During the Second World War the United States Army bought Miss Adderley's land as well as that on which her school was locat- ed for a military reservation. A long article was written about this in the Saturday Eve- ning Post. Shortly afterward Miss Adder- ley began teaching at Celoron. Her influence on our early school years has had a great effect on our school life. Miss Adderley will be remembered for many years by her former students. WHQD WALTER A.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated-Mrs. Stranigan, Mrs. Hough, president, Mrs. Farnsworth. Standing - Mr. lohnson, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Sonne, Mr. Myregaard, Mr. Davis, Mr. Lawson. DEDICATIGN The Senior Class of l955 proudly and gratefully dedicates this, the eighth edition of the Centralian, to our loyal and true Board of Education members. For it was they, with their hard work and planning, who made it possible for us this year to enter in to study and learn in the facilities of a modern and new high school. We are at last all united into one high school build- ing where we can more uniformly work and play together as a central high school. Without the long hours of careful planning and discussions of our Board, our school would still be a dream or vision. But now that dream which was shared by us all, is a reality. We surely hope this dedica- tion of our Centralian will, in a small way, express our thankfulness to the Board of Education for everything they have done for us. During the past year, one ol our esteemed board members, Mr. Frank Nutt, passed away. Mr. Nutt was active on the Board of Education for several years, representing Zone 3, one of the former Busti districts. Present Board members and their com- mittee assignments are: Mrs. Mary Stranigan-Chairman of Teachers and Cafeteria Committee. Mrs. Lois Hough-President.
