Secretary’s Report TjTIHE first business to be transacted after the June Class of 1912 entered . - its senior year was the election of the Class officers. The similarity of their speeches of appreciation proved anew the truth of the old adage that Great minds run in the same channel.” Various Class meetings were held which gave some of our stellar lights a longed for opportunity to display their luster in extemporaneous debate. The bone of contention seemed to be the Class pictures, there being a difference of opinion as to which of our local artists would touch up our comely likenesses in the most flattering manner. After Alice had coaxed for half a period, Willie at last consented to explain the pictures, which he did in minute detail and we finally decided upon Hubner as our choice. One dance was decided upon and given. An entertainment is under way at the present time for the purpose of raising money for our Class memorial which has not been decided upon. In three more months we graduate as the last June Class of Old Central,” and then our Senior Class meetings will be adjourned. LOUISE LUPIEN. Secretary. Treasurer’s Report T HE Senior Class is at present on a sound financial basis, due in a great measure to the efforts and accomplishments in our Junior year. It has always been known that when the Senior Class of June undertook a project, the same has been a success, socially and financially. May this fact be an incentive to following classes.

high school course has been prepared in order that we may not only see the opportunity but also avail ourselves of it. Various trades and professions are calling every day men and women of high character and self-reliance. It is for us to choose the one for which we are best suited. Then, when we have chosen, let us enter the race with our goal fixed firmly in mind and with a strong determination to “make good.” By “making good,” we do not mean that we should be the greatest in our trade or profession, but that we should make our influence always a thing to be felt and our opinion always to be respected. Let not our success be measured by the amount of money we have amassed, or by the number of men we have under our control, or by the great position of trust we occupy, but rather let it be measured by the amount of good we have accomplished for the betterment of our fellow men. Although in the future we may be separated by many miles, may we always be held together by that common bond of fellowship which has been so characteristic of our class, and by our loyalty to Old Central. And now as we leave school days behind us to enter into newer and greater fields of activity, let us bear in mind the words of Lincoln: “I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true; I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.” RAYMOND HORN. ]
