SENIORS EVENING LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS INDITED BY CHAS. Z. BEDIG, JR. To whom it may concern, viz., id est, and to wit, our parents, our friends, our benefactors, our faculty, et al, etc: Know ye that we, the Class of 1926 of the Central Evening Preparatory School, sound in mind and in perfect health and memory but low in cash, with full realization of the depressing fact that poor old Central must now be bereft of over one hundred seventy-five of her staunchest, most intelligent and handsomest sons as they journey forth to inspire a waning world, we do make and ordain our last will and testament in the manner and form following: Firstly, we do most earnestly entreat Mr. Howard L. Buck, our distinguished prin- cipal, to act as executor ex officio of this our last will and testament. Secondly, we do hereby make the following bequests: To Mr. Everett, the sole privilege of supervising the hundredth volume of the Centralite. To Mr. Fisher, the cashier, the privilege of collecting the tuition from the students. To the Faculty, we do will, give and bequeath, the right to employ the timefhonored, much abused and unholy privilege of flunking the poor unfortunate individuals who may arouse their ire. To our successors, the junior Class, we bequeath the right to become Seniors, and hope that they may maintain the mental plane behtting and becoming that august body. To the Sophomores, we leave all the worry and possible debts which may arise if they become Juniors and promote a prom. To the Freshmen, that group of verdant juveniles we leave three more years at Central. To Keenleyside, in the book store, we bequeath the undisputed right to check hats and coats unto eternity. To Helen, fountain girl, we give the pleasure of filling all fountain orders after ten o'clock. To Esther, the cashier, the pleasure Ol of Professor Darwin O. Hollie's company for at least two more years and incidentally of enjoying his world famous lecture on the Elasticity of Banana Cream Pie. To Brandt, the handsome information clerk, we 'surrender the opportunity of an' swering innumerable questions on innumerable subjects for innumerable people. To the next Senior Class, President Ferdell C. Rounds leaves his moustache hoping that it will be cherished and nurtured fondly. To Carleton J. Jacobson, the editor of the 1926 Centralite, the opportunity of editing the one for '27. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto affixed our hand and seal. CLASS OF 1926 CENTRAL PREPARATORY SCHOOL.

Seniors may be termed the standard' ' 5 -E bearers of the school's reputation. i. ir The members of the Class of 1926 have fulfilled the requirements of Central which Q. gt are the cultivation of the mind, body and spirit. This program has served as a line of development for the Senior Class, 'ff Y' Studies are the main portion, ranking far in advance of any other activity. The ka 'fi class average is excellent, portraying the punch and vigor so common to senior Ev J classes of Central Preparatory School. M -E Unexcelled vitality has been displayed as the Seniors have kept the wheels of activ- D JJ ity pressing forward. They were found in enormous numbers at the Interclass Mixer 'E and Junior Prom, while their theatre party was an enviable avalanche of merriment.

BANTA Vice'Presideut Many people would say, if they were in our position, At last we are at our jour' ney's end. But, instead of being at the end, we have just begun. We look back upon what we have accomplished with wonder and look forward with only that spirit which has helped us accomplish much during the pastfew years. By developing into a real business organization we have been able to work with the needed cofoperation in all our attempted undertakings, and with the able assistance of our advisor, Mr. Marr, we have accomplished those undertakings with surprising regularity, At this time, I wish to commend Mr. Crabs, who so ably took the reins of office in hand and started us out upon our work with a vim that denoted real leadership. It has been necessary for the present officers to uphold that high standard set, so that the Senior Class would live up to all its expectations and fiiliill all its obligations with the necessary and proper efficiency. ln conclusion we, the members of the Senior Class, by graduating, feel not as if we were losing a friend, but only as if we had found onega friend which will stay with us the rest of our lives regardless of the difiiculties we may encounter and one that may rightly be called Education, W, ADELIBERT Orsiax.
