A new member of the school system is Mr. Morris, the assistant superintendent. One of the main projects of the last two years is the modern and up-to-date lvashtington School here in Centralia. This school is the most modern in every way. It has a new system of lighting. Also another project just outside of Centralia is the new Ford's Prairie School. It is in a lot of ways like the new Wlashington School, with all of the new modern fixtures.

DEDIC T10 With constant driving in developing two-on-one blocking for a single- wing line or with a friendly smile as he welcomed the Freshmen at the beginning of the school year, Mr. Harold Gehrke appeared in the nucleus of C. H. S. activity. Moving up from the Vice-Principal position, he became Principal in 1949 when Mr. McIntosh left. For two years he remained in the key administrative office of C. H. S. Serious internal injuries made him absent from this post. The entire student body and faculty are preparing for his return next year. His cooperation and cheerfulness made it possible for the many student activities and lasting relationship between all the departments of the school.

Wlaldo Roberts, vice principal, had double duties most of this year as he took over the job of principal, left vacant by I-larold Gehrke who was absent because of illness. During the year Mr. Roberts was helped out by all the faculty, especially Dell Russell, who assisted with some of the regular vice principal tasks. Mr. Roberts was also aided by the competent secretary to the principal, Mrs. Norma Loop, who started working at Centralia High School this year. Before taking over his present position, Mr. Roberts had coached the Tiger basketball team. He came to Centralia in 1937, as a track and foot- ball coach, and gym instructor. Only last year did he assume a position in the administration. This year Mr. Roberts has directed the student body with capability. Also he has successfully com- bined his school activities with his favorite sport, golf. After school hours he will invaribly be found on the golf course.
