Dlrinc the fifty-five years Central has had a yearbook, the United States has been at war three times. Now in the third war we ask. “Teachers, are you preparing us to learn and apply the real lessons of history?” The Ccntralian presents Department Chairman Hutchinson’s comment on this question. The most significant thing about these fifty-five years has not been the slightly more than three years of war but the very great advance in Minneapolis during the fifty-two years of peace. In that time Minneapolis has grown into one of the leading educational centers of the country, and our Central High graduates have had a share in the wor done in the various college class rooms and laboratories. In these fifty-five years. Minneapolis has become an art and music center, and Central has helped in preparing our young citizens for appreciation and (Continued on page 13) MISS DRUSILLA HUTCHINSON -World History, Department Chairman.

CHIEF NAVIGATORS Dear Graduates of 1942: Your theme, Airways,” is certainly full of meaning for the youth of today. For centuries the world has pinned its faith on huge armies and mighty warships. In the last war the subs took us to the region under the sea. Today everyone realizes that all of these together arc not enough, and the Airways arc being called into service. If the four freedoms of our President are to Ik preserved to the future generations, the challenge is clearly to you and the youth of the world. As you leave Central, our hope is that you may help use the intellectual and spiritual Airways of life to the end that freedom may be preserved for the peoples of the world. Anna Belle Thomas To Members of 1942 Graduating Classes: As part of your school life you have gained some understanding of the long upward struggle of humanity, at times advancing, at times retreating. We have reason to believe that the developments of this year 1942 will have most vital consequences in your lives. You may Ik about to enter a golden age of opportunity; you may live in a period of great confusion and hardship. Whatever comes, hold fast to great ideals and enduring truths which will ultimately win in the life of the individual and the nation. Stand firmly for the finer things in human life which must win.

Minneapolis has become a growing industrial center making it possible for a very much larger proportion of families to send their children through high school and on to college. Some of the industrial leaders whose work has made this possible have been Central High graduates. No one who has not lived in Minneapolis during these fifty-five years can appreciate how much our city has developed in its sense of community responsibility for social betterment. How much of a share history teachers have had in preparing young people for leadership along these advancing lines cannot be measured. We have tried to stimulate appreciation of the creativeness of the past, to develop interest in a wide range of human endeavor, to create an intelligent understanding of the ills of society that need correcting, to build a sentiment in favor of international cooperation. We have not performed the miracle of ending intolerance, racial snobbery, selfishness, and greed the major causes for local and international frictions. We are studying to find for ourselves the path toward a better new order; we are spending ourselves in efforts to guide the thinking of students in our classes. This is the task to which our energies are dedicated. 3
