Jhe da us of One of the most satisfying things a student can exa academic school work, especially in electives.

Another great poet, Longfellow, once wrote: How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of Beginnings, Story without End, Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend! . . . All possibilities are in its hands, No danger daunts it, and no foe withstands; In its sublime audacity of faith, Be thou removed! it to the mountain saith, And with ambitious feet, secure and proud, Ascends the ladder leaning on the cloud!. Undoubtedly, Longfellow well remembered this pleasant, beautiful experience he refers to as youth. At Central, we have seen its illusions, have experienced its aspirations, and have dreamed its dreams. Somehow, as in no other age, youth finds that all possibil- ities are in its hands, no danger daunts it, and no foe with- stands. Its possibilities are unlimited. It finds in itself the am- bition, the security, and the thrill of being young. Nevertheless, youth does have its problems,- but be thou removed! (youth) to the mountain saith. Yet, we, the youth of today, cannot move mountains. We are powerless and in- capable in ourselves. This is where Central takes a hand. For, of Central, we learn that youth is not just a Book of Be- ginnings, but also a Story without End. Yes, Lord Byron, we heartily agree: The days of our youth are the days of our glory! School life would not be complete without sports. Basketball high- lighted the year in cthletics as the Tigers had their best season in many years Leroy Turner goes for the ball in the Marion game.
