Mlss REILLY Miss Drusilla Reilly-the schol- arly lady-the patient librarian who so often guided us through the mists and fog of the literary world-has retired from our Alma Mater this year. Without the love for books the richest man is poor -surely Miss Reilly is fabulously rich. All at Central give her our sincere thanks for her years of service. May she enjoy good health and happiness---. eight Miss J ONES Retirement has taken Miss Mary Jones. Long Will Centralrernem- ber her as their teacher, bringing to life the stories of the textbooks and supervising the junior class. Few individuals can fully realize the loss we sustained at Central. An example of untiring patience, she is surely an inspiration for both students and faculty. We salute her! Here's our best Wishes---.

J. MCL EAN REED, Superintendent l l l i It is always a privilege to accept the invitation of the Senior Class oiicials to write a page for the MIRROR. It would seem to me that the greatest challenge for the 1941 graduate is to be found in the Preamble of the Constitution- to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. Ewery high school graduate must accept that challenge with an earnest resolve to make every sacrifice and bend every effort to realize the Great American Dream-a good life for everybody because our way of living in a democracy requires a serious concern for not only our family but all thme families that make up our community. state, and nation. A Our philosophy of life must necessarily include the altruisms of the Master Teacher who believed no one unimportant. Therefore, We must resolve to 'live as He, who Was willing to serve at all times to the best of His ability His fellowmen, lived. It is my sincere wish that every Lima graduate will belong to that group of thinkers who bel'e h ' ' 1 ve t at every effort and sacrifice should be continually made to make a better community, state, and nation, and will not join or atliliate with that group who believe that nothing' can be done in the church, the school, the home, and the community to change the course of events. Ma ou b l' ' h ' y y e ieve in urnan progress and so live each day that you can say When that day is done, I am glad that I have made some contribution to the common defense, common Welfare, and th bl ' ' ' ' e essmgs of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
