' I ' I Z Z 2 SUPERINTENDENT AND SCHOOL BOARD TO CENTRAL STUDENTS: Progress may be defined as a forward movement - an advance. It relates to the growth or development of anything or anyone. Familiar to all of us is the Century of Progress which convincingly reminded us that the world is making marvelous and almost unbelievable forward strides along all fronts. The credit for this advance and growth goes to those who have, by great effort, sacrifice, and constant appreciation and use of their abilities, been willing to give their best. You must remember that in preparing yourself for the place which you can fill, it will require the best that is in you. You must necessarily learn all you can while in school, not being satisfied with just getting by . Information gives the keen edge to the tools with which you are to Work. In addition to this you must be concerned with those personal qualities which make you truly what you are. Your character is of utmost importance. To succeed, you must be fair to yourself: you must develop character. Acquired knowledge and sturdy character are most desired. To do and give your very best is an obligation you owe yourself. It makes for clear thinking and acting which are urgently needed today. My most sincere wish for each of you is that you make the most of your high school work in preparation for the job which awaits you as you take your place in the world of progress. Your contribution will be in proportion to the effort you are willing to make. With very best wishes, O L. I. SCI-IULTZ It was in the fall of l925 when Mr. L. I. Schultz began his teaching career at Central. Prior to that time he had served as an instructor in the high school at Pontiac, Illinois. 'Upon leav- ing there, he took up his duties at Flat River, Missouri. He then secured a position as principal of the Morning Sun Consolidated School District in Iowa, and later was made superintendent. From there he progressed to Cape Girardeau, where he taught manual arts in the high school here for three years. As a result of his ingenuity and faithfulness, he was made principal in l928, upon the resignation of Mr. R. L. Davidson, lr. In 1935 Superintendent I. A. Whiteford was forced to resign because of ill health, and Mr. Schultz was made superintendent. At the University of Iowa where Mr. Schultz received his Master of Arts degree, he was the recipient of several honors in the Department of Education.

Z S I l , l OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION TO CENTRAL STUDENTS: Since man must work in order to provide for his own material needs during the years of his life, there is a dignity in honest toil however lowly it may be. Every human being must do his part in the world of work, and even the smallest child should be given light tasks to do. As he grows in years, intelligence, and ability, these tasks should become heavier in proportion to his strength. By the sacrifice he makes in their performance, he learns that every worth- while accomplishment is the result of effort. Gradually he acquires a dignity and sense of pride which arises from the knowledge of his own achievements. From experience with the burdens, as well as the joys of life, he learns the value of things done for him and comes to the full realization that work is a necessity. He finds that it is the medium through which he can make a return to those who have supplied his wants. The progress of this world depends upon the development of ideas. Work is a privilege because it enables man not only to provide an honest, independent living for himself and his family., but it offers him an opportunity to put into action the thoughts that are born in his mind. All of the great inventions and improvements of services are the result of man's experi- ment in workshops, laboratories, and schools. Temporary failure, discouragement, and financial ruin have come to him through trial after trial. But as long as he has the privilege of working and a place in which to work, he keeps on perfecting his plans and developing his ideas, until at last he gives to the world the finished product of his dreams. PAUL IENKINS. Being the possessor of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree at the University of Missouri, Mr. Ienkins is well qualified for the position as principal of our school. I-Iis extensive knowledge, coupled with a thorough understanding of girls and boys of high school age, makes him a wholly desirable person to lead us. In September of the year 1935 Mr. Ienkins became principal of our high school, having previously been an instructor of the social sciences.
