For the East and West, the North and South, Toledo, situated on a natural harbor in the center of the glass industry of the world, offers trade access to the Sea. While coal, machinery, grain and glass are sent out, other materials such as cheese, iron ore, gravel and petroleum come here and are transported by rail, plane or boat to all parts of the United States. In many ways Central, our Key to Catholic Co-education, resembles Toledo, our Key to the Sea. All goods brought to the Toledo harbor must be sorted and prepared for the correct port. Trained men andwomen carry on this Work under the supervision of the port authorities. Similarly, Centralis faculty, under the guidance of our principal, Monsignor Harrington, receives the students and prepares them for their place in the future of Toledo. As the many bridges over its river connect focal points in the city and enable adequate transportation of materials to the dock so do the students, who come from various sections of the city, link the Catholic parishes, the vital points of Catholic education, with Central. High in the office buildings, which cluster near the port the cityls master minds are planning and guiding the Work needed for the completion of our port to the Sea. At Central, in the classroom, the students are endeavoring to prepare them- selves to become useful educated men and Women in our city. On the huge loading docks, the machinery on the Waterfront must be strong and in order to stay that Way it must be kept in top Working condition. Youth must be strengthened for its part in life and the Sports program prescribes long hours of strenuous, body-building calisthenics to sustain the athlete's best form. As the networks of railroads, channeling goods from distant places and parts of the city, aid in building up the docks, so too, the many organizations at Central, offering participation and leadership in the extra-curricular activities help students in becoming better citizens. Proudly, We point to Toledo i'Key to the Sea and to its counterpart Central 6'Key to Catholic Co-education.

Page 4 Dedication Frequently, when We speak of a school We mention its faculty and student body, omitting the men and women Who are necessary in maintaining it. In Central, though not in the classroom, these men and Women devote their lives to our Catholic education. One, such person, is Miss Catherine Schubert. Miss Schubert, who came from Good Shepherd, is herself a graduate of Central. Here, as a senior, she edited a column for the Centric, was the girls' sports editor for the Centripetal, held the position of class treasurer, and was a member of the Mission Society. She also captained the girls, varsity basketball team, and did a gypsy dance in the senior class play, t'Peggy. As Monsignor Harrington's secretary, Miss Schubert has shown an active interest in the school, the faculty, and the student body. Many of her suggestions for Central's betterment are in effect today. The words of Christ, As long as you did it for these, the least of My brethren, you did it for Me, apply Well to her. And so, as you have dedicated your life to Central Catholic High School, We, the Centripetal Staff, dedicate this, the 1958 Centripetal, to you, Miss Catherine Schubert.
