There were well under one hundred students taught by a faculty of three. Commencement exercises for the Hrst class to graduate from Centennial were held in May of 1884. As the enrollment grew, a new building became necessary. A brick school- house was erected, and in the following years it too became crowded and so was enlarged by addition of wings and two floors. The annex was built to house grade school students, but soon the high school overflowed into this building, Literary and debating societies were started in the early days of Centen- nial. Later came many other organizations. lt was not long before Puebloans began offering medals and prizes to reward students for outstanding efforts in the fields of scholarship, oratory, essay, Latin, English, and science. Within these four walls of this high school, young Americans for many years have had the opportunity to learn the principles of democracy. Prom this free high school they have gone out into a free country to become worthy citizens of a great nation. -PAT DUCY. Page Six

CHASTEEN CenI:ennial's Sponsors We, the class of 1941, have witnessed Centennial's passing happily through its sixty-fifth year. Sixty-five years of instructing American youth were com- pleted with the kindly advice of the school board and the careful guidance of the faculty. These kind and helpful friends of Centennial have made this a most successful and pleasant year for the student body. One often seen in the corridors of Centen is Mr. Risley, our superintend- ent, who has a ready smile for everyone. Busily striding through the halls, one will encounter Mr. Robertson, secretary of the school board, who with the treasurer Mr. Smith ably manages the doling out of funds: their competent assistants are Miss Crawford and Miss Anderson. Perhaps less well known to students are the members of the board-these men are all loyal and enthusiastic boosters of Centen. Mr. Hoffman heads the board as its president. The four other members are Mr. Burney, Dr. Rice, Dr. Spencer, and Mr, Chasteen- these men work together in close harmony to make Centen run smoothly. Mr. Ramsower is well known by all Centennialites. He can be seen at almost any time keeping a watchful eye on all things so we need never be ashamed of Centennial's appearance inside or out. p In every room of dear Centen are members of the faculty, patient and understanding friends who guide the youth through their joys and difficulties. Not only do they share class-room interests, but faculty members are the students' companions in extra curricular activities where Centennialites have the opportunity to practice and enjoy the democratic principles they have learned. -PAT DUCY.
