MR. H. W. LEACI-I MR. HOWARD SCI-IEUERMAN TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANNUAL MIRROR AND ALL CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: I I Our country is now engrossed with the great problems of defense, national unity and the preservation of democratic ideals. Are these problems only for the adult mind, government oiii- ' ' ' ' ' ' h h ld ome cials and political leaders? Or are they problems with which the high school yout s ou c . . . - Y H to grips? There is no question but that these problems involve a long range planning as vve as an immediate one. Our government oflicials have the responsibility of the immediate, but our youth will have to meet the problems in the future. There is only one way that you can effectively meet these problems and that is by learning now, practicing here, in the school, in the only organization that can be said to be exclusively set up for you, the ways of democracy. The student council of Central is giving more attention to the democratic ideals. It is en- couraging citizens of this school to think through their own problems in the spirit of coopera tion and unity. It is trying to get them to accept the responsibility of more self-control, self discipline and leadership for the benefit of the school as a whole. Its recent assembly for promo- ' ' ' 'd l h' h nust er tion of student-conducted study halls is an example of the democratic 1 ea w ic we 1 p - petuate. In no other way can democracy withstand the gnawings of the-termites within andlthe assaults of the totalitarians from without. If you want to be prepared for these responsibilities now is the time to learn. Sincerely yours. H. VJ. LEACH, Principal Heads of Departments T 1 H C Dillon, Edith Simps011 C. R. DeLong, H, C.

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.
