1-a-fi t 'i .ifsigiix CHS get - liieafihisii s ' SENIOR CLASS REVIEW As the time draws near when we will leave dear old Central our thoughts turn back to the accomplishments of our four short years. As we look over these records of past achievements we find that each year the Class of 1923 has in some way contrib- uted not only to the glory of her class but also to the honor of Central High. FRESHMAN YEAR When we entered the first year of our High School career most of the class was attending Gridley, some were contributing to the several other High Schools of Erie. Nevertheless, we entered into the spirit of the school and through the medium of sev- eral dances and entertainments made a name for thgclass that was to follow it through all the four years. At the close of our freshman year we heard with glad hearts the news that we would attend Central during the coming sophomore year. SOPHOMORE YEAR. Our Sophomore year brought the numerous members of our class into closer rela- tionship and we began to realize that we were a part of the stirring life of the High School., As the time passed the class -off 1923 became represened not only in athletics, but also in dramatics, journalism and music. 'Several of our members belonged to the swimming team which has established a name for itself all over the United States. During this second year our social life was not neglected as may 'be seen from' the nu- merous parties and entertainments held. JUNIOR YEAR As the third year of our high school life rolled around us, we awakened to the fact that half our time -had passed, so we began to enter more strenuously into the ac- tivities of the school. The illustrious swimming team that won the world's interschol- astic relay at New York was composed 'of three members of the Class of 23. Football was another activity in which the members of the class distinguished themselves. As the third year of our High School life drew to ii close, we realized that there was left to us only one short year in which to distinguish ourselves in the activities. SENIOR YEAR The senior year of every class is always filled with many important events and the Class of 1923 was no exception. That year will always remain a 'memory in the minds of each member of the class as a year of supreme accomplishments in every depart- ment of the high -school life. In athletics, '23 distinguished themselves, especially in f otball holding the highly lauded Academy team to a tie and covering themselves 'th glory. Central was also victor in the interscholastic basketball games. In dra- matics our members also took a leading part. The Senior Class Play, Adam and Eva will remain for a long time in the memory of the seniors as one of the most important events of the year. The class also held several dances and entertainments, including the Senior Banquet. As we look back upon these four years of joys and sorrows, we think of our var- ious accomplishments and each of us strive harder to make the name of Central High School and the Class of 1923 a lasting memory in the minds of everyone. 15

Tess with the ready wit. is the capricious Tess that most of us know. but under- neath this fl'lV1lOllS alir lies a charming personalhty und an alert mind.

RUTH ACKERMAN French Club: Virgilg Girls' Societyg Trig Even Ruth is known as the best student of '23, she is not one-sided. W-ith the sin-cerity, the truth. the faith- fulness is mixed the love for a wholesome good time such as is derived from swimming and hiking, humor. and a trace of the practical joker. fVVe have not forgotten that sunny September afternoon in room four, when. with the aid of a mirror, little orb.ts of light flashed from statue to stt1tue.J ' GEORGE ALDERMATT Spanish Club C2-3-41 George is a tall. blonde quiet fellow. He gets good marks, his smile is lovely and his hair is wavy. We sup- pose he spends hours trying to get the 4-url out-isn't it orld how men hate curly hair? George is go-.ng to Carne- gie Tech to take up a course in engineering. PURL ANDERSON Football Q2-3-49, 'rrig 449 Purl has made a glorious record for himself during his too brief stay at Central Hi. His name has been carved deeply in the Red and Blat-k hall of fame-for was it not he who saved the day last Thanksgiving by throw- ing the Academy fullback for at loss when Central's goal line was threatened? He was easily the best lineman in Erie last season, He was. in fact. so good that he left for Carnegie Tech in February so he can make their var- sity tnot the freshman terml next season. Purl has made a number of friends in High School who fully expect that he will some day be classed among the foremost com- mercial engtneers of the country. 17 .3 . X
