Valedicto-tuf, .—. = ' r HEN we, as trembling youngsters, first converged upon this venerated struc¬ ture, graduation seemed to us a nebulous event of the far distant future. Its current arrival is all too real. Our sojourn here has been more than a mere three or four years spent in attempting, with carying success, to solve the mysteries of chemical equations, trigonometry identities or Latin prose. We have been drawn to¬ gether by a common feeling of elation when our teams were victorious or of deflation if they were not. New experiences have con¬ fronted us but it took us only a short time to discover that our school has an uncanny skill for producing a friend in any need. We are all proud to claim Central as our alma mater even though, I daresay, there are any number of us who have vowed, that on accumulation of their first million, they would donate a new heating and insulating system, not to mention a fume-proof chem. lab., to the school.

Traditionally, each graduating class leaves school with the belief that it is exceptional. We are no different. In modern times such a belief does no one any harm for it requires considerable courage and confidence to face the future in our unsettled and challenging world. Soon we will be biddng farewell to the school days of our youth and our ways will become widely separated as we go forth into fields of business or on to institutions of higher learning. Yet, whatever the future may hold for us, let us hope that each in his or her own way will try to make ours a better world in which to live by carrying into it the Central High motto, “Lux Sit”, “Let There Be Light”, and by remembering that— (Continued on Page 46) 10
