The boys begin their mid-day airing after lunch. Notice the youthful expressions on the variety of faces. I-lazy notions of the boys' vocations are brought into sharp focus through Brother Austin's patience and excellent advice. Two students leave the Brother's Chapel after taking a few minutes of their lunch time to pay a visit to Our Lord. Not to forget the religious aspect, we find the 'stately St. Paul's Cathedral. It is here that the Most Reverend Iohn F. Dearden reigns over the diocese. Once known as the Avenue of Millionaires, Fifth Avenue now contains numerous monuments from that era of the Carnegies, the Mellons, and other exclusives.

Students of the four divisions get a chance to mingle with their friends and talk over future doings.

East Liberty, with its huge shopping dis- trict, bright lights, and heavy traffic, presents a scene one might easily mistake for a section of the Golden Triangle. Central could be well named the school of the united districts of the city. Lawrenceville, Hazel- wood, Greenfield, and Wilkensburg, to mention a few, are all contributors to the ranks at Central. With this well rounded balance of' environ- ment, the reason for Central's rapid and steady progress during the first twenty-five years, is clearly evident. 515: Hot dogs? Soup? Mashed potatoes? Step right up boys! Get them while they're hot! The cafeteria bulletin board holds the close interest of three boys, while a fourth boy seems to enjoy all of his ice-cream at once.
