VVe're proud, I say, of all our senior class, And those whom most we honor mention last. The boys and girls who all of us extol, Are those who've made good scholarship their goalg NVho've packed their store of knowledge firm and deep CA prize which he who wins may keepj g And have, besides all this, enriched their school NVith public honors, which insure its rule. 'Tis good, indeed, that we have worked with such. Far better if ourselves have gained as much. Yet, since in this way all cannot be great, There is another which will compensate. 'Tis to acquire that high nobility Wliicli makes us hail a classmate's victory As something that is gain for everyone. This is the Central Spirit we have sung! Ah! This it is enables us to know That, when from this dear school of ours we go, 'Tis not alone as Central graduates, But citizens of these United States. May all that we shall ever do or be Reflect the teaching, Central, dear, of thee. May guidance which thy faithful teachers gave Still serve to steer our ships on yonder wave. As sailing from this cove, we dare the sea, Still our cry Tenax Propositif' That, when we come again in later years, t'New Central may be proud to shout her cheers, And our loved principal to say once more, Now, sing it as you never sang before.

CHARLES J. SHAW. Class President, 19123 Debating Team, 1911-125 Review Staffg HBRECKYW Staff. Gad, hott' he can talk. When Shaw first arrived at 7th and O Streets he was what is termed a student, with a desk full of books and a head full of brains. He has increased the latter, but the former has entirely disappeared. The above quotation explains how C. I. hypnotizes our beloved faculty to the ex- tent of the necessary F. VVe side with him, how- ever, in this gentle art of bluffing, and are satis- lied that we were not wrong when we made him class president, He has long since been entered in Central's Hall of Fame. ,A fi ANGELA VAN DOREN. Class Secretary, 1912. UA uzerry smile becomes you best. just to see Angela in English class you might think her quiet, but find her at a dance and you will know better. She is a jolly girl. VVe wonder if it is that cunning dimple which makes her the center of attraction to so many girls at lunch time. She has proved herself capable of work in performing so well the duties of secre- tary of the class Angela can also write real poetry, and who knows but what she may some day rival even Milton?
