,i E53 l I 'L . LS if ' . . 'I, My . l 'age 4 CALLA E. VARNER Principal Central High School CInquiring reporter enters main office and is conducted by a student to Miss Calla E. Varner's officeb. Hmmm, There certainly is a lot of activity going on in this office. Miss Varner will see me now? Thank you. It is a great privilege for your school to allow me to get inside in- formation on the school as to their work in the defense program, Miss Varner. I understand the theme of the Wakitan is 'National Defense! Yes, we consider our theme this year of great importance. The status of the world today requires education for defense in the schools and it is our aim to prepare for such. The courses offered to students fall under four classifications, namely: self-realization, human relationships, economic efficiency, and civic responsibility. The editors have edited their book accordingly. As you go through the different departments I'm cer- tain you will see how each part carries out its aim. Thank you very much, Miss Varner. I know, that With such a splen- did and efficient leader as yourself at the helm of the program, this school will go on to greater achievements. And now, may I explore your school and see how the theme is being carried out? Yes, of course, but first I'd like to introduce you to the school board, the guides in our defense preparations.

Hmmm. What have we here? This must be between classes. The difference in students is amaz- ing. Some seem to be in an awfully big' hurry, and others look as if there is nothing' to rush about. I want to see all of the school yet so I believe I'd better go in the office and talk with the principal as she can probably give me many constructive ideas. M .1-R1 s - -- ' ' S' 0
