EDITORIAL. the other three. Our showing in basket oall anti base ball is creditable to the name of Central. In fact, the base ball enthusiasm seems to have affected even our Faculty, who have uubcnded their dignity enough to form a team of their own and to enter the lists with Central’s sons, to uphold her glory. Now the time is approaching for the Annual Track Meet, and every one about school feels confident that we will win laurels in this arena. We feel proud when we think of our Christmas Flay, which was a success financially and otherwise—thanks to the efforts of the societies, the school, and Mr. Dillenbeck. All the Societies joined in taking part in it, much to their own credit and to the satisfaction of the students, who are always glad to see them taking an active interest in school enterprises. The mention of Societies calls to mind our Hall Pro-grains, which are, after all. one of the most enjoyable features of life at Central. The C. L. C.’s. although they wore forced to appear first and without much time for preparation. gave us so inviting a taste of society work that every one was eager for more. When the Philos appea ed two weeks later, their decidedly original and refined pre-grain met with a hearty reception. They were followed by the Aristonians and The Annual will not attempt to judge between them. Suffice it to snv that the laurels for excellent Hall Programs are to be given to the two girls’ societies. The Webster Club acquitted itself creditably n tne entertainment ami proved that, as Dr. White said. ” They are not dead.” Last came the Platos. We always expect to enjoy ourselves heartily when the Platos appear in Assembly! and this year was no exception to this rule. We like a good laugh once in a while, and thank the boys for giving it to us. We cannot leave societies without mentioning one of the most justly popular institutions in our school, one that has done much toward maintaining its reputation, the Central Glee Club. Then, most exciting of the events of the year, came the Senior election. Let those who scoff at the high and mighty Seniors of naughty three and hint that they have much conceit and no judgment, but look at the list of their officers and become silent. From first to last their selection of representatives, and especially of their chief representative, shows sound common sense and appreciation of merit. A most promising sign is that three of these officers are girls, a fact which indicates that Central's girls are at last waking up to the fact that it isn’t fair to do thro. -fourths of the v.ork and then give their brothers nil the honors. Last and best of all is that which is not yet come, our Class Day and our Graduation. For the Seniors among us. they will stand for the rounding out of a successful course: whose joys, sorrows and responsibilities have been but a preparation for the world which is before them. But the glad accomplishment is tinged with the sadness of farewell CENTRL sp mr r J 24
