Whether ii be a vigorous directing of our school songs, or an amusing story about his travels, or a word of encouragement to a student, he is ever prepared to oiler a helping hand.

F R m ILI R R VI E HI 5 OF OUR A CHARACTER IN OUR SCHOOL MINNIE Minerva, goddess « f wisdom, complacent l stands located on fourth lloor near the chorus room. In spite of being armed with shield and spear and having a snake toiled at her feet, she poses as a harmless friend to all who pass by. Before moving to her present spot in our building, she held residence in the main hall of the old Central High School. Minerva was given U) us l the Hoard of Education, and three years ago the Latin Club assumed responsibility til repairing and repainting her. Now, she has become a tradition at Central. I he students have become well acquainted with her comeliness and stately repose and have learned to love the ideal wisdom which she so nobly personifies. “ONE FINE DAY”
