The Li ht 0 Pro ress afa Centerville, Ohio, is a peaceful community in a rest- less world. It is not a new or different place, yet new facilities and improvements have been made throughout this year. New to Centerville this year is the Grant Park Nature Center where young people interested in science work and experiment. They have the opportunity to learn more thanin the average confined classroom. Because Centerville is a growing community, the addition of a City Hall was made. This new building houses the mayor, engineers, and police of Centerville, who daily secure the progress of our community. Centerville's Town Hall, built in 1909, was renovated this year with the construction of a new stage and the renewal of the old seats. Well-known for its interest in the arts, Centerville's additions provide the entire com- munity with many hours of relaxation and enjoyment. Each passing season will bring improvements to Center- ville. Our community will keep the liglzt of progrerr burning brightly. Former Grant estate, donated to Community, is used as a science and nature center. Side view of the new addition to the Centerville library, greatly needed by the community, is shown. Community volunteers prepare and serve ox, a favorite food each year at the Ox Roast.

The Torch of Knowledge Spirit and excitement fill the air as the Band 'md Coeds perform Every student entering Centerville High School kindled a flame in a new world of experience and learning. He plunged into this world having antici- pated adventures of the past yearg eagerness of sports, gratification of friendship, participation in activities, and the opportunity to attain knowledge necessary for his future years. Experiences enabled the student of CHS to develop worthwhile and lasting interests, to discover and ac- quire skill in his particular fields, and to come to a more mature understanding of his abilities. Each student differed to some extent in his goals, interests, and abilities. Each attempted to under- stand himself, map the future, and establish a sense of purpose. High school gave him that opportunity. Throughout these four years the student became a well-rounded and evenly-balanced person. He -de- veloped a curiosity of the unknown, independence of judgment, disciplined intelligence, and a sense of reality. High school inspired and helped to mold him into a leader of tomorrow.
