E. OFFENHAUER ----- Superintendent H. W. LEACH - Principal of Central Sr. E. S. POLING - Principal of Ffllllklill Jr. To the three men pictured above can be traced the prosperity and Welfare of Cen tral Senior and Junior High schools during the year 1924-25 which closes Commence- ment Night. R. E. Offenhauer, former principal of Central High school and now superintendent of instruction in Lima public schools, was the most important cog in the educational system: while his chief aides-de-camp, H. NV. Leach, principal of Central Senior, and E. S. Poling, principal of Central Junior High schools, proved capable of running the largest division in the school unit. ' Mr. Offenhauer has shown in his work an executive ability that has meant much progress in the schoo1's purposes this year. More than 8,000 students were enrolled in the schools this session, and through Prof. Offenhauer and his staff, their welfare and education was amply taken care of from September until June. The former Central principal has proved a capable thinker and. it his work in the future is as thorough as in the past, continual prosperity should be evident. Mr. Leach and Mr. Poling have admirably directed the dispensation of knowledge to the students of Central. T ' ' Comin gto Central as a stranger, Mr. Leach rapidly grasped the situation and began to do things at the very offset. He caught the Central spirit immediately and although ruling with an iron hand, he did his work in an efficacious manner and gained the friendship of each student. His direction of academic interests as well as outside activities, notably the lecture course, proved Mr. Leach a man of many parts. E. S. Poling who has been with Central students, in various capacities, for many years, acted as the guiding destiny of some 700 Junior High pupils, who are soon to become full fledged Centralites. From our observations, Mr. Poling has started the Junior High boys and girls right by instilling in them a good Central spirit. Athletics and dramatics were carried on in the seventh and eighth grades in much the same manner as they were in Senior High and 'thanks to Mr. Poling's resource they were a. huge success. il -- Q if g Z-, xf'1 T53lF4,7'LTFT f .l is f ft- X. fs lr .ml 2' +lq,l.flll4r 'gQQTJF?'ii ff.. ff .sr its ' A l 4--' -svfgiltjiife 1 , ' L '-4--. s--. --,-.,,.--c..m....,..-.-
