Administration and Faculty Set Central's High Standards of Excellence Mr. Robert E. King, Principal, has the demanding task of guiding Central High School. His are the re- sponsibilities of leadership and the rewards of ac- complishment. Believing that co-operation is a two- way street, he supports Central in every way possible and maintains a maximum of personal contact with the student body. Many of the odd iobs of running the school fall to Mrs. Mary Thomas, Assistant Principal. She attends to many of the problems that arise, sees that all students are meeting attendance and scholastic requirements, and is in charge of the office assistants. In addition to these and other duties, she takes care of public rela- tions for Central. Mrs. Gladys Norton and Mrs. Harriet Sanders do the usual work of secretaries and much more. They keep scholastic and attendance records, check stu- dents in and out, fill in transcripts for college-bound students, handle all correspondence, and conduct other office business. The efficiency with which the office is run exemplifies the proficient work of these two. A GENIAL personality, administrative knowledge, long experience, and an understanding attitude are among the many fine qualities possessed by Central principal, Mr. R. E. King. No. Page 18

FACULTY-CLASSES The backbone of one's character is developed during adolescence. Since many Central graduates become community leaders, setting examples for others to follow, they must gain a good foundation during their high school years. Central's faculty stresses a strong teacher-student relationship. There- fore, through understanding and cooperation, school problems can be effectively solved. In their classes, students are given the opportunity to expand their ability to lead and to form a personal association with their schoolmates. By using modern technical aids designed to help the process of learning, teachers present their subiects as attractively as possible. This results in student curiosity for extra information. The determination shown by the Central faculty to assist stu- dents in every way promotes a healthy educational atmos- phere, which enables students to retain more knowledge. cf' No. Page 17
