The football season of '23
was featured by the presence of the ol' Central spirit and the usual
amount of fight. The veteran material on hand at the opening of
the season was not as much as it has been at the opening of most other
seasons, but through the efforts of "Sherm" a fighting, nose
grinding, eleven was molded.
This was Coach Coryell's first Central team, and it
proved a success inasmuch as it was a team that played the game for the
love of it, and not for the honor and glory of victory. May "Sherm"
have the best of success with his future elevens and prove as great a
friend of the fellows as he proved to be with this team.
The season was one in which the fellowship of the
team was a feature and one in which the fellows enjoyed representing
Central.
The trip to Detroit was a pleasant one and the
showing of the warriors of Gold and White was very creditable.
The team takes this opportunity to thank the student
body for their loyal support, the Reserves for their participation in
the molding of the team, and the various clubs for their efforts and
delivery of good pep meetings.
Best wishes for the success of future Central
elevens.

The past basketball season has
been a very successful one, not only in the number of games won, but in
the spirit in which they have been played. The team showed a very
good brand of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Although the state championship was lost, the city
championship was won. The team was seldom outplayed in basketball
this season, but lacked the years of experience to win the state
championship.
The team wishes the best of luck to the coming
team, and thanks the student body and clubs of the school for their
loyal support.
The letter men of the team during the last season
were: Captain Frank Matheson, Fenton Raber, Keith Goodrich, Ralph
Bowstrom, Lawrence Wilds, Jack De Fraga, Sibley Tenhoor, Stewart De
Vries, Rex Worden, James Ray, and Robert Bowstrom. Harold Grill
and Jacob Steketee received minor letters.

Reserve Team Football
|
| The Reserve football team
of the season of '23 accomplished the regaining of the Second Team City
Championship after losing it for the first time in '22. The team
was exceptionally light in weight, but through the work of Coach Conger,
a formidable aggregation was finally mustered. The game that was
the feature of the season was the one with South when Central's scrubs
trounced their opponents to the tune of 26 to 6.
The first team of next season will be composed
largely of the boys that played with this year's Reserves, and with the
same amount of fight as has been shown by this bunch, a respectable team
will represent Central on the gridiron next fall.
The team wishes Coach Conger and the men who
compose the Reserves of future years the best of luck and success.
"AL" GUY.

As will be seen from the above statement
Houseman Field absorbs the major part of the income of the Athletic Association,
but there is no doubt, that this project in beneficial to Central High School as
a whole. The incentive to effort in a laudable undertaking is stimulating
to the individual or the group.
Much has been accomplished but a great deal
remains to be done before the ideal field can be realized. School loyalty
which assures a continued interest in the project, the general sentiment that
the united support of the student body is indispensable to final success, and
the feeling that all reasonable economies should be practiced towards this end
are important experiences in the life of the student.
The improvement of the Field stands out
definitely as a school enterprise and as such enlists our interest and energy to
a far greater extent than it would if it were acquired as a gift from a private
individual or were equipped by the Board of Education. Of course the most
substantial aid that can be given towards the fulfillment of our ambition is
furnished bye the regular attendance of students at all games. As an
additional incentive special student rates are usually offered.
In the past several very helpful
contributions to athletics have been made by the school organizations; among
which were blanket for the football team by the College Club, traveling bags for
the basketball team by the K. E. E. Club, jerseys by the Paragons, and a gift of
one hundred dollars by the Cavaliers. All of these gifts are
representative of school sentiment towards athletics and are greatly appreciated
by the Board of Control.
Ultimate success is sure if we make a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together.
