The pattern was made on intervalic spaces and in abstract design in order that it might be cut on a linoleum block. Out of twenty-one designs submitted by the advanced art class, six were selected and sent to the committee for consideration. The modernistic Indian head, the final choice of the committee, was designed by Wilna Peck, who also is the artist of the ex-libris block. .. EDITORIAL STAFF .. Evelyn Alexander . Dorothy Andrews .

In the same way we can apply this to Ontral by taking a trip Itack through the years and getting a panoramic view of the highlights in the development of Centra! High school, then called Madison lltgh. Arriving in the yejr 1900 we find the first annual published. 'lliis came about by the suggestion of two or three students who took it Indore their classes and pul it to a vote. An annual board was established by taking a certain quota of people from the freshman, sophomore, junior, ami senior classes. After this was established, the question arose, What to call it? Everything was suggested from The Rhinoceros, to the Homogeneous Hurricane. Hut it was the suggestion of a bright young freshman to call it the Tyco-berahn, after the Indian name for the Four l ike Region.” la-aving the annual lioard, well go and visit the freshmen entering Madison I ligh school. All the freshmen, then, had to go through a process called hazing. This was the delight of the seniors when they could make the “frcshics do anything they wanted. For instance, one boy was put into the lake, another was obliged to take his shoes and stock ings ofl and climb a tree, and still another had to warble a solo on the cast stejw of the school. Another thing which interests us is the way students were addtessed, not by their first names hut by Mr. and Miss and the teachers were profs. Taking a peck into the organizations of the school we find two clubs. Hie Nautilus for girls and “'Hie literary for boys. 'I hc school also has several musical organizations, “The Girls’ Glee ('lub of 45 mcmliers and an orchestra of seven members, which was made up entirely of boys. Passing by one of the football games of the year we hear the school yell: Madison! Madison! Hah rah rah Madison! Madison! Hah tab mh! Hoo iah! Hoo rah I High School! High School! Hah rah rah I Leaving 1900 behind us we enter into 1902 anil find Madison their information from the Varsity. Madison High was “tops,” having won six and lost one out of seven games. Going forward to 1904 wc find the plans for a new Madison I ligh school, which is now the present sdtool building for Central. Only 600 pupils were enrolled in the school then, hut plans for the ness- school provided for a capacity of 1,000 pupils. The first play was also produced this year by the Nautilus and Literary Clubs called, “Tom C x hb, a three act comedy with the music furnished by the high school orchestra. With the coming of I9| | we find the edition of two more clubs, the Philomathia” and the Forum. a boys’ debating society. The orchestra also became a regular musical organization under the direction of a leader. It consisted of 15 members and met every Wednesday afternoon from 4:40 until 5 o'clock. The orchestra in 1917 showed a considerable growth, now consisting of 26 members. There was also a considerable increase in clubs, some of them being: The Alphian, Art. Dramatic. French, German. Girls’ Debating, History and ('ivies, Onow.i, and Radio. Two new features, “Hi-Y and “Epsilon Eta, were added to Madison High in 1922. Another addition to the musical organizations was a band of 44 members. ‘Hie Dramatic department also became an organization under the leadership of a director. Resides this, the athletic department established an “M club for lioys who excelled in athletics. Anti instead of orange and black, the school colors sverc then ydlow and black.

Miss Iiuxtablc lias been working steadily for the past three years to build up music appreciation and interest in choir work at Central. From a rather indifferent group of chorus niemltcrs she has molded them into an ambitious, musical-minded clioir eager to learn with undying interest and enthusiasm the better class of music. By bringing the works of great composers, musicians, vocalists, and choirs before the group, she has steadily built for interest. 'Hie singers feel a certain pride in their concerts. They have learned how the great St. Olaf choir anti the Lawrence College choir sang by discussing, after the performances, the enunciation, phrasing, and shading, Gradually they improved until at the State Teachers convention Mr. Raymond Dvorak, director of the U. of W. band, said, This clioir is one of the best I’ve heard and. in my opinion, they are in the same class with most university choruses. The choir has sung at numerous musical events the past year: the foremost being tlic district “Music Meet” at Pottage, Wisconsin. Here it won first place singing the “Celtic Hymn and “Lost in the Night, a feat making them eligible for the state meet held in Madison on May 28 29. Ruth Rosenau.

Candid Sliots Students Lead Active Cluh Lives ot Ooda-la 1-1 Risen Cu r. under the leadership of Miu Pope, has H hern very active this year. The purpose ot this dub is to give students of French .I chance to use and hear spoken French. Throughout the past year the French Club has had at its meeting lecturers and authorities on French (tropic and their manners and customs. Professor (Jicsc of the University of Wisconsin read, last year, from his translation of the Misanthrope” of Molicrc and Mrs. Bunsmaid, who has lived in Mexico 2? years, lectured on French schools and life in Mexico. A French play. S uprise L'I.nod re, .1 comedy, was given by members of French Club. French musical programs, picture slides on French life in France, questions and answers on French material that does not occur in ordinary texts, dramatization of vocabulary, and integration of French in daily life are just a few of the many activities that the club has offered to its members and friends twice a month. French Clubs traditional Christinas party was held during the Christmas season. French games and folk dances added to the success of this party. The question often arrives. Why am I studying French? In order to enter our higher institutions of learning, a foreign is one of the requisites for a degree. French gives a general education. One learns European geography, history, politic and literature. Many words of the English language jrc derived from those of the French and in studying French one can appreciate his language more fully than liefore. The club climaxed its activities by having a spring party and meeting. May I Help You?

Wn haben feme zeit, mude zn setn ( We have no time to be tired) The Ghost Iells All Don Tkaciite, grad, gives word and pen pictures of his Playfellow Henry by Virginia Parker Alokc with Gloria Vanderbilt, the Mirror possesses an original drawing of the comic strip, “Henry. More than Gloria Vanderbilt, the Mirror has had created for it an exclusive cartoon because Mr. Anderson is a Madison man, and his assistant, an alumnus of Central. We tried to get an interview with Henry himself, but he proved as illusive as Garbo. Finally, sve did manage to ensnare Mr. Anderson’s official ghost. Maybe it is just as well, because Henry wouldn't know much about getting jobs, and might hesitate to divulge what his ardent public writes him. (Jetting my job with Carl Anderson was mostly a matter of luck, said I on Trachtc when we interviewed him regarding his position as assistant to the creator of Henry. I had some work under Mr. Anderson in a vocational night school class, and there I got my first glimpse of ‘'Henry, when Mr. Anderson showed the little tyke to our class. Later, after finishing Central, I went to work for Leo F.dwards at Cambridge, Wisconsin. Mr. Edwards, an author of lioys’ hooks, and I had planned to write a comic together. After working all summer and apparently gaining nothing but a badly strained pair of eyes, I came back to Madison. In the meantime ’Little Henry' had risen to national fame, and, seeking the reason for the failure of my own cartoons to sell, went to Mr. Anderson for advise and criticism. He gave me some suggestions and advised me to continue my education. When I had finished three semesters at the University, I saw ’Henry’ had been syndicated. After drawing up some Henry ideas, I went to Carl Anderson, presented them to him, and asked for a job. At that time Mr. Anderson was preparing to go to New York for a month, but promised to keep me in mind and to let me know when he returned. About a month later he phoned and said the job was mine, loiter Mr. Anderson said I was hired because he saw the improvement in my work. I consider the summer I thought lost one of the most valuable I have ever put in. The cartoonists arc about equally divided in regard to the training needed for this work, Don pointed out. Some say you need an art foundation. Others say it isn’t necessary, and it is better to stick to straight cartooning. They argue that too much art training might stunt a person's style and prevent him from exaggerating like a cartoonist must. Art helps, provided you can keep precision out of your regular work. Mr. Anderson receives fan mail from all over the world, according to Don. the jxrsonal secretary. Recently a missionary in West Africa ran across an old magazine in which little Henry appeared, and became so intrigued with Henry's antics that he wrote to Mr. Anderson. 'I hc letter, which took three month’s to reach Madison, requested that a copy of the Little Henry book to sent to him, and stated that the missionary would only look at one cartoon a day because if he got a laughing fit, the natives might think him crazy and tic him up. He also said there was a little colored boy in this village that was al- (continued on page 29) HENRY ] ) if-----r To VihOo if MAY cOt $£iiN: -i TH MK THiS WM WroWSiN SeNTtNE L fcizNUS � S A GOOD iOEAW AN WE ORTEft HAVE '£M MORE OFF£N - --SAY WVNCE A WE£K AtEOO£.

When I heard that someone was to be sent to interview Miss Corscot. I begged to be allowed to go, as I wished to make the acquaintance of that dignified lady, whom I knew only from seeing her occasionally as 1 chased after those bothersome balls. My request was granted, and some time later 1 approached the stately white house set in the midst of a wide expanse of green lawn sprinkled with tall elms and massive oaks, and gave the brass knocker a mighty tug. Miss Corscot proved to be a most charming and gracious hostess. She still lives in her girlhood home, which, with its immense lawn, takes up almost the entire 1200 block on East Johnson Street. When I asked her to tell me something about her graduation I was amazed to note the differences between the commencement of the class of 1893, with which Miss Corscot graduated, and the present day commencement activities. There were 41 members of the class of '93, the largest to graduate from the old Madison I ligh. Class colors were purple and silver. The equivalent of our class night was hcltl on the afternoon of Arbor Day. They had a class prophet and a class historian. We were the first class to have a senior banquet, said Miss Corscot. After the Arbor Day program the boys put up tables in the corridors and the girls brought the food. After we finished eating we autographed each other's paper plates. I still have mine in an old trunk upstairs. All the teachers as well as the members of the class attended this banquet. On Friday morning the Commencement exercises were held at 9 o'clock in the assembly room of the State Capitol. The valedictorian and salutatorian, as well as the prophet and historian, were elected by the class, an election in which rcholarship had no weight. To decorate the assembly room, the boys went out to the woods and gathered ferns and daisies, which they grouped around the speakers’ platform. At that time it was customary to present Bowers and books to the graduating seniors. The custom of wearing caps and gowns has come into being since Miss Corscot graduated. Then, the girls wore white dresses of no particular style, merely something light and Huffy, and the boys wore dark suits. ITtc diplomas were presented by a member of the Board of Education, usually the president, a custom which has not changed a great deal. That evening the senior dance took place, the only school dance of the year. Like the Commencement, it was held in the assembly room of the Capitol, the floor of which was spread with canvas to dance on. Each graduate had a certain number of tickets to give out and they were usually presented to the prominent people of the city. Instead of having two semesters as we have now, the year Students of Today Present Vital Commencement Day Falks by Bessie Levin A glance backward through the years shows us that the present policy of graduation is not the old lived tradition that the present Ccntralites think it is, but rather just a long scries of Commencement programs. The very thought of graduation is a real thrill to seniors, but the impressive Commencement exercise is the stirring incident of their young lives. It’s the real thing, so that when the graduates walk across the stage to receive their diplomas they feel that their efforts are rewarded. To be able to listen to fellow classmates talking on subjects pertinent to current problems is a pleasure that can not easily be forgotten. In a reminiscing mood we discover that the orations delivered for this purpose concern subjects for the realization of timely occurrences. The Panama Canal, the salutatorian address given in 1911, gave us visions of a current speech on the TVA; Conservation, The Responsibilities of leisure, and Service and Sacrifice are still essential in the new environment. The former “outside speaker, some prominent man, was paid a huge sum of money to deliver these speeches, but due to the depression the speaker for today’s Commencement is elected from its class according to scholastic ability and popularity interpreted by the class orator. No doubt this order will continue throughout the future for quite some time, because classes have so far voted favorably for it. The salutatory, the address of welcome at Commencement is of any nature the speaker desires to talk on, of course, providing it has a beneficiary influence on the audience. Around the war time the salutatories given, apparently emphasize timeliness and hope of the present situation — Our Hope of the Present War,” Creative Patriotism and Americanism. The valedictory, the farewell oration at Commencement, likewise, confronts us with present day problems. We realize that if the chief enemy of mankind is Ignorance, his chief ally is the freedom of thought and expression. But to successfully combat the poison of propaganda sve must support this ally by arming ourselves with truly open minds ready and eager for intelligent thinking —this paragraph from one of last January speeches is an example of student thought. Today these subjects arc vital to the present graduate. was divided into three terms.

Have you ever said those words or watched the rapt expression on the lace of a (terson who was saying them? Unless you have ever caught a large pike, you will not lie able to imagine the sensations which play lag on your backbone. 'Hie feel ot that yanking and jerk ing pole, that can have nothing other than a pike or a pickerel on the end, is enough to compensate you for the dis-comforturc you have gone through with to get it. 'Hie feeling or tingling sensation is not only exhilarating, but it is rare. It is not to lie found when your tcc-olT reaches 2Stl yards. Neither is it to lie tound when your bullet passes through the heart of a deer. Hut I dare you to put a struggling minnow on a strong hook and line, and not ex|ieri-encc that sensation when your line snaps taut and the rod acquires that arch that only a struggling fish can give it. Oh, yes. there arc discomforts which seem to take the joy out of fishing. Hut so arc there things which take the joy out of everything, ‘lliom bushes which trip you when you arc trying to stalk a deer. Sand traps which take the joy out of golf, etc. Hut you sit in a lso.it lor an hour without a sign of a fish, and with a blustering wind dousing you with cold spray. Then let your jkiIc and line suddenly stiffen and quiver, and your discomfort drops from you like a cloak. Instantly it seems to get warmer. Hie wind seems to ebb and a warm glow fills your liody. Hy the time the fight is over and your fish is landed, you arc eager for a repetition of the last hour's discomforts if, at the end of that time, another such prize is waiting. Second prize was won by lili abcili Park and third prize by Nicholas Mar cto. Alida Ann Taylor received honorable mention. IjOSt It is Saturday morning and from a lofty steeple, nearby, nine strokes of the (sell arc sent ringing through the air. It is this l cll in the Holy Redeemer tower that weekly marks the rehearsal time of the Central High school Musicians' Club dance orchestra. In the band room on third floor, where rehearsals arc held, a feeling of emptiness and silence prevails. Such is the beginning of the rehearsal, for these musicians believe that silence is a basic requirement for all music. After a quarter of an hour elapses, the steady clap of feet on the steps carries the first souls up to the band room. Cases are opened and arc strewn over the room; to Ik- sure, within a few moments one can easily realize the attraction of the wide open sjiaces. Commander (that's leader Rohde) finally announced (hat number M, the theme song, l.ost, is up, and hrigadeers prepare to follow his orders. Some, however, discover that lx st is truly lost. Following a few snappy choruses the more important individualists put in their appearance, surprised to learn that the rehearsal has already started. At length the warm-up is concluded and the orchestra, conqxm-d of a drum, piano, l ass, ami cornet, begins to hit on all four, while the other nine pieces arc still lost. Indeed, one may now say that the full tones ami swing rhythm coming forth sounds more like die Ontr.il Hrigadeers of old, that took the horn out of amateur in a recent contest. Hut listen! Now someone has put a wrench in the works! You’re rushing, says the tenor man to the drummer and proceeds to let himself go. Indeed, from now until the last chord of Alexander's Rag Time Band, the orchestra is somewhat out of control; in fact, one listener still insists that Lights Out was Truckin'. —fot Bahnett The Opera |«k never let anyone tell you that ojicra is all right, he is cither trying to get revenge or else he is not a friend.

We went up in an elevator and were shown our scats, and who was right behind us but our old pal, Huil laiscy. from (!lii. Hud had his sisters with him and gave me the sad look that said plainer than words. So you got hooked too! We introduced all hands around and at alxnit o'clock the curtain went up.

Next, in came a woman jnd none of the true-lovers seemed to know who site was. Sonic said she was Portia and some said Jessica. Hud and I decided she was Mac West. We were wrong though, as Mac West has this dame beat any lime.

This year I am going to go sour on old man tradition and give you a brief outline of the football season from he-ginning to end. Central had an eight game schedule in 1935 and won three, tied two, and lost three. An account of the games in their order follows: Fond du late—In the opener, Central beat Fond du Lae l'J-0. Vi Owen and Bolt Arnold chalked up one touchdown each. John Ellis fell on a blocked punt for the last goal. Fete Accardo kicked the extra point. Racine Far —Central tied Racine Park in us first Big Eight game 7-7. It was a hard fought battle, and the liest team didn't win. Madison West—The biggest show of the year. West beat Central 6-0. The only score of the game was made on a pass from Olson to Schwartz. Everyone went home feeling bad. that is, cxccjx the West kids. La Crosse—An out of town game that few saw. but they say it was a good mud battle. The score was 6-6. lieloit Well, there were aliout ten of us who went down to Beloit to sec our boys do their stuif. but Beloit “squelched the Orange and Black. Tlic score was 19-6.

Olympic By Margaret Bewick A croup of four to eight boys Mood in the ofTice of Principal Thomas IJoyd-Joncs, approximately thirty years ago, and listened to their superior tell them of expulsion. It seems that if they did not stay the activities of their o r g a n i z a • tion, the Olympic Cluh, there w o u I d l c no alternative but to leave the school. The voice of Mr. | o n c s m u s t have held a dread intonation to those boys. Their club was purely a social and athletic institution governed u nder strict rules. Al-though the close of that meeting is in the shadows of the past, we find t It a t despite the expulsion threat, the club lived and thrive d. be c o m i n g, perhaps, one of the most brilliantly managed affairs in southern Wisconsin, if not in the entire Justin Sam Barmy year I‘ 11; it was planned as a young men's club, which met at the old lackson Clinic on Hamilton street. Later, new members were added ami before long the organization consisted of over 100 men. The institution look permanent headquarters above the old Palace of Sweets, on State Street where the Davis and O’C-onncll Clothing store now stands. The rooms were numerous; there were two cloak rooms, a grill, and a general assembly hall where the young women were entertained. iKsidcs several smokers. The rooms were furnished in mission style, while old Knglish hunting scenes adorned the walls. For color, the club claimed a negro janitor, Ace Washington, and the fast orchestras oi Al Thompson, who reigned supreme at the various dances given by the club. In athletics the institution ranked supreme. Favorite sport was basclxill, and in those days this team was one to Ik feared. The club bail, t«x� , its own football team ami one of the fastest indc|icndcn! basketball teams in the state. All in all. the Olympic Club of Madison was an admirable social and athletic organization, and Central may claim a share of the praise due the club, since the atTair was started by the Madison I ligh school ancestors. With the club as a mutual background, the writer wishes to introduce to Central three of the charter members, Sam Barry, “Babe Jackson, and Johnny Mlied. Sam (his real name is lustiii) Barry won Utters in football, basketball, tiascball, and track and captained for one year the loot hall team and led the basketball team to victory lor two seasons. It lias been found that his aim while attending Madison High was to graduate (he was here for five years and six weeks); he was noted for his girl friends; his hobby was dancing. In the 191(1 Tycobcrahn, Coach Jones of Ontral, now track coach of the University of Wisconsin, said of Sam, He can pull in the hall if thrown within twenty feet of him. Men who bumped up against our innocent looking ‘Sammy' usually came down. In connection with the Olympic Club, lie was considered quite a prankster. Our of his most original and exasperating jokes was to fill one hand with water, enter a room where a group were indulging in 50Q, stand over them and produce a tremendous “kachoo, showering them gen crously. Meekly, he would beg their purdon and escape to another room. He assisted Tom Jones here for one year, after which he obtained the position of athletic director and football coach at Knox College at Calcs (continued on page id) state of Wisconsin itself.

Yet one cannot say that the season was disastrous because of this record. More than one game was decided on scores which had the differences of less than three points. ’Hie name we played with East in our gym is a good example of the above lines. We hist that kittle, but not until the game went into three overtime periods. The game ended there when Hilly Schmitz of East sank a set shot from the side. Madison East won the city crown in the cage sport by defeating Central and West twice each. The Orange and lllack split with Blue and Gold to tic for second with the Westsiders. Hie Big Eight title race was tl c c’oscst it has been for years, and not until the last game had hern played was the championship decided. The champs were Racine Morlick, who for the first time in its history gained that (losition, and Beloit, who is quite consistent hi getting that honor. Kenosha finished third, W'ith the three Madison schools. East, West, and Central, taking fourth, fifth, and sixth places respectively. The Orange and Black gained its four wins hy defeating Racine Bark twice, Janesville once, and West once. It hist two games to Beloit, Kenosha, East, and Bark, and one game to Janesville and West for their ten loses. In the Beloit District Tournament, Central reached the semi-finals after defeating the Blucjays of Janesville. Iii the semis, the Orange and Black met its Waterloo in the form of Kenosha, who in the end won the tournament championship hy defeating West in the finals. The high scorer and probably the most outstanding player on the team was Boh Arnold, who scores! 21 goals and 48 free throws for a total of 80 (mints. Following Arnold came Charlie Johnson, with 74 and Vi Owen, who had 60. The personnel of this year’s team included six juniors, three seniors, ami one sophomore. The seniors who played their last game are Charlie Johnson, center, and Vi Owen, forward. Boh Arnold is a mid-semester graduate and will not l� c lost for another semester.

This year the thirty-some ten nis courts have been crowded practically every day of the season hy high school students, who have in the last three or four years taken to the sport whole-heartedly. Girls, as well as boys, arc now playing these sports, golf and tennis, and this year a tennis tournament was held among the girls of Miss Marguerite Shepard's gym classes, and. according to Miss Shc|xird, the tournament won much praise and |iopularily. Both the tennis and golf teams were under the supervision of coaches this season. The able assistance of Coach Neil Stoddard, historian and economist, was used in con junction with the golf team, and musician larroy Klosc gave |X)inters to the racket men. The tennis and golf teams did not fare so well in their schedules. Both teams lost all of their games to other Madison high schools and did not place in the Big Eight Conference Meet.

Ontral played two games with West and split even by losing the first and winning the second. The team met Wausau, Wisconsin River Valley champs, as a part of the Wisconsin Hoofers’ Winter carnival and were defeated by a score of 6 to 0, the only shutout of the season. Roy Fournier, former Chicago Black-hawks star, was coach of the sextet and he turned out a team that not only won the city championship, hut won the team individual scoring crowns as well. Scoring a total of 75 goals in eight games, the sextet was far ahead of its nearest rival. West.

'Hie most contested class on the team was the 135 pound class. In the eliminations Joe dementi defeated Ixonard Ginsberg and |immy Malas defeated Bob Goodrich. In the semi finals dementi scored a T.K.O. over Malas in the second round to meet Mick |usto, the defending champ, in the finals. Justo, fighting a scientific match against dementi's rushing, was awarded the decision alter three rounds of intensive foxing. The only defending champion to Ik dethroned was John Bcyler, 125 pound champ of 1935. He was beaten by John Capa dona who, in the eliminations and semi-finals, won his matches handily. Steve Chiovero, heavyweight champ, defended his throne easily by scoring a T.K.O. over Howard Quale in the third round. Chiovero outweighed Quale and used this to the fost advantages. The light heavyweight throne went to George Cuccia, who rallied after a bad start to win handily over John Scliara. In the lightweight class, Tony dementi was a decisive winner over I larry Zeaman. The fight was close throughout, hut Clcmcnti put on a punching finish to take the match. John Badenna annexed the 145 pound crown by winning the decision over Frank Schiro. Badenna cinched the tight in the closing seconds by flooring Schiro for the count of eight. Boxing at Central has progressed yearly. ’Hie number coming out is almost as great as the number coming out for major sports. Central has limited facilities for this activity, hut this sport continues to grow in |x pularity in spite of all these obstacles. Boxing champions will receive medals, because the sport is not recognized by the Big Eight as a major sport. It is the fo|K of the participants that some day foxing will Ik given the recognition of a major sport, instead of the rank it now holds. A former Central foxing champ has made good in a big way at the University of Wisconsin. He is Vito Schiro. referee of the foxing finals this year. Vito fought in weights ranging from the 145 pound class to tile 165 pound division. When Vito fought for the Orange and Black he fought in the 145 pound class.

It ail started one day while reading a book of hers during home room period. I had only gone a few pages when ! discovered that the story was laid in Madison and that the characters attended Central. My curiosity about the author was aroused and I determined to meet Margaret Ashmun. but how. I knew not. TTien one fine morning I found myself on the west side of town ringing Margaret Ashmun’s doorbell. I had come to interview her for the Orange and Black. Miss Ashmun. a greyhaired, middle-aged person of medium build, answered the door. She looked like any other nicely dressed lady one meets on the street, in her silk printed dress with a cluster of artificial flowers at the neck. For the first time it came to me that she was just like any other human being. We talked together of the Isabel Carleton series in which Madison, its stores, its amusements, the lakes, and university played such an important part. Miss Ashmun fumbled at her finger and then held out to me a beautiful ring made of two separate green Tlie Ghost I ells All... front'd from page 12) most an exact replica of Henry. Mr. Trachtc sent the book, and asked for a snapshot of Henry’s likeness. The snapshot that was sent did resemble Mr. Anderson's brain child. Master of dead-pan, except in color and amount of hair. Recently a doctor from Florida wrote Mr. Anderson saying Henry gave him the shivers running around in the snow with his scanty attire. I lc said if they didn’t have clothes enough for the little brat, to send him down to Florida where he could bask in the sunshine and swim. Mr. Anderson thanked the man for his kind invitation and assured the worried M. I), that I’enfant terrible appreciated it and would take a rain check on the invitation. By return mail, Carl Anderson received road maps of the state of Florida and full data as to how to get there. Youngsters seven or eight years old ived In Madison stones wrought in a silver openwork design. It was this ring which started what was later to become the Isabel Carleton series. Miss Ashmun was in England at the time. The days being long she had taken to writing to help pass the time. One day she thought of writing about her green ring which she had recently purchased of an American lady who made them and sold them there. TTic story was published in the Youth's Companion and proved to be so popular that the publishers asked for more stories about the same girl. Later they were combined into the first Isabel Carleton book and due to their great success. Miss Ashmun was prompted to write more such books. Miss Ashmun said that her purpose in writing the Isabel Carleton books was to describe family life and to make girls realize that family life is an important part of their living.” Through these books she attempted to show that one docs not have to go away to school to have fun, but that just as much can be had right at home. She lived supposedly on a “nice shady street, somewhere on the west side of town where most professors homes arc. Isabel Carleton was not any particular person although Miss Ashmun was thinking somewhat of a niece of hers who was attending the (not the censors) seem to be the champion worriers over Henry’s lack of clothing. They express fears of Henry getting new-monia.” Mr. Anderson usually calms their fears by saying Henry is so husky he would go out without any clothes on if they didn’t watch him closely. Sometime ago Mr. Anderson ran a cartoon showing the precious imp dressed up like a barber cutting another little boy’s hair. A youngster wrote in and advised Henry to use his knowledge of barbering on himself and apply some hair tonic to the seemingly barren vastness of his upper extremity. Henry wishes it known that he is a platinum blond. People all over the United States write and ask Mr. Anderson to help put across their various campaigns. But Henry is a shrewd diplomat and declines all propaganda offers. His main mission in life is to draw a few chuckles, not to promote. A dentist out West wanted Carl Anderson to run university here and whose name was Isabel. Carleton was Miss Ashmun's own choice as a fitting last name for the character. Rodney Fox and Caroline Harper, two of the main characters of the book, were not the Rodney Fox and Caroline Harper who were well known Madi-sonians not long ago. Miss Ashmun did not realize that there really were people with those names, until after the books had been published and people inquired about the similarity of the names. The only account that Miss Ashmun can give for having used these names is that at one time or another she had heard the names and they had unconsciously stayed in her mind. Miss Ashmun is a distant relative of Mr. Benjamin Ashmun, mathematics teacher at Central. Contrary to popular belief. Miss Ashmun did not attend Central, or teach here. She lived in Waupaca, which she often uses as a setting for her stories. Topless Towers, a novel for adults; Steven’s Last Chance, a book for boys; “David and the Bear Man. Brenda Stays at Home, Susie Sugar-beet, Including Mother, No School Today, Mother's Away,” and School Keeps Today. arc among the books which she has written for younger children. She has written 23 books and several magazine stories. a cartoon showing Henry brushing his teeth, but so far not one chuckle-drawing idea has been dug up concerning dental hygiene. Don rather fancies being called Carl Anderson's ghost, or Henry’s Nursemaid.” But, besides being a dignified artist’s assistant, Mr. Trachtc is also personal secretary, traveling companion, errand runner, and chauffeur.

Girls’ Literary Society Has 1-amoue Ancestry Although boys were originators, girls carried clubs through the years by Louise DuBois When the Madison High School Literary Society was founded in 1894, it had about fifteen members—all boys. Membership and activities gradually increased and in 1905 the Forum Society was organized. This group participated in oratorical contests and inter-society debates. The meetings of the Forum Society were held in the city hall while the new high school was being built, and heated debates and discussions played a major part in the programs. However, interest in the society waned, and in 1909 it disbanded. Through the influence of Principal fones, the club was reorganized in 1911. This organization, with a membership of forty boys, held meetings weekly at the boys’ homes. It had a threefold purpose: to give members an intelligent idea of problems of the day, to train them in the use of a library and in the arrangement of material, and to enable them to speak with liberty before an audience. Recommendation from the faculty and satisfactory trial work on two de- bates were required for membership to the club. Even after initiation anyone who proved undesirable was expelled. Their programs were interesting and varied. Topics were given on current events, and extemporaneous speaking contests were held. On alternate weeks there were debates on such timely subjects as woman sufTrage, coeducation, income tax, inheritance tax, government ownership of railroads, and the eight hour working day. Because of a heavier school program, and a more concentrated line of study, the club was again broken up, and has been extinct as a boys' organization ever since. It was not long before the girls took an interest in literature and formed a society called the Nautilus. A later organization, founded for the same purpose, was Philomathia. The objects of the Nautilus club were: to give the girls mutual help and improvement, to increase knowledge of literature and develop critical power, and to make literary knowledge tend to create character development. Miss Ruth Kentzler, dramatics director at Central, was a member of Philomathia Society, and much of the following information comes from her. This group studied the lives and works of famous authors and poets. Topics on these subjects filled the program. The early literary societies were taken seriously, and it was a great privilege to Ik elected to one, stated Miss Kentzler. Election of club officers was also an important event, because the offices took the place of our present day honor societies. Although interest in these clubs was keen for some years, they were again disrupted, and Central was without a literary group until six years ago when Miss Julia Tormey organized the present Girls’ Literary Society.

This position he held until 1929 when he gained a similar post at the University of Southern California, where he is at the present time. In Dr. Arnold Jackson, affectionately known to his friends as Babe, we find the first president of the Olympic Club, the editor-in-chief of the 1912 Tycobcrahn, chairman of the From committee, secretary of the Olympic athletic board, and a prominent participator in scholastic affairs. After leaving Central, he attended the University of Wisconsin and the Columbia Medical College; he took his bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota and from there he went to the Mayo Clinic. In the year of 1921, he came to the Jackson Clinic to begin his work in Madison. In his medical career he specializes in diseases; his book, Goitre and Other Diseases of the Thyroid Gland,” is considered of high rating and he has in his possession letters of commendation from surgeons from countries all over the world.

He was captain of the 1911 state championship track team. In football he played the position of quarterback; in the aforementioned TVeoberahn, John was credited with speed and grit and an enviable reputation shown by his ability to carry the ball down the field. He is now in business at the Blied Hardware Company on West Main Street. In the Town Gossip of several years past, is related the “Tragedy of the Unused Spoon, an incident in which featured both Barry and Blied. In the year 1909, the football team was promised, by a freshman girl, a seven course dinner if they would win the championship. Well, they won, and the girl was reminded of her promise.

Fred Wuring's and Benny Goodman’s Beneficial to both the student body, and to each of its musical-minded members, the 'Musicians' Club,' which was formed in the spring of 1935, has for the past three semesters proved its merit to many members of local musical aggregations, according to Mr. Elmer Gottschalk, prominent musician and musical advisor of the M. C. The inspiration to form this cluh came to Edward Rohde, now president of the club, in an English class in which there were six boys all interested in dance music. These boys, and all members of the a cappclla choir or the school orchestra, started a club of chosen mu- Outdoor Fashions V - � A'C for the Outdoor Season • Colton dresses for tennis dates and formal dresses! • Swimming suits in every color! ® Jigger coats . . mean summer swaggers!

From then on this group has played at all the social functions at Central and at many outside events. The members lost by January graduation were Bolt Octking, clarinet; Van John Bcran, dancer and comedian; Lawrence Finch, cello and secretary; Art SVcngcl, director and vocalist; Stan Thompson, sax. In their places were added other capable players from the school orchestra, some of whom were girls. The new members were Sam Knopow, shifted to director; Yvonne Nasct. sax; Nick Margetis, shifted to sax; Irene Schwarz, violin; Bob Goodrich, whistler and trombone. After winning the audition held by a representative of the Major, this group played with the Major Bowes Unit No. 6 at the Orphcum Theater, and later had a radio program over the Portage station, WIBU, on Saturday nights at 6 o'clock, among their numerous other activities. Other schools upon hearing of this enterprizing organization, started their own clubs, the foremost being Billy l-ec's band at Hast and Jack Sylvester’s at West. “Both of these groups show a remarkable conception of how dance music should be played and a fine spirit, said Eddie Rohde, after watching them both play. “We musicians of Central feel proud of our part in bringing to the Madison High schools music clubs which will offer enjoyment to the pupils and a musical start in the dance band field.

Major Bowes would take a second look at the amateurs of the Dramatic Club. Their Amateur Hour was by no means unsuccessful. Cartier Blackburn as master of ceremonies brought forth the participants in a well-organized and entertaining manner. From music to dancing, to readings, and then back to music was the general march of affairs. Ethel Dotson was especially impressive with a reading, Brothers in Love.” A flute duct by Marian Krueger and Rachel Trachtc was also tops on the interesting program. And it must not Ik forgotten to add Ann Paley’s reading, Leap Year Ixap. Of course, the dancing was in Billie Usher’s line . . . tapping. Will Rogers was represented in a reading by Norma (Juinn, and Ruth Lightbourn proved girls could readily play a trombone. But the members of the Dramatic Club arc far from being just amateurs. They can give excellent play performances. such as James M. Barrie’s The Twelve-Pound Look. Tlic parts in this play that is centered around the growing independence for women and their desire, that men can't understand, to have a career were portrayed in a superb fashion by Ruth Lightbourn, Ruth Schmitz, and Wilna Peck.

Everybody’s Business In the seventeen years of its existence the Hi-Y Club at Central has proved itself a pioneer in many fields of activity. The frontier which is open in safe driving of automobiles has been entered by the club. A program, part of which was a film which illustrated some of the preventable accidents and part of which featured H. McCormick, chief of Madison police, as the speaker, was the culmination of the safety campaign here. As a vivid reminder of the horror of automobile accidents the club will issue a booklet entitled And Sudden Death—. The club hopes it has only touched on the subject and that much more will be done in the next terms. At the meetings of the club they have been host to several speakers, among the most prominent of them were Dr. Ermyl B. Frye of the First Methodist Episcopal church, and Mr. Loran Cockrell, director of athletics, at the Y. M. C. A. The club sponsored its own Ping-Pong tournament, all contestants bowing to Don Thompson, who won the medal. The Little Brown Jug Contest, which is a track meet between all the Hi-Y clubs of Madison, was again won by West’s club. Central making a good showing, however. Before the club disbands this semester, an outing will be held at the Camp Wakanda with alumni invited.

Domestic science was one of the subjects which were not taught. Although they had no regular gym classes, a teacher came into the assembly room for half an hour twice a week and gave the students exercises. Music was taught in the same way—a teacher coming to them twice a week. As Miss Corscot remembers, the school had a baseball nine, but no basketball or football teams. The only school club was the Roys’ Debating Society, which met every Friday night, its members debating against each other. Miss Corscot has proved herself to be a worthy alumnus of Central. She was president of the first Madison High Alumni .Association, which was founded in 1900. She has served on the city Board of Health for nearly 15 years and is its present secretary. For two and a half years she was president of this organization, declining selection for a third year. It was Miss Cor-scot who was chairman of the building committee to build the Madison Contagious hospital. She has been twice listed in the Who’s Who in Government, a national publication, at the present time is listed in American Women, the Official Who's Who Among the Women of the Nation. and is the only woman member of the National Economic league.
