You know too, that it was founded to promote our conversational French. It certainly has. More than that, because it is such a pleasure to belong to this ex- clusive circle our marks have remained above the required grade an entire year- which goes to show that altho the meetings are a good time from start to finish, there is an undercurrent of seriousness. In order to be understood it is neces- sary that we conjugate our verbs correctly and that we remember where to put the adjectives Cetcl Gur motto, Parle ou Pars , means - speak or get out! On May 8th occurred the initiation for new members, of which I am sure you have heard. Our French initiation was very different from the general run of such affairs. Each new member was guillotined. While in the upper regions for lowerl, he was forced to eat the ears, eyes, t-eeth, and intestines of those unfortunates who had preceded him. As a fitting close for the program for this year, the members went to- New York to dine in a typical French restaurant and attend' a popular musical comedy, Fifty Million Frenchmenf' The officers of the club are Pat Giamerese, president 5 Larry Lobdell, vice- president-3 Helen Dowdeswell, secretary, and Bill Berghofer, treasurer.

For a long time we've been wondering about the bruised hands and broken finger nails of a good many members of the fairer sex. But it's out at last! Mr. Kennedy is organizing a girls' baseball team. With the disappearance of the old cloakrooms, couples were put to a serious disadvantage. But as someone once remarked, 'fTrue love surmounts all ob- stacles. They're using the balcony of the auditorium instead. Boerchel seems to have an incurable case of financitis. We thought the magazine contest had cured him, but hels had a bad attack recently.

Our Pepsodent Pat has just let it leak out that she intends to start a class for vamping B-oy Scouts. Now we understand the meaning of that devilish hair- cut. We've got your number, Pat.

THE CENTRAL FLASH c ART CLUB Well, another Art Club party has taken place! However, it wasn't a Nut Party this time, Bunco and bridge were played during the course of the evening, and the band boys fthose lucky enough not to go home too soon after rehearsal! were invited to join in the fun and help finish up the cake. They did-ask Riddick, he knows! This Art Club works too! The members made posters for the junior play and the musicale. Just before Easter they made Easter cards and menu cards for the disabled veterans at Northport. They're worth their salt! . On Saturday morning, May 10, a group of about a dozen students stood on the platform at track three and joyously awaited the 10:5-1. Who were they? None -other than the Art Club bound on the long-awaited trip- to the Metro- politan Museum of Art. After gorging themselves with chow mein at the Palais d'Or, they hustled off to the museum to examine the masterpieces. Did they have a good time? Ask Johanna.. The members of the Art Club wish to express their gratitude to the Music Department for the gift presented to them a short time ago and for the hearty co-operation shown them in the past. Lois Corwin. THE HIKING CLUB The Hiking Club is one of Central's organizations that helped to put her on the front page. The girls have traveled far and wide over this Long Island of ours, carrying with them the songs and praises for Our Old High . Out of a group of about fifteen members, eight have come through with their three hundred and fifty miles. This is quite remarkable considering the weather we have had during the past winter. These girls have made a good, though rather unobtrusive, showing and are looking forward to a bigger and better club next year. The officers are Margaret Luca, president, Helen Dowdeswell, vice- president, and Helen Carey, secretary. Those who have earned their letters are Margaret Luca, Helen Dowdeswell, Ruth Peterson, Patricia Giamerese, Katherine Hoerschelman, Olga Petrovics, Betty Natvig, and Martha Karr. Betty N otvig. THANK YOU! The editor would like to take this opportunity to thank several people for their invaluable aid in putting out this issue. First, I wish to thank Miss Sly for the co-operation she has shown us during the past, second, I would like to thank Patricia Giamerese for starting the Flash off on a successful, new basis. We greatly ap-preciate the time and effort that Vincent Riddick and Lois Corwin have spent on the two new cuts published in this issue. They have started us on the road to bigger and bet-ter cuts. Winfield Boerchel, our advertising manager, is deserving of much praise for the way in which he has helped supply the financial end of this publication. Without the aid of these people, it would have been quite impossible to publish this paper. Again I say, Thank you! ' 32
