MISS CALLA E. VARNER Miss Varner stops to talk to a student Principal of Central High School Upon entering Miss Calla E. Varner's office we see immediately that she is trying, in her conversation with students, to help fit them for the post-war world. Our capable principal displays an interest in her students, not only in their school work, but also in their community interests. Her fellowship is felt and seen throughout Central's halls. A friendly greeting she bestows on many classmen while passing to and from classes during the day. She distinguishes each student, calling him by name, making him feel a distinct part of Central High School. We recognize and commend her for her efficiency, intelligence, and kindness-great factors in any community. Enlightenment of student careers by special conferences with the principal develops an untold power for the students' part in the post-war World. 'Houtlfs 'Praise Of 'Principal
