SENOR REYNA NOT
TO RETURN IN FALL
Senor R eyna, Spanish teacher in
Central, will not return next year.
H e intends to go to Columbia University, New York, where he will work
on his masters . However, he hopes
to return to Central some time in the
future.
Bursts of laughter and prolonged
applause marked the keen appreciation of the audiences which witnessed
"The Man From Home," given QY the
senior class of 1924 under the direction of Miss Lena May Williams. It
is indeed fortunate for those who
were unable to attend the Friday or
Saturday performanqes that an extra
presentation will be given tomorrow
night in the high school auditorium.
Individuals Show Up Well
Each member of the cast shared
honors in making the playa success.
The dancers, . musicians, waiters, the
beautifully gowned young w9Jlle)l
with their handsome escorts, who
made the prologue so lovely, as well
as the individual leads, all helped to
make the play one which will be long
remembered.
Russell Suhr, as Daniel Voorhees
Pike, was the typical Indiana lawyer.
His Clever,' witty speeches, which
were always delivered with the most
sober face, and his keen understand'ing of his part, sho~ed Russell's ability to a ct. Dorothy Rutherford, as
Ethel Granger-Simpson, the American he iress, y armed her audience
every moment that she was on the
stage. H er winning ways made
everyone love her from the very
first, despite the fact that she did not
seem to lik e the favorite, Mr. Pike.
'Other Leads Are Prominent
McGrew Harris was a most impressive Grand Duke Vasili Vasilivitch.
One felt from the moment he stepped
on stage that he was a man of real
nobility. Vinton Lawson again displayed his ability as an actor in his
portrayal of the scheming Earl of
Hawcastle.

"You Never Know" is a story
of a detective, Earl Williams,
who is tryi ng to stop the smuggling of arms Into Central
America. He becomes a chauffeur for a wealthy gentleman
who is not only connected with
this smuggling affair, but has a
beautiful daughter.
"You Never Know" will
probably be the last movie this
year, so everyone should attend.

BIG SISTER MASS
MEETING MONDAY
Freshmen g irls are assured of being cared for when they enter Central
n ext fall. At the Big Sister mass
m ee ting to be held next Monday
morning in the auditorium before
school, the names of all fr eshmen
girls will be given out to prospective
Big Sisters. All girls of the Bophomore, junior or senior classes,
wb ether they are members of the
Student Club or not, are invited to
attend. The program will consist of
music, a su rprise stunt, speeches, and
a talk by Miss Towne.
Are you popular, pretty, 01' stunning? Are you an especially good
dance r or du you excel in athletics?'
Then, Underclassmen, you have a
chance to be distinguished as such
when, as wise seniors, you meet to
decid-e the weighty qu estions which
this year's graduating class has been
debating for the past week. After
a week of excited conjecture and
whispered opinions, the seniors have
at last chosen their representatives
in various lines of recognition.
The much-desired goal of the best
all-round girl and boy was attained
by Frances Johnston and Vinton Lawson. These two students are wellknown in nearly every line of activity, and are espeCially well chosen
for this honor. Frances was also
chosen as the most obliging and the
best-natured girl in the class, which
shows her popularity. "Vint" came
to the front again in being selectea
for the best athlete and the possessor
of the worst line. Dale Lloyd, Central's city commissioner, was elected
the best-natured boy in the class .
Many Receive Two Honors
Melba Burke may claim the distinction of being the most popular girl,
while "Nick" Amos won that honor
for the boys. Pauline Overton walked
away with the prize for the prettiest
and the most stunning girl. The
Adonis of the senior class proved to
be Edmnnd Benson . Those who have
done th e most for Central are Gladys
Reynolds and ': Ted" Anderson. The
best stu dents are recognized as Helen
Pancoast and Kenneth .Abbott, both
well known for their long lists of A's.
The cutest girl in th e class is Margar et Davison, th e symbol of cuteness itse lf. Th e peppiest girl and the
worst cupt-up are "Sunny" Pearsall
and "Nick" Amos, who certainly deserve the honor. Those who are the
most graceful on the dance floor are
Helen Moore and Albert Ernst.

opportunity they are missing, do 'not attend camp. Every cadet
needs camp; camp wants every cadet.
These ten days of profitable enjoyment create aggressive
minds within trained bodies. At camp, cadets gain self-confidence,
acquire orderliness, learn obedience, attain teamwork, an..d achieve
leadership.
Upperclassmen are familiar with camp routine; they expectantly await the coming of camp. To them, the advantages of
camp require no boosting. The thought of their first camp inspires an unnecessary dread in imaginative or uninformed freshmen. Camp calls to freshmen more vigorously. As the new man
shoulders few responsibilities, the first year ~s the easiest.
Freshmen! each warm breeze is bringing camp closer. Ten
days in the open, railroad fare and baggage transportation included, food and shelter, games and sports, pills and powder (if
nec'essary)-all provided for seven dollars.
Plan to go to camp next month, the cleanest cadet encampment ever held.
STRAWS IN THE WIND The class of '24 has well profited by the seniol's' annual opportunity to appropriately label or libel some forty of their classmates. For their circumspect choices, the seniors deserve praise,
while for the title bestowed on each, the chosen forty merit Consideration.
_
UnerI'ingly as our friends may know us, the results of these
straws pointing in the wind are not infallible. Usually, fifteen
years later, the class cut-up is the most staid of business men, the
most nome-loving of husbands. Moreover, did the supporters of
the worst "flirt" vote after personal experiences with the young
lady ?
Generally, however, the verdict of friends is just. In what
niches would a school-wide canvass place~ each of us? Who would
be chosen crabbiest; who proclaimed most selfish; who labeled
with other unwelcome titles? NQ hon..ors cling to superlatives;
no candidates vie for their p6ssession. But as one Scotch bard
sang:
"0 wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see ourselv's as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us."
Yet each day we are conducting a campaign for our places in
the estimation of other people. The straws will point as we impel
them. Would each of us be satisfied with
, the place allotted us?
THAT TIRED FEELING
As the school year is drawing t owards its close, as each school
activity is approaching its climax, as the imminence of final examinations bade us prepare, then it is that a worn, wan feeling creeps
over all of us.
In contradiction with the cycle of nature, human affairs l'each
harvest period in the spring. The fever pitch of activity, especially to the high school student, comes during the months when
the temperature mounts higher. So, through casual similarities,
although not through casual relationship, after long-continued association, the annual epidemics of weariness have become identified with the spring. People call these epidemics attacks of spring
fever.
Lassit.u~~ is nature's safety valve. When occupying positions
of responslblhty, students too often neglect health, studies home
and fTiends, in order to assure the successful conclusion of their
undertaking. This application is praiseworthy, but unnecessary.
No less in need of a safety valve is the "good fellow" who always
finds time to do another's work, while the activities of the "popular
chap" would stagger a draft horse. Application, willingness, and
popularity would burn up many bra'ins without nature's safety
valve that flagging of energies must follow overwork.
When you're bored with all life's joys;
And you jump at every noise:
If you're yawning all day long;
While everything goes wron~;
Quit; drop it all; take a Test.
Yes, it isn't written from experience.

Say!
Guess how many lunch
checks I got in my hand and I'll give
ya both of them.
A recent p eriodical claims that the
rising . generation of Russia is
crushed. They must have schools
there,too.
One thing in the minds of everybody
is the question of a slogan for Central.
In regard to this questio~ some say "yes"
and some say "No." Howbeit I think
~Uyes." .
,
Those of whom say " no" really have
no reason whatsoever as to why we
shouldn't have. Those in which they
take a standpoint of "yes" are able
enough to advance several reasons.
For the beneficialment of those among
whom is some skepticalness and who
think no advertisement is gotten from it,
the following illustration shows it. There
is many a person who will remember the
words "Eventually, why not now," but
who will never remember the name,
Blomore Saxaphones.
, Another reason containing uninquireable matter i!\ of the school spirit which
IS encouraged and foster-fathered among
the students in general, to say the least.
Seeing all these qualitie~nd standards
up to which a slogan must contain, it
results that the selection of a motto is
of the most delicate and intrinsic matter.
One suggestion is "The School on the
Hil!." However, there are 1000 and
seven hills in this world, seven of which
are in Rome. Not wanting anyone to
think this school was exclusive to Romans
this is thrown into the discord.
Another suggestion was the "School on
the Mo. River." This is not acceptable
because the word. "Mo." This slogan
would be for the purpose of bOOllting
Neb. only if any of the 49 states. Therefore we would not want Mo. connected
with it.
CENTRA~
These .and many others have been imposed only to find some flaw which things
are in noways connected with anything
to Central. Realizing the importance
and responsibility upon which is rested
a slogan, the following suggestion is
offered namely, "The Acropolistic School
House."
The reasons for this are two-folded.
First for actual beauty of stru ction our
building cant be sneezed at. The imposive columns easily remind one of- what
an ancient Greek Struction would of appeared to be in its prime.
' The second r eason for sloganing the
school "The Acropolistic School House"
is the fact that it contains a bunch of
ruins. Those of fellow-sufferers will know
precisely what I mean.
Having chosen a slogan it is the belief
that with which ' Central will easily be
able enough to reach its obiect for chasing
it, namely, t he pinochle of publicity.

E~hel Barrymore Avoids Interview
It required two reporters, one ex-circus
acrobat, and two Union Station red caps
to get an interview from Ethel Barrymore last Friday afternoon. The interview would have been much more
effective had Mis.o Barrymore been willing
to give it. She does not give interviews.
She said so. Moreover she does not like
interviews nor read them. She said that
also.
Miss Barrymore's manager, Mr. William Frank, when questioned at the Fontenelle hotel, stated emphatically that the
actress did not give interviews. However,
as it was known that she was remaining
in her private car at the Union Station"
the scene shifted immediately to that
depot. To gain audience with Miss
Barrymore, aid was soiicited of Mr. J. W.
Adams, superintendent. When it was
found that the star was away and would
have to be waiy!d for, Mr. Adams graciously volunteered a recital of his own
experiences as a former circus acrobat
and song and dance man. His story wi11

.
as their friends will testify.
Miss Barrymore finally walked into
the station. Tall, graceful, and moving
with that beautiful carriage so famous
today, she attracted instant attention.
She was perfectly dressed iru a simple
black satin gown and a black hat, which
emphasized her patrician beauty. Miss
Barrymore is gracious and charming to'
meet, and her lovely, slow voice is a delight t o listen to.
"I am sorry," was her reply to the reporter's questions, "but I make it an infallible rule to avoid all interviews. I
would like to say something interesting
to the students of Central High, but I
dread to make an exception to my rule.
There are so many high schools and so
many high school papers that if I consent
to one interview I would have to consent
to them all. Besides, I have nothing
unusual to say."
When she had gracefully excused herself, Mr. Adams, who was greatly disappointed at Miss Barrymore's failure
to talk at length, promised the reporters
a splendid interview with his favorite
actress when she comes to Omaha.
