We are looking toward the future. And our hearts are filled with joy; For our knowledge gained at Central Hi, Is as gold without alloy. We shall ever face the morrow, With hearts both strong and true; And ever praises loudly sing, Our dear High School of you. Chorus: Farewell, farewell, dear Central, We bid you now adieu; Twenty-eight will ever owe All its laurels to you. We’ve won you many honors, In these three years at school; As we followed close your teachings. And obeyed the golden rule. May we ever feel thy guidance, As we journey on our way, And think with pleasant memories Of our graduation day.

With our high school career completed, we, the graduates, have survived the first great test in the course of life. This sweeping accomplishment has been greatly increased by the final flurry of activities which have become part of the routine of commencement. However, this feeling of satisfaction which always accompanies the accomplishment of some good and difficult deed is only the natural result, for we have taken advantage of the opportunities offered us, and after four years of labor and struggle are entitled to this feeling of satisfaction. During the past high school days we have kept ever before us this goal of self-attainment, and having now reached our prize, we have a sensation of pleasure which never before has been ours to possess. To believe, however, that we reached this end through our efforts only, is a belief not only branding us with the worst of conceit, but is making a statement that no graduate would care to sign his name to. There is not a member of this class who does not know to whom he owes the deepest and most sincere thanks. Although at first thought we might consider only an immediate group, with a deeper look we see many others who have contributed that we might reach the success we have achieved. Our parents, who are also the taxpayers, are the first of whom we think. To them we owe a great deal. With their money and cooperation they have built for us one of the finest institutions of learning that money can produce. They too have supplied us with instruments and material of learning which too often we have not taken the time and effort to show a proper kind of appreciation for. • A ft With only our text and the school, however, how far could we have traveled along the paths of learning without the personal instruction and guidence from our teachers? Beside the knowledge of the books that they have imparted to us. they have instructed us in a course of higher moral and finer ideals which could be found in no text. With this support and encouragement that we have received from our parents, teachers, friends and the community itself, are we thoughtlessly to
