In National Orchestra "Central Must Have Facilities to Keep Up Morale"-Tukey;
"Student Assemblies Create School Spirit" -"Mac" Baldrige
"Certainly, a new gymnasium and
auditorium for Central High School! ..
agreed H. A. Tukey, realtor, and H.
l'dlalcolm Baldrige, attorney, when interviewed by The Weekly 'Register
this week.
Mr. Tukey, chairman of a special committee of the Board of Education on the Central High project, said, "In order to keep up the
morale and the high st.andards of
Central, it must have t.he facilities
equal to those of other Omaha
high schools_" According to Mr.
Tukey, the number of students attending Central has fallen oft' considerably in the past few yeal's,
while attendance at other high
schools has grown. 'I.'his he attributes to Central's lack of facilities

" The r eason that this matter hae
not come before us at some previoutl
time is not the fault of the school
board, but the failure of the high
school to demand much n eeded improvements. Central has been "asleep
at the switch," but is now waking up .
"The principal thing," said Mr.
National Group to Play in WashTukey, "is to prove to the memington, Philadelphia, and
bers of the Board of Education

that the majority of people favor
this bill. The alUDUli are a gl'eat

Orchestra Member
Gym Reaction Favorable
Stating that the tlrst report of
the special committee of which he
is the head was primarily to test
public sentiJnent, Mr. H. A. Tukey
told the Board of Education at
their meeting Monday night that
the reaction 0)) the proposed auditorium and' gymnasium at Central
High had been' especially favorable. The board laid the committee's report aside for consideration
at a future date:
meeting of the Board on March 3
wll en the issue will be decided upon,
is th e suggestion of Mr. Tukey, who
believes that this delegation will aid
materially in the success of the bill ,
and that th ere is an inclination on
the part of the Board to give thp.
needed improvements to Central, If
it fe'e ls a ssured of the support of th"!
taxpayers.
H. Malcolm Baldrige, attorney
and favorite of Centralites who
know him as "Mac," said, "It il'
fundamentally unsound to have
one high school in Omaha continually be the victor in athletic contests. This situation kills the spirit of cornpetitionand hurts the entire 'esprit-de-corps of the losing
schools."
H e continued, "I have always felt
that winning athletic teams are a
great force in developing the spirit
of the school, so that the students
strive to do better in all extra-currt-
cular activities and also to get higher
marks. Because of this, I have felt
that Central has not had an even
break for the past few years, and, I
believe the best way to -remedy this
situation would be to give Central
a n ew gymnasium., so that. she would
successfully compete with other high
schools."
"I am afraid that If Central is not
given a new gymnasium. h er spirit
will continue to drop until she will
be left by the wayside ," said _Mt,
Baldrige, who added that during hi s
entire four years of· hIgh school, Ceutralwas supreme ' in a thletiCS, a~d
that Central 'won over the team of
W endell Phillips, Chicago's largest
high school at the time, with a score
of 32 to O. InCidentally, "Mac" was :t
m ember of the football team.
Concerning the need of an audltOt'ium, Mr. Baldrige said, "I
went to Yale. It is one ot the few
universities in the country that require morning chapel, and the
whole student body, gathered together under one roof and in one
room, did more to establish
that wonderful 'Yale spirit' tha.n
anything' I know of. I believe the
same thing could happen at Central."
Mr. Baldrige has addressed Central audiences both at downtown theatres and in the Central auditorJum
where the insufficient seating capaci ty caused lines o:f students to · be
form ed in the aisles and at the back
of the room.

ADVERTISE CENTRALITES, ADVERTISE!!
The follo~ing is taken from th~ daily column, School Athletics, by Ira Jones m the BeeN ews of last Sunday:
.
"The Central High Register recently ;prmted
an article that if Central want~ a gym ~t must
advertise. That is the one thmg that ~t must
do. Central does need a gym, no one WIll deny
that.
"The student body must talk and wor~ for
that gym all the time. There have been bmes
in the past when a gym could have been had
by Central but it was not worked for at the
time. The'n there were other ti~es that the
school worked for a gym, but the .bme w~s not
ripe. Now the time is ripe and It remams ~o
be seen how hard the Central student body WIll
work to get this much-needed gym.
"Go to it, and if this column can help you,
we will do so."
Mr. Jones is right. The time is ripe, and
Centralites must boost for that gym. The many
friends and readers of Mr. Jones, who was formerly physical director of the Omaha schools,
are glad to know that he and the Bee-News are
for us.
.
That the modern girl is too independent fo r her own good is the opinion of William Justin Brown, field representative of Stephens Junior Col ·
lege for Women, who visited Central
Tuesday.
"Though I admire her for her
frankn ess, fineness, and honesty, I
find that h~r independence is bringing about a lack of discretion, espec··
ii;Llly in regard to the much discussed
smoking and petting," stated Mr.
Brown. "These things are accepted in
a too matter-of-fact way, and sometimes indulged in excessively. But I
suppose all these are just manifestations of a modern maid,"
Mr. Brown said that although
many girls in other colleges do so,
only about one-sixth of the girls at
Stephens attempt to work their way
through. This is done sometimes by
waiting on tables, or in cases of musically talented pupils, by playing or
singin g over radio. "We find that
the students who work their way
throu gh school are some of th~ finest specimens of m entally and physically 'alert girlhood w e have to deal
with," said Me. Brown.
"Girls who develop leadership abllity in high school are almost always
the ones who are l eaders in college.
This is also true of grades and activities. A student active in high school
will follow the same line in college,
as a rule. For this r eason a pupil
should set his standards high early
in life and maintain them in whatever he does."
"Success," said Mr. Brown, "is a
hard word to define, especially when
used, not in a business way, but in
connection with an all-around, modern girl. If a girl truly and sincerely
lives up to these ideals, courtesy,
honesty, reverence, forcefulness, self..
diSCipline, and dedication to woma~ly
service, we may consider her a "successful" girl.
BE A SQUIRREL!!
Like squirrels storing up nuts for use during the winter blizzards, students should pack
bits of knowledge into their bulging (?) brains,
so that they can successfully negotiate the
treacherous tests which lie ahead of them, pass
the finals, and receive a passing grade. The
only known method, countless disastrous experiments having failed to produce another, of accumulating sufficient knowledge to pass muster
at the end of the semester is study.
Sometimes study is pleasant, and sometimes
it is disagreeable, but it must be done in either
case. That is, if the student doesn't want to
get another chance at the same subject next
semester.

At a meeting of Los Sabios, Tuesday, February' 11, in Room 129 Mr.

Latin-American Countries."
"The development of Latin-American trade is natural because Europe
has been paralyzed since the World
War," stated Mr. Clemmers. "However, Germany is now stronger and
is offering the United States strong
competition."
The fUndamental principle 'of buy·
ing and selling is gOod will, and salesmen traveling in Latin - American
countries should have a knowledge Of
Spanish so as to be able to sell their
goods wi~hout difficulty.
"America exports cameras, radios,
butter, eggs, lard, and cured meat
products to these countries," concluded Mr. Clemmers, "while we import
coffee, sugar, bananas, cocoa, lumber, hides, copper, and lead from
them."

The shoulder to shoulder match,
fired at the Omaha Rifle Club last
Monday at 7 : 30 p.m. between the
Central High School Cadet team and
' the 17tl1 'Infantry team of Fort
Crook, Nebraska, resulted in a victory for the Fort Crook team. Each
team consisted of five men, and the
firing was in the four positions:
prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing.
Organ Best for Central
Fort Crook's team, outnosed the
cadet team by a score of 1815 to
1704. Cadet Captain Tom Organ of
the cadet team fired a total of 372
out of a possible 400 with only two
other men with higher scores. Lieutenant Gunn of the 17th Infantry
team fired 383 out of a possible 400,
and Sergeant Speers fired a score of
380 . Sergeant Speers is one of the
best shots in the United States Army.
according to Sgt. Moore, while Lieutenant Gunn was a member of the
military academy team at West Point.
Many Score High
The scores of Central's men were:
Tom Organ, 327; Lawrence Nelson,
358; E'd ward Rich, 330; John Hartman! 329; and Stanford Nelson, 315.
"For the length of tim,e that the
cadet team has been shooting, the
prospects of having an outstanding
team look very good," stated Sergeant S. B. Moore, the coach of Central's team.

when a teacher was absent.
"Although my first impression of
Mr. Lewis was that he was of a stern

A color scheme of red, white, and

of students attend," said Rizalino Dnquel '3 2 in telling of the school hE'
attended before coming to the United States in June, 1929. "The morning session begins at seven and dismisses at twelve, while students attending in the afternoon go from
twelve until five. A class in any subject with forty students is considered small."
Rizalino attended the Philippine
School of Arts and Trades in Manila,
600 miles from his home.
Abolish Exams
"They re cently abolished all final
examinations there, but since the
class instruction at Central is more
strict, I do not find the examinations
very hard," he said. "There was only
one department in our school in
which girls could enrOll, that was thr.
radio department in which two girls
were learning to be radio operators.
Th e superintendents are usually
Americans, but the instructors or t eachers are both Filipino and American. 'The instruction is all in English,
and English is also taught as a separate subject. I wish that English
were taught in the Islands as it is
here; it is so much more interesting
at Central ," he continued.
When asked about the courses offered in the Manila schools, Rizalino
replied, "If on e wants to take a buslness course, h e must go either to n

spite of spending their time teaching,
tb e Hares romped horne with a 25-17
d ecision over the Eagles. The game
was one of the wildest on an Omaba
noor this season. Five Eagles went
to the showe rs with four personals,
and no less than forty-one fouls were
charged against the two teams, twenty-six of which were accounted for by
th e Purple.
Teams Battle Fiercely
The two teams battled fi ercely, in··
tense rivalry raging between the two
schools, and each little misdemeanor
was called by Referee Eddie Hickey.

took place, Jack Swanson, substitute

Since this game , however, changes
have taken place. Th e Bunnies ar e
holdin g the topmost rung of the lad·
d er in the city race, and they are destined to win the title if th ey eke out
a victory over the Eagles. They have
a difficult offense to solve, and th ey
playa fast game. LeRoy Thoma, captain of the Hares, is one of the outs.tanding guards of the city, and his
work has saved the Suburbanites severa l games.
Kruipplemen Lose Six
Th e Knapplemen are in a s lum p.
They have not won a game in thelr
last six s tarts, and although th ey
have show n flashes of form in some

The Eagles are workin g a faster

Th e Purple are near th e cellar in

Starting the new semester's lhirrl
week of hard practice, the class t ea ms
of Coaches Schmidt and Barnhill are
developing into more acco mplish ed
basketball quintets day by day.
In the west gym the juniors and
seniors of Coach Barnhill were r ecently joine d by a band of mid gets
from "Papa" .Schmidt's squad of 30
boys. Coach Schmidt divided his
freshmen into two groups, keepin g
his larger freshmen and lIopho mores
in the north gym and lendin g t he
frosh mites to "Uncle" Gilbert.
Coach Barnhill has k ept his 111(· lJ
scrimmaging a good bit th e last w ee).and has stressed passing and un derbasket shooting. Through a series nf
scrimmages, Coach Barnhill is developing a team to take down to tilt-'

Weimer and Mazzari were th e best

the Schmidtmen.
Over in the north gym, "Papa" is
busy lining his proteges into g ro u ps
and teaching th em teamwork. They
are rapidly learning how to gua rd,
pass and dribble with great pr oficiency. The frosh-soph bunch bas n .
