Therefore, hearken, all ye follow- ers of '23, to the revelation of by-gone days spent profitably and M happily under the shelter of dear old Central! The veil of eventide was slowly obscuring the crimson skyhas a craft made its way into the darkening shadows. Mingling with - the sweet June air appeared these vivid memories of the successful course of the Brown and Gold :- Once again I see you-a Sophomore class. wandering with a feeling of discomfort, through strange corridors yourselves to the mysteries of a new school. How strange lines of girls marching to classes! Instead there were scattered groups of buoyant girls hurrying to study hall or recitation. The spark of your Junior High School spirit began to f'lame as you overcame the obstacles in your eager attempt to be- come a part of Central. Timidity gradually wore off when you no longer found need of mentally rehearsing what corner had to be turned to reach the biology or Latin roomg and by the end of the first term, every girl's ear was carefully trained to the shrill ring of an alarm clock. Walls that at first loomed uneonquerable now seemed less formidable, and you successfully completed one third of your course. As this scene from memory slowly fades it is replaced by one more colorful. With an exultant feeling of being at home, you returned to assume the' role of Juniors with the rights of class organization. ln a. short time pins and rings of dainty design gleamed from the dresses and fingers of the girls and the Brown and G-old took its place beside the Blue and Gray. The first step was well taken in choosing Aumiller to steer the stormy course, and wisdom was equally dis- played in the election returns which disclosed a capable body of officers: first term president, Helen Graeff, vice-president, Pauline Huntsbergerg secretary, Emma Spence, treasurer, Mariea Baum. Second term, further proved good judg- ment in choice' of officers: President, Helen Graeff, vice-president, Dorothy Saul, secretary, Emma Spence, treasurer, Minerva Bernhardt. A buzz of Ml told you son filled the air when Minerva Bernhardt, Margaret Chambers, Emma Spence and Marian Oehme received the prizes for the highest standing in Sophomore subjects. The Junior Glee Club found favor and the hopelessly and fearfully, , attempting to accustom to view no orderly, sober contestants in the Samuel W. Kunkel contest displayed qualities of oratory well worthy of mention. Parties, in which 'teatsl' played no small part, led us into realms of gayeties. The Junior year was brought to an auspicious close with a big hike. The memory of at profitable Junior year was followed by one more glorious. The year of all years approached with undue rapidity. The Senior year was launched with vim and enthusiasm. The choice of officers may rightfully be marked Hefficientw for Ellen Holbert, president, Elsie Dare, vice-president, Minerva Bernhardt, secretary and Alice Derrickson, treasurer, proved their worth in guiding efficiently the course of affairs for the first term. Miss Swartz was wisely chosen class advisor. It was by hcr untiring efforts that our class sailed smoothly over troubled waters. The Student Council were energetic in starting the school year off by giving a social affair. The auditorium was filled to capacity with Centralites, all heartily enjoying the Get-to-getherl' party. The Student Council with its fine body of officers, Emma Spence, president, lda Gross, vice-president, Marjorie Russ, sec- retary, successfully strove to bring honor and glory not only to the class but to Central. Another gala event was the senior class party. The auditorium was appropriately decorated for a Valentine party and after a delightful allegorical play, which was beautifully given, every senior enjoyed a delicious picnic luncheon. 0077, l IIIIIIIIIIHIHIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIIIIIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllIIIlIIllIlllllllIIllIIlllIlllllllIllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIIlIIIIIIIllIIlIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIHIIIlllIIIIHIllIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIHII

But, alas now! now from your doors we must start To be tossed on Humanity's sea Others will come and others will part But none more loyal at heart than we. Farewell dear Central farewell to you, 7 7 Farewell, farewell to the gray and blue, For we must upward and onward strive And Find a way, or make one.'l Like the ships that sail on the mighty sea, Like the birds that rise toward golden sun, We have met, we will part, perhaps ne'er to see Each other, all together, again. We ill scatter to South, North, East, and VVest, And each will pursue his chosen way And the one he considers to be the best. But still i11 our memories every day Vile will think of thee and our classmates dear. Oh, Father, guide us upon our way, Oh, bless us and keep us, one and all. Hear us, our King, as We humbly pray, Forgive us, we beg, if we ever fall Away from Thy tender and loving care. Help us forth in the World we gro To uphold and fulfill our ideals.

A. R. contest was won by Margaret Chambers, Margaret Dickert and Elizabeth Toomer. The play, HPennsylvania Too, with Emma Spence cleverly portraying the leading role, depicted colonial days in contrast with modern times. Christmastide found the Class of '23 busily radiating Christmas cheer to many Stockings filled with Hgoodiesu gladdened the hearts of many Edgewood kid- dies, A chorus of several hundred voices, on the Capitol steps, rang out clearly and sweetly on the 4'Still Christmas Eve, singing carols of HGoodwill to men and peace on Earthf' The officers for the second term could not have been chosen to better ad- vantage. Helen Graeff, efficient and capable, headed the crew as president, Ruth Bowman, vice-president, Helen Groce, secretary, and Agnes Clancy, treasurer. They earnestly cooperated to make the senior year one of success. The study clubs, the S. P. Q. R., Le Cercle Francais, the Demosthenian Liter- ary Society under the leadership of their capable advisors, reached the climax of their helpful year of work by giving a joint scholarship club party. One of the many admirable traits of the class of '23 is coicm-ge. They have successfully accomplished what other classes heretofore have hesitated to attempt. One of the accomplishments was the conducting of chapel exercises in the audi- torium twice a week. Another' was the formation of the Athletic Association which made possible a basket-ball team, unsurpassed in its record of victories. No little- wonder with Helen Gracff as captain, Rose Lampas, Helen Toomey, Mary Fessler, Violet Baumgardner and Ann Wilsbach as players! The Glee Club is entitled to the many compliments it has received. It reached the height of its career when it gave, with the aid of Tech, one of the finest musical programs Harrisburg has had the privilege to hear. Miss Zeiders led the debating society to a happy termination by a Moonlight Frolic in her garden. The society did not confine its good work within Central but sought bigger fields and established a fine record by debating with Central High School, Washington, D. C. The affirmative team was composed of Gertrude Klemm, captain, Elizabeth Longaker, Ellen Holbert and Catherine Pellow, alter- nate. The negative consisted of Pauline Greene, captain, Catherine' Meikle, Min- erva Bernhardt and Mildred Yingling, alternate. Another victory was won when the affirmative received a unanimous decision in its favor. HThe Argusw this year has been of an unusually high quality. Marion Oehme, editor and Margaret Mitchell, business-manager, with their staff worked hard all year for its success. Every department from Editorials to Jokes has been thor- oughly enjoyed by all its readers. The class play, 'LThe Commuters with a well chosen cast of girls and the assistance of Tech boys won undisputed glory. The Commercial department represented Centra.l in an efficiency contest in Indiana. Mabelle Miekley, Thelma Stipe, Lucy Cremonesi and Thelma. Mathews all won honorable mention. The Washiiigton trip, June 11, 12 and 13 is in itself a big accomplishment for any class. Many classes have merely talked of such a trip! The end of your course on the Central Sea was reached at Commencement, with Minerva Bernhardt, valedictorian, and Emma Spence, salutatorian. You are thc fiftieth class to graduate from Central High School and as the class of 723 you leave behind a record of glory and honor, one that will never fade. Even though some of your praiseworthy deeds may be forgotten, the life-sized statue of Joan of Arc dedicated to Central. as a memorial, will ever be a vivid reminder of the class of '23. Your capable body of officers, your efficient, worthy class advisor, yes, every member of your class has helped to make 723 a fiaming example of success.. Your ship of state of '23 with the Brown and Gold flaunting in the breeze, is ready to leave Central is harbour, to sail on-on into the misty sea of the future, prepared to brave any storm with each member of the crew ready, To find a way or make 0116.77-PAULINE GREENE. lll lllllllllll IllIllIllllllIllIllllllIlllIllllllIIllIIlllllIllIllllllIIllIllllllIllIIIIllllIIlIIlllllIIIlIIIllllIIllIIIIIIIIIllIllllIIIIIIIllllIIllIllllllIIlIIIlllllIIllIIllllllIIllIllllIIllIIlllllIIllIIllllIIIlIIlllllIIllIIllllIllIIIIllllIllIIlllllIIllIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Fzfteeoi
