Victor Herbert's famous ■‘The Red Mill? ' You will agree. I'm sure, that the mystery comedy “Tiger House no longer holds first piacc a. the best dramatic production at Central. Almost every department of the school took some part in making the musical play a success. In the production staff we find the music department under the direction of Mi» Marion Huxtablc (chorus) and Mr. Leroy Klose (orchestra); dramatics under the supervision of Mias Ruth Kenulcr; art department Miss Goodwyl Post; publicity. Miss Beda Hand; home economics department, Miss Marie Metz; mechanical and electrical Mr. F P. Nickels; business. Mi'. Estelle l.enbrrg. As you remember the characters Con Kidder and Kid Conner were originally written for David Montgomery and Fred Stone, the comedy team of vaudeville fame. Ridiculous fun is the keynote of The Red Mill. and two rascally Americans, ('on Kidder and Kid Conner certainly proved thi. statement when Van John Bcr-a'i and Frank Di Piazza who portrayed these part went through their antics.

It has been through the efforts of the journalism classes, a well a of the Mir mr staff, that 14 editions of tlw? Mirror have been published during the year. Among these vva a special twelve-page alumni issue which retold the history of Central High through features and interviews with well-known alumni and faculty members Social achievement through the cooperation of the staff under the leadership of ( Imrles h'itzSimtiious, editor, lias been gained in the form of att All-American Honor Rating for the publication which was judged by the National Scholastic Pros Association The Mirror lias not been entered in the contest for six years: so the honor i doubly significant Aside front the routine journalistic activities, interest has been centered about the various press conventions, the Central Press Club, and the Quill and Scroll Society.

Several programs of the Press (. tub rank high in interest for both its member and Oliver Central pupil . An outstanding presentation featured a talk by Roundy” Coughlin. the Wisconsin State Journal's inimitable pwrt columnist. The program was open to the entire student hotly and was re-cieved with marked enthusiasm Another program was made up of reports of the various lecture given at the State Journalism convention, delivered l) representatives wlvo attended them.

Student Council For Central ANEW organization formed early in the year and functioning in many way like a student council was the stu dent inter-home room committee This committee, made up of 6»ie representative from each home room, although not in reality a student governing Ivody, took on several of the duties of such a group ami may prove to be a forerunner of a council at Central. Sue Posloti (show), ihalrman o( this year's editorial board, will n t tall beeome maiuiflnc editor ol the Mirror. Hntrn McGIlvrn ri«ht), nrwa editor and coiumniat. has also served aa program chairman ol Press Club. Both firls were elected to Quill and Scroll. Because of that similarity and primarily because of the amount of interest slvown by the student Ikk1 - in the possibility of or-gauizatioii a student council, eight representative of the home nxttn committee, four pupil and four faculty members, attended a meeting whose purpose was to discus the advisability of forming of a state-wide council association That meeting, held in the Memorial Union on Saturday. May 25. wa called by Milwaukee West Division High School and was attended by delegate- from six other councils as well a by Dean (jood-night, Registrar Holt ami other representatives of the University of Wisconsin An executive committee consisting of the president of the groups present was appointed to formulate plans for the association to lie sent to some seventy schools throughout the state. Those plans have not yet been completed. The eight delegates from Central were: Betty Ludwig, Rettycllen Hcdquist, Ruth Krug, Sue Poston, Miss Pope, Mis Iscnbcrg, Miss Stark, and Mr. Haas. THE MOST important function of the sub-committee thus far was the Central Courtesy Campaign carried out during tin- first semester . For thin project the committee organized into various standing committee , including tltonc for code, publicity, program, and home room. Through the medium of those groups, discussion in the homo room aided by eliar-after and personality self-analysis chart , auditorium program and various kinds of imhlicity, all dealing with the subject of school courtesy were planned. The code finally formulated ami adopted i. : IfV of Central High School will strive to promote an atmosphere of true coiir-texy by always stuming a real consideration for others.
