Those of its who scent through nearly four years of Central with her still long remember her coopera-tire spirit. .Ituniys aiding everybody in every wav possible, her greatest service was rendered in the office where she willingly offered her services as a monitor. Mr Lie-heuberg, for xthom she worked, declares that. Mary tins alu-ays willing to volunteer her services, and was dependable in everything she undertook. The doss of '33 trill inter forget Mary because she accomplished so many things in her short life. She did me types of things and performed those services that trill linger longest in our minds.

Assisting her were Geraldine Bergen and Isabelle Clark I LOOK AT MY FOUR YEARS By Margaret Russell Four long happ years at Central I Now that we arc about to graduate we begin to think (no comments, please!) ami to recall past experience of our high school life Certain things that happened each year stick in my mind as the high-spots. 1 remember -as a freshman—Home Room 104 .. . the death of Miss Y is wall and Miss Vida Smith taking her place while Mrs. Andrews took the latter's place in the Math department . . . the Junior High Dramatic Club ami the debate . . . mat dances . . . ami the tale about senior high students tliat used to filter down into the Junior High . . . and last of all the memory of a happy, carefree existence. Ami then we became sophomores, and at first we were quite bewildered ami thrilled by the imposing senior high and the dignified (?) seniors. We grew out of that stage, however, ami became slightly sophisticated. High spot of that year . . . senior high mat dances . . . Tiger House, one of the best plays ever given at Central . . . night parties at school and depression parties everywhere . . . the football team, which won second place in the Big Fight Conference . . . the game with East on Armistice day—always the annual battle—ending in a tic . . . Twelfth Night, the spring play . . . and to that year cuds. The junior year is characterized by growing sophistication on the part of the members of the class. There was Captain Applejack. the tall play . . . the football game with West and the unexpected victory accompanied by renewed pep . . . the grand pep imetmgs for that game ami for the one with East which we won . . those pep meetings . . . ami the way in which everybody yelled! The clivers could be heard for blocks around! 1 can't remember ever having heard Central students cheer so loudly before—or since. All the football ami haskcttiaU players. And 1 remember certain members of the Mirror Staff initiated as charter mcmliers of Quill and Scroll . . Gertrude Johnson ami the way she read poetry, especially The Potatoe Dance . . . the Editor ' Conference at Wisconsin High ami the dinner at Memorial Union . . . Monsieur Beaueairc . . . National Honor Society appointments . . . redecoratiou of the halls and rooms of our dear old alma mater . . . June graduation ami the realization that our own graduation was only a year off Anything can happen ami everything does happen when you're a senior. We, the seniors, will probably remember this year longer ami more vividly than the others simply because it is our last year, and after this there will be something vastly different to do and see and accomplish. There was the Home Talent Show, the attitude of the audience, ami the after-effect —no aud programs for weeks ami weeks . . . the utter lack of pep oil the part of the student budy . . . ami mi pep meetings to try to revive our lagging spirits . . . the alumni round-up . . . crushing defeat at the hands of East on Armistice Day . . . February graduation , . . Central's new hand room—supposedly soundproof—but in room 202 which is directly under it, it sounds as if the cannibals were going to descend ami devour the innocent student . . . the struggle for a Student Council , . . The Red Mill, the best stage presentation in 10 years . . . the election of class speakers . . . class meetings . . . selection of class colors, motto ami other business . . . National Honor . . . final preparations ami rush . . . graduation . . . memories. . . . P«t« 13

I can't understand it ? He wa« considering in his own mind (as well as he could, ior lie had often been told he didn't have one) how In should entertain himself, when suddenly White Rabbit ran clove h him into the elevator. HjarcV, This gave Johnny an idea. Oi course it was not a new idea, hut hr had never thought of it before “What t i do.” thought Johnny. i- (J|dvy the rabbit, and if I can catch hint, I could put him in a hat—then I'd know everything.

What a «iuccr feeling, thought Johnny. I feel as if my head had grown very-large. and sure enough, he put hi» hands up to his lu-ad and found it all inflated, just like a balloon. N'atttrally he was worried, hut then lie remembered that hr had heard someone say that all Soph onmres were big-headed, so he supposed it was quite natural. Now that his head was so much larger, little Johnny wondered how his voice would sound So he began to recite nitr of hi uursvrv rhymes: Hew doth tb, D'son crocudIU Improve hi, protrfr., And (athrr a'l tb- qui nurk« in On u h a rrddi.h scale!
