f,- .sf-in rl i 's -. w MQ Lk H fl H CB vm- - Literary SENIOR WILL-DAY Hear Ye! We, the graduating class of '25 of Central Preparatory School, being of sound and disposing mind and realizing that the fate of all Seniors is drawing nigh, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the school we leave the hope that it will ever continue to turn out scholars from its great halls of learning. To the Freshmen we leave two more years of bright and joyous play before they take up the solemn duties of Senior. To the Juniors, the forthcoming Seniors, we leave the trials and tribulations of the senior year. To them we also leave our beautiful LaSalle Street campus. Let them guard it as a cherished possession for upon its paths and byways may only Seniors walk. To the Faculty we leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for what they have taught us, for the task has been an arduous one. To Mr. Wing we leave a secret method of catching all those ditching as- sembly and cutting classes. To lVlr. Webber, we leave a new voice. At the present rate of usage, we are afraid the one which he now has will soon wear out. To Mr. Casner we leave a class of supermen who will have at least passed out of a semi-savage state. To lVlr. Marsh we leave one hundred thermometers to replace all those broken in the physics classes during the past year. To lVlr. lVlacGuidwin we leave a complete French textbook for use in his classes next year, thus saving him extra work encountered in the use of the present text. To Mr. Seney we leave one full and complete class of American History students who will always look up all reference work. To Mr. Wilson and Mr. Eaton we leave study halls in which there will be no whispering, talking, newspaper reading, etc.-nothing but studying. To Mr. Davis we leave a baton for use when he conducts singing at assemblies. To lVlr. Marr we leave the duties of advisor to next year's Senior class. To Miss Ralston we leave our sincere thanks for the many little favors, such as looking up marks before report cards are out, etc., which she has always so willingly done for us. We also leave her a helper for this work. To Slim we leave a permanent helper. We think he works too hard now. To each of the girls in the Office we leave a five pound box of candy. To the students of the School we leave a one hour lunch period, a lounge and smoking room and more holidays. Adam Slaw leaves his place on the Honor Roll to whoever is capable of filling it. Gobczynski leaves his mustache to lVlcCredie. Brundage and Kaplan leave their ghosts to sing and play at assemblies.

. . G- -A '1 fs me QQ mggirfkggqa Literary Once more the scene changes and this time I find myself on a crowded street corner, where a crowd has gathered to listen to P. Cosme's lecture on Why you should attend baseball games on Wednesday. He is fol- lowed by Keefe who talks on the advantages of travel fby way of the side-door Pullmanl. Next I see a spacious studio, in which an artist is working upon a master- piece. The painter is none other than H. Pareira, looking greatly inspired by his work. The magical power again changes the scene and presents The Hall of The League of Nations at Paris, at which sit C. Dralle and IVI. Hull as delegates from the United States and C. Costales and A. Bustamante as delegates from the Philippine Islands. Following this comes the interior of a beautiful New York hotel, designed by the greatest of all American architects, B. Peterson, and owned by his classmate, F. Cushing. In the lobby are I. Bednarchuk, an expert in horti- culture, who has just returned from Egypt where he improved the agricultural system: and R. Gobczynski, an ambassador, recently returned from China. As I gaze, this marvelous scene changes and presents the interior of a bank, of which I... Lightel is president with S. Munson as his secretary. This scene vanishes and as I continue to search the clear depths of the crystal, I see the Editor's Office of the Atlantic Monthly, where H. Fenske, the editor, is discussing with F. Dattlesweig, a friend, a new book written by their former classmate, F. Howell, and published by Schneider and Schryver, New York publishers. Next I behold a chicken farm of great extent. The owner of the farm and of several thousand chickens appears, and I recognize I... McFarland, who has become wealthy through the discovery of a substance, which, when mixed with chicken feed, makes hens lay two eggs daily. Now I see a tall dignified man with golden red hair. He enters the state capital at Nebraska, and seats himself in the governor's chair. Viewing him more closely I find he is W. Readdy. This vision is replaced by another which shows a room at the University of Chicago. Here, in the Professor of Physics, I recognize B. Speirs, who is demonstrating before his class a perpetual motion machine which, with the aid of O'Keefe, he has invented. The crystal ball next shows me Messrs. Allen and Hough, on their way to Europe to inspect a new bridge constructed by P. Canizzo. A quick change presents V. Costales, a prominent modiste, who surpasses the best Parisiennesg and after him R. Driscoll, the dean of men at the University of Illinois, where he is liked and respected by all the students. As this last scene vanishes, the magic light that surrounded the crystal ball disappears. I am suddenly aroused by the alarm clock, and I find myself still seated in my chair at six o'clock in the morning. SOL. LUBELSKY. lPage 761 Tm..m.amam.1.m..1r'1r.:.::.:.m...r' ..

Your humble servant, D. TERBORGH. A SYMPHONY AND A DREAM l walked along the beach one night And called out to the tireless waves To play for me a symphony: And lol they ran their fingers o'er The chords that bind our hearts, and sang of you. l asked the dozing sands of whom they dreamed. Our dream, said they, is but a memory Of eyes that laughed, of ears that understood, Of tiny feet, carressing, as they trod Upon the hearts of poets in the sand. The wonder of it filled my soul, And joyfully l thanked the gods For you, the Maker of my Fate, Beloved Captor of my Soul. ROBERT EMMET MOORE, fPage 781 :F ..
