FORREST KAYLOR Building Superintendent Principal's Message September of this school year was an exciting time in the development of the Central High School District. After many long years of waiting, planning, and preparation some of the students who had formerly been housed at the Sewanhaka building and some of the 7th and 8th grade students who had been housed in the local district buildings were able to enter new school buildings. It was not possible for all of the buildings to be open so this meant that the Sewanhaka High School needed to be operated for another year on double session. We miss many of our fine teachers who formerly were at Sewanhaka. We also miss some of our very excellent students who were outstanding both in scholarship and in various activities. We were happy to keep all of the senior students for the entire dis- trict. They will graduate in June as the last very large class at Sewanhaka High School. The very best wishes of all of us here at Sewanhaka go out to the students and staff of the new schools. HAROLD W. WRIGHT Principal, Sewanhaka High School

Headlines scream of war in faraway places and of serious problems in Washington. Each teacher in our department strives to instill in his students an under- standing of the economic, political, and social forces which motivate the world and the headlines. We are trying to build citizens who will be able to critically examine and wisely solve the complex prob- lems of our 20th Century world. IT' Social Studies S. H. S.
