RETIRING TEACHERS Mr. Diiljacli became Principal of Central in 1920, at the age of forty-live. In that position he served longer than any of his predecessors, rounding out a full quarter of a century, and giving it the most fruitful years of his life. Of himself and his talents he gave freely and copiously — to his associates, to the students and jiations of Central. Withal, his family, church, and civic interests did not lag, nor were his recreational needs and desires neglected. Max the (iivcr of all Good Gifts grant him many more years of good health, service, and happiness! Mr. O. F. Duhccli MR. DAVIS Mr. Richard 0. Davis was horn and reared in Kentucky.

MISS WYNNE Miss Wynne moved from her native Atlanta, Georgia, in time to graduate as salutatorian of her class at Central. The last twenty-five years she taught Latin in Central, making occasional sallies into the tields of English, German and Spanish.

To these former teachers of Central, the students and faculty wish to express our sincere appreciation for their service to our school. We are sure that they have made real contributions toward a better way of life and thought for all of us with whom thev have come in contact. ' i-4 i « Mr. R. 0. Davis Miss Murie B.
