A Forward Look ln launching Centenary Academy as a separate institution the Board of Directors had in mind the fact that two things were necessary in order to establish and maintain a high class school: One of these. a faculty composed of experienced and efficient educators, the other a student body made up of young people of high character, each of whom would be an inspiration to his fellow students. Our success in this matter finds ample expression in the faculty and student body which we have brought together and the work that has been accomplished during the year that is now coming to a close. Our successes during this session are but a suggestion of what the future shall be. While there goes from our student body in the Senior class a group of excellent young people, we have in each of the lower classes a large nucleus of as fine young people as can be found anywhere, and already we are receiving applications for reservations for the coming year. The splendid school spirit that has developed in our student body is already beginning to exert itself toward the establishment of ideals and aspirations in a number of outstanding features: noticeably among these is the keen rivalry in debating and other inter-society activities as well as scholarship attainment. The Dramatics department is worthy of special mention. Several plays of a very high order have been presented and it is the purpose of the school to expand this department for another year. The Boys, Hi-Y and Girls' Reserve have been organized and have already begun their work of developing the moral and spiritual side of the stu- dent body. With an increased student body and a corps of teachers, who have proven themselves capable, we shall begin a new session under most favorable auspices. The Academy proposes to do more than teach text books, it assumes the responsibility of helping each student who enters its doors in the formation of right habits and the development of character.
