Each adjusted his tie with care, Slicked down his Sta-combed hair, Practiced smiling, So beguiling That it made the Sophomores stare. To get a front row seat, One tried the other to beat. A job very bad, The photographer had: They almost took him off his feet. You Wonder what 'twas all about? The Annual soon was coming out. On pictures neat, Each must look sweet, So his sheba can proudly point him out. R.F.STEFFEN. Page Fifty-four

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 .

S Ally! AD g ' Tues.. Thurs.. Sat. Cfasses-Evenme 133, I , f i k Page Fifty-Hve Irving R. Jensen Jack H. Cook Charles W. Ellis Vice-President President Secretary-Treasurer The first Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening 'high school classes in the history of Central assembled in the fall of 1923. .- The work at first consisted chiefly of freshman and sophomore subjects. Some third year work, however, was added later. During the first semester the classes met on Saturday night but, inasmuch as this seriously interfered with Satur- day night baths or dates as the case might be, they were changed to Sat- urday afternoon. . Smiling Jack Cook is rather proud to be our president. He says it 1S a privilege to be a frosh but a real honor to be their boss. Well, we all agree with him, for we know he's telling the truth. Just give us the once-over. The man behind the gun is our vice-president, I. R. Jensen. He is a member of the five W's CWe won't work, will we?J He promised to do his best to escape the work of the president. Every man deserves his just dues, but C. W. Ellis, our secretary and treasurer, gets more than his share. The dues of the whole class come to him as treasurer. Our group has been outstanding in its support of school activities. Our subscription to the Foreign Work Campaign was proportionally greater than that of any other division of the School. Our Centralite subscriptions were almost one hundred per cent. This is especially remarkable because of the fact that the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday students are mostly new students. Several interesting assemblies have been held this year. Class meet ings were sometimes called immediately after an assembly. It was at our first class meetinggthat we decided to make our friendships true and strong in order that the fellowship of the spirit of learning could exist in us all CHAS. W.
