Second Act Sm'prise The show will start with a short

This will be followed by ~ome living pictures which is some­th ing totally different from anything ever seen at Central High. A band of minstrels, who will be there to l!;ive you your money's worth in laughter, will precede the "Golden Doom," 8. one-act side-splitting com­edy by Lord Dunsany. And then, be­cause no program would be complete without the Gym Club dancers ana their graceful mincing steps, an act of pantomine dan cing will follow.

C. O. C. Give Dram a The next number is a musical trio

consisting of three musical girls play­ing the violin , piano, and cello. Their nu mber is certain to charm the aud­ience. Following this is the "Cap­tain of the Gate," the d rama act of the Road Show. Its atmosphere, wh ich is decidedly tragic, is entirely different from that of the rest of the program.

The well-known boys who "tumble, bu t do not fall," members of the casts of last year's Road Show, and the "Bohemian Girl" opera, are again going to make the audience sit up and take notice when they open up their entirely new bag of tricks.

Chorus and Orchestra The last act, which will cap the

clin'lax of the 1924 C. O. C. Road Show consists of an orchestra and chorus. The Ziegfield Follies' beau­ties would look pale and wan if com­pared to Central High's Road Show Chorus. The dancing and singing in this act will be of the very best type.

Tickets for Friday The tickets for the evenin g per­

fOrInances were' all gone by the fou rth day of the ticket selling cam­paign . However, there are many good seats left for Friday matinee. The best plan would be to get your tickets right away.

Story Well Written

- Lovely As Possible," Is Suggestion

"I confess I'm skeptical abou t such a thing as a lazy a dolescent child," remarked Dr. Caroline Hedger, men­tal adviser of t he Elizabeth McCor­mick Foundation, Chicago, in her talk before a crowd of women at the Technical High a uditoriu m, March 6. "Growth is very fatiguing and a child' that has reached this stage of expan­sion needs rest."

Small Ones W ork Dr. Hedger said that it was the

habit of people to pile responsibilities on large children just because they are large, and save the smaller ones. "Little children are much more able to bear up under loads than are fast growing children ."

Moth ers Sh ould Be Attra ctive "Mothers should feel it their duty

to make themselves so attractive that their children would want them along. "Why," she gestured, "if I had a daughter, I wouldn't dress like this," and she pointed to her shirt waist and suit, and tight knot of hair. "I would get a marcel and wear a feather boa. I'd make myself so lovely they'd want me. "

the auspices of the Omaha School Forum, and gave lectures last week in the public schools for the benefit of mothers. She has done child wel­fare work in Chicago for years.

LIBRARY RECEIVES SIX NEW MAGAZINES

Deal With Manual Training, Art Pictures, Nature,

and Radio

Six new magazines have appeared in the library this semester. "The In­dustrial Arts;' magazine d eals with manual training. "The International Studio," another art magazine, c~n­tains a very varied assortment of p1C­tures, some beautiful and some queer. "Nature" is just what its name im­plies. It handles every phase of na­ture, stories of pets, tornadoes, plants, natural science, etc. "Q. S. T." and "Tbe Radio News" are much alike, both giving radio news. The former is an amateur radio magazine only, and the latter gives advice"an~ interesting radio happenings. SCI­ence" deals with scientific events, stories, happenings, and acts.

First Prize StOL'y "SP EAKY" NOW HAS CITY CONTEST PRIZE FRIENDS AND REST WON BY CENTRALITE "THE TWIN-SIX?"-O!

Olav Smedal of the Central High News, Central High School, Minne­apolis, won the first prize, which is a year 's paid-up subscription to The The door of 129 stood open; invit-

ing sounds came from within; the

dog was lonely and friendless-anu

so he went in. That is how "Speaky" came to be

the Speakers' Bureau mascot. Hymen Shrier, an influential member of this talkative organization, was appointed Speaky's guardian and sees to it that the dog attends the meetings of the bureau, which takes place during home room. What Speaky does the rest of the d.ay, where he lives, who owns him, are still profound secrets, for the dog will impart no informa­tion as to his past.

Speaky is a pretty dog, brown with golden and white patches. His eare are long and silky, and his eyes look intelligent and pathetic. His exact ancestry is not known and h~ seems to lack a pedigree, but his enthusias­tic owners decla~e that he is a thor-oughbred "Speaker."

L este r Lapidus, a peppy Central-

ite, won the ' $15 first prize in the

;'Know Omaha" . contest which was

put on by the Omaha Chamber of

Commerce. Lester is a loyal booster,

according to his friends, and an apt

student, according to his teachers.

"It was sure one bi,g surprise to

me," he remarked, "but I put so

much work on it that I'm glad I got

some reward. I'm glad I got it for

another reason, too-it means an

honor to Central.

Lester is a member of the Speak'­

ers' Bureau and of the Mathematics

Club. He is well known in Central

for his engineering ability.

The great secret of his having won

first prize was the big surprise of the

mass meeting.

Mysterious things are going on under the unsuspecting noses of the guileless students; witness the fol­lowing invitation sent to one of the faculty:

"Please allow C. M. K. to come to the Twin-Six Cafeteria, 3642 Lafa­yette Ave., between the hours of twelve and two on March 22. A. E. A., B. M. B., I. M. C., B . I. D., M. E. E., B. B. N., C. L . P., B. E. S., E. J. S., F. E. S., J. M. T., L. M. W. "

The Twin-Six dare not r eveal their awful identity. Is there not some­thing familiar about the addr ess? And the hours-Ob, of course, pro­t est the faculty, it means in the after-noon . W -e-l-l!

Now if the students had been 1n­vited to chaperone their teachers, all would have been well. Still, the cafe­teria may mean a secret society to shorten aSSignments or do away with t ests.

GET INTO AN ACTIVITY

Lately we filled out our activity cards, giving the number of points we should receive for OUI' various work outside of the regu­lar school routine. Probably only four or five students in our classes had any use for a card. Perhaps you didn't yourself. If you are a senior, in all likelihood you received points, and if not, there is no hope.

But if you are a member of one of the other three classes, by all means get into some activity at once. There are enough organizations and activities in high school for everyone to ·par­ticipate. Of course, it means work, and distinction, too, and a little responsibility, but what is it that is of consequence that we do not work for? Think it over. Won't you hate to see your name in the O-Book next year or the next standing alone and showing that you are absolutely not interested in any outside work?

FOSSIL-BEDS IN THE MODERN DAY

The world is lately possessed with the craze for all that is ancient. It seems quite the style, now-a-days, to dig up ' an ante­deluvian elephant's tooth or shark's fin in one's backyard. Ex­tremely valuable duck eggs, some 40,000,000 years old, have been unearthed in the United States. A monster elephant fossil was brought to light the other day in one of our neighboring states.

And still the searching goes on. Fossils, fossils, home-grown 01' otherwise, is the cry. American stock seems to have the pref­erence over the EUl'opean selection.

After all, what are a few age-old remains in a nation's his­tory? There is enough material and data on hand now to satisfy any student of the past ages. Dinosaur bones and petrified ferns can't unravel a nation's difficulties. The crises of our own coun­try are enough to keep every person's head busy solving.

When a prehistoric fossil can solve some world problem, then let fossil-hunting be praised.

DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION

It is a far Cl'y from the days of log school houses and simple A-B-C's to the IUXUI'ious school buildings and splendid curricula of today. American education has had a picturesque and fascin­ating history. Its development from earliest times to the present is interesting t o note.

Education was once considered an evil, later an unnecessary "frill." States and towns discouraged or failed to support any at­t empt of that sort. Even when learning did gain a foothold, it was a continual struggle for existence. Free schooling subsisted on charity. Such a fine college as Harvard once owed its existence to lotteries and donations. Ambitious parents had to pay and board a pedagogue to teach their children.

With a rapidly increasing popUlation and ever-broadening outlook, America awoke to the necessity of education~ Schools and colleges were authorized, and sprang up quickly. Compulsory schooling is now required of all children under sixteen years of age. A finished education is now within the reach of any am­bitious person.

Perhaps America owes the proud position she holds in the world today to her great educational system. Our foreign neigh­bors have 'as yet to advance their nations by free education.

HAVE YOU GRIT?

Have you ambition plus a little grit? Do you go after every­thing you are desirous of obtaining, or do you expect it to come to you? If you are too modest to assert yourself some other per­son with a little outspokenness is going to beat you in the race. The great things of the world don't come to him who waits, but to him who has a little action.

PURPLE BASEBALL TEAM WILL HAVE

SIX LETTER MEN Call to Be Issued As Soon

As Weather Is. Right­Probably Next Week

STRENGTH IN RESERVE

With the basketball season over. tbe attention of athletes is focused on the opening of the baseball season. According to Coach Hill, the baseball call' will be issued as soon as the weather permits.

Good prospects for a championship baseball team tbis year appear, since six letter men will again don the Pur­ple and White diamond uniform. Al­though the services of such men as Reynolds, Hughes and Stribling will be missed, yet it is expected that last year's reserves will more than fill the gap.

Glade will lead the list of a good pitching staff. His remarkable work on the diamond last year foreshadows his future for this season. Lawson, also a letter man, will bid for the catching position. Howell will be a clfoice for first base, although he is very effici ent as a pitcher,.' which po­sition be is I,expected to fill as a re­serve. DeLong, Morris, Tolander and Jorgenson are the r emaining veterans of last year who will occupy the field

positions. "Zip" Hill has a job on his hands

however, when he begins to select men from the ranks of the reserves. He will have a large range of mate­rial. Reserves of last year who will work for berths on the first team are Jameson, Oliver, Burkehart, V. Reyn­olds, Chaiken, Bleecher, Mailand and Gerelick. Many new faces are ex­pected to be seen on the baseball dia-

I

mond. The team will play a regular city

league schedule and will probably have a few outside games. The cham­pionship game will be played for the inter-city title between the teams of Council Bluffs and Omaha. The Fac­ulty vs. regular team will be the fea­ture gaI;lle of the.season.

Defeat Lincoln The last obstacle in the way of

the Purple and White's participation in the finals of the tournament was overcome in the game of the semi­finals last Friday night on the Coliseum floor when the "Zip" crew defeated the Red and Black of Lincoln by a 16 to 10 score which was a see-saw affair until the final minutes.
