Zntenniaf patent -7Z1cAet -Q55ocz'4z'z'on This year, as always, the Centennial P. T. A. has been a link between the home and the school. The theme for the year has been Maintaining the Home Front. Their special conslderation has been for the Centennial boys who are now in the armed forces. . The P. T. A. members have been caught in the tide of war work. They have been especially outstanding in the A. W. V. S., Cray Ladies, U. S. O., and on ration boards. The programs have been the outstanding feature this year. They were presented by the students in the various organizations of Centennial in order to acquaint the parents with the work of these groups. Mr. Collins and Mr. Christopher have given musical programs. Mr. Mitchell has staged discussion groups demonstrating the direction along analyzing current problems. Dramatic instruction has been shown in a program presented by Miss Carlick. The Home Economics Department, the Annual Staff, and the R. O. T. C. have given excellent programs showing the work of those departments. We can rightly say the Centennial P. T. A. is canying on in wartime as it has in peacetime. -PAT DUNHAM. Page Ten

77ze Qkectotd Every play has its directors, and the quality of the directors determines whether the play will be good or bad. Our Centennial play is one of the best, for our directors are top-notch. Mr. Risley and his assistants, the school board, Mr. Heaton and his office force, and the teachers, all deserve an academy award. ln the death of Mr. Harlan Smith, treasurer or our district, we lost an old and valued friend. I-le has served the district faithfully for many years and was a devoted friend as well as an efficient official of the school district. Mr. Charles M. 'Thompson has been chosen by the board to be thelnew treasurer. Too many times the office force is overlooked. This department has the tre- mendous task of keeping all the files and records very necessary for a school of this size. Then, too, there is the superintendents office downstairs, which handles the records of the whole school district. Both of these offices perform an efficient job with cheerfulness and friendliness. I The faculty has a harder job than ever now because the war has invaded the field of education as it has every other field. With many boys and girls working, with supplies curtailed, with boys leaving for the armed services, the teachers are making the best of trying times. just as before, though, they always have time to help any student with his problems. They not only tell us to do things but show us how and help us. In the class room and in the many extra-curricular activities they play the part of teacher and sponsor. They teach us tolerance and democratic living, besides text-book lore. The faculty of Centennial hasghelped the war effort by handling rationing, by providing special mathematics classes, by assisting in salvage drives, by working for the Red Cross, and by helping the clubs and societies in their many war activities. All these friends have made this school year a grand experience, and our suc- cesses in the bigger plays to come will be due in a large part to our directors in dear old Centen. JOANNE MACFARLANE.

The Associated Centennial Officers is the governing body of the actors, and expresses their ideas about the production to the directors. This body is made up of the class officers and a representative from every organization. These Junior Directors have many duties. They direct the hall guards, conduct fire drills, and supervise the horsemen. lt is their pleasure to award the Centennial UC. They sponsor all paper drives, the activities of the Safety Council and the Centennial Iunior Red Cross. The hall guards are the helpers who keep peace and order for the big show, while the horsemen preserve order outdoors. The Safety Council is responsible for all safety programs and activities. All these behind-the-scenes workers are what makes the finished production possible, and they have all done a grand job. The A. C. O. officers this year were Lyle Kingery, president, Ruth Cower, secretary, and Mr. Heaton, sponsor. -IOANNE MACFARLANE. Page Eleven
