in the elements of simple democracy and efficiency. Make it just as good as the best. Permit nothing to interfere with its proper growth and work. In doing this one thing well, your name will go into posterity hallowed by the love and gratitude of many. You will not have lived in vain. The community in which you have lived and labored will be better because you lived in it. 'Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee. Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace. To silence envious tongues; be just and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's. Thy God's and Truth's. Your Principal, JOHN N. GREER.

To the Graduates of Central High School r HE graduates of the Central High made a great I mistake in not attending the reception and dance given by the Senior Class to the Alumni on Friday evening, April 19th, at the Masonic Temple. The Seniors had made every arrangement for a large meeting and gave a very interesting program. Few of the older alumni attended, which was a disappointment to the Senior Class and the officers of the Alumni Association. Feeling as we do, that there should be a closer union between Central High School graduates, we thought this reunion would work up a school spirit that eventually would develope and be the means of forming an active and aggressive organization. At present the Association is inactive and is doing nothing for the progress and advancement of High School work. Nor is it doing anything to stimulate the students to greater efforts either in school work or in the various fields of activity of the students outside the school room. If properly handled it would be able to accomplish much along both lines suggested. The Alumni of this city working with Alumni of the other high schools could also wield considerable influence in affairs that pertain to the public good on the broad local questions of the day. We are not taking the stand that our training and education entitles us to, and I hope the present Senior Class will take up the work of organization and follow up the start made this year. If this is done from now on the High School Alumni Association will grow, and the future graduates will get under the banner even if we old timers forget our obligations. Wishing the Association future greatness. I am yours sincerely, W. W. HEFFELFINGER, President of Alumni Association. C. H. S.. Class '88. Pag fourteen
