. . . the Dean of Girls Mrs. Dorothy Graham . . . the Vice-Principal Mr. George Markley is one psychology teacher who needs to use psychology. Since the begin- ning of the second semester this year Mr. Mark- ley has suffered a split personality-being vice- principal in the morning and principal in the afternoon. This situation exists because of Mr. Markley's promotion as principal of Central. This promotion will be Wholly in effect next year. Until then, our Vice-principal will continue doing the wonderful job of being psychology teacher, vice-principal, and principal which has won him the respect and friendship of all stu- dents. Supervising more than six hundred teen-age girls is no easy task, as Mrs. Dorothy Graham will quickly attest. For Central's Dean of Girls, besides teaching speech and sponsoring Student Council, is responsible for the well-being of each girl at Central. Girls regard Mrs. Graham as a close friend rather than as an administrator, for she takes a personal interest in each girl. This interest is supplemented by an understanding, sympathetic attitude plus a grand sense of hu- mor. Mr. George Markley Page 8

. . . THE PRINCIPAL J'-ff K Mr. Gibbins at Work. The fact that Central High School is one of the finest schools in this part of the country can be attributed to many factors, among which are the faculty, the students themselves, and the tra- ditions which they strive to maintain. The chief factor, however, is that Central has had the good fortune of being headed by fine principals, who have set themselves permanently into the memories and traditions of our school. Mr. Gib- bins, who is spending his last year at Central, will also be remembered in the same manner. For those who are attending Central this year, Mr. Gibbins will be remembered as a person as Well as an administrator. Those who will enter Central later will not remember him as such, but they will all be affected by those traditions which Mr. Gibbins has helped to establish. Central High School is not merely a building, a staff of teachers, or a body of students. To think of Central is to include her history and traditions, her standards and ideals, and her goals and achievements along with all those people who ha.ve ever called themselves Centralites. Each person who dwells within her walls adds to Central something of himself. Each person Page 7 a W--w-M-...,, '- '-'--0... Marion E. Gibbins who leaves, takes from her some small part which remains forever his own. Those who graduate this year can feel justly proud of the additions they have made. May it ever be thus and may that part which each takes with him bring true happiness as the years unfold. M. E. GIBBINS
