OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND DEAN OF BOYS Twenty-five years ago a young chemistry teacher and basketball coach knocked on the doors of Central High School in search of a job. He was hired, and he rapidly proved the wisdom of this move. He made chemistry a living subject worthy of the students' interest. In l928 he brought glory to Central in the form of our first victory in the sectional basket- ball tournament. and we won this tournament six consecutive years while he was our coach. In l958 this man was made assistant principal and dean of boys. Howard W. Scheuer- man has served thirteen years in this capacity. He has been a person to whom not only the boys but also the girls feel free to bring their problems. He has been advisor to the Social Committee since its origin in 1945. This, along with his many duties as assistant principal and dean of boys, has kept our Cappy a busy man. When asked about his future Mr. Scheuerman will simply say that he hopes to continue in administrative work. As to the future of the boys of the class of l95l, he hasihis to say: The execution of your educational plans for the future may be delayed by the present tense world situation, but these plans should be little changed. The demand for the right kind of leadership is greater today than ever before. --Nancy Abrahams GAYLE H. HOWEY, A.B. H. W.
