,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.

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
