OUR PRINCIPAL MR. CECIL 0. TOWER When Dr. Claude V. Courler sought to fill the principalship 0f the new Central High School he looked far and wide for the man. He returned home empty-handed only to find that man in his own ollice. When assigned the task of organizing and opening Central High School, Mr. Tower realized the magnitude of the task before him. The thoroughness, the diligence, the vigor. and firmness with which he tackled his job soon Won for him the respect and admiration of all who came in contact with him. Students, face ulty, and other administrators alike have already recognized the progressive character of the leadership offered lay Mr. Tower. We feel secure in the knowledge that a wise course has been set, a strong hand is at helm, and come test or tempest, we shall not falter. Mr. Tower, before coming to Central, served as Assistant Principal at Western Hills High School for eight years and Research Director in the Central Olhce for seven years, DIRECTOR OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION MR. JOHN F. ARUNDEL John F. Arundel was appointed Director of Voca- tional Education in February, 1918, to reorganize ex isting programs and promote vocational education under the Smith-Hughes Law. As a result, the plan of occupationally segregated vocational schools was ac- cepted by the Board of Education and the superin- tendent. Later, the Board acted favorably upon his recom- mendation that all vocational schools be designated as high schools and the teachers be placed upon the high school salary schedule. He also was instrumental in obtaining favorable Board action on a policy of college credit for industrial experiences-a policy included in all salary schedules since that time. An important step forward for the pupils was taken later when Mr. Arundel obtained State Charters as First-Grade High Schools for the nine schools. This allowed pupils to obtain a diploma in two calendar years of forty-eight weeks each and to enter State- supported colleges. During World War L Mr. Arundel directed the training of 1,600 enlisted men. In World War II, the department cooperated in the War Production Work- er Program. Under Public Law 34-6 over 4,500 Clis were trained in llOn-the-Joh and registered appren- tice programs. Mr. Arundel truly has given his life to vocational education.

THE COORDINATORS One type of faculty personneI not Iound in the traditional high school is the coordinator. We feel that the students at Central are fortunate in having the services of this oHicet From the studentis point of view. the function of the coordinator is one which cases very considerably the shock of that very critical time in our young lives. when WE are called upon to face the world of stem reality for the III'St time. They secure our first jobs for us, they instruct us in on-therjoh conduct. in personal reiations with out supervisors. and in many other leaSefi nf employee-emponer relationships which can spell the zliHerence between success or failure. By the time our senior year is over and our co-np jobs terminated. WC are no longer novices at this business of getting on in society. Each trade taught at Central has its coordinator who is well acquainted with the companies IUcaIIy engaged in his trade. His knowledge of the trade and the people engaged in it provides an invaluable source of information and contact for each student who seeks to make that trade his uvucation. Iihe coordinator eases the way for the youthful aspirant. who. because UI his inexperience am! lack of personal contact: might otherwise find entry into his Chosen fiehI dimcnlt if nut impos- siIJIe. In fact. the entire Central faculty represents many years of industrial and educational experience. In a school engaged mainly in terminal education. this is an ideal situation. Our students have learned to draw heavily upon the experience of our faculty and the reward in practical achievement is sometimes not fully appreciated until Inter years. Because of our youth we are not always: mindful of the bIessings which heIaII us. Yet in our more solemn hours we are keenly aware of our many blessings and do abnndantlv feel the gratitude so richly merited Iiy those who endeavor so carnestly in our hehaII. Much has been done for us. yet one thing more must we have uthat indomitable spirit which. in the ham Of our trial. shall hear us through victorious. In the example of those who teach us must we find it. 18
