FOREWORD (j 7HE name of our book, THE MAGICIAN, alludes not to J the Hindu charmer, the gypsy conjurer, or the American slight-of-hand performer, but to the literary exemplification of Muncie’s magic growth overnight, and of her development from those hectic gas boom days to the present time. We have given our efforts to the completion of a pictorial history which we hope will prove a lasting memoir of the city and of Central High. Throughout the book we have attempted to show a definite relationship between the old and the new, as one may observe on the division pages. The first of these, heading the section called The School,” portrays the old and new high school buildings. The division page for the administration section shows the old and new court houses, symbolizing administration. Since the teachers are the guiding influences of the school we have chosen for their section the old and new city halls where the leaders of our city have their offices. Considering libraries, like classes, to be organizations for the improvement of the mind, we have placed at the beginning of the section for classes, pictures of the old library, which was only a room in the old city hall, and of the new library, which is one of the city’s most attractive buildings. The postoffices, the ideal of organization, we present to you on the organization’s division page. Pictures of the old and new gymnasiums head the athletic section. The old gymnasium is located in the west wing of our high school building. For features, pictures
