93 qu ...W-ff -' BEND DOWN, BROTHER! Class of '63 is absorbed with Iowa State Achievement Test, second time around, since they'd had it in i959. BELOW: Schedule changes are in 1 demand that first week of the semester. Scene is at Registrar's Office during lunch hour. Any normal day is a busy one at this Central High School action center. Step Lively There. We're Busy lt's in the American tradition that a woman has the right to change her mind. And at Central High, the same right has been claimed by the boys as welll Shuffling of schedules, readjustments, and shifting of curricula are routine. Luckily our Bobcat scholars are given expert guidance by counselors and Registrar's Office personnel, or many a tear would fall. Work never slows down at the Registrar's Office, even after the super rush of semester starts and endings. Class loads must be regu- lated, tardies checked, study hall progress evaluated for those who seem to be slipping in grades . . - and then there are transcripts of records to be sent colleges and recommenda- tions to future employers. That's just a sample!

DR. HOWARD C. SEYMOUR Superintendent They Build For Today into Phoenix they come, by car, train, airplane and bus. And they bring the kids with them! Newcomers to the Valley ot the Sun are more than wel- come, but our Board of Education con- siders the population growth with mixed feelings. Schools must be pre- pared to handle the hordes, and schools there will be. Old schools have been enlarged, two new high schools open next fall, and other sites tor future schools are being selected. The growth problem, though com- plex, has not kept Phoenix from main- taining educational standards with the nation's best. Much credit goes to the Board for its thoughtful handling ot system problems while maintaining those high levels of achievement. Board of Education John H. Armer, Mrs. F. A. Bons, Frank l-laze Burch, Rev. Wm. D. Bostrom, Dr. Trevor G. Browne 8
