01' ZWOI' We searched for a theme for the 1955 CENTRALIAN which would connote the wonder of our four years within the walls of Dear Old Centralf, The Wonder of friendship, the Wonder of opportunity, the wonder of achievement! The similarity of freshmen entering Central to Alice entering Wonderland was to us very striking. That was it! Alice in Wonder- land! So through our hook you will find running as an overtone the allusions to Alice in Wonderland.

Gezzfrafs acuffy Gomfines asizzess Qyiffz Qfeasure Mr. Marshall and Mr. Barry work closely and effectively with the staff to mould the student, teachers and administra- tion into an efficient school. Central has just pride in her excellent staff of men and women, all specially trained in their particular field and scho- lastically qualified with M.A. andfor Ph.D. degrees. A majority of the teachers, having served the community con- tinuously for many years, effect the continuity of the high standards of the school. New staff members add novelties and enthusiams. The social season of the faculty got under way this year with a polished apple breakfast served by the P to the T of the Central P.-T. A. at the Evangelical Church dining room. Juicy slices of ham, mounds of scrambled eggs, flaky biscuits, washed down by numerous cups of coffee braced the faculty for the events of another day. The autumn picnic, because of a change in the weather, was held in the school cafeteria. The faculty family was en- larged by husbands, wives, children and former and retired Central teachers, all gaily making or renewing friendships, and fairly drooling for the sound of the dinner bell. There never was such potato salad, baked ham, and Boston beans as those prepared by Miss Wing and her classes. Everyone voted it the best picnic ever. Mr. Marshall was carried away with the conviviality of the occasion and spoke for another such affair in the spring. Misses Leibengood and Purnell were hostesses to the girls', of the faculty at a de luxe luncheon in October at Milleman's on the Plaza.-American Education week, the faculty was at home to the patrons at the school. Frequent coffees after P.-T. A. meetings bring the two groups together socially.-The C. S. benefit basketball game gave the spectators a lively evening and swelled the Community Chest fund. y fy I,-fr papal, f effiilsfr CT 2 ,f'll li.f'ii fl J f r ,U -....?ef'i,- r lmifig, e- Q- V r I7 N' ,-'ff' K f -- if . . if ,. fe- ! , V' pf ' 2 M 7 'iff f A i .4 fl ff' T7 .73 W if ff fees..-V-tfT,1.A-is 45-2. gferg if K, r jf in fe la ,ff W sf fi J t . - 1 .X ff if v P H , .Nl ' 1 0 -1 . .J r .
