FOREWORD To the Class of ‘59 It’s an honor, I assure you, that I didn’t quite expect, a Privilege I’m proud of, to begin this Analecta. For principals, vice-principals and other V.I.P.’s Have filled dedication pages; who am l to follow these? They, in prose, recorded here, both praise and fit admonishment Some of it quite sensible; some worthy of astonishment. One well might hesitate to change so worthy an example, But the time has come (the walrus said) on precedent to trample. So I’ve left accepted patterns, for better or for worse, And I’ll write my simple sentiments in very homespun verse. My “thank you” said, I now present best wishes from the staff (Though we may at times seem churlish, it is all on your behalf) May the years to you bring happiness and blessings without number (Including those in class who sat in sweet, untroubled slumber!) As scientists, truck-drivers, pilots, lawyers, doctors, nurses, May you enjoy the work you choose, as well as fill your purses. A bit of well-thought-out advice should close this dissertation Before I say good-bye to you, the fond hope of the nation. Advice I give you, brief and clear, and also plump and plain; Whate’er you undertake to do, do it with might and main; Give it your best, then win or lose, at least you played the game (In winning you will add, I hope, laurels to Central’s fame!) But if you find the going tough, the struggle hard and bitter Keep on - - no one respects at all the constitutional quitter. The final word, in discourse grave, should be a phrase in Latin “Lux Sit” at once suggests itsef - - one must, of course, put that in. To go a little farther, in a school I once attended “Parum claris, lucem dare was the motto, as amended, Which says in rough translation (for non-Latinists and others) “It’s not enough to shine, yourself; throw beams upon your brothers.” That’s all; good bye; good luck to you; and if you will, remember In these few words, there is, of truth, if not a blaze, an ember.
