cwincipai-if-l eaai Director Mr, Motion Gibbins Since the play presented by Central first began its lengthy run in 1895, it has had many out- standing directors, but we feel that Mr. Marion Gibbins, our director for the past three years, is among the very best. His forward-looking and broad-minded ideas have done much to further the true ideas of peace and brotherhood towards our fellow men here at Central, and also in St. joseph as a whole. He knows the intricacies of high school procedure well, and in applying this knowledge to his work at Central he has helped make it one of the finest high schools in Northwest Missouri. Mr. Gibbins' readiness to share a joke as well as a trouble with all who come in contact with him is an asset well appreciated by Central students, who feel they are genuinely lucky to have a person at their head who has a personal interest in each and every one of them.
