At times we are champions—always we are in there fighting. Our student body numbers about 1,100, of whom 79% go on to college each year. We are Memphis’ oldest high school, built in 1909. But our story goes back—much further back—back to the great year 1848, for that year FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS were established in Memphis. Page Three IT TAKES A HUNDRED YEARS To Colonel J. W. A. Petit, father of free public schools in Memphis, in appreciation of his untiring efforts to this end. : : On this centennial of public schools, we at Central plan to show our gratitude to those enlightened men who made possible the humble but proud beginning of free schools. In 1848 a charter provided for free schools for the white, setting aside for this purpose ¥g of annual revenues. In spite of vio- | lent opposition men of vision, led by Colonel Petit, worked long and hard without pay to prove the worth of such a radical idea. They looked to the day when all citi- ee er zens would be alive to the necessity of equipping their children with an education. The efforts of these enlightened men have been rewarded. Schools have come a long way! Starting with four rented rooms, we now have fifty-four well-equipped build- ings, attended by 46,000 pupils. One third of the city’s income goes for their upkeep. In this yearbook, we propose to show life in a modern high school of 1949 in appre- ciation of that first school in 1849. Page Four Dreams Come True—Mr. R. E. King, Principal, goes over plans for the new gym with Mydelle Lane and Porter McClean, Editor and Business Manager of the Year Book, and Horace Branch, Captain of the ’49 basketball team. Busy Community—Such A School Is Central TODAY’S HIGH SCHOOL is a busy community adequate equipment to develop fine scholarship, where qualified teachers and self-disciplined stu- strong leadership, unselfish service, and integrity dents work together in pleasant surroundings with of character . . . such a school is Central. ROUND UP OF TAR- DIES—From the of- fice, nerve center of our school, Misses Margaret Kenny and Clara Hazen, secre- taries, coordinate and synchronize 1100 stu- dents into a smoothly run unit. They phone if we are absent; weigh our excuses; keep our records; and heartily render friend- ly advice and assist- ance. bak Subjects Taught in New Ways ANCIENT HISTORY models intrigue freshmen. Gargoyles and stone throw- ers make life centuries ago live today. CROSSWORD PUZ- ZLES wake Latin from the dead and provoke the in- terest of modern youth for an ancient classic. Adequate Equipment MOVIES AND CAFE- TERIA are essential for bright minds and _ healthy bodies. Visual education makes learning easy. THE SCHOOL BELL, another electrical servant, is set to work by Donald Snipes and Grady Sanders. Only two minutes remain before they press the button that will release anxious students from their tense waiting. QUIET in the halls is maintained by an efficient monitorial staff, sponsored by the Student Govern- ment. Billy Fortas listens unconvinced to Jerrie Ev- jen’s reasons for being late to class. Not good enough, Jerrie. We’ll see you in court. Page Eight OFFICE WORK, calling absentees, distributing mail, checking absentee lists, and other secretarial duties, are done by an efficient group. Standing are: Wear, Gegan, Rosselot, Morgan, Pope, Trotter; Seated: Busby, Robinson, Moore. BOOK STORE profits go for college scholarships. Clerks at the window, Gloria King and Betty Jo Hig- gins, wait on fellow clerks: Kirchdorfer, Rollow, Mattice, Leftwich, Grinter, Bryant, Houston, Plesof- sky, Goodall. Actively Participate in FIRE PREVENTION WEEK—We entered posters in city-wide contest; first prize was won by Joyce Reynolds. ACTIVE “POLITICIANS” back their candidates with buttons, speeches, and posters. Nov. 3, Dewey poster came down fast! SPORTING BIG RED FEATHERS are Archer, Busch, Lita Gibbs, and Kirchdorfer, leaders of a suc- cessful Community Chest Drive. Community Projects MARCH OF DIMES Campaign netted $121.95. Peggy and Darlene are glad all those dollars aren’t dimes! VALENTINE FAVORS FOR KENNEDY Hospital were made by the art department at the request of the Junior Red Cross. Artists are Chandler, Fischer, Bache, Thomas. THE BLIND GAME parade was entered enthusias- tically by Centralites in convertibles with flying colors. FB tee fn PRET toe Starry Ager 3 : Ee And Are Off on Conventions, Trips, Campaigns EN ROUTE to NSPA Convention of High School Journalists at French Lick are editors and business managers of the WARRIOR: McClean, Kahn, Schrader, Law, Bowling, Lane, Hinz. “ALL ABOARD for the SASG Convention at Mobile, Alabama!” say Delegates Bill Allen, Peggy Morgan, and Nat Dillon—Nat won 2nd prize as prettiest delegate. OUT OF TOWN TRIPS are high points on the athletic schedule. This bus load is about to leave for Clarksdale. INGENIOUS MANAGERS stage ag- gressive campaigns in Student Govern- ment elections. Candidates are selected by Nominating Conventions of home room delegates. To be elected president is the highest honor any student can win, for in his and his cabinet’s hands is the good name of Central. Gorgeous George’s weight goes to Gold ticket. —Friday afternoons—Youthful Patrick Henrys de- 1449 claimed “Give me liberty” and spelling champions up- held their reputations in matches to the pleasure and edification of visiting parents, friends, and members of the Board of Visitors. These oratorical contests and spelling bees were the only extra- curricular activities that relieved the weekly grind. Students came to study—studied—went home—that’s all. No student government developed a sense of responsibility; no clubs offered opportunities to make friends, learn, and have fun at the same time. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” was Nort the idea in 1849.

Honor Society SEVENTY-NINE PER CENT of Central graduates attend college and some find too late that their high school courses have not ful- filled the necessary requirements for admission. With this in mind the members inducted in 1948 or- dered catalogs from a hundred col- leges and universities throughout the country. Entrance require- ments from each institution were listed and put on file. Now stu- dents may find out in advance and adjust their schedule to these courses.

Page Twenty 1949’s Most Likely to Succeed, Darlene Stiller and Frank Liddell. {849 —Off to the war! was the cry just three years ago. Regi- ments of eager Memphians—the Blues, the Eagles, the Guards—had followed the Stars and Stripes—26 stars, that is—to the Mexican War where Lee and Grant were fighting side by side. Like Vigilantes of a later day, the Guards and the Blues had or- ganized in 1843 to assist reform Mayor William Spickernagle in bringing law and order to their rowdy river town. These deter- mined citizens marched on the 2,000 irate flat-boatman tied up at the wharf who had boldly defied the Mayor’s orders, for a time it seemed the town might be destroyed. ‘Thus law came to Memphis. Page Twenty-one THE CORE OF THE BATTALION in military activities, the staff issues all orders and regulations con- cerning the entire unit. Daily company competition, neatness cadet competition, attendance, and mainte- nance of equipment are handled by this group. Pictured are: Maj. Liddell, Capt. Henry, Lt. Col. Sanders, Capt. McReynolds, Capt. Mie- her, Capt. Shainberg, Capt. Cheatham, Regular Army in- structors M sgt. Tettinger, Capt. Badger, St sgt. Morton. Central Does Its Part For Preparedness CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION has been empha- sized this year more than ever before. Under the capable adult supervision of Capt. W. E. Badger, St sgt. I. B. Morton, M sgt. J. S. Tettinger, M sgt. V. B. Blomquist the cadets have been instructed in scouting and patroling, small unit tactics, aerial map- reading, military history, interior guard duty, and the ‘functioning and actual disassembly of weapons. Guns to be Studied Guns to be Cleaned Guns to be ‘Toted’ GREAT GUNS! CEREMONIAL PARADE gives the cadet corps its share of drill in addition to regular classroom instruc- tion. During the week at the regular military periods there is company, platoon, and squad drill, while each Thursday at parade period, the entire battalion participates in a ceremonial parade. At this time the staff selects an honor company for the week. CEREMONIAL FIRING SQUADS render a serious service to the community and the country by serving at military funerals of re- turned war dead in the Memphis area. Four of these squads, one from each company, have been organized at Central, in conjunction with the units of the other city schools. The cadet corps is proud to perform such a duty. ARMISTICE DAY PARADE, when Central’s en- tire Battalion and Band compete with those of other schools for honors, is another of the most important events of the R.O.T.C. year. Cadets are graded on attendance, appearance, and marching ability. Pic- tured are Lt. Col. Sanders, Arlene Becker, Capt. Mieher, Mydelle Lane, Maj. Liddell, Nan Hassler. C Company Front—Capt.

Page Twenty-six Warrior Band Steps Out In That New Look AT LAST, Central has a band suitable for more than R.O.T.C., a band with smart new uniforms for pep meetings, games, and pa- rades. This change is due to the untiring efforts of S sgt. Ira B. Morton, band director, and Mr. King and to the financial back- ing of the P.T.A. and the alum- ni. The entire school was sorry to see S sgt. Morton transferred by the Army. We hope someday to have the fine band for which he was working. Sgt. Morton, Poole and Sutherin (leaders in Xmas card sale) smile as Warrior Mgrs. McClean and Kahn, along with P.T.A. president, Mrs. M. M. Mattice, present Mr. King checks for band uniforms. ar nh 1949’s Most Athletic, Anne Langschmidt and Carl Roe. lf AY —Deplorably unathletic were the schools—no organized sports—no yells—no cheerleaders. The 1870’s would see the beginning of football in college, but not the game we know— to touch the ball with the hands was illegal. No pads, no equip- ment, not even uniforms were worn. Since rules were uncertain, the game usually ended in a free-for-all. Basball was introduced in 1859. Memphis youth saw a bit of cock-fighting, horse racing, and an occasional duel. Boys played hookey to hunt deer and even bear on Main Street almost in front of the Gayoso. As for girls’ sports—the idea would have shocked the fragile lassies of °49.

Gene Lewis and squad ready to whoop it up. x THE PERENNIALLY POTENT WARRIORS enjoyed only a mediocre season on the gridiron and were forced to share fourth place in the prep league standings with the South Side Scrappers, a spot unfamiliar to Central. Although the Warriors played hard every game and suffered many close, heartbreaking defeats, they did not begin to hit on all eleven cylinders until the final game with the powerful Messick Panthers. In this last game of the season, the Warriors displayed the power and finesse which had lain dormant most of the year. Their defeat of the highly touted, power-laden Messick crew was the highlight of the season. FOOTBALL SCORES This great upset was engineered chiefly by the churning legs of Dick | 0...............South Side.................

Warriors Remain Undefeated in Prep League COACH RUFFNER MURRAY began basketball this season with dismal hopes. Only a few varsity men were returning, and he had to develop his team from these and members of last year’s B team. Returning lettermen were captain Horace Branch, alternate captain Carl Roe, Chuck Bender, Joe Heyboer, and Dick Foster. Up from the B team to shine as varsity players were Carl Langschmidt, Louis Britt, Bill Left- wich, Frank Benson, Bill Allen, and Rodney Dunn. Langschmidt developed into the offensive star, scor- ing more than 500 points during the season; Britt and Leftwich became the team’s scrappiest guards. Page Thirty-two Langschmidt, F. Allen, F. Benson, G. THE WARRIOR BASKETEERS were the first team in many years to complete its prep league sea- son undefeated. From a team given a slight chance for success the Warriors progressed into a fast-break- ing, accurate-shooting aggregation. They averaged over 50 points a game while holding. the opposition below 50. In their pre-season encounters, © getting an even break with Kentucky and Tennessee opposi- tion, the Warriors failed to impress anyone. When the conference opened, however, the basket bombers repeatedly bowled over all opposition and at the halfway mark were considered cinches for the title. GROUND BROKEN Tournament Branch, G. Roe, G. Heyboer, C. CINCHING THE CHAMPIONSHIP, the Warriors, aided by Langschmidt’s 28 points and a prep record, routed the highly rated Messick Panthers, for the second time in a fast and exciting fray. Langschmidt, one of the highest scorers Central has produced, was chosen on both the Press-Scimitar and the Commer- cial-Appeal All-Memphis. Joe Heyboer, a stellar ace on the backboards, was chosen on the Commercial- Appeal All-Memphis. Cagers get lecture at time out: “Now get in there and play some basketball.” Foster, F. Dunn, F. Bender, F. Competition Proves Disastrous TOURNAMENT PLAY proved disastrous to the po- tent Warriors, who fell before C.B.C., 40-39, in the finals of the District 2 tournament. Hampered by Langschmidt’s injured leg, the Warriors again lost to C.B.C. in the finals of the Unit I tournament. The loss of Branch and Heyboer’s injured ankle slowed down the Warriors in the West Tennessee tourna- ment, and they were knocked off in the semifinals by the Humboldt Rams, who captured the state title.

An humble beginning was this first free public school. Un- sanitary, unattractive rooms caused much truancy. Pupils used a community drinking cup—germs had not yet been discovered. Standard textbooks were unknown. Salaries were poor— $600 per year for men; $400 for women. First hint of progress came in 1852 when a grading system was devised. Soon after a Board of Visitors was organized to inspect the schools and to give oral examinations.

Determined Freshmen Put Over ‘Swell’ Dance HIGHLIGHT OF FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES for the year was their dance of Oak Park Y. Centralites frolicked to the tunes of Willy Johnson’s orchestra, dined on Keathley pies, and were entertained by a variety show featuring Charles Rich, Otis Smith, and Jack Casky. The Oak Park Y, scene of the festive occasion, was decorated with balloons and green and gold streamers. For a time it looked as if there might not be a dance at all—anyhow not with a real live orchestra. A deadline had to be met with $95.00. Not only did these financial tycoons do that, but they made a profit of $27 which the Juniors borrowed. Who said the Freshmen could not get up their party?
