the 'Review HE twenty-third volurgggof the Review will be finished this june. It is with rather mixed feelings that we of the staff regard the completion of our work. We are glad that our task has been brought to a successful close, yet we leave the familiar and enjoyable work with a certain reluctance. It is true that a large amount of labor is connected with the publication of the RL'T'ZiL ZU,' but there is also the pleasure of creating. The staff has done its share well and ably, and the editor wishes to thank them here for the support he has received from them. The business and publishing end of the Rezfzxw is rarely mentioned. The Print Shop, under the leadership of Mr. Lawrence, has certainlv labored hard and faithfully to get the magazine out. The business staff, under the direction of Mr. Mil- ler as adviser, and William Hipkins as Business Manager, has done very able work indeed, first in procuring the advertisements, and then in managing the commercial end of the enterprise in such a way as to make the Rezfiew a financial success. The RK7'Z.L'7U staff, also, takes this opportunity to express its appreciation of Miss Murray's leadership, and to thank the Whole school, and particularly the Senior class, for the backing which the Review has received from the students. The year has drawn to a close. Next autumn a new staff will occupy the Review office, and a new staff will be taking up the work which we are just laying down. To them we give our best wishes for success. JAMES ALFRED LEROY. r Che Central 'Bulletin NDER the able and helpful direction of Miss Murray, and with the earnest support of the whole school, The Cenlml Bulletin has come successfully through its second year of existence. On account of the delay due to the influenza, the first issue of the Bullelin did not appear until December 13, 1918. It was decided to dedicate the issue of February 12, 1919, to the February graduates, and, in order to do them greater honor, the size of the paper was just doubled. After that issue, the former size then looked so very insignificant, that it was decided to continue with the large size. The increase in size meant an increase in the work, which has been faithfully and loyally shared by Ruth Kotinsky and Ruth Baker, the Associate Editors. Don't You Love It? is Miss Kotinsky's own, and with Frank Sartwell she originated and has edited the See and Say columns. Miss Baker has fearlessly steered the Hall of Fame along its tortuous way of modest objections. Roscoe Conklin has always been on the job with his breezy sport news, and when Jimmie Berryman gets to be a great cartoonist, like his daddy, we can say, We started him! The reporters, whose number has been steadily increasing,have proved themselves invaluable, even if some of them do have diabolical handwriting. Mr. Miller, with William Hipkins and Earl Hillman, and their assistants, have ably superintended the business and circulation end of the paper. We have written and typed and reported and edited and proofread and rushed and hurried and worried far into the night and early in the morning, but how we have enjoyed it! The experience has been a happy one, but there are no regrets as we leave the little paper in the hands of its next editor, to whom we extend the heartiest good wishes. LOUISE ESPEY. 29

l'3llI3fiCS HE Dramatic Association, one of the most cherished of Central's institutions, is closing a year of accomplishment. We have studied to portray life and to portray it not merely for theatrical effect. An old Centralite, when speaking to us this winter, said that he had discovered in army life that the drama is the meeting ground of two great impulses which actuate human life: the impulse of work and the impulse of play. We have all experienced this year the fun of working at a play. So much enthusiastic work has been done on scenes that our honor-roll this year bears the name of nearly every member. Sorrow, as well as joy, has come to us for one of our dearest associates, David Hanway, died in the autumn. He played the role of PercyU in Captain Lettablair and was beloved as a member of our organization. r Un class night in February, The Importance of Being Earnest was presented by members of the Dramatic Association for the Senior class. Madeline O'Brien and Hugh Montgomery won great praise by their skillful portrayal of the leading roles, and they were excellently supported by the other members of the cast. In March a short program was given in chapel. The Courtship of Henry V and Katherine was presented by Marion Trabue, Mary Vaccaro and Edwin Trusheimg Hamlet's Address to the Players by Francis Thorneg and a recitation by Mary Barr. Quality Street, Barrie's charming comedy, has been chosen for our spring play. Marion Trabue and Hugh Montgomery will appear, supported by the faithful players of the Dramatic Association. 30
