FORMED AND INSTRUCTED BY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN SUCH ARTS. BECAUSE THE HOME. FIRST FOUNT OF TRUTH AND VIRTUE. IS UNEQUIPPED FOR THE EDUCATION DEMANDED BY MODERN SOCIETY. THE SCHOOL LENDS A STRONG HAND TO THE TASK. Central, then, is the ‘home.' though temporary, where the student feels THE FULL EFFECT OF THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION FROM CHILDHOOD TO MATURITY. ONE MUST BE CAREFULLY GUIDED THROUGH IT OR BE LOST IN MIND AND SOUL. THE GUIDES ARE ADMINISTRATORS AND INSTRUCTORS. In receiving this education the students may make the most of an opportunity TO DEVELOP THEMSELVES COMPLETELY-----SPIRITUALLY. PHYSICALLY. MENTALLY AND MOR. ALLY---AND 'COME HOME' TO A REALIZATION OF CAPACITIES THEY NEVER REALIZED. This educational process must take place in an environment suitable for LEARNING----CLEAN. BRIGHT AND ATTRACTIVE. THOSE WHO HELP TO KEEP IT SO AT Central are the custodians, office force, proctors, dietitians and cafeteria WORKERS. ALL THESE FACTORS-----AND MORE----MAKE THE SCHOOL OUR HOME OF LEARN. ING.

AS LIGHTHEARTED FRESHMEN. WE WERE YET WEIGHED DOWN WITH FEAR OF BEING OVERPOWERED BY UPPERCLASSMEN. BUT WRITING OUR AUTOBIOGRAPHIES FOR ENGLISH HELPED US TO DISCOVER OURSELVES AND OUR PERSONALITIES. THIS GAVE US THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO CARRY ON. During our Sophomore year we asserted ourselves! We had the satisfaction OF ACHIEVEMENT. WE FACED OUR JUNIOR YEAR WITH EAGERNESS. WE HAD EARNED THE TITLE OF CHAMPIONS OF CENTRAL--IN LUNG POWER ! As Juniors we began to realize our unity in producing Neptune s Ball. We HAD THE STRENGTH OF A UNITED FAMILY. ALL WORKING TOGETHER AS ONE. After three years of waiting, our dream came true. We were Seniors. Our ABILITY TO CARRY THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCCESSFULLY. TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO SHOW INITIATIVE HELPED MAKE US THE LEADERS OF THE SCHOOL. WE WERE PRE- PARED THROUGH GUIDANCE. FORMAL INSTRUCTION AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES TO LEAVE SCHOOL AND BECOME CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY. An example of the Seniors1 initiative is demonstrated in our Super Salesmen. WHO BROUGHT IN THE MOST MONEY IN THE RAMBLER AD DRIVE. THEY PROVED THAT the Seniors can work together as a team and obtain good results. Graduation means good-bye. But the Seniors will never say good-bye to the HAPPY MOMENTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE WORKED AND PLANNED TOGETHER: THE DAY OF PREPARATION FOR RETREAT. THE SENIOR PLAY. THE CHRISTMAS HOLY HOUR. PUBLIC PRO- CESSION AND BLESSING OF THE CRIB. THEY WILL TAKE WITH THEM THROUGH EACH OF LIFE’S HOMECOMINGS’ THE MEMORIES OF CLASSMATES AND TEACHERS. SUCCESSES AND FAILURES. HEARTACHES AND HAPPINESSES. THEY WILL GO TO THEIR ETERNAL HOME- COMING ENRICHED WITH GRACES OF KNOWLEDGE AND VIRTUE RECEIVED DURING THEIR YEARS AT CENTRAL.

But the ambition, zeal, initiative and class spirit of Central's class of '55-’56 surpassed that of ANY OTHER CLASS AS SOON AS THEY GOT INTO THE SWING OF THINGS. They have proved their good qualities in such victor- ies as the Stamp Contest and the Patron Drive Their ENERGY AND SPIRIT OF CO-OPERATION WERE EVIDENT IN THEIR ACTIVE PART IN THE OPERETTA AS DANCERS AND SINGERS. They have had also the largest percentage of students on the Honor Roll each time. It was a freshman who SOLD $47 WORTH OF TICKETS FOR THE OPERETTA. MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE SCHOOL.
