Central High School - Prospectus Yearbook (Flint, MI)

Page 18 text:

To the Students Fine school traditions are difficult to establish and easy to destroy. To have these traditions attractively portrayed in picture and story, and bound into a permanent volume has much to do with carrying them over from one school generation to another. It is not the student body, which goes through a complete change every three or four years, that makes Central High School. Neither is it the faculty, nor the building, nor the campus. A few years ago we left our outgrown building and grounds behind us when we moved to our present wonderful campus. The faculty undergoes a gradual change from year to year. But throughout all these changes there continues something which we call Central High School. This something is made up of the worthwhile school habits, customs, and ideals which are passed along from group to group, despite the changes in student body, faculty, or equipment- Without the preservation of these traditions Central High School would mean vastly less to its students and alumni. Throughout the thirty years of its existence the Prospectus has been one constant factor in the life of the school, bringing forward from year to year that fine thing which has made our school mean the same thing to us that it meant to pupils of thirty years ago. It is a pleasure to me to see the 1928 Prospectus take its place as a link in this chain. Page 14

Mr. C. V. Courier, superintendent of schools, has an enviable record in the field of education. Having received his bachelor's degree from Kalamazoo College, he became principal of Central High School in 1921. For four years he filled this office, until in 1926 he was appointed to the position of superintendent of schools. Mr. Courier has received his Master's degree from Columbia University. For five years now Miss Florence E. Riddell has figured in the history of Flint Central High School. In 1923 she took up her duties as dean of girls, a position in which she served faithfully until 1926 when she became assistant principal which is her present office. Miss Riddell received her Bachelor's degree at the University of Nebraska. With admirable capacity Miss Grace Pinel has held the office of dean of girls for two years. Previous to this, she taught French and activity classes in Central High School. Miss Pinel, like Mr. (.ourtcr, is also a graduate of Kalamazoo, where she received her B. A. degree. Page 15
