The next year ushered in the masque and sandal of histrionics when Pro- fessor Pepp, a comedy directed by Mr. Greene, was presented. Athletics once again were in the spotlight, and other schools of the South Central League looked forward to the next year with apprehension. The juniors had fourteen lettermen in football and six in basketball. In football, Doyle Hilton was named honorary captain, and Lewis Amaya, Heath Nuckolls, Richard Biffle, Farris Douglas, Jim Elanigan, Vernon Edgar, Leland Johnson, Ray Gottula, Jack McCarthy, Glen Hunter, Charles Tappan, James Smith, and Richard Trevithick lettered. Ray Ciottula was honorary captain in basketball, and Leland, James, Parris, Lewis, and Heath earned C's. Lewis, Heath, and Wi'lliam Snead lettered in track. Jim Potter and Dave More had leading parts in the school opera. Ella Brown won first place in a V. E. W. essay contest, while Gerry Ribar was a finalist in the Hesperian essay contest. A blaze of glory seems best to fit the last year of the class of 1940. The football team started the year off by going through the season undefeated until the Loveland Indians showed too much power in the state championship game. Vernon Edgar captained the team. Charles Tappan, Leland Johnson, James Smith, Jim Elanigan, Heath Nuckolls, Ray Cuottula, Farris Douglas, Lewis Amaya, Todd Storer, and Jack McCarthy all earned letters. The basketball team followed suit by winning twelve straight conference games, and then win- ning three inter-league games to bring back the state championship. Lewis Amaya was captain, and James, Farris, Heath, Ray, and Leland all lettered for the third time in basketball. Bret Kelly and his snappy assistants, Ered Dixon and Knox Converse, as yell-leaders had little trouble with two such teams to back. In dramatics the seniors took an active part. Elaine Shadford played the lead in the Christmas play with a fine supporting cast of seniors. In the 'Evening of One-Act Plays seniors predonimated. Seven Keys to Bald- pate was the senior play. Stephen Comiskey and Bret Kelly defeated the national champions in a radio debate. Margaret Hughes, Rae Moery, and Erances Carson, who won the medal, were finalists in the Hesperian essay con- test. Elsie DeShon, Frances Carson, and Gerry Ribar were in the finals of the Muzzio Reading contest. Gerry was elected D. A. R, representative for her out- standing qualities of leadership, service, and patriotism. Jim Potter went to Kansas City to participate in a vocal contest. By graduation, fifteen per cent of the class were members of the National Honor Society. The revival of Quill and Scroll, honorary journalistic society, began with twenty seniors as mem- bers. A Waltz Dream, an operetta by Strauss, was presented by the glee club with seniors in all important parts. Somewhat sadly, but proudly, the seniors reflect on their four years in Centen-years that passed all too quickly. They've tried to do their best, and they are justly proud of their record. But the past is past. No longer will they be part of the student body that rises to cheer the victorious Bulldog teams. Behind are the other classes to fill the empty senior roll room and to sing On Centennial for the teams that will some day equal and perhaps surpass the record of the Class of l94O. And for the seniors a new and strange world lies ahead to be conquered. i'The old order changeth, yielding place to new .... -BRET KELLY.
