THE STUDENT An Individual Thirteen hundred individual students join together in aca- demics, activities, affiliations, and athletics to form Central High School. Yet Central High School focuses its attention on the individual student. As he participates in classes, social and service activ- ities, organizations, and sports; he develops the personality, char- acter, and knowledge which will be associated with him for the rest of his life. Academics, activities, affiliations, athletics —each is respon- sible for contributing to the intellectual curiosity, social maturity, leadership ability, and competitive spirit of the individual. By photographically presenting the experiences that help mold the individual student, the picture of Central High School emerges.

ACADEMICS Each student’s academic life is the nucleus of his high school career. Through courses in the humanities, nat- ural sciences, and social studies; through practice in in- dustrial arts and home economics; through activities in physical education and ROTC; each student develops his intellectual curiosity and adds to his knowledge. It is within the classroom where the student performs as an individual and it is here emphasis is placed on the well-known individual differences. Here, in addition to essential facts and ideas neces- sary for knowledge, the student learns reasoning, accu- racy, originality, and curiosity. Here he learns to question, to seek, to examine, and to think.
