THE JUNIORS Hail us! For our brilliancy is no longer to be sup- pressed. Although for a long time we have been rising steadily to the top of the ladder of learning, it is just lately that the school has been forced to acknowledge it. We have but one more year here and then we will grad- uate from Old Central,-not as the present Senior class will or preceding classes have, but we will go out leaving the pupils and teachers sorrowful and dejected. Our class has shown its usual good judgment in the selection of- class officers. We have chosen for our high and mighty 'J representatives boys and girls who have won honors for usg those who have raised the standard of the class, and those who will continue to uphold it. Mr. john Higley, our president, has ap- peared before us in the Christmas IIIMW X Mlm .47-'Flin .7 N' 11'-lx .q l'l'l1htWSNFlKfitf. X. ft .wet 'gpg I Qi .ix me X-X9 , f 1-5.

NX r x than the ordinary Freshies j we were kept in the background, but our brilliancy, daring spirit and loyalty brought us to the front. When we became Sophomores we were, of course, a wee bit conceited-that being the one characteristic of all Sophomore classes-but never- theless, we gained the respect of all. Now the pupils look up to us, rather than look at us as their equal. Even the Seniors confess that we are the light and joy of the schoolg that the spirit of loyalty that we have brought to the school is beyond their power of imitation. Well, we must not be too hard on them, for we must remember that we, too, will be Seniors. The Seniors deign to smile on us, but we do not care to recognize itg the Sophs cry to be one of usg i XXX N play, taking the role of Doctor Binton ' most successfully. Miss Lee Camp- ' bell stands among the highest in our class in her studies and shows her humorous talent in her locals and stories for THE LUMINARY. Miss Lily Bell Neal and Miss Blanche Rosencrans have each won medals given by the Daughters of the Revolution. When we were irst year pupils Qwecould scarce call ourselves Freshmen, since we were far more brilliant the Freshies sigh' and look up to us. The Seniors are not worthy of much attention as they' soon will be a thing of the past. Sophs and Freshiesf' don't worry. You are all young yet and may learn-at least we hope so. just take us for your model and you will be all right in the end. We know you may be just a little late, but remember every little dog has his clay. BESSIE PAGUE, junior.

CLASS OF NAUGI-IT SIX Wonder! Wonder how such remarkable people as those who now compose the Sophomore class were once Freshmen! From the nrst, this brilliant class has been recognized as the great eighth wonder of the world. The societies opened their arms to us when we were Freshmen and the mighty Faculty opened their eyes in amazement at our brilliancy. So far did we surpass the brain-bursting CPD Seniors in the class rooms thatit was predicted by all that we would even graduate before they did, however, not wishing to embarrass them before the eyes of the school or to deprive them of their glory, we considered it best to run Old Central for two years to come and allow them to receive their diplomas. We are not only prominent in school life for our aptitude in studies, but are noted for our remarkably pretty girls. If any one cherishes any doubt on this subject, let him observe the humble piety with which the swell-headed juniors and stuck-up Seniors wait upon the dainty little maidens of naught six, and his shadow of doubt will instantly pass away. Perhaps you would like to hear a bit of our history. Well, when we were Freshmen we were young and unsophisticated, as are all Freshmen. Because We knew nothing of Parliamentary Law, we were not even allowed to have an election. We were green as green could be and instantly bit at those time-worn jokes of the nursery and those elevators. But stop! The Freshmen musn't think that we were worse than they are, for now we clearly realize that we were endowed with better developed minds than the present Freshmen. We have been able to accomplish much more than they can ever hope to attain. Even the teachers recognized our abilities and delighted in our company, as was shown by those daily invitations extended to. partake of a little intellectual consultation with them. As Sophomores, you have already heard of us. We added but one accomplishment. That was due to the girls, their looking glasses, and chamois skins. We sincerely detest bragging, but a certain amount of it is permissible when one has something to brag about, if you do not believe We deserve such praise, merely look at us and admire. Wait! If you dare to see the most brilliant class that ever graduated from Old Central, turn your eyes upon the dazzling Sophomore class-the good old class of naught six. RUFUS F. MONTGALL, Sophomore.
