PhiIonian Man Honored
The announcement of the winners
of the Lamberton Oratorical Con-
test showed that the Philonian De-
batting Society again had the honor
to have one of it's members among
those who won prizes in this con-
test. Lewis K. Rimer is one of the
winners of the oratorical contest,
and he is also a prominent member
of the Philonian. He also has the
distinction of being Sthe present
president of the Senior Glass, and
at the same time holds the import
ant position of Business Manager of
the Argus. The p. d. S. was hon
ored not long ago by having five
of it's members on the school debat-
ing teams.
GIee Clubs ;
In former years Central has al
ways had four large. well-trained
glee clubs which could be counted
on to take part in every entertain
ment or contest that the school had
in charge, but this year, owing to
the reorganization of the school
under the principleship of Professor
Severance, and the setback that
the school had during the flu cpl
demic, the glee clubs have not held
the same prominent place in the
school life of the students. Although
it is late date to reorganize these
clubs, the Seniors, both boys and
girls, have decided to get together
again in order to prepare for the
coming Lam berton oratorical con-
test. Professor Edgar G.. Rose, in
structor of music, has signified his
desire to train the clubs as soon as
they reorganize, and the student
body may expect to have two we'll
trained musical organizations take
part in the Lamberton contest
Both clubs have planned to get
together as soon as sessions change.
Who Is the Best?
Who is the best speaker in Cen
trail? That is the question that has
been in the conversation of every
group of students since the winners
of the Lamberton oratorical con-
test have been announced. Four
Senior boys have been selected
from their class as having written
the best orations on The Life of
Daniel Boone" and the coming
oratorical contest will prove which
boy in the school is the real Demos
themes. The date for the contest
has not been announced, but it will
