CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. “Twelfth Night."” the dates for which are announced as March and 17, 23, 24 and is bringing into action all the forces of Old Central.” It is the one big co- operative effort of the year. For ity success the student body. the faculty and the alumni have "united. The English department furnishes the meneral director and genius of the play, Miss Sibyl Baker, and a part of the coaching force. 'Through the ramatic Association the cast is se- lected from among the students. This department also directs the pub- licity work. From the art depart- nent come the posters and the de- signs for the scenery and the cos- tumes, all of which are designed and executed by the students under the direction of Miss Jessle Baker, Mr. Rathburn and Mrs. Kirk and Miss Katherine Summy. The wood shops, in charge of Joseph Wilson, carry the heavy work of building the scenery and the business department, throug! Mr. Harned, manages the sale of tick- ets and the finances in general. The domestic art department does the sewing on the costumes; the domes- tic science folks make the vast quan- titles of candy, which it disposes of along with ice cream during the in- termissions of the show. No mean proportion of the proceeds is obtained from this means. Members of the faculty from all other departments assist along some line of work, us- ing their avocational ability for the %00d of the school. Thus, one finds a history teacher enjoying the costum- ing of the cast, a Latin teacher serv- ing ice cream and a business teacher coaching, This year the Alumni As- soclation proposes to take over the responsibility for the fifth perform- ance, Tuesday, March 27 M sent Mr. Jou s, poem author, Doer the his he spring play Figures compiled at the end of the | play last vear showed that a great majority of both students and teach- ers contributed in some way toward the success of the enterprise.

The leading roles {in the production, those of Katherine and Petruchio, are portrayed by Mar- garet Ryan-and Clarence arridge.

Much interest was manifested in the choice of offi- cers, as it was the final election. The results were as follows: Thomas Con- {nor, president; Doris Schutz, vice president; Virginia Staub, secretary: Gregory Lanigan, treasurer. It is the largest four-year class in the his- tory of Business. The midyear elections for the stu- dents’ council of Business High were recently held.

The club now has a membership of about ten. While it is only a new organization, it expects to contribute much of in- terest to the school life. It will, no doubt, entertain an assembly in the future. The Techite staff has definitely decided to put out the year book. The money obtained through subscriptions. is not up to expectations. About $300 ‘has been turned in, where at least $1,200 was expected. This means that many plans for elaborating the book, which had been drawn up, will have to be dropped.

The girls were most inter- ested and sang as they never sang before in their effort to obtain a creditable record of some of their songs. They enjoyed immensely hearing_their own voices, and hope in the future for even better results than their initiative. Miss V. L. Wil- liams, the instructor in music, is un- tiring in her efforts to increase their repertoire, and the girls are hearty in their response. Wednesday afternoon the school held a birthday party commemorat- ing the anniversaries of the noted men of the month, especially Wash- ington, Douglass, Lincoln and Dun- bar. The faculty and students ap- preciated the presence of the grand- sons of Frederick Douglass. Haley Douglass spoke to the students of some phases of life of particular in- terest to them, while Joseph Doug- lass, accompanied by his wife, ren- dered several violin selections in his own inimitable style. The minuet, taught the students by Miss M. Jor- dan, instructor of physical training, was danced by a group of girls dress- ed in the coloniel costumes.

The universal opin- ion was that if the initial appear- ance of the club displayyed so much talent, great hopes are to be enter- tained for future development. The school is deeply indebted to Mrs. Clark for her interest and assistance. At the food exhibit held at the Lin- coln Colonnadde the school exhibited work representative of the several departments. The dressmaking classes exhibited two class problems, sho ing conclusively the skill of the stu- One dress, a blue canton graceful and simple, was artistically beaded in cut-steel beads, and the other, a green pongee, was beauti- fully 'embroidedred in white. These costumes were the center of much attention. Both of these gowns have been sold. The millinery department made the hats to complete the cos- tumes. These were dlisposed of and a number of orders received for future delivery. The children's clothes were very pleasing to the mothers, and a Inumber of them expressed their de- sire to send in orders for the little ones. The art department was rep- resented by lampshades, pillows and the latest shapes and styles, beaded work and wax novelties. Special at- tention was given a most shade of black and gold georgette. Not a few housekeepers wanted to buy the canned goods exhibited by the domes sclence department Many present were not aware of the part-time classes held at the school and expressed their desire to avail themselves of the privilege.

Miss Lillian Burke headed the committee of arrangements Armstrong was forced to extend herself to defeat the fast quintet from Morgan College during the week. The visitors early took the lead with a couple of whirlwind goals which put the local boys off their feet. In the end the superior condition and team work brought Armstrong out on the long end of the score of 30 to 19, The examination for promotion to the grade of second lleutenant re- suited in the elevation of First Sergt Robert Carter to that rank. Carter has maintained a high scholastic grade during his membership of the battalion and with his military effi- clency outdistanced his competitors in a close race. Senior Second Lieut. Ralph Vaughn was advanced to the rank of first lieutenant, vice Hale, resigned. According to preliminary estimates of furnishing the annex to the school released by Capt. A. C.

All departments of the Miner Nor- mal School, realizing the impostant place of physical education, are en- gaged in a better health campaign, The junior hygiene classes are at- tacking the problem from the theo- retical and scientific standpoint. Each student is making direct application of the principles learned by system- atically building up his own physical equipment, an essential process in teacher preparation. They are also planning a series of lessons on the care of the body, health habits, etc., to be presented in the grades. In order to obtain better results in carrying out a broader health pro- gram in the practice chools, the ele. ment of competition has been intro- duced. Thus far the puplls of the fourth grade have won the stars which are being awarded the school consuming the largest quantity of milk during the week. Miss Anita J. Turner, assistant director of physical training, pioneer in this movement for health Improvement, contributes free milk tickets to those children who are unable to purchase them.
