The Hyalcem for the Year, Nineteen Hundred and Forty- Nine, ls Proudly Dedicated to Harold Pete Barto I have always believed that Central renders a valuable service to the citizens of the State of Washington. Her recent growth is proof of her ability to render such service well. This is the observation of Pete Qonly his mother ever called him Haroldj Barto, pro- fessor of history at CWCE, who always had a yen for teaching, even when in grade school. Professor Barto's early life did not seem to indicate that he would become the dedicee of a college annual. As a youngster he was interested in hunting, fishing, sailboats and canoeing. Later he engaged in farm work, sawmilling, logging, steamboating, went to sea, and sold insurance. He saw service in the Signal Corps in World War I. Seventeen years have elapsed since he came to Central as an assistant coach and an instructor in history. Since then he also served as Director of Student Employment, Registrar, and chairman of the division of the social sciences. He is now devoting his time to teaching. I have always been interested in people, he says, and some 3000 students who have learned and laughed in his classes will agree.

79'b The Hyakem each year leaves a record of all phases of college life. The Editor and his staff are required to give a great deal of thought to assembling information and pictures. Plans must be made early in this year to cover all activities. This is work for which we are all grateful because we always enjoy having a complete record of college life. Students and faculty alike refer to these books many times in subsequent years. We may wish to find the picture of a former teacher, a classmate or a roommate. Or we may wish to show a picture of a college building to a friend. Our memories are stimulated and pleasant sentiments are revived when we leaf through the book and see the personnel who participated in art, band, choir, dramatic productions, parades, social events, athletic contests, laboratories, and the many student organizations. The Editor of the 1949 Hyakem and his staff are to be complimented on the creation of this excellent yearbook. This has been an interesting year in many ways. The number of students has reached an all-time high. This has enabled us to produce excellent results in all organized activities, due to an abundance of talent. The teachers-education work, the arts and science programs, and the junior college pre-professional programs have all thrived. There has been a calm and constructive atmosphere as compared to the war years. I am happy to join with others in extending to the seniors our very best wishes as they depart from the campus. May the years ahead bring happiness and success. Central will follow you with interest and will be happy to welcome you back for as many visits as you can arrange. Robert E. McConnell , President .
