George Shaw Superintendent Although good schools are essential to our way ot lite, unfortunately They do not occur automatically. The establish- ment of a sound educational system de- pends upon the choice of an efficient and hard-working superintendent. Such a man is Mr. George Shaw, superintend- ent of Superior's public schools. A feeling of deep pride is felt by stu- dents and teachers at Central when it is recalled that Mr. Shaw once served as our principal. He advanced to his pres- ent position in i953 and has served cap- ably since that time. Administration BOARD OF EDUCATION -if 'Q I A ' 'R I 5 sf QF?

W. Gates, father of education leader y, r , x, lough Gates, arrived in Superior in 1859. TP. VM Since he, pictured here, and his son are con- ! Nl Ml sidered pioneers of learning, they must also be given due honor. Both served in the teaching profession and added even more glory to the story of Central and of education in Superior. We dedicate our achievements and those of our predecessors to time itself. Seen on this page is the great clock of the Nelson Dewey School, in Superior's East End. Appropriately it is an example of another first, the school was the first brick building in the city and the three-faced clock was the first to strike time in Superior and at the Head of the Lakes. Another personality deserving of praise and honor is the late Mr. James Bardon. As a school teacher and writer of the famous Bardon Papers, his works further enriched the already golden history of Superior. All Central alumni are the recipients of addi- tional dedication. Successul or not, famous or obscure, their spirit and determination have been a source of respect and pride for all who have followed. Symbolic of the spirit to which frequent ref- erence has been made, is the emblem of Central High Schoolfthe hardy Viking. Seen at the lower left is a sketch of the Viking as depicted by art editor Jack Koski. It provides a fitting close to a dedication the subiects of which are so many and so varied. The Viking is, in es- sence, a pictorial adaptation of the foregoing dedication. ,J
