"Yeah Purple! Yeah White!" With autumn, football suits are taken out of the moth balls, and the
team goes out on the field again to make new records for Central. This year the Eagles are particularly promising. All they need is some good loyal
support from the rest of the school.
All of us, I am sure, feel deep down inside us a
certain pride in ~he Purple school and team. At
times this spirit lies dormant, but not dead,. by
any means.

Anybody can sit on the side lines and freeze while

to be somebody, and we want ~l the world to know

that we're behind them, win or lose!
Have you ever heard the average conversation
after a game? If the Eagles won the game, why,
people go around proudly, swelling visibly, telling
everyone how "we" won. It's another story when
the Eagles lose. "The team" lost, is the way folks
will put it.
We want to be the kind of a school that wtll

BERLIN DIARY
By William L. Shirer
Shirer, in the introduction to
his book says that, unlike most
diaries, this one was written not
purely for private satisfaction but· with the thought that
It might one day be publlshed.
After an idyllic year in a Spanish fishing village, Shirer
",as hurled-after a brief stop in Paris- into Nazi Germany where as Berlin correspondent for the Columbia
Broadcasting system he had a uniqu'e opportunity to observe from 1934 to 1941 the Nazi ideology at work.
Interesting now to look back' and see the a ggressive
steps of the Germans and the swift retreat of the weakkneed European democracies, afraid to unite for their
common protection. Interesting to be shown so clea rly
what England, and France, Poland. the Scandinavian
countries. the Lowland countries - and America - could
have done to stop Hitler early in the game. And what they
didn't do.
To some readers Shirer's observations on German character may be startllng. On July 14, the date of the Hitler
purge ot the S.A. , Hltler screamed to the yes-men of the
Reichstag. "The suprem~ court of the German people during these twenty-tour hours consisted of myself!" The
deputies cheered madly. Comments Shirer, "I had almos t
torgotten how strong sadism and masochism are in the
Ge!~an people."
HIGH
REGISTER
Ame rican isolationists will possibly1>e indignant at the
n ews that the Germans have always been much pleased
by the claims of Charles A. Lindbergh and General Hugh
Johnson. The Germans have attacked President Roosevelt·s statements; they have never attacked those of Johnson or Lindbergh.
The deliberate suppression of news from the public to
th e Reich is well demonstrated by headlines Shirer quotes.
ANSWER TO POLAND, RUNNER-AMOK AGAINST
PEACE AND RIGHT IN EUROPE. Another - POLES
BOMBARD WARSAW. One of the best - ENGLAND'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS PROVOKING OF WARSA WTO DEFEND ITSELF .
The average radio listener doesn't realize the tremendous difficulties encountered in the mere broadcasting,
once the news itself has been gathered. Shirer describes
one broadcast delivered ill the icy-cold studio at' the top
of a stadium. using the only facilities available. He had
to blow on his fingers so that they would not be too' numb
to turn the pages of script. This was one of his most minor
troubles.
There have been dozens of books written to show the
fanaticism. the intolerance. the brutality of the Nazis.
The book 'might be compared to John Gunther's "Inside
Europe" except for the fact ' that Shirer gives a much more
personal view and concentrates on Nazism within 'Germany. No one has told the story so simply, so starkly, as
has Bill Shirer.

Pennies from Heaven . . . or anyway, pennies to buy

"Quick! May I use your radio for a minute? I want
to hear how I sound on the air" . . . Miss Mac dashed
breathlessly into the journalism room Wednesday. Sure
enough, a moment later her voice came over the air! Some
four weeks ago she had taken a small part in the radio
skit, "The Other Woman." It took a full month for the
record to be used . ..
"Yes, I had a lQcker. There we r e eight other people in

Journalists Achieve
First Floor Lockers
"Th ey can't do this to me! " ... "It's a crime!" ... "Why.
we've lock e red to ge the r since we were freshmen!" •.•
"Yea h, first floor lockers!"
With such exclamations and many other tales of woe.
Regis te r s taff me mb e rs wildly g reeted Mrs. Savidge's calm
announcement that a ne w system on lockering stair members had been installed.
For years the jounrnalis m room has been the floundering about beneath a h eavy stack of coats, galoshes, hats,
everything, including lunches in various stages of disr e pair.
At last Mrs. Savidge thought of a way to escape. If
everyon e had lockers just outside the door of 149, the
lockers could take th e beating for a change.
Now all staff members yearning for first fioor lockers
have realized this ambition. The one condition made. was
that they lock e r with a journalism student. Hence the
wails of protest. However, because of this condition, the
department "drafted" one girl. She wanted a first floor
locker, but she got a class in Journalism I to go with it!

* Laurel Childe
Dear OIJ
Golden School Days
Platter Chatter
As usual, about this time of the year, the air is filled with
many lovely ballads. A few of the choice ones are "I DOll ' t
Want to Set the World On Fire," "Flamingo," "This Love
of Mine," "You and I," "Adios," "Under Blue Canadian
Skies," and "I Know Why."
B. Goodman gives out with some top-flight jazz on a
ten-inch platter called "Tuesday at Ten." Lou McGarity's
trombone is the shining star, with the famous Goodman
clarinet and a solid beat from the rest of the boys for
background. The reverse is "Air Mail Special," a Mundy
opus.
Claude Thornhill's lovely theme, "Snowfall," is making
its record debut under Columbia colors. Opposite is
"Where or When," a pretty arrangement of a very pretty
tune.
To prove that Glenn Miller's sax section is the best in
the business, Glenn has recorded "You and I," and "Angels Came Through." In the former, Ray Eberle furnishes
a fine beat. In the latter, Eberle gives forth with his usual
lovely vocals. supported by a fine Beneke tenor chorus.
Alvino Rey had the jivers jumping at the ·C hermot last
Sunday evening. He kicked just enough to keep the cats
happy, but everybody really got in the swing.
The King sisters and their knock-down version of
"Tiger Rag" made a great hit along with many other
pretty and very solid arrangements.
Wee Bonnie Balcer
'Oh, Johnny 01.1'
tiny, dimpled girl dressed in white from her tiny feet
to her neat dark curls ran across the wing of the Orpheum
stage, pausing only long enough to knock superstitiously
on the wooden side boards before taking the stage for her
next number.
A,
That's just how unpretentious and human "Wee Bonnie
Baker" is, off stage as well as on. The little miss, star attraction of Orrin Tucker's stage show, now running at
the Orpheum, smiled sunnily at her interviewers.
"Yes, I've been singing with Orrin for five years now,
and I like it ever so much, " she said. During that short
period, she has set an all-time high in record sales with
her memorable "Oh, Johnny."
In discussing her "affairs" Bonnie said, "Well, first
th e re was •...rohnny,' · then "Billy," and now it's "Jim."
But I think everybody must have liked "Johnny" best."
"You're the One" is th e first picture Orrin and Bonnie
have made together. This winter. though they are planning to start another film while on set location.
"Omaha," both Orrin and Bonnie agreed. "has been
g r eat to us. However, we have played to bigger crowds!"

Lawrence Bordy '33 has graduated from the University of
Chicago, and is now waiting for his appOintment to the
naval intelligence service. While attending Central he was
a member of the National Honor society, two chapters of
the Junior Honor society, and assistant editor of the Register his senior year.
He has completed the

Bill Hart '33 is now attached to the American Embassy at
Buenos Aires in connection with the Rockefeller program
to promote be tter relations.
When at Central Bill was a member of the National
Honor society and three chapters of the Junior Honor society. He was assistant editor of th e O-Book and editor of
the Register his junior year and business manage r of both
the Register and O-Book staffs his senior yea r. Active in
many of Central's activities, Bill was also editor-in-chlef
of The Purple and White Handbook.
After graduating from :Central, Mr. Hart specialized in
modern languages at the University of Chicago. He received his B. A. degree and then completed one year of
g raduate work. Following that he had one year's study
at the Sorbonne in Paris.
Upon his return to the United States. he taught two
years at Culver military academy. At the end of the school
semeste r, last June he left for his post in South America.
Ban g ! Bang! Bang! "Will the meetin g please come to
oruer ! " This is practically the s loga n of La tfr e l Childe,
ne wly e lecte d 'p resldent of Lininge r Travel club. and expresiuent of both he r freshman and sophomore class.
Laure l, a member of th e Student Council this year. was
also th e Council secretary last year.
Aside from such positions, "Lollie" also manages to
make Junior Honor society each year, and to belong to
Colleen s, Central High Players, and Latin club.
Music. any kind of it, is tops with the dark-eyed, dark
haired girl. "Howerer," she says, "bands mostly sound
alike. so I stick to th e light classics." Th e Ford Sunday
Eve nin g Hour is her favorite program. and she rather
favo rs "Smoke Gets In YoU'\' Eyes."
''I'm not good at any particular sport," Laurel admits
mod es tly. "but I do love to dabble In them all ... especially horseback riding."
To attend the University of Chicago. and to "break up
atoms" are her chief ambitions. But she has always
wanted to go to Central just for one day without getting
lost some way or another.
"I like my men big, since:e , (emphasis on this) and
with a brain cell or two,:: .she commented. "But even with
_ their bra ins, they must be fun. The brains shouldn't detract from their glamour."
Since "Lollie" is movin-g to Washington, D. C. with her
family some time before Christmas, her idea of the perfect
vacation of the futur e is a few weeks in Omaha! Heretofore, a summer spe nt at the family cabin in Wisconsin
with a sailboat and a good breeze had been quite satisfactory.
Apple cider, crisp autumn days, yellow flowers .. even
dandelions rate hi g h with this ambitious senior. Her "pet
peeve" is peevish people. But if you want to stay in her
good g races . just don't call her "Dearie."
To all he r good friends here at Central. Laurel can
only say "h e llo and goodbye." To one of Central's brightes t stars, we say Bon Voyage!
Hi. chilluns! Well, an eventful summer is over. and we
are back again with all the news on fads 'n' fashions for
the new school year. According to authorities you will
definitely be up to snuff if you are" in the red!"
Speaking of red, have you seen those adorable red shoes
studded with nailheads-straight from Mexico. The lucky
owner just got back from there last Sat.uIday afternoon .
Not to be outdone, one of our smiling seniors has come
out in a divine two piece red wool with accents of black
velvet at the neck and wrists and a small black hat trimmed in red to match.
A flare for the unusual is seen in one red and green
plaid suit which is made on the Tyrolean style with lapels
and pockets of red felt.
W es t. is west and east is New York, and that's the place
from which that beautiful butterscotchy tweed skirt and
hat come. They are worn by the curly-headed, browneyed senior who also brought back a gorgeous camel 's
hair coat with a satin quilted lining.
Th e color of camel's hair is repeated in the sort wool
skirt which belongs to last year's ice box-if you know
who I mean. With it she wears an absolutely de-lovely
brown sweater in which she looks nice and toastie.
A s nappy sophomore who may be recognized by her
coal black hair and shining black eyes is the proud owner
of a simply ultra, blue and brown plaid suit with one of
those new long jackets.
An import from Minneapolis is the perfect plus. brown
three-piece tweed suit worn around Central's halls by that
attractive brown-haired senior who sports cut's pin.
Another cute little senior who very recently has procured
an emblem of the same sort looks very yummy when she
steps out in her new black bengaline with black velveteen
trim and a large rhinestone clip to set it off. All in all, it's
just another of those sweater ' n' skirt years.

MISS VIRGINIA PRATT
'·Hi! Ginny!' Now I·s
'Hello, Miss Pratt!'
Teachers and pupils of Central are in
a quandary when they see a blondehaired girl-or ladJ'. They don't know
whether to say, "Hello, Virginia" or
"JIello, Miss Pratt."
The cause of this trouble is Miss
Virginia Pratt, who has returned to
teach general mathematics at the
same school from which she graduated only four years ago.
Miss Pratt made an impressive record while' at Central. In 1937, her
senior year, she was voted Miss Central _III and ideal Central girl. Besides belonging to Lininger Travel
club and the glee club, Miss Pratt was
a member of the National and Junior
Honor societies.
, After grad uating from Central,
Miss Pratt enrolled at Randolph-Macon Woman'-s college at Lynchburg,
Virginia, and grad uated after four
years of 'study. It was there she entered teaching because she thought
it would be interesting, and she liked
working with people.
When the Central mathematics department was changed, Miss Pratt
came h er e . At first things were a little strange, but now she feels right
at home with everyone. ' ' ' .
So for those who need a good
teacher:, tak e Virginia-er, Miss Pratt.
Classrooms Change

by
During the summer many changes
'were made in the homemaking department. Mrs . Florence Roush's
clothin g classes were moved from
rooms 49 and 1,0 to rooms TO and 11.
Room 11 formerly a type room.
When principal Fred Hill gave the
go-ahead signal this summer, girls
from toe advanced clothing classes
came to school and worked with Mrs.
Roush in cleaning the rooms and arranging the furniture. Under the
direction of Nadyne Coon, they made
drapes both for the windows and for
the doors, and covers for the chairM,
giVing th e rooms a homelike atmosphere for the benefit of the students.
Frank Rice's English 'classes are

Versatile Count Cutelli Makes
Complete Effects in Car~oons
The first attraction on the activities
program, October 1, will be Count
Cutelli, the original sound effects man
whose throat has a repertoire of 2,000 sounds.
Count Cutelli has a standing offer
of $2,000 from the anthropological
institu te of Berlin, to be paid to his
heirs ' if the Count will a llow his head
and throat to be used for research
after his death.
A t the present time he is the comple t e sound ' dei>artment for Leon
Schlesinger's " Looney Tunes ." . Ite
still takes pride in the fact that .he
gave the world the first cry of Abraham Lincoln, at birth, in D. W. Griffith 's "Abraham Lhicoln." His equip"
ment is used by England's studios,
by nearly ' all the radio stations in
America, and by the government stations of 11 foreign countries.
Although his particul,a:r interest is
the technical end of sound, he stages
an e ntertaining act, imitating train
sounds, airplanes drop-ping bombs.;
baby cries, and an iceberg avalanche.
The hardest sound he ever mastered
with his throat was the sound of a
hurricane , while the cry of a cuckoo
was the mos t difficult sound for him
to control in his throat.
H e has patented all of his in ventions, such as the rubber ball he uses
on the .stage. It is, a hand:-made affair, lined with material like moire
s ilk, which holds about 120 piece~ of
g ranulated lead. It is capable of tiui.kin g the sounds of six trains, three

through under pressure. Tech has Allsllate' tackHl j' Mike . Dil l1ase, and ·In..;'

from last year's team which tied for
the state title along with Hastings

very good in practice and it looks as
if the annual Central-Tech game is

team assembled on the hilltop for several years. Coach Don Fleming who
is making his debut with the Junior
Jays has a light, inexperienced crew
to work with, but after a couple of
games under their belt, they a r e
bound to be rough. Jim Eastman, a

sparkplu gs in early drills.
Coach Cornie Collin has his South

Benson is again a question mark,

North has been improving steadily

Riflery, Tennis, Archery
Only Part of Competition
Because of the gaining popularity of
arch ery and badminton, these tw.p
sports are being offered to girls after
school on Mondays and Wednesdays .
in a four week tournament.
Central High school won the Intercity girls' tennis championship last
spring. With a sweeping victory, Adelaide McCague '4 0 and Shirley Vernon
'43 won the doubles from Benson. By
defeating Frances Bleich of Tech,
Norma J ean,ne Michaels '43 captured
the singles tennis title.
.
For those interested in tennis this
semester, Miss Treat will coach beginning t echniques of tennis after school
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Girls who
wish -to tryout for the spring 1942
tennis team should r eporf to the gy.m
office today. It is not necesary to take
gy m or to belong to G.A.A. to enter
af ter-school activities. However, girls
may help win their school, city and
state awards by attending regularly.
Ruth Bruhn '40, the first girl in
five years to win her expert rifleman
award, is the only member lost by
graduation. Prospects look bright for
the girls' rifle team with five varsity
members: Lois J ean Turner, Linda
Sue :C olley, Barbara Byrne, Joe Ann
Rapp, and Dorothy Devereux, Girls
riflery will start sometime late in October under the direction of Sergeant

like any other coach, I won't predict," exclaimed Coach Perry of the
freshman football squad. Immensely
pleased with the large turnout for
frosh football, Perry hopes to mold
a team somewhat along the lines of
last year's freshman champions who
went undefeated.
This year's freshman team has an
unusually heavy line which averages
170 pounds. The heaviest man to appear in a freshman suit this year is
Gen e Tetrick, tackle, who weighs 193
pounds. To top it all , Perry claim ed
to have a fast backfield and a duo of
tripl e threaters. One of these boys is
Dick Week-es, the kid brother of Ernie'39 , who gained All-State recognition his last year. The other outstandin g back is Bill Green, who is a capable ball handler. Combine these boys
with that 170 pound line and Central
should be well-represented by their.

In 1938 the two ·~ieams- fought 10 a
6-6 deadlock which clinChed city
laurels for Central. Then came 1939,
Central's,..,-last ·game of the season. To
win ,tn{'city championship the Purple
and White had ta beat the Benson
contingent. All they could salvage
from that heart-breaking game was a
0-0 tie. Las t year the rivalry between
the two teams was halted because of
several postponeIflents. Finally the
gam e was called off because it had
no significance on the outcome of the
standings in the league. This year the
game was moved from its usual place
of las t game on the ,schedule to first.
Coach Ralph Ross' boys have an
unusual array of fast men in the
backfield. Two of Central's nemeses
in track have returned to plague
them in football. They are George
Surber and Courtland Frye. Surber
is the state champion hurdler and
Frye is the runner-up. With two such
men as these, backed up by a 171
pound line, Benson should present a
formidable opponent for the Eagle
grid machine tonight.
.
The Central boys, with an eye on
the city crown, are going methodically forward to win each game as it
comes. A light, well-balanced outftt
will comprise the team that Coach
Norm Sorensen will send on the field
tonig·ht. Central will present a fast
wide-open, razzle-dazzle sort of gam~
and will start formations - from a
single wing and modified T lineup.
