We dedicate this, our 1961 La Solana, to Harry and Nettie McCracken, especially in 1961 as we take stock of our school and recognize the service it has oflered. Looking back, we see the 44 years in which ovir administration building has stood, serving us, the students of C.U.H.S. We pause now to look at the building and at the McCrackens; we also recall their many years of combined service. Mr. and Mrs. McCracken not only have served us, but they have given to us knowledge, knowledge not only of Queen Dido and Caesar, hydrogen and the other elements but also of life. Hundreds of students have graduated from the Administration Building and have gone out into the world with a greater understanding of that world because of the teachings of the McCrackens; that understanding included mathematics, science, Latin and French as well as the many extras learned in their classrooms — the history, civilization, citizenship, everyday knowledge of life and people gained through extensive travel. Much of that knowledge came to Mrs. McCracken in the classrooms of France at 1he University of Strasbourg and of Mexico City at the University of Mexico; and to Mr. McCracken in the classrooms of the American West at the Universities of Washington and Southern California. Both the McCrackens have their masters ' degrees. The diversified knowledge given to us by the McCrackens will be remembered and recalled throughout our lives. ' As we picture them very much a part of Life at Central, we honor and thank Harry and Nettie McCracken for their years of service to us, the, students H.S. 11 Hi P I II II III ■lllllillii llw— l» » |l WE [ CMEMIIBIEIR .M
