W e, the class of ID 1.8, must receive our diplomas in a place which holds no memories, no associations for us; and yet we feel that we are upholding the motto of Central High School as worthily as any class which has preceded us. The Senior Class is usually representative of the spirit of the school, and we are justly proud of our part in every activity, besides our manifestation of the indomitable spirit which always has characterized Central pupils. We have the distinction, unfortunate as it is. of being the last Senior

Class which had even a part of their final year in Old Central, and we are quite sure that no greater spirit can exist than the close co-operation which has held us together this semester. “The Mirror” wishes Godspeed to this Senior Class which has struggled under such difficulties and wishes for them a glorious pathway, “through difficulties t« the stars.” After eight weeks of hardships we are again united and ready to a great extent for the new term next September. The Juniors and Seniors are in the Medical College and the Sophomores in the annexes. Although the Freshmen cannot now be with us. they can indulge wtih even more eagerness the joy of anticipating High School. We are glad that the lunch room and gymnasium are restored. It is at least a partial compensation and we arc expecting greater things. Through the efforts of the Vhimni Association the library, too. will he ready for use next September. Hut wc already have an auditorium, not the crowded, stuffy kind, but one out iu the ojxm air. This is indeed the nearest thing to having Central hack. When wc meet together on Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Fridays, we can almost believe that wc have. It will 1 another year at least before the new High School is completed. Till that time we must do our duty where wc are. for that is the spirit of old Central High. From time to time High School has given teachers and students to the army. Mr. 1 hi ford. Mr. Farris and Mr. Lee left this year to join the colors. Though High School regrets to lose them, we are proud of them, and we wish them a part in the world fight for democracy. The members of the Mirror Hoard thank the advertisers who have given such cordial and substantial support to the Mirror, not only this year, hut throughout all the years of its history. It is largely to them that we are indebted for furnishing us the “sinews of war.” And to the suhscrilnrs who have so cordially supported us by their friendly reading of our pages; to those who have contributed material from which wc make our choice; to those members of the Commercial Department who aided the business staff as bookkeeper and typist: to the teachers whose never-failing assistance has liecn invaluable, we wish also to express our thanks. The editors regret that in the last issue of the Mirror the names of several of the most active members of the staff were omitted from the board of editors. These were Miss Elsie Wertheimer, of the Advertising Department; Miss Torrance Redd and Miss Annie Lee Mason, of the Department of Happenings in High School, and Miss Rosa Lee Walston, of “Clubs. In addition to the Honor Roll. Central High, like every one else, has a service flag, made by the girls in our own sewing classes. Unlike nearly everyone. however, our service flag has lived through a fire. Strangely enough the flag, which hung in the auditorium, fell through to the gymnasium and was not destroyed. Pag fifit n
