Hetty Crampton: Life in Central has been a wonderful and unforgetable experience to me. Starting as if on an unplanned journey on the tumultuous sea of life; going through the uncertainty of courses and unchartcred difficulties; and finally smoothing out into a voyage of joy and achievement, I feel as though Central High has aided me in achieving a certain assurance that will guide me in future voyages. I wish to express appreciation toward teachers and friends, my captain and crew, who have so kindly and willingly given me their cooperation. ENTATIVE GIRLS Margaret Archer: ”1 wonder if there will ever he Again in life a time so free. So full of opportunity, So rich in friendships dear to me, With students and the faculty, As high school years have been to nie. All our good times, these short years three ill soon he just a memory.” Anne Marie Johansen: “There was a time when a high school diploma signified that the formal education of a hoy or girl was complete. In this day and age with numerous opportunities for adult education, it is no uncommon thing for mothers and fathers to be graduated from college with sons and daughters. We are beginning to realize more and more that education is an unceasing process, and that the quest for knowledge and truth may he carried on long after high school and college days.”

24 REPRESENTATIVE BOYS Glenn Kelley: “In high school we are confronted with many problems that occur repeatedly in life. It is here that we must learn to cope with these problems. As we have progressed through our three years here, we have become aware that the establishment of friendships is as vital as high standing in academic subjects. No matter what occupation or profession we decide to enter in our community, friendship and amiability will be a definite asset to us. These better friendships and acquaintances that will continue in civil life have been made in our days spent in the corridors and rooms of Central. Glenn Kelley. Gnylen Ferguson, and Robert Gerber were, in the opinion of llieir classmates, the three most all-around boy in Central's graduating class. Gavl en Ecr uson: A complete school life is composed of three important points that stand like the three legs of a tripod. Scholarship, social, and extra-curricular activities are the three points. To make the school life a success all three must be present. The preparation you make for your future comes under the first point. The friends you make come under the second. These are indispensibic to your happiness. To complete the tripod of your school life the part you play in the activities of the school is important. Have a well balanced tripod ami you II have a successful school life.” Robert Gerl) er: “The education of the individual, declare the sociologists, instigates social reform and reconstruction. Since education and training will change the habits of the individual and therefore his character, we must endeavor to substitute life's ideals for the many systems of gaining material success which predominate in determining the ambitions of youth. I believe that this moral duty of education is being fulfilled by modern school systems which emphasize the value of sportsmanship, fair play, and true friendship in all social contacts. Realizing the necessity of a universal sense of social justice, I salute the organs of Central High which support the philosophy of life's ideals.”
