STAFF Centra! students are rateful for their excellent faculty. We are indeed fortunate to have an integrated faculty and one so devoted to Central and its traditions. It is made up of men and women, experts in their particular field of subject matter, trained in the techniques of teaching, interested in culture and moral standards — interesting personalities, who represent worthy models for their students. Some of our faculty have given their services to Central for all the years of their teaching — three and four decades; some of our teachers are just out of college. Their homes and schools are from the various sections of our broad land. These able men and women have much to offer. They freely give; it is ours to receive!

MK. ALLIS A. KEITH Vice-Principal Mr. Allis A. Keith is serving his second year as vice-principal here at Central, having! come to us from West Rock Creek Junior High School, where he was principal. A native Kansas Citian, he is a graduate of Westport High School and Kansas ( itv University, but he went to Kansas I niversity to earn his M.A. degree. Twice Mr. Keith’s educational career has been interrupted to serve his country in the Navy, in the second World War and the Korean War, in which he earned the rank of Commander. At present he is a member of the Naval Reserve. The school bears many evidences of Mr. Keith's ability as an administrator, notably his work with the cafeteria and the eighth hour study hall. The student’s re-s| ect for law and order, neatness and cleanliness in the building is due in the main to this vice-principal’s high standards for citizenship. MR. ROBERT R. WHEELER Vice-Principal Mr. Robert R. Wheeler is the latest addition to our administrative staff, this lieing his first year at Central. Having served as counselor under Mr. Boyd s principalship at Manual High and Vocational School, he was warmly welcomed at Central in his promotion to vice-principal. His dignity, sense of humor and fair play, along with his impeccable grooming make him an admirable example to the student body. Our attendance and tardy records have been improved under his surveillance. Not content with an undergraduate degree from Lincoln University and an M.A. degree from Columbia I niversity, Mr. Wheeler is finishing up his work on a doctorate. Mr. Wheeler is a native Kansas Citian and his roots are well planted in the cultural and religious activities of the city, as well as in the school system. Singing in the choir in St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, acting in amateur dramatics, and free lance writing testify to his versatility.
