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

Secretary’s Report In September, the June class of 1911 elected its officers, with all due ceremony. Since then, numerous class meetings have been held, called to order by the president with one exception. Then, according to ancient custom, the president remained in the hall and the vice-president presided. The class has accomplished many things both great and small. Two dances have been given and preparation for two more are on foot. One thing the class did, which is worthy of mention, was the adopting of the Sweetscr resolution. This called forth a very heated discussion, but was finally passed after a small delay of three days. The class memorial has not been decided upon as yet. Several trifling suggestions have been received concerning the matter. Mr. McWhorter ably suggested a grand piano, (t 'pon inquiry it was found that grand pianos ONLY cost eight or nine hundred dollars.) Our class meetings have often been diverting, not to sav funny. We have had some remarkable debates. The most interesting was in connection with the resolution previously mentioned. The question debated upon was: Could three or wore lessons be properly prepared during fifteen-minute period? Mr. Miller decided in favor of three. ()ur class has one valuable asset which really ought to he mentioned, that is, our wonderful class spirit. The boys seem to be almost as interested as the girls. The date for our graduation has been set for June 5. when one more class will graduate and its members become alumni. Sybil Hates, Secretary, June Class, ’ll. treasurer’s Hep art Thus far the work of the Treasurer of the June class of 1911 has not been of the most arduous nature, due chiefly to the fact that there were no dues to collect. Nevertheless the class has in its treasury about $20 which was derived from the Senior dances. This money in all probability will be added to the memorial fund, which the Treasurer hopes to be collecting in the near future. At present the most absorbing task of the Financial Official is collecting funds for the Annual Committee, who, according to the editor-in-chief. need the money. Respectfully submitted, Eric Ericksox, Treasurer. Seventeen
