All of the benefits that we, as students of Central, receive each year do not just happen. Much thought and planning go into every phase of our varied program. The person responsible for this planning either directly or indirectly is our prin- cipal, Mr, C, O. Towert With his wide background in school administration and his wise judgment concerning student affairs he guides the destiny oi Central with his sights on definite goals. We know that Mr. Tower means business once a decision has been made; but we also can feel confident that he has carefully considered every detail before reaching that decision. PRINCIPAL Although he must attend many meetings both in Cincinnati and throughout the state, We see him at athletic events. the Sweetheart Dance, the Junior- Senior Prom, and numerous other activities. The lights bum in the principal's office long after most of the students and teachers have left school for the day; While we- prepare for our future careers at Cen- tral High School, we have faith in our captain, Mr. C. O. Tower, who believes that teamwork is the key to success.

They take care of so many matters that it would be impossible to describe them all in this limited space. They try to get to know us all. This is a full time job in itself. Besides taking care of attendance, checking grades and heiping students with personal problems, they supervise each student's selection of courses for each coming year. Special events also come under their care. Some of these are Girls' Week, Boys' Week, Career Day, 1-Day, and Visitation Week. In addition to these responsibil- ities they serve on numerous committees dealing dis rectly With student affairs. Central students are indeed fortunate to have these special people Who are always ready to serve them, whether they have problems about classwork, careers, or partntime jobs. 21 Second Row: HENRY DRACE .....................

Coordinator oiPracticslNursinq One of the unique qualities of Central High School is that it offers actual work in business and industry to students in their senior year. This begins in June and continues until graduation on a half time basis. To coordinate this program between the school and the employer, Central has coordinators in all trade areas, These persons also teach one 01' more classes. For the rest of their time they find job openings in the particular trade field Which they supervise. Once they locate these jobs, they must decide just which students are qualified to accept them. Students do not automatically get jobs unleSS their records are satisfactory concerning attend- ance, scholastic work, and attitude. Central's coordinators are leaders in their chosen fields, and we are fortunate to have them working for us to provide the opportunities to get on-the-iob train- mg. COORDINATORS
