Page Nineteen May 19, 1908. To the Advertisers and Patrons of the Central High School Monthly: During the past two years, covering my connection with the Monthly Board, we have endeavored to publish a magazine satisfying the tastes and the desires of its patrons. Whatever success we may have attained is due, first, to the good support given by the advertisers which aided greatly in supplying the necessary funds. To them I extend my sincere thanks for their assistance, without which it would be almost impossible to publish a magazine such as ours. Thanks is also due the patrons and writers who have aided us greatly. To all these I feel greatly indebted for assisting me while serving the Monthly Board. Most respectfully yours, Colman Schwarzenberg, Bus. Mgr. Saturday, May 9, the Olympian club planned a delightful excursion into the country for the day and some favored mortals were asked to join them. Preparations went briskly forward and through the day a special meeting was held to decide final details. Every one was wildly enthusiastic. Saturday everything went off beautifully and everyone had such a good time the only trouble being they did not go. The gods and goddesses await the pleasure of the weather. Among the recent school affairs was the dance given by the G. L. S. for the edification of the Glee club, P. D. C. and Shakespeare club. The afternoon was pleasant to everyone even though the program was cut short. The refreshment room seemed especially popular. “Have you seen the Beta Kappa girls this morning?” This question was the prevalent one on the morning of April 29 and those who had seen them did not need to ask why. But alas, for their beautiful red and yellow ribbons ! They were doomed to oblivion for they created too much excitement and Mr. Harris objected. At his objections, O doubt not, the fair wearers were secretly pleased. After several weeks of secret practice during which time our curiosity increased with every day the night, of the Annual Glee Club Concert duly arrived. A little advertisement given at rhetoricals in the morning did not serve to lessen our interest. In the evening we found the stage decorated with palms and gay banners looking its festive best for the

While this number is still on the press, elections will have been held which will determine the board of next year. There will be a new Editor-in-chief chosen and several new members will be elected as assistant editors. The departing board wishes to thank the school for the support they have rendered the Monthly during the current year, and hopes that they may give the same to next year’s board, to whom we offer our best wishes. There will be some disappointment felt by the school when this number is issued, because, in spite of what we have repeatedly said, they have been expecting such a number as was issued last year. Owing to the great cost of such a number, we cannot run the risk of financial failure. However, by printing the Roster, as we have done, we hope that this will prove an acceptable memento of the class in later years.

But it was all good even Sissle’s bow. On Friday, May 8, after many trials and tribulations often attendant on elections, the Junior class succeeded in electing its officers. The results were as follows: Edgar Arnstine, president; Ethel Kennard, vice-president; Winifred McLane, secretary; Raymond Buell, treasurer; Hilda Scothan, assistant treasurer; Dean Crawford, sergeant-at-arms. The executive committee were also chosen: Richard Tage, chairman; Helen Curry and Walter Hass. We were entertained at rhetoricals on the eighth with a selection from Dido in the original Latin, excellently rendered by Miss Florence Dueringer. The translation was first read to us by Miss Sacheroff so that we might have some idea of the meaning of the lines which we could not otherwise have had, for at yet, our ability to translate has not reached very high degree of development. We could, however, well appreciate the swing and music of the poetry which was so well given. A great deal of credit is undoubtedly due to the teacher who drilled Miss Dueringer. The members of the Glee club received this year sweaters similar to those given last year. The sweaters were white with a small red C, and were presented to the following members: Director Reed, Messrs. Sissle, Darrow, Krebs, Hudson, Scher, Morse, O’Connor, Schermer-horn, Hinton, Zdara, Cohen, Clark, Maccul-lough, Mitchener, Swayze, Leonard. If you had been in the vicinity of Room 5 Monday, April 27, you would have seen the remnants of a feast royal of which the basket ball teams of Rooms 21, 3, 5, 37, partook. Rumor dares to assert that there were those there who were not in the strictest sense mem- bers of the aforesaid teams. We doubt this very much and prefer to think either that there are some boys on the teams or else that one of the rooms mentioned has recently, very recently been changed into a boys’ room, a Junior room. The Glee club has had, this year, a season most successful in every way. Last year, when the club was organized, it took some time to bring the material up to the standard of excellence which the director, Mr. Reed, desired to maintain, in order that the organization might be fully capable of upholding the honor of Central in this new field of activity. This year, however, the task proved a much lighter one, inasmuch as several of the old members returned to form a necleus 'round which this year's club has been well builded, and concerts were given as early as November. The engagements were as follows: Hudson, Goodrich House, Lane Memorial, Euclid Heights, Elyria, Euclid Church of Christ, Bolton Presbyterian Church, Pythian Temple, Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, Doan School, Home Concert, Sibley School, and North Ridgeville. It can easily be seen that the club did not lack offers for engagements,—the name of last year’s Glee club was such that dates were readily scheduled. Fare more than expenses have been put into the club’s treasury, and, indeed, in the matter of self-support, it is one of the most successful of the organizations in the school. All in all, we may rightly conclude that the Glee club which has this year well proved its worth, will remain a permanent feature in Central’s wide field of student activities. The Girl’s Glee club, organized this year under the direction of Mrs. Parr, has proved a great success, and there is no doubt but that the work so well begun will be carried on to completion in the future. The fact that the time was ripe for the organization of such a club was shown by the enthusiasm displayed
