CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
Seniors Take Exception

One of the strongest undercur-
rents discussions that has ever been
heard at Central is now going on
among the members of the Senior
class. Ever since 1t was announced
that the commencement exercises
for the class of 1919 would be held
in the evening this year, this muir
mur of dissatisfa ction has been 60
ing on, and as the days pass, 1T is
becoming more and more a general
discussion in every Students con-
versation. The sum and substance
of the whole discussion can be
summed up in this: The graduating
class does not want their commence
ment exercises held in the evening,
instead of the morning, the latter
having been the custom for many,
many years. The class of 1919 want
to hold their exercises in the morn
ing, and there is a possibility that
a petition will be drawn up, signed
by the class, and sent to the school
board requesting this. The Seniors
feel positive that the board will hear
their request, and change the hour
for the graduating exercises, mas
much as these exercise are for the
pupils as a class, and not for the
general public.
Report Untrue
The report that Professor Sever
ance requested the change in the
hour of the commencement exer-
cises is without foundation. The
principal when interrogated on this
matter, stated that, although he
preferred to have the exercises In
the evening, he did not request such
a change.
Nominations Wednesday
The Senior class will nominate
their last president and secretary
on Wednesday. This nomination is
one of the most important of the
six, as the boy and girl chosen Will
be the officers of the class atter the
class has left school. Lewis h.
Rimer and Miss Elizabeth Lloyd are
the present officers and will con-
duct the nominations.
ii. A. Society
The II. A. Society was entertain

at his home, Sylvan Terrace. The

nally decided to be held on Mon
day night, April IA. The destination
of the ride has not as yet been dem
nitely decided, but more than likely
will be Grantville. This matter
however, is in the hands of Ross ,.
Hoffman and Lewis *. Rimer. Other
matters of interest concerning the
school were the subject of discus
sions the remainder of the evening.

Glass Day
The certainty that the class OF

following committee to take charge

Miss Christine Long, Miss Francis
Todd, Miss Kathryn Dickert, Stuart
Wagner, Clyde Hooker, George
Pulas and Arthur Hibler. On ac-
count of disorderly conduct several
wears ago, class day was stopped,

ercises, and Professor Severance has
