Introduction Suppose it were perfectly certain that the life and fortune of every one of us would, one day or other, depend upon his winning or losing a game of chess. Don't you think that we should all consider it to be a primary duty to learn at least the names and the moves of the piecesg to have a notion of a gambit, and a keen eye for all the means of giving and getting out of check? Do you not think that we should look with disapprobation amounting to scorn, upon the father who allowed his son, or the state which allowed its mem- bers, to grow up without knowing a pawn from a knight? Yet it is a very plain and elementary truth, that the life, the fortune, and the happiness of every one of us, and, more or less, of those who are connected with us, do depend upon our knowing something of the rules of a game iniinitely more diflicult and complicated than chess. It is a game which been played for untold ages, every man and woman of us being one of two players in a game of his or her own. The chessboard is the world, pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. has the the we We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance. To the man who plays well, the highest stakes are paid, with i i that sort of overflowing generosity with which the strong shows delight in strength. And one who plays ill is checkmated-without haste, but without ' remorse. -Thomas Henry Huxley 1 1 i 1 i i 1 i i it , Q x 0 Y s x RX . X . it i Q .eg 5 n w x ' N f Qi is i E L xx ii .Xxg

Dedication We, the students of Central High School, dedicate our 1960 Yearbook, the Centralia, to Miss Sue Perrin, in grateful recognition of the years she has dedicated to us. Many of us, as Seniors, have learned that we need look no farther than Room 335 for all the guidance and counsel necessary to complete our high school careers and to begin new ones. She is playing a most vital role in our lives, and playing it well. And so, we hope that she will con- sider this dedication a vote of confi- dence, and a vote of thanks,-most sin- cerely extended. The best of everything always to Miss Sue Perrin!
