Censowe Basket Ball The North Censowe was ably represented in basket ball this season. Interest ran high be¬ cause a cup was to be presented to the wiri- nmg team and a banner to the winning sec¬ ond team. The members of the first team who played for the cup were, Grace Morse and Dorothy Barber, forwards; Florence Wilhelm, center; Lois Tichenor and Fern Wai den, guards. The girls were awarded a C, the Censowe letter. The members of the second team who won the banner were, Elizabeth Myers and Ethel Wilson, forwards; Dorothy Arndt, center; Emily Smith, Marjorie Dyke and Edna Fen¬ ton guards. These girls were given points to aoply on their next year’s letter. The teams were coached by Mrs. Pake, and games were refereed by Miss Kennedy and Miss Tucker. The scores for the first team were as fol- lows; January 28 North 12 West 16 February 8 North 13 East 26 February 13 North 14 South 9 February 26 North 7 South 9 March 7 l,.Kh 13 East 46 March 14 North 34 Central 11 March 18 North 10 West 18 The scores for ' the second team were as follows; January 28 North 15 West 10 February 8 North 22 East 16 March 17 North 17 East 10 March 24 North 18 West 16 — Fern Warden,’25 OCX «:= History of the Class of June, 1924 (Continued from page 23) places on the d«.,bating team, and tnis year the number has increased to five. Ten of our students have received scholarship letters; Donald Bishop, Myrtle Porter, Helene Bendell, Roma Allison, Elizabeth Armstrong and John Tullio have received letters all four years. Two of the buys have received the Varsity N for track and one for football. Luther Hos- field has his name engraved on tne track cup, as he was high-point man in the 1924 Inter¬ class track meet. Thelma Waite has served the school faith¬ fully all four years by her singing in the glee club and playing for the orchestra. Basil Likens, Elizabeth Armstrong, and Ivan Satow have brought honor to the school by winning first prizes in essay contests, thus bringing a beautiful flag and a number of books to the school. Our girls have supported Censowe, particularly Mrytle Porter, Edna Schrank, Esther Johnston, Thelma Waite, and Martha Witmer, and our boys have taken active part in Hi-Y. Altogether we feel that we have truly backed the school and that we have an envi¬ able record to our credit. ' Donald Bishop,’24 Why Boys Leave School The problem of keeping the young men of Akron from leaving our high schools before graduation is of great importance. To rem¬ edy this evil we put forth the following sug¬ gestions; 1. Elevators might be ' installed in all build¬ ings to avoid the necessity of climbing long flights of stairs. 2. Merry-go-rounds could be put in the gymnasiums so that boys could get the effect of moving without doing so. 3. Edison could invent a device to turn the pages of books so that pupils would not have to lift their hands. 4. Taxies could be hired to bring the poor tired boys to school in the mornings and take them home at nights. 5. Half-hour rest oeriods might be set a.side at various times during the day. 6. Moving pictures might be used instead of books to avoid the neoessiiy of carrying such a load around. 7. Conversation should be allowed at all times to afford amusement during tedious hours of study and recitation. 8. Teachers should be engaged merely to suggest novel means of entertainment. These suggestions, with others that might be derived from them, are given with the idea of keeping young men in high schools until they are entitled to graduate, or until they die of old age. —Clifford Springston,’25 Forty-nine

CALENDAR FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER January 28. Jimmie Fiasco cer¬ tainly does make a good trainer. He is always on the run when ever he is needed. Maybe he is trainer for his brother. Miss Smetts distinguishes herself by break¬ ing all records on a kiddie car; Royden Whaley shocks the populace by his skill in manipulating a certain young lady’s galoshes; and several of the distinguished seniors suf¬ fer a cruel and watery death in a canvas lake during the presentation of “Lord Ullin’s Daughter.” February 4 Did you see that thrilling North-South game? Score 30-29 favor or North! Fern Warden almost had hysterics and all of us suffered nervous breakdowns during the ex¬ citement. February 11 After an absence of two weeks Gird wood Stinaff reappears with a misplaced eyebrow on his up¬ per lip. Probably his absence was due to the careful nurs¬ ing necessary to its growth. February 18 What an exciting week! The North-Central game—We lost, but how were we to know it? The mid year num¬ ber of the North Star— and Friend¬ ship Day! We learn that Norris Com¬ panion and Morse Bell have whole books of friends. We needed Wash¬ ington’s Birthday to rest up from all the thrills. February 25 After the January graduates have forgotten they ever weie high school students, and the class of June has forgotten it ever was Senior B ' s, comes the long delayed Senior party, Fifly March 3 Workmen begin to be in evidence. Freshly painted girls have been conspicuous arourd North for manv years but it has been a century — almost — since we have seen a freshly paint¬ ed stage. Nora Smith is heard to remark, “Oh! girls,I’mcrazy- about that good look¬ ing painter!” March 10 The girls of North High have the fever now and are all having their hair shingled. What are they trying to do? Why, they are making themselves more up-to-date. Among those who have had tneirs shingled are: Frances Pat¬ terson, Jeane Garrett, Anna Williams, Grace Morse, Marian Walsh and Zetta Roberts. March 17 The Freshmen broke into North High soci- sety! The green decorations for St. Patrick’ Day were most ap- propriate. Morse Bell, one of the fresh¬ man boys tried to Dreak the ice by taking one of the junior girls home but — did he suc¬ ceed? Then Mr. Kelly took an active part in the program and forgot the words to his song, and so supplied funny jokes.
