McCLURE LAURA LEE EVANS SELF PITY The countless thousands moaning, O, cursed spite that I was ever born to set it right,” might profitably cease lamenting long enough to count what they might be doing to alleviate the darkness of this inevitable pit toward which they seem to be whirling. The continuous assumption that one is under an unjust and fate-drawn handicap really becomes a self-handicap. Shakespeare regarded this tendency sufficiently to use it as the theme of one of the world’s greatest tragedies. DE FACULTATE You surely remember the time when you saluated your teacher in the morning with a wonderful bouquet of roses, and that afternoon pasted or drew the comical caricatures of her on all the neighboring board fences. You regarded her then as a scholastic quack whose professional activity demanded your presence and an attitude of strained attention. How do you regard her now? Perhaps in the upper grades the light begins to dawn, and you come to regard her as your friend and adviser, acknowledged among the most satisfactory friends your high school course has known. A WISH FOR YOUR VACATION The most of us have already begun our vacation in our minds eye. We can see a cottage down on the gulf, see Aunt Mary's Seven Gables” down in the country, see ourselves toiling and spinning something for next winter’s store, or reaping the harvest of idleness we have been sowing these last two semesters—summer school. Then let us chant: ’’What 'ere the fuss, it seems to us. How ’ere you may deploy it To fit the punishment to the crime Still—thoroughly enjoy it.”

VALEDICTORY The Class of 1922 will probably be the last to graduate from Central High School on Avenue F, for in the near future the John Herbert Phillips High School will be completed, and the graduating exercises, the Senior plays and the Shakespearian plays will be held in its beautiful auditorium. Not only will the Senior classes, henceforth, have the advantage of an auditorium, but every pupil in the new school will enjoy better facilities, more room, better appointments. There will be a larger library, a larger chemical laboratory, and a larger art room, all with better equipments. Although the 'Medical College holds some happy memories for us. we congratulate our successors on their inheritance—the John Herbert Phillips High School. We wish to congratulate Woodlawn High School on their new paper— the Vestalian. W'e shall welcome it among our exchanges—as next of kith and kin. It is always with a feeling of sadness that the Mirror bids farewell to a graduating class, and it is with a seemingly greater degree of regret that we part with the Class of 1922. In this group are boys and girls whom the school claims with pride. Though we are reluctant to see them go. we wish for them the success in the world that they have attained in Central High School. Central High School appreciates the work of the Orville Coston Memorial Committee. I hrough their efforts, about five hundred volumes have been added to the library shelves. Central High School thanks the committee, and with them will revere the name and memory of heroic Orville Coston. THE FUNDAMENTAL There is eternally present the process of evolution. Our school life undergoes it. We form our clubs to fight our fights, we spend our autumn months yelling for our teams, we specialize on debates, declamations and Glee Club, we publish our high school magazine. However, let us not forget that the basis, the fundamental, the thing that brings us here, is Education. Let us hold that before all others. PEN AND INK CLUB It is the aim of the Pen and Ink Club to help produce the most attractive Mirror possible at a minimum cost. With this idea in mind, they have sup-pi cd two color linoleum blocks for the editorial and athletic departments. A linoleum block is merely linoleum glued to a block of wood which n al'ts it type high. The picture is drawn on the linoleum and cut out by h.rnd. There blocks, cut by Ernest Crain and Ernest Henderson, are used Instead of zinc plates and give two color illustrations for the two departments at less cost than a one-color illustration for one department if zinc plates were used. This type of work is similar to the wood block cuts of the old masters, but is simplified by the use of linoleum. Page High l
