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
