sponsor and officers For the last four years one person who has constantly worked for the advancement of the Class of 1958 is our class sponsor, Miss Mary Louise Heger. Miss Heger has donated time, energy and effort to promoting our welfare and happiness. She has assisted us in learning Central's present educa- tional facilities and its traditional background. For four years our problems have been her prob- lemsg she has helped us with the understanding and the wisdom of a truly great person. As we grow older, we of the Class of 1958 will appreciate even more fully than we now do our debt to her direct and indirect guidance, her wise counseling, and her genuine friendliness. Wher- ever we go and whatever we do, we will be better citizens for having been under Miss Heger's lead- ership.
