3111 illlemuriam With deep regret We record the passing on February 20, 1944, of Mr. Fred W. Ramsovver, a friend of Centennial in the truest sense. For thirty-Five years the care of our building was his special charge, and in more recent years the supervision of all the buildings of Dis- trict No. 1 was entrusted to his care, as chief engineer. I-Iis dedication to his lifeis Work, his friendly and helpful interest in the teachers and students of our school, his inspiring leadership in the training of the men and boys who worked with him, have served to achieve for him an exalted place in the esteem and alfection of all who entered the halls of Centennial. The buildings of our district are a material monu- ment to his ability and efficiency but a better and more lasting memo- rial will be the recollection of his cheerful personality and line spirit which vve shall always treasure in our hearts. He made his deeds the measure of a man. l Page Szxteen

,SENI'OR-S SENIOR OFFICERS LYLE KINGERY, president. JACK SKINNER, vice-president. RUTH GOWER, secretary JOAN HYDE, treasurer. 72m .QM 7-Zz G-fmanae ak -k ir if Way back in September 1940 the class of '44 presented the first act of its drama in four acts. The chief actors consisted of Lyle Kingery, who played the leading role of president, Jack Skinner, who was his stand-in, serving as vice-president, Ruth Gower and Ioan Hyde, who had the feminine leads, acting as secretary and treasurer respectivelyg and Veryl McMillen, stealing the show as yell leader. Our most able director was Mr. Iehle. In the first scene the Quiz Kids was presented at the school vodevil. The next scene introduced some new actors, Hanna, Kingery, Evans, Bike, Elson, Colby, White, Lawson, McDonnell, Aubrey, Leonard, Dickerson, Hatton, Kleinhein, Brady, Heath, and Pusatory, all football players. The parts in the basket- ball scene were played by Kingery, Skinner, Bernstein, Summeral, Cox, Colby, Hatton, G'Conner, McDonnell. The Debate roles were filled by Robb, M. N. Smith, B. L. Nafe, G. Speakman, B. Moery, and'B. Storer. Act one proved interest- ing and act two was anxiously awaited by all. The lights were dimmed, and then the curtain rose on the second act. The lead was taken by Jack Skinner, as president, and his understudy was Ethel Morton. The human loud speaker was Bill Moery. Mr. Greene now took over as the director of the play. The entire class played a part in this act by collecting more magazines for the men in service than any other cast of players. In the field of football, honors were won by McDonnell, Kingery, Dickerson, and Hanna. Kingery took the honors in the basketball scene by being made a member of the first team. One of the outstand- ing and unusual scenes of this act was a pep assembly. The South Central Debate championship was captured by Bill Moery. The school echoed with applause as the curtain lowered on Act two. 1943 found the cast carrying on under wartime conditions. Things like gas, canned goods, meat, sugar, and shoes were rationed, but there was no rationing of school spirit or good times in Old Centen. The spotlight was on Lyle Kingery, president, and Bill Storer, vice-president, with Ruth Gower, loan Hyde, and Bob Evans filling the other major parts. This year we unanimously decided on our class memorial. We voted to purchase a bronze plaque to be a memorial to all Centennial boys and girls sewing in the armed services during this present war. Wartime activities did not occupy all the show. Three junior girls, Virginia Carson, Gladys' Speakman, and Betty Lou Nafe, were finalists in the Hesperian Page Eighteen
