l yi tv Dr Trevor G. Browne Elmo G. Gerber Mrs. F. A. Bons Dr. Charles S. Purtymun, Jr. Frank Haze Burch A We Grow, So Do Problem Before Central High School could talk about its growing, there had to be a beginning. For years CHS was just an idea in the minds of a group of very interested citizens who served as the Board of Education. The idea became reality in l957, and Central High was born. Now in its second year Central realizes the need for and importance of planning for fu-- ture growth. That's a prime function of the board, our principal, and our superintendent. The vast system of education which includes the Phoenix Union High Schools and Phoenix College offers a challenge to the vision and wisdom of its wise and capable administrators. With new thousands coming each year to our Valley the need for school expansion and finance becomes towering. The board has planned to meet the challenge with efficiency and foresight. We can count on their wisdom and courage. lt is thus that we grow! Salt River Valley has just started to expand, many economic experts have stated. Some day Phoenix will be a great city extending from Peoria to the west through Chandler to the east and south. The dream is fast be- coming reality,and the plans to provide school- ing must be formulated while there is time. It is to their lasting credit that our school board members meet such problems with great personal sacrifice of their time and energy. GOOD REPORT: Supt. Bruce K. Moore and Principal James S. Carter enjoy the excellent rating Central High was given by the NCA board of evaluation. O

Big Problem Were Solved PROBLEMS, problems! Confronted by the threat of double sessions, Assist- ant Principal William Gates came up with a triple-session idea thot kept us l into one student body. Here he worries a class schedule problem into a work- able plan . . . just to make everybody concerned face life much happier. No matter what the problem, there's a better way to solve it! That remains. the philosophy ot Assistant Principal Gates upon whose shoulders has rested the complexity known as the Class Schedule at Central High. When it became apparent that we'd have three students for every available seat at regular class times, Mr. Gates got in a supply of aspirin tablets and went to work. Such age-old puzzlers as how to fit a square plug in a round hole or how far is up were child's play, compared to Cen- tral's multiplicity of those growing pains. Well, we licked the problem with 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedules, triple lunches, and the like. Right with Mr. Gates in keeping our bulging student body happy though crowded were Messrs. Pitts and Ball and our vivacious Dean Risley. Every student got a fair hearing when he transgressed, the timid were encouraged to take part in student activities, the bold were encouraged to help others participate. Yes, we were a big student body in a small school, but we learned to respect the rules and to become good citizens, thanks to our patient advisers. ALWAYS ON THE ALERT for progressive ideas are Vice Principal Wayne Pitts, Dean Lucille Risley, and Boys' Adviser William A Ball.
