April 22 and 23 marked one of the outstanding school events of 1931. This was in the for':-, of a school exhibit combined with the two one-act plays given by the ninth grade. Tho exhibit consisted of displays of all typos of class room work and articles made by the manual training and domestic science department. The one-act play3 were under the direction of Miss Isabelle Stump. The music by the Boys1 and Girls Glee Clubs and the numbers by the sc orchestra were directed by Mr. Hamer Mitchell.

Walter Haldoman. Queen Pepperella Cayenne, whose pov cr is maintained through a magic pepper shaker, has overcome Prince Glorious and imprisoned him in the clock as a mouse. His release by his fiance, Bellamario, who plots with Daffodil, a jester, brings a fitting ending to the play. Lot’s Move the Furnituro The plot of this story is based on the difficulties that a woman collector of antiques has with a husband who enjoys comfortable furniture. The husband plots to have two burglars steal tho furnituro while the summer home is closed for the winter months. The untimely appearance of the daughter and her fiance, and later of the husband and wife complicates matters somewhat. The whole situation is cleared in a satis- fying manner. : irst Burglar, Philip Pheasant; Gocond Burglar, Gerald Seckel; Gladys, C Lee Webster; Mr. DeVoe, Gladys father, John Wornor; Mrs. DcVoo, Imogone Russell, Reginald, Gladys’ fiance, Ronnix Van 8coy. Tho operetta, The Tea House of Sing I.o, given by eighth grade pupils, March 11 and lb, v ?as one of the most colorful entertainments ever p d itrr.1. Although this operetta is a difficult one even for an older , everybody agreed that ir solo numbers, chorus, num- bers, speaking parts, sconic effects and costumes this was well above what could be expected from an eighth grade group. The solo :jid chorus numbers v ore under the super- vision of ell; the speaking parts were directed by Miss Stump. The production committee consisted of Mark Baker, Stage Mgr.; Hazel Hochstetter, properties; Beatrice .'.'ilson, costumes; 0. C. Ice, electrician; Anna Parks, special effects; E. «;. Beer and Grace Colvin, scenery. The entire scene of the operetta i3 laid in the tea house of Sing Lo. His dislike for modern advertising, in spite of the poor business of his tea house, furnishes the major part of the theme. Bert McKee, an electric sign sales- man is mistaken by Sing Lo for the new American consul. He takes advantage of his mistaken identity and sells the tea house owner a sign. Previous to this McKee had made a bargain with J. Mortimer Maxwell that if he could sell Sing Lo the idea of modern advertising, the marriage between Bert and Max- well 1s daughter, June, would promptly be celebrated.

Whitcum deserves to be congratulated on his ability to lead his team thru a difficult but successful season. Before the practice had gone far Maurie became the mainstay in the team’s of- fensive. and defensive tactics. In his play Maurie” combines a great deal of native ability with a certain individual technique that is hard to describe. He has an excellent shooting-eye and when he is on one of his numerous hot-spots the score keeper might just as well place an x after his name. Maurice was high point man for the season. His total for the fourteen games was 155, an aver ge of over eleven points a game. JOE CASTNER--Joe was the only representative of the eighth grade on the first team. Ail thru the season he played a steady game which, at times, became very spectacular. Undoubtedly his best game this season was the one played at Crestline. After the Central team had lost two players by excessive personal fouls, iu was Joe’s snappy floor work that pulled the team slump which almost co Joe should develop into a valuable player next season. DONALD PIATT--Probably no other member of the squad put as much enthusiasm and zest in his playing as Pinkie Piatt. Regardless of whom he was matched against, Pinkie always played his opponent an even game. Since most of our offensive plays were centered around o ;r oivot man, a great deal of the team's success depended upon how efficiently that position was played. One thing that Pinkei will long be remembered for is his sportsman-like attitude while on the floor. Pinkie always recognizes the rights of others, and is usually one of the first to congratulate a victorious opposing team for its success. GEORGE MASON-- Scrooge did some very commendable work as running-guard. During the greater part of the season he was able not only to hold an opponent to a few points but al to count for a few himself. He was responsible for many of the turnovers our team depended on to win the majority of our games. His knack of recovering the ball from the opponent's backboard and of gaining its possession in s was invaluable to the success of the season. GSNii HUDSON—Without doubt it is true thut of' the entire squad, Gene advanced farthest during the season as far a? his individual playing is cone Although his progress, at first, was slow, it was steady; and by the time we wore half way thru our schedule. Gene was playing a regular guard position and was doing it well. As a back-guard he seldom ventured into offensive territory except for quick le-in shots. However, from this position ho made some counters that helped the team immensely in certain critical points or the games. DONALD QUA I NT .;.CE—Donald proved valuable both as a regular arc a reserve. His guarding was very effective especially since it was combined with individual floor tactics w lich enabled him to maintain possession of the ball under practically any pi conditions. He had a faculty for picking the right fellow to pass to. No matter under what circumstances Donald wus placed in a game, he could always be depended on ve his best. MELVIN GRIi-'ETTT--Me!vin is another pJayer who has developed a great deal during the year. Before the season had ended he became a very accurate shot especially from short range• Although he did not play ?s a regular all the time, no helped immensoly as a res enter. VIRGIL JOHN?ON— Virg v as one of the snappiest little for- wards we had on the squad. His accurate s looting from along the side lines gave our opponents plenty to worry about while he was in the garno. Ho saw action in practically all of our games and came thru reral counters when our team needed them badly. Virg should develop into a valuable player for the Hardin- squad in a season or two. ROBERT MASON-- Bob11 is ore of the two eighth grade players to receive his letter this year. He has a great deal of ability as a defensive player and next year should ard us junior high schools crofuce. We feel rather ui ate, though, that Bob” will probably not be available for the Central 3cuad as lives in the district of the new Oakland building. JAMES MARTIN— Jim” ha.d a streak of bad luck that prevented him from making his letter this year. During the part of the season where most cf the substitutes wore gain- ing for themselves several playing-quarters, Jim was ineligible. By the time he was again eligible we were in a portion of our schedule where substitutions by necessity were few. Nevertheless Jim” played good basket ball and has a chance to go farther with it next year. HARRY WELLER— Happy did more toward keeping the team in good spirits than any other player on the squad. He is an expellent player and has that additional asset which many players lack—a good nature. V e wish there were more like him in Central. Although he did not make his letter this year, he should bo one of the leaders of the squad next yeafc. JUNIOR DANNER—Junior proved himself an accurate shot and a good floor man. He is one of the throe eighth grade players v ho will form the nucleus for the Central team in 1S39. JOE SC iRCH-- Joe was one of the most efficient managers we have ever had. Instead of waiting for the coll for managers to ccmc, Joe volunteered his services. He displayed so much ability as a manager that there was not a question about his election by the squad later on. Hi.3 services extended all the way from tending minor injurios to stopping the game at Mansfield when the official scorers failed to notify the referee about the four personal fouls a Mnnsfiold player had boon charged with. Joe also became famous as an assembly speaker. We hope this will not bo his lust job as manager of an athletic team. SCORE KEEPER? AND TIME KEEPERS Our scoring and time keenirg were efficiently and accurately done by Joe 'illiamson and John Warner. All of our home games were handled by John Gillis, a formor alumnus of this school. TM 'it the end of the scoring for Whitcum led ? 5—Central vs Alumni—at homo. The opening game with the Alumni ran true to tradition- tho7 won. it was tho samo story of a groen, inexpert ienced to am unable to cope with a grour. r-.i rye s who h.-d the advantage of having played together a season. The Central team showed themselves strong offensively but pitifully weak defensively. At tho hull the score stood 23 to 7 with the Alumni ahead and the game, 50 to 23. St or2 c rnd Here led the Alumni with 27 points between them, for Central wl total of nino. December 12—Central vs Sparton Torch Club—at home. Central1s second defeat was at the hands of the Sparton Torch Club, a team composed of Harding High School juniors. The three years this toom had played together gave them . decided advantage. Fred , later a Harding 3tnr and winner of the Control Ohio foul-shoot- ing contest, led his team to a 35-lb victory. December 19—Central vs Faculty—at home. The Central-Faculty contest will be one of the long remembered games of the season. Before the contest there was a groat deal of speculation as to the culty team. This was probably due to the formidabxe 3ize of some of the newer members of the faculty and tho secret practices that were held before the game The neophytes had a 30 to 15 at tile half At tho end of une each team added 23 points to its score making n total of Central and 39 for the Faculty. Evans, Faculty center, made 24 points while Whitcum was able to eke out a paltry 19 j or his team. The Faculty team was composed of Acss'rs Baker, Gabler, Orcutt, Evans, Mitchell' Allen and Ice. January 9—Central V3 John Simpson—at Mansfield. Whenever Central and Mansfield meet on the hardwood, it is certain that there will be a spirited battle tho six games that the two schools have played each other there has been an average difference of four ro • hi them. Although Central was beaten by ten points in her first contest with Mansiiold this year, tho game was more exciting than the score would indicate. Mansfield, : advantage had 53 for Jester nnd Zodiker, piled up a total of 28 points duri the first ha]f while Central had difficulty in collect Although the boys in green began the second half with a 14 point disadvantage, they put ud a deter mined fight and succeeded in outscoring the Mansfield tear: t four points in the last framo. The game ended 42 to 32. The high scorers for the game were Jester , Zediker 12, Whitcum 12, and G. Mason 7. January 13--Contr I vj Bucyrus H. S • Reserves--at Bucyrus. Thi3 game was a preliminary to the Harding-Bucerus contest. From the first it was evident that Central woulc- bo unable to overcome the advantage that the Bucyrus team had in height, weight and playing exper- ience. The game was one of the poorest played by our to am. The score at the half was 10 to 1 7 in favor of Bucyrus, and at the end of the game, 30 to 18 their way. ’flitcum again scored 12 points. January 23--Contral vs Vernon—at Vernon. This, game marked the turning-point in our season. Up to this time the squad had U3cd an individual stylo of defense; but, to cope with the long, narrow floor at Vernon they shifted to a zone defense. This proved so effective that it was used in every game that was to follow. Although Vernon led at the end of the first and second quarters by one point, the Central outfit by strong defensive tactics was able to hold yernon to but one free throw in the third quarter and to add enough points to make the score 18 to 8 in Central' favor. In the last quarter Vernon added one free throw and one field goal while Central was making enough to Bun the final score 24 to 11. John Vestal was the main stay in the Vernon loam. Whitcum mode his usual 12 points; astner was next with six. January 30—Central vs Crestline H.S. Reserves—at homo. 2.3 the first year Central has scheduled gamed with the Crostlin rves. The boy3 went into the game with a great deal of apprehension, since little was known of the boom's strength and, from the size °- ho players, it seemed that the team was up against a stiff proposition. However, when at the half the score 3tood 2C to 4 our way, the reserve team was still maintained a safe margin with a scoro of 33 to 14. The Crestline follows displayed g- od soorts- ship even thor n they lost the gone. We hone our oti relationship with their school may continue. What a combination. And it was an unlucky day—for Mansfield. Everybody agreed that it was at this game that Cent al displayed her beat brand of basket Winning this game meant more than winning any other on our schedule. In the first quarter Central put up a defense that vas not penetrated once by the Mansfield too:i• The scoro was 5 to 0, Cor.tr favor. During the second quarter, however, Mansfield opened a pivot play that ur defense seemed unable to stop. The score at the half was 10 to 8, Mansfield favor. The ' quarter i - in gave us a load, this time 16 to 12. During the last quarter the scores ' ere seldom over two points apart. With three minutes to play and a load of 18 to 21, Central Called tine out rnd attempted a stall. The Mansfield dofonse c:-mo out to break it up and e scored another basket, our last. In the last few minutes of play, Mansfield began a long-shot attack which netted th � and all but won the game. Tile final whistle blew with Central or.e point ahead, scoro 23 to 22. Of the six games wo have played John Simpson, Contrai has won two—each by a one point margin. Each year it seems that Central must havo one jinx-game. Our second gone with Crestline fulfilled that tradition this year. Probably the v holo thing started when the boys found that in transferring our equipment from one car to another, the new suits had boon loft on .a side- walk in Marion. Tnc team went on the floor dressed in second term! j .. . with pants borrowed from the Crest- line playors. During tho game, as rofereo Mackey of O.S.U. express d it, Everything happened but a fire.” Both guards loft the game on personal fouls. For the first time during the season Whitcum was off. al- though the playing conditions were most ideal February 13—Central vs Mansfield—at home.

After several changes in dates this game v rs played in tho afternoon at tho Cardington H.S. gymnasium, the half wo led 21 to 6. Sinc tho toam had mother hard game only three days away the second stringers played most of tho second half. The game ended with Central loading 51 to 18. February 20—Central vs Bucyrus H.S. Reserves—at home. The second Central-Bucyrus contest was a nip and tuck ■ -3-r fror tho beginning. The score at the ond of the first half was 15 to 16, with Central leading. Lrd quarter ended 25 all. In tho last quarter tho Central outfit, handicapped in both weight and allowed the Bucyrus aggregation to run the score to 32 to 27v Piatt and Whitcum made 18 points between thorn, while Ross and Hay os -account ad for a total of 20.

At the ond Central led 17 to 15. All _ glory in this game goes to a Vernon player, Johnnie Vestal. As Whitcuir: s guard ho not only hold the latter to five points, but was ablo to score a total of six himself. We want to congratulate the entiro Vernon team for a well-played game. March 15—Central vs Cardington--at homo. Tho second Friday the thirteenth marked for Central a rather unexpected defeat. Although our game was defin- itely scheduled with the Cardington H. S. Reserves, vc played a toam that came nearer to representing their v rsity. Of tho seven boys who plnyod for them all but two were first-string players. At first we decided not to play the game, but because of the spectators v ho were already in the building we went ahead with it. At tho half wo lod 11 to 10 but in tho third quarter Cardington piled up a lead and maint ined it. Tho game ended 24 to 19 in favor of the visiting team. Whitcum made 14 of tho points scored by Central. March 24—Contr 1 vs Vernon Hoights—Y.M.C.A. Tournament In the annual Y.LI.C.A. Tournament we onterod class C which includes boys up to 16 years of age. Be- cause of the ago limit, Piatt was unable to ploy. Since wc drew a byo it was necessary to play only one game—the winner of tho Vernon-! Valdo contest'. Although Vestal and Ruhl v crc unable to play because of tho ago limit Vernon had no difficulty in beating Waldo; so for the third timo in one season ve mot this term. Again Central met a long-shot attack which this time gave Vernon c. 13 to 8 lead at the half. Central was badly out of form from two weeks inactivity. In tho last half Contrai was more suc- cessful. Vernon again was held scoroloss except for two free-throws• Tho game ended 19 to 15 in Central s favor. May of Vernon and Whitcum of Central each scored eight points for their respective toams.

And no lover of animals will dispute with Sen-.tor Howe on that. Homeless and hungry, shivering from cold on a night back in 1888, a dog crept into tho post office of Albany, N.Y. The clerks v cro busy in the office and did not notice tho newcomer. Exhausted the dog lay down and fell asleep upon a bundle mail The next morning the clerks found him. Thoy felt sorry for him and could not drivo him out into the cold: he had an appealing look in his eyes and a friendly wag of his tail, which ondoarod him to tho postal employees. When lunch hour came tho men v7ould all share their lunches with him. It was this that started their love and attachment for tho dog. As woeks passed tho dog made his home at tho post office. No one camo tc claim him. So he was adopt tho ostal clorks and given the Owncy. Now Owncy was a vory smart dog. Ho would watch the mail bags and bo gone for several wooks. But ho always came back to Albany. The clorks thought he might got lost and so bought a collar for him ■ nd placed upon it his name and address. As ho traveled up end dov n tho country in rar.il errs, to his collar was attached, tags, modais, etc, representing nearly every state in the Union, After a trip to Mexico ho came back with a silver dollar attr.c led to him.

Finally the tags attached to Ownoy s harness wore removed and sent back tc Albany, where tho souvenirs v ero placed in a glass caso with a photo of the dog.

Well, I'm certainly glad, much as I, |did hate to leave dear old Philddelphia, and I suppose that it� s for the best for father r ys that it is. I, Molly Livingston, don� t think so, but of course chat doesn't matter. Daddy is outside the stage coach riding Turk, and brother Hal is riding my Pony, Peggy. We have to go clear to Son Francisco for father says that it it the safest place for us during the civil war. I know that it would be so much fun if I were riding a horse but father says, No”, and mother and Aunt Jane- lifted their hands in despair, horror, and everything dreadful; so here I am, cooped up in a stage coach with metric- . Aunt Jane, Surah, my dutiful sister, and Martha, a horrid old -thing who does our cooking SSVEi.fll DaY; As I feared the coach has broken down. Mother, Aunt Jane, Martha, ar.d Sarah are stayftng at a little settlement in one of the valleys. But joy ‘Father has finally consented that I go with him, Hal, and the drIvor, TENTH DAY: Tomorrow we go through Danger Pass , where the Indians lurk. I am having a gorgeous time and everybody treats me just as if I were a bov. ELEVENTH DAY: I've so much to tell you and I'm still shaking from this morning. We entered Danger Pass this morning and at noon we stepped. I went up on a ledge where the coach driver was getting lunch. The horses were up there, too. I'd just been up there a little while when I hoard a terrible noise. Upon looking down, cautiously, I sar father, Hal, the coach driver, and Indians. Daddy and the coach driver were ageist the rock; Hal, with an arrow through hia log, ms iving beside them, All three were holding their guns. There were at least thirty-five Indians. I didn't know to do so I did the first thing that 1 thought of. I remembered that Indians were supers!!tlous so I threw a rock down and said solemnly, 'The u - t Spirit .-j oo eth, 0 Indians. Hear ye. Hear ye. Trouble no the whit ' : in, depart ye before I send ye no water to quench yo thirst and tho thirst of your crops. I don't suppose that they knew what I sr.id, but it worked. They did run. Fester than Hal ran when he won the running race. Hal, father and the coach driver hav been pralsinf mo ever since. Well, here wo are in San Francisco and I knew that I'm going to love it, We are having a lonely time and I am having my flihg while I may, because lother and Aunt Jane arrive week after next—the only fly in my ointment.
