Students and faculty alike know hum as an understanding friend and a square dealer at all times, and recognize him as indispensable in straightening out such tangles of policy and discipline as occur in life at Central.

Q DR. H. H. EELKEMA Superintendent of Schools MR. GEORGE A. BECK Principal ln his first year as principal at Central High School, Mr. Beck has become acquainted with Central and all its traditions, while we in turn have learned to know and respect him. Through his increased use of the student government, Mr. Beck has won many friends among the student body. His sincere friendli- ness and helpfulness have en- couraged us all throughout this first year. Our energetic Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Eelkema, came to us several years ago with an excellent preparation through his training in education, law, and business. His progressiveness in education has been proved by his program in guidance, trade Courses, and in broadening the base of instrumental music.
