PIX Staff Dedicates Annual to Principal Carter Breaking with tradition, the PIX staff dedicates its 1966 edition to a Tiger who has not yet gained his three- year tenure in the Little Rock Public School System. Yet, most of this Tiger’s life has been spent at Cen- tral High—either as a student (from 1937-40) or as an administrator (from 1948-62, when he resigned as athletic director, and from 1965, when he returned to become principal, to the present). He has probably given more talent and time to Central and its students than anybody associated with the Little Rock Public Schools. The progress that Central has made since the fall of 1965 when he returned to become principal is astounding. New and revised courses designed to teach students what they are capable of learning rather than to teach grade- levtT learning arc beginning to appear through his efforts; a friendly, pleasing atmosphere between the school and community has prevailed; and rapidly improving services in health, food, and student activities continue to receive his attentions. Long recognized by professional educational groups as one of the top ten schools in the nation, Central will un- doubtedly become the top school if this Tiger continues to work for improvements as he has during the short time he has been principal. We dedicate this book to a Tiger—to Mr. Harry Carter, our principal and our friend
