By now you 'probably know that I had the privilege of sending to the graduating class of Central High School for Boys a copy of the President's goals for the youth of America. .x For your Class Record Book, I am delighted to enclose a copy of the recent State of the Union address which begins with a strong reminder of the President's overriding concern for your theme, Peace. Sincerely, ac.,,.,.9f Frederic Fox K Special Assistant in the White House We now stand in the vestibule ot a vast new technological age-one that, despite its capacity tor human destruction, has an equal capacity to make poverty and human misery obsolete. lt our ettorts are wisely directed-and it our unremitting etiorts for dependable peace begin to attain some success-we can surely become participants in creating an age characterized by justice and rising levels ot human well-being.

MILTON LEVIN 5 3 To The Members oT The 2 l4Th Class: As you leave CenTral High School, you will Tind yourselves surrounded by a world Tull of conTradicTions and conTrasTs, a weary world, and a world Tull of wisTful hope, a world in which people are hungry Tor peace. In EasT and WesT alike There is a common dread of a Third World War, and The caTasTrophic desTrucTion iT would bring. Some Time ago PresidenT Eisenhower said, WhaT The world needs Today even more Than a gianT leap inTo space is a gianT sTep Toward peace. This is a senTimenT applauded by The common folk of boTh hemispheres. Peace has been The dream of Thinking men down Through The years, buT iT has been elusive and has slipped away many Times iusT when men ThoughT ThaT They had developed a Tormula To secure iT. The problem oT how To bring abouT a lasTing peace is sTill awaiTing a soluTion. Possibly your generaTion will Take ThaT greaT sTep Toward peace of which PresidenT Eisenhower spoke. The currenTs and counTer currenTs oT daily evenTs will consTanTly presenT oppor- TuniTies To make choices and decisions. Upon These decisions will resT your chances Tor TuTure success and happiness, and upon The sum ToTal of decisions reached by men and women The world over, will resT The chance Tor mankind To go forward To new heighTs of achievemenT in The realm of living TogeTher in peace and harmony. We wish for your success in all Things, buT parTicularly in your search Tor a formula for peace.

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY rAsADnNA. cA1.1FonNm !o the Students of Central High School: I congratulate you on having Peace as the theme for your Record Book. The peaiest problem in the world today is that of preserving peace and prevent- ing the outbreak of a great nuclear war that might mean the end of civili- sation. possibly even the end of the human race. The sort of international relations that have been developed by your elders during past centuries must now be given up, and replaced by somthing new-by the determination that peace will be preserved and that international problems will in the future be solved by international agreements and international law, in such a way as to do justice to all of the people and all of the nations of the world. I have confidence that you, the students of Central High School, and your con- temporaries all over the world will be successful in meeting this problem and in solving it I send you up 'best regards qffltlldf A14 Linus Pauling umm-wwf-A 'r-'r M new 3 MRS.

And if is fhe kind of learning and knowledge which has ifs beginnings in fhe beginnings of mankind: ifs ending can only be wifh fhe ending of fhe world as we know if.

This course may be divided info fhree general areas: grammar, liferafure. and composifion. Firsf, fhere is grammar. Grammar is a game inof fo be confused wifh fhe ofher games fhaf some English feachers playl. lf is presided over by a man named Burnham. who is fo grammar whaf Hoyle is fo cards.

The game is played, sfudlenfs againsf feachers. The sfudenfs generally lose. Affer fenfh grade everybody fires of 'rhis game and quifs. Nexf fhere is liferafure.

EquaTions were invenTed To be solved. We learned abouT subTracTing. which is really addiTion. and abouT addifion, which is really addifion. buT was The same as subfracfion. We subTracTed up. ThaT made iT algebraic. A new cosmic visTa unfolded before our innocenT eyes- signs. MulTiplying a plus by a plus equaled a plus. Okay. MulTiplying a plus by a minus Turned ouT To equal a minus. STiII okay. BuT mulfiplying a minus by a minus was a plus. Why? Two wrongs don'T make a righT. The Teachers gave us dirfy looks when we asked Them To reveal The secreT. We iusT had To accepT iT on faifh. Then leTTers and numbers seemed To give birTh To liH'le numbers which were placed reverenfly above Their parenTs. They were called exponenTs. They Tell how many Times you mulfiply somefhing by ifself. VVe sTill don'T undersfand exponenfs. We spenT a year doing geomefry. IT was a lesson in logic. All you do is prove hypofheses according To The esTablished Theorems. Mosfly we proved ThaT Triangles and Things were equal or similar. lf we didn'T know The Theorems, we invenfed ones. IT was easy. Second year algebra review firsT year algebra for half a ear. Then iT became complicaTed. We found ouT ThaT curved lines aren'T iusT curved lines. They are graphs of equafions. The Trick is guessing The equafion, or visa versa. Then There were logs. Logs are glorified exponenTs wiTh a complicafed seT of rules designed To speed up simple mulTiplicaTion problems. Trigonomefry was a half year course proving ThaT if you know any Three Things abouf any Triangle. you can become compleTely confused. We learned ThaT if you wanT To, you can roTaTe Triangles Through quadranfs. Nobody wanTed To. We s enT Two chapfers doing problems mechanically and Two more cloing The same problems wiTh log Tables. IT was efficienf. We learned abouT The sine curve and oTher fascinafing biTs of informafion. For Those who Iasfed To The end. maTh analysis was The final course. The firsf Thing we were Told was ThaT we hadn'T been doing maThemaTics'for Three and a half years, iusT fancy ariThmeTic. This was a disfressing shock. We found ouT whaT seTs were. Then we began calculus. Only iT wasn'T called calculus. BuT everyThing was The same as calculus. ill' was a lesson in reasoning. l We weren'T supposed To go To college Thinking we knew calculus.

Depending on fhe degree of one's enfhusiasm and convicfion, a sfrong argumenf can be developed fo show fhaf a knowledge of foreign languages can be a sfrong deferrenf fo hosfilify befween fhe nafions. The more infensely you know your neigh- bors in fhis world and can communicafe wifh fhem in 'rheir own languages, fhe less inclined you would be fo enferfain fhoughfs of hosfilify and animosify 'foward fhem.

In this era of nuclear energy and outer space, when war has in fact become unthinkable, no subject could be more vital. It staggers the imagination to think of the advances that can be made by mankind in the decades ahead if only peace can be made secure. I think it can and will be made secure,in large measure because of the efforts of the United Nations. RalphlJ. gunche 26 H--------H-1 -un R. CARDS-11733 STUDENTS ,N K ,A 'g,,g'if +- f X..

In The l958 season, The BenneTmen experienced a raTher poor season, garnishing only an eighTh place Tinish. Their ToTal league sTanding was a dishearTen- ing 9-7. This year saw Two OT CenTral's mosT ouT- sTanding aThleTes- KnuTe AlbrechT and Joel BrowndorT- bring many disTincTions To The school.

Our TiclceT oi admission To This brave new world was The S.A. card-each year a diTTerenT color, wiTh a diTTerenT moTTo, aim, or oTher piThy saying. Aside Trom enTiTling us To perTorm noble deeds of school ciTizenship, This S.A. card was a magic carpeT, whislcing us To The mad, gay casbah oT CenTral-aTTer- dark-The bimonThly - semi-annual - Twice-a-Term - ValenTine - VicTory - WinTer - Halloween - ExTraspecial - Superduper - Miss Mirror Dance. AT TirsT, These dances were only aTTended by Those young 2l4ers sTaunch enough To brave The alien world OT The upperclassmen - besides, a liTTle guy could geT Trampled. Gradually, iT became a maTTer oT pride. We TelT ThaT we had To show our classmaTes ThaT we could noT only bang The books, buT ThaT we were suave enough, and debonair enough To daTe The girls, as well. As we became more maTure, The cheap daTe philosophy became prevalenT. The nosTalgic ThoughT oT our beloved, sweaT-impreg- naTed gym Turned inTo a darlc, rnysTerious Tairyland, in which The syncopaTed sTrains oT a velveT-smooTh combo waTTed Through The garlanded crepe paper la deadly snare Tor The unwary dancerl, and The Trolicsome bal- loons, is enough To bring Tears To our eyes. And oh! we remember Those romanTic sTrolls in The cool nighT air, among our lush and verdanT lawns lTrom whose TurThesT margins - so iT was whispered-some never reTurnedl. TNOTE: AT This poinT, we had hoped To include a racy descripTion oT The J.A.C. dances. UnTorTunaTely, nobody on our sTaTT had ever aTTended one. Never- Theless, rumors oT bacchanalian orgies, spurred us To invesTigaTe. Finally we Tound someone who had had The wiT, The sophisTicaTion, The savoir-Taire, The verve To aTTend one oT These wild TeTes. Too bad he doesn'T lcnow how To wriTe liT was a Tea parTyl. ln our Junior year came our TirsT big evenT-The Junior Prom. Along wiTh Mr. Cohan, we painsTalcingly planned each minuTe deTail oT This gala aTTair. The gym was decoraTed as never beTore. Everyone ap- peared handsomely aTTired in a ravishing daTe. And in The wink oT an eye, everyone had deparTed Tor some nighTclub To nurse Sl.OO colces, and sTrain Their eyes Trying To Tind The show. ATTer The Junior Prom, There was a picnic. Many oT us showed up, and prompTly wenT To sleep on The grass. Class spiriT ran high. ln our low Senior year, we TreaTed The high Seniors To The TradiTional Hi-Lo Hop. The aTmosphere was more relaxed, The daTes were even preTTier, and some Tellas even sTayed Tor a Tew dances. When we leTT, we wenT To clubs where They didn'T seaT us in The checlcroom. ATTerwards, we wenT To parTies. Then we wenT To parTies. Following, There were more parTies. EvenTually we ended up baclc in school. ln our high Senior year, The low lvery much sol Senior TreaTed us To The TradiTional l-li-Lo l-lop. The dance could have been held in a Telephone booTh, wiTh room To spare. Our nexT big evenT was The Miss ZI4 Dance. There was dancing while The iudges exercised Their Tape measures. Then we Trooped inTo The audiTorium, and The semi-TinalisTs were announced. ATTer an enTerTain- ing Miss America-like conTesT, The second runner-up was announced: Then The TirsT runner-up was an- nounced: Then Miss ZI4 was announced: Then The real Miss ZI4 was announced: Then everyone leTT in a daze. As we go To press, The Senior Prom is an up-and- coming evenT. We are all dreaming oT maiesTic Phil- monT CounTry Club and The sweeT sounds oT Jules Helzner. Every one oT us is planning Tor whaT will Truly be The Time oT his liTe. We wish everyone a greaT Time, and hope ThaT no one runs ouT oT gas. Several weelcs laTer, when we geT back Ti-Qm 1-he Prom, There will be a bangueT aT The Four Chefs. Those of us who dare, will cuT up The Teachers: Those oT us who don'T, will laugh.
