-1 Y - 1-11-1 ' H: ii- i 2 'I 3 MID-CONTINENT PUBLIC '.I RARY i PUHEWUHD 00000 100010471 THE LEGEND OF THE CENTRAL SPIRIT A long, long time ago when Central was young, vs ithout tradition and void of support save her ambi- tion and faith in life, she looked out upon a cheer- less and discordant world, and while the teachers and parents dreamed dreams, the pupils had visions. They had heard it said that the stars represent the highest reach of earthly ambition and that they symbolize our faith in lifeg and their hearts were saddened that our dull ears are not tuned to hear the music of the stars and that our eyes are not given the power to see the beautiful strands by their rivers and lakes. After much patience they discov- ered that it is on the wings of faith that we rise to catch the beauty and thc fragrance of the forget- me-n0fS of the angelsg that it is by faith that we reach the carpeted meadows of heaven where dwell the spirits of harmony, cooperation, and good will. They learned that life grows like that it feeds upong therefore they visited the star land and sought an interview with the ruling spirit. They were gra- ciously received by the Great Spirit of Good Will. Upon being asked what they wished they trembled with the fear that they were asking too much. They wanted the Great Spirit to return with them to dwell at Central. The Spirit said that was not necessary since he had a better plan. He would appoint them to be his ambassadors to carry back to Central the spirit of harmony, cooperation, and good will to be duly installed by them through their daily behavior, as the spirit of Centralg on this condition: that from year to year there should come to the Great Spirit an assurance that harmony and good will continue to be the leading spirit of the school. It is the good fortune of the class of 1940 to be the ambassadors to relay the message of good will to the Great Spirit. And so with becoming modesty and truth the class submits its record. This record is gathered from various organizations, including classrooms, societies, councils, and the student body. It is a record of willing obedience, cooperation, and good will left with the school it loves.

ed ei' ell ry sm he to ily in : :he od ol. be Jill sty :rd ing dy. md lin ji-lilennnriam N, Miss Victor Ellen Levy, study hall teacher for the last two years at Central, who passed away on October 23, was a native of Missouri. She was edu- cated in Warrensburg Teachers College and Mis- souri Valley College, and has been connected with the Kansas City schools many years, having taught in Greenwood, Benton, Irving, and Blenheim. Although frail in body for the last few years, she always kept the interest of the school child at heart. She was patient with the pupils, thus enabling them to bring out the best that was in them. Miss Levy had real humor and was able to appre- ciate and enjoy the wit of others. She was a person unusual in the versatility of her interests. Most of her time was devoted to teaching, but she possessed dramatic and literary ability and had taken Part in many plays at the Resident Theatre. Miss Levy was active in her church and she will be greatly missed there as well as in her school. The death of this teacher, who gave such fine service for many years to the education of children, will be a suere loss to all who knew her. Page 5 Students at Central High were shocked to hear, the afternoon of April 4, that Albert Lipsey had died during the morning after only a week's illness. He had lived all his life in Kansas City, Missouri, hav- ing attended Horace Mann, Central Junior, and Central Senior high schools. Since he was twelve years oltl, Albert had been a scout in Troop Number 61 and would have become an Eagle the week following his death, for he had passed practically all of his merit badges. As an out- standing leader of the organization, he had been a junior counselor and lifeguard at the Scout Camp in Osceola, Missouri, last summer. Al possessed the cherished claw of Mic-0-say, the highest honor a scout can achieve. He was a regular member of the Sunday school and congregation at the Keneseth Israel Beth Sholom Synagogue. Albert was looking forward to commencement. He had been a popular member of the Senior Class and had formed lasting friendships. His classmates will long remember him for his sterling qualities of character. His was the type of young person that is dignified, yet friendly, quiet, though enthusiastic, unobtrusive, yet influential. EW-A - r l Al
