I once participated in one has kept
up my interest in the later shows.
Mrs. O. E. Lowery, housewife :
Besides having fun and lots of good
times during Roa d Shows, I derived
a great deal of benefit from them.
They give excellent schoooling for
gaining confidence in yourself, and
becomi ng more poised . Despite the

in my mind about the Road Show is

the element of enjoyment goes that
of education, a nd I believe that the
Road Show should be continued as a

Mrs. Lloyd Beal, former drama,t ics teacher at Central: Road Shows
we re always the most interesting,
important, and competitive events of
the school year. They were a grea t
dea l of pleasure despite the long
hours of work spent in preparing

t hem more than anything else during

remember many incidents which

Emmet Solomon, former lieutenan t colonel at Central : The contacts
made durin g rehearsals, and the
friendships which ripen out of these
contacts seem to me the most importa nt pa rt of the Road Show. Several
of my best friends are people I met

perfor mance is dimmed, the idea beh in d it is s till fresh.
Freshman, Parents

Guests at a tea in the gym at 3
o'clock, Tuesday, were the 9A
freshmen , th eir mothers, and their

The idea for a tea for freshmen
a nd their mothers was originated by
Mrs. Irene Jensen several years ago.
Over 200 guests were served by the

February 28 Deadline
If 1,000 O-Books are not sold and
the money in by F e bruar y 28, Central High school will have no annual.
This was the statement ma de by Mrs.
Anne Savidge, O-Book a d viser , a nd
confirmed by PrinCipal Fred Hill and
senior class sponsors. Up to this date,
less than 150 O-Books have been
sold , and the outlook is not bright.
There is a bsolutely no possibility
of the O-Book drives being held over
after the twenty-eighth if less than
1,000 books a r e sold. Although in
past years the same threat has been
put before Central students and th en
the da te extended, there is no chance
of a n extension this year.
The drive has lagged considerably
at Central , while at Benson, where
the campaign is finished: editing has
already begun. The goal at Benson
was reached despite the fact that
their drive began afte r Centra l's.
This is a challen ge to Central students.
The O-Book has the whole-hearted
support of the entire senior class,
and its s uccess of fa ilure lies in the
hands of the underclassmen . For 42
yea rs Central has had an annual, and
the senior book has become a part
of the tradition of the school, but
sentimenta lity will not influence the
decision of the school officials in extending the final date for the 1,000
books to be sold.
The O-Book is a school annual,
representing every class in the
school, and not just a senior book.
P ictures and write-u ps of every class.
including the freshman , are featured
in the O-Book. Every activity, from
chess to football , is pictured , and few
are the students who do not have
their pictures in the book at least
once.
The price, 75 cents with a student
association ticket, is much more reaiSonable than the casual !Ob.server
realizes. Engravin g, printing, cost
of photography, a long with other
miscellaneous expenditures must be
included in the 75 cent cost. The
price of the annual without an S.A.
ticket, $1.25, is only 25 cents more
than the cost of 'the printing of one
book alone.
Fifty-three salesmen, under the
direction of Circulation Manager Irving Malashock and his assistant,
David Carson, will continue to canvass homerooms in an effort to r each
the 1,000 goal. A thermometer , indicating the progress being made in
the O-Book sales, was placed in the
east hall W ednesday and will stay,
there until the drive ends on the

Ultimatum!
Rule one for editorial writers-don't preach. Ru1e
two for editorial writers-avoid such trite subjects
as school spirit. But every rule is made to be broken, and the exception proves the rule. If there
were ever a time that Central needed an editorial
on school spirit, it is now.
Mter having an O-Book every year for over
40 years, it would be a black mark for the senior
class of 1939 if, through lack of cooperation, the
O-Book failed. Many seniors for four years have
been entering into activities around school, not
only for the benefits they received, but also for
the picture that each activity group has in, the
O-Book at the end of the year. Yes, for four years
students have been looking forward to their senior
year and the O-Book for their class.
Lack of progress in the campaign so far is not
entirely the fault of the underclassmen. It is due,
in large part, to the seniors' lack of concern and
unwillingness to cooperate. The O-Book is the
largest project that the graduating class has to
undertake. You might ask, if the seniors don't
seem to want an O-Book very badly, why bother
even to try to stir up interest . . Honestly, seniors,
do you want the year you graduate pointed out as
the year that an O-Book campaign failed? And
underclassmen, do you think that it will be easy
to put out an O-Book in years following this one if
such a project fails this year?
Considering the value of the O-Book when it is
published, 75 cents isn't much money. It is up to
you,. the entire student body. February 28 is the
deadline.

in Lin Yutang's book. They meet delightfully and on a
friendly basis , as if they were two old fri ends longparted who, together in the wisdom of their old age,
discuss the ways of life. It is a quaint conversation, and
the reader listens with his eyes as he scan s page after
page.
The book consists of a series of closely-related essays
whose purpose it Is tc present a formula for the enjoyment of life. The a uthor presents this formula by mirroring the thoughts of Chinese scholars who lived in past
ages. The book is a1l"excellent mirror, but, at times, the

You will finish this book regretting the fact that it
is not longer , and realizing that you will never again
have the pleasure of reading it for the first time. You
will probably disagTee violently with the philosophy
presented, but you will know that, if the book failed in
giving you a prescription for the enjoyment of life, it

Central ,Stars
* Harold Bremers
We proudly present Harold Bremers : make-up editor of
the Register; president of the Press club; treasurer of
senior homeroom; a member of the Junior Red Cross,
Roller Skating club, Road Show program committee, Student Centrol, and Junior Honor society; and sergeant
in the R.O.T.C.
Harold wants to be a writer but will probably study
law. Although he'd like to attend Harvard, he thinks
he'll go to Nebraska (you figure it out for yourself).
His suppressed desire is to ride on a toboggan behind a
car going 80 miles an hour-guess he doesn't need to
tell us he likes outdoor sports . . But it seems that tobogganing and skiing don't fulfil our star's yen for exercise
because he confesses that he walks in his sleep-"mmm,
would you like to take a walk?"
He thinks Bette Davis and Frederic March are swell
actors, and he would like. to see them co-starred sometime. In musical preferences, Tommy Dorsey is the orchestra leader, and "After Looking at You ," the song. But
here's the one thing that makes Harold different from
all the other stars: he doesn 't use Ipana, Pepsodent,
Colgate, or Dr. Lyons powder for his teeth. No, sirree;
he claims there's nothing like good old kitchen salt to
make the teeth sparkle.
Harold said he didn't have any particular person in
mind when he listed the qualities he likes best in a girl:
sweetness, vitality, and a sense of humor. But we rather suspect that if she were petite, blue-eyed, and brownhaired, he wouldn't mind.
In case you wouldn't recognize him, he is- blond and
five feet eleven inches tall, weighs 145 pounds, has an
infectious smile, and possesses an enviable disposition ..
In other words, Harold h as everything that composes
the ideal Central star.

Sinister Teacher Shoots
Innocent Squealer
Heh-heh-heh: heh! The sinister J. J.
Guenther is at it again. Friday of last
week h e tried to entwine po' little
Jack Chambers in the meshes of his
web . .Jack was tottering near the
brink of disaster, for he was almost
r eady to say the wrong thing and be"
caught. It was a tense moment.
Everyone in the class saw the impending disaster. All tried to inform·
Jack of the wrong path he was taking by attempting to clear their
throats and by n;taking other similar
signals, but he didn't catch on. The
draculean Mr. Guenther nodded his
head negatively at those who tried
to · warn the innocent victim-te-be.
Suddenly, Al Busch could stand
the strain no more and managed to
mutter an audible warning. Mr.
Guenther, in a rage, wheeled arolNtd
on his stool and reached into his cabinet. There was a moment of dreadful apprehension as the class waited
to see if Mr. Guenther wouI.d cry,
throw a stink bomb, or do something
to the unfortunate Busch. With a
quick motion Mr. Guenther turned
back toward the class, and with a '
gun he shot AI. Al did not suffer
serious in)uries, however, as the gun
with which he was shot was a mere
cork popgun.
Reflections
Sometimes you'll be the guest, but
perhaps you'll play hostess, too. How
can you make your parties stand out
from the whole datebook as more
fun than any other?
First of all, are you going to try to
be the most popular hostess in your
crowd or the most popular girl at
your own party? Are you out to have
a marvelous time yourself or to see
that your guests do? Quite frankly,
you can't do both.
The hostess who thinks first about
her own enjoym nt is bound to overlook the little tactful acts that put
the shy guest at ease. Then there is
the overly-anxious hostess, who worries about what to say and do at the
right moment to keep her party from
going flat on her hands. Both are
bad.
A clever hostess tries to draw together those guests who have the
most in common, but it's a mistake
to let a party break up into little
groups. You can avoid this by planning beforehand and by seeing that
one game succeeds another without
too long an intermission . It's a good
plan to have some amusing, foolish
game to start your party off while
your friends are arriving. As soon as
a few of them come, start the fun,
and you'll keep that gay, unconstrained atmosphere all evening.
If you value a reputation for staging grand parties, never, never be
more formally dressed than you expect your guests to be.
May your next party b e the gayest and most successful yet! It will
be, too, if you remember that you are
the stage manager, not the prima
donna! Be on your toes every minute, trying to see that the party
swings along. When th e party is
over, and you've kicked off your slippers, you'll find that you've had a
good time yourself.
Nothing Sacred Now/'
Fingerprints Duplicated
'l'he scientists have been flying high,
wide, and handsome for a long time
now. They have taken away one
cherished idea after another until
we were finally forced to believe that
all men were almost identical. We let
them do this, for we had one distinguishng mark which they coudn 't
take away: our fingerprints. But
they finally have. For, according to
the Scientific American, once in 1,606,937,974,174,171,729,761,809,705,564,167,968,221,676,069 .,6 04,401,795,301,376, times, our own, individual, original fingerprints will
be duplicated. Think of that! Even
our fingerprints a r en't sacred anymore.

By Jean Short
From birth children are imbued
with a sense of beauty and an understanding of art, but careless parents
and heedless teachers otten kill that
certain something which marks each
individual. Although she does not
claim to be an educator, Mme. Suzanne Silvercruys, noted sculptress
and lecturer, who was in Omaha
Monday to speak before the Ad-Sell
league, feels that some very definite
steps should be taken in the schools
to correct the lack of artistic understanding in many of the teachers.
"Beauty is not all paintings,
statues, a.nd designs," she said. "It is
rather, a feeling within one's self.
The very art of liying is the most
beautiful thing in the world. Art is
not an extraordinary thing. It's
something that can be brought down
to an everyday level and be enjoyed
by everyone."
While on the subject of education
Mme. Silvercruys plainly indicated
that she is on the side of the modern
instructors. The methods used in the
classrooms today do not include one
of the greatest mediums of teaching
in the world, the motion picture. It
has been proved, she further stated,
that the pupil grasps and remembers
much more easily things which. he
can picture before him, wl\ich are
shown in logical development, rather
than imagined from paragraphs in
s uper-dry textbooks.
However, sculpturing is her real
love. As she traveled from place to
place on her lecture tours, Mme. Silverc ruys found it was extremely dif-
jeune fille
Exactly in step with the current
craze for important little accessories
to add gayety to these dull ' tweenseason-days is Jeanne Burke's white
enamel ladybug worn at the neck of
her sweaters. Charlotte Smith h as a
really good looking white necklace,
set with turquoise . . . the extraordinary part of it is that it's made
Indian-style, hanging almost to her
waist. Other cunning dodads are Mildred Nielsen's two tiny yarn dolls
embroidered with blue and white,
which she wears at the neck of her
rust dress.
Going to a party or·to class, you'll
attract admiring glances in a soft
pink suede jacket with short puffed
sleeves like Dotty Thomas' or a red
wh ite and blue tweed ' jacket similar
to that of Betty Ann Wilkerson .
You'd have to go a long way to
beat Helyne Wohlner's powder blue
herringbone tweed s\lit with an unusual pleated skirt set off by silver
buttons and a pink angora sweater.
When you get right down to it, Dorothy Landstrom looks very charming
in her light blue shirt waist dress
with white collar and cuffs and pearl
studs. The n ew sophomore girls' club
bas scored bulls' eyes again with
their bright striped blouses featuring the new full sleeves.
Very extra special is Billy Pommerenk's fitted brown sport coat . . .
not too sporty to be worn for more
dressy occasions. Mary Ellen Davis

People are always wondering what
will become of this world with the
younger generation carrying on as it
does. Since the beginning of time it
has been natural fQr youth to have its
fling, and no harm is done. As <8. matt er of fact, maybe that is what this
world needs. ~s proof of this statem ent the Register staffs of 1922 and
1923 serve as good examples .
In the fall of '22 the school paper
came out in a new form under the
name of the Weekly Register with as
prominent a staff as has ever been
gather ed together in the history of
the Central High Register. More
members of this staff have been successful in their chosen careers than
a ny other staff as a whole.
Victor Hackler, the editor-in-chief
has today become the head of th~

laboratories;
dem~>Ds­
trated the magic of the telephone at
an all-school assembly in the auditorium last Thursday. He spoke on
the history of the telephone, outlining its development from the first
conversation between Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant to the
present-day 'round-the-world calls.
Mr. Page puzzled the audience by
the loudness of his voice ~ when he
was not near the "mike." He finally
showed them his "under-the-tie"
microphone with a wire running
down the leg of his trousers and over
to the amplifier controlled by his assistant, C. H. Will .
He demonstrated the e.lectric
stethescope, another development resulting from the invention of the
telephone, on Harvey Burstein, to
the amusement of the entire audience. With this instrument, Harvey's
heart-beats sounded like tom-tom
drums; when Virginia Gil.more, at
the request of Mr. Page, held Harvey's hand, the beats increased rapidly.
Mr. Page also explained a device
known as the "inverter," used to
fool ea~es droppers on transcontinental calls. It inverts a conversation,
changing hi gh tones to low tones,
a nd vice versa. When he spoke into
it, his words came out backwards.
For the first time ' listeners heard
"Tiger Rag" played upside-down.
In addition to the demonstrations,
Mr. Page explained how the first
telephones were connected by using
separate wires . to - each phone. He
also told of the development of the
switchboards, from a single board
that could handle only nine phones
to the intricate system we have today.
He stressed . the fact that a small
telephone cable contains as many as
35,000 separate wires.
Commercial Instructors
Begin New Classes
New features of education have been
.introduced into Central by Miss Gertrude Knie and Miss Marguerette
Burke, commercial instructors. This
semester for the first time, classes in
orientation and vocational training
have been formed.
The classes, taught by Miss Knie
and Miss Burke, are open to all
freshmen this term, but in the future only incoming freshmen will be
allowed to take the subject. The purpose of the course is to adjust new
students to life at Central. It teaches
them about activities, important people, school programs;
acquaints
them with the building; and generally helps to make them feel more at
home here.
"I feel sure," said Miss Knie,
"that some day this class wili be a
r eq uired subject for all freshmen."

Not so long ago, when the Annex was
first added on to this great institution, there appeared in the O-Book
of that year a picture of the new addition with the w ords AUDITORIUM,
GYMNASIUM, NATATORIUM inscribed beautifully at the bottom. Us
and our two-bit vocabulary immediately sou ght the refuge of a dictionary to 'determine the meaning of
that super-word "natatorium." Finding it t o be the equivalent of a swimming pool, we began to wonder no end.
Had the contractor misread the plans
and forgotten the little detail, or had
he decided that riflery was a better
sport than swimming? Suddenly it
dawned on our potent brain that
there were probably three r easons for
neglecting the dip: 1 ) money; 2 )
money; 3) money. Also there came
to us a realization that a Centralite,
or Centralites, might some day drown
because of this slight saving to the
pudget.
However, we suppose there should
be some consolation in the fact that
we don 't have to use the swimming
pool site for a study hall as th ey do
at South, that we don't have to ' go
blind in any more study halls as
poorly lighted as 445 and 425 , a nd
that Central has used the space to
develop an excellent rifle team.
Nevertheless, we cannot help hoping
that someday Ce ntral stude nts will
be able to have swimmin g added to
the list of cou rses.

Triple Tie Features
Race for Honors
In Bowling League
Activity in the bowling league this
week was led by the Central Champs,
who rolled a three-game series of
1,624 in winning from the Bea rcats.
The Skippers won three from t h e
Lasses by default, an d the SHent
Squad copped two out of three from
the Tramps. At the end of the second
week , these three t eams are tied
for first place with five wins a nd one
loss.
Howard Westering's three-game
total of 469 topped the individaul
performances for t he week. W estering's 194 was the h ighest single
game rolled.
H eadlining this week's contests
is the battle between the Silent
Squad and the Skippers. The teams
are tied fo r first place and are both
out . for blood .
About two weeks ago a catastrophic event occurred in the
world· of sport. The coaching· staff of Nebraska university
played in a basketball game against a team of sports writers,
and, unbelievable as it may seem, the coaching staff won.
The contest took place during the intermission between
halves at one of Nebraska's first team games.
.In order to live down the humiliation cast upon the sports ,
writing profession by a few of the profession'S less able representatives, the Register's sports staf[lias challenged Central's coaching staff to a five minute game at the half of the
Be~on game next Tuesday after school. Thus will it be
proved that those who write about the various sports know
more about them than those who supervise thein. We have
spoken. Selah!
