Within, all will be arranged so as to include the latest conveniences. Large, comfortable, well-lighted study rooms will be provided and the special departments will be fitted out to meet the most modern requirements. The class rooms, too, will equal any in the states, and, oh, ye plodders of the lunch room trail, there will be a regular cafeteria that rivals Brirling’s or the Tutwilcr. or both. Our library, dedicated to Orville Coston. will be a special feature in the new building. Surely we appreciate the interest of those who have so earnestly contributed to its success. May it live always in its new home as a lasting memorial to him who represented us so faithfully in the Great War. o student of Central could have shown more interest in his class and club, nor gone so bravely out to defend all that he held dear. And in the library no volume will be treasured so much as a small, soiled book, the lone survival of Central’s old library, “The Future of America.” by II. G. Wells. We attach a special sentiment to the tact that of some fifteen hundred volumes, this book, whose title bears such a meaning significance, alone was saved. It is the fundamental belief of all great teachers that their life’s work is to prepare us, as the builders of the future of our nation, for the tasks of life. Each class will leave the future of Central to those who arc to come, as they depart to share in constructing the future of America. May no class of our school enter upon this sacred mission in vain! R. D. BIRD OF OMEN Bare brown beach where the wind is deep. Catching the waves’ white hands. As they fling her beautiful jewels to keep. Tossing her shells on the sands. In the lee of the rock the long sea-moss, Flaunting her floating, hair— The wind in the grey crags mourns its loss. To the deep pools hidden there. O Sea! with thy wonder of white and blue. And the silver of blown sea-spray— O’er thy lone levels a white bird flew. Into the ebbing day. And the tremulous tints of sunset came. Though we viewed them through our tears— And the bird flew forth like a purple flame, And was lost in the Night of Years. Dorothy Elizabeth Winters, 21. Page Twenty-one

alone. Including the time spent staying in for punishment and afternoon sessions. this figure runs up. in my own case, to 789.425.? hours, besides an hour or two thrown in occasionally for regular study. If I had spent all this time working even at the wage of the lowest laborer 1 would have amassed a fortune large enough to buy a comfortable home, a modest automobile, and a loaf of bread. All this have 1 denied myself for this document- On the other hand, this seemingly worthless article represents, also, an untold knowledge of everything, a developed brain and a host of friends. Then, in the consideration of the fact that we do know everything, what corporation can refuse us its presidency with its accompanying gigantic salary whereby we can recuperate our financial condition? What fruit-stand will not gladly yield its proprietorship to us—the great minded? But. finally, in all seriousness, it has been worth time, effort and all. and let us hope that if we ever receive a similar college certificate it will he. at least, as well deserved and appreciated. L. R. OUR NEW CENTRAL” In the memory of twenty-five per cent of the Class of '21 there dwell the sweet recollections of one joyous semester in “Old Central,” and with the other seventy-five per cent there remains only the fleeting vision of one full day in that far famed institution of learning. One day—and on the evening of the opening day of the spring session the great structure was reduced to ruin! The rest of the four years has been completed—and well completed, we may boast—in churches, stores, the old Medical College, and the improvised “annexes.” But as we look back over these many months we can but realize that there must have been a strong force which held us all together under such trying circumstances, nor is it hard to decide who deserves the credit for this successful work of reorganization. We may give it entirely to our faithful principal and sympathetic faculty. All that we may have lost in the burning of our school they have, as amply as was possible, repaid to us. The spirit of Old Central is with us, and we joyfully pass it on to that enviable class—the class which even now must be represented in our ranks as Freshmen, Sophomores, or perhaps Juniors—which on some glorious June day will he the first to be graduated in the auditorium of the new and greater Central. And such a Central as it will he! Even now the ground on which it is to stand is being cleared, an entire block reaching from Sixth to Seventh Avenues, and from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth Streets. The large stone building will be situated in the centre, bounded on all sides by a space of sixty feet. This will insure quiet and, incidentally, add much to, the appearance of our school.
