Congratulations to the students and faculty upon the fiftieth birthdate of Central High School of Duluth. Since the public schools of this nation were established only a little more than a century ago, Central High School may be considered as among the older high schools in the nation. ln the half century consider- able progress has been made and credit should be given to the devotion and the inspiration of the faculties. Many graduates have attained prom- inence and have been a credit not only to themselves, to their parents, and to the community, but also to the school. May the Class of i943 be inspired by the fact that this class has the dis- tinction of graduating from Central High School a half century after its establishment. Well wishes are ex- tended to the entire student body and faculty. May the traditions of the past continue to be upheld, an inspiration to all those who are to follow this generation of students and who will continue to participate in the progress and growth of Central High School in the future. YE. W f Wm. . '3' DR. H. H. EELKEMA Superintendent of Schools Issuing over 600 work permits this year, giving out early dismissal and inter- class tardiness slips, checking class ab- sences, helping girls through advice and action, representing Central on various civic committees, and acting as nurse in the absence of our regular nurse - that's Mrs. Benson. What Central student has not received a slip sometime signed with the familiar Mrs. W. H. B. ? He who is true to the best he knows today will know a better best tomorrow is Mrs. Benson's philosophy.
