We have striven to depict our beloved school in the important events of the current year. 1940-1941, ami to show the part Central High School has and is playing in the fulfillment of the ideal. Democracy, the “Worth of the Individual.” The attitude of the school toward the individual is vastly different today from that of a century ago. The change has not been a sudden shift at any particular time. Rather, it has been a plodding struggle for many years. Today, individual differences arc recognized as a factor in education. Some groups need an academic training; some require a type of training vastly different. Some need trigonometry; others need sheet-metal work. But the total progress made is the democratic ideal of equality based on excellence and respect for all persons. If from this publication there is derived not merely a love for our school days, whose pleasant memories shall give us greatest joy in the years that follow, but also an appreciation of the contribution of Central High School to a living democracy, then we shall have achieved a worthy objective. Material and help from many members of the Mirror Staff were utilized in the preparation of this magazine, together with the aid of the journalism classes, which contributed much of the research, made many valuable suggestions, and prepared the manuscript. The assistance of the Art and English departments also was especially helpful in making this publication possible. —Mary Ellen Farrell 1 r CENTRAL . . . Piaae i 9a emo uUic £ducatio i 114 adison Chntmi l-1ic.it S- inMii h.i made a great deal of progress since die lime, nearly a hundred years ago, when two teachers and a handful of pupils comprised die entire lii ;li school system of the city. But it is not in si r alone that the school has progressed. Tremendous gains have been made in teach ing metitods, in the subjects offered, and hi providing the students with extra activities for the purpose of developing their interests. 'Hie purpose of American education to day is to mould the Itest |io sihle citizens for life in a democracy. In order to do this, a school must offer its pupils good cultural background, a study of society and its problems. locational training, a knowledge of the line arts, ami a variety of outside activities. The word pioneer in the title of this article is not meant to imply that (x-ntral was always the first to introduce new theories of education. But, because school officials in this city have always been ijuick to take advantage of new ideas in education, and because Central was usually far abend of the majority of schools in introducing new educational philosophies, pioneer seems a fitting and a just term to use. It is interesting to thumb through the tiinc-yellowcd records of the schools; and to watch, as you read, the gradual development of our present fine example of democracy in education—Central Senior I ligh School.

Vocational Subjects The school authorities of Madison first answered the call for a more practical education away hack in 1876, when they established a course in bookkeeping for seniors. Two years later, a commercial course was established, consisting of commercial law, commercial arithmetic, and lxx kkeeping. Within a few years, however, vocational education suffered a relapse, and the course was dropped from the curriculum. Not until 1908 was training for specific jobs again introduced, and then it was introduced with a rush. Complete commercial, manual training, and home economics departments were installed in that year. The need for these courses had been recognized for several years, but lack of space necessitated svailing until the present high school building was erected before offering them. Since that time, the vocational departments have been enlarged and constant-ly improved so that the present fine results were obtained. Music and Art Although music and art have some vocational opportunities, they arc not offered primarily for that reason. It was rather because of the feeling that, in order to turn out citi zens of the highest caliber, schools must teach the appreciation of the finer things in life, that these courses were established. Credit for music and art was first given in 1895. although some instruction in singing and drawing had been offered before that time. A chorus, or glee club, as it svas called, was at first the only musical organization. Ap|urcntly the music teacher succeeded in making the world a happier place almost at once, for the principal rc|x rtcd at the end of the first year: We arc particularly proud to notice a great improvement throughout the sch xj| in the Ixiys’ singing. 11k first art class studied the works and methods of famous artists and learned to draw simple figures with charcoal. Mechanical drawing was included in the art course for lx ys for several years. Since those days when charcoal and pencils were the only art tool and the lx ys‘ singing was so bad, the art ami music departments have made great progress. Although it was not established for that purpose, the art department might be classed as a vocational course lx--cause of the number of really fine artists it turns out each year. Orchestra and band arc now part of the musical organization of the school, along with the chorus and clsoir; and all. by dint of the conscientious work on the part of the instructors, have been built up until the school may well jxiint to than with pride. Physical Education Realizing that sound Ixxbcs must accompany strong minds in the citizens of a great nation, and realizing that it was part of the duty of the schools to help build those sound Ixxlics, the educators of Madison instituted a program of physical education into Central early in its history. For many years, this program consisted only of giving healthful exercises for about fifteen minutes (continued on jmge Vf) 181 Student Council tf-osi fiette L £ -Q(Uj-eA t+tte U Tom Miaui feet one an Each via Central students arc given more opportunity tor self-government. We arc earning this privilege by choosing wisely the members of the Stinlcnt Council, members who use the power they arc given justly and intelligently, and for our benefit. In the past year the C-ouncil has climbed high on the ladder of success, and they deserve a great deal of credit. It is their hope that some day the students of this school will be capable of complete sell-government. They feel that a student organization which has been carefully picked is just as important to us as is the picking of congressmen to our parents. Starting right otT at the beginning, we see that the Council was well organized licforc we got user! to sitting down all day. They gave their first contribution to the social activities of the year when they sponsored a very successful “get-acquainted dance. A few weeks later, the Council tacked a Central homecoming and gave several good pep meetings for this year’s great football team. Soon after this, they presented several auditorium programs, both educational and entertaining. As winter wore on, many of the fellows and girls began eating their lunches at school and from this circumstance arose a new problem. What to do at noon hour? What was to be done to keep all ot them from becoming I sored and turning to mischief for excitement? Again the Council took over. They set up ping-pong tables, presented movies, and obtained a special noon-hour study for the students. For the socially-minded they sponsored several after school and evening parties, and noon-hour dances. They even started a class for those who didn't know how to dance. 1 IIS urigh about one hundred thirty pound . Hr has blonde hair and brown eyes. Tom it a eery likable (hap. a member of the XI Club.

Opportunities lor self-expression in the program of live school, experience in government, and development of initiative and rcs|x nsihilitv arc some contributions of the Council to its members and the student body. More than ever today, employers and colleges arc considering student council work as a valuable asset to any pupil. The Council plans to develop its program so that more pupils can have valuable cx| cricncc in this work. —Tom Marsh m Two Clubs fyoA the Qe+te ial 'Wel a'ie Girls' Club a DEMOCRACY of Exf.F4.LKNi:i is obtained through superior contributions made by in dividuals anti organizations. The iirl ' Club has matlc such contributions this year tor the welfare of the Central I ligh School community. The Cirls Club was founded in 1925 by Mr. Volncy G. Barnes, principal of the sclsool at that time. He recognized the need lor a club “to promote friendship anti good citizenship among the girls of the school. More services arc contributed to the school by the Girls’ Club than by any other body in Central. It promotes friendship among the girls, earns money for the Scholarship bund, sends messages to pupils who are ill, helps visitors by means of a hospitality desk in tlie hall, gives programs and parties, anti generally aids girls and serves the school. The various projects in the tall, all of which have been successful, were: selling pins, neckerchiefs, streamers, | enn.ints, Christmas cards, paper wrappings, and ribbon. This spring, they have had a magazine sale, candy sales, and a rummage sale. Year ‘round services are a candy counter, a lost and found department in the office, a girl to send a get well card to an ill pupil, and the hospitality desk. Programs presented this year by the Girls’ Club have been the annual Skirt and Sweater day; Miss Arlitc Smith, a champion diver; the costume party; Miss ! Iclen Pukszta, dress designer; several faculty teas; and the Cosmetic Clinic. For the first time in Central’s history, the Girls' Club had a formal installation of officers. The program included speeches by outgoing officers and by Mary Jane Maloney, the new president, anti music by the Girls’ Triple Trio. Since the fall of 1934, Miss Elizabeth Ritzmann has served as sponsor of the club for two years. Miss Theresa Klcinhcinz for two years. Miss Nina Fredrickson for two years, and Miss Frances Metz for the present school year of 1940-41. —Jacqi'CLynk Hanson Art Club in American schools we have cooperation in- stead of coercion. The Art (3ub of Central High is one of the best examples of this democratic principle. What organization has not asked for the services of the Art Club and has not found them willingly given5 However, keeping up with all the demands for its services would Ik impossible without the help of the art classes. This year the Art Club hail a total of 19 members, of whom l.ilyanc lax svas president, William Lidh, vice-president; William (ash. treasurer; Janet Gaffney, secretary: and Claude Moss, program chairman. For the senior high operetta this year, The Pirates of Penzance. the stage crew was made up of members of the Art Club. One of them, Dorothy Felton, designed the two scenes for the production. Richard (continued on page 33) I I I Short Story Aoi Much to He P oud 01 A hard-loo king young man, dressed in torn and shabby clothes, slipped slowly and cautiously into the dry, dark doorway of Bchrmun's Printing Company in the small town ot Tcrryville. It was a cold, gloomy night, and the rain, coming down in torrents, caused everything to be water and mud. Jim, as a few people knew him, was soaked to the skin. He stood as straight as possible and scarcely moved in order to keep his cold, wet clothing from rubbing against him. He was so hungry it seemed as it he had no stomach at all, for his licit was wrapjicd almost twice around him. |irn was used to this sensation, for he was another one of those hopeless thousands who roam about the world with nothing to do but keep out of the way of the police. I Ic had never gone beyond the eighth grade in school because he was too stupid. 1 lis father had plenty of money to send him if Jim had had the brains. But Jim was clever enough to learn the ropes of the world. I Ic made one big mistake, however, which he always regretted. He never was caught. He regretted this situation because he felt like a man being constantly watched. In other words, he had a weak conscience. I Ic hated officers; he hated women; hr hated to do an honest day’s work; in fact, he even hated to hear his name mentioned, which was usually in a court room or in a jail. Just two hours before he entered this dry doorway, he had been in court where the judge had given him eight hours to lease town; Jim had headed for the railroad station to hop a ride in a dry box car. About thirty years before this incident, Jim had been born near Tcrryville, Indiana, and raised in the large house of his rich father; so he knew his way around tin town fairly well. At seventeen, full of adventure, he had run away from home became his father was too strict with him. Jim had roamed about alter that, sometimes doing a little work, most of the time stealing, and just managing to keep alive. During that big mistake of his, Jim was shot in the face by an officer. He recovered, but his face was a horrible looking mess when the doctor removed the bandages. A friend prettied up his face well enough so that a person could never tell he had been the victim of a slug of lead. Of course, his former friends could not recognize him. As Jim reclined in the doorway of the building, lie reached for his cigarettes. He pulled out a thoroughly soaked package. which made a little puddle of water at his feet. As lie tried to pull out a single cigarette, each one tore, leaving the tobacco sticking to his hand. In his fury Jim crushed the package to a pulp, threw it into the gutter, and watched it float down the street. He was about to throw his lighter away when he remembered that his mother had given it to him ten years ago. No, I won't throw this away, he said to himself as lie lighted it with his thumb. That is all I have left, and I’m going to keep it. Jim watched the flame of the cigarette lighter with half-closed eyes until gradually he caught the flicker of tin shiny door knob on the entrance door of the building. The thought of a warm, dry lied came to his mind; he was tempted to enter the building. Maybe I can find some dry clothes, or maybe I can find something to cat. The words, spoken almost aloud, were full of hope. There might Ik sonic money there too! (icntly Jim turned ihr knob and pulled on the door. It was locked! In a fit of anger he pulled again on the door and rattled it with terrific force. The door jarred hut failed to yield. A car rapidly approached on the wet pavement. Jim quickly ducked into a dark doorway and watched a police prowl car speed past, flashing its spotlight from side to side. I Jc stayed in the doorway until the car disappeared and then headed for the railroad station. After looking in vain for something to cover up with before the train came, Jim fell onto a bench at the railroad station and soon was fast asleep. When he awoke, he didn't know whether or not llie train had arrived. It had stopped raining, hut it was still cold. Maybe I can get a bite to eat before the next train comes, said Jim, shivering with the cold. As the lights seemed to welcome him, he started oil toward the little house near the bottom of the hill. Approaching the house, Jim .dipped around to the back and up the steps. Beeping in at the kitchen window, he saw no one. He moved to the door and rapped. Through the window Jim could see a happy-looking, gray-haired old lady approaching the door. Please, Madam, can I have something to cat? I'm so hungry I would cat anything you have. Mrs. Carney was used to having hums and tramps stop at her house. She knew what Jiin wanted, but she didn't let him know. She was too easy with everyone, and she knew it; so she tried to cover it up by acting strict and mean. Do you see any signs that say, 'FREE MEALS’? asked the elderly woman. No, hut— But nothing! What makes you think you can walk in here and get one1 Well,—thanks anyway, said Jim as he started to l ack off the porch. Come, come, young man, I didn't say I wouldn’t feed you. Come in.” The smile came again to the gray-haired lady’s face. He hurried through the door which the woman held open and went for the chair by the small kitchen table. Mrs. Carney placed some food in front of Jim, who started to eat without further comment. What’s your name, young man? asked the old woman, (muring out some coffee. “Ah. ur—Bill Jones is the name, lady, said Jim without a bat of an eyelash. Suddenly in the other room Jim saw a picture which he recognized at once. It was his picture. He looked at it for some time, and when he became aware that Mrs. Carney was watching him, lie asked, Is that your son’s picture?” “Yes, that’s my son, a fine l oy. although I haven’t seen him for a long time. It’s ten years ti he exact. He left home because my husband was too strict with him. John, that’s my husband, died four years ago. “My mother! thought Jim, “but slic’d never believe me if I told her. My face is changed, and all I am is a tramp. She would be ashamed of me. Do you know my son? He’s an honest-looking boy. I can just see him now. a handsome young man, making out fine in the world. Ah, yes. I do know him slightly, (continued on page ) 1 Dramatics Ite PaAAitKf, Pasiade individual appreciation and understanding of good plays • arc developed through the Central I ligh Dramatics dc partment. Students working on the production stall have learned the work that goes with producing a play. Each year’s plays arc a passing parade l timely topics, interesting characters, and problems with which we need to l� c better acquainted. Our only dictators arc good judgment and good taste. The dramatics department, under the direction of Miss Ruth KcntjJcr and her stall, has produced two plays this year with splendid results. From these productions much talent has been discovered both in acting ami producing. The students have been given an opportunity to work in whatever line they choose, such as properties, costumes, make-up and stage crew or any of the other jobs which contribute in making actual drama a success. One of the highest honors that the dramatics department can bestow on any pupil is admission to the Mummer's Guild. This organization is ojxrn to those who have participated in any of the plays, whether it be in the drama or production work. The candidate is voted upon and if he meets with all of the requirements, he is admitted. At the present time there are about 2-1 members, some of whom arc named here: president, Lois Meng; secretary. Caryl Schimming; other members—June and loycc lohannes, Luralic and Mary Litschcr, Alice I’eet. Robert Flugum, (Jordon Ware, Patricia Flannery, Maurice Nelson, Gritton Allin anti Guilford Glazier, Dorothy Brown, Kathryn Hayes, Edward Rein, Chester Kinder, Donald Kirkpatrick. Stanley Kuhnitz, James I lyslop. I lazel Williams anil Donald Parkinson. The Mummer’s Guild” itself puts on plays in which all the players arc strictly Mummers. This year they produced Elmer. The play centered around s modern high school boy (Gritton Allin), who felt that he was being treated like a child by his older, more sophisti- cated twin sisters I (unc and Joyce lohannes). hut he finally convinced them that he wasn't the child they thought. Miss Kcntzlcr chose tor the winter play. Secret Agents by Koisert Roy. We might add that Miss Kcntzlcr tries to select plays with timely plot and meaning to interest the average high school student. “Secret Agents was chosen because of the everyday interest in Fifth Column activities. The play took place in a small town. A young widow, Mrs. Holmes (Mary Jayne Frankc), with her two children (laiis Meng and Leon Kelley), and her father (Maurice Nelson), led a quiet life until a foreign dancing teacher and her brother (Caryl Schimming and Peter Rein), came to their little town. The applause indicated that the play was appreciated. When the books were balanced at the end cl the year, it was found that the plays were put on at a good profit. With the money the dramatics department helped greatly with the purchasing of Central’s new recording machine—an accomplishment of which they arc proud. And there you have a review of the plays put on by Central Senior I ligh this year, but the majority of us think, well, that’s over, the plays were interesting enough anil let it go at that, but think of tlic work that was put into those plays and what the partakers have gained from them. Besides their regular studies they have gained additional vocational training in projects that many will nuke their life’s work. With this experience they have gained poise, voice, and recognition of the whole school, besides getting over the inevitable stage fright, a malady from which so many high chool students suffer. They have gained greater appreciation of the acting in radio as well as on the stage and screen. Then, too, they’ve shared in the fun connected with creative activities. So you see, if you possibly can do it. it would be to your advantage to get in the dramatics department.

IK I Pirates of Penzance” or Pinzav i centered around Frederic, a slasc of duty, who, through a mistake of Ruth. his nurse. wa apprenticed to a hand of pirates until his twenty-first birth day. On the day he became twenty-one, he met Mabel and they fell in lose. He told her that this was the last day of apprenticeship, and he would then leave the pirate lair. Because he refused to take Ruth with him, site tried to make him stay. After he left. Ruth and the pirate king discovered that Frederick was born in I-cap Year and had, therefore, not reached hit twenty-first birthday. They found Frederic and told him of the paradox they hail uncovered, and. though he loathed to do it. he returned to the pirates, and they made plans to kill (Jcncral Stanley and cause his daughters to suffer. The pirates, who arc subdued by the sergeant and the other policemen, vow to live good lives. Each is presented with one of the general's daughters as a wife. There are eleven main characters: Richard, a pirate chief. George Torgeson; Samuel, his lieutenant, (kite Moen (Friday), Phillip Starr (Saturday); Frederic, a pirate apprentice, Maurice Nelson; Major General Stanley, of the British army, |cromc Rornstcin; Edward, a sergeant of the police, Calvin Harris; Mabel, General Stanley's youngest daughter, Mary Catherine Kgan; three of General Stanley's daughters. Edith, Kate, Isabel, Ruth Alt, Clair Ellcstad, and |uuc Johannes. respectively; Ruth, a piratical maid of all work, Patricia Flannery. Other characters were selected from the chorus. Did you ever stop to think of what a tremendous | art of a production is played behind the scenes? Of 240 people on the production stall, not more than seventy-five were seen by the audience in the production of the operetta. Now for a look behind the scenes: l.unch was served when rehearsals lasted from 4:40 to nearly 8:50 and sometimes Ijtcr. These occasions brought about some amusing incidents. One time the stage crew raced madly to see who could cat the most sandwiches with one bottle of milk; another time Phillip Starr started singing his part in all too modern a tempo after 'Mapping out tunes on his bass viol. In charge of the lighting was Robert Valentine; posters, the advanced art classes; stage design, IXsrothy Felton; program cut, Tony Guastclla; stage crew, Marian Hansen: costumes. Shirley Sims; birthday cake. Miss Alcott, art class; business and advertising. Lucy Hobbs; publicity. IXsrothy Brown. The attendance was estimated to Ik- about 1,500. Miss Marion Ihixtable and Mr. Leroy Klosc were in charge of the singing and orchestra, respectively. The audience’s reaction to the operetta was extremely satisfying. Comments made by the student body on Pirates have been very complimentary. —Mary Vaiciin M«tV Vihjis, a inni'tr, it dt-Urn yean of a r, hat Nitride hau. Nnr eyet. amt ii fire fert term mi hr t tut).

I 3) Music Ojj All Vatia+vi The Madison Central Band ml Mimc Dti'AKTMisT'% contribution to the education of students tor lilt in .� democracy is a large one. I lerc in Ontr.il, we .ire given tire privilege of learning and appreciating good music from al! countries, regardless of the race or creed of the composer. I lerc, every person is given the chance to learn to play an instrument, whether or not he can afford to buy his own. I lerc, music is for everyone. When you or I listen to music, whethrr a hand or an orchestra or chorus, it is not often that we really appreciate all the effort, hard work, and heartbreak that go into making an enjoyable musical masterpiece. Not many realize the time and effort and the constant practice which make up the smallest moment of easy to listen to music. Music possesses the ability to sway all who will listen. Tears and laughter are wrapped in notes. Music inspires and enthralls. How dreary life would Ik without song! I am writing not of the great symphony orchestras or the great name bands, but rather of our own musical organizations: Central's orchestra and Central's hand and Central's choir. All of you, I am surr, have at sometime or other heard one or all of these groups at their best. Some people think that to play an instrument or to join a glee club is for sissies only, and that anyone who isn’t a little that way” shies clear of the director's stand. Let me assure you that this is as far from being the truth as anything could possibly Ik. It takes brains and nimble fingers to play even the simplest of the instruments in Central's band or orchestra, liven more than that—one must |x ssess rm courage to play before a crowd of expectant person . 'lire essentials that any boy or jjirl must have who wishes to join one of the iiiumcjI organization arc simply these: first, plenty of time (an hour's practice a day isn’t too much): second, the aforementioned courage (the ability to carry through when your heart is in your mouth; third, rhythm (it would never do to miss the tempo). The most memorable performance of this year was the Christmas program. In Cot hie surroundings (which, incidentally, is the only set of its kind in the United States) the choir sang hymns. Opportunities for a musical-minded student here in Central arc many. Our system of supplying instruments for those unable to own their own has met with favor. Under the direction of capable teachers one may go far on an instrument of his own choosing.

Central’s student life would certainly Ik- less cheerful without the hand to enliven it. What would a football game Ik- without music to cheer the team to victory? Stop to think of the color added to the picture when the band performs upon the field. Taking into account all festivities at which the hand, the orchestra, the chorus, and choir have appeared at this year. Central may be proud of tlic musical achievements attained by these groups. And this summer, while you arc taking a swim or lying in the sun, these music students will lie home practicing or attending Wisconsin’s annual summer music clinic, just so that you will have a better hand, orchestra and better singing groups next year. —Claude Moss The Modi foil Central A Cappclla Choir 11 I The Contribution of Athletics Championship to American Youth Football lUT doe participation in athletic events do ior ail American youth of today? Docs it teach him to hate and despise hi opponent? Docs it incite rebellion toward those in authority and discourage the meaning and use of cooperation? Docs it discourage the practice ot fair play and respect for the rights of others? NTo! In our schools today, participation in school and inter-school athletics is encouraged. The spirit of fair play, of pcrscvcrcncc, of rc-sjicct for the rights of others, and many other distinct and important qualities arc taught to five students in our schools today. Let me make a specific example of Central and touch upon these qualifications necessary for the bettering of American youth. The athletes in our school arc taught the meaning of fair play. They arc shown, that il they play fair ami obey the rules, they will have learned an essential quality which will aid them in the future. The pupils, too, arc encouraged to practice good sportsmanship among themselves. We all learn to lx; good losers; the little failures we may have in the future will not hinder our progress. We shall profit by our cxjiencncc in high school and use the failures as stepping stones to success in whatever endeavor we may choose. Another quality of prime importance is the respect for the rights of others. We learn to respect the authority someone may have over us and to acknowledge llie abilities of others. Those who participate in athletic events in Central learn cooperation. The players arc taught to cooperate with each other ami work for the team’s success. Students learn to cooperate with each otheT and with the cheerleaders to bring success to our school. Cooperation lends to loyalty. In our later years we will find that cooperation and loyalty will aid us in attaining the goal of success. Finally, our athletes have a persistent spirit. Hie spirit of pcrscvcrcncc reigned over Central this year and by that spirit a championship in football was gained. Although we did not win a basketball championship, this same spirit of pcrscvcrcncc was plainly evident. The qualifications necessary for the bettering of American youth arc being taught more extensively as each year comes and gixrs. Always remem Ik r that athletic events aid and do not impede us in our climb to success. At mr. iu'.oinNino of the football season last year, the Central team was not given much of a chance in competitive playing. All pre-game opinions prophesied u miserable season. At the most, Ontral was given a chance by the students for hut a single victory. However, the team wasn't convinced. They became Big Fight champions. The very first game was a great and pleasant surprise. Central thoroughly trounced Wisconsin High, 19-0. In tlvcir second game the Orange and Black eleven repeated their performance and downed Racine 1 lorlick, also to the tune of 19-0. The following week saw a setback. The Red Devils of Kenosha gave Central a doubtful 12-6 defeat. However, Ontral did not lose heart hut gained vengeance the next week, toppling the bewildered Racine Park team, 20-0. Next, they won a close one from the Janesville Bluebirds. The Maize and Blue team from Madison West was the next victim. The score was 13-7. In the final gridiron tilt of the season. Central tipped Madison Fast, 20-0. In every one of these games, Paul Romano, junior flash, scored at least one touchdown. Romano led the offensive attack in every game and played a big part in defensive tactics. Paul starred especially on his running, hut his passing and punting were also exceptional. Another player who deserves a great amount of credit was (icorgc Torgeson. Targe-ton, captain a n d quarterback, was playing his third straight year on the first tea m. Although he was not an exceptional offensive star. George played his part in the yard-gaining. In the final game of his high school career. Torgeson raced thirty-five yards through half the Fast team and scored his one and only touchdown in three years of playing. George was outstanding, however, in defensive play and was the spearhead of our team’s defense. A few of the other outstanding players were Joe Kennedy. |«k Collctti, Dave Laska, John Law-ry, anil Frank Gambino. Kennedy suffered a broken leg in his last game but was rated as one of the top tackles of the conference. Joe Colletti, All-Conference guard, needs no introduction. Joe was undoubtedly the best guard in the conference. Dave Laska, Kennedy’s running mate, was the other (continued on page 35) SEASONS September start, the footh,dl teuton.

Although statistics anil games won and lost seem to contradict this statement, the spirit and eternal fire of energy burned througlxmt the whole team. Spirit and fight arc the essentials oi a winning team basically, hut our Orange and Mack raiders proved an exception to the rule. Central played twelve conference games this year anil won hut three. However, the average amount of winning points was just five more than Central's. In the first game C-cntral Ixrat West 25-16. The game proved interesting and encouraging for both the spectators and the players. However, the team suffered hitter defeat in the next six games.

Idle greatest margin of defeat was by Park in the first till between the schools. Score 35-20. The next game was a thriller and a hig surprise to everyone hut the Central players. Central upset a bewildered Kenosha squad in the second game hv a 25-M margin. Central s last four games were contests which neither the writer nor the reader will forget. Central won only one of the last four, but the greatest margin of defeat in the other three was only three points. Central fought a losing battle in the llorlick fracas, but gained the respect of the boys from Racine. hollowing these tilts. Central played two games. They dropped the first to Beloit. 26-24. and generally tore Racine Park apart on the following night. The disheartened players from Racine Park returned home much the worse for their 43-24 defeat. The last game of the year was with East I bgh. The game was a bitter disapjsoint-ment to the Central boys, who lost 1H-I7. The regular members of the Big Eight Conference team of fighters were George Lauck and fack Boyle, forwards; Don Schiro, center; George Torgeson, Joe Collctti, guards. We admire the spirit ot this year's team. They were discouraged, but they didn't quit.

Tin emu' sjxirts season has hern very successful this year. ll started out with .1 hang in the volleyball tournament and continued the firing straight through the basketball, soccer, ami bascliall tournaments, and the archery classes. Archery was a new addition to our sports schedule this year. It was probably the most faithfully attended of all the sports. Hu- third periml tennis class was very well attended also. There is a lot more to these sports than getting one hundred (xiints. For proof of this fact. I asked some ol the senior girls, who signed up for every sjxirt |x ssiblc during their three years of high school, what after-school sports did for them. Joyce Hougland. our all-around star, says, I came in contact with girls I might not have met otherwise. After-school sport kept me in good physical condition, and furnished a lot of fun besides. I also have learned to keep a better check on my unruly temper.” I.uralic Litschcr remarked that girls’ sports improved the general sportsmanship of the girls who took part. A little girl with a lot of energy, Hermina Landolt. thought the experience of coming in contact with many taces and creeds was a very good and democratic practice, which says much in favor of girls' sports. Shirley Marty, a very busy person, said, “I have made many of my best and truest friends by meeting them during nflcr-schixil sports.” Beatrice Gloc stated that girls sports have furnished her an easy and pleasant wav of keeping her muscles from getting rusty. Katherine Powers is the smallest, fairest, and one of the best players on the senior team. She definitely agrees with many of the foregoing facts, and adds that her participation in girls' basketball has given her a better appreciation of the lx� ys' game by the same name. Alice Pert, this year's girls' sports editor, said, and still says, There is nothing new I can add to what has already been said, except to say that some of the happiest hours of my high school career have been spent in the gym with the other gym enthusiasts.” It doesn't take much time to be true to your team, if you have one. If you haven't one, you'd belter hurry to join, because you will find it well worth your while. It takes only one and one-half hours a week, which really isn't much when you stop to think what you get for it. Did you notice that most of the answers given l y the seniors connect girls' s|xiris with some sort of democratic training? Well, they do! Be faithful to your team, and you will keep your health, he able to forget your troubles, and get a gcxwl democratic training, too! Girls' Sports —Alice Peet Shaw Prize Why I Admire H. V. Kaltenborn If yoc have ever been fortunate enough to linen to H. V. 1 Kaltenborn. you understand what 1 mean when I say I admire him. He was not heard very extensively over the national hookups until the present war broke out. It was then that many of the now well-established radio commentators received their start. As the American people wished to hear brief resumes of world happenings, the popularity of the news programs increased, and the staff of radio commentators was increased. Many of tltesc men began, not only to present the news, but to analyze it also. One of these men was H. V. Kaltenborn. H. V. Kaltenborn is an American of Dutch parentage. Before his commentator days he traveled extensively throughout tire world, gaining knowledge of world problems and historic events. That is one reason I admire him; he lias the background necessary for a news analyst, therefore, his judgment carries weight because people realize be is qualified to make judgment. Many newscasters hurry through their offering without a thought for clear enunciation. A good example of this is Walter Winchdl. Kaltenborn is entirely the opposite. With his moderately paced, clipped, cosmopolitan voice, he enunciates clearly and emphasizes his words. He doesn't merely pronounce a series of meaningless words; he emphatically expresses an idea with his words. A typical example of his work was his analysis of the flight of Rudolph Hess to Scotland. He carefully told in detail the story of this historic journey. Then, going hack ro the beginning, he explained the possible motives for such a flight. He then analyzed the significance of it for both Kngland and Germany. To make it more interesting, he related something of Hess’ personality, the man's importance in the German government, ami Iiis own contacts with Hess. In his brief talk he had given the listener the facts, the possible motives, and the possible results. You could either accept his conclusion or one of your own planning. 1 also admire the lack of bias in his presentations. I am sure he must meet with a great deal of favoritism when gaining his information. I lc tries to weed all of this out along with the propaganda. By doing this he makes his account all the more pleasing to everyone. Last summer during the Republican and Democratic Conventions, he was on hand to dcvcrilnr them. His personality adder! color to these rather colorless gatherings. He made it a pleasure to listen to the nominations. He doesn’t make the mistake of relying on past travels and readings entirely. He keeps up with the latest occurrences in all of the important fields which arc related to his work. Although lie only broadcasts two or three times a week, he is constantly occupied in preparing these few programs. That is one of tire most important reasons they arc so excellent. All of his attributes combine to make him one of the greatest commentators of his day. He is an accomplished orator, a learned student of history, a competent analyzer, and a distinguished personality. All of these arc the main reasons why I admire II. V. Kaltenborn. —Mary Drigcer Training My Family Wftir.s I speak of training my family, I am almost inclined to call it a “menagerie. We have a tat lady, a skinny man, mischievous midgets, and a roaring Barker. Yes, I have a circus in my own home. The lady of our domain is the jollicst person you ever did meet. She is short and plump, with a merry smile, and twinkling eyes. I Icr most grievous fault is her dislike of my monkeys. She docs not dislike them but she docs not approve of their silly antics. I'm not permitted to romp with them for she claims I am now a lady and must act as such. The skinny man of our circus is typical of those you read about. He is a kind, lovable person with a sympathetic nature towards others. His intense dislike of my driving circus carts has given me quite a few lack moments. He will need a little mote training than the others. Now for my mischievous midgets, we have two qf them. They arc alike as “two peas in a pod, and one is as had as the other. They arc forever getting into trouble, falling in mud pics, or trying to fix a bruised limb of one of their friends; usually breaking one of their own during the process. They need a hit of training to smooth off the rough edges but they have the markings of good performers. The steadying force in our menagerie is the gruff, but lovable old man, usually referred to as the Barker.” I Iis training needs long and tedious hours. I Iis illness is tragic and hopeless, but nevertheless, he manages to bellow his orders from the Main Tent, day after day, and we all jump to obey, not because of fear, hut because we know his days as the Barker with our family arc few. There you have in four simple paragraphs what my circus is like. From my descriptions you may be able to figure out svhat training is needed, hut in case you arc not able I’ll tell you. I must train my fat lady to learn to love my monkey as I do. and to realize that although I am a lady, I am also a very ordinary seventeen-year-old girl. I must train my father in the knowledge that circus carts arc not really dangerous, and if I am permitted to learn to drive one, it may prove useful some day. My midgets need to be trained in the knowledge of good behavior, hut as they arc a hit young, I shall permit the fat lady to do this. Later on. when they arc well on their way to being performers then my work shall l cgin. My Moved “Barker needs no training, for his is complete, and out of my hands. —Jean Conner [21 | Organizations 4 04 GUye+vi a]j 'ladcuf, Eveky Wednesday, during our activity period. .1 group « f popular .ind interesting activities in our high school guc into action. The clubs meet. Club meetings alternate; some are on lirst and third Wednesdays of the month; others on the second and fourth Wednesdays. The qualifications lor membership are varied; but as a rule, all that is necessary is an interest in the subject ot the club. The clubs' purposes arc to give the student more education in the subject in which he is interested, and to cover additional material which cannot lie covered in class. Each year the clubs try to achieve some chosen goal. The Photography Club, this year, has sponsored a photo salon. Several of the clubs donated money tor the new movie projector. The Girls Club sponsored many events during the year and gave many scholarships to outstanding students. These arc hut a few of the services rendered to the school by the different clubs. All meetings are run by democratic procedures. This gives tl� c pupils experience in governing themselves, which they will use in later life. Fateh club has for an adviser .1 teacher suited to the subject. Under his direction the club can maintain high standards which make the work more valuable to students. The Ushers' Club, under the direction of Mr. Hex Lichen, berg, assistant principal, has been functioning for several years at Central. The club is made up of senior high boys anil the only qualification is that the members lx- interested in ushering. This club lias served at all of tlic home basketball and football games, the plays, and auditorium programs. The newly formed Usherettes Club has. however, relicscd them of auditorium program duties. Besides doing a great service to the school, the dub helps to give the mcmlxrrs poise and manners. The “M Club, directed by Mr. lljrold Pollock, football coach, is the athletic club of the school. To gain member- ship in this club, a student must have won a letter in senior football, track or basketball; service at cheerleader or manager is also acceptable. Every year this club sponsors a minstrel show, the laugh show of the season. The proceeds from it go to help pay for injuries received by the players during the past season. Miss Rosa Pope has charge of the French Club, one of the two language clubs; the German Club is directed by Miss Regina 1 Icin. The French Club conducts its meetings entirely in French and the students take part in various programs. The requirement for this dub is the completion of at least one year of French instruction. The German Club's programs arc usually conducted in German. The Mummer's Guild, a dramatics club, gives a play or an auditorium program every year. Each club contributes something to tltc school and makes school a little more enjoyable for the students. Sonic clubs, such as the French Club, German Club, Girls’ Club. M Club. Mummers' Guild. Art Club, Ushers' Club, and a few others, arc older and have been running regularly through the years. Still other clubs crop up. sometimes for just a year, sometimes for good. This year the Usherettes' Club was ‘tarted, and it has served the school well. Mr. Sullivan, chemistry instructor, formed a Science Club, made up of boys interested in informal discussion of scientific problems. Each homeroom in the school has its own homeroom club. Officers arc elected at the beginning of the year, and programs arc planned for Tuesday activity pcriixls. These clubs have helped to support the school events and campaigns. Parties at Christmas and at the end of the year arc planned, and different topics, such as class elections and Student Council proceedings, ate discussed. —Bill Whloeshekg Bill Wolui niii .'« hobby u motor limiting.

On Getting Out of Bed Abad morning lor me (all mornings arc bad for me) always begins around midnight since this is about the tune 1 wander home. When I finally crawl into bed, I lie awake and count slices of bacon (this is much cheaper than lamb chops) jumping into a frying pan. After about ten minutes of this I am hungry, so I get up and get something to cat. After I am stuffed, I return to bed feeling like a balloon; and. therefore, I do not get to sleep for about two hours. Next comes the real torture, trying to get up in time for school and still catch a couple little naps. About seven-thirty the first call comes; 1 roll over and emit an elegant groan or grunt, whichever one happens to come. A few quiet and uneventful minutes float by and all of a sudden there is a violent shaking of the bed. and I sit up and stick my foot out at my mother and wave it. This, she evidently thinks, is a good sign; so she leaves, and I once more return to sleep. Next comes the inevitable, a martial voice threatening me with the time; I have not yet found a remedy for this but I still have hope. If you can help me With this, please do so. Or arc you on my mother's side? —Tom Reynolds Fads and Crazes One cannot miss them m the halls. These fads and fashions and what-not-alls.

Well, no one knows. —Carol Si.iciitam My Dog In the world today, there arc probably thousands upon 1 thousands of dogs, all colors, all breeds, and all dogs. They are. most of them, probably quite happy with no work and lots of jd.iy. and food. There arc a few dogs which arc trained to work, and even these must enjoy their work or they would revolt and there would be no working dogs. There are many breeds of dogs. One of these is a Cocker Spaniel which, by some coincidence or mishap of nature, happens to be the breed of my dog Mike. This seems to be a queer name for such a majestic dog as a Cocker, hut his real name is “Black Michael of Boy, what a name for the runt our dog is! I prefer just plain “Mike, as did the rest of the family, and so did “Mike, even though he didn't know it. Our dog is a four footed, enormous eared, black thing with a hump on his nose and hair on his tail. He has an enormous appetite, but does not seem to grow an inch; however, what he does not grow, be makes up for in lively running and jumping around. I had heard somewhere that a Cocker Spaniel is somewhat of a hunting dog, so I was determined to find out if our dog could live up (o his reputation. He did. He chased everything from a lowly field mouse to an airplane which was roaring around in our vicinity. As a bird dog he was .in utter Hop; anything that moves he chases. 'Hie first stupid thing Mike did was to fly out of our car into the field like a cornet and fall headlong into a three foot drainage ditch. He came up a very saddened and bedraggled dog. with leaves and brambles all over his once beautiful coat. But did that daunt “Black Michael of Franklin ? No! He shook himself with a roar and charged like a galloping knight at a dreadnaught like bee which was buzzing placidly around a flower. The bee kept buzzing around the flower, and the dog kept charging. Say, said Mike finally, “this fellow isn’t any fun and beside she's too small to hurt anything. I had better find something else.

I MARY H.U I ARRKLI. MiVUVl CARYI SCIII.MMINC, the Madison Mirror has juM none through its 18th year • Ol publication, ami it wa quite an eventful year. There were 14,300 copies of the Mirror printed throughout its 12 regular and two extra publications. The two extra publications included an extra Christmas publication and an extra publication for the benefit of the many teachers who gathered here in Madison during the meeting of the Southern Wisconsin Education Association. At that time 1.000 extra copies were printed. Nine hundred ami fifty copies arc printed for regular publications. Mirror Stall members this year ssere: editor-in-chief, Mary Ellen Farrell: news editor, Dan Schaefer; sports editor, Darrell Ryan; feature editor, Eileen O’Neill; fashion editor. Ians Steinackcr; reporters. Dorothy Brown. Virginia Blied, Helen O’Malley, Selma Dewey, Betty Barton, Bob Timmerman, Tom Conway; adviser, Mr. Eugene Schmidt. The business stall consisted of: manger, Caryl Schun-mmg; collectors. Helen Schmelzkopf. Muriel Sorensen, Mary C. O'Connor; advertising start, Mary Vaughn. Marie Lynch: bookkeeper. Shirley Haakentnn; circulation, Isan Barringer, Donald Funk, losephinc Capaci, Eileen F.ggcnbcrgcr; adviser. Miss Ann Hankey. This stall edited all but the last two editions of the Mirror. These two copies were edited by students from the journalism classes while the other stall was getting the magazine ready for publication. 'Hie Mirror Magazine has been published for 18 years, but it has not always had the same name, and it was at one time an annual. Now it is a literary magazine telling in compact form the history of the preceding school year. Centra! is a pioneer in editing an annual magazine of this type- Seniors llte Giti estA, Jamawiaiv r-'R three YEAR the present senior class has attended daises, worked with clubs and organizations. and shared the rcs|VHiMhilities and advantages of sell government of Central I ligh School. They are the finished products of a high sc hi Mil education ilcsigncd for life in a democracy. Their character, leadership, and knowledge will Ik the foundation for our way of life in the future. They are the Citizens of Tomorrow. For the last few months the halls, class rooms, lunch rooms, and other meeting places ot the students have been the scenes of tierce arguments and discussions about graduation. Now tin final arrangements base been completed. The caps and gowns arc to Ik grey and the tkiwer to Ik worn is the rose. The banquet, as well as the dance, will Ik held at the University Memorial Union. The class colors are white and blue. Phyllis Pinkerton is the valedictorian and Henry Rinkc the salutatorian. Now everyone is ready for that all important day. So. on June 13, I'M I. another senior class will pass in review before their families and friends. They will receive their diplomas and thereby close the final chapter in the book of high school education and training. From being part of Central High School, they will become members of that large clan known as alumni. Upon graduating from high school, many will continue I heir education in different colleges and universities. They will dig deep into the particular phase of living that inter csts them most, and in a few years will take their places as business men and women. It is then, when the hardships begin to present themselves, that they will prove they arc worthy of their class motto, Climb, though the rocks Ik rugged.” The class of “ ’41' will Ik remembered as a grand group, willing to cooperate and lend their services wherever needed. Each member of the senior class did his part to make the class one of which to Ik proud; and they have succeeded. As in all groups, some persons stand out from the rest as worthy of special notice. Among the more prominent members of the class is George Torgeson, class president. (Jeorge has made a name for himself ImrIi as a football player ansi basketball player. He has proved himself capable ol quick thinking and acting. In addition to being class president and a star athlete, be is also a member of the Student Council. All of these facts show that he has the trust and respect of his fellow students. Mary Ellen Farrell takes her place in the Orange and Black spotlight for her sense of humor, courage, and |Krscvcrancc. I Irr job as editor-in-chief took a lot of hard work and time outside of school. Mary Ellen has given her time and efforts willingly and has done licr job well. Many students have achieved the honor of being elected to the National Honor Society. The senior class is also taking with them several star football and basketball players who have helped to bring us our football and basketball championships, (icorgc Torgeson, J«k Kennedy, (icorgc I-iuck, Jack Boyle, Joe (iollctti, and John Reda arc a few of the best known. In the operetta. The Pirates of Penzance.” all of the leads except two were taken by seniors. These people named are not the only ones of importance in the class, they arc only a few. Every one is important and has his particular |xirt to perform. And mi as another year ends ami another class departs, we wonder what the future holds for the graduates. Some will become doctors, lawyers, secretaries, nurses, mechanics, anti many other things which arc required to make up a civilization. Some may become world famous: others will remain unknown. But all of them will be doing their best to Ik good citizens. And so, to the class of “ 41“ we say. Good luck anti the Iksi of everything ; you deserve it. —Frances Miller Fusrn Mu 11 . a n iwr. ha btonn hair, (try eyet and it fire frri fonr me her lull.

When the prevent w1k« I wa« built, making more space available. gymnasium classes were begun, being mask coin-im'ivory tor the two lower grasks of hi|{h school. A far-seeing as they were, the school fathers’ vision wav not good etvxigh to enable them to tee the value of athletics. In their estimation, football and baseball were rowdy sports that took the pupils’ minds oil their books and lowered their character ant! that Cost the school monel Isoldes. In spile of the disparagement ot the faculty, athletics ss'ent ahead, and tinally, after several excellent seasons. Use teachers asknoss (edged the worth of school s|iorts and even began to point with pride to their teams. The principal reported tin football in 1905: The team was uniformly successful in its games, but had extreme tliflicuh) in arranging games— a fact to be acetsunted for only by assuming the superiority of our team, In the meantime. an athletic association had been formed, and good management had pulled the schtsol teams’ finances out of the red. One teacher remarked humorously that “a surplus in the treasury has erases! to he the cause tsf any untluc anxiety (1908). Tlie various forms of athletics may not be an aid to scholarship, as some content!. They nuy not be character-building. But if they do neither of these things, they arc still worth while. For dies arc one of the tics that hinds the school together as a unit. They help to instill in the pupil a pride in his school, anti a patriotism and loyalts that arc essential parts in the character of a good citizen in a democracy. They also teach the players the salur ol cooperation and the rules if good sjsirtsmanship, so salujblc in later life. Ac.sin sin St'Bjisni In order that pupils may understand better the problems and difficulties that life presents, and to enable them to meet better these problems and to adjust themselves to our complex society, it hav been deemed wise during the last few years to oiler courses which dealt with social adiustnwnt. The first subject of this type to be established was Problems of Democracy, which was made a part of the school curriculum in 1927. Students in this class karn of the many problems society presents to its members; and by means of discussions, rc|N ns, and special projects, they find how to meet these problems. In order that those pupils who do not plan to go on to school may tibtam the best possible background of our language and its uses, a special Knglish course, known as Reading and Correspondence. was initiated several years ago. This course teaches students the value of reading for rise use of leisure time: it gives them instruction in the essentials of Knglish grammar for more fluent speech. Ii also contains a section dialing with letter-writing of all types, the art of which is a great asset to everyone. Silence may be golden at times. Iwit the ability to speak fluently when the op|mrtumtv presents itself is ruse of the most valuable assets a pervin can j os c«. For this reason, Oral English has been given a yurt in our curriculum. By constant practice ami careful instruction, pupils may readily oscrcomc hesitation anti other speech faults, enabling them not only to get along more easily in society, but to present thesr ideas in an effective manner. The most recent addition to our course id study in this field is the English Appreciations course. Pupils study newspaper , magazines. movies, drama, anti radio thoroughly, ami learn not only to appreciate them, but t- evaluate the worth of the material presented through them. These four are jieobably the greatest instruments for moulding public opinion anti spreading propaganda that we have today; it is good it we can learn how to judge better the saluc of what we sec and hear through them. Oncgtoaiiovi Thetc arc many groups in the school that give valuable aiti in training their members Imvv to live in a democracy. Many clubs ami societies deserve to be mentioned here for their excellent work, but lack of � |h� cc prohibits doing so. There arc. however, three large organizations which, because of the significant services they render, merit some discussion. The Girls’ club, consisting of nearly all the girls in the senior high school, has been an int|iottant part of Central since it was founded in 1925. Its purjiove is to promote fncmlship anti good citizenship aiming the girls of the school.'' The All-Activity Association, or A. A. A., as U is popularly called, is the largest single organization in the school. By cooperating with one another and with school authorities, members of the A. A. A. enjoy more school events at a much lower cost tlian they could formerly. We take pride in being a nation of individuals, but there are many times when it pay well to work with others, as is illustrated by this fine association. One of the most recent innovations in American education iv student government, usually administered through a Student Council, elected by the student body. Central’s Student Council was established in 1937. ant! during its short life has made many worthwhile contributions to our school life- The Council attempts to establish better pupil-teacher relationships: k pi os idee entertainment to occupy the leisure time of students; and it work for a nsoec orderly and well-balanced student life. Those who are ekem! to the Council gain laluabk experience in katlership anil responsibility. Only in a democracy arc people judged on merit alone. Any person, regardless of wealth, race, or religion, has die chance, in a democracy, to go as far as his abilities will let hint, The Central High Honor I’m i this school's recognition of indisidual attainment in scholarship. Centul was the first school in this area to give any stash award, the first little bronze pin being given our twenty-four years ago. The National Honor Society, of which there lias been a chapter in Central for the last eleven yean, goes Miincwh.it farther. It denvandv of i(s members not only scholarship, but character, katkrship, anti service—the cv-sential qualities of grant citizenship.
