,-4 70 ' Dear Central Folks: The publication of the 1945 edition of THE RED AND BLACK reminds us that another school year has passed and that we have added another chapter of events and happenings to the history of our great school. This and the two preceding chapters record very few events and occasions of happiness and joy. Our attention and time have been devoted earnestly and wholeheartedly to the task of winning wars. It is indeed regrettable that even a small part of such a business should involve the youth of any nation. You had no other choice. It is with a feeling of much humility and shame that we olsters must ask of you for- giveness for having bungled the management of the world's affairs and thereby robbed you of the privileges and happiness to which youth is rightfully entitled. These pages record full testimony to the compe- tency and the courage of Central students in these years of strife. It is to be hoped that you may be richly rewarded in a happy adult life for the sacrifices you have so generously made in your youth. Despite the frightfulness of war and all the misery that attends it. our hearts swell with pride as we read the names of loyal Central men and women engraved on our honor roll. True palriots all, for it is understood. ll'e left our country for our countryls good. --Hauard. 8 Om MR. BEN H. BARR, Principal Central High School Our hearts are made sad as we read the names of loved ones who will not return to their homes. Through them we have learned the meaning of patriotism, love of country, and the brotherhood of all men. Our sincere sympathy goes to the homes of those men and women and, as we pray for the safe and early return of those other brave ones, we ask for comfort and solace to those whose hearts are sad. Mr. Barr welcomes the Navy resting personnel.
