event cp - ix tyeci’Ki o-l eivice Last January marked Warren ' s twenty-sixth year of service - service not only to her students but also to the community. During these years countless improvements have been made and many more are planned. Mr. C. E. Eash, our principal, has led the school in its advance since the opening day, January 15, 19 25. Two other teachers have been with the faculty since Warren ' s founding. They are: Mrs. Myrtle Rodden, vice principal, and Mr. Walter Mowrey, athletics. Through the tireless efforts of the administration and the efforts of all the teachers, past and present, War- ren has become the successful institution of learning that we attend today. This year ' s enrollment of over a thousand far overshadows the two hundred and sixty-two pupils of the first year. Since that time our school has made steady and rapid progress. In 1933 Warren was honored by being rated the only Marion County first-class commissioned high school, with the exception of the city schools. In 1942 Warren received the honor of becoming a member of the North Central Association. Opportunities for learning, other than the three s - readin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic - have been greatly de- veloped. Today, when the need for a well rounded education is so great, the many and varied courses offered at Warren provide boundless possibilities for the aspiring student. The new distributive education course is a pro- gressive step toward bridging the gap between high school and business for those students not contemplating college. Warren has grown in size as well as in curriculum. In 1936 the new wing was added to the building, housing classrooms, shops, offices, and a modern gymnasium. The extension to the cafeteria was completed in 1946, and this year six new classrooms were added - two of these to accommodate the overflow if grade school chil - dren in the township. One of the most prominent mediums of school and community service is the school paper. The Warren Owl has been published bi-weekly since the first year. First place ratings have been received by the Owl from press associations for the past four years. The Parent-Teacher Association has developed steadily along with the school. By sponsoring the dancing classes, the canteen, the Easter Sunrise Service, the senior party, and other activities, this organization serves the school and community to a great extent. It has been successful in developing a valuable relationship be- tween the students, parents, and teachers. A reputation for clean playing and good sportsmanship has been maintained by the athletic department throughout the years. Various teams and individuals have brought honor to Warren on many occasions. The music department, both vocal and instrumental, is one to be very proud of. Although there was no band or orchestra the first year, there was a chorus, and since the band was organized in 19 28, it has received first place ratings in competition with high schools throughout the state. The choir is also an outstanding service organization. This group of fifty-eight voices has provided entertainment for many events throughout the school year. After reviewing the progress made in the past, we of Warren Central, feel certain that this school is no w ap- proaching an even greater future in the fields of education and community service.
