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.

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
