of the football team: George Bolt, Ernie Gottula, and Ray Varnell played fine basket ball. The ofiicers of our junior year had proved themselves so capable that We re-elected them again. Miss Cunningham continued as sponsor for the class. Our journalists took over the Centennialight, with Margaret McCoy, Peggy Heaton, Elouise Schnack, Anne Elner Parlapiano, Barbara Donaghy, and Regina Reitemeier taking turns at being editor, and Jay Martin doing an able job of managing the finances. Catherine Christian wasleditor of the Year Book, with Regina Reitemeier as literary editor and Earl Murphy as art editor, while George Rupp did a good job as business manager. In the speech departments seniors have been outstanding. The Senior act and the featured act in the vVodevil: the Christmas play, Dust of the Road: An Evening of One-Act Playsg and A Dish of China Tea, commemorating your birthday, Mr. Washington, were all staged entirely by seniors, and now we're looking forward to the Senior Play, Dear Brutus, as a fitting climax to a very successful year in dramatics. ' The debate squad, captained by Charles Kenady, won the Greeley Pi Kappa Delta tournament without losing a decision. In the extemporaneous speaking contest in the same tournament, Frances Langdon won first place in the girls' division and Charles Kenady, second in the boys' division. Peggy Heaton won the Hesperian Essay Medal contest. Betty Jean Davisson, Barbara Donaghy, and Catherine Christian were finalists in the Muzzio Reading Con- test. In boys' oratory, Charles Kenady and Duane Gould were contestants for the Civic Societies cup. l . Among the leads in the Opera, Pinafore, were Betty Beaty, Margaret Ann Hatton, Maxine De Nio, Roy Scott, and Marion Postlethwaite. George Rupp was Student Director of the band. Many seniors took part in the Music Conference, and the drum-majorettes had a grand time twirling in front of the band. Ernie Gottula, George Bolt, Don Scott, and Roland Yarberry again earned their letters in football: and Ernie and George also played basket ball. The school yell-leaders, Betty Jane May, Leroy Canterbury, and Marion Postlethwaite, led the cheers in pep assemblies and at the games. Incidentally. this year's senior girls are the last charter members of Centennettes. Wayne Van Arsdale has brought a fine honor to Centennial as the Hrst cadet colonel of the Pueblo R. O. T. C. regiment, while Duane Gould is major of the Centennial battalion. William Horner is captain of the R. O. T. C. band, and other seniors hold prominent ofiicial positions. The appearance of the pretty girl sponsors has brought a desirable dash of color. Now, we're looking forward a little wistfully to hilarious Kid Day, solemn Baccalaureate, and finally triumphant Commencement. The senior ended up breathlessly. But Washington smiled kindly, Thank you very much. You don't know how you've helped me. With that remark, he strolled on down the hall and out of sight. George, George! Wake up! Those men are here to see you about the new Constitution. Oh, Martha, I've had the most wonderful vision. l've seen the young men and women of one-hundred-and-fifty-years from now and heard their story. It makes me feel so proud to have them celebrate my birthday There was not a trace of discouragement left in those twinkling eyes FRANCES LANGDON Senior Editor Page Eleven it l X 4 , ll! xf Wf I .Qi H f ffg lj V!! .

MARGARET McCOY CHARLES KENADY MISS CUNNINGHAM WAYNE VAN ARSDALE MARJORIE VON GUNDY Citizens of '39 The Constitutional Convention had accomplished so little today. George Washington was tired and discouraged. As he sank into his chair and wiggled off his heavy buckled shoes, he spoke softly to himself, I wonder what America will be like a hundred-and-fifty years from now under this Constitution we're framing? What will the young people be learning in the schools? Will they remember us? Slowly he dropped off to sleep. When that queer whirling sensation in his head cleared, he was astounded to find himself in a school, surrounded by awestricken students. One Senior finally gulped, M-may I help you, sir? Why, yes, won't you tell me what year this is, what school I'm in, and something about your school life? The obliging senior began: This is Centennial High School. I belong to the class of 1939. During our first year Mr. Jehle was our critic. and Bob Menger, Wayne Van Arsdale, Margaret McCoy, and Mary Ann Wert were our class officers. The Shakespeare awards for high' scholarship went to Oliver English and Bessie Hacht. The freshmen participated in many school activities, such as Vodevil, Circus, and Operetta. At the beginning of our second year, Miss Cunningham took over the sponsorship. Wayne Van Arsdale was elected president, Charles Kenady, vice- president, Marjorie Von Gundy, secretary, and Margaret McCoy, treasurer. The Davis Latin Medal was won by Frances Langdon, and Regina Reitemeier won the Vories Debate medal for the girls. Many '39-ers attended the Inter- national Relations Conference at Central, and the class turned out en masse in the Horace Mann Pageant. The boys got their first taste of soldiering in the R. O. T. C. Music-minded students in band, orchestra, and glee clubs helped to make the Annual Vodevil and the Operetta complete successes. ln our junior year, the same officers were re-elected, and Miss Cunningham continued to watch over our destinies. Regina Reitemeier and Catherine Christian gained the finals of the Muzzio Reading contest, with Regina carrying off the honors. The Vories Debate medals were won by Charles Kenady and Frances Langdon. The vocal music department presented a light opera, The Marriage of Narmette and Betty Beaty and Roy Scott captured the leading roles Juniors took prominent parts in An Euenmg of One Act Plaqs presented by the speech classes and also in the featured act in the Vodevil Bob Vining Vernon Edgar Ernie Gottula and Roland Yarberry made up the Junior section PgT X Xi , , .X . . . . ui URM- - ' , 'film V '-'.- . . .
