As our corridors and classrooms no longer see visiting Centralites in the uniform of the Navy, the Army, the Air Corps, or the Marines, we are no longer so acutely conscious of the service that these, our former stu- dents, gave. Foremost among them are those who gave their lives. In reverent tribute we once more give them individual recognition in these pages. There are those hundreds, both graduate and undergraduate, who left their known civilian world for one of combat, and who, returning, are attempting to adjust themselves to changed conditions. To them, in mass, we bow in recognition of service done. To those under- graduates, who, after entering the service, realized the value of a high school diploma and fulfilled the requirements nec- essary to procure it, we devote a portion of this yearbook. Also, in grateful apreciation we dedicate this, our i947 Booster 7a 1411 Saad
