ADMINISTRATORS KEEP 'TRIBE' IN HAND. To the casual observer, Pontiac Central High School is a mixture of pep rallies, thrilling football games, examinations, radio workshop broadcasts, plays, concerts, clubs, and a sprawling red brick building that just grew and grew with the city. This same observer cannot fail to realize that this vibrantly alive school is one of the largest and one of the finest schools in Michigan, that it houses twenty-two hundred students and one- hundred-fifteen administrators and teachers and that it has a curriculum designed to meet the educational and vocational needs of Pontiac's youth. Behind all of this is a staff of diligent assistants, department heads, teachers, counselors, maintenance men and dieticians, all headed by our principal, Francis W. Staley. On these pages we would like to introduce you to the people who are responsible for our school.
