THE FACULTY VRIXG our four years at Central. we have heard alnd seen much of our teachers. Xowdthat we are ahout to part from these scenes of our childhood. we can view them in a truer light and with hetter perspective. ,Xs sophomores, we were beginning to look upon our teach- ers. not as necessary evils. set in our path as a harrier to our pleasures. hut as friends. XYe hegan to appreciate the fact that they were here for our aid, for our encouragement. Many of us, during this time when the wanderlust called and when our honds proved eumhersome and trammeling, sought and found a precious friendship with these teachers. Always in a friendly mood. casting aside the cares and vexatious of the day. they listened. advised. sympathized. .Xrriving at that sophisticated stage of school life, our junior year. we fretted and chatlfed at the delay in trying our wings. XYe wished for Utopia. lt was our teachers. who. in these rocky days. helped us over the rough spots. 'llhey restrained. gently yet firmly. 'llhey encouraged us in our efforts to realize life's meaning and lifels purposes. 'llhey endeavored to guide us safely along the paths of fearlessness and courage. Yes. the awakening sense of power in ourselves pointed out to us hy our teachers, gave us a sense of manhood and womanhood. lt was a glimpse into the future. Seniors! The last lap of the journey to he made. It was at this time that something like a full appreciation of the faculty was at last felt. ln the joys of the last year. the faculty played no small part. 'llhey more than any other group. did much to make this last year a joyous one for us. 'llhey have tried to hring forth those latent powers and ahilities in us which will mean so much to us as the years eo hy. No longer do we cou- sider our teachers as heings aloof from our trouhles and joys. 'llheir generous interest and cheery encouragement have demon- strated their place as our friends. our comrades in school life. Our teachers have tried to inculcate in us ideals of citizen- ship. of democracy. and of loyalty. ln after years, when we shall have a chance to reveal these ideals. we shall appreciate. even more thoroughly the hearty spirit of loyalty which charac- terizes our teachers. Nay we. in the years to come. prove worthy of the trust they have reposed in us.
