Alutnni Roundup Why Mollvl It’s been io many years This June! Imagine you with a boy about to graduate from high school. Remember when we graduated and— Well, look at that! A program of that play I was in, awl here’s one of your commencement. Ed, did you sec all these trophies here? Say remember that championship game when you— Ruth, here's a picture of our teachers Say wasn't she a honey) ! And you were teacher's pet. “Awl then he introduced me. Was I scared? Well, look at that picture. Those are just a few snatches of the conversation wc heard while being pushed awl pulled about by the Central alumni at the reunion held on November 12 at our school, as the dignified old grads, “kids again, joyfully recalled their school days. A little later during the fashion review of gowns worn as far back as I860 until the present, the exclamations were even more vehement: “Why, she looks just like Mary when slie gave that speech in assembly! I'll bet that's the dress- How perfectly ridiculous! And we thought those styles wore marvelous when we wore them.” Ooooh Jim! Remember that—doesn't it make you feel ancient? Why I had one dress exactly like that at— Great Affair One of the famous Central-East football war , a complete and memorable historical exhibit Of souvenirs and relies of earlier student days, a highly enteraining and altogether pleasing all-alumni talent show, awl a gala alutnni dance—mixed well and garnished with a 12-page souvenir edition of the Mirror and baked with the utmost care in the heart of several hundred old grads' enthusiasm—result: a thoroughly enjoyable and successful Alumni Round-Up for dear old Central. Successful in all ways except one—the disappointment of a rather miserable trimming from East's powerful gridders. But we'll leave that disagreeable matter to our sports writers. Four Purpo»e»—The Round-Up,” one of the biggest events the school has witnessed in recent years, had four definite purposes which wc hope were in some measure fulfilled. First, the occasion was to solidify in the minds of the alumni anil present students of Central High P» . 3 the democratic spirit that has grown through the years of its existence. Second, the Round-Up was to provide the opportunity for the pleasure it might bring to alumni of getting together to talk over and relive in memory the good old days.” Third, the reunion was to help remove a h ug-standing deficit in the athletic department of the school. The fourth purpose as a part of the 300th anniversary of the American high school was to emphasize to the community of Madison the tremendous influence which Madison High and Central High Schools have been in the life and growth of the community. Miss Ruth Kcntzlcr, dramatic instructor at Central, had charge of the general arrangements of the program. Many committees. consisting of Madison's most prominent citizens, were formed to carry out the work involved in planning tlu- event. Mr. I-Co Blied was chairman of the business committee which had charge of programs. tickets awl door sales: Mr. Charles Hiukson headed the publicity committee; Mr. William Ferguson was chairman of the dance committee; Mrs. Florence Baskcrville was in charge of the alumni talent show; Miss Bcda Mackin had charge of the exhibit of historical souvenirs: Miss Theresa Kleinhcinz headed the committees in charge of arrangement of the building; Miss Caroline Young awl Mrs. Charles Abbot headed committees for collecting information; June Dead man was chairman of a committee looking after registrations and class reunions. awl Mr. Theodore llerfurth had charge of special awards for the reunion. At the dance following, music and entertainment were provides! by Bill Ferguson's orchestra. Robert Warcham, vocalist, and Leo Kchl and Mary Flynn gave an exhibition waltz. Mirror Part - And then there was the part the Mirror Staff took in the affair. Putting out the 12-page alumni edition was lots of work, but very interesting and filled with continual happy surprises. Wc wr« pretty c minced of the superiority of our school when we found names like Professor Max Mason, president of the Rockefeller foundation in New York. Professor Julius it never rains on Olson of the University of Wisconsin, Bcrton Braley. ilonoee Wil-Uie Morrow, and Lucian Cary, all well-known writers, the late Pat McGilvary. a famous world-war aviator awl engineer, awl many other equally illustrious names in the lists of Central (then Madison) High graduates.
