l DEDICATION To Mrs. Lavine Lampkin, and William Schatz, in sincere appreciation of their years of service to the students in vocational education, we re- spectfully dedicate this volume. Out of our regard for each of them, we review briefly, the services of each to vocational education. Mrs. Lampkin came to the vocational high schools of Cincinnati in l922. She has seen the system develop into its standing of today as one of the important divisions of the Public School System of Cincinnati. Her devotion to the duties of her position has always been unique. And finally, her interest, efforts, and energies have seemed to be thoroughly absorbed throughout the day in trying for the highest achievement possible for each student in each class. Mr, Schatz began his vocational teaching in l9l9. Since then he has become well known in the automotive and mechanical fields. He has always been aware of his duties as teacher as well as a friend of the student. Mr. Schatz is always ready to give his time to the education of the student. His love of craftmanship, his willingness to help others, and his ability to work hard make him respected in his field.

TO THE CLASS OF 1947 As members of the graduating Class of l947, you have reached another milestone in formal education. The technical knowledge and shop ex- perience attained in Central's class rooms and shops should enable you to meet the requirements of further education or entrance into industry. The road ahead is a difficult one. There are Ruts of long and tedious work which offer uncertain reward. The doldrums of hard times, unemployment, ill health and accident will try your souls. The ride down Prosperity Slope will be easy, but the climb up Adversity Hill will be hard. During prosperity, don't spend all you earn. Save some for a rainy day. But with all the vicissitudes of life, keep an abiding interest in your chosen work. lt is a real possession in the changing fortunes of the world. How far you travel on this road and what success is attained, will depend largely on your own efforts. A high resolve to give of your best and, without compromise of ideals, to be friendly and at peace with all men will do much to lighten life's burdens. Success can be measured in two ways: accumulated wealth, and the help we give others. lt is hard for man to realize that what he writes on the hearts of others is written for eternity. Most men find out too late, that the only things they have when they come to die, are the things they have given away. Strive to be a man respected in your field, and loved by those who know you best. ROY E. CAHALL
