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.

Za 4 k Q ,aliyfim Z' i W X, H. H. Heuser John A. Stih Edmund A. Utt Vice-President E President Secretary-Treasurer YEA, F RESHMENI YEA, FRESHMEN! LONG LIVE THE F RE-Sl-IMENI Rather queer way to introduce one of the largest, brightest and hand- somest bunch of fellows at good old Central, isn't it? It is no more than right and we are not asking too much of your expectations either, because we have all of these qualifications and not only that but we are also ambi- tious and progressive. Kind of rare thing to find all of these qualities com- bined, but listen to us and we'll prove it. Previous to the 6th of September last, each and every one of us appar- ently must have considered, pondered, and talked it over with mother and father, employer, or our associates about continuing our education and finally decided in favor of civilization. That is that rare intangible quality called ambition. Then we went about and chose the Central Y M C A School, a modern, 'up-to-date and progressive institution, which indicates progress We were then all gathered one evening not long afterwards in the Auditorium Some knew why some were in entire ignorance others were mquiring and Just gazing about with every indication that they were going to find out It wasn t long though before we knew why we were there It was the organivation of the Freshman Class like every modern group of human beings that wish for strength in un1ty Ofiicers were elected and future plans were made Dld we stop here? No' We did not and have been going ever since We ve been heard of all over the School and shall be heard from not only now and here but in the future 1n the business world We are men of action Watch us J ANTHONY STIH FI'6Shm6l'I-EV6hlh2 I I , .I I I , I 1 I ' I 0 , I I I 0 , ' 7 .
