Superintendent and School Board To the Students: g - g The high school anniversary should di- rect the attention of all the people to the benefits of education. No factor of hu- man endeavor is of more importance than that of education in the development of man's physical, mental, moral and spiritual nature. Education is no longer the ex- clusive privilege of the few but is now the heritage of the many. Schools are established by the laws of the various states for the betterment of the people and are the basis of our form of government. They are for all the chil- dren of all the people and every citizen contributes in some way to their support and maintenance. America is founded on the right of the people to rule. A democracy can not long endure in a country where ignorance rules supreme. It is the privilege and duty of all who have enjoyed the opportunities afforded at Central to aid in establishing our Re- public with all that is best in us and with all that ennobles and enlightens citizen- ship SUPERINTENDENT WHITEFORD V C Mr. J.
