CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR The Faculty To us, the graduates one of our saddest partings will be to the faculty. Without their help our past years here at Central would be meaningless. They have been our patient confidents, our ‘‘school mothers’’. Our successes, our failures, our joys, our sorrows, were all theirs as much as ours. The many times that we were in the wrong were forgotten by them as one small right was accomplished. To them the entire senior class express thanks from the bottom of their hearts. In the coming years the faculty’s place in our Central. memories will be the highest, and their consideration; cooperation, and companionship will never be forgotten. “é Miss Cohen— How can we thank Miss Cohen, our class advisor, for the time and effort she has given us? What is in our hearts toward her is unable to be spoken. She has been the person to whom we have brought our “senior troubles” all year. Her patience and understanding will always be remembered by us. Mr. Hawke— Mr. Hawke has worked untiringly these past months for the seniors. Even if our voices were extra bad some days, even if we were extra bad, Mr. Hawke still worked on. We are indeed appreciative and grateful to him, and his help deserves more thanks than we can ever give.

CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR Class History Wide-eyed, gaping, green, three hundred and fifty lost individuals stood in the hal- lowed corridors of Central High three years ago, and wondered why they, so recently graduates, would be feeling so pitifully small and unimportant. That embarrassed group of freshmen was none other than the illus- trious Senior Class of 1939! A change of attitude came over those seared freshmen after the first few weeks; they began to feel their oats, began to learn the tricks of the trade, and it wasn’t long before they knew what the score was. Why shouldn’t they catch on quickly — weren’t they going to be the best class ever to gradu- ate from Central High? Now they knew the ropes. Now they were infinitely more important. Wasn’t one of their own number an indispensable member of the football team? Weren’t two of their fellow-classmates officers of the student gov- ernment? Weren’t they all busy presiding at club meetings, participating in tourna- ments, taking an active and important place in school affairs? Weren’t they to be seniors - the very next year—the graduating class of 1939? They were the body of the school. They were the class in the middle—with one behind to push, and one ahead to pull. They looked with pity and understanding on the lowly freshmen; they looked with tolerance and secret and envy on the senior class, who had ceased to be revered deity, and had mira- culously been transformed into some of their most intimate friends. With the close of school that junior year, the class of 1939 was exalted, sensing the excitement of the heavy responsibility that would rest on their cap- able shoulders the followmg year. Busy, important, respected, three hundred and fifty eonfident upper-classmen rush through the well-known halls of Central High and wonder why they should be feeling sor- rowful and reluctant to say farewell. They may not be aware of it, but there is a reason for their feeling of sadness—there are many reasons, not the least of which is the enjoyment of the last three years to- gether. Playing, laughing, cheering, cram- ming, picknicking, the Senior class of 1939 has spent three very busy, full years. In- teresting years and important years they were, too—years of maturing friendship, years of good companionship, years spent with those who had something in common with them and who were able better than anyone else to understand their victories and defeats as they were experiencing the same triumphs and downfalls. The day of glory came—the class of 739 were Seniors! The rosy light of the prim- rose path led them to the middle of the year. The joys of football games, Christmas holi- days, and elections were past. The process of graduation and all that it entails was ahead. There were rings to select, invita- tions to order, caps and gowns to be meas- ured for. Hvery day brought more things to do than there was time in which to do them. Committees to meet, fees to collect, colleges to be decided upon, pictures to be taken, examinations to study for—for these left very little time for lighter matters. They did manage to squeeze in that hilarious dress- upday, and an afternoon of dancing, and it was generally agreed that these events were definitely worth the effort. Now all the excitement is over; there’s no hurry, no-rush, and the hardest thing to bear is that fact that the class of ’89 are no longer Seniors. They are freshmen again—fresh- men if they continue their studies in college, freshmen if they go to work, and above all, freshmen in the school of experience. 19 So the class of 739 has come and gone, and their history lies in the annals of Central’s records. —HELLEN COHEN Page Seven SENIOR EDITION® 1939 Class Officers BOB) McRAE® 2.2.00 2p.

Can anyone think of a life any tougher? Lessons as usual get in our hair, Along with the other things we must bear, Such as class meetings taking away our spare time, And class fees demanding our very last dime, Speeches on why we should go to college, When it’s hard enough to get this wee knowl- edge, Having to sit and ‘‘smile at the birdie,’’ Which makes you feel like a monk with a gurdy, Since you know that your picture will never please you, And all your friends are sure to tease you. And constant urgings to get an ad, Or else, S. L.’s ‘‘It’ll be just too bad.’’ But the hardest thing of all for me Is trying to keep my voice on key And follow the melody’s intricate strain Without causing Mr. Hawke too much pain! With all these troubles on my mind, Is it any wonder I fall behind, And on my innocent head call do wn The awful doom of a teacher’s frown, For having forgotten to read that play, Or hand in my report on that certain day. Oh me, wouldn’t being a senior be fun, If we weren’t buried under a ton Of other worries, work, and woe That keep our poor brains on the go? Yet, on the whole, I cannot say That I didn’t enjoy class dress-up day. And it was fun in the halls strutting by Freshies and sophomores, those small fry. And maybe class meetings weren’t so dull; Page Twenty-cight At least we managed to keep them quite full, If not with business, then with noise Causing Miss Cohen to use her poise, And Bob to yell his poor throat hoarse— Ah, now’s the time to feel remorse! Now’s the time, this very minute, To cherish the gaiety we well may covet, When we are out in the world on our own, And life takes on a more serious tone. Oh, we may grumble and we may pout; 3ut let there not be a shadow of doubt That we’ll feel blue when we leave this year, And many of us will shed a tear When we say good-by to those happy hours In this dearly beloved school of ours. Oh Central, though now we must say farewell, What words can we find that will truly tell How much we have learned, how much we have gained, From the lofty standards you’ve always Maintained, From teachers’ efforts to teach us the things That will help us meet whatever life brings, From the friendships we’ve formed and the training we’ve had In strengthening the good and uprooting the bad, From the spirit of sportsmanship that pre- vails. Oh, Central, we thank thee, thou guardian of youth ; In fol lowing thy precepts we’ll strive for the truth. For Central students there’ll be no bars, For they will seek for and search the stars. —ROSALIND DuBROVNER CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR Wore Committee Heads IRUIEAWAIN, UNV AM DT ose ee ae Ree einer ae eee ee eed Invitation TSS DG CONT 630 Wr Dis iS ee Entertainment (SHOES SPAN DING RD UN aths ar teo terk a ohne eat een oon ie AV cee one Florist TU TGIN Be bo BENS EU NG eee he ee Picture FRANCIS STEPHENS ae ees Da ieee ed ba dt eet NUN Bie ee 2 Ring Committee Committee Comnuttee Committee Committee Page Twenty-nine SENIOR EDITION? 1939 Our Future Tonight, we, the Class of 39, bid our last farewell to Central High School, receive our diplomas, a handshake and a blessing. We, who have looked forward to this mght of eraduation, now regret its passing and are not so eager to leave the school and faculty we have grown to know and respect. As we sit here, a continuous train of rem- iniscences flashes across Our memories. Friends we have made; tasks we have ac- complished; lessons we have perhaps not liked, yet studied; teachers with whom we have worked; all have a place in this rapid chain of events and bring back thoughts of familiar surroundings. Thus saddened by our leaving, yet en- couraged and strengthened by ambition and determination, we shall soon remove these caps and gowns, being no longer High School seniors, but another class of graduates step- ping cautiously forth into a new and un- known world. As we prepare to go forth, even the most daring among us hesitate as we realize fully the precarious surroundings into which we are advancing. We see a world of hostile nations striv- ing for power, quarreling over territories hovering on the brink of a major war. Ethopia, Spain, and China have already felt the crushing force of devastating con- flicts. Austria, Czechoslavakia, Bohemia, Lithuania, Memel, and Albania have felt the devouring greed of men mad with power. As democratic statesmen struggle valiantly for peace, the Rome-Berlin axis pushes its way into the richest lands of Europe. While British armaments and conscription are doubled and gas masks fitted on men, women, and children, foreign dictators meet to de- cide the fate of nations. Into such a world do we cautiously advance to meet the might- lest challenge ever offered a civilization—a challenge to save modern civilization from complete destruction, Page Thirty The most progressive advance of science, business, and culture the world has ever wit- nessed is being threatened. Marvelous dis- coveries in the fields of medicine and sci- ence, new theories of law and government yet in the making, all the inventions of the twen- tieth century will be crushed if the next war is as terrible as it must inevitably be. Not only do we see such alarming con- ditions in Europe, but focusing our attention on matters of unrest and disturbance nearer home, we see alarming conditions and inter- national problems in South America. Alarm- ing conditions? International problems? Yes, caused by Nazi and Fascist representa- tives who have gained a strong foothold in Latin American Countries. Communication and transportation between South America and Europe have been carefully built up by German agents schooled in ‘‘Organization and Colonization in the Americas.’’ While Germany’s South American cotton trade was doubled in 1938, Mextco signed oil trade agreements with Italy. These treaties were formerly consigned to Great Britain. Thus the trouble-makers of Europe provide for future colonies in the Americas. These are the eonditions of the outside world. Now let us determine the more im- mediate problems of our own nation. Just what may we expect to find when we examine the possibilities of making a successful start now or after college years? Viewing our own country, we see it in the midst of the most radical experiment it has ever attempted. Overwhelmed by un- employment, faced with the problem of a very unbalanced budget, appropriating bil- lions for defense, striving to make adjust- ments between big business, and the govern- ment, it is passing through the most pre- carious decade of its entire history.

CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR lore President’s Address Members of the Board of Kdueation, Mr. Superintendent, Principals, Members of the Faculty of Central High, Parents, and Friends: It gives every member of this class nothing less than a thrill as such a large group of people show their interest in us to- night. I can assure you that an audience of this size will be a pleasant memory for us all of our high school days. Speaking for this class as its president, let me express our ut- most gratitude for your presence at our graduation tonight which represents the com- pletion of twelve years’ work in various schools. During the past three years we have attended Central High School for the purpose of receiving our advanced education. What does it mean to us to be a graduate of Central? It means that the knowledge we have acquired has been under the super- vision of a learned, talented, and efficient faculty, headed by our beloved principal, Mr. Chas. P. Jester. Not only have members of this faculty given us an opportunity to re- ceive a splendid high school education, but they have also befriended us and taken per- sonal interest in many of us. Through the examples that they have set and the practi- eal lessons that they have taught, they have better prepared us to confront the problems which we are sure to meet as we enter the life that lies ahead of us. To be a graduate of Central also means we have learned to make true friends and shall have pleasant memories of these com- panions made in high school. In the process of mingling with the type of student Central produces, we have developed more pleasing personality and higher character. We have enjoyed the comradeship of our classmates by playing a game of ball in our leisure or by attending parties and dances during the week-end, and like other classes that have gone before us, we, too, have had our high school romances. Certainly in the future we shall look back with joy on the pleasures spent with the Central High associates. While this class has enjoyed these pleas- ures, I feel sure it has realized the traditions set by former classes of Central and has lived up to these traditions. Central has sent a team of fighting Warriors into every athletic competition during this year. These Warriors even captured the State of Ten- nessee track title. All of these teams were lead by, and largely composed of, Seniors. A superb military battalion, with a majority of Senior officers, set a fine precedent in the annual government inspection. Our Student Participation in Government reached its peak this term under a president who is a member of this class. Our speech and Latin departments received recognition in the State Speech and Latin tournament. And in many other ways have members of this class given their all to build and keep up the reputation of Central. Tonight, or in the next few days, our parents or some friend will probably ask us, ‘ Well, are you glad to have been graduated from high school?’’? Proudly we shall reply, ‘“When I received that diploma, I experi- enced the happiest moment of my life.’’ But soon, very soon, this happiness will change to sorrow—sorrow because we shall never return to classes in the school that has been instrumental in formulating our knowledge and character. Along with this happiness and sorrow, we shall have the secure feeling of knowing that however successfull we may become in the future, we shall owe it all to the institu- tion that has developed within us ambition with honor, and courage with determination. This institution is our Alma Mater, Cen- tral High School—Bob McRae. Page Thirty-three ele This year Professor Hawke will climax al- most a year’s work when he presents ‘‘The Pirates of Penzance’’ on June 3 at Ellis Au- ditorium.

All the previous ones have been extremely successful, and have been well supported by the student body. The story, based around pirates, has for the lead, Wade Nowlin, who is the pirate Frederick. He was reared by a nurse maid, Ruth. She was told to apprentice him to a pilot. Misunderstanding the latter word as ‘‘nirate,’? she apprenticed him to pirates The Operetta SENIOR EDITION® 1939 NS until his twenty-first birthday. Ruth now falls in love with Frederick. When landing on shore one day from his pirate ship, a host of beautiful girls greeted him. He was somewhat frightened, but he made friends with Mable, and they in turn fell in love with each other. As usual, it was a case of love at first sight and Mable and Frederick are making plans for a happy future when the pirates re- appear and capture the rest of the girls. Soon Mnjor-General Stanley arrives upon the scene. He quickly sizes up the situation and tells the pirates that he is an orphan, for he knows that the pirates always spare orphans, because they are orphans themselves. They reluctantly free the girls. and as the police round up the pirates the opera has in the course of time its usual happy ending. Seniors taking part in outstanding roles are: Sara Buchanan, Peggy Miller, Mary Dee London, Dickey Moss, Robert Kessler, and Vernon Ingram. Much of the chorus is also composed of senior class members. Page Thirty-four CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR = = = —=Iovr Student Government Student government in the past fifteen years, has existed as an important and neces- sary feature of Central. Since its establish- ment in the spring of 1923, it has become the most influential and effective organization in this high school; this is attributed to ca- pable and. efficient leadership. ‘““Resolved: That Student Government should be adopted in Central High.’’ This was the issue of a furious debate in 1923, as a number of people were doubtful as to whether this plan would be a success. The interest and enthusiasm the debate aroused resulted in a general assembly for discussion of the matter. Because of heated arguments, nothing was accomplished. The following day, the leaders of the affirmative and nega- tive sides of the question met at a formal convention. So sincere were the advocates of Student Government, in the belief that the system would be a great asset to the school, they con- vineed the student body by a large majority vote, that the plan should be adopted. Perhaps the advocates of the establish- ment hoped that Student Government would give the students a better understanding and broader conception of democracy and citizen- ship, and enable them to face responsibility and leadership. Although the system is not perfect, and there are criticisms to be of- fered, realization of what school life would be without student government does not ap- peal to us. The students who are elected to the of- fices of the Student Government are chosen for their ability to lead and to serve, and for their character. Humorous Bob McRae definitely proved to be a successful President in the fall of 1938; because of the splendid service ren- dered during his administration, he was elect- ed President of the Senior Class this spring. Other energetic and capable students who served as officers in the fall of 1938 were: As Boy’s Vice-President, Jesse Wooten; as Girl’s Vice-President, Tommie Jean Hay- good; as Secretary, Frances Stephens; as Treasurer, Larry McCormick; as Defending Attorney, Bobby Davis; as Prosecuting At- torney, John Cawthon; as Commissioner of Publicity, S. L. Kopald; and as Commission- er of Social Activities, Rogers Beasley. These officers were deserving of the hon- or and privilege of serving, for they worked conscientiously. Jesse Wooten was an excellent choice for president at mid-term elections. Jesse will complete his term of office with the assur- ance that his work deserves recognition of fine leadership. Admiration, too should go to Hal Gerber, as boy’s vice-president; Mar- tha Earp as girl’s vice-president; Frances Stevens as secretary; S. L. Kopald as treas- urer, Billy Phillips as defending attorney; Julian Nall as prosecuting attorney; Bill Sledge as Commissioner of social activities; and John Spain as commissioner of publicity. Unfortunately, we could not all be offi- cers, in the great institution of Student Gov- ernment, but we have all been citizens. At this eventful time in our lives, gradua- tion, the importance and necessity of leader- ship and responsibility is more evident than at any other time which we have known. It is the sincere hope that Student Government has benefited you, and helped to establish those qualities in your character.

Although the membership has been small, there have been several enjoyable meetings, one of the most interesting of which was the informal talk by George Stokes, Commercial Appeal’s late aviator photographer. Next year there are to be other educational meet- ings, and it is hoped by everyone that the Camera Club will be bigger and better. Senior members are George Mahan and Bill Eades.

A part of the international Y.W.C.A. organization, the local chapter has a membership of about fifty girls. Faculty advisers are Miss Polack, Mliss Rather, and Miss Graves. Officers who are seniors are as follows: President, Beverly Black; Vice-President, Pauline Howell; Secretary, Jane Tate; Treasurer, Peggye Hurley; Program Chair- man, Jean Butler; Publicity Chairman, Na- talie Herzburg. The program of the Girl Reserves has centered about vocational planning and re- ereational activities. During the spring, a number of fine speakers have addressed an audience of girls of the entire school. First was Frances Cunningham, Educational Di- rector of John Gaston Hospital, who told of the preparation and training necessary to be- come a nurse, and of various positions open to a nurse, ranging from the department store to the airliner. Mrs. Francis Howard, formerly at Lowensteins’ book department, spoke on opportunities found in department store work, from advertising to buying. The third visitor was Mrs. Julius Goodman, of the Board of Education, who spoke on ‘‘Is there a magic touch?’’ The magic touch is, of course, a good personality. Other activities, centering around health- ful recreation, during the winter included handicraft, camping, and gym work. As spring drew near, outdoor activities, such as tennis, golf, horseback riding, and swimming were enjoyed. The “H” Club In 1911, through a suggestion of John Rouhlae, Central High football captain, the Central High ‘‘H’’ Club was formed: The sponsors of the ‘‘H’’ Club were Mrs. Annie KH. Cooney, Miss Florence Schloss, Miss Frances Cunningham, and Miss Elizabeth Haszinger. This Club, the oldest organiza- Page Thirty-eight tion in the school, is still one of the most ac- tive. The membership consists of all stu- dents who have earned a letter in any of the four major sports: football, baseball, basket- ball, and track. Besides its regular activities this year, the ‘‘H’’ Club has entertained the student body with several dances and a comical skit entitled ‘‘Poky Huntus.’’ Starring in this production were Larry MeCormick—Captain John Smith, and Fleet Edwards as ‘‘ Pokey’’. A remarkable effect the ‘‘H’’ Club has on the morale of the school ts the preservation of school spirit. This is accomplished by the willingness of the ‘‘H’’ Club in backing all types of athletics. Because of this feeling, the members of the ‘‘H’’ Club have been among the most respected and the most out- standing of the students of Central High. In this year’s graduating class, there are many ‘‘H’’ Club members. Graduating mem- bers and the sports they have received let- ters in are as follows: Lynn Aaron, president—football, basketball, baseball , track. Tom Ross, vice president—football, baseball. Tom Jackson, secretary-treasurer—football, track. William Andrews—football. Frank Boswell—track. Robert Bradford—hbaseball. John Cawthon—football, baseball, track . Fleet Hdwards—football, baseball. Billy Goff—football, track. Frank Hiserodt—hasketball, track. Robert Jacobs—track. S. L. Kopald—basketball. Joe Meek—football. Larry McCormick — football , basketball, track. Bill Regenold—track. Bob Saunders—football, basketball. Carl Smith—football. James Stevenson—track. Allen Townsend—football. Mercer West—track. Captain. CENTRAL HIGH WARRIOR The Photoplay Club In 1933, under the auspices of Miss Stan- ton, Miss Wilson, and Miss Gladding, the Photoplay Club was organized in Central High School. This first attempt began in the classes of these teachers. As a result of these class experiments, the actual club began as a suggestion of one of the boys. The purposes of the Photoplay Club are to learn more about moving pictures, and to encourage the rest of the student body to at- tend better pictures. Among the officers of the club is a pro- gram chairman. It is the duty of this person to plan the activities of the club throughout his term of office. These activities include attending pictures and discussing them, bringing good pictures to the school audi- torium, visiting a projection booth, making a newsreel, having parties and picnics, com- paring books and plays with pictures made from them, studying the voices of actors, giving programs over the radio, and others. In this year’s graduating class there are six Photoplay Club members. These members are Ellen Cohen, president, fall term; Rosa- lind DuBrovner, president, spring term; Ber- nard Cohn, vice-president, fall term; Miriam Davis, Dorothy Gray, and Shirley Wallace. Our Future (Continued from Page 30) ers been granted the president. The entire term of President Roosevelt has been one enormous experiment to regain prosperity as defeats aind triumphs, successes and failures have run side by side. Thus we see the world into which we step so cautiously. We look forward into the un- certain future and see these problems with which we will soon have to cope. We see years ahead in which no position is assured, no future predicted, yet it is for us to go forth and prove our worth. It is our job to prepare ourselves not only to solve the prob- lems of today and tomorrow, but to carry on the progress made in science, business, and government. Thus is presented this challenge lo to youth. A challenge to live, earn, and suc- ceed—A. challenge to find security in a world of insecurity. The Class of ’39 is gathered together as a group for the last time. From here we will scatter to all parts of our country—perhaps the world. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we must not forget our years of experi- ence and association at Central High School. The aid and guidance in education and char- acter building that we have received here will be the foundation on which we will build in later years. Classmates: Let us step into the future with a determined stride, a stride inspired by the success of former Central graduating classes, a stride inspired by the desire to overcome the obstacles of a modern unstable world, a stride that will uphold the fine tradi- tions and high ideals of Central High School. That is our task. That is the challenge that we must take up.—Newton Allen. The Regular Warrior Under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Nolan, Miss Rosa Levy, and Miss Mamie Reiter, the editorial staff of the past year has successfully edited and distributed an edition every other week. The editorial staff, appointed semi-annu- ally, is composed of an editor-in-chief, a fea- ture editor, a news editor, a personals editor, a sports, and staff reporters. This staff, aided by the business staff and the home room reporters, have completed an excellent year. It is the duty of the home room reporter, selected semi-annually, to obtain home room news and supervise the distribution of the Warriors in each home room. Many of the members of this term’s staff are graduating. Those graduating are co-editors-in-chief, Hen Cohen and Geraldine Smith; personals editor, Amelia Cocke; business manager, Dave Schatz; advertising manager, Arthur Grehan, and floor manager, Charlotte Kin- cannon.
