OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION To the Students: Sir Launfal had many pitfalls and obstacles to conquer. So it is with the high school student. Never give up. Know what you want to do. Make your plan and try it out before you speak of it. Do not become discouraged if it does not work. Be willing to pay for mis- takes. Do not be satisfied until your efforts are rewarded with success. Your devotion to duty will win for you the esteem of your people and inspire them to achieve their finest ac- complishments. Conquer each new difficulty that arises as Sir Launfal did. Be prepared to suffer and to sacrifice and you must learn that it is only a strong and rugged man who can triumph over the disappointments of human nature. Be willing to exchange for the joy of your achievement and for the approval of the Principal appreciative few, long hours of time, strenuous effort, the sac- rifice of comforts, and the pam of hard, unjust criticism which you cannot escape. Is your search for the Holy Grail being a success? MR. PAUL JENKINS Paul jenkins. Mr. Jenkins became our principal in September of 1935. As the leader of Central High School he has endeared himself to all by his friendliness and his genuine interest in all students.

J l SUPERINTENDENT AND SCHOOL BOARD To Central Students: The world today, as probably never before, is in great need of true leaders, those who lead for the good of those who are led. Too often, selfish motives dom- inate the urge to gain a place of promi- nence and influence. The spirit of neighborliness, friendli- ness, sympathetic understanding, and serv- ice could change a world of turmoil, suf- fering, uncertainty, and unhappiness over- night into a world of peace, happiness, and contentment. W It should be the ambition and desire of each of us to make this a better place for having lived in it. My sincere hope and wish is that each of you will make a worthwhile contribution as you pass along. The use of your talents for kindly deeds and thoughts is infinitely more im- portant than the material gains you may show. L. J. Schultz. MR. L. J. SCHULTZ, Szzpcfrilzfclzdefzt Mr. Schultz became the superintendent of the Cape Girardeau public school system in the spring of 1935.
