Mr. King can call on these as well as his extensive experience to deal with the challenges of school supervision. In any school the faculty determines the quality of education a student can receive. Because of her superior instructors, Central has long been noted for academic excellence. Our teachers constantly try to improve teach- ing methods through experimental classes. Although they work continually, check- ing papers and doing other routine tasks, Central's teachers do not allow themselves to become bogged down in their work. Many of them engage in extracurricular activities such as sponsoring clubs and supervising the bookstore. For recreation many of them enioy bridge, the theatre, music, and the opera. Hobbies range from golf and tennis to hat- making and gardening, From this wide range of interests our entire school profits. The teachers gain enioyment, while the students reap the benefits of a liberal educational at- mosphere stimulated by the diverse interests of the faculty members.

Acquisition of knowledge is no instan- taneous process. As the new student first mounts the steps to enter Central's halls, armed with nine years ot basic instruction, he finds awaiting him the broadest choice of subiects, the best faculty, and the highest reputation offered by any high school in the city. Over forty courses are available to him. From among these the student may choose the ones which best suit his needs. He can exercise his abilities under the experienced eyes of a proficient staff of teachers. How- ever, study cannot be accomplished wholly by standard classroom work. The maior bur- den falls on the individual-he must partici- pate actively in the discussion of ideas, he must decide what is important for him to re- member. With the faculty's instruction 'and guid- ance, he can obtain a firm foundation for the future and ioin the ranks of the many Central graduates who have become re- spected leaders in their community and na- tion.

TTING SERENELY, Mrs. Thomas relaxes momentarily from the usual hustle and bustle that prevail in the myriad duties of assistant principal. harried by constant calls on her attention, she manages daily to finish her work efficiently and with understanding, WHAT A PERFECT way to start the clay! Only ten absent, agree Central's secre- taries, Mrs. Norton and Mrs. Sanders, Al- though .hardvpressed by duties, they are willing and able to help when students enter with problems. THIS BIBLE, illustrated by former Centralite Walter Parke, is one of the library's most treasured volumes. Changing its pages weekly is the lightest of Miss Crump's many duties. Page No. 15
