One-in-a-Million Amid the exciting new faces, interesting classes, and updated styles rose an important addition to Central. Unlike past years, the vice-principals have been united in one unique office system. Proposals for the building of the Administrative Center were discussed in the spring of ,83. After receiving the School Boards ap- proval, the actual construction began in late July. While students hurried to fill the last days of summer with as many thrills as possible, workers rushed to complete their job in time for the grand opening on Sep- tember the first. Maintenance I Advisor Tom McClain estimated the cost of the project to be at least 10,000 dollars. From viewing the i new office it is easy to see that a lot of time and energy was spent to create an atmosphere sufficient for both the administration and students. Mr. Carneai, Mrs. Piveral, and .g Mr. Wallerstedt expressed their desire for a central location where they could work closer with each other and the counseling center. it would also provide an easier access for both parents and students. Although there was a differ- .' ence of opinion as to whether or not the center was an asset to the school, one student described her feelings in a positive tone. So- : phomore Jennifer Drake observed, I1: I think it looks better because it's bigger and more organized Central is constantly making changes for the better. Alphabe- tically assigning students to the administrators was a fresh idea. ? Counselor John Schroeder rea- 1 soned that the counselors are now more aware of .the discipline i side and the administration has I: become more aware of the 0 academic side. These specific improvements help form Central into a tione- in-a-million school. I4
