Work— changing Juveniles Before they have received their high school diplomas, many students are al- ready involved in the world of work. They have discovered, early, the responsibilities, the hardships, and the rewards of the busi- ness world. They have regulated their lives to cope with the many problems of work- ing as well as the duties of school. The business world has shaped the lives of Central students and has given them an idea of what lies ahead on the road to the future. They have discovered a new aspect of life in which they find a new feeling of fulfillment in return for their labors. The experiencing of a sweating brow or a calloused hand has transformed many a care-free and immature sophomore into a responsible young adult. Often a part-time job affords students the opportunity to learn on expensive office equipment not available in the school. Ora Jean Blunt uses the Zerox machine as a regular part of her work at the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce. The disc jockey ' s job is not an easy one, as Larry Whitt discovers on the job at WOWO. Obtained through Central ' s industrial cooperative program, this work has given Larry the chance to decide whether or not the field of radio technology would interest him as permanent work. i . t«... : Also employed at WOWO, Ernestine Hicks sees the behind the scenes jobs at a radio station as she works with taped advertisements used by the disc jockeys. 6-Student Life

Youth— Core of Life ' s Circle Birth, then adolescence, then youth, and then manhood: the cycle of human- ity, a heritage of each generation. Youth is an integral link in the chain of man- kind, the foundation of the new frontier, the center of life ' s activity. It is during youth we shed our adolescence and don our shell of manhood. Our minds are probed; we wonder what will be and we aspire to become. It is then that we begin to mature— to develop our destiny. It is also then that education becomes the means to our end and the heart of our existence— a heart that beats within the halls of Central, the Center of Our Lives. City parks like Hanna Homestead are the scenes for many out-of-season basketball games during lazy summer afternoons.
