Hann is the only member of the faculty who is-os been here since the beginning. Many former mem- ber, are enjoying life in various other capacities, such :is business or professional men and women, home- makers, or as retired citizens. The Slache, Aristonian, Webster, and Minerva liter- ary societies came here from Old Central, having been organized between 1901 and 1906. Many traditions established at the turn of the century are still being carried on. In 1906 Frank L. Wilkinson, now state senator, and Roy K. Dietrick, a prominent attorney and church man, won first and second place in Sons of Revolution essay contest. This year we repeated their success, Amy Parkhurst winning first and Jane Hardin, second place. The first graduating class in 1872 numbered five- four young ladies resplendent in lawn and lace, and one young man, stiff in black serge and celluloid collar. Our class of 395, clad in academic cap and gown 125 per cent greater in numbers and the recipients of the benefaction of all the wealth of an ever-expanding curriculum, the latest methods of instruction, and of tutelage by a degreed faculty, have the challenge of the traditions and achievements of a distinguished alumni to spur us on to a worthy life! May we never sully the name of our school and . .

It is the one enterprise in which each citizen for a span of years spends time during his formative age, learning the rules of the game of life. Thomas Huxley says in his Liberal Education, Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of nature, under which name I include not merely things and their forces but men and their ways, and the fashioning of the affections and of the The school embraces six departments of solid subjects: Eng- lish, Foreign Languages, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Commerce, and three departments of non-solid courses: Fine Arts, Practical Arts, and Physical Education. A student could spend ten years in Central, passing each course, and still not exhaust the curriculum. A student may go far in the will into an earnest and loving desire to move in harmony with those laws. Central has a faculty second to none!
