THE POST:GRADUATES Perhaps some of you may remember that at the close of last year there was at Central a race of people known as Seniors, who had become so very inflated with their own importance that their overstrained craniums bid fair to burst under the pressure of the rapidly swelling gray matter within them. Indeed, it is rumored that some of the poor wretches actually suffered this awful fate and that now they are engaged in the stupendous task of collecting Ll, XL ' enough of their scattered brains to serve as ballast on their journey across txtb Q sf the necessity of preparing four lessons, can devote his time to a thorough and comprehensive study of his sub- jects. He brings to bear upon them also, the experience and mental acumen gained during four years of high school work and can not only master more diiiicult problems, but can master them more quickly than his classmates in lower grades. The factor of time is a very important one in such studies as literature, history and economics, where much outside reading and indi- vidual research are necessary to make the troubled waters of life. Some A one's work of real educational value. thirty or forty of the graduates The numerous school enterprises, have succeeded in bringing together ' P such as the Xmas play and the Inter- enough to serve as a working basis, , Society Literary contest, our Glee and with admirable good sense have G if . Club, our Athletic Team, our school returned to Central to takea post- 'wfwiy paper, our literary societies with graduate course. Many of these grad- T ' 7 U their Hall Programs,and the social life nate students are preparing for col- k a K that they bringinto the school, all give lege. Others who do not expect to 0 ,fl g axa M i X Central that splendid school spirit attend college, take advantage of the usually found only in colleges. Our opportunity offered by a post-graduate year to round out their education by study in branches of art, science and modern language which it is almost impossible to include in the regular course. The advantages of such a year are easily discerned. The student, free from the demands of the literary socie- ty, perhaps of THE LUMINARY Staff, of the school teams, and from duties of a public and semi-social nature that are alwaysimposed upon a high school Senior, free from courses of study prepare more fully each year for the principal universities, in some branches even overlapping and allowing Central students to ob- tain advanced standing in rhetoric, science and mathe- matics, and now there are coming to Central every year a greater number of pupils of college age who de- sire more mature and advanced work.
