The time has come for all good C?J students to rise to arms and defend themselves against the Regents. To pass or not to pass-that is the question. Too long have We tarried over quadratic equations, participal phrases, and irregular verbs. As Regents Week approaches, We realize the -colossal importance of this period. Things have reached a crisis, and our fates hang in the balance. Speak up, comrades! VVill you surrender to these tryingqordeals, or will you rally your forces and arise from the fray grim but smiling? Come, friends, let us conquer the foe and With a light heart- face the coming summer mont-hs to regain our equilibriums. More strength to you, comrades, and may all your marks be passing Ones. ' The Editor. 2 Tl-IE. CENTRAL F LAS-H' Miss Sly has been closely associated with the class of '30 since its freshman year. As home-room teacher and instructor in English, she has endeared herself to the hearts of her students. In future days, they can l-ook b-ack to the many happy hours spent in her classes and particularly in the ho-me-rooms under her supervision. Although this is the first year Miss Du- Bois has conducted a home-room for the class of '30, she also has been closely asso- ciated with it through her art classes. Many are the students who can truthfully state that Miss DuBois instilled in them an appreciation of the beautiful th-rough a knowledge of color and design.

VVhenever we hear a low AW hey. Cut it out! we can tell that Charlie is around. This little lady is Berenice Buteau, who besides playing for four years on the girls' basketball team, spending two years on the track, Ethel Barrymoring in Mr, Bob, 'fNancy Ann, and The Governor's Daugh- ter, and being elected the pep-piest girl in the senior group, has done nothing for dear old Central.

We find that she took part in Clarence and also in Nancy Ann. She tells us that she has no ambition so We suppose that means she intends to get married. Robert Clark began his career in '28 by playing on the basketball team. After earning a letter as official floor mop, he tried his luck at campus dusting with the football mob in ,29. After acting as hall cop, Cr. O. representative, and playing on the senior class championship basketball team, his ambition, shame on him, is to get out of school. 5 THE FCENTRAL FLASH I - 9 x LW an 6755 Introducing Fred CFritzJ DeBold in per- son. He is a living model of what the well-dressed man should wear. We have discovered that he not only played on the basketball team in '26, baseball in '28, and football during the same year, but that he also starred in several plays including Touchdown, Once There Was a P-rin- cess, f'The Governor's Daughter, and The Dear Departed. His chief ambition is to be a doctor, and his hob-bies are tennis, swimming, baseball, and basketball. Will we miss him? Ask the girl who owns him! a rather quiet little girl, with surprising people.

In '29 he was a member of the commercial club, and he also took part in the operetta. His ambition is to be a certified accountant, and his hobbies are basketball, tennis, and Cshlb singing. If you were to follow Leo around for one day, you would hear at least twenty times, these immortal words, 'KI haven't got the homework! Q 9 Last year Patricia Giamerese was just upon the threshold of matrimony, when a dark handsome Be Prepareder caught her eye and her heart's been thumping ever since. Between thumps she's had time to be the president of La Fleur de Lys , secretary of the Dramatic Club, '29, vice- president of the G.

CHow about it, gi1'ls?D He is on this year's track team and is also a member of the Dramatic Club. He was the grass-widower in the junior play, Clarence, and, also took part in the senior play, Nancy Ann. He has had plenty of experience as a re- porter, in both the operetta and Sham, However, he says he is going out into the world to seek his fortune. Here's luck to him? Introducing Williaiii Tervo, the boy With the drawl and the ready smile. Everyone remembers him as the dashing young hero of theisenior play, 'fNancy Ann. He will probably go to college in the coming fall. His favorite pastime is scouting of any size, shape, or dimension. What girl's heart wouldn't skip a beat at the appearance of that dimpling smile? And this is Victor N. Tompkins, who starred in Miss Civilization, '.'Clarence, and also took the part of the mentally- deficient hero in The Governor's Daugh- ter. During the past two semesters he has made a very competent president of the G. O. Those who attended last year's Junior Prom will remember Vic as the guest speaker. Little else needs be said of Vic's accomplishments during his high school career. We all know what he has done for Central and what a valuable asset he will be to Cornell next year. 14 To Q- I H at X TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH Of' Ruth White, the girl with the perma- nent wave, came to Central in '26, She has been secretary of both the sophomore and junior classes. Much of Ruth's art work graces the walls of our art room. She is very modest and refuses to put her name on any of herposters, but we can always tell them from the rest by that professional touch. But no-Ruth doesn't intend to be an artist. She is going to be somebody's stenog. A f 4 ' 1 i xv, . V. i 'fi James Nerrie has served old Central with fifir years of football, three years of bas- X- ketball, and two years of baseball. He is on this year's baseball and track teams and has been all-scholastic center of the Long Island team for two years. He was vice- president of the G. O. in '28 and is the first president of our young, but flourishing A. A. He took part in two senior plays, A Pair of Sixes and The Dear Departed. Jim intends to enter Cortland University next fall. ' William fBillj Duncan is one of Central's landmarks. He played on our baseball team in '28 and was the manager of the basketball team in '29. He took a role in Mr Bob and played t-he hard-boiled detective in this year's senior play Nancy Ann. Bill tells us that his favorite pastimes are basketball, tennis, or what have you. You'd better ask hfim what his favorite expression is. Don't say we didn't warn you! 15 TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH ' THE WASHINGTOIN TRIP ' i Gal Ga! Romance. Boo-boo! I'm foopy over you. How's your melodian? What do all these strange things mean? If you were on the Washington trip, no explanations would be necessary. As usual, f'Puddles and Edie were the last ones there, but after their arrival we raised anchor. t After a few stops for gas, we reached the Colonial Hotel sadly in need of food and also soap and H20. The first evening was spent at the Congressional Library. i The two following days we visited many 'points of interest. Among these was the Smithsonian Institute where we saw 'Lindy's plane. As our time was limited we spent it looking at the many different types of dress which the 'thrst ladies of the land wore. We also went to Mount Vernon where we were congratulated upon our good looks by the photographer. Mount Vernon is our ideal of a real home. Welre sure you will all agree with us when you, at last, go on that long, long-desired trip. ' We were very cordially introduced to the most gracious hostess of the United States, Mrs. Hoover. I We almost forgot-the seniors made their maiden voyages in the airplanes at the Hoover Flying Field, although Curtiss Field is just around the corner from home. Have you noticed that the chubbies of the senior class have lost some excess baggage since they returned? The secret of it all is this: They walked up and down the stairs leading to the dome of the capitol. The third night was spent in a little town. Imagine! It was smaller than Valley Stream! Can it be possible? It surely can! The name was Abbots- town, and it abounded with chicken and waffles. Well, go to Abbotstown, and eat for yourself. The next morning we rose bright and early, dismayed at the thought of returning home, but the Five Blue Dukes cheered us up by rendering the ever-popular 'fRomance . Rita Edwards and Florence M cD0weZl. A MEMORIES It's springtime and the lilacs are in bloom. Of these a small bouquet bedecks my room, And the fragrance of these flowers so sublime Tends to make me dream and dreaming ind Myself once more where nature held her sway, By a wood encircled cabin far away. It was there I spent my youth, it was my home. I still can see the woods I loved to roam. The lilacs and the bowing tulips dear to me, I still cherish them in memory. I hope once more to see my place of birth Before my name is called, and I leave earth. - A Alonzo Gibbs.

CLASS HISTORY I In the little old wooden school on Wheeler Avenue, which housed Central's first graduating class, we, the class of '30, started on the road to- knowledge. COf course, we had our breakdowns, but then, who doesn't?J Our faculty ad- visers were Mr. Applegate, Miss Erickson, Mrs. Raynor fwe knew her then as Miss Lawtonj, and Miss Sly, the last of whom came all the way through with us. It was in our frosh year that we had our first G. O. The popular Francis Gagliano was president of this organization. Our class officers were: Ray Nerrie, president, Martha Pille, vice-president, Ruth White, treasurer, and Thelma Eckart, secretary. ' Then with a slight sifting Cand shiftingj we passed into the bored state of sophs. The system of morning and afternoon sessions was. initiated in this year, and these brave hearts had to trudge merrily to- school in the cool of the morning fseven-thirty, to be exact, my dear Alphonsoj. Having survived the gruelling test, Miss Erickson, Mrs. Raynor and Miss Sly remained with us. The firm-minded Cand handedj Mr. Church took Mr. Applegate's place. This year produced Miss Civilization , at play under .Miss Sly's direction. The fameux French Club, 'fLa Fleur de Lys had its beginning in this year. The illustrious Charles Norman Schmidt was president of the class, Ray Nerrie, vice- president, Edith Chvatal, secretary, and Katherine Fink, treasurer. Still struggling on, we gained our junior year. Mrs. Cottrell, the original club-organizer, joined our school for that one year. The Dramatic Club, Book Club Cwhich died outj, Hiking Club which is still going strong, and the Hand- craft Club Cwhich went the way of the Book Clubj first saw the light of day then. Our newspaper, the Central Flash, first came into existence at that time also. p We, following the school custom, gave a Junior Prom to the seniors. Clarence , our play of that year, was termed by both the spectators and the participants a howling success. The class officers were John Biddulph, presi- dent, John Schmidt, vice-president, Ruth White, secretary, and Rita Edwards, treasurer. g And now we are sophisticated Seniors-soon to be alumni. A well-deserved rest is in sight Koh, yeah?fJ. Quite a veteran in our class is Miss Sly, again home-room teacher. Miss DuBois has the other home-room Calso Red j. The senior play, with Miss Mosso wielding the megaphone, was f'Nancy Ann . Our class officers are Rita Edwards, a very competent president, Flor- 18 THE CENTRAL FLASH ence McDowell, vice-president, Margaret Luca, secretary, and, as treasurer, the graceful Mr. Charles Hewlett.

HENCE ! It all happened when Guinevere Gwendolyn was struck down by that crim- inal motorist, Leo Goldwyn. If he had been driving with both hands, it would never have happened. But then, it did happen, and I never could have for- given him if that darling child had-. However, I shall continue, for I can not bear to think of it even now. There lay my dearest daughter, strewn half across Fletcher Avenue and breathing spasmodically, when the ambulance arrived and Attendant Gilbert Dorland transported her to the nearest doctor. He forbade me to accompany her in that terrifying white machine, but Bob Clark, driver for the Bergner and Hewlett Lingerie Company, passed that way and offered his assistance. a I'm afraid that I dashed into that doctor's office without so much as thank- ing Mr. Clark, but I know that he will consider the circumstances and forgive me. Needless to mention, I was already flustrated, but when that annoying Puddles Ives chewed gum so nonchalant-ly and refused me entrance to the operating room, I fainted. I recovered to find Nurse White ministering to me with smelling salts and attempting to protect me from Doctor Luca who finally succeeded in stranding me in her delightful sanctuary and adding six of my molars to her collection. When at last I was released, Miss Ives smilingly re- turned me to the sitting room where Surgeon DeBold greeted me calmly. Mrs,-i-, he assured me, there is a chance for Guinevere Gwen- dolyn, I believe, if we carefully follow every precaution. I am going to insist that you send her to the Central Hospital where she will have the best of att-ention under that famous specialist, Leslie Lewis. As for a nurse, either Miss Ives or Nurse White is capable. May I suggest, Mrs.---, that you return home, straighten your affairs, and acco-mpany your daughter to the nursing home? I drew on my gloves hurriedly, one can always depend on Surgeon DeBold. Oh, doctor, I called, as he turned to treat Mrs. Duncan, the former illus- trious Gladys Logan, for pellagra fshe had gro-wn stout in middle agej. How is poor Mr. Buteau getting along at t-he Russel Sanitarium f Pretzel had donated this magnificent edifice after accumulating a few million in Wall StreetJ? ' I Alas, Surgeon DeBold bowed his head. He passed into eternitY.YeSt91'fiaY eve. Perhaps it was better thus, he has never been the same old Bill since thirty ' ' 77 years ago when he passed that Regents 'in GCOHOIIHCS- Sad at heart, I turned toward home. i Sally Ann Geraldine was filthy, but that's what results from letting your 19 TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH g children associate with such vulgar, filthy little infants as those children of Bill Duncan. The only time they can be forced to behave is when their uncle Kenneth allows them to run through his candy plant. 6 The Kenneth Sweet Plant is run on the senior basis.D Well, I must leave Sally Ann Geraldine with someone-and why not Rita Edwards Snifflestein? Her children exert such a good influence on Sally Ann. But Mrs. Snifflestein was busy entertaining the Book Club whose members were deep in the discussion of Margaret Miller's Child Psychology and Martha Karr's Life of Berenice Buteau, the Bernhardt Successor. So, I turned to my neighbor on the other side, Widow MacDoogle, whose deceased husband had left her a fortune earned in successful scavengery. HGravy Nose was growing a lit-tle deaf, but I finally persuaded her to keep Sally Ann Geraldine and make William Tervo charge my laundry bill and leave the laundry when he should arrive. Well, here I was ready to depart when I discovered that I was penniless and my hat was slightly. shabby. I smiled hopefully, however, when I greeted President Tompkins at the Central Bank. One no longer called this bald- headed gentleman of prestige Vic . His impenetrable appearance and his gigantic mustachio made one shiver and shudder. He thundered at me un- mercifully, and I finally retreated to the Sign of the Three Balls where Sammy Marks cheerfully lent me a few dollars on my watch. The years had been kind to him, and except for a single streak of gray at his left temple, he was as fascinating as ever. He was still leading a strenuous life and his name had been constantly linked with that of the modiste's, Helen Carey, daughter for the last month. I Perhaps, however, it was no more strenuous a life than that of the little dancer, Ruth McGuigan, who was enjoying her fifth honeymoon Cthis time at Nicel. She had name-d Helen Dowdeswell as correspondent 'in her last divorce case, but evidence proved that on the fatal night she had been quite alone. enjoying every move of James Nerrie who starred in The Dreamer's Arms at the Hanninen Theater. Uohanna. Matsunaga was the cashier at the box, being forced to support herself after her husband's desertionj But to continue - Oflicer Strack greeted me with his usual heartiness as I boarded the train.

The furniture was? massive and heavily carved. L-ord Radcliffe, himself, seemed 'exactly fit for such a room. He was a huge man, dressed in the toughest, yet finest, doe-skin breeches and doublet. A large bow was thrown over one shoulder, and a quiver of arrows hung from the wide, strong belt which he wore. if A tall, stately woman hurried forward to greet him. A She was dressed in a long, flowing go-wn of thin white linen, and a veil fell from the back of her head to a point below her shoulders. Soft waves of faded blonde hair framed a face which was no longer young and which bore the traces of many' years. 'fDid you have luck with your hunting to-day, my lord? she inquired eagerly. A WV 'fYes, I killed a fine buck, but I stayed to- speak to Peter, the hermit. Ah, it's a very tedious life he leads, but he is happy. But I am happier here, lord of my own house. V ' H A . AndifIf have news that will make you happier still, my lord. Our son, Roland, is coming home. He will arrive tonight at the ninth hour. 'P Her eyes shone, and she was smiling and eager. i ' A A P A A - We must prepare a feast, Marlaina! Things 'must bemade ready. Ah, it is time he returned: We must make him see that his place is here, in his father's household, and not with every crusade. army that takes a notion to go to Palestine. , , . . . ' v - But the Crusades work fora noble and worthy cause, protested Marla-ina, his wife. , , . 'WVork for? Bah!! They do nothing but provoke quarrels and get them- selves defeated. It is better that he behome. , Lord Radcliffe said this last in a very stormy manner, his temper rising. He was not a man to be opposed. But he is happy, and believes that his duty is in Palestine. We should rejoice thathe is coming home, even if he does not stay, said Lady Radcliffe in an obviously lower voice than she had used before. . '- But he shall stay! I'll see to that. And. Marlaina, seeing that heruhus- band's temper was rising, said no more. V r it 4+ JK- ec- ee ec- -x- ez- Fx- -u- The great hall is lighted with candles. Lord and Lady Radcliffe are dressed very richly and are patiently awaiting the arrival of their son. A bugle is heard. ' ' That must be he! cried Lady .Radcliffe Let us hurry to the tower. We will see hirr . h ' 1 as e comes round the bend at the foot of the hill Lord Radcliffe tried to hide from his wife his emotions and his eagerness to tsele his spln. It was his idea that- a man should not show too much emotion es . - - ' ie e. iought soft hearted and undetermined, however, stern as he was, he loved his son and was very proud of him. . When Roland entered th stretched arms. Lord Radcliffe followed slower, but there was joy his face when he saw his son. 9 hell, Lady Radcliffe ran forward with out- 24 THE CENTRAL FLASH Roland was .veritable spcciincn of manhood. He looked very tall and straight in his shining armor, and the case with which he handled his heavy lance and shield displayed his strength. My son, we arc indeed happy to have you home again, said Lord Rad- cliffe in a strong voice which carried with it ahuskiness of emotion. I Roland and his niothcr talked a great deal. Lady Radcliffe was greatly interested in France and the Orient, while Lord RadcliHe preferred to talk of things about honic and was not greatly interested in the efforts of the Crusades. As 'Roland told his parents of his adventures, he proudly brought forth his shield. HI ani a first-rank Crusader, now, said he. See my Crusader's coat-of- arms on my shield? 'fWhat! Is thc coat-of-arms of t-he house of Radcliffe not go-od enough for the son of a Radcliffe? cried Lord Radcliffe. 'fYou should be proud of being a Radcliffe and content to stay at home. You are the only heir to this castle and the only one to uphold the honor of the family, and then you go risking your life among those murderous Turks. If your mother's and my wishes count for nothing, you should at least consider the fact that you are the last Rad- cliffe. Y Yes, Roland, said Lady Radcliffe, in a much softer Voice than that of her husband, stay home awhile. When I see you ride away, I cannot help thinking that some day you will ride away and never come back. f'The Turks won't stand this interference much longer. S-oo-n they'll rise and kill the whole pack of you trifling Crusaders, stormed Lord Radcliffe. Young Radcliffe, like his father, had a quick temper, which was now rising- quite rapidly. At least, then, he said, I'll die with honor and not rot away in this old castle till I die of old age! I can't stay here and hear you speak so slight- ingly of the Crusades. They are fighting for a holy and noble cause. tWith this he strode quickly out of the room, with Lord Radcl-iffe staring speechless, after him. Nothing more was said of the Crusades until a messenger came, some four days later, with a message for Roland. It was delivered to him just as the family had finished their evening repast. What is this? cried Roland. UI must be off at once! 'There's not a moment to lose! What is it? cried Lady Radcliffe, very excitedly. 'fWhy must you go? Is it another Crusade? asked Lord Radcliffe. Why 11111515 YUU g0?H i Yes Cur King, Richard-the-Lion-Hearted, is leading a Crusade . . ' Must you go so soon? pleaded his mother. Heris my king, and I must go! H A Yes, said Lord Radcliffe, quietly, after reflecting for a moment, he is your king, and you must go, for the honor of the Radcliffesf' p . And so Roland once more joined the Crusades and went to Palestine. -x- -xv af- 4+ -X- 'W' it ff 'X' li Roland was strolling with a comrade among the queer houses and tents in Palestine. They noticed a large tent from which came the high-p1'GChGd 1T1US1C of the Arabians. Z5 THE CENTRAL FLASH What is in that tent? Roland asked of his companion. 'fThere are probably some Arabian dancers in there, replied his companion. f'They go around through the streets, dancing, and people throw them coins. At this moment a man came out of the tent leading four donkeys which pulled a large, rudely-made platform. On this p-latform stood a girl. Why, the girl is not an Arabian! gasped Roland, She is very beautiful. At this moment the Arabian began to cry out to the people in the streets. What is he saying? Roland asked of a guide who stood nearby. ' f'He say that famous Tailouanna, the girl with the hair like gold and eyes the color of the sky, soon she dance, he replied. The Arabian walked through the street, playing a rather tuneless, high- pitched music on a queer horn. Behind him came the platform and behind that came a group of dancing girls. Roland looked -only at the girl, however. She stood almost motionless, staring straight ahead of her. She looked beautiful, but sad. She looks as if life were hard for her, but that she must carry on, whispered Roland to his companion. UI wonder how she ever came to be With th-ose Arabiansf' 5 . At this moment the platform had reached the middle of the market place. The Arabian started to play more loudly on his horn, and the girl began to dance. At Hrst she did not move her feet at all. With her arms above her head, she swayed from side t-o side and jangled the bracelets around her wrists, beating time to the music. Then slowly she began to advance on the platform and from that point on, she danced faster and faster until it was hard to dis- tinguish her movements. The people cheered and threw coins on the platform. Suddenly, in the midst of her whirling, she- stopped, stood motionless, and the plat-form slowly moved on. Roland turned to his companion, and the two strode off in the opposite directions. Finally, Roland spoke: t She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. S-he doesn't seem to fit in with those other Arabiansf' f'0ne sees strange things in Palestine, said his comrade. She seems famous here as a dancer. Her name, Tailouanna, seems to create a sensation. It is to-o bad for her that she is so beautiful. a Turk will pay a big price for her, and she will be carried off to the desert and never be heard of again. But come, we must get back to camp. The two continued on their way to camp. Somehow, though, Roland could not dismiss the girl from his mind.

He had been, hit rather badly on the head during the battle and had lost a great deal of blood. His thou ht T I ff . g s were 'very much confused. It was a great attack .... what would his father think, now that he was wounded ..... 'murderous' T l h l d ur is, e ia Sfud, .... 'trifling Crusaders'. He groaned, but stopped in the middle of the 26 THE CENTRAL FLASH groan to stare in amazement at the doorway. There stood the girl. She was wrapped in an Arabian blanket and was talking to the officers, , ff ..... then I awoke and found myself lying on some blankets in the Arabian's tent. They would not tell me how I got there. But they do tell me that I am English. Tailouanna is the only name I know for myself. But I am English, and you are English, so you will help me, yes? The girl spoke in a soft voice with just a few irregularities in her speech and a slight accent. Roland heard it clearly enough, but a drowsiness overtook him, and he sank into a heavy stupor. When he awoke, Tailouanna was beside him, bath- ing his forehead with cool water. They looked at each other for a few minutes without speaking. Then Roland said. 1 A 'fYour name is Tailouanna? .- That is what I am called, she replied, slowly, hesitantly. I do not know my true name. 4I saw you dance yesterday, said Roland. And I saw you, she replied. ' But how could you? You didn't look at anyone. I Ah, yes, I saw you, and I was glad., I was glad to see 'one of my country- men. You liked my dance? 4 A f'Yes, very much, replied Ro-land. Then, after a moment. You'are very beautiful. - Oh! cried the girl, surprised, why ..... I' The-n she smiled. I have heard others tell me that, but I thought it was because I was different from the Arabian girl. An Englishman has never said that to me before , And so they talked, for a long, long time. ' I it ii- 9? 66 96 99 9? it 4+ 'X '. Lord Radcliffe, Lady Radcliffe, and another nobleman were-seated at the long table in the great hall of the Radcliffe Castle. The nobleman had just returned from Palestine and was telling his host and hostess about the latest doings there. A messenger entered and handed a piece of tightly-rolled parch- ment to Lord Radcliffe. Lord Radcliffe unrolled it and read it. He wassilent for a minute. I ' ' What is it? asked Lady Radcliffe. Down in Palestine, our son has met a very .beautiful English girl, whom he wishes to bring h-ome as his wife. His wife gasped,.but Lord. Radcliffe continued in a very queer voice, It is strange. He said she was English, yet her name is Tailouanna. I-Ie wants our consent. I I am glad, Iam glad, said Lady RadcliHe. What matters her name? I'm 'sure she is good if our son has chosen her, and now he'll be home, for good. Yes, I am glad, too, said Lord Radcliffe. t Did you say her name was Tailouanna? demanded their guest. Yes. It is strange. Is it not? said, Lord Radcliffe. . - . Stranger than you think. Tailouanna may be English. Yes, but she is dances an the streets of Palestine with some Arabians. She is a dancer who , but she is not the kinda son of a famous for her beauty and her dancing, o U 7 ' . nobleman would choose for his WIIG., 27 THE. CENTRAL FLASH At these words Lady Radcliffe went pale, and Lord Radcliffe jumped up. If that is true, he shall never have my consent, he roared. That a Radcliffe should marry a common dancer of the streets is more than I can under- stand. It must not be. He turned to a servant. Pen, ink, and some parch- ment. Quickly. I must answer the message. . What are you going to say? asked Lady Radcliffe in a low voice. Maybe this Tailouanna is all right, even if she is a dancer. What! You think he should marry her? said Lord Radcliffe. Noi I shall make it clear to him that if he marries that street dancer, he will never be welcome in my house again. - The parchment was given to the messenger who started at once for Palestine. Several weeks later Roland arrived home. One could tell by the appearance of his horse and himself that he had come a long way, and that no time had been wasted on the journey. Roland went straight to his father to eX- plain matters. When Lady Radcliffe arrived on the scene, Roland had just about convinced his father that Tailouanna was worthy enough to enter the Radcliffe family. Why, Roland, she cried. ' 'fOh, Mother, said Roland, f'I've just been telling Father of Tailouanna. She isn't a street-dancer. It is true, she is famous for her dancing, but she does it because the Arabians make her. When she was a child, she was stolen by some Turks, and she lived up in the mountains with an old Turkish farmer and his wife. Cine night they drugged her, and the Arabs took her to- Palestine. She was under their rule, completely. You understand, Mother. Don't you? f'Yes, I understand. But where is she now? 4 I left her with an old Spanish woman in the mountains in Spain. She is waiting for me. f'Yes, son, said Lord Radcliffe in a tone much softer than he usually used, bring her home. She will be welcome in your father's house. 'I' -If 'X' -76 'X' if -ll' if' -H' 'I' as Roland came around the last curve of the rough, mountain-path, he saw the little house. He cried, Tailouanna! He waited a moment. Then he called again. There was no answe ing the house. Where is Tailouanna? he demanded. The woman seemed uneasy but said after a mfinute: She run away .... She have wish to make dance again ..... I no could stop her, senorf' Roland was astounded. He could say nothing. Instead, he ran into the small cottage and searched every corner, calling her name incessantly. Finally, he was able to control himself. Didn't she leave any message? he demanded. No, Senor. Where did she go? r. He saw the old S-panish wo-man approach- I do not know, she go at night.', 'fVVhere is the nearest village. I must find lodgings for the night. That way, she replied pointing. It is near. Roland rode Off, thinking. He was brokenhearted to think that she -had 28 THE CENTRAL FLASH run away back to Palestine, perhaps, to dance -on the streets. He came to the small mountain inn and engaged a night's lodging. After he had his horse cared for, he went to his room. There, he kept thinking of Tailouanna. At about midnight he heard a knock on his door. It was a young boy who said, Senor, queek! The old woman, she must- see you! Her heart go bad, but she must see you before she die. Roland hurried to the cottage of the old woman. 'fWhat is it you wish to tell me? he asked her. Ah, seior, ..... I must tell you ..... the girl ..... she no runaway .... the Arabs, .... they come at night, and take her . . . , gasped the woman. V Why didn't you tell me t-hat before? he demanded. 'fBecause, seiior .... Ah, Mon Dios! . . ,. . . I have fraid . . you tell me to watch her .... and they take her .... the Arabs . . I . . I have fraid .... The old woman sighed and said no more. Roland's thoughts were confused, but he knew one thing. He must find her. But where? Palestine? No, that was too far. Which way should he go? He hadn't the slightest idea. However, he mounted his horse and rode down the mountain path the way he had come the previous day. He rode for the re- mainder of the night. At dawn he had almost reached the valley. By the first rays of the sun, he was astounded to see a horse and rider coming toward him. He saw it was an Arab, and he prepared himself for battle. With his shield held in front- of him, and his lance ready, he galloped toward his foe. A shriek from the rider made him sto-p a moment, and he saw with joy that the rider was Tailouanna, disguised as an Arab. He took her in his arms and held her close. ' It's all right now, he told her. You're coming home with me, and you'll never go back to Palestine. And the two rode away, facing the sunrise and happiness. A I Ruth H ynd.

Just before Easter they made Easter cards and menu cards for the disabled veterans at Northport. They're worth their salt! .

The girls have traveled far and wide over this Long Island of ours, carrying with them the songs and praises for Our Old High . Out of a group of about fifteen members, eight have come through with their three hundred and fifty miles. This is quite remarkable considering the weather we have had during the past winter. These girls have made a good, though rather unobtrusive, showing and are looking forward to a bigger and better club next year. The officers are Margaret Luca, president, Helen Dowdeswell, vice- president, and Helen Carey, secretary.

THANK YOU! The editor would like to take this opportunity to thank several people for their invaluable aid in putting out this issue. First, I wish to thank Miss Sly for the co-operation she has shown us during the past, second, I would like to thank Patricia Giamerese for starting the Flash off on a successful, new basis. We greatly ap-preciate the time and effort that Vincent Riddick and Lois Corwin have spent on the two new cuts published in this issue. They have started us on the road to bigger and bet-ter cuts. Winfield Boerchel, our advertising manager, is deserving of much praise for the way in which he has helped supply the financial end of this publication. Without the aid of these people, it would have been quite impossible to publish this paper. Again I say, Thank you! ' 32 THE CENTRAL FLASH y . MUSIC DEPARTMENT For the third time this year the music department has s-cored another tri- umph, first, the operetta, then the band concert, and now the musicale. The hundreds who thrilled to those first two great successes found new enjoyment at the musicale given May 28 in our auditorium. Mr. Smith combined a program of the lat-est popular numbers with the ever-beautiful classics. The dance or- chestra played hotter than ever, and the symphony orchestra iiuently interpreted the classics. A one-act operetta entitled 'fThe Nifty Shop was presented by the Junior High School Cflee Club and completed the evening's entertainment. Mr. Smith has shown again how to give sure-fire hits consistently. Although our music department is only two years old, I'm sure that everyone will agree that it has accomplished unusual things.

We wish to thank them for their amusing program of songs. They are old friends of Central and are always welcome. THE A. A. DANCE ' The annual dance, sponsored by the Athletic Association, was held in the latter part of March. The people who spent the day decorating felt well repaid for the blisters and plastered fingers when they saw the crowd that turned out to see the results of their toil. This dance drew the largest crowd of any dance this year. The only part of the gym that wasn't decorated was the ceiling, and if it had been easy to reach, it, too, would probably have been covered with streamers and pennants. Entertainment between the dances was provided by Helen Mearns, Ruth McC1uigan, Moya Olsen, and the three Hart brothers. Refreshments could be obtained throughout the course of the evening at a booth taken care of by the ladies of the cafeteria. Edith Chvatal. 33 THE.

Among the many new conveniences in the high school, we have a cafeteria supervised by Miss Vickland, who besides worrying about what a hungry student should or should not eat, has conducted a class of general science. To Miss Hileman, who took Mr. Sparrow's place, was left the task of filling some freshman's brain cavity with biological matter. Miss Wilklow was the only addition to our commercial department. She helped Mrs. Raynor, Miss Erickson, and Miss Chrisman manage the commer- cial department. Although Miss Mosso spent most of her leisure time directing class plays, and Miss Sly spent hers advising the staff of the Flash , with Mrs. Hillegas to lend a helping hand, 'fMacbeth , Hamlet , and HJulius Caesar were easily conquered and put away to be reviewed the eve before Regents. To Miss Henry and Miss Winslow was left the task of struggling through the chaos of quadratic equations, arit-hmetical progressions, logarithms, and various other difliculties along the same line. How well they succeeded is shown conclusively by the number of students who passed their mathematics this year. The most interesting, yet probably the most difficult- department of the high school course, is the language department. Students cannot realize how dis- agreeable a language class can be, for we have no such in our high school. Whether your trouble be The Three Musketeers or Cicero, you will soon find that they are no troubles at all, for at one word of explanation from Miss Harff, Miss Hanford, or Miss Givler they are gone-forever. No introduction is necessary to the Art department under Miss DuBois. The posters which were drawn for the various events held here are suflicient proof of the activity of that group. Nothing more than has already been said can be added to the praises of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their fine music department. It would take pages just to express part of it. And think of what a waste of time it would be when you already know how fine it is. It will be easier to show our appreciation by continuing to back Mr. Smith in his next year's program. Historical questions are a thing of the past with Mr. McAllister's and Mr. Stuartfs explanation of Marshal Foch's They shall not passll' Another new department has been organized by Mr. Mathewson. Many boys are keeping a period free on their next year's program to include shop. Miss DuBois was ably succeeded by Miss Headings who reigns supreme in the library, where students are content to sit by the hour, studying or just just reading as the case may be. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Williamson have charge of what to the students means the most important part of the school-the gym. They are responsible for the bulging muscles of the boys and the lack of prosperit-y among the druggists-for the girls are rapidly discarding their school girl complexions for the genuine article. Another person responsible for the healthy red cheeks in 34 THE CENTRAL FLASH i our midst is Miss Runner, the school nurse, who has administered ma-ny a dose of bicarbonate to achieve them. As the number of students grew, so did the list of tardy people. Hence it was found necessary to have another girl in the office whose job it was to hand out tardy slips. This position, among others, was capably filled through the entire year by Miss Raeder. Although Hazel has lost no weight ringing the bell until every one is here, she no doubt has plenty of other work to occupy her time. Still another course, home economics, will be introduced to the students next year by Miss Massie, who will succeed Miss Vickland as cafeteria super- visor. So capably has the Junior High School been managed during the past year by the present faculty, that few additions will be found on next year's list-. The mathematics department will be increased by one additional member, namely Miss Simpson g- the history department by Miss Mills, the art department by Miss Holbrook, the music department will be turned over to Miss Powers. The present faculty includes Miss Blackburn, Miss Daly, Miss T rainor, Miss VVright, Miss Miller, Mrs. Field, Miss Forcey, Mr. Munger, Mr. Kenyon, Miss Metcalf, and Miss Worth. Patricia Giamerese. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST On March 18-, one fluttering heart was in the audience and seven on the stage in our auditorium. That first heart belonged t-o Miss Mosso and the other seven to seven of our finest. It was the big night. The Valley Stream orator was to be cho-sen. Who was to be the winner? Although the girls were mighty tired of hearing the word Constitution, they all struggled through. Cur seven finest were Helen Dowdeswell, our f'Pepsodent Pat, Maggie Miller, Martie Karr, Nima Sparling, Cookie'? Krugman, and Markie- Luca. Martie came through with the prize for the written essay, and Helen brought home the ba-con for t-he oral one. Her fine The Constitution is like a ship thrilled everyone. He-lenand Martie were each awarded a check for ten dollars. Some time later, during an assembly period, Mr. Cross presented Helen with a bronze medal. Pat, Cookie, and Martie received copies of 'fThe Constitution of the United States with the compliments of the New York Times. Margaret Luca. HO-NOR SOCIETY For a long time back, the only dist-inctions awarded students of the Valley Stream Central High School have been athletic. These have been in the form of letters, numerals, and sometimes gold footballs, or basketballs. Scholarship, school service, etc., have never received recognition in any form or manner. A nation-wide organization, chartered, and executed by the educational systems of forty-eight states and with memberships qualified and awarded uniformly, has been formed. It takes into consideration the average student, but awards only the highest 15-75 of the Senior Class and 10? of the Junior Class, chosen on a basis of scholastic record. However, scholastic ability is not the sole requisite. Character, popularity, and school service count. 'The award is a gold pin which becomes the property of the student after graduation. This 35 THE CENTRAL FLASH organization, called the National Honor Society, has been set up in both the Senior and Junior high schools as local chapters. The formation of a Valley Stream Chapter is being made possible by the G. O. Victor N. Tompkins.. SUNDAY AFTERNOON Joe Brown, Sr., his wfife Sylvia, his daughter Rose, and Joe Brown, Jr. left the house on Tudor Lane in a broken-down Ford. Mrs. Brown was known for her back-seat driving. In fact, so necessary was the Missus that if she weren't in the back seat, Mr. Brown would surely have a head-on collision with another car. Mrs. Brown reigned both in the h-ouse and outside. Mrs. Brown and Junior sat in the back seat, and Rose sat in the front seat with her father. The family had to wave Goodbye to everyone in the neighborhood. Before they could get out of sight of Tudor Lane, Mrs. Brown's arms were almost paralyzed. Dear, remarked Mrs. Brown, 'fyou almost hit that dog. I was only trying to see how near I could come to it without hurting it, answered her husband. Oh, Mal screeched Rose, make Junior stop pulling my hair. Junior promptly got a crack on his ear for such behavior. When the family arrived home late S-unday night with burnt fingers and grimy hands and faces, Mrs. Brown was still boss of the house, and her husband was meeker than ever. Junior and Rose were still arguing as to which of the two was the owner of a little- toy found in the grass by t-heir mother. Monday morning when Mrs. Brown was home alone, she called across the back yard to Mrs. Cohen who was hanging out her daily wash. 'fAnd as I was saying, Mrs. Cohen, declared Mrs. Brown emphatically, we had a lovely time. Rose and Junior are such dears. 'They get along splendidlyf' ------f- Ruth Voorhees. A VERY BAD DOGGIE I've been a very bad doggie today. I've chased a kitten or two, And then I frightened an old white hen 'Til she didn't know what to do.

SUMMER AND VVINTER I sat beneath an apple tree To dream of a summer's day, And watch the birds and clouds go by And smell the new-mown hay. It only seemed a day ago r That I sat here to dream. With Winter's ice and all its snow How different it all seems! William Kennedy. 36 g TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH r . llilll-lllilllllillll llllilllll lmrmnwllllllk These are sad days indeed for the athletic department of Central. It is necessary for us to bid good-bye foreverw to several of the boys whose names have been synonymous with teams wearing the blue and white. Among those who will never again wear the striped jersey are the following: Swede Buteau-For three years the man mountain has made life miserable for gridiron opponents as all-scholastic choice for tackle and, in the last year, all-scholastic end. For three years he has been the best punter and placement kicker in these yere parts . As guard one year and all-scholasti-c center for two years, he has played basketball auspiciously. For the past two years he has led the league in scoring and led the bunch of '28-'29 as its ca.ptain. In track he has run the relays and the dashes and heaved the shot for his letters. Not only is he noted in the above sports, but he is a brawny, bronzed life-guard for the state during the beeyootiful summertime. Swede has an athletic scholarship to Manhattan. . No less noted is Jim Nerrie. Whitey V has played four years of football. For two ye-ars as a tackle he made -comfortable holes for his backiield. For two more years he played center, during which time he was chosen all-scholastic and all-co-unty stonewall . He captained the team of '28. Three years he played the noble game of basketball as an honorably-mentioned if pugnacious guard. In base-ball he played the garden for two years. Jimmy will go to Cortland also on an athletic sch-olarship. Ano-ther eminent party to depart fperhapsb is Red Schmidt. Red has worked heart and soul for the Blue and White on three teams. Way back in '26-'27 he played basketball. For three years he has received passes and played a fine game at end. He will be remembered for his 95 yard run at Greenport, his lateral pass runs, and his ability to catch passes. In tra-ck he putted the shot and ran the four-forty . He may have duck feet, but he can step, and th-ose broad shoulders mean something in the shot-put. . Among the less-eminent luminaries to depart are Ken and Bill Duncan, the 37 THE CENTRAL FLASH l famous Rupp Brothers. They are basketball fiends of no mean ability, and one of them, Bill, played baseball in '28, Freddy De-Bold, a letterman in football in '28, basketball in '27-'28, and baseball '28, is another to bid goodbye to- his 'falmuh tomata. , Bo-b Clark, football '29, Hanninen, football '28-5 Pretzels Russel, baseball '26, '27, and '28, and Vic Tompkins, baseball '29'and '30, are joining the throng of alumni who retain only memories of sports funless t-hey were clever enough to swipe a ball, a pair of half-sox, a jersey, or a capj. Coa-ch Kennedy has so built his teams, however, that while he may miss these athletes, he still has a team worthy to- carry on the traditions. These boys unite in giving their best wishes for success and fame for the Blue and White teams, and the students respond with a fo-nd farewell and hopes for a happy future to its grads. V There is also on the graduating list so-me female talent. Aggie Kiesel, the versatile basketball player, leaves behind her three years of experience. In '27-'28 she was chosen all-scho-lastic guard. In '28-'29 she played a speedy game at guard and then proved 'he-r ability in '29-'30 by playing for- ward, guard, and center as the sityation demanded. She captained that team, and folks have little to say to the contrary that Kiesel is the best basketball player that Central has ever had. In track she sprinted like a boy and was ass-ociated with the teams of '29 and '30. Rita Edwards is another who has been as prominent in athletics as in other functions. She has played guard for two years and played it so well that it will be difficult to replace her when the next season sprouts up. Berenice Buteau is still another versatile court performer who carried the burden of side-cent-er for three years on the varsity with credit far less than she deserved. To the cheer leading ranks are lost Flo McDowell and Ruth McGuigan who will never again raise the roof with the locomotive. TRACK The cinders all but burned again in the past track season. Diligent and measured pra-ctice pro-duced a bunch well-fitted to wear the skimpy track suits. We can well be proud of the gang that ran, leaped, putted, hurdled, and vaulted for us. To date of script they have entered in only one meet, that with La Salle Military Academy. There is little to say, but plenty to' predict. They will prove their worth in meets with Baldwin and Lynbrook. The personnel of the bunch is: Sprintersg Buteau, Davison, Wood, Hether- ington, and Carey. Chicken-pox robbed us of a versatile man in Z-itriok. Milers- Barquinero, fwho by the way will be county champ judging by his past perform- ancel and Russel. Half-milers-Speed and Matsunaga. Quarter-milers-Von Gerichten, Boufher, and Tompkins. Many of the above-mentioned take part in two or more events. The high jump has Krause, the pole vault, Logan and 38 THE CENTRAL FLASH Lambersong the shot put, 'fManeater Wohlgemuth, and the hurdles, Christenson and Strack. ' This, friend, is the picturization of as husky a plunging line and as fast a smooth-working back field as has ever Worn the shoulder pads. 'These trick horses have set a pre-cedent and have made football history for Central High. You who read this can gaze with pride on the champions of Class A in their first year in its ranks. Let this record stand as a shining example to be upheld in honor. H LETTERMEN: Capt. Harry Zitrick, Manager, Izzy Kamenstein, Jim Nerrie, Bill Gaddis, Bob Biersack, Emanuel Maneater VVohlgemuth, Bill Buteau, Bob Henderson, Red Schmidt, P'etel' Schmidt, Bus Geiger, Gene Gibbons, Dan Cronin, Joe Logan, Vin Riddick, Bud Schilo, and Bob Clark. ft. 523' ' I lf' 3 03 ?. 39 4 TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH foKE5 M otherf Billy, why do you look so worried?

My wife wanted to go butter dress wasn't good enough. The boss said I was a butter-in. At the baseball game the umpire said, Butter out. When I reported at the office this morning the boss said, I see you are early of late, and I replied. Yes, I used to be behind before. What's the use? Jimmy: I have a chance for the track team.
