JANUARY CLASS ADVISERS THE daily living example of a higher life, set by the three advisers of the January ”27 class, developed in every student a desire to come in closer contact with that complete understanding and keen insight into the problems of the modern girl and hoy. No trouble was too small for an adviser to help straighten out; no project, however fantastic, but what was listened to. Miss Elsie McGregor, who had been a senior adviser to many classes, left Central High School in September, 1926, to live in California. Miss McGregor, with her Scotch wit and humor and her never failing patience, was greatly missed by every member of the class. Miss Mary Harris, known to the entire student body for her wonderful originality, succeeded Miss McGregor. Miss Harris took upon her shoulders the many duties of a senior adviser, and by her intense enthusiasm and kindliness made a place for herself in every senior’s heart. Due to an accident received from a fall, Miss Harris was unable to attend the graduating activities and commencement of her first senior class. Her absence was keenly felt by each student. With a brilliant personality full of life. Miss Estelle Conway was the happy and sympathetic friend of all. Her quick sympathy and interest gave many pupils fresh courage to work out and finish that which seemed almost impossible to them. The ability to see and feel the viewpoint of a high school student characterizes Miss Conway. Keeping the goal of high scholarship always ahead, Mr. Orrin K. Kuenster urged and helped each member of the January class to do his best work. Mr. Kuenster guided the administration of the class with utmost impartiality. He was admired for his integrity and for his sound principles. The members of the January 1927 class, with the vision of these four advisers. Miss Elsie McGregor, Miss Mary Harris, Miss Estelle Conway, and Mr. Orrin K. Kuenster, always ahead, will go on to achieve the successes these people expect them to accomplish. Eighteen

To the Members of January and June Graduating Classes: AS from time to time through the coming years you turn the pages of this book, they will bring back to your fading memories associations and events which enriched and made happy the days of your high school life. From these pages familiar faces will look out at you and all but speak aloud of incidents of classroom, stage, or field, which contributed to your joy and growth. What you are today is. to greater and lesser degrees, the result of influences upon you of the lives briefly recorded in this book. Unconsciously, perhaps, have the daily contacts guided and moulded your careers. Much of whatever you may owe to Central High School for these years just closing, you owe to the personalities of teachers and fellow students, who by example, encouragement, rivalry, have spurred you to realize your best selves. I shall find it a pleasure often to refresh my acquaintance with you through the pages of your Centralian, for I am quite aware that many of you have been most helpful to me during these years. I assure you of grateful appreciation and I anticipate for you the larger successes that come through participation in the larger activities of adult life. With congratulations and best wishes, Calvin W. Jarvis. Seventeen

Dear Classmates: FOUR years have gone by—years crowded with happy incidents, added knowledge, and cherished friendships, years in which we have striven to attain the ideals and principles dear old Central seeks to inculcate in each and every student who enters her portals. Our way was made safe and clear through calm and storm by our teachers, ever willing to lend a helping hand, and by our parents, who encouraged us. Whether we go to college or to the University, or whether we enter upon a business career, a harder, more rugged life is ahead of us. In this life the ideals and principles which Central instilled in us will prove their inestimable value. Fellow Classmates, the school and our parents have given us their best. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel, put forth our best efforts, and by our achievements prove that their trust in us was fully justified. . Sincerely, Your president, Kenneth Rubrecht. Xineieen
