Our School Administration To Central Students: Business and industry are constantly on the watch to find young men and women who show signs of creative imagination. The well read youth is quick and alert. His power for creating new ideas, natural- ly, is enhanced when his mind becomes enriched with a wealth of knowledge cons cerning the age in which he lives. Read newspaper editorials, reports of city, state and national doings5 magazine articles which describe modern inventions, business expansion, and stories which are true ac- counts of leaders who rose from poverty to success. You cannot assume the duties of a citizen unless you are informed concern- ing them. Read all the good books you can find which will furnish you informa- tion concerning your chosen vocation. Seek advice concerning authors and types of material, for there, especially in modern times, is much unclean literature which savors of low ideals and immorality. Read the classics of prose and poetry. They will inspire you the fascinating realm romance, which holds of life. and lead you into of clean, attractive sacred the mystery PAUL IENKINS Mr. Ienkins, who has been our principal since l935, is aptly qualified for this position as he has a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from. the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree from Missouri University.
