Cohen Assistant Circulation Manager Anton Siegal Art Maurice Galinkin Faculty Advisor Art Advisor Max J. Herzberg J. Earl Griffith The class of January, '14 takes this opportunity of publicly acknowledging its appreciation of the kind help and hearty собре- ration of the members of the Faculty, who have helped it to be what itis. We have come to regard many of them as our friends, because they have shown us that they are such. Mr. Arnold, by his patience and forbearance with our none-too-well-behaved class, and his tireless care in coaching our farce, has easily won his way into the hearts of many of us. Mr. Triess’ advice and counsel, given as our faculty advisor, and Mr. Herzberg, in the same capacity, have proved their value to us, and they have received the full measure of gratitude and respect due to them. This last term we have prospered well under the class rule of Dr. Knowlton and Mr. Gibbs. Mr. Wiener's solicitude for the welfare of every one of us has been evident at all times. To these especially, and to many others as well, the Class of Janu- ary, '14, owes a great deal more than it can express here in a few printed words.

going to do, | cried almost an hour, and said you would never be happy with me, if I've got you to leave your work. But, oh, Jack, he means it all for the best. Say you're not angry? Oh, І am the unhappiest girl! | A ringing laugh from Jack soon brought her out of her semi- hysterical state, and, putting his good right arm about her, to draw her closer, he whispered: “Little girl, do you think I'm blind? I was almost positive that was what was the matter some time ago, зо what Чуе think your Jack did? Не saved his money and invested in Jersey real estate. Yesterday, | closed with a pretty profit, and called you up to tell you, but you wouldn't listen because I was fool enough to propose first. As for my theatrical career—well, ‘twas but a stepping stone. Had | stayed in the law, it would have taken me ten years to get on my feet. As it is, | am going into part ner- ship with your cousin Paul next week, and we are going to develop a big tract of land outside of Newark. My law knowl- edge will come in mighty handy. But the show? It opens again Monday night. Yes, but not with the famous Jack Courier in the role of the king. Ah, no, our worthy prima-donna is as healthy as you or I, the show being temporarily halted to rehearse young Parker De Nome in his new role, which was once graced by me. See, here is my accepted resignation.” He pulled out several legal documents from his coat. And what are those? “These are the articles of partnership between your cousin and me, and this——— ' He paused dramatically. “This is our wedding license, and by Jove! Here's the Little Church Around the Corner, and our man has stopped. Must be a tire. Some luck, little girl! Now is everything cleaned up, and will you consent to be the wife of one John Courier, ex-hero? Peggy blushed and sighed, but no one could see it, for who can see through the back of a man's head. Even the murmured consent only amounted to a smothered Ummm! And say, maybe Father Rice didn't listen to a strange and garbled tale when at last they got home. But he forgave them, — fathers usually do in the best stories.

TYPES. We have all sorts of types in our class,—good, bad, indif- ferent. How many do you know? We can recognize the dry, witty person, whose few words are terse, funny, and to the point, in contrast to the loud, exclamatory, boisterous, see-how-funny- l-am kind, whose jokes are seldom appreciated by anyone but himself. Then there is the shy, modest, retiring, and studious type, who never says much, but is to be depended upon to finish strong, and also the clever, easy-learning, self-asserting kind, who wants everyone to know how bright he is, but who sometimes knows less than he thinks he does. We have girls who like the boys, and boys who like the girls. The athletic student offers himself as a contrast to the one of artistic temperament; the happy-go-lucky, well-liked good fellow laughs at the fussy, disagreeable, cranky grind; and, last but not least, the lazy, care- less, and indifferent person is shamed by the earnest, willing, and hardworking one. We have our faults, and admit to them all, but we have the good points, too, and each and every one of us is proud to admit that his fellow-classmates of January 14, are a pretty good sort after all. A NOTE OF THANKS. Before leaving the school, the class wishes to thank, aside Попа the faculty, those of the office force and others who have many times given them their aid. MISS MARTIN: It is hard for us to express in words the feelings of gratitude we have toward Miss Martin for arranging our schedules and doing everything she could to further the welfare of our class. MISS McNIERNEY: Many a time have we walked gloom- ily into the office only to change our expression to one of joy when we saw the little smile on Miss McNierney's face as she sat at her desk. MISS WEIDMAN: This young lady has gained the respect and love of all in our class by her cheerful manner and kindness. MR. TOMEY: The man that really runs—Mr. Tomey. Many times has he supplied us with chairs for rehearsals and opened our lockers when the keys were lost. MR. MACGUIRE: The arm of the law that remains at Central and sees that everything is kept in order. His quiet manner and broad smile attracts one to him. 13
