1940—Mirror—1941 Preface AS YOU READ THlS THE FIFTH MIRROR OF CENTER HIGH School is being hung in its place on the wall of time. In those five years Center has proved to be a school of QUALITY. IN THAT SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OUR SCHOOL HAS TAKEN FIVE DISTINCT FORWARD STEPS. To BE SPECIFIC THEY are: 1. The auditorium-gymnasium has brought many BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES WITH IT. THE NEW WALKS AND DRIVE ARE HELPS EVERYDAY. THE TWO CLASSROOMS ARE SO USEFUL WE WOULD NOW BE LOST WITHOUT THEM, 2. IN THE FIELD OF STUDIES AND CLASS WORK, WHICH IS THE REAL REASON FOR THE EXISTENCE OF A SCHOOL, WE HAVE BEEN AWAKE AND MAKING PROGRESS. IN THIS FIELD WE HAVE ADDED ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL STUDIES. OuR STUDENTS HAVE PLACED WELL IN THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS FROM KIRKSVILlE, WHICH ARE AWARDED ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS, 3. MUSICAL PURSUITS HAVE HELD THEIR SHARE OF INTEREST AND ACCOMPLISEME NTS. VYfc WON THE CHAMPION- SHIP IN MUSIC AND LITERARY WORK IN THE MARK TWAIN Activities Association the next to the last year the CONTEST WAS HELD. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS TWO BEAUTIFUL OPERETTAS HAVE BEEN GIVEN' THAT EVERYONE ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED. 4. IN ATHLETICS THE SCHOOL GOES INTO DIRECT COMPETITION WITH OTHER SCHOOLS. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR RECORD HERE, TOO. WE HAVE PUT MORE ATHLETIC TROPHIES IN THE TROPHY CASE THAN HAD BEEN WON IN ALL OF THE YEARS BEFORE THE LAST FIVE. WE HAVE HAD TWO CHAMPION- SHIP BASKETBALL TEAMS AND ONE TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP WITH AN EXCELLENT CHANCE OF BEING CHAMPIONS AGAIN THIS YEAR IN TRACK. 5. THIS ANNUAL IS ANOTHER THING IN WHICH OUR SCHOOL LEAD OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS. THE ANNUAL PROVIDES THE MIRROR FOR EACH YEARS ACTIVITIES, AND IS EAGERLY AWAITED EACH YEAR BY THE STUDENTS.
