VVill soon be merged in memory, And friendly faces dimmed with tears VVill vanish with advancing years. Like mirages on desert sands That fade before approaching bands, Thus do the shifting sands of time Erase the past howe'er sublime. This school from which we now depart VVill linger always in our heart Like fiowers that bloom at dawn and die Yet leave their fragrance in the sky, But we who now leave study's shrine To join the ranks of life's long line, VVill never until death forget Our days spent here without regret. How we shall cherish every hour Spent in the shadow ofits bower, For we shall miss these battered walls The cool calm cloister of its halls And every cranny, every nook More eloquent than any book Bfeathes forth a volumn fancy filled Born of love time has instilled. Oh all to soon the years have sped Replaced by wisdom in their stead, Our days at old C. C. are o'er Time bids us whisper Au revoir . Yet time's a robber who repays His thefts in many subtle ways, Though time may steal us from our school He leaves with us a priceless jewel The gem of knowledge, rarest wealth Far precious more than life itself! For Education forms the mind As the twig is bent, the trees inclined . In future years we'll wander through These channels dim in memory's hue, And find ourselves in musty halls Surrounded by familiar walls. And as we step back through the years Our eyes will flood with tender tears, Withiii our hearts a hope will yearn A latent love still fiercely burn Fanned by the flame, age cannot cool, The sacred spirit of our school. Donald Mulhaupt, '25 .Ll-10-L-1-i History of the Class of . Nineteen Twenty-Five Central Catholic High School first welcomed within its walls the class of twenty-five on September 26th, 1921. Our ranks at that time numbered sixty- fiye. the largest class that had entered C. C. up to last September. It con- sisted of artists, poets, comedians and athletes who have since brought re- nown to their class and school. At our first class meeting, Zuber, Burke, and Libbing were duly elected president. secretary and treasurer, re- spectively. VX'e First came into the limelight in the prize essay contest, announced and sponsored by our faithful friend, Father Conroy. Richard Qrff, won first prize. The literary quality of the manuscripts entered prompted Father Conroy to add a second and third prize as a fur- ther expression of his appreciation. They were given to Jennings Striefuss and Donald Mulhaupt in the order mentioned. At that time the spirit of class jour- nalism seized our class, and we issued many freshmen periodicals. They were printed under such inspiring names as The Plain Dealer , The Goofy Gazette , The Rubeville Bu- gle , The Standard and Times', and The Red Monopoly . Early in April, our many editors consolidated and printed the paper known as The Bourgeois . It represented the best efforts of the class for that year. just before school closed, we made plans for a class picnic which was held at the farm home of Odilla Jordan. VVe spent a perfect day and had an ex- tremely good time. After our picnic it was only a matter of time until school closed. Roy and Doyle, who tied for class honors, carried home the gold medals issued to the student pos- sessing the highest average. After a very pleasant vacation, we
