Administrators Through the perseverance and hard work of the eight elected members of the Board of Education, a bond issue passed this year which will bring Central a whole new science wing and a spectator gym. The science pro- gram will now be increased to meet the grow- ing demand for scientists, while a gym of our own was badly needed. The Board has already accomplished the construction of a new auto mechanics build- ing which replaced the old one that is to be torn down for the freeway. The members work constantly to improve our educational facilities and quality of teach- ing. They meet bi-weekly to solve the budget, building, and educational problems which are ever present. The Board of Education plays an important part in the lives of the students and the teach- ers. It is a definite asset to our community. Dr. Mark W. Bills Jack H. Gift Frederick M.

Max W. Mills E Harvey L. Tucker Our Capable The sincere, hard-working principal of Peoria High School, Max W. Mills, has en- deavored to develop a program based on high academic standards which will produce intel- ligent, thinking students who are prepared to meet life as capable citizens. Mr. Mills is deeply interested in every student and all of the activities at Central. An enthusiastic fan of sports, he attends every game he can, proud of the quality and good sportsmanship of the players. Harvey L. Tucker, Assistant Principal, works to improve the spirit and accomplish- ments of the students. He helps them to have respect for authority and themselves and also encourages them to do their best through ac- ceptance of responsibility. His dedication has helped him steady many fal tering students. The Dean of Girls, Miss Florence Poshard, strives to understand the problems which con- front girls, giving her personal assistance to those who need it. Firm in her beliefs, she counsels the girls wisely. Florence Poshard
