This year, as always, members of the Centennial P. T. A. have continued to perform their valuable service of bringing together the students, faculty, and parents of thc school. The theme for this year was ''Understanding-Cooperation-Friendship. An attempt has been made to have both students and faculty contribute to each program, thus helping members learn more about school activities. Programs this year were presented by the administrative staff of the school, vocal and instrumental music departments, speech department, founder's day committee, student council, and the home economics department. This year's officers were: Mrs. Elmer Rizer, President, Mrs. C. Pr. Studinski, Vice President, Mr. Frank K. Smith, Second Vice President, Mrs. A. B. Chasteen, Secretary, Mrs. Joe B. Brady, Treasurerg and Mrs. Herschel Norris, Historian. Under these officers, the P.T. A. has again been an inspiration and help to students and teachers of Centennial. DOUGLAS UNFUG Page Sixteen

Q ,ik it BILL MATTOON DALE KERR IACK LESTER JACK ALLISON 45512601 olfisfofcy Creeping into Ole' Centen's halls, on a September day in 1943 came a timid, yet hopeful group which soon made itself known as the Class of '47. In the spring days of this year, members of this group looked back over the past while eagerly awaiting what the future brought. Those who guided the class through its first and awe-inspiring year were jack Parsons, Morton Rosenblum, Steve Dunda, Carol Colby, and Stuart Comer, who finally succeeded in making heard their 'rahl rahl rahl rah! freshmen! With the aid of Mr. William jehle, who managed to kee the group headed in the right direc- tion, these newly-arrived frosh were off to a flfying start. Loyal Bulldogs that they were, they supported all school activities, and showed their loyalty to our country by working arduously on paper drives and saving coke money to buy War Stamps. Also they were scholastically inclined: Kathryn Miller and Douglas Unfug proved their ability by winning the Shakespeare Scholastic Awards. The class really began to show its worth during its sophomore year, aided by the efforts of a permanent sponsor, Miss Crace Cunningham, and encouraged by the new principal, Mr. Frank K. Smith. Steve Dunda came into power as president, assisted by John Chamberlain, Barbara Lee Haynes, Carol Colby, and Chief-Yeller Tommy Ruegg. Once again Douglas Unfug won a coveted prize, the Davis Latin Medal. Nineteen forty-five election returns revealed that Julian Amaya was to be class president, with lack Parsons, Rosa Witsell, Jack Allison, and Jimmy Smith filling the other official positions. To prove they were still going strong scholastically, Douglas Unfug and Mary Ann Altaffer received the Time Awards, and Ruth Kelson won the I-Iesperian essay contest. Momentarily inclined sentimentally, the class Udolled up the halls with red hearts and lace doilies for Valentine's Day. In co- operation with the basketball team and the various classes, the class inauguarted the Coronation of a Basketball Queen and attendants. Their senior year at Centennial began with renewed enthusiasm and a new school governing body, the Student Council. Earl Hobbs became the first president of the student body under this new order, and Tom Ruegg, Rosa Witsell, and James O. Smith, yell-leaders, everyone anticipated a best year in Centen's history. Cer- tainly it has been a victorious one. With Bill Mattoon as class president, Dale Kerr as vice-president, Kathryn Miller as secretary, Jack Allison as treasurer, and jimmy Smith as class yell-leader, the class hopefully started this, their last year. Early in the fall, however, upon Kathryn's move to Utah, she, as keeper of the records, was replaced by Jack Lester. Page Eighteen
