HE SPIRIT OF CENTRAL is preserved by the student who possesses initiative and ambition. The spirit of the student also grows because he feels he is helping his school and community. Honors received throughout the school year and on Recognition Day are the results of many hours of service contributed to Central by the well-deserv- ing student. Scholarships, letters, pins, speech awards, and cups are honors which will- ing Central pupils win. The students who serve Central today will lead Fort Wayne to- morrow.

Our seniors will soon take their places in the City with intention of being good citizens and will be just that, because of the fundamental practices gained in our clubs. Gathering in groups enables young citizens to understand one another, gain experience in leadership, and exercise those rights to which they as citizens are entitled. The spirit of Central, expressed in our clubs, thus becomes the spirit of Fort Wayne. We Made This Book EVERYBODY Buys a Caldron proved the successful slogan which enabled the Caldron, Central's yearbook, to set a new sales record of l5l8 subscriptions this year. The Caldron this year shows in pictures how Central helps Fort Wayne. The Caldron serves as a public re- lations medium through which Fort Wayne citizens may become better acquainted with our school. The Caldron, with the aid of club and organization pledges, is a self- supporting institution boasting its own office, studio, and dark room. The pictures, with the exception of conven- tional portraits, are made by pupil photographers. The Caldron stages an annual dance, Poor Man's Prom, and this year held a joint dance with the Booster Club. RIGHT, TOP: Carl Hartup, editor. CENTER: Paul Cunegin, manager.

ENTRAL'S physical education program helps build a better Fort Wayne by promoting recreation, appreciation for sports, and better health for all. Literally thousands of pupils and fans gain emotional lift at our football and basketball games. All pupils, through gym class efforts and game attendance, learn the joy of athletics and the life-long love of games. More important are the study of health and the building of health, both in formal class work and in physical training work. Even after school this program continues in the form of girls athletics, intramural play, and inter-school competition.

The Bengal Banetmen battered many top-rate gridiron teams in the early part of the season and appeared to be headed for city football laurels, when suddenly setback after setback hit the Tigers and city series hopes vanished. After blasting the North Side Redskins the Tigers city competition just proved too tough, and they lost to C. C. and South Side.

Hall in a meeting of businessmen and educators at lndiana University Extension Center. isa Page Our Dean of Boys EVERY student who leaves Central's portals with a broader vision of his responsibility to his neighbors is an asset to his com- munity. Just as you have entered into activities in school, so the community beckons you to keep on living-through the Red Cross, Community Chest, YMCA and YWCA. You will begin to prove a cultural background as soon as you find an opportunity to live for others. WZZWE ll8 RALPH O. VIRTS. Dean ot Boys, Head of Mathematics, Hi-Y Sponsor. Indiana Univer' sity, AB. and M.A. Came to Central in l927. Here he broad' casts over WGL on a topic ot home-school interest. Our Superintendent THESE, your schools and this, our community-both are con- cerned with the well-being of youth, each serving the other. The real basis for an excellent school is the community, in like manner, the school serves, by its training of youth, to build a torward-look- ing city. Our school leaders will soon be our civic leaders, Central can well be proud ot its hundreds who, as alumni, now hold posi- tions ot trust in Fort Wayne. WMQWM swirls Our Principal THE COMMUNITY could not get along well without the school, and, of course, the school needs the community for its support. They must work together for the welfare of the children in the community. You hear of good communities, bad communities, communities of culture and re- finement, communities that are progressive or static. The school has a lot to do with these condi- tions. A wide-awake school with good teachers and up-to-date me- thods, books and equipment can make the community the way they want it to be. filw FRED H. CRONINGER. Princi- pal.

The building itself is in constant use by civic groups. Its teachers take active part in clubs and organiza- tions of the community, serving on committees and contributing much that is worth-while. Cen- tral students, too, contribute by giving of their time and talents tor the enjoyment ot others, as they furnish music and speakers tor meetings, take part on radio programs, and work on drives to help others. Central serves her community well. .gm Page ll9 They Counsel Us WE CENTRALITES are extremely fortunate in being able to bring our problems to patient and understand- ing teachers, guidance and coun- seling directors. They are always willing to lend a helping hand so long as we are earnest and straight- forward in approaching them. We feel grateful for their competent assistance, and they in turn are pleased to know that we respect their opinions and judgment. Personal problems are not, how- ever, the only problems they help us solve. Miss Mildred Brigham, the head of our guidance department, is ever ready to assist us with pro- grams, credits, college choices, or anything else that applies to school and its complexities. Our dean of girls, Miss Meribah lngham, is everyone's friend, but she especially gives her helpful criticism, as well as deserving praise, to the girls of Central. Another member of our guidance department is Mrs. Grisell, our visiting teacher. She takes our problems as seriously as those of her own and is truly helpful to those who seek her opinion. Mr. R. O. Virts, dean of boys, assists in many problems concern- ing school and outside activities. Also aiding are Miss Emma Adams and Mrs. Celia Winter. Miss Adams makes many programs and aids stu- aents in improving their schedules. Mrs. Winter counsels those who need guidance in regard to attend- ance. Yes, Centralites need never lack guidance-and we will not, for Cen- tral's faculty intend to do all they can to help direct Central students into suitable fields, thus making useful citizens for Fort Wayne.
