Spotlight On You Shining on you, students of Central, was the editorial spotlight of l955. lt followed you through the year, during and after school hours, at curricular and extra curricular activities. ln classifying the qualities which make up Central, we have first of all listed the nerve center beneath it all. This is the adult faction-the board of education and the administration. Though seldom seen, their work is constant and necessary to you. Each member of the faculty, whom you've seen day after day during the year, are pictured informally about their work. There's something individual about each of them and capturing this characteristic has been our goal. To each of you school means something differ- ent, depending on your attitucles, friends and ac- tivities. Among those who have been in your classes the past years are bookworms, social butterflies, athletes, musicians and speech stars. It is the amal- gamation of these, along with the part you, as an individual, have played here that makes high school the mad rush of hard work and fun which you ex- perience only here.

SUPERINTENDENT L. M. WIKRE Administrative Agents Reorganization of the school district, balancing the budget and wrestling with curriculum requirements were only a few of the tasks performed by your schoolboard. Besides studying the problem of in- creasing state basic aid to cope with rising costs and maintenance of educational standards, they also had to consider the permissive legis- lation passed during the winter which allowed for consolidation of the smaller districts in the area with your school. Cooperating with the board was Superintendent of Schools L. M. Wikre, who handled the bills of the board and school regulations. As the head administrative official of your school, Mr. Wikre played an important part in forming and executing the policies which con- cerned you. L. Yaggy, W. Loomis, G. Lee, Mrs. R. F. Hedin, W. Swecisy and D. Gustafson made up your schoolboard. Mr. A. Koehler was absent when the picture was taken.
