Vlce Principal ,fi . '. 1. MR. MARION G1BB1Ns CReporter goes in to meet Mr. Gibbins.J How do you do, sir '? I'm Mr. Gibbins, the vice-principal. May I show you around our school? t'Yes, thank you. I know that your duties must be many with such an important position as that of vice-principal, but could you give me some information about the school? HI believe you will see more from self-observation, and it will be a pleasure to conduct you around. First, though, I should like to introduce you to Miss Louise Barthold, whose advice and counsel to the students tends to give them a greater in- itiative in carrying out their Work. You might in a sense say that Miss Barthold and myself are the colonels under Miss Var- ner and the school board in the defense preparation. MISS LOUISE BARTHOLD DEAN OF GIRLS Clntroduces reporter to Miss Louise Barthold, Adviser.J I hope you will find all the information you are looking for. We, at Central, all realize how important it is to aid in defense and will continue to do our ut- most as long as this crisis is at hand. CGoes out-Mr. Gibbins takes reporter to office.J

SELF-REALIZATION The following explanation was given: By the time students reach high-school age, they usually have some definite interest in life, not necessarily their career, but some subiect in which they find they are most proficient, into which they are best able to project themselves. Through the program presented by the high schools in America today, young people are able to develop all sides of their character and personality. In the present crisis, it is highly probable that the youth of Ameiica will be called upon to serve in the present plans for National Defense The only way in which we can do our part is by realizing what we aie able to do, and knowing how to do it. Central provides a diversified program which gives each student an opportunity to realize and develop his ability in any of many varied ac tivities. 4 1 'TI Lil -' 'i' .

He will learn not only to sing sacred, secular and modern music, but will develop an appreciation of music which will last throughout his life. He will have an opportunity to appear in such public performances as the Christmas Program, Assembly Programs, Sunday Afternoon Con certs, and many others. One of the newest features in the Aimy is the organization of a Glee Club in each regiment, and John's high school pre paration will enable him to take advantage of this opportunity Elizabeth may have a craving for Music, too, and she may become a member of one of Miss Freda Neal's classes, the Choir or the G11 ls Glee
