DEDICATION p r k A spirit of service and love was the motivating force in the life of Mrs. Joseph Markley, nee Alice Meyer. There was a strength of character beneath her quiet, unassuming manner that was an inspiration to all who knew her. Such a force cannot l c lost, but will live on in the lives of the students of Central. I tc in the fall of 1939, the White (late opened to admit a friend we had all learned to love and esteem. She went swiftly—too swiftly for the short years she had dwelt among us. She went silently as the beautiful leaves of autumn drifted down, gladly knowing that her earthly ledger was well balanced. She was prepared lo meet the final summons. Central will long miss her familiar figure at football games, and will long remember the gentle and modest encouragement she bestowed upon our teams. Hut Central will also remember that she went—triumphant. Few, if any, in Central High School, can claim a more universal popularity than Joseph Markley. A man of straightforward sincerity and all-around goodness. he has endeared himself to all who know him. For seventeen years coach of Central's football squad, he is both honored and respected by the ln ys on the teams. More than fust a coach, more than any mere teacher—“Joe, in a personal way. is a friend of “his boys ; he turns the hard grind and long routine of training into pleasure. It is his understanding spirit that carries the team through the season with its eyes fixes! on something more than mere success. The confident spirit of the Red and Blue that has carried Central to victory in the past can justly Ik attributed to ( ach Markley. It is for these qualities of resolution, good nature, and inspiring friendliness that we esteem and salute him. e

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL •ci'r7 ; flU 5 k FOREWORD The theme of the 1940 Ccntralian is “Student Color. The word color is not only a term which we associate with an artist and his work but is a word that can be connected with the student and his activities as well. There is probably no other time in a person’s life when his hours arc so pleasantly filled with activities and socials as the three years spent in high school. These activities help turn the student away from the grey atmosphere of the every day grind by adding a dash of color to bring about a brighter outlook. It has been the purpose of the 1940 Ccntralian to record the colorful aspects of our high school days. The art staff has worked to bring you lively and artistic division pages and end sheets. The literary staff has cooperated with photographers, engravers, and printers to give you a camera’s eye view of the clubs, sports and activities that will remind you of the good times you had while attending Central. So with these thoughts in mind we hoj c you will enjoy the Centralian as a colorful yearbook worthy of the sixty-one years of Central’s colorful history.
