HESE, our northwestern steps, constitute the step- ping stones to success. lt is upon these that we stride, refreshed by the blasts of the wind as it sweeps around the corner oi our dear Alma Mater. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores, all alike, climb them. lt is an invigorating sight to see the new students with a look of anticipation on their eager countenances as they ascend them, and a sorrowing one to behold the graduates in their descent turn their backs on the ivy- clad walls of dear old Central.

From the East, the shrewd and astute, We obtain our business sagacity, Our love of learning, sturdy Policies, and the watchword Caution But from the West there come The plaintive strains of a coWboy's song, Mingled with the Indians' tom-toms. lt is then We see on the hillside The Scout, and his pony with the golden mane, Gazing out over the mighty city, magic in the Sun, Great structures: edifices, temples, dwell- ings On the land of his fathers-that the white have won. He beholds English cottages, Spanish castles, French chateauxg and there at his feet Every race on the globe come and go Telling their story to the Heart ot the World. To this metropolis - The Heart of America, To all her institutions, beckoning Us to right and warning us of wrong, Our book is sincerely and gratefully dedicated.

Gazing out to the Western horizon this entrance feels the cool air of the day in the rnorning and is blighted With the hot blasts oi the sun in the later afternoon. As one leaves, she is inspired by the sight of Old Glory waving in the gentle breeze.
