-3 Wishes and Memories By IOHN O'LEARY Oh! what most Seniors would give to he starting school again at Central. How wonderful it was to be able to rush into a class six or seven minutes late, and loudly exclaim in our Finest grammar school Eng- lish without the fear of detention, Miss White, we couldn't Find room 16-A. Those were the happy days, long before algebra, chemistry, or Latin pushed beautiful dreams of walls, electric trains, and our gram- mar school graduation from our heads, re- placing them with hard cold facts. NVe are Seniors, four short years have passed since that memorable day in February, 1936, when we placed ourselves in the hands of the teachers as raw material, not unlike clay. We were to be molded into and trained as the young men and women who had gone before. To be again a freshman would be our fondest desire. During these four years we have progressed at a rapid pace. We came to Central with hardly a thought that was our own. What little knowledge we had was planted fervently in our minds by our gram- , W 1, mar school teacher placed there for the ex- pressed purpose to help us in high school. Remember when we used to sit in our classroom at 1:45 and look out of the opened door with a forlorn look in our eyes as we watched the upper classmen preparing to go home? I-low jovial they seemed as they waited for or ran along with their friends. Yet we seniors wish that we were back to those delightful days. ln the past we have studied and worked hard, so that someday we, too, could be seniors. Work was plentiful, but many good times we also had at school. Tea dances, ball games, junior proms, track meets, club activities and the duties that we have done so joyously and willingly for our school papers and magazines occupied the spare moments of our four year curricula, leaving us many happy memories. Freshmen, it is needless to say that the class of 1940-B wishes and hopes that some day you may take our place in this beloved school and have as much love and respect for Central as we have.
