MISS CALLA EDINGTON VARNER I Mayor of Our Community MISS CALLA EDINGTON VARNER In the words of the ancients, a commun- ity is known by its leaders. It is thus no wonder to find our community outstanding in the state. In times of stress as in times of widespread agreement, Miss Varner has retained that 'rare insight with which her liberal administrative policyhas been carried out. Emulating her example, the citizenry at Central has become progressive and has not feared to institute changes which have proved their benefit through extensive use. Page Nin

Parent-Teachers Association T Continuing with the policy instituted last year, the Parent-Teachers Association has made immense strides toward accomplishing its goal of beautifying the school grounds, as well as the building in general. Aside from this major achievement, the organiza- tion has so many other worthwhile interests at heart that it has become more and more an indispensable organ of theschool life. As more and more students come into Central, and school conditions as a whole be- come greater complications, as various mod- ern ideas influence the administration, as well as the scholars, we realize every day how important it is to establish closer rela- tions between the faculty of the schools and those in authority at home. As they get to- gether they are able to understand each other to a greater degree, and be more likely to work out the most beneficial manner in which to guide the student fhrough his school life. The officers for the past year who have freely given their time and effort to this work include :- Mrs. G. XV. Groves, Presi- dent, Mrs. H. Roth, First Vice-President, Miss Calla E. Varner, Second Vice-Presi- dent, Mrs. R. H. Kitzenberger, Secretary, Mr. L. M. Goodwin, Treasurer, Mrs. B. I. Tietz, Historian, and Mrs. B. Orth, Ser- geant-at-Arms.
