In school and on the athletic field he molded character and instilled fair play in the hearts of the youth of Central, and they loved him for it. He was always first to praise the other fellow. He liked to win. but he never complained or alibied his defeats. He was called by the Steward from above to his re- ward. May we not view his leaving us with perpetual grief, for he hai left a greater more cherished gift than few attain — a true memory. Miss Margaret Si.mon She was a true friend at all times, whose service was marked by un- divided loyalty to her superiors and to her fellow teachers. Words of praise and kindness characterized her attitudes toward others. She looked for opportunities to help and serve students and co- workers alike. Her abiding interest was in the good, the beautiful, and the true. She was a friend whose presence we miss, but whose memory we cherish. dedication We, the staff of nineteen hundred and forty, dedicate this book to the staff of nineteen hundred and forty-one. May they derive as much profit and pleasure from the pubhcation of this, the yearbook, as we have in the ac- comphshments of our efforts. foreword This is Central, deeply rooted in the past, steeped high in tradition, yet impregnated with the spirit of youth ... a world apart yet strangely of the world . . . beloved and cherished by all who have known her ... a clump of life and learning surrounded by distant bluing skies . . . this is Central.

In making friends ive become aivare of other per- sonalities that touch our Hoes at different points and lead us into fuller .self-expression. It has been our privilege and pleasure at Central High School to finoic and to be closely associated with a dear friend. Mrs. Given J. Pence. Since her retirement . school at Central has hardly seemed the same. To the faculty and students it has meant the ab- sence of one who has given honor to the profession for many years. Those who worked with her daily have missed her wise counsel, her broad culture, and her marvelous spirit of co-operation which to her always meant doing more than her share. Mrs. Pence has contributed enough courage, understanding . high purpose, humor, and sympathy to last to the end of the longest day. We feel that Mrs. Pence has been able to lift us into a new realm of living because of her .strength and beauty of character. With this thought in mind, we dedicate this page to her. seven We Thank You, Mr. Reed I do apprccijto and tliank you tor the opportunity to write a few words for your 1940 Mirror. Almost three years have passed since coming to Lima. During that time it has been my good fortune to become acquainted with many of the parents and students in our public school system. In the last three years I have made almost fifteen hundred class room visita tions during which time it has been my special privilege to be associated with many of the boys and girls of our senior class. I have watched with interest and satisfaction the growth and development of individual members. Your desire for knowledge and your grati- tude for the many opportunities and advantages afforde d by your parents are most hopeful and satisfactory signs. I have been impressed with your wholesome attitude toward Government. Religion and Edu cation and your desire to make not only a suc- cessful living but to make a successful life. I sincerely hope that you have learned that a good character, honest endeavor, intellectual freedom, and a spiritual sensitiveness are indis- pensable qualities conducive to the general wel- fare of society as a whole and to the specific de- velopment of your own personality. I am hoping you have made the subject mat- ter of your high school courses a part of your- self; that in a large measure you have lived every worthwhile thing that could be brought within the limitations of your own life experiences. Life in our democracy is a way of living, ol getting along with others in groups, organiza- tions, families and communities. Ma ke the most of every opportunity. My sincere congratula- tions and good wishes to you in the days to come. J. McLean Reed, Superintendent Lima Public Schools, Lima. Ohio. J. McLean Reed, B. A,, B. S,. M. A., superintendent Dr. A. Wiseley. clerk : A, M. Gantz : C ' . H. Pool, president : C. A. Neiswander ; W. C. Derbyshire ; H. G. Mason. eight Here Is a Real Inspiration Permit me to thank you for giving me the opportunity of writing a word for your An- nual. I deem it both a privilege and an honor. To you and the student body whom you represent. I would like to say the following. Central High School is a fine institution. Fine for its accomplishments, its hopes, and its aspirations. The thing to remember, how- ever, is that all of thes2 fine things have been the result of the spirit, hopes, and aspirations of the thousands of young people who have entered its portals, eager to grow in intel- lectual and moral stature and then have gone out to work and serve. Some have achieved in a larger measure than others, it is true. But all have not been endowed with the same measure of capacities and potentialities. It is important to remember that it is not so much the number of talents one possesses but how he uses the ones he has, be they few or many. The young Athenian of old was taught the full meaning of Non Palma Sine Pulvere ( There Is No Palm Without the Dust ). Happy is the student who can say upon lea ' - ing Central High School that it is a finer place because he attended there: if he can say this, then Central High School will award him the Palm of Victory. His Alma Mater will rest secure in the knowledge that such a student will ever strive to bring both himself and society to higher and nobler ends. H. V. Leach. Prmcipal Central High School. Lima.

Wondering about all these fascinating things. I stopped a gentleman who proved to be Superintendent J. McLean Reed, fishing and hunting enthusiast. He offered to be my guide and show me the points of interest as we walked along. His conversation ran as follows: Our first interest point is the tennis court. There ' s H. W. Leach, prin cipal. playing a game. Wonder if H. W. Scheucrman, assistant principal and dean of boys, is at the golf course? E. L. Huber. an ardent photography and gardening fan. was certainly kept busy in school as head of the science depart- ment, advisor of the Camera club, and of the Student council. Stanley Boylan, social science head, is still coaching debate and really enjoys it. Miss Laura Jamison seems to have forgotten her Weekly Mirror and English head duties because she is devoting most of her time to linen-collecting. Remember H. C. Heffner. head of the mathematics department, faculty manager of publications, and various other activities? He is spending his time on his fine stock farm. Oh. yes. Miss Hazel Messimorc. head of the foreign language department and the French club advisor, has taken up horseback riding. Quite a fascinating hobby. I hear. Have you ever seen C. R. DeLong ' s speedboats? When he ' s out on the water, he forgets his duties as commercial head, commercial club sponsor, school treasurer, and student activities tickets distribution manager. Sponsor of C association, industrial arts head, faculty manager of athletics — all these are for- gotten when E. A. Hauenstein starts officiating football and basketball games. Need an architect? Miss Phyllis Mendenhall. home economics head. Junior Blue Triangle advisor, and Bachelors ' club advisor, loves to plan houses. Faculty Street ' s library is owned and operated by Miss Drusilla Reilly. librarian and Library club sponsor. Mark Evans, head of the music department, directs all music groups in the city. Anything concerning art really interests Miss Edith Simpson, art department head and Junior Art club advisor. Harold C. Dillon, director of physical education and recreation, takes a mailman ' s holiday by participating in sports. Before I forget that golf course, you must go out and see Rex Settlemire. coach of basketball and baseball, and Morgan Jones, coach of football, golf and swimming, and science teacher, play a game. Are they good! The street seems rather dull since so many took that travel tour last week. Miss Adelaide Sawyer, G. A. A. sponsor, girls ' intramural director and physical education teacher: Miss Mary Swingle, home economics instructor and Girl Re- serves advisor: Miss Gussie Bream, social science teacher: Mrs. Jennie Breese. sophomore supervisor and social science instructor: Miss Elizabeth Hill. Mas- querader ' s club advisor. English and foreign language teacher: and Miss Evelyn M. Lackey, home economics teacher and Fancy Works club advisor, left on this planned trip. Hear that static? That must be Stanton Stciner, faculty manager of the stage. Stage club advisor, and history teacher, and Albert Smith, mathematics instructor and advisor of the Stage club, with their shortwave radio. Before I forget, we have a marvelous new hunting and fishing lodge out near the edge of the town. It is owned by Walter Binkley, commercial teacher. twelve boys ' and girls ' bowling teams advisor, and commercial club sponsor: Lewis Miller, industrial arts instructor, sponsor of Industrial Arts club, and junior high intramurals supervisor: Robert Christy, photography advisor of annual Mirror and social science teacher: Herbert Lee. science and social science teacher, and Debate club advisor: and Floyd Overholser. reserve basketball coach and history teacher. Oh. here ' s Miss Lillian Lippincott ' s Art gallery where weekly plays di- rected by Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus. English teacher. Troubadorian and sponsor, director of junior and senior class plays, are given. Miss Lippincott. an Eng- lish teacher and sponsor of the Thespian club, also keeps on display the scrap- books on world events collected by Miss Clara Helle. mathematics teacher: Miss Frances Overman. English teacher and Spelling club sponsor: and E. C. Ulrick, social science and mathematics teacher. Pitcher collecting must have gotten too much for ' Wilma Rickenbacher, commercial teacher and associate sponsor of Commercial club, for she has started a small pottery shop. Perhaps she will have two more partners. Miss Gladys Riggs. English teacher, and Miss Inez Agerter. foreign language teacher. Their collections of oriental antiques and just antiques, respectively, are overcrowding their homes. Did you know that we have a city flower garden which is really the pride and joy of the community. ' ' Almost every flower enthusiast has a small plot of ground in it. Some of the most beautiful plots were planted by Miss Grace McClurg. history teacher and senior supervisor: Miss Ethel Stiles, commercial teacher and advisor of the Commercial club, noted for her beautiful collection of quilts: Miss Jeanette Stuart, English teacher, literary advisor of Annual Mir- ror, and photography fan: Miss Mary Watson, mathematics teacher and senior Blue Triangle supervisor: and Miss Edna McPhcron, mathematics teacher and eighth grade supervisor. Miss Ruth Chiles, social science teacher, and Miss Ruth Kephart, English and social science teacher, and ninth grade supervisor must be on their way to the library to indulge in their favorite pastime, reading. Have you . . . oh, no you wouldn ' t have heard of Charles O. Guy ' s latest venture besides radio announcing? Being interested in the life of tropical fish, Mr. Guy, science teacher, band business manager, and radio program director, now has an acquarium. Two home enthusiasts arc Miss Mary Belle Linnell. science teacher and sophomore Blue Triangle advisor, and Miss Gertrude Marshall, foreign language and English teacher and Foreign Correspondence club advisor. Miss Linnell loves to give parties in her apartment, and Miss Marshall is building a new home. Did you ask me who that was over there on that hammock. ' ' Why, that is H. Wade Kraner. social science teacher and tennis coach, who cannot be kept from his snoozin ' in the sun no matter what. Do you enjoy puzzles? George Lutman. commercial teacher and advisor of the junior Hi-Y. is a tinkerer and puzzler. Two of our music enthusiasts. Miss Gaylc Howey, social science and thirtfen tLMchcr .iiui diMu ol girls, and Miss Violet Lewis, music teacher, arc on concert tour this summer. Getting to be quite the rave, so I hear. Ronald Dotson. physical education and science teacher, varsity track, re- serve football, and cross-country coach, and sponsor of Dragon ' s athletic club and Walter Marshall, science teacher, junior high basketball and assistant foot- ball coach, are our two badminton champions. The newest rage in town is William Taylor ' s game room. Mr. Taylor, commercial teacher and sponsor of the Senate club, has combined ping pong, bowling. Chinese checkers, and a place to ride horses. Clever, yes? I see that M. B. Stoner, science teacher, is still interested in working with tools and materials. 1 have been looking for Donald Larrick. industrial arts teacher and advisor of the senior Hi-Y. but I imagine he is out camping in the woods somewhere. Have you seen the new swimming pool. ' ' Miss Lyda Buchanan, social science and English teacher, and freshman Blue Triangle Advisor, practically lives there. It ' s been rumored that instead of tut. tut . Mrs. Gladys Romaker. English and social science teacher and seventh grade supervisor, says tat. tat . To while away her leisure time, she keeps tatting. Our faculty enjoy pursuing their hobbies during vacation and attending various universities where they enrich their knowledge so that they may give the boys and girls the very best in modern education. Other members of our faculty are Miss Golda Adams, mathematics: Harold O. Clark, music teacher and band director: Miss Martha DeGrief. Eng- lish: Miss Bonita Jamison, visiting teacher: Miss Myvanwy Jones, foreign language and social science teacher, and junior supervisor: Miss Nora Keville, English and Book club advisor: Miss Mary Kirk, Fine Arts and sponsor of the Art club: Miss Idetta Lutz, English and rnathematics teacher and sponsor of the seventh grade Thespian club: Miss Mary Neumeister, physical education and general science: Miss Mary C. Nolan, mathematics and member of the social dance committee: Emerson Seitz, social science teacher and freshman football and basketball coach: Miss Georgia Swickard. social science: and Miss Mary Whitling. mathematics teacher and advisor of the seventh grade Blue Triangle. Well, here ' s where I turn off . With a farewell smile. Mr. Reed turned into his favorite haunt, a motion picture theatre, leaving me to wander about by myself.

When we think of the services rendered to the school, little do ■we realize what work they efficiently and quietly do. Mrs. Harry Bennett was elected the first president, and she was capably assisted by Mrs. Gwen Pence, first vice president: Reverend S. M. Davidian. second vice president: Mrs. Earl Bowman, recording: Miss Ruth Chiles, cor- responding secretary: and Carl H. Jones, treasurer. Why do parents and teachers meet in Central high school. These meet- ings arc being planned to promote in the citizen of tomorrow and welfare of our young people through closer relation and mutual cooperation between par- ents and teachers. Through the efforts of the Parent-Teachers association, a new curtain was purchased and a hospital room was furnished. By means of a radio review and Vodville Style show sufficient funds were raised. Another activity un- der the supervision of the association is the annual art exhibit and Pie festival in May. This year the association sponsored Cameron Beck, former personnel direc- tor on the New York Stock exchange. He addressed the students and parents of Central on Leadership and said. What you are to be you are now be- coming . For 1940 the following officers were elected: Judge Raymond Smith, president: Mrs. Frank McClain, first vice president: Mrs. Walter Noble, second ice president: Mrs. Edward Myers, recording secretary: Miss Idetta Lutz, cor- responding secretary: Mr. Stanton Steiner. treasurer. The desire of the Parent-Teachers ' association is to solve the problems that relate to the welfare of the child in home, school, and community.

The Lima Council of Parents and Teachers, a conference bociy composed of the local congress units within the city, was organized by the state branch with the sanction of the National congress, on January 1 1, 1928. This organ- ization is really a clearing house for the other units and increases their capacity for service through united strength. Mothers ' study groups, schools of instruction, and Mother-singers were all formed as extra activities throughout the years. Other activities under the auspices of the council are the Motion Picture council, Clare Tree Major plays, Morris memorial, and bundle day. Mrs. Raymond P. Smith, president of the council, was ably assisted this year by the following officers: Mrs. Alfred Simmons, first vice president: Mrs. Fred Stover, second vice president: Mrs. Everett Aller. secretary: and Mrs. John P. McJilton. treasurer. J. McLean Reed, superintendent of schools, is the hon- orary president. This year they have selected as their theme Finding the Goal Posts. The parent-teacher organization has a three-fold purpose: to know the child through child study and parent education: to cooperate with the schools and other educational agencies in his training through shared participation with teachers and educators: and to control and build his environment through the development of public opinion and civic activity. To these people who are forever working toward a higher standard for us, the students, we dedicate this page. June Schulte ' 40 s .v efn seventeen They Claimed The Laurels Dear Seniors, Do you remember one unforgettable day in September, four years ago, when this class first entered the portals of Central high school? We stood wide-eyed and open-mouthed, awed by the dignity of the seniors, the boldness of the juniors, and the feigned nonchalance of the sophomores. In ignorance we followed the upper classmen up the front steps, but woe unto us. this was the moment the sophomores were waiting for. Quickly and very rudely wc were escorted to the side door. We chose as our leaders for the freshman year Eugene Snyder, president: Dorothy Ben- nett, vice president: Marjorie Ripley, secretary: Mary Ellen Bid well, treasurer. Representatives to the Student council were Gerald Clark and Harrison Hughes. Colors for the year were scarlet and white. We appreciated the kind- ness rendered by Miss Ruth Reed, class super- visor. After a somewhat hectic but successful year as freshman, we entered early in September as sophomores. Quickly dispensing with the formalties, we selected our class officers. Bob Brentlinger. president: Donna Gene Miller, vice president; Mary Ellen Bidwell. secretary; and Harrison Hughes, treasurer. Four members, Roy Blodgett, Charles Stilgenbauer, Marjorie Ripley and Bob Richards, were chosen as representatives of the sophomores to the Student council. To a most capable supervisor. Miss Gayle Howey, we express our thanks and gratitude for her ever helpful advice and kindness. With two years of achievement behind us, we returned to dear old Central as upperdassmen and once more chose Bob Brentlinger, president: Shirley Mere- ness, vice president: Mary Ellen Bidwell, secretary: and Harrison Hughes, treas- urer. As our Student council representatives we elected Gerald Clark, Bob Richards. Thelma Von Almen, Charles Stilgenbauer. Roy Blodgett, and Mar- jorie Ripley, who helped to plan our school activities. Considerable talent was displayed in our junior play, Apron String Re- volt. Members of the cast were Zell Sandifer. Nadine Corson, Ann Blattenberg. Marjorie Ripley. Howard Bayles, Shirl ey Mereness, Jerry McWilliams, Jerry Clark. Marjorie Botkin, Paul Downs, Quentin Maxfield, Joe Sells, Betty Dav- ies, and Orrie Barr: Dorothy Becher acted as publicity manager: Mary Mu- SENIOll CLASS OFFICERS Row 1 — Dick Cheney. Jerry Clark, Miss Ethel Stiles. Row 2 — Mr. Stanton Steiner, Miss Grace McClurg. Row 3 — Harrison Hughes, Mary Ellen Bidwell. cuihtiTn maugh, as property manager: and Betty Creps, as business manager. With the guidance of Miss Mary Jones, supervisor, we finished our junior year ready for the responsibilities of the coming year. We entered the senior year with vim. In the first meeting of the year wc followed the precedent we had established and elected Richard Cheney, president. who was equally at home in a C meeting or on the football field, and had an amiable personality, and a straight-forward manner that contributed to his powers as a leader: Gerald Clark , vice president, who put a hole through the line on the football field and was an inspiring actor in The Howling Dog and The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come : Mary Ellen Bidwell. secretary, whose sense of humor and friendly nature crept into the minutes of the Blue Triangle meetings: and Harrison Hughes, treasurer, who flashed a big smile and displayed a fine set of ivory teeth and had a likeable manner and a strong will. Naturally it takes more than officers to rule a class: it also takes students. Out of the several hundred in the senior home room, a group of students were elected to serve on the Student council. Say, kiddo. pipe da guy. Wasn ' t he the one. though i For gosh sakes look what we have been missing. That was Bob Richards, student council president, a talented orator of the debate team, and chairman of the senior memorial committee. Dignified and courteous best describes Marcella Roberts. Besides being asso ciate editor of the Annual, she was chairman of the senior announcement com- mittee, secretary of the G. A. A., council secretary of the Blue Triangle, a Stu- dent council member, and rated high scholastically. Ever smiling, that expression might have been created to describe Zell Sandifer. She was a superb cheerleader, an active Student council member, and a clever Annual writer. With plenty of versatility and wit you have none other than red-haired Tom Evans. He was interested in football and baseball and held the position of vice president in the Hi-Y and on the Student council. Wit, good looks, and horse sense attracted many admirers to this friendly, blond senior, Thclma Von Almen. With all her activities as G. A. A. president, Student council representative, and study hall monitor, she found time to be an honor student. Tall, shy, and friendly were words to describe George Vucovich. He com- bined football, baseball, and Student council with studies and was outstanding in all. You could usually find him working on the graduation attire committee. Another outstanding senior was tall and attractive Nadine Corson. She was active on the Student council, wrote for the Annual, was chairman of the senior party committee, and displayed acting ability in The Howling Dog. For plenty of smile and chat see this girl. Although by nature quiet, he liked basketball and baseball. We were speaking of Tom Stump. Sometimes he surprised us by an outburst of talkative- ness in a Student council meeting, but as secretary of the Hi-Y he was very serene. No use to mention her name. Everyone knew about her being editor-in- chief of the Annual Mirror and everyone knew she was a whiz on the dance floor. Why even her pen wielding in the radio script contest was old news. You guessed it — June Schulte. Head of the G.A.A. basketball board. Annual staff typist, member of the Blue Triangle, and a possessor of big brown eyes and brunette hair introduced another senior girl. Helen Mallett. When it came to bowling she beat them all. Picture a quiet, friendly senior with brown curly hair and blue eyes. She nineteen was head of the G.A.A. volleyball board and an enthusiastic bowler. Plus all of this Virginia Kennedy was an Annual typist and treasurer of the Blue Triangle. The Ail-American type was what you call Bob Sims. He was interested in .such diversions as French club, football swimming, and sleeping. Petite, dark -haired, and dramatic introduced Shirley Mereness. Besides be- ing on the Annual .staff, Central ' s neatest girl, she played a character role in The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come and The Howling Dog . Bob Brentlinger garners the versatility trophy for a hangup performance in athletics, scholastics, and popularity; he claimed the presidency of both the Hi-Y and the C Association. No use to mention her name. Everyone knew she was feature editor of the Weekly, had a role in The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come , and just doted on sundaes. For a pleasant, smiling personality we recommended Mable Harshe. Blond, and blue eyed described Marjorie Ripley. She was president of the Blue Triangle, girls ' sports editor of the Annual staff, vice president of the G.A.A. , and a member of the senior announcement committee. She was very friendly and especially interested in athletics. Paul Kilgore was one of the those men who simply ignored the fairer sex. Always friendly and smiling, he found time for football and Hi-Y meetings. Tall, slender, and fair described Dorothy Becher, co editor-in-chief of the Weekly. She was interested in dramatics, as she had a part in the senior class play. She was a member of the debate team. Curly-haired Kenneth Roethlisberger was one of this year ' s most popular basketball players. Besides being interested in tennis, Kenny was the treasurer of the Hi-Y. She who wielded the plume as co editor-in-chief of the Weekly was Vir- ginia Lewis. In the radio script contest she placed first and in the senior class play, The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come , she established herself as an actress. Jinny also rated high scholastically. Milan Stanich, handsome, shy, and dark-haired, was a football, baseball, and a basketball player. In the Who ' s Who he was voted as Central ' s most bashful boy. Did we go for brown hair and a sparkling personality, especially if the person was shy. A member of the French club, ardent supporter of the Blue Triangle, and Central ' s shyest girl seemed to be the personage of Anne Haneke. Hockey, ice-skating, and photography seemed to click with John Honert. You didn ' t mention dancing to him or you scared him away. He served on the Christmas tree committee and was outstanding in athletics. Because of a pleasing personality many were attracted to this tall, friendly senior, Barbara Neely. She was interested in music and held the presidency of the Girls ' Glee. Speaking of music reminded me of those two faithful musketeers, Jane Marshall and Betty Davies. Central would seem lost without their singing. Scholastically Evelyn Castoe and Robert Heffner were the tops. Bob placed first in the I. Q. and senior scholarship tests and Evelyn didn ' t lag far behind. Tweet! Tweet! Yes, indeed, it was tall and friendly Irvin Gaskey on the job. Irv was a faithful and outstanding supporter of the Street patrol. Where was your brush. ' ' I certainly enjoyed art. These words were quite familiar. Blond Ann Blattenberg, and dark-haired Frances Ridenour were mighty wielders of the brush and pencil in art. Blond and shy described Charles Covey. For the past four years Chuck twenty had established himself as a member of the Stage club and had capably assisted in the stage management of many plays. Writing poetry seemed to click with him also. Dark-haired and peppy introduced Beulah Copeland. Spare moments were precious to her. for she held the position of photography editor of the Annual. Further seniors were Jean Hilgendorf, who displayed her ability as an actor in The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come and as a member of the de- bate squad; capable Earl Moreo, who was talented in journalism and served as an orator on the debate team; just two Pages in the family album, Fairy and Virginia, who were considered great G.A.A.-ers and were tops in basketball; and Lily Rachlin who was loyal to both the G. A. A. and the Blue Triangle. You noticed Clinton Alguire ' s swiftness in football, Jim Johnson ' s surc- ness in the line. Bob Teitelbaum ' s, Ed Meeks ' s and Charles Short ' s popularity in the gridiron game. Bob Boop ' s baseball. Gene Beeler ' s diamond technique, and Bob Ousley ' s runs. Did you know Harry Schipper liked track and sleeping; John Baxter participated in both sports and the band; Elton Hamilton was the flash of the cross country team; Clayton Amspaugh. baton twirler, was the lone sur- vivor of the swimming team; Betty Lassiter capably filled the assistant drum major ' s position; Joe Sells and Rav ' s superb singing voices; Orric Barr ' s ability as chairman of the graduation attire committtee; and that red haired Harold Laman, the only senior boy cheerleader. Finally, dear seniors, we must not say farewell to Central until we bid adieu to our faithful senior advisors. One of the home room noise quicters was quiet ancf friendly Miss Ethel Stiles, who has signed our endless blue, white, and yellow slips. Of course home room was not complete without jovial Stanton Steiner. You just had to mention radio short wave and he would enthusiastically explain its mysteries to you. Miss Grace McClurg, class supervisor, lent a willing hand in the further- ing senior activities. W e owe her our sincere gratitude for the time and patience she gave to us. To the seniors of the class of January 2 . 1Q40, we bid farewell. Some- day we shall meet again, and then what pleasant memories we shall share after twelve long and happy school years together. ' We shall never forget Betty Baney ' s stenographic ability. Miriam Beade ' s friendliness, Dorothy Bennett ' s faithfulness to the Blue Triangle, Bud Fisher ' s handsomeness, Ruth Holmes ' politeness. John Honert ' s blushing. Reed Blackburn ' s likable personality, Martha Jones ' dark eyes. Harold Laman ' s restlessness, Reva Lehman ' s dainti- ness, Virginia and Fairy Page ' s athletic ability. Gene Snyder ' s peppiness, Robert Stoncr ' s debating. Don Taflinger ' s wit. Ruth Taflinger ' s dress designing. Boh Teitelbaum ' s football playing, Berneta ' White ' s executive manner, Marie Wil- liams ' tininess. and Elfrieda Wolf ' s pretty red hair. As graduation days drew near, this era of our high school days came to a close. There were regrets at parting, but these regrets were either for indi- vidual failure to take advantage of numerous opportunities afforded every stu- dent or a passing reluctance at leaving the familiar halls. Members of the class of 40 will go forth in search of glory, honor, and positions. These four years in Central have been spent gloriously; let ' s not for- get them. Our past mistakes were our experiences for the future. A student of 40 Marcella Roberts tiventq-one H w 1 — Evelyn Adams. John Alhertson. Clinton Aluuire. Bette Ambose. Clayton, Anspaugh.

(Remember our old fears and superstitions about it. ' ) From the frighten- ed seventh-grader to the haughty senior, we are given every consideration and courtesy. These were our thoughts upon entering the office: Who is that pretty dark- haired young lady greeting those students with such a nice smile. ' Arwilda Rutledge. did you say. ' Why, she ' s Mr. Leach ' s secre- tary, isn ' t she? No wonder everyone likes her! Well, whcre ' s Freda Cornwell? You say she was transferred to South as secretary. Congratulations! What am I congratulat- mg you for I ' m not. I ' m just hoping Row 1 — Marie Williams. Eva Winchester. Row 2 — Elfrieda Wulf. Margaret Wood. Row 3 — Richard WriKht, Robert Youns. Row 4 — Thomas Huphes. Freda reads this. Everyone misses her cheery voice over the telephone. That is no dis- credit to our new addition, Bettye Gantz, who took Mrs. Cornwell ' s place. Her per- sonality radiates charm wherever she is. (Oh, those big words! Webster, you ' re such a help.) Now for a look into the superintendent ' s office. Mrs. Eversole, secretary to the superintendent, is in charge of the dis- tribution of all the free textbooks in the city. Paul Rockey took the place of Robert Christy, who accepted a teaching position at Central. His infectious smile, combined with a red-headed personality, wins the confidence of all who visit the office. It is only fitting and proper that Ann Blattcnberg ' s picture close the sen- ior group, for it was through her diligent efforts that the mountings and ar- rangements of the pictures in this annual were completed.

Who ' s that rute new blonde? . . . He-e-.v! Let go my ear. 1 didn ' t know she was your girl . . .Jumpin bullfrogs! think of it-varation! . , , Now I c n sleep all morning . . , Say!! we ' re senior.s now . , , ;ee Whiz!!! The junior year, our last obstacle to hurdle before we become dignified seniors ( . ' ) , has been no bed of roses: but we have all enjoyed it immensely. Those we elected as our officers were Walter Rcnz. president: Dick Hill, vice president: Rosemary Hardy, secretary: Bill Noble, treasurer. Our representatives to the governing body of Central, the Student council, were Betty Myers. Don Ammon. Paul Newland. Robert Heil. Alia Jayne Clark and Howard Keller. We can thank them and the rest of the council for the many fine dances, fire trills, new method of electing officers, the hand book, and the numerous other things which they have accomplished during the year Resolved: That the federal government should own and operate the railroads. ' This familiar phrase has echoed through the halls of Central many times this year. For a well presented argument, combined with oratorical ability, just mention this question to any one of the following junior debaters: Bob Huffer. Dale Poling. Elaine Wening. Marilyn Claassen. Bill Parmenter. Jean Esther Morris, and Fredrick Rakestraw. Holding with tradition, our junior thespians presented, Thru the Keyhole. This was a sparkling modern comedy of three acts which we all enjoyed to the utmost, thanks to the splendid performancs of Paula Bersee, Paul Newland. Jean Esther Morris. Gloria Stark, Bill Parmenter. Enma Rchn. Forrest Miller. Philip Holstinc. Virginia Wcadock. Rosemary Hardy. Fdith Johnson, and Betty Myers. Well, maybe South did win the Thanksgiving game, but our juniors have had two years under the new coaching system so witch their smoke next vear. They ' ll mow ' em down. If you don ' t think so. look at these juniors who have already received their varsity football awards: Jack Blose. Bob Boyd. Paul Tarbutton. Ernest Riegle, and Darrcl Schlosscr: Bob Baker and W arren Hodosko managers. Swish. you ve guessed it — another basket. If it ' s a basket, it must be basketball: and if it ' s basketball, it ' s juniors. Out of the ten varsity members, three juniors. Lester De ' Vine. Dick Hill, and Paul Tarbutton, have proven themselves to be a vital part of Coach Settlemirc ' s basketball machine. On the reserve squad arc Darrel Schlosser and John Eisley, The three juniors who turned in such a fine job of cheerlcading at our games were Rosemarv Hardv, Gloria Stark, and Wilbur I.aibe, Many juniors belonged to the Hi-Y. Blue Triangle, and the other clubs and activities offered at Central, Each year Central manages to have finer weekly and annual Mirrors, This year is no exception, and we are proud of those who contributed to their success. For the Weekly Mirror they arc James Ackcrman, Bob Baker, Paula Bersee, Alta Jayne Clark. Edith Johnson. Jean Esther Morris, Betty Myers, Bob Parmenter, Charlotte DcGarmo, Bryant Bower and Shirley Haines, For the Annual were Marilyn Claassen, Arnold Grecnberg, Paul Newland, Rosemary Hardy. Elaine Wening. Wavelene Becler. Jean Van Horn. Evelyn Herman. Jo Ann Bogart, Doris Cole. Ann Weis. Audrey Carnes. Bob Hcil. Rowcna Stcffe. Don Butts. John Neely, Virginia Weadock. Sylvia Sawyer. Jane Conaway, Bob Hill. Phil Wehinger. Martha Nichols, and Betty Floyd. Much could be said about our supervisor. Miss Jones, but we all know of the excellent work she has done in guiding the junior class through this school year. Our sincercst thanks. Miss Jones, for helping to make this year one of the most successful and the happiest of our school life.

Isn ' t 11 thrillinsr in senior assembly? . . . (iosh! End of the first semester already . . . Are you Koing to the Leap Year dance? . . . Zowiel The .school year ' s almost over. On a bright September morning several hundred assorted sophomores sauntered gaily to- wards Ye Old Alma Mater. No longer was it necessary for them to take on that humble attitude becoming to freshmen. On entering the stately portals they learned that Mrs. Breese, their capa- ble advisor, was to pilot them through another hectic year. As an aid in starting the year right, the class wisely selected the following officers: Don Harrod. president: Ruth Alice Miller, vice president: Patricia Cochran, secretary: and Jim Walte- math. treasurer. Sophomores chosen for the Student council were Joanne Jones. Sue Faudrcc. John Timmerman. and John Altstactter. A number of worthy sophomores seem to have journalistic ambitions. Those on the Weekly Mirror staff were Jeanne McDoncl. June Webb. Lurline Fredericks. Phyllis Garrett, Harry Fock- Icr. Gerald Coon. Ruth Alice Miller. Doyle Phipps. and Bill Reid. Those on the Annual staff were Marcine Percy. Laura Mae Gnagi. Don Richie, and Don Snow. No doubt the sophomores have some future Bctte Davises and Spencer Tracys in their midst. At any rate, the cast of June Mad . the Masqueraders ' annual play, was well filled with sopho- mores. Those with budding stage careers are Joanne Jones. Jessie Corson. Barbara Bowman. June Webb. Jewel Stalter. Doyle Smith. Don Richie. Dean Wiseley. Jack Newland. and Harry Fockler. Don ' t get the idea that this class has been so busv with extra-curricular activities that they have had no time for study. The following sophomores appeared on the honor roll one or more times: Claire Angcll. Harry Fockler. Janet Miller. Patricia Cochran. Betty Hardesty. Bill Reid. Jean Elliott. Bill Geiser. Laura Mac Gnagi. Doris Levy. Phyllis Tuttle. Betty Reese. Helen Ston- er. Marcella Ward. Jeanne McDonel. Don Snow. Ruth Alice Miller, and Ernestine Worrell. Both in football and basketball the soph lads really starred. At the conclusion of the football season sophomores on the reserve team who received minor letters were Jim Waltemath. Bob Kcmmcr. Wayne Wells. Paul Richards. Richard Grainger. Don Harrod. Henry Timmerman. Tom Leech. Don Welker. and Wallace Smith. As for basketball. Wayne Wells and Jim Walte math made names for themselves in that field. You uppcrclassmen. watch out! Here are the Brentlingcrs of tomorrow. The many members of the sophomore cla.ss to be seen in the sombre black robes and red stoles of the A Cappella choir were Laura Jane Ash. Phyllis Garrett. Don Harrod. Joanne Hinklo, Tom Leech. Helen Miller. Dale Meffley. Jack Newland. Bill Reid. Martha Jane Roberts, Claudinc Renz. Lucille Steen. Jewel Stalter. Nadine Speer. Doyle Smith. Henry Timmerman. John Tim- merman. Abby Gene Thomas. Frances Ousley, Laura Gnagi. and Don Richie. You may be sure these sophomores were a big help to the choir in gaining its reputation. Two sophomores. Zoctsa fillips and Joy Shaffner. were in the junior choir. Every club had a generous sprinkling of the class of 42 . In spite of the bumps and bruises, the year was very successful and with the guidance of splendid teachers turned out well for all concerned. What would they have done, however, with- out Mrs. Breese. their supervisor? Indeed it seems the sophomore year is the ideal year of high school because the sophomores need not be too humble nor too dignified but just themselves. And so with anticipation this class looks forward to the coming year. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I lose my seat in 307 every time 1 enter its stately portals . . . . t last the tests are over and I am about to become a sopho- more; I hope ... At least I shall soon know . . . Next term! After sleeping late all summer long we heard a disturbing noise which proved lo be an alarm clock buzzing away telling us school was ready to begin. Off to school we tramped, won- dering how it would feel to be a freshman. For one glorious year we had been the self-appoint ed rulers on the junior high side, and now we had to drop to the low level of a freshman. It didn ' t prove so bad. and after a period of thoughtful consideration we elected as our class officers Bob Bowman, president: Morris Ramers. vice president; Dick Zimmerman, secretary; and Kenneth Harrod. treasurer. The Student council representatives were Joan Thompson and Michael Oavidi.in. Having finished all of our necessary duties to Ye Ol ' Central, we investigated the senior high activities, especially clubs. Membership records of these organizations displayed a generous num- ber of freshmen. Cheering contests were held .it Central this fill ,ind the cheerleaders chosen from the fresh- m.in class were Joan Thompson. Bill Fisher, .ind Howard Miller. The popularity poll voted Jane Cuthbert as Central ' s most humble freshman. This year the class had some members who will have a future in Central ' s sports. In foot- ball we had Nick Vucovich. Kenneth Harrod. Bob Bowman. John Reed. Israel Rachlin. Dick Bishop, and Bob Cast; in b.iskctball there were Joe Dillon. Nick Vucovich. and John Reed. Tennis teams were formed. The bowling under Walter Binkley enlisted Audrev Bernstein. Anita Grcenbcrg, and Joan Blum. The G. A. A. hit a new high in its freshmen membership and teams. Interclass teams were as follows: voUevball — Audrey Bernstein. Delores Bryan. Eileen Faze. Betty Folk. Doris Ketcham. Pauline Kruse. Nancy Leech Nelda Mills. Marilyn Ncwcomb. Patty Roberts. Mary ' Walker. Thelma Wellbaum. and Gloria Haney. Barbara Seiser and Laura Mac Sims as substitutes: basketball — Marilyn Newcomb, Laura Mae Sims. Nancy Leech. Delores Bryan. Mary Walker. Patty Roberts. Alice Billings. Eileen Faze. Anita Greenberg. Gloria Haney. Audrey Bernstein and Evelyn Schurr. Marilyn Newcomb should be congratulated for her bad- minton championship, a goal which few freshmen attain. Central doesn ' t claim to have any child prodigies but credit should go to Natalie Gregg. Dick Zimmerman and Rudy Rakowsky for their part in the Masquerader ' s play June Mad . With glee the freshmen took part in the school dances which they were permitted to attend for the first time. They proved to be able to perform the tricky steps of the modern day jitter- bugs as well as the upper classmen. The honor roll showed the freshmen were studious. Keep it up. future graduates of Central. On the Weekly Mirror staff were Joan Blum. Ann Alexander. Dena Fillips, and Marilyn Newcomb. On the Annual Mirror staff were Muriel Teitlebaum. Audrey Canterbury. Bill Fisher. Jean Wolf. Nancy Leech, and Gordon Misch. The freshmen wish to express their most sincere thanks to Miss Ruth Kephart for her splen- did work as class supervisor. This is her first year as the freshmen advisor, and we hope she will continue for a long time to help other freshmen as .she did us. — AuDRi-Y Canterbury.

We ' ve got five to six years of this work so we miffht as well get used to it. Il was the first day of school, and many hewildt-rcd students were starting on a new ex- perience. Here and there could be heard snatches of conversation from the steady rumble of voices of new pupils filled with the wonderment of what the year would bring . . . What does it say on this door? ' Seventh graders are to go to the auditorium. Eighth graders go to their old home rooms. ' Did you get your schedule card yet? . . . Did you have as hard a time finding class rooms when you were a seventh grader? . . . Being an eighth grader you are probably used to changing classes, but I still get mixed . . . This idea of a different teacher for every class is fun. Gradually things came down to normal. Thoughts turned lo elections, clubs, and various activities. The seventh grade chose Larry King, president; Mary Jo Reed, vice president; Betty Jean Sarber. secretary; and Jean Nice, treasurer. The eighth grade chose Bob Hartcr, president; Marjorie McJilton, vice president; Lou Ann Hennon. secretary; and Bill Keeling, treasurer; while Walter Romaker represented the seventh grade and Joyce Cotner. the eighth grade on the Student council. The seventh and eighth grade played for and against each other in volleyball and basketball. The volleyball teams were divided into two leagues, the American and the National league. The captains of the seventh grade American league teams were Curtis Gehring. Carl Johnson. Bob May. Don Sebasckes. Junior Orchard. Bob Stewart. Gayle Evers. Sim Moore. Delbert Burden, and Ronald Connor. The captains of the eighth grade National league teams were Earl Dillebay. Tom Shroeder. Fred Bremer. Junior Baughman, Bill Ogle. Eugene Woods. Ray McMichael.

Jim Nagelson. Dave Cox. Ray Kingman. Carl Richards, and Leo Heffner. We had a junior high Blue Triangle and junior high Hi-Y this year which taught coopera- tion in work and play. The eighth grade Blue Triangle chose Carol Creps. president; Ruth Belston. vice-president; Judith Bice, secretary and treasurer. The seventh grade Blue Triangle chose Ruth Cooke, president; Sally Ann Greiwe. vice-president; Betty Ruff, treasurer; and Shir- lev Bowers, secretary. Miss Mary Jane Whitling supervised the seventh grade club, while Miss Mary Swingle was faculty advisor for the eighth grade club. The junior high Hi-Y under the supervision of E. C. Ulrick chose Tom Roberts, presi- dent: Tom Fritz and Junior Orchard, vice presidents; Jack Lytle. secretary; and Bill Welker, treasurer. The eight grade led the honor roll lists this year more often than any other class. Some of the pupils who helped the eighth grade keep in the lead the first semester, were Carol Bennett, Grace Creviston. Don Everett, Gale Friend, Milton Neely, Joseph Cope. Jeannettc Elliott.

Hamilton came as our guests, bringing with them Paul Sarringhaus. voted the best high .school football player of the year. He proved himself worthy of that honor by leading his team to a 5 3 to 2 victory over our battle-torn Dragons. Traveling again, the Centra! eleven met the highly-touted Defiance team: and as the old saying goes: We came, we saw. but, alas, we were conquered 26 to 20. Back on the home field the Red and Green won a sweeping victory over the Dayton Kiser Panthers, the Dayton football champs, by a score of 9 to 6. running our victories over the Panthers to two straight games. Journeying upstate, the team avenged our defeat of the previous season by vanquishing Van Wert 18 to 6: then home again, only to drop a heart-breaker to the Findlay Trojans 1 2 to 7. Playing the last out-of-town game of the season. Central, even though playing in a driving rain, trounced Kenton 20 to 7 at the dedication of their new field.

Those freshmen were pretty tough, weren ' t they? The Ccntr.il reserve team inaugurated their season by traveUng to Columbus Grove and bowing to the score of 6 to lo the Columbus Grove varsity. Acting as host, the Dragons met the Elida varsity in the Lima stadium and showed themselves not quite up to their regular form by dropping their second game 27 to 6. Undaunted by their previous defeats, the Central second team played the Leipsic varsity: and. as it was played in a drizzling rain, the final score read to 0. Wally Smith broke away for an eighty-six yard touchdown run but the ball was brought back to the line of scrimmage and the score was not counted because of a penalty. Strengthened by their moral victory over Leipsic, the Central eleven played Flndlay to a standstill at the Lima stadium the next week. Although the score read for the second time to 0. the Dragons ' Reserve team outplayed their opponents completely. Playing the Elida varsity for the second time that season, the Central gridders again bowed to the husky farmer lads. The second team showed their worth by pulling down the score from 27 to 6 to 13 to 6. A victory over Central ' s valiant frosh st|uad. 26 to 12. wound up the season.

Acting as host in the Lima stadium. the young Dragons lost to the same Shawnee reserve team that they had defeated a short time be- fore. Shawnee ' s lone two points enabled them to beat the Central eleven: these were netted on an automatic safety when a blocked punt rolled out of ihe end zone. That 2 to score was the smallest of the year. With opponents hard to find, the frosh and reserve teams played each other in the last game on the freshman schedule. After a hard fought battle that was nip and tuck all the way. the lighter freshmen bowed to the reserve team 26 to 12. The team, consisting of Jack Bales. Glenn Webb. John Fletcher. Bill Basinger. Dick Bishop, Bob Bowman. Bill Connors. Bob Cast, John Reed. Kenneth Harrod. Nick Vucovich. and Israel Rachlin and Bud Koch, manager, played a total of three games during the season, winning one and losing two. The fact that they were playing older and more experienced boys didn ' t mean a thing to Central ' s future football stars: they were in there, fighting all the way. Much credit is due Coach Emerson Seitz. for he is the man we must depend upon for our future football recruits. He took these youngsters, trained and watched over them so that he might help to develop them into players that any school would he glad to have on its teams. Keep up the good work Coach Seitz: we arc depending on you. ARNOLD GREENBERG, ' 41 fifty -six cll,li. U. Row 1— Bob Brentlinger. K.n. Ml.h.i... Waviu- U il.-,. lOuKtni Ii rt.kr. Uick HiU. Kvin. il.

The Centralites gave way to the old Findlay Bugaboo, as the Trojans gave Central a 27 to 40 lacing. The boys lost a 3 2 to 2 3 de- cision to Defiance but trounced St. Rose 27 to 24. The Dragons dropped a bitter 26 to 23 battle to the South high Bengals. Coach Settlemires team succumbed to a group of classy Hamilton shooters and also lost to Bowling Green. The next game thev jumped back into the winning column by outscoring Galion 51 to 27. Home again, they defeated Piqua 5 7 to 48 and nosed out a fair Kiser team 54 to 3 3 at Dayton but were badly clawed in their second Tiger fray. At Kenton the Dragon combine won a 4 3 to 4 2 duel. Winding up another year of floor activity, the team stomped on the Sidney Yellow Jackets for a 34 to 2 7 win. Central concluded its second season under the direction of Coach Settlemirc with a record of twelve victories and seven losses. The district tournament on February It opened on the Findlay hardwood. Central drew a first round bye but in the second round of play defeated Celina 25 to 20 thus advancing into the finals of the lower bracket with Crestline as their opponent. Central clicked mechanically to eliminate Crestline 3 5 to 22. In one of the most titanic sectional court struggles in recent years, Findlay eked out a 33 to 29 decision over Central in the finals and so earned the right to com- pete in the state tourney at Columbus, The reserve squad this year was composed of the iollowing boys: John Eislcy.

The Central freshmen basketball team, supervised by Mr, Emerson Seitz, opened their 1939- 1940 season. December ! 2. with a 42 to 24 defeat at Gomcr. This year ' s team, composed of Bob Bowman. John Reed. Nick Vucovich. Joe Dillon. Harold Jennings. Bob Gast. Dick Shurr. Jim Bales. Bill Kobler. Kenneth Harrod. and Morris Ramers and Bugs Koch, the manager, entertained a Kenton quintet, outlasting them 4 7 to 24. The following week the Ccntralitcs defeated the Bcaverdam Reserves in the Dragon gym with a 30 to 23 score. On January 1, the frosh squad scalped the Shawnee Indians 32 to 17 at Shawnee. The team then scampered on to a 34 to 22 win at Elida, but in the following game Kenton upset them 17 to 14 at Kenton. In the first game with South, the Tigers proved their superiority by grabbing a 25 to 17 victory from the Centralites. Then Seitz ' s boys outscored a Bluffton outfit 24 tc 14. At the annual invitational freshmen floor tournament February 3, at South high. Central emerged a survivor of the first round play by winning 27 to 16 over Bluffton. Findlay then forfeited to Central in the second round. The freshmen team went on to down Kenton 38 to 23 and thus cop the tournament honors. Vucovich was named captain-center and Bowman guard on the all-tourncy team. After winning the freshmen tournament with superb playing, the same boys stopped Spencerville 21 to 10 but were defeated by Findlay 3 3 to 14 on the Dragon court February 19. This ended their seasonal play. The freshmen teams have consistently been building up excellent varsity material in the past, so hats off to you freshmen. Well be expecting big things from you soon. • — Don Butts, ' 41 filly -eight Row 1— Don McDonaM, R.-h-rt Urick. Kow 2 — GeorKe Scheckelhoff, Paul Vucovich, B u NajjreUon.

When they played Kenton, our boys ran off with an 1 8 to 1 5 win. Again playing Perry town- ship, the Central lads turned the tables, this time grabbing a 1 7 to 9 advantage. In an engage- ment with Kenton, the Dragons galloped to a 27 to 20 victory and then proceeded to trim Beav- erdam ' s junior Allen county winners 1 5 to 13. During their season ' s record of nine wins and one loss, the Dragons averaged 22 points per game to their opponents ' 14. Jack Maisch led in in- dividual scoring for the season. Coach Marshall ' s cagers played excellent ball all season and will make up the future varsity teams at Central. The managers were Bob Urick and Don McDonald. Nice going. Walt: hope you continue turning out good junior high teams in the future. As Central ' s intcrclass basketball drew to a close, the heavyweight standings were: seniors, first; juniors, second: sophomores, third: and freshmen, fourth. The senior winners were Bob Sims. Ed Penn. George Vucovich. Jim Johnson. Ralph Ramers. Dick Gaugh. ' VeTnon Rasor. and Don Rummel. They copped the honors by winning all three games.

Cross-country was rated as a minor sport this year, as only two meets were scheduled with Fort Wayne North Side high school. The team consisting of Howard iMiller. Bob Ousley. Harry Schipper. Myron Thompson. Bob Conkel. John Eislcy. and Dan Sullivan with manager Louis Hamilton played host to Fort Wayne at their first meeting but lost with the score 19 to 58. The local record of 10:55 was shaved down to 10:39 by Don Buick of North Side, and to 10:43 by Howard Miller of Central. Traveling to Fort Wayne for the last meet, the Dragons .igain bowed to a splendid North Side team. 23 to 54. To receive a major letter a boy had to place in the upper ten at the invitational meet in Springfield. Ohio. Howard Miller and Bob Ousley did place: Miller came in eighth with Ousley placing tenth. Of our entries in the district meet, also held at Springfield. Bob Ousley was the only Dragon to place, rating sixth. As a result of these two meets. Miller received a track medal, and Ousley. a medal and a golden track buckle. Keep up the good work fellows. With such goals to strive for. our future cross-country teams will have to be good. Coach Ronald Dotson deserves much credit for the masterful way in which he developed these boys. Handicapped as he was with the lack of experienced material, he whipped up a Dragon team of record breakers. — Arnold Greenburg, ' 41 sixty U v, 1 Kulitrt (irahani.

The following February I 7. wc met Xenia in our home tank, and they took the bait. hook, line, and sinker. Central .shellacked Xenia 40 to 26 according to the judge ' s book. He should know, shouldn ' t he? Incidentally, the stamping grounds of the Dragon swimming team is the Y. M. C. A. pool. This year Huffer set a new breast stroke record for the Y pool. Say! These guys sure get around, don ' t they? Huffer took second place for breast strokers in the district tournament at Toledo and third in the state meet in Columbus. Three boys. Rex. Huffer. and Miller, won the required number of points to earn a varsity letter. Wilbur Laibe. the hard-working and efficient manager of our swimming team was awarded a varsity letter also. Reserve letters were awarded to Bob Boose, Clayton Amspaugh, Jack Stuber. Jack Witham. and Bob Boyd. We believe that next year Central will have a still better tank team than this year. As a token of appreciation to Coach Jones we doff our hats for the fine way he developed the team. We ' ll see you next year. Coach. — Doyle R. Smith.

Morgan Jones, coaching our golf team for the first time, found Howard. Webb. Ennis Walker. Bruce Robinson, Dick Hill. Jim Meffley, and Jim Wright waiting to tee up and prove iheir prowess on the greens. As each player teed up and drove for the little red flag marked with a big white I. Coach Jones cast his speculative eye on the form and accuracy of the mighty Centralites. After se ' eral weeks of grueling practice, he decided to open the competitive season with a meet against our sister school. South, In this titanic tilt — much as it pains me to say this — South emerged from the maelstrom victorious to the tune of 1 8 to 0, Too bad, fellows: better luck next time. April 29, the day of the Dragons ' meeting with Findlay, came rolling around and dawned. Alas! alack! Findlay, battling all the way. captured 14 1-2 of the possible 18 points. Next came Sidney. After a hard battle on the greens, the foursome ended up with exactly the same score as that of the Dragon quartet. Hey, gang, here comes Sidney again. What do you say we beat them this time. ' And would you believe it, that ' s just what our noble generals did. By trouncing the Yellow Jackets 9 to 3, the Dragons won iheir first match of the season. The Dragons journeyed to the district tourn.iment at Bucyrus to capture second place, bowing only to the Tigers of South, Coach Jones, we congratulate you and your splendid golf team. To our profound sorrow we lost by graduation Captain Howard Webb. Ennis Walker. Bruce Robinson. Jim Wright, and Jim Meffley. We all hope this year ' s team will be as fine as the one Coach Jones turned out last year, or better. — Doyle R, Smith. ' 4 2 sixly-thrc Row I — Don Allen, Mr. Kraner, Jim Waltemath.

Gosh, it ' s too hot: let ' s call it quits, Auky?.. Check Carl- son ' s speed — C ' mon play ball; quit waving at that doll, Jim — Tennis sure is a racquet. The Central net team, composed of Fred Hindman. Bill Waltemath. Jim Waltemath. Don Carlson. Bob HoUopeter. Harold Aukermann. Don Rummel, and Bud Bloomquist. chose Fred Hindman as their captain and initiated their 1939 schedule with a walloping win over their intra- city rivals, the South Tigers, 7 to 0. Thus they started off with a clean slate and remained undefeated throughout the season. On May 2. the Dragons swept the Bluffton Beavers off the Horace Mann courts by thrashing them 5 to 0. Central continued its winning ways by overcoming Sidney ' s Lanky Lobbers 3 to 2. Then on May 1 1. Coach Kraner ' s boys handed South another defeat, whipping them 4 to 1 . Hitting on high, on May 12. the Central racqueteers. romped over the Fostoria Red Men 5 to 1 . On May 15, in their last officially scheduled game of the season, the Dragons outpointed the tennis-crazy boys from Bluffton 4 to 1 . Fred Hindman and Bill Waltemath then went to the Kenyon College invitational matches where they were defeated by the state singles and doubles runners-up. Later in the district tournament at Bowling Green. Fritz Hindman emerged the No. 2 man in the singles and Bob HoUopeter and Bill Waltemath came out as the No. 3 doubles team. Not satisfied with these laurels. Fritz Hindman went to the state matches at Columbus where he was defeated only by the state champion. Following this, the curtain was drawn on another year of tennis competition. Everyone enjoyed playing on the team, and Coach Kraner should be complimented for his ability in turning out such a fine group. The boys played superior tennis all season and were one of the best tennis teams Central has had. We hope to see the underclassmen of the team back next year and wish for them and Mr. Kraner another success- ful season. — Don Butt.s. ' 41 sixty -four Row I — Gerald Rhone.

Thank you student body. The Dragon meteors won four our of their five assaults against rival schools. The first meet was against South, so the Central tracksters ran on all eight cylinders and trounced them by a score of 41 to 7 7. How ' s that for goin ' to town ' We imagine that the Tiffin Columbian coach wished he had never heard of Central after being beaten by 4 7 points. A fair score by the Dragons, don ' t you think? Bellefontaine, poor souls, fell before the rollers of the Dragons ' mighty juggernaut of athletic prowess and efficiency to the tune of 42 to 76. Not a half bad culmination for a battle roval on the cinders of Lima ' s stadium. Not unlike Napoleon. Findlay met her Waterloo at Ye Olde Alma Mater. The comple- tion of this struggle can be easily summed up in three little words: 50 1- to 77 2- ' ?. And now. fair reader, comes the only blot on the record for racing victories. Ft. Wayne North forced the Dragons to surrender. The Ft. Wayne North general demanded and got 74 points while General Dotson had to be satisfied with 5. After Bowling Green and the district tournament, the Centralitcs came home, toting the ribbon for fourth place. Returning home from the Miami relays, the Dragons again exhibited fourth position on the program for the afternoon. Because of lack of space, it is impossible to recognize individually each noble hearted Cen- tral trackster w ho reported to Coach Dotson for spring practice at the stadium. Therefore we extend hearty thanks from Coach Dotson. the faculty, and the student body to the boys who carried the torch in track. — DoYLn R, Smith.

Take a gander at Rex Setllemire ' s heinie ... He certainly sets an example. The first to lead the parade of our worthy coaehcs is Iili A. Hauenstein. better known to us all as Stein: he is the usual genial person we all admire. Although Stein is very busy with his job as faculty manager of athletics, he always has a moinent to stop and tell a few of his clever jokes. Completing his second year as a trainer at Ye ' Ol ' Alma Mater. Morgan Jones ended an excellent coaching season in football, track, and swimming. Witty Coach Jones is usually seen at noon or morning entering ihe office of E. A. Hauenstein. Cheery Rex Settlemire. ace basketball and baseball coach, spurred his team on to many gal- lant victories. As any member of his team will tell you. Coach Settlemire sets a good example for his team in courtesy and sportsman.ship. His baseball and basketball teams had an excellent season, and he prophecies an even better one next vcar. Our track and cross country coach, Ronald Dotson. affectionately called Dot by some of our athletic members, is full of the charm and grace of a natural athlete. Jovial Floyd Overholser has been very successful this season as the reserve basketball coach, Ovie is training our brave warriors to be varsity members next year. Walter Binkley has organized a very good bowling team. His t uiet personality has brought him a great many friends, Emerson Seitz. being a friend to his team as well as coach, has brought his freshmen basket- ball team to the front by winning the freshman tournaments. Walter Marshall, although he looks much like a student, has been very successful as a coach of junior high basketball and junior high football this season. Coach Kraner has shown his ability as tennis coach by leading the Central tennis team through an undefeated season. In appreciation to our hard working coaches, we dedicate this page.

Don ' t ever let anyone tell you that the managers don ' t work. They spend many hours of hard labor after every practice and every scheduled game of the season. Although they are unnoticed by the spectator, they do their share. For instance, in football there are helmets to be shined. uniforms to be brushed, and mud to be scraped from the cleats of each player ' s shoe. Minor medical care is often necessary to the players, and faithful managers are on the job with well equipped kits. In basketball there is also quite a bit to bo done: basketball suits, shoes, and other equipment have to be put in their special places. Bob Baker and Warren Hodosko. our head football managers, have well earned their major letter. Even though Bob is small, he surely can stand a mass production when it comes to work; and Warren, although he is very shy. has a magnificent personality and helps players in many- ways. Mike Davidian and Frank Marker, our up and coming freshmen, are well on their way to be excellent managers. Jim Cavanaugh has worked hard this year as head manager of basketball. Handsome but shy Jim has completed his senior year as a varsity manager. We will all miss his cheerie smile. The honorable James Ferdinand Ackerman ' s joking personality fits him perfectly as assistant manager of the basketball team. Our cross country manager. Louis Hamilton, has much of the same sparkling personality as has his brother Elton: Louis is always ready to aid any members of the team. Jim Koch, who has charge of all the baseball equipment, has well earned his letter as man- ager. Although he is very bashful. Jim. always has a pleasant smile for all. The sleek black haired lad is none other than Wilbur Laibe, whose willingness and witty personality has been appreciated by the swimming team. Rosemary Hardy ' 41 SI. xiy- seven Row 1 — Dick Gaush.

To most persons the C Association is just an organization to which many high school boys belong. It is more than just an organization. To belong to this association a boy must earn at some time during his four years of high school a major letter in any major sport. He must also uphold the C Associations five requirements which are honor, cooperation, leadership, sportsmanship, and scholarship. The C Association was instituted in 1922 by Coach Theibert. formerly of Central. E. A. Hauenstein. our worthy and genial faculty manager, now advises the boys according to the revised constitution. The officers. Bob Brentlingcr. president: Milan Stanich. vice president: Jim Johnson, secretary: George Vucovich. treasurer: and Tom Evans, Sergeant-at arms, are well liked by all and hold high the five requirements of the C Association. This year, as previous, the C Association held its initiation ceremony in assembly. The meeting was called to order by the president and the athletes that received major letters in bas- ketball were inducted. Speeches were given by some of the ol der members on honor, co operation, sportsmanship, leadership, and scholarship. The C Association also has its fun. for in the spring the members hold annually a magnificent Father-and-Son banquet. At this affair initiation services are given for those hav ing received major letters in any of the spring sports, track, swimming, baseball, and golf. Last year this banquet was held at a local hotel. There was plenty of good food to eat and a good time was had by all. Rosemary H.ardv ' -ti sixty-eight Row I — Wilbur Lailjc Hill FislKT.

Lets have a practice game before that badminton tournament starts next week. This is just one of the many sports the Girls ' Athletic association has added to its program. The original purpose, to encourage a greater number of girls to take part in athletics, is being at- tained each year, as now one hundred and fifty girls belong to this group. Unlike many other organizations the only requirement for membership is a girls personal interest in athletics. Points toward the numeral, letter, and chevron awards are given for par- ticipation in any activity sponsored by the G. A. A. Five hundred points entitles a girl to a numeral and one thousand points, a letter. This year the board decided to give a chevron for fifteen hunderd points and two chevrons for two thousand points. A girl may earn these required points by active participation in any of these sports: tennis, volleyball, basketball, bad- minton, deck tennis, hit pin. and bowling. In the sports, volleyball, basketball, .ind hit pin. in- tramural and interdass tournaments are held. The governing body of the G. A. A. is the board composed of th; following: Theima Von Almen, president: Marjorie Ripley, vice president: Marcella Roberts, secretary: Betty Floyd, treasurer: Helen Mallett. basketball: Virginia Kennedy, volleyball: Margie Surratt. hit pin: Elaine Wening: tennis: Irma Rutter. hiking: Connie Richardson, minor sports: Dorothy Fridley. publicity: and Patty Roberts, freshman representative. This year the board, under the capable supervision of Theima Von Almen and Miss Adelaide Sawyer, was very efficient in taking com- plete charge of the food concession at the stadium. The complete success of this entire program is due. in .i large part, to one person whom we all admire and who is an excellent example of that sportsmanship which she stresses, Miss Adelaide Sawyer. — Marjorie Riplhy, ' 40 seventy Row 1 — Irma Riitter, Thelma, Von Almen, MarcL ' Ua Robt-rt .

Immediately after this tournament was finished Virginia Kennedy, the cabinet head of volleyball, with Miss Adelaide Sawyer selected the interclass teams.

Marjorie Ripley defeated Betty Floyd in the finals 6 to 2 and 8 to 6. A feature of the basketball season was a keenly contested game between a leam ol girls and a team from the Dragons Athletic club. The only catch was that the boys wore boxing gloves. With this magnanimous disadvantage, of course, the boys were defeated 6 to 0. The next minor sport, badminton, was inauguarated this year at Central and had a large turn out. It took a freshman to show us how to play; Marilyn Newcomb defeated Marjorie Rip- ley in two straight sets for the championship. The G. A. A. sponsors three other late spring sports, hit pin. deck tennis, and tennis doubles. The G. A. A. also had a Who ' s Who contest and the following results were announced: Best passwork (team), seniors: best forward. Marjorie Ripley: best guard. Thelma Von .Mmen: outstanding freshman player. Patty Roberts; outstanding sophomore player. Doris Plankcll; outstanding junior player. Betty Floyd; outstanding senior player, Marjorie Ripley; most excitable player, Betty Floyd and Deborah Grant: calmest player. Marcella Roberts; best sport. Marjoria Ripley; floor mop.

Nancy Leech, perfect teeth and smile: Virginia Kennedy, best disposition: Marcinc Blodgett, ideal eyes; Marjorie Ripley, faultless complexion, excellent brains, and flawless sportsmanship. Try as they might no one could find any one to equal our president, Thelma Von Almen, who pos- sessed the ideal hair. nose, figure, clothes, popularity, personality, wit and versatility.

Well, here is a picture of the goings on.

Tucked back in the corner at the far end of the third floor on the junior high side, we find the Black Hole of Calcutta, full of prisoners who are laboring desperately over the coming issue of the Mirror. What a mad scramble goes on here. For Mirror workers every other Monday night means cramped fingers and burning eyes: hut. through the efforts of these few people, we have the Mirror, overflowing with human and educational interests. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Introduced by this ancient proverb. Miss Laura Jamison steps into the picture. She is none other than the literary advisor who has a man-size job keeping the ball rolling. Balancing digits from the liabilities to the assets columns of the ledger is H. C. Heffner ' s job as business manager. The two publications, the Annual and Weekly, are under his watchful. Scottish eye. In looking over the crowd we find that the owner of those fast flying fingers moving a pencil over a sheet of paper is one of the co-editors-in-chief. Dorothy Bccher. Next to her and by no means unoccupied, is the other editor. Virginia Lewis. Pitching right in with a helping hand are the associate editors, Marjorie Botklns and Edith Johnson. Sitting across the table we find James Ackerman. sports editor, with a rather disgusted look on his face. The feature editor, Mable Harshe. has results to show for her hours of labor, while Frances Ridcnour takes care of the advertising. We congratulate this year ' s staff for the splendid work and hope thai the future staffs will take up where this year ' s left off in making Ye OI ' Central high ' s Mirror bigger and better. .lo Ann Bocart ' 4 1 cuihlii-thifc • y 1 5. . ■© « 1 ik M rjj Row 1 - Bettie Collins.

IVe Honor Our Writers Have they announced the Quill and Scroll members yel? ... 1 hope that I get in . . . Gee. wouldn ' t that be swell! . . . How are your grades? . . . O, gee — just imagine being a member of the international honorary society for high school journalists! . . . The suspense is killing me! . . . Do you have the required number of points? . . . See you at the initiation — I hope! Back in 1926 at the University of Iowa was organized an international honorary society for high school journalists. It is better known to Ye Ol ' Centralites as the Quill and Scroll. The ambition of every Central journalist is to become a member of this society. Central is proud to say that through the efforts of H. C. Heffner Central received the first charter presented in Ohio in October of the year 1926. The members are held to a small minority due to the rigid requirements for admission. To have the honor of wearing a small; gold pin bearing a quill and ' scroll, the student must be a junior or senior in high school and must do outstanding work on cither of the Mirror staflfs. A top ranking requirement is scholarship, and an applicant must rank in the upper third of his class. Fifteen hundred points must be made according to the staff rating system. Members must be recommended by the faculty advisors of the public.ition. and records must be sanctioned by the national committee of the society. The initiation ceremony is centered around the following oath taken by the new mem- bers! I do solemnly covenant with these persons here assembled that I will ever be true to the ideals of the Quill and Scroll . . . On my sacred honor I pledge myself to do all in my power to aid the cause of better journalism. May God help me to do so. - Taking the oalh this year were Jim Ackerman. Robert Parmenter. Marjorie Botkin. Bettie Collins, Betty ' Floyd. Edith Johnson, Virginia Lewis, Marcella Roberts. Marjorie Ripley, and June Schulte. May Central ' s journalists always do their par! to uphold the standards of the Quill and Scroll. Jo Ann Bot ' iAUT ' 41 eighly-foiir Row I — Nadine Corson, Zell Sandifer, Alta Jayiie Clark.

Central can honestly say that we are setting a fine example of self government. This year the council can claim another successful year. Through the hall committee those noisy and cluttered corridors are being remedied, and the pupils are being urged to pick up the paper. The dance committee revised the rules this year with the result that our hops are orderly though some may be swing sessions. This year the trial system has been initiated by the honor study hall group to remove all disordcrlyi students from 202 without dissention. Have you ever lost a pen. pencil, or any other article? The lost and found committer have provided a way for it to be returned. Those boys on street patrol have kept the accidents down to a minimum with the help of the street patrol committee. Snappy assemblies have been planned with student leaders in charge. Activities in general have been stiperviscd by the student com- mittee. The usual plan of popular nomination prevailed with the eight seniors, six juniors, four sophomores, two freshmen, one eighth and one seventh grader elected to represent their classes and compose the student council for the year. The officers and committees were as follows: Bob Richards, chairman: Tom Evans, vice chairman: Alta Jayne Clark, clerk: Zell Sandifer. Tom Evans. Robert Heil. Alta Jayne Clark.

Keep schedule running smoothly . . . That is all. Confidentially, here ' s some dope about Central Highway. Central ' s corridor patrol was organized to prevent tardiness, paper strewn halls, and un- becoming conduct. Today it is very vital to Central in keeping daily schedules running smoothly. Hall monitors are chosen at the beginning of the year for both the junior and senior high sides. They report at 8;05 a. m. and 12:50 p. m. for duty. Those who faithfully complete their assignments receive pins for one year of service and certificates for a half-year of service. With an enrollment such as Central ' s the hall monitors must constantly be on the alert lo keep order. Any loafers found after the warning bell are duly escorted to their domiciles. It ' s hard to part students, especially during the loveliest of spring weather: but. It ' s in the course of duty , you ' ll hear a monitor remark. I asked ol ' Zeke to give me some information about hall patrol and here ' s what he said: Thar ' s a student council committee who aids the monitors in holdin ' down the fort. They ' re Tom Stump, chairman, Zell Sandifer. Joyce Cottner, and Sue Faudree. They kinda sorta offered suggeschens to the monitors and ' presented to the student council any problims that might arise. Oh. yes, hit seems as though sum students ain ' t as particular as they could be bout lockin ' their lockers, and sumtimes we haf ta git right after them scallywaggs . Well. I thanked Zeke and then interviewed C. R. Delong. He said it was up to the mon- itors lo help all the new junior high students become accustomed to the rules and regulations of Central; this makes them better law-abiding Centralites. With many thanks to C. R. Delong, E, L. Huber, and H. C. Heffncr. Central ' s patrol chiefs, the monitors had a successful year in promoting law and order.

Do you students realize how much you really owe the street patrol? These stalwart, comely boys — (ahem-men) — have bravely taken their places daily to save your lives. They make safe the lives ot all who so cagerlv ( ' ) enter these great halls of learning. At a meeting early in the semester, they chose the following officers who have capably guided them through the year: Danny Easton, chief of police; Myron Wincgardner. lieutenant: Harris Morris, clerk: and Bob Meffley. treasurer. All boys maintained a high scholastic and athletic standing and are really fine. Get busy, girls. It ' s LEAP year:!!! E. l . Huber. the faculty supervisor, deserves much credit for this splendid work. In a sympathetic and understanding way. he has worked out all problems with the boys, and they really enjoy his friendly advice. The importance of the work rendered by this group and the service which they offer are appreciated more as each year passes, not only by the mothers of the youngsters whose steps need guidance, but by the aged sojourner whose faltering steps waver and by the tired busi- nessman who in his haste might fail to note a passing figure or a rapidly moving vehicle. By receiving service pins, all twenty-three members were duly awarded for their splendid work. Several enjoyable social functions, such as hay-rides and dances, were held this year. We salute these brave boys who. with very little recognition, so courageously battle all weather to aid us in our coming and going to and from Ye ' Ole Central high. — Jean Van Horn -41 cighty-sfven Row 1 Mary Mumiuigh.

Now, listen kids, you ' ve gotta be nuiet or out we all go . . . There that ought U hold ' em . . . Gee, re- sults! . . . Everyone ' s as quiet as a mouse . . . Looks like I can study. Central ' s desire for independence and trust in its students w.is recognized some eight years ago when honor study halls were introduced within these portals. The purpose of this project is to promote honor among the students. Each seat in Room 202 is deserving of some honor bright lad ot lassie and admittance is granted to those best qualified. Every period has a student chiirman whose duties arc to check attendance, grant reasonable permissions, and win friends and influence students. A committee composed of student council members. Marcelia Roberts, chairman, Betty Myers, and Nadinc Corson, helped shoulder the responsibility of the study halls. They fulfilled their duties with much finesse and tact. Thanks to E. L. Huber, chief advisor, the srudv hall chairmen were able to present honor study halls as a real student project. Hear Yc! Hear Ye! Changes were made concerning the removal of students who did not abide by the set rules. If any student was impish in any way, evidence was brought before the court, and his case was presented by the monitor who acted as judge. A verdict was ren- dered by the students as to whether or not he should be .sentenced to Room 3 07. Ah. woe betide the careless! This method proved successful due to the fact that no student wished to leave the democracy of 202. Those who are seeking the best must follow the right path. Con- fuscious say. He is own .stumbling block who is block head . With a bit of thought let us recognize our responsibilities in setting good examples of honesty. Vivacious individuals are always welcome in any society, but rowdies are frowned upon. Remember youse kids and start your training with the true blue honor standards set in Central ' s 202.

The Central Stage club was organized in 1 9 Uii by Stanton Steiner and Albert Smith to promote interest in stage work and management. At the plays presented by the Central classes and clubs the boys of the Stage club arrange the setting and manage the lighting effects and curtain. The boys of the club are responsible for the e.xccUcnt arrangement of the orchestra, band, glee clubs and the chorus when they appear. In fact, for everything that goes on in the auditorium these boys have the complete handling, and they can be found working long and hard before and after each activity in the auditorium. The sixteen enthusiastic members meet every Wednesday to discuss stage maintenance and operation. At the meetings the boys give reports on lighting effects and procedure on the stage. To enlarge and better their knowledge the boys went to the Ohio Theater on December 9. to study the working of stage equipment, lighting, and fixtures. At their meetings Charles Covey, head stage manager, is the presiding officer; Merlin Kohli, the assistant stage manager: .John Neely, secretary and treasurer: Stanton Steiner and Albert Smith, the advisors. Of the sixteen members six make up the stage crew, and they are given the privilege of choosing their successors from the remaining ten boys at the end of each year. It is a custom of the club to hold a banquet for the members each year at the Norval hotel.

Bob Huffer, Earl Moreo. Jean Esther Morris, Bill Parmenter, Dale Poling. Frederick Rakestraw, Bob Richards, and Elaine Wening. The squad entered practice tournaments at Marysville. Fort Wayne Central. Fort Wayne North, Kenton, and Piqua. These tournaments gave them practice for the tournament debating which later took place. After ample practice the squad participated in extemporaneous speaking contests on Novem- ber 18. at Fort Wayne North and December ! and 2. at Columbus, where they also attended the debate of Ohio State vs. Michigan University. Other speech contests were held at Woostcr. Hamilton. Marysville. Peru. Indiana, and Shelby. The topic for all of these debates and one of vital interest to the country was: Resolved that the Federal government should own and operate the railroads. One can well understand the heated arguments which took place on this topic. Each member of the first team, which consisted of Bill Parmenter, Dorothy Becher, Earl Moreo, and Bob Richards, received an Ohio High School Speech League key because they attended the Columbus debate. The school ' s appreciation of the fine work the entire squad has done was shown in assembly when debate letters were presented to the group. Mr. Stanley Boylan. supervi.sor. was and always is ready to lend a helping hand to any of the members. His work is very much appreciated by, not only the squad, but by the whole school. As extra activity the squad gave interesting debates before the I.ijna Business and Pro- fessional Women ' s club and the Lima Co-Operative club. The contest among the schools of District 8 of the State Debate league was held at Lima Central on March 1. The schools participating were Findlay, Bascomc, Bluffton. Lima South, and Lima Central. Lima South was the winner of this district and Central placed second. Ye ' Ole Central High will never be able to express its gratitude for the excellent work done by this group.

Knocking knees and nagjiing nerves weie very popular wlicn tlie inlerclass speech contest was in session. Most Itkely everyone was in the same condition. It was one of the most talked about events at that time. Everyone was. as this generation would say. scared stiff. Some stu- dents got through just as easily as possible, doing it simply because they were required to do so: on the other hand, there were those who studied their subjects thoroughly and came out with flying colors. The interclass speech contest is still in its infancy, since it was started only last year, but is developing rapidly and has a promising future. Seated in the judges ' stand this year were Misses Gaylc Howey. Georgia Swickard, Ruth Chiles, Gussie Bream. Clara Helle, and H. W. Kraner. Robert Christy. Floyd Ovcrholser and Stanley Boylan. Nine contestants plus the alternates were chosen from each of the three classes. Only the highest ranking three of each nine were chosen for the final appearance in assembly where they gave their speeches. The highest ranking three in each class were as follows: seniors, Dorothy Becher. Bob Richards, and Ray Peterson: juniors. Marilyn Claassen. Dale Poling, and Elaine Wening: sophomores. Barbara Bowman. Harry Fockler. and June Webb. We congratulate the sponsors of this contest for their splendid work and sincerely hope that they will have continued success.

Yc OIc Central high again enters the front lines of scholastic attainment with a newly organized Sophomore debate club. This club was organized for the purpose of training its members in the technique of debating. A series of debates were planned in which each club member was given an opportunity to participate by debating on topics of vital interest. The debates centered around such im- portant topics as socialized medicine, restriction of immigr.ition. and ownership and operation of radio activities. Membership in the club was open to anv sophomore desiring to participate. Meetings were held every two weeks at which time the members, practicing proper debating style and formality, discussed various questions with much enthusiasm. The following officers were chosen: John Timmerman, president; Claudine Renz. vice president; Jeanne McDonnel, secretary; and Jewel Stalter. treasurer. These efficient officers had splendid co-operation from the club members. We are told that already many a doting father or mother has been influenced by the aggressive and convincing arguments forthcoming from young aspirants for special parental privileges. Enough cannot possibly be said for Herbert I.ce as to his astounding ability in teaching the members of the club the foundations of debating. How do we know but that through his help some of these members will be the Henry Clays. Daniel Websters. and Ciceros of the future. ' To Herbert Lee we give our hearty thanks and approval for the work he has done and sincerely hope that he will keep it up! ' !

Mmd Triumphs Over Matter A yearly feature at Central has been the scholarship tests given by the State Department of Education. After averages were checked and double checked, the thirty-three highest ranking seniors taking academic subjects were chosen to participate. On Saturday. March 31. thirty-three contestants from Central met in Room 307 to ponder over the tests which were objective. The exam, which was in booklet form, covered five subjects, math. literature, history, science, and reading. The State Department of Education determines the upper five per cent in the state and recommends these students for scholarships to colleges of their choice. The thirty-three high ranking seniors, who represented Central high school in this schol- arship test, were selected because of the general average of their grades in all major subjects for four years. Only contestants ranking highest in the county, district, and state are given awards. Special recognition should be given to Robert Heffner. who placed first in the county and district with a score of 25 3 out of 285. and ranked among the first ten in the state. Other Cen- tral students who placed among the first sixteen were Ray Peterson. John Albertson, Arthur Kuhlman. Orrie Barr. Albert Goldin. Charles Stilgenbauer. and Bob Frysinger. Those who put forth effort but were not quite as successful were Evelyn Castoe. Eleanor Mc- Jilton. Harrison Hughes. Thelma X onAlmen. Ruth McDonel. Evelyn Burkcy, Marceil Rockey. Virginia Lewis. Marjorie Ripley. Jean Hilgendorf. Marcella Roberts. George Vucovich. Mary Vermillion. Evelyn Adams. Robert Brentlinger. Juaniti Weber. Richard Norton. John Baxter. Dorothy Becher. Betty Burgoon.

Here ' s The People ' s Choice Who ' s Who is an jnnual contest sponsored by tho Mirror and Student council. By this means the students select their favorite pupils. One bright and sunny day in March they elected the following: Zell Sandifer. most popular girl: Bob Brentlinger. most popular boy: MarccUa Rob- erts, most dignified student: Bettie Collins. loveliest: Jerry Clark, most handsome boy: Marcella Roberts, most courteous student: Zell Sandifer. girl with best personality: Bob Brentlinger. boy with best personality: Shirley Mcrencss, neatest girl: Tom Hughes, neatest boy; Milan Stanich. most bashful boy: and Anne Haneke. shyest girl. Let ' s delve into facts and see why each one was chosen for his position. Brown-haired, blue-eyed, always smiling and a colorful cutup — that ' s Zell Sandifer. Tall, friendly, super-human, outstanding on field, floor, and track characterizes Bob Brent- linger. Gay. friendly, brown-haired, hazel-eyed, and not nearly so quiet as she seems is charming Marcella Roberts, Faithful, dark hair, dark eyes — all sounds like Hedv LaMarr, doesn ' t it? It ' s none other than lovely Bettie Collins, Wavy brown hair, sea blue eye;, a toothpaste smile, and a way with women — as you guessed it ' s debonair Jerry Clark, Petite, dark-haired, dramatic, attractive — all adds up to Shirley Mereness. Blond, good looking, talkative, gay and neat — I wonder, could it be? Yes. it is Tom Hughes. Beautiful brown eyes, bashful, athletic, a woman hater certainly describes Milan Stanich. S[iarkling brown eyes, curly brown hair, a generous sprinkling of freckles, and grand dis- position is a well liked senior. Anne Haneke. • — Marcella Roberts. ' 40 nmcli I our W.r4, V, O i .tr,,l.

Mr. Harold Clark certainly looks first rate in that white uniform. He has shown us some excellent band formations this year. too. His special arrangement of the Little Brown Jug with the Tigers as convicts was a wow at the Thanksgiving day game. Central ' s senior band always goes over big. and they are the envy of many other bands. Its members can be found every Monday. Wednesday, and Friday the first period in Central ' s new broadcasting studio blowing some of that wind, so well known to Centralites. into queer looking no-legged creatures called musical instruments. (Imagine a no-legged creature.) Some of this year ' s activities include the band festival at Paulding in May. the district con- test in March, the state contest in April, and various parades, such as the Armistic Day and peony festival parades. A Manx Overture by Haydn Wood. Stradella Overture by Flotow. and Finlandia by Jan Sibelius are a few of the numbers played in concert style. The band was organized in 1922 under the direction of Mr. Joseph Du Pere. The officers of the band this year were Don Williams, president: Ralph Tinianow. vice president; Mary Mumaugh. secretary: Duane Miller, treasurer; and Frank Sims, librarian. Mr. Harold O. Clark was an expert director and Mr. Charles O. Guy proved to be a very efficient business manager. Clayton Amspaugh was selected as head drum major, assisted by Betty Lassi- ter. Robert Zumbrun. and Don Brown. Little Suzanne Albert, first grade student at Lowell School, was mascot of the band during the marching season. — Dorothy Miller, ' 4? nmely-six Frank Abbey.

By some mistake 1 wandered imo the new broadcasting studio the seventh period one Tues- day. Weird sounds were echoing %vithin its spacious walls. I decided to stay, and the follow- ing bits of conversation 1 jotted down while sitting there wondering what I had walked into: Everybody ready! Begin! One. two, three, four. No. no! I believe you people play flat and enjoy it. This is the scale of G. not C. clarinets. Now let ' s start again. Strains of decidedly discordant music entered my ears. Someone turned to the fellow beside me and said. Hey. you ' re flat. When was the last time you tuned that thing? Tune it to my horn. A long drawn out G note broke through the scale. Say. whoever did that, we happen to be playing the scale of G. not just plain G. and you ' re turning that saxophone the wrong way if it ' s flat. I can hardly wait until Mr. Clark promotes me to senior band. At last! I had it ' This must be the junior band, where Central ' s young musicians are pre- pared for the senior band. The junior band was started by Mark Evans in 1 )33 and was taken over in 1935 by Harold O. Clark. This organization is composed of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students whose main ambition is to someday become leading musicians in the senior band. Rehearsals were held in the new broadcasting room after its completion. Hand me downs from the senior band were the first uniforms the junior band possessed. Later, regular uniforms were acc|uired. but due to the rapid increase of the organization these had to be discarded. This year ' s officers were James f-oulkes. president; Charles Remy. vice president. Mary Lou Ebersbach. secretary: Dick Welker. treasurer: and John Evans, librarian. — Dorothy Miller.

Where do we ko the sixth period? . . . Oh. we have Girls ' Glee club . . . Don ' t forKet to throw your sum away . . . Gee, we were almost late afirain . . . What are we Koing to sing? ... ' Tis Snowing ... I don ' t see any snow . . . Oh. that ' s the name of the song . . . Why don ' t you girls sing instead of talking so much? Back in 1914 the lassies of Ye Ole Central high school organized the first Girls ' Glee club for furthering the musical interests of young ladies. The girls enjoyed singing so much that they asked to have a period set aside each week to assemble and do a little harmonizing. Cant you just hear the future prima donnas endeavoring to hit a high note and the altos ' deep voices singing me-me-me-e-e? The girls attend the state contests each year, and a small group represents the organization in the ensemble work at district and state contests. This year ' s ensemble is composed of Thelma VonAlmen, Alta Jayne Clark. Betty Davies. Jean Everett. Phyllis Garrett. Irene Hohl. Edith Johnson, Jane Marshall. Donna Gene Miller. Jean Esther Morris. Barbara Neely. and Lucille Steen. The ensemble sings for many different programs outside of school as well as for the P.-T. A. and spring festival. Se veral soloists also represent the club at state and national contests and on various other programs. Those doing outstanding solo work this year arc Jean Esther Morris. Barbara Neely. Jane Marshall, and Edith Johnson, who received superior rating in the Bowling Green contest. Accompanist for both the club and the ensemble is Betty Neese. If you are in the vicinity of Room 261 any Wednesday afternoon the sixth period, you can hear these talented choristers putting their all in a rendition of the state contest numbers. As- sumpta est Maria or Tis Snowing , and their efforts were rewarde J by receiving a superior rating at Columbus contest. At the Christmas assembly the mixed chorus assisted the Lima Choral society in presenting Handel ' s Messiah. This is the first time that a high school group at Central has ever had that honor. The officers for the school year were president. Barbara Neely: vice president. Donna Gene Miller: secretary. Jane Marshall: treasurer. Zell Sandifer: and librarian. Betty Davies.

So below, be, c. e. e, low came the deep, monstrous, mellifluent voices of the Boys ' Glee club. The boys applauded themselves: then silence reigned. All eyes were directed toward Mark Evans, who lifted his magic baton. The baton moved, mouths opened, and a low. rhythmic, spiritual song floated out of the music room doors. The Boys ' Glee club was organized in 1914, and for twenty-five years has provided a rich, musical background for Central high boys. The club has sung for different programs and assemblies. The emphasis has been placed on creating a genuine interest in good music, and many fine selections have been chosen. Several of the favorite numbers are My Johnny Was A Shoemaker by Deems Taylor, The Cossack by Alexander Koshetz, and O Peaceful Night by Edward German. Although the club did not enter the local eisteddfod, Mark Evans entered them in the state contest. These future Lawrence Tibbetts have been practicing the sixth period on Tuesday since the beginning of the year. After the warbles, croons, scales, and low B flats are fitted together, Mr, Evans adds the final touches and the song is complete. Mr. Evans, the capable director of the Boys ' Glee club since its beginning, is also known as the director of the famous Lima Choral society. His untiring work and creed of perfection has made the glee club an outstanding organization in our school. The officers of the club are as follows: Joe Sells, president; John Timmerman, vice president: Ray Peterson, secretary and treasurer: Tom Leech and John Timmerman, librarians: and Barbara Neely, pianist, Dorothy Koehler ' 41 nineti -nine Row 1 — Betty Nee :;e, Delia Staples.

Such is a side glimpse, a rehearsal with Central ' s acme of music, the staid A Cappclla To really see such a rehearsal would probably be one of the most pitiful sights in your life. The earnest faces, trying vainly to cipher the black marks on the paper in front of them, the cramped students, draping themselves in various positions of uncomfortableness. and other ct ceteraall show just what the members must endure. Then the director enters and amid Ahs and Ohs of admiration takes his place and majestically raises his arms. Nothing happens: he raises them again and like a faulty nickelodeon the music starts; that is. it starts in a broad sense of the word, the parts staying together in an attempted unity except when one of the more ambitious souls goes off on a musical spree. The hands descend, a noisy moment ensues, the unfortunate is weeded out. and then the music starts again. Sweet, ethereal music issues; then it stops with a soaring chord. Mark Evans is well pleased with his A Cappella choir. When you sec the choir in action and when you hear the applause of the enthusiastic audience, you ' ll know that the work that went into making this dream a reality has not been in vain.

Thj turning of pages, the clearing of throats, and the incessant talking were resumed until the maestro tapped for attention. Again the selection was repeated, but the rehearsal was brought to a close by the ringing of the sixth period bell. Tired figures with parched throats silcntlv passed to the drinking fountain, realizing that water is a necessity of life. The junior chorus, which is composed of junior high students and freshmen, was organized in 1934. The future songsters are preparing for the senior A Cappella choir. The chorus i,s under the competent direction of Harold O. Clark, the little man who is always there, and meets in the music room every Monday and Wednesday the sixth period. From this group a special chorus is picked. These seventy-five Nelson Eddys and Jeanette MacDonalds are called the junior A Cappella choir. Eventually the senior A Cappella choir members are chosen from their ranks. Soon the squeaky hours of practice turn into music. This chorus appears before the public in the spring music festival and their fine talent is appreciated. The officers for both organizations are Natalie Gregg, president; Rudy Rakowsky. vice president; Betty Kemph, secretary: Nelda Mills, treasurer: Bob Bowman and Michael Davidian. librarians: and Zoetsa Fillips, pianist. ■ — Dorothy Koehlf.r ' 41 one hundred one Q Row 1 — Evelyn Hermann, Virginia Weadock.

Composed of thirty- six members, the orchestra participates in plays and festivals presented by the school. Under the skillful supervision of Harold O. Clark, assisted by Betty Neese at the piano, the organization has had a fine year. This young symphony gave its members a chance to see how capable they were at the maneuvering of a baton, and the result was valuable experience gained by those who participated. During the course of the year the orchestra, as well as other musical organizations, was honored by having a new practice room built in one side of the cafeteria. The room is also being used as a broadcasting studio for the programs presented by the school. The orchestra, as well as the other musical groups, is indeed giateful to the Board of Education for the fine practice room. For officers the members wisely selected Ray Peterson as president. Ralph Tinianow. vice president: Duane Miller, secretary-treasurer; and Frank Sims, librarian. Besides the regular rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday the first period, these various ensembles were formed: string quartette — Evelyn Hermann, Virginia Weadock, Paula Bersee, and Juanita Weber: woodwin trio — Evelyn Hermann, Jack Kelly, and Harriet Squire: wood- wind quintet — Ray Peterson, Miriam Clark, David Jenkins, Bill Helser. and Eleanor McJilton: clarinet trio — Bob Hartcr, Bill Keeling, and David Jenkins: mixed clarinet quartette — Ralph Tinianow, Ned Goldin Duane Miller, and Albert George Goldin. These ensembles not only provided enjoyable pastime for the participants but also added to the success of the senior orchestra.

Why, you ask. all this excitement ' This is the night that eight trembling members of the junior class will step hesitantly upon the stage to present their annual class play, Thru The Keyhole . This is a lively comedy center ing around Mary and Jim Teirney, played by Erma Rehn and Forrest Miller, and their lovable grandmother, Paula Bersee. Paul Newland, looking very distinguished as the butler, is discussing the household situation with Jean Esther Morris, who has overcome her stage fright and is Joan, the vivacious Erench maid. Enter the villians. Gloria Stark and William Parmenter as Geneveivc and Archie Van Camp, who arc conspiring to marry Jim and Mary for their money.

This peaceful scene is interrupted by Philip Holstine in the role of George Allen, who comes to claim Joan for a dance. Things become more involved when Jim takes Joan and William takes Mary to the Allen party to make the Van Camps jealous. The surprise climax comes when Geneveive and Archie are revealed as crooks, and everyone lives happily ever after, Mrs, Rhonemus, the skillful and competent director, produced this excellent play. Betty Myers and Edith Johnson as property managers and Virginia Weadock and Rye Hardy as business managers helped make this a one hundred percent production.

The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come presented in Central highs auditorium on May 17. 1940. As the play opens, we see Miss Lucy Buford (Dorothea Plaugher) and Mrs. Dean (Vir- ginia Lewis) talking in the Bufo ' d ' s lovely southern home. Uncle Tom. the old colored servant (Orrie Barr) enters and informs the ladies that Major Buford (Robert Gilmore) is re- turning from town with a mountain boy Chad (Quentin Maxfield). The ladies are horrified at the thought of the Major bringing home a mountaineer, but the Major seems to think that this young boy is some relation to him, so he plans to keep him and give him the name of Chadwick Buford. Chad is ridiculed by all the neighbors becau.se of his strange speech. Before long he falls in love with Margaret Dean (Jean Hilgendorf), and it is over her that he fights Richard Hunt (Jerry Clark), who is one of Margaret ' s suitors. With the exception of Jennie Overstrcet. a poetess. (Dorothy Becher) and Nellie Hunt (Marceil Rockey ) Chad is friendless and plans to return to the mountains. Several days later. Thanky (Shirley Mereness). the impish colored servant, announces that Melissy Turney (Evelyn Burkey) and Betsy Cherry (Mable Harshe) have come to inform the Bufords that Betsy ' s father (Ray Peterson) is dead. Before he died, he confessed that Chad was a real Buford. The Major sends Chad to college, and Chad in turn wins the hand of Margaret. Mary Mumaugh and Betty Creps were the property managers and Richard Norton was the business manager. We extend our sincercst congratulations. Mrs. Rhonemus, for another successful production.

Believe it or not. the twenty-third year of the Troubadourian club has just been com- pleted, and we feel that it was highly successful. Once a member, always a member! That ' s the motto of this junior and senior dramatic club. The original purpose was to study dramatics, but interest became so great that a one act play was presented at each meeting. This custom still continues. When a student finally attains membership in this club, he is one rung further up the ladder of his dramatic career. Because of the limited membership and stiff competition it is very diffi- cult to secure a place on the club ' s roll. The club was ably led this year by Joe Sells, president: Zell Sandifer, vice president; Robert Heil. secretary; and Virginia Lewis, treasurer. The club ' s activities throughout the year were under the supervision of Shirley Mereness, program chairman, and Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus. club sponsor. The Troubadours met on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the auditorium. Under student directors. Donna Gene Miller. Phyllis Lindcnbaum. Nadinc Corson. Dorothy Nellis. Shirley Mereness. Joe Sells. Marjorie Ripley, and Marjorie Botkins. one-act plays were presented. Each director chose his own play. cast, and assistant. The productions presented this year were Radio Skits . Teeth of a Gift Horse , Finer Dust . Student Days . Borrowing Trouble , The Professor Roars , Sauce for the Goslings , and Elmer Cleans Up . E. A. Haucnstcin ' s commercial art class provided attractive programs for each club play. For the enjoyment of the entire student body and the parents, this year ' s annual play was The Howling Dog , a mystery play in three acts, presented April 5, under the direction of Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus.

Just .i bit of back stage chatter before the first curtain of THE HOWLING DOG presented by the members of the Troubadourian club in Central ' s auditor- ium on April 5. 1 40. True to tradition THE HOWLING DOG was a blood-curdling mystery, throwing suspicion on every member of the cast until — no, I won ' t tell you yet. Let us first take a glimpse at the breath-taking plot. Dorothy Goodwin (Aha Jaync Clark) is to inherit her great uncle ' s estate, which is managed by Mrs, Daniels (Nadine Corson) and Mat (Quentin Maxficld.) The household which is composed of two colored servants, Andy and ' Venus (Dick Trump and Natalie Wood- ruff), and a maid (Shirley Mereness) is an exceedingly strange one. It seems at times that every member of the estate is plotting against Dorothy ' s life. Mrs. Halliday (Donna Gene Miller) and Betty-Jo, her young companion (Marilyn Claassen), give a bit of real comfort to Dorothy. Milton Rodgers, a ghost tamer (Gerald Clark), and his friend Tommy (Jim Ackerman), arrive at the estate in time to solve all these mysterious happenings, assisted by Mr, Steele, an attorney (Robert Heil), But what are the peculiar events that are frightening Dorothy, you ask? All right. I ' ll tell you. It seems that Mrs. Daniels has had an imbecile son hidden in the attic for many years. One day he escapes and seeing the beautiful Dorothy Goodwin, falls in love with her. His monstrous appearance frightens the dog and causes him to howl unmercifully. This in turn terrifies the household. The business manager and property managers were Paula Bersce. Jean Graf, and Ann Blat- tenberg. respectively. Our sincerest thanks to Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus for another evening of thrilling enjoyment.

One fine day in October after the hustle and bustle of tryouts were over, the freshmen and sophomores who make up the Masqueraders ' club gathered in the auditorium to begin another successful year of dramatic endeavor. At their first meeting they selected the following officers: Joanne Jones, president: Dick Zimmerman, vice president: Laura Mae Gnagi. secretary; and Jewel Stalter. treasurer. Miss Elizabeth Hill. English teacher at Central, is this year ' s capable leader of the group. She was very helpful in formulating the club program. No program chairman was cho.sen this year but Miss Hill. Joanne Jones, and Laura Mae Gnagi selected members of the club to direct the one act plavs which were presented so success- fully. Meetings are held bi-monthly at which time one-act plays are given by the future Clark Gables and Vivien Leighs of the cinema. Several of the most entertaining plays presented dur- ing the year were Thanks Awfully . Jewelled Hand , Coiscs and the Villain Is Foiled . Powers of Darkness , and Swept off Her Feet . At the Christmas meeting a party was held at which time the play Pop Reads a Christ- mas Carol was presented. A committee composed of Harry Foek ler. Joanne Jones. Doris Levy, Jean Heinz. Doyle Smith. Mary Davis, and Natalie Gregg selected an annual play which would best display the talents of the members and still be entertaining. After much deliberation, they selected a comedy entitled June Mad , which was presented February 16, 1940. Wc always arc happy. We never are blue. We think were actors. How about you?

Here is the Masqueraders ' recipe for a delightful evening ' s entertainment. Mix well the following ingredients; One tomboyish girl of fifteen. Penny Wood, who wouldn ' t walk across the street for any boy in the world but who changes her mind when she meets Roger and falls madly in love with him only to be disillusioned when she discovers he uses the same line on every Chuck Harris, a loose jointed bov. who thinks ol nothing but gliders until he realizes he has another interest. Penny Wood: Mrs. Wood, a loving mother who understands that every girl sometime imagines she loves an older man : Dr. Wood, who has given up all hope for the huure of this younger generation of jit- terbugs: Mervyn. Mrs. Wood ' s young brother, who is in love with Julie but has several bad mo- ments when his college chum who agrees to tell him how to handle her go s beyond terms of the business agreement: Roger Van Fleck, the Don Juan type, smiwth and clever, who makes the old girls feel young and the young girls feel old : Julie Harris, also very pretty, who is fascinated at first by Roger, but discovers Mervyn is her man: EfSe. the ever complaining cook, who really worships the Wood family: Elmer, the clumsy handy man. who is in love with Efiie and also loyal to the Woods: Milly Lou, the adolescent admirer of Mervyn. The Wentworths. friends of Julie and Mervyn. Sprinkle with humor, and the result is June Mad. First served in excellent manner on February 16. 1940. and a good time was had by all. The cast included Natalie Gregg. Dick Zimmerman. June Webb, Doyle Smith. Don Richie. Jack Newland. Jewel Stalter. Jessie Corson. Dean Wiseley. Joanne Jones. Barbara Bow- man, and Rudy Rakowsky. Miss Hill ' s leadership and ability as a director is very evident in the result of this play. Joanne Hinkle and Frances Ousley as property managers and Bill Reid as business manager were also responsible for the success of June Mad.

Hitched to the stars are the dr.imatic ambitions of the Eighth Grade Thespians. Never before has keener interest been shown at a rehearsal or a meeting. Each member attempts to do his best in the chib play so by the time be is in senior high school he will be chosen for a major production. The club has as their capable supervisor, Miss Lillian Lippincott. Each student director chooses his own cast. play, and assistants. The leaders for this year were Miriam Clark. Jean- nctte Elliott, Bill Keeling. Kathleen Niemeyer. Shirley Shrider. Donna Krouse. Joyce Cotner. .loan Lockhead. Helen Weaver, and Eloise Lewis.

The other officers chosen by the Thespian members are Lois Holstine. vice president; Jeanne McDonald, secretary: David Hostetler. treasurer: and Mary Jane Marquis, program chairman. Miss Ideita Lul . their com- petent advisor, takes charge of all the plays that are presented. I wonder what play they arc going to give tonight? What? Oh, The Penitent Prig . The program chairman just told us that the play is woven about the approaching football game, a fire, the heroism of Roly. the idol of the school, and Judy, whom they find is not a prig after all. It sounds very interesting and exciting, doesn ' t it? Lve been told that several of the other plays that have been presented this year are That Awful Letter , The Unexpected Gust, and How Bobby Put It Over . They sound very interesting also. The enrollment of the original Thespian club become so large that last year the club was divided into the Seventh and Eight Grade Thespian clubs. The purpose of the Seventh Grade Thespians is to develop acting ability and to create interest in junior high dramatics. Most of these members will probably become members of the Masqucraders or Troubadourian club when they enter senior high school. Their meetings are held the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Is the play over all ready? There goes the bell. I hope that you have enjoyed attending this important club with me. So long! W.

Perhaps you find yourself baffled, but any of the ambitious members of the newly founded Spelling club can easily spell this word, or harder ones, without hesitating a second. Under the watchful and efficient direction of Miss Frances Overman, the club has tackled and conquered every word in .1 recently published book. Vocabu- lary Building Speller. The brilliant leadership of the following officers has been an inspiration to their fellow spelling enthusiasts: Jane Rousculp. president: Reva Lehman, who because she graduated was replaced at the half year by Henrv Mayerson as vice president: Ellen Brannock. secretary; Dorothy Gisler. treasurer: Dorothy Miller, press representative: Ralph McClain. sergeant-at- arms: and Irene De Vita, program chairman. The underclassmen who compose the major portion of the clubs membership sBiould now. after a year of instruction .ind practice, prove stiff competition for anyone who wishes to challenge them. The purpose of the club is not to produce spelling wizards this year but to create an interest in spelling so that students will be successful in future contests. Remaining loyal to their home town and state, the club at the first meeting was divided into two permanent teams, the Buckeyes and the Lima Beans. Subsequent meetings have re- sulted in ardent combats between these aspiring teams. Each meeting has furnished great ex- citement and enjoyment. Although Kay Kyser has caused a great deal of merriment with his streamlined way to Sing and Spell , the Spelling club would probably do something more sensational if they were given the chance. The hope of all is that the club will retain its enthusiasm and accuracy. If they do. there is but one thing waiting for them, and that is — success.

Dreaming of far off enchanting lands where one can hear the clap of Dutch shoes, see many quaint peasant ways, and view the beautiful scenery of a new background is probably the main reason for the ambition of many Centralites to contact by letter the people of other countries. As a result not all students in Central are ignorant of the practices and habits of the children of foreign lands. The Foreign Correspondence club has gone a long way towards giving its members an idea of how the people, of what wc would call strange lands, live. The club has presented an interesting group of programs under the capable leadership of the following duly elected officers: Arlene Davis, president: Ruth Alice Miller, vice president: Martha Howard, secretary: Madilyn Johnson, treasurer: Dorothy Becher. program chairman. Included among the schedule of meetings which occurred every second and fourth weeks of the school year were various speakers whose subjects included travel books and foreign habits of those nations in which the club is most interested. Miss Elizabeth Ferguson, well known to all of us. gave a most educational and unique talk as she told how to become acquainted with strange lands through books. Club members, by personal contact through letters, gained a knowledge of what our foreign neighbors do in their leisure time and what they plan in the way of entertainment. Under the able supervision of Miss Gertrude Marshall the club spent a year packed full of educational activities. We wish them every success in future years.

Before they knew it, the room was overflowing with pupils eager to learn more about cameras, lenses, films, etc. In fact, there were so many ardent pupils wanting to join the club that it had to be divided into two different groups, each group meeting alternately every other week. No wonder so many students joined the club. Here is a field where one can not only find complete diversion and pleasing pastime but also acquire a sense of beauty and an appreciation of art. Here the students learn not only to develop and print pictures but also to understand the mechanics of the camera, chemical reactions of th e negative, the fixation process, and the lighting technique. The purpose of this club is to teach the amateurs how to make better pictures. Special em- phasis is given to the technical parts of making pictures, such as, grouping, background, position, and composition. This information is not only educational but also very interesting. The mem- bers find the experiments are very helpful to their work. The first and third week officers were Jack Redding, president: Jim Caton, vice president: Art Hedges, treasurer: and Marceil Rockey. secretary. The second and fourth week officers were Phil Wchingcr, president: Dave Jenkins, vice president: and Gerald Coon, treasurer and secretary. The Camera club is very fortunate in having as advisor the very able E. L, Huber. Through his guidance the amateurs arc developing into experts.

By the time a student enters the portals of Central, he begins to realize that he is coming nearer to the time when he will walk alone in the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Be- cause of this newly acquired realization, Central is endowed with a Commercial club, whose pur- pose is to bring a knowledge of the commercial world to those who will be the business men and women of tomorrow. Every first and third Wednesday of the month in Room 302, the members meet for instruction under the supervision of C. R. De Long, ably assisted by Miss Wilma Rickenbacher, and Miss Ethel Stiles. Not only the club but the whole commercial de- partment owes a great deal of gratitude to these efficient instructors. Since the officers of an organization must be those of intelligence and honor, the club members feel that they have chosen the proper students to lead them through the year. These capable individuals are Louise La FoUett. president: Audrey Carnes, vice president: Mildred Bible, secretary: Evelyn Adams, treasurer: Mary Ellen Cunningham, press correspondent: Mary Ver- million, program chairman: Geraldine Huber. sergeant-at-arms. The members, knowing that each program contains a variety of instruction .ind entertain- ment, eagerly anticipate all the meetings. Although the advice contributed by numerous speak- ers is deeply appreciated and put into practice, the tours through the various places of business and industry, such as the Westinghouse and the Frederick Paper and Twine, are received with the greatest satisfaction, for it is here that photographs and word pictures in the text books are brought to life. An imaginary trip into an active office is often realistically portrayed. Could any club offer more. ' The answer is definitely no . So here ' s a toast to one of the most active and worthwhile clubs in Central high. Ann Weis ' 4 1 one hundred fifteen Row 1 — Ut ' ttie Collins, Shirley Mereness. Sharlene Nesbitt.

Great enthusiasm and the desire to study French outside of class on the part of the students who arc taking French brought about the demand for the French club. Forty-five of these students were charter members of the club this year. Each student posted his ballot and the following officers were chosen for the school year: Virginia Lewis, president; Shirley Mereness. secretary: Donna Gene Miller, treasurer: and Mar- jorie Botkin. program chairman. The chief purpose of the club, which meets every second and fourth Wednesday in Room 202, is to promote an interest in the habits and customs of the boys and girls in France. To prove they really can do it. some Ccntralit:s in the club have started writing to boys and girls in France — in French ! ! During the club period throughout the year, some typical programs included a study of the Marseillaise. the province of Brittany, the city of Paris, and the chateaux of the Loire: the remaining meetings were spent in playing games, singing popular .songs in French, and playing Bingo by calling the numbers in French. At Christmas time, a program on Christm.is customs in France was presented. The students on the program committee under the direction of Marjorie Botkin are Paula Bersee. Joan Evans. Betty Floyd, and Shirley Mereness. Through their diligent work and skill, the members were entertained as well as informed at each meeting. Miss Hazel Mcssimore. who has traveled and studied in France, is the faculty sponsor of the group. With her help and advice and the hard work of the students the club had a very successful first year. Doris Coi.h ' 41 inn hunilred sixteen H.,w I — t.or.inn Mais.h. Howard Kt-ller. Jai-k Kiir 1.

As the List senator files out of Room 01 ,it the close of the Senate ' s final meeting of the year, this body completes its twenty-fourth year without feminine influence, despite leap year. Although there is no law forbidding females to become senators, it has been a precedent of the club, formerly known as the Wranglers and founded in 1916. not to admit them. F-or the first term the officers were Senator Earl Moreo. president; Senator Robert Heff- ncr. vice president; Senator Frank Sims, secretary; Senator Lyle Cunningham, treasurer; and Senator Tom Sorgcn. .scrgeant-at-arms. The second term officers were Senator Robert Heffncr. president; Senator Frank Sims, vice president; Senator Richard Norton, secretary; Senator War- ren Hodosko. treasurer; and Senator Ed Meeks. scrgeant-at-arms. During the summer through the efforts of H. W. Leach and President Moreo. several changes were made. One of these is a flexible calendar of topics; another, although not directly connected with the Senate, is the organization of a House of Representatives on the junior high side. Consisting of twenty-nine members, the Senate discuss such topics as The railroads should be owned and operated by the government . All transcontinental highways should be widened to at least four lanes . All motor vehicles ten vears old and older should be prohibited from public roads , and The national debt limit should be increased to fifty billion dollars . Through their endless arguing the Senate has succeeded in its purpos, ' , mainly, to teach its members the principles of debating and parliamentary law in an interesting form. Under the aid and able supervision of Senator William Taylor, their advisor, the Senate, modeled after the United States Senate, strives to maintain its high ideals and standards.

If you are one who believes that modern boys are helpless and useless around the house, try to explain the bachelors, who have organized to learn to cook for themselves in case they do not secure a member of the fairer sex to prepare proper meals. These young men, not experts, arc very much interested in culinary art and defy anyone to prove that cooking is other than an art. Boys have always had a secret desire to be able to cook and to point with pride to their achievements. Most all are able to prepare enough eatable food on camping trips but are not able to keep a kitchen under control while cooking or baking a delicate dish. The boys who have learned to produce appetizing dishes are elated and will proudly exhibit their masterpieces for all to see and taste. The Bachelors ' club was organized last year by petition. A few of the boys wanted to take home economics which brought to light the true earnestness of boys in wanting to learn to cook. The boys not only had a good time while cooking and baking but gained much valuable knowledge. The boys made fudge, drop cookies, apple, cherry, and berry pies: baked cakes: and tried any odd dish they desired. The chosen leaders of the chefs are Myron Winegardner, president: Jack Newland, vice president: Ralph Meier, secretary: and John Alsteatter. treasurer. Miss Phyllis Mendenhall deserves much credit in making this club group an interesting one and their dishes appetizing successes. Of all the dishes tried, not one was a complete failure: as yet there has been no rush to the drug store for Alka-Seltzer.

Realizing this, the faculty acted: and now we have the Fine Arts club, one of the newest children in Central ' s family of clubs. At the second meeting the following officers were selected: Frances Ridenour, president: Pat Snyder, vice president: Juno Helmer, secretary: Guy Roberts, treasurer: Bob Huffer, pub- licity representative: and Juanita Rogers, program chairman. These students not only showed skill in art but also filled their positions like experienced executives. On the second and fourth Wednesday of each month Miss Mary Kirk, the club ' s capable supervisor, carefully laid out plans for the members to follow in order to enjoy to the fullest the use of art and the technique of drawing. The chief project of the club is to make the rooms and halls of Central, starting with the art room, more beautiful and interesting. About the middle of the year, Frances Ridenour, the president, joined the National Art Society, and through this membership the club received many famous reproductions and pencil drawings which they exhibited in the spring. Early in the year the young artists trouped along the well-known trail to the public library where they viewed ancient illuminated manuscripts. The Lima Historical society, playing host to the club, showed the members many fascinating Chinese masterpieces. Very often these prospective artisans can be found sitting in Room 50 dreaming of the days when they will be the Rembrandts, the Michelangelos, and the Van Dykes of tomorrow. They find it extremely difficult to realize that they are only insignificant mortals swept away with imagination. Don ' t let this deceive you: the club does have real talent among their indus- trious members and some day their dreams may come true. Ann Weis ' 41 one hundred nineteen Row 1 — Ellen Lagos.

The Library club in Central high school was organized in 1 M 1 . Each club period twenty-two girls meet in the library to learn the principles of this work. Miss Drusilla Rcilly, who is the school librarian, is the faculty sponsor of the group. The purpose of the club, which meets every first and third Wednesday, is to give members practical training in high school library work. For their efforts one- fourth credit is given to those in the club who successfully complete one year of library work. The student librarians who receive credit for library training must have had experience in the charging and the discharging of books and in shelving and arranging them. Each member must have a thorough knowledge of the Dewey decimal system, know how to use the card catalog, and assist others in using it. The daily routine consists of collecting library permits, reporting absences to study halls, recording fines, charging and discharging books, making out fines and overdue notices, examining books for repairs, keeping magazines in order, and making book covers and markers. Each assistant is required to study the pamphlet How To Use The Library and pass a test on it. The number of assistants is limited to twenty-five. The Library club had charge of Boo k Week in November at which time many new books and attractive posters made from book jackets were displayed on small tables in the library. Two or three social meetings are held during the year. At these meetings members enjoy library games and literary guessing contests. The following officers were elected for the school year: Jean Hilgendorf. president: Grace Dunning, vice president; and Mary Scheufler, secretary and Treasurer.

The Vocal club meets in the new sound proof broadcasting room every Wednesday. The members go over some tricky scales which at first seem impossible, and .it one time or another each sings a solo after which criticism is given as to voice and posture. The songsters discuss the merits of swing versus classical music because some of the mem- bers are partial to the more modern style of music while others prefer the classical trend. Although this is a young member of the club group, it is not in the least insignificant. Anyone interested in music may join this club and he will leave it a wiser person. Some club period why not go to the broadcasting room, sink into a seat, and sec and hear what goes on at one of the meetings of future stars ' Perhaps you will hear some old hauntingly familiar melodies. The purpose of this organization is to train and improve the voice for further studv or personal enjoyment; also this gives the enthusiast a chance to perform before an audience. The chosen officers are Jane Marshall, president: Ray Peterson, vice president; and .Shirley Kcvc. secretary and treasurer. The musical supervisor is Mark Evans, who has the hopefuls interest at heart. Audrey Carnh.s ' 41 one hundred ticnely-one Row 1 — Earl Fiysintrer, Bob McCIuer. Ted Short, Jay Hall.

This body, composed of thirty active members, seventeen of whom arc charter members, has had during this year a varied pro- gram. Although it is one of Central ' s youngest clubs, being founded in 1938 under R. E. Dot- son ' s supervision, the boys have made a success of it by hard work and cooperation. The first term officers were James Rex, president; Dana Aukerman, vice president; Harold Fisher, secretary and treasurer; and Don Frail, sergeant-at-arms. After the midyear elections the following members held office: Dana Aukerman, president; Jack Earl, vice president; Bob Dunning, secretary and treasurer: and Howard Miller, sergeant-at-arms. The aims upon which this body was founded are as follows: first, to insure a real school spirit by creating a closer fellowship: second, to bring about a real understanding of the funda- mental rules of athletics and physical education; and third, to co-operate with the school in physical education and the athletic program. Through the splendid co-operation of the club and Ronald Dotson. their supervisor, the fine entertainment between halves of the varsity basketball games has been made possible. Their contributions at these games were the wrestling match between Wilbur Laibe and Bob Sims, the basketball game between six girls of the G. A. A. and six members of the Dragon ' s A. C played according to girls rules and with the boys wearing boxing gloves, a floor hockey contest, and a fine tumbling and gymnastic exhibition.

The hum and buzzing of the saws, the whirring of the lathes, the sounds of many ham- mers, and the activity of the workers themselves accurately describe the scene going on in Room 15 1. As soon as the club period begins, the boys and girls start their projects. Since the girls as well as the boys in the eighth grade liked industrial arts as a subject, the Industrial Arts club was organized so both boys and girls could work outside of class. The chief purpose of the club which meets every week is to further interest in industrial arts and to give the girls a chance to show their ability. Members may choose any project they wish, and sometimes the boys finish their projects started in class. In proof of their artistic skill there are lamps, tables, tic racks, corner shelves, tables, book ends, footstools, and bicycle trailers on display in the industrial arts room. This group was first organized in 1922 under the name of the Radio club. Since then it has been called in turn the Boat club, the Airplane club, and the Coach club. In 1932 it was renamed the Industrial Arts club, and was granted a charter by the Student council in 1934. The following officers were chosen unanimously; Jack Frost, president: Harold Stump, vice president: Janet Percy, secretary: and Jim Coolahan, treasurer. Under the careful supervision of Lewis B, Miller, the very ready and very capable faculty advisor, the club turned out many useful household articles, Mr, Miller deserves much of the credit for making the club a success.

In spite of the fact that in this d.iy and age parents of freshmen and sophomore girls firmly declare that their child ' s main interest in life is that of the opposite sex. the daughters will argue just as successfully that they have many interests, the main one being that of the Blue Triangle club, a section of the Girl Reserves. The sophomore class selected as its officers Patricia Cochran, president: Marcine Percy, vice president and secretary: Betty Reese, treasurer: and Joanne Jones, program chairman. After much debate over what problems of the modern age could be successfully discussed at their meetings, they turned the table on father and mother and decided on Parents are My Biggest Problem. This topic was carried on by skits en.icted by members of the club and talks given by parents and students. With Nelda Mills as president. Evelyn Schurr as vice president and secretary. Betty Jo Shutt as treasurer, and Betty Paxton as program chairman, the freshmen class Blue Triangle club spent a year filled with activities including recreational periods at the Y. M. C. A. fol- lowed by plunges, a visit to a city council meeting, and various speakers and discussions. At their Christmas meeting they presented, as a special holiday treat, a talk by Mrs. Gladys Romaker. With the help of Miss Mary Belle linnell and Miss Lyda Buchanan, advisors of the freshmen and sophomore clubs respectively, the Girl Reserves have gone a long way toward making the life of the modern girl clean, wholesome, and exciting.

The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the high standards of Christian character. The outstanding program of the year was the joint meeting of the South and Central Hi-Y clubs before the Turkey Day combat. The coaches of both South and Central expressed their opinions of the game and told of some of their experiences in football. Mr. Charles Davis, principal at South, and Mr. H. W. Leach, principal at Central, gave short addresses. Other interesting and valuable speakers throughout the year were James Cooper, assistant pastor of Trinity church, who led a very interesting discussion on character: Howard Donahoe of WLOK. who told of his experiences as a radio broadcaster and explained the operations of the local broadcasting station: and Rex Scttlemire. basketball coach of Central, who spoke on athletics and why some schools had star basketball and football teams. The able advisors of the club were W. Donald Larrick of Central and Walter Monbeck. boys ' secretary of the Lima Y. M. C. A. Recreation offered by the Hi-Y was ping-pong, swimming, group singing, and round table discussion. Other activities presented for the enjoyment of the boys were The Winter Whirl. ' a midyear dance, and other parties. The officers for the year were Bob Brentlingcr. president: Tom Evans, vice president: Tom Stump, secretary: Kenneth Roethlisberger, treasurer. May the Hi-Y boys live up to their motto not only in school but also on the road of life. Jim Roeder ' 4I one hundred ticenly-six Row 1 — Bill Hay. Warrt-n Roush. Bill Roebuck. Jack Williams.

Striving To Be Better How about a game of ping-pong? . . Is John here yet? . . . Do we get to swim after the meeting? . . . I ' m looking forward to the senior Hi-Y . . . Let ' s go down and bowl after the me«ting ... I think I ' ll get one of those short haircuts . . . Have you paid your dues yet? . , . Do we have a round table discussion next week? If one would go to Y. M. C. A. on Tuesday evening about seven-thirty he would see a group of fine looking, energetic boys engaged in ping-pong, checkers or discussion. Upon inquiry he would find they were members of junior Hi-Y. chosen from the freshmen and sophomore classes. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the organization. Throughout the year the club presents well planned programs which provide valuable and practical knowledge. James Cooper, assistant pastor of Trinity church, gave a talk on Boys ' Relation to Religion and afterwards led an interesting discussion: Mr, Scheuerman. assistant principal of Central, chose as his topic Which is most important scholastic standing or athletics . There was a joint meeting of the South and Central clubs before the Turkey Day game, during which the coaches. Mr. Charles Davis, principal of South. Mr. Charles Gaskins. assistant principal of South. Mr. H, W. Leach, principal of Central, and Mr. Howard Scheuer- man assistant principal of Central, gave short talks about the coming game. For physical recreation the boys held swimming meets, ping-pong games, checker tournaments, and other games in the gym. The officers for the past year were John Timmerman. president: Warren Roush. vice president: Bill Hay. secretary: Bill Geiser, treasurer. The sincere advisors were Walter Monbeck, boys ' secretary at the Y. and George Lutman of Central. When the boys become members of the senior Hi-Y. may they continue their good work and uphold the fine motto of the club. Jim Roedkr ' 41 one hundred ticenty -seven Row 1 — John Hauenstein.

As president, he can ' t be beat . . .Boy . . . will we beat Ihem in basketball . . . Just wait till we get on that floor . . . Don ' t forget the next meeting ... Be quiet, you rowdie! . . . Listen to Mr. I ' Irick . . . Who ' s captain of your team? . . . Gee ... I want to play with, not against you. These younger boys are not to be slopped. The oldei boys may be bigger and better able to play basketball, football, and baseball but. as far as organizations are concerned, the junior high Hi-Y is as capable as any other. Modeling their club as nearly as possible after that of their older brothers, the junior high Hi-Y members are desirous of living a life which will entitle them to enter the organiza- tion of the junior Hi-Y and finally the senior Hi-Y. Entering Room 258. the home of the organization, during the regular club period, the first and third Wednesday of each month, you will be pleasantly surprised at the well conducted meeting under the supervision of the following officers: Tom Roberts, president: Tom Fritz and Junior Orchard, vice presidents: Jack Lytle. secretary: Bill Welder, treasurer: and Tom Roberts, program chairman. Centering their program topics on character development, the club has either open dis- cussion led by E. C. Ulrick. the advisor, or lectures directed by athletic department men. As the boys in this group are primarily interested in athletics, they make the swimming pool and gym floor at the Y. M. C. A. the centers of activity. If the junior high Hi-Y continues to present such fine educational talks and good times. the older clubs will not have to worry about membership.
