While roaming around Central's halls during the two-week Centralian campaign, various members of Ye Old Staff reported to The Powers That Be in the Centralian oflice that the student body was hurling disparaging remarks at THE MASTERPIECE, the 1943 Centralian . . . Now, seriously, fellas, when you live with a book for a whole yearfwhen you sweat blood for it, stay at school till 10 p. m., and even give up your lunch periods just to determine whether Jones, Mary's middle initial is E or D --then you come to love every one of those 104 pages as the hot dog loves its bun. So naturally The Powers That Be were offended to hear that their brain-child was being attacked by vicious gossip, and we rushed to the front hall to ferret out the source of this blasphemy. And this is what we heard: Huh, where did they get this business about a 'Future' theme-whatta they think they are, fortune tellers? I don't crave this Centralian deal at all. Maybe I'm just not sharp, but I don't get the driftf' Well, fellas, this nearly broke the hearts of The Powers That Be. Surely something was wrong if only the editors could understand the basis of the book. So here in the foreword Cwhich we hope youill read in five or six yearsl The Powers That Be take the opportunity of rectifying their mistake and inter- preting the Centralian in terms of its Future,' theme. On the opposite page you see the vague outlines of a nurse, a businessman, and a farmer, all of whom signify various positions Centralities may occupy in the future. On the three colored division pages are found drawings signifying objects ofthe future and the passing of timeg the modernistic school building, the gavel, and the hour-glass with 1943 just squeez- ing through. Then, on the subdivision pages you see sketches of a little old man who is reminiscing about his school days at Central in 1943. That's all there is to it, fellas, no foolin'. . . . Kinda vague, but the pitchers is purty! Sincerely, THE Pownns THAT Be.
