Central High School clubs in various
large cities of the country. The first
! organized was that of New York
! City, which now numbers more than
president, John F. Fairchild, '85. The
Boston club, headed by Wallace St. c.
Jones, 90, holds get-together lunch
! cons fortnightly and, like New York
has an annual dinner dance. The
most irecent addition to the list of
being formed in Cleveland under the
direction of Urban F. Rosen, 10.
Even more testamentary of the re-
gard Centralites feel for their school
is the regularity with which even the
oldest classes still hold annual re-
unions. The classes of rs and SO
have never missed an annual reunion
dinner and there are several other
pioneer classes with records almost
as good.
AS more than three -fourths of the
Central graduates go to college it is
not unusual to find Washington

in the college ANIMALS, while the Cen
trail High School Club at Princeton
has recently attained considerabl BILE
distinction in college circles.

tact as an interest-bearing endow-
ment for the associations work.
With cartoons furnished by Clifford
X. Bergman of The Star, recent
drive for life membership is bringing
in many others and those who have
taken advantage of this plan include
members of every class from 1873 to
1928
One reason why the membership
dues for the alumni association have
been held so low is that all social
events have been independently
financed. on the, theory that those
whose out-of-town residence forbids
their attendance should not be forced
to bear the cost. The association
has managed two very successful
dances during the winter and now
has plans under way for an even
more elaborate dance on the 21st of
this month, at which the new outdoor
pergola on the school roof will be
used for the first time at an alumni
function. This dance, for which

Good-by Old Year, good-by, So
bid you farewell tonight,
And watch you go with bit of sigh,
But my heart is strangely light,
For in my hands l hold
The treasures you brought to me,
Gifts more precious than wroughten gold
Or gems from a tropic sea.
A friendship proven true,
A hard task fairly done,
And love which lives to bloom anew
With the light of every sun.
And you bear away, Old Year,
In your garments of trailing white,
An old regret and the ghost of fear
AS you vanish from me tonight.
Good-by, Old Year, good-by! :.
Smiling l watch you go;
We have been good comrades you and L,
But you cannot stay, I know.
The New Year stands at the door,
Her promises fair hear,
But still linger to say once more,
Good-by, good-by, Old Year.

Nothing is ever in vain, Lord,
Nothing is ever in vain.
The tears you have shed, the prayers you
have said,
Just mean a definite gain.
It's only a waiting, Lord, ,-,
For the seed to grow meath the chill and

When the wintry blasts are DER.
In the flush of spring when the Robins

And the hopes of World have begun

Your hopes see reviving too!
Nothing is ever in vain, Lord,
Nothing is ever in vain.

LARRIE O'DEE
Now the Widow MCGEE
And Larrie O'Dee

Now the Widow MCGEE
And Larrie O'Dee
Had two little cottages out on the green,
With Just enough room for two pig pens
between.
The widow was young, and the widow
was fair
With the brightest of eyes, and the brown
est of hair
And it frequently chanced, when she came
in the morn
With the swill for her pig, Larrie came
with the corn;
And some of the ears that he tossed from
his hand
In the pen of the widow was certain to
land.
One mofning said he;
"OchI Mistress MCGEE,
It's waste of good lumber, this runnin'
two rigs,
Wild fancy partition between our two
"Indeed, sure it is" answered Widow
With the sweetest of smiles upon Larrie
O'Dee;
can thin, two friendly pigs SO exceed
That whiniver one grunts thin the other
can hear,
An yet keep cruel partition between!"
"Shweet Widdie MCGEE,
Answered Larrie ODee,
eff ye feel in your heart we are name to
the pigs,
Aren't we name to ourselves to be runnin
two rigs?
Och! 1t made me heart ache >whin I peep
ed through the cracks
Of me shanty lasht March, at ye swingin'
yer axe,
An a-bobbin' yer head, and a-shtompin'
yer feet
Wild yer purity white hands jusht as red
as beet;
A-shplittin' yer kindlin'wood out in the
shtorm,
Whin one little shtove-it would keep
us both warm"
"Now, piggy" said she,
'Larrie's courtin' O. me,
Wild his dilicate, tinder allusions to you
So now, we mustn't tell me jusht what I
mustn't do;
For, if I'm to say yes, shtir the shwill wild
yer shnout;
But if Pm to say no, yer musht keep yer
nose out
Now, Larrie, for shame! to bribin' a pig
BY tossin' handful of corn in its shwig!"

And that was the courtship of Larrie

Happy New Year to ALL
Father Barry celebrated Mass in the
chapel last Sunday morning.
The Christmas show proved to be all
that was anticipated and then some.
Chaplain Benson will conduct Com
munion service, prior to the regular chapel
service, on next Sunday.
The weather we have been having of
late is very unreasonable. Rain at this
time of the year in this section of the
country is hardly what we look for, nor
what is wanted.
Christmas was one of the rare occa-
sions upon which the members of our or
chestra were permitted to mingle with the
audience and take in the show while the
other fellows were doing the work.
IN. L. The only paper published in
Alexandria, Virginia, is daily and con-
sequently not allowed here The State
Journal, weekly, subscription $500, pub
lished in Richmond, Virginia, is permitted.
DIR. Nelson, our dentist, as a. result of
his knowledge gained in the past, antici-
pates an exceedingly busy time due to the
Christmas cheer packages and is making
preparations accordingly.
w. D. The magazine you inquired
about is not on our forbidden" list SO we
presume it is allowed. Rural World and
Western Empire, weekly, subscription,
$1.00, Los Angeles; Tribune, weekly, sub
scription, $1.sO, Sacramento; Pacific Rural
Prest weekly, subscription, $1.OO, San
Francisco, are permitted.
The Christmas cheer packages that we
found in our apartments on Monday even
ing were very acceptable indeed. The
packages contained a liberal supply of
apples, package of raisins and pound
each of candy and peanuts-all of which
was delivered to our respective domiciles
for the small sum of seventy cents.
The printing department is starting
off the New Year in the right manner.
The first job to go on the press is one for
$4,000 farm machinery catalogues. Fol-
lowing the completion of that job we have
two other big orders to fill. The amount
of work on hand will necessitate our de-
partment working overtime for some time
to come.
We have before us copy of Vol. 1
No. 1 of Real Courage published by Joe
F. Sullivan of Battle Greek, Michigan.
Mr.. Sullivan is splendid example of
what "those who have the will to conquer"
can do. Although paralysed since he was
four years of age he has, through his own
efforts, gained an education, became mayor
of his town before he was twenty-one, and
later Educational Director of million
dollar school near Detroit. He now edits
three magazines, two of which he owns
himself.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it
A Happy New Year! \
From the colyumist
Some wishes are just for season
And many are just for day,
But the heartfelt thing wish you all
Is hope that will linger and stay;

The day that will bring you good cheer.
Here's hoping that freedom will greet you
Some day, this coming New Year.

For they cannot beat the fellow
