Clasft ihatorp History, so learned men tell us, is divided into two classes, Sacred and Profane. When I first began to consider our history, I was at a loss to know how to classify it. No one would call it Sacred, and we would be loath to call it Profane, so I came to the conclusion, in spite of the learned men, that history was divided into three parts and that Class History constituted the third division. It seems but a few months instead of four years ago that we began the making of this history. We entered in September, 1904, five hundred and seventy-six in number. There were several unique features about our class, aside from the regular green tint which they say all freshmen have. First, we were one of the largest, if not the largest class that had, up to that time, entered Central. Then, we were the first Freshman class to derive the many benefits of the new gymnasium and auditorium. And lastly we entered and are departing during leap years and years of Presidential elections. . Just what we did in that first year, aside from the studying in which we so deeply indulged, has grown rather dim in the busy rush of the later years. We do remember, however, the bitter defeat our freshman team received from the haughty sophomores. In the second year, things began to look a little brighter for us, although our ranks were considerably depleted by some who had left school and others who had decided during the summer to take a five-year course. In the inter-class football game we easily defeated the freshmen, and thought we were well avenged. It was in the latter part of this year that the school first began to notice us. We had our share of members on the football, basket ball and track teams, who did very creditable work. At the same time the different clubs of the school were on the lookout for desirable members and those sophomores who were fortunate, were given a deeper conception of the word initiation. As Juniors we took on a new dignity but at the same time rather lost our identity. We could no longer so ostentatiously lord it over the under classmen, and, as for being ourselves persecuted, the Seniors were too much engrossed in their own affairs to notice us. However, the year was spent very profitably and enjoyably, and to the credit of the class. One of our members took the second prize in the Leader oratorical contest, even though we were not represented on Central’s team in outside debates. Also the Juniors took the initiative in founding the new club of the year, the Faraday Club. At last, we were all detained in the auditorium one Friday, and Mr. Harris told us that it was time for us to organize. Oh, the importance of that organization and what weighty business wc discussed in our meetings! Also, we made many plans for dances which did not materialize, and instead, many of the Juniors found their way to the Senior party in May. When, finally, the year closed, it was with many happy memories and hopeful expectations that we looked forward to returning the next year. Derby hats, lengthened skirts and a faraway, preoccupied air, marked the new Seniors in the fall of 1907. At last we had come to our own, had reached the goal so long anticipated. Here we met the bug bears so often described to us by former Seniors, the senior themes, and Rhetoricals, but we found them not as bad as painted. The Senior year was the shortest year of all, so full was it crowded with work and pleasures. Hardly were we well started when the holiday season was upon us with its many festivities, also the mid-year exams. Uur Christmas party was the event of the year; il was unusually successful. There have been two afternoon class informals held since then besides numerous inter club dances. Three new clubs have been founded this year by members of the Senior class, with help from the Juniors, the Civics, Commercial and Art Clubs. Altogether, we feel that our class has left its mark in the school and a record of which we may justly be proud. After four years of pleasure and labor togethmer, we are to be separated; a few more days,—then Commencement and the final dissolution. After that what? Who knows? Joseph P. Connolly, ’o8.
