Jt)ecVcatlon to Victory Our first Centralian after victory is dedicated to the peace and to the development of all the arts and accomplishments that it nourishes: true brotherhood, with an understanding and tolerance of one another; relief of the poor and the oppressed; feeding of the starving; conquering of the political and the social evils of this day—selfishness, greed, haughtiness, hate, and disease; and encouragement of the United Nations Organization, the hope of the world for the establishment of peace and the brotherhood of man. We see the world—struggling, oppressed, hungry, sick, and in deep need of regeneration and peace. To those forces of good which can cure the world's diseases we dedicate this book. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ 2

Dear Miss Thomas: We. the students of Central, knowing that you are retiring and leaving with the class of 1946, deeply acknowledge your many years of faithful service to us. to former Central students, and to the community. Our gratefulness to you is beyond expression. We realize that during your years of service, first as teacher, then as assistant principal, and finally as principal, you have always shown your real interest in young people and your desire to help them. You have been instrumental in bringing about many necessary and worthwhile improvements at Central. Your attitude toward the student body has been one of kindness and thoughtfulness as well as fairness, and we deeply appreciate all that you have done for us. We wish to assure you. too. that your work has not been in vain. Your influence for the highest standards of character and living has gone far in making our community and its members clean, respectable, and honest. Our city, our state, and our nation are better for what you have done here at Central. Nothing is more symbolic of what Central has stood for than your ideals. As we leave school to take our places in life, these ideals, impressed upon us as they have been, will help us to be the kind of citizens the world needs today. We will remember our high school days as being days in which we were given not only knowledge from books, but also preparation for life, and your part in our education will always remain firm and sound. And. Miss Thomas, we wish that the years ahead may hold much happiness and many pleasures for you, not the least of which should be the satisfaction of a job well done. Leader, helper, guide, and friend, Miss Thomas, we salute you! Respectfully. Students of Central High
