was the election of their officers. The seventh grade chose Carol Bennett as their president, Robert Wilcox as their vice-president, Jeanette Elliott as their treasurer, and Kathryn Thompson as their secretary. The eighth graders chose their officials as follows: Nicholas Vucovich, president? Eve- lyn White, vice-president: Joan Lutes, treas- urer: Richard Zimmerman, secretary. Joyce Cotner represented the seventh grad- ers, and Marcine Blodgett represented the eighth graders in the Student Council. These new students were on their toes in all athletic activities. They had intramural teams in volleyball, basketball, and other sports. They had a junior high football and a junior high basketball team. During the year the seventh and eighth grades led the honor roll, having a greater number of students on it than any other class in Central. It would be impossible to give you all the names which were on the honor rolls during the year, but some of those which appeared most often in the seventh grade were James Crider, Joyce Jones, Cornelius Bakker, Carol fort y- four Bennett, Dorothy Johnson, Milton Neely, Belva Boose, Frederick Bremer, Donna Krouse, June Widner, Mary Altstetter, Dor- othy Dickinsheets, Shirley Shrider, William Keeling, Marjorie McJilton, Jack Mahan, Mary Sandifer, Robert Stimmel, Donald Everett, Marilyn Gebert, Richard Foulkes, Edna Smith, Miriam Clark, Mary Elliott, Kathleen Meineyer, Betty Simmons, Betty Bodkin, Ella Brannock, Charlotte Budd. Those who led in the eighth grade were Robert Ammon, Helen Cuthbert, Betty Shutt, James Barbour, Jack Kelley, Junior Murray, Peter Rippens, Dick Schurr, Helen Seitz, Patty Sherry, Deloris Bryan, Patricia Evans, Jean Cierstenlauer, Nelda Mills, Cior- don Misch, Paul Rutter, Robert Bowman.

Joan Blum, Natalie Gregg, Charlotte Haller, Betty Kemph, Nancy Leech, Richard Ro- maker, Margaret Watkins, Richard Zimmer- man, Walter Bowman, Deloris Edwards. Gloria Haney, Carl Sibold, Myron Sowards, Evelyn White, Nicholas Vucovich. Miss Ruth Kephart, seventh grade super- visor, and Miss Edna McPheron, eighth grade supervisor, have been most helpful in giving excellent guidance to the classes of 1943 and 1944. --E.

HIS year Central's new football mentor is Morgan Jones. formerly of Tiltonsville High School. His being coach here affords him the chance to further the friendly rivalry which already existed between him and Coach Varner of South, formerly of Bellaire High School. He is an advocate of the fast attack and fashions his plays after the Notre Dame shifts and formations. Coach Jones's Hrst year at Central has been a success. Having the desire to match Central against larger elevens and to have a longer schedule. Jones has added Dayton Stivers and Hamilton to the 1939 football schedule. This was a season of brilliant playing and splendid teamwork. Of course no team would be able to play really good football without the support and backing of a good reserve team. Central's B squad won four games, lost one. and tied one. Central opened the season by beating the Bluffton squad, 13-0. Bryan had to work to subdue a scrappy Central eleven, 21-12. The Dragons then came back to beat the Bowling Green team by the one-sided score. 28-O. De- fiance won a close game, 7-O. Central unex- pectedly beat Dayton Kiser, 10-7. The Dragons had a slump and lost the next two games to Van Wert and Findlay, respectively. Rossford was defeated next, 15-13. South-Central Game Stanich's perfect pass to Graham was the de- cisive factor in the annual South-Central Tur- key Day game, in which the Dragons played one of their best games of the season, winning by the score of 12-7. This contest was one of thrills and chills and was the most exciting in the last decade. 1BILL lVlYERS Basketball Quote . . . Brrrr! That water's cold . . . Whn used all of the hot water? . . .

Coach Settlemire had five of last year's lettermen as a nucleus for his '38-'39 basketball team. Central won ten games and lost five, The bucketeers started the season off by winning their first two, losing the next, and winning the last live events. One of the important factors which contrib- uted to a successful season was the excellent reserve team. This squad won ten games and lost eight. Without these boys as opponents to try out their plays and offenses, the varsity would not have done so well. The Red and Green bearers defeated Criders- ville. 24-15, and then vanquished Celina, 22- 18. A mighty Trojan Hve from Findlay sub- dued Central, 21-16. Then the Dragons beat Defiance, 29-21. Central came out the winner in a close game with Fostoria, 36-35. Dayton Kiser was defeated, 34-31. Central beat its friendly rival, South, 28-23, and then lost to Bowling Green, 19-31. The Red and Green bearers traveled to Greenville to defeat them, 38-31. Central started on a losing spree by be- ing defeated by Piqua, 25-23. South defeated the Dragons in a hard fought game, 26-25. Kenton subdued Central, 26-24. The Dragons lost a close game to Sidney, 28-27. In their last seasonal game, Central beat Lima St. Rose, 36-24. District Tournament Central drew Upper Sandusky as its first opponent in the tournament at Findlay. The Dragons defeated them by the score of 18-16. Next, Central beat Kenton, 29-23, having lost to Kenton in the regular basketball season. In the semi-finals the Dragons had to play Find- lay on their own court. Due to Findlay's supe- rior team and an injury to Hollopeter early in the game, Central lost, 21-37. -BILL MYERS Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Mr. Settlemire, White, llavirl, Monhr-ek. Brent linger.

ROSS country, one of the most tiresome sports in which Central athletes partici- pate, was started in 1930 with Cappy Schcuerman as coach. This sport was discon- tinued until 1937 when Ronald Dotson took A team of boys and successfully completed the year. The distance on the cross country course is two miles. Points are given for the respective positions in which the contestants finish. The runner returning first receives one point for his team, the one returning next receives two points, and so on until ten have crossed the finish line, The team receiving the least number of points wins the meet. Central's iirst meet was with Sidney, and we won. Other victories included Bryan, Piqua. and South. Losses were to Fremont and South At the district meet in Springfield, Ohio, Central's captain, Harry Schipper, who came in twelfth, won a coveted silver belt buckle. I-le also made the new city record this year when the team defeated South. The time was ten min- utes and fifty-six seconds at the City Park course. The-lettermen this year from Central were Don All- croft, the manager. The receivers of reserve let- ters were Bob Kerr, Bob Brender, Dan Sullivan, John Eisley, Harry Schipper, Wayne Lee, Taflinger, Ray Donaldson, and Arthur and John Baxter. Central's future star will be Joe Miller, eighth grader, who came in ahead of all the other Central boys each time. -BOB CRt3v1s'roN Bowling Who thought up this game?...K'heck Maek's de- livery . . .

OWLING, which might be considered our national indoor game, has about ten mil- lion participants throughout the country, Twenty-live years ago the art of bowling was associated with the pungent odor of cigar smoke and so was not considered a polite pastime. Now bowling is mentioned along with tennis and golf as a true sport, and physical directors are placing emphasis on it in the high school. The obvious merit of tenpins is that it takes many off the spectators' bench and puts them on the playing floor, and so bowling was inaugurated this year as a part of Central's athletic program under the direction of Floyd Overholser. The call for bowlers met with enthusiastic response. Those who reported were George Mc-- Connell, Richard Neuman, William Blum, Mil- ford Roush, Earl Moreo, Robert Mallett, Har- old Bowers. Robert Kerr, and John Mack. Girls who reported were Dorcas Baney, Mary Floyd. Marjorie Ripley, Thelma Von Almen, Virginia Kennedy, Betty Floyd, Ruth Ehrenfeld, Helen Mallett, Joy Schaflner, and Alice Kemmer. Bowling took the form of an interclass bowling league in which the senior boys and junior girls emerged victorious. Bowling can be enjoyed with less proficiency than almost any other sport. Skill is required, that is a priori, but not the exacting skill that perhaps tennis or golf requires. Even the novice derives some enjoyment from bowling, To those who are inclined to be skeptical-ten mil- lion keglers cannot be wrong. -BRUCIZ ROBINSON i Row Row Row Row Mr. Ovorholser, Gvoriri- McConnell, Riehiirfl Neuman.

ENTRAL produced a state swimming champion, Don Coolahan, who won the state l00 yard and 220 yard free style events. He advanced to the state meet at Colum- bus by taking first place in the 220 yard event and second place in the l00 yard event in the district meet at Toledo. Since he was the only Dragon entering the state meet and receiving twelve points, Wack placed Central fourth in the state meet. Central's tankers started the year by beating Xenia at the Lima Y. M, C. A. by the score of 36-30. Traveling to Xenia, the Dragons lost, 29-39. Next, Central was defeated by a supe- rior Toledo De Vilbiss team, 43-23. In the last regular meet, the Dragon squad was subdued by the strong swimmers from Toledo Scott by a score of 43-23. At the district meet Central won ten points and fifth place and at the state contest they won twelve points and took fourth place, Lewis Miller, who came to Central from Ada, replaced Leonard Kline as swimming coach. As a college student Mr. Miller was not on the school swimming team but took an ac- tive interest in handball, volleyball, and bas-- ketball. He would be able to produce a better team and the squad would go farther as swim- mers if the student body would only turn out and support it. Let's respond better next year. -BILL MYERS COdCl12S Look at Stein's stance . . . What happens when the coaches get together? . . . Why the hig smile, Rex? . . . Cheek Brent's solemn expression . . .

Everyone owes Stein a vote of thanks for the fine way he has handled Central's athletic affairs. James Brentlinger, the perfect athletic ex-- ample, aided Mr. Jones with football and as- sisted Mr. Dotson with track. Brent , a twelve letter man in high school, was both a good coach and an inspiration. Morgan Jones. the veritable exponent of en- thusiasm, was both our football and golf coach. lmported from Tiltonsville, he can now be con- sidered Central's own. Emerson Seitz, ever optimistic, was our fresh- man football and basketball coach. Under his supervision, the future varsity team had an en- joyable season. lncidentally, Cy is quite a golfer. Wade Kraner of Fostoria replaced George Motter as tennis coach at Central. Although here but a short time, Wade has already carved his niche in the hall of coaches. Lewis Miller, who trims Christmas trees in his spare time, replaced Leonard Kline as swim- ming coach. ln this capacity he contributed greatly to the team's success. Ronald Dotson was Central's busiest coach. Not only did he coach basketball, football, cross country, and track: but he also supervised intra- mural activities and athletic instruction. Rex Settlemire was both our basketball and baseball coach. Imported from Eaton, he too can be considered Central's own. Walter Marshall coached junior high basket- ball and aided Mr. Dotson with track. Badmin- ton, tennis. and chess take up his spare time. -QBRUCE ROBINSON Row l Mr. Hauenstc-in, Mr. Jones, Mr. Sottlemiro. Row 2 Mr. Miller. Mr. Bri-ntlinger, Mr, Marshall.

Well, I'll just say hello and let it go at that. HIS year the football, cross country. swimming, and basketball teams possessed many proficient managers. Tom Evans was the varsity football manager: Bob Baker, Jim QButchJ Koch, and Bill Waltermath, as- sistant varsity managers: Warren Hodosko. re- serve manager: Bob Creviston, freshman man- ager. As soon as school is over, the boys cycle to the college field and start their work. When the gridiron eleven gets there, the managers give them their suits. Then they go out on the field and watch the balls. At the end of the practice they bring in the equipment. After the regu- lars and scrubs take their showers, check in their suits, and leave, the managers can be found polishing helmets and cleaning the rooms. The cross country manager was Arthur All- croft, who took care of the boys' suits and kept records of the time they ran. Almost every time the team went on its usual routine run, Art could be seen trailing it on his bicycle. Custer Krickenberger was student manager of the swimming team. This year the Dragon Five had four coma petent helpers, Warren White, varsity manager: Jim Cavanaugh, assistant varsity manager: Jim Ackerman, reserve manager: Ted Short, fresh- man manager: John Pletcher and Billy Snook. junior high managers. This year Central's quintet had new suits. Their pants were a striking, stunning red with white stripes down the sides. Their jerseys were also bright red with silver and green numbers on the front and back. The sweat coats and knee pads were red, with red and white striped stockings to match. -Bots CREVLSTON MCH Association Our intitiation is surely impressive,..We want Ennis for dog catcher. . .Do you know your sports- manship speech? . . .

HE culmination of all masculine ambition -an exclusive brotherhood of athletes-- is the C Association, an organization held in the highest esteem. No association po- sesses more visionary criteria or more formidable prerequisites. To be a member of this clan is a consummation devoutly to be wished, and the realization of this goal should be looked upon as a felicitous achievement. Coaches Thiebert and Scheuerman were in- strumental in organizing this group. An hon- orary society, the C Association selects its members from those athletes who have been presented with a letter in a major sport. Only those who have fulfilled this requirement and who have attained the necessary scholastic quali- fications, are eligible for membership. This organization was formed to promote active participation in athletics, an activity which creates high ideals. Annually, the C Association presents its impressive initiation ceremony in senior assem- bly. In addition to an inviolable pledge, the prospective members hear speeches especially prepared for their benefit. These speeches, en- titled Scholarship , Sportsmanship , Lead- ership , Co-operation , and Honor impart solemnity to the ritual. The capable and efficient officers of the C Association are Robert Graham, president: Carl Williams, vice-president, William Stiles, secre- tary: Lowell Sielschott, sergeant-at-arms, Rob- ert Harrod, treasurer. E. A. Hauenstein, faculty manager of athlet- ics at Central High School, is the able faculty advisor of the C Association. His omni- present humor and peerless advice have made him a superior group leader. -BRUCE ROBINSON Row Row Row Row Row Row Robert Sbrtman, Harlan Miller, Philip Meeks. Mr. Hauenstein, Gene Beeler.

Bettye Tharp, Zell Sandifer, Barbara Allen, and Wesley Bayles, who as- sisted her in leading cheers at assemblies, pep meetings, school dances, basketball and football games, and also at the annual district basket- ball tournament at Findlay, received minor letters. When you start to yell, think of the hours the cheerleaders have spent this year in prac- ticing new cheers and intricate formations. If you have nothing else to do your home room periods, go down to the senior gym and watch their maneuvers. Visitors, who come very un- expectedly at times, are always welcome. The cheerleaders this year changed the mo- tions of nearly all the old cheers. They also ex- perimented with chanting Centra1's I-Iello . At first the students were undecided as to whether they like it or not, but we noticed that the cheer- ing section gave an impromptu chant at many of the games. The squad's suits were very attractive. The girls' outlits were green jumpers and red blouses, while the boys' garb consisted of green trousers with red stripes down the sides, and red shirts with green stripes down the sleeves. These cheerleaders braved all kinds of weath- er to attend all of the home games and many of the out-of-town games, thus deserving and re- ceiving our most hearty thanks. -BETTYE THARP History ol Athletics 1904-Athletics had not developed to a great extent in Lima High School, but there were a few profes- sional teams. 1905-Lima High School had an exceedingly suc- cessful year. 1906-School dances were held after the basket- ball games so the student body would turn out. It's too bad we can't have something like that now. 1907-Baseball had its first successful season. 1908-Here was an early baseball trick. When a man was on third, the catcher would receive the toss from the pitcher. Then he would hide it under his chest protector and throw a potato towards third. The man on third. thinking it to be a wild throw, would start for home. The cacther would then put him out. Good joke on him! 1909-Basketball games were played in twenty- minute halves instead of in quarters. 1910-Football coaches were starting to use the forward pass. Basketball was popular with girls, for it was they who played the preliminary game, while the boys' varsity event followed. l9ll--Students responded better to the coaches' pleas, and athletics were fast assuming their rightful place in the school curriculum. 1912-The football players of yesterday and to- day had the same trouble--they simply could not agree with the officials. Baseball had a very good year, but basketball was unsuccessful. 1913-This was the most successful athletic sea- son in Lima High School, the football team being particularly outstanding. 1914-The Board of Education decreed that there was to be no inter-scholastic sports this year. Inter- class sports were developed, and turned out to be fair- ly good substitutes. Baseball was very successful. Sev- eral games were stopped and forfeited because the spec- tators would surge onto the floor and greatly hinder the players. 1915--Interclass sports were good this year, but there were no interscholastic sports. 1916-This year's tracksters had the best season yet. 1917-Lima High School had hard luck in all sports. 1918-Spring football practice made its initial appearance in Lima. The basketball team was the champion in the Northwestern Ohio Tournament, and received two cups, the first ever to be won by a Lima High School team. 1919-Lima Central and Lima South started their friendly rivalry in sports by Central's losing the first annual Thanksgiving game, 7-10. 1920-Central was a member of the Trolley League, which consisted of Central, South, Tiffin, Bowling Green, Findlay, and Fostoria, in both foot- ball and basketball. South went down to defeat by an indomitable Central eleven, 14-12. 1921-This year's basketball team was the best one Central had for a long time. South won the an- nual football game, 14-12. 1922-For the second straight year. South de- feated Central in the Turkey Day game, 19-0. 1923-The University of Michigan donated a football cup to the first Lima team to chalk up three victories, so an inspired Central team overwhelmed an over-confident South squad. 20-0. This year's foot- ball team was one of the best yet. Track made its appearance in Central. 1924-Central had a new football stadium at the College Field. The second University of Michigan game was played, and again the Dragons defeated South. Bob King won first place in the high-jump at the Ohio State track meet, setting a new state record. He later went on to the 1928 Olympics, winning first place in the high-jump event. 1925-For the first time in the history of Lima schools, the annual football game ended in a scoreless tie. This year Central was chosen one of the ten most outstanding football teams in the state. 1926-Central got permanent possession of the University of Michigan cup by beating South, 7-0, for the third required time. This year three new minor sports--golf. tennis, and baseball-were added. 1927-The coaching staff of Central received a valuable addition by the coming of Cappy Scheuer- man as head basketball coach. Central lost the grid- iron game to South, 6-0, the first time since 1922. 1928-Central had the best basketball season yet, winning seventeen games and losing four. South lost the football game to a superior Central squad, 12-6. Central also acquired a new baseball held. Baseball and tennis became major sports, 1929-The Dragons were the district baseball champions. Central lost a much-fought-for game to a stronger South eleven, 7-0. 1930-Cross country was introduced at Central. Central again lost the football game to South, 7-13. 1931-Basketball was again successful, the team being city champion: winner of the Big Five League, which was made up of Central. South, Findlay, Fos- toria. and Defiance: section champion: and district champion. Not bad for the old Alma Mater's pro- tegesl Also Central came through to win the annual football game, 13-0. 1932-Franklin Young took the backstroke cham- pionship in the state swimming meet. This year's South-Central football game ended in a scoreless tie. 1933-The Dragons won a close game from the Tigers, 6-0. Franklin Young again stroke title. 1934-South was defeated by the Dragon eleven, 14-19, in the Armistice Day game, 1935-For the third consecutive won the annual football game, 19-5. 1936-Golf and tennis were inaugurated as major sports. The annual football event ended by Central's losing, 6-12. 1937-The score of the South-Central game was a tie, 6-6. won the back- season Central 1938-All of the spring sports were successful this season. Central won an evenly-matched football game from South, 12-7. 1939-Basketball was its yearly success.

Miss Sawyer, who also attended Central, was the most outstanding athlete of her class in G. A. A. Who's Who contest. This custom was revived this year, and the following results were announced at the girls' athletic assembly: Floor mop, Margie Surratt: gum chewer, Francine Fess: best forward, C15 Marjorie Rip- ley, CZD Helen Mallett: best guard, CID Fran- cine Fess, CZJ Thelma Von Almen: best center, Virginia Kennedy: best passwork Cteami, C13 senior, Q25 junior: outstanding freshman play- er, Dorothy Hall: outstanding sophomore play- er, Betty Floyd: outstanding junior player. Marjorie Ripley: outstanding senior player, Clj Marian Pritchard, CZD Mary Floyd: most ex- citable player, Fairy Page: calmest player, Mar- cella Roberts: best sport, Clj Mary Floyd, CZF Marcella Roberts. The Girls' Athletic Association is celebrating its fourteenth birthday this year, The original purpose, to encourage a greater number of girls to take part in competitive athletics and to gain one hundred per cent participation in all sports, has been carried out to the nth degree this year. The membership is open to anyone inter- ested in any phase of athletics, and one must bc a member to earn a letter. The G. A. A. spon- sors volleyball, basketball, shuffle-board, hikes, tennis, deck tennis, hit pin baseball, and gives points toward a letter for bowling. Girls earning five hundred points receive numerals: those earning a thousand points, letters. A final emblem is given to the girl best qualified in ath- letic accomplishment, spirit, service, scholarship, and sportsmanship. This year it was awarded to Mary Floyd. -MARJORIE RIPLEY G. BOdI'd Board meeting tonight in the gym offiee...Stop watching basketball practice, and let's get busy... How many points are we going to give for bowling? ...We don't need any points if we don't get any money . . . Let's have a skating party . . . Where? . . . There isn't any place . . . I know . . . Let's have a rummage sale . . . So goes a G. A. A. hoard meeting. HE governing body of the Girls' Athletic Association was organized in 1930 and at that time was called the G. A. A. cabinet. The board, with the aid of Miss Sawyer, plans all the activities to be held during the year. Each board member is in charge of a different sport in which she helps the supervisior decide upon girls for the class teams. This year the board was especially active, sponsoring a hike, a party at the home- made candy sales, and an interclass swimming meet. For the Hrst time in the history of the club, a pin, emblematic of the association, was decided upon by the board. By amending the constitution, sophomore girls, who had earned their required number of points, were awarded their letters. Since the association was increasing its scope in the sponsoring of new sports, the board also had to determine the number of points given for each of these. The greatest problem confronting the board this year was the raising of funds for the awards. It met this situation by raising money in two ways, the selling of candy and of toppers. The members of the board this year were Mary Floyd, president: Marjorie Ripley, vice- president: Marcella Roberts, secretary: Thelma Von Almen, treasurerg Margie Surratt, basket- ball: Francine Fess, minor sports, Frances Metz- ger, hiking: Connie Richardson, tennis: Betty Snyder, publicity. -MARJGRIE RIPLEY Tm! .M 0-ei ...,4 , ,Je w ef- .,.,y',- ' I 1 on -ef Row l Thelma Von Almen, Marcella Roberts, Mary Floyd.

HE athletic season was initiated by a ten- nis tournament with a larger number of participants than ever before. After many close matches, Marjorie Ripley defeated Betty Floyd in the finals. The next sport, intra-mural volleyball, was keenly contested, but Stanford emerged victor- ious. This team consisted of Betty Floyd, cap-- tain: Margie Surratt, Veldine Vaughn, Virginia Alguire, Dorothy Hall, Ellonise Lee, Ruth Mueller, Martha Sims, Karmen Kies, and Doris Plankell, In customary succession, the class teams were then selected by Miss Sawyer and Virginia Kennedy, head of volleyball. The members of the winning team were Marjorie Ripley, captain: Irma Rutter, Helen Mallett, Margie Surratt, Virginia Kennedy, Thelma Von Almen, Mary Wagner, Jeanne Graf, Mary Frederick, Mary Scheufler, Marcella Roberts, Julia Neely, and Corrine Bartlett. The honorary volleyball team consisted of Marjorie Ripley, captain: Helen Mallett, Mar- cella Roberts, Thelma Von Almen, Marian Pritchard, and Mildred Pritchard. After many close games, members of the Maine, with Petey Floyd as their captain, were the winners. They were Marcella Rob- erts, Virginia Alguire, Mary Scheufler, Mildred Harper, Dorothy Hall, Eva Archer, Angeline Benedetto, Mildred Webb, Jacqueline Holyfield, and Gerry Newland. Miss Sawyer and Helen Mallett, the cabinet head of basketball, then chose the interclass basketball teams. The junior class again emerged victorious, although the one-point victory over the seniors tells its own story. The members of this team were Helen Mallett, captain: Virginia Kennedy, Thelma Von Almen, Margie Sur- ratt, Marjorie Ripley, Mary Scheufler, Mary Wagner, Julia Neely, and Angeline Benedetto. -MARJORIE RIPLEY J' 5 f .1 7 ZEW Q ' ' 0 5-'-2:-14 7 .- L , W ay A .,,l N LH. 0 K .

UILL and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, was organized in April, 1926, at the Univer- sity of Iowa. Through Mr. Heffner's efforts, Central received the first charter in Ohio in Oc, tober of the same year. The object of the so' ciety is to instill higher standards of journalism in the high schools of the United States. The rigid requirements limit the member- ship to juniors and seniors doing outstanding work on either of the Mirror staffs in a busi- ness or literary capacity. The candidate must rank in the upper third of his class in scholar- ship and have earned at least fifteen hundred points by a staff rating system. The faculty ad-V visor of the publication on which the candidate has worked must recommend him. Records must be sanctioned by the national committee of the society. There were only two old members of the society-Wanda Slaybaugh, acting president, and Patricia Skinner, acting secretary. Those initiated this year were: June Allison, Dorothy Becher, Marjorie Landes, Jane lVlcCroba, John Robenalt, Jean Short, Junior Stimmel, Bettye Tharp, Dama Lou Tobin, and Ruth Mary Whitney. Each new member is presented with a small gold pin bearing a quill and scroll, symbolic of the meticulous efforts of scribes of old to record the events of their time. The initiation ritual is a solemn and im- pressive ceremony as the young scribes take the vows of ethical journalistic principles. -BETTYE THARP Vjggam. . Row Row Row Row Row Marjorie Landcs.

Throughout the book the staff has endeavored to carry out the theme of Thirty- five years at Central in its write-ups, page planning, and cuts. New features this year were bleed-off cuts, padded covers, and student photography with the exception of the senior and faculty portraits. We have strived to con- trast the ideas and customs of the old high school life in 1905 with the youthful, stream- lined habits of l9'59. lf you have ever walked into Room 319 and have seen a very busy woman surrounded by papers, type proof. and red pencils, it was Miss Messimore, our literary advisor. Her wit and good nature will long be remembered by the lit- erary staff. Did you know why there always was so much activity in Room 7117? You could al- ways find Miss Stuart knee-deep in photo- graphs, film, and boards, busily advising her staff how to mount photographs for the new bleed-ofi cuts. Miss Stuart was indispensable as the photography advisor, and the entire staff will vouch for her talented advice. Think of having the job of budgeting two high school publications, planning and direct- ing the advertising, and giving expert advice on page planning. Those were Mr. l-leffner's duties on the staff as business manager. l-le did an in- genious piece of work this year in keeping within the budget. The Annual Mirror staff thanks Miss Jamison and Miss Stuart for their assistance in reading copy and proof. This is Central's forty-fifth annual, and we hope it may stay on your shelf as a permanent record of your student life, H-JUNIOR STIMMEI. Row Row Row Row Row Row 5 l 2 3 4 6 ? Ann Mericle, Bill Hire.

All material consists of student work. There are few news articles, few advertisements, and many poems and short stories. Time marches on. lt is now l9Z2-An all- time high is recorded as the Mirror is revolu- tionized. An eight-page weekly is established. The editor-in-chief serves as chief executive of both staffs. Era of flaming youth 1922-'29-The new freedom of the era is reflected in the Mirror. No expense is spared to make it an outstanding paper. Money is piling up in the bank: then comes the crash. The business staff wakes up with a headache and a deficit. ' Depression hits Central from 1929 on-- Under the efficient management of H. C. Heff- ner, faculty business advisor of the Mirror. the books finally come out of the red. There is a definite clamping down on expenditures. To make up for the loss of pictures, more emphasis is placed upon the ABC's of journalism. In 1937-38 the Mirror, by this time a bimonthly publication, expands to a six-page schedule with special eight and ten-page editions. Head- lines and general makeup are modernized. The depression enters the second slump period. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? 1939- Financial burdens are increased by a ban on ad- vertising in school papers. The Mirror is re-- duced to twelve four-page issues. In spite of set-backs, Trouper Jamison leads her brave staff on. An effort is being made to make the Mirror more democratic and educational. Casting a parting reflection-In forty-five years the Mirror has risen to great heights and fallen to the depths of despair. Through all, though, it has improved until today the Mir- ror compared with the old 1905 editions seems like a modern newspaper. Thanks to our ad- visors, Miss Laura Jamison and Mr. H. C. Heff- ner, the staff has been wisely guided this year. -PATRICIA SKINNER Row Row Row Row Row 1 2 3 4 5 James Catun, Beverly Walton, Marjorie Hud- nut, Philip Holstine, Mable Harshe, Elaine Wt-nine.

HIS year varsity debate has culminated in the proverbial Waterloo of its thirteenth year, as we were defeated in the semi- finals. The debate question, a most timely one. was Resolved, that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain . The first event was a national high school debate symposium held at Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity, Saturday, November 12. The eight members selected to represent Central were James Sweger, James Zulliger, Charles I-Iill, Wanda Slaybaugh, Marjorie Ripley, Bruce Rob- inson, Dolores Ciast, and John Albertson. On Friday, December 2, eight representatives went to Columbus and heard the debate between Ohio State and the University of Indiana. The teams remained in Columbus for Saturday when Ohio State sponsored a practice tourna- ment for the high schools present. The eight representatives from Central were James Wright, James Sweger, James Zulliger, Charles Hill, Wanda Slaybaugh, Marjorie Ripley, Berneta White, and Dorothea Plaugher. The next Sat- urday, Mr. Boylan took two teams, consisting of Herbert Ciefell, Rogert Wagner, Earl Moreo, and John Albertson, to a practice tournament at Wyoming, Ohio. The last practice tourna- ment of the year was in Fort Wayne, in which all members of the varsity debate squad par- ticipated. The next events were the league debates. James Zulliger and James Sweger took the affirmative: and Charles Hill and James Sweger, the negative. In truly admirable style the teams defeated in order the following: Troy, Fort Recovery, Coldwater, Piqua, Lima South, Wyoming, and Dayton Fairmont. In the state semi-iinals, Central was defeated by Columbus North, the state champions, thereby officially tying for third place. Congratulations to the debaters and to the excellent coaches-Mr. Boylan, Mrs. Pence, and Miss I-Iowey. -MARJoR1E RIPLEY interclass Speech Contest I hope I know my speech! . . .

The winners then competed in the nnal declamations to represent their respective classes. According to the decis- ion of the judges, the senior representatives spoke most effectively. The representatives of the senior class were Herbert Gefell, Charles Hill, Annette Rakow- sky, Miriam Renz, Bruce Robinson. Robert Vandemark, Juanita Woodrufi, and James Zul- liger. The alternates were Marjorie Landes and Veldine Vaughn. The delegates of the junior class were Eleanor McJilton, Shirley Mereness, Earl Mor- eo, Mary Mumaugh, Dorothea Plaugher, Rob-- ert Teitelbaum, Thelma Von Almen, and Berneta White. The alternates were Joseph Sells and Charles Stilgenbauer. Those representing the sophomore class were Joan Bogart, Marilyn Claassen, Marjorie Else, Dolores Gast, Robert Huffer, William Noble, William Parmenter, and Jean Esther Morris. The alternates were Philip Holstine and Mar-4 garet Reece. After further discrimination, recognition was given to the most talented speakers of each class. who gave their speeches in assembly. First, second, and third places in the senior class were awarded to James Zulliger, Bruce Robinson, and Herbert Gefell, respectively. Among the juniors, Dorothea Plaugher was awarded nrst place: Earl Moreo, second place: and Berneta White, third place.

EEING the need for student government in Central, Mr. Moody and the class of 1917 formed the Student Council, which was composed of representatives elected from each room in the building, representatives of the leading organizations, the four class presidents, and the editors and business managers of the school publications. The present council is chosen by popular nomination and election as follows: eight sen- iors, six juniors, four sophomores, two fresh'- men, one eighth grader, and one seventh grader. It had the following oflicers: Robert Harrod, president: Robert Sanders, vice-president: Jane McCroba, clerk: Mr. Huber, faculty advisor. Meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month, and special sessions were called to dis- cuss emergency measures. . At the beginning of the year the following committees were appointed: Dance Committee W- Dorcas Baney, Dick Monbeck,,Custer Krickenberger, Robert Har- rod, Marjorie Ripley, and Jerry Clark. Street Patrol-James Meffley, John Tim' merman, Walter Renz, and Robert Parmenter. Corridor Patrol-Custer Krickenberger, Mar- jorie Ripley, Thelma Von Almen, Wesley Bayles, Robert Heil, and Joyce Cotner. Honor Study Hall-Robert Sanders, Alta Jayne Clark, and Junior Stimmel. Program-Junior Stimmel, Dorcas Baney, and Charles Stilgenbauer. Assemblies-Jane McCroba, senior: Robert Richards, junior. Bulletin Boards-Marcine Blodgett. Lost and Found-Roy Blodgett. Who's Who Contest and Maiden's Chance Week were originated by the council and are under its supervision. Another duty of the organization is the granting of charters to clubs. -BERT STIMMEL Street patrol Hnnk . . . Honk! . . . Watch your speeding . . . Tweet . . . Say, what is this? . . .

Look at that foolish youngster-walking across the street in that line of traffic . . . The patrol- man deserves the credit for saving that boy's life . . . lt's all in a day's work. ITH the brave spirit of martyrs, the audacious boys who belong to the street patrol braved all the dangers of icy winds, stormy gales, and reckless driving to make life safer for the pedestrians on the four corners adjacent to Central. These hardy fel- lows directed traflic before school and at dis- missals. A year's satisfactory service was necessary to receive an award. The oflicers for the past year were Virgil Mousa, president, Hrst semester: Richard Meff- ley, president, second semester: Herbert Gefell, vice-president, second semester: James Welty. secretary: Robert Gavin, treasurer: Edward Meeks, sergeant-at-arms. James Meflley, John Timmerman, Walter Renz, and Robert Parmenter composed a com- mittee from the Student Council who attended all meetings of the Street Patrol. The job of directing the traflic around Cen- tral is a man-sized job. These young patrolmen safely directed the pedestrians across the inter- sections. Careless drivers and impatient pedestrians kept them busy and sometimes kept their lives from becoming dull, although this year has been very free from accidents. Mr. Huber, the faculty advisor, and all thirty-Eve members of this fine group have done a remarkable job this year. Scarcely any organ- ization in Lima has done as much to promote safety as the Street Patrol. Perhaps if it had not been for them, you would have been struck by some reckless driver. -E.

ITH all the hubbub and noise around Central in the mornings and at noon, something had to be done about un-f locked lockers, halls strewn with paper, tardi- ness, and general congestion. The Corridor Patrol, supervised by the Stu- dent Council, was organized as a surveillance squad to maintain proper conduct in the hall. Honorary pins were awarded to these hall mon- itors who reported at 8:05 and 12:30 daily. faithfully fulfilling their duties. Student Council members who presided at the Corridor meetings were: Marjorie Ripley, Thelma Von Almen, Wesley Bayles, Bob Heil, Joyce Cotner, and Custer Krickenberger, who acted as chairman. Throughout the year the members per'- formed their duties very proficiently. These monitors were especially needed on the junior high side where many new students were un-- familiar with Central's rules in general. On March 'Sl the Hall Patrol with the Hon- or Study Hall monitors and Street Patrol com- bined, sponsored an April Fool party, which turned out to be fun for all. General qualifications for a hall monitor are dependability, patience, and obedience in ob- serving school laws. A hall monitor who has all of these qualifications is a great benefit to Central and its students. Under the guidance of Mr. Huber, the Cor- ridor Patrol has known a very successful year and has served Central very valiantly. -ZELL SANDIIIIER Honor Study Hall The bell has just rung . . .

F we go back seven short years in the history of Central. we find the Honor Study Hall, a project of the Student Council, being formed. A short time later it was voted down by the student body. In l933 the question of the honor study hall was again presented and adopted. The express purpose of the reorganized Hon- or Study Hall is to cultivate honor among the student body of Central. If any student abuses this privilege, he is promptly dispatched to Study Hall 307. The chairman is in complete charge of the Honor Study Hall and is chosen at the begin, ning of the school year from the qualified upper classmen. Robert Sanders acted as chairman of the Honor Study Hall Committee this year and had two efiicient assistants, Alta Jayne Clark and Junior Stimmel. The faculty advisors, Miss Watson and Mr. Huber, ably counselled the members of the Honor Study Hall Committee. The very appropriate rules of the Honor Study Hall which must be adhered to are as follows: Only one person may leave the room at a time after permission is granted by the monitor: two persons may speak at a time for intervals of three minutes: no one is to speak Without permission: all scrap paper must be picked from the floor at the end of the fourth and eighth periods: and all pupils must wait two minutes after the bell rings at the end of the fourth and eighth periods before dismissal, Every period, except the fifth, seven moni- tors or their assistants check the roll and keep order in Central's Honor Study Hall. --BETTYE THARP I Row Row Row Row Row 1 2 3 4 5 Jane Guernsey, Doris Sneary, James Nellis Zell Sandifer.

Students skipped school, June 8, to attend the Barnum and Bailey greatest show on earth. P. S. They were smart. The popular saying was 23 skiddoo . Men's riding coats were four inches from the ground. My, oh my! No wonder they tripped running after the fairer sex. The girls wore Eows around their necks, and buckles on their ats. The boys gained yardage in football, and the girls gained yardage in their box-pleated skirts. The skirts were only thirteen and three-fourths yards in width. Buster Brown shoes were worn by the populants of Central. To be in tune with the times the girl students wore mohair skirts in eleven-gore, umbrella- plaited effects. The only trouble with the new patent leather shoes was the fact that they cracked. Some bright person said, They match the personality of many Central pupils. Buzz, squeak, boom. That was just the new Central High Orchestra getting tuned up. This was their organization year. Much velour was shown for both boys' and girls' apparel. . The reason the boys weren't dancing so much this year was that the plumes and feathers on the new hats tickled their clean-shaven faces. Weddings were portrayed in the Annual Mirror. What is this world coming to? The boys wore their trousers two to three inches above their ankles. They just had to show off their high buttoned shoes. In order to protect themselves from the chills of the cold winter days, the girls wore turbans. Class Day was started. Everyone had a rowdy old time as you can imagine. Shoes got higher and higher, and I don't mean in price. The fairer sex wore white canvas shoes reaching to the knees. Nearly everybody was absent on May 18. It couldn't have been that William S. Hart in Blue Blazes Rawden was at the Faurot Theater-or could it? Honor pins were given to students who helped in Red Cross work. Tunes were Johnny, Get Your Gun and Over There . The teachers. at least some of them, liked the plaid skirts and vest tops that were shown for women. To hide their lovelyC?J necks, girls threw scarfs around them. Long hair was going out of fashion, and bobbed hair was coming in. seventy-two 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 1939 The pride of the Alma Mater, the Central High School Band, was formed. Can't you just see it marching proudly across the football field wearing the Central colors, red and green? Pigtails and large hair ribbons were back in style. Girls were hiding their faces in poke bonnets. What's the matter, girls? Do I see chests puffed out? Well, why shouldn't they be? Central received national honors on this year's Annual. Central was the first school in Ohio to become a member of the Quill and Scroll Society. The Mikado , a dearly beloved light opera, was given by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. It was the first opera to be presented by a Lima high school. , The Student Council, a worthy body of student solons, was organized. Norma Talmadge and Dolores Costello were the popular screen actress- es of the day. Was everybody happy? The Ziegfeld Follies came to the Ohio. Pleated skirts with low waist- lines were here. To get by in the world this year you had to be a flapper, so they tell me. Congratulations. The Scrap-Iron Quartet won first place in the Northwestern Ohio Eisteddfod held at Ada. Dresses were still low- waisted, and they reached the knees. Our basketball team went to Columbus to com- pete in the state championship for the first time in the history of Central. The Central swimming team set a new state record in winning the medley relay. Boys paraded around showing off their sus- penders, and girls their jumpers. Everyone sang The Music Goes Round and Round . One of the nicest groups of freshmen ever to attend a high school, entered here in Septem- ber. Some day they may graduate. We have some cute new teachers up at school this year. I guess school isn't so bad after all. Angora, from the new angora sweaters. floated through the air and stopped on a lot of boys' sweaters and coats. Such a queer place, no? The boys all have heinies. Even some of the cute little boys have attempted to cut their own hair and that of other people too. Some barbersl 1 Hair is being piled up on top of the head: skirts are going shorter: girls are wearing the new wooden shoes. On the whole this is quite a different year for all of us. We wish the grad- uating seniors all the luck in the world when they start out on their life's work, and we salute Don David, who was class president for four successive years, for guiding this class through its school life. --BETTYE FFHARP y 4w?l'l, 'V ' .xx .X X, 0 f v' wi f fl f'.

OR seventeen years Ccntral's band has been growing steadily from a small group of in- experienced players sans uniforms and ore ganization into a band of eighty members, com- pletely organized and uniformed. The Senior Band was started in 1922 under Mr. Du Pere. Its ranks were filled with sweatered boys, puff- ing and blowing strange sounds from clarinets, saxaphones, piccolos, basses, corners, baritones, and trombones. The gay, bright uniforms, many-figured dc- signs, and three talented drum majors were noted features of the band this year. The musi-f cians practiced every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the auditorium in addition to many long hours of marching in which intricate ng' ures were perfected. This year's oflicers were William Zumbrun. prcsidentg Peggy Curtiss, secretary: Paul Shep- herd, treasurer: Dorothy Winegardner, li- brarian: Virgil Mousa, student manager. Under Mr, H. O. Clark, the director, and Mr. C. O. Ciuy, the business manager, the band proudly displayed its talents during the Northwest Ter- ritory pageant, at the Armistice Day parade, the Navy Day celebration, at the Band festival in May, and in various other school activities. Peggy Curtiss, the head drum major, was ably assisted by Clayton Amspaugh and Robert Zumbrun, This threesome showed great skill in the maneuvering of such a large band. The next time you happen to drift into the auditorium and hear weird noises from shiny instruments in front of perspiring faces, you will know it's Central's band, practicing to at-f tain perfection. -BERT WILSON STIMMEL, JR. Junior Band The sound of marching feet . . . Has the enemy come to get us? . . . No, it is Central's Junior Band . . . It certainly can strut... Look at that drum corps and saxaphone brigade . . . Can't you just hear the flutes? ...Someday it will be the Senior Band-the pride and joy of Central-and these young instrumentalists can hardly wait until that day comes. LTHOUGH the Junior Band was with- out uniforms this year, it bravely up- held the traditions of a junior organiza- tion. In 1933 Mr, Evans gave heed to the clamoring of the younger students to organize a junior band. In 1935 Mr. Clark assumed the leadership of this musical group, who re- ceived uniforms from the Senior Band. From a meager start of fourteen members, this young organization has reached a total membership of forty-six. At the beginning of the year there were only three new members, but now there are thirty prospective ones. At first weekly scale and harmony sessions were held on Friday after school, but now these young musicians meet on Tuesdays and Thurs- days the seventh period in the auditorium. On the eve of April 21, a merry crowd filled the auditorium to see the annual spring festival. At that time the band played the following se' lections: Star March , Commander March , Angelus-Choral , Marilyn Waltz , Coast Guard , and Sky Ride , which everyone en- joyed thoroughly. This year's officers were as follows: David Jenkins, president: Dick Welker, secretary: Frances Ousley, treasurer: Anita Greenberg, li- brarian. The Junior Band is made up of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students who have marked musical ability and a keen desire to play in such a group. You will probably be seeing more of these young instrumentalists in our Senior Band, as the object of this organization is to supply material for it. -NADINE SPEER E Row Row Row Row Row 5 1 2 3 4 Jack Shoup, Lewis Hamilton.

And that's a typical practice. HE Girls' Glee Club meets every Wednesf day the sixth period in Room 261. Or- ganized in 1914, it is one of the oldest organizations in Central. Membership is open to any sophomore, junior, or senior girl who is interested in choral work. The oflicers selected for this year are as fol' lows: president, Jane McCroba: vice-president. Ruth Severns: secretary, Carol Black: treasurer, Bettye Tharp: librarian, Betty Davies. The girls' ensemble is also chosen from this group. This year it is composed of Jean Esther Morris, Rosemary Weber, and Mary Jane Sulli- van, lirst sopranos: Ruth Severns, Juanita Pow- ell, and Betty Davies, second sopranos: Jane McCroba, Jane Marshall, and Carol Black, altos: and Betty Neese, pianist. In January this group represented Central at a luncheon of the Federated Womens Clubs and also at the Y. W. C. A. twentieth anniversary celebration. Every year the Girls' Glee Club participates either in an eisteddfod or in the state contest. This year the selections for the state contest were Sound Sleep by Christine Rossetti and R. Vaughn Williams, and 1dyll by Katherine Adams and Cecil Forsyth. Some other numbers frequently sung by the Girls' Glee Club are The Spirit Flower . Vale of Tuoni , A Bird Flew , A Snow Legend . and Carni- val. Since the district eisteddfod was discontinued, a spring festival was held here on April 28. The Girls' Glee Club sang the state contest num- bers and other selections. Jane McCroba received a superior rating in the State Music Contest at Oberlin. Her selec- tion was When Two That Have Are Parted by Secchi. Nlr.

N organization of ambitious vocalists, the Boys' Glee Club, devoted the entire year to the study of choral singing. Their repertoire included The Marching Song , Down Among The Dead Men , 'lThe Cassion Song , The Wolf , and many other compositions requiring both marvelous tech- nique and superior voice quality. Genuine pleas- ure and invaluable experience were derived from the presentation of this program. This year instead of competing in a local eisteddfod, a mixed ensemble sang at the dis- trict musical festival at Bowling Green. George Miller, Herbert Gefell, and Bruce Robinson represented the Boys' Glee Club in this en- semble. Tenor and bass solos were also pre- sented by George Miller and Herbert Gefell, respectively. For these young singers the musi- cal festival provided not only competitive ex- perience, but also actual vocal training. As someone once said, One can never be a singer until one has endured the scathing rebuke of an eisteddfod adjudicator . The Glee Club was extremely fortunate in having as its director the capable Mark Evans, who is also famous as the director of the Lima Choral Society. His creed is perfection and his choruses exemplify that creed. The officers of the Boys' Glee Club were Herbert Gefell, president: Bruce Robinson, vice- president: James Welty, secretary and treasurer. -BRUCE ROBINSON Row l Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 liob MeH'ley.

For the benefit of the students greatly interested in vocal instruction, tryouts are held during the iirst part of the school year. Mem- berships are determined from these tryouts. the seventy successful applicants being chosen by Mr. Mark Evans, the director of this choir. In 1914 Mr. Evans and Central music en-- thusiasts organized the Boys' Glee Club, and a year later, the Girls' Glee Club. In 1916 the latter became the Choral Club. Both organiza- tions combined in 1935, and were called the A Cappella Choir. The purpose of this club is to cultivate an appreciation in music and in ad- vanced choral training. The choir, which meets on Mondays and Thursdays in the auditorium during the fifth period, often sings at student assemblies and at meetings of the Rotary Club and of the Parent- Teachers' Association. In the intent faces of these vocalists Mr. Evans reads the desire and ambition to make the most of the opportuni- ties afforded, and perhaps he also reads there the yearning for a successful musical future. The oiiicers are Herbert Gefell, president: Mary Floyd. vice-president: Carol Black, sec- retaryg and James Mefliey, treasurer. The appreciation of those who attentively listen to the melodious airs of this group and a wish for its continued success go to the A Cap- pella Choir and its inspiring leader. -NADINE CoRsoN Junior Chorus ls everyone here? . . .

HE Junior Chorus, composed of junior high students and freshmen, was organ- ized in 1934 to give the younger Central- ites vocal instruction and ultimately to prepare them for the Senior High Chorus. It meets every Monday and Wednesday the sixth period under the direction of H. O. Clark, who has successfully trained its members. While the sev- enth and eighth graders receive no credit for this vocal activity, the freshmen receive one-fifth credit. This organization is increasing in size yearly and shows every indication of becoming one of Central's most prominent musical groups. Usually the singers who are trained in the Junior Chorus eventually become members of the Senior A Cappella Choir. From the regular chorus Mr. Clark chooses a special group known as the Junior A Cappella Choir. This is an especially promising division made up of some of the finest singers in the original organiza- tion. They seldom appear publicly, but their per formances are well worth hearing: the most important of these is the annual spring fes- tival. At this year's music festival on April 21 these young people had an opportunity to dis- play their voice training which represented end- less hours of practice. v The officers for both organizations are as follows: John Timmerman, president: Nancy Leech, vice-president: Frances Ousley and Nata- lie Gregg, secretaries: and Phyllis Garrett, treasurer. -PAULINE BRANNOCK 1 1 Row 1 Blodgett, Taylor, Brower, Weaver, Mervis Speer, Callahan, Mousa, Davison.

Thirty-seven instrumentalists play in this musical organization, but a total of fifty- seven is the goal of Mr. Clark, the director. Although lamenting the small membership, Mr. Clark cheerfully refers to his orchestra as the best balanced one he has had in years. Practi- cally every instrument is represented, and therefore better music is produced at assemblies. plays, and various civic affairs. Officers of this Central organization are Bruce Robinson, president: Bill Zumbrun, vice-president: Ray Peterson, secretary: and Jack Miller, treasurer. If you are the cold-blooded type and like chills running up and down your spine, creep into the darkened auditorium some Tuesday or Thursday the first period, drop into a seat, close your eyes, and listen! A faint wail, a sound like the rumble of thunder, a loud, flat, squeak as if someone were opening an old door with rusty hinges-all these reverberations assail your ears as the orchestra tunes up, A moments pause-the director raises his baton and the auditorium resounds with the dulcet strains of old and famous waltzes. If you also wish to hear stirring marches, attend the various func- tions at which the orchestra plays and hear the results of long hours of hard work and practice. Witlaout such musical geniuses as the orches- tra contains, Central would lack that cultural touch she is so proud to possess. -PAULINE BRANNoCK A L 0 I c1'gh1y one Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Mrs. Rhone-mus, llc-rt Stimmel, Ret- tye Tharp. liruce Robinson, V4-ldinc Vaughn, Patricia Skinner.

Shunned and persecuted, he gradually degenerated into a cold and grasping old miser. Godfrey, in a moment of sheer folly, had married a young woman far beneath his sta' tion, and who, as later events proved, fell so far short of his ideals that life with her became intolerable. Almost too late he realized most bitterly that he had sacrificed irretrievably the precious and exalting love of Nancy Lammeter. In time Silas' hold on happiness-his love for gold-was stolen from him and he was plunged into the darkest despair and misery. At the height of his anguish, however, an incident occurred which proved eloquently that the slumbering soul of man may ever be awakened and his faith in humanity restored by the rea deeming touch of a pure and unsullied love. Wall Spence adapted this gripping commen- tary on human nature and spiritual regenera- tion to dramatic form from the book of Silas Marner , which was written by George Eliot. Everyone had the privilege of seeing the fascinating characters of this great book come to life behind the footlights in an arresting dramatic adaptation given by the seniors on May 12 in the school auditorium. Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus was the adroit coach: Virginia Wade, business manager: Betty Jane Smith. property manager: and Ruth Hall, wardrobe mistress. -BETTYE THARP Junior Class Play Apron String Revolt Mrs. Elizabeth Holt Miss Annabelle Madden Mrs. Alden - - - Mrs. l..1nig.1n A David Holt - - Mary l.ou - - - Henry lienstermacher Messenger Boy - - Miss Martin - - Mr. W.ide - Grocery Boy - Officer Clancy - Helen Dodge - .lack Alden - - Zell Zandifer Nadine Carson Ann Blatfenberg Marjorie Ripley Plowurd Batfles Shirley Mereness Jerry MciVilliams - Jerry Clark lVlarjorie Botkin - Paul Downs Quentin Nlaxfielfil 1 - - Joe Sells Bettie Da Uies - Orrie Barr This vear, on November 18. the junior class presented Apron String Revolt , a play which revealed the astounding fact that many a per- son at the age of sixteen is still considered an infant by his elders. How David Holt and his mother coped with this problem and how it was solved furnished the plot for the story. Elizabeth Holt, David's young and widowed mother, kept trying to get him to do the little things for her through an appeal to his chiv-- alry and paternal instinct. After David ran away from home because he felt babied and because he disliked girls, Elizabeth soon realized her mistake. Mr. Eenstermacher, football coach and Dav- id's idol, found Elizabeth very interesting and after David's return from an experience that led everyone to believe him a murderer, won her through her friend Annabelle's advice. Little Mary l.ou Perkins, who had long ad- mired David, finally succeeded in captivating him. Mrs. Rhonemus chose characters which were well fitted to the roles which they portrayed so excellently. The following people assisted in producing the play: Dorothy Becher, pub- licity manager: Betty Creps, business manager: Mary Mumaugh, property manager.

S the lights dimmed and the applause heightened, the curtain fell on the last play of the season. The Troubadourian Club had completed its twenty-second year. The Troubadourian Society was started in 1918 by Miss Zella Foster, then the head of the English department, to take the place of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior dramatic societies. This club's purpose was to study dramatics, but the spirit of the theater so obsessed its members that they began presenting annual and bi-monthly plays. This year sixty members met every first and third week in the auditorium and presented the following plays which met with much approval: Keeping Kit- ty's Dates , The Christmas That Bouncedw. 'iThe Hoodooed Hindu , The House of Greed , Too Much Static , The Contest Play , 'iWhat An Act , Borrowing Trou- ble , and 'Beauty Secrets . At the first meeting of the year after the try- outs had been completed, Bruce Robinson was elected president: Miriam Renz, vice-president: Jane McCroba, secretary: and Jane Guernsey, treasurer. The club's activities throughout the year were under the supervision of the program com- mittee, which consisted of Patricia Bourk, Pa-f tricia Skinner, Jo Ann Bowman, Miriam Renz. Mary Jane Sullivan, Jane McCroba, Junior Stimmel, and John Becht. This year's contributions to Central's call- board was The Black Flamingo , presented March 17, in the auditorium and coached by Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus, the talented director of these youthful dramatists. -JUNIOR STIMMEL Troubadourian play The Black Flamingo HE BLACK FLAMINGOH, a dramatic mystery in three acts, was presented in the auditorium of Central High School on March l7. An old castle, the Black Flamingo, now an inn, furnished the setting for many a dark and sinister deed. The innkeeper, Felipe Bodier, was convincingly enacted by Quentin Maxfield. while his wife, Nicole, a partner in crime, was excellently portrayed by Miriam Renz. Our first surprise came when the priest, bet- ter known as Joe Sells, discarded his robe and revealed himself as the Count Cagliostro. Robert Gilmore, as Trigaud the fiddler, created those weird tones which arose from the chimney. The play centered around the disappearance of the historical diamond necklace of Marie Antoinette. We suspected first one character and then another, but in the third act we learned that Bossange the jeweler-James Wright to you-was the real culprit. The glory of this amazing discovery fell upon Count Cagliostro, who, through clever scheming, retrieved the jewels. His cunning again manifested itself when he succeeded in finding the lost brother of Diana and Charlotte de Lussac. These at- tractive sisters were portrayed by Patricia Bourk, who typified the beautiful lady of the court, and Virginia Alguire, who most ably characterized her younger sister. We will never forget Diana's hypnotic scene in the second act. Bert Stimmel, the hot-tempered Francois de Lussac, also an ardent admirer of Marie An--A toinette, was rushing to Austria to seek help for the queen. Bruce Robinson deserves much praise for his fine performance as Eugene de Lussac, the worried father. At the close of this mysterious drama, the principals were fleeing from Gavrouche CRich- ard Neumanl. Bourien CWarren Jacobsl, and their band of cutthroats, Gavrouche, as a scheming beggar, displayed to the audience a feeling of deep hatred for the nobility, and Bourien continually bragged.

I wonder when my turn is...Wish me luck...l was so scared my knees positively shook...I wonder who made the club?...Their names are on the bulletin board...I made it!...Now I can sleep tonight. IFTEEN years ago, Miss Fares organized the Masqueraders' Club to further interest in dramatic entertainment. This organiza- tion is now under the direction of Miss Jeanette Stuart. Membership in the club is limited to fresh- men and sophomores. To join it is necessary to be successful in the tryouts conducted at the be- ginning of the school year by a committee of English teachers and the club supervisor. Poise. posture, voice quality, facial expression, inter- pretation of the selection, and exit are all care- fully considered in the selection of club members. At the iirst meeting the following officers were elected: Philip Holstine, president: Doris Levy, vice-president: Frances Ousley, secretary: Paul Newland, treasurer: and Marjorie Else, program chairman. During the year, one-act plays have been presented and directed by the club members and progress has been marked in both of these lines. Some of the plays given were 'iOrville's Big Date , i'Wisdom Teeth , i'Almost Seventeen , and Buddy Buys An Orchid . The annual play committee composed of Rosemary Hardy, Natalie Woodruff, Philip Holstine, and Paul Newland, chose China Boy as its production. As an original feature a discussion of past plays was given. The plays reviewed were Wild Ginger , The Quest , The Nut Farm , A'Slightly Delirious , and Going On Seventeen . Central dramatic monologist, and a Chicago stock company, to follow dramatic careers. Their early experiences in clubs inspired Jean Welty, Charles Condit, an actor in Miss Stuart has been an excellent supervisor of the Masqueraders' Club, and all admire her skill in producing enjoyable productions. -MARTHA NICHOLS Nlasqueradersi Play China Boy OMEDY was again the keynote of the Masqueraders' annual play, China Boy . which was presented on February 3. The plot of this comical production centered about an average American family, the Parkers. Mr. and Mrs. Parker were excellently portrayed by Robert Heil and Natalie Vv'oodruff. Roberts characterization of a high school principal was convincing. Natalie pushed her own personality into the background in her portrayal of a loving modern mother, the true test of acting. They were confronted with the problem of their teen- age children. Bill, enacted by William Geiser, who finally played the part of an irresponsible football enthusiast, and Selma, played by Mari- lyn Claassen in the genuine manner of a young sister whose only interest was in winning a free trip to Hollywood. Harry Fockler, por- traying the part of China Boy, the perfect goody-goody. fully delineated his role by his liar-Eastern appearance and his quotations of Confucius. To make an audience dislike you is a very difficult feat, but Gloria Stark did just this in her role of a tactless, scheming girl who stopped at nothing to attain her ambition. Bob Trout- man, Bill's friend, played by Philip I-lolstine, was amusing, as he was generally confused over Mark's quotations from Confucius. The part of the slow thinking, moving, and talking maid was superbly dramatized by Wavellene Beeler. Every play has a villain, and Paul New- land played the cocksure. constantly sneering. dehnitely unlikeable character with dramatic ability. One of the highlights of the production was the party sequence with Claudine Renz playing several musical selections. Members of the party sequence were: Jewel Stalter, Paul Vittur, Shirley Haines, Joan Hinkle, and Frances Snyder. The scene was well set by Marjorie Else and Abby Ciene Thomas. The problems of public- ity, tickets, programs, and ushers were capably handled by Paula Bersee. Congratulations to Miss Stuart, our able di- rector, for a delightful evening of enjoyment. -MARTHA NICHOLS Row Row Row Row Row Miss Stuart, Joan Jones, Harry Foekler.

IGI-ITS, action, but no camera-this is just a one-act play by members of the eighth grade Thespian Club. The meetings are held in Room 307 where plays, amateur hours, and sketches written by students in the club are presented every second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The first sketch. which was written by a member in the club. was A Screech in the Dark , by Joan Thomp- son. The plays consisted of everything from tackling boys to imitating canaries. Comedies were the most popular of these stage produc- tions. The meetings were always called to order by the president, Dick Zimmerman. After the announcements were made the pro- gram director, Deloris Bryan, introduced the play and the cast. After the production dis- cussions were held. The members attended school plays and movies and then discussed the acting and stage presence of the performers. In 1932, Miss Lippincott succeeded Miss Hawisher as supervisor of the club. At that time the name was changed from Junior Trou- badours to the present name, Thespian. The club has a membership of sixty-five, inf cluding the following oflicers: Dick Zimmer- man, president, Bob Bowman, vice-president, Nelda Mills, secretaryg Joan Lutz, treasurer, Deloris Bryan, program chairman. The purpose of the club is to furnish pros- pective members for the senior high dramatic organizations and class plays, and to further interest in dramatics in general. --NADINE SPEER The Thespian Club of The Seventh Grade A new organization . . .

That's the seventh grade Thespian Club. HE seventh grade Thespian Club is an in- novation in our club ranks. Because of the overwhelming number of young actors in 1936. the club was divided into two groups- the seventh grade group and the eighth grade group-with two supervisors, Mr. Slater and Miss Lippincott, respectively. In 1937, how- ever, the club again became one organization, and remained so until this year when Miss Lutz supervised the seventh grade group and Miss Lippincott continued her work as supervisor of the eighth grade club. This year the enrollment of this group of dramatists is seventy and its ofliicers are Mary Lou Sandifer, president: Miriam Clark, vice- president: Helen Weaver, secretary: and Mar- ian Morgan, treasurer. The club, which meets in Room 307 on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, aims to teach the students to appear in public and to train them in dramatics. Short plays are pre- sented at the meetings, after which constructive criticism is given by the members. The meetings are very entertaining and edu- cational and everyone participates in the inter- esting discussion after the plays. On the whole the club is doing fine work and its plays are very good. May it continue to produce pro- grams of equal merit. -NADINE SPEER I Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Clark, Morgan, Weaver, Sandifer. Elliott, Cottrell. King, Krouse.

Black patent-leather shoes squeaked as the high school dandies and their leg-of- mutton sleeved girls sat through not one, but two junior class plays- The Romancersn and The Suffragettesu. l9l2- Twelfth Night by the senior class was applauded with great enthusiasm. Don't forget the junior production, Mr, Bob ! 1913-I guess we were certainly overshadowed by the alumni when they presented Sunset -where have they been hiding? The program this year ran from one extreme to the other- Half Back Sandy , presented for the benefit of the Athletic Association, to Nathan Hale , by the senior class. A Rose of Plymouth Town was also presented. 1914-In The Nautical Knot Florence Priest had the leading role, and brought the play with its splendid cast into the limelight. 1915-The juniors gave Green Stockings --now no remarks. I hope the latter will never be a fad! l9l6-Carroll's Mad Hatter, Alice, and The Knave of Hearts all came to life in the Lima High School Dramatic Club's version of Alice in Wonder- land . Orchids to Josephine Sherwood who portrayed Alice. 1917-The juniors gave a comedy, The Arrival of Kitty , and the seniors gave The Man on the Box . a drama. 1918-This year saw the forming of the class dramatic societies into the Troubadourian Society by Miss Zella Foster.

CP. S. With- out Miss Fairfaxl. 1928- Mrs, Bumstead-Leigh -sounds rather up- pish, doesn't it? Wonder if she's a relative of Vivian Leigh of G. W. T. W. fame? It was an excellent per- formance of the Troubadours. The Masqueraders pre- sented Dummy -and no comments! 1929-The Troubadours presented a repeat per- formance of Green Stockings . The Masqueraders' play, An Economical Boomerang , was a boomerang of a success. 1930-The Troubadourians presented Betty's Last Bet , followed by the Masqueraders' The YVhole Truth . 1931-The Troubadours gave their first mystery play- The Call of the Banshee . Will you ever for- get Charles Condit? Wild Ginger was the Masquer- aders' play for the year. 1932-Flying ghosts and skeletons haunted the Central auditorium in the Troubadourian play. Spooks .

The Quest , the Masqueraders' play of modern life, was a success. 1934- The Ninth Guest gave us thrills, chills. and plenty of action. Mama's Baby Boy gave us laughs, wit, and good wholesome amusement. The junior high play was Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch . Little Women , Louisa Alcott's masterpiece, was realistically portrayed by the seniors. 1935- Riddle Me This was the Troubadourian contribution, and Seventeen was the Masqueraders'. The seniors gave a comedy, Nothing But the Truth . Well shut mah mouth, another minstrel was presented with black face jokers, 'n' everything. 1936- The Thirteenth Chair was the spine thriller, and I couldn't even find a seat-Did the Mas- queraders show them they had talent? Growing Pains was well directed and staged. The seniors got dramatic with The House of Seven Gables . 1937- Slightly Delirious was delirious with laughs. The Call of the Banshee , a repeat perform- ance of this play, was very well received. The Scottish ballad, Annie Laurie , was the senior contribution. 1938--The Masqueraders presented Going On Seventeen . Look at the new curtain and everything. The juniors showed their talent in Sweet Sixteen . and the seniors showed serious characterization in Pomander Walk . Did you ever see so many spiders, screams, and frightened people in your life as in the Troubadourian production of the Tower Room Mystery ? 1939-Now we are getting foreign--the Mas- queraders gave China Boy . From a modern comedv to a dramatic sequence of the French Revolution is Central's dramatic scope-The Troubadourians pre- sented The Black Flamingo . Will you ever forget that gruesome old fireplace? The class of '39 gave its last play on Central's stage- Silas Marner . It was really good. As we leave Central, we hope our ability as actors and actresses will be long remembered by the classes to come. P. S. Also our signatures on the back of the scenery-look out, here comes Steiner. -JUNIOR STIMMEI. 'fl an ' .Q 'T W X XX M y n- ffsym 1 .W 531+f :5 4 .

Meeting will now come to a close with still nothing settled. S the gavel closes another session, the Senate boasts of twenty-three years of activity in Central. ln the memorable year of 1916, Mr. W. E. Binkley organized the Wranglers' Debating Club. Because of steady growth and changing ideas, the club changed its name to the Central Senate and then to the Senate Club. It is mod- eled after the United States Senate and is founded to train students in parliamentary pro- cedure, to encourage public speaking and de- bate, and to study current problems. Any day one can find some nervous orator with a not too happy face ready to express his views on some political question. Its twenty-four members have argued and debated the questions at issue in Room 3Ol every Wednesday under the direction of Sena- tor Taylor. The club was divided into two sessions. The officers of the first session were Robert Gwynn, president: Robert Heffner, vice- president: James Welty, secretary: Robert Wag- ner, treasurer: Robert Kerr, sergeant-at-arms. The officers of the second session were Robert Wagner, president: Cieorge Miller, secretary: Robert Gwynn, vice-president: Robert Kerr, treasurer: Robert Heffner, sergeant-at-arms. This year the talented orators debated the following topics: lowering the frequency of WLW, fortifying Cwuam, and abolishing PWA. May the Senate Club of the future adhere to the fine traditions and reputation laid down by this organization in the past years. -BERT STIMMEL. Stage Club At whom is Charles Covey smiling? . . . At a pretty girl? .. . Mr. Smith and Mr. Steiner certainly like to have their pictures taken . . . Or don't they? . . . Every- body seems to be smiling . . . Maybe Mr. Stanton Steiner has just told one of his famous jokes... Maybe it is just a camera smile. . . Well, the club is surely happy over someone or something. N 1936 Mr. Santon W. Steiner and Mr. Al- bert J. F. Smith organized the Stage Club. the sixteen members of which meet every Wednesday during club period to discuss and learn about the technicalities of the stage. Six of these members compose the stage crew, and it is their privilege to choose their successors from the remaining ten at the end of each year. Naturally it is the ambition of each boy to be on the stage crew for four successive years. This group takes charge of lighting effects, the cur- tain, and stage settings for all activities in the auditorium. Belonging to the stage club is no easy task, for its members can be found work-- ing late at night amid swinging guy ropes, amber spots, and the din of hammers, erecting sets for the plays presented at Central. At a typical meeting the stage manager, Ware ren White, usually presides. The boys take at- tendance and attend to any other business of the club. Next they report on topics pertaining to the stage: for instance, some of the boys went to the Ohio Theater to see the kind of lighting used in a stage show. The officers of the club are as follows: War' ren White, stage manager: Charles Covey, as- sistant stage manager: Bob Boose, secretary and treasurer: Mr. Steiner and Mr. Smith, advisors. A banquet is held each year for the boys in the club at the Hotel Norval. -BOB CREVISTON Row Row Row Row Wztrrcn White, Charles Covey, Mr. S14-int-r.

F you are one who has felt a yearning to see strange exotic peoples and to hear their gut- tural conversations in fascinating foreign lands, there is a club that will help you to real- ize this desire. In 1933 the Foreign Corre- spondence Club was organized with Miss Grace Tressel as advisor. This year Miss Gertrude Marshall, who spent last summer abroad, has been the faculty sponsor of the group, and under her supervision the club has enjoyed pro- grams which were especially interesting and educational. During the meetings letters from Switzer- land, Spain, England, Germany, Italy, and various other foreign countries have been read. Interesting talks on Germany, Sweden, Nor- way, and Iceland have been given by one of our Centralites, Miriam Renz. Several prominent women have given varied illustrated lectures on their travels abroad and in the United States. Miss Alice Ruf of the Lima Public Library staff talked to the club about illuminated manuscripts. She exhibited several very old and very beautiful ones belong ing to the library's collection. To some of the club members this is a new and fascinating field of study. The chief purpose of the organization, which meets every second and fourth Wednesday in Room 258, is to promote interest in writing to and in making friends with boys and girls in other lands. For 1938-1939 the following officers were chosen: Barbara Neely, president: Evangel Bloomquist, vice-president: Reva Lehman, sec- retary: Eloise Stilgenbauer, treasurer. -lVIARCE1.1.A ROBERTS CGFUZVG Oh. for the life of a cameraman Look at that equipments!

S the lenses stop, we see the Camera Club founded thirteen years ago by Mr. Cahill, instructor of industrial arts, brought to light. The organization. the pur- pose of which is to study the various phases of photography, is divided into two groups- the Senior Club and the Junior Club. The Senior Club is composed of juniors and seniors. and the officers are Don Williams, president. Dorothy Becher. vice-president: and Ruth Severns, secretary-treasurer. The Junior Club, which is made up of sophomores and freshmen, was piloted this year by Phil Wehinger, presi- dent: David Jenkins, vice-president: and Marilyn Baker, secretary-treasurer. The best film and developer to use for pic- tures, time exposures, correct backgrounds for subject, interesting articles concerning photog- raphy discovered in various magazines, and the correct lighting of films are discussed at the meetings on alternate Wednesdays in Room IO6. ln March a contest was held in which each member could enter two pictures on the subjects of Noise and Peace . These prints had to be developed by the entrant. and two cents was charged for each picture submitted. Gerald Coon received fifty cents for having entered the best photographs. Members of the club were judges. All ardent and aspiring cameramen are urged to join this club, as the experience acquired will be beneficial in the camera world. Mr. Huber, an expert in the art of photog- raphy, has been the enthusiastic supervisor of the club for several years. +BlET'l'Yl? THARP l i 4 Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Mr. Huber.

RCM its earliest inception in l02'5, the Commercial Club of Central High School has always been one of our most progresf sive and outstanding groups. The organiza- tion's director for the past thirteen years has been Mr. C. R. De Long, head of the Commer- cial department. The meetings, which were held in Room 302, the first and third Wednesdays of each month, were most enjoyable from both an educational and social standpoint. The meet' ings consisted of addresses by special speakers. visits to important places of business, round table discussions, contests, skits pertaining to business, and parties. At one of the more inter' esting meetings, which was held on January l4. Miss Bonita Jamison talked on Etiquette in Business , Miss Jamison discussed the four traits of a good business man-tact, courtesy. patience, and memory. In her address she discussed the traits that every employee should possess to be successful. At the November 2 meeting the program committee was elected and the following officers chosen: Philip Meeks. president: Louise La Follett, vice-president: Mary Crissinger, secretary: Betty Frysinger. treasurer: Marjorie I-ludnut, press corre- spondent: Edith Lackey, sergeant-at-arms. On December 14 they visited the Ohio Steel foundry, where they studied the records and equipment of the plant. The purpose of the club, to which thirty members belong, is to bring the students into closer contact with the business world. - 'NAliJlNlE Senna Library Club I wonder il' we-'re going to have a book-guessing contest? . . .I think I'll enact Tom Sawyer . . . wonder if they can guess it . . .

Former club twenty-five members is for members who received their early training under Miss Drusilla Reilly, Central's now attending various colleges librarian, are in preparation for a career in the field of library science. The twenty girls now doing desk service spend three periods weekly in the library. Their duties include checking admittance permits, classifying books, collecting fines from books overdue, charging and discharging books, and shelving books. An average of HZ in all sub- jects is a requirement for membership in this group: courtesy, kindliness, and service at all times are likewise prerequisites. For their efforts the members receive one-fourth credit each year as well as their much-prized letters. An interesting project sponsored by the library staff is the book fair, presented each year to introduce new books to the students and faculty of Central High School. At this year's exhibit on March ZZ, two hundred of the latest and most popular hooks in our library were displayed. Officers this year were Grace Desenberg. president: Jean Hamilton, vice-president: Vir- ginia Zahn, secretaryetreasurer: Jean Hilgen- dorfl junior vice-president: Sylvia Sawyer, sophomore vice-president: and Harriet Sandifer, freshman vice-president. Miss Reilly, advisor of the club, deserves much praise for her genuine interest in the careers of her young co-workers. +A1.1Cis T1-1uRsToN Rowl l'uulin4- Nuneu, Mary S's'hs-llflvr, Kzntlivriln Row Row Row Row 3 Ji 5 An Holuls, Ruby IH-nn. lllllm-n l.:i 2 Syl pros C via Sawyer, .ls-nn Hamilton, .lvzin Hilizvn ilnrf, Harriet Sanmlifi-r.

What? No refreshments tonight?...Well. if I had known that...Stop joking...This isn't the Jello program...President Slaybaugh is jumping around like a puppet on a string...Guess l'd better go home . . . See you later. UST try to gain entrance to the club room of the Blue Triangle some Thursday eve- ning at four o'clock. The Y. W. C. A. is packed as tightly as the Lyric theater on bank night. The girls engage wholeheartedly in tete-a-tetes over teacups but quite willingly come to order when their executives, Mary Wat- son and Elizabeth Hill, suggest their doing so. It is possible that President Wanda Slaybaugli is grateful for their aid because she breathes a sigh of relief. Co-workers include Mary Ellen Bidwell, vice-president: Thelma Von Almen, secretary and Peggy Komminsk, treasurer. In addition to these, there is an organized cabinet composed of Marjorie Ripley, Mabel Harshe, Rosemary Weber, Mary Floyd, Alice Day, Zell Sandifer, Jean Short, Lily Rachlin, and Edna Klett. The club originated in 1921 and since then it has grown by leaps and bounds, making it necessary to create two separate divisions-the Senior and Junior. Blue Triangle girls are serious-minded and thoroughly interested in their work, At Christ-- mas time a social-action project, directed by Miss Verna Sutton, head of the Welfare Bureau was undertaken. In this project the industrious Blue Triangle members supplied clothing for .1 needy girl, 'iSiZe l7 . Other activities of equal interest were a splash party, Arnelle Yokel, the farmers' jamboree, a Christmas program and festival, a rededication service, a mother-daughter tea, the spring formal, the Good Friday breakfast, and joint meetings with the Hi-Y. -ALICE THURSTON Junior Blue Triangle Thank goodness I remembered my dues...Where is the money for my club pin? . . .

Oh! the cookies are gone! . . .Oh well, there's always chewing gum...Is that what you do for dry skin? . . . At last I'm learning something . . . What a won- derful meeting. l HE Blue Triangle a world-wide group was organized for the purpose of developing the mind. body, and spiritual outlook of the girl in her teens. The success of a club depends largely upon the quality of the membership, and the Junior Blue Triangle has a high type. Since the year of its organization, 1918, the enrollment has increased so rapidly that now there are two divisions of this popular club-the Senior Blue Triangle for juniors and seniors, and the Junior Blue Triangle for sophomores and freshmen. The meetings are held the second and fourth Thursday of every month. Three meetings at a Lima beauty academy were among the sea-f son's highlights. Operators at the academy illustrated the kinds of coiffures suitable for different types of faces. The morning after one of these meetings always brought forth a variety of amazing hair styles, and it was the dream and ambition of every Junior Blue Triangle member to be transformed into a glamour girl. Lectures given by people con- nected with the Junior Blue Triangle, a joint meeting with the Junior Hi-Y, Christmas carol- ing, skating parties, and a few dances rounded out the program for the year. The officers of the Junior Blue Triangle are Alta Jayne Clark, president: Evangel Bloom- quist, vice-president: Marcine Percy, secretary: and Martha Nichols, treasurer. To supervise a large, active group of girls is a challenge. but Miss Phyllis Mendenhall and Miss Mary Belle Linnell, who assist Miss Doris Keller, Y. W. C. A. advisor, have shown that they can accomplish this task successfully. -PAu1.iN12 BRANNOCK fi -' Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Nichols, Percy, Stark, Morris, Woodruff, Clark, Miss Mendenhall.

OR the creed of its organization, the Senior Hi-Y Club has selected an inspiring and noble motto. The purpose upheld by the members is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Endeavoring throughout the year to pro- vide both practical knowledge and valuable in- formation, the club has presented a well-rounded program which has met with enthusiastic ap- proval. L. D.

The officers of the Hi-Y were Howard Webb, president: James Strong, vice-president: James Meffley, secretary: William Zumbrun, treasf urer. The enthusiastic advisors of the club were Mr. W. Donald Larrick of Central's industrial arts department and Mr. Walter Monbeck. boys' secretary of the Lima Y. M. C. A. For physical recreation the club sponsored bowling and ping-pong tournaments, basketball, and swimming events. Many other informal activi- ties included community sings, several 'isweater hops , and parties. --BRUCE RoBiNsoN Junior i-ii-Y W'here's Boh?...0h, he-'s at the .lunior Hi-Y meeting . . .

N l9l8 a Hi-Y Club. which was affiliated with the national l-liAY Clubs, was inaug- urated in Central. Since its inauguration it has become a leading group in our school and is one of our most highly respected clubs. lt is the desire of these high school boys to develop the finer points of character which makes this club so outstanding. lt now has two divisions, the senior section for the boys of the senior and junior classes, and the junior section for the boys of the sopho, more and freshman classes. This year the club had thirty-five members, all of whom worked to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. lts members being very en-- ergetic provided many varied activities. Among these activities were dances, discussion meetings. basketball games, swimming meets, the sending of boys to camp, and a joint meeting of the Blue Triangle and the l-li-Y. Every Tuesday night the members of the Junior Hi-Y meet at the Young lVlen's Christian Association tthe HY to youd. The officers for the past year were Bob l-luffer. president: Bill Noble, vice-president: Don Ammon, secretary: Howard Keller, treas- urer. These boys worked very hard and took a real interest in maintaining the high standards for which the Hi-Y is honored. Witli the co-operation of each member and with its fine advisor, Mr. l-utman. the organiza' tion had a very successful year. HE.

F you're planning to be a bachelor and live by yourself without a loving wife, you should hurry and join the Bachelors' Club and at least learn to fry a hamburger or bake beans. lt has always been man's ambition to cook. Last year some of the boys asked why thet couldn't take home economics. Seeing their apparent earnestness, administrators decided to give them a club to see how enthusiastic they really were. i'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, says an old proverb, If the boys who belong to the Bachelors' Club cannot find anyone willing to bother preparing dainties for them, they need not worry, for by joining this group they have become self-sufficient in cul- inary art. This club met in Room 207 under the direc- tion of Miss Mendenhall, every second and fourth Monday in the month. During club meetings the members cooked any dish at which they wished to try their skill. The officers who led the boys to triumph in the arts of the kitchen this year were Walter Hunt, president: John Hodosko, vice-president: Gene Synder, secretary: Charles Smith, treasurer. These boys were very fine officers, but We didn't get to sample any of their cooking. All of the eighteen club members and the advisor, Miss Mendenhall, deserve much credit for making this unique club for amateur chefs a great success. -ali.

ORK in the lndustrial Arts Club is a pleasure, so every Wednesday during club period seventeen junior high boys and two junior high girls meet in Room 151 to work on many varied projects. These include molding, woodworking, metal tapping, wood burning. and the construction of model airplanes. The whir of saws, the buzz of lathes, the punctuating blows of hammers, and the hum of activityw-all combine to give forth the dulcet sounds of their busy workshop. Many students look forward to becoming members of this organization which is one of the junior highs most popular clubs. The masculine element predominates, of course, but occasionally certain members of the fairer sex exhibit their skill in emulation of their more virile companions. This club was first started in 1922 as the Radio Club and has since been called the Boat Club, the Airplane Club, and the Coach Club. ln 1932 it took the name The lndustrial Arts Club of Central High School, and in 1934 it was granted by the Student Council a charter under that name. The officers for the past year were John Vv'oodward, president: Steve Sawyer, vice-presi- dent: Arthur Neth, secretary and treasurer. These boys were very competent and willing leaders. Under the careful supervision of Mr. Miller. the new faculty advisor this year, the club has had a very successful year in its study of indus- trial arts outside of the regular classes. Mr. Miller and all the members certainly deserve our unanimous approval. -E. DoN SNOW Row Row Row Row Row Row Mr. Miller. Gloria Haney. Gs-urge llaka. Jimmy Zapp. Shirley lVlm'i'is.

Social get-to-gethers were held. Literary societies were formed, but were all the topics discussed at the meetings literary? Prominent among Lima High School's organ- izations was the Athletic Association which had just completed the first year of its exist- ence. The Yama-Yama Girls gave several parties. The Big Six, a science club, was organized for the purpose of visiting the factories and shops of the city from a scientific view point. The Girl's Welfare Club was started to aid the unfortunate people of the city. To promote appreciation of music among the girls at Central was the principal reason for starting the Girls' Glee Club. The boys formed a similar organization, the Boys' Glee Club. under the supervision of Mark Evans. The Pierian Literary Society was formed by the juniors. The Senate Club originated as the Wranglers' Debating Club and was later reorganized along parliamentary lines into the Senate. Suspense. comedy, and mystery featured the rising of the curtain for the Troubadourian Dramatic Society. This was the first year of the Hi-Y Club's existence in Central. The baby days of the Troubadourian Dramatic Society crawled by. To create further interest in art was the pur- pose of organizing the Art Club. The Platonian Literary Society was started to in- crease the enthusiasm of the junior class along literary lines. A sophomore literary society called The Emersonian Literary Society was formed. The lecture course appeared for the first time. A motion picture machine was installed in the auditorium and the first films were shown on February 12. The House of Representatives was organized to further debating among the students of Central. Health, knowledge, and spirit were studied in the newly-organized Blue Triangle Club. The Commercial Club was started to interest students in the various occupations of the business world. The Thalian Literary Society had just completed its first year. The members of the Astronomy Club cer- tainly enjoyed going star gazing. The sopho- more literery society chose the name Castalian and had a very successful career. The C Association was organized for the purpose of furthering good sportmanship. The initial Junior Hi-Y meeting was held. To cultivate the appreciation of drama was the aim of the Firefly Dramatic Club. The purpose of the Latin Club was to study the life of the ancient Romans.
