The gates oT child liood '—do yon remember? have clanged behind ns; how much they have set apart we but dimly realize. Four milestones mark the years, fruitful years, years in which joy and sorrow have been mingled, years in which success and defeat have found an equal place, years in which, as we have sown the seed of sincere and patient effort, there is a prediction of a golden harvest. That this may be even better than your dearest fancies picture is the wish of y0ur 0ld friend, The Mirror. That all your ambitions may be realized: that your castles in Spain may have a firm, rock-bottom foundation; that all your lives may be crowned with success and happiness- these things “The Mirror wishes for you.

“Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in 11 is hand, W ho saith, whole 1 planned, Youth shows but half ; trust God. see all. Xor be afraid !' ” The Mirror Board has many things to rejoice in. this commencement: it has had a splendid year, all things considered, but there is nothing for which the Hoard is as sincerely grateful and indeed, for which it owes so large a debt of gratitude, as for the inspiration the sjionsor. Miss Waldhorst. has given. Inspiration, yes, but a great deal more than that—Miss Waldhorst, for two years now. has given her time, her energy, her never-failing patience, to the work of The Mirror. ’ There is not a single member of the Board of Editors who can fail to realize that the high standard The Mirror” takes among High School publications is due in no little degree to Miss aldhorst’s aid. and that our High School paper would be a vastly different one if it were not for our sponsor. Hut only those who have been most closely concerned with The Mirror can understand the unnumerable instances when excellent Judgment and a steady hand saved the editors endless care and worry—the many trying moments when in a wild endeavor to make an attractive issue from often very unpromising material, only the patience and never-flagging interest of some one who knows, saved the reputation of our school paper. It is just such service this that Miss Waldhorst has rendered “The Mirror,” service that cannot be described with words, that lias its foundation in her enthusiasm in all she undertakes but especially in her devotion to The Mirror, and for this the Hoard wishes to assure her that it understands well what i he has given to the five issues of The Mirror this year, and. as host it can. sincerely and gratefully thanks her. MR. LEACH. Mr. Leach came to Central in September, 1916, and in less than a year his personality was felt in many of the activities of Central High School. Athletics has had in Mr. Leach a staunch worker and supporter, the duhs a valued and faithful advisor, the students a friend and companion. Mr. Leach was one of us. We arc all sorry to lose Mr. Leach, hut Uncle Sam has called him into service as a member of the officer's reserve and we are proud of him. OUR SOLDIER BOYS Tramp.
