We Like To Plag 'IWLNTY-TWO OCIAL alfairs among pupils make up an important part in the life of the pupil. Dances, movies, parties, plays, and games have been sponsored by outstanding school organi- zations. Play going has become distinctly a part of the social calendar. For the pupils dramatic production is an occasion for enjoying and appreciating the art of other pupils. lt encourages friendships which last beyond high school years. The social committee and Girls' club have sponsored parties, while the Student Council has been most active in planning several events of a social nature. Can you remember those noon-hour dances, with Esther Burhop and Mr. Marsh operating the victrolaP How they couldn't get it to work the First few times and what a terrible time the council had trying to get contributions in the coffee can? Wasn't it nice being able to sit in the aud during noon hour and be entertained by those free movies? If you didn,t have anything else to do you could enter one of the checker games which were also sponsored by the noon-hour committee. Think back to November ll, when the fellows decorated their jalopies and piled the kids in. This memorable occasion was the homecoming parade which followed the band around the square. Certainly you recall the sportsmanship drives for the operetta and the games, which were held both in the aud and home rooms. Canit you just see Graham and Gabbei running around with boxes of candy bars in their hands, trying to stir up business at the basketball games? If you went to Tony Sarg, you'll remember the outstanding little jitterbugs, and if you ever joined the dancing lessons which took place in the girls' gym during Monday and Thursday activity periods, you can bring back many happy memories. But this is not alll The biggest event was the Decoration Day Dance held in the boys' gym. Remember how different the gym seemed? Kinda romantic-like with the lights

There goes the tip, ladies and gentlemen! NVellman takes the ball, passes it to Derrg Derr to Scalissig Scalissi dribbles towards the basket going full speed. He is in the clear -it looks like a sure basket. Oopsl . . . he has lost control of himsellg his speed carries him on-crashing into the hard brick wall at the end of the gym. He is writhing on his back, his lace twisted into horrible grim- aces of agony . . . LOOK AT THAT The gun sounds and the straining runners burst down the track. Livermore seems to have the edge. Half of the distance is over. The race should be his . . . but wait, folks, some ironic quirk of fate has caused him to trip and fall. The runners Hash past him, leaving him entirely out of the race. He tries to rise but can't. He has sprained his ankle. Too had-one of Central's best dash men. These things thrill the crowds, add zest to the sport, but to those concerned most, they work exactly the opposite. Hundreds of inci- dents like these are a constant headache to the coaches. In the First place, they deprive the school ol' the services of that particular fellow, and, added to that, 65071174 page ill N i h P f f'- A 'I' , 1,-w1.fff,f's-us :.ffe.ga2ea-,ifxss l ft I' QP 5 A COME HERE BALL

And, say, donit you remember how dillierent it seemed with the tables set up above in the hall, and also what a terrible time lack Derr had passing out the cokes.
