To graduate, yes, and to forge ahead, for Centennial has well prepared them for the blazing of new trails! The pioneer spirit is in their hearts! During all four years, the class has been fortunate in having Mrs. Farn- worth as critic. Due to her encouragement and the capable leadership of the class oilicers-Tom Phelps, president: Rosemary Cieissinger, vice-president: Imelda McCarthy, secretary, and Luther Stringham, treasurer-the senior year has been exceptionally successful. In all activities seniors have predominated. In the Smith Reading Contest Sarah Harris emerged victorious, the other two finalists being Mary Jane Sabin and Marjorie Wheldon.
