SUCCESS It can be said of many a successful business man that his success cannot be attributed to particular advantages, as a brilliant brain, good education, power and backing of wealth and the tradition of a name, but to something else. That something else is called personality: the ability to make, and what is very much harder, to hold friends! The friendships which are able to stand the constant contacts and close association maintained in a great school will be more than likely to endure in after years. What more natural than that such affiliations should in fact lead to permanent connections and to mutual advantages in after life? With all due respect to superior attainments in scholarship, and the ability due to mental training, both in school and out of it. the largest measure of success frequently comes, not to the brilliant student, but to the man of average attainments; to the man possessing in the highest degree that faculty for drawing and holding friends. Such power does not commercialize popularity: it springs from fine, generous, upstanding character. Such a friendship is twice blessed I “FAREWELL AND HAIL!” Everything that has been done this last year has been done for the last time in Central. Those were the last Central football games, the last basketball games, the last baseball games. The Oratorical, the Joint Debate, the Senior Play, were the last to be held in Central. This is the last Mirror published by the Senior Class of Central High School. Indeed, this is the last year of Central High School itself. How odd it will seem to say that we go to Phillips High School. But when we stop to think of it. we realize that Phillips will have the same student body, the same faculty, the same grand old spirit, but will have in addition a beautiful new building, bearing the name of a man who made Central itself possible. And so we will change schools, carrying with us the memories of Central and carrying also the hope and ambition of making Phillips High School the greatest in the country, greater, much greater even, than old Central.
