.J IDEALS As you think, you travel; and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. You can not escape the result of your thoughts, but you can :endure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realize the vision gnot the idle wishl of yOur heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will al- ways gravitate towards that which you, secretly, most love.- In your hands will be; placed the exact results of your thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. XVhatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts; your wisdom, your ideal. You will become as small as your controll- ing desire; as great as your dominant aspiration. eSelected. . PRIN. NELLE BOOHER. mire 1851mm; IMPOSING EXAMPLE OF SERVICE Another school year has passed and the Senior class has issued this volume containing a record of the activities of one of the finest groups of stu- dents 1that has ever enrolled in Central City High Schoo . The theme of the book is built around Lone, Tree, which in its time stood as an imposmg exam-- ple of service rendered to all mankind that passed. this way. May the reminder of. its original useful- ness ever serve as an inspiration to each and every one of us. May we strive earnestly to perform some bit of worthwhile service for our fellowmen that will help to make this world a better and a. happier place for present and future generations. May the members of the class of 1932 contribute more than their share toward helping Central City extend its reputation of being a community where people excel in the art of fine Iiving-fine because- there exists an abundance of kindness, friendliness,, helpfulness, cheerfulness, and understanding.

5 mite 'Bison; 191013an eCHooLS SERVE owns CQMMUNHTY , $$Mr The Central City Public Schools boast of reaching more homes than any other institution in the community. The high school alone, with its 297 pupils, has representatives from 247 homes. In spite of the stress of the times, our ene rollment is but one less in March tdate of this writing than it was in September. In fact, only seven names appearing on our last year's undergraduate r011 are missing from our own or some other schoolis registers this year. In only half of these cases can financial stress ac- count for the non-attendance. How much home study do our high school pupils find necessary? One occasionally hears some alarming reports on the subject. Here are the facts as revealed by actual counts of pupils bringing books to school. Of our 297 pupils, the average number of those who bring books in the morning is 150, or one-half of our enrollment. Approximately one-third of these was boys. While no one will contend that all of these books are studied when they are car- ried home, yet it would seem that our boys and girls do not play all of the time. And on the other hand, these facts point to the conclusion that no inordinate amount of home study is being done. Our high school is also' giving educational opportunity to adults of our community. First of all, it gives additional work to post-gradu- ates, who may enter any already organized class whose roll permits. Five post-graduate students are now carrying from: one to four sub- jects. This number exceeds that for any other year and includes Helen Bryan, Mary Louise Campbell, Ruby Cowell, Woodrow Hunter and Alvena Luce. Two' new groups of night school courses were offered this year. Miss Metcalf conducted a costume design group and Mr. Tuning met an especially enthusiastic group of men for a short course inL'farm accounting, and crops and soils. This latter group had an average of 22 members at each meeting. Misg Long again directed the typewriting class and was assisted by Eugene McHargule, 1928, who had charge of the shorthand. ; Each year brings changes in the personnel of our faculty. As each new teacher finds her place in our school family, we are inclined to forget that other teachers were so recently di- recting those activities. Miss Marth. Holmes, Who had charge of our home economics depart- ment from 1927-1931, is this. year home dem- onstration agent of Scotts Bluff county. Miss Dorothy Klein resigned her position here as social science instructor to accept a like position in the Beatrice High school. Her new superin- tendent is Mr. E. L. Novotny who left us in 1928. Mr. A. A. Paulus is principal of the Cairo High school and taught science in our school last year. The new faculty members who are now quite at home in our group are Miss Bess XVhitney, who taught science last year at Earlham, Iowa, Miss Wanna Metcalf, who completed her under- graduate work in home economics at Peru in 1931, and Miss tElaine Leeka, a graduate in so- cial sciences, University of Nebraska, 1931. While it is too early? to foresee all the changes which may come about during the next year, word has just been released that Superinv tendent Kentopp has resigned his position here and will do' graduate work toward his doctoris degree in Columbia University. Mr. Kentopp came,to Central City in 1922, as instructor in mathematics and athletic coaclL After five years of outstanding work, he be- came superintendent of the Nelson City schools. Upon the resignation of Mr. Novotny, Mr. Ken- topp was elected to his present position in 1928. His summers were spent 'in graduate study in the University of XVisconsin, from which he Was . granted his Mastefs degree in 1930. At the close of the coming summer, he will have com- pleted two summers, teaching in our own state university. Mrs. Kentopp, too, has won a no less envi- able place as a. teacher, a: Charming hostess and a willing community worker. Her dynamic personality and ability in directing dramatic productions has won for her ,an outstanding place in school, church and social activities. With Mr. Kentoppis resignation, Central City thusig'ives up to a larger field of endeavor and achievement another outstanding school man. The co-workers and students of Mr. and Mrs. Kentopp add their good wishes to those of the entire community. . NELLE BOOHER- - Page 4 a a Ce,nmaeialaauamA 95 o: e
