To The Seniors: You are completing your studies at Central at the same time that Cen- tral is completing twenty-five years of service to business and to the com- munity. This, therefore, marks a special epoch in your lives and should be a constant reminder to you of the generosity of a great city in providing a service to its citizens that prepares them for useful occupational compe- tencies, as well as preparing them to assume intelligent participation in the activities of a great nation. Central has served Qboth youth and adultsj well these many years, and the pride we have in this service is reflected in the satisfactory service our graduates are rendering to the connnunity. Thousands of letters from the graduates are on file, and they express to us a grand 'iThank Y oui' for the education they received at Central. Nile say to them and to you gradu- ates of June 1950, Thank You for permitting us to serve you. A. S. Afassell 4 if ,F .9 ff' H yy fp 'iff g L-Q,-g,Q e -t,,.,v'...,,-Q-, 1,Jg,,.lL,.f he

I made inquiries as to where the school was and was told to take the freight elevator up to the third floor. I got off the elevator and saw nothing. I asked a man where the school was, and he said, I am he. I asked where the student body was, and he said, There he is standing near the typewriter. That was my first day as a substitute at the Central Commercial Continuation School with Mr. Massell. Under Mr. Massell's guidance and despite my efforts, the school has grown over the years in both size and importance. Today, we have over two thousand pupils instead of one, and more than one thousand pieces of equipment as well. I, too, have grown in size and weightg have a wife, two grown-up chil- dren, gray hair, and an uncertain disposition. In the old days, Central Commercial Continuation School had many annexes.
