Centralites Study To Learn Putting all other ingredients of the typical school aside, we come to the most important topic of any institution of learning — studies. There would never have been, or for that matter never would be a school, were it not for having those books to learn from. We at Central strive for an education which is both needed and deserved, for after many hours of long work, a diploma is only a symbol of our toil. Studies come first at our school, with sports and other extra-curricular activities taking the back seat. At Central, we are fortunate to possess one of the finest faculties in the northern part of the state. We have excellent instructors who are well prepared to pass their knowledge on to us. That is why one who graduates from Central knows that his studying has been worthwhile, for studying is the only way a achieve a true education.

13?3366 Students Are Transformed Into Adults Four year ' s of everyone ' s life is spent in an institution known as high school. These years are the most important of our young lives. From adolescence, our teachers mold our bodies and our minds into young men and women who are capable and willing to accept the responsibilities of adulthood. Playful freshmen, who are on the threshold of knowledge, are turned into mature adults on the threshold of taking over a thriv- ing democracy in our modern world. Our school training is a valuable experience, for everyone must learn to give to a society such as ours before they can take from its riches. Central is the institution from which we receive our training, and it is to Central that we look for the concern and advice that we seek. Those so-called green freshmen are transformed into true-blue Centralites, members of a little community in itself. Yes, Centralites, it is you who make our school tick, and it is you who must drain the faculty of all the knowledge possible, for it is you who must take over the larger society which you will step into upon graduation. For this reason, we make our residence at Central for four years, a tenure of transformation, a period of readjustment, for it seems that overnight we lose our playfulness, and learn to accept the responsibilities of a growing world.
