DEDICATION The Analecta of 1962 is as fine a publication as has ever been pro¬ duced by the students of C.C.I. Physically, the book is far superior to those of the past, largely because of the introduction as publisher and printer a firm specializing in yearbooks-the I n te r-Co I I e g i a te Press.How¬ ever the Analecta is more than this. It IS Central High School of the 1961 -1962 term. Its two purple and gold covers bind a chapter of our lives ; not the last chapter nor even the first, but rather the prologue. The re¬ maining chapters are yet to be written. We cannot write thefuture but we can preserve the past. And a fruit¬ ful past it has been thanks to the knowledge and forebea ance of Central ' s teaching and admi nistrati ve staff. To them, and e spe c i a 11 y Me ss rs. G i s I aso n, Foste r Chu rch i 11 who-along with the office staff-have made this a n nual possible, we express our deepest gratitude. The personal thanks of the Editor are extended to those members of the Analecta staff who have done far more than their share ofthe work and to Mr.Cringan, the local representative of I n te r-Co 11 e g i a te Press, for service rendered above and beyond that called for by his position. This book belongs to the students of Central High and is especially dedicated to the Graduating Class of 1962.

VALEDICTORIAN Mr.Chairman, Honored Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Students. We are assembled here to n i g h t--toae t he r for the last time—because we are graduating from this aged Annamary Williams and honored institution. Most of us were herded into Central ' s sandstone walls three years ago as a group of se m i -1 i t e ra te savages. We had, for the year before our arrival, been the Big Shots, the Grade Nines,the graduating class of our junior highs. Then we came here to Central to be awed by our collective insignificance and lack of knowledge. Luckily, though, we all made this titanic psycholog¬ ical adjustment and produced very few mental cases. You see, we are now in almost the same position. We are the Big Shots, the Grade Twelves, the graduating class of our senior high. Next year we will separate to become insignificant fledglings in this great adult world . But we will enter this new worl d prepared: prepared through our social classes to shoulder the political responsibilities of adults; prepared through our lang¬ uages to communicate as adults; prepared through our math and science class¬ es to think and comprehend as adults; prepared, also, through human contacts to be friendly and understanding adults. Indeed, we emerge as completely different and infinitely better individuals. In this process of changing and maturing, our teachers have guided and instructed us. They have pushed, prodded, threatened-and encouraged-when lesser beings would have collapsed. As we shall realize in the coming years, we owe them a debt we can never repay. In closing, we wish our teachers continued patience, our school contin¬ ued glory, and each other new su ccess--be g i n n i n g with the finals. Perhans some of us will become famous.But whether or not, we will remember Cen tral and the light — in Lux sit --she stands for.
