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

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.

CYNTHIA GREEN Main Office ELSIE GREENWOOD Associate Office 'I6 Off CLAIRE THERIAULT Main Office MARIA VALLES Registrar DOROTHY MORIN Vocational Office ice Staff The business of operating Central High School is accomplished in three offices - the Main Office, the Associate Office, and the Vocational Office. The Main Office, headed by the prin- cipal, is responsible for the courses of study, instructional policies and methods and stand- ards of achievement. Working with the teaching staff, members of the office staff collect and 'organize data, and prepare re- ports on the school and its condition. The Associate Office, with the Assistant Principal in charge, is responsible for main- taining discipline, keeping attendance rec- ords, recording test scores, organizing a record of grades for each student, and pub- lishing attendance bulletins. The Vocational office is responsible for the Vocational Division of Central, and is headed by Mr. Krone. Since support of the Vocational Division is derived in part from the Federal government, the Vocational Of- fice must prepare reports of its activities for both State and Federal government agencies. In addition, the office handles veterans in the division, and exercises gen- eral supervision over the courses of study of the ten departments that make up the Division.
