Romani, holds one of the most important and complicated posi- tions in the school. Any blame or praise that is connected with the school is indirectly referred to Mr. Romani: so therefore, he does his best to see that Central has a good reputation. ,He is the overseer of the educational program, and he also is the supervisor of the building activities. His specific duties are those of arranging class schedules, supervising inter-school projects and intra-scholastic activities. Mr. Romani also Dre- sides at the honor assemblies held in the spring. In addition, he has the responsibilitv of making and enforcing the rules and regulations of the school on which he has done an excellent iob. Serving as a co-ordinator among students, faculty, and representatives of the community he is verv influential.

EPTEMBER Administration Teachers Opening of School First Week Details Students 7th Grade Special Education Physical Education Fall Sports Football Varsity 2nd Team Freshman Team Cross Country Athletic Secretaries Once again these empty, lonesome halls fill with students and the school is bustling with activity. The teachers are busy setting up classroom proce- dures, the students fill out registration cards, the cooks begin making lunches, the administration makes up new sched- ules, and the custodians continue to keep the building in good condition. The students all rush out to buy books and other needed school supplies. Every night after school, the football team can be seen practicing at Houseman Field. This year Central had a pep rally before the Central-Creston football game for the first time, which was very successful. Also, the cross country season begins at this time, and every night the boys are running at Highland Park.

Mr. Henrv Ludwick Welmerink Mr. Ludwick assists the principal in dealing with student problems and in many ways with the technical points involved in carrying out business or special projects of student organi- zations. Other important jobs of Mr. Ludwick are thosex of being in charge of the building during Mr. Romani's absence and supervising other instructional programs. He also is in charge of scheduling all activities that take place in the building, such as dances and pot- luck suppers. Although Mr. Ludwick has much responsibility and is very busy, he does not let it interfere with his friendly nature. He is often seen visiting different classrooms and talking with a passing student in the hall, and if a person goes into his ollice, he does not leave without first having a friendly assistant principal to student chat.
