MCL EAN REED, Superintendent l l l i It is always a privilege to accept the invitation of the Senior Class oiicials to write a page for the MIRROR. It would seem to me that the greatest challenge for the 1941 graduate is to be found in the Preamble of the Constitution- to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. Ewery high school graduate must accept that challenge with an earnest resolve to make every sacrifice and bend every effort to realize the Great American Dream-a good life for everybody because our way of living in a democracy requires a serious concern for not only our family but all thme families that make up our community. state, and nation. A Our philosophy of life must necessarily include the altruisms of the Master Teacher who believed no one unimportant. Therefore, We must resolve to 'live as He, who Was willing to serve at all times to the best of His ability His fellowmen, lived. It is my sincere wish that every Lima graduate will belong to that group of thinkers who bel'e h ' ' 1 ve t at every effort and sacrifice should be continually made to make a better community, state, and nation, and will not join or atliliate with that group who believe that nothing' can be done in the church, the school, the home, and the community to change the course of events. Ma ou b l' ' h ' y y e ieve in urnan progress and so live each day that you can say When that day is done, I am glad that I have made some contribution to the common defense, common Welfare, and th bl ' ' ' ' e essmgs of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. ' J. MCLEAN REED Board of Education A. M. GANTZ C. H. POOL Clerk of the Board DR. A. N. WISELEY W. C. DERBYSHIRE President of the Board C. P. NEISWANDER fer! MR. H. W. LEACI-I MR. HOWARD SCI-IEUERMAN TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANNUAL MIRROR AND ALL CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: I I Our country is now engrossed with the great problems of defense, national unity and the preservation of democratic ideals. Are these problems only for the adult mind, government oiii- ' ' ' ' ' ' h h ld ome cials and political leaders? Or are they problems with which the high school yout s ou c . . . - Y H to grips? There is no question but that these problems involve a long range planning as vve as an immediate one. Our government oflicials have the responsibility of the immediate, but our youth will have to meet the problems in the future. There is only one way that you can effectively meet these problems and that is by learning now, practicing here, in the school, in the only organization that can be said to be exclusively set up for you, the ways of democracy. The student council of Central is giving more attention to the democratic ideals. It is en- couraging citizens of this school to think through their own problems in the spirit of coopera tion and unity. It is trying to get them to accept the responsibility of more self-control, self discipline and leadership for the benefit of the school as a whole. Its recent assembly for promo- ' ' ' 'd l h' h nust er tion of student-conducted study halls is an example of the democratic 1 ea w ic we 1 p - petuate. In no other way can democracy withstand the gnawings of the-termites within andlthe assaults of the totalitarians from without. If you want to be prepared for these responsibilities now is the time to learn. Sincerely yours. H. VJ. LEACH, Principal Heads of Departments T 1 H C Dillon, Edith Simps011 C. R. DeLong, H, C.

' Hfteen ,, l Sembr Class fiflsfory School days, school days, dear old golden rule days. Now that it's all over we realize that they were dear old days. To some of us the Alma Mater has been just a song and the ight song something to sing after touchdowns: but now, when we hear those beautiful strains, we will appreciate them more. They will bring back fond memories of the past, memories of victories. memories of defeats, memories of all the things that only high school life can embed in one. Whether these memories be pleasant or sad, they are an important part in that great life book of experience. Let's start reminiscing. It seems like yesterday that we came marching from junior high side, filled to over- flowing with ambitions, and trying to prove our worth to ourselves and to the upperclassvmen. The reception wasn't exactly as we had anticipated, but we were off to a flying start by electing as officers, Walter Renz, president: Dick Hill, vice presidentg Edith Johnson, secretary: and Evangel Bloomquist, treasurer. This year we were honored by having two repre- sentatives on the Student Council instead of one. They were Alta Jayne Clark and Robert Heil. Marilyn Claas- sen, Paul Newland, and Phil Holstine were freshmen who were fortunate eough to secure parts in the Mas- querader's annual play, 'Going On Seventeen. The first hundred years are the hardest, but to us it was the first year. We were no longer lowly freshmen Ceven if we were freshl, and we started out with a 'ibang by electing Don Ammon, president: Betty My- ers, vice president: Dorthea Miller, secretary, Dick Hill, treasurer. Well, well, imagine that? This year we had four on the Student Council. They were Robert Heil, Alta Jayne Clark, Robert Parmenter, and Walter Renz. The sophomores were well represented in the Mas- querader's play China Boy by the following: Rob- ert Heil, Natalie Woodruff, Marilyn Claassen, Paul Newland, Gloria Stark, Phil Holstine, Wavellene Beel- er, Shirley Haines, Paul Vittur, Marjorie Else, and Paula Bersee. Our classmates were now beginning to participate in many more of the numerous activities offered at Central. Now that we had more or less settled down to the hustle and bustle of senior high side, we suddenly awoke one September morn and discovered to our aston- ishment that we were juniors and UPPERCLASS- MEN. Thereupon mastering the situation, we chose with equal dignity, Walter Renz, president: Dick Hill, vice president, Rye Hardy, secretaryg William Noble, treasurer. The Council representatives were Alta Jayne Clark, Don Ammon, Betty Myers, Paul Newland, Rob- ert Heil, and Howard Keller. Ouch! NVho stuck me in the eye? Well, you shouldn't look Through the Keyhole. Remember? Of course you do, how could you forget Jean Esther Morris, Paul Newland, Paula Bersee, Forrest Miller, Bill Parmenter, Phil Holstine, Gloria Stark, Erma Rehn, Betty Myers, Edith Johnson, Alta Jayne Clark, Rye Hardy and Virginia Weadock in the junior class play Through the Keyhole. Not to be outdone by their fellow classmates, the following juniors turned in a very ine performance in the Troubadourian play, The Howling Dog : Marilyn Claassen, Jim Acker- man, Natalie Woodruff, Dick Trump, Robert Heil and Alta Jayne Clark. And therefore, my friends, I believe that I have provided sufficient proof to show that the Govern- ment should own and operate the railroads. Thank you. ' Mn Chairman, honorable judges, opponents and SIXFEQVI friends, my esteemed opponent seems to have the impression ------ and so it goes, nghting a battle of words and wit. Many long hours are spent by the debaters of Central, but the results more than justify their labor. Supplied with an inexhaustible knowledge concerning railroads, these juniors talked their way onto the varsity debate squad: Jean Esther Morris, Frederick Rakestraw, Dale Poling, Bob Huffer, Elaine Wening, Bill Parmenter, and Marilyn Claassen. Vv'e didn't suddenly wake up seniors. We weren't surprised. We had worked three years for that privilege. Many times we had cast an envious eye upon 307 and fairly bubbled over with anticipation. Finally we made the grade and answered proudly, SENIORS, when asked what grade were were in. Many times during our high school life we had thought, Oh Boy! To be a senior and then out of school. But when those last days came dangerously close, there were very few of us who didn't feel a pang of regret. Well, this was our last year, and it was up to us to make it the most successful. And I think we did fairly well in fulfilling that requirement. Our oficers and Student Council members were duly elected, and the results were Paul Tarbutton, president: Danny Easton, vice president: Rye Hardy, secretary: Dick Hill, treasurer: and Student Council members, Alta Jayne Clark, Paul Newland, Howard Keller, John Neely, Bob Baker, Don Ammon, and Edith Johnson. Howard Keller was chosen president of the Stu- dent Council. Those boys who played basketball on the junior high and freshman squads were now on the varsity and reserve squads in their junior year and doing a fine job. Following it up in their senior year they turned in the To add more laurels to their already fine record, they won th r e e straight tournament games at the Kenton district meet to cop the district cham- pionship in the finals from South, our admirable oppo- nent. From there we traveled to Columbus only to lose to Martins Ferry by one point. Martins Ferry, after elim- inating the tough Central c o m b i n e, continued with comparable ease to win the state championship. D i c lk Hill received honorable men- tion on the all-state team for his fine defensive playing, while Les D2Vine, Paul Tar- best basketball record since 1930-31 by winning! 12 and losing 4. button, Darrell Schlosser, and Charles Ross each played a most important part in this, our most successful basketball season. Coach Settlemire, a grand fellow and a wonderful coach, doesn't have to have his praises sung: his actions and results speak for them- selves. Whether we have a championship team in the future or not, we'll always be proud of them and the coach, and be behind them one hundred per-cent. Coach Jone's fine football team also received its share of honors by winning six and losing three, and climaxing an already successful season with a decisive victory over South. The boys who received their letters were Paul Tarbutton, Bob Boyd, Ed Penn, Ernest Riegle, Les DeVine, Darrell Schlosser, Jack Blose, and Albert Zulliger. Starting from scratch, our debating classmates again tackled a different question: Resolved: that the power of the Federal Government should be increased. With their usual thoroughness they established their arguments and presented them in such a convincing style that they won the District and State Debating Championship. We also became charter members in the National Forensic League of Ohio, which is quite an honor in itself. Walk into Mr. Boylan's room or the library any evening after school and you would very likely find some of the following working very diligently: Frederick Rakestraw, Bill Parmenter, Marilyn Claassen, Bob Thomas, Dale Poling, Don Amemon, Connie Richardson and Mr. Boylan, a fine coach, assisting and encouraging them through a very successful season. We have always been proud of our musical organizations, which have improved year by year under the direction of Mr. Clark, Mr. Tempel, and our deceased friend, Mr. Evans. This year, the first time in many years, a comic opera Sweethearts, was produced by Mr. Tempel. Our own Metropolitan Opera star, Jean Esther Morris, displayed great singing and acting ability, portraying Sylvia, the leading lady. She was supported by a ine cast. Danny Easton, Natalie Woodruff, and Gene Bryan were the seniors who also played an important part. You have all heard Central High's fine orchestra and band under the direction of Harold O. Clark. You have seen Bob Zumbrun, the drum major, lead the band triumphantly down the field. But it isn't all glamour. Many long hours of practice must be put in by these future musicians. Proof of their success may be seen by the amazing number of ensemble groups and soloists found in the organizations. The choralogue by W. C. Olds and directed by William G. Tempel is ample proof of the superiority of the A Cappella Choir. In addition to several other performances, the choralogue was sung over a nation wide hookup with Alta Jayne Clark acting as narrator. Most of us have enjoyed the bi-monthly publication of the Mirror. The most important factor of its success was the never tiring work of Edith Johson, editor, Paula Bersee, associate editor, Bob Parmenter, sports editor, Jim Ackerman, Bob Baker, Bryanu Bowers, Jim Caton, Alta Jayne Clark, Shirley Haines, Jean Esther Morris, Dorothy Lutz, Mary Watson, Natalie Vloodruff, and Shirley Keve. The book that you are reading now took many months of hard work. Rye Hardy, Paul Newland, Betty Floyd, Jean Bessire, Robert Heil, Doris Cole, Arnold Greenberg, Audrey Carnes, Marilyn Claassen, Jo Ann Bogart, Wavellene Beeler, Guy Roberts, Jean Van Horn, Elaine Wen- ing, Jim Roeder, Dick Trump, Roy Wills, Jean Bessire, Martha Nichols, June Helmer, Phil S9U6?T'1l'96?17 Vilchinger, Joe Hackley, Virginia Weadock. Sylvia Sawyer, and Joan Evans, all contributed to its successful publication. Miss Jamison and Miss Stuart are supervisors of the two publications. We thank them for many hours of pleasant reading and hope that the future papers will be as successful. What's that noise? i'That's my teeth. Don't be scaredE 'AW-wh-who's sc-c-c-scared? You arel I ! I I am not-it's your teeth that are chattering! Y If you had any, yours would be tool And besides-you didn't see 'SPOOKS'. Somebody has td die in a murder mystery so Bryant Bower willingly obliged, followed quickly by James Ackerman. Robert Heil portrayed the dignified bachelor, while' Marilyn Stilgen- bauer supplied the love interest. Alta Jayne Clark sleuthed her way to a solution of the whole baffling situation and everybody died happily ever after. Mystery, horror, and suspense deSCr1b'2S accurately, HSpookS, the Troubadourian Club's annual play. In a more serious track ran the Senior Class Play Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which was the last dramatic production in which our class participated. Those tak-ing part were Jo Ann Bogart, Virginia Weadock, Dolores Gast, Elaine Wening, Wavellene Beeler, Ann Weis, Marilyn Claassen, Erma Rehn, Jean Van Horn, Gloria Stark, Ellen Lagos, Jim Caton, Paul Newland, Bob Zumbrun, Dick Trump. Bob Griewe, and managers Robert Golden, Joan Evans,'Betty Myers, John Neely and Jean Bessire. Both of these plays were under the excellent direction of Mrs. Rhonemus. The curtain closed on the last act of a play, a year, and our high school life. Never again will we be so intimate with as many friends. Never again will we be in such close cooperation with our teachers, and although at times we didn't think it so, have a life as pleasant and serene as during our high school. Our sincerest thanks go to Mr. Steiner and Miss Stiles for a most enjoyable senior home room and to our supervisors, Mrs. Romaker, Miss McPheron, Mrs. Breese, Miss McClurg, MISS Bonita Jamison, and Miss Kephart, who have served us faithfully throughout the years. Homer Leach, an excellent principal: Howard Scheuerman, Arwilda Rutledge and all our faculty, whose understanding, patience, and teachings have prepared us for a place in th1S complicated world of today, we salute you. As we leave Central, we leave with a saddened heart and a hope that all of ourbcontacts in future life will be as pleasant. Goodbye and good luck to the new tenants of 307, the Junior class. --PAUL NEWLAND, i'4l eighteen JAMES FERDINAND ACKERMAN: Science Course: Scholarship test 45 Masqueraders 2: Troubadours 4, 3: Hi-Y 4, 3, 2, 15 program chairman 4: basketball manager 4, 3, 2, 1: football lg interclass basketball 4, 3. 2, 1: C0-Captain 4: intramural basketball 1: interclass baseball manager 1: intramural volleyball 1: bowling 3: Weekly Mirror 4, 3, 2, 1: sports editor 3: Quill and Scroll 4, 3: The Howling Dog 3: Spooks 45 debate 3: Cf Association 4.

After taking a few weeks to settle down, they elected as officers John Timmerman, president: Ruth, Alice Miller, vice president: Doris Levy, secre- tary: and Bill Geiser, treasurer. Patricia Cochran, Bob Kemmer, Harriet Sandifer, John Alt- stetter, Juanita Rogers, and Joan Jones were members of Central's governing body, the Student Council, which promoted all of Central's democratic privileges. The juniors presented their annual play Foot Loose with great success. Frances Ousley, Barbara Bowman, Stella Lorentz, June Webb, Laura Mae Gnagi, Joanne Hinkle, George Mac- Elroy, Bob Salisbury, Doyle Smith, John Timmerman, Tom Leech, Bill Geiser, John Jervis, Abby Gene Thomas, and Marcine Percy showed their acting ability in the comedy, which proved to be most amusingi and beneficial. Our football teams this year had representatives from our class. Ben Green, Bill Wade, Jim Waltemath, Tom Leech, Wallace Smith, and Paul Riegle-all helped to beat South and the rest of our opponents. Bob Kemmer, Paul Richards, Bob Placie, Don Welker, Doyle Smith, and Dick Grainger were on the reserve team. Next year we hope these boys will give us a stronger and better team. ' On our championship basketball team were Jim Vslaltemath and Wayne Wells. They re- ceived honorable mention in the district and state contests. Ben Green again showed his athletic ability by playing on the reserve team. The music groups of Central were well represented by the class, having an unusual number enrolled in the A Cappella Choir, Boys' and Girls' Glee Club, the orchestra, and the band. The juniors ranked high scholastically, having many members onthe honor roll. The Blue Triangle, Hi-Y, the clubs of Central, and all other activities enrolled many eleventh year students. The Weekly Mirror and Annual Mirror staffs attracted many future journalists. Those on the Weekly staff were Mary Jane Babcock, June Webb, Lurline Fredericks, Mildred Killian, Harriet Sandifer, Barbara Taylor, Ruth Alice Miller, Joanne Jones, Betty Reese, and Laura Mae Gnagi. The following helped to make this book as fine as it is: Bob Ashba, Barbara Bowman, Doyle Smith, Marcine Percy, Don Snow, Ernestine Worrell, Doris Levy, Phyllis Tuttle, Eleanor Wildermuth, and Harry Fockler. Although this is her first year as junior supervisor, Miss Bonita Jamison really proved herself to be not only an excellent supervisor but a good friend. The junior class give you, Miss Bonita Jamison, a vote of thanks for helping them through a most successful and happy year. -Evelyn Schurr thirty-six V thirty-eight Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row PICTURE 1 1-Betty Schriver, Betty Jo Shutt, Chuck Zerbe, Audrey Watson.

Sophomore Class History Hasn't it been fun being a sophomore? We have risen one step on the ladder leading to the rank of coveted seniors and elevated ourselves from the doormat position of freshmen. On our arrival in September there came to us an overpowering pride that accompanies the first taste of dignity, but some upperclass men had a better definition for it. Once we were settled into an affable regime, elections of class officers gave the following results: Norman Brentlinger, president: John Reed, vice president: Joan Lutes, secretaryg and Kenneth Harrod, treasurer. These representatives with the aid of our supervisor, Mrs. Jennie Breese, guided us throughout the year. Proudly we hail our members of the Student Council, Joan Thompson, Michael Davidian, Marcine Blodgett and John Pletcher, who helped plan the events of the year. Many who arently follow the roles of Tyrone Power or Bette Davis should start their search for talent with our own young hopefuls. The Masquerader's play, Beginners Luck presented as actors, actresses and managers Patty Pflaum, Patty Rinebarger, Ann Alexander, Joan Lutes, Rudy Rakowsky, Trevor Craig, Gordon Misch, Walter Bowman, Michael Davidian, Dena Fillips, Jim Thomas, Glenn Webb, Betty Kemph, Bill Fisher, and Harry Wright. Cheerleaders in the sophomore class were Joan Thompson, Bill Fisher and Joy Shaffner, and this brings us to our most attended activity-sports. Those boys who were active on the reserve or varsity football were: Norman Brentlinger, Bob Bowman, Kenneth Harrod, Jack Bales, Charles Kennedy, Nick Vucovich, Harry Vvlright and John Petropolis. With the arrival of winter's wild blasts came a most popular sport, basketball. Sophomore boys who displayed ability were: Joe Dillon, Bill Kohler, John Reed, Bob Bowman, Kenneth Harrod, Dick Schurr, and Nick Vucovich. Although boys are invariably connected with the mention of sports, our sophomore girls who rated the volleyball team were Marilyn Newcomb, Janet Fritz, Evelyn Schurr, Nancy Leech, Eileen Faze, Pat Roberts, Pauline Kruse, Joan Blum, Anita Greenberg, Audrey Bern- stein, and Nelda Mills. Under the further guidance of the G. A. A, the basketball team was composed of Audrey Bernstein, Joan Blum, Anita Greenberg, Pat Roberts, Laura Sims, Nancy Leech, Marilyn Newcomb, Pauline Kruse, Helen Van Wert, Frances Edson, Betty Folk, Evelyn Schurr, Nelda Mills, and Kathryn Turner. In the active line of sports, bowling figured high. Those girls on our team were Audrey Bernstein, Ella Brannock, Joan Blum, Anita Greenberg, Audrey Canterbury, Bettie Hume, Harriet Squire and Lucille Forton, Central's own Walter Winchells were common sights. Participating on the Weekly Mirror staff were Ann Alexander, Joan Blum, Marilyn Newcomb, Dena Fillips, Bill Fisher, Charles Grady, Joan Lutes, Nelda Mills, Mary lda Peterson, John Pletcher, Betty Jo Shutt, Anita Greenberg, Ellen Kohl, and Audrey Bernstein. The Annual Mirror held interest, for Dorothy Koehler, Bill Brown, Milton Kamin, Audrey Canterbury, Part Roberts, Joan Thompson, and Evelyn Schurr, Several sophomores were members of the Boys' and Girls' Glee 'Club and A Cappella choir. Sweethearts the operetta presented by the A Cappella was a huge success, Nancy Leech and Michael Davidian were members of our class who contributed to its success. With the second hurdle past, we end our sophomore year, looking forward with untold anticipation to the third step on the ladder. our junior year. --Audrey Canterbury '4 3 forty X .

Standing in awe among the noise and confusion of the senior high side, they wished they were back on the junior high side. After a few weeks they chose these capable officers to lead them through the year: Don Everett, president: Joan Hurst, vice president: Marilyn Gebert, secretary: Lyle Snow, treasurer. Janet Percy and Marjorie Mc- Jilton were elected to the Student Council. The class of 44 showed its scholastic ability by having many members on the honor roll. The Weekly Mirror and Annual Mirror staffs drew the interest ofl some. Those on the Weekly staff were Lou Anna Hennon, Richard Reeder, Mary Sandifer, Carol Creps and Carol Bennett. Cornelius Bakker, Kathleen Niemyer, Murl Franklin, Dorothy Irving, and Gwen Love on the Annual Staff. The Hi-Y, Blue Triangle, and all school clubs open to freshmen were well represented and honored by the class. Carol Creps, Gwen Love, and Marian Morgan starred in the annual Masquerader's play Beginners Luck . Keep it up young Thespiansll The freshmen showed much interest in sports. The baby Dragon's football team was comprised of Jack Heinze, Carl Richards, Dave Cox. Virgil Conners, Paul Wirght, Ray King- man, Jack Maich, Bill Collins, Jack Miller, Bill Alman, Louis Weber, Jack Bennet, Jack Willoughby, Forest Kidwell, Junior Foltz, and Ed Seaton. The young basketeers were Jack Miller, Harold Cook, Ed Seaton, Junior Foltz, Bill Collins, Dave, Cox, Carl Richards, Tom Schroeder, Harry Rutter, Paul Wright, Jack Willoughby, and Harry Myers, manager. Bowling, which has drawn the nation's interest, also drew the freshmen's. Marilyn Gebert, Jean Frost, Carol Creps, Joan Yoakum, and Joan Lockhead were on the girls' teamg while Dick Shaffner, Tom Schroeder, Harold Cook, Lester Bacon, Bob Cook, and Robert Stim- mel were on the boys'. The Ci. A. A. had an unusual number of freshmen enrolled. The interclass volleyball team was composed of Mary Altstetter, Joan Boggs, Ruth Butler, Louise Cary, Donna Krouse, Patty Landis, Rosalee Lytle, Marilyn Gebert, Mary Mumma, Dorothy Redd, June Widner. Janet Stalter, Joan Cunningham, Dora Winegardner. Mary Altstetter, Joan Boggs, Ruth But- ler, Mary Fee, Laura Folk, Marilyn Gebert, Donna Krouse, Patty Landis, Ruth May, Mary Mumma, Helen Weaver, June Widner and Betty Myers were on the class: basketball team. June Widnerl won the annual singles tennis tournament, a feat never before accomplished by a fresh- man. Congratulations, June! The freshmen sincerely wish to thank Miss Ruth Kephart, the class supervisor, through whose kindness and cooperation the class had a most happy and successful year. -Evelyn Schurr forty-four Begfhners Seventh and Eight Grade Class History To each person who enters Central in the seventh grade comes a wondering of what the next six years will offer. Can't you too sympathize with the newest arrivals? Each eighth grader who walked in possessed uncontrolled laughter at the bewilderment and innocence of the new seventh grade member. Passing over formalities the eighth grade class chose as officers, president, Charles Cheney: vice president, Mary Jo Redd: secretary, Barbara Breckenridge: treasurer, Paul Vucovich: and Student Council member, Nancy Heil. Following suit, the seventh grade elected president, Clarence Hannan: vice president, James Howenstine: secretary, Marjorie Snider: treasurer, Harvey Basinger: and Maeilyn Bennett to the Student Council. The junior high students were very active in all ath- letic activities. Intramural teams were formed in all sports and a junior high basketball team existed. Coach George Novotny's young players were Ray Snook, Leo Heffner, Don Sebaskes, Leonard McGee, Tom Cain, Wil' but Laire, Jim Cox, George Scheckilhoff, Paul Vucovich, Bob Cook, Bob Boham, Bob Pickering, Ray Stager, Jim Clark, Eugene Foster, Jack Riegel, and Tom Ward. The honor roll throughout the year listed many of the student body. Junior high Blue Triangle and Hi-Y had large memberships. Under faculty advisor, Miss Ruth Chiles, the eighth grade Blue Triangle chose their officers as fol- lows: president, Marilyn Hydakker: vice president and secretary, Jeanne Nice: and treasurer. Judy Stanley. Various chairmen were Sally Greiwe, Caroline Newlin, Marjorie Reese, Florence Wilcox, Juanita Neely, Mary June Marquis and Dorothy Neuman. As seventh grade faculty advisor, Miss Mary Jane Whitiling aided in elec- tions which resulted thus: president, Jean Hullg vice president, Shirley Costing secretary, Marilyn Wren: treasurer, Ruth Kruse: and program chairman, Virginia Holten. Junior Hi-Y was active and successfully supervised by Mr. Ulrick. Officers were Bill Woody, president: Bill Placie, vice president, Dave Neth, secretary: and Floyd Patterson, treasurer. The end of the year finds most of the eighth year students ready for trials and the tribulations of the senior high side, while the seventh graders take their places as leaders in our familiar junior high halls. The junior high student body wants to thank and give praise to Mrs. Gladys Romaker and Miss Edna' Mc- Pheron for their capable service and guidance to the seventh and eighth grade classes throughout the year. -Audrey Canterbury forty-,six forty-seven forty-eight Cx ws 'QV fifty Tops In Honors I. H. S. H. S. J. lt sounds like a secret society-very mystic and the such, but everyone should know what it means. It is the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, better known to Central students as the Quill and Scroll. The National Chapter was founded in April, 1926, and Central's charter, the first in the state, was secured by H. C. Heffner, in October of the same year. This year H. C. Heffner has been awarded a life membership in the Quill and Scroll for his sixteen years of service. We are glad to say that this year a record has been set for the largest membership in Quill and Scroll at Central. The following are the new members: Paula Bersee, Jean Bessire, Jo Ann Bogart. Doris Cole, Alta Jayne Clark, Barbara Bowman, Jean Esther Morris, Elaine Weining,, Martha Nichols, Virginia Weadock, Jeanne McDonel, Jean Van Horn, June Webb, Don Snow. Doyle Smith, Paul Newland. and Robert Heil. -Jo Ann Bogart J The State Department of Education sponsors every year a scholarship test for the students in the upper third of their graduating class. The test is divided into five subjects-mathematics. English, history, science, and reading. The high ranking students of the state are recommended for scholarships in the colleges of Ohio and a liberal sprinkling of out-of-state colleges. Fred- erick Rakestraw received the highest score of 231 out of a possible 300 points for this district. Other students who took the 1941 tests were James Ackerman, Jeanne Baney, Paula Bersee, Marilyn Claassen, Alta Jayne Clark, Doris Cole, Jane Conaway, Margie Brown, Joan Evans, Betty Floyd, June Hostetler, Edith Johnson.

This place looks familiar. lt seems to us that We visited here once before-yes, yes, this same time last year. lt couldn't be mistaken-it's the well-known Black Hole of Calcutta, which hasn't changed a bit--prisoners still laboring desperately over their work. Some have passed on and some are still here. On and on they work-day in, day out. Struggling desperately. they strive to get everything ready so the Mirror can be put to bed on time. Every other Monday night, when Ole Sol has long been resting peacefully on the soft, white, downy clouds, tired, weary figures, slowly dragging one foot after the other, can be seen streaming through the halls from Room 348. Bloodshot eyes, heavy eyelids, numb, cramped fingers-all of these go with the tiring task of tucking the dear ole Mirror into bed, but when it crawls out of bed on Friday, full of vim and vigor and greeting everyone with a great big smile, all the memories of the hard, tiring hours are immediately turned into happy, beaming joys. ' 9 This year a new type of article has been added to the Mirror. In this article are viewed the important happenings which are taking place across the billowy. white waves. This column has proved itself to be an interesting feature. The staff, with its advisors, has worked very hard this year to give the students what they like and want, and in doing so the staff has enjoyed its work tremend- ously. From the receiving end, the student body has enjoyed it too, and we think the staff deserves a big hand for such splendid work, Last, but definitely not least, are the staff advisors. Miss Laura Jamison does more than her share of the work as literary advisor, While C. l-leffner does his part as faculty business manager. To next year's staff is handed down the ever-burn- ing torch. It is now their job to keep it glowing, and may the flame burn brightly. -JoAnn Bogart fifty-three Row 1-Ili-iii?

Ba y Bees Have you seen the Annual Mirror yet? lt's O. K. Check the snappy covers! These are just a few of the many remarks which echo throughout the halls on the day the Annuals are released but let us look behind the scenes and see what makes this yearbook possible. A continuous buzz is heard everyday first period, way down at the end of the third floor on the junior high side. Take a peek through the keyhole of Room 348 someday, and you will observe a swarm of busy, buzzing bees, consulting the queen bee from time to time and preparing the honey that is to go into the empty comb , which, when filled, turns out to be our Annual Mirror. Nothing can be' better compared to this room and its work than a hive of bees, always busy on what seems never-ending work but very proud of the finished product. As queen bee, Miss Jeanette Stuart has quite a job, but her efforts are not in vain. Just as a bee hive cannot continue in its work Without the queen bee, so 348 could not manage this task without the never-ending help and guidance of Miss Stuart. H. C. Heffner's name rests under the title of faculty manager, while E. L. Huber has the man-size job of photography advisor. Well, students, the honey is in the comb, ready for you to consume. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for you, and that the flavor' will remain with you throughout the years to come. -JoAnn Bogart Efty-four Row Row Row Row 1-Dorothy Koehler, Marilyn Baker Kathleen Niemeyer Dorothy Miller.

The co-editors-in-chief are Rosemary Hardy and Paul Newland, while the senior associate editors are Doris Cole and Arnold Greenberg with Don Snow as junior associate editor.

Bill Parmenter and Frederick Rakestraw, the negative teamsters, won the State Championship Debate title by defeating Canton McKinley. Congrautlations, fellows, we are proud of you. Don Ammon, Marilyn Claassen, Constance Richardson, and Bob Thomas spoke on the aflirmative side of the subject: Resolved: that the power of the Federal Government should be increased. For the negative position of the selfsame subject were Dale Poling, Bill Parmenter. and Frederick Rakestraw, carrying the burden of sly verbal traps and counter verbal traps. The Dragon standard bearers debated Kenton, Piqua, and Troy to cop the district debate championship. Ammon, Thomas, Rakestraw, and Parmenter were members who represented the squad at the district and state meets. For the first time in Lima, a chapter of the National Forensic League has been established. The officers for the ensuing year are president, Don Ammon: vice president, Bill Parmenter: secretary, Constance Richardson: and treasurer, Bob Thomas. The debaters are very ably coached by Stanley Boylan and his two assistants, Miss Jeanette Stuart and Franklin Laman. We feel confident that Mr. Boylan and his staff will continue to develop fine speakers as he has done in the past. -DOYLE SMITH State Champs fifty--six Democ acy In Act bn Let us dig into the pile of old, musty volumes of the past and see what we can find. Say, here's something interesting-dated l9l7. A certain Mr. Moody and the class of that year saw the need for student government in Central, and it was then that our present Student Council first came into existence. A popular nomination and election are held with the following results: eight seniors, six juniors, four sophomores, two freshmen, one eighth grader,.and one seventh grader. Somwhere along the way the Student Council dropped by the way-sidervfbut was picked up by a good samaritan and nourished back to health in 1926. It was at this time that our present system of the nomination and election of its members took form. Another successful year may be marked down in the Student Council Journal with the following students holding olices, or committee chairmanships: chairman.

It is the pass-word of the street patrol boys as they guide Central students to safety each morning and noon. Your life is en- dangered every time you cross a street, but these boys are always at their corners fulfilling their duty by making safety one step nearer to you. You can always depend upon these fellows. Braving snow, wind, rain, and sub-zero weather to keep the haphazard motorists under control, the lads efficiently handle traffic and have the respect of all motorists and pedestrians. Their courtesy demands you to be careful and co-operative. Here is some inside information about the street patrol. Centralis regiment not only directs traffic at corners but keeps the bicycle riders under control at noon and evening dismissal. Even the bicycle alcoves are checked. Of course, you know that there are certain requirements for these boys! They must have a good! scholastic standing before they are able to become one of these life-savers. For their splendid service during the year the boys are awarded service pins in assembly at the close of the school year. Good luck, boys, and more power to you! The officers for this year are Myron Winegardner, president: Danny Easton, vice presi- dent and secretary. Each year E. L. Huber and the boys plan weinie roasts, hayricles, or other types of parties. They really have a fine time during the school year. The street patrol wishes to thank the student body and faculty for their splendid co- operation and Mr. Huber and the student council for their wise jurisdiction over this group. -Joan Thompson fifty-eight From border to border and coast to coast, we have just received the biggest scoop of all time. Flash! The Junior Red Cross Council of Lima Central High School is designing a project which will hold the interest of every boy and girl in Central High School, Promoting the friendship of boys and girls in North and South America, they are sending a scrapbook to South America containing pictures and articles of our everyday life. There are projects of this type being sent to other parts of the world by other school students in the United States. This isn't all the hard work that the Council is shouldering, for they are going to make over all the useless old clothes donated by the student body in Central to be given to the needy. Here are some interesting items about the history of the Central Junior Red Cross. It was formed several years ago, but few students were really interested in the Work. This year it was given another chance and clicked. Each home room selects a representative to the council. Although their work is quietly carried on, they are to be congratulated for what they have accomplished. The active officers of the council for this year are Robert Heil, presidentg Doris Levy, secretary: Rudy Rakowsky, treasurer: and Anita Greenberg, corresponding secretary. Why don't you students visit some of these meetings in the future? Junior Red Cross members always welcome these sessions. You are sure to find a very interesting discussion going on. -Joan Thompson Row 1-Paul Hochstetler, Donald Miller, Ann Geiser, Kathleen Niemeyer, Joyce Corner, Anna Mae Neuman.

L. Huber's office. Those who are eligible receive hall patrol badges which they wear while on duty. Patrolmen report to their posts at once to see that no rowdyism is started or the corridors are littered with papers. The monitors on the junior high side busy themselves attending the new seventh graders to see that they get acquainted with ye ol' Central. After the tardy bell rings. all lockers are checked to see that everything is in order. At the beginning of the year the Student Council members selected ai committee composed of Edith Johnson, chairman, Abby Jean Thomas and Marcene Blodgett,x'who offer suggestions to the patrol squad. gi The patrolmen report for duty at 8 a. m. and l2:3O p. m. Those who diligently fulfill their assignments receive pins for their service at the close of the year. C. R. DeLong, E. L. Huber and H. C. l-lelfner are the faculty patrol chiefs and serve throughout the school year. An honor study hall monitor gave us the inside information about Ol' r honor study halls. These study halls are governed by trusted students only. This daily responiibility takes place in Room 202. These study halls were organized for the purpose of creating honor, responsibility, and independence among the students. So far the objective of this plan has been successful. Gum chewers, rowdies, or any other sort of trouble makers, you are not welcome within this strictly independent project in Central: therefore lend a hand to raise the honor above examples shown in previous years. As you enlist and report for the honor study hall, don't forget that you are benefiting by this opportunity if you remember your honor through time. This training will appear in your later years when you will appreciate its worth. The Student Council selected a committee composed of John Neely, chairman, Alta Jayne Clark, Janet Percy, Howard Keller, Juanita Rogers, and John Altstetter, who aid with the work of the honor study hall. -Joan Thompson sixty-one i Row 1-Mrs. Fred Stover, Supt.

I Senior Band Ta-ta-tal What is that beautiful sound issuing forth from Room ZO8? Quietly Opening the door and peering inside, we behold ninety young musicians ardently playing their instruments. These boys and girls comprise the Central senior band. Watching them, we think of the foot- ball games, the excellent formations, the colored lights, and that marvelous Thanksgiving turkey! Ably serving in the capacity of president is Howard Keller: vice president, Bob Zumbrun: secretaries, Betty Neese and Paula Bersee: treasurer, John Eisley: concert master, Ned Goldin: student conductor, Bob Harter: and librarian, Bill Keeling. Head drum-major Bob Zumbrun and mascot Suzanne Albert lead the band through their intricate marches. For the hours they have so willingly given they are amply rewarded with band letters, and the seniors receive pins. Football games, the Coldwater Band Festival, concerts, contests, parades, and the Peony Festival are but a few of the activities entered by Central's band, and made possible by the generous and greatly appreciated aid of the Band Mothers Club, under the direction of Mrs. C. C. Claassen. As a new music organization we have the instrumental ensemble club, whose purpose is to give aid and practice in playing alone and in small groups and to prepare numbers for the district contests. As president the group elected Paul Vittur: vice president, Ned Goldin: secretary, Evelyn Herman: treasurer, Dave Jenkins: and librarian, Bill Keeling. The members of the band and the ensemble club find in Harold O. Clark an excellent director whose patient efforts and able assistance aid them greatly and J in Charles O. Guy, a very capable business manager. At the district contest on April 4, at Ohio Northern University, the follow- ing soloists received superior rating which entitled them to attend the state con- test at Columbus on May l: Harriet Squire, William Helser, Ned Goldin, Miriam Clark, Paul Vittur, Bernard Miller, Harry Folk and Thomas Hildreth. Those in ensembles also receiving a superior rating were: Bill Keeling, Bob Harter, Dave Jenkins, Jack Kelly, Howard Keller, Peter Rippens, and Bill Basinger. 5 The trials and tribulations of this group are many and great: but con- sidering all their hardships, they are doing a fine job.

Cenfrnliv Mile Sym irony Well, we're going to find out. We creep down the hall and peek into the room. This is what we see. In the hands of the director the baton moves slowly up and down in a steady beat and thus begins the song of this year's senior orchestra. The beginning strains tell a story of a very successful organization rapidly growing in popularity and ability. 'AGood, better, best: never let it rest, 'til the good is better, and better, best seems to be the theme which inspires them to reach for and attain greater heights than previously. Their aim is to learn to play capably and to appreciate the liner and more complicated arrangements of well-known composers. Representing the orchestra as worthy oliicers, we find as president, Bob Zumbrun: vice presi- dent, Paul Newlandg secretary, Evelyn Herman: treasurer, Paul Vittur: librarian, Bill Keeling: and concert mistress, Evelyn Herman. Through their excellent efforts, the orchestra has been capably guided during the course of the year. In attaining these great achievements our illustrious music students gave much of their time to preparing a concert with South for the Open Forum and playing at school functions and over the radio. The appreciation of the entire orchestra goes to Harold O. Clark. His untiring eiforts and eiiicient leadership have done much to raise the standards of the senior orchestra, which has come to play an important part in the activities of the school. Holding up the tradition of Central High School, the orchestra has made an excellent record and proved itself worthy of the school's recognition. As the closing strains of the song float through the air, we, the student body, are proud to hear them. -Jean Van Horn sixty-six Jambr Band TIME: 1933 PLACE: AUDITORIUM OF CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Several young, promising horn tooters assembled one day and called themselves the junior band. Many weird sounds echoed through Ye Ole Central halls as the future members of the senior band woefully blew their horns. The saxophones were sharp, the clarinets were flat, and the flutes were just plain off key. When they played their scales somebody burst in with the currently popular hit Beautiful Ohio. Somebody tried to tune his horn, but it seemed all the other horns were also flat. With an uncertain blast the music CU began again, but they did not give up. TIME: 1941 PLACE: CENTRAL'S NEW MUSIC ROOM Listen! lsn't that music? lt's the junior band. Hmmm-what do you think of that peppy march? The saxophones, clarinets, and flutes are really on key. Look at the new additions of French horns, cornets, oboes, and bass drums! As the director waves his baton, there is actually some harmony. Our junior band is a success. The junior band has been organized to prepare Central's younger musicians for senior band. Students may now rent instruments for a low charge and become members of the junior band after a short time. The group is composed of seventh, eighth, and ninth year students. Under the capable direction of Harold O. Clark, the junior band holds its rehearsals in the new broad- casting room. Several selections played by the junior band were Song of The Rose by Ernest Weber, Village Chapel by M. H. Ribble, and Playgroundf' by Ed Chenette.

Victor Herbert's Sweethearts , presented April 24, 25 and 26, was their outstanding achievement of the year. Those in the cast were Jean Esther Morris, Jerry Rone, Pete Newland, Nadine Speer, Doyle Smith, Natalie Woodruff, Danny Easton, Gene Bryan, Don Harrod, Michael Davidian, Joanne Hinkle, Frances Ous- ley, Laura Jane Ash, Nancy Leech, Abbey Gene Thomas, and Jean Everett. The ofiiicers were president, John Eisleyg secretary, Elaine Weningg treasurer, Gloria Stark: pianists, Betty Neese, John Timmerman, and Edith Johnson: and librarian, Henry Timmerman, At the district contest on April 4 at Ohio Northern University, the following received a superior rating for vocal solos: Jean Esther Morris, soprano: Edith John- son, alto: Pete Newland, baritone, and Doyle Smith, bass. It pays to be different! So thought Central High School when they introduced a group of boys and girls known as The Madrigal Singers , or double octet. Seated around a table, the combined groups became a double octet singing in an old English style. Dressed in black formal skirts and white long-sleeved blouses, the girls' octet composed of Nadine Speer, Jean Esther Morris, Joanne Hinkle, Marilyn Knipp, Jo Ann Bogart, Joan Brockert, Alta Jayne Clark and Edith Johnson presents a very pleasing picture. Singing Can Ye Sew Cushions? by Granville Bontock, the girls received an excellent rating at the district contest and will appear in the state contest at Columbus on May l. It was indeed a pleasing sight to see the smiling faces of these handsome young men attired in their black trousers, tuxedo shirts, wing collars, black bow ties, and white mess jackets. The appearances of the boys' octet were few but outstanding. Jerry Rone, Danny Easton, Tom Marshall, Dick Zimmerman, Jimmy Thomas, Henry Timmerman, John Jervis and Doyle Smith composed the members. We congratulate you, William G. Tempel, and extend to you our thanks for the work you have accomplished and the renewed interest you have brought to our students. Those who attentively listen to the melodious airs of this group extend their appreciation and a wish for the continued success of the A Cappella Choir and its inspiring leader. Almid the thunderous applause of all, we bring down the curtain on their efforts. . -Jean Van Horn sixty-nine sebenig 617'ls' and Boys' Glee Club Are you nervous?

Someone turned around and added his sympathy, A'Listen, if you say one more word about being scared I'll-well, never mind. We will surely go flat on that low B. Then everybody turned toward the door as William Tetmpel, the director. entered. The boys straightened their bow ties and the feminine members gave their hair a last stroke with the comb. Not bad, said Mr. Tempel, i'Boys, don't forget the quarter rest in the last measure. Everyone ready? Let's go to the auditorium. Their voices echoed through the auditorium. Everyone listened until the very last note had been sung. The singers' reward was a clamorous applause from the audience. Out marched the glee club members, having given another fine performance. Some of the selections by the boys were Climbin' Up The Mountain by William Smith, Brothers, Sing On! by Edward Grieg, and Stout Hearted Men by Sigmund Romberg. Participating in the Christmas assemblies and various other programs through- out the year, the Girls' Glee Club won praise from many. Several of their favorite numbers were The Snow by Elgar, Whip-Poor-Will by Hahn, and Glory to God in The Highest by Pergolesi. Members who are in the special solo trio are Nadine Speer, Martha Roberts, and Joan Brockert. Accompanists for the glee clubs are Edith Johnson and John Timmerman. Instead of wearing street clothes for performances, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs voted to wear identical clothes in order to have a more uniform look. This year the girls chose attractive white blouses and blue skirts, which give the choir that extra oomph. The boys sport white mess jackets, black bow ties, and dark trousers. The oflicers of the Girls' Glee Club are Edith Johnson, president, Elaine Wening, secretary: Shirley Keve, treasurerg and Alta Jayne Clark, reporter.

No, no, no, you skipped that quarter rest. Ready, let's try it again. Practice makes perfect you know. I Wonder who was so bright as to say try, try again, said a high, cracked voice. To think one, simple scale is able to cause so much damage. My kingdom for a drink of Water. Look there goes the baton. Listen-isn't that harmonizing? Who said We couldn't do it? If you happen to be in the vicinity of Room 208 any Monday or Friday afternoon the Hfth period, you can usually hear these future A Cappella stars singing at the top of their voices. This has been going on since 1934. when the Junior A Cappella Choir was organized by the younger, ambitious singers of Central's junior high. Under the capable direction of Harold O. Clark, the choir has become the musical goal for the seventh and eighth grade singers. These choice singers are selected by the director from the Junior Girls' Glee Club and from other music students who enjoy singing. The Junior A Cappella Choir seldom appears in public, but ahh-When they do, it is cer- tainly sweet music to our ears. At one of our parent-teachers' meetings the choir went into action and Won praise from the adult audience. As a special treat, the choir gave the cantata Song of Man by Kountz for their part of the annual spring music festival. The choir's oiiicers for this year are Helen Weaver, president: June Widner, vice president: Miriam Clark and Jeannette Elliott, secretaries: Dorothy Redd, treasurer: Bill Keeling and Tom Fritz, librarians: and Laura Jean Folk, pianist. -Dorothy Koehler seventy-two Jumbr 617ls' Wee dab Why are all those girls going in Room ZO8? Let's follow them and iind out. Hmm-I guess we should Walk in with them. There are some empty seats in the back row: we might as well sit down and see what happens. Look! They're passing out some music. Say-this num- ber All, Creatures Now Are Merry Minded by John Bennet certainly looks diiiicult. Here is that lovely number Whip-Poor-Will by Carl Hahn. These must be their favorite numbers. because they certainly look anxious to get started, Shh--don't makie so much noise. Tom Fritz is playing this piece of music. He makes a very good pianist for the club, doesn't he? The director's hand is descending now. Somebody's voice cracked. The unfortunate person is hiding his face in embarrassment. Again they begin, but this time there is harmony in the song of the Junior Girls' Glee Club. Mr. Harold O. Clark, the club's director, leads these songsters in sending music echoing throughout the room. Ever since 1934 he has helped the junior high singers to develop their musical talent. The Junior Girls' Glee Club was formerly the junior chorus, but due to the lack of masculine singers it became an all girls' organization. The time remains unchanged, however, and every Monday and Wednesday the sixth period the girls do their vocalizing. These mem- bers are usually chosen as participants of the Senior Girls' Glee Club and the Senior A Cappella Choir. Since the girls have just organized the club, they have not been ready to give many public appearances. They did, however, display their line talents for a P.-T.

Varsky Football Don't you think that the boys on the varsity football team are swell guys? Just think of the grueling drills that they go through every night at practice. During the lirst two weeks of the season the managers always work overtime with liniment and tape. Many a sore or bruised muscle was contracted for before the boys were in tip-top condition. The center of our line was held together by a big smiling redhead who answered to the name of Ernest QRedD Riegle. The guards on a football team receive a big portion of the hard knocks but a very few of the glories. Albert Zulliger, Bill Wade, and Paul Riegle very capably flanked Red with speed and stamina. At the tackle slot Morgan Jones, the Dragon's very capable coach, played the beeftrust, Jack QBucketD Blose, Tom Leech, and Ray CPorkyJ Maley. These men are veritable wild bulls in a china shop when storming the opponent's line. Fast, tough, glue-lingered, and aggressive Bob Boyd and Darrell Schlosser hlled the right and left flank positions, respectively. Taken as a whole, the Dragon backfleld was fairly light-but fast, tough, and full of ight. Ben Green, fullback, will have an even more successful season next year, we are sure. In the backfield Captain Paul fSneakD Tarbutton slipped through opponents' lines like a salamander. Hard driving, hard hitting Les DeVine was light but filled with intestinal fortitude up to his neck. Ed Penn, rated as the hardest tackling back on the Dragon team, also sang a mean solo. Wallace CWallyD Smith broke into the top-flight Central backfield list with his speed and slipperiness. Jim Wa'ltemath, one of the best and hardest blockers on the squad guided the team ably from the quarterback position, -Doyle Smith seventy-six Varsity Basketball What, you say Central High is the Northwest District Basketball Champions. That's great. , 1 Yes, students, you have a truly great team representing you on the hardwood floor. The Dragons won Hfteen of their nineteen seasonal games and were only defeated, by one point after a terrilic battle' in the state tournament. Coach Rex Settlemire is proud of his boys, and we are proud of him for the excellent guidance he has given the team through a dillicult season. I Dick Hill, aggressive senior guard, played a great style of ball throughout the season. Dick received honorable mention on the all state high school basketball team. Lester DeVine, a tough man to beat, is a regular starter for Coach Settlemire and always delivers the goods. Another man whose shoes will be hard to fill is Paul Tarbutton. When you need a steady man in the clinches, just call on Sneak. Darrell Schlosser, lanky center, plays .1 good steady brand of ball and istaflways in there pitching to win. Wayne Wells still has another semester of varsity ball and is the high scoring member of the squad. Wayne received honorable mention on the all-state team along with Dick. Jim Waltemath played his second year of varsity ball in championship style. Jim's scoring is in the higher brackets of the squad, and all indications seem to point to an even better record next year. Charles Ross was played out of position most of the season, but he was uncomplaining and hard-working. 1 Although Ben Green hasn't seen as much action this year as some of the others, 'his future is bright and we are sure he will make good.

The reserve boys didn't see or hear any of this glory. A few scattered spectators plus some idolizing parents gathered around the gridiron of Horace Mann were the only encourage- ment for the team. But here was the type of players the reserve club had. At center we had Charles Kennedy and Bob Kemmer. These boys were especially good on defense. The guard positions were held down by Bob Bowman, a small, fast man in charging the opponent's line: Norman Brentlinger, tough despite his small structure: Paul Richards, invul- nerable in his position a splendid player and Henry Timmerman, a good steady player at all times. Tackle posts consisted of Harry Wright, a big scrapping man with plenty of ight: John Petro- polus, who was injured in the South-Central game: Dean Wiseley, a madman in a glass house when playing on the line. The end slots were held by Ray McMichael, a freshman who saw plenty of service on the team: Dick Grainger, the Robert Taylor of the squad: and Ken Harrod, a small but effective man at the end post. The backlield was made up of Doyle Smith, the man who took care of the punting chores: Don Welker, a bruising fullback: Nick Vucovich, the field general of the squad: Jack Bales, a running meteor on the gridiron: and Jack Smith, a hard driving line-plunger. These boys were the prodigies of Ronald Dotson, who for years has turned out good players for the varsity. 4Bill Brown Fresfzman Football There were' a few scattered roars as Jack Maisch ran for a touchdown, but the enthusiasm of the crowd was lacking. The freshmen met four opponents this year, winning two and losing two. The team's centers were Junior Foltz, a steady man on both offense and defense, and Eddie Seaton. At guard were Carl Richards and Jack Bennett, both hard men to compete with when the going was tough: Forest Kidwell, a fast man on defense: and Paul Wright, a lanky boy who spilled many an opponent. The tackle slots were held down by Ray Kingman, a good blocker for his backfield teammates: and Dave Cox, a hard driver. The end posts were occupied by Louis Weber, a swmall but scrappy boy: Bill Allman, a good consistent player who foiled many end runs: and Jack Heinze, a squad member who always was in the middle of the pile up. The backfield was made up of Virg Connors, the brains of the squad: Jack Willoughby, running end of the club: Jack Maisch, the punter and ball carrier for the team: Bill Collins, the passing part of the backlield. Jack Miller doubled with Connors! at quarterback. Emerson Seitz was the able coach in charge of the Dragon yearlings. -Bill Brown seventy-nine Row Row Row Row 1-Coach Overholser, Kenny Harrod, Ray McMichael, Jack Maisch, Dick Schurr 2-Bill Kohler, Jack Bales, Albert Kirkpatrick, Torn Tharp, Dwayne Shields. 1-Walter Marshall, Harry Rutter, Bill Collins, Junior Foltz, Jack Miller. 2-Ray Kingman, Tom Schroeder, Dave Cox, Harold Cook, John Joliff. eighty tome 011, Boys! Mere? Columbus-- Reserue Basketball Winning nine games and losing six, Central reserves brought home the bacon for Coach Floyd Overholser. A few of the boys doubled with the varsity. Starting on the freshman squad, Jack Maisch improved enough to make the grade for thc reserves. Joe Dillon, ace of the rebounders, and Dick Schurr, lanky forward, had plenty of speed and light. Bill Kohler, a scrappy guard, had a good eye for the basket. The fancy dan of the squad, Johnny Reed, led his teammates in scoring this season. Like Dick Hill, Ben Green was the defensive ace of the squad. Bob Bowman, who had plenty of speed and endurance, was a puzzling man on the court. Another defensive star was Kenneth Harrod, while Ray McMichael showed plenty of fight for his Alma Mater. These tine basketball players were under the watchful eye of Coach Overholser. Mr. Over- holser's ability as a coach is borne out in these boys. Freshman Basketball The freshmen basketeers had a good season as far as playing goes. The boys raked up six wins and dropped five close ones. They also were consolation winners in the district tournament. One of the boys who made the wheels go round was the lofty center Harold Cook, a boy that had a good eye for the basket. The defensive ace of the squad was Eddie Seaton. Jack Miller, guard, was lost for half the season with a wrist injury. The fancy dan in the shot making divi- sion was Junior Foltz. Three boys with plenty of basketball ability were Dave Cox, Harry Rutter, a Hash on the hardwood, and Tom Schroeder, another tall man who could singe the mesh for points. All of these boys were awarded freshmen numerals. The rest of the team was composed of Ray Kingman, John Joliff, Paul Wright, Dud Richards, and Jack Willoughby. These boys were under the able direction of Walter Marshall, who has done much to better sports of the freshman class. -Bill Brown eighty-one Row 1-Philip Holstine, Paul Newland, Hill, John Short.

Par ers and Racqaefeers Golf and Tennis The 1939-40 Central High School tennis team had one of the most successful seasons in the history of tennis at Central. Coached by Wade Kraner, the team chalked up the excellent record of eight wins and no losses. Jim Waltemath, Bob Creviston, Bill McAllon, and Don Butts will see action next year. Through graduation the squad lost the services of Kenneth Roethlesberger, Don Carlson, and Don Rummel. The Dragons went to the district tournament at Bowling Green where Don Carlson and Jim Waltemath emerged victorious. In the state tournament Don Carlson and Jim Walte- math were eliminated by Youngstown Rayon, the state champions. We hope that in years to come the tennis team of l939-40 will set an example for teams to come and that they will have as much or more success. l When spring rolls around, it makes you want to go out and play golf. Now that's what our Central boys did. Although the Dragons won only one out of their ten starts, they exem- plified the sportsmanship that is a Central tradition. Dick Hill, a junior playing his second year as a member of the varsity golf team, was captain and shot No. l position. The sophomore sensation, Johnny Short, surprised everyone by playing a good steady game in the No. 2 posi- tion. Paul Newland played a steady No. 3 spot and Phillip Holstine held down the No. 4. Henry Timmerman and George Davis, sophomores, filled out the ranks. Among fourteen teams at the district tourney at Bucyrus, Central emerged in fifth place, a truly great improvement considering the unfortunate start the boys had. In the years to come, Central will have to go a long way to find a grander spirit of fair play than that shown by Coach Emerson Seitz's team of fine golfers. May the athletes of the future always keep this in mind: Fair play-win or lose. -Milton Kamin eighty-three Row 1 -Walter Koch, Bob Boop, Dick Bishop, Don Ogle, Jack With- am, Eugene Beeler, Ed Penn, Frank Upthegrove, Dick Gaugh, Michael Davidian, Rex Settle- mire.

Coach Ronald Dotson piloted his team to a .500 batting average by winning two meets, dropping two and tying one. In track the individual plays a much more important part than in most other team sports: however, the team element is present. Eight men won enough points to earn a major letter. The small number of lettermen shows that track is not the simple thing that some are wont to believe. Ralph Ramers and Phil Watson ran the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The 440 yard sprint was very capably handled throughout the season by fleet Harry Schipper. The fastest mile and half-mile ever run in Central track history was accomplished by Howard Miller and Tom Evans. i Coach Dotson had two very line hurdlers in the persons of Bill Hire and John Eisley. Bill also did a little broad jumping, while John competed in the high jump event. Bob Brentlinger pole vaulted, threw the discus and shot put, and anchored the mile relay team. Many sore muscles have been soothed by the capable fingers of Bill Butler, manager. Baseball Central's diamond nine completed their season with the remarkable record of thirteen wins and only two defeats. This year Coach Rex Settlemire produced one of the best baseball teams in the history of Central High. On the mound Robert Boop, Milan Stanich, and George Vucovich turned in excellent hurling records. They say that a pitcher is only as good as his battery mate. Richard Gaugh could pull the best from any of our hurlers. The infielders of a prize winning ball club must be fast and accurate, and the Dragons' were every bit of that and more. Tom Stump held down first base. Wayne Wells backed up the second sack, Edward Penn did likewise at third, and Les DeVine held them all together at shortstop. All good ball clubs must have capable outfilders. Since the work is usually lighter, the coach puts his heaviest hitters in the outfield to save their energy until they face the opposing pitcher. Small but mighty Frank Upthegrove, left fielder, swings one of the mightiest bats on the team. In center field we find Darrell Schlosser with Eugene Beeler flanking him in right field. If the next year's team equals the record of the 1939-40 club, they wi know they have really worked. May the future players be inspired! -Doyle Smith -five eighty ll ROW 1-Harvey Mfeyer.

I' 'Wim eighty-six The Men on the Sldehhe Coaches and Managers We have a real group of coaches and managers this year. To you we take off our hats for your splendid work. In all, Central has enjoyed an above average athletic program, said E. A. Haucnstein, faculty manager of athletics, who has a joke for every occasion. It is he who arranges for all our athletic contests. For our highly successful football season we look to Morgan Jones, who is head football coach and assistant track coach. Every night after school he works with the boys until dark. He too is very interested in music. We are still anticipating a solo in assembly. Rex Settlemire took his basketball team to state tournament. Not only is he head basket- ball coach but also head baseball coach. In both sports his teams have reaped the gains of superior coaching. Why, there is that jovial Floyd Overholser. If you don't kn O duce yourself. Before you know it you'll be old buddies for life. coach. His advice for sports is Development of true sportsmen who love to win but alibi no defeats. George Novoty, full of fun and pep, is a new coach this year. He is foot- ball line coach, junior high basketball coach, and junior high track coach. Another of our out- standing coaches is Ronald Dotson, known to his boys w him you had better intro- He is our reserve basketball as Ronnie. He is reserve football coach and head track coach. That merry f el 1 o w around the halls is Emer- son Seitz, our freshman football coach and head golf coach. Both of his teams have been very suc- cessful. We wish him con- tinued victories. Tall, blonde, and hand- some describes none other than Walter Marshall. His duties are freshman football. tennis, and basketball coach. Wade Kraner, tennis coach, has taken a definite place with his successful tennis team. Keep up the good work: we are right behind you. Always reliable, responsible, and ready are the managers. They work harder and put in more time than one realizes, These hard-working boys for varsity football were Walter Koch and Prank Marker: for reserve football, Michael Davidian and Gordon Misch: and for freshman football, Bill Harruff, and Bill Fredericks. Basketball managers were as follows: varsity basket- ball, Jim Ackerman with Ted Short and Vwlalter Koch, assistantsg reserve basketball, Bill Snook: freshman, Bill Harruff and Harry Meyer: junior high, Don McDonald and Leo Bevona. eighty-seven -Marilyn Claassen a Rosemary Hardy Wilbur Laibe Gloria Stark John Hughes Aw fam 'on Now Yell' I I ' Cheerleaders Look at those flashy lads and lassies. Guess whol Why those are our peppy cheerleaders on t you know who that is? That smiling little bundle of dynamite is none other than Rose- mary Hardy. Of course, you know the dark haired personality girl, Gloria Stark. She's cheering right now. Those two standing in the corner are Wilbur Laibe and John Hughes. These faithful Centralites can be found anywhere there are athletic contests: giving the team courage and pepping up the crowd. Hardly anyone realizes the hard work and time this takes. Rain or shine you can always count on them. In case you have never seen these cn thusiasts practice, go to the gymnasium home room period and watch them practice. They will be only too glad to have you. Do you mean to tell me you are a member of Centra1's student body and you don't know what their uniforms are? Well l'll tell you and no one will know th difference B ' h d . , e . rig t re skirts and trousers, heavy white sweaters, white shoes, and beanies for the girls make up the classy costumes. This year's alternates are Joan Thompson, Carol Creps, Joy Schaffner, Marian Morgan, Shirley Morris, Bill Fisher, Bryant Bowers, and Harold Stump. The alternate uniforms are those of the head cheerleaders of last year. Whenever a head cheerleader is absent or unable to be there these alternates are called upon to take his place. -Marilyn Claassen eighty-eight Cream of Me C' op C Association Are you a member of this organization? If not, you had better pep up and try to secure a membership. The only possible way to become a member is to earn a major letter in some sport. Just look at those C's and stripes wandering around the halls. Ambitious? Good looking? The honorary organization bases its qualilications on scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership, cooperation, and honor which every member must maintain. The main objective is to promote active participation in athletics. It has proven very beneficial, and Wei feel sure it will continue. Now's your chance, boys. They meet during home room period in one of the classrooms and then ----action really starts. The results of the election for this year is as follows: Ed Penn, president: Les DeVine, vice president: Ernest Riegle, secretaryg Wilbur Laibe, treasurer: Jack Blose, sergeant-at-arms. We are told they are really good too. Since Ed Penn graduated in January, Les DeVine is now active president. - Did you know that we have some great orators in Central? They are terribly bashfulg but after so much persuasion, they consented to speak in assembly. Every year one assembly period is given to this group. A regular session of the CU Association is held. At this time five speeches are given on the requirements of the association--honor, cooperation, sportsmanship. leadership, and scholarship. Everyone has a good time, and a desire is created in our younger Centralites to become a member. Of course they have their faculty advisor who is none other than that jolly-faced man with his pocket full of jokes, E. A. Hauenstein. He certainly has proven himself a successful advisor and faculty manager. -Marilyn Claassen Row 1-Ray Donaldson, Ben Green, Don Butts, Wally Smith, Bob Baker, Frank Marker, Walter Koch.

Junior Hgh Basketball Paced by Ed Shook the junior high basketball team had a very good season. They won seven games and dropped only one. The team was interclass, lightweight champions. To gain this distinction they had to defeat four iine teams representing the upper classmen. Ed Shook, one of the finest basketball players in junior high school, should be an assct to Coach Settlemire in years to come. Wilbur Rice was a fast-breaking guard with plenty of shooting ability. Leading the fast break was Leo Hefner, who paired with Shook in making points. Sandy McDonald was a burly guard who could hold his man to very few points. Speeding down the hardwood were George Scheckelholf and Paul Vucovich, two boys who could outrun their opponents every time. The center of the squad was tall and lanky Jim Cox, who had plenty of basketball finesse. Tom Cain was a point making machine for his team. leonard McGee was a deceptive guard who could make the nets burn with his shooting ability. Sparkling in his position, was .lim Clark, who could play a fine game of basketball for the junior high club, and George Sebascus, who could always be depended upon to play a good brand of basketball. Coach George Novotny, a newcomer to Central's coaching staff, piloted these boys through a successful season. Mr. Novotny can be depended upon to turn out fine teams for the junior high. -Bill Brown ninety Y l -Optimistic - -Smilin' Thru -Willy and Woodie So There! But baby-look at We're off! 7-Nice ? ?

It was the noon hour-a fun-crammed vacation was history-girls clad in typical blue gym suits were scattered everywhere-then a whistle blew, heralding a new era of calm. At last the long-awaited moment had arrived-the first intramural volleyball game! Thus the G. A. A. sports program was initiated-and what a series of spectacular en- counters that program contained. Each vigorous volleyball game, each stirring set of tennis, each brilliant basketball game was greeted with the same immeasurable degree of enthusiasm and an- ticipation. These' intramural games gave every girl a chance to .exhibit her finesse in the various sports, and what a crowd grouped around the bulletin board on the day the interclass teams were announced! That was one star all girls were eager to pluck from the heavens. Yes, enjoyment liowed freely in all G. A, A. events, but the aim was far higher than mere pleasure. What good are sports without physical eiiiciency, scholarship, and sportsmanship? The successful development of these qualities naturally was the goal toward which all members headed. Certainly you must have met the comely lasses who were chosen by the members to lead them to success. lf you haven't, you must get acquainted with Betty Floyd, presidentg Connie Richardson, vice president: Delores Gast, secretaryg Patty Roberts, treasurer. No less important were the board members Doris Plankell, basketballg Dorothy Hall, volleyball: Dorothy Fridley, hitpin: Betty Erskine, social chairman and hiking: Betty Reese, minor sportsg Marilyn Newcomb, tennis: Joan Thompson, publicity: Janet Percy, freshman representative. -Ann Weis ninety-two 0ar lnspmzflbn fFl'7'2Gl Emblem Girlj Final emblem girl-what an honor to be elevated to that position, or even to be considered as a prospective candidate! This year, as always, the title was bestowed at the festive G. A. A. banquet in May. No one seemed really startled when the announcement of final emblem girl was made. for the star that had glittered most conspicuously was, of course, Betty Floyd. When sympathetic understanding was needed, when gray clouds were to be erased by sparkling laughter, when los- ing a game was hardest to swallow, everyone turned to her for the needed words of comfort. Yes, Betty, you are the possessor of all the qualities we expect in the ideal American girl. A substitute for you will be truly hard to ind. With a nectar-like disposition, Constance Richardson proved to be an obstacle in the path to a conclusive decision. She is one of those remarkable individuals who obtain infinite satis- faction from assisting others Without anticipating reward. Like a magnet, her radiant manner pulled toward her all those who came near our Connie. Central seemed particularly blessed this year, for six other senior girls gained top recogni- tion for skill and dignity. Petite and vivacious? Oh! yes, that sounds like Frances Metzger. mastering both art and athletics. Sincerity and finesse are the keynotes of Margaret Folk's de- lightful personality. One who believes red hair typifies fiery temper doesn't know our Deloras Ciast, for there couldn't be a more calm or amiable person. Combine complete naturalness and perpetual good humor to immediately visualize peppy Dorothy Vincke. No complaints ever drifted from the lips of June Helmer, nor did any task, however great, ever harm her poise or agreeableness. Dancing brown eyes and a winning smile are word pictures of a gay little maiden. Melba Buchanan. Imagine all these qualities in such a small number of lasses. Central will be a lonesome place until someone is found to fill these vacancies. -Ann Weis ninety-three Weaker Sex? Don? KM Yourself fMajor and Minor Sportsj Clear azure skies and falling leaves of autumn found many G. A. A. members strenuously battling on .tennis courts. The, final match between June NVidner and June Helmer sizzled with smashing volleys, but finally June Widnieir won the championship by two straight sets. Closely following, volleyball established its position and stirred up tremendous enthusiasm. Dorothy Hall piloted her Northwestern team to a striking victory, barely side-stepping the stiff competition of Betty F1oyd's team, Chicago. Proving underclassmen's worth, the sophomores, led by Patty Roberts, left their swaggering elders in the shadows while reaping interclass honors. While snow swirled outside, the G. A. A. spotlight focused on basketball. It would be almost an impossibility to select one single game as the most spectacular, but the sophomore- senior clash certainly was a thriller from the opening whistle to the finish-climaxed by a tie score. Nancy Leech, Marilyn Newcomb, and Evelyn Schurr were consistently accurate scorers for the sophomores, while Frances Metzger and Constance Richardson were the inspiring senior for- wards. It's no wonder the score was small, for effective guarding by Betty Floyd, Audrey Bern- stein, and Joan Blum left few chances for exhibition of shooting skill. The junior team, work- ing like a smooth running machine, was distinguished by Dorothy Hall's long shots traveling unefrringly into the basket, and free throw champion, Doris Plankell's expert foul' shots. Out- standing freshmen were Marilyn Gebert and Mary Mumma. The hard-lighting Chicago Cubs, captained by Betty Reese, overpowered all other intramural teams. In deck tennis, Betty Floyd and Marilyn Newcomb proved their superiority with untiring effort and teamwork, while Heet-footed June Widner was triumphant in a swift moving bad- minton tournament. ln the spring when others' thoughts turned to love, G. A. A. interests centered around hit pin, ping pong, and tennis doubles. Congratulations to a versatile, straight-forward group of girls and their earnest advisor, Miss Adelaide Sawyer. Central's proud of your activities. -Ann Weis ninety-four Hail' The fonqaenhg Heroine: KC and N Girlsj Let's take a peek into the gym. Yes ,of course, here are all of the C girls, for this is their favorite haunt. The C's signify a great deal of earnest work, rewarded with points gained by participation in various sports. It took one thousand points for these girls to obtain their letters. Those coveted chevrons, you may observe, are the results of unusual skill. We can't all be exceptional, so numerals are presented to girls earning live hundred points. XVhat a basket! You might know it was made by that tiny, energetic creature, Doris Plankell. Dorothy Vincke, in all her enthusiasm and joviality, is just aching to show her prowess too, while Deloras Gast and Constance Richardson, noted for their friendliness and good judgment, calmly discuss prospects for the interclass teams. Betty Reese and Mary Ida Van W'irt, eager to show their confidence, put in votes for the junior class. There's a hit pin game in progress. That's docile Dorothy Fridley kicking the ball pitched by amiable Margaret Folk. lf it hadn't been for the clear thinking of Laura Mae Sims, that certainly would have been a run. Three other conscientious players doing their share as usual are Frances Metzger, Pauline Kruse, and Evelyn Schurr. This looks like an interesting quartet. Yes, it's those ambitious and agreeable individuals, Betty Erskine, Rhoda Page, Jane Rousculp, and Mantha Sims, waiting for Dorothy Hall and Eleanor Wildermuth to bring the volleyball net. That should be a marvelous game. You might expect to find that fun-loving pair, Marilyn Newcomb and Betty Floyd, on a tennis court, but instead they're watching Patity Roberts and Betty Hardesty, those two versatile persons, playing a dazzling game of badminton. Let's slip out quietly now, and while we admire these girls, let's save a little praise for the athletes who wear a numeral. Sunny weather friends are available by the dozens, but when the going is rough, a friend and willing advisor is hard to find. Fortunately the G. A. A. found such an unusual personage in their supervisor. Thanks for everything. Miss Adelaide Sawyer. -Ann Weis ninety-five Magic fingers 7-Guess who!

What are the Troubadours, Annie? This club majors in dramatics, puts on plays, and gets a miniature idea of -backstage life. The club is made up of juniors and seniors who have graduated from the Masqueraders' Club. Sh! Natalie Woodruff, the secretary, is checking the attendance: Paul New- land. the president, now calls on Mary Jane Salisbury, the treasurer, to give a report on the dues. XVhen Paul is not here, Robert Heil, the vice president, takes charge of the club. Mrs. Jessie W. Rhonemus is the competent advisor of these dramatic-minded proteges. At most of the meetings one-act plays are presented under student direction. Every member takes part in one of these plays, which make him eligible for the annual Troubadourian play. A new constitution and by-laws were drawn up this year by Paula Bersee, Harriet Sandifer, and Dick Trump. The club will be guided by this constitution in the future. Members who selected the annual Troubadourian play this year were Robert Heil, Jean Esther Morris, Alta Jayne Clark, Gloria Stark, and Paul Newland. Ghosts, murders-that is Spooks . Didn't you see it? It was presented March 21,1941. Dean Wiseley shined as a stutterer, and when he proposed to Marilyn Stilgen- bauer, the young, vivacious heroine-remember? We all thought that Robert Heil was the villain and had planned to kill everyone so he could have the money him- self, but instead he turned out to be the hero, much to our relief. Joanne Jones was suspected after that mysterious telephone call, but a pretty girl like her couldn't be held for murder. Bryant Bower, how long did you practice dying? It was perfect. Marcene Percy portrayed the mute negro maid until Alta Jayne Clark, the charming nurse, found out otherwise. Bill Geiser was perfect as the old negro servant. He surprised us by being the villain. Jim Ackerman as police inspector tried to solve the mystery but was killed, so Bill Parmenter had to take over. John .Jervis took the ill-fated will back to the lawyer's office. What happened to those drapes, Barb? This depicts some of the trials and tribulations of Barbara Bowman and Phyllis Tuttle as co-property managers. The money, programs and tickets were well taken care of by Shirley Haines. The biggest job of all was directing these members. This was superbly handled by Mrs. Jessie W. Rhonemus.

The future Bette Davises and Charles Boyers met at the auditorium for their first meeting last Octoberf At the meeting the following officers were selected: Natalie Gregg, president: Rudy Rakowsky, vice president: Dick Zimmerman, secretary: and Joan Lutes, treasurer. Everyone in the club had a fine time during the school year putting on the weekly and annual plays. Several of the most entertaining weekly plays were Murder in Hollywood , Treasure Hunt , and The Jewelled Hand . The club meets bi-monthly and is under the capable supervision of Miss Ruth Moore, who patiently directed the Masqueraders. Hello therel Can you remember what happened in Central's auditorium on January 31. l94l? Yes, sir, it was Beginner's Luck , the Masqueraders' annual play. We were all looking forward to it and received just exactly what we wanted, a gay sprightly three act comedy, with a delightful cast excellently supervised by Miss Moore. The play concerns the problems of four Falls City girls starving in a New York garret, but trying to impress a home-town society sob-sister of their non-existent good fortunes. The girls are Jean Masters CAnn Alexanderj, who hopes to write a great American novell Pat Jordan CPat Rinebargerj, who is an up and coming young actress: Meg McRae Uoan Lutesj, who is striving for fame in the eyes of the art critics: and Gail Fuller Qpatty Pflauimy, who is going to thrill patrons of the Metropolitan Opera House with her soprano voice. Things become more involved as the girls continue to masquerade under the good fortune of having achieved all they hoped for in coming to New York. The surprise climax comes when four influential persons arrive through the efforts of a mysterious neighbor, Mr. X., and all the girls' dreams come true. Unforgettable was the supporting cast of characters, consisting of Rudy Rakowsky as the ambitious art student: Paul Hanford, the young writer: Trevor Craig, Chris Murray: Carol Creps, the unpopular landlady, Mrs. Pike: Gordon Misch, the mysterious philanthropist, Mr. X.: Walter Bowman, an Italian street musician, Tony Donato: Michael Davidian, Bramwell Booth, an actor of the old school: Marian Morgan, the society editor, Birdie Brown: Dena Fillips, Madame Humperdink of the Metropolitan Opera Company: James Thomas, the art critic, Clarence Ivy: Gwendolyn Love, a literary agent, Lucy Ruggs: and Glen Webb, the Russian theatrical director, Boris Borislavisky. -Guy Roger Roberts J' one hundred one Row 1-Wavellene Beeler, Richard Trump, Jo Ann Bogart, Jim Caton, Marilyn Claassen, Delores Gast, Bob Greiwe.

The cast wishes to express their gratitude to Mrs. Jessie W. Rhonemus for her fine direc- tion of the play, and to Robert Goldin, business manager: Joan Evans and Betty Myers, property managers: and Jean Bessire, Wardrobe manager. -Wavellene Beeler one hundred two Foot-lease The Central High auditorium was packed with eager, excited students, all eyes were watch- ing the clock which was nearing the hour of eight. The night was November 15, l94O, and the juniors were presenting their annual play. This year the comedy was 'Foot-loose. The Earlys, a typical American family, are concerned about their children who are growing up.

In this short space we shall endeavor to relate to you a few of the facts concerning Central's younger actors and actresses. The majority of the brilliant stars of our senior and junior class plays and our Troubadourian and Masqueraders' plays were at one time members of these clubs for younger students of Central interested in dramatics. In the beginning there was only one Thespian Club for seventh and eighth grade students. But, due to such a large number of meritorious young artists, two years ago the original club was divided into two separate groups, the Seventh Grade Thespian Club and the Eighth Grade Thespian Club. The officers of this year's eighth grade club are Herman Bronfen, president: Jeff Morris, vice president: Nancy Heil, secretaryg and Mary Frances Morris, treasurer. The club boasts forty-two members. Under the very capable supervision of Miss Lillian Lippincott, the club meets every second and fourth Wednesday. Under the efficient leadership of Miss Idetta Lutz, the seventh grade club meets every first and third Wednesday. Its officers for this years are Susan Solomon, president: Beverly Davis, vice president: Bob Kamin, secretary: and Gary Hill, treasurer. Forty members are enrolled in the club. Some of the plays presented this year by the seventh grade Thespians were Rose of the Rileys , The Boy Who Said Aint , A Christmas Hint , and Scotch Grace , which was Cl Thanksgiving feature. The eighth grade Thespians have presented Sea Food , 'iWieners on Wednesday , Murder! Murder! Murderl , and The Gloomy Ones . Members of the club are given the opportunity to select their own skits and casts. Frequently these skits are presented instead of plays and the students show remarkable ability in writing such playlets. Special meetings are held to teach the students the technique of being a good actor and also a good audience. Students learn to wait until laughter or applause in the audience fades out before resuming their lines and to appreciate and not to make fun of love scenes. Hence, my dear students of Central High School, if we have not fully answered the ques- tions in your mind pertaining to the early training of our praiseworthy performers of the stage, we suggest that you spend some Wednesday from 3:10 to 3:55 p. m. with one of these groups of promising young stars and starlets which meets in 307. -Dorothy Miller one hundred five -The master's touch -Bull session -Mad again? 9-Sure, it runs 10-Now, let's see- 1l-Senior Supervisors -This is the way the annual goes to press 12-Lookit smile Looking at boards Windup Tweet Tweet Take a letter, Miss Brown 13-Newton was all wrong 14-With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair 15-Clem McCarthy 16-You see, Silas was afraid one hundred six V Row Row Row Row Row Row 1-Peggy Fruchey, Doris Plankell, Margaret Turner, Fern Kunkleman, Betty Ann Gannon, Frances Metzger, Reathel Snodgrass, Mary Ida Van Wirt, Ellen Lagos, Patricia, Welding, Joanne Jones, Stella Lorentz, Betty Latham, Juanita Rogers, Betty Joyce Hill. 2-Louise Trempert, Jo Ann McClain, Naomi' Donaldson, Virginia Severns, Mary Moore, Mary Tinianow, Jean Kinkley, Audrey Carnes, Paula Bersee, Joan JenningS, Dorothy F1 id19Y, Joan Brockert, June Helmer, Maxine Haman. 3--Bettye Cole, Ruth Alice Miller, Barbara Taylor, Phyllis Tuttle, Waneta Kohler, Frances Snyder, Jewel Stalter, Joanne Hinkle, Claudine Renz, Rose Mumper, Joan Evans, Roxy Eaton, Dorothy Hall, Doris Cole.

Haill The gang's all there-where--why the Blue Triangle meeting of course. There are few Central girls who really want to go places and do things that do not belong to their branch of the Blue Triangle. Betty Myers, president of the senior club: Betty Floyd, vice president: Jean Rulison, treas- urer: and Martha Nichols, program chairman. with the committee chairmen, put out some attractive programs. Included among these were subjects on Your Vocation or Future Jobs , Make-up , and one especially fascinating subject. Health which was given by a real, honest- to-goodness visiting nurse. Under the direction of Dorothea Miller, social chairman, many fun- loaded events were planned. In spite of the senior club showing that it can be done, the junior class Blue Triangle club is not to be beaten. President. Marcene Percy: vice president, Laura Mae Gnagi: treasurer, Pat Cochran, and program chairman, Doris Levy, report a year's calendar nlled with many well- planned programs. Several panel discussions were held on subjects that interest the high school girl. The meeting that seemed to interest the members most, however, included a speaker on Clothes for High School Girls . For their Christmas work the girls met and made sack ducks, which were later filled with candy and presented to the Salvation Army for those unfortunate children who had not planned on a visit from Santa Claus, The sophomore club continues the good work. President, Pat Roberts: vice president and secretary, Dorothy Dehler: treasurer, Dena Fillips: and program chairman, Margaret Watkins. gathered together a program. For the first half of the year, the meeting subject was Beauty with various beauticians as guest speakers. Later on a few meetings were concerned with Boy Dates Girl . For their social events of the year, the club certainly was not at a loss. A hayride. a joint meeting with the Hi-Y, a theatre party, and many other events went off with great success. Helen Weaver, president of the freshman class Blue Triangle: Joan Campbell, vice president and secretary: Donna Krouse, treasurer: and Dorothy Redd, prograsm chairman, presented to their fellow club-members a year's program full of unusual meetings on old but interesting topics. Miss Gayle I-Iowey led the girls in a discussion on that ever important topic Girls' Social Behavior Today . At a covered dish meeting, Reverend Simon Davidian addressed the members on 'Personality and Its Meaning , Dances, parties, and wiener roasts kept the girls busy as far as social events went. Thanks to Misses Phyllis Mendenhall, Mary Belle Linnell, Lydia Buchanan and Mary Wat- son. senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman advisors, respectively.

For their officials the girls chose Marilyn Claassen, president, to preside over the weekly dis- cussion: Marietta Nichols, vice president: Muriel Teitelbaum, secretary, to preserve their records: Helen Weaver, treasurer, to keep the finances in the blue: and Constance Richardson, sergeant-ab arms, to maintain order during meetings. To interpret the constitution, modeled after that of the Senate, Betty Erskine, Kathryn Turner. and Mildred Williams were appointed to the con- stitutional committee. Some very line debates were held on topics selected by the hard working program committee consisting of Jean Rulison, Shirley Morris, and Doris Steger. Due to the custom of holding elections twice yearly in the Senate, more members have a hand in the governing of this body. The Senator of Indiana, William Parmenter: the Senator of Nebraska, Robert Hill: the Senator of Utah, William Reid: the Senator of Virginia, Robert Ashba: and the Senator of Kentucky, Roger Fett, were chosen as president, vice president, sec- retary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms, respectively, for the nrst term. In the Senate at the half year election the following were chosen for the post of president. vice president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms, respectively: the Senator of Nebraska. Robert Hill: the Senator of Arkansas, Danny Easton: the Senator of Utah, William Reid: the Senator of Delaware, Don Ammon: and the Senator of Kansas, Art Hedges. Although during its twenty-five years of existence the Senate's constitution has not ex- cluded the women, the members have not allowed them. Through the' elforts of Senator Par- menter, the girls have formed as near a replica of the Senate as possible, retaining Central's H. W. Lee as their supervisor. Several times joint sessions were held, at which time topics of mutual interest were dis- cussed. The Senate generally had charge of such meetings. The Senators. with the aid of a willing constitutional committee, composed of Senators Henry Timmerman, Robert Thomas, Cyrus Chapman, and Robert Ashba, endeavored to find all the loopholes in the constitution possible. This added greatly to the interest of the weekly meetings. W. W. Taylor has acted as supervisor, and under his guidance the club has and will con- tinue to proceed forward in its program. -Robert Hill one hundred eleven LD Row 1-Juanita Rogers, Dolores Rin M 2, ary Row 3-Ruth Baker, Virginia Severns, Guy Moore.

If not, you really don't know what you are missing. In this room dual personality is exhibited along with many clever and beautiful drawings, paint- ings, and substantial Hgures. These same genius-inclined students can be seen jitterbugging or participating in any menial task, but once they enter the Fine Arts Club they are mentally and physically transformed. Gone is the happy-go-lucky attitudes: minds are dwelling on the ex- pression of art. These Central students cannot help but muse over the thrilling prospects of life which might place them with the greatest artists of all times. Some might consider these foolish visions, but where there is a will there is a way. As masters to lead these ambitious students this year, June Helmer was chosen as presi- dent: Guy Roberts, vice president: Jean Bessire, treasurer: and Juanita Rogers, secretary. Encouraging and aiding in every possible way was Miss Mary Kirk, who did her best to make it a profitable year and to improve their drawings, paintings, and sculpturing. One of the most vigorously attacked projects was that of molding heads from clay for marionette dolls. Also most any commonplace article can be transformed by an artist, such as using the club found that potatoes for initial stamps. If you future Michelangelos would like to embark upon your careers why not join the Fine Arts Club now? -Audrey Carnes one hundred twelve fomme ce Keeps Me World Tum bg The Commercial Club Mimeograph and stencil? Whatl You can't explain these terms? Then you aren't a member of the Commercial Club. This ambitious group is looking forward to making its own way in the world. There- fore this club gives these bright-eyed pupils the opportunity of learning necessary knowledge that is not available to all those in commercial work. Since many high school students are in doubt as to what work they would like to enter, this club visits the business houses of Lima and attentatively listens' to all information offered them. This information consists of explanation and demonstrations. Helpful material is presented to the members by the three eflicient supervisors, C. R. DeLong, Miss Ethel Stiles, and Miss Wilma Rickenbacker. Much of their aid is on the sub- ject of etiquette. Since it is essential in the commercial world and so lacking in a large num- ber of young people, it is heartily welcomed. ' This conscientious group which meets at 3:10 p. m. in Room 302 cast its votes for those who possessed the ability and initiative to lead the others through a year of learning along with its fun and frolic. They chose Constance Richardson, as president, who does not fool one with her totally business like manner because she is really quite a wit. Connie is ably assisted by Imogene Jenkins, vice president: Ann YVeis, secretary-treasurer: .lane Miller, press- correspondent: and Betty Ward, sergeant-at-arms. A committee of five act alternately as program chairman. These five are Jean Van Horn, Mary Tinianow, Matilda Harnishfeger, Patricia Cochran, and Rhoda Page.

So you see, girls, if you can't win him through his greatest weakness-we mean his stomach-he's. going to try to get you by the same means. We have always believed that one of man's higher ambitions is to learn to cook without ruining everything. This year the members have brought this dream into existence. During the past year they have cooked, baked, or made doughnuts, cherry pies, cakes, chili, spaghetti, biscuits, fudge, and upside-down cake. When the boys have finished their recipes and cleaned the pots and pans, they may take their own cooking home and show their mothers or sisters. There are no veterans in the clubs, since the membership is limited to one year, so as to accommodate the energetic bachelors in Central. The elected leaders were Bill Noble and Rudy Rakowsky, presidentsg Howard Keller and Glen Webb, vice presidents, Bill Turner and Richard Romaker, secretary-treasurer of the Chefs and Bachelors, respectively. The success of both clubs was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Phyllis Mendenhall, head of the home economics department, and Miss Mary A. Swingle, advisors of the Bachelors and Chefs, respectively. The Chefs meet in 207, the home economics room, the second and fourth weeks: the Bachelors, the first and third. At the beginning of the year each member is given a cook book, and is required to- have an apron and a clean dish towel. The interests in the club may prove to be of more value other than just a lot of fun and learning to cook. Someone might acquire a position in a restaurant by simply relating the experiences as member of the Bachelors or Chefs. With the present draft law there will be a large demand for cooks in the army. Although the Bachelors club is three years old and the Chefs, only one, may the enthusiasm of the boys continue to be as great in the future and may they have as much success and fun .as they have had this year. --J im Roeder one hundred fifteen 1 l Row Row Row Row Row Row -Betty Graffam, Edith Johnson, Doris Cole.

Radio broadcasts are full of the latest details about those being attacked. These programs serve to make us more interested in learning about foreign countries and their customs. The Foreign Correspondent Club, formed for the latter purpose, has been carrying on with its usual efficiency in spite of the interference of war censorship. Very few names of foreign correspondents were given out this year, but some letters did get through to be read before the group. Under the leadership of president. Shirley Haines: vice president, Betty Hitchens: secre- tary, Mildred Williamsg treasurer, Marilyn Baker: program chairman, Margaret Miller: and advisor Miss Gertrude Marshall, a series of meetings were presented which held the interest of the club members all year. With foreign countries as a general subject, messages were brought to the group from far-off lands by various speakers, missionaries and travelers. Mem- bers were guests at a tea given by Miss Gayle Howey during the year. France, its language and customs, proved to be interesting enough to the group of Central girls who compose the French Club. The year started off with Miss Eloise Brown, club ad- visor, entertaining with a tea all those interested in becoming members. At this meeting the new members decided that a small group desirous of a more detailed study of French would be more advisable than a larger group of non-interested members. Thus the club started the year out with fifteen girls who elected as their officers Betty Myers, presidentg Wavelline Beeler, vice president: Jean Baney, secretary, and .loan Evans, treasurer. This group planned many entertaining and educational programs. Small skits were Worked out by members, catchy little French songs were sung, and Le Petit Jounalf' a French paper, served as the foundation for many French stories. At their Chrisstmas meeting a gift exchange was held, and French pastry was served as refreshments. As the end of the year approached, each member awoke to the realization that through the French Club she had learned a great deal more about the French language and customs. -Elaine VVening 1 We E f are 0 One hundred seventeen Row SEVENTH AND EIGHTH BLUE TRIANGLE 1-Ruth Ann Kruse, Mary Lou Wheeler, Mary June Marquis, Katie Inoway, Ann Geiser, Virginia Ho-lten, Carolynn Robinson, Wanda Schaaf, Mary Kruse, Bettyelu Steele, Joanne McCluer, Rlta Kimmet, Betty Polick, Evelyn Rupert, Betty Downing, Flora, Dew, Joanne Cook.

Although it is said that the modern girls are a bit on the flighty side, they really have serious thoughts. Yes, YVhen the Blue Triangle was first organized' there was but one club: now we have six. six! This organization was enjoyed and valued so much by the girls that the volume of membership made it necessary to form many clubs. Thus there is a Blue Triangle for every class. During the year the girls listen to talks on various subjects of particular interest to them and enter into worth-while projects for those less fortunate, To face life squarely and To find and give the best is the purpose of the club. The girls chose the following as friendly, conscientious classmates to plan the programs and lead them through a year of progress. The Seventh Grade Blue Triangle Club president was Jean Hull: vice president, Shirley Coston: secretary and treasurer, Ruth Ann Kruse. Virginia Holden acted as program chairrman. The Eighth Grade Blue Triangle officers were selected from a Wide awake group. Marilyn Hydaker received the appointment of president: Jean Nice, vice president and secretary: Judith Stanley, treasurer, and Sally Griewe, program chairman. An outstanding feature of the social program was the tea for the mothers. The Seventh Grade Blue Triangle gives thanks and credit to Miss Mary Jane Whiitling for her diligent part in assisting this young group. Likewise Miss Ruth Chiles receives the very same compliments from her group, the Eighth Grade Blue Triangle. -Audrey Carnes one hundred eighteen Don? Beleve Mar Bi die Staff The Camera Club Come on-smile-up with the head-look a little to your left-now, that's right-snap! Such is the process in the picture snapping field. Central's Camera Club offers a held where one can find complete diversion and pleasing pastime, as well as acquiring a sense of beauty and an appreciation of art. Patterned after the old saying 'Practice makes perfect , the members ind that experiments are very helpful to their work. Central's students will often look up just in time to find themselves the object of the lens in the little black mystery box. Under the direction of the president, Jim Caton: vice president, Eric Schwartzg secretary, Jean Heinze: and treasurer, Nelda Mills, the club was supplied with a year of enlightening and interesting programs. Here the students learned, not only to develop and print pictures, but also to understand the mechanics of the camera, chemical reactions of the negative, the fixation process, and the liquiding technique. One week, experiments were conducted in enlarging under the supervision of Phil Wehinger, an older member of the club. At another meeting, projection slides borrowed from a photographic manufacturing company furnished the group with illustra- tions on how to take better pictures. The club planned many field trips in order to gather some basic experience in picture- taking. During the year the club took trips to some of the local studios, engraving plants, and the photographic department of our newspaper, in order to View commercial photography in action. The plans for next year include, along with their instructional meetings, the taking of all Annual Mirror pictures and the developing and printing of them in the new darkroom, which is being outfitted in Central this year-quite a huge undertaking, but one which will not stop the Camera Club. E. L. Huber, club advisor, is to be congratulated for a very successful year. ' -Elaine Wening Row 1-Barbara Taylor, Margaret Watkins, Jean Heinze, Jo Ann McClain, Waneta Kohler, Lenore Merritt.

Affzlefes of Me First Deg ee Dragons Athletic Club Who was Samson, anyhow? Since this is an athletic club, the Dragons A. C. is a boys' club exclusively. Because the meetings were held on Monday evenings at 7:30 p. m., many of the boys were members of other clubs as well as the Dragons. As is the custom of several other clubs in Central, this group held elections twice this year. Those who served the first semester were Kenneth I-larrod, president: Dana Aukerman, vice presi- dent: Jim Bean, secretary and treasurerg and Bill Snook, sergeant-at-arms. Elected to serve in the second term were Norman Brentlinger, president: Danny Easton, vice president: Ted Short. secretary and treasurer: and Walter Koch, sergeant-at-arms. The club was well represented in the intramural wrestling andi boxing contests this year. Some of those who entered these contests were Jim Bean, Earl Frysinger, Norman Brentlinger, Don Frail, Bob Placie, Bob McCluer, and Walter Koch. Many of them were fortunate enough to win their medals. One of the unusual things attempted by the group was the production of a play with all the members as actors. The play, Cast Up By The Sea, was written and directed by Jim Rex. Throughout the year the club has had a varied and interesting program. During several meetings the boys played basketball with teams from Bath and Cairo townships and the Central Reserves. Jim Bean was the club's ping pong champion. Following a precedent established last year, the club contributed to the entertainment between halves at home basketball games with a boxing exhibition and a free-for-all. Since the founding of the club in 1938, success is due directly to R. E. Dotson, physical education teacher and able supervisor of the group. -Bob Hill one hundred twenty Call Mem Bibhbpbies If You like The Library Club Interested in being a librarian? Ever since 1931 there has existed in Central the Library Club, which teaches the principles of this work. Although in past years there were approxi- mately twenty-five members, this year the club has a membership of forty future librarians. This represents the trend of the modern miss toward business. ln this club knowledge is really put into practice since it is the girls themselves who run the library. The duties of the girls are charging and discharging books, shelving and arranging them, collecting library permits, reporting absences to study hall, recording lines, making out line and over due notices, keeping the books in repair and magazines in order, and locating and marking reference books. The purpose of this club, which meets every first and third Wednesday, is to give members practical training in high school library work. The girls receive one-fourth credit for their efforts besides having the opportunity of learn- ing library work from experience. During the year a new constitution was drawn, games were played and a Christmas party was held. Book Week is a red-letter week for these girls and their leaders because at this time many novel ideas are put into effect. One particularly outstanding project was that of dressing small dolls to represent certain books or main characters such as Cinderella. As club officers the following were elected: Sylvia Sawyer, a senior who did her best to aid the club and help the new members, most of whom were freshmen, to better understand and enjoy the club, president: Gloria Conrad, vice presidentg Patricia Witham, secrctaryg Mary Walker, treasurer: and Marilyn Gebert, sergeant-at-arms. A newcomer, Nathan Dubester, ably served as supervisor of this energetic organization. Congratulations and best wishes for continued success to Nathan Dubester and the Library Club. -Audrey Carnes Row 1-Marilyn Gebert, Gloria Conrad, Sylvia Sawyer, Pat Witham, Mary Walker.

The fact that the girls terest in the club proves that the art of making things is not entirely dedicated' to the An Industrial Arts Club was organized in 1922 as the Radio Club and later as Club and then the Coach Club. In l930 it was called the Airplane Club for those in flying, airplane motors, navigation, planes and meteorology. Then in 1934 it was charter by the Student Council under its present name, the Industrial Arts Club. masculine show in- boys. the Boat interested granted a The club, possibly the most enjoyed and popular one in junior high school, was organized so the boys and girls could get more experience and for those who did not take industrial arts, If you are in doubt as to the skill of its members drop around and see some: of the articles they have made such as tie racks, book ends, book shelves, foot stools, corner shelves, paper weights, lamps, and end tables. The members who guided the club in its business for the past year were president, Dick Sislerg vice president, Janet Percy: secretary, Dick Cotner: treasurer, Lois Culp: publicity, Louise Stallbohm and Pauline Wilkes. Certain ones were appointed to take care of supplies and see that everything was cleaned up and put away. The members meet in Room 151 every Wednesday at the club period. Here they finish projects they have started in class or start on new ones. They work with wood, metal tapping. molds, and Wood burning. Much of the success of the club is due to the efforts of Lewis B. Miller of the Industrial Arts Department. -Jim Roeder one hundred twenty-two The Men Refund ffze Scenes Stage Club Although the boys behind the scenes are seldom thought of, they deserve the highest praise for their part in each production. Naturally if alll the members were on the stage at once, it would complicate operations. Therefore it has been necessary to limit the membership to sixteen. From these sixteen a smaller group was chosen for each production, giving all the boys an equal chance. This crew was chosen by the head stage manager. Officers this year were as follows: John Neely, head stage managerg Art Neeth, assistant stage manager: and Merlin Kohli, secretary and treasurer. As these boys were responsible for all assemblies and all class and club plays, they were kept very busy. Quite a bit of their spare time was spent repairing and renewing old scenery. If something new was needed for a play, the boys made it. In other words, after the play was selected, they made the scenery lit it. It was necessary that the crew be present at all rehearsals to coordinate sound effects and lighting with the spoken word. Practice makes perfect. After the presentation it was not unusual to find the crew working until late cleaning the stage and storing the scenery in the attic. Some of their weekly meetings were spent in discussing maintenance problems, while others were utilized by stage work. When the Central Stage Club was founded in 1936, it was with the idea of gaining practical experience in view. Whenever the boys were stumped, they could be found discussing their problems with Stanton Steiner and Albert Smith, the co-advisors of the group. It has been a custom of the club to have an annual banquet at a local hotel toward the end of the year. -Bob Hill Row 1-Bob Spees, Don Slaybaugh, Bill Hay.

Central, however, is doing her best to revive them with its Spelling and Penmanship Clubs. Under the leadership of president, Jane Rousculp: vice president, Rhoda Pageg secretary, Doris Steger: treasurer, Louella McClain: and spelling chairman, Jean Jereiw, the Spelling Club held a good old fashioned Spelling Bee every second and fourth week of the school year. At the initial meeting, the group was divided into two teams, the Buckeyes and the Lima Beans. At each meeting after that, the teams spelled against each other. At the end of the year the side which came out with the least wins to its credit was forced to plan a party for the other side, the money taken from the treasury. The club has an exceptionally large membership, which proves that spelling is not forgotten lore. The Penmanship Club, starting out with only ten members and finally increasing to twenty- two, spent its meetings becoming able to be writers of a beautiful hand. President, Mary June Marquis, vice president, Mary Lou Wheelerg secretary, Betty Ruff: treasurer, Shirley Lammers: reporters, Dick Basinger and Dorothy Wink, and supply clerk, Harold Knupps altogether man- aged to keep the members busy and interested. The meetings were held informally, each member doing as he pleased with advanced writing books, lettering pens, colored chalk and colored inks. The group was divided into two teams: the one with the most points to its credit at the end of the year received a small prize. Points were earned by bringing new members and turning out accurate, neat-looking writing papers. The club had social hours including a Christmas Party. during which writers forgot their penmanship and had a good time. As long as this club keeps up its good work, it looks as if Central's hand writing will steadily improve. Miss Frances Overman, advisor of the Spelling Club, and Miss Clara Helle, advisor of the Penmanship Club, have done an excellent job in reviving those almost forgotten arts. -Elaine Wening x . v one hundred twenty-five one hundred twenty-six Hgh Ideals WWI Clean liwhg Junior and Senior Hi-Y Checkers, table tennis, swimming--sound interesting? What club is it? Why, it is the Junior and Senior Hi-Y in the Boys' Lobby of the Y. M. C. A., meeting on Monday or Tues- day evenings at seven-thirty. The Hi-Y, an international organization was founded in England by a shopkeeper. Each new member induced another' to join until it became a great organization. It is symbolized by the white cross in a red triangle filled in with blue. The motto selected for the club is, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the high standard of Chris- tian character. Throughout the year the club has presented a benencial and interesting program. Citizen- ship in Democracy was the topic of the first annual conference of the eighth district Hi-Y clubs held at Trinity Church. Paul Barret, personnell manager of the Ohio Oil Company of Findlay. was the speaker. In a series of talks on colleges, W. D. Larrick spoke on, You want to go to Ohio State g H. W. Scheuerman, assistant principal, on, Scholarships and Working Our Way Throughng Professor D. R. Lowman, of Ohio Northern, on A'Comparison of College and High School. A series was presented on Youth and National Defense , started by Judge R. P. Smith and later turned over to the club for discussion: and another series on Vocational Guidance . Among the non series topics was a discussion on Boy-Girl Friendship led by Reverend Neil Dow Newlin, minister of the Congrega- tional Christian Church: a talk on Safety by Ser- geant Miller: and a talk on his trip to Mexico by Rev- erend S. M. Davidian. The Junior Hi-Y club heard Judge Raymond P. Smith speak on 'iJuvenile Delin- quency : Morgan Jones, football coach of Central. on Football : Rex Settle- mire, basketball and base- ball coach, on Baseball : and a round table discus- sion of the election, Roos- evelt vs. Willkie . The presiding ofiicers for the Senior and Junior Hi-Y were, respectively, John Eisley, and Dick Zim- merman, president: Don Ammon and Arthur Vit- tur, secretary: Bill Turner and John Reed, treasurer: Merlin, Kohli, sergeant-at-arms. The supervisor of the Junior club was Franklin Laman. If. by any chance, you should enter Room 258 during the club period on either the irst or the third Wednesday of the month, the future Junior and Senior Hi-Y members, namely Junior High Hi-Y, would greet you. As the name implies, the club is composed entirely of seventh and eighth grade boys, all out for the good time to be had at their meetings. The types of meetings were varied from time to time: sometimes there were discussions led by oliicers and members, and sometimes lectures by Morgan Jones, Ronald Dotson, Floyd Overholser, or Rex Settlemire, the athletic directors of Central. At an early meeting the thirty-five members of the club elected the following officers: Bill Woody, president: Bill Placie, vice president, Dave Neth, secretary: and Flvyd Patterson, 1123811 ICI. Behind the scenes. helping the boys in their discussions and assisting them both inside and outside the school, was the friend and supervisor of the group, E. C. Ulrick. If this group continues in the future as it has in the past, the future of all the Hi-Y clubs in Central is assured forever. one hundred twenty-seven -Bob Hill DIAMONDS WATCHES X' sxs v v V If , .xnxx , ..- S K.
