MR. PAUL M. MARSHALL, Principal Central High School is a well-constructed building erected some forty years ago by a community that cared and wanted her young people to have the best preparation for the future. Located in a community where men of vision dreamed of the future when this city of moderate size would cover much of the farmlands around, with factories, office buildings, parks, schools, churches, and homes. They dreamed that the boys and girls in Central and other schools of the community would continue that dream. That they, too, would dream of the future The fathers and mothers in the early days dreamed truly; the boys and girls then in Central carried our their dream of a great city. Fathers and mothers still dream and they are dreoming of your future and the community in which you live. Such is life, and that future is before our Seniors today as they leave the halls of Central. What will the future be? Will you carry on and see that the boys ond girls of the future have on opportunity in a community that cares about where they live, that they have a wholesome community, an opportunity to work and play, a place to worship? It is in your hands what Kansas City is a half century in the future. MR. GIRARD T. BRYANT, Vice Principal No age is as challenging as the present; none has offered greater opportunity to the truly inspired person. Technological society con be organized only around trained and disciplined minds. The future offers little for the laggard. It is my fervent hope that every Central graduate of the class of '59 shall, in some way, great or small, make his or her unique contribution to this astounding era. MR. GAYLE T. CHUBB, Vice Principal During these days of national tension the schools are challenged at every turn to train pupils to meet the needs of the country. Central is doing an excellent job in preparing boys ond girls to be successful in their future careers. You, the members of the senior class of 1959, have the potential to fashion your own lives so that you will be a credit to your school, your family, your friends, and your nation.
