' M Literary X X al. Ns EDITORIAL As this issue of the Annual goes to press the Staff awalts the finlshed product of their toil in the hope that it will meet with the full approval of the student body and that we have fulfilled our pledge to build a bigger and better Centralite. No time or effort was spared in our endeavor to create a book that would conform to the high ideals of our school. Our purpose this year was not to make an entirely different style of book from previous issues but to continue the general plan of last year's Annual and aim toward a more perfect book with a few added features and innovations. The Staff is deeply indebted to the valuable asistance and timely advice of Mr. O. S. Barrett, of Pontiac Engravers, and Mr. Everett, our Faculty Advisor. We express our sincere appreciation to the Misses Wagner, Matirko, Blesse and Routson, and Mrs. Morris, who so kindly and willingly contributed their time in typing our final copy. To the Messrs. Slad, Paterik, Morin, Ellis, Caponigri, Rose, Bierstedt, Wedeen, Slattery, J edlan, Cook, Marcus, Stih, Klein, Bruce, Landgraf, Tursman, Krueger, Otto, Carl- son, Beard, Forslund, Hansen, Wynkoop and others, we extend our thanks for the efficient and successful manner in which they handled the sales and promotion department, to Mr. Otto Prepychal for his work on Senior photos, and to the numerous students who contributed material for the book. Without the aid of these and in fact without the support of the entire stu- dent body this year's Centralite would not have been possible. A HIGH SCHOOL UTOPIA This high school was located on the banks of a beautiful lake, 1n the golden city of Dreamland Its turrets stood out 1n bold relief against a dark blue skyline Numerous roads led up to its doors The school term was one week on and one week off' alternately for five months of the year The teachers of this school were graduates of Hollywood or four years in moving pictures Every morning we had assemblv for two periods after which the students were permitted to take off any periods they desired Every pupil drew ten dollars a day except Freshmen They drew only five The assembly was a very large exquisitely decorated room containing numerous softly cushloned plush chairs Ushers walked up and down each aisle with baskets of rotten eggs and cabbages for the convenience of students who grew bored with the speaker Conduct was a thmg of the past here and the more one cut up the better grades he received After a hard day of this boresome school work limousines were waiting to take students any place their hearts desired so long as lt did not keep them later than ten thirty the next morning Sleep was unnecessary because of the numerous study per1ods during the day A , . , , . . 9 if - 7, .
