FRANCIS S. ALLEN Head of Guidance Department The goal of the Guidance program is to assist each student in appraising his own potentialities and limitations to the end that he may guide himself with more assurance of success in the educational, occupational, and social aspects of his life. Analysis of earlier school records, cur- rent tests, school progress, extra-curricular activities, work experiences, and special individual problems all contribute to the student's self-knowledge. Individual inter- views and group work with the counselor are the media of sharing information. Thus the student is better equipped to choose his course more wisely, to prepare more adequately for his career, and to take his place as a socially adiusted member of society.

One of the major obiectives of the policies established at Central High School is to help its students develop ide- als, interests, habits, and skills making for self-government and good citizen- ship. The office of the assistant principal supports this maior obiective, believing that achievement of that goal is depend- ent on two other important conditions. 'l. To help establish and maintain re- spect for authority. 2. To help establish and maintain work andfor study conditions free from distractions and poor citizen- ship. With these thoughts primary, your principal, assistant principal, and teach- ers, with the cooperation of your parents, have taught you, trained you, disciplined you, and guided you. The future will make the same de- mands of you, no matter what road you take. In the years ahead, as in the years past, you will continue to be iudged by your manner, conduct, and appearance, as well as your scholastic achievement. May the ideals and standards of your school continue to be Cl part of your everyday living. To all of you, congratulations, and my best wishes for a future of health, happiness, and success.

BENTLEY MACKINTOSH Dear Graduates, The time has come for you to leave high school, where you have spent some of the best years of your life. You may not realize that now, but you surely will as the years pass by. Just as you have had problems and difficulties to solve here, so will you have even greater ones to contend with as you ma- ture into the men and women of tomorrow. You have courage, because youth always has courage. But be sure to keep it as the years ad- vance, since the latter part of life is apt to lose it. You need wisdom, because youth seldom has wisdom. It is something that advancing years will bring to you. So seek diligently for wisdom and keep your courage, since this combination will see you successfully through the problems of life. You will have peace in proportion to the prob- lems you solve. ELIZABETH A. CASEY DAVIS E. HILL
