C6mi Intentions hen the annual committee started to compile this hook it was with the best intentions toward everyone; including those who should read it. W bile we have been working, we have tried to keep this idea constantly before us, whether we have accomplished our purpose, or not, will have to he determined by those who read the b x)k. In order that there may be no doubt in your minds as regards the intentions, we are determined to put down a few of them on this page. OUR FIRST GOOD INTENTION was in dedicating this volume to the faculty of Central. In this way we hope to show our appreciation of the time and trouble which they have spent during the last four years with the class of June, 1911. OUR SECOND GOOD INTENTION was in getting out a book which would be perfect in every way. Here we almost met our W aterloo. We forgot that all human beings make mistakes and got out a book that was so perfect that it was almost unnatural. In order to remedy this defect we have put in a few seeming mistakes so when you come to them remember that they are not mistakes in the true sense of the word, but were simply put in to round out this volume. OUR LAST GOOD INTENTION was to include in this work all the various phases of Central High School life. In this we hope that we have been successful and that our work as set forth in this book is satisfactory to the class, and that the book will be a pleasure to them, both now, and in the future when they look back over their days at Central High. THE ANNUAL COMMITTEE, Donald McCarthy, Editor-in-Chief.

To the Class of June, jpu: Beloved classmates, let us speak a few words together before we part from one another. A strong feeling of friendship and brotherly love has grown up among us during the years we have spent in this school. Let us now fondly hope that this kindred feeling will still live within our breasts even though time and circumstance separate us. In fact, should we not become linked in a stronger bond of kinship than ever before? Four years we have struggled over these waters, sometimes turbulent, more often calm. We have obeyed our commands without hesitation, now let us follow out our further orders with renewed vigor. We have reached the Italian shores of our High School course. We have a feeling of triumph, of success. But let us look forward a little. Here we see a warlike tribe (our college course), which we must conquer before we can build the city of our dreams. We must endure much in this struggle, hut we are well prepared. From the trials of our voyage we have learned many things. We need not the aid or guidance of the fates for we have acquired the great essential, self confidence. We have learned how to apply our minds and to associate ideas. These are our sharpest javelins with which to pierce the opposing forces. We have learned how to work. This is the strongest weapon of defense, the foundation of our future victory. Comrades, we will he most successful in this great undertaking of the future. We will overcome the strong forces of the savage Rutuli. We will found our Rome on the lofty hills of confidence, application and work. And thus we strive and succeed, oh classmates, let us hear with each other the memory of dear old Central, our earnest helpful teachers, our kind and honorable principal and our happy class of 1011. Drnbar Millar, President. Fifteen
