ValeAictosuf, A s our final year at school draws quickly to a close, we, the graduating class, look back on four of the happiest years of our lives, so profitably spent. Common interests in studies, sports, clubs and social activities, have led to valuable friendships. What we have gained will serve as the basic ground¬ ing for future fields of endeavor. To our fine teachers who have so willingly given of their knowledge, personality and time—in and out of school hours—we extend our sincere thanks. Our outlook on life during our high school, days has been greatly broadened. We stand on the threshold of the future, confident that the train- ing we have had at Central High School, has prepared us to accept life as a challenge. To the Undergraduates we would say this: Plant the right seeds of thought. Bury them deep in the furrows of your consciousness, and in the future years of your life, you will reap the harvest you deserve. Tennyson puts it this way: “I must work thro’ months of toil, And years of cultivation, Upon my proper patch of soil To grow my own plantation. I’ll take the showers as they fall, I will not vex my bosom: Enough if at the end of all A little garden blossom.” 10 —GWYNNETH JONES.

VaUxfociosuf, AS summer draws near, we realize that our school-days, after the fashion of all good things, must end. No longer shall we pick up our books and toddle off to school, nor wander in these same halls, nor study in these same classrooms. All this must come to an end. Soon it will be our time to say “Good-bye ”, We shall be sorry to leave Central, you and I, for our three years here have been happy ones. In the days to come, we shall miss, but not forget, the fun and fellowship we have enjoyed together. Three years ago we first came here, innocent and ignorant. Now we are to leave, perhaps not as innocent, and—although some of the teachers may disagree—not as ignorant. This sur¬ prising increase in wisdom is due almost entirely to the staff of C.C.I., who by their patience and personal interest have helped us to acquire not only knowledge, but also have shown us some of the finer points of human char¬ acter. To them, our sincere gratitude. In this world, everything that marks an end, also marks a beginning. The end of one day is the beginning of the next; the end of one task, the beginning of a new one. So tonight, we seem to have reached an end. We have come to the jumping-off place—to leap into the unkown and to face the Future. That Future, we shall meet with confidence, knowing that our training received here will serve us well in whatever we may undertake. May our names reflect credit on Central which has been our home during this very significant period of our lives. So, we, the students of today, the citizens of tomorrow, look with pride to the fact that “you are our school, Central. We shall never forget you;’’ —JOHN GEDDES. 11
