"H. M. S. Pinafore," Gilbert and
Sullivan light opera, to be given in
the auditorium March 31 and AprIl 1.
Miss Marion Huxtable, choral director,
is in charge of the production.
Razzing old England in a setting of
the Queen's Nave, this comedy has
caused riots upon rits-thebitter Paafore
Riot of 1879 as well as the uproarious
riots of success in America.
Shows of this nature have recently
been based on American life such as
"I'd Rather Be Right" with George
Cohan.
"Because the underlying satirical
humor is most understandable 'Pinafore'
is suitable to be produced bya
high schoolcast," Miss Huxtable
pointed out. "Any high school which
produces musical shows should become
acquainted with the most standard
of all light operas."
Although light operas by many famous
composers have been presented,
"The Lass that loved a Sailor" is the
first Gilbert and Sullivan show to be
given at Central The last two musical
shows given here were- Planquette's
"Chimes of Normandy" and Victor
Herbert's "Red Mill."
The comedy
about the Queen's Navee has been given
by both Bstand West high schools.

Between 1:00 and 1:30.
Because of the many absences in
the past few weeks, it was decided that
the nurse's hours should be changed
to a more convenient time.
The school nurse is now in the
nurse's office every morning from 8
to 9:30. This makes it possble for
all pupils who have been absent to go
to the nurse's office, return to the
main office to get their absence cards,
and he in their home rooms before
the bell rings. The nurse comes back
to school In the afternoon between 1

Mr. Waehler Takes

Mr. Wahler recently took a business
vacation trip to Cleveland, Ohio,
where he attended a national convention
of school principals. This meeting
Is one of the greatest of its kind,
probably being surpassed only by the
political party conventions. It brings
together leaders in both educational
and social centers.
Discusslonal meetings are held to
talk over different educational problems
or ideas that some of these educators
may have. In these meetings
the underlying policies for the school
year are discovered and discussed.
There were between 13,000 and
14,000 administrators from all parts
of the country at this convention. The
site for next year's meeting has not
been decided upon, but three cities,
Chicago, HEuston, and Kansas City,
have put in requests for the convention.

Central Honor Pins
One girl and three boys, up to the
present time, are.the only students
who have completed the work necessary
to receive honor pins.
The one girl is Hazel Voss, who last
year was a member of the Art club,
student council, Mummers' guild, and
the National Honor society. This year
she Is the chairman of the departments
of the Girls' club, also.
The three boys are Bryant Roisun,

football for Central.
Merk Hobson, who belonged to the
National Honor society, Mummers'

Meet the Big Eight Champs
Coach Diehl Finishes His
First Full Year in Blase
of Glory
Team work plus individual stardom
has led Madison Central's basketball
team to a Big Eight co-championship.
Both playing ability and scoring have
been paramount with the Diehlcoached
boys this year.
Although each player was Individually
a team by himself, the squad
knew how to function together perfectly.
Every game clearly Illustrates
the point of perfect harmony and coordination.
First Since 1929
For the first time since 1929, when
it shared a championship with Beloit,
has the Orange and Black come up
to the front as champions. It is also
a distinct honor to a coach who holds
his first major poet in basketball. Last
year, he was temporarily coach until
a recent appointment. To win a championship
in your first real year of
coaching Is an honor, privilege, and
also an example of the amazing ability
of Coach Dehl.
Besides tying for the Big Eight
championship, Central has won the
city series championship. In all this
year, they have carried away team
scoring honors, individual scoring laurels,
city series championship.
Honor to Players
Derr, Sponem, and Joachim proved
to be the Big Eight's toughest forwards
this year. All three were very
good rebound artists. Derr proved to
be a high scoring forward. "Spaghetti"
Sponem was the scrappiest player onthe
team. Last but not least, comes
"Pope" Joachim, who in one year has
made a name for himself through his
floor game, shooting ability, and remarkable
rebound work.
Another pride of the Central team
is Art Welman, center. Not much has
to be said about Art, for everyone
knows his prowess at the pivot position.
Central can boast of Art as the
toughest and best defense center of
the Big Eight. Bob Lutz, who hasn't
seen much action, has proved his
scrappiness.
Meet the Midgets
Now we bring you the midgets of
the Big Eight and city bketball lore
-those three great little guards, Soalissi,
Coiletti, and Turnquist. Here is
displayed the other main reason as to
the fearless attitude taken by the
Central team. All three are excellent
floor players with fame known to all.
Proud Central
Central should be proud of its team
and the BEST coach in the Big Night.
Coach Diehl and the boys deserve all
the honor that goes with a Big Night
championship. Their accomplishments
have added one more tint of glory-to
Central's ivy covered walls.
The Mirror, on behalf of the student
body, wishes to congratulate the
team on Its splendid showing. We also
wish to give our heartiest regards and
congratulations to Coach Diehl. May
you have another successful
next year. Central is proud.

Aunt Sally Sallies
Forth With Much
Info' of Value
Dear Aunt Sally:
I am just starting high school
here, and rm having a hard time
making friends. Could you give me
ame suggestions as to how I can
make and choose intimate friends?
Your Hi-School Niece.
Dear Niece:
The most Important question Is, do
you get along well With others? This
is one of the most essential arts of
living. Can you detect boredom in a
listener even though it Is camouflaged
with politeness? You must be able to
interpret many signs shown in facial
expressions posture, and varied muscular
activities as well as in spoken
words.
In high school you are faced with
bigger opportunities for making new
acquaintances and friends, and because
of this, you learn to understand people
better and Improve your ability to get
along with them happily and effectively.
Because high school boys and girls
are inclined to restrict themselves to
the "old gang" through high school,
outsiders may feel they are encountering
barriers and feeling embarrassed,
assume the 'I-don't-care" attitude.
This makes it more difficult for them
to make friends. Tried and true friendship
should be cherished, but should
not keep you from gaining new
friends. All normal people desire intimate
friends with whom they can
share their thoughts and feelings. Such
friendships have effects on our personalities.
When choosing your friends consider
the following list of "essentials":
many interests in common, similar
standards of conduct, good sportsmanship,
good manners, unselfishness,
willingness to give and take, loyalty
and dependability, thoughtfulness
others,
of
neatness of appearance,
of
sense
humor.
No one fits your standard perfectly.
Do not try to reform your friends

yourself. Since friendship

is a
process, your first task

is

to
bring yourself into line as
as

possible with the standards you
have set for your friends.

Dear Pupils:

SNAKE CHARMER
The other column, so it is evident,
does not like this column. ell, we,
on the other hand, do not overrun
ourselves to declare our love for any
high-binder, with his nose to the
grindstone, looking for a puss full of
mud.
At least this column is not a verbatim
copy of the sport pages In the
daily papers.
He's so Ignorant he thinks a microbe
is an Irish nightie. He's so low he
could sit on a cigarette paper and
dangle his legs.
Women are the scourge of the earth.
They are a necessary evil. Men
were born to be suckers. That's
their nature. And women, vile
creatures that they are, take advantage
of us. It is the man's place
to rule-not the women's. Take away
all makeup and dress them in clothes
similar to each other. You will see
that person for person women do not
compare with men for beauty.

days, from what is heard. We hear
they make a delightful couple.

Kay Abel was talking about an accident
they had had. Their car had
gone Into the river. She had gone for
help. On the way back she saw her
male companion lying in the road.
"We pumped water out of him. He
came to, saw me, and thought he was
heaven."
Tsk. Tsk.
We don't hear much of the twins,
June and Joyce Johannes, lately. Evidently
their domestic troubles with
Don MacLennan and George Torgerson
are nil. This quartette must be
getting along rather famously, I should
say.
Where does Don Manthe get his
way with women? Drop around some
time, Don, and give the boys a few
pointers. Some of them need it. By
the way, how are you coming along
with the little girl from the East
Side? How do you keep track of her?
SPECIAL NOTE
This column and paper hereby absolves
itself from any responsibility of
arguments or brawls caused by anything
herein printed. We anticipate a
few disgruntled readers.
Mr. "Wild Bill" Marsh states that
is a story of two young girls In business.
"Grandma Called It Carnal"
Banon, is a cleverly written story
about the author's grandmother who
fought the 20th century and all its
modern innovations.
"Wind Over Wisconsin" by August
Derleth (that rising young author
from Sauk City) can be had in the
library now.
For the Intelligentsia (?) we have
"Windows on the World" (presents
world movements, fascism, communism,
etc) by Gould, "Government in
Action" by Keohane, and Mann's "The
Coming Victory of Democracy," both
of whose titles are self-explanatory.
Another book on different order than
the preceding (it's 10-1 that the only
people who will use it are the group I
am now referring to, that's why I am
mentioning it now-whew) is a guide
to pronunciation called "You Don't
Say" by Holt.
For athletic-minded (not that they
couldn't be In the deep-thinking group
-it takes brains to be an athlete) a
"Book of Major Sports" by Hughes
has been installed In the library. It
covers the four major sports, basketball,
football, baseball, and track.
The people with the how-to-winfriends-and-influence-people
complex
will be greatly helped by Wright's
"Getting Along With People," and for
those who look longingly at their class
presidents or club leaders and vow
someday they will be one, "The Art
of Leadership" by Tead will boost
them along.
I almost dread mentioning poetry
but now that spring is approaching
(young people's fancy turning to-well
-you know) I feel justified. Besides,
a little poetry doesn't hurt anybody,
not even you. For those who would

SPECIAL NOTES FROM
SPECIAL AGENTS
Charley "Tex" Christiansen has a
smooth way with women. He is a
combination of Tyrone Power and
Richard Greene. He makes both of
these look sick when he swings Into

Evelyn Swanson.

Bryant seems to have an interest in

There are a couple of girls, a certaIn
R. M. and a certain E. 0. who
are having a little difficulty over a
couple of guys G. M. and G. B., respectively.
Their home room (the
girls') is 120.
A QUESTION-
Do you think a girl has to neck to
be popular?
No, bat it helps.
You should see Tim Brown rhumba.
He was down in Bermuda for a while
and now - well, they're thinking of
lining the floor with asbestos.
The agents inform me that John
"J. D." Leonard is no longer in the
back seat since that brute from West
left Marjorie Clark with only reminiscences.
J. D. is now confronted by
only K. S. who lives on Sidney street.
He is a Central alumnus.
LAST RESORT
If you have any contributions for
this column please label it "For Debris

Game Time -- 7:30 p. in.
A last chance to see seniors of the
varsity cage team perform will be of-,
fered tonight when they encounter an
all-junior team at 7:30 p. m. in the
gym.
Proceeds of this game will be used
to buy gold medals for the basketball
members for winning a co-championship.
It Will also give an early preview
of next year's prospects.
Seniors
Heading the seniors will be Wellman
and Joachim at the forward posts.
Bob Lutz will play at center. Turnquist
and Leonard will be the guards.
Milward and Tilker will be reserve
players.
Juniors
A team, hoping to prove to the senlors
their superiority as a junior class
and as 1939-40 prospects, anxiously
await tonight's game.
Ross Sponemn will be center; Der
and Hendrickson, 'forwards; and Scalissi
and Colletti, guards.
The juniors have high hopes and
even prophesy to knock the seniors'
blocks off. They seem to have a tough
representation. What they will be able
to do against the big front line of the
seniors is doubtful
A public presentation of the medals
Will be given at Central in the near
future. It will be given on the order
of a big pep meeting.
"They may make the points-but
it will always take 5 to make a basketball
team."-Srs.

1. The main and principal reason is
that they DESERVE it. First championship
in 10 years.
2. No basketball team has received
such an honor and if any team deserves
it, Coach Diehl's 1938-39 cage
team certainly does.
3. No favors have been asked of the
school by this team, thereby entitling
them to the honor of being a considerate
and ungreedy-like team. (This
certainly should show that the boys
deserve it, because of their unselfishness,
etc.)
4. They did us a good turn, so let
us do them a good turn.
5. Central's name and reputation
has profited by the team's splendid
showing. The school should show their
gratitude for this year's accomplishment
of the team.
The team won't say anything, but
there are many who feel that the
team has shown that a banquet would
be appropriate for a splendid season's
work. In common English, GIVE THE
TEAM A WORTHY BANQUET.

Student Council
Sponsors Dancing
(Continued from page 1)
I'm not kidding, that's really true and
don't be surprised if you see all our
first-class athletes including La Sticka,
down in the gym learning to "truck."
The dancing lessons are being given
each Monday and Thursday during
the activity period. If you are busy
one day, you'll still have a chance to
be in on the fun. The dancing lessons
last year turned out to be such a suc-.
cess that the council decided to sponsor
another series like it.

For once the girls have a game
which the sports editor can complimient
them on, although this
game is really a MfAN's gamebadminton.
I hate to admit it, but
those girls have something on that
feather-'ball. In fact, they beat
yours truly and Mr. Diehl. Rose
Mergen and La Von "Push 'em up

partners. A return engagement will
be held, then watch out, you gals.

Hail the 1939 Mirror all-city basketball
team. The unusual thing about
the team this year is not only that
four of the five honored players are
Central stalwarts, but that all five
boys began their basketball career under
Mr. DieMl in ninth grade. Rolf
Olsen, former Centralite, was a promising
basketball player and now has
reached the pinnacle of his high
school career as a member of the
Maize and Blue.
Forwards .
Heading the list is Jack Denr, forward.
In his first year out he has won
both all-city and all-Big Eight football
honors as well as all-city basketball
honors. His playing ability together
with shooting accuracy has
made him the threat of the Big Eight.
Jack has been a very consistent ball
player. His rebound work and floor
game has been his most sensational
play for this year.
A former Centralite, but now a
West-sider, Rolf Olsen heads t he
other forward post. In Rolf we have
the most sensational promising basketball
forward in high school competition
for many years. Although
West had a hard luck season, Olsen
performed like a* true champion.

Meet Our Hero
-Coach Diehi
By TED JAFFERIS
Starting his first major year as
basketball coach at Central Mr., Milt
Diehi has brought the school glory
and fame. What he has done this
year proves his excellent qualities as
a coach. One point of his coaching
is clearly illustrated in the team work
evidenced this year.
That Coach Diehi was the motivating
power for his men's brilliant
showing is summed up by Ted Scalissi:
"If any other team had Mr.
DieMl as coach, they would have won
the Big Eight championship too."
The team holds Mr. DieMl in very
high respect, which is one reason why
the team played in such a manner.
Next year will find Coach Diehl back
with an equally tough team.
Here's to the best beloved coach of
Central. A man who knows his stuff,
who can adopt his mature ideas to
high school athletes, who has inspired
Central to a better athletic career,
and who, without a doubt, will continue
Central's growing Lame at basketball.
We give you Coach Milt DieMl,
the best coach in the Big Eight.

No student is awarded the pin

in the Big Eight.
Brilliant Guards
The guard positions have been given
to the two Central players bearing the
illustrious names of "Artle" Turnquist
and Teddy Scalissi. Both bays are on
an even par in playing ability, although
Ted has been a higher- scorer.
Their floor game has. been the most
spectacular seen this' year. Besides this
good point, the ball handling ability
of these two is of a -nature that only
coaches know how to comment and
compliment, one amazing thing about
the two "midgets" is that they are
exceptionally tough on rebounds.

Congratulations, boys, your spirit
has been commendable and gratifying.

YELL, you certainly can. May

next' year for another loud and
spirited season of yelling. Sorry,
