Our joys and little sorrows concerned you deeply. Throughout our four years you have been our counselor, our benefactor, our friend. Our time with you has been all too short. We have learned to know you, to respect you and to love you. And with sincerest gratitude we bestow the highest honor it is ours to give, we dedicate the 1929 Commencement Spokesman to you, MR. J.

,-1-sf- - . fs - . cbs asia? cns U The creation of anything new is always marked by problems of' the most serious sort. When The News was Hrst planned at Central the staff had the same difiicul- ties which attend the ushering into the literary field of a high school newspaper. All the seeming perplexities dissolved themselves into nothingness as The News was reared in true journalistic style at Central. It was acclaimed with the greatest of enthusiasm and the students expressed themselves in clever and competent manner. They also acomplished the feat of editing both a year book and a news- paper, an accomplishment of the greatest sort when the tremendous labors fand worriesj are realized. The 'fmake-up of the sheet was more than a novel one for a high school pub- lication and proved the ingenuity of the executive staff. The correct writing of 'fheads and the strict conformity to daily press style were two desirable features of The News. As a result of the competent work of those in charge of the paper, The News was privileged to carry um scrml f QW 4-V1 -L X B , P Bs A5SOC.llk N having been invited to join the national press group after the publication was viewed by association members. Journalism, although not included in the curriculum at Central, has given invalu- able experience to those on the staff whose course in the Fourth Estate came from the actual working out of the confronting problems. That The News will continue at Central high and later on at Strong Vincent high is assured by the fact that the executive staff had the foresight to train under- classmen into the intricacies of getting-out the paper and also because the faculty consider it more than a worthwhile venture. Those comprising the executive and reportorial staffs follow: EXECUTIVE Bill Getty ,. . .. ......,.. .. ..,, Managing Editor Charlotte Merwin ...,,. ,,..,..,. . , . Assistant Editor Dorothea Wittmaak . .. ...... ..,,. , Business Manager Fred Rose . , ..... . ,.., ..,......,.., ...,... , A ss't Business Manager A A REPORTERS Jeanette Albracht Betty Smart Esther Baldwin Anne Nason Allan Wilson Robena Harper Louise Rilling Lauren Hart Bob Bryan Albert Tideswell Jane Tritle Winifred Nagle Bert Woodburn FACULTY ADVISORS A Miss JoAnna Connell Mr. J. Thos. Phalan ' Student congratulations and the manner in which The News was greeted on its every appearance gives the staff the worthwhile feeling that comes when 501118- thing of merit has been accomplished. To those of us interested heart and soul in Journalism, The News and The Spokesman will not be our last works. They are but stepping stones to something higher. Perhaps to a city-desk position on the New York Times, a correspondent's work on a London daily, a copy-reader on the Los Angeles Express. Who Knows? fMaybe a beat-pounder's meritless job on the Albion, Pa., Timesl. 112
