'- - ' ' .v .-.,y,,. Y 'll JUNIOR PROM, INTER-CLASS MIXER EVENING THE JUNIOR PROM To the Prom Committee of the junior Class we owe the best and biggest prom given in honor of any senior class in years. To them must credit be given for this prom which sets a new record in the social life of our school. The setting of the event was in the Grand Ball Room of the Hotel La Salle. Tak' ing advantage of the good judgment of the Prom Committee of last year their sucf cessors chose the same orchestra which featured their newest variations. During in' tervals of the music, frappe was served and at eleven o'clock the promenade of the Seniors and their partners was begun. Up and down the ballroom they paraded, led by their versatile president and by the class oiiicers, while the orchestra played an inf spiring march. What a beautiful sight they were, a creative influence to any student! Then everyone received balloons and serpentine confetti, Whereupon chaos reigned supreme. For a short period after the march, the entertainer for the evening led some in group singing. Following this the dancing began again and continued till the time came when the curtain fell on this event in the lives of the Seniors. THE INTERCLASS MIXER The 1925 InterfClass Mixer, held on December 12, in the school auditorium, was a great success. Over two hundred and 'fifty men responded to the call to enjoy the festivities, the eats and the mad whirl of merryfmaking. The faculty had a splendid array present, and everyone admitted that they were fine mixers. Mixers have been annual affairs, full of color, noise, and amateur talent. This year's mixer placed particular emphasis on the NOISE. The program was completely filled with firstfclass amateur and professional talent, supplemented by horns, squawk' ers, balloons, and soup. Dinner was served to the roaring multitude midst songs and cheering. After the introductory speeches, the gala entertainment was started. George Givot, a former Central Day student, was on hand with his inimitable jokes, which were greeted with howls for encores. Mr. James, a Brunswick representative, gave an enjoyable demonstration of the new Panatrope, an innovation in phonographs. The Dramatic Club, the Orchestra, the Glee Club, and the several classes all contributed to the entertainment, while the Fellowship Club obliged with some popular songs, and the Lincoln Club put on an admirable debate on the question, Resolved, that the hole in the dough-nut is of more value to mankind than the holes in Swiss Cheese. All in all, this mixer was really one of the most enjoyable of any ever put on. Its success is due to the old Central spirit. Page eigli ty r'i'-tfrafrwffrl . . 'Q reviewer-

' ' , lt, '- 1 ., A L R HONG KONG DRIVE DAY ASSEMBLIES HONGKONG DRIVE The Central Y. M. C. A. annually conducts a drive for funds for the maintenance of a supervising secretary in HongfKong, China. As a part of this campaign, Central Day Preparatory School yearly contributes its share of the quota. A committee, composed of Seagraves, Olsen, Greatwood, John' son, and Mr. Coppock, was formed to commandeer the drive. The students promptly responded to the appeal. At the close of the drive they had contributed over two hundred 'thirty-five dollars. The Evening High School, working for a set total of 3350, exceeded it considf erably in raising 345321. Exactly 356 students and instructors gave a dollar or more apiece. The campaign, inaugurated by the Student Council, was conducted by about thirty selected students, of whom Raymond Hebberd, Charles Bedig, Darwin Hollie, Elmer Scheer, Matteo Boniiglio, Axel Nielson, Alvin French, Leo Bartolini, Bernard Kramer, Elmer Santelman, Irving Goux, Arthur Engelskirchen, john Kaser, Guy Lane, Franklin Richards, Walter Richards, Leslie Mason, Stewart Matson, William Vokolek, Ferdell Rounds, William Zacharias, and Fred Zuhlke collected amounts ranging from five to fifty dollars. The most successful results attended the plan of sending students in pairs into classes, one to deliver a short address on the purpose of the fund, the other to give out and collect subscription cards. The two high schools have reason to be proud of the unseliish support given to Y. M. C. A. development in the Orient. DAY SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES The Day School has been favored this past year, with some exceptionally fine speak' ers, who delivered addresses on either general or special topics. Among the speakers were the following men of note: Reverend Elmer L. Williams, of the Better Government Association, judge Edgar A. Jonas, of the Municipal Courtg Major john L. Griflith, commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, Dr. Preston Bradley of the Peoples Church, Congressman Morton D. Hull, Dr. Herman N. Bun' desen, city commissioner of health, and Dr. john Thompson, of the First M. E. Church. Each speaker brought a vital message. All students who attended these assemblies feel well repaid.
