TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH Although George Strack has been with us for only a short year and a half, he has become very well-known and liked. CHow about it, gi1'ls?D He is on this year's track team and is also a member of the Dramatic Club. He was the grass-widower in the junior play, Clarence, and, also took part in the senior play, Nancy Ann. He has had plenty of experience as a re- porter, in both the operetta and Sham, However, he says he is going out into the world to seek his fortune. Here's luck to him? Introducing Williaiii Tervo, the boy With the drawl and the ready smile. Everyone remembers him as the dashing young hero of theisenior play, 'fNancy Ann. He will probably go to college in the coming fall. His favorite pastime is scouting of any size, shape, or dimension. What girl's heart wouldn't skip a beat at the appearance of that dimpling smile? And this is Victor N. Tompkins, who starred in Miss Civilization, '.'Clarence, and also took the part of the mentally- deficient hero in The Governor's Daugh- ter. During the past two semesters he has made a very competent president of the G. O. Those who attended last year's Junior Prom will remember Vic as the guest speaker. Little else needs be said of Vic's accomplishments during his high school career. We all know what he has done for Central and what a valuable asset he will be to Cornell next year. 14 To Q- I H at X

TI-IE CENTRAL FLASH Of' Ruth White, the girl with the perma- nent wave, came to Central in '26, She has been secretary of both the sophomore and junior classes. Much of Ruth's art work graces the walls of our art room. She is very modest and refuses to put her name on any of herposters, but we can always tell them from the rest by that professional touch. But no-Ruth doesn't intend to be an artist. She is going to be somebody's stenog. A f 4 ' 1 i xv, .

He took a role in Mr Bob and played t-he hard-boiled detective in this year's senior play Nancy Ann. Bill tells us that his favorite pastimes are basketball, tennis, or what have you. You'd better ask hfim what his favorite expression is. Don't say we didn't warn you! 15
