Dear Friends, It is obvious that considerable effort, time, and skill have

been required in the preparation of this annual. For this and their generous service, we sincerely express our appreciation to the Annual Staff and their faculty advisors, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Balch.

We know that our school compares well with the best; therefore, a pictorial cross-section of all that makes it such at the present time, as contained herein is a genuine source of pleasure and, to many of us, it will continue to be so as long as we live.

We have many reasons to be proud of our school. As your Superintendent and as your friend, I am proud to .congratulate each pupil and each faculty member for the fine quality of work now being done, and to extend to each of you my best wishes for your continued success in the future.

M. T. Alexander


PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Today we are vitally concerned with the preservat i on of our American way of life. As citizens in a democracy, -we face the responsibility of making decisions, and of taking action to maintain our ideals of freedom.

We hope and feel that the principles and ideals taught in Central School will help each of you to make wiser decisions and to take more intelligent action in meeting the problems of tomorrow.

To you students who remain with us, may every facility of the school be used for your future advantage.

To the 1951 graduates, our affection goes with you as you take your places out i n the world.

Ernest Balch, Pr{ncipal

Farewell to you old Central High From your welcome doors we part, And as the years go passing by We'll keep your memories in our heart. We will our hopes, our joys, and fame, This we leave to you, Juniors, in our name. Mozelle, Joyce leaves to you Her cheer leading ability and her freckles too. Aubrey, Martha leaves you her A's and B's Do not replace them with C's and D's To Grace, Barbara leaves the mirror on the wall, You can have it kid, she won't need it next fall. Homer, Joan leaves to you a vacant spot, Hoping you'll miss her quite a lot. Sue leaves the "Highlights" in Kenneth's hands, Hoping he'll carry out the usual commands. Hardie leaves to Joe Dell in this will, His ability to fix his Ford with great skill. To Linnie B., Willie leaves her record of fame To show her ability to play at volleyball games. Kimbell leaves to Carol the Basketball · So he can bounce it up and down the hall, Jimmie Costner, when sitting in your seat, Watch out for gum, for Daisy probably left you some. To Junior, Betty leaves thei.r famed parking spots, The rock pile, the grave yard, and all vacant lots. Annie Ruth's saddle-oxfords that never grow old, She leaves to Geraldine, to have and to hold. Robert leaves to Charles his suit and fixtures And hopes he'll be here When they take annual pictures. To Mr. Alexander we leave our echoes in the hall, When you hear them, please remember us all. Mr. and Mrs. Balch, our debts we leave to you, The ones we kept and added to. To the Junior Class we leave our high schoo 1 days, Our parties, class meetings, and all the school plays. As Seniors next year you'll surely have fun, So good luck from the Class of Fifty-one.
