In Memoriam CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL 1927 - 1948 Teacher, Assistant Principal, Study Hall Supervisor, Guidance Director LUCILLE SETTLE NAETER How shall we speak the words that show 'The sense of loss our school has late sustained Whefz, as the sun at evening sinks away And leaves the world to banish dark hy other lights, So, too, a friendly light has gone Frorn out our midst and left the uzernory Of one who found the school of life and learning good, And sought out knowledge so she might irnpart Her love of learning with the lesson taught. Not soon forgot shall he her merry laugh, Conviction shown hy nodding head and flashing eye, Her sense of sharing in a common bond With fellow-teachers and with scholars joined To hold in honor-hound and high regard The standing of our city's public schools.

M A member of the Baptist Church, he is chairman of the Board of Deacons and teaches the Young Peoples' Sunday School Class. His family - and Working with and for young people constitute his chief interests. Summed up briefly his philosophy of life is this: I believe that we should make an earnest effort to practice the golden rule, that we should live a life of service to our fellowmen, and that we should obtain the maximum joy from life as long as our activities are wholesome and do R. L. SHEETS To Central Students: not interfere with the rights of others. All of us admire a true hero or heroine. Many heroes are molded in lines of battle, on athletic fields, in times of disaster, or by other unusual achievements. But, we need not wait for these extraordinary opportunities to live lives of service. Theodore Roosevelt said, The lives of truest heroism are those in which there are no great deeds to look back upon. It is the little things well done that go to make up a successful and truly good life. To carve our way to success we need to form the habit of doing little things well.. While yet in school is none too soon to begin and continue this important practice. This will demand our bestiefforts in the classroom, in study, in clubs, in athletics, in music, in deeds of service for others, and in responsibilitiesfin our homes. These in themselves are very worthwhile. Too, if we shun these as unimportant, we shall not be ready if and when the chance for greater deeds may come.
