The first class meeting was given over to a discussion of proposed l . P . . . I l I - candidates for class offices. At the second meeting, the election was held. ' 1 ' ' l . . . . . 4 ,Igii K. S.

Shortly afterward, Don Tursman was chosen 1 Z' i as Junior Class Athletic Representative. il ' li To the Junior Class goes the credit for having introduced and made os- i ' sible an Annual Prom, as an addition to Central Day s social calendar. The 1 I1 g. Junior Social Committee spent much time in deliberating upon the various 'Q ,Fil aspects of the proposed affair, and their deep conviction that such a function I ,LJ .

KELLEHER To Whom It May Concern, viz., id est and to wit, our parents, our faculty, our friends and benefactors, et al.: Know ye that we, the Class of i925 of the Central Preparatory School, sound in mind but weak in purse, with full realization of the deplorable fact that poor old Central Prep must now be deprived of over one hundred of her ablest, most intelligent and stalwart sons as they fare forth to challenge a Evickecl world, with due pity and full sympathy for our bereaved Alma Mater, o Firstly, in all compassion and generosity bestow upon her bowed head our beatific blessing. Secondly, we do most humbly entreat Mr. Herbert F. I-lancox, our dis- tinguished director, to act as executor ex oHicio of this, our last will and testament. Thirdly, we do hereby, hereupon and herewith, not to mention heretofore and hereinafter, make the following bequests: To Mr. Buck, the privilege of welcoming the hundred thousandth student to the portals of our magnificent sky-scraper school in l950: To Mr. Everett, the sole privilege of enrolling that hundred thousanclth pupil in his newly bestowed capacity of registrarg To the Faculty, the right to heave a solemn sigh to heaven as one more batch of incomprehensible incorrigibles gleefully slam the door behind them, never again to haunt those hallowed halls. To our successors the junior Class, we throw the torch, to carry on, to hold on high, with futile hopes that they may not so nearly drive their poor instructors to idiocy or insanity as we have. To them we also entrust our fond advisor, Mr. Frederick William lVlcClusky, the First, to their certain edification. To the Sophomores and Freshmen, the privilege of producing minstrels, mixers and proms in future years to their little hearts' content and to the incidental indentation of their treasury. We hope and pray they may never break our breakage record in chemistry laboratory. To lra, in the bookstore, we bequeath the inalienable right to keep on hand forever an inexhaustible supply of examination books to the joy and exaltation of those poor unfortunates who yet remain in resignation. To Baldy, the Candy Kid, we grant the right to maintain at any and all times a most complete assortment of Ohl l-lenry's, Ohl lVlabel's, Old Nicks and old whatnots, most especially for classroom consumption. To the elevator operator, in conclusion, we bequeath a fur-lined gold- knobbed elevator cage which should be sufficiently elastic to accommodate the muttering mob that he always leaves behind. ln Witness Whereof, we have hereunto affixed our signature and seal.

Their attitude has been one of class loyalty, 3 coupled with a willingness to assume their full portion of any labor that might I , be entailed in the earnest promotion of student activities. -3 Thomas O. Slack's resignation at the close of the fall semester, deprived the Junior Class of an able secretary-treasurer. However, lVlr. Slack's own sug- ,if gestion, that James De Vries succeed him in this office, was enthusiastically 3, received by the Juniors. A rising vote of the class members plainly demon- I strated the popularity of Jimmy's good humored smile and friendly dis- lg 3 position. It is well, in passing, to mention the keen interest which the Juniors have 'gl exhibited in the recently organized Central Day baseball teams. Their initial :ia victory in the opening game versus the Seniors seems to presage an excellent If I season for them. if At all times, particular attention is centered upon the Junior Class, because it contains the nucleus of the leaders for the coming year. Thus, the ex- 'Q ploits of the Class of '26 have been watched with interest, both by the men -, who precede them, and by those who follow. It is the sincere hope of the ' 1' Junior Class, in summarizing their accomplishments during the past year, that .3 they have not only proved themselves well fitted to lead Central Day Prep i -, during l926, but that they have also served as a worthy example to the .4 boys who are about to take their place, and carry on as the Class of '27.
