0l 8lfU0l WE THE STUDENTS OF CENTRAL, IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT STUDENT BODY, ESTABLISH JUSTICE, ENSURE TRANQUILLITY, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, AND ENSURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY, FOR OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY, DO HEREBY ORDAIN AND ESTABLISH THIS EDITION OF THE BLACK AND GOLD. As future citizens of America, we, the students of Central, have a great responsibility on our shoulders. We live in a country where the government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Because we are a part of the people, we must carry our part of the responsibility in order that this form of government, which has given us greater liberties, greater opportunities, and greater advantages, may continue to be successful. This is why we, students now and citizens tomor- row, must prepare for the future - a future where each must accept his share of the task of the adult voter, and help prove to all the world that no form of government can offer more than ours.

THE is a symbol rd which enioy under a ,represents a proud a loose robe falling In graceful to the base of the statue. Raised high inthe air, her right arm holds a torch of freedom, while in her left arm is a tablet which bears the date of the Declaration of Independence. At her foot, seldom seen, is a broken chain, a symbol of the bonds which chain a people struggling for their lib- erty. l This symbol of liberty, shedding light upon the world, stands in New York Harbor to welcome all passengers to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Part of the inscription on her pedestal reads - Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teaming shores. Send these, the harmless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! Photo courtesy of New York Con- vention and Visitors Buredu.

.xdclm in id frafion ana! Super IN APPRECIATION We, the graduating class of l96O, would like to take this opportunity to extend to Mr. Edward F. McLaughlin our deep appreciation for all that he has done for us during our three years at Central. Mr. McLaughlin, who has been Principal ot Central for three years, has helped make our stay a pleasurable and profitable one. Without his advice and co-operation, we feel that many of the delightful experiences of our three years at Central would not have occurred, and many of the pleasant memories we now share could not be. We will always remember Mr. McLaughlin for his many kindnesses, for his friendliness, and for his deep devotion to Central and to the cause of education, but most of all we will remember him for his sincere interest in those students in his charge.
