The lives we lead today and the lives that wc shall lead tomorrow will undoubtedly be entirely different, but each is or will be influenced strongly by those two closely united fields—science and inventions. Without either wc would still be living in an age of darkness, inefficiency, and discom-fort. Did it ever occur to you what would happen if by some manner, all sources of elec-tricity were suddeny cut off? Picture New York City, dark and gloomy, with no telephone, telegraph, or wireless communication, no subways nor trains in operation. Automobiles and airplanes unable to move, the manufacture of clothing and other necessary articles at a stand-still. The preparation and purification of food would cease, as well as the transportation of food into the city. The great cities of our country would be desolate and deserted in one month if the supply of electricity should be cut off. In our homes electricity plays a large part that is almost entirely unnoticed by us. We push a button to turn on the lights and think nothing of the work and other elements that make it possible for us to have this convenience. No, not convenience. Nowadays electric lights are not a convenience, they are an absolute necessity. Perhaps you can remember the last stormy night when the electric power had to be shut off? Do you remember the feeble glow of the candles that you took off the mantle-piece? And the comfortable feeling that followed when the lights came back on? Then you probably appreciated this god-send, electricity. Electricity, however, is not the only positive necessity. There are hundreds of things that arc equally important and equally unnoticed or unappreciated by us. Of course, there is very little chance of our losing these necessities, particularly those that do not depend on the natural resources of the country. The important thing to remember is that, though we do not think of these necessities as we use them, there is nevertheless, a great demand for men who can supply the technical knowledge necessary to continue this service to the world. m m Therefore, in obedience to the immutable law of supply and demand, a large number of this class is preparing and has been preparing for work along these lines. Others are also obeying the law and are about to enter the field of business, starting perhaps as stenographers or bookkeepers. But, no matter what professions are chosen, you may feel certain that we, the members of this class, have by now made up our minds to do our best and thereby gain the benefits of the education for which wc have worked so hard. We leave this school to test our strength. Wc do assure you that we will do our best and that we hope to make Central proud of the members of the January class of 1929. EDWARD KOCH P3 msmm Pig' 41 Page 42 HH JANUARY CLASS HISTORY Our flight begun in September, 1926, and ended on January 25, 1929, has been a very pleasurable one and although we are glad to have reached our destination, we regret that our journey is ended. We, the travelers, met at Central Airport on February, 1926. After almost a year of preliminary instruction in Aeronautics, we took off from Sophomore Field in November, 1926, with the following officers at the controls: President, Frederick Fcnske: vice- president, Paul Belknap; secretary, Dorothy Eickemeycr; treasurer, Donald McCausland; and sergeant-at-arms, Donald McDonald. During the first stage of our journey, we confined ourselves strictly to business, leaving out all social activities. Lyle Reinhardt and Hoyt Reagan represented us at the Older Boys' Conference at Jackson. At the Girl Reserve Convention in Bay City we were represented by Margaret Berry. Mabel Halpm, Lelah Nemode, Virginia Jennings, and Eren Learman. In due time we completed the first part of our travels and arrived at Port of Juniors in June, 1927. Before resuming our flight in September, 1927, we elected new officers to command our airplane. These were: President. Lyle Higgs: vice-president, Eren Learman; secre- tary, Jane Beckett: treasurer, Paul Belknap. Miss Krause and Mr. L. L. 'f cakey were chosen honorary members. The second stage of our journey was uneventful. We gave up having a Junior play for the sake of the all-school play. We had neither Junior Hop nor any Junior Class parties. In fact, our plane became lost in the fog of Indifference, and very narrowly escaped falling into the Gulf of Oblivion. However, a few faithful members of the crew kept the ship in the air, and we landed safely at Senior Port, early in June, 1928. Here our crew divided, as some wished to complete their voyage through Senior Land by January 24, 1929. Others of the class preferred to travel slower and gain more information in the art of flying before leaving Central in June. There were forty-nine of us who wished to travel faster. The officers who were chosen to pilot us were: President, Homer Moore; vice-president, Annie Birrell; secretary, Maureen Fitch: treasurer, John Hittel, and sergeant-at-arms, Theodore Bohn. As honorary members. Miss Julia Beese and Miss Alice Howe, were excellent advisors. We owe the successful completion of our travels to their help and good advice. The last stage of our journey was the most eventful and delightful of all. Our Senior Class party. Senior Prom. Senior Breakfast, and Swing-Out Assembly made up for the lack of social events in former years. We were represented at the Older Boys' Conference at Flint by Hugo Schmidt. Since it was impossible to divide the money in the treasury evenly between the two Senior classes, we left our share with the June class to be put with theirs toward a present for Central High School. Now we have come to our journey’s end. With the experience, education, and discipline we have gained in our travels through Central, we feel fully prepared to set out on our greater journey into the world. We hope that this longer journey will be as pleasant as the one just finished. HUM Ptge 4J JANUARY CLASS WILL SENIORS GIVE OF THEIR GOODS TO UNDER GRADS Wc, the January class of 1929, having gathered in a last solemn conclave, being sound in mind and bodv, generous in spirit, and kind in heart, do subscribe to this document for the purpose of bequeathing our joint and personal property to the various members of this school. We leave, therefore, our joint property in this fashion: We render to the June Class our much crippled senior privileges, hoping that they will enable the seniors to allow themselves another blissful hour in bed each morning after the night before. What greater gift can man bestow With the modesty inherent in our class we leave our scholarly attainments as a model for future senior classes. Of course no other class will ever reach the standard wc have set, but it is well to try. To the student body as a whole we leave the following warning: it is well to begin locking your lockers. M. Keen and Mr. Omans arc getting near the danger point: something drastic may happen. These two collaborators arc quite capable of causing disturbance among your ranks. To the freshman class, if such a thing docs exist, we leave these cheering words: We, too, strange as it may seem, were once mere freshmen, but look at us now!!! To the Juniors wc leave our heartfelt thanks for the courtesy shown us by that class. May every class be as generous as the Juniors. We wish you luck. Juniors. To the sophomores we leave our marvelous class spirit, the greatness of which has never been excelled or equalled. We bequeath our now empty lockers to Mr. Omans, feeling full assured that they will be treated with due reverence as monuments to this great class. To Miss Bcese we leave supreme peace—until the 12B class returns to Room 22 V To Miss Howe wc leave assurance that we arc at least able to give the formula for water HOH or H20. That is about all we know of the intricacies of chemistry. To Mr. Keen wc can leave nothing, we have given everything away. OH! WAIT! We leave you, Mr. Keen, a few days of rest from hall duty. Now, having disposed of our possessions in this seemly manner, wc proceed to individual and personal property. We, members of the February class of 1929, do hereby bequeath, endow, render, leave, and bestow our property thusly:— I, Homer Moore, am unable to will my presidential dignity to Gus Rechlin, having lost it conducting the senior class meetings. I, Maureen Fitch, leave nothing but sighs among the members of Zc old home plate gang, since I am the first to break away from that select circle. I, Ray Laboda, do endow Bay City Central High School with the various parts of my collegiate ‘Chcvvic which have been lost while driving said vehicle to and from school.

JUNE CLASS HISTORY We, the present Seniors, started on our pilgrimage from the Doomed City to the Celestial City in 1927. Although we were fully aware of the difficulties to be surmounted, we set forth with stout hearts. To help us overcome the many temptations which beset us on our way we chose: President, Frederic Fenske: vice-president, Paul Belknap; secretary, Dorothy Eickemeyer; treasurer, Donald McCausland; sergeant-at-arms, Donald McDonald. As we were just starting, we had but little time for pleasure and confined ourselves to the straight and narrow path of business. We sent representatives to the Older Boys' Conference in Jackson and representatives to the Girl Reserve Convention in Bay City. Thus we traversed a third of our journey. We resumed our pilgrimage in 1928 under the leadership of: President, Lyle Higgs; vice-president, Eren Learman: secretary, Jane Beckett; treasurer, Paul Belknap; sergeant-at-arms, Fred Clohset. To point the route to us more clearly we invited Miss Krause and Mr. Yeakey to be our advisors. During this part of our journey the obstacles which lay in our way were almost too great to be successfully met, but under the able guidance of our sponsors, the path became less rough. Adding to the discouragements, at the end of the year, our band was divided at Vanity Fair, those ahead preceding us to the Celestial City. For the last stage of our dangerous journey we were guided by: President, Gustav Rechlin: vice-president, Charlotte Gaffney; secretary, Virginia Jennings; treasurer, Josephine Williston: sergeant-at-arms, Gerald Holmes. To brighten the long and solemn march we gave a Get-Acquainted-Party. This proved a very successful affair. As we needed money to continue our pilgrimage, we sold candy at the basketball games and gave dances after two of the games. Being good pilgrims, we wished to help others, and we decided on an assembly in the form of vaudeville acts. The serious business of presenting a Senior Play next confronted us. We selected The Lottery Man and a highly entertaining comedy it proved to be. We closed our pilgrimage by giving a Senior Prom which afforded everyone an interesting and diverting evening. A little sorry that the journey is ended, we. the Seniors of 1929, have completed our pilgrimage and have entered the gates of the Celestial City. By VIRGINIA JENNINGS.

R. Evans, reorganized in September with a large number of new members to fill the vacancies made through graduation. Early in the year, the following officers were elected: President—Scott Felmlee. Vice-President—Don Donnelly. Secretary-—Valerian Wisniewski. Drum Major- Mike Arhutick. The band gave a concert in November, 1928, in which they displayed their new uniforms for the first time and sponsored an All-School Band Reunion for the first time. It played at all the football and basketball games throughout the season and contributed a liberal share of the music for assemblies this year. The Band participated in the Music Revue and gave several parties to help defray the expenses of the trip to the State Contest at Lansing, where it made a good showing, even if it did not place. Our school is proud of this group. Pi! P gt 77 ORCHESTRA Central's Orchestra consists of fifty members and meets five times a week as a part of our regular school curriculum. The instruments include a harp, violins, brass and wood-winds. The players often get no other training on the instruments save the class instructions and practice each day and become very proficient in their instruments. Our orchestra has entertained at nearly all the assemblies, plays and entertainments given in school this year and also many public dinners, and functions outside of school. The orchestra attended the State Contest in Lansing this year. Page 78 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Evans has been very active this year. The Girls' Glee Club sang in a spring concert at the First Presbyterian Church and played an important part in the Music Revue which was given this spring to help raise funds for the trip to Lansing. Besides this the girls appeared before several private organizations and clubs in concerts. They entered the State Contest but did not place this year. h The Boys' Glee Club has done better work this year than ever before. They participated in the Music Revue and in the concert at the First Presbyterian Church. They also gave active support to the band dances and helped them to be a success. The Boys' Glee Club won third place in the State Contest at Lansing. We arc proud of their success and wish them more in the future. Page 80 The Mixed Chorus is made up of the combined Glee Clubs—Boys and Girls They appeared in the many concerts sponsored by the Music Department and played an important part in the Music Revue and the Musical Assembly given in April. They appeared in the State Contest this year. Page tl The football season of 1928 will long be remembered as the mos successful in the history of Central High. Going w.thout defeat or tie through a ditf cult schedule of eleven games, the Purple and Gold stalwarts established unquestionably their claim to the state champonship along with that of Muskegon, the only other undefeated team in Michigan. Chief Nevitt developed an irresistible attack, which ran up a total of 302 points, and combined it with an impenetrable forward wall to produce the first state champions coming from Central. After a month of intensive practice. Central opened the season against a fighting but hopelessly outclassed eleven from Cass City. After the first few plays the only doubt was as to the s ze of the final score. Seven touch-downs and four points from place-kicks sum up the scoring efforts of our boys In a game more thrilling than a score of 32-6 would indicate, the state champions-to-be took the measure of Caro High School's representatives. Throughout the contest, however. Caro's fast and shifty hackfield gave Central's forward wall plenty of trouble. The victory was earned, for Caro fought pluckily until the end. Central’s hopefuls were given a busy afternoon at Lansing by Eastern's powerful team For three periods the two rivals were dead-locked. Late in the game, when a scoreless tic seemed inevitable, Halstead intercepted a Lans'ng pass and scampered seventy yards over a clear field for our only score. Except for this lucky break. Muskegon would have had an uncontcsted claim for state honors. Page 82 The Wolves won their first valley game at Flint from Northern. The future valley champs displayed a powerful attack in pushing across three touchdowns, but they were unable to hold their opponents scoreless. The victory, however, was as decisive as the 18-6 score indicates. The tilt with Sebewaing proved a surprise to Central's rooters. Sebewaing scored on the first play of the game, catching the local backfield napping with a long pass. Whereupon the Purple and Gold awoke. Struble, with five touch-downs, was high scorer in the 92-6 victory. Saginaw Eastern did its best to provide some opposition to Central’s fast-traveling eleven, but the Nevittmen could not be denied their customary victory. As Pett took good care of Petoskey, all-state end, Saginaw was left without resource. Two long marches down the field ended in touch-downs for the local, and a pass by Pett accounted for the third. The 18-0 score was a true measure of our superiority. Central played its third valley opponent, Arthur Hill, at Saginaw. Arthur Hill displayed a fighting defense, but only penalties stopped Bay City's smashing backfield. After Central had twice missed scores for this reason, Pett finally crashed over the final marker for our only counter. Throughout the game, however, the Wolves outplayed their opponents by a greater margin than 6-0 shows. Mt. Clemens, always at its best against Bay City, brought north a great forward wall, but a weak backfield. Jerry's right to an All-State backfield post was even more firmly established when after intercepting a pass seventy-five yards through the entire down-state eleven for his third score of the day. Central's aerial attack was at its best in this 20-0 victory. The Bay City team ran true to form in defeating Port Huron, 2?-0. The ankle-deep mud, although it made passing almost impossible, hampered Central's running attack but little. The Nevittmen were hosts to an undefeated team from Flint Central in the sixth annual game between the two rivals. The stadium was full for the first time as the Purple and Gold swept triumphantly over a muddy field to another valley championship. This triumph evens the series between Flint and the locals at three apiece. A victory over Highland Park, champions of the city of Detroit, ended a triumphant season for Central. When the final pistol barked, the Purple and Gold were champions of the High Schools of Michigan. The Nevittmen, although essentially a perfectly co-ordinated machine, and not one built around an outstanding performer, was not without representatives on the various all-state eleven. Jones at half-back, Pett at end, and Clohset at tackle, were named on several of the first teams. James Fiske, a tackle, was given honorable mention. The locals ran up the highest score of any team in the state. 502 points were made in eleven games, while the oppositions were held to 21 points. Glenn Struble was the high scorer of the local eleven. The final standing in tthe Saginaw Valley league was: Won. Lost. Pet. Bay City ................................................. 4 0 1.000 Flint Central ............................................ 2 2 TOO Flint Northern ...........................-............... 1 1 TOO Arthur Hill .............................................. 1 2 .555 Saginaw Eastern ...............................-.......... 0 5 .000 In one respect the 1929 edition of football stalwarts was extraordinary. Entire games, on the muddiest of fields, were played through without a fumble. Bay City's line-smashing seemed to thrive in mud: passes, often resulting in scores, were completed in spite of the handicap of a slippery ball: and Jones seldom failed to get away a long punt, no matter the dampness of the field. The state champions of 1928 were veritable “mud-hens. Coach Nevitt reports unusual prospects for 1929. Ten letter men, including a complete backfield, will return With Pett. Fiske, Blaizc, Reer, Manning and Hewitt on the line, and Captain Jones, Westover, Halsted and Baker in the backfield, a formidable eleven is promised. BASKETBALL The 1929 basketball season was one of ups and downs. The Purple and Gold got away to a fine start by grabbing the lead in the Valley league with three victories. The loss of several regulars at the end of the semester, combined with a good deal of poor luck, proved disastrous, for Central lost seven of the remaining ten games on its schedule by close scores. At the end of the season, however, our capable cagers redeemed themselves by winning the regional tournament. Two practice games away from home opened the season. Although weakened by the flu, the regulars outplayed a lanky five at Petoskey. The Centralites displayed a strong defense and a fast passing attack, but their shooting beneath the basket was woefully inaccurate. 8-11 was the final count. In the second, the homesters encountered little trouble in overcoming Cass City, 32-10. Arthur Hill provided the opposition in the first game on the home floor. After their aggregation of six-footers had put up a stiff fight in the first half, holding our boys to a two point lead, the Hillites’ attack slowed down, and their defense cracked. During the second half Central ran wild, and at the final gun we were on the long end of a 25-12 score. In the preliminary. Central's second stringers suffered their only defeat of the season, 17-20. The following evening Central treked south to meet Flint Northern. The Ncvitt-men jumped to an early lead, which they held throughout the game. The Eskimos, however, were never far behind, and their sharp-shooting forwards gave Central plenty of scares. The 20-18 victory, although earned, was too close for comfort. Page 84 Central lost to her next opponents, the huskies from Lansing s new high school, Lansing Eastern. The fast and lanky Lansing outfit, bent upon avenging the defeat received on the gridiron last fall, was absolutely unbeatable. They overcame a poor start and jumped to a good lead in the first half. The Purple and Gold warriors fought desperately, resorting to every stratagem, but Lansing's fast-breaking attack matched point with point. Central tried three shots to her opponent's one, but her attempts were buried, and for the most part of no avail. Late in the game the locals reduced their opponent's advantage to a single point, but a last-minute scoring splurge sunk our hopes. The final score of 25-19 was a fair indication of Lansing's superiority. Central’s third valley victory was over Saginaw Eastern, previously undefeated. The locals were outrcached by the opposition, as usual, but made up with speed what they lacked in sue. They collected an early lead, which they added to as the game progressed. Jones and Ross were high scorers in the 25-19 fray. The Nevittmen entered their first game of the new semester somewhat disorganized. Struble, a regular guard, left school, and Pett and Halsted were lost through ineligibility. Nevertheless they gave Flint Central a hard fight. Except for a disastrous first quarter, the Purple and Gold outplayed its ancient rival. A foul shot, Flint's only point in the last quarter, proved the margin of our defeat. This tight defensive battle, ending at 1-4-13, was the first of a series of hard-luck defeats. Central bowed to Jackson (state champions and semi-finalists in the national tournament), in an unexciting defensive battle. Both teams were off form, and neither flashed much of an attack. After making an even worse start than in previous contests, the Nevittmen were on the wrong end of a 3-5 score at the end of the third quarter. Five points in the last period, however, saved them from an overwhelming defeat. Jagnow, later chosen as center on the second All-American quintet, was the star of the game with eight points. The return game with Flint Northern was a repetition of our earlier victory. Central led all the way, although by a very slim margin at times. A fourth quarter rally, by the Eskimos caused some apprehension, but Central came out on the better side of the 18-16 argument. Lansing Central visited the home floor long enough to hand the locals an 11-10 defeat. Both teams displayed strong defenses which seemed impregnable at times, but Bay City out-passed the Big Red team. A slow start, combined with the customary wildness in shooting, lost the game for the Purple and Gold. Arthur Hill was out for blood in her second game with Bay City, and got it to the tune of 26-17. For a while, however, the Centralites seemed in a fair way to retain their lead in the valley, past performances of the Wolves were due for their customary third period scoring splurge. But the Hillites, led by the lanky Knipple, started a rally of their own, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away. Bay City had a secure hold on second place. A formidable Battle Creek quintet administered the now customary defeat, the fifth in six games, by a score of 23-20. After allowing the Crickets an early lead. Bay City began an uphill fight. The locals trailed by three points at the half, and led by one at the end of the third quarter. But Battle Greek, aroused to action, put the game on ice with a scoring splurge of three baskets. Central's capable yet unlucky basketeers continued their string of losses in a nerve-racking battle with Saginaw Eastern. The game was closely contested throughout, with tie scores at the ends of the first three periods. With a minute to play, and Central leading 10-9, Saginaw caged a lucky shot, which gave her victory. Central's cagers found Ann Arbor’s small gym to their liking, and surprised everyone except themselves by winning. 16-12 was the extent of our first victory in five struggles. Bay City returned Battle Creek's earlier visit and paid its compliments in much the same manner as the Crickets had done. Three Battle Creek regulars were on the bench when the game started, but they entered the game when the Wolves ran up a lead of 10-2 in the first quarter. The downstatcrs managed to collect a field goal in each of the four periods, while Jones, Ross and Westover were running circles around their bewildered opponents. The final score was 26-8. Flint Central closed the regular season in much the same way it entertained the Wolves a few weeks previous. It was the same, old story. Bay City, outrcached, fought hard with its five man defense. At the same time the Ncvittmen had all sorts of shots, hut missed most of them. On the other hand, Flint's sharpshooters scored on many long, seemingly impossible shots from mid-floor. 16-15 was the result. At the district tournament the homesters did something which they had failed to accomplish before. Saginaw and Flint were beaten! Against Saginaw, the local's defense held good, while Jones and Ross shot the baskets. The score of 14-12, however, does not indicate the superiority of our five, because Purple-clad players missed many easy shots. Bay City played like the champions they are in defeating Flint Central, 21-15 Again Ross was the outstanding player on the floor, making 15 points. The Purple and Gold gathered ten field goals, while holding their ancient rivals to three. Such victories as these atone for all the reverses suffered during the 1929 season. Attending the state tournament for the first time in years. Central was eliminated in the first round by Lansing Eastern. The game was a close one throughout, marked by the stubborn defense of both teams. Lansing could not score a field goal till the end of the third quarter, but kept pace by virtue of foul shots. The Nevittmen made four field goals to their opponents three, but lost on foul shots; their excessive roughness gave Lansing 18 tries from the foul line, of which eight were made. The score of 14-11 was surely disappointing, but indicates a good battle against a superior quintet. On the whole, the season of 1929 may be considered successful. Ordinarily, nine victories in 19 games is nothing to boast about, but when certain ones of these win the championship of the Saginaw Valley, and when four games were lost by a margin of one point and a fifth by three points to Jackson, which was to later win the state championship and place fourth in the national tournament, the record assumes greater significance. The record of the Reserves must not be sneezed at nine victories and one defeat, and the unofficial valley championship. With such material for next year, a fine season is in prospect.

COUNCIL OF THIRTY To begin the activities of the year, eight neophytes (all of whom survived) were initiated on October 19. On October 25, the Council of Thirty won a football game played against the C. S. L. Later in the season two more games were held, both of which were lost, one to the C. S. L., and the other to an Essexville team. A member was chosen to attend the Older Boys' Conference at Flint as a delegate from the Council of Thirty. The Council of Thirty pledged and paid $11.00 toward the improvement of the stadium. In January, one of the most successful assemblies of the year was put on by the Council of Thirty. In February the second joint Council of Thirty—C. S. L. party was given, at which the Council of Thirty won a basket ball game from its close rival, adding to the success of the party. Two debates were held in April, which were both lost to the C. S. L. On May 24, the Council of Thirty overwhelmingly defeated the C. S. L. in a play-ground ball game. On May 31 the initiation of a number of neophytes will mark the end of the activities of one of the Council of Thirty's most successful years in the twenty-six years of its existence.

Pressing ever onward through the difficulties on their path, these pilgrims persevered, until the Class of 1929, a hand now more than two hundred strong, has at last assembled before you. The time is now arrived when the Class reviews the incidents on its three years’ journey, and finding itself deeply indebted to a large number of people wishes to acknowledge publicly its sincere gratitude and appreciation. To our parents, we owe our first thanks. As our parents, they have given us the aid of their sympathetic encouragement; they have always been ready to help us over the critical places with judicious words of praise and blame. As taxpayers of this city, they have helped us in a more material way. When we look around us at this fine, well-constructed school, we realize we have been privileged to study here because our parents gave their generous financial support. The interested feeling of the whole community towards us, as students of Central, has been no mean factor in helping us over the hills to this high road with its broad views of the world. The school board is the deserving recipient of the gratitude we feel for invaluable services it has rendered to us. We feel it has always served us generously. The school organization itself has given us the most direct help. Under the able management of our principal and his assistant we have made our three years' journey uninterrupted by any great change in programs. It is because of their capable and efficient guidance that today we are able to appear before you as graduates of one of the finest schools in the United States. Realizing the difficulties of managing so large a school we have tried to show our appreciation to Mr. Keen and Mr. Omans by our sincere co-operation. The principal and his assistant, however, have helped us as a part of the whole school, and it is to Miss Krause and Mr. Yeakey, our Honorary Members, that we owe thanks for guiding and advising us as a class. They have given much of their valuable time to help us around the pitfalls in our path. Under their hands we have changed from a disorganized, disinterested group into a well organized class with many interests to unite us. All the people mentioned thus far have given us real aid, but for the help which has enabled us to make long strides on the road of learning, we turn to the faculty. Had they not so well and wisely taught us, we would not be the large and happy band we are today. They have always been ready to act as our intellectual and spiritual guides in all activities. Helping us in the class room and outside of it, giving us freely of their best, we feel the debt we owe to our teachers is greater than ever can be paid in full. There have been many bonds to unite the Class of 1929 with the succeeding classes of Central, and with the time of parting so near, we realize how much these classes have contributed to our pleasures. Their good will towards us will always be a bright spot in our memories. We do not wish to leave without expressing our appreciation for the splendid library we have used these several years. To those of us who wished to avail themselves of it, these fine books have been “guiding lights” on the path of learning. Now the class feels that it must bid farewell to all its friends and benefactors. The pilgrims have come to the end of their three years' journey, and the faithful band must disperse to set forth separately. So we, the Class of 1929, looking regretfully toward the happy past and hopefully toward the misty future, must at last say: “Te salutamus.’’ MURIEL McCANDLESS. mm 'MM- Page 106 OUT AT CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL (With Apologies to James Witcomb Riley.) Wasn't it pleasant, dear friend of mine. In those old days of Central School-time, Of youth, when the morrows' studies were through, And the English themes rewritten, too. And we were students me and you, Out at Central High School? It’ll all come back so clear some day, When you are old and I am grey— Out by the school-grounds near the main, We linger down the walk again As free as the drops of the falling rain, Out at Central High School? We cross the campus as students would Where there an aged elm-tree stood, Where cars were passing to and fro. And the flag waved in the clearing sky. And wreathed and fluttered as we went by Out at Central High School? And then in the heat of the class-room again. The struggles we met, the wisdom to gain: The weekly assemblies to shorten the day Where no thoughts of school-work could make it less gay; Our cares behind and our hearts ahead. Out at Central High School? I shall never forget dear old Central High, Where the tower we sighted to welcome us nigh. And the interesting classes—and the studies—ah me! Wasn’t it good for a student to see— And wasn't it good for a student to be Out at Central High School? V. EICHHORN. m Page 107 THE PIED PIPER OF CENTRAL Now list to the words of my story And lilt to the tune of my song. Give to each setting its glory And follow me tho 1 am wrong. I rest in the quiet of even When lessons and labors are o'er. And think of the noisy tomorrow That breezes in every door. As the hour of eight approaches I rouse from reveries untold. And poise for the duty before me. Is to call every one to the fold. Of this work-a-day world in Central Where pleasures are tempered with fears. Those who get by and not even try May often be found in arrears. But the needs of mortals are many And the prime one is always to eat. Then books give away an hour each day When the Piper sounds out a retreat. At the second call from the Piper The doors swing back with a vim. The halls are filled with a hungry host. And the air is a perfect dm. They walk, they run, they crowd and push In spite of a warning hand. Their only thought is to reach a place And not at the end to stand. That line is long, and it reaches far “Now await your turn, they say And the fragrant smells that fill the air. Make you hum a madman's lay. For already you've chosen a menu From all the good things to cat. And grasping a tray with nonchalence gay. You nearly fall over your feet. For gliding on past you like shadows Come figures both graceful and bold. That smilingly greet while they cheat you. Of places you rightfully hold. Now hunger no longer haunts you And anger gives place to pain. When you think of the wasted minutes. That can never return again. 'Tis again the same old story. The longing that must be appeased. With the drama enacted before us, 'Till the call of the Piper has ceased.

For these years and months and days Will come to fill the past. As we all set sail on the ship of fate With hope before the mast. To ports unknown with purpose grim, Each wending his separate way. To dock at the portals of Enterprise, The tomorrows of yesterday. Each thought and word and deed, the way Will kindle a pleasant thought Of the youthful joy we once realized In the pleasures that Central wrought. Though we see the future through eyes of youth With happiness down through the years. We may long for the past, we may find it true That time can bring sorrow and tears. And in saying farewell to Central High There are tears just behind our smiles. Though the future looks bright and the sea is calm. We are wont to depart from our trials. So when tomorrow has come and the span of life Has gathered success on its way. May we one and all ever give a toast To Central and Yesterday. M E.
