THE CENTRALITE ln the past year the Centralite, the monthly school publication, made a name for itself among the high school newspapers of the country, winning third place in its class in the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion contest, and first class rating in the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation contest. In April fourteen members of the staff were initiated into the Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists. This was a notable distinction because the most talented high school writers are included among the members of this society. The Centralite was enlarged to five columns this year and included many new and interesting features. The members of the staff may truly look back on their journalistic achievements with pride. -.,,g.-.Q -v, -. 1.1'x.z..,.,.-,,y -, - . .lf ,-,...'.-rv L iz PACE Tl HRTX FIX L

Now once again they would see their mothers, wives. sweethearts and children. They would have a decent hed to sleep in, a roof over their heads, and they could rest without heing disturhed hy machine guns. Yes, they would make up for those long, dreary months of hardship in the trenches, They would shake off the disillusionment hrought on hy the ghastliness of war. A-Xrmistice! Peace! How sweet those words sounded to their ears, deaiened hy the roar of cannon. No wonder they wept for joy! Yes, life is sweet for those who survived the hattle unmarred, hut for thousands of ex-service men, our maimed and shell-shocked heroes, the war is not yet over. These men claim our gratitude and respect on Armist- ice day and all other days.
