Ten Years From Now Will we remember Central High, Ten years from now, you and I? Will we remember its corridors, Its dinted lockers and squeaky doors, Its hand carved desks, its wobbly seats, Its football games and track meets? Will we remember the teachers all And how we'd jump at their beck and call? The book exchange, the office door, The kid's day that is no more. I hope when each and everyone Looks back on those few years of fun, He'll turn to Central and with a bow Salute it, ten years from now! -Pao PHELAN, senior Dreams Lovely fleeting dreams have I At night when in my bed I lie. Of snowy clouds that drift on high, Of bright winged birds and the wind's soft sigh. Of merry children, laughing at play, And parents who watch at the end of day. Or of lovers who stroll on a star-lit night, Their world made magic my loveis glowing light. -PHvLLis A1.BERs, senior Jake's End I know a boy By the name of lake, He was full of joy And he liked to skate. Une sunny day he went to the lake, The ice was thing But he wanted to skate For he had a race to win. He went skating on the lakeg I asked him to stop for my sake, Right then in stepped Fate, And that was the end of lake. For lake was drowned Like a lot of people: And now he lies in the ground, And the bells ring in the steeple. -VERNKDN PETERSON, sophomore page twelve POETRY Beginning of n Storm At Sea Sails set and the course laid, Starting to round the horn With the lookout in the rigging Watching for the storm. The crew all in their quarters, Sou' westers laid close by, Patiently waiting and listening For the lookout's hollowing cry. The captain anxiously pacing The sturdy oaken deckg Closely watching the lookout, Praying they will not wreck. First mate at the rail Carefully heaving the lead, Calling out the readings As they slowly forged ahead. 'iCaptain holy the lookout calledg Storm's a gatherin', comin' fastvg The captain whirled and gazed intently, Expectancy had come at last. All hands were piped upon the deck To lash things tight and shorten sail: They willingly came in a frenzied rush To get things ready for the gale. The clouds overhauled and passed the ship And soon merged over the flueg The fog came up and covered the sea Blotting the sky from view. -CHARLEs CARIXJEN, senior Solitude I long to escape from the city With its hustle and hubbub and squall, And start for the peaceful forest, And the mountains majestic and tall. I long for the silence of the woods, The solitude of the towering trees, The calmness of a gem-like lake, The caress of a cool mountain breeze. The Sea Mighty waves washed up the shore Of the sunny, golden sand. The clear blue waters of the sea Rolled up upon the land. The breeze was blowing cool and free, The sun was warm and bright. Fleecy clouds were in the sky, The waves rolled in with might. -EILEEN BRUMM, sophomore Into Eternity Look out of the window, Martha. Docs hope fill your heart? Mine is dead: I think It perished in the heat last summer When the wind blew our land Into eternity. Not a green thing growing. Where could a plant grow In this barren dry plain? We saw the last things growing here When the wind blew our land Into eternity. Let's leave this dead country. Do you want to go To a place where there's life? My heart and my heritage both went When the wind blew our land Into eternity. Say goodbye to the land. Does it hurt you to leave The home of our fathers? Look forwardg perhaps some hope re- mained When the wind blew our land Into eternity. -EDWARD ENosBERo, senior To the strains of Elgar's Pomp and Cir- cumstancef' played by the Central High orchestra, over 200 seniors will march down the aisle in the academic cap and gown and find their seats in the audi- torium for the last time in their high school career on June 17, 1938, at 10:00 a. m ....

. TRACK HE Orange and Black track squad has this year fin- ished one of its best year since track started at Cen- tral. One of the highlights of this season was when Central won the city championship for the fourth consecu- tive year. A state championship was also crowned in Cen- tral's rank-- Feet' Fiscus won the half mile in his divi- sion to become a ctychamp of the state meet. In the Hrst meet Central received a second place behind West. This meet was sponsored by West and consisted mostly of relays. The second meet of the year was at East. Central came out of this with a 58-55 victory. lack O'Neill surprised all by beating Boyle of East. Sticka gave Meek a hard battle in the mile. Diehlls tracksters had for their next victim Baraboo, by a score of 602-522. Beasley was Central's star. Sticka won the mile in a handy fashion. The winning of the hurdle races by O'Neil was another climax. Continuing their climb upwards in track success, Central defeated a highly touted West aggregation, 642-432. Cen- tral scored a dead heat in the 220 low hurdles when Potter, Karp, and O'Neil joined hands. The mile was easily won by Sticka. Colletti, a fellow man, finished in second. Potter clinched the broad jump on his last leap and nosed out Williams by 42 inches. Fourth place was won by Central at the annual Big Eight meet. Potter lost by half an inch in the broad jump. Wil- liams, who won this, broke the record. Sticka also placed in the mile. The state meet was next on the list. Central had three men that won places. Feet Fiscus was crowned champ for his section in the half mile. Potter received second place in the broad jump after being nosed out by half an inch. Livermore did his share by winning third place in the quar- ter mile. These qualifiers placed Central in fifth place, there- by beating out West and East. The annual city meet finally came and again Central won it for the fourth consecutive year. Central received 572 points, West 402, East 29, and Wisconsin High 5. Potter was the individual star, winning the pole vault, tying for first in the high jump with McCann of Central, and receiv- ing second place in the broad jump. Livermore defeated Vergeront of West in the quarter mile. Sticka and Colletti took second and fourth respectively in the mile. Accardo received second in the shot. The half mile event was won by Fiscus, Beld finished second. F UOTB LL HE football season this year was better than that of last year. The Orange and Black won two, tied one, and lost five. At times Central's gridders appeared as champions, such as in the Kenosha game. Although lacking that necessary punch to become victors, the team proved that it was trying. Spirit and determination was evident in the West tilt, and only an injury to King Oakey stopped Central. CENTRAL 0, SHEBOYCAN 0-Playing a brilliant scrimmage game, Central forced Sheboygan to the extremes, but She- boygan made up for it in its passing game. Both had very good defenses when each team was within scoring distance. Sheboygan had two scoring opportunities to one for Central. CENTRAL 13, KENosHA 6-Central won its first game in two years at Breese Stevens. Potter and Oakey paved the way to victory. Kenosha led in the first quarter 6-0 after a long march down the field. The second half showed a new Central team in there, completely outplaying Kenosha. Dickie Potter received a punt on his own 35-yard line, where he was hit by three Kenosha meng squirming and twisting, he eluded several more tacklers. He raced the re- maining 65 yards for Central's first touchdown behind a four-man interference. This play was the highlight of the game. In the fourth quarter, a short pass, McCann to Potter, netted another touchdown. A fake place kick, which was a pass, netted the extra point. Potter, Oakey, Sander, and Schneider were outstanding for Central. IANESVILLE 12, CENTRAL 0-With the sensational play of Bob Cone, Ianesville defeated the Orange and Black grid- ders 12-0 at Breese Stevens field. Cone, one of the best backs in the Big Eight, was the leader of the Blue-lays' victory. His running and passing was very effective. King Oakey and Dick Potter stood out for the Central squad, with Fis- cus and Schneider playing a line game at ends. Most of the game was played in a light mist, which didn't seem to bother the backs or the center. This was Ianesville's first conference victory in as many starts. BELOIT 13, CENTRAL 6-Playing at Beloit, the Central gridders dropped their second conference game in three starts by a score of 13-6. Eddie May, of Beloit, was the sparkplug of the Line City squad. May broke away for many long runs, only to be brought down from behind by Central's backs. One of the highlights of the game was Oakey's punt that went out of bounds on the 10-yard line. CENTRAL 13, Hoaucx 0-Madison Central's gridders climbed upwards in the Big Eight race by defeating Racine Horlick 13-0 at Breese Stevens field. This was Central's second victory in four games and Horlick's fourth consecu- tive defeat. On its two scoring drives Central looked tops. Dickie Potter, speedy little quarterback, paced a 90-yard march leading to Central's second touchdown. Central scored two touchdowns, each in the third and fourth quar- ters. These were the only exciting points of the game. Cen- tral gained fairly steadily during the first half, but were un- able to penetrate beyond Horlick's 15-yard line. Penalties stopped two scoring threats of Central. WEsT 13, CENTRAL 7-After a hard fought battle, West High's football team finally came out on the long end of a 13-7 score over Central. Playing inspired ball, the Central football team went into a 7-0 lead at the beginning of the third quarter when Oakey broke loose and out-ran the West secondary for the score and converted the extra point from a placement. On a few plays later, Oakey was forced from the game with an injured leg. Two plays after Oakey had left the game, Merritt got away and sidestepped McCann and ran for 47 yards to score. Pfahler's plunge for the extra point was short of the goal and Central still led 7-6. West's second touchdown drive started when Central's forward wall completely collapsed and Pfahler crossed the Central goal for the winning counter. West's speedy halfback, Brown, went around right end for the extra point. Sanders and Lee stood out in the play of the two rival lines, while Potter and Grady did their share in Qcontinued on page 401 page eleven
