June ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK.. 1932 IOBS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL GRAD A Resume fEdltor's Note: Reallzlng the urgent need f0l' new 01' lll'lCl'0Wd0d VUCBUUDS IKICO WhlCh the high school graduate or was mlght august himself. we commissioned Rachel rrerrmgtcn, YESEBTCRI worker, to Slll'V9y the SRUTAIIOH and make suitable recommendatlons. After a great deal of deliberation and stewlng around. the author nnally managed to wrlte the followlng article which seems scarcely to justify her ex- pense account! s - Q ADVERTISING BEDS N12 VERY good job for the high school grad, and one in which he surely has acquired enough experience during his four year loaf ln this famed building, is selling beds. If this advice is heeded, suc- cess ls sure to follow. Apply for the job at any reliable furniture store. Lf the proprietor looks doubtful. explain to him that you have insomnia and other diseases and can't sleep well nlghts lavold mentlon of daytime sleep- ing, thought: tell him lf you can sleep in his beds, anyone can. If you're hired, all's well and good: if you're not you'll have to lock farther for a job, but you'rl think a man would be glad to have some up and coming young salesman sell his beds for him. When you get the job, the bed wlll be in the front window. Climb in and settle down for a good snooze. Snore as loud as you Want-all the better to sell the bed, my dear. No one wlll be there to prod you in the ribs and tell you to shut up or you'll wake up the baby. This assuredly ls a cheap way of living tprovlded you procure such a jobj. RAISING SINGERS Spring or summer ls the best time of the year for catching birds. This will be ine for you June grads. As soon as you see a keen songster, grab your net and chase the bird -most probably waving your net wlldly in the air. When you finally catch the bird, you very carefully carry it home to survey the treasure only to find lt has turned out to be a soarrow. If after innumerable tries you are finally able to catch a singer, the bird wlll probably pine away and die lin that case you'll have just a dead blrdb or he'll eat and grow Un that case you'll have more trouble than it the bird were deadl. Now comes the job of training the feathered songster to sing when song is desired and to keep still when song is not desired. When or ll' you succeed in accomplishing this mar- vel. your next job will be to sell your prod- uct. Should you succeed ln thls, you wlll have overcome your greatest hazard and be assured of success thereafter. MAKDWG LAMPSHADES Anyone inclined toward the artistic will grab at this opportunity to make money by making lampshades. You can go to town to buy some paper for the shade, but by the time you reach the store you have forgotten the name of the paper used. For a couple of hours you patiently explain to the more patient clerk that it looks like wax paper but lsn't. Finally when you tell her that it's for a lamp shade, she gives you some paper which she thinks ls the right kind but which you're not at all sure ls. Startlng shade you fold, crlnkle, and when you're almost flnlshed, have folded it in the wrong work on the crease, until, you find you place. Then you must get out your ironing board and sprinkler and press out the creases qI'll not say what lady-like language you wlll use to the accompaniment of the lronl. when at last you have a smooth piece ol paper, you again crease, crlnkle, and fold. If you have enough perserverance and patience to finish the job, the shade will probably never be sold, for you think lt COMMENCEMENT ACTIVITIES 0 THE STRAINS of the stately Pump and Circumstance March, played by the Central Senior High School Orchestra, 162 graduatlng seniors will assemble ln the auditorium on Friday, June 10, at 10 a. m. for the long-anticipated grad- uation exercises. The salutatory address, entitled Invests ments, will be delivered by Jeannette Little. Robert Ewlng, chosen valedictorian, wlll pre- sent hls speech called Four Years. Today's Challenge to Youth is the title of the oratlon to be given by Alvin Gillette, senior class president. The Reverend George Hunt, pastor of the Christ Presbyterian Church, wlll give the invocation and benedlction. Tenebrae Factae Sunt' and C hl llu n Come On Home are the two selections to be sung by the Mixed Chorus under Miss Ilah Lunt's direction. In addition to the opening number, the orchestra will play Allegro from the 12th Symphony by Mozart and Coronation March from the Prophet by Meyerbeer. The diplomas will be presented by a mem- ber of the board of education. One of the most important pre-graduation activities wlll be Class Night to be held on Wednesday, June B, at 8 o'cIock. The presl- dent or the senior class, Alvin Glllett, will deliver the usual Address of Welcome. Advlce to the Juniors will be given by Josephine Zaccone, with Charles DuBois responding for the juniors. Betty I-Ierrled will present the Senior Farewell. Elva Dunham. class prophet, and Bernice Cohn, class historian, make up the cast for Class Prophecy. The scene is to be laid on shipboard durlng a round-the-world cruise in 19521 Music will compose an important part of 1lf8J1 would be an lmustice to you. Never wlll it be used ln your own room, and least of all in the parlor. Probably that poor over-worked lampshade will end its joumey ln the base- ment on Ted's work table. WASHHTG THE CAPITOL For the graduate who can find nothing better to do, there ls always open the job of Washing the outside of the Capitol, We might then know the actual color of our Capitol building. He'd have to begin at the top, of course. While he's there he might polish the statue. At first he'll have a slck- enlng feeling ln the pit of his stomach when he looks down and gets a blrds-eye view of Madison. but in the course of time that'll pass away. Think of the window-washers! They have nothlng below them it they should fall, while only a few hundred feet below the Capitol-Washer is a balcony upon which the high school grad could fall lf he directed the course of gravity there. When he has finished washing up and down and around, he has only to walt at the bottom for some kind-hearted person to put a donation lnto his out-held hat. And he probably will keep on waiting, waltlng, and waiting. CUTTING SILHOUETTES You, dear grad who wants to save money. can make silhouettes for presents. If later you become skilled at the art, you can start a. business and sell them. First, of course. when you are ready to cut out your silhou- ette, you will have to have someone to pose for you. Then you take your scissors in hand and proceed to out his pronle. To your hor- ror and discomfort you have left out his chin. Again you try. This time the lower lip is left out, Again and again you try but with no success. At last when your model seems to tire of posing for you. you hlt upon a scheme-tracing on paper the shadow oi' his prolile on the wall! When the shaky out- line has been cut out and pasted on con- mrxease tum to Page 'rwentv-'rwcr this program also, as the orchestra wlll ren- der three numbers, Lakesonlan March by L. M. Lake, An Album Leaf by Wagner. and In a Chinese Garden by Ketelby. The Glrls' Double Trio will also sing a number ul' selections. William. Bethel, Mary Ellen McEvllly, Ethel O'Nell and Ronald Starkweather have made arrangements for the Class Banquet, to be held at the Loraine Hotel on Wednesday, June 8. Bemard's Park has been designated as the place to hold the Class Picnic on Thursday. June 9. The committee for this consists of John Dahlk, Edna Balsley, Allce Woulfe, Robert Wellman, Roland Martens, Vernon Conlln, Willard Rubnitz, Genevleve Cusick. Myrtle Muzzy, Marjorie Smith, and Ber- nice Cohn make up the Announcement com- mittee. Charles Statz ls the author of the Class Motto, which ls Keep Faith Though the World Seem Falthlessi' The Class Flower is the rose, and the Class Colors are robln's egg blue and pink. .seam l ,H , , Wi, , ,W , +I

1932 ..TI-IE ORANGE AND BLA CK.. June CENTRAL TELLS HER OWN STORY EEK after Commencement-Well, the magazine for the nrst semester came out thls last week. Boy! Wasn't there a grand scramble when lt did? My poor feet were so stepped on that my eorns are giving me nts, Why, the klds kept continually run- ning from the gyms to the top floor gettlng signatures. I felt sort of hurt about that too: you see, they never once let me put ln my signature ll know I can't write, but they could have dropped their magazines on my dusty floors, and I would have made a markl even though they're always marking on me -my desks, my walls. my blackboards. my floors, and my books. I have been hearing rumbles and grumbles about the magazine. too. It seems that everyone thought it WBS punk, because it had only twelve pages. Anyway lt's nlce to know that they relished what they dld get enough to want more. Sh! I'm going to let everybody in on a secret. Santa Claus brought me a dlary for Christ- mas, so I'm going to use lt all this coming semester. This ls the first page tsplashl and. oh goodness, I've made one blot already. Glmme your blotter? Thanks, my. but lt's lonesome around here without the Seniors. Perhaps I'll get a chance to sleep now. Goodnight. . Q - s 4 EIBRUARY 18-At last Herlock Sholmes and I have solved the great mystery which has been bothering the wisest minds of Scotland Yards of late. The mys- tery: what has been making Ronald Stark- weather and Walter Foster look like poets? The solution to this baffling question is slm- ple: They have been letting their halr grow long not because of the depression but be- cause they must do so for the play tomorrow night. After looklng around we saw that others ln the cast are doing the same thing. That means that there are going to be wigs -and more wigs. We hope Aleen wlll get a nice high one-just to make up some of the difference fn height between her and George, I-Dave another cigar, Sholmes old man, before you leave. Yes, I guess you had better go, for I ought to rest up for the big doings tomor- row night, It would never do to have circles under my eyes. Mr. Waehler might question me as to where I was last night. So long. . . . . . ARCH 4-Midnight. Ho-hum! Why can't I sleep? Guess I'll have to take an aspirin. Seems to be an awful paln ln my gymnasium. That's rlghtl It was only a half-hour or so ago that an orchestra. was playing and couples were dancing. No won- der I have lndlgestlon. Well, the few cos- tumes I could see weren't so bad: in fact. some were almost original. I was amazed for a minute when I saw two gentlemen dancing together, but upon closer observa- tlon, I was relfeved to find that one of the gentlemen was a lady. For shame, Grace. I also noticed that Mr. Waehler stayed quite near the colonnade all evening. After lnves- tlgatlon I discovered that was where the Eskimo Pies came from. Ahem! All I got for my share were wrappers thrown ln my face. As I said before. no wonder I have ln- dlgestion. . - n . . ARCH 5-Of all the terrlble outrages! I discovered this week when I eaves- dropped on the School Board meeting that there was a conspiracy going on against me! They are planning to murder me just because of a few paltry dollars! To thlnk that I, who have served my city faithfully lor so many years, should meet such an endl I challenge you, Mr. Schoolboard, to a duel and I shall use facts for weapons, Sir, why couldn't you think of cutting down expenses by-oh, I've broken two pens and a Tfcon- deroga pencil so I'll declare a moratorium on this subject until the end of the semester. Perhaps by then the Irish ire I lnherlted from my great-grandfather McDonald will look more intelligible than this-grrr?SGN- I know I shan't sleep tonlght. toast ARCH 23-The reading contest is on in full swing judging from the poetical faces everyone ls wearing. Bob Harris held hls classmates spellbound wlth rapture as he read The Nlght I-las a Thousan d Eyes. Ehzerythlng ls belng read including nursery rhymes, and everyone is reading. including John Deards. In the llbrary after school there is a sweet rush for books of poetry. Say, here's a good one. Gee, thls one's bad. Oh, then lt'll go over blg. Sure, just make 'em weep, and you got 'em. Say, kid, llsten to this one. I just about roared when I read lt. Oh, heck, thls is a swell one, but I could never get dramatic enough, Dlalects are picked on by quite a few. Jimmy I-Iamacker has hls Georga da Vashfngtonf' and others have Negro and Irish dialects. Sometimes I begln to thlnk this is Ellis Island. Shucks, I wlsh I could read poetry too. Today students looked on ln awe whlle Professor Roebuck Cao relation to Sears? made some experiments with llquld air during the audltorlum period. For one thing he busted a dlpper, a ball, a bottle. and a few other odds and ends. I was afraid he might pour some of that llquld stuff on me. What I couldn't do with a keg of that stuff. wouldn't be worth a Scotchman's church collectlonl . - . . Q PRIL 15-Well, the state tournament ls over, and I can't help but sigh as I look at all the trophies I have won in the glorious past. Clearly I can remember the day when it was taken for granted that I would be champion of everything. What- ever's the matter with me anyway? I used to have power and I stlll have power-along with an lnferiorlty complex! By and by my complex will mln my complexion, so it's high time for me to change the brand I am using before lt becomes a habit. I'm trying Pep for breakfast too. I think, t.hough, as Mr. Barnes does: someone ought to glve me a klck in the pants. .471- AY ll-Oh dear-I've such a pain In I I I my ear. Doc Barnes has just been here and diagnosed my case as acute rudeness. I guess lt has something to do wlth the concert that was held ln my auditorium last night. Wasn't I proud of my songsters, though? My chest puffed out like a paper bag when the curtains opened, but the bag broke just as I began boasting to myself about how nicely we were going to show off. Suddenly a bunch of naughty boys began hooting and laughing and talking and dls- playing all sorts of bad manners. I've prom- fsed myself ever since that lf I could catch one of those scamps ln a corner some dark night, I'd sure warm 'em plenty. You know, I've a pretty steady knee and plenty of mus- cle ln my right arm. . t - . . RIDAY, May 13-Horrors! Will I ever get through the day safely? All ready unusual thlngs are taking place, This mornlng my auditorium was darkened and another Friday momlng program began. To my utter astonishment and constematlon lt was neither a talk on flowers and trees nor a one-act play. The nrst thlng I knew a youngster who calls himself Ed Kilgore was oulllng rabbits out of sllk hats and making things disappear in the alr. Funny, the handcuff and box act dldn't seem to make such a whopper of an impression. After- ward I heard a llttle lad Knot Jay Ashbrook? remark dlsgustedly. I-Ie lsn't no Hadlnl. Well, how does he know that Houdlnl was any better? He never saw him. One thing dlsappolnted me. however: Eddy dldn't have a magic word, and 1 was looking for lt all the tlme. I imagine he wore his out using it as a walking stlck. . . . . . MAY 25-It's ralnlngl . . . . . UNE 2-Once more the year has rolled around and graduation is at hand. Again I must say Good-bye to my children. It isn't so hard, though, for I think I have won the flght and will be here again next year with a new dress and shoes on, So long, everybody. Merry Christmas and I-l'aPDY New Yearl NINETY YEARS FOR CENTRAL lContlnued from Page Four! That shall be Our name nd more: Little bricks are now the biggest. bricks ln town. The students then were not very different from present-clay ones except ln a few in- stances. Everyone was greatly interested fn debating and oratory and lt seems as lf every graduate had to give an oratlon at commencement: the best one receiving the Shaw prize. The person having the highest scholastic standing was given the valedictory, the second hlghest the salutatory and the thlrd highest special mention. Fruit show- ers were much ln vogue as a method of showing the student's appreciation of his teacher and it was only ln 1889 that slnglng as a drill lesson was omltted ln the high school.
