The fact that Central High does not conform to modern standards of high school buildings did not daunt the courage of the members of the class in their search for success. What cared they for gymnasiums, swim- ming pools, and stadiums when it was really the spirit of the thing that counted? Never say die was the spirit they pos- sessed and with this thought in mind, despite numerous diffi- culties, they slowly but surely reached the zenith of success.
