S Ny! no Freshmen Day ,Q , , !, is 4 k Edward W. Diller Joseph W. Tolar Walter J. Otto Vice-President E President Secretary-Treasurer On September 8th, 1923, we entered the golden portals of Central Pre- paratory School,'to find that which is strived for by all-Education. In a very short time our class was organized, and the various activities launched. We were all enthusiastic over the fact that We were on the road of training, and with the kind help of the seniors and the teachers, we attained by our hard efforts a record which is ever worthy of recognition by the ofiicials of the Central Preparatory School. To verify this statement we must present some of the accomplish- ments of the class. At the start of the'season, we organized two basket- ball teams. Handicapped by age and size, We were unable to secure the championship, but our experience and training will show different results in the coming year. In other athletic events We have had better fortune and our Watch word is, Wait until Field Day. When the call was sent out for members interested in debating, over forty came out With their best to give to their class. With the help of Mr. Webber and Mr. Hadley, several preliminary debates were held, and through these, two teams were selected. Our first team easily defeated the Juniors on the question, Resolved, that the City of Chicago should own and operate its own traction lines. Our second team met defeat on the same question against the Seniors, but - they deserved and were given credit for the splendid eiorts put forth. Upon looking over the list on the honor roll, one finds a large per centage of these to be Freshmen. Some were even listed on the honor roll for the first semester, which proves the type of students in the Freshman Class of 1923. We went over the top in our subscriptions for the Centralite When the time came for the Freshman class to entertain the assembly every member was willing to do his share, and the assembly was royally entertained by our black-faced comedians, under the supervision of Mr Hadley. Our class motto has been, Be Better Students, and with this spirit we have gone through the first year and, will carry it with us through college, where We shall leave it and go out into life and try to be better men.
