Come with us on a tour to see what Centralites do. We will show you who Centralites are, how they learn, and the fun they have. We will look in on clubs and other activities such as an¬ nual and newspaper staffs. Our academic section shows how classroom activity goes on. You will see students participate in sports and other activities. Social life will be reviewed and of course, you will meet us, Centralites. Open house, in addition to our yearbook, gives parents and friends a closer view of the school at work and thus, they become better acquainted with our educational system. We are proud to live in an ever progressing community; one that is interested in us as students as well as citizens. Thus you will see what Centralites do. 3 Most Central students start out each day by riding the school bus from home to school. Confabs, Intermissions, Lunch Lines The study hall at noon pro¬ vides a place for study or just passing time. Hungry students wait patiently in the long limch line. This is a very familiar sight. 4 A large group almost always as¬ sembles at the bulletin board at noon. Students discirss up to the minute topics which appear on the board. Illustrate Everyday Routine A familiar sight between classes is the msh of students from one room to another. Among the fashion notes of Central teenagers were different styles of hairdos including DA ' s, ponytails, and flattops. Knee-high bobby socks and Bermuda socks were popularized by the girls worn with flats, loafers, rock ' n roll, or saddle shoes. Sweat shirts with Greyhounds printed on the front rated high with the freshmen through seniors. Other sights were the between classes rush, students crowded at lockers, and the long lunch line. The lockers are a frequent meet¬ ing place where students discuss ball games and dates. 5 The St. Luke ' s Evangelical and Reformed Church is one of the many churches in the commimity which is attended by Central stu¬ dents. Janice Liechty and Lois Steury give curb service at a local drive- in restaurant. Church Youth Groups, Jobs, and Elementary and high school stu¬ dents alike enjoyed the hula hoop. Joan Yoder demonstrates at her home. 6 A typical scene where partygoers " linger awhile " is the table with many good things to eat. Sue Pageler, Maran Zimmerman, and Marcia Zimmerman chat over refreshments at the party. Outside of school activities, some Centralites have jobs at local business establishments. Attending church and working with church youth groups occupy some of the students’ time. Centralites also enjoy going to and giving parties with friends. A steady couple, Dave Isch and Sue Pageler, enjoy the surroundings of Carol, David, and Joyce Haggard ' s party. Parties Occupy Leisure Time David Haggard, Junior Isch, and other guests take out a few mo¬ ments for Coke and 7-Up. 7 i CEN-TRAILS KING AND QUEEN ' S COURT--Arlene Zimmerman, Alan Habegger, Mary Dick, Max Egley, Larry Zurcher, crownbearer. Queen, Carol Haggard, King, Tom Heyerly, Barbara Miller, flower girl, Jeannie Smith, Larry Foreman, Wanda Neuenschwander, Dave Isch. Special Occasions Rate Barbara Miller carried the roses and Larry Zurcher carried the crown. A very big event of the year was the crowning of seniors Carol Haggard, Queen and Tom Heyerly, King of the student body. 8 The crowning of the king and queen highlighted the A. C. " -Berne ball game. Candidates for the crown paraded across the gym floor under the light of a spotlight ... in dark surroundings. The crowning took place on the stage decorated with a spruce-covered arbor and red poinsettias. The first eight grades helped lighten the holi¬ day season when they presented the P.T.A. Christ¬ mas program. The Sunshine sweetheart banquet was held Valentines Day in the school cafeteria. On this occasion girls invited their dates and dressed for¬ mally. Entertainment was provided by Miss Irene Myers who has traveled all over the world. In the grade school Christmas program some of the students decorate a large Christmas card (above) and also worship the Christ Child (below). High with Centralites Sunshine girls and their dates attend the Sun¬ shine sweetheart banquet held Valentines Day in the school cafeteria. The head table--Carol Heller, Glen Stucky, Mrs. Stucky, Reggie Welch, Duane Arnold, and Rosalyn Mishler watch as Carmen Quinones translates English words to Latin. Latin and English Provide Many Centralites enrolled in English and Latin this year. Latin students, under the instruction of Mrs. Stucky, enjoyed many interesting discussions. Translating held new interests for each mem¬ ber of the class. Mr. Sprunger ' s English Class studied ex¬ pression through writing, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Mr. Sprunger, Mr. Shoup, and Miss Beavers taught English 9, 10, and 11 respectively. Mr, Sprunger shows Jerry Gerber the correct way to spell a word. Marvin Mann asks Mr. Sprunger a question about verb usage. Susan Helmrich, Judy Bercot, and Dennis Arnold profit from his answer. 10 i Firm Foundations for Business Courses Kathleen Adler, Phyllis Biberstein, Linda Reber, and Brenda Sommer do work in filing while Mrs. Arch- bold stands by to check their work. Business education courses include typing, office practice, bookkeeping, and shorthand. These classes open the doors to r any profitable positions in dif¬ ferent lines of work. Teaching these courses are Mr. Miller, general business; Mrs. Archbold, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice; Mr. Fruth, typing; and Mr, Frantz, bookkeeping. Mr. Fruth shows Larry Habegger the correct form for typing a manuscript. Mrs. Archbold explains to John Sommer, Carol McKean, and Den¬ nis Fuelling the correct procedure for completing the general journal. 11 A Bill Kohli, David Hamilton, Mervin Parrish, and Jerry Rowden do mechanical drawing in Mr. Collier ' s freshman shop class. Vocational Courses " Learning by doing " makes voca¬ tional classes some of the more in¬ teresting subjects. Homemaking is interesting and rewarding as we learn better ways to sew, cook, arrange homes, and care for children. The enthusiasm displayed in agri¬ cultural classes shows us " How to keep them down on the farm " by the study of soil and crop and livestock man¬ agement. Farm shop adds a knowledge of how to use spare time on the farm. Rosanne Lautzenheiser, Susan Frank, and Becky Collins prepare the in¬ gredients for a cobbler while Mrs. Neilsen helps Jane Jennings with the filling in the eighth grade home ec. class. Mr. Watso n, agriculture instmctor, gives pointers to Gary Workinger, Ronnie Schwartz, John Ross, and Forest Strickler on swine judging. 12 Students in Mrs. Archbold ' s freshman physical education class do exercises as a warm-up before the game of basketball they will play. Essential in Modern Era The ability to get along as a team is not an easy task, but at A.C.H.S. we have an opportunity to learn through our well- developed physical education classes. The freshman and sophomore boys and girls are enrolled in a required physical education class while the upperclassmen keep active with intramural sports. At the head of the physical education classes are Mr. Fruth, Mr. Miller, Mr. Archbold, and Mr. Stork. Our driver ' s training classes help us to be skillful, courteous drivers, and teach us how to operate a car. Mr. Stork teaches driver ' s education. Dian Baumgartner, Carolyn Yake, Denny Mertz, and Ron Maines listen as Mr. Stork explains the function of each part of the car in driver ' s training class. 13 J Palmer Urick, Lana McBride, Jack Wulliman, and Sandy Sanders of the eleventh grade chemistry class learn from Mr. Allspaw ' s explana¬ tion the process of water distilla¬ tion. Valences, Theories Test Mental Abilities Mr. Watson asks Julie Sanders and Janice Ringger to name some of the leaves of Indiana in the freshman biology class. Biology classes, made up of fresh¬ men, collected insects and disected fish and grasshoppers. Mr. Watson and Mr. Stork headed these classes. Chemistry class, taught by Mr, Allspaw, experimented with many dif¬ ferent acids and gases and also learned to formulate and balance equations. 14 Diana Kershner, Arlen Gerber, and Carolyn Andrews watch as Mr. Haggard locates on the map a country which the world history class is studying. Social Studies Make for Better Citizenship History is a ceaselessly flowing stream, ever widening and deepening its course. History includes the survey of the whole life of man in the past, as revealed by documents, archeological relics, and all other " sources " which may have shed light on history Two groups of social studies include history, the science of the way people act, and government, the study of making rules and providing services that help people live together. Sophomores were instructed in history by Mr. Sprunger, Mr. Haggard, and Mr. Shoup. Mr. Shoup also taught government and sociology to seniors. Mr. Shoup explains initiative and referendum to Evan Yoder, Olin Moeschberger, Carol Helmrich, and Georgianna Essex of the senior government class by means of an illustration on the board. The fifth grade instrumental class listens as Mr. Don Gerig, instructor, tells them how to count time. Training such as this helps in music organizations in high school. Music, Art Develop Poise, Self-expression Irene Merriman and David Haggard use a straight edge to draw stenciled letters while Mr. Feasel shows Jeanne Kaehr some dif¬ ferent color combinations. Art and music provide appreciation and new interest to Centralites. These are subjects which you can take with you after graduation. The ability to create artistic de¬ signs gives a person the satisfaction of using his own skills. Teaching art is Mr. Feasel. Music students also have active schedules with band and chorus. Mr. Don Gerig and Mr. Leon Gerig are the directors of this department. 16 Jim Bilderback proves to Miss Beavers and Joy Yoder in geometry class that line CD is parallel to line AB. Alice Steiner tells Ronnie Zimmer¬ man, Joe Cancilla, and Barbara Carver how she got the answer to her first year algebra problem. Theorems, Equations Wrestle Mental Aptitudes Directed by Amzie Miller and Miss Lucile Beavers, the freshman class chose either algebra or general mathematics. Miss Beavers led the sophomores through a very interesting course in geometry. Advanced algebra, a required course for college math majors, was offered to interested juniors and seniors. Olin Moeschberger from the advanced algebra class agrees that making the x ' s and y ' s add up is not always easy. Miss Beavers, teacher, checks a piece of work which he has just finished. 17 ARE CENTRALITES?

The supper was held before the Monroe- ville--A.C. basketball game. 20 To the students of Adams Central: Today is yours to do with what you will. Today at Central will lay the fou n¬ dation of all your tomorrows. What you do today determines your happiness in all those tomorrows. I hope you have learned many things in the art of living. In addition to your as¬ signments, 1 hope you have learned to be a little more kind and thoughtful of others-- to be cheerful and enthusiastic--and that happiness grows a little more each time it is divided with others. If you have learned this, even in a small measure, the year 1958-59 has been a success. May the best of everything be yours. Herman E.

Tom Heyerly.V. Pres. Max Egley.Pres. Arlene Zimmerman.Sec. Seniors — In September, 1955, numbering in the mid-fifties, we entered Central High and wondered what was lying ahead. Labeled " green freshmen " we bowed to, and carried the books of the mighty seniors. As sophomores in 1956 we sold stationery to start funds for our senior trip. Several parties also high¬ lighted the year. Our junior year kept us busy selling magazines to increase our funds. The class play was much work, but fun for all. The senior year was by far the busiest. Selling concessions and magazines, sponsoring a skating party, and ordering our gowns and invitations held new thrills for each class member. Then came graduation with a solemn note, climaxing four years of fun and hard work.

Keen Competition Keeps Student Managers, Junior Isch, Jerry Schwartz, David Houck, and Garry Bluhm check percentages at half-time. A promising varsity of nine, the Greyhounds lost to Geneva in the first game of the season. A six-game winning spree sparked activity for the Greyhounds and Coach Miller. However, a five-game slump followed the County Tourney. The final game of the tourney was a hard- fought battle for the Greyhounds, losing to Hartford in the final minutes. The Greyhounds with 10 wins and 9 losses, thus far, have slightly better than a .500 percentage. 58 Dave Isch and Larry Foreman try to tip the ball into the goal.

A letter sent to the lady, in¬ formed her that she had been chosen as an " ideal lady. " A party was held to identify the ideal lady with the respective club member. The most important social events of the year were a Mexican Christ¬ mas party and a sweetheart banquet. The club has enriched the lives of everyone here at Adams Central but especially those girls who take part in giving happiness and kindness to others. 79 Archers developed a steady hand and an accurate aim in archery club this year.
