The students of the Junior Class each year promote a Senior Reception 'i because of its traditional value. ln years past the school spirit has been li more and more behind the Prom, until, by the overwhelming interest of .' this year's classes, the junior Prom was launched with assurance of the great- .' est success yet. The entertainment was excellent, consisting chiefly of solos and duets of i, both popular and semi-classical pieces. Probably the music most enjoyed was that furnished by the orchestra, the main constituent of the evening's program. The junior. Prom of '25 had the largest attendance of any previous prome- Q: nade or activity promoted by the student body. Students from every class ll-I and division of the School were present and enjoying themselves. ll The Juniors need not ask that the Prom of '25 be remembered, for it 11 has been ingrained in the memory of the many that attended. The ,Iunior 5, Prom Committee of '25 extends to the coming sponsors its wishes for an equally successful occasion. li ' F. 0. ROUNDS. 'j ll THE INTER-CLASS MIXER 'TWAS the lVlixiest Mixer that ever rocked and strained the iron beams F and structures of old Central. The noise mounted on and on with increased ' fervor and sifted its way upward through the many walls and floors of Cen- tral's building. -, Slowly but eagerly the mixers filed into the auditorium and gradually lf filled it to overflowing. New men wondered what it was all about, old men , were in readiness for the biggest time of the year. First was the Mixer contest starting off the rumble and roar that was to last throughout the evening. Then dinner was served to the howling 7 multitude midst songs, cheering, and mixing. i When the few speeches, made during the breathing spells of the yelling crowd, were over, the entertainment started, lulling the audience into a state 12 W, of quietude and eager anticipation. The Dramatic Club presented The .. Moonshinerf' a one act play. Jim Dunn and the lVloonshiner gave a bit li of clever acting and their work carried off the Mixer entertainment honors. Fi The Senior skit, Safety Razors First, with the black face twins bringing out laugh after laugh, came a close second for the trophy. The Junior Class with its Libretto and Score, and also scenery, lifted the tunes of the opera to those of the bowery. The Sophomores with their jokesters brought lips to a smile. The Lincoln Club enacted a bit of the future called Will It H Ever Be Thus? .3 The night was a glorious one, with sincere and earnest friendliness surging lg , through each and everyone. It was a night of noise, but the noise of school li ' spirit and bubbling happiness for the meeting of many new friends. JOHN W.

This proposal was enthusiastically accepted by a unanimous vote of the Juniors, and a junior Prom Committee was immediately formed. Earle Smith, Stanley Kuhns, and William Morgan were selected to assist the class officers in the furtherance of this social event. After careful deliberation, the faculty suggested that the Junior Committee present its plan to the Senior and Freshman Classes, in order to determine more definitely the general feeling in regard to it. The final result of this class inquiry was an agreement between the Senior and Junior Classes, whereby the proposed dance was to be organized as a Junior-Senior Prom. By the time a definite joint committee had been formed, the fall semester was nearing its close. The evening of january 3lst was agreed upon as the most suitable time at which to hold the dance. After considering the matter care- fully, the Committee chose the Blue Room of the Edgewater Beach Hotel Annex as the most satisfactory Hoor. A six piece orchestra was engaged to furnish music for the occasion. The bids were then placed on sale. The students of Central Day Prep should be commended for the prompt manner in which they insured the success of their First Annual Prom. Coupled with the sympathetic support of Central Evening Prep, the dance proved an exceedingly popular affair, with receipts safely in excess of expenses. It is hoped that the students of '26 will take a healthy interest in outdoing the fine precedent set them by the fellows, who in 1925, established a new social event in the history of Central Day Prep.

Q - .ii 10 U 'litre Qc in G irqtlligilce 'I L Debates Day INTER-CLASS DEBATES It is the custom of the Central Day Preparatory School to hold an inter- class debate annually. There are three classes, the Seniors, juniors, and Freshmen, with Mr. Marr, lVIr. Wilson, and Mr. Seney, respectively, acting as class advisors. These advisors, with the co-operation of their classes, chose the following subject for debate: Resolved, That the Child Labor Amendment, Now Pending Before the States, Should Be Ratifiedf' The Seniors chose the negative side of the question, and after a class elimination contest had been held, selected Walter Otto, John Owen, Gregory Varonis, and Boles C-obczynski falternativej to oppose the Juniors. The latter's team was composed of the following men: Albert johnson, Michael Wasick, and Leonard I-I. Greatwood, with Leonard Bergstrom for the alternative. Thursday, March l9th, 1925, found these two forces arrayed against each other, and when the contest was finished the Seniors emerged from the battle victorious. Shortly after their victory, they found themselves exerting every effort to maintain their honors against the selected forces of the Freshman team, which consisted of Ralph Woodneld, Albert Hammer, Herbert Lacey, and Al- bert Fox Calternativel. The Seniors, however, with their years of experience knew the art better than their opponents and won the supreme title. ADDRESS BY Tl-IE PRESIDENT OF TI-IE SENIOR CLASS OF THE EVENING SCHOOL TO THE FEBRUARY GRADUATES Graduating Seniors and Friends: When the class of I925 entered the Central halls as freshmen, the student body was only half the size it is today. More remarkable than this doubling of enrollment is the development of a School Spirit, manifesting itself in student activities. These activities have increased from a few assemblies to the successful management and carrying out of an Annual Banquet, a Prom, and the publication of the Centralite, each year outdoing the achieve- ments of the year before. Debating and dramatics clubs have been organized and plans are under way for inter-schools debating and athletics. All these have been made possible because of the co-operation of the graduating class and its desire to build a real school spirit. On behalf of the officers of the class I want to thank you Seniors for the loyal support given, and also to congratulate you upon the success of your graduation exercises, the responsibility of arranging and managing of which rested entirely upon yourselves. On behalf of the remaining student body, whom you have inspired to do even greater things in school activities, I desire to extend best wishes to carry on through the higher institutions of learning, for we know that your gradua- tion here is the completion of only a part of your preparation for the life work which you have chosen. We hope that, if at some future date a census is taken of this class, it will be found that everyone has reached the goal he has set for himself, be it ever so high. In the struggle to reach it we know that you will always be a credit to the institution from which you are graduating. H. H.
