15 ll flfaisii - ,gliiffiiiii lg 1 n b llmatwafm r ln our Sophomore year we gave a dance, we started our recruits in for athletics- and we learned! Oh, what a lot we learned! The girls had their hero worship fOh shades of Joe and Danlll and the boys stepped out. Once in a while we studied, and always, always we learned. So perhaps, in a way, we took the longest strides in that one year that we ever did-before or since! At last the heroes and the beauties graduated, and we came down to earth-since the reigning dynasty had become mere girls and boys that we had known since kinder- garten. We settled down, and in that year we really studied hard. Tom was again chosen President, with Charles Baurnbach, Vice-President: Helen Eberle, Secretary, and Cather- ine Hakes, Treasurer. We had loads of good times and good parties. We' shone in basketball, and found the strong, firm, footing that was to enable us to blossom out into the top-rate class that our Senior year found us. And in this last year we have proved the stuff that was in us. We started off in a pleasant social manner, with the finest, jolliest Hallowe'en party that Centra! has ever seen. Then we buckled down to football, and backed our team. We pushed them through to victory, and pulled them through from defeat, and we were proud of them. We danced over Christmas vacation, and struggled through the finals without many casualties. Then we adopted the basketball team and followed it through a straight-line, victorious season, and even when we found that victory is frightfully two-faced, we stuck and allayed our disappointment with a grin and a promise. The whole scoool had a good time at the Carnegie Musical, but the shining social event of the season was the jolly party we held on April !7. Never was a class banquet or a class play so blissfully put across as ours, so we are proud, and stuck up, and happy. Why have we been so suc- cessful? Where did we get our spirit? Why is our Spokesman so good, and what will make our commencement so fine and enjoyable? But, Juniors, we have worked hard and played hard, and done our very best in every way. We have tried to help all we could, and hinder the least we could. Nothing has been too good for us, no one too bad. With a spirit full of democracy, pep, and ambition we have travelled the high- school pathway, even to the doors of commencement: and if we sometimes worked hard and were disappointed, we can honestly say-It is worth it!

I 11 'ii-Z-Erfi v 33:-13 I i f gale! IM akin? C , HOWARD MARCUS AARON. Shrimp Track Manager Q4J, Spokesman Board Q31 GL Q4J, Cheerleader Q4Q, Glee Club Q3j, Treasurer QSJ, Debating Club Q21 61 Q3l, French Club. Hail the track manager of l925l His host of friends call him Shrimp , but the title does not do justice to this little giant of the business world. A dashing figure at leading cheers, an artist at the banjo, always the chief entertainer in a crowd- Shrimp is a born leader, as he will certainly show in future years. MARION SARAH ALLEN, Sally French Club, College Club, Orchestra Most unusuall One of the first combinations of beauty and brains on record. ln school she is a marvel: or so her English teacher says, which means a great deal. Marion is one of Central's best boost- ers: she is one of a group which has made our orches- tra possible: and none root more than she does at the football games, We don't know what school she will attend next, but hope that she will take up music. ELIZABETH MIRIAM ALTERMATT, Betty Betty is a girl in a million, The accomplished sort you know, And in the art of breaking hearts She graduated long ago. There are so many nice things to say about Betty that we could never tell them all. However, the words that describe her best, we think, are: just a reg'lar pal . It is rumored that she is very fond of Hom-er. GORDON SHREVE ALTMAN, Cow-boy Trig. Cordon has worked hard while with us, and we hope that he will keep it up. He is one of our steadiest workers, and hits the mathematical line hard. Engineering seems to be his craving, and he desires to be civil . Put two and two together, and you have civil engineering. The University of De- troit has caught his eye, and he may enter that school next fall. Here's to the best of success in that field, old boy , ROBERT MINNIG ANDERSON. Oppie Swimming Q2j 5: Q4l Yes, Oppie is some fishl His plunging is the best in the city, and, not trying to be personal at all, why shouldn't it be? His is a whale of a build, which aids him to a great extent, in his aquatic suc- cess. We hope that he will get along just as swim- minglyu in whatever he takes up after leaving us, as he has while at the old school. DONALD LEWIS AVERY, Don , Mgr. Jr. High Varsity Basket Ball, Mirror QU, Span- ish Club Q25 6: Q3D, Dramatic Club Q31 6: Q4J, Treasurer, Dramatic Club Hail, all hail, to our great actor and oratorl What a pity it is that we must lose this Don ,Iuannl But there must be an end to all good and great things. How lucky Chicago will be next year when it claims our hero! Much luck to you, Don!
