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. RALPH McFAUL, Treasurer. Extracts From “Central Gazette” The illustrious Seniors of this here school did on December first (1), 1911, give a dance. Altho it ’peared like there wasn’t going to be no let-up in the weather which was very disaprorable them folks turned out with their shining countinances all wreathed in smiles. According to the money took in by the gate receptors there was forty-five (45) couples there which didn’t much more then pay expenses and made our illustrious fellow Senior Frederick Soule feel sort of nervous like until someone said to him that a muss (Continued on f»wre 21) —22—

was as good as a mile and right away he was happy. Everybody went home happy and an enjoyable time was had by all. Again the Seniors done themselves proud. This time it was at the Senior Program which was gave on Friday the twenty-sixth (26) of April at West High Hall. Amongst the talented contributors which was all local talent, and of which thing the Editor is most proud, was Sadie Bates. She is smart and knows her business. She is at home and easy like on the stage and don’t make you feel as if she was the whole thing or as if she thinks she’s smart which is likely with most folks of her trade. Next come Mary Baernstein and her fiddle. Mary can make that fiddle talk. Her tones is so sweet and meller like and everyone were so sorry to see her quit. Mary has got a future in that fiddle. Next comes Katie Hart. She sings like a little bird. Katie was learned about this abroad. The Editor can remember when she was a little girl residing in Mankato, Minn. And folks predicted then that she would show them and she’s doing it fast. Elsie Gross contributed to the program and one what most likely is called a semi-classic dance. The Editor ain’t learned much about classics but Elsie done it up fine. Alice Allen then did nice on the piano and who played like she enjoyed it which according to most folks is the only way. Then are Orchestra played fine. Taking it all in all the Program was a success and a most pleasant evening was had by all. Friday the tenth (10) of May, the June Seniors give another dance at the Franklin Av. dance Hall, owned by Mrs. Noble. There was quite a lot came. The young men folks did there duty fine for there weren’t any Wall-flowers so far as anybody noticed and everybody seemed busy tipping the light fantastic toes. The dresses were fine wore on that auspicious occasion. They danced to good music till everybody was most danced up and then all went home feeling as if the evening was worth the price and a good time was had by all. The Editor has noticed that among a few couples around this here school there is a tendency to court. It’s all very nice but he don’t believe in taking a grown-up’s job until he’s ready. He ain’t a mysogynist but he don’t believe in picking the apple when its green. Some folks has said that they feel sorry and out of sorts because they ain’t going to graduate from the new building. According to others folks ideas, its the old oyster shell thats got the most chances of being full of pearls, and maybe if we looked we could find a few gems in this one. —24—
