lfftgval in Topeka, while Phyllis Ditty walked off with the Vories Debate e a . In our new and elevated position in the balcony, we were again guided by Mr. Smith. Chuck Young held the position of president. I-lis cabinet showed few changes: Emory Dedman, vice-president: Virginia Hunter, treasurer, and Dottie Thompson, secretary. During the course of the year James Carson, Don Craddock, Whitney Warden, Joyce Lambuth, Bob Vvlilliams, and Tom Mc- Intyre acted as yell leaders. Denzil Pauli edited the class paper, The Organeer. We were all busy with school activities. The work of the Speech Class was outstanding. They produced and reproduced an unusual rhythm play entitled Common Clay Court. Robert Rose and Phyllis Ditty aired their views during a discussion of democracy and education broadcast over KGHF. At Christ- mas an old favorite, Why the Chimes Rang, was beautifully enacted. The long anticipated senior play, The Royal Family, turned out to be a great success, and starred Maryl Beck, Dorothy Thompson, Jane Fletcher, and Robert Rose. This year two seniors, Freddie Innes and Phyllis Walker, competed for the I-lesperian Essay Award. Phyllis emerged victorious with a selection entitled My Kid Brother. Robert Cross won honor by placing first in the local American Legion Oratorical Contest. Senior contestants for the Muzzio Reading contest were Jane Fletcher and Mildred Gwartney. Dottie Thompson reigned as Sports Queen, Jane Fletcher was presented the D.A.R. award, and Queen Norma New- man presided over the circus with Dot Thompson and Jay Thomas as her senior attendants, while by vote Chuck Young and Betty Farabee were chosen the most popular boy and girl in Centennial. The pace-setters in debate were Phyllis Ditty, Robert Cross, and Charles Houston, squad captain. The R.O.T.C. led a busy year under the colonelship of Jerry McCarthy and the colonel's lady, Dorothy Thompson. The leading roles in the operetta, Rio Rico, were sung by Nan Walker, Maryl Beck, Ruth Burgeson, Betty Bunnell, and Bob Rusk. The class of '42 shone in the field of sports. Don More, Dave Amaya. and D. G. Douglas made the all-conference football team. Peter Douglas, Clar- ence Wagner, Bob Oakley, Don More, and Alex Boyd were stars of the court. As this history goes to print, it is rumored that D. G. is the outstanding hurdler and pole-vaulter in the state, while Speed Williams is said to be the best broadl- jumper in the school's history, and Willard Oviatt is expected to make record time in the cross-country run. The girls' rifle team again returned triumphantly from the state match. This time Jane Fletcher won first place and Ruth Bergeson second. The efforts of the senior class did not stop with school activities. We acted as the school's guiding light in defense work. A small booth, situated on the second floor, was the center of our defense stamp sale. This was headed by Stanley Wilson. We also undertook the task of collecting, baling, and selling paper. Emory Dedman and Jerry McCarthy supervised the work, and the pro- ceeds were added to the class memorial funds. The class of '42 is proud of its memorial. It was unanimously voted to donate our funds to the Red Cross. On February 3rd, we were able to present them with a S400 check, and by the end of the year, we hope to double this amount. Graduation time draws near-Phyllis Walker and Bob Cross are to be the student speakers at commencement. So now with this thought we say good-bye. Today as we leave these well-known halls, A spirit of loyalty marks us all- Loyalty to country, to home, and to school, With a hatred of oppression and a tyrant's RULE. For the principles of democracy exemplified here Will live with us all through many a year. So with our foundation already laid, We go forth with high hopes-daringly unafraid. -DOROTHY THOMPSON.
