The Spirit On Which We Thrive- SCHOOL SPIRIT The character of a school is made up of many things. It is inspiration—an influence which helps us to find ourselves and to lead others. It is enthusiasm for a cause, an opportu¬ nity to participate in activities which interest us and to ac¬ complish goals which we set for ourselves. It is fun and recreation—friendly competition in which we develop a group spirit, a sense of belonging. It is the enjoyment of learning, whether we are preparing ourselves for further instruction or developing and training skills for an immediate vocation. It is a feeling of pride, a sense of loyalty because we are a part of Central and have helped to make it what it is. All of these things give our school its personality—its spirit, and we voice our pride in our Alma Mater: We are from Central, Eagles brave and true; We ' re proud of Central, She will do her best for you! 5 C H 5
