Central High School - Interlude Yearbook (South Bend, IN)

Page 27 text:

During the first semester of this school year, Central High School lost one of its most conscientious teachers — Mr. Leslie Schultz. Mr. Schultz began his teaching career in 1927 in the junior high school as a social studies teacher. Then, in the middle 1930 ' s he moved to the senior high school. Although his students considered him somewhat strict with them, they were aware that he cared enough to see that they learned the subject matter they would need for the future. His own diligence resulted in learning being made easier for his students, although he deplored lazy thinking and careless work. But there was another phase of Mr. Schultz ' s life that many students knew little about. Despite the long hours he was forced to spend working indoors, he was really an enthu- siastic outdoor man. He spent his summers in the woods of Northern Michigan near Eagle River, and he actually purchased a camp in Canada about a hundred miles north of Lake Superior. This camp, which was originally the Hudson Bay Trading Post, he trans- formed into a fishing camp for others. But whether he was hunting in the North or working in the classroom, his enthusiasm was always obvious. He was very much at home in the outdoors, where death come to him while he was hunting. Mr. Schultz will be remembered, not only by his fellow teachers, bui- also by those thousands of Central students who appreciated what he did for them during his many years of conscientious teaching.

NO GOVERNMENT DEMANDS SO MUCH FROM THE CITIZEN AS DEMOCRACY AND NONE GIVES BACK SO MUCH James Bryce History classes were an essential part of the curriculum of many students this year. To the freshmen the required course of community civics meant a look into the ma- chinery of our modern democracy, an awakening to world situations and organizations, and a preparation for each to take his place in society as a responsible citizen. With so many of today ' s thoughts focused on the war in Viet Nam, the study of world history seemed very appropriate. Many students took advantage of the course to learn about international relations of the past and the pattern of strife, rivalry, famine, and war that slowly entangled many of the griefs and victories that led to the molding of our one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The government classes completed the list of history courses offered this year and provided an opportunity for students to finish their history studies with an understanding of the systems and ideals which have kept our nation so strong. Mr. Earl Kuhny, Social Studies department head, is another example of the devoted and conscientious teachers at Central High School- Above, History teachers Mr. John Poorbough, Mr. Robert Clements, Mr Floyd Kuzon, and Mr. Bruce Smith pause for a minute to study our Freedom Shrine. Left, Mr. Joseph Catanazarite tests the knowledge ond understanding of his World History students. 22
