The Annual wishes to pay due tribute to the bod of Y gentlemen which administrates the schools of the city of Lima. l Because of the unfortunate financial situaf tion with which we are all too familiar, the l activities of the board have been badly cur' tailed. The building program has been tem' F E KELLEY I porarily abandoned, the plans for the purf ' ' chase of suitable school sites of a necessity have been laid aside, l and little save the imperative expenditures of upkeep, could be ' allowed. Although every step has been taken l to keep our system in operation, the work l R. A. BUCHANAN has gone on under the gravest of difficulties. Throughout the many crises that have arisen, Dr. Buchanan has been the steadfast leader. It is doubtful K if Lima Schools realize the extent of his services, the responsibilities shouldered by him and the difficulties which he has mastered. To I him belongs much of the credit for keeping the schools open at all. r Day after day as we see the great, educaf -il tional system of the nation operating its schools L- G- MAY A efficiently and quietly, we forget the labor, the money, the il training, the interest, and in many cases the devotion which f make schools possible and it is only fitting that we make a mom' l ment's pause to show a little appreciation for those who are W realizing the ideal of public education.

Ircmwo somogscmim R593 SOQQQDGOQ sol Executive Officers To the three men represented on this page, Central tral High School owes a debt of gratitude. By their vision they see ideals eminently worth following, by their efforts they help us approach those fargoals of attainment towards which every soul must strive. Mr. R. E. Cffenhauer, superintendent of Lima City Schools, has been the successful head of the executive board for two years. He is a student of Marion Nor' mal College, Ctterbein, Columbia, and Howard. He studied conditions in Lima as principal of Central and entered his new position well fitted to assume its ref. sponsibilities. Mr. Cffenhauer has proved himself a E. OFFIZNNHAUER thinker and an administrator. Mr. H. W. Leach, principal of Central Senior High has won the high regard of his city and of his school. He is a man of sound theory and practice, as his Phi Beta Kappa key attests, a dreamer of dreams and yet a character who brings vision to realization. Mr. E. S. Poling is the dictator of Franklin Junior High. His aim, as far as we understand it, is to train his charges into staunch Centralites. His keen interest in things scholastic keeps him in the front rank of Cen' tral affairs and his keener interest in honorable, upright youth makes him the friend of every child under, his control. H' W' I-EACH than can the Board. If they fail the school system must suffer inestimably for they are the links between the people and their schools. Bef cause this fact is so well established, Central realizes her good fortune in having such officers as Mr. Cffenhauer, Mr. Leach and Mr.lPoling, for the leadership of these men is that of courage, honesty, righteousness, industry, service, and truth. Upon the great ideal made from these characteristics nations are built. , It is the province of the executive members to study the needs of both school and community more closely E. S.
