Under the direction of our capable editors. Joyce Monroe and Elwin Rogers, and with the help of Sir. Johnson, the staff has been striving to put out a top-notch yearbook. The “Centralian ’ has had an “A’’ rating from National Scholastic Press Association of the University of Minnesota for the last ten years and has won an award from Columbia University. This year. too. the stuff is hoping that the 53 Centralian will receive this high award. Memlrers of the staff were assigned to the different sections of the book, and deadlines were set for completion of these sections. The deadlines crept up quickly and many times the staff found no pages ready to send to the printer. Many staff members “burned the midnight oil trying to finish the speci-fied number of pages. After the deadlines were met and the book went to the printer, the staff relaxed while Earl Nielsen, the business manager, worked frantically to make financial ends meet. When the proof-reading was finished, the job was up to the printer who always was patient with the sometimes slow-moving staff. We hope this 1953 Centralian will be a lasting remembrance of your school years at Central High School. We re really not working, just posing. 27

To accommodate the increasing need for educational films, an advisory composed of mostly sophomores and guided by a few juniors and seniors, handles the projection of movies. Besides educational films such as: “The Molecular Theory of Matter and “Making Electricity, ’ movies of a lighter vein such as: “Drums Along the Mohawk and “Tale of Two Cities” are shown. The 16 mm. sound projector is most often used, while the 16 mm. art projector is used l y the English department. Besides the 16 mm., the art department uses the opaque projector.
