The pictures and stories which make up the Mirror Magazine for this year show the various ways in which Central High School aided the war effort. Time, during school, and also quite a bit of time outside of school, was given by students, teachers, and the administration in order to fulfill assigned tasks. The general atmosphere throughout the school this year was one of willing cooperation in the war effort. Final results from all the activities carried on proved that everyone did more than his share of work. The Mirror Magazine Staff gratefully acknowledges assistance received from Mr. Rex L. Licbenberg in photography, from Miss Post anti the Art classes for the cover design, and from the English department for short stories and poems submitted for publication. m Central Cooperates . . hriits past yciir in Central has been characterized by I the definite trend toward defense education. Twenty-three organizations participated in this effort. Many classes made adjustments in method and content. Class schedules were changed in order to allow for new courses. Most of the school clubs and organizations chose a definite defense activity to work on during the year. Machine shop courses were opened to a few of the senior boys, who were given good, solid training in tunning factory machinery. A large number of auditorium programs acquainted students with war time •ubjccts. On home room and office bulletin boards van ous defense posters were placed for all to read. The results of the year's work by tltesc different organizations proved to be very successful. livery branch of the armed service is in need of inathc-tnatically trained men.

Hoys and girls who have an aptitude for mathematics and who. by some chance or another, did not include this course in their program, are being encouraged to carry the subject now. It has been said that approximately five years from now the United States will be desperately in need of engineers and physicists. To qualify for either one of these positions one must have as a foundation, a very thorough training in mathematics. During the second semester of this year the history-classes kept up with all the important developments of the war as they occurred. This was done by studying maps and following the moves made by allied anil axis forces. A special study of Australia's people, products, cities, railroads, and military status was made in com-parivin with |apan's. A very important phase of the defense work lay in the machine shop courses. These special courses were started by the War Production Hoard and were run twenty-four hours a day. Most of the boys were placed in jobs upon graduation. Central boys who took part in these courses were: welding—Ora Cox, Earl Erickson, Dean Heinman, and |oscph Vitale; electricity—Tony (i-rrca l � t) Athltttt pun the gull in the tkilli for Britain protett during the early part of the uhool year, (town 11 it) Onr of the many trin WW of paper contributed by Ceunal at a re tdl of the Undent paper-taring eampugn. 12] Pullara, Russell Sullivan, Eldon Switzky, and Joseph Troia. Dwain Hellcckson anil John Statz worked in the machine shop, and John Del look the mechanical drawing course. Hie best bond that can be made between countries is a familiarity with one another's language. Here in the United States we are trying to cement friendly relations with the 1-atin American countries by making special studies of Latin America, their peoples, geography, and products. At the present time there is a great demand for students able to do commercial work. Secretarial and stenographic helpers arc needed in Federal and State governmental offices. Miss Anne I lankey held a special typing class after school in order to advance further the typing speed of l cttcr students, enabling them to qualify sooner for employment. Muriel Sorensen and Margaret Burdick received the Gregg Award pins for taking shorthand at 140 words per minute. First aid and nutrition information arc valuable in war and in peace time. Central students who took biology were given instruction in these subjects. More than the usual amount of time was spent on diseases that the boys and nurses in service might encounter. The course was instructed by Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, who added the material to her regular biology course. Central teachers studied first aid in classes Sponsored by the Red Cross. The classes in geographic science studied the geographic backgrounds of the war, paying particular attention to I.atin America and the Orient. Central took part in the Dolls for Britain” campaign under Red Cross guidance. The project was sponsored by the Sunshine Committee of the Girls’ Club. Rib bons were awarded to Patricia Godfrey, first; Ruth Marty, second; Irene Schneider, third. Under the lead of Nick Gandolph the football squad made animals and dolls also. Special ribbons were awarded to Nick Gandolph, first; Peter Accardo, second; and Peter Carlson, third. The Red Cross provided scraps of cloth for the project. In December, 1941, the Secretary of Navy asked the United States Commission of Education if the nation's schools could make 500,000 scale-model airplanes to Ik-used for recognition purposes, range estimation, and target practice by our boys in the ranks. The models arc fighters, scouters. fighter bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes. They represent the planes of the United States, England. Canada. Australia, Holland, Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and other nations now in war. Using these models, men in war service will be taught to recognize fifty different tyjies of planes. A certificate put out by the United States government will be given as honorary recognition of excellent work done in model plane construction. Boys taking part were Robert Hansen, Donald Ripp, Chase Taylor. John O'Malley, Peter Carlson, George Miller, Richard McVicar, Richard Huff, Gritton Allin.

Falk stated that the “chance of a Madison school being bombed is probably not as great as the chance for a Madison school to catch fire ; but nevertheless. Central conducted air raid drills during the second semester. Fateh homeroom elected a captain and squad leaders who gave all necessary orders to their gtoups. The Ways and Means Committee of the Cirls’ Club has conducted maga .inc collections for many years in order to earn money for scholarships. Fateh homeroom planned its own methods for getting the magazines, and the Cirls' Club collected them from the homerooms. The goal was set for 1.000 pounds, but over 3,000 |x unds were collected. An opportunity for stutlcnts to discuss controversial issues of the present situation was offered when the Discus sion (3ub was founded during the second semester. At each meeting three students were assigned to give a short talk on a subject such as Propaganda Methods or Better Manufacturing Distribution. The club encourages a better understanding of our government and aims to develop a better anil more intelligent citizenry. The foods classes, too, recognized war conditions in classroom work. Food is prolubly the grratest single factor in getting and maintaining optimum health; therefore, since a well nation is a strong and alert nation, an unusual amount of lime this year was given to the study of the importance of good health, food in relation to health, the building of good food habits, our own responsibility to our country lor learning and practicing good food habits in our present emergency, value of various foods to the liody, substitutions for less nutritious food and for foods which may Ik curtailed, cooking and storing foods to save nutrients, and the growing of gardens in which an abundance of protective fixxls may Ik grown. As a part of the national conservation program, pupils were taught to save electricity, gas, home supplies and equipment. On the office bulletin board throughout the year the requirements for all phases of the armed services have been on display. Campaign material for the buying of war stamps and bonds also appeared. One of the first auditorium programs in the interest of war was a general meeting for all students during which the president’s declaration of war was heard. A pageant of flag constituted another auditorium event. Very early colonial (lags were displayed, and the story of their evolution up until our flag of today was presented by various Central students. Rabbi Ixvinc spoke to us on London Under Bombs, an interesting verbal picture of human feelings in distressing times. At the same lime a talk was given on “War Emergency Opportunities and JXitics. Mr. Howard Danford am! Mr. Ixonard Waehlcr spoke on the subject, What Can I IX)? Otto Schachr. a baritone singer, presented a musical program. He also spoke on the relation of personality to patriotism. University of Wis- m cousin students gave an exhibition of tumbling and showed the values of physical fitness. An interesting aviation talk was presented by Mr. John Hates, a Central graduate who is now a flight instructor at the Municipal Airport. The A Cappeia Choir, under the leadership of Miss Marion Huxtablc. presented an historical pageant of music. Other auditorium programs included the films Man the Enigma, an appreciation of democratic organization, and “Methods of Fighting the Incendiary Bomb. Because ready-made garments will l c limited, anil wool in materials scarce. Central students in their clothing courses were learning construction processes so they will l c able to alter and repair clothing. 'Hie army’s need of materials ordinarily used for supplying civilian wants and the taking over of factories which made clothing created a need lor home sewing. The ninth grade girls spent one-half of a semester learning child care. One hundred and sixty-live Central girls signed up to take care of children in case of a war time emergency. In the tenth grade the girls in the clothing classes made 30 little woolen dresses and 40 women’s woolen skirts for the Red Cross. Twenty-four out of twenty-nine students in the Central Art Club provided the posters needed by the Ordnance Department in requesting rooms for the Mcrrimac workers. The Art Club and the Applied Art Class made stationery portfolios for Wisconsin boys in the ranks who were in lied or hospitalized. All the boys in the Hi-Y club signed up for Civilian Defense. Central’s very successful sale of War Savings stamps was conducted by the Hi-Y. Senior high girls, anxious to take part in I lie war effort, chose to do knitting. Because they were not able to get much yarn from the Red Cross, many of the girls knit afghan squares out of yarn purchased by the school. Five girls knit sweaters to be used in the refugee work; others knitted Army and Navy sweaters. Another successful War Defense task which Central entered was the Paper-Saving Campaign under the leadership of the student council. The idea of saving flat waste paper originated with Miss Amelia Yeager who placed a carton in room 218 in December for the flat waste |u| r from her home room and classes. She mentioned this plan to Miss Annalt Pierce, chairman of the faculty advisers of the student council, suggesting the activity as a school project. The student council seemed to be the organization that should sponsor a general school paper collection. The project was presented to the council and approved and the campaign started in January, 1042. The |unior High student council, in January, asked to join the Senior High in the campaign and as a result the entire school worked on the project. Over 15.825 (khuhIs of paper had been sold l ) the council on the first of May. Miss Florence Morris’ home room, 209, established a record in February with 441 pounds of paper. Later, Miss Theresa Klcinhcinz’s home room, 407, challenged Miss Ann [ungin-gcr’s home room. Home room 407 had 491 pounds and home room 414 had 4.89 pounds from one week’s collection. The committee’s goal was to clear $100 by the end of the year. This sum was to l c used to pay the expenses of both the Senior and the lunior High student councils, to leave a small balance in each council’s treasury, to l c able to invest in at least one Defense Bond for the school, to send a contribution to the Red Cross, anil to support some of the other worthwhile school projects. During the year the council proceeded successfully toward their goal. Members of the paper-saving committee were: Donald Young, chairman, Robert Koch, Jeorge Schiro, Clarence Esser, Claude Moss. John Nania. William Oakey. and William O’Brien. Other boys voluntarily assisted when needed. Library hooks added the second semester pertained to nutrition, Latin America (in the interest of the Ciood Ncighlxir Policy), and the situation m the Pacific Ocean and the Asiatic countries. English courses were changed to include material related to the war and the countries participating. Eleven A and Ten B oral English classes gave programs and topics on Pan-American countries. The Eleven A and Ten A classes wrote themes on South America and our relationships with those countries.

Cooperation pays is the slogan of the All Activity Association; this suggests thriftines on the student's part. If the students are will-ing to cooperate so the association may continue its purpose, they will be the participants in teveral money saving activities. You students probably never stopped to think that, if it weren't for that thin dime you invest every Tuesday, you just wouldn't know who the school's football hero is, who make the most baskets, who blows the horn in the front row of the band, who is Central's Greta Garbo or Lily Pon� , whether that cute sophomore you taw walking down the hall dances or not, who is going with what certain person, or even the senior who graduate. Aren’t you glad you're willing to sacrifice that to-called thin dime every Tuesday? Yes, it certainly is fun for the money, especially when it bn’t to much money cither. Since the All Activity Association is in general a plan for just the Central High School students’ benefit, adults are not admitted by thr A.A.A. ticket . However, in consideration cf the adult intere t in school activities, the A.A.A. ticket hat a fifteen cent exchange value toward the price of an adult ticket when presented at the box office of an event. Although adults are not admitted on A.A.A. tickets in general, the faculty is always cordially invited to participate in the A.A.A. plan and enjoy the full benefits of it membership. This past year of 1941-42 the following pupils were the A.A.A. Homr Room collectors: Beverly Franey, Stanley Rubnitr, Grace Batker, Patricia Westbury, Vernon Heisig, Mildred Martinas, Kathryn Jones, Ann DiPiar o, Mary Catherine Egan, Edna Piquette, Iona Wheelock, Sylvia Bornstein, Constance Roisum, Joyce Ven-den, Loraine Hall, June Fabian, Jeanne I.ippert, Don Syvrud, Betty Hoiberg. and Jean Julson. These pupils did the A.A.A. work necessary in the home room on Tuesday . The following students were on the receiving end in the senior high office to check the payment and do the other work necessary to keep the A.A.A. up to it regular yearly routine. They are: Clara Kaiser, Jeanette Zanoya, Joyce Venden, Frances Moran, Jean Connor, Mary Ychle, Beverly Franey, Mary Jane Maloney, Jane Lester. Helen Schmel kopf, and Delores Linden. The All Activity Association is dserving of congratulation from each and every student, whether you have participated in the benefits it ha to offer or not. To Mr. Rex L. Liebenberg, our assistant principal, go congratulations for helping to guide the All Activity Association so successfully these past ten years in Central High. The Central High School faculty have been some of thr most loyal supporters of the All Activity Association. Year after year they join the huge membership in cooperation with the students. Every pupil enjoy teeing his teachers showing interest in hi activities outside of the class room and books. To see your teacher at a football game give you the feeling that they are fun lovers too, and they can and do enjoy the tame fun you do. Yet. our teacher are just at loyal to Central High School fame, trophies, and accomplishment made here a you are. They're proud to be able to teach fun-loving students, and the A.A.A. helps to make you the fun-loving student . In the accompanying picture are shown the events and enthusiasm sponsored by the All Activity Association, from the home room activities to the cheering bleacher at a football or basketball game, (continued on page ))) The Drifter by Tom Cullen A cloud of coal smoke was slowly settling and 3 few small fires glowed in the thickening dusk as several men slid down the bank from the railroad track. After reaching the bottom of the embankment, they dispersed and walked toward the fires a short distance away. Two of the men stopped near a sandy spot where a bc-whiskered person in rather worn work clothes was warming a large can of some savory food. Good old Mulligan, one of them cried as an expression of delight spread over his features. The man tending the fire looked up, “Howdy, boys, make yourselves at home. I’ve got enough here for three of us, he explained as he glanced appraisingly at the couple. “Thanks, buddy, that’s right sociable of you, replied one of the men. It’s nothin’ at all, mused the man as he stirred up the fire with a slick. “This is my last night on the road so I got no cause to be stingy.” Coin’ into town and get a job? queried the larger and older of the two as he crossed his legs and brushed some of the dust from his ragged clothing. The host nodded his head. “Yep, I intend to. In fact I figure on gettin' rich and settlin’ down if I can make enough Scmolians on the job I aim to get. The younger of the two looked interested at this statement, but after considering it for a moment protested. “That's okay, but if a fella can’t find a job he don't ever gel anywhere. The Mulligan stew was steaming by this time and each produced a spoon from some inside pocket with which to cat. As he moved the can away from the fire, the bewhiskered man muttered rather vaguely, It ain't lack of jobs that’s kept me on the rods for ten years.” The younger of the two visitors seemed a little perplexed, but the older one nodded his head in apparent understanding as he blew on his spoonful of Mulligan to cool it. Noticing that his younger guest was looking intently at him, the man questioned, “Where you from, boy? “Me? replied the young man quickly. “I'm from down around Fort Worth. I just came up to Kansas this summer durin’ harvest season, but I’m finding this a lot of fun riding the freights.” The host interrupted. Take my advice, boy. Get a steady job and get settled. That’s the real life. The older visitor nodded his head in acquiescence and smiled rather hopelessly. In the distance a long drawn out blast from a freight train whistle disturbed the stillness of the night. The men around the various fires noticed the sound and quickened their movements. The acting host spoke to his two companions. You know, I been thinking lately, and I figure that a fella can’t be a bum all his life. When there’s hard times, jobs and grub arc goin' to be pretty scarce. For myself, I aim to get a little ahead. The hissing of the engine as it pulled to a stop at the huge water barrel up the track almost drowned out his words. The two men who had been eating with him prepared to leave. The firelight playing on their faces revealed anticipation and concern. “Well, good luck to you, friend, said the older of the two. Hope you get what you’re after, but we figure on headin' south now that there’s a nip in the air.” The train on the tracks above began to move slowly ahead with loud chugging sounds. It was long and seemed to have a heavy load. The two men waved their hands at the man standing near his fire and then joined the others of their kind clambering up the bank toward the moving train. Getting slowly to his feet the man at the fire seemed to move uncertainly. The freight whistle blew long and short blasts that pierced the surroundings and echoed wicrdly through the night. He shivered. There sure is a nip in the air, and I'll just bet there's (continued on page 35) Betsy Trotwood Versus Automobiles (In Addisonian Style) by Patkicia Goofhey In discussing the many eccentricities of Betsy Trotwood, one of the most obvious to me is her opinions regarding automobiles. She is firmly convinced that the operator of a car is in league with the Devil and the knowledge that the majority of families own cars does not in the least lessen her convictions. Her violent dislike of cars in all probability originated many years ago when the first automobile dared to obstruct Miss Trot wood's view of the ocean from her living-room window by parking on the street in front of her house. Ever after, she has waged a never-ending war upon them. The grounds for her objections arc understandable in a way, however, because the view of the nervous, crinkly ocean and, in contrast, the calm and sentinel-like lighthouse framed by clouds which seem to be bits of high-flung sea foam is, without doubt, inspiring. It is well known, too, that Miss Trotwood will go to any lengths to preserve that scene intact. Any hour of the day or night may find her or one of her servants flying out to the street to ward off trespassing drivers. She never leaves home with- out giving the servants firm warnings to dislodge any car that parks on the forbidden soil. While she is gone, she is continually worrying about the servants’ faithful observance of her wishes. On several occasions, much to the amusement of the townsfolk, she has been known to use outlandish ways of expelling the intruders. Once when an especially persistent young man refused to observe her ultimatum, she let the air out of his tires with all the glee of a youngster on Hallowe'en. It is questionable whether her doing so hurried his departure, but she was satisfied. Another time, she and her maid armed themselves with ominous looking shotguns and stood guard around a car, refusing to allow the driver to get out. Needless to say, the driver was only too glad to move on. It is much to Miss Trotwood’s distress that she will be unable to cope indefinitely with the automobile plague. In her own words, “If I thought it would do a bit of good. I'd will every cent of my money to a watchman to keep those contraptions away from my house, but I know no one would be as careful as I am. Humph! They'll probably build a parking lot across the road after I'm dead. 191 Mirror Publications •. ♦ deflect School Gommunit , Jllje Mw X, 1942, brought to .in end another year ol exciting and successful work for the Mirror Staff. There was a total of fourteen issues; twelve published with the usual four pages, ami two with six pages. Several new features were added to the pa| cr this year. They were: We Hear That, a front page editorial column by Dorothy Brown, and Meet the Editors. a feature page column by Kathleen Kclcny. Another very interesting column added was “Letters to the Editor, in which students wrote their comments on subjects of school interest. An attempt for more complete coverage of all school news was made and students were assigned steady beats” with the various organizations and activities connected with Central. In cooperation with the State Civilian Defense Council, the Mirror released articles ol interest to students during war time. The Scholastic Koto Section. com|x sed of pictures of the happenings in other schools in the nation, was distributed free with every other issue of the Mirror. This year the lunior High Stalf was directly connected with the Senior High Stall instead of being a separate unit completely. The last two issues of the paper experimented with a different layout than the traditional Mirror arrangement. The first twelve issues were edited by the regular stalf, but the last two were undertaken by the Journalism classes. We exchanged | apcrs with seventy-five other schools in Wisconsin along with many from other states, as far as California and Colorado. A change in the staff was made during the first and second semesters. Dorothy Brown, who was the editor during the first semester, took over the work of the Mirror Magazine, lean Cich, head typist, was then appointed editor-in-chief, and Estelle Cr.iry became head typist. The editorial staff consisted of: Editor-in-chief, lean Cich; news editor, Don Syvrud; feature editor, Janice Short; sports editor, Don Schaefer; junior high editor, Audrey Pctzkc; copy editor. Mary Jayne Frankc; exchange editor, Torn Conway. Columnists were: Janice Short, Helen Schmclzkopf, Audrey Pctzkc, Tom Marsh, Dorothy Brown, and Kathleen Kclcny. Sports writers were: Betty Sweet, John Klcinfclter, Ken I lickman. and James Knox. Bill Po|jc contributed a series of excellent cartoons, and Selma Dewey anti loan Porter wrote poems included as regular features on the feature page. Reporters were: Don Syvrud, Elaine Adams. Sylvia Born stein, Betty Sweet. Tom Marsh, Helen Schmclzkopf, Frances Miller, Mary Ann Dosvdle, Kathleen Accardo, Audrey Pctzkc, Mary Jeanne Gannon, lac.pielyn Hanson, and Alice Eicrmann. The typing staff was composed of Gloria Burincistcr, Elaine Feeney, James Snyder, Edna Piquette and Mildred Martinas. Mr. Eugene M. Schmidt rerved us adviser of the editorial staff. Those on the business staff were: Manager. Mary Vauglm; advertising staff, Mary Ellen Stone, Eileen Eggenberger. Catherine Cefalu, Lucille Koch, and Joan Kcsscimh; circulation, Ivan Barringer, Duane Emerson, and Dean Syvrud; adviser. Miss Ann Junginger.

Another successful season ha closed lor the Central dramatics department. Contributing to this year's success were the two plays, Sun Up and “Good Night, Ladies, and an auditorium program which was the Christinas play. Why the Chimes Rang. This year plays were chosen to help in the strengthening of the High School educational program for defense preparation. Hie lull production of Sun Up, written by i.ulla Voll-mcr during the first World War, is centered on the characteristics of education, courage, and loyalty. It is a play which takes |� !acc in the Alvin York country of eastern Tennessee. The weakness of an army deserter is turned into strength when he has a chance to observe the quiet heroism of uneducated people living far from civilization. The play stresses the nobility of humble courage and the dignity of loyalty. Members of the cast included: Muriel Sorensen, Claude Moss, Hilary Meinzer, Donald Syvrud, Ralph Isberner, (icorgc Kell. Edwin Toepclman, (iritton Allin, and Vernon Heisig. The Christmas production was the traditional and popu-lar Why the Chimes Rang. The dramatics department, the choir, and the chorus combined to produce an elaborately staged and effective Christmas pageant Iscforc the stained glass windows which were contributed two years ago by the art department. The cast for the production was chosen from the members of the Mummers' Guild. They were Hetty Studckiker. Ann Froh, Louis Wermclskirchcn, Betty Klein, Ronald Marshall, Arlene Abcrlc, Marie Louise Nodlcr, Frlcne Weinman, Kueben Bottler, Mary Catherine O'Connor, and Chester Kinder. The spring play, Good Night, Ladies, by Edwin S. Day. was a laugh relief in a series of more serious plays. This ridiculous farce has a two male lead, which pre- sents a chance for a part similar to that of Charlie's Aunt.” Honors for this splendid production go to: Mary Jayne Franke, Elaine Adams, Ralph Isberner. Claude Moss, Gene Mocn, Mary Catherine O’Connor. Joyce Venden. !X� n Cronkritc, Jacquelyn Hanson, Audrey I’ctzke, Donald Syvrud, and Joyce 1-eakc. ‘I he one-act play, Jacob Comes Home. produced late in the spring by a senior speech class, for the class, is one that takes place in Nazi Germany. It is a play which has Isccn popular in dramatic contests, and is noteworthy for it sustained suspense and its surprise ending. The cast was made up by Ann Froh, Jean Nyberg, Myrtle Tonn, Hill (ioeden. James Loshek, Ronald Marshall, and Kolx-rt Semrad. Thus the first play of the season stressed courage and loyalty to the country, the second religion, and the third laughter. In addition to these productions. Miss Kentzler's Junior English class presented during an activity period, The History of the American Flag, a record of our flags from the first one ever used in the United States to the Stars and Stripes of today. Flags used were obtained through the courtesy of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This has been the review of the plays which have been presented at (Central this year. Many of you wise will be attending Central next year, would probably l e interested in the “Mummers' Guild. a club which gives students an opportunity to choose whatever work they like to do in dramatics. Membership in the Mummers' Guild” is ojicn to all member of Central Senior High who like dramatics and who wish to participate in the production of our plays.

Shaw Prize Essays Madlian a+i Meantime. by Joan Porter 7esterday I walked again through the streets and around J- the parks of Madison. 1 could not reach every spot; indeed, I only saw its central district; but 1 was struck again with the peculiar beauty of a live city. I went first to our Capitol Park. There, against the background of terrace and dome, lilac and tulip bloomed in a mad frenzy of joy. At the very top of the majestic Capitol building stood the Statue of Liberty, as it has ever since I can remember. It is gilded, and as it caught the Maymorning sun. it threw it back in a million pieces to the windy sky. It has always amazed me that a man could make a statue of a thought, and do it so well that his meaning is apparent to all who see his work. Today, the famous arm of this statue holds high the symbol of Freedom over a whole land. The thought came to me, yesterday as I looked at her, that it wouldn’t surprise me much if one day she should wave her torch, climb down from her pedestal, and rally her followers together in person. But May mornings arc conclusive to such thoughts, and so I smiled a little and left her there. I turned reluctantly away from the new green of the Capitol Park, and traversed State Street to its very end. Bascom Hill lay before me, with Bascom Hall at the top of its green height. Giant elms climbed single file up the hill, each one greener than the last. Under its new blanket of grass, “The Hill has always represented to me a sleeping monster, curled beneath a soft quilt. When I was a very little girl, I was once positive that I had heard him snore; and sometimes, even now, 1 fancy I can see him breathe. Full of old, tile-roofed buildings, our campus fascinates me. Close to Bascom Hall stands the Carillon bell-tower; yesterday its pale stone was almost white against the deep blues and greens of the May day. Then, too, there is the wood that drops from the graceful carillon to the lake. It is full mostly of basswood and oak, and squirrels and chipmunks find it an ideal site. Through its maze of paths, I walked down to the shore, and from thence to the boat-house and on to the Fraternities. These houses, mostly stone, all seem to be trying to outdo one another in style, and beauty, and the result is a complete picture toward which all contribute. Such is our city itself. Lake Mendota was beautiful yesterday. White sails flecked the far water and canoes skimmed in the shallower places. There was even an occasional motorboat, a fact which caused much anxiety to the canoeists. One canoe was even upset by the wake of one of these motors, and the dripping ex-occupants pushed the upside down craft the few feet to the pier. Their disgust was almost amusing. I always like to think of Mendota, not as a lake, but as an ocean cove. I almost feel the breakers on the far side of Picnic Point, and often surprise myself wondering why the wind is not salty. I am always sorry to come home after such a jaunt, but Oust fyousi tyleedotnA by Lons Wermelskirchen America and its allies arc fighting a hard battle on many fronts to save I emocracy ansi the associated Four Freedoms. We arc fighting a battle to enable others to enjoy the same freedom, the same ideals, and the same opportunities that we in America now have and enjoy—freedoms which our forefathers gave to a young, struggling nation over one hundred and fifty years ago. The first of the Four Freedoms is the freedom to worship according to the dictates of one's own conscience. Our going to church plays an important part in America's daily life, and freedom of religion is needed all the more in this time of emergency. It is every citizen's right and duty to attend his church and be in the presence of his Maker. The second of the Four great Freedoms is the freedom of thought and expression. In totalitarian countries, dictators tell the people just what to think and say. Our government, Democracy, is based on the right of each citizen to think and speak his own way. We cannot let this sacred ideal slip from our grasp. Very closely related to freedom of speech is freedom of the press—an ideal held nearest to the heart of thousands upon thousands of newspaper men all over the world—an ideal that in many countries has been unmercifully suppressed. The daily newspaper is America's greatest source of information, and the presentation of all the viewpoints in an impartial way was considered important one hundred and fifty years ago and is more so today. Our fourth and most important freedom is one held by the fewest countries, it is the backbone of Democracy— the right of the people to elect their own leaders. Several countries have a totalitarian government whose power is slowly being checked; some have a king and a congress that represent the people, but very few have a government such that the people elect all their leaders as we have in the United Stales. These four freedoms arc the basic ideals that form the government of the United Slates of America—a Democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. At present, a cloud is in the sky; and we are engaged in a conflict with the totalitarian leaders who seek to break our Democratic ways. Our war is a war to make the world free for freedom—a war to carry on the torch of Freedom through the darkness, that the light of Freedom and Democracy may shine on the world again. there was a Sunday dinner waiting, so I walked back along picturesque Langdon Street. When I reached the top of Pinckney Hill I picked up my heels and ran, as I always do, all the way home. I flopped on our steps for a moment, too tired to climb them, and wondered where in the entire world is there a city half so lovely as ours. 'You Can’t Say We’re Not Trying” by Bill Pope I Ml Phillip Sta k Prrndrnt The Seniors Jleade iA, A t 6usi Wo l P'tOKyiam Croton Aujx Vkt-PrtaJcui The seniors of 1942 leave the school with regret as all graduating classes do. Central High School has faced a situation this year similar to that of 1917. The seniors have lieen leaders in doing their duty in our war effort. In this crisis the seniors have showed patriotism, courage, and ability to shoulder responsibility. When war svas declared by the United States. Central High School wanted to do its part in helping to win. Ilie Hi-Y sold defense stamps; the Student Council Ixrgan a paper saving campaign; a discussion club was organized to trace the developments of the war; air raid drills ami other precautions were taken to safeguard against a jiossiblc bombing attack. These arc just a few of the accomplishments in which the senior class have lieen leaders. Five seniors left school to enlist in the marines. They arc: Jerome Shapiro, Allen Moran, Koliert Ceding, lames Mocn, ami Donald Kocllen. Some of these Ixiys are on the Isattle front right at the present time. Appropriately, red. white, ansi blue were chosen for the class colors ami added to the general patriotic air of the class banquet given at the Lorainc hotel. After class night exercises, there was dancing at the Maple Bluff (Country Club with music by John I uffy and his orchestra. Following class night and the class picnic came the formal graduation in the Central High School auditorium. The seniors wish to thank the faculty and administration for helping them acquire knowledge and also for helping them enjoy these last three years. We also wish to thank the underclassmen for their cooperation throughout this year. Lastly the seniors of 1942 salute the above-mentioned hoys who have dropjxrd from our class to join the armed forces. Cui’DI M'M Srrrrfary-Trrj mrrr KATHLEEN MX SKIN. Auto Or lung.

The Orange and Black team climaxed this season by winning the city title and tying for the Big Bight Championship with Madison East, our greatest rival. Along with this great achievement Central had six of its players on the all-city team. These players were chosen by leading sports authorities for their outstanding play during the football season. The names of the players and their positions are as follow's: Bill Carow, center; Clarence Esser, right tackle; Eddie Mathews, left guard; Lee Sanders, right half; Paul Romano, left half; and Ken Hickman, left end. These boys are but a few of the great football players that have been dcvelojxrtl at Central. Mr. Pollock, Central's football coach, stated: “This year's team, for straight running ability and defensive power, will rate with any team I have ever coached at Central. In my opinion this year's team was remarkable because of the good condition the boys were in. They could stand up under any strain. They didn't know what the word ‘quit’ meant. Of course, we had a few bad nights, but that happens to any team. For instance, the game at Racine Park, which we lost 6-0; those boys were plenty tough, but our boys just weren’t playing up to their old style of ball. A week later they came back to wallop Racine Horlick 20-6 in a field of mud and water. When Horlick scored their lone touch' down we had our third string boys in there anil only by a lucky pass did they score. In the first five games our Central line held all its opponents to 60 yards net gain, of which any coach would be proud. The team this year could have stood up under the pounding of any high school team in the state. The outstanding player for Central and the Big Eight was husky Paul Romano, who, in the seven conference games this year, scored a total of 78 points, or an average of over 11 points per game. Along with this, he and Nick Gandolph were elected co-captains of Central’s immortal eleven. Also lie was selected by Madison sports writers and football officials as the most valuable player in the city and the best halfback in the Big Eight. All of the boys of this eleven deserve (continued on page i?)

This team was one of the greatest teams in Madison in the last two decades. The Orange and Black team was small but scrappy. They won the Big Eight championship, city championship, and the Beaver Dam regional championship, thus proving beyond doubt that they were the champs of southern Wisconsin. “There was no doubt that Dom Schiro ranked as the outstanding player on the squad,” Coach Diehl commented, “but we hit upon five boys with good speed and ability to play the game. They fitted together and thought together as all champions do.” The following boys were letter winners: Warren Colwill, senior, who played reserve forward; Ora Cox, senior, reserve forward; Edwin Hclmicks, senior, all-city second team, regular forward; Nick Gandolph, senior, regular guard, all-city second team, one of the best guards in the conference; Dom Schiro, senior, regular center, all-city first team, all-state first team, one of the Ixrst centers in the state; Clayton Allen, junior, regular forward, all-city second team: Paul Berg, junior, regular guard, all-city first team; Lee Sanders, junior, reserve guard; Peter DiMartino, sophomore, reserve guard. Other boys on the squad were: John Brausen, George Schiro, JefT Quin, Bob Nee, Chris Joseph, Dick Wagner, Dick Springman, Donah! Burwcll, Lafern Opsal, Bob Nelson, Isaiah Carthron, and George Capadona. The Beaver Dam game was outstanding. This team was as strong as any other played. Beaver Dam was taller and heavier than the small boys of Central. Many sjx rts writers picked this team to win the state tournament in mill-season. The squail worked hard because they were slated as a second division team. Coach Diehl had little to work with because of losses by graduation last year. A great deal of the credit for this year’s success in basketball belongs to the coach. Mr. Diehl, as fine a coach as may be found. Prospects for next year’s team look bright with four letter men returning plus many goixl “B” team boys. The boys Central will lose arc: Dom Schiro, Ed Hclmicks, Nick Gandolph, Tom Marsh, Warren Colwill, and Ora Cox. ft? Omcii Duiil Track rPm: 1942 inick season was a successful season lor both Coach Diehl and the members of the squad. This team achieved more than any other Central team by placing second in the conference meet, being Ixaten by Madison West, the state champions. Central did not fare so well in the West Relays, placing seventh with 23 points. In dual meet competition Central won two and lost one. Central lost to the [xmcxful Madison West squad and won from Madison East and Janesville by large scores. Roy Shelton was the only Central boy who placed in the state meet, placing third in the 440 yard dash. Roy was also the leading scorer on the squad. Central placed second in the city meet by losing to West by only five points. Central city champions are: Ed Hel-micks, 440 yard dash; Jim Sticha, mile run; and Roy Shelton, broad jump. I-cading runners arc as follows: Lee Sanders in the 100 yard dash, Roy Shelton and lid Hclmicks in the 440 yard dash. Bob Schara and lien Goodrich in the half-mile, Jim Sticha in the mile run, and Jim Hyslop in the hurdles. Tile following boys won their letters in track: Paul Berg. Bill Carow, Isaiah Carthron, Tom Cullen, Earl Erickson, Clarence Esser, Ben Goodrich, Don Harris. Ed Hclmicks, Jim Hyslop, lax Sanders, Bob Schara, Roy Shelton, Jim Sticha, and Dick Wagner. Tennis 'I'his year’s tennis team proved to lx a typical Central aggregation: Plenty of spirit and will to win, but handicapped in many ways. Two handicaps were the loss of ineligible men and poor practice facilities. 'Hie first match of the year was against East: (Central was shut out by a 6-1 score. Despite the lopsided score the match proved to lx an interesting one, for all the individual players were closely matched; considering that tlx East team had been practicing about three weeks longer than our boys, Central’s play was impressive. (continued on page 36) Golf Prospects arc better for next year’s golf team with the same five first men returning to school. 'Hie golf team this year met with defeat in all of its seven meets. The Orange and Black team ended up in second place because all of the other three city high schools tied for first. The following boys were members of the golf team: Steve Caravcllo, Paul Kinsclla, George Schiro, Pete Accardo, Jack Cirev. Bill Pope, George (continued on page 36) The Central High School Athletic Field Heciemed. xl Reality, hyliia dedication exercises tor Central’ new athletic field, I the (Central High School Field, were held on May X 20, at the field. 'Hie exercises included the grand march, the formal dedicatory ceremony, aiul a program given by the Central gym classes. The grand march from Central to the field began at three o’clock. It was led by the Central band and included gym students, and members of the student body. The formal dedicatory exercises opened with an address by Mr. I.. A. Wnchlcr, principal of Central High School. Mayor James R. Law, Superintendent Philip II. Falk, and Mrs. Edwin Tocpclman, president of the Central P.T.A., were the other speakers. Following the dedicatory program, an exhibit was presented by the Cxntr.il gym classes stressing physical fitness for the war effort. Relay races were run by junior high boys, and sspurc dances were presented by the junior high girls. Individual and dual sports including softball, badminton, vollcyhall, loop tennis, aerial darts, paddle tennis, and various football formations were followed by an interesting dismay in building pyramids by eighth and ninth grade boys and girls. The program ended with a colorful Maypole dance given by the tenth gra le girls. After 50 years of waiting Central finally has a private practice field, the Central High School Field. This field was originally called Reynold’s field. It is 595 feet long and 265 feet wide. It is bounded by Livingston Street, Pater-on Street, Dayton Street, and Mifflin Street. It was purchased exclusively for Central's use and offers convenient access to Breese Stevens field. The field was purchased for $22,500 and improvements, including leveling, sodding, and fencing, raised the value to $10,000. The plans for a shelter house have licen submitted for approval to the Hoard of Education and it is hoped that in the future lour to six tennis courts can be built at the west end of the field. The early Central football teams often practiced under very trying conditions. Some of the first players tell of scrimmages held in the cinders. Vacant lots downtown provided practice fields for the Central team of 1H94. From a vacant lot to the University practice fields, which arc located on the lower campus and at Camp Randall, went the Orange and Black team in the latter part of the I890‘s. Brittingham Park was the scene of practice during the championship football days of loxich Howard Johnson. In the later I92U's ami early 1910‘s, the Central team found itself in a vacant lot again; this time it was the old Burroughs Park. In 1939 Burroughs Park was uied as the site for the new l-iphain school, and the boys had to move again. During the year of 1940 the Lapham playground, a half a block from the new school, svas used by the Central team until residents in the playground vicinity complained that they were annoyed by dust raised from the unsodded ground during football practice and forced the hoys to move again. As a result (continued on page 35) Girls Sports a PluyLical fyit+teAA. Ptexyiatn Strong bodies as well as strong minds arc needed if we expect to win this war. Keeping fit was the work of all the girls who took gym this past year. For many weeks the girls have been keeping fit by learning various exercises to improve fi ot functions, abdominal strength, and endurance in throwing and running. I Icight. weight, and posture have been checked once a month. Good, healthful exercise is essential in everyone's mode of living. That is why the girls were encouraged in all types of athletics. So that too much exercise would not harm the girls. Miss Shepard, director of girls' sports, interwove a pattern of variety. One week the girls would master an exercise, the next was given to playing games, and the third week in the series was devoted to dancing and rhythm exercises. Many of our girls here at Central were not in gym classes; therefore, they had no opportunity for these class exercises. In order to reach all the girls, after-school sports were organized this year. After-school sports consist of all sjxnts of any interest to girl , namely, volleyball, basketball, socccrball, archery, badminton, baseball, and tennis. The first s|x� rt ol the year was volleyball. Enough girls came down to the gym to form four teams, two for sophomores, a junior, and a senior team. The vollcylsall season was successful, with victory going to the junior team. Next came basketball, the favorite of most girls in Central. Before the girls were allowed to join a team, each girl was given a physical examination by the Madison Board of Health. Each girl must be in the Ikm of con dition, for basketball is the most strenuous game the girls play. Girls enough to form four teams showed up. Two teams tied for first place. Socccrball was listed next. Four teams were also organized. Championship was won by a junior team. Baseball, running a close second to basketball in popularity, was the spott scheduled last during the school year. Again four teams were formed. At the time of this writing the juniors arc counting on another victory, although the seniors have hopes. Each girl on a winning team was given an extra 50 points and her numerals lettered with her year of graduation. Sports not included after school, hut during third or sixth period, were tennis, badminton, and archery. All three of these were very successful. Points toward letters were not given, but the girls had loads of fun. Miss Shepard said, This past year has been a good year, considering the few upjxrrclass girls who participated in after-school sports. This was partly due to the girls working after school and taking the place of brothers wIkj arc in the army. Our girls' sports program not only helps us physically, but also socially. It enables us to Ik better winners or losers and to mingle with other [Koplc. It also develops initiative and the habit of knowing what to do with leisure time later in life. Working Together ... 7a Attain Qua Qaali Durinu the activity period on each Wednesday a majority of the student body participates in entertaining and useful activities, Most club meetings alternate; some arc on the lirsi and third Wednesdays of the month; others on the second and fourth. Other clubs or organizations meet every other Monday or perhaps every other Thursday. Qualifications for membership differ; some organizations require election of members by the students; others require a language other than English to Ixr spoken, and so on. Purposes of these activities vary also. One purpose is to educate the student further or to cover additional material which otherwise cannot be discussed in class. Some clubs aid in carrying on school projects such as dances, plays, anti auditorium programs. Other organizations played a definite part in our school's defense program, undertaking paper saving campaigns, magazine collections, or the wiling of War Stamps. A summary of the general achievements of these activities is found in the following paragraphs. Members of the National Honor Society arc elected by the faculty on the basis of Leadership, Scholarship, Character anti Service. A girl member of this society serves as chairman of the Candy Counter Committee. A share of the profits from the sale of candy goes to the Honor Society, which uses this money in a scholarship fund. As an aid to national defense, the Student Council conducted a very successful pajxrr saving campaign. This organization also established a code of rules as an aid in the maintenance of proper conduct during study jicriods, |x n-sored the presentation of Romance in Old Mexico,” ami also sponsored a number of dances which were Ivcld in the school gymnasium. 'Hie Usherettes, with Mr. Rex L. Ljcbciil crg as adviser, have l ccn ushering for the P.T.A. parties, evening school dances, and the auditorium programs. They helped in the sugar rationing program, which was their part in our war work. 'Hie second annual Variety Show was belt! to furnish the money for uniforms. The girls have had to sacrifice their uniforms, because the company is busy filling war orders. The Girls' Club, divided into separate committees, has done commendable work again this year. The Social Committee sponsored two parties during the year. The Ways and Means committee collected paper lor defense, giving part of the money for scholarships. Our auditorium pro grams were sponsored by the Candy Counter and the Ways and Means committees. Central's l«o$t and Found department was eared for by the Sunshine Committee. They also made Red Cross toys. The halls were decorated at Christmas by tin- G.C. Clinic. The Hospitality Committee placed girls in the hall to direct strangers to the office. The Program Committee brought us the programs on Safety, Vocational Guidance, and the installation of Girls’ Club officers. The Girls’ Literary Guild is under the leadership of Miss lulia Tormey. A booklet was collected by the club members this year containing originial poems and essays. Several parties were sponsored by the guild. Members of the 'M Club staged a Minstrel Show on the 8th of May. The proceeds were used to pay medical fees for injuries not covered by athletic insurance. The “M winners ushered at the P.T.A. card party, also sponsored a Student Body Courtesy Week. Members spoke on this subject in the various home rooms. The M Club stands solidly behind all athletic activities at Central. 'Hie Knitting Club, newly formed this year, has knit a variety of garments for the fighting men of our nation. Tito Art Club designed and made stationery folders lor the members of the armed forces. They assisted in designing and constructing scenery and settings for the dramatic and musical productions staged throughout the year. Miss Rosa Pope’s French Club studied and practices! mainly the purpose of the club: to instruct, entertain, and enlarge upon the scope of the classroom. The Mummers’ Guild was directed by Miss Ruth Kentz-ler in its dramatic work. 'Hie club presented the Christmas play, Why the Chimes Rang, and gave help in presenting other plays. The Hi-Y Club aided in the promotion of national defense by operating a stand for the sale of defense stamps and sponsored a dance, the proceeds of which went to the Prisoners of War fund. Movies and lectures on the war were given and a meeting was held at which ways and means of obtaining a permanent (continued on page 28) NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY host row: William Pope, Louii Wcfmrlikirchcn, Dorothy Miller, Betty Hoiberg, Patricia Godfrey, tarn Weminger, Nick Gandolph, Donald Syvnnl. icciinu row: France l.rwii, Jeanne Gaffney, Gritton Allin, president, fame llydop, Clarence fate , Thoma� Cullen, IKmalil Kirk|utr:ck, Margaret Burdick, tetreldty, Muriel Sou-men. |28] STUDENT COUNCIL ihost ainvi Arlene Severvon, Clara Kancr.

(eontinned front page 22) more praise than anyone can give them because they had what it took to make themselves champions. When asked about the chances for next year, Coach Pollock remarked. “I never like to give predictions as to chance and possibilities for a following year. After all. a school the size of Central can't be expected to turn out a winning team every year. One year you might have a heavy team with a ground attack like this year, then again you might have a light tram with a good aerial attack. If all the boys l‘m counting on come back next year, I think we will have a pretty fair team, especially in the line. Next year, if everything works out right, I plan on having the team play a more open game of ball with more passing. In the five years that Coach Pollock has been the head of football at Central, only one team has beaten Central by more than one touchiiown and that team was Madison West in the year of '39. That's also a record to be proud of. The score of the game was 20-6 and playing in that game were such stars as Jack Derr, now in the United States Navy, and Teddy Scallisi, whose remarkable playing at Ripon College this year is destined to make him the best all around athlete that Ripon has ever had. Those two boys are a few of the recent great stars from Central: but if you had been living back in the late 1890's you would have really seen some stars. Going back two-score and c:ght years ago, many of you might have heard of the famous Central team that won the United States title. On that team were such well known players at Pete Anderson, the powerful Negro. Duffy Rowe, Art Curtis, now a famous fshysician in Chicago, Curly Newman, Matt Conlin, Joe Dean. Earl Schrieber, and Dr. Krinan. Their equipment consisted of a pair of pants (the only padding being horse hair, which they had to sew in themselves). They also had small pads for the hips and shin guards. If they happened to get hurt, they footed the doctor bills themselves. There were only eleven men out for football, so nobody could afford to get hurt. For their shower after practice or a game they had another teammate throw buckets of water on them while they stood by a small stove to keep warm. But these things have changed: now the teams have nice warm shower rooms, locker rooms, many more pads; and insurance takes care of the injuries. Maybe these boys a long time ago were bigger and maybe rougher and tougher”; but Central still has its champions in this day and age. FUN, for the Money . . .

Ami the train continued to move, its steadily increasing dickcty-clack as it sped along caused feelings of loneliness and coldness to creep over him, and he moved forward quickly. When he reached the top of the embankment, he hesitated until a long compelling blast from the engine down the line removed any thought of l.ngcring. With a last backward glance he quickly grabbed a hold on an iron ladder of one of the passing cars and ssvung nimbly aboard the moving train. Gradually gathering momenrum and periodically screaming its wild chants, the long freight moves! to the south leaving in a short while only the crickets to chirp their continual conversations in the stillness of the hobo jungle.

Alarm Clocks by Phil Stephf.nksv Of all the enemies to the human race, the alarm clock has probably attacked more people, more times than any other beast. There is no bounty put on this terror, no price on its head. But, instead it is allowed to roam wherever and whenever it pleases. This coward sneaks up in the night ami strikes when its victim is asleep, and least expects anything. I can remember many a time when I have been sleeping peaceably in the middle of the night only to be awakened by a long and loud clanging noise, to find the face of the clock smiling at me and informing me that it is 7 a.m.. time to climb out of dream land into reality. It is then that I get the urge to kill, to take this menace and fling it far off into space, where its loud alaim will bother no one again. WATCHES DIAMONDS FINE WATCH REPAIRING Glenn C.
