A FAMILIAR SCENE IN CENTRAL’S LIBRARY

.MR. WARD
To the Class of 1927
The best thing about Life is living. For you about to step forward one more
pace into the greater Life ahead, all of us who have been so much concerned
for you wish only that you may live as zestfully, as joyfully, as honestly as you
have lived during your days with us. We hope for you that every day may see
for you a good day’s work, well done. We believe in Youth, and its essential
goodness. We have faith that what you have done, and what we have tried to
do for you, will bear its fruit in due season, in greater usefulness to your city
and your nation, and in greater happiness to yourselves. May our faith be
proven by your lives. [ (7 WARD

MR. CRONINGER
We have only one purpose in all this school organization, in all this equipment,
in all the discipline, in all the..books, in all the lessons, in all the extra-curricular
activities and that is to prepare you who study here for a better citizenship.
If we have aided or encouraged you to be more thrifty, to have gained more
wisdom, to be able to appreciate more your country, your spiritual inheritance
and your duty to each other; we are glad for we then know we have accom-
plished that wrhich we set out to do.

MISS LEWIS
The class of 1927 will soon record four happy years in its book of Memory.
As you leave Central High School there are three requests I wish to make of
you. One is that you remember that whatever ypfl do may bring credit or dis-
credit to the teachings you have received here, and that we are watching your
success with interest.
The second is that we ask you to play the game of life squarely even though
you lose.
The last is that you look for your pleasures in the little things that comprise
the daily routine of living. There is no safer road to happiness.
ANNA B. LEWIS

MISS CHAPIN
Little need be said about this woman who has served us so faithfully during
our four years at high school. She has not served only us, however, but she
has helped many of our predecessors for a number of years.
Whenever we lose something we seek Miss Chapin, when we wish to tele-
phone we seek Miss Chapin, when we lose our locker keys we seek Miss Chapin,
and when we want our programs changed, again it’s Miss Chapin we seek. One
can hardly imagine a day at school without some aid from this helpful woman.
We all hope sincerely that she will be at Central for years to come and that
our younger brothers and sisters will appreciate the thoughtful attention she
will give them.

English Department
The study of English falls into two groups—literature and composition.
Literature gives one a desire to read good things and appreciate them. In
our four year course, we become acquainted with the different styles of writing,
such as fiction, biographies, essays, short stories, dramas, classics, and poetry.
Outside reading plays an important part in this course, although most of the out-
side reading is offered as an outside-of-school activity.
Composition, or grammar, is studied for the purpose of learning to use
language as a tool in the expression of our ideas. With the aid of this a pupil
learns to speak correctly and fluently.
It is the aim of the department to have the pupil get an elementary appre-
ciation of good books, and an accurate use of our language.

Language Department
For literary pupils who desire to enter the foreign fields in later years, and
for those who wish a better and more thorough understanding of the origin of
their own language, this department offers a complete fundamental course in
Latin, French, Spanish, and German. With the aid of any of these languages,
a pupil may add to his field of knowledge, since many valuable books are found
written only in the original, and since by translation the purpose and real mean-
ing of the book may be lost. Even the required course, which is two years,
gives the pupil a passing knowledge of these foreign languages.
History Department
Our history course covers a period of three years, during which we enjoy
a comprehensive study of “modern times and the living past.” The study is
pursued from the ancient times up to the economic and civic development of
the present era. Our mental capacity in this line of work is broadened by
doing outside reading pertaining to historical facts, and by making maps relat-
ing to various historical events.
This department strives to make us understand the importance of knowing
the most outstanding events that took place in years gone by, and compare
them with those of the present.

Commercial Department
The commercial course prepares the pupils for their debut into the business
world.
The entire four years are given to the study of business necessities.
Commercial arithmetic and simple bookkeeping are taught the first year. The
second year plunges one into a sea of trial balances, general journals, bills of
lading, and all the other work of a true bookkeeper. Typing and shorthand
are taught thoroughly the third year. The last year the typing and the short-
hand are continued. Letters are transcribed at certain rates, tvping teams
are formed to compete against each other, and speed tests are taken for awards.
The last part of the year is a laboratory course, and deals with comptometers,
listing machines, mimeographs, and dictaphones.
It is the earnest endeavor of this department to make each boy and girl
capable of doing the work expected with real joy, loyalty, and willingness.

Vocational Department
The theme of ‘‘future occupation” runs parallel to the work performed in
the vocational department. The name ‘‘vocational” gives a clear foresight on
the subjects dealt with here. The main subjects under observation are printing
and electricity. The department strives to provide a suitable training for those
occupations, or vocations, which interest the pupils most, and hopes to give
them a more thorough knowledge of their trade so they can make their debut
into the business world, feeling that they are masters of their trade. We feel
that Central has a very complete vocational department. She has sent a great
number of trade masters out of her shops.
Some of the finished products of the Printing Department are the Spotlight,
all posters for plays, activities and athletic events.
The part time courses worked out with factories in the city have been a great
step forward in the vocational courses.

Home Economics Department
Home economics is a subject which centers around the home. It includes
the study of food and clothing viewed from the standpoint of hygiene, economics,
and art.
In the study of food, the work arranges itself around such interests as varie-
ties of foods and their sources, food values, meal planning, preparation of foods,
and table sendee.
Selection of clothing, which includes a study of textiles from the consumers'
point of view, art principles as applied to dress, and the construction and care of
clothing, compose the main objectives in the clothing classes.
The goal toward which this department is striving, is to njake each girl realize
her responsibilities in the future, and to have her strive toward the ideals of
initiative, honesty, and courtesy.

Physical Education
Physical education is required only in the first year, but four years of it may
be taken. Twice a week the pupils go into our gymnasium to exercise and to
play games, such as basketball, indoor baseball, and volley ball. Many exer-
cises are practised, and much time is spent on the posture. Tests are given in
regard to posture, neatness of the “gym suit," and the ability to obey the com-
mands of the instructor with alacrity and promptness. Sometimes the class is
divided into teams, and these compete in the various games.
This department strives to keep the pupils’ bodies fit, and teach them the
value of physical education.

Of 1927
Gbc Caldron
Our mother Central
’T was in the year of twenty-three
On the steps of Central High
There stood six hundred little frosh,
So timid and so shy!
Good Mother Central saw them there
And threw her portals wide.
She lifted up a beckoning hand
And called them to her side.
Unhesitatingly they came.
Six hundred—one and all.
They followed Central up the steps
Into her lofty hall.
In Mother Central’s home they stayed
Four long, but happy years.
They found encouragement for their hopes,
Sympathy for their fears.
No, Central failed not in her trust.
She led them safely ’long,
And with a firm but gentle voice
She taught them right from wrong.
And now she sends them forth from her
Into a great, wide world.
They sally out, happy and proud,
With banners gay unfurled.
And Central stands back in the gloom,
And watches them go by;
And, seeing their great confidence,
She breathes a wistful sigh.
For she has seen others march forth;
Has heard their tramping feet.
She knows the hardships they must share,
The crises they must meet.
Now, Seniors who are setting out,
Prove to her this one thing;
That all her efforts and her toils
Their deserved reward will bring.
Though you may not win glory; no, •
Nor even lasting fame,
At least you can, each one of you,
Bring honor to her name.
She’s taught you how to fight the “Fight;”
She’s showed you what to do;
She s given you a chance to win;
The rest is up to you!

Athletic Board
Control of athletics at Central is in the hands of the following group of people:
Fred H. Croninger, principal; Charles Dilts, faculty manager of athletics; Mark
Billsand Murray Mendenhall, coaches; the Misses Hilda Schwehn and Elsie
Mott, directors of physical education for girls; and Miss Hazel Hawkins, advisor
of the Booster Club.
The board of control determines the athletic policies of the school, makes the
awards of letters and sweaters at the close of the season for each sport, and has
charge of any special honors or trophies, such as the blankets, which are to be
presented for outstanding prowess displayed in sports.
One of the many duties of Mr. Croninger, as principal, is to certify all students
who take part in athletic contests. He also has charge of sectional and regional
basketball tournaments as well as sectional track meets. During the past ten
years he has missed but few games, either at home or out-of-town.
Mr. Dilts, a new man as faculty manager this year, has handled the affairs
of this position with the same capable and thorough effectiveness that he does
his chemistry classes. Ticket sales, scheduling games, and handling financial
matters, all come within the province of his work. No bit of work is too trifling
for his consideration, if the welfare of the teams is concerned.
Miss Hawkins has general charge of all the things that the Booster Club
does to advance athletics. The work of her organization includes: decorating
the gym or field, sales at the games, and social affairs for the letter men.
We are all agreed that each member of the athletic board of control has
e ciently managed the particular part of the athletic work that has come within
his province.

COACH MARK BILLS
Football and Baseball
Did you ever notice that sturdily built, dark-eyed fellow who
goes smilingly about at Central? Well, that’sCoach Bills. Perhaps
the best way to judge a person is to get the opinion of those
who know him and realize his ability to handle difficult situ-
ations that arise. Those Central students who have worked
with Mark in football and baseball are unanimous in declaring
him especially competent for leadership in sports. It takes a
real leader of men to go through such a season as Central exper-
ienced in football last year and still keep his players keyed up
to the fighting pitch. Mark is a leader—a decisive one, who
knows the game, who realizes its possibilities, and who develops
his players accordingly.
Last spring’s baseball season was a fitting climax to a success-
ful athletic year, for Central lost but one game out of fourteen.
Much of this success must be attributed to the mentor who
coached the team so ably. He is not only known for his ability
as an athlete and a coach, but also for the fine baritone voice
which he possesses.
Seienty-jour
1500 s motto, as he went about the gridiron, the leader oi the team, seem-
ed to be “Say it with action.’’ Always a dependable player and possessing
the confidence of his team-mates at all times, he made the kind of captain
of which Central can long be proud. As a player in three sports, the cap-
taincy of football in his senior year was a fitting tribute to his athletic prowess.
Alumni 0—Central 0
September 18
With the weatherman providing a day bet-
ter suited for a swimming match than a gridiron
contest, the former wearers of the Blue and
White fought the varsity to a scoreless tie. The
Alumni were represented by a galaxy of former
Tiger stars. In the last quarter the Tigers be-
gan a brilliant drive which carried the ball within
a few feet of the goal, only to be stopped by
the stonewall defense of the Alumni.

LaPorte 6—Central 3
September 25
For the second game of the season Coach Bills
travelled with his proteges to LaPorte, where a hard
and closely contested game was lost to the Slicers.
Repeating its forward passing attack of the year
before, LaPorte again outnosed Central by a narrow
margin. During the second half both teams settled
down to real work, and the ball see-sawed back and
forth with both squads fighting desperately to clinch
the game. At one time the Tigers were within two
yards of the coveted goal, but an incomplete pass
behind the line gave the enemy the ball. The Tigers
seemed to be a bit off form and they were unable
to stem tRe^tide of their strong opponents at critical
times in the game.

Bluffton 0—Central 12
October 1
A re-arranged lineup met Bluffton in the mud
of the stadium and emerged therefrom with two
touchdowns as the winner’s share of the spoils.
The Wells County squad opened up an aerial
attack to cross the expanse of mud. This was
short-lived, for Marshall snagged a pass and
raced forty-five yards for Central’s first touch-
down of the season. In the last quarter Cen-
tral succeeded in taking the ball down the field,
and, by the forward pass route, chalked up six
more points. A fair crowd witnessed this game
in spite of the fact that Father Pluvius was
threatening to release a deluge at any minute.

With the score tied at seven-all during tlic
greater part of the game. Central in the last
quarter smashed through her opponent’s line
for another touchdown and victory. Central
employed the aerial method to gel the ball
down the field, and both scores came as a result
of passes across the goal line. Cummins of
Columbia City kept the Tigers guessing as he
intermingled passes and runs. Jasper and Bill-
ingsley' proved to be the scoring machine for
Central. A large and enthusiastic crowd, in-

had been invited by the Booster Club, attended

October 16
Playing a mediocre brand of foolball, the Blue and
While tasted defeat for the second time of the year.
In the first quarter Bash dropped upon a blocked
punt back of Decatur’s goal line for Central's lone
score. In the third quarter the Yellow Jackets
smashed the Blue and While line for a touchdown
after a number of plunges and one successful pass.
Toward the very end of the game an intercepted
pass gave the Yellow Jackets a six point victory.

JAMES BRITTIN
Student Manager of Athletics
“Jimmy” was that efficient student manager of athletics, who always crept
up and down the Central stairs with such “gentle” footsteps. Always on hand
at every game and practice session, he was the man who looked after the equip-
ment of all kinds and saw to it that none was lost. Nothing was too hard or
trifling for him to do if it spelled the welfare of the team. No one will ever
forget how he chased foul balls that went over the fence, how efficiently he
carried water to perspiring gridiron players, and how he used to give the hard-
wood boys rub-downs. Endowed with a keen sense of humor and a pleasing
personality, he has enlivened many a trip with his own peculiar brand of humor.
As managers go, “Jimmy” has been by far the most faithful that Central has
known in recent years. To be a follower and, in a sense, a lackey, for those who
have the honor of playing the game, and to do this in such a way that he has
won the commendation of students, players, and coaches, is what has been ac-
complished by this loyal follower of the Blue and White.

MURRAY MENDENHALL
COACH
Ba
“Mendy’” ii
who directs the school's efforts iu the hardwood and cinder con-
tests. Like Bills he is coaching for his third year at Central
and has had phenomenal success with teams in both sports for
which he is primarily responsible. He is an athlete who not
only knows the game, but understands thoroughly how to im-
part this knowledge to aspiring novices. Since “Mendy” has
had the Blue and White basketball team under his tute-
lage, this sport has been given a new impetus in our school.
For three consecutive years he has developed a track team
that has captured the honors in the sectional track meet. This
certainly proves that “he knows his stuff” in this branch of
sports.
The reputation of this man as a player and coach was not
unknown to us before his arrival here three years ago. That
his selection as a coach has been no mistake has been more than
ably demonstrated by the results achieved during this time.
Here’s to you, “Mendy.”

PAUL JASPER
Captain of Basketball
“Mutt” is that lengthy wearer of the coveted “C,” who
has majored in sports and popularity, and has graduated
with the King trophy. Four years in football, three in base-
ball, and three in basketball is the record over which this
versatile athlete can look back as the years come and go.
He will leave a place that will be hard to fill by some future
player. Whole teams made up of such players would be a joy
to the hearts of coaches. In football his playing at end was
as outstanding as that of any Central player in recent years.
In baseball he held down the first sack in an admirable man-
ner, for he was able to grab any fly from high in the air and
could field a great deal of territory. In basketball he has out-
jumped and out-maneuvered many a worthy opponent.
“Mutt” has been a very great favorite among Central students
during his entire four years with us, and for this reason every-
one was especially pleased when he was chosen to pilot the
net eagers during his senior year.

The Season Opens
Central’s basketball prospects were fairly good when
the season opened. Jasper and Ramsey were the only
two veterans left of last year’s squad, but we also
had last season’s reserves. Coach Mendenhall soon
had a squad of ten men that were full of the fighting
spirit of Central. The final games of the season proved
how well the Blue and White could perform.
Central’s basketball season opened with a journey to
Marion, where the state champs were held to a 37-29
victory. In this early season game the Tigers showed
up well, despite the Giant’s victory.
On the following night, Rochester breezed into the
Tiger camp and the Zebras returned to their own lair
with a game won by a margin of 31-26.

In a game at Bluffton the Blue and White netters bowed to the Bluffton
Tigers, 48-32.
A second game with Hartford City was played here. In this contest the
Tigers lasted the sweets of victory and revenge for a former game of the season.
The game ended 23-19.
Auburn’s quintet was completely outclassed by the Tiger machine which
smothered them beneath a score of 51-27.
Meeting the crack Kendallville five on their own floor, Central’s team ex-
hibited such a fine style of basketball that this much touted team was over-
come by a 39-27 margin.
In a contest at Newcastle, where Mendy formerly coached, the Trojans nosed
out a win by the close count of 29-28.
From a hard fought game at Warsaw the Blue eagers returned with another
scalp tucked under their belt. This meant a 40-30 defeat for Warsaw.
An easy victory of 54-17 was chalked up to the credit of Mendy’s eagers at
the expense of Warren.
Monticello's mediocre playing caused them to fall before the Tiger attack
and to carry home the short end of a 38-21 score.
In the greatest game of the season the Emerson team of Gary clashed with
our Tigers. As the game was in doubt till the very end, it was a thriller through-
out. In spite of heroic Tiger efforts the Lake County boys triumphed 32-31.

Sectional Tournament
The Tigers were not forced to use their claws in romping through the sec-
tional tournament. Lafayette Center and Maumee Township were easily dis-
posed of with one-sided scores. New Haven won the right to meet Central in
the finals. Game to the last, their plucky players fought to the very end of the
contest, but were no match for the Blue and White.
Regional Tournament
By the route of decisive victories Central’s netters again earned the right
to compete in the state contest. In the first game Decatur displayed a fine
brand of basketball and, for the first few minutes of play, held their own with
the Blue eagers. This gruelling game ended 21-12 in favor of the Tigers. The
plucky Rock Creek team was almost a match for Columbia City, which met
Central in the final game. In the deciding game the Tigers found themselves
and impressively trounced the Whitley County team 34-17.
The State Tournament
“On to the State” was Central’s slogan throughout the local tournaments.
A week after the Regional the Tigers found themselves once again at the “ole’
cow barns.” Central’s showing at the State was a very fine one, in spite of the
fact that they lost out in the second tilt. In defeating Washington the Blue
displayed real basketball skill. Central entered the last battle with high hopes,
but the count that Bedford rolled up in the first half proved to be too great a
lead to overcome, and Mendy’s eagers went down to a 30-24 count.
This closed one of the most successful basketball seasons the school has had.
Thanks to the fine playing of the hardwood boys, to Mendenhall and Bills for
superior coaching, and to Dr. King, Central’s trainer, for watchful care.

UeZZ Leaders
John Habecker
“Johnnie” has seen two years of
service in the trying position of yell
leader for the Tiger fans. During this
time he has proved himself dependable
and original. Does every one want to
yell his head off for him? We’ll say
he does. Though Johnnie is only a Jun-
ior, he is the idol of the Freshmen.
Thanks to you, John, for the loyal serv-
ice you have given Central.
Carl Wilkins
“Doc,” a newcomer in the ranks of cheer leaders, has proved that he has
the “stuff” for this sort of work. He puts his heart and soul, not to mention his
“feeble” voice, into this difficult work and has already made a name for him-
self among the galaxy of student leaders who have starred in this particularly
difficult brand of boosting for the Blue and White.

DR. E. A. KING
When the list of the loyal boosters for Cen-
tral athletics will be published (not yet gone to
press) no doubt Dr. A. E. King’s name will
head the list. Although Dr. King has been in
Fort Wayne only two years, he has become most
popular with all the Centralites and patrons as
well as to Fort Wayne citizens in general. A
“'Who’s Who” writeup would say that he is the
donor of the King cup award, which is to be
given each year to the basketball player whose
mental attitude and playing ability has been the
most outstanding during the season. But we
want to say that he is the loyal physician “on
the bench” at every game, whether the game
is in the city, out-of-town, or at state. Not
only at games has Dr. King given his services,
but his office hours for Central athletics have
been “All Hours.”
Captain “Mutt” Jasper received the King
award this year.

Baseball Resume 1926
Central’s baseball team for the 1926 season looked like a winner from the
very start. On April 16, Baker and Scott, Central's star hurlers, held the
Yellow Jackets to a lone tally while their teammates crossed the plate eighteen
times. A week later Garrett came here for the first home game. Scott blasted
their hopes 4-0. On April 24 the Tigers met the Huntington Vikings and re-
turned with a 12-6 victory. Goshen came here as our next victim and returned
with a 4-2 score. A return game with the Decatur Yellow Jackets was played
here May 1, and they were conquered to the tune of 13-2. The next week Gar-
rett almost put a black mark on Central’s clean slate, but the Tigers found them-
selves and won 6-5. On the following day Bluffton was humbled 8-1. The
diamond men again defeated Huntington 13-2. This was Central’s eighth
consecutive victory', but the fatal game with Muncie a week later ruined our
chances of going through the season undefeated. The Bearcats beat our Tigers
by a 5-3 score. 1927 Schedule

Tennis in Central gives promise of becoming a major sport in the hi tine.
Coached by Les Ortlieb and Hilda Schwehn, backed by the Booster Club,
and with an exceptionally good card, the court sport has become very popular
with the Centralites this year.
Approximately twenty-five people are on the two tennis squads; the girls
team and the boys’ team. The girls had a good team last yeai but aie much
better this year. Regular practice each evening and usually a meet on Friday
or Saturday has featured this year s program.
On the boys’ team are: Dick Heine, Jack Williams, Jack Kitch, and Reece
Gardner. The girls are represented by: Florence Koegel, Margaret Phipps.
Betty Van Arnam, and Audra Dalton. Robert Porter has been acting as
student manager and has scheduled most of the games and provided everything
else necessary.
The first meet was with Marion, there, on April 30, and resulted in a tie.
On May 7, at the country club, Portland was met, and the following week a
hotly contested return meet with Marion was scheduled at the club courts.
The second road trip of the season was taken when the two teams journeyed
to Goshen May 21. The Tigers, and The Bearcats of Muncie provided a
thrilling meet May 27 and the following day Goshen came to Fort Wayne
for a return match. On June 6, the Tiger tennis teams had probably their
hardest fought meet of the year when they went to Culver Military Academy
to engage with the stellar Culver team. Other games were played during this
time but were not placed on the official schedule.
June 2, 3, 4, marked the Central high school tournament which were played
off at the country club courts.
Central is very much indebted to Les Ortlieb, city'’ champion, for his willing-
ness to coach the Central aggregation. He has made a team which any school
would be proud to own, and has done it entirely through his love of the sport
and love for Central people. Miss Schwehn has also accomplished a piece of
work in putting out a girls’ team of which she may well be proud.

MISS SCHWEHN
MISS SCHWEHN
Miss Schwelm has been with us for four
years and has guided the destinies of the
’27 class for the same length of time.
Miss Schwehn has produced fine basket-
ball, baseball, tennis, and volley-ball teams.
She has run off many tournaments and has
conducted gym classes in fine style.
After graduation from Central—then
known as the Fort Wayne High School—
she attended Battle Creek Physical Educa-
tion School, and after completing her course
there she attended Olivet College, from
which she graduated in June, 1922. She
came to Central in the fall of that same
year and has been with us ever since. Her
faithful devotion to Central had followed
her all through college and she was right
there to give back to her Alma Mater all she
had gained.
MISS MOTT
Miss Mott whose home is at Minneapo-
lis, Minnesota, was graduated from the
University of Minnesota where she re-
ceived her B.S. degree. During her high
school and college career she played basket-
ball. Perhaps that is why she is such a
splendid coach.
Under her able coaching the girls have
progressed rapidly. They have learned
many new things which have made them
better players and finer sports. Miss Mott
also teaches gymnasium.
We quote Miss Mott’s first impression
of Central: “The first day of school last
fall left a very favorable impression upon
me. The orderliness in the halls, and the
courtesy of the students were the first
things that I noticed. As time wore on I
realized that this was not only the first
impression, but an enduring one.”
MISS MOTT
Informal Qijm
In addition to the other athletics, there is the gym class and when we investi-
gate we find some very interesting things going on there.
In the gym, various games, exercises, and contests are enjoyed by the girls.
The gym classes meet twice a week and are given over to many forms of exer-
cise. Some days the girls are taught difficult exercises and stunts, which require
skill to accomplish. Dancing is another thing the girls enjoy. They not only
do simple folk dances, but also clogging, jigging, and they learn other difficult
steps.
In the fall and winter basketball and volley-ball are played in the gym
periods. In the spring and summer baseball is played too. The girls go outside
on Central’s campus and have real, live, exciting games.
Jumping, relays, and other games, furnish fun and plenty of exercise for the
girls at other times. In Miss Mott's gym classes the girls take exercises to
music. They also march to music and they have had good times marching in
the regular military manner. The girls who fail to take gym or who drop it
after their freshman year surely lose loads of good times and healthful exercise.

Girls' Basketball
Every year a class tournament is played for the honor of having the winning
class numeral on the Marcella Koeber cup. This year the class of 1927 won
the tournament. The 1927 class now has its numerals on the cup twice.
In 1926 when the cup was first awarded the 1927 class won the cham-
pionship and has repeated its victory again.
The tournament was as follows:
Date Classes Score Winner

Vera Wyrick Mary Pratt Dorothy Tonkel
Thelma Scoles Venus Faux Bernice Reeves

This team played the teachers and were victorious every game they played.
These were the last games on the schedule, and it was thought probable that a
game with the faculty men could be scheduled, but this was never done.
Volley-ball never has been really one of Central's sports, but Miss Schwehn
and Miss Mott want to make it one of the annual sports of Central, ranking
with baseball and tennis.

INDOOR BASEBALL

Hear the call, “Play ball! Play ball!” Doesn’t your hand just itch to hold
a bat and swat the ball skimming over across the left fielder’s head? The
varsity team of last year never had a chance to prove its ability so we now
give it recognition for the fine sportsmanship it showed.
The girls were chosen for their excellent playing and co-operation with
each other and the coaches. They were chosen from the inter-class games,
those showing the best playing were given a place on the all-star team, as the
varsity was called.
Ignota W inter, our all-round athlete and fielder, and Zelda Rosenthal, our
second baseman, were graduated in February.
Among those who will be graduated in June are:
Margaret Phipps, an all-round athlete and our star pitcher; Mary Pratt,
basketball star and first baseman; Thelma Scoles, basketball guard and catcher
foi Marg ; Dorothy Michaels, basketball and baseball player; Hope Harnish,
all-round athlete and star fielder; and Martha Renier, all-around athlete.

Hey Club
“To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community
high standards of Christian character” is the purpose of the Hi-Y, a club spon-
sored by the Y. M. C. A. for junior and senior boys.
The club meetings, which are in the form of banquets, are held every Thurs-
day evening at the Y. M. C. A. During the past year many clever programs
were arranged. At the opening meeting of the new semester in February the
topic for discussion was “What I Would Do if Principal.” A special program
on "He Knew Lincoln” was given February 10, and another on “Ben Hur,” Feb-
ruary 17. "The Bible and Evolution” formed the basis of one discussion, and
What Our Girl Friends Expect of Us,” “My Ideal Teacher,” “What Is a Good
Citizen? , and What College and Why?” were a few of the other interesting
topics. •
The Hi-Y’ers have also had several social events. On March 17 a St. Patrick’s
Party was given in the South Side Cafeteria. In April they joined with the
members of the Friendship and So-Si-Y Clubs and gave a peppy April Fool
ParW at the A . M. C . A. The Mother and Son Banquet, one of their annual
affairs, was held on May 12.

The Junior Hi-Y Club was organized at the Y. M. C. A. last fall at the
opening oi the school term, by a few high school fellows who had enjoyed the
privileges of Christian fellowship during the past semesters. This group of
pupils was anxious to continue this fellowship and was eager to organize the club
with other freshmen and sophomore boys.
Although the club began with relatively few members, it has steadily grown
in numbers and in interest throughout the year. The club members have tried
to create and maintain, in their own lives and in the lives of others, higher
standards of Christian character. To accomplish this aim, discussion groups
have been organized and conducted throughout the year. Special emphasis
was placed on a regular Bible study program during the period leading up to
the Easter season.
Some of the events to be long remembered by the members of the club are:
the Father and Son Banquet, a Christmas party for more than thirty less fortu-
nate boys of the city, a lecture by Winfred Scott Hall on “Chivalry,” and many
trips through some of the more common industries of the city.

Sorosis Literary Society
To promote the reading and appreciation of good literature is, as the name
implies, the purpose of the Sorosis Literary Society. The membership of the
club is placed upon a scholarship basis, and only girls 10A or over, who have an
average of B are permitted to join.
During the first part of the year the programs consisted of the study of the
works of the modern poets. These included Carl Sanburg, Joyce Kilmer, and
others. The latter part of the year was spent with the works of modern authors:
such as Margaret Widdemer, Temple Bailey, and Jeffrey Farnol.
Sorosis is well-known for its patriotic programs. On Armistice Day, George
Washington’s birthday, and Memorial Day, the club presented before the
student body very impressive programs. On each occasion a member of the
club was in charge, and an appropriate talk was given by some well-known
person.
“To be intensely interesting” is the motto of Sorosis, and the girls, with the
help of their very competent advisor, Miss Welch, are doing their best to live
up to it. Although Sorosis was late in getting started this year, it has made
great headway, and its outlook for the future is extremely bright.

Brush and Pencil Club
The Brush and Pencil Club was organized two years ago by the Art Depart-
ment with (he purpose of “creating a finer appreciation and broader knowledge
of Art, which will result in increased enjoyment in the truth and beauty of liv-
ing.’’ Such a club as this had been a needed institution in Central, and its
organization, encouraged by Miss Newman and others, has brought a happy
culmination to the dreams of art-lovers of the school.
The club has proved itself to be a worthy daughter of Central in many ways.
One of its greatest projects was the making of ten large light-shades, which are
to be used in decorating the gymnasium for dances and parties. The shades
are orange and yellow with conventional designs of birds and flowers carried
out in black. The frames are a shield shape, and are forty inches high. The
members have also made and sold dainty white handkerchiefs on which they
had painted blue tiger heads.
The club is by no means one of all work and no play. Interesting meetings
are held on the second Monday in each month and clever programs are presented.
During the two years of its existence, the Brush and Pencil Club has made re-
markable headway, and its members are looking with eagerness to the future,
anxious to show the school what an indispensable organization it is.

Mathematics Club
With the purpose of bringing to those interested in mathematics a greater
vision of the subject, and of giving an opportunity for a closer friendship be-
tween the teachers and students of the department, the Math Club was organ-
ized in 1913. During the past year between fifty and sixty members realized
the aim of the club under the leadership of the presidents, Arthur Gouty and
Maurice Glock. The club has always held a prominent place in the activities
of Central. The membership includes those students who have work in mathe-
matics beyond 10B geometry.
The programs of the year have been both educational and entertaining.
One evening Mr. Dilts gave an interesting and instructive talk on “Chemistry
and Mathematics. At another meeting James Anglin, an alumnus and former
president of the club, explained the “College Board Entrance Examinations.”
Other subjects discussed by members of the faculty were: “History of Mathe-
matics;” “Slide Rule;” and “Magic Squares.”
The club s reputation for its social times has been well maintained. Con-
tests of various types were the favorite amusement of the meetings. The enter-
tainment was most fittingly followed by the “always welcome” refreshments.
One of the outstanding “good times” is the annual picnic. The Club owes its
success largely to the guidance and support of its loyal faculty advisors.

Student Players' Club
To create an interest in dramatics and to develop the talent of those interested
is the very high purpose of the Student Players’ Club. Its advisor is Miss
Marjorie Suter, Central’s' capable director of dramatics. To be a member of
this organization one must take part in a play or assist in the production of one
and must have passing grades in all subjects. In this way, the membership is
restricted to those students who are really interested in dramatics and who are
willing to work for its advancement.
The members are really rather extraordinary individuals, and we never know
in what forms to expect them next. We have seen them as haggard old men;
as dainty, graceful dancers; as dirty, uneducated products of the slums;
sophisticated children of wealth; and what is more, they not only pretend their
parts, but they actually live them! They learn to forget their own personalities
and to throw themselves entirely into the characters they are portraying.
The plays given this year by the organization were as follows: “The Social
Matinee;’’ “If Men Played Cards as Women Do;” “Cindy;” and “The Maker
of Dreams.” These plays were all enthusiastically received by the student body.

Spaced Club
The Spocal Club is Central’s publication club. Although it is a new organ-
ization in the school, its purpose is the same as that of the Press Club, which
came into existence during the year 1925. All members of the major staffs of
the Spotlight and Caldron are eligible for membership. The club endeavors
to further interest in the school publications and to accomplish greater things
for Central in the way of press.
At the first meeting of the year, Robert Portor was elected president.
The initial social event was in the form of a peppy party, given in the cafeteria.
The Spocal members also made clever note-books from the covers of left-over
1925 Caldrons and sold them to the students.
For the second term, Paul Aumann was made president. After the regional
tournament the club gave a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. A trio furnished music
for the affair, and clever after-dinner talks were given by the editors and advisors
of the publications.

Girlsol the Friendship Club with the help of their advisors have been try-

Friendship Club
Before the Girl Reserve movement was started in the Y. W. C. A., Miss
Harrah feeling the need of bringing something inspirational and spiritual into
the high school girls life, organized the Friendship Club in 1916.
Has Friendship Club fulfilled its purpose and thus justified its existence?
Perhaps we may judge from the lives of some of the girls who have been its
leaders.
Elsie Kinerk, ’17, the first president of the club is secretary to the president
of the Real Silk Hosiery Company of Indianapolis.
Marie Umbach Campbell, ’19, was for several years counsellor of the Younger
Business Girls’ Club in our own Y. W. C. A.
Dorothy Simpson, '20, is an instructor of physical education in the University
of Omaha; while Katherine Jackson, '20. is using the facilities of the local Y. W.
C. A. to teach the girls of the city how to keep their bodies fit for work and
service.
Helen Wooding, '21, has been president of the college Y. W. C. A. in the Uni-
versity of Chicago and will receive her master’s degree from that institution in
June. Esther Moll, '21. is Personnel Director of the Indianapolis Employment
Bureau.
Arietta Schmuck, '22, was for two years secretary of the grade school Girl
Reserves and was succeeded this year by Kathryn Wilson, also of the class of
’22. Kathryn, too, had the honor of being president of her college Y. W. C. A.
at the University of Michigan.
Mary Alice Kendricks, ’23, is now in Ohio Wesleyan College and has been
elected to the Writers’ Club, an honor coveted by all, and is planning to enter
the field of Social Service after graduation.

11. P. D.
The U. P. D., the Y. W. C. A. club for underclassmen, started the year with
a peppy party given by the sophomores for the freshmen girls.
This year the club tried a new system of presenting programs. The mem-
bership was divided into five interest groups—dramatic discussion, recreation,
music, and art. Each group took charge of one meeting and carried out the
program in accordance with its special subject. Since each girl could choose
the group she wished to join, she naturally chose the one she liked best and,
consequently, the one for which she was most fitted. As a result of this method,
peppy, as well as instructive, programs were presented.
Neither did the U. P. D.’s, with all their good times forget the service work
they are accustomed to do. At Christmas time they sent over one hundred
Christmas cards and puzzles to the Soldiers' Hospital at Dayton, Ohio. They
also filled their quota for the needlework guild.
The success of the U. P. D. has been due largely to the combined efforts of
the peppy set of officers and the energetic and enthusiastic group of advisors,
which includes Miss Reynard, Miss Oberlin, Miss Furst, and Miss Lucasse.
With their guidance and advice the U. P. D’.s have been able to live up to the
ree virtues for which their name stands—Usefulness, Patriotism, and Devotion.

U. P. D.
The High School Girls’ Reserve Club has a two-fold purpose in Central. It
contains the good work already started by the Y. W. C. A. in the grade schools
by connecting it with high school work. Besides this it gives a high school girl
a chance to express her ideals, work out her schemes, mingle with her newly
made friends, and develop her powers of leadership.
Girls’ clubs are a necessity in the lives of all girls. U. P. D. fulfills its pur-
pose in trying to live up to its motto.
Each meeting is carried on in a business-like manner. The community
spirit is developed through the service committee and the ensemble singing.
A certain per cent of the meetings are social. Different committees plan and
execute games, plan and prepare refreshments and in every way try to create
an atmosphere of hospitality. The devotional part of the club is always empha-
sized. Very often the discussion meetings are on topics of vital importance.
The girls respond most cordially to the inspirational talks furnished by the
Y. W. and by outside speakers.
Those at all familiar with the code for this organization must appreciate the
influence that its teachings must have on the average freshman and sophomore.
It can be truthfully said that the Central girls mean it when they say, “I will try
to face life squarely.”

Home Economics Club
The Home Economics Club was organized two years ago by several of the
teachers and students of the Economics Department who had for some time
past cherished dreams of such a club. A splendid response came to their call
for members, and the club at once began its spectacular career. Its advisors
are Miss Barnes, Miss Pate, Miss Beyerlein. and Miss Strauss, and it is evident
I that with such a capable group to ofler advice, the club can never err.
Any one who has taken a one year course in Home Economics is eligible
for membership. Two meetings are held each month, and interesting and in-
structive programs are always presented. Last year a series of educational
talks on Health were given by Miss Gorrell.
The Home Economics Club has also done much service work, both in the
sc loo and out. Among other things, the members made lamp shades for the
eerans ospital in Kentucky. They sewed the C’s on the sweaters for the
earns, an they presented to the school a table equipped with money drawers,
etc., which is to be used for sales in the lower hall. They also sold and made a

Perhaps the most outstanding work of this music organization was its part
in the comic opera Pinafore, which was given by the entire music department of
Central High School. Other appearances of the Glee Club were at the Optimists
Club, at the Parent-Teachers’ meetings, at the spring music concert during
National Music Week, and at various school affairs.
Favorite numbers of the organization were: “Morning,” by Speaks; “Wake
Thee Now, Dearest,” a Czech folk song; “Amaryllis,” by Ghys; “Cradle Song,"
by Arensky; and “Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes.”

String Quartette
This is the first time in the history' of Central that the school has had an
organization of this kind. We have never been lucky to find four such good
musicians who were able to play together for the enjoyment of the students
and faculty.
The quartette won itself a name and a good reputation soon after its organiza-
tion by presenting a program at the International Business College. They
played for the Armistice program, given by the Sorosis Literary Society, the
teachers’ Christmas party, and a program at the Adams School.
The outstanding numbers in the repertoire of the quartette were Andante
Cantabile, Largo from the New World Symphony by Handel, and the Famous
Waltz by Brahms.

Qhe Spotlight
The Spotlight began its fall career under the tutelage of John White, one of
Central’s most eminent journalists. A Senior edition and a ten-page Christmas
issue were among the most outstanding of the journalistic productions of the
year. A variety of front page make-ups, clever cuts, scintillating features and
interesting news added to the originality and attractiveness of the first semester
papers.
The following staff members, assisted by forty-two hard working reporters,
produced a paper worthy of the name of Central High School: Editor-in-chief,

The Spotlight threw out its rays in the spring term under its new editor,
Freda Withers. Features sparkling with animation and dripping with high
school wit, accounts of the prowess of Central Tigers in basketball and spring
sports—a true cross section of Central High School life—was produced by the
second semester staff. The largest edition of the year—a 16 page tournament
edition—and a six-page Junior edition of unique character were the result of
a hard working and virile staff.

Spotlight Reporters
The Spotlight, Central’s weekly newspaper, is put out by the students who
have shown ability and interest along journalistic lines. This year there came
to Central a new advisor, Miss Leah Austin, whose guidance has been the chief
influence in raising the qualities and usefulness of the paper. The staff under
her supervision has worked diligently to make the Spotlight everything that is
expected of it and through their efforts a truly better paper has been created.
The Spotlight tries to present to the students and faculty in clear, concise form
the news of events in which any Centralite might be interested and to establish
an outlet for those of the student body whose talents tend toward writing.

Qhe Caldron
It is hoped that this year’s Caldron edited by the class of 1927 has succeeded
in some degree in achieving the high aims set forth by its staff. We have con-
scientiously tried to give to the school what we felt it wanted in the school
annual and each stall member has done his share in fulfilling this desire.
The staff, headed by Rosalia Pollak as editor, has endeavored to embody
in this book all the activities of our school during the past year in an interesting
and clever way. We have not only tried to come up to the standard of all the
preceding annuals, but we have tried to make our annual the best ever. This
we tried to do, not only in improving the contents of the book, but in making
the circulation wider than ever before.
We will leave the decision as to whether or not we have succeeded to you,
the readers for whose benefit this book has been published. We hope that you
will enjoy your book and that in years to come, you will be able, with the help
of this book, to recall memories of your former high school days.

1927 Caldron.
This year’s book was made possible largely
through the untiring efforts of Miss Hurst and by
her willingness at any time to help and guide any
member of the staff.
Miss Hurst has been an ambitious staff member
in trying to make the Caldron a success, and we are
all grateful for her help and guidance.
Next year Miss Hurst will go to North Side to
teach and to direct the activities of their school
annual. With her departure Central will lose one
of her most valuable faculty members. But Cen-
tral’s loss will be North Side’s gain, and although
we hate to lose her, we wish her all manner of suc-
cess in her work in our sister school.

The 1926 Caldron was awarded first prize in the I. H. S. P. A. contest.
Since the convention held at Franklin in October, the silver loving cup has
been in Central’s trophy case. Leonard Scheele was editor-in-chief of the
publication and Mr. Richardson was faculty advisor.

Fraqmenta Latina
Fragmenta Latina is the publication of the Latin department of Central.
It^was launched in 1919 under the guidance of Stewart Hulse and William
Merrill. For that one year the Junior High Latin Departments of Jefferson
and Harmar schools joined with Central. The editors for the paper since then
have been as follows: 1920-1921, Joseph Folsom and Mabel Gresley; 1921-
1922, Ned Arick; 1922-1923, Howard Tenny and John Shoaf; 1923-1924, Poyn-
ter McEvoy and David Bernstein; 1924-1925, James Anglin and Vere Kint;
and 1925-1926, Virgil Norford and Richard Heine. The history of the paper
shows big advancement. It has been enlarged from a two-column edition to
one double that size with a change in price from one cent a copy to five cents.
In 1924 an addition was made to the staff. One reporter from each Latin
class was elected as its representative, for the paper. This plan is still being
used. Much credit is due Miss Beyerlein, who has faithfully and ably filled the
position of advisor for the paper.
The first edition of the year 1926-1927 was unique in the fact that the first
page represented a paper of Cicero’s time. Glaring headlines at the top of the
page stated “Cicero has returned from Exile.’’ This idea was kept throughout
the page.
The purpose of Fragmenta Latina is to stimulate interest among the students
of the department in the study of Latin.

Keyboard.
The Keyboard is a publication of the Commercial department. All of the
work is clone by students and equipment of the department.
The staff was elected by a number of commercial students assembled for that
purpose. They bring in the material which is then corrected, typed, stenciled,
mimeographed, and the paper is “made up.” The publication consists of com-
mercial news and notes, society, jokes, editorials, literary page, and cartoons.
The Keyboard, is for the purpose of helping the school learn more of the
Commercial department. The first issue of this year was a big success and al-
ways can be with the support of the student body. The paper is under the sup-
ervision of Mr. E. Eyster.

MADELINE CROMWELL
Indiana. High School Press Association President
Last October, a large delegation went to Franklin, Indiana, to attend the
Indiana High School Press Association Convention. Never before had Central
been so well represented at any convention.
We had never had a student at Central hold an office in the Association,
so we all decided that it was about time to spread our wings and soar into the
heights. Our selected candidate was Madeline Cromwell, a junior, whom we put
up for president of the Association. Then the strenuous campaigning started.
At the election we all had the thrill of our lives when we heard the words “Fort
Wayne’’ being repeated over and over again as the ballots were cast. Madeline
was elected president by a large majority. Central had won a much coveted
honor. She was the possessor of the presidency of the Indiana High School
Press Association. Madeline is the first girl to hold presidency of the Associa-
tion. I
On March 26, Madeline went to Indianapolis to preside at a meeting of the
organization.
We hope that next term Central will have a larger delegation than ever and
that she will again win honors that will be a credit to her name.

The Origin of 228
Wav back in the dark ages, even before the time of Mrs. Clark, about the time when Adam
was beginning kindergarten and was throwing paperwads at Eve, there lived a certam tribe of
beings who were called Manaboofklwighe (pronounced hke our modern word Knae.ouyhnskyz,
only with the q made long as in China). Now this particular tribe were regular o d-fash.oned,
women-hating, gedunk-drinking, school-hating, he-men, who would have sat.sfied Harold Teen
and his B Y Club’s wildest desires. Each had the weight of Bob Ramsey, the height of
“Mutt” Jasper the brains of Dick Heine and Martha Harris, and the actions of Freddie Stephan
and ParkDrayer, and all the rest of Central’s “funny” boys combined. Verily, each even had
some of Miss McCloud’s temper, though not as much as she for even in that day, month, year,
and age some things were impossible.
You ask me why you had never heard of these remarkable people before. Well, you see it
was like this. 1 just discovered them and am now writing their history; that is, the history of
their intellect. For an account of their athletics and sports see Sports of the Manaboofklwighi
as Compared with Those of the Greeks” by Wiant and Aumann, verified by Miss Smeltzly,
proof-read by Austin and Hurst. For the pronunciation of names given see “Talker’s Inter-
township Dictionary” in 1000 volumes, weight 20,000 pounds. This is the famous pocket-edition
which can easily be carried with you in a ten ton truck. Better yet, make up your own pro-
nunciations.
These prohysteric people were especially noted for their fine schools. Did I say they hated
schools? So they did, so they did, but someone is always taking the joy out of life. Their schools
were magnificient, being portable so that as the scholars advanced in grade, they could be moved
to a little higher ground. Their teachers were the best in the world at that time. Please notice
the list of celebrities they had on their string: Old Man Square-the-Circle, who taught Euclid's
Geometry (he’s the guy who invented the “Square meal”); More-sure and Day-long, the History
teachers; Suit-her, the Director of Dramatics, not so good as our Miss Suter; Mat-hews and 1 ale,
the Music teachers, (Irving Berlin studied their style) and others too numerous to mention. But
the principal, the head-teacher, the leader, and the tyrant of the school was Tu-Twenty-Ate.
He was a holy terror.
Tu-Twenty-Ate’s method of procedure was simple, but effective. He was always right, at
all times and on all occasions. For a mild offence like being late to school, the culprit was prompt-
ly shut up in a cave and required to read Cicero’s Orations, being fed during the period of con-
finement on a light diet of frankfurters, sauerkraut and Limburger cheese. If someone forgot
to sign up in the library, or if he signed the wrong seat number, that person was bawled out
unceasingly and without stopping for a long time. For the worst offense, when some poor,
benighted Manboofklwighc became too vociferous and disagreed with Tu-Twenty-Ate, he was
immediately given a few light love-taps with a stone hammer on the top of his more or less ivory
cranium, and was thereby dispatched into the realms of Heslippedemuphere, where the ignorant
may rest their overworked brains and the Charleston dancers their overworked legs.
Tu-Twenty-Ate was very able assisted by Honk-e-Tonk. He was the chief bouncer and did
all the cheesing, he even made the Limburger. Honk-e-Tonk was commonly called “Honk
and was viewed with fear and trembling. When people saw him coming, they promptly cried out,
on ’. onk. Then all scattered to safety among the trees and their cousins, the Monkeys.
t is from this that the auto manufacturers conceived the idea of making the horn sound “honk-
honk. People hear it and promptly get out of the way.
^k-i5,0 TU T^enty-Ate became a demi-god, but an evil one. Parents, instead of telling
t k the Bugaboo would get them, said they would send them to Tu-Twenty-Ate.
eachers threatened to send pupils to Tu-Twenty-Ate if they did not get their lessons. It started
then and is continuing now. Tu T«vl, '

Ivanhoe as Advertised
Part 1. The Forest
1. Brian de Bois Guilbert inquired the way to Cedric's manor and Wamba replied, "Your nose
knows.”
2. Gurth warned the Templar not to attempt to pass through the forest at that particular place
on account of the thickets, but the latter exclaimed, “I am not worried, I use Kelly Springfields!”
3. While passing through the heretoforcsaid thicket Brian snagged his hose, as he failed to wear
Hole-Proof Hosiery today, although “you just know he wears them” usually.
4. 1 he knight was caught in the thickets, but finally managed to get out and he accomplished
by himself what it would take another to do with Borax's twenty mule team.
Part 2. Cedric’s manor
1. The floors were cold and bare because they lacked Congoleum rugs.
2. Rowena entered the hall powdering the "skin you love to touch" because she believed in the
old saying "save the surface and you save all.”
3. Olcomargerine was not used at the feast, even though four out of five had it and the fifth
one sold it, because Cedric believed in the saying "accept no substitutes.”
4. They used Wrigley's after every meal and they smoked Fatimas because a few cents makes
a whale of a difference and besides they were too tired to "walk a mile for a Camel."
5. Cedric read the “Last Love" because it was 99.44% pure (rot).
6. After the feast the servants brought in Fisks because it was “time to retire.”
Part 3. The Tournament
1. The grandstands were filled with “fifty-seven varieties" of ladies who possessed “that school-
girl complexion.”
2. The combatants were drawn up in the "danger line.” Among them was Willys Knight in
armor, "body by Fisher,” (no metal can touch you).
3. Pierce Arrows were used exclusively in the archery contest because “there is something about
them you like.”
4. Much enthusiasm was aroused and someone from the lists shouted, "Kodak as they go.”
Some of the knights fought as if they needed Fleischman’s Yeast to wake them up.
Part 4. The House Party
1. Mazda lamps “light the world,” but Rowena basked in love light as she sat down at the
Steinway, "the instrument of the immortals.”
2. Ivanhoe lit a stogy and Rowena cooed, “Blow some my way."
3. Adoringly Ivanhoe gazed into the lady’s eyes and said, “Eventually, why not now, unless,
there is a reason."
4. Rowena gave a sigh of joy for she had been "often a bride’s maid, but never a bride."
Moral: All’s well that ends well, (draw your own conclusion).

SEPTEMBER
Well, it's September and school’s began.
I and Gloria walked to school this morning,
and Gloria said she imagined things would
be pretty dull this year with all the other
fellows and heroes gone, and I just told Gloria
that she wasn't showing the right attitude
to lots of these younger fellows like Ted
Hagerman and Gerald Doty and Herbert
Widenhofer and Carl Altschult and Arthur
Gouty and I just said that she should have
faith in these boys, and that maybe they’d
go out and conquer things and be heroes like
Wayne Kepler and Virgil Norford and Pres-
ton Slack and Jack White and some of our
other war-like gods. And I just told Gloria
that maybe these boys didn’t know that
they should pay the bill when they take a
girl thirst-quenching at Ewings, but 1 just
said they’d learn, and some day 1 told Gloria
that these very boys would know that a soda
satisfies a hungry girl more than a coke.
OCTOBER
Well Gloria and I are awful football
fans so we went out to the Bluffton game
and have been going all the time since.
Well while we were out to the game why
who should come up but Park Drayer and
Bob Gardner and asked us if we would eat
an ice cream pie with them, and Gloria just
acted awful and wouldn't pay any attenshim
to them whatever, and just then Steve
Marshall gained about 12 yards out on the
field where the team was playing football,
and Gloria just went sorta frantick and she
just squeezed my hand and said “Oh my
dear this just thrills me to death”—and right
in front of Bob and Park she said—“does his
uncle (meaning Steve’s) give him lots of
nickels for cokes”—Well I tried to quiet her.
and after she wasn't so panicky I just told
Gloria that she’d better have taken that ice
cream pie because Park and Bob both drove
cars all their own sometimes and it would
have meant a lot to let people see us eating
with them.

Well, I and Gloria are just getting down
to work. I just told Gloria there was so
much glamor around girls like us at the
entrants of school that no one in our position
could be expected to spend much time with
the edgeucational program. Well Xmas will
soon be here and 1 just told Gloria we 'd
better begin to attach ourselves to boys like
George Southworth and Dick Laue because
they always bought girls such lovely presence,
and I just told Gloria that girls like us
would have to look out for ourselves. Well
Gloria and I went down to Koerbers and
picked out some gorgeous compacts and
emerald bracelets and things, and Gloria
said maybe they 'd better just lay them
back, and 1 just told Gloria that no man
could be expected to buy those things 'til
he 'd had some training, so I and Gloria
went out to find Dick and George.

Well, after Gloria’s official bow to society
which was made at the Thanksgiving dance
at Lincolndale, why Gloria just raved all
the time about a fellow called Carl Wilkins
who she met with at the dance and she didn't
seem to bother about getting back to work
on her historic. Gloria and this Carl Wil-
kins had become practically inseperable and
every day you could see them at Ewing’s,
in fact their case was simply vialent. Why,
Carl got so that he was in a terrible panick
whenever Gloria would look at another man,
and I and Gloria went to the operetta “The
Pinafore," and Gloria squeezed my hand
and said isn’t Stanley Teel just too marvel-
ous when he directs that orchestra, and right
back of her was Carl Wilkins. As soon as
the performance was over, why Carl came
up to Gloria’s surprize and with the awe-
fullest face and harshest tone, said to Gloria,
“Come here, you scion.” Well Gloiia had
been called a lot of harsh names by gentle-
men but never anything so serious as that
and it left a nasty gash in Gloria's heart.

Well, I and Gloria are now both out in
society, and since the New Year’s dance
I’m on the Social Register, and I just told
Gloria that it was such a releaf to know that
you was accepted and it really meant pres-
teege to be in the register. But 1 just told
Gloria that she’d have to be pretty careful
about who she ran around with because
Carl Wilkins had been acting terrible fran-
tick, and I had heard miners that Carl had
some decketives working to see what she
was doing. The way I heard it rumered
was that Anne Hayden and Paul Mensing
kept running around with a note book taking
notes, and then they’d run to Carl and tell
him something and then they’d say, “Ask
me another.”
And Tom Popp said that the things Carl
was saying about Gloria was simply terrible.
And George Bond said he didn’t know what
they all meant since Carl had taken a col-
ledge english course that came to his ade
when he expressed himself.

Well, I and Gloria went down to Baber’s
to get some Valentines. The way we hap-
pened to go there was because Johnny Ha-
backer works there, and Gloria thought
maybe John could help her pick out a real
sentimentle greeting for Carl Wilkins, but
when we got there why there was such a
crowd of girls around John and Gloria and
I just thought it was not showing the right
attitude to shove in ahead of Mary Pratt,
Venus Faux and Margaret Phipps who were
just acting too silly for words—when they
were picking out Valentines for Milton
Rosenthal and Gene Berg and Clayton Meril-
lat. Well we left and 1 just had a terrible
time getting down the street with Gloria for
she’s awful popular with policemen and truck
drivers even when they're on duty, but I
just told Gloria we’d have to put business
before pleasure and hunt a Valentine for
Carl, because he’d been acting more pequalar
than ever—and had even threatened to go
to Shang High or some other tcrruble place
if Gloria didn't reform.

Well, I and Gloria got tickets for the
tournament so we could go together, as we
knew that a young girl who went to a tourna-
ment by herself in Fort Wayne was likely to
get herself talked about. Well we went and
everybody was there, and I and Gloria sat
down with the rest of the girls so we wouldn’t
get ourselves talked about. But when the
team came out on the floor Gloria got all
excited and stood up and yelled and acted
just dreadful, and just raved about Mutt
and Bob being so godlike and strong and
about Weber and Dornte and all the rest of
the fellows beingso heroic. Well, right in front
of her was Carl Wilkins yelling and jumping
around terrible and 1 just told Gloria that
in trying to be indifferent to her, Carl had
had his mind taken off more than it should
be. Well I tried to set a good example by
absolutely refusing to yell, especially when
I was near Mrs. Clark for I did want it to be
obvious to her that I was one of the girls on
Social Restraint. But the yelling finally got
so bad where I was that 1 had to go over
and sit by Mrs. Clark to add dignity.

BUILT FOR PROTECTION - 1923
HOME OFFICE OF THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE
The pioneer policy was one of "Safety First." When the storms of war beat upon it Americans
found security behind its sturdy walls. The spirit of a great leader inspired its defense.
The Lincoln Life ideal policy whether in peace or war is "Safety All The Time."
Added to the heroic memories of Wayne is the spirit of Lincoln whose great heart and love
for mankind is exalted in this far reaching and humanitarian service.
Old Fort Wayne raised the Stars and Stripes. The same glorious flag waves the whole year
round from those ramparts of security, the Lincoln National Life.
For homes and firesides and families it is

What Electricity Has Done
for Mothers
THIRTY YEARS AGO, homes were lighted or,
rather, only half-lighted by oil lamps, lamps that
required daily cleaning and attention. Just one of
the many trying daily tasks that our mothers per-
formed so uncomplainingly.
Then came the electric light, the first of a series of
wonderful developments in the electrical industry. Now,
Mother presses a button and the whole room is flooded
with light—light that comes at the speed of the sun’s
light, 11,160,000 miles per minute.
After the electric light, in quick succession, came the
electric iron, the electric washer, the electric cleaner, and
other household appliances—appliances that banished
drudgery, the monotonous drudgery of house work.
Today, electricity works for Mother, enabling her to
really enjoy living—to do things worth while—to devote
more time to her children; it gives her “more leisure,
wisely used.”

Is the Food You Eat Important?
The thought that we do not live
to eat, but eat to live, when cor-
rectly understood, actually
stresses the importance of the
things we eat although the super-
ficial mind often takes just the
opposite interpretation.
The Kind of Food we eat IS
important, for our health, happi-
ness, and after all. life itself de-
pends upon it. This seems so
entirely obvious—and yet—since
the majority of us are not dieti-
cians. we eat carelessly and
without thought of the true
value of the food we take.
You cannot examine and analize
your food every day. but you
CAN insist on food whose makers
do it for you. The Perfection
Biscuit Company does exactly
that—maintains a complete lab-
oratory and a staff of exports—
thoroughly testing every ingredi-
ent that goes into the wide va-
riety of tempting breads, crack-
ers. cakes and cookies that carry
its name “PERFECTION.”
Demand PERFECTION whenever you want baked foods, and
you'll know that you aie getting the best and biggest money’s
worth in healthful, appetizing, truly nourishing food.

Well the tournament is over and I and
Gloria have been wondering what to give up
for lent. Well, we were coining back to
school down at the crossroads of Clinton and
Lewis streets, when we saw Mr. Hewitt
coming back from lunch too, and we just
told him about our trouble. 1 had just
always told Gloria he was so sympathetic
and kind and was so beau gallant as the
French or other people in the Social Register
say, and he's so broadminded and he sug-
gested that we give up watermelon or grand
opera and baseball, and then we could feel
that we were really sacrificing.
Well by that time we were up to the walk
by Central and we heard sounds and echos
from the little cafes along Calhoun street
we looked around, and who was there but
Carl Wilkins, with an aweful scowl on his
face and in the meanest voice he looked at
Gloria and said that he wished he could tell
the bare-faced facts about beauties. Gloria
was so humiliated, but Mr. Hewitt was so
gallant and brave and he spoke up and said
Never mind Doc, I drink 2 cups of coffee
every night and sleep like a log.

MAY
Well school's almost over and the Junior
Prom and Senior Play are here; and Gloria
and I were walking down town and Gloria
said she didn’t know that she'd have a date
for the dance, because most men were pe-
culiar and anyway to have a date with a
man at the prom was more or less of a handi-
cap and I just told Gloria that I didn't have
a date either for the dance but anyway we
didn't need to worry because there'd be
some stags like Wade McCoy, Byron Novit-
sky and it wouldn't cause a girl of our social
prestige to get talked about if she went with-
out a date even though Rosalia Pollak, Har-
riett Hiester and Martha Harris and some of
those other girls would call it a vulgar dis-
play of one's popularity to expect a full
program from stags. But Miss McCloud
said we could get buy, when Carl Wilkins
came up in a sort of a daze, almost a stupor,
and asked would she or would she not go
to the Junior Prom with him and Gloria just
sorta sideswiped him and said “I’ll make a
puzzle with you—will I go?" And Carl said
“You answer this one—Ask me another.”

Well the Junior Prom is over and every-
thing around school seems grand because Carl
Wilkens and Gloria are almost inseperable
again. And I and Gloria are just never to-
gether again. And what does it matter any-
way—a girl in the social register doesn’t
have to run after any other girl or Carl
Wilkens to remain in the social register, and
anyway I'm going out with a lot of the other
prominent people in school, for instance the
other night I and Germaine Comparer and
Mary Liggett and Bill Miller and Dick Heine
went out to a hot dog stand and had a cup of
coffee, but we didn't eat because Dick kept
saying we wouldn’t have time as he had to
get the car back home early, and I just said
how much better it was to be out with boys
like that who didn’t feel that they had to
spend a quarter on a girl when they should
have the car home. Well our caps and gowns
came and I just said it sorta made me have
larngitis to think about leaving school but
we could be noble and fine and always love
Central anyway.

.MR. WARD
To the Class of 1927
The best thing about Life is living. For you about to step forward one more
pace into the greater Life ahead, all of us who have been so much concerned
for you wish only that you may live as zestfully, as joyfully, as honestly as you
have lived during your days with us. We hope for you that every day may see
for you a good day’s work, well done. We believe in Youth, and its essential
goodness. We have faith that what you have done, and what we have tried to
do for you, will bear its fruit in due season, in greater usefulness to your city
and your nation, and in greater happiness to yourselves. May our faith be
proven by your lives. [ (7 WARD

MR. CRONINGER
We have only one purpose in all this school organization, in all this equipment,
in all the discipline, in all the..books, in all the lessons, in all the extra-curricular
activities and that is to prepare you who study here for a better citizenship.
If we have aided or encouraged you to be more thrifty, to have gained more
wisdom, to be able to appreciate more your country, your spiritual inheritance
and your duty to each other; we are glad for we then know we have accom-
plished that wrhich we set out to do.

MISS LEWIS
The class of 1927 will soon record four happy years in its book of Memory.
As you leave Central High School there are three requests I wish to make of
you. One is that you remember that whatever ypfl do may bring credit or dis-
credit to the teachings you have received here, and that we are watching your
success with interest.
The second is that we ask you to play the game of life squarely even though
you lose.
The last is that you look for your pleasures in the little things that comprise
the daily routine of living. There is no safer road to happiness.

MISS CHAPIN
Little need be said about this woman who has served us so faithfully during
our four years at high school. She has not served only us, however, but she
has helped many of our predecessors for a number of years.
Whenever we lose something we seek Miss Chapin, when we wish to tele-
phone we seek Miss Chapin, when we lose our locker keys we seek Miss Chapin,
and when we want our programs changed, again it’s Miss Chapin we seek. One
can hardly imagine a day at school without some aid from this helpful woman.
We all hope sincerely that she will be at Central for years to come and that
our younger brothers and sisters will appreciate the thoughtful attention she
will give them.

English Department
The study of English falls into two groups—literature and composition.
Literature gives one a desire to read good things and appreciate them. In
our four year course, we become acquainted with the different styles of writing,
such as fiction, biographies, essays, short stories, dramas, classics, and poetry.
Outside reading plays an important part in this course, although most of the out-
side reading is offered as an outside-of-school activity.
Composition, or grammar, is studied for the purpose of learning to use
language as a tool in the expression of our ideas. With the aid of this a pupil
learns to speak correctly and fluently.
It is the aim of the department to have the pupil get an elementary appre-
ciation of good books, and an accurate use of our language.

Language Department
For literary pupils who desire to enter the foreign fields in later years, and
for those who wish a better and more thorough understanding of the origin of
their own language, this department offers a complete fundamental course in
Latin, French, Spanish, and German. With the aid of any of these languages,
a pupil may add to his field of knowledge, since many valuable books are found
written only in the original, and since by translation the purpose and real mean-
ing of the book may be lost. Even the required course, which is two years,
gives the pupil a passing knowledge of these foreign languages.
History Department
Our history course covers a period of three years, during which we enjoy
a comprehensive study of “modern times and the living past.” The study is
pursued from the ancient times up to the economic and civic development of
the present era. Our mental capacity in this line of work is broadened by
doing outside reading pertaining to historical facts, and by making maps relat-
ing to various historical events.
This department strives to make us understand the importance of knowing
the most outstanding events that took place in years gone by, and compare
them with those of the present.

Commercial Department
The commercial course prepares the pupils for their debut into the business
world.
The entire four years are given to the study of business necessities.
Commercial arithmetic and simple bookkeeping are taught the first year. The
second year plunges one into a sea of trial balances, general journals, bills of
lading, and all the other work of a true bookkeeper. Typing and shorthand
are taught thoroughly the third year. The last year the typing and the short-
hand are continued. Letters are transcribed at certain rates, tvping teams
are formed to compete against each other, and speed tests are taken for awards.
The last part of the year is a laboratory course, and deals with comptometers,
listing machines, mimeographs, and dictaphones.
It is the earnest endeavor of this department to make each boy and girl
capable of doing the work expected with real joy, loyalty, and willingness.

Vocational Department
The theme of ‘‘future occupation” runs parallel to the work performed in
the vocational department. The name ‘‘vocational” gives a clear foresight on
the subjects dealt with here. The main subjects under observation are printing
and electricity. The department strives to provide a suitable training for those
occupations, or vocations, which interest the pupils most, and hopes to give
them a more thorough knowledge of their trade so they can make their debut
into the business world, feeling that they are masters of their trade. We feel
that Central has a very complete vocational department. She has sent a great
number of trade masters out of her shops.
Some of the finished products of the Printing Department are the Spotlight,
all posters for plays, activities and athletic events.
The part time courses worked out with factories in the city have been a great
step forward in the vocational courses.

Home Economics Department
Home economics is a subject which centers around the home. It includes
the study of food and clothing viewed from the standpoint of hygiene, economics,
and art.
In the study of food, the work arranges itself around such interests as varie-
ties of foods and their sources, food values, meal planning, preparation of foods,
and table sendee.
Selection of clothing, which includes a study of textiles from the consumers'
point of view, art principles as applied to dress, and the construction and care of
clothing, compose the main objectives in the clothing classes.
The goal toward which this department is striving, is to njake each girl realize
her responsibilities in the future, and to have her strive toward the ideals of
initiative, honesty, and courtesy.

Physical Education
Physical education is required only in the first year, but four years of it may
be taken. Twice a week the pupils go into our gymnasium to exercise and to
play games, such as basketball, indoor baseball, and volley ball. Many exer-
cises are practised, and much time is spent on the posture. Tests are given in
regard to posture, neatness of the “gym suit," and the ability to obey the com-
mands of the instructor with alacrity and promptness. Sometimes the class is
divided into teams, and these compete in the various games.
This department strives to keep the pupils’ bodies fit, and teach them the
value of physical education.

continuing the study of equations, radicals and unknown quantities. The
course prescribed consists of algebra, plane and solid geometry, advanced algebra,
college algebra, and trigonometry.
Science Department
The science department includes botany, chemistry, physics, biology, and
physical geography. This study of abstract principles is systematically carried
on mostly through experiments which are performed in the respective labora-

In the art department, the artistic tendencies of the pupils come to the top.
The many beautiful posters which decorate our halls are none other than the
work of the pupils of this department. The art work for our year book and school
papers is done by the members of this class. Not only sketches and paintings
are made, but work in leather cutting, table designing, and other interesting
art work is practised.
music Department
The lovers of music find this course intensely interesting. It gives all pupils
a chance to join either the orchestra, band, or glee club. At many of our assem-
blies we are entertained by the orchestra, or often the quartette gives numbers.
Both the orchestra and the quartette have made public appearances and in this
way have brought honor to Central, while many cantatas and operettas have been
given in the past by this department. The lives and works of great composers
are pursued in the music history classes, and in the harmony classes music
theory and harmony are studied.

Manual Training
Manual training introduces to the pupil the simple and practical methods of
manufacturing. This training may be very useful later on, but besides its prac-
tical value, it inculcates the pupil with the spirit of “what is worth being done
at all, is worth being done well. If the pupil retains this principle, he has gained
an asset xaluable to him in every walk of life. This does not only teach the
pupil to do the daily tasks confronted, but makes him coordinate the hand with
the brain. Various kinds of furniture, such as tables, lamps, and smoking stands,
are built as perfectly as possible.

During the four years at Central the class has kept the reputation of being
peppy . It has always been more than willing to accept its share of respon-
sibilities to boost Central; at the same time its members have participated in
the usual number of pranks which have ended in “office calls.”
As the class of 27 becomes a maker of history and passi^Tinto the ranks of
the alumni, the members look back with fond memories over their high school
days. And they cherish more than ever their '27 Caldron, for which the class
has adopted the motto, “A Bargain in Memories.”

Of 1927
Gbc Caldron
Our mother Central
’T was in the year of twenty-three
On the steps of Central High
There stood six hundred little frosh,
So timid and so shy!
Good Mother Central saw them there
And threw her portals wide.
She lifted up a beckoning hand
And called them to her side.
Unhesitatingly they came.
Six hundred—one and all.
They followed Central up the steps
Into her lofty hall.
In Mother Central’s home they stayed
Four long, but happy years.
They found encouragement for their hopes,
Sympathy for their fears.
No, Central failed not in her trust.
She led them safely ’long,
And with a firm but gentle voice
She taught them right from wrong.
And now she sends them forth from her
Into a great, wide world.
They sally out, happy and proud,
With banners gay unfurled.
And Central stands back in the gloom,
And watches them go by;
And, seeing their great confidence,
She breathes a wistful sigh.
For she has seen others march forth;
Has heard their tramping feet.
She knows the hardships they must share,
The crises they must meet.
Now, Seniors who are setting out,
Prove to her this one thing;
That all her efforts and her toils
Their deserved reward will bring.
Though you may not win glory; no, •
Nor even lasting fame,
At least you can, each one of you,
Bring honor to her name.
She’s taught you how to fight the “Fight;”
She’s showed you what to do;
She s given you a chance to win;
The rest is up to you!

Athletic Board
Control of athletics at Central is in the hands of the following group of people:
Fred H. Croninger, principal; Charles Dilts, faculty manager of athletics; Mark
Billsand Murray Mendenhall, coaches; the Misses Hilda Schwehn and Elsie
Mott, directors of physical education for girls; and Miss Hazel Hawkins, advisor
of the Booster Club.
The board of control determines the athletic policies of the school, makes the
awards of letters and sweaters at the close of the season for each sport, and has
charge of any special honors or trophies, such as the blankets, which are to be
presented for outstanding prowess displayed in sports.
One of the many duties of Mr. Croninger, as principal, is to certify all students
who take part in athletic contests. He also has charge of sectional and regional
basketball tournaments as well as sectional track meets. During the past ten
years he has missed but few games, either at home or out-of-town.
Mr. Dilts, a new man as faculty manager this year, has handled the affairs
of this position with the same capable and thorough effectiveness that he does
his chemistry classes. Ticket sales, scheduling games, and handling financial
matters, all come within the province of his work. No bit of work is too trifling
for his consideration, if the welfare of the teams is concerned.
Miss Hawkins has general charge of all the things that the Booster Club
does to advance athletics. The work of her organization includes: decorating
the gym or field, sales at the games, and social affairs for the letter men.
We are all agreed that each member of the athletic board of control has
e ciently managed the particular part of the athletic work that has come within
his province.

COACH MARK BILLS
Football and Baseball
Did you ever notice that sturdily built, dark-eyed fellow who
goes smilingly about at Central? Well, that’sCoach Bills. Perhaps
the best way to judge a person is to get the opinion of those
who know him and realize his ability to handle difficult situ-
ations that arise. Those Central students who have worked
with Mark in football and baseball are unanimous in declaring
him especially competent for leadership in sports. It takes a
real leader of men to go through such a season as Central exper-
ienced in football last year and still keep his players keyed up
to the fighting pitch. Mark is a leader—a decisive one, who
knows the game, who realizes its possibilities, and who develops
his players accordingly.
Last spring’s baseball season was a fitting climax to a success-
ful athletic year, for Central lost but one game out of fourteen.
Much of this success must be attributed to the mentor who
coached the team so ably. He is not only known for his ability
as an athlete and a coach, but also for the fine baritone voice
which he possesses.
Seienty-jour
1500 s motto, as he went about the gridiron, the leader oi the team, seem-
ed to be “Say it with action.’’ Always a dependable player and possessing
the confidence of his team-mates at all times, he made the kind of captain
of which Central can long be proud. As a player in three sports, the cap-
taincy of football in his senior year was a fitting tribute to his athletic prowess.
Alumni 0—Central 0
September 18
With the weatherman providing a day bet-
ter suited for a swimming match than a gridiron
contest, the former wearers of the Blue and
White fought the varsity to a scoreless tie. The
Alumni were represented by a galaxy of former
Tiger stars. In the last quarter the Tigers be-
gan a brilliant drive which carried the ball within
a few feet of the goal, only to be stopped by
the stonewall defense of the Alumni.

LaPorte 6—Central 3
September 25
For the second game of the season Coach Bills
travelled with his proteges to LaPorte, where a hard
and closely contested game was lost to the Slicers.
Repeating its forward passing attack of the year
before, LaPorte again outnosed Central by a narrow
margin. During the second half both teams settled
down to real work, and the ball see-sawed back and
forth with both squads fighting desperately to clinch
the game. At one time the Tigers were within two
yards of the coveted goal, but an incomplete pass
behind the line gave the enemy the ball. The Tigers
seemed to be a bit off form and they were unable
to stem tRe^tide of their strong opponents at critical
times in the game.

Bluffton 0—Central 12
October 1
A re-arranged lineup met Bluffton in the mud
of the stadium and emerged therefrom with two
touchdowns as the winner’s share of the spoils.
The Wells County squad opened up an aerial
attack to cross the expanse of mud. This was
short-lived, for Marshall snagged a pass and
raced forty-five yards for Central’s first touch-
down of the season. In the last quarter Cen-
tral succeeded in taking the ball down the field,
and, by the forward pass route, chalked up six
more points. A fair crowd witnessed this game
in spite of the fact that Father Pluvius was
threatening to release a deluge at any minute.

of passes across the goal line. Cummins of
Columbia City kept the Tigers guessing as he

Playing a mediocre brand of foolball, the Blue and

In the first quarter Bash dropped upon a blocked
punt back of Decatur’s goal line for Central's lone
score. In the third quarter the Yellow Jackets
smashed the Blue and While line for a touchdown

Toward the very end of the game an intercepted

JAMES BRITTIN
Student Manager of Athletics
“Jimmy” was that efficient student manager of athletics, who always crept
up and down the Central stairs with such “gentle” footsteps. Always on hand
at every game and practice session, he was the man who looked after the equip-
ment of all kinds and saw to it that none was lost. Nothing was too hard or
trifling for him to do if it spelled the welfare of the team. No one will ever
forget how he chased foul balls that went over the fence, how efficiently he
carried water to perspiring gridiron players, and how he used to give the hard-
wood boys rub-downs. Endowed with a keen sense of humor and a pleasing
personality, he has enlivened many a trip with his own peculiar brand of humor.
As managers go, “Jimmy” has been by far the most faithful that Central has
known in recent years. To be a follower and, in a sense, a lackey, for those who
have the honor of playing the game, and to do this in such a way that he has
won the commendation of students, players, and coaches, is what has been ac-
complished by this loyal follower of the Blue and White.

MURRAY MENDENHALL
COACH
Ba
“Mendy’” ii
who directs the school's efforts iu the hardwood and cinder con-
tests. Like Bills he is coaching for his third year at Central
and has had phenomenal success with teams in both sports for
which he is primarily responsible. He is an athlete who not
only knows the game, but understands thoroughly how to im-
part this knowledge to aspiring novices. Since “Mendy” has
had the Blue and White basketball team under his tute-
lage, this sport has been given a new impetus in our school.
For three consecutive years he has developed a track team
that has captured the honors in the sectional track meet. This
certainly proves that “he knows his stuff” in this branch of
sports.
The reputation of this man as a player and coach was not
unknown to us before his arrival here three years ago. That
his selection as a coach has been no mistake has been more than
ably demonstrated by the results achieved during this time.
Here’s to you, “Mendy.”

PAUL JASPER
Captain of Basketball
“Mutt” is that lengthy wearer of the coveted “C,” who
has majored in sports and popularity, and has graduated
with the King trophy. Four years in football, three in base-
ball, and three in basketball is the record over which this
versatile athlete can look back as the years come and go.
He will leave a place that will be hard to fill by some future
player. Whole teams made up of such players would be a joy
to the hearts of coaches. In football his playing at end was
as outstanding as that of any Central player in recent years.
In baseball he held down the first sack in an admirable man-
ner, for he was able to grab any fly from high in the air and
could field a great deal of territory. In basketball he has out-
jumped and out-maneuvered many a worthy opponent.
“Mutt” has been a very great favorite among Central students
during his entire four years with us, and for this reason every-
one was especially pleased when he was chosen to pilot the
net eagers during his senior year.

The Season Opens
Central’s basketball prospects were fairly good when
the season opened. Jasper and Ramsey were the only
two veterans left of last year’s squad, but we also
had last season’s reserves. Coach Mendenhall soon
had a squad of ten men that were full of the fighting
spirit of Central. The final games of the season proved
how well the Blue and White could perform.
Central’s basketball season opened with a journey to
Marion, where the state champs were held to a 37-29
victory. In this early season game the Tigers showed
up well, despite the Giant’s victory.
On the following night, Rochester breezed into the
Tiger camp and the Zebras returned to their own lair
with a game won by a margin of 31-26.

Sectional Tournament
The Tigers were not forced to use their claws in romping through the sec-
tional tournament. Lafayette Center and Maumee Township were easily dis-
posed of with one-sided scores. New Haven won the right to meet Central in
the finals. Game to the last, their plucky players fought to the very end of the
contest, but were no match for the Blue and White.
Regional Tournament
By the route of decisive victories Central’s netters again earned the right
to compete in the state contest. In the first game Decatur displayed a fine
brand of basketball and, for the first few minutes of play, held their own with
the Blue eagers. This gruelling game ended 21-12 in favor of the Tigers. The
plucky Rock Creek team was almost a match for Columbia City, which met
Central in the final game. In the deciding game the Tigers found themselves
and impressively trounced the Whitley County team 34-17.
The State Tournament
“On to the State” was Central’s slogan throughout the local tournaments.
A week after the Regional the Tigers found themselves once again at the “ole’
cow barns.” Central’s showing at the State was a very fine one, in spite of the
fact that they lost out in the second tilt. In defeating Washington the Blue
displayed real basketball skill. Central entered the last battle with high hopes,
but the count that Bedford rolled up in the first half proved to be too great a
lead to overcome, and Mendy’s eagers went down to a 30-24 count.
This closed one of the most successful basketball seasons the school has had.
Thanks to the fine playing of the hardwood boys, to Mendenhall and Bills for
superior coaching, and to Dr. King, Central’s trainer, for watchful care.

Thanks to you, John, for the loyal serv-

the “stuff” for this sort of work. He puts his heart and soul, not to mention his

self among the galaxy of student leaders who have starred in this particularly
difficult brand of boosting for the Blue and White.

When the list of the loyal boosters for Cen-

press) no doubt Dr. A. E. King’s name will
head the list. Although Dr. King has been in
Fort Wayne only two years, he has become most
popular with all the Centralites and patrons as
well as to Fort Wayne citizens in general. A
“'Who’s Who” writeup would say that he is the
donor of the King cup award, which is to be
given each year to the basketball player whose
mental attitude and playing ability has been the
most outstanding during the season. But we
want to say that he is the loyal physician “on

is in the city, out-of-town, or at state. Not
only at games has Dr. King given his services,
but his office hours for Central athletics have
been “All Hours.”

Baseball Resume 1926
Central’s baseball team for the 1926 season looked like a winner from the
very start. On April 16, Baker and Scott, Central's star hurlers, held the
Yellow Jackets to a lone tally while their teammates crossed the plate eighteen
times. A week later Garrett came here for the first home game. Scott blasted
their hopes 4-0. On April 24 the Tigers met the Huntington Vikings and re-
turned with a 12-6 victory. Goshen came here as our next victim and returned
with a 4-2 score. A return game with the Decatur Yellow Jackets was played
here May 1, and they were conquered to the tune of 13-2. The next week Gar-
rett almost put a black mark on Central’s clean slate, but the Tigers found them-
selves and won 6-5. On the following day Bluffton was humbled 8-1. The
diamond men again defeated Huntington 13-2. This was Central’s eighth
consecutive victory', but the fatal game with Muncie a week later ruined our
chances of going through the season undefeated. The Bearcats beat our Tigers
by a 5-3 score. 1927 Schedule

Tennis in Central gives promise of becoming a major sport in the hi tine.
Coached by Les Ortlieb and Hilda Schwehn, backed by the Booster Club,
and with an exceptionally good card, the court sport has become very popular
with the Centralites this year.
Approximately twenty-five people are on the two tennis squads; the girls
team and the boys’ team. The girls had a good team last yeai but aie much
better this year. Regular practice each evening and usually a meet on Friday
or Saturday has featured this year s program.
On the boys’ team are: Dick Heine, Jack Williams, Jack Kitch, and Reece
Gardner. The girls are represented by: Florence Koegel, Margaret Phipps.
Betty Van Arnam, and Audra Dalton. Robert Porter has been acting as
student manager and has scheduled most of the games and provided everything
else necessary.
The first meet was with Marion, there, on April 30, and resulted in a tie.
On May 7, at the country club, Portland was met, and the following week a
hotly contested return meet with Marion was scheduled at the club courts.
The second road trip of the season was taken when the two teams journeyed
to Goshen May 21. The Tigers, and The Bearcats of Muncie provided a
thrilling meet May 27 and the following day Goshen came to Fort Wayne
for a return match. On June 6, the Tiger tennis teams had probably their
hardest fought meet of the year when they went to Culver Military Academy
to engage with the stellar Culver team. Other games were played during this
time but were not placed on the official schedule.
June 2, 3, 4, marked the Central high school tournament which were played
off at the country club courts.
Central is very much indebted to Les Ortlieb, city'’ champion, for his willing-
ness to coach the Central aggregation. He has made a team which any school
would be proud to own, and has done it entirely through his love of the sport
and love for Central people. Miss Schwehn has also accomplished a piece of
work in putting out a girls’ team of which she may well be proud.

MISS SCHWEHN
MISS SCHWEHN
Miss Schwelm has been with us for four
years and has guided the destinies of the
’27 class for the same length of time.
Miss Schwehn has produced fine basket-
ball, baseball, tennis, and volley-ball teams.
She has run off many tournaments and has
conducted gym classes in fine style.
After graduation from Central—then
known as the Fort Wayne High School—
she attended Battle Creek Physical Educa-
tion School, and after completing her course
there she attended Olivet College, from
which she graduated in June, 1922. She
came to Central in the fall of that same
year and has been with us ever since. Her
faithful devotion to Central had followed
her all through college and she was right
there to give back to her Alma Mater all she
had gained.
MISS MOTT
Miss Mott whose home is at Minneapo-
lis, Minnesota, was graduated from the
University of Minnesota where she re-
ceived her B.S. degree. During her high
school and college career she played basket-
ball. Perhaps that is why she is such a
splendid coach.
Under her able coaching the girls have
progressed rapidly. They have learned
many new things which have made them
better players and finer sports. Miss Mott
also teaches gymnasium.
We quote Miss Mott’s first impression
of Central: “The first day of school last
fall left a very favorable impression upon
me. The orderliness in the halls, and the
courtesy of the students were the first
things that I noticed. As time wore on I
realized that this was not only the first
impression, but an enduring one.”
MISS MOTT
Informal Qijm
In addition to the other athletics, there is the gym class and when we investi-
gate we find some very interesting things going on there.
In the gym, various games, exercises, and contests are enjoyed by the girls.
The gym classes meet twice a week and are given over to many forms of exer-
cise. Some days the girls are taught difficult exercises and stunts, which require
skill to accomplish. Dancing is another thing the girls enjoy. They not only
do simple folk dances, but also clogging, jigging, and they learn other difficult
steps.
In the fall and winter basketball and volley-ball are played in the gym
periods. In the spring and summer baseball is played too. The girls go outside
on Central’s campus and have real, live, exciting games.
Jumping, relays, and other games, furnish fun and plenty of exercise for the
girls at other times. In Miss Mott's gym classes the girls take exercises to
music. They also march to music and they have had good times marching in
the regular military manner. The girls who fail to take gym or who drop it
after their freshman year surely lose loads of good times and healthful exercise.

Girls' Basketball
Every year a class tournament is played for the honor of having the winning
class numeral on the Marcella Koeber cup. This year the class of 1927 won
the tournament. The 1927 class now has its numerals on the cup twice.
In 1926 when the cup was first awarded the 1927 class won the cham-
pionship and has repeated its victory again.
The tournament was as follows:
Date Classes Score Winner
February 25 Sophomores and Freshmen 25-30 Sophomores
March 2 Freshmen and Juniors 27-20 Freshmen
March 2 Seniors and Sophomores 37-18 Seniors

Volley Ball
Volley-ball was one of the outstanding sports of the fall season
A regular tournament was played with, teams composed of people
shown the most ability in the practice sessions.
There were three teams: The Blue, Green, and Brown. The
girls were on the respective teams:
Blue
Alma Crawford, Captain
Venus Faux
Alta McNelly
LaVerne Hibler
Jane Bradtmiller
Ruth Doenges
Katherine Zwick
These girls came out
places on the team.
The tournament was won by the Blue team. After the tournament, an all-
star team was chosen, which was composed of the following members.
Vera Wyrick Mary Pratt Dorothy Tonkel
Thelma Scoles Venus Faux Bernice Reeves
Alta McNelly
This team played the teachers and were victorious every game they played.
These were the last games on the schedule, and it was thought probable that a
game with the faculty men could be scheduled, but this was never done.
Volley-ball never has been really one of Central's sports, but Miss Schwehn
and Miss Mott want to make it one of the annual sports of Central, ranking
with baseball and tennis.

INDOOR BASEBALL
baseball
Hear the call, “Play ball! Play ball!” Doesn’t your hand just itch to hold
a bat and swat the ball skimming over across the left fielder’s head? The
varsity team of last year never had a chance to prove its ability so we now
give it recognition for the fine sportsmanship it showed.
The girls were chosen for their excellent playing and co-operation with
each other and the coaches. They were chosen from the inter-class games,
those showing the best playing were given a place on the all-star team, as the
varsity was called.
Ignota W inter, our all-round athlete and fielder, and Zelda Rosenthal, our
second baseman, were graduated in February.
Among those who will be graduated in June are:
Margaret Phipps, an all-round athlete and our star pitcher; Mary Pratt,
basketball star and first baseman; Thelma Scoles, basketball guard and catcher
foi Marg ; Dorothy Michaels, basketball and baseball player; Hope Harnish,
all-round athlete and star fielder; and Martha Renier, all-around athlete.

Hey Club
“To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community
high standards of Christian character” is the purpose of the Hi-Y, a club spon-
sored by the Y. M. C. A. for junior and senior boys.
The club meetings, which are in the form of banquets, are held every Thurs-
day evening at the Y. M. C. A. During the past year many clever programs
were arranged. At the opening meeting of the new semester in February the
topic for discussion was “What I Would Do if Principal.” A special program
on "He Knew Lincoln” was given February 10, and another on “Ben Hur,” Feb-
ruary 17. "The Bible and Evolution” formed the basis of one discussion, and
What Our Girl Friends Expect of Us,” “My Ideal Teacher,” “What Is a Good
Citizen? , and What College and Why?” were a few of the other interesting
topics. •
The Hi-Y’ers have also had several social events. On March 17 a St. Patrick’s
Party was given in the South Side Cafeteria. In April they joined with the
members of the Friendship and So-Si-Y Clubs and gave a peppy April Fool
ParW at the A . M. C . A. The Mother and Son Banquet, one of their annual
affairs, was held on May 12.

The Junior Hi-Y Club was organized at the Y. M. C. A. last fall at the
opening oi the school term, by a few high school fellows who had enjoyed the
privileges of Christian fellowship during the past semesters. This group of
pupils was anxious to continue this fellowship and was eager to organize the club
with other freshmen and sophomore boys.
Although the club began with relatively few members, it has steadily grown
in numbers and in interest throughout the year. The club members have tried
to create and maintain, in their own lives and in the lives of others, higher
standards of Christian character. To accomplish this aim, discussion groups
have been organized and conducted throughout the year. Special emphasis
was placed on a regular Bible study program during the period leading up to
the Easter season.
Some of the events to be long remembered by the members of the club are:
the Father and Son Banquet, a Christmas party for more than thirty less fortu-
nate boys of the city, a lecture by Winfred Scott Hall on “Chivalry,” and many
trips through some of the more common industries of the city.

Sorosis Literary Society
To promote the reading and appreciation of good literature is, as the name
implies, the purpose of the Sorosis Literary Society. The membership of the
club is placed upon a scholarship basis, and only girls 10A or over, who have an
average of B are permitted to join.
During the first part of the year the programs consisted of the study of the
works of the modern poets. These included Carl Sanburg, Joyce Kilmer, and
others. The latter part of the year was spent with the works of modern authors:
such as Margaret Widdemer, Temple Bailey, and Jeffrey Farnol.
Sorosis is well-known for its patriotic programs. On Armistice Day, George
Washington’s birthday, and Memorial Day, the club presented before the
student body very impressive programs. On each occasion a member of the
club was in charge, and an appropriate talk was given by some well-known
person.
“To be intensely interesting” is the motto of Sorosis, and the girls, with the
help of their very competent advisor, Miss Welch, are doing their best to live
up to it. Although Sorosis was late in getting started this year, it has made
great headway, and its outlook for the future is extremely bright.

Brush and Pencil Club
The Brush and Pencil Club was organized two years ago by the Art Depart-
ment with (he purpose of “creating a finer appreciation and broader knowledge
of Art, which will result in increased enjoyment in the truth and beauty of liv-
ing.’’ Such a club as this had been a needed institution in Central, and its
organization, encouraged by Miss Newman and others, has brought a happy
culmination to the dreams of art-lovers of the school.
The club has proved itself to be a worthy daughter of Central in many ways.
One of its greatest projects was the making of ten large light-shades, which are
to be used in decorating the gymnasium for dances and parties. The shades
are orange and yellow with conventional designs of birds and flowers carried
out in black. The frames are a shield shape, and are forty inches high. The
members have also made and sold dainty white handkerchiefs on which they
had painted blue tiger heads.
The club is by no means one of all work and no play. Interesting meetings
are held on the second Monday in each month and clever programs are presented.
During the two years of its existence, the Brush and Pencil Club has made re-
markable headway, and its members are looking with eagerness to the future,
anxious to show the school what an indispensable organization it is.

Mathematics Club
With the purpose of bringing to those interested in mathematics a greater
vision of the subject, and of giving an opportunity for a closer friendship be-
tween the teachers and students of the department, the Math Club was organ-
ized in 1913. During the past year between fifty and sixty members realized
the aim of the club under the leadership of the presidents, Arthur Gouty and
Maurice Glock. The club has always held a prominent place in the activities
of Central. The membership includes those students who have work in mathe-
matics beyond 10B geometry.
The programs of the year have been both educational and entertaining.
One evening Mr. Dilts gave an interesting and instructive talk on “Chemistry
and Mathematics. At another meeting James Anglin, an alumnus and former
president of the club, explained the “College Board Entrance Examinations.”
Other subjects discussed by members of the faculty were: “History of Mathe-
matics;” “Slide Rule;” and “Magic Squares.”
The club s reputation for its social times has been well maintained. Con-
tests of various types were the favorite amusement of the meetings. The enter-
tainment was most fittingly followed by the “always welcome” refreshments.
One of the outstanding “good times” is the annual picnic. The Club owes its
success largely to the guidance and support of its loyal faculty advisors.

Student Players' Club
To create an interest in dramatics and to develop the talent of those interested
is the very high purpose of the Student Players’ Club. Its advisor is Miss
Marjorie Suter, Central’s' capable director of dramatics. To be a member of
this organization one must take part in a play or assist in the production of one
and must have passing grades in all subjects. In this way, the membership is
restricted to those students who are really interested in dramatics and who are
willing to work for its advancement.
The members are really rather extraordinary individuals, and we never know
in what forms to expect them next. We have seen them as haggard old men;
as dainty, graceful dancers; as dirty, uneducated products of the slums;
sophisticated children of wealth; and what is more, they not only pretend their
parts, but they actually live them! They learn to forget their own personalities
and to throw themselves entirely into the characters they are portraying.
The plays given this year by the organization were as follows: “The Social
Matinee;’’ “If Men Played Cards as Women Do;” “Cindy;” and “The Maker
of Dreams.” These plays were all enthusiastically received by the student body.

The Spocal Club is Central’s publication club. Although it is a new organ-

came into existence during the year 1925. All members of the major staffs of
the Spotlight and Caldron are eligible for membership. The club endeavors
to further interest in the school publications and to accomplish greater things
for Central in the way of press.
At the first meeting of the year, Robert Portor was elected president.
The initial social event was in the form of a peppy party, given in the cafeteria.
The Spocal members also made clever note-books from the covers of left-over
1925 Caldrons and sold them to the students.
For the second term, Paul Aumann was made president. After the regional
tournament the club gave a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. A trio furnished music
for the affair, and clever after-dinner talks were given by the editors and advisors
of the publications.

Friendship Club
Before the Girl Reserve movement was started in the Y. W. C. A., Miss
Harrah feeling the need of bringing something inspirational and spiritual into
the high school girls life, organized the Friendship Club in 1916.
Has Friendship Club fulfilled its purpose and thus justified its existence?
Perhaps we may judge from the lives of some of the girls who have been its
leaders.
Elsie Kinerk, ’17, the first president of the club is secretary to the president
of the Real Silk Hosiery Company of Indianapolis.
Marie Umbach Campbell, ’19, was for several years counsellor of the Younger
Business Girls’ Club in our own Y. W. C. A.
Dorothy Simpson, '20, is an instructor of physical education in the University
of Omaha; while Katherine Jackson, '20. is using the facilities of the local Y. W.
C. A. to teach the girls of the city how to keep their bodies fit for work and
service.
Helen Wooding, '21, has been president of the college Y. W. C. A. in the Uni-
versity of Chicago and will receive her master’s degree from that institution in
June. Esther Moll, '21. is Personnel Director of the Indianapolis Employment
Bureau.
Arietta Schmuck, '22, was for two years secretary of the grade school Girl
Reserves and was succeeded this year by Kathryn Wilson, also of the class of
’22. Kathryn, too, had the honor of being president of her college Y. W. C. A.
at the University of Michigan.
Mary Alice Kendricks, ’23, is now in Ohio Wesleyan College and has been
elected to the Writers’ Club, an honor coveted by all, and is planning to enter
the field of Social Service after graduation.

11. P. D.
The U. P. D., the Y. W. C. A. club for underclassmen, started the year with
a peppy party given by the sophomores for the freshmen girls.
This year the club tried a new system of presenting programs. The mem-
bership was divided into five interest groups—dramatic discussion, recreation,
music, and art. Each group took charge of one meeting and carried out the
program in accordance with its special subject. Since each girl could choose
the group she wished to join, she naturally chose the one she liked best and,
consequently, the one for which she was most fitted. As a result of this method,
peppy, as well as instructive, programs were presented.
Neither did the U. P. D.’s, with all their good times forget the service work
they are accustomed to do. At Christmas time they sent over one hundred
Christmas cards and puzzles to the Soldiers' Hospital at Dayton, Ohio. They
also filled their quota for the needlework guild.
The success of the U. P. D. has been due largely to the combined efforts of
the peppy set of officers and the energetic and enthusiastic group of advisors,
which includes Miss Reynard, Miss Oberlin, Miss Furst, and Miss Lucasse.
With their guidance and advice the U. P. D’.s have been able to live up to the
ree virtues for which their name stands—Usefulness, Patriotism, and Devotion.

U. P. D.
The High School Girls’ Reserve Club has a two-fold purpose in Central. It
contains the good work already started by the Y. W. C. A. in the grade schools
by connecting it with high school work. Besides this it gives a high school girl
a chance to express her ideals, work out her schemes, mingle with her newly
made friends, and develop her powers of leadership.
Girls’ clubs are a necessity in the lives of all girls. U. P. D. fulfills its pur-
pose in trying to live up to its motto.
Each meeting is carried on in a business-like manner. The community
spirit is developed through the service committee and the ensemble singing.
A certain per cent of the meetings are social. Different committees plan and
execute games, plan and prepare refreshments and in every way try to create
an atmosphere of hospitality. The devotional part of the club is always empha-
sized. Very often the discussion meetings are on topics of vital importance.
The girls respond most cordially to the inspirational talks furnished by the
Y. W. and by outside speakers.
Those at all familiar with the code for this organization must appreciate the
influence that its teachings must have on the average freshman and sophomore.
It can be truthfully said that the Central girls mean it when they say, “I will try
to face life squarely.”

Home Economics Club
The Home Economics Club was organized two years ago by several of the
teachers and students of the Economics Department who had for some time
past cherished dreams of such a club. A splendid response came to their call
for members, and the club at once began its spectacular career. Its advisors
are Miss Barnes, Miss Pate, Miss Beyerlein. and Miss Strauss, and it is evident
I that with such a capable group to ofler advice, the club can never err.
Any one who has taken a one year course in Home Economics is eligible
for membership. Two meetings are held each month, and interesting and in-
structive programs are always presented. Last year a series of educational
talks on Health were given by Miss Gorrell.
The Home Economics Club has also done much service work, both in the
sc loo and out. Among other things, the members made lamp shades for the
eerans ospital in Kentucky. They sewed the C’s on the sweaters for the
earns, an they presented to the school a table equipped with money drawers,
etc., which is to be used for sales in the lower hall. They also sold and made a
US'<ne" <'anc'' Own invention—chocorice, which immediately
won great popularity with the student body.

Stage
One of the greatest activities and most successful is that of the stage. Central
has a state-wide reputation for the dramas, operettas, and vod-vils that she
presents.
This year this activity burst forth in all its splendour with “Cindy” or “The
Vanishing Princess” as the Christmas play given by The Student Players’ Club.
Janet Egly, Jack Kitch, George Thain, and Bill Rhamy carried their parts in
the play exceedingly well. The play was very different and appealed to every-
one who saw it. “Pinafore,” an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, sponsord by
the music department, was next on the list. Dorthea Nelson, Wade McCoy,
Clausen McKim, Rosalia Pollak, Milton Rosenthal, Esther Davies, Carl Riedel
and Herbert Widenhofer, a chorus of eighty and our school orchestra carried the
“Pinafore” along on a smooth sea.
The next showings to blossom forth were two plays given by the Student
Player’s Club under the able direction of Miss Marjorie Suter, Central’s famous
dramatic director. “The Social Matinee,” a very clever play disclosing some
habits of women, had a cast of eight or ten very capable actresses. “If Men
Played Cards As Women Do,” the second of these plays, was well given by Jack
Kitch, Clausen McKim, Jack Williams and Paul Aumann.
In February everyone at school was seeing black and white for the time
of the “Black and White Vod-vil” was at hand. As the name implies “black”
and white alike took part. We challenge the Keith circuit to put forth a better
bill than did the Senior class and the Boosters’ Club in this performance.
William Shakespeare became our friend for life after we had witnessed the
production of “As "You Like It” sponsored by the English Department. Jean
Basil showed her ability in the part of Rosalind. She was supported by a good
cast consisting of Harold Korn, Morgan Lewis, Marjorie Hawkins, William
Bittier, Hillis Harris and Ruth Burhop. The play was beautifully staged and
the costumes delighted everyone. Miss Suter also directed this play.
The last play of the season given by the Student Players’ Club was “The
Maker of Dreams” in which Jean Basil was Pierrette, Morgan Lewis, Pierrot, and
Bill Rhamy, the Maker of Dreams. The costuming of this play was unusually
beautiful. The lighting effects were gotten by Jack Coombs, a student ot the
Fort Wayne Art School and an honorary member of the Student Players' Club.
The music for this play was furnished by Bill Miller and Tom Snook.
Mrs. Partridge Presents” was given as the senior class play. Miss Suter
directed the production, and Harriet Hiester took the leading role.

Public Speaking
Miss Mary E. Cromer, our very efficient coach in debating, has been in
Central for six years, and during this time she has produced a number of winning
teams. The class of ’27 sincerely appreciates her aid and friendly cooperation.
The Northeastern Indiana Debating League, of which Central, South Side.
Leo, and Huntington are members,staged some very exciting debates this season.
The subject that was debated was “Resolved, That the United States should
cancel all war debts owed her by her allies.” Central’s defenders were:
Affirmative Byron Novitsky (captain), Thoburn Wiant, Philip Bowen,
Mildred Tonkel (alternate).
Negative—Ernest Tonkel (captain), Thelma Merillat, Naffie Gladstone,
Katherine Croxall (alternate).
Die meets ended in a tie between Huntington and Central, each school hav-
ing lost one affirmative debate. This tie was debated off in January in Central’s
auditorium in the presence of an enthusiastic audience. Although Central’s
men fought with might and main” the Huntington team captured the cham-
pionship title. The debaters in the championship contest were:
Affirmative—Byron Novitsky (captain), Ernest Tonkel, Thoburn Wiant,
hihp Bowen (alternate). The negative was upheld by Huntington.

Public Speaking
One of the unique features in Central debating this year was a girls’ team.
Goshen girls made bold and challenged the Central co-ed speakers to a contest
on April 5 with the subject “Resolved, That a department of education with
a secretary in the President’s cabinet should be established.’’ Both affirma-
tive teams were victorious in the contest. The girls on the Central teams were:
Affirmative—Katherine Croxall (captain), Mary Pratt, Hope Harnish, Ruth
Godwin (alternate).
Negative—Thelma Merillat (captain), Mildred Tonkel, Dorothea Ward,
Lucile Hoenes (alternate).
Throughout the debating season John Welch and Theodore Hagermann acted
as the able managers of the teams. Much credit for the success of the debat-
ing this year is due to the efforts of these managers.

Public Speaking
Central has been represented in other contests this year. Two extemporan-
eous contests, one each semester, were held. The speakers for the first contest
were Katherine Croxall. Don Johnson, John Welch, Mary Pratt, Rose Katzen-
burg, and Ernest Tonkel. The topics for discussion were “European Travel;’’
“Radio;’’ and “Murder by Motor.” Katherine Croxall, a senior, whose subject
was “European Travel,” was the winner. Don Johnson and John Welch were
winners of the second and third places respectively. The second contest was
held April 28, with Ruth Godwin. Thoburn Wiant, John McMeen, and Carl
Jacobs contesting. The subjects were “What’s the Matter with the Police?”;
“Daylight Savings for Fort Wayne;” and “Getting into College.” Carl Jacobs,
a sophomore, “ran off” with the honors of the contest with Thoburn Wiant com-
ing in a close second. Katherine Croxall and Carl Jacobs both had the honor
of having their names engraved on the Benner and Koerber cups.
Another public speaking event of the year was the National Oratorical
Contest on the Constitution. Ernest'Tonkel, Katherine Croxall, Mary Pratt,
and Frederick Beck spoke on the various phases of the Constitution. Katherine
Croxall was the winner of second place in the county contest which was held
April 20th.
Band
When Mr. Roland Schaffer started the organization of our band there were
grave doubts as to its outcome, but our fears have been chased away by the
wonderful results that have grown out of his work and the work of Mr. Teel.
Our band now is an organization of which Central may be proud. Mr. Teel, the
director of the band, has worked very hard to improve the playing of these boys.
We have all enjoyed listening to the band play at football and basketball games
and we also realize how much pep it arouses when it appears at pep meetings.
This musical aggregation played for all the home games and also for the
regional tournament. It played for one out-of-town game at Kendallville.
Clausen McKim was assistant director of the band and helped Mr. Teel
greatly in making the band have a successful year.
The members of the organization are: Paul Barr, Robert Bieberich, Ralph
Bogardus, Luther Clippinger, Gerald Doty, Paul Mensing, Leonard Eby, Donald
Elder, Alvey Hennig, Dale Hiller, Leonard Hizer, Paul Holderman, Gates
Horton, Howard Craft, Clausen McKim, Roland Miller, Leroy Miller, Norman

Orchestra
This year, under the direction of Mr. Stanley Teel, Central has had the
largest and best orchestra in the history of the school. In five years it has
grown from a small nine piece orchestra to a large forty-five piece organization.
The orchestra now has an almost full instrumentation and is one of the greatest
assets in the music department.
The outstanding appearance of the orchestra was at the state contest at
Elkhart, in May, where Central tied for third place. This was the first time
Central's musicians had entered any state competition. In December the
orchestra assisted in the production of “Pinafore,” a comic opera presented by
the music department. Other appearances of the organization were at teachers’
meetings, at many schools in the city, and at the program given during National
Music Week. In the repertoire of the orchestra are the numbers: Finlandia,
a tone poem; The Rakoczy March; and Ballet Egyptian.
The members of the orchestra are: John Bastian, Lucille Beber, Marcelene
Beber, Oliver Boldt, Walter Bruechner, Edith Brittenham, Gerald Doty, Donald
Elder, Glenn Elder, Leon Etzler. Lois Evans, Jean Forsythe, Lucille Garman,

Qirls’ Quartette
The Girls’ Quartette, under the direction of Mr. Mathews, has always been
one of the most prominent and popular organizations in Central’s music depart-
ment. This year’s quartette has succeeded in bringing more fame to Central
and her music department through the many appearances it has made. The
quartette has been in constant demand this year, which shows its popularity
and the way its programs are appreciated.
The girls appeared on a program which was given by Central’s music de-
partment for the International Business College. The girls also sang on the
Armistice Day program, at numerous assemblies, at a concert at the James
Smart School, and at the Spring Concert program.

the members of the organization selected for its officers: President, Carl Wil-
kins; Vice-President, Clausin McKim; Accompanist, Elmer Doege.
Under the direction of Mr. Paul Mathews, the boys took more interest in
singing this year, as was shown by their excellent work in “Pinafore”. The
Boys’ Glee Club appeared in the mixed chorus, at the spring concert during
National Music week, and at several assembly programs.
Favorite numbers included in the repertoire of this organization were:
"Soldiers Chorus” from Faust; “0 Sole Mio”; and “Winter Song” by Bullard.

of Mr. Paul Mathews. This year’s organization, which is composed of one
hundred and fifteen members, is divided into three groups. Rehearsals are held
twice a week on school time.
By its several public appearances, the Girls’ Glee Club has not only brought
honor to Central, but has also popularized the music department.

National Music Week, and at various school affairs.
Favorite numbers of the organization were: “Morning,” by Speaks; “Wake

String Quartette
This is the first time in the history' of Central that the school has had an
organization of this kind. We have never been lucky to find four such good
musicians who were able to play together for the enjoyment of the students
and faculty.
The quartette won itself a name and a good reputation soon after its organiza-
tion by presenting a program at the International Business College. They
played for the Armistice program, given by the Sorosis Literary Society, the
teachers’ Christmas party, and a program at the Adams School.
The outstanding numbers in the repertoire of the quartette were Andante
Cantabile, Largo from the New World Symphony by Handel, and the Famous

Qhe Spotlight
The Spotlight began its fall career under the tutelage of John White, one of
Central’s most eminent journalists. A Senior edition and a ten-page Christmas
issue were among the most outstanding of the journalistic productions of the
year. A variety of front page make-ups, clever cuts, scintillating features and
interesting news added to the originality and attractiveness of the first semester
papers.
The following staff members, assisted by forty-two hard working reporters,
produced a paper worthy of the name of Central High School: Editor-in-chief,

Spotlight Reporters
The Spotlight, Central’s weekly newspaper, is put out by the students who
have shown ability and interest along journalistic lines. This year there came
to Central a new advisor, Miss Leah Austin, whose guidance has been the chief
influence in raising the qualities and usefulness of the paper. The staff under
her supervision has worked diligently to make the Spotlight everything that is
expected of it and through their efforts a truly better paper has been created.
The Spotlight tries to present to the students and faculty in clear, concise form
the news of events in which any Centralite might be interested and to establish
an outlet for those of the student body whose talents tend toward writing.

It is hoped that this year’s Caldron edited by the class of 1927 has succeeded
in some degree in achieving the high aims set forth by its staff. We have con-
scientiously tried to give to the school what we felt it wanted in the school
annual and each stall member has done his share in fulfilling this desire.
The staff, headed by Rosalia Pollak as editor, has endeavored to embody
in this book all the activities of our school during the past year in an interesting
and clever way. We have not only tried to come up to the standard of all the
preceding annuals, but we have tried to make our annual the best ever. This
we tried to do, not only in improving the contents of the book, but in making
the circulation wider than ever before.
We will leave the decision as to whether or not we have succeeded to you,
the readers for whose benefit this book has been published. We hope that you
will enjoy your book and that in years to come, you will be able, with the help
of this book, to recall memories of your former high school days.

This year’s book was made possible largely
through the untiring efforts of Miss Hurst and by
her willingness at any time to help and guide any
member of the staff.
Miss Hurst has been an ambitious staff member
in trying to make the Caldron a success, and we are
all grateful for her help and guidance.
Next year Miss Hurst will go to North Side to
teach and to direct the activities of their school
annual. With her departure Central will lose one
of her most valuable faculty members. But Cen-
tral’s loss will be North Side’s gain, and although
we hate to lose her, we wish her all manner of suc-
cess in her work in our sister school.

Fraqmenta Latina
Fragmenta Latina is the publication of the Latin department of Central.
It^was launched in 1919 under the guidance of Stewart Hulse and William
Merrill. For that one year the Junior High Latin Departments of Jefferson
and Harmar schools joined with Central. The editors for the paper since then
have been as follows: 1920-1921, Joseph Folsom and Mabel Gresley; 1921-
1922, Ned Arick; 1922-1923, Howard Tenny and John Shoaf; 1923-1924, Poyn-
ter McEvoy and David Bernstein; 1924-1925, James Anglin and Vere Kint;
and 1925-1926, Virgil Norford and Richard Heine. The history of the paper
shows big advancement. It has been enlarged from a two-column edition to
one double that size with a change in price from one cent a copy to five cents.
In 1924 an addition was made to the staff. One reporter from each Latin
class was elected as its representative, for the paper. This plan is still being
used. Much credit is due Miss Beyerlein, who has faithfully and ably filled the
position of advisor for the paper.
The first edition of the year 1926-1927 was unique in the fact that the first
page represented a paper of Cicero’s time. Glaring headlines at the top of the
page stated “Cicero has returned from Exile.’’ This idea was kept throughout
the page.
The purpose of Fragmenta Latina is to stimulate interest among the students
of the department in the study of Latin.

The Keyboard is a publication of the Commercial department. All of the
work is clone by students and equipment of the department.
The staff was elected by a number of commercial students assembled for that
purpose. They bring in the material which is then corrected, typed, stenciled,
mimeographed, and the paper is “made up.” The publication consists of com-
mercial news and notes, society, jokes, editorials, literary page, and cartoons.
The Keyboard, is for the purpose of helping the school learn more of the
Commercial department. The first issue of this year was a big success and al-
ways can be with the support of the student body. The paper is under the sup-

MADELINE CROMWELL
Indiana. High School Press Association President
Last October, a large delegation went to Franklin, Indiana, to attend the
Indiana High School Press Association Convention. Never before had Central
been so well represented at any convention.
We had never had a student at Central hold an office in the Association,
so we all decided that it was about time to spread our wings and soar into the
heights. Our selected candidate was Madeline Cromwell, a junior, whom we put
up for president of the Association. Then the strenuous campaigning started.
At the election we all had the thrill of our lives when we heard the words “Fort
Wayne’’ being repeated over and over again as the ballots were cast. Madeline
was elected president by a large majority. Central had won a much coveted
honor. She was the possessor of the presidency of the Indiana High School
Press Association. Madeline is the first girl to hold presidency of the Associa-
tion. I
On March 26, Madeline went to Indianapolis to preside at a meeting of the
organization.
We hope that next term Central will have a larger delegation than ever and
that she will again win honors that will be a credit to her name.

The Origin of 228
Wav back in the dark ages, even before the time of Mrs. Clark, about the time when Adam
was beginning kindergarten and was throwing paperwads at Eve, there lived a certam tribe of
beings who were called Manaboofklwighe (pronounced hke our modern word Knae.ouyhnskyz,
only with the q made long as in China). Now this particular tribe were regular o d-fash.oned,
women-hating, gedunk-drinking, school-hating, he-men, who would have sat.sfied Harold Teen
and his B Y Club’s wildest desires. Each had the weight of Bob Ramsey, the height of
“Mutt” Jasper the brains of Dick Heine and Martha Harris, and the actions of Freddie Stephan
and ParkDrayer, and all the rest of Central’s “funny” boys combined. Verily, each even had
some of Miss McCloud’s temper, though not as much as she for even in that day, month, year,
and age some things were impossible.
You ask me why you had never heard of these remarkable people before. Well, you see it
was like this. 1 just discovered them and am now writing their history; that is, the history of
their intellect. For an account of their athletics and sports see Sports of the Manaboofklwighi
as Compared with Those of the Greeks” by Wiant and Aumann, verified by Miss Smeltzly,
proof-read by Austin and Hurst. For the pronunciation of names given see “Talker’s Inter-
township Dictionary” in 1000 volumes, weight 20,000 pounds. This is the famous pocket-edition
which can easily be carried with you in a ten ton truck. Better yet, make up your own pro-
nunciations.
These prohysteric people were especially noted for their fine schools. Did I say they hated
schools? So they did, so they did, but someone is always taking the joy out of life. Their schools
were magnificient, being portable so that as the scholars advanced in grade, they could be moved
to a little higher ground. Their teachers were the best in the world at that time. Please notice
the list of celebrities they had on their string: Old Man Square-the-Circle, who taught Euclid's
Geometry (he’s the guy who invented the “Square meal”); More-sure and Day-long, the History
teachers; Suit-her, the Director of Dramatics, not so good as our Miss Suter; Mat-hews and 1 ale,
the Music teachers, (Irving Berlin studied their style) and others too numerous to mention. But
the principal, the head-teacher, the leader, and the tyrant of the school was Tu-Twenty-Ate.
He was a holy terror.
Tu-Twenty-Ate’s method of procedure was simple, but effective. He was always right, at
all times and on all occasions. For a mild offence like being late to school, the culprit was prompt-
ly shut up in a cave and required to read Cicero’s Orations, being fed during the period of con-
finement on a light diet of frankfurters, sauerkraut and Limburger cheese. If someone forgot
to sign up in the library, or if he signed the wrong seat number, that person was bawled out
unceasingly and without stopping for a long time. For the worst offense, when some poor,
benighted Manboofklwighc became too vociferous and disagreed with Tu-Twenty-Ate, he was
immediately given a few light love-taps with a stone hammer on the top of his more or less ivory
cranium, and was thereby dispatched into the realms of Heslippedemuphere, where the ignorant
may rest their overworked brains and the Charleston dancers their overworked legs.
Tu-Twenty-Ate was very able assisted by Honk-e-Tonk. He was the chief bouncer and did
all the cheesing, he even made the Limburger. Honk-e-Tonk was commonly called “Honk
and was viewed with fear and trembling. When people saw him coming, they promptly cried out,
on ’. onk. Then all scattered to safety among the trees and their cousins, the Monkeys.
t is from this that the auto manufacturers conceived the idea of making the horn sound “honk-
honk. People hear it and promptly get out of the way.
^k-i5,0 TU T^enty-Ate became a demi-god, but an evil one. Parents, instead of telling
t k the Bugaboo would get them, said they would send them to Tu-Twenty-Ate.
eachers threatened to send pupils to Tu-Twenty-Ate if they did not get their lessons. It started
then and is continuing now. Tu T«vl, '

Ivanhoe as Advertised
Part 1. The Forest
1. Brian de Bois Guilbert inquired the way to Cedric's manor and Wamba replied, "Your nose
knows.”
2. Gurth warned the Templar not to attempt to pass through the forest at that particular place
on account of the thickets, but the latter exclaimed, “I am not worried, I use Kelly Springfields!”
3. While passing through the heretoforcsaid thicket Brian snagged his hose, as he failed to wear
Hole-Proof Hosiery today, although “you just know he wears them” usually.
4. 1 he knight was caught in the thickets, but finally managed to get out and he accomplished
by himself what it would take another to do with Borax's twenty mule team.
Part 2. Cedric’s manor
1. The floors were cold and bare because they lacked Congoleum rugs.
2. Rowena entered the hall powdering the "skin you love to touch" because she believed in the
old saying "save the surface and you save all.”
3. Olcomargerine was not used at the feast, even though four out of five had it and the fifth
one sold it, because Cedric believed in the saying "accept no substitutes.”
4. They used Wrigley's after every meal and they smoked Fatimas because a few cents makes
a whale of a difference and besides they were too tired to "walk a mile for a Camel."
5. Cedric read the “Last Love" because it was 99.44% pure (rot).
6. After the feast the servants brought in Fisks because it was “time to retire.”
Part 3. The Tournament
1. The grandstands were filled with “fifty-seven varieties" of ladies who possessed “that school-
girl complexion.”
2. The combatants were drawn up in the "danger line.” Among them was Willys Knight in
armor, "body by Fisher,” (no metal can touch you).
3. Pierce Arrows were used exclusively in the archery contest because “there is something about
them you like.”
4. Much enthusiasm was aroused and someone from the lists shouted, "Kodak as they go.”
Some of the knights fought as if they needed Fleischman’s Yeast to wake them up.
Part 4. The House Party
1. Mazda lamps “light the world,” but Rowena basked in love light as she sat down at the
Steinway, "the instrument of the immortals.”
2. Ivanhoe lit a stogy and Rowena cooed, “Blow some my way."
3. Adoringly Ivanhoe gazed into the lady’s eyes and said, “Eventually, why not now, unless,
there is a reason."
4. Rowena gave a sigh of joy for she had been "often a bride’s maid, but never a bride."
Moral: All’s well that ends well, (draw your own conclusion).

faith in these boys, and that maybe they’d
go out and conquer things and be heroes like
Wayne Kepler and Virgil Norford and Pres-
ton Slack and Jack White and some of our
other war-like gods. And I just told Gloria
that maybe these boys didn’t know that
they should pay the bill when they take a
girl thirst-quenching at Ewings, but 1 just
said they’d learn, and some day 1 told Gloria
that these very boys would know that a soda
satisfies a hungry girl more than a coke.
OCTOBER
Well Gloria and I are awful football
fans so we went out to the Bluffton game
and have been going all the time since.
Well while we were out to the game why
who should come up but Park Drayer and
Bob Gardner and asked us if we would eat
an ice cream pie with them, and Gloria just
acted awful and wouldn't pay any attenshim
to them whatever, and just then Steve
Marshall gained about 12 yards out on the
field where the team was playing football,
and Gloria just went sorta frantick and she
just squeezed my hand and said “Oh my
dear this just thrills me to death”—and right
in front of Bob and Park she said—“does his
uncle (meaning Steve’s) give him lots of
nickels for cokes”—Well I tried to quiet her.
and after she wasn't so panicky I just told
Gloria that she’d better have taken that ice
cream pie because Park and Bob both drove
cars all their own sometimes and it would
have meant a lot to let people see us eating
with them.

Well, I and Gloria are just getting down
to work. I just told Gloria there was so
much glamor around girls like us at the
entrants of school that no one in our position
could be expected to spend much time with
the edgeucational program. Well Xmas will
soon be here and 1 just told Gloria we 'd
better begin to attach ourselves to boys like
George Southworth and Dick Laue because
they always bought girls such lovely presence,
and I just told Gloria that girls like us
would have to look out for ourselves. Well
Gloria and I went down to Koerbers and
picked out some gorgeous compacts and
emerald bracelets and things, and Gloria
said maybe they 'd better just lay them
back, and 1 just told Gloria that no man
could be expected to buy those things 'til
he 'd had some training, so I and Gloria
went out to find Dick and George.

DECEMBER
Well, after Gloria’s official bow to society
which was made at the Thanksgiving dance
at Lincolndale, why Gloria just raved all
the time about a fellow called Carl Wilkins
who she met with at the dance and she didn't
seem to bother about getting back to work
on her historic. Gloria and this Carl Wil-
kins had become practically inseperable and
every day you could see them at Ewing’s,
in fact their case was simply vialent. Why,
Carl got so that he was in a terrible panick
whenever Gloria would look at another man,
and I and Gloria went to the operetta “The
Pinafore," and Gloria squeezed my hand
and said isn’t Stanley Teel just too marvel-
ous when he directs that orchestra, and right
back of her was Carl Wilkins. As soon as
the performance was over, why Carl came
up to Gloria’s surprize and with the awe-
fullest face and harshest tone, said to Gloria,
“Come here, you scion.” Well Gloiia had
been called a lot of harsh names by gentle-
men but never anything so serious as that
and it left a nasty gash in Gloria's heart.

Well, I and Gloria are now both out in
society, and since the New Year’s dance
I’m on the Social Register, and I just told
Gloria that it was such a releaf to know that
you was accepted and it really meant pres-
teege to be in the register. But 1 just told
Gloria that she’d have to be pretty careful
about who she ran around with because
Carl Wilkins had been acting terrible fran-
tick, and I had heard miners that Carl had
some decketives working to see what she
was doing. The way I heard it rumered
was that Anne Hayden and Paul Mensing
kept running around with a note book taking
notes, and then they’d run to Carl and tell
him something and then they’d say, “Ask
me another.”
And Tom Popp said that the things Carl
was saying about Gloria was simply terrible.
And George Bond said he didn’t know what
they all meant since Carl had taken a col-
ledge english course that came to his ade
when he expressed himself.

Well, I and Gloria went down to Baber’s
to get some Valentines. The way we hap-
pened to go there was because Johnny Ha-
backer works there, and Gloria thought
maybe John could help her pick out a real
sentimentle greeting for Carl Wilkins, but
when we got there why there was such a
crowd of girls around John and Gloria and
I just thought it was not showing the right
attitude to shove in ahead of Mary Pratt,
Venus Faux and Margaret Phipps who were
just acting too silly for words—when they
were picking out Valentines for Milton
Rosenthal and Gene Berg and Clayton Meril-
lat. Well we left and 1 just had a terrible
time getting down the street with Gloria for
she’s awful popular with policemen and truck
drivers even when they're on duty, but I
just told Gloria we’d have to put business
before pleasure and hunt a Valentine for
Carl, because he’d been acting more pequalar
than ever—and had even threatened to go
to Shang High or some other tcrruble place
if Gloria didn't reform.

Well, I and Gloria got tickets for the
tournament so we could go together, as we
knew that a young girl who went to a tourna-
ment by herself in Fort Wayne was likely to
get herself talked about. Well we went and
everybody was there, and I and Gloria sat
down with the rest of the girls so we wouldn’t
get ourselves talked about. But when the
team came out on the floor Gloria got all
excited and stood up and yelled and acted
just dreadful, and just raved about Mutt
and Bob being so godlike and strong and
about Weber and Dornte and all the rest of
the fellows beingso heroic. Well, right in front
of her was Carl Wilkins yelling and jumping
around terrible and 1 just told Gloria that
in trying to be indifferent to her, Carl had
had his mind taken off more than it should
be. Well I tried to set a good example by
absolutely refusing to yell, especially when
I was near Mrs. Clark for I did want it to be
obvious to her that I was one of the girls on
Social Restraint. But the yelling finally got
so bad where I was that 1 had to go over
and sit by Mrs. Clark to add dignity.

What Electricity Has Done
for Mothers
THIRTY YEARS AGO, homes were lighted or,
rather, only half-lighted by oil lamps, lamps that
required daily cleaning and attention. Just one of
the many trying daily tasks that our mothers per-
formed so uncomplainingly.
Then came the electric light, the first of a series of
wonderful developments in the electrical industry. Now,
Mother presses a button and the whole room is flooded
with light—light that comes at the speed of the sun’s
light, 11,160,000 miles per minute.
After the electric light, in quick succession, came the
electric iron, the electric washer, the electric cleaner, and
other household appliances—appliances that banished
drudgery, the monotonous drudgery of house work.
Today, electricity works for Mother, enabling her to
really enjoy living—to do things worth while—to devote
more time to her children; it gives her “more leisure,
wisely used.”

Is the Food You Eat Important?
The thought that we do not live
to eat, but eat to live, when cor-
rectly understood, actually
stresses the importance of the
things we eat although the super-
ficial mind often takes just the
opposite interpretation.
The Kind of Food we eat IS
important, for our health, happi-
ness, and after all. life itself de-
pends upon it. This seems so
entirely obvious—and yet—since
the majority of us are not dieti-
cians. we eat carelessly and
without thought of the true
value of the food we take.
You cannot examine and analize
your food every day. but you
CAN insist on food whose makers
do it for you. The Perfection
Biscuit Company does exactly
that—maintains a complete lab-
oratory and a staff of exports—
thoroughly testing every ingredi-
ent that goes into the wide va-
riety of tempting breads, crack-
ers. cakes and cookies that carry
its name “PERFECTION.”
Demand PERFECTION whenever you want baked foods, and
you'll know that you aie getting the best and biggest money’s
worth in healthful, appetizing, truly nourishing food.

Well the tournament is over and I and
Gloria have been wondering what to give up
for lent. Well, we were coining back to
school down at the crossroads of Clinton and
Lewis streets, when we saw Mr. Hewitt
coming back from lunch too, and we just
told him about our trouble. 1 had just
always told Gloria he was so sympathetic
and kind and was so beau gallant as the
French or other people in the Social Register
say, and he's so broadminded and he sug-
gested that we give up watermelon or grand
opera and baseball, and then we could feel
that we were really sacrificing.
Well by that time we were up to the walk
by Central and we heard sounds and echos
from the little cafes along Calhoun street
we looked around, and who was there but
Carl Wilkins, with an aweful scowl on his
face and in the meanest voice he looked at
Gloria and said that he wished he could tell
the bare-faced facts about beauties. Gloria
was so humiliated, but Mr. Hewitt was so
gallant and brave and he spoke up and said
Never mind Doc, I drink 2 cups of coffee
every night and sleep like a log.

Well school's almost over and the Junior
Prom and Senior Play are here; and Gloria
and I were walking down town and Gloria
said she didn’t know that she'd have a date
for the dance, because most men were pe-
culiar and anyway to have a date with a
man at the prom was more or less of a handi-
cap and I just told Gloria that I didn't have
a date either for the dance but anyway we
didn't need to worry because there'd be
some stags like Wade McCoy, Byron Novit-
sky and it wouldn't cause a girl of our social
prestige to get talked about if she went with-
out a date even though Rosalia Pollak, Har-
riett Hiester and Martha Harris and some of
those other girls would call it a vulgar dis-
play of one's popularity to expect a full
program from stags. But Miss McCloud
said we could get buy, when Carl Wilkins
came up in a sort of a daze, almost a stupor,
and asked would she or would she not go
to the Junior Prom with him and Gloria just
sorta sideswiped him and said “I’ll make a
puzzle with you—will I go?" And Carl said
“You answer this one—Ask me another.”

Well the Junior Prom is over and every-
thing around school seems grand because Carl
Wilkens and Gloria are almost inseperable
again. And I and Gloria are just never to-
gether again. And what does it matter any-
way—a girl in the social register doesn’t
have to run after any other girl or Carl
Wilkens to remain in the social register, and
anyway I'm going out with a lot of the other
prominent people in school, for instance the
other night I and Germaine Comparer and
Mary Liggett and Bill Miller and Dick Heine
went out to a hot dog stand and had a cup of
coffee, but we didn't eat because Dick kept
saying we wouldn’t have time as he had to
get the car back home early, and I just said
how much better it was to be out with boys
like that who didn’t feel that they had to
spend a quarter on a girl when they should
have the car home. Well our caps and gowns
came and I just said it sorta made me have
larngitis to think about leaving school but
we could be noble and fine and always love
Central anyway.

WILLA DICK GERALD DOTY
Gerald Doty, pupil of Emile Bouillet, easily qualified as one of the first
violinists in the National High School Orchestra.
In competition he won the outside position on the fourth desk in a violin
section of one hundred players.
This orchestra of two hundred and sixty-six members played a series of con-
certs in Dallas, Texas, during the week between Feb. 26 and March 3, 1927. Mr.
Doty s connection with the orchestra enabled the Bouillet Violin School, Central
High School and Fort Wayne to be represented in this most worthy national event.

Becktold Covers!

beautiful cover on this annual is a Becktold. Because
it is a Becktold it will prove durable and lasting . . a com-
pliment to the wisdom and farsightedness of the staff in charge.
Becktold never fails to lend- an atmosphere of true quality.
The handsome grain, originality of design, deep embossing and
artistic blending of colors have made this cover preferred. On
these qualities the Becktold has built its reputation for complete
satisfaction.
