Administration 1+ has been fifty years since December 14, 1914, when Central High School became Girls' Vocational High School. May we imagine a Stutz-Bearcat snorting up to the front entrance, and depositing a bevy of pompadoured young ladies in ankle-length dresses? It was Miss‘Elizabeth Fish, first principal, who guided the original eight teachers. Miss Mary Wright, one of these first, headed the dressmaking department, and served for 31 years. In the same spirit of their predecessors, our present faculty carries on in the words of Elizabeth Fish: Let the voice of Vocational proclaim to the world that it is a school where earnest young people, by training themselves, are being trained to fill a definite place in the world. Miss Eliidbefh Fish, First Principal. SUIch by Sally Alford 7
