March l 7, l '74 3 liellow Americans: How happy you must he to live in a country like our own America. Vy'e are proud of our country because we have the right to rule ourselves and make our own choices. Our freedom def pends upon that right, lhe Dictator in a totalitarian state tells people what to do. whom to vote for, what to believe. He controls the press. radio, schools, churches, and all organs of society. Here in America we fought a revolution to gain the right to choose our own rulers. levy our own taxes. and erect our own temples. XVe believe you will strive as young citizens to maintain and keep the four freedoms as a part of your own heritage. We treasure the right to freedom of speech. freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. We shall always strive to keep them as an essential part of our American heritage for future generations yet unborn. We want our children to be unafraid and walk the paths of liberty and know the beauty of a land their fathers made. Joy lilmer Morgan says, Victories in war and peace are not won by commissions but by men of purpose. skill. initiative, and courage. The youth in this class will soon be the adults who mine the ore, make the steel. fashion the weapons, fly the planes, negotiate the treaties, and build the future. You are among the best trained in our land. Much is expected of you, You will not fail, Vvle shall have no fear of the future so long as your parents. our citizenry, and our hoard of liducation provide a system of public education conducive to the welfare of our community, state, and nation. ln behalf of the Board of lfducation and myself l extend our heartiest congratulations for your successful achievements in the last twelve years and our best wishes for a life of service and happiness in all your endeavors after school.

First our dodo must go through several weeks of ground school, roughly corresponding to our junior high school. Then follows actual flight training-first in slow training planes with his in- structor: then alone in souped-up jobs in which he learns stunting and other fine points of the game. Throughout his training, his progress is carefully checked by instructors at the cost of hours of concentrated study, work, worry, and gray hairs. Here the comparison between training for flight and training for life dove- tails very closely. It is the heavy responsibility of our administration, depart- ment heads, and faculty to graduate well-trained, thinking, American citizens just as flying instructors must turn out cool, skillful, perfectly-coordinated flyers. Such a job is by no means a routine flight assignment. Not only must our instructors prepare for their job for many, many arduous months and receive a college degree, but also they must attend teaching courses through the summer months in order to learn the new, improved ways of batting some sense into our benumbed brains. They must grade stacks of examination papers far into the night, deciphering the handwriting of many of them with the aid of slide-rule, microscope, and telepathy. Truly, it must have been a high school English teacher, haunted by the ghost of many a com- position, who quipped: The pause that refreshes-a comma in a senior theme. In wartime, the teachers' tasks are doubly dificult. Teachers are caught at a disadvantage by the increased cost of living. They are expected to contribute a large share of their spare time to direct intensified extra-curricular activities of the students, and to aid in the rationing program-all without compensation. But so far all we have done is to point out the. disadvantages, woes, trials, and tribulations encountered by our flight instructors which is a one-sided presentation of the matter. For the most part they receive a spiritual compensation far in advance of any material reward. The coaches and physical education teachers have the satisfaction of seeing gangling, flabby, awkward bodies being transformed into lithe, proportioned strength and grace. The mathematics and science teachers make minds clear, accurate, logical, and concise. Other minds are broadened, made interpretive and creative under the influence of art, literature, music and languages. Our instructors are doing their level best to teach us to fly high and fly well. Through us they try to build a better social order. Let us not let them, or our- selves, down. Let's fly high! -CHARLES GRADY -3.- iol.D.-X ADAMS- B. S. llducation.

So it is with our seventh and eighth grade students. They mttst be fttlly trained and prepared before going into senior high school. While on the ground a plane goes throttgh many and varied tests before it is allowed to take ofl' on a long flight. A pilot checks the controls. weather. fuel pumps, and charts before he even thinks of flying. Our young Centralites must take this valuable tip and pttt it to good use. So far. they have made an excellent showing in scholastic work and activities. bttt they mttst not forget that. as yet. they hayen't begttn to get ofl' the ground. The writer of this article is making an optimistic statement when he says that the seventh and eighth grade students are studying now for post war problems. The seventh grade class upon first entering our fine institution of higher knowledge ran abottt like frightened deer, Some scampered about, their faces beaming with smiles and one thought in their minds--finally going to high srhool. Another group scurried hither and yon with bewilder- tnent written on their faces. Everything was too new to this group to catch on to all the kinks of school. They thought they were lower than a freshman until they heard a remark uttered by some nasty person that a senior wasthe lowest form of humanity. l.ast, bttt not least, the third group walked slowly about, a look of despair on their faces. thinking what they would do if they ever found the rascal that statted schools. The class of lf?-17. eighth graders to the world. had the glorious feeling of at least being superior to someone. When one of our plebes would approach the lofty yearling in at distressed manner inquiring as to the whereabouts of a room. their question would be answered very politely. The most common answer would be, It's on the third floor. NVhat's the matter, bub, don'tcha know anything? After completing this retort. our superior eighth grader would tttrn away with a fast garb and smile openly, a warm glow in his chest. Although there was a small amount of rivalry between these two groups. there was a w.trm feeling of comradeship that bound the two together. Helping each other the way they did helped to create a fine school spirit. Selling and buying of war stamps and bonds was one of the many things they did in commendable style. Often they came close and sometimes exceeded the stamp sales of the upper classmen. As young as they are. they seemed to realize the importance of winning the war and the sacrifices and problems which had come before them. Their student cottncil representatives. Sally Collins. sventh: liranklin Miller. eighth: have given them many helpful suggestions concerning aid in the war effort and other activities of the school to be carried on by the junior high side. One of the ftrst important accomplishments performed at the beginning of the year was to elect class oflicers.

M.31.4 Taking Qff The feelings of a student pilot at one of Uncle Sam's flying schools- as he nervously grasps the stick for his first take-off might well be compared to the emotions that fill the breast of one of Central's fledglings as he enters for the Hrst time his classrooms here on the senior side of the school. He's just a bit nervous and jumpy, of course. He's just been pushed around in the hall by .1 group of impressive-looking, almost godlike seniors. He wonders how his new flying in- structors will like him: whether he will successfully gain altitude or go into a disastrous ground-loop. His feelings are understandable. We were all freshmen once, even though we may hate to admit it. Generally speaking, a freshman is a rather low animal. He is despised and shunned. treated like a doormat, an outcast, a thing to be kept out of sight when company comes to call. The freshman has been variously compared to a benighted heathen, a weasel. a puppy, and a fall-guy. His position in modern civilization is comparable only to that of the serfs of the middle ages or the helots of ancient Sparta. Fellow upperclassmen, how long shall this gross injustice be allowed to endure, I ask you? Are we not dedicated to the principles of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity? Shall we continue to grind beneath our heel this unfortunate minority? Shall we permit this blot upon our escutcheon to go uncleansed, like a gravy stain upon the ancient and honorable vest of Hoople? Never, fellow upperclassmen, never? I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give the freshmen liberty or give me a double lime coke, no ice ..... All joking aside. we think that Central is particularly fortunate in having such a fine group of prospective aviators and aviatrixes making up our Class of 1946. Under the leader- ship of a new supervisor. Miss Alice Toomey, this class has distinguished itself in many patriotic endeavors, at times outdistancing the rest of the student body. Oflicers for the year were Jean Hull, president: Robert Good, vice president: Marilyn Tinder, secretary: and Jane Miller, treasurer. -CHARLES GRADY Freshman Class Officers President, ------ Jean Hull Vice President - - - Robert Good Secretary - - Marilyn Tintler Treasurer - - Jane Miller Supervisor ---- Miss Alice Toomey .-.MWMK .M Qs at .,,t,k, New .sr .M at X t Q , Rfb V3-was-.Nt.e R s M... - ft' H if at N , -. ffi .--fflfi?-i-f- I -f . . . . . - . . - - .....

So it is with our sophomore class. This class is beginning to see through the haze of life and its work. While a plane is climbing, the pilot has the glorious feeling of power and freedom. He's getting away from the earth and all its troubles: beginning to work and think for himself, the feeling of being able to master' things enters the pQot's head. He's all alone. No one tells him to do this and that or this is right or wrong. Alone he acts like a new born babe seeing things for the first time or like a small child taking its first steps, solo-cautiously, slowly, and patiently but eventually reaching its goal. Our sophomore class is slowly but surely gaining altitude and before long they will reach their service ceiling. They have made quite a splendid record scholastically and in their activities. Many of the players on our varsity football team come from this class, and general spirit toward sports is something to be commended. Some of these young Dragons who have seen a fair amount of action are Don Sebaskes, Art Orchard, George Sheckelhoff, Paul Vucovich, Charles Ridenour, Allan Willoughby, Dick Bloom, and Bill Baigle. Members of the basketball team are Don Sebaskes, Charles Townsend, Victor Martin, George Sheckelhoff, Bill Woody, Ote Rasor, Frank Bonfiglio. Bob Sisler, Wilbur Swineford, and Bob Freeman. Since physical fitness happens to be the most important part of the war program, this class is well prepared. Climbing toward the skyway of fame, our young troupers of the stage presented Neighbors by Appointment. The cast included Mary Frances Morris, Jean McDonald, Dick Sisler, Herman Bronfen, and Barnett Greenhow. Representing their class on the student council were Bob Berry, Wilbur Swineford, Tom Roess. and Nancy Heil. These students helped to sell war stamps and bonds. Class officers were duly elected with Dick Cotner, president: Don Sebaskes, vice president: Bob Aukerman, treasurer: and Sue Thomas, secretary. Before the school term was completed Sue Thomas moved to North Carolina: hence the sophomore class went thru the remainder of the year without a secretary. Dubbed often as the in-between class, these sophomores will enter junior home rooms next school year with an air of superiority. Although this year they are quite decidedly above the freshmen: nevertheless there is a feeling of despair at the sound of the word upperclassmen. They have braved. so to speak. winds, storms, rain, fog, and many other setbacks to reach this goal, but the road to success isn't an easy one. Before their flight is over they will encounter many more setbacks, but each year's experience should enable them to toss aside their difficulties and continue on their way. As this group of prospective juniors reach their fifth stage of flying, we wish them the best of luck and hope that they will continue to be the enthusiastic students that they have been in previous years. --JOHN PLETCHER Sophomore Class Officers President ----- Dick Cotner Vice President - - - Don Sebaskes Secretary - - Bob Aukerman Treasurer - - Sue Thomas Supervisor - - Miss Ruth Kelvhart ,fav tx X X RX SX i 1 VVVV - .

Although the term flying high can be interpreted in two ways. they must remember there is still a final stage in their training before graduation. They have completed their basic training and are preparing to take over the roll of senior pilots next year. On entering Hangar 307 for final instruction. they will be fully equipped to take over the work and problems that might confront them during that period. Altogether too many boys are getting restless because of this war. They want to enlist and see some action. or they just take the attitude that studying is useless because they soon will be in the service. This is all wrong. If this class will keep up the fine calibre of work that they have done in previous years. the war won't seem quite so complex. The class of '44 has a better chance of helping in military and civilian life than does the present senior class. Time for planning is the favorable factor lying in their path. While this war is raging. the junior class should study it from all sides including post-war problems. They should fly into the dark clouds of uncertainty. observing. studying, and reasoning until the haze lifts. the path becomes clear. and they become certain of their next move. Students of the junior class whose eighteenth birthdays are before the first of September have the golden opportunity of taking preeinduction courses, which will undoubtedly benefit them in military or civilian life: this same opportunity was open to the senior class. When these stu- dents linish next year's courses. they will be quite capable of taking over a war job. Many of the boys will find oflicers' candidate schools easier: and someday. who knows. we may hear of a former Central graduate being promoted to the rank of general. Central has considerable talent when it comes to acting. In various plays presented by the Troubadourian Club our junior members were quite active. When it came time for the junior class play they out-did themselves by presenting a fine comedy Goodnight Ladies. The cast included Helen Haas. Faye Miner, Richard Riggs, Dan Kirlin. June Stemen. Carol Creps, Jim Berry. Richard Reeder, l.uella McClain. Dave Cox, Joyce Cotner, and Marilyn Gebert. The gridiron braves and nimble loop players were respectively Bill Fredricks. Earl lioltz, Virgil Conner, Milton Neely, Art Bowdle, Jack Bennett and Jack Maisch. Harold Cook, Bill Collins and lired Bremer. Though. several of these athletes may not be with us next year because ol' the present conflict: we hope that the remaining boys will go out and fight with the same determination on the gridiron or basketball court as the boys will be doing on the battleheld. Juniors making their voices heard in the student government were l.ou Anna Hennon, Harold Stump, Bill Allman, Joyce Jones, Marjorie McJilton, Jim Coolahan. Cheerleaders from this class who made the supreme sacrifice of yelling themselves hoarse for the old alma mater were Carol Creps, Val.aire Rilee. Fred Butler, and Harold Stump. Junior class ofhcers were Dave Cox. president: Janet Percy. vice president: Marilyn Gebert, secretary: and Jack Mahan. treasurer. Miss Bonita Jamison served as class supervisor. As our junior class starts on the last leg of their flight training. we sincerely hope that it proves to be the most enjoyable and profitable of the whole adventure, and we wish for them .1 safe journey and happy landings. -JOHN PIIITCIIITR Junior Class Officers President ------ Dave Cox Vice President Janet Percy Secretary - - Marilyn Gebert Treasurer - - - Jack Mahan Supervisor ---- Miss Bonita Jamison --.1 fl sis-. -...xxx ...S ws, iv nn fl ' ll 1 1 ' mnu Qi' I . jun, vi' '31 '.g--jf? ,. .'- - . . - ., 'ff T5 ,.., fIfi:Ii?5fff' X I Q5 W Q4 X- , . .-,.: -- ' ff-1:4-51'-'a..

He who would control others must first learn to control himself. 'l'ruer words were never spoken: self-control is the secret to success. On the strength of this fact we may base our conclusion that the four officers heading our graduating class of young fliers are paragons of self-control, Take Kenny Harrod. president, for an example. His position certainly calls for plenty of patience, tact, and self-control. Dignified, public-spirited, active, and popular, he transacts his business and goes on keeping himself in perfect check. Much of this is forgotten on the basket- ball court. however. There he fights like a lion and with the cunning and courage of a lion. Right behind him is Norman Brentlinger, self-controlled as always and ready to step into the breach for executive duty should Kenny be called away. At the desk with pencil. paper. and typewriter in hand fquite a trick if you can do ith sits Pat Roberts-cool, calm, and efficient. She does an excellent job of keeping herself and others under control though the reports, corre- spondence. and other papers be ever so tangled. Her secretarial job is complemented by the post of treasurer. filled this year by popular, vivacious .Ioan Lutes. Hanging on the wall of her imaginary office is this printed advice: Keep careful account of the pennies: the dollars will take care of themselves. Members of the senior class can rest easily. secure in the knowledge that all the shekels are under perfect control. All in all. this a pretty self-controlled little bunch.

They are ready now to fly with their elders, ready to fly to a better world. They will soon receive their wings, all taking off together for the great adventure, their solo flight. The class of 1943 has not been idle throughout its four-year period of existence: since the time their training began, they've been doing things, ac- complishing things, and incidentally, having a great deal of fun in the doing. They have seen the world change a great deal in the past four years. As fresh- men, they read in the newspapers and heard over the radio of the beginning of War, of the fall of Poland, and then of France. When sophomores, they watched the black tide of totalitarianism creeping slowly over the map of Europe. They were juniors when America was jolted rudely out of its complacency and thrust into the War, and as seniors they saw the United Nations slowly beginning to strike back, to regain their lost ground. They see now the shape of victory ahead and the promise of a better world in the days to come, and they know that they are the ones who have to win that victory and build that better world. Knowing this, many of our forward-looking, newly-made flyers have been preparing. Some have taken technical courses in modern Warfare, such as radio and aeronautics, and many have begun conditioning their bodies for combat. They have seen the classes preceding them sent off to fight with classes from W50M other nations. Some of their own number have already gone. They know that soon they too must become fighting men. Of course, this class, these future fighting men and women, have been active on the home front. They have bought war stamps, collected scrap, participated in war relief campaigns and formed the backbone of Central's air-raid protection organization. Certainly, they have done these things. What of it? Everyone else is doing much the same thing. These are things they are expected to do as a matter of course. No, the class of 1943 deserves no special credit for that. Here is some- thing they have done and are doing that deserves unlimited notice that some- thing includes not just Central's Class of 1943, but every other class of 1943 in the forty-eight states. The Class of 1943 has begun to think. Thinking is an intangible thing, to be sure, but a powerful thing. They know that war is a stupid. antique, unproductive instrument that must be outlawed by the estab- lishment of a lasting peace. They have learned that short-sighted, ostrich-like conservatism is the root of war, corruption, and injustice. Already they know more of geography, geopolitics, cause-and-effect and cooperation than most of their parents ever knew. Today's youth is liberal-minded and forward- looking, given for the most part to clean-cut, practical thinking. A famous Prophecy by Alfred Lord Tennyson seems to portray the ultimate triumph of the things for which the Class of '43 is striving. For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be: Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight. dropping down with costly bales: Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rained a ghastly dew From the nation's airy navies grappling in the central blue: Far along the world-wide whisper of the south wind rushing warm. With the standards of the peoples plunging through the thunderstorm: Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battleflags were furled In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. We need have no fear of what tomorrow's better world will be like, if our Class of 1943 has a hand in its building. -51-- The Last Will and Testament ol the Class ol 1943 We, the members of the 1942-43 Senior Class of Lima Central High School, being generally of sound mind and body, to the members of the Senior Class of 1943-44 do hereby render, bequeath, and bestow the following: Item. Home Room 307, with all its chattel properties-the valuable art objects, the wastebaskets, the pencil-Sharpeners, the huge globe of the world. the piano Con which no one ever playsl, the two great dictionaries, the dusty, studious light which cascades down through the skylight on sunny days: Item. A spirit of comradeship, of unity-that intangible spirit which makes Central's seniors a group working together for the common good and the common gloryg Item. The capacity for enjoying Mr. Stanton Steiner's witticisms: Item, The feeling of gratitude for Miss Ethel Stiles' and Miss Grace McClurg's never-failing patience and kindlinesss in their ministrations to their charges: Item. A Similar feeling of gratitude toward the entire faculty and admin- istration, for their help in getting us along the way-for the valuable time spent on us, and for the gray hairs received because of us: Item. The privilege of being at last the kingpins of the corridors-the social and intellectual elite of the student body, supreme in the ability to walk with dignity or to scamper with abandon. . . the feeling that at last you are grown up, ready to begin thinking and acting for yourself: Item. The quality of being infinitely able to enjoy ourselves at the proper place and time, mixed with the excellent faculty of perceiving when to walk soberly in the sight of our elders. And, in addition, we, the girls of the Class of 1943, bequeath to the underclasswomen the following: Item. The exclusive right to gaze upon their facial beauties, unobstructed and unhindered, in the great mirrors at the stair-landings, Item. We give them the courage to keep the home fires burning, till l'Johnny Comes Marching Home. Item. We give them our faith in our boys, our nation, our hopeful fu- ture, without relinquishing any of it ourselves. I And from us, the boys of '43, to the boys of '44, these things: ' Item. The fun of all kinds of sport--sport played cleanly and fairly, without rancor-sport the American way! F52- Item. The strength and courage and cunning of men who know that soon they'll have to fight their enemies-on land, in the air, and on the sea. This we impart to them without divesting ourselves of any of it: Item. An appreciation of the beauty, intelligence, wit, and charm of the girls in our class, along with respect for their accomplishments and integrity. And finally, to all of the future seniors, the following item: Confidence in our country, in our own ability to conquer whatever hazards may lie between us and the path of peace, just as our fliers have conquered the pull of gravitation as they fly the invisible paths of the air to victory. In witness whereof, in behalf of the Class of 1943, we, the duly elected oflicers of the class, hereby set our signatures: KENNETH HARROD president NORMAN BRENTLINGER vice president PAT ROBERTS secretary JOAN LUTES treasurer L, '-.E 1' i t 153-- Aerial photography l.

X 1 X4 Centralis Steamroller---the Big Red Any boy who goes out for football must bc prepared for many hard knocks. He must takc calisthenics, hit dummies, learn plays, and run and run. Also he must keep strict training, stay- ing away from girls, watching what he eats, and getting plenty of sleep. The rules are laid down by our coaching staff, who, by the way, are the youngest coaching in the state. The rules are rather strict but they must be, since a football player must be in the pinkest of condition. Now let us look into the life of a football player. First the football player must receive his uniform from the manager: then he gets his locker. After this comes conditioning-calis- thenics, races, and other muscle-building exercises. Looking deeper into this conditioning, we find that the players take calisthenics consisting of push-ups, sit-ups. back-bends, knee-bends, duck waddling, and such. Then he blocks and tackles, runs hundred yard dashes, and kicks and passes footballs. But this isn't alll Our man learns his plays and practices them till they are down to perfection. After this the different sections are put together. Again they go through their blocking assignments but this time all together. Day after day new plays and new drills are put before the boys. Each of these must be worked to perfection: then comes game time! Now the boys are heroes of the hour, and we find a line of feminine admirers a mile long waiting to see what a real football player looks like. Just before the Same the boys are sometimes nervous and usually show it. Corny jokes and banter relieves the tension. but soon all becomes quiet and. last minute instructions are received: then onto the field and to the game they go. This procedure goes on for a hard ten-game season. In this short article we have tried to show that the life of a football player is no bed of roses. Although we did not win all our games, we did break a jinx and an. old record between South and Central. The first is that well known Findlay jinx. The game looked like another Findlay victory, but soon the Dragons came from behind and showed Findlay what we can do. Our other game was with South. In this game a single scoring record of twenty-four points was set by Half-back Bob Bowman, and a game record of 34 to 6 was set by both teams. Although other games, whether won or lost, were good games, these two will be remembered for a long time by Centralites.

Edward Cinniger was the freshmen grid team's new coach, succeeding Walter Marshall, who is now in the army. These eighth graders joined the freshmen squad with some sixty other players. This large turnout showed the keen interest for the game in the lower grades. In fact, there were. so many boys out for the sport that for the first week they practiced with their own equipment! The first week, as usual, was the hardest. It was filled with calisthenics which the boys call six inches , stretching and charging. All this and running too helped to build the fine bodies and alert minds needed in the game of football. The final elimination must have been the coach's hardest chore, for all the boys were trying hard. However, no boy was completely eliminated for the season, for as some boys left for one reason or another other boys were taken on the squad. The first game was with the Columbus Grove varsity. Here the freshmen fought with ex- perienced gridiron players. They were overpowered and outplayed as well as out-weighed. Be- cause of these facts the freshmen squad lost their first game. The next game was played with the Shawnee reserves. In this game the Central freshmen suffered another defeat. Then played their old rivals, the freshmen Tigers of South High School, and won for the first time. A rather tangled incident took place before this game got under way. Both coaches got the place of the game mixed. Central freshmen were waiting for the Tigers at the park, while thc Figers were waiting for the Dragons at South. The coaches finally got the mix-up straightened out and the game was played. ln the return game with Shawnee Bob Pickering, captain of the squad, broke his arm, and was out for the rest of the season. The team gave Shawnee a tough battle but lost it. They again played the South freshmen and in this game Corinth Bankston was injured and thus out for the rest of the season. The Tigers won from the Dragons for the first time during the SCBSOII. In the last game of the season the freshmen were to play in the stadium against the varsity squad of Saint Rose. This game was very close with the half ending in a tie. In the third quarter Bob Kane intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown. Saint Rose made another touchdown soon after and tied the score, and thus the game ended. The freshmen players learned a lot about the game of football, and someday, we trust, will be fighting on the varsity squad. The freshmen basketball team was also coached by Ed Cinniger. The season opened with some forty-three boys out for the sport of basketball. Out of the forty-three. thirteen finished the season. The practice itself began with dribbling shots from all over the court. These shots are commonly called bunny shots by Coach Cinniger. After these shots the ninth graders were taught the fine art of basketball strategy. Their first game was played with Perry Township. They easily won this game by .i large score. Next came Shawnee freshmen. Here our freshmen took revenge for the two defeats handed to the freshmen football team. Their next opponent was Delphos Saint John's reserves. Central won in this game aiso. Then they played two games in a row with Delphos Jefferson. One game was played in Lima and the other at Delphos. Central won both of these games. The last game was with Central's rival, South. The Central team took this game from the Tigers. Defeating South was not only a great victory but also the sixth straight win for the freshmen. The freshmen tournament came next. Our team won their first game with Saint Marys but lost to Wapakoneta, the winner of the tourney.

Losing to Canton MeKinley in the semi-finals at the state tournament wasn't exactly a complete defeat. They fought and' played like Trojans. and in the minds of most who wittnessed this game, our boys were champs. Two members of the team, John Reed and Jack Maisch had the honor of being on the all state tournament team: also Jack Maisch made third team of the all-Ohio squad. Spending long hours each night practicing. training. and working never seemed to dampen the spirits of the boys. Just like a bus-driver who takes a bus ride on his day off. these young men could often be seen on week-ends practicing basketball. One thing particularly outstand- ing about the team this year was teamwork. There was no individual star scorer. Everyone had a chance of being high-point man for a game. Many times during a game one could see our players working the ball into an advantageous position so another man could easily hit the basket instead of sacrificing points for a personal glory. Coach Rex Settlemire remarked that this has been the finest all-around team he ever had. The team is composed of seven seniors and three juniors. To know more about these seniors let's look in the locker room and see who's who. There's a well built fellow with a heinie Ion second thought they all have heiniesb who the Coach says has improved more since his freshman year than any other fellow on the squad. This lad's name is Bill Kohler. Kenny Harrod. small. aggressive. and good to the last minute, does an admirable job as a guard. That tall boy with the mannish profile is John Reed who is a fast player. good shot. and very accurate ball handler. Tying his shoe strings is Dick Schurr. Although Dick saw little action, he is right in there all the time when it comes to relieving and supporting of the team. Completing his third year jumping center is Nick Vucovich. That red haired chap is Bill Brinkmeyer. who came from Elida. Bill is a good steady player and can always be relied upon. Next to Bill is Joe Dillon. Though Joe missed several games this season because of illness: nevertheless he played a smooth style of ball. Although long hours of practice and stiff training seemed unnecessary at times, it has helped these boys in two respects. First. the fine record they've made this year. and the other is that the majority of the boys who played this year will soon enter service for Uncle Sam with the same determination to win as they have shown this season. This year is the second time Coach Settlemire has taken a Central team to a state tournament since he first came here five years ago. The four teams that participated in the state finals were Lima Central. Canton McKinley, Newark. and Martins Ferry. Central drew McKinley and lost by a score of 44-40. Newark won over Martins Ferry and went right on to take the state championship. Completing the season with five wins and seven losses the Central reserve team chalked up another year of valuable experience. Although their season was not outstanding, the things they learned by these losses will be in their favor when playing varsity ball. Working hard to keep up with the varsity squad's record. our young Dragons practiced many hours. The boys that composed the team were young and lacked plaving experience which explains their lack of scoring power. Next vear we hope to see a great improvement. Members of the squad were Don Sebaskes. Fred Bremer. Jim Cox. Harold Cook. Bill Collins. Bill Woody, Ote Razor, Earl Foltz. Bob Sisler, Bob Freeman and George Schecklehoff. -JOHN PLETCIIIER.

Baby Dragons Bring Home Bacon The junior high basketball team was coached this year by Frank Laman, who took the place of George Novotny, their former coach now serving in the armed forces. Soon after Christmas vacation the team's practice started by teaching the young Dragons the plays and explaining the art of making a basket. The players practiced dribbling-in shots from all parts of the court. and practice usually ended with scrimmage. They played among them- selves except for one tussle with the freshmen team, a stiff opponent for these junior high play- ers. The junior high squad, however, were not triumphant. Because of the small gym, the eighth graders practiced first, as they were the real team. The eighth grade first string learned all the new plays, and then they were ready to take on the reserves. During this time the seventh graders paid close attention and tried to do the same things the eighth grade were doing. Boldly the seventh grade played in the eighth grade intramural league. In their first game the seventh grade were victorious over the eighth grade Pirates, and in the second game they again won over the eighth grade Cards. The third game was with the champion eighth grade in- tramural team. In this game the seventh grade handed the Braves their first defeat of the season. This game was very close with the score tied most of the time. The seventh grade won by three points. After taking first place, the struggle for the seventh grade was to keep it. But misfortune overtook the team, and they lost to the eighth grade intramural team called the Reds by a close score. After this defeat they lost again to the Pirates by an even closer score. These losses made a three way tie, and a regular tournament was staged to pick the winner. The result was that the seventh grade emerged victorious. The eighth grade played the regularly scheduled games for the junior high. They started their season with a victory over Lafayette. In another game with Bath Township they suf- fered their first defeat. Their last game was with the freshmen first string players. In this game the eighth grade, after a hard struggle. lost to their opponents. This loss was hardly a disgrace to the. team as the freshmen had a sharp squad this year. The seasons results were that the eighth grade team won one game and lost two. and the seventh grade team won four and lost three during their season. -HARVEY BASINGISR. ...6 2- Row 1--Bill Fisher, Joan Thompson, Joan Ltltes, Hrttee Harris Row 2-Carol Crt-ps. l':tt Roberts. Vat Luirt- Rilt-e. Nature in the Rabi Yea Teaml I.et's Gof Vkfho are those snappy boys and girls rushing out in front of this boisterous crowd assembled at the game? Do they try to calm them down? No. they ask them to yell louder. Of coursef We realize now that they are cheerleaders. Their job is to keep the spectators making as much noise as possible, enough noise so that our athletes can hear and know that we're behind them all the way. They show us how to cheer all through the football and basketball seasons, and then their jobs are done. However we are not to think that their part at an athletic contest is easy, for they have to practice too. There is just one newcomer to the ranks of the varsity cheerleaders this year. He is a small boy with a large capacity for cheering. I.ast year he led cheers for South High School but came into the Central's district this year. It was only after a great deal of persuasion that he joined Central's troupe. Everyone at Central knows Bruce Harris. Bill Fisher. now cheering the boys on for his second year, is Bruce's partner. The two girls that make up the rest of the varsity squad are bright and happy Joan Thompson and Joan l.utes. The two .loans keep up the morale of Central's fighting men. When such a group as this goes to town on the grid-iron or on the basketball court. we are not able to hear the rumble of a bass drum. Practically every combination that can be made from the four members is used at different times to add variety. l7or tbe few who have never seen them in action we shall describe their appearance. 'l'beir neat uniforms are red and white. red skirts and trousers, white sweaters, and small beanies for the girls. The thick sweaters ate adorned with a large C upon a green megaphone. XVhat would happen if one of the varsity squad was to be absent for one reason or another? The answer to that is in the reserve squad. They train as the others do so that they can fill in for just such an emergency. The alternates are Pat Roberts, Carol Creps and Va l.aire Riley. V 'I'Rt4vott Ctmifa.

This phrase is on the lips of every red-blooded American when the ice starts to melt and Old Man Winter retreats into the north-land. Every little town and village is out in the field batting and throwing baseballs. At Central High School we have a very fine base- ball team. Every night after school we see them trudging toward the City Park for practice. They do a great deal of training under a very capable coach, Rex Settlemire, who has also guided our basketball team through many successful seasons since he has been here. Now here is a review of the boys who worked hard to earn their varsity letters. Dana Aukerman was successful in holding the number two sack during the season. Dick Bishop pulled clown his C for a splendid job as the all important short-stop. Oscar Bonnell was catcher at first. but an unfortunate accident resulting in the injury of a finger shoved him to the outfield where he finished the season. At the strategic first base. Joe Dillon stopped them cold and showed good timing and coordination in catching and tossing. Bill Kohler faithfully played the third sack. Charles Kennedy. known as Chubbles, spent the season catching flies fand we don't mean house fliesl in right field. This isn't a very romantic post on the team, but it is important. Jack Maisch, Central's best all-round athlete. filled two positions. The boy either caught or pitched and did excellent work in both. What would Central do wi-thout Big Jack? With a straight arm and a true eye. John Reed helped pitch Central's team through a glorious season with very few losses. Pitching was John's speciality and he had it down pat. Every team must have more than one pitcher because a pitcher's arm must be protected from strain and injury: this would happen if he were to pitch continually. Nick Vucovich, an ex- cellent exponent of mound technique. was another member of Central's ball club. When Oscar Bonnell journeyed to outfield, Paul Reigle took up his post behind the plate and finished the year in his position. stopping the hurtling baseballs as they flew straight over the plate. Ray Shook played an uninterrupted game in centerfield. where he pursued his duties with precision and dispatch. Ben Green did a beautiful job of fielding and was Central's outstanding home-run king. Another member of the team who does his share of work but gains very-little of the credit is the student manager. Melroy Aldrich was the boy who filled this position and won his C award. Central dropped only two games, one to Marion Harding during the season and the other to South High School in the second game of the tournament. Another spring sport that boasted a good club this past year was the track team. This group ran. leaped. jumped, threw. and vaulted their way to athletic laurels. Head coach for this stalwart group of boys was Ronald Dotson, who is now in his country's armed forces. Morgan Jones and George Novotny assisted him in his efforts to produce an efficient track machine. Track consists of various track and field contests among which are the l00.200,770, 880 yard dashes, the relays. the discuss throw. the shotput, the pole vault, the high jump, and the broad jump. In each event the winner is given three points: the second man. two points: the third. one. The team with the most points is the winner. To win a letter in track a tracketeer must make twenty points. The boys that successfully ran or jumped their way to twenty points were Bob Bowman, Ronald Rone, Tom Cain, Tom Buchanan, Earl Frysinger, Elbert Kirkpatrick, Tom Leech. and Paul Wright. The managers are the boys that clean up and do all the dirty work. For their diligent service they also were awarded letters. .Tack Doty and George Baka received their C's as managers of the track team. --TREVOR CRAIG.

It is not a game requiring much strength but a game where the players must have patience, a keen eye, and muscular coordination. In golf the player must use his own judgement more than in any other game. They may be shown the fundamentals. but each person has a different way of playing. Each player has different lengths to his shots. If a student were forty yards from the green, he might use a seven iron, while another student might use a fiva or light iron or even a flatiron! Because of this. each player must know his shots and play them well. For the benefit of the uninitiated, the contestants start from an appointed place called a tee. From here they drive the ball down toward the green. Every player attempts to hit the ball straight. but that is easier said than done. Sometimes he hooks the ball to the left or slices the ball to the right. If he is a good player and the hole a short one, his first shot should land on the green or very close. When on the green the object is to drop the ball into the cup. a small hole dug in the ground. This procedure of playing is repeated for nine or eighteen holes, until the poor golf ball is ready to give up from exhaustion. Another interesting thing is that the players are rated according to their ability-that is. the first man, the best golfer on the team, plavs the opponents high man. The same thing holds true with second, third, fourth. and fifth man. If a player has a lower score than his opponent on a certain hole, he wins the hole. The person winning the most holes wins the first nine. The second nine is scored in the same man- ner. There are eighteen holes in all-a long and wearly trek. The men who won the honors in golf were as follows: Hank Timmerman, Dick Grainger, Ray Maley. and Jack Mahan. The golf team played its home games and practiced at Shawnee country club. The Central team was coached by Mr. Morgan Jones. All told. the golf team won five and lost seven games. -HARVEY BASINGER. Our Invincible Racqueteers Here is another game requiring great skill and speed. It is a hard. fast game with many different types of shots set up for the different types of plays. The object is to keep the opponents on the run and to keep after his shots. Two types of games are played. singles and doubles. Directed by Coach Wade Kraner, the team had an outstanding season with the first game a victory over Bluffton. In the second game the team handed a defeat to Sidney and then to Columbus North. The fourth game was played with South: this game was won by Central. Then started the return matches wlienx the defeated teams came back for revenge. Columbus North was again beaten as were Sidney andAiSouth High School. The Central team did not lose a single game but won seven straight victories. The letter men were Jim Waltematlt. Bob Creviston, Norman Bergdell, Kenneth Harrod. James Zapp. and Bill Davies and Jack Blackburn, managers.

We may laugh at this but it is only too true. The coaches worry about the players, plays, and forthcoming games. Someone has said that a coach leads a dog's life. Let us look at some of the things that a coach has to worry about. First he worries about the condition and personnel of his team: keeping up their spirits and getting across all the points they need in their games is a big task. The style of the play or system he is going to use has to be drilled into the head of every player, and the coach has to see that his players remember it. After this comes the game which they have planned and practiced for. The night before the game we'll find a coach wondering if he forgot to tell the players anything and if the boys will play as he knows they can. But this is not all! Next comes the game which may prove to be a happy or sad affair. But. no matter what the decision of the game, new faults are found, new plans are made, and injuries are patched up. We may ask why a man takes up coaching. In the first place it is a living, in the second place the coach loves the sport he is coaching no matter how difficult the task may be, and third he always tries to better himself and his team in his chosen field. For these reasons we should give our coaches and all coaches a clap on the back and hope that all their plans will come to a successful conclusion. Our coaching staffs this year were made up of the following men: Robert Shertzer, John Zimmerman, Frank Hanna and Edward Cinniger, football: Rex Settlemire, Floyd Overholser. and Edward Cinniger, basketball: John Zimmerman, track, Rex Settlemire, baseball. -MIKE DAVIDIAN. Hln Which We Serven Like a coach, a manager leads a dog's life. Ask the man who is one! It is a well known fact among managers that long before their particular season starts they will be blamed for every- thing and anything and will get credit for almost nothing. Why then, we ask, does anyone want to be a manager? There are two simple answers to this question. First of all he loves the sport and wants to be near it, but for some reason he can't actually participate. Second, although he may be blamed for a good many things he doesn't go, down deep he knows he is filling an important position on the team. It is agreed among all managers that the most tiring and difficult sport to manage is foot- ball. Taking this into account, we'll look at an average week in the dog's life of a forgotten football manager. During the practice week he may be on the field with the team or in the manager's room keeping the game and practice equipment in good condition. Thursday evening is the time to pack for the Friday game. No matter how much is packed, there is almost always something forgotten. The only rule to follow is to pack everything in sight and sometimes, some things that aren't in sight. Anything that may go wrong or be forgotten is usually blamed on the head manager, and he in turn blames his assistants. In time the blame finally reaches the freshman manager. A game is rarely seen by a manager because he is continually on the move. A football man- ager may be helping the coaches scout from the stands, while a basketball manager is busy charting the game from the bench. If anyone thinks either of these jobs is easy, try it sometime. Perhaps the most disagreeable job of any manager takes place the night after the game. No dances or parties for him! The entire crew ofmanagers are unpacking uniforms and preparing them for the laundry until the wee hours of the morning. After all of this is finished. there is the cold trudge home because the buses have stopped running. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Naturally the managers like to have a good time. They fight, play games, lock each other into lockers, and finally end up in the showers. Such is the life of a dog. The following managers served our various sports this year: football, Mike Davidian, Walter Bowman, Wilbur Swineford, and Tom Roberts: basketball, Walter Koch, Bill Ralston. and Bill Rex: track, Jack Doty and George Baka: and basketball, Malroy Aldrich and Ronald Theising. -MIKE DAVIDIAN. -59-- 3-.

During the year the club holds dances and sells refreshments at the basketball games. This money is used for a banquet or picnic for all the members at the end of the Year. The club itself is under the supervision of the school and has as a faculty advisor, Mr. Emerson Seitz. The association has a constitution. initiation ceremonies, and certain principles for which it stands. It is much like any other club except that the membership is limited. Most students do not appreciate the requirements that make these boys eligible for membership. I.et us take an imaginary student whom we will call John Mathews. As a freshman John went out for football. He spent many a cold, wet, dreary night on the field learning blocks. tackles and other plays. Here he spent evening after evening doing push-ups, duck waddle, stomach toughening, and etc. During this time he sees no girls but to say, I-lello! How are you? Goodbyelflu John might he .1 star and get his letter at the end of his freshman season, but let's say he didn't. After football we would think he'd take a rest but not our John. Out he goes for basket- ball. Again night after night he practices on the court, getting basketball sense, learning the right way to shoot, pivoting, faking, and also setting up shots. By this time John has very little to do with girls, for the two do not mix. After basketball comes a variety of sports. Among these are baseball. track, tennis, and golf. Now this is just one year of ground work for that varsity letter. Some boys have to do two or three years of such work before they get their coveted letter. During this time John may become a great athlete in one, two. or three of these sports. Of course, we wonder if he doesn't get enough reward and joy out of the cheers of the crowd. but we must also remember that as soon as the team loses a game it is, Down with John. John will probably have adoring girls and small hero worshippers following him. But the proudest moment of John's life is the first time he wears his C. The officers of the C Association for this year were Elbert Kirkpatrick. president: Nor- man Brentlinger, vice presidentp Kenneth Harrod, secretary-treasurer: and Dick Bishop. 5Cl'gC3l'lI-3E-3l'l'l1S. --Miiui DAVIDIAN. -70-- au.

FINAL EMBLEM GIRL-Pat Roberts. Cream of the Crop Throughout the room the spirit of excitement is noticeable: something is about to happen- something BIG! The school colors are visible everywhere. Red and green twined together forms a color combination that fairly shouts school spirit. Girls are seated everywhere-girls. girls. and more girls! The dishes have been cleared away and someone at the head of the table rises. All heads turn in this direction. Just what is this the description of? Why, the annual Girls' Ath- letic Association Banquet at which time the numerals, letters, and chevrons are awarded: and the final emblem winner is announced. Vv'hat an honor to be recognized as the winner of the final emblem. To be chosen out of a group of fourteen as the ideal lassie of the Girls' Athletic Association is the highest tribute that can be paid a member of this group. The decision of the committee is based on the fol- lowing accomplishments: the young lady's ability in all sports. her spirit and personality, her service to the association. her sportsmanship and attitude toward others in athletic contests, and finally her scholarship. Fourteen damsels were eligible this year for the title of final emblem girl. From this group one would be chosen as thc final emblem girl. This year's honors went to Pat Roberts, whose charm, grace. and magnetic personality made her the outstanding member of this organization. Running a very close second was Marilyn Newcomb. a dignified and likeable young lady. Others contending for the title of final emblem girl were Evelyn Schurr. Pauline Kruse. Katherine Turner. Helen Van Wirt, Delores Ring, Janet Fritz, Carolyn Lutz, Deborah Grant, Frances Edson, Lois Stevenson. Laura Mae Sims, and Betty Folk. Each year these girls attempt to improve socially and athletically. During the year they practice sportsmanship and an unselfish attitude toward all things. At th: festive G. A. A, banquet the ideal girl is presented as an inspiration for others. She is chosen because she repre- sents a true American girl in a true American environment. -BETTY YESSENOW. ..71.... w-.x .-.

The name of this organization shall be the Girls' Athletic Association of Central High School. Article II. AIM. The aim is to provide a program of activities broad enough and attrac- tive enough to have an appeal for every girl in school. Article III. PURPOSE. The purpose of this organization shall be cooperation with the department of physical education for women, in promoting interest in sports and gmynastic activities as a means of creating physical efficiency, athletic accomplishment, scholarship, and good sportsmanship. Thus begins the constitution of the most outstanding club for athletic-minded girls. Throughout the year the members engage in various athletic contests, such as hitpin, basketball, volleyball, and many more sports. Practice-practice and more practice-and then, the day they'have been waiting for arrives-the ultimate objective has been reached-the day of the big games. What are the requirements for membership? A girl must have a personal interest in ath- letics. and a willingness to exhibit her finesse in various sports. During noon hours these girls clad in blue gym suits enjoy such regular games as tennis, badminton, and other sports. After tedious but diligent work, a girl is rewarded with points gained by participation in various sports. Five hundred points entitles a lassie to a numeral, and a thousand points enable a girl to obtain a coveted letter which is worn on a white sweater above the right pocket. T0 those possessing unusual skill, chevrons are presented. Every game a girl engages in adds ten points to her account, and if lucky enough to make an interclass team, a hundred points reward her efforts. Besides earning points by active participation in tournaments and interclass games, girls earn points by selling refreshments at the football games. Throughout the gridiron season these comely lassies may be seen selling candy, popcorn, and other toothsome morsels. This year's G. A. A. board was headed by Marilyn Newcomb, president: Pat Roberts, vice president: Katherine Turner, secretary: Evelyn Schurr, treasurer: June Widner, volleyball: Marilyn Gebert. basketball: Mary Jo Mumma, hitpin: Ann Sweeney, minor sports: Laura Mae Sims, tennis: Frances Edson, social chairman: Marjorie Reese, publicity: and Janice Cox, fresh- man representative. The girls were instructed and guided through the year by Miss Adelaide Sawyer. Did you ever hear the story of Mary Smith? Well, she started out in her freshman year as a G. A. A. member, and at the end of her freshman term she had a total of two hundred points gained through participation in several hitpin, tennis, and volleyball games. She also served as a waitress for the Girls' Athletic Association concession. In her sophomore year Mary made the interclass basketball team, and this year she engaged in badminton besides the other sports she had participated in during the previous year. When Mary was a junior she was elected minor sports head and thus had a little authority. As a junior Mary' becomes a very prominent G. A. A. member. At the annual banquet held in the spring she received a coveted C which she wore with pride. In her final school year Mary was elected president of the Girls' Athletic Association. As a reward for her work she was chosen final emblem girl and had her name added to the list of outstanding girl athletes at Central. Not all members can receive such honors as Mary, but all members can do their work whole-heartedly. As a member of this group their work goes farther than learning to hit a ball with force. They are taught the value of clean sportsmanship and good scholarship. As a G. A. A. member their minds are broadened and ele- vated in respect to clean play and their spirit made more likable after a losing game. Remember this: It matters not how long we live but HOW! -BETTY YESSENOW. --7Q3- vvrx IQ - . 42 .f X, 5 ,...

V' L ,wg gf v 1 gn Champs ln lnterclass The traditional rivalry between the classes of Central High School is brought back to life during the volleyball and basketball seasons of the Girl's Athletic Association. Freshmen, sophomores. juniors, and seniors play against one another until one group has won more games than any other. After many hard fought games the seniors took the championship honors in basketball although the sophomores were not far behind and put up a tough fight. The basketball games between the seniors and the sophomores were played as if life itself was at stake. The first two games in which these teams clashed resulted in teis, the first game ended 17-17, and the latter ll-l l. The third and final game decided the winner of the con- test. The seniors defeated the sophomores by a heart breaking score of 19-13. Pat Roberts, captain of the seniors, realized how the sophomores felt about their loss and composed a poem which she dedicated to them. You've won a battle! may I say, The Sophomore Reds of the G. A. A. To be a loser and smile right through Makes winning just a minor cue. We're proud of you and hope that we Can stand out as sportingly, For it's hard to lose but soon you'll see That it's you who've won the victory. Win or lose in any game sportsmanship makes the victory or defeat. One doesn't have to win a game to be victorious, clean playing and a fight to the finish will prove to one's friends that she is a champion as well as the person who defeated her. This lesson has continually been taugh to the girls who are interested in athletics by Miss Adelaide Sawyer, whose aim is to teach girls not only the skill of playing but the joy of good sportsmanship. Champs ln lntramural Basketball and volleyball were again outstanding sports in the intramural group of the Girl's Athletic Association. Mixed teams of freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors chal- lenged each other in playing these games. Tennis matches which provide athletic students with plenty of fun and frolic, were played on the tennis courts at Horace Mann School. About sixty girls entered the exciting contests, and the final champion was June Widner. The distance between Central High School and Horace Mann is approximately one and one-half miles, and this mileage was covered every evening after school until the tournament was over by the participating students and those who wished to watch their friends play. This proved that there was a great deal of enthusiasm and interest in the game. Other minor sports were deck tennis, badminton, and hitpin. These sports with the excep- tion of tennis were held during the noon lunch period. The players carried their lunches and ate after the games. Marilyn Newcomb and June Widner were champions of the deck tennis doubles, while June Widner was the victor of the badminton singles. Top honors in the badminton doubles was held by Evelyn Schurr and Dorothy Koch. Because of the war the government is asking us to keep physically fit. The G. A. A. is doing a splendid job in co-operating with this request by helping to make the average girl's body strong and healthy. Basketball, volleyball, tennis, and many other sports help to strengthen our bodies. -MOLLIE KAMIN. -7 5-- Sth Grade-Jean Alspaugh, Evelyn Armentrout, Judy Baker, Janet Bessire, Joanne Berryhill, Eileen Bible, Mary Blodllett, Marilyn Bagan, Norma Boose, Pat Bowers, Marilyn Bryan, Hetty Brittingham, Martha Brock, Jo Ann Brunn, Janice Bruck.

A. A., started the year with one hundred and seventy five seventh and eighth grade members. The Junior High Girls' Athletic Association is supervised by Miss Garnet Sullivan, thc junior high gym teacher. The girls mcct on thc third Monday of each month in the gym. These girls play the fol- lowing well known games during their meetings: basketball, using the girls' rules: volleyball, 3 sport requiring much team work: hit pin, another popular sport similar to baseball except the ball is kicked instead of hit with a bat: and ping-pong, an all American game. For these various sports teams are chosen and captains appointed for each team. The junior high G. A. A. is another group that is helping to build healthy bodies through sports and excr- cisc. Sound bodies and sound minds may help any of these young members to later become WAACS, WAVES or SPARS if they so desire. -HARVEY BASINQER. -.-75.. a., M U 1 S I C ,MQW- Q .f W 'Q' Q 'f??z?'f3Y5 ig Q v, yr 5 44.9 - 3 v? cV ,I N14 3, W um 3 V R K iw 1 ff 5 hm 'V , X' ,N S V 39335123 2 QW... yy, Q Q Mdwwwww sw T5 , A ww l f A N 1 'A M ,Q W K , .' - ,YM 'lf 3 ' zz A J X: W 5 E ,W as gg Y pi K .1 yi 1 all Ei If g W dk gf ,li 4 my W' Q Q 'Q ig A J Z ff W ,.- wr' YI i , 1 ., Jai E la X, ' 'fl f . 1 1 A N Grigin of Auspicious Musical Events The grand finale of the orchestra's overture, the lighting of the footlights, the applause. and then the sudden hush-all of this marked the beginning of Victor Herbert's beloved M'lle Modistef' which was presented by the Senior A Cappella choir, November 18, 19, and 20. Since the grand performance two years ago of Sweethearts also by Victor Herbert, everyone had eagerly awaited the second operatic performance of our own high school A Cappella choir. This opera, like the first, will live in the memory of all who witnessed the presentation. The members of the cast were as follows: Marcene Blodgett, Don Everett, Dick Zimmerman, Don I-Iarrod. Jack Blackburn, John Pletcher, Robert Harter, Gordon Misch, Nancy Leech, Faye Mervis. Natalie Gregg, Janet Fritz, Mary Frances Morris. and Pat Barlow. Various other performances and entertainments were given by the A Cappella choir. The annual Christmas vesper services will be remembered for some time to come. The vesper services were opened with the processional Adeste Fideles : the choir presented the fol- lowing selections: Th Shepherd's Christmas Story in which Faye Mervis, soprano, and Bill Brown. baritone, sang the solos: The Vigil, featuring Mary Frances Morris as soprano solo- ist: Cherubim Song : and the annunciation Ave Maria with Marcene Blodgett singing the soprano solo. lt was a great compliment to the choir when they were asked to be the entertainers at the annual President's birthday ball given January 30. The songs given by the choir were A'The Ramparts We Watch and The Stars and Stripes Forever. Another song featured by the choir for this program was Soldier, Soldier with Dorothy Levy and Robert Hatter taking the solo parts. Ode to America was also presented with Bill Brown, Margaret Watkins, Madeline Hentze, and Don Everett taking the solo parts. Other features of the program were Begin the Beguine by the Boys' Octet and There Are Such Things and Lover, Come Back to Me, by the Girls' Octet. The officers of the Senior A Cappella choir for this year were Jack Blackburn, president: Mary Burnett, secretary: Margaret Watkins. treasurer: Joy Shaffner, librarian: and Richard Foulkes, pianist. The choir is directed by William G. Temple, director of music in the Lima Public Schools. But let us not forget the members of the general chorus, the ones that are already in the A Cappella choir or have not as yet quite made the grade. The general chorus meets during the home room periods. The members of this chorus do not have the distinctive impressive robes that the more fortunate A Cappella choir have. Although they are not quite able to meet the high requirements of the A Cappella, it does not mean that the members of this chorus are to give up hope. They too have the opportunity of later being selected for senior A Cappella choir membership. We extend our heartiest congratulations to all the members of the A Cappella choir and general chorus. -J EANETTE ELLIOT. -79..

H. Reider. They meet twice a week during the sixth period. They sing for assembly programs, luncheon clubs, radio programs. women's clubs, and others. Since we have read the plain facts let us now listen in on the thoughts of one or two of these members. Ladies first: we will begin with a member of the girl's octet. The particular girl we have in mind practices diligently for hours, for her throat has to have all the frogs and squeaks worked out of it. She is getting ready to sing a solo part for assembly. Perhaps her thoughts run like this: I am not supposed to be afraid of an audience, but my knees get quite shaky when I appear before one. Mr. Reider has kept me after school because I can't seem to hit one note right ..... Today is the assembly and the big day for us. We won't get to practice today because assembly is the fifth period. We are sitting on the stage now and the boys are singing and doing a swell job of it. I imagine we will make a mess of it . . . . . The boys are through singing and the chairman is announcing us. The first chorus isn't so bad. but now it is my turn to step out and sing all alone!! It seems funny-I am not scared at all: they all seem to sympathize with me. After my first chorus we just sing another one and the assembly is over ..... It's over!! Hurrah!! The kids must have thought that it sounded O. K. because they are congratulating me. Here is a boy's point of view' on the octet. Of course, we aren't naming any certain one. Many students think that only sissiesjoin a singing group, but we don't think so. This certain boy has a very fine voice and is highly praised by everyone. He really does study hard. and he thoroughly enjoys the hours that are spent on the octet. Personally we think he really enjoys the luncheon clubs better than anything else. Did you ever see a boy that didn't like to eat? He talks to the other boys about their songs. and they go to each others houses and have a merry time at nights. singing and really giving out with the close harmony. Some of the boys are musicians as well as singers. and thus they have instrumental music with their singing. Although the boys do not take their practicing as seriously perhaps as the girls. they alwavs come through with a good performance. Well. to get on with our story. this certain boy had a leading part in assembly and did very well. He is not as bashful as a girl and a crowd doesn't scare him a bit fso he saysl, but down in his heart he does feel a slight tremor. Why. just in assembly today we saw him twiddling his thumbs! We appreciate what these bovs and girls are doing and think that they have a great future in their work. All we say is-more power to them and keep up the good work. --RUTH ESTHER IVIAY. --3 1- D Ev iv 9 Q6 Q L U I Q 49, F J I Q F353 'XL Zi. M i we e Nmmww. ,.., A X zz. wmyww.

Perhaps you may wonder what brings about these harmonious notes. It is not a radio, nor is it a recording of a noted concert troup. but only the Junior A Cappella practicing under the capable direction of Mr. Alfred H. Reider. For the first time since the Junior A Cappella's organization a Girls' Octet has been formed. composed of Marilyn Wren, June Haller, first sopranos: Patty Mowery, Janice Cox, second sopranos: Phyllis Rochelle, Charlotte Stockton, first altos: and Virginia Savage, Marilyn Ben- nett, second altos. These girls blended their voices to sing Silent Night during the Yuletide season. One of the outstanding features during the past year for the group was their appearance at the annual Christmas assembly. Several members of the choir depicted the well known Nativity scene. The Junior A Cappella has grown in the past years and has become one of the finest vocal groups at Central High. Its membership is composed of eighth and ninth graders who are musi- cally inclined and enjoy singing in particular. This year the choir had as its pianist, Paul Koch, who did an excellent job throughout the school season. As yet. appearances are few, but in the near future the public will have the privilege of hearing this talented young group at its best. i Perhaps a few of you consider the A Cappella as merely a group that is taught how to carry a tune. but let me correct that impression before any further time lapses. The choir's aim is to teach each student, individually, the value of reading and understanding notes-a source of limitless pleasure all through life. The next time you happen to be in the vicinity of Room 208, why don't you stop in and listen to these future Jeanette McDonald's and Jan Peerce's. Mr. Reider will be pleased to have his group perform for you. ' The choir's officers for the year were chosen as follows: Mollie Kamin. president: Jim Harter, vice president: Janice Cox secretary-treasurer: Paul Koch, pianist: and Mr. Alfred H. Reider, director. --IVIOLLIE KAMIN. 6 Qur Younger Songsters The seventh grade chorus is the official title for a junior high vocal group composed of both boys and girls. It has eighty-seven members, and Room 258 is filled to capacity when this group meets. The boys and girls meet only once a week, Monday the fifth period, They are directed from the very beginning by Miss Violet Lewis and are trained very thoroughly so that they will be ready for the Jr. A Cappella next year if they wish to enter. This group does not give many programs, but it does entertain the Parent-Teachers Asso- ciation quite often: also it sings at the Christmas Program and the Spring Festival. In the case of these special programs the chorus meets oftener so its members may learn their songs to perfection. Now, suppose I am a boy and I don't know whether to try out or not. My voice is squeaky at times, but maybe I will do. Miss Lewis listens to quite a few of us all trying for the same goal. She explains to us that it is a class to teach us to sing and to control our voices so that we may have a chance for one of the higher organizations. Somehow or other I make the chorus with eighty-six other students start our weekly practice. At hrst we don't know much: but, toward the end of the year, we feel that our time was not wasted. We really have accomplished something. We have sung at quite a few special programs and thoroughly enjoyed the extra practices. I. along with the other students in my class, feel that I am qualified to try for one of the higher vocal classes in our school. -RUTH ESTHER MAY -33... ENSEMRLE CLUB Rvw I-AYIIUS LUN!-5.

They're little, they're smart, and they can singl We are describing the Seventh Grade Boys' Chorus, which is a newly formed organization this year and is directed by Miss Violet M. Lewis. This group made their first public appearance when they blended their voices in the junior assembly Christmas program, and they were quite a hit. What could be sweeter than the soft tenor voice of a young boy who is willing to work and cooperate with his teacher in every way? Such industrious boys will be eligible to become permanent members of the Junior A Cappella Choir and perhaps later members of the Senior A Cappella. They are live wires and they can sing, are the words spoken by Miss Lewis when asked how her new group was getting along. What a thrill to be chosen to sing with the Central High School Boys' Octet! It is seldom that seventh grade boys are selected to sing with boys who are juniors and seniors at a public performance unless they have excellent voices. Such an experience did occur, and twenty-four boys from the choir were selected to sing during the Christmas Vesper services with the Boys' Octet. Can you imagine how proud Miss Lewis was of her students who had worked hard for that opportunity? They may be a new group with new boys, yet they're well known and liked as if they had been entertaining us for years. As long as our youths of tomorrow are taught the fundamentals of music as well as the youths of today, we will be spared any worries about the future of our music. We wish them luck-these industrious seventh graders and may their success continue throughout the years to come. The officers selected for the year were as follows: Ernie Evans, president: Dick Jackson, vice president: Jack Springer, secretary: Fred Miller and Dalton Dennis, librariansg and Miss Violet Lewis. director. -MOLLIE KAMIN Musicis Bright fVlagniiicence--- Central's Ensemble Club is a musical organization of boys and girls who are interested in playing in small groups. The club was a participant in the music festival this spring and also sent some of its members to the state contest. No one needs to be asked to join this club: an ample number of young musicians flock to join its activities, consisting of one practice period a week when Mr. H. O. Clark, the club advisor, coaches them. All types of band instruments are represented from tuba to piccolo. One typical pupil in this group plays the trumpet Ca first cousin of the army's buglej. He has quite a time tooting away because he is allowed to play either Bach or boogie. He practices during every available moment of his spare time. He takes a lot of interest in his music, as the boys in the club engage in keen rivalry among themselves regarding technique and musicianship. Girls, too, play in the ensemble club. There is lively competition between the boys and the girls: this competitive spirit keeps each of the groups at a sharp edge of musical perfection. Ofncers for the past year were Miram Clark, president, Pat Evans, vice president and librarian: Bob King, secretary: and Reid Zerbach, treasurer. -RUTH ESTHER MAY -851 W by gif, 'TVX IM?

Imagine the fervor and excitement passing through the veins of our boys as they stand at the station bidding farewell to their friends and relatives and hearing the stirring patriotic music of the Central High School Band. Although he knows of the great responsibilities and sacrifices that await him, he keeps his spirits high and knows that after his job is accomplished, this same band will be playing when he returns home. Patriotic rallies have become a habit for Central's band. In the fall of the year when the Pledge to The Nation campaign was in full swing, the band made trips to various war factories to add that certain finesse that made the rally a success. The band was fortunate in being able to participate in the grand parade which was a climax to the Pledge To The Nation campaign. At the gala, colorful affair that was held at Schoon- over Park, the band played for Governor Bricker, Colonel R. A. Ginsburg, and three movie stars, Ilona Massey, Fred Astaire, and Hugh Herbert, who were visiting Lima on a bond-selling tour. The band made its most spectacular appearances on the football field. As they marched down the bright green field playing the Alma Mater, the student body with their bright array of colors reflected in the brass instruments, sang the impressive words. Then, as the colors were being raised, the words of the Star-Spangled Banner were sung, straight from every American's heart. There is one football game that will live in the hearts of Central students for a long time. The only reason we mention it here is because the band and the students played such an im- portant part in determining its outcome. This game was at Findlay-need we say more? The privilege of playing at the dedication of the A. W. V. S. Canteen was eagerly accepted by the band. Music may seem very little to offer to one's country when we think of all the lives that arexbeing lost: but there is something about music, especially those melodious tunes which have been written about our America, that plants a fighting determination in our minds and hearts. At the pep rallies the band inspired the boys to go out and win their games. During parades the band made every student feel proud of his school. Isn't it odd what a little music can instill in people? Numerous radio programs and several concerts were given by the band this season. One main attraction of the band's activities was the trip to the music festival at Defiance. The officers of the band were elected as follows: Jack Kelly, president: Don Brown, vice president: Dorothy Miller, secretary: Jim Foulkes, treasurer: and Miriam June Clark, librarian. --HELEN R. NIILLER Music l-lath Charms Sweet melodious fiute, gentle violin, strong but tranquil french horn a,nd a steady rolling drum-all are harmoniously blended by Central High School's Orchestra. Have you ever stopped to consider how much time and effort the students spend on their music thus making the band and orchestra a success. Some of them spend many hours acquiring the proper skills and techniques needed to master their instruments. , Many students take band and orchestra in hope of making music their life vocation, while others take it solely for their own enjoyment: but for whatever purpose they have in mind. they are sure to find that their time is well spent. This year, besides playing for all the plays, the orchestra also accompanied the opera M'lle Modiste. The officers of the orchestra are Pat Evans, president: Marilyn Newcomb, vice president: Carolyn Lutz, treasurer, and .John Miller, librarian. We think at this time it is only fitting and proper to express our thanks to Mr. Harold Q. Clark for the splendid job he has accomplished this year. -HELEN R.

Nlusical Dragons Mark Evans in 1933 started the junior band when the young students of Central expressed their desire for a band to prepare them for their objective, the senior band. In 1935, Harold O. Clark took over the leadership of this small but eager group of musicians. When the junior band first appeared, it contained but fourteen members but has grown and swelled to its present size of 50 members. Of course, at first they weren't exactly a musician's dream of the perfect band, but because of their interest and love of music they have tried hard and have found that hard work and practice are the only ways to reach their goal-senior band. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning these young hopefuls file proudly into the music room and seat themselves before their respective stands. Then, taking out their music, they tune up for a few minutes: but the instant that Mr. Clark takes the stand, everything becomes quiet and attention is paid to what their conductor is saying. Instructions are given and the band begins to play. Oh, oh! there was a flat note! Mr. Clark goes around to the different members and has them tune their instruments to the tuning bar. Of course, everyone likes that because it has such a pretty sound. The clarinets, the saxophones, the flutes, the trumpets, the coronets, and even the drums are tuned to the tuning bar. Finally all is in readiness and the band is ready to begin. Oh, look! There are some extra horns that they missed. And to think that this band started with only fourteen members! Well, miracles do happen. Those horns that they were talking about are the oboes and the French horns. The weird sound of the oboe reminds one of an Indian snake charmer's flute: but there is something about it that is entrancing. Look, Mr. Clark is going to make an announcement. This year's junior band is going to give a performance all by themselves. My, they seem to like the idea, don't they? From now on they will surely practice so that the program will be a success. They know that only through long practice at home, with their director, and finally with the whole band can they achieve the thing that they want, membership in the senior band. Of course, there are some that never make the senior band, and then there are others that make the band long. long before they expected to belong to that advanced organization. At times the practicing of the scales becomes monotonous to the people that are in the second period study hall, but they must all be patient and hope for the best, for the best will surely come. Students who wish may now rent instruments at low cost and become members of the junior band and later, perhaps, members of the senior band. The officers of the junior band this year were as follows: Dean Hauenstein, president: Jackie Springer, secretary: and Tommy Clutter, treasurer. Now let us turn for a while to the junior orchestra members, who hope some day to become members of the greater organization, the senior orchestra. Of course, there is a greater chance for them to reach their objective because in the field of their types of instruments there is less competition. It seems to take keener perception to appreciate the subtlest of strings. All of us express our best wishes and good luck to the members of both of these organizations. The officers of the junior orchestra were elected as follows: John Berger, president: Marilyn Clark, secretary: Jackie Springer, treasurer, and Marilyn Smith, librarian. Congratulations to H. O. Clark, their director. . -IEANETTE ELLIOTT -3 9- vu Ruff Aerial photography 1. 'I4hc Ifronl-Steps Gang 2. Office Dccorul ion 3. Sub-41011 4. Mob Scene 5. Junior' High Side Ryo.. -91.q if :. M.

It stands for achievement. Once inside this hallowed group, life to them is the essence. But perhaps I've been too formal. Maybe you don't dig this jive as we say in the inner circles. To put it plainly. to be chosen from hundreds-well maybe fifty-try-outees is an honor not to be disdained. Never having known Central without the Troubadours, I'm a little hazy about when it was founded but I know why it was. It was founded to foster and display dramatic ability. There you have it in a compact little sentence. I suppose the above statement makes them, the Troubadours, sound like an austere group of Shakespearians. Alas and alack, 'tis not true! In this comparison Shakespeare. no doubt. would turn over in his grave so many times he would be made an honorary member of the Royal Order of the Whirling Dervishers. Although working for development of their dramatic ability. the Troubadours don't make drudgery of it. In their weekly plays everyone is given a chance to show his capabilities. They entertain and sometimes amuse themselves by having a prop misplaced or a live muffed. One noteworthy incident occurred when the dead man violently came alive to protect himself from the falling mantle. The weekly plays also act as a proving ground from which the club supervisor chooses those who get their wings in form of a role in the annual play. This is the most coveted treasure of all, for to an actor as Mr. Lytton says, Applause is food: and Centralites are I10 QXCEPYIOI1. This year something new has been added. Every member who wished may list all his contribution to dramatics since he entered Central as an insignificant seventh grader. This includes membership in Seventh and Eighth Grade Thespian Clubs. the Masqueraders, the Troubadours. officer of any of these clubs. parts in annual plays of these clubs, and special services, such as writing or directing a play or helping with scenery or props. If his list meets the standard set by the National Thespian League he may become a member of this national amateur dramatic society. Some one once said. To know them is to love them. and this applies to the Trouba- dours Here is a group that loves to live and lives to act.

The play takes place in Mrs. Spangler's rooming house at Brookfield College. As Mrs. Spangler says, You couldn't keep track of the students here if you were a paid spy. Especially is this true at commencement time. Parents, girls, aunts, professors--all rushing in and out create an air of confusion. At the same time Ed Burns. a chemistry student. has turned his room into a laboratory. At irregular intervals loud booms issue forth from the stinkum stinkorum. as the reiuvenated room is called where Ed is experimenting with a new explosive. Vic Lewis, an art student. has his first commercial assignment and sets up his easel in the living room. Howard Brant types furiously on his zoology term paper. which he must complete that day to graduate. Through this variegated scene runs Lou Herron. Ed's girl, who fancies herself a journalist, and Anne Purcell. Howard's girl friend. Anne has come to tell Howard that her father can find no hotel room and must stay with him. When Mr. Purcell arrives, the boys mistake him for the model sent by the agency to pose for Vic. Much to his disgust, the boys ruffle him up, tie him to the hatrack and put a band on his mouth. All this is to make him look like a Bolshevik. The mistake is discovered and Mr. Purcell leaves in fury. refusing the college a new science building. Howard's Aunt Maude. who has been financing his college work, arrives and decides to 'help Howard graduate by getting on the good side of Professor Bean. Meanwhile Anne Purcell with Vivian. Vic's girl, and Vic, posing as a doctor. stage a deathbed scene to get Anne's father to sign a paper giving the science building and thus per- mitting Howard to graduate. The plot is discovered when Vic's mustache comes off. Howard has already left with the signed paper, but he hasn't the nerve to give it to President Dixon. I-Ie decides to run away. With a little of Anne's persuasion Mr. Purcell relents: Howard gets to graduate, thanks to his Aunt Maude. and everyone celebrates at the big commencement dance Howard Brant Ed Burns - Vic Lewis - Lou Herron Mrs. Spangler Anne Purcell Vivian George Henry Purcell Richard Riggs Gordon Misch Mike Davidian Shirley Shrider - Faye Mervis I.uella McClain Beverly Asire Jack Davisson Phoebe Purcell - - - Maude Covey - - - Professor Virgil Bean Dr. Dixon ---- Property Managers - - Business Manager - Director - - Mrs. that nicht. - Marian Morgan - - Nelda Mills - - Richard Reeder - Jimmv Thomas Muriel Teitlebaum Betty Yessenow - - Pauline Kruse Jessie XV Rhonemus -JOAN LUTES -93.- , W: l ' 4 ..- 1 l I TQN I MASQUERADERS Row I Ihwnlliy Stimmvl.

On looking into the auditorium from whence came these disturbances. I saw on the brilliantly lighted stage, students of Central as actors and actresses. while the other members of the club, the audience. rocked with laughter. As I slipped into a back seat, the curtain was rung down and the play was over. The club president. Pat Craig. arose. made a few announcements, and adjourned the meeting. The members of the cast of the play descended from back stage and were duly congratulated by the other members of the club. After nosing around and asking questions, I found that these playlets were given during each club period for practice and entertainment. One of thegreater achievements of the club is their annual play. Tryouts for this play are not held. The cast is selected according to the presentation the members give in the playlets that are held during meetings. The play this year was Neighbors by Appointment by Robert St. Clair. Officers of the club are: president, Pat Craig: vice president, Gary Hill: secretary, Nancy Heil: and treasurer. Kate lnowav. Miss Ruth E. Moore is supervisor of the club. HNei3hbors By Appointmentn Eight o'clock! Dim the lights! Draw the curtain, and the play is on! February 5, 1943, members of the Masquerader's club presented their annual play Neighbors by Appointment, a comedy in three acts by Robert St. Clair. This farce centers around the Rawlins family. who wish to he hosts to a Latin-American family as part of the good neighbor policy. Herbert Rawlins, an attorney: his wife, Mae: Vera, their college-age daughter: and the son, Alvin make up the Rawlins family. Edna Slack represented the typical maid, and the Latin-American guests were the Cortez family. Patricia Parks was the gossipy pest, and Vera's fiance and his father were the Sears family. By request of Mrs. Rawlins, Rosa, ll Mexican violinist, created a South American atmosphere for the guests. Although Mrs. Rawlins is the scatter-brain type, her intentions are good, Eager to create a pleasant surrounding for her guests, she hires a violinist to play South American melodies in the kitchen. Unsuccessfully, she attempts to attire her family according to South American custom. When her guests arrive, instead of being pleased with remembrances of their native- land, they ask for jazz and other things distinctly American. During the course of the evening's discussion, Senor Cortez reveals an enterprise in oil that has much stock yet to be sold. After buying stock herself, Mrs. Rawlins also induces her friends to buy some. In the course of events. however, the Rawlins family is misled as to the honesty of their South American guests. for they disappear overnight. Their reappearance clears this: they have merely moved to a hotel for convenience. After the Rawlins family has been reinstated in their former social position, the play ends happily for all.

They solved the problem in the junior class play Goodnight Ladies. Helen. Jane. and Sam Raleigh. students at Grayson College, inherit an old mansion near the campus. Since it is mortgaged, they are just on the point of losing it when they hit upon a splendid solution. Why not turn it into a dormitory? And that they did. It is arranged for Aunt Barbara and Aunt Flora Stevens to come as house mothers to the newly converted girls' hall. But lprepare yourselfj at the last minute. the aunts End it impossible to arrive at the prearranged time. Students are arriving to take their rooms but are turned back by Miss Eggleby. dean of women. who refuses anyone admission until the matrons arrive. This, children, is a number one crisis and calls for some number one thinking. Larry Dobson. a student in the employ of the telegraph company, prepares a hokum telegram which states the aunts will arrive in a few hours. Here the fun begins! Two of the boys masquerade as the charitable aunts. But, lo and behold. the dean finds out the truth and is ready to expel every student connected with the dastardly act when. at the last minute, Professor Dexter, newly appointed head of the college board. straightens everything out.

Rhonemus -JOAN LUTES ll ll Letters to Lucerne The acceptance of a play with a war theme is always doubtful in war time. Most successful war plays are written many years after the slaughtering. -The exception to this rule is Letters To Lucerne because of its deeply sympathetic portrayals and wealth of human interest. The scene of the play is laid in Lucerne, Switzerland: the place is a girls' school. To this school come girls from eminent families situated in all corners of the earth. Here are found not only conflicting nationalities but also divergent beliefs and emotions. The plot centers around Olga Kirinski, a seventeen-year-old Polish girl. and Erna Schmidt, a young Nordic goddess from Germany. The girls have a common bond because Olga is in love with Hans, Erna's brother. The girls talk over past times and in the evenings read letters to each other. It is in their letters that the Hrst hint of strife appears. The letters Erna receives are full of praise for Germany's great leader and his new order. Here the seeds of distrust are sown. Later comes the startling news of the invasion of Poland by Germany. The girls begin to shy away from Erna. Erna is forced to receive her letters in private because the news that they bring of German victories brings the school to arms. Sally Jackson, an American student, discovers the secret letters and believes Erna is a spy. She determines to prove to her friends that Erna is a menace to the school. Erna, to exonerate herself, reads her latest letter. It is from her mother. who has sent this letter to Erna by a trusted servant who must escape the Nazi clutches to bring it to Erna. The letter relates that Hans. on being sent to Poland to bomb Warsaw, deliberately crash- dived his plane. Her mother goes on to say the Nazis suspect Hans of treachery and are closing in on them. Next the Nazis may try to find Erna. but she is not to be afraid for, You have your pride in Hans-your faith in decent people. I am so deeply grateful for the knowledge that you are where you can be safe-where you do not have to suffer for your beliefs-where you have enough to eat-where you are surrounded by kind people who love you- Erna stands. utterly crushed. Olga takes her in her arms. The other girls stir uneasily as the curtain falls. .

Disciples of Thespis All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. So spoke the immortal Jacques hundreds of years ago and so speak the members of the Eighth Grade Thespian Club today. These young actors and actresses have long since dis- covered that aside from mere enjoyment there is much to be gained by play-acting. A long established fact is that the more often a person appears before the public, the more accomplished he becomes. With repeated appearances he gains poise and self-assurance as well as improved articulation and diction. It is the purpose of the Eighth Grade Thespian to develop these faculties in its young members. Although the Thespians probably do not look upon their meetings in this light, it remains a fact that these desirable elements are coming into view in these young people. This is not to say that there is not actual talent in the club. It is possible that there is a budding Ethel Barrymore or Maurice Evans in the group. William Saroyan, the famous playwright and one time Pulitzer Prize winner once wrote: Everyone is an actor: it is just that so many people should not go on the stage. So it is with the Thespian Club. They are all actors, but they all do not intend to go on the stage. The advisor of the dramatic club appoints a play committee from which the student directors are selected. The plays are given at the meetings for the mutual benefit of the cast and audience. In this way they can be discussed and their faults corrected. Among the plays which have been given in the past year are The White Elephant Comes Home and Between Us Girls. To vary the programs of the meetings a variety show is sometimes given which affords the members an opportunity to display their individual talents. The combined efforts of the Seventh and Eighth Grade Thespian Clubs produced the play. Buddy's Exciting Night. The events of the play center around a week-end party of'a group of high school students at one of their teachers' cabins. Those taking part in the play were Myrton Teitelbaum, Barney Laeufer. Dick Eeigh, Jeannine Smith, Janice Dickman, Joan Spellman, Jean Alspaugh, Fred Miller. Jim Clark, Jane Davisson, Jim Salisbury, and Nancy Breckenridge. The directors of the play were Mary Jane Whitling and Idetta Lutz. Officers this year in the Eighth Grade Thespian Club were Craig Wright, president: Joe Fontain, vice president: June Hookway, secretary: and Marceil Nesbitt, treasurer. The advisor is Miss Idetta Lutz. Like their eighth grade counterpart, the Seventh Grade Thespian Club has as its goal the acheivement of poise and self assurance through dramatics. The boys and girls work in their efforts to attain this goal. If, when they are older, they are at some time called upon to make a public appearance, they can do so with calm assurance, never faltering because they know that there is nothing to fear in an audience. They have in their school days worked from both sides of the footlights and found both sides rich in enjoyment. The students take a great deal of pride in the plays which they give at every meeting. Some of the plays whcih they have given during the past year are Alice's Blue Gown, Who Gets the Car Tonight? and That Awful Letter. At these meetings, the Thespians learn the fundamentals of acting. They know that it isn't a snap to put on a play. The finished product that the audience sees is preceded by toil, strife, and an occasional tantrum: but they enjoy it. They live in hope that sometime in the future they will be a part of the mad jumble and hub-bub that is part of an opening night. The smell of grease paint, the lowered voices tense with excitement, the hurried direction of the stage manager, the swish of costumes. the well wishes, the final desperate shouts of the director, the glare of footlights, the rising curtains, and the sea of faces-this is what they are working for whether their ultimate goal is the senior class play or the professional theater. This is what they want. This is what they shall achieve. The officers of this year are Nancy Breckenridge, president: Colleen Hydaker, vice presi- dent: Patty Boop. secretary: Fred Miller, treasurer. The club advisor is Miss Mary Jane Whitling. -MARTHA PIERSON -9 9- Row 1 .Innn Thompson, Ruth Baker, Mzlret-no Blodizett, Joan Lutes, Ann Alexander. Row 2 Dick Welker, Kenneth Harrf-fl.

Whois Who? .lust as there are certain traditions that make America America, and Ohio Ohio. so there are traditions that make Central Central. This one particular tradition to which I am referring is the Vw'ho's XVho Contest.

Charming Marcene Blodgett became Central's loveliest girl with attractive Martha Pi0rSOl1 and Deana liillips following. 'l'he title of most handsome boy once again goes to Dick Zimmerman. Dick Bishop and Bill Davies ranked second and third. Charles Grady claimed the honor of most dignihed student with John Pletcher and Natalie Gregg receiving second and third places. Bill Brinkmeyer. a newcomer to Central this year. received the honor of the most courteous student. Richard lioulkes and Charles Grady ranked second and third. The girl with the best personality is none other than Joan Thompson. Pat Roberts and .loan l.utes ran a very close second and third respectively, Centralites voted Kenny Harrod as the bov with the best personality. John Reed, Bill llrinkmeyer. and Bill liisher hold follow-up honors. Neatest girl was Ruth Baker: Bettve Kemph and Martha Pierson close runners-up. Neatest boy was Dick Vvlelkeri Bob 'I'arr and iliom iliharp followed. Jack Maisch was chosen the most bashful boy with Dick Bishop and Bill Brinknieyer receiving second and third honors.

How true these words are. Basing its theme on these immortal words, the Parent-Teachers' Association aims to serve others-men, women and children-rich or poor, old or young, feeble or strong. It matters not what your color or faith: you are included on the serving list of this group. Striving to uphold this aim to the ultimate degree, the Parent-Teachers' Association aids everyone and everybody. This year, more than ever before, when our nation is engulfed in a strife for democracy. civilian aid is needed to accomplish urgent wartime needs. The Parent-Teachers' Association has willingly relinquished its time in order that they may help those groups in search of assist- ance. Many long and tedious hours were spent weekly by the group rolling bandages, serving soldiers at our local A. W. V. S. canteen, and aiding other worthwhile charity groups. The Central group organized in April 1934, is composed primarily of teachers and parents of Central High students and is not a student extracurricular organization. The Lima council organized on January ll, 1928, consists of individual city wide interested groups and is a conference body whose duty is to know the child through study and education of the parents, to cooperate with schools, and to enrich the environment of all. Many young students are not given the opportunity to enjoy the same benefits others do, yet the Parent-Teacher group attempts to give all pupils identical benefits. Some parents do not understand their growing young adolescents. and to these bewildered fathers and mothers the group renders advice and aid. Then, too, there are teacher-pupil problems. With this thought in mind the group this year attempted to promote a closer relation and mutual cooperation among the parents, teachers, and students of Central High School. Central's school problems are dealt with by the local group while the needs of all the schools are handled by the city council. For you interested readers, the first officers elected by the Central group in 1934 were president, Mrs. Harry Bennett: first vice president, Mrs. Gwen Pence: second vice president, Reverend S. M. Davidian: recording secretary, Mrs. Earl Bowman: corresponding secretary, Miss Ruth Chiles: and treasurer, Carl H. Jones. Throughout the year the group formed many extra activities which functioned nobly. The purpose of the city council is threefold, to know the child through child study and patent education, to cooperate with the schools and other educational agencies in his training through shared participation with teachers and educators, and to control and build his environ- ment through the development of his mind. To all members of this group. we students wish to say thanks-thanks for attempting to help make us better citizens in the world of tomorrow. Through your guidance and aid our minds are developed with a fuller understanding of our fellowman. If ever an organization deserved a tribute, the Parent-Teachers' Association is the one. Officers selected to lead the Central group were president, Rev. P. H. Graeser: first vice president, Mr. Russell Graham: second vice president, Mrs. Stanley Welker: recording secretary, Mrs. G. A. Knipp: corresponding secretary, Miss Ruth Moore: treasurer, Mr. Floyd Overholser. Heading the city council were: president, Mrs. A. L. Simmons: first vice president. Mrs. Fred Stover: second vice president, Mrs. H. P. Mowrey: honorary president, Supt. J. McLean Reed: secretary, Mrs. Welby Widner: treasurer, Mrs. Kenneth Everett. --BETTY YESSENOW -10 3- if? , rk7-Zlffgm SQ' A 57' X231 5 :5f' 5,' M q Q 555 S i I fmwfffm , img' Af ffffgfqlifigii ,,,.,A 'ff X- ' I, - .,,:-' X , A:,: ' 5 -V ai V -2?,:5- 5?

Take for example, the government of the United States in com- parison with the present-day German government. Everything that America stands for is represented by the people, whereas everything Germany stands for is represented by the ideals of the son of an Austrian barber. As our nation is conducted on the principles of government of the people, so are many organizations in this country. Central's government of the students, by the students. and for the students is nothing else but the Student Council. Represented by eight seniors. six juniors, four sophomores, two freshmen, and one seventh and one eighth grader chosen by popular vote, the council's aim is to promote and extend th: power of the students within the school. As in previous years the council undertook and accomplished many projects. Promoting school dances was one of the tasks for the council. Several after-school dances were held and a gala Christmas ball. Supervising the pep meeting, the hall and street patrol, and lost and found department were further duties for the council. As more and more of our brothcrs and friends were entering the armed forces, the students felt that it was their duty to purchase more war stamps and bonds. To bring this privilege closer lo the student body, the council established two defense stamp booths where the stamps could be purchased. Later in the year the students were able to place their weekly orders with their home room teachers. Remember December 7. 1941-a horrible, menacing day in the history of America. Remember December 7, 1942-a destructive day in reference to our enemy. On this day, one year following the great catastrophe at Pearl Harbor, Americans all over the country remembered Pearl Harbor by purchasing more and more war stamps and bonds. This day can well be marked as a red letter day in the history of Central, as the students co-operated by buying more than 54000.00 worth of stamps and bonds. Let's make every day a Pearl Harbor Day. -HELEN R. MILLER e ur Brain Trust Knowledge is one thing we are all able to acquire. Of course, we know that some of us do not acquire as much as others, but that is due to the fault of the individual. Knowledge once acquired is one thing that can never be taken away from a person. As Benjamin Franklin once said, If a man empties his purse into his head, no man take take it away from him. An in- vestment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Every year the State Department of Education sponsors a scholarship test for those students who rank in the upper third of their graduating class. This is one instance in which four years of past knowledge actually serves its purpose, for the test is divided into these five subjects: mathematics, English, history, science, and reading. Those students ranking highest are recom- mended for scholarships in Ohio colleges. Richard Romaker took top honors for Central. Students eligible to take the 1943 test were Kathryn Bonfiglio, Charlotte Budd, Marcene Blodgett, Delores Bryan, Robert Bowman, Tom Buchanan, Trevor Craig, Joe Dillon, Frances Edson, Dena Fillips, Natalie Gregg, Charles Grady, Dorothy Gisler, Jean Gerstenlauer, Charlotte Haller, Pauline Kruse, Dorothy Koehler, Nancy Leech, Joan Lutes. Dorothy Miller, Nelda Mills, Marilyn Newcomb, Mary Ellen Newton, Richard Romaker, Virginia Saeger, Laura Mae Sims, Helen Schaff, Helen Seitz, Helen Van Wirt, Nick Vucovich, Margaret Watkins, Thelma Well- baum, Evelyn White, Jack Williams, and Dick Zimmerman. Those serving as alternates were Audrey Canterbury, Jack Davisson, Patricia Evans, Lucille Forton, Doris Ketchan.

The answer is those congenial fellow students who are members of the corridor patrol, and who keep the halls quiet and presentable. When visitors enter the portals of Central High School, they are indeed pleased with the dignified bearing and respectability of Central's halls and surroundings. This is accomplished through the efforts of the hall patrol. Before home room period a vigil was kept by this group and loitering abolished. Corridor lingercrs were checked, and students were sent to home room to study or to do other needed work. Absent-minded pupils were reminded of neglected lockers. If some day this year you forget to lock your locker, you are reminded and asked to discontinue the practice. This task proved valuable to the students as it made them more careful in locking their lockers and keeping them neat. As an average high school student. how many times did you forget to lock your locker in the past year? How many times were you tardy because of spending several extra minutes chatting in the halls? Since the abolishment of the hall patrol we may he forgetful even more often than before, but at least the hall patrol has taught the students of Central High School to think-did I lock my locker? Less chatting is noticed in the halls and less tardiness has resulted. Under the supervision of Mr. E. L. Huber the group performed a splendid job for the time it existed during the past years. -B1i'I I'Y Y ESSIENOW Centralis Traffic Cops Before school and following dismissals we'll End standing at the four corners adjacent to Central several spirited boys directing trafiic and making life safer for pedestrians. Let it rain-let it snow-nothing bothers us! -No, nothing interrupts the meritorious work of these lads. At times it may seem amusing to watch large cars stopping at the blow of a mere whistle or to observe civilians halting at the sound of the shrill notes. The boys find the citizens of Lima as well as the students of Central High School very cooperative in aiding them in their work. Perhaps we do not realize how much we actually owe these boys who save us from acci- dents and -mishaps. Supervised by Mr. E. L. Huber, this group deserves a grand ovation for their splendid work in protecting us from being struck by Ford's extraordinary invention and from other similar catastrophies. The job these' lads handle is no child's play when we consider the task confronting them. No day is dull to these martyrs, with careless drivers and impatient high school students opposing them at every turn. What a life, we may say. Street patrol may sound uninviting. but it is a dennitely interesting and important service that is rendered to the youngsters who need guidance and to the aged who tarry along the way.

Q 'k 163 iw I., :gi 4 Ni Members of the Fourth Estate Did you ever stop to think what Central would be like without the weekly Mirror ? This bi-monthly student edition is eagerly awaited by the entire student body of Central. This, your publication. is for your satisfaction and entertainment. The weekly Mirror is at all times open to criticisms or suggestions since it is the paper of the students. Hard work and patience are two traits needed by everyone on the staff to make the Mirror a success. Every edition of the paper must meet a dreaded deadline. but finally everyone has his articles in and is satisfied with his hnished production. Miss Laura Jamison is literally swamped with articles when the time for the deadline is near, and the editors quietly tear their hair waiting for the cubs to get their late articles in. True to tradition, the reporters are racing madly around collecting material for their write- ups. .ln general everything is in a bedlam, but finally all is at rest and the Mirror is safely put to bed. Members of the staff go through a lot to do their bit for the Mirror , None of them are allowed to have their names mentioned in any of the editions except. of course, for their scholastic standings. The Christmas edition carries the traditional New Year resolutions of these hard working members, but beyond that there is no mention of these Central journalists. The absence of the gossip column this year was severely criticized by many of the students. but the column was left out for a good purpose. Incidentally the Mirror has won the standing of superior in a contest of student journalism editions. Wasn't that worth something? All of us realize the change that has come over the publication this year. The war has brought about this change. More and more issues of the Mirror have been dedicated to more serious topics. Red Cross and War Bond Drives were especially emphasized. Each and every member exerts himself to his fullest extent in order that every issue will be of great value to the students of Central. If we would by accident stroll into Room 348 every other Monday night we would prob- ably see a group of tired. sleepy. and wornout workers. These are the people that work without complaining, for the good of Central. Of course. there are times when they would gladly exchange their responsibilities for something less tedious, but after all is said and done they are proud to be the ones to represent the students of this school. Since they do not receive much consideration in their own publication, let us whole-heartedly thank them and take a look at those that have faithfully served us this year. First, we have Marilyn Newcomb and Mary Ida Peterson, the co-editors who have un- complainingly supervised each edition. Next in line we have June Widner and Carol Bennett, the associate editors who have guided the cubs with a firm yet gentle hand in their writings. Going on, we see Carol Creps as the feature editor, who has quite a job on her hands providing entertaining and serious reading alike. Bill Fisher was the one lone man to brave the tribe of women staff heads: in fact. it wasn't until late in the year that Bill had talked' any man at all into joining the ranks of the scribes of the old Alma Mater. Robert McBeth proved to be an efficient and conscientious business and advertising manager. Other members of the staff for this year were as follows: Art Editor. Gordon Sherrick: reporters. Joyce Cotner, Mary Lou Ebersbach, Jeanette Elliott, Lou Anna I-lennon, Lois Jenkins. Dorothy Neuman, Shirley Pugh, and Mary Lou Sandifer: cubs. Marilyn Bennett, Mary Martha Buchanan, Carol Cottrell, Jean Hull. Alice Jones, Dan Kirlin, Marilyn Shutt. Jane Miller, Alice Skinner. Susan Solomon, Jacqueline Sonntag. Violet Stevenson. Ann Sweeney, Judy Tripple- horn. Marjorie Franklin, Clayton Gottfried. l.arry King, and Gene Symonds: and June Ann Lay was the circulation manager. Last, but not least, we have the faculty advisors of the publication. Miss Laura Jamison was the patient and loyal literary advisor of the students. Never complaining or scolding. she kindly told the staff about the misspelled words and the wrongly phrased sentences. Mr. H. C. Heffner was the business manager of the group and balanced the budget. Not only does he do this for the weekly but also for the annual Mirror . Let us not forget these unsung heroes of the quill and ink-pot-Central's fourth estate. --JEANETTE ELLIOTT -109- 5 if K , if ' 3' i il :fs .f 212, I Y 52 5-Tw , . Ivan I s l 'Q 4 -vw' We---the Chroniclers of Events The Annual Mirror class has again been organized and the Annual once again is taking form. Yes, everything is the same-Room 348 with its three dilapidated typewriters, Miss Jeanette Stuart as our helpful and capable supervisor, and the same purpose in mind-to sum- marize the activities of the school year and to offer reading enjoyment for the students and faculty. But wait a minute, it seems to me that I've made a mistake: some changes have been made and sure enough, here they come. See that little, freckle-faced, blushing freshman girl with that eager get-down-to-work look on her face: she's new. Well, well, cast your eyes upon the beaming new editors. I'm sure that this new staff with its new members will do their best to make the annual as enjoyable and interesting this year as in previous years. Soon after the class is organized. the supervisor and editor-in-chief assign the various activities to the respective staffs. Now the work has really begun. Busy scribes interview teachers and students to obtain their needed information. For weeks they wrack their brains for an original idea. What's another word that means the same as 'do'? , How do you spell Troubadourian? , What does philosophize mean? -- all these questions become part of their everyday conversation. Then comes the time when all assignments are due. After the articles are corrected and rewritten the Mirror goes to press, but by no means is all the work completed. Mounting. identifying. assembling, and many other details must be done to make the Mirrorr a success. The Mirror serves as a diary of our school days. It shows our individual climb to fame during our high school career. We know that every senior after he graduates, no matter what occupation he chooses. will want at frequent intervals to look through his school yearbook. Tomorrow's banker, tomorrow's lawyer, doctor, and accountant can look back into his carefree life by leafing through the pages of that book entitled THE MIRROR. Since this is our first full school year in wartime, it was decided that the style of the articles should be of a more serious and purposeful nature. While we are on this subject of war, do you realize how many countries in this present world are able to publish books like ours? It is a comparatively small number. Knowing that the students of these war-stricken countries have lost this privilege, should make us cherish ours more dearly. Is it fair that one war-monger has the right to ruin the lives of so many hundreds of children? Think of the many brilliant minds that formerly would have studied medicine. science, music, or some other beneficial or entertaining field. They are now being used to operate this horrible war machine. This year's literary staff editors include Charles Grady, editor-in-chief: John Pletcher. associate editor: Evelyn Schurr, senior editor: Joan Lutes, club editor: Trevor Craig, sports editor: Helen R. Miller, activity editor: Richard Foulkes, art editor: Joan Thompson, make-up editor: Margaret Watkins, identification editor: Dorothy Miller, honor roll editor. Miss Jeanette E. Stuart acted as our very capable literary supervisor. Staff members were Mike Davidian, Harvey Basinger, Martha Pierson, Betty Yessenow. Deana Fillips, Mollie Kamin, Barbara Leiiler, Ruth Esther May, Kathleen Niemeyer, Janice Graeser, Betty Phillips, Mary Krouse. Barbara Breckenridge, Mary Ann Neuman, Jean Fontaine. and Jeanette Elliott. The business staff includes Dorothy Irvin, advertising manager: Gordon Misch and Helen Ann Schalf, senior business managers: Howard Gary, photography manager, and Mr. H. C. Heffner, faculty manager. The advertising staff includes Tom Roess, Nancy Heil, Jeanne Mc- Donald, Florence Wilcox, and Delores Bryan. This is your book-enjoy it! -HELEN R.

If they are able to report their news as they see it and without falsification and exaggeration, they are truly an asset to their country. To promote a higher standard of journalism is the purpose of the I. H. S. H. S. J.-Inter- national Honorary Society for High School Journalists, known to you as the Quill and Scroll. Work is demanded of all members of this group, but work never harmed anyone. Upon graduation the student will realize that his experience in journalism will prove a valuable aid. and not detrimental to any vocation he pursues. To attain the honor of becoming a member of the Quill and Scroll, the candidate must be a junior or senior in high school and rank in the upper one-third of his class scholastically for the year in which he is recommended. He must earn 1500 points on the literary or business staff of either Mirror publication. and must have done outstanding work. He is recommended by his advisor and the recommendation must be accepted by the National Executive Board of Quill and Scroll. The very impressive oath repeated by all candidates on becoming members is: I do solemnly covenant with these persons here assembled that I will ever be true to the ideals of Quill and Scroll. On my sacred honor I pledge myself to do all in my power to aid the cause of better journalism. May Ciod help me to do so. -'HELEN R. NIILLER Veterans ol the Rostrum EXTRA! EXTRA! ------ CENTRAL STUDENTS WIN HONORS! DEBATE CONTESTS REVEAL CENTRAL'S GREAT ORATORSI Resolved: That a federal world government should be established. This was the great question of the year. Our debate team spent many hours gathering material, studying, and debating this question. The squad was chosen through tryouts at the beginning of the year as follows: affirmative- Deana Fillips, Eddie Washington, and Richard Riggs: negative-Ann Alexander, Kate Bon- figlio, and Betty Newland. Due to the present-day war situation the debate squad was unable to make as many trips as they desired. but they did travel some and really did prove to other high school debate teams that Central had produced a conscientious and successful squad. On January 30 they traveled to Sylvania where they were the victors in six out of eight rounds. On February I0 they journeyed to Kenton to participate in a practice debate with Marys- ville. No decision was made at this meet. Then the great day arrived-the day for the Northwestern Ohio District League at Findlay. After debating with Port Clinton, Millbury, Sylvania, and Napoleon, Central received the trophy for first place. Millbury ranked second. The squad then went to Columbus and the State Tournament but was eliminated at the end of the preliminary round. Massillon took first place honors at this meet. On March 26 the negative team traveled to Hamilton. and on April 2 Hamilton's affirma- tive visited Lima Central. On March 9 Deana Fillips, Richard Riggs, Kate Bonfiglio, and Betty Newland spoke at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club. They used the current question of the year for this debate. This year Central was unable to attend the annual tournament of the Western Ohio District of the National Forensic League. In previous years they received honors at this tournament. Oongratulations, team and Mr. Boylan, for the fine piece of work you did for Central High School this year. --HELEN R.

But you are definitely a member of this splendid organization. Everyone of the students at Central High School is an honorary member of the Junior Red Cross Council, and it is an honor well worth having. Now that the war has come. the Junior Red Cross Councils in the high schools of America have an even greater job to do. At the first of the year the Council sponsored a pencil drive, and the money obtained from this sale was used for miscellaneous expenses, such as postage in sending packages to our boys. You may not be very lonely, but think of our lads over seas in Guadalcanal, on the Solomon Islands. in Africa and in ever so many farfdistant battle points. There may be nights when these boys have nothing to do. Wandering over the local U. S. O. center, he picks up the well known novel UESCAPEH. which you, a mere junior in high school, so willingly relinquished during the recent Victory Book Campaign sponsored by the Council. Aren't you proud of yourself? Doesn't it make you feel good to think that you helped the war effort in your own little way? Another of the outstanding projects undertaken by the Red Cross Council was the making of soldier kits. The kits are used by the soldiers for belongings. When the boys are sent on overnight maneuvers, there is the problem of carrying such little things as a toothbrush. tooth- paste, hair brush and shoe horn. This is solved by the soldiers kit. When ottr boys suffer from exposure or other injuries. they need help: and they know that there is always one place where they can find this needed assistance. When a mother bids her son farewell. she knows he will be safe if misfortune befalls him because she knows the Red Cross will be there too. The Junior Red Cross and the Red Cross need help and cooperation from everyone, and without this help they cannot function. Remember this the next time you are asked to con- tribute aid to the world's greatest mother, the Red Cross. The Junior Red Cross Council's ofhcers for the previous year were Helen Weaver, presi- dent: Priscilla Gregg, vice president: Mary Helen Altstetter. secretary: Jean Hull, treasurer: and Miss Evelyn M. Lackey, advisor. --lVl0l.l.lE KAMIN M1 14-- We C . L U B S ,,,,-, Q x ,,. QMS ' wb? , C I W X N' Qi I MQ, A W ,Q f X, ,, Q, fl ' NE if . E s.

This group composed of junior and senior boys sets an admirable example of clean sportsmanship throughout the entire school. The boys are taught good sportsmanship in athletics, both as active participants and as spectators. To further clarify this statement it must be said that although the members of the baskeball, fooball, baseball, and other teams can be depended on to play a clean, healthy, honest game, the spectators are some- times not such good sportsmen. They often shout insulting remarks at the opposing team and referees. They throw paper and other refuse on the playing space and altogether make themselves more of a nuisance than a morale-building unit. The members of the Hi-Y are urged to prac- tice clean spectator spirits and to set an example for others to follow. In the mass of people crowding the bleachers for an exciting game, the boys who curb their enthusiasm and are always willing to give the other fellow an even break can usually be counted on to be Hi-Y boys. According to the club's advisor, Mr. A. W. Craft, the purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter, cleanspeech, scholarship, sportsmanship, and Christian living. Recently the Hi-Y meetings have been of a type that will keep the boys in the selection of a vocation. Prominent business and professional men of this community have been the guest speakers. They have attempted to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the various careers and businesses in which they are experts. Throughout the entire year the club has had a full program of dances, swimming meets, and other activities. The ofiicers of the Senior Hi-Y Club are as follows: president, Jack Davisson: vice presi- dent, Bob Bowman: secretary, Don Geiger: treasurer, Richard Romaker: program chariman. Arthur Vittut. -MARTHA PIERSON Building Better Men - When in the very near future it becomes necessary for the boys who are now freshmen and sophomores to take their places as leaders in their community and nation, some of them will be grateful for the training they received in the Junior Hi-Y Club. With the accent on methods of achievement, rather than the ultimate goal reached. the background of comradeship, sportsman- ship, and good fellowship will be gratefully remembered. In the mere recitation of the purpose of the Hi-Y can be found some of the spirit of willingness to work and win that is the trademark of Hi-Y boys: The purpose of the Hi-Y is to initiate, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the spirit of high standards in Christian character. The goal being achieved through clean speech, good scholarship, honest sportsmanship, and Christian living. The types of meeting held by the Jr. Hi-Y are of the members' own choice. Speeches designed to awaken in the boys an eagerness for service and leadership in their school and nation are often given by outstanding members of the community. The meetings also have their lighter side. There is always time for a swim, a game of tennis, baseball, or basketball, for active sports produce healthy bodies and clear minds. In the Hi-Y there is more to sports than the individual glory of the boys on the playing field: there is an emphasis on the sportsmen in the bleachers. One of the first things a Hi-Y member is taught is to be a good sport in the game or in the audience. A Hi-Y boy will never be found booing the umpires or the opponents or in any jvay creating a disturbance. Such acts are against his creed and are therefore discouraged. These Hi-Y boys are seeting a fine example that can be followed to advantage by the other members of the student body. The officers of the Jr. Hi-Y are Art Orchard, president: Don Rohrbach, vice president: Jack Butler, treasurer: Wilbur Swineford, secretary: and Mr. Franklin Laman, advisor. -MARTHA PIERSON --l I 7----- 3 fr: ya E - if 5553? Their Goal---Perfection As a Girl Reserve I will try to face life squarely and to find and give the best. Every member of the Blue Triangle clubs has uttered this oath. It is the watchword of the Blue Triangle and is to be closely followed by all members of the club. The symbol of the Girl Reserve club is an inverted triangle within a circle. One side of the triangle stands for the mind: another side for the body: and the third side for the spirit or soul. The first side, the mind, indicates that a Girl Reserve believes in studying hard, in thinking honest thoughts, and in learning as much as she can each day. The body side means that a Girl Reserve tries to keep a strong, healthy body, and to exercise through sports. This means that she is to eat nutritious foods, get enough sleep, and to follow rules of cleanliness and good health habits. The spirit side represents the Girl Reserve's love of God and the Golden Rule of Love thy neighbor. To do this, worship services are held by the club members. This blue triangle within a circle is also symbolized by three lighted candles, the red for health, the blue for knowledge, the white for spirit. In the beginning of each school year. recognition services are held for the new members. At this meeting the candlelight service is used. An old member lights and gives to a new member her candle. In so doing, the new members are accepted into the friendly circle of the Girl Reserves and join with the others in the search for healthy bodies, alert minds, and Christian-like lives, so that they may be of service in the world in which they live. This is a critical time for all the world and for the girls who are growing up in it. The way seems dim and uncertain. It is necessary that the Girl Reserve remember that each individual in the world is important and that they must do their share toward making the world a decent place for all people. In order to do this they need to have high ideals. The Girl Reserves have had a great variety of programs throughout the year. Lctures have been given by prominent people and discussions have been held. The Senior Blue Triangle members were guests of the South Blue Triangle for a chili supper held at the Y. M. C. A., and the Central Girl Reserves gave them a hiking party in return. The Junior Blue Triangle held a spaghetti supper. Both clubs enjoyed the liberties of the gym for dancing, ping-pong, basketball and darts. The girls of the club have often joined the Y. W. C. A. Oflicers of the Senior Blue Triangle are Ann Alexander, president: Ruth McMakin, vice president: Helen Ann Schaff, treasurer: and Deana Fillips, secretary. Miss Gladys Riggs is supervisor of the club. Members elected as officers of the Junior Blue Triangle are Mary Ann Dinkel, president: Lou Anna Hennon. vice president: Betty Lou Lindsay, secretaryg and Josephine Smith, treasurer. The supervisor of the club is Miss Mary Watson. -DEANA FILLIPS 1'-lrrlhwl SOPHOMURE BLUE TRIANGLE ow l Bcity Ruff, Ann Sws-4-my, Ruth Stvlmlvins, .lvzsnno Nirv, Czxrniyn llzikor, Nnrmzi VVHHZ, Row 2- lvun Svhntt.

About thirty members attended every meeting and found fun and entertainment galore. Many of their good times proved very valuable: for example, the Saturday afternoon the girls spent baking four hundred and fifty cookies for the American Women Voluntary Service Canteen. The cookies were served to the hungry service men passing through on trains. Another Saturday the girls held a successful rummage sale. Some of the girls gave their time during Christmas vacation in caring for small children at the nursery school. After the Christmas vacation a scavenger hunt was held, followed by a taffy pull . ln the spring the girls held chili supper and then assembled in a group to attend a Central High basketball game. At another meeting Miss Evelyn Lackey addressed the club on the topic Manners in Everyday Life . Miss Sally Gray, a representative of our Tuberculosis Hospital, made another meeting enjoyable with her quiz program on What Do You Know About Health? Miss Mary Church, speaking on her coin collection, provided the club members with details and points of interest to look for on each coin. At a later meeting the club program was given over to a group discussion of Boy and Girl Friendships . The Sophomore Blue Triangle went in a body to one of Lima's local churches. At the last meeting the girls were considering an all day hike. The ofiicers for this year were Dorothy Neuman, president: Marjorie Reese. vice president: Marjorie Johns, secretary: and Ann Sweeney, treasurer. Committee chairmen were chosen as follows: Jeanne Nue, program: Betty Downing, socialg Florence Wilcox, service: Marjorie Reese, membership. In spite of numerous conflicting events, the Sophomore Blue Triangle held regular meet- ings throughout the year and gave their complete support and cooperation to all civic and school activities. They are looking forward to their junior year as one of leadership and service to their community and school. This year the Freshman Blue Triangle has been made a success under the supervision of Miss Mary Belle Linnell. The outstanding officers who have been presiding for this school year are Katie Inoway, president: Ann White, vice president: Barbara Wheeler, secretary: and Virginia Savage, treasurer. This club has an enrollment of twenty members. These ninth year pupils have found entertaining times every first and third Thursday at the Y. W. C. A. Two of the special programs that were presented were a tour of the Lima State Hospital, and a Christmas dinner. During the Christmas dinner songs of glad tidings and joy filled the air in a very Christmas like manner. During the last meeting plans were discussed for a rummage sale. They also considered a tour either to the Saint Rose Church or to the Telephone Exchange. The Y. W. C. A., which is the meeting place, contains a large gymnasium where the girls compete in athletic bouts. They also dance to the strains of music from the record-player. Down the stairs are large living rooms where the girls may put on plays for their enjoyment and serve refreshments. A large kitchen has also been provided. About half of them cook at one time and the others cook the next time. This has always been a favorite pastime. Boys, unless you want your stomach to suffer, be sure the girl you pick has been a member of the Freshman Blue Triangle. The freshman girls have well fulfilled their purpose which is to seek happy school life and higher standards of conduct. They are looking forward to their sophomore year with plenty of enthusiasm, and next year is sure to be as successful as this one has been. -BARBARA LEFFLER --121- Wf M Q 5 W? Q gy MV ,cl W-. 'Pwr Qur Youngest Girl Reserves As a girl reserve I will try to be gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service .... These are but a few of the many pledges made by the girl reserve of today. We may be asking ourselves just what a girl reserve is and if the organization can only be found in the United States. The Girl Reserves are the Young Women's Christian Association. The Y. W. C. A. is a world wide organization of women and girls of many different social and economic groups. races, nationalities, and creeds. This organization is found in over fifty countries although it is carried on in different ways. We have in our school an Eighth Grade Blue Triangle composed of girls who try to find and give the best at all times. They enjoy meeting and discussing problems of life and topics of present day interest. During the previous year the girls made scrap books composed of jokes and continued stories. These were sent to the U. S. O. to be distributed among our armed forces for reading entertainment. The symbol of the Girl Reserves is a triangle within a circle. The triangle pictures the three sides of a growing personality, body, mind, and spirit. Thus the triangle represents the individual club member, and the circle represents the world in which she lives. As a girl works hard to face life and give her best, her triangle expands like her growing self. The symbol is her trade mark and a daily reminder to herself and others of the way she wishes to live. Under the helpful and capable supervision of Miss Ruth Chiles, the Eighth Grade Girl Reserves have worked hard in trying to uphold the duties of their organization. We may truth- fully say they have succeeded. The Girl Reserves' aim is to help a girl to develop a well balanced personality. Being a Girl Reserve means living one's best today with dreams for tomorrow. The Eighth Grade Blue Triangle oflicers were selected as follows: Trella Reddick, president: Jean Furnish, vice president: Jean Young. secretary, and Joan Young, treasurer. A The youngest group of Girl Reserves is that of the seventh grade. This is their first year. and being a member of the Blue Triangle or Girl Reserves is a' new experience for each and everyone of them. What do they do at the meeting? Are they fun? Where do they meet and how often? These are some of the questions first heard by inquisitive and anxious seventh graders. These questions can be answered simply and quickly. Let us take the program enacted by the seventh graders of the previous year. The girls were taught to knit. and today the able fingers of our youth are working away at scarfs. socks, and sweaters for our fighting boys. Later the subject of charm was discussed. Three committees were selected to discuss what charm is and how it can be of use. The social committee reported on the meaning of the word charm. and the service committee explained charm through cleanliness. The care of hands and the charm of getting along with others was explained by the membership committee. Is it fun? Picnics, roller skating, ping pong, badminton, dances, and numerous other games are provided as entertainment for this organization. The meetings are held at the Y, W. C. A. every other week and forty or forty-five girls answer to roll call. The Girl Reserve is one who is constantly storing up or placing in reserve those qualities and attitudes that will help her find and fill her place in the world and build up the finest in her home, her church, her school and her community. As a girl leaves high school there is a place for her in the Y. W. C. A. It may be a business girls' club, an industrial girls' club, a college Y. W. C. A., or a position as a club advisor, or a committee member. She's a part of the Y. W. C. A. movement which is an idea as much as it is an organization. This idea is to help girls and women grow into fine person- alities and to make a better society. The ofiicers for the seventh grade organization are Betty Boop, president: Janice Dickman, vice president: Jane Davisson, secretary: Janice Courtenay, treasurer: and Miss Rosella Kelly, club advisor. -MOLLIE KAMIN -4123- SS S p i: 2 T ,gn 23,- W: . 3 ' ,..' f ' .

The technical aspect of picture-making deals with the developing and printing of the negative. Not only do they take pictures, but their work is to plan and arrange the picture. This requires artistic talent. The mechanics of the camera, the chemical reactions of the negative, the Hxation process, and the liquiding technique are also taught to this group. In the picture-snapping world, experience is one of the vital necessities for the making of a good photographer. Remember the old saying that practice makes perfect? Well, it certainly is true in this case. for members found experiments pertaining to their work really helpful. Central's Camera Club offers to any member a pleasing time, helpful knowledge, and enter- taining diversion as well as teaching them a sense of beauty and proportion and an appreciation of art. All meetings held by the group proved instructional. and the year as a whole was referred to as one grand revolution of the sun around the ecliptic. Officers chosen were Howard Gary, president: Bob McBeth. clerk and Mr. E. I.. Huber. advisor. -lu be Testers They don't claim to be future Marconi's. They only intend to learn a little about the radio-its technical, mechanical, and scientific aspects.

In the world of today youth plays a vital part in the war ellort. These club members may some day become radio technicians-important workers in the world of today and tomorrow. Any club teaching students such handy knowledge is regarded as 'itops with everyone-students. teachers. and the government.

Each Tuesday night when ten-thirty rolls around and radios are dialed to the stations which feature Red Skelton. members of the Radio Club sit by the radio, not listening to what is happening to Junior. but watching the action of the condenser as the velocity gradually in- creases. Perhaps it sounds dull and lifeless to some youths who do not envision any fun in seeing what makes a radio hum, but no one can imagine the thrills and pleasure plus knowledge gained from experimenting with these all-important objects. Officers serving this year were Jack Shoup. president: Earl Dillehay, vice president: John I.andis. secretary and treasurer. Aeronauts The cockpit's too small-lengthen the propeller-oh gee, that's a beaut-boy! Ray's is a honeyl Just a few snatches of conversation overheard during a recent meeting of the Model Air- plane club are quoted above. , Imagine the fervor and excitement tingling in the veins of a young American as he models the airplane of his dreams and actually builds it. making a few scraps of wood work magic in becoming an airplane that flies, does tailspins. and performs feats astounding to the observer as well as the builder. This club which boasts a membership of thirty-four teaches its members the mechanics of the airplane and also the technicalities of the sky rider. Supervised by Mr. E. C. Clark. various types, classes, and groups of airplanes are built and experimented with. The knowledge derived from these experiments is guaranteed to aid the youth in his later life. Perhaps the builder of the P-39 will soon be flying his dream ship up there somewhere and he'll be prepared. Re- member he was a member of the Central High School Model Airplane Club. which taught him the mechanics and other vital information regarding the original P-39 he chose as his model for the school. With well prepared flyers like these all we can say is: WATCH OUT HIROHITO. ADOLF, AND BENITO, WE MEAN BUSINESS! Of course, they won't all be fliers, but the knowledge taught them will prove valuable anywhere, regardless of where they are--on land, on the sea, or in the air. This year's officers were Jack Mohr, president: Leon Dunning, vice president: Bob Basinger. secretary, and John Foote, treasurer. -BETTY YESSENOW --1 25- ww' A 4--s yn... . ...A l I X?-, A K Q10 Bi s Row I--Lux-llzl Mvflnin.

Keepers ol the -lomes Surrounded by books, members of Central's Library Club assemble in the Library every lirst and third Wednesday of the month. for discussions of their work and the many books in the library. Membership is limited to only those who work in the library during their study hall periods. Their work consists of checking books in and out, returning permits to study halls, shelving books-that is. assembling them alphabetically on the shelves, and other duties concern- ing the library. I, During the meetings, mistakes made in the library are pointed out to the students, con- tests are conducted such as matching authors and titles, and book reviews are given by the students to increase their knowledge of new books brought into the library. For variation members of the Library Club held several parties during the year. Officers of the club are president. Delores Edwards: vice president, Mary Helser: secretary. Jane Widmarlt: and treasurer, Luella McClain. Mr. Nathan Dubester was the former supervisor of the club until he enlisted in the Navy late in the fall. Mrs. E. I.. Huber is the present supervisor. Many thanks are due the members of the Central Library Club, who have devoted so much of their time to giving the students of Central splendid library service. Where Business ls pleasure The greatest aim of the members of the Commercial Club is preparation for their positions in the future business world. Topics concerning commercial subjects were given and thoroughly discussed by the stu- dents. Throughout the year members of the club were given demonstrations showingi the work of the dictaphone, the dictograph. and many other machines used in modern-equipped ollices. During one club period members took from dictation the World's Worst Transcripts. To acquire better knoweldge of how our newspaper is published. the club took a trip to the Lima News plant. There they visited all parts of the plant, delving deep into its intricate working parts. For a distinctly business-like atmosphere, the Commercial Club meetings were held in Room 302. This club met every hrst and third Wednesday of the month. There each mem- ber of the club sat behind a typewriter and sensed the surroundings of a business oflice. Across the hall in the commercial ofhce were the machines which were demonstrated to the students by their supervisor, Mr. C. R. DeLong. Through this constant practice of observation and working, members gained a goodly amount of experience. It seems that ignorance has no place in future commercial work and must steadily give way to intelligent understanding. Here stu- dents accumulate a greater knowledge of every phase of the business world which they hope to enter in future years. During their lirst meeting, members of the Commercial Club selected Mary I.ytle, president: Charlotte Haller, vice president: and Phyllis Miller, secretary-treasurer. -DEANA FILLIPS -127- JR.

M1 28-- Cub Reporters The Junior High Journalism Club was organized in 1941 by Mr. Martin Winemiller. The purpose of this club is to introduce the fundamental principles of reporting and writing to students in their eighth year of school. The members of this club gather together data and submit it to the staff of the Junior Mirror . If these staff heads find it interesting and in good form. it is then published. Besides reporting for this club some of the members have unusual talent for writing short stories and poetry. Many take up journalism just for a pastime, but others are making it a basis for newspaper work in later years. The Junior High Journalism Club helped in the Who's Who contest. which was sub- mitted to the pupils of both junior and senior high school. The oflicers of this club are Joe Fountaine, president: Carol Cisco, vice president: Jeannine Moreo, secretary: Joyce Reynolds, assistant secretary: Shirley Wells. treasurer: and Mr. Martin Winemiller, the advisor. There has been a membership of twenty-Eve who faithfully attend every meeting. On Thursday. February 17, the nrst Junior Mirror was sent to press. The young journalists covered all junior high clubfjunior high basketball, Red Cross, intramural activities. interviews. and many other interesting events. They have proven so successful that the news sheets may be made a permanent endeavor. -BARBARA LEFFLIER Reading, Riting encl ,Rithmetic Way back in the days of Alley Oop all people lacked the knowledge of writing. They just waved their hands or drew crude pictures or did something to get others to understand because they couldn't talk or write. Then one day a man by the name of Fulton came along. As he was playing with a piece of lead, he happened to drop it on a piece of paper. and he noticed it made a mark. Of course, this was after a universal language was adopted, but never- theless that's how it happened. We've been writing ever since. We use writing to identify ourselves and for other things too. What if everyone just used X as his name? Everything would be at a standstill. ' ' Today, as never before. writing has become the habit of the day. Many' boys have left their homes and gone to fight. and the only way of knowing what's happening over there and back here is through writing. A well-written letter is our first line of defense as a morale builder for this country. Many adults as Well as children are poor writers, and Miss Clara Helle has found a remedy for just such a situation. She has established a writing club which goes all out for betterment in penmanship. This club has proven both entertaining and educational to its forty-five members. l The officers of this club are Dean Hauenstein, president: Bill Howard, vice president: How- ard Shephard. secretary: and Janet Shephard, treasurer. One of the special acomplishments completed by these seventh and eighth graders were attractively written papers with borders of exercises in writing. The pupils meet every Wednesday in Room 351. Many have attained success in improving their writing. and the others are rapidly reaching that goal. -BARBARA LEPFLER -1 29- BACHELORS CLUB Row 1-Gt-rald Goodwin, Bud Stoddztrtl, Bill Kelly, Boli Hurst-y, Jim Berry, Ralph Guht-rtliel, Roger Kolilt-r.

Broth-Spoilers A woman's place is in the home has been an old belief for years. It had been ex- pounded and delicately dealt with by men for centuries. lfirmly, the man had placed the woman in the kitchen back in the days of our Pilgrim fathers. Piously, the women went to church and thence home. With th: coming of the pioneers. woman became more independent. had more say-so although kitchen drudgery was still her problem. But when the United States adopted a more democratic system of representation. women demanded their rights as citizens of this country. Before it was realized. the fight for womens rights started. and many years later suffrage was extended to all the women who were citizens of the United States. What women didn't realize in their so-called fight for representation was that from now on it was to be a struggle for seats in street cars and buses. a fight to see who was to go through th: door first. and a Wrestling match as to who should be waited on first in the de- partment store. But the greatest sacrifice of all was their loss of the kitchen privileges. Oh yes. women are immensely proud of their kitchens, even though they strenuously object to them. Alas. we have the same situation in our own school. The Bachelors' Club has proudly taken over what they term their kitchen. But we cannot avoid the truth. The boys have adapted themselves easily to kitchen methods. Every other Wednesday during club period, tan- talizing odors seep through the cracks of the doors leading into Room 205. and pierce the nos- trils of many a student passing by. The boys have prepared many tempting concoctions such as spaghetti. chili soup. pie Call flavors, mmmmll, cake, and cookies. The boys don gay aprons when they commence to cook: and although their aprons are not so gay after the food is pre- pared. the boys are gayer. for soup's on. Officers of the Bachelors' Club this year were president, Dave Cox: vice president, Lyle Snow: secretary. Ralph Gaberdiel: and treasurer, Don Mclilwee. Miss Phyllis Mendenhall is supervisor of the club. -.DIQANA ifttites -130- DIAMONDS WATCHES Q 'vv v 4, X ilsffn 7fAQ To I IE 4 5 Z JEWELRY STORE l..uMA U IZO N.
