During the past three years, Mr. Hoffman did a remarkable iob of guiding editorial staffs in publishing the annual Black and Gold. We ap- preciate the help and advice he gave us before leaving for his new position. Although Mr. Hoffman is missed by all his students, we would like him to know that his patience and thoughtfulness will long be remembered by the faculty and pupils of Central High School. We wish to express to Mr. Hoffman our sincere hope for his continued success. 3
