aemee sind ff MR. D. H. WEIR We proudly dedicate this yearbook of the famous old school he has served so loyally and so long. Member of the Central High School Faculty since 1907+Principal since 1936eMr. Weir is part and parcel of the traditions and ideals of the first public high school west of the Mississippi. Hundreds of Central alumni call him friend. To them he stands for dear days of youth, when their talents and abilities, their dreams and hopes flourished under sympathetic leadership, and their little faults and sins were not too severely scanned. His life is a bridge between those gracious earlier days of leisurely learning, and this present, keyed to such a rapid tempo. And now, seventy years young, he retires from our midst, vvholef some philosopher and cheerful comrade, vigorous in mind and body, his Irish wit still scintillating.
