Dance Highlights April 17 marked the night of the Bunny Hop, the successful junior class dance. Junior-Senior class night, with the theme, “Under the Big Top,” was held to the enjoyment of all. Since 1953 was the coronation year, this was chosen as the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom, which will remain forever in the memories of those who attended. Gridders Boast 7-3 Record The top record was established this year as Central’s football team reached a 7 win, 3 loss peak. Many records were broken as they led the county in offense and defense. Undoubtedly, this year’s team was the best in the school’s history. Closing the Year Class rings were received with excite- ment by the juniors before the end of the year. The following four boys were selected to represent Central at the Boys’ State Convention in Columbus: James Slicker. Carl Hug, Louie Ferro and Jack Feller. Now, as chapter three closes, the class anxiously awaits the many priv- ileges and customs which are traditional with the senior year. Senior Year Chapter 4 The long-awaited senior year has final- ly arrived! The events which are to fol- low form the last chapter in the book of the Class of 1954. In climaxing the book, the seniors will have completed four unforgettable years in which each member played a necessary part. United Seniors Triumph The class held its last election in Oc- tober when the strong campaigning party, United Seniors, took all four positions. Tom Thomas heads the class as president with the assistance of Sandra Francis, Marie Amato and Joe Brozovic. Also assuming their newly appointed duties were the Student Council officers, who included Bob Burns, Sandra Lazar, Kathleen Bamberger and Mike Motter. Meanwhile, the National Honor Society chose for its officers the following three seniors: Jack Feller, Cindy Bast and Marilyn Fisher. Carole Pedrotty Heads Sodality Sister Mary Gemma takes up the posi- tion of moderator for the Sodality of Our Lady while the very capable Carole Pedrotty assumes the office of prefect and John Pellegrene that of secretary-treas- urer. During the year, the Sodality car- ries on its many activities and functions under their motto: To Jesus Through Mary. Junior DiPietro Captains ’54 Squad The honor of captaining this year’s 1954 football squad fell to Junior Di- Pietro. a very adroit athlete. Sandra Lazar, our high-stepping major- ette, led the band down the field. The remaining senior in the line-up was Jose- phine Joseph. The two peppy senior cheerleaders were Jackie Addessi and Pat Shanahan. “Boo Boo Bamberger Reigns as Queen This year’s Football Queen was “Boo Boo” Bamberger with her escort. King Ray Williams. Senior attendants were Alice Gartner and Joe Paul. After the highlight of the evening, refreshments were served and music was supplied by Judd Warstler’s orchestra. Margaret Daniels Stars in “Harriet” A magnificent performance was given by all seniors who participated in the big hit of the season, Harriet.” The cast, with Margaret Daniels and Dave Lung in the title roles, was directed by Sister Mary Beatrice. All those who cooperated in the production and ticket selling added to the success of the play. Meanwhile the Thespian Society was busy inducting new members into their already large group of fine actors. Offi- cers of the Thespian troup are Dave Lung and Carol Glutting. Sodality Sponsors Mardi Gras Preceding the Lenten season, the So- dality sponsored a Mardi Gras dance. The gym was gaily decorated with colorful hats, horns, confetti, balloons and stream- ers. Music was provided by the “Three Sharps.” Sandra Francis Crowned as Queen Members of the 1954 basketball team selected Junior DiPietro as their King who crowned Sandra Francis at the an- nual basketball dance. Senior attendants were Arlene Notturno and James Bowen. Class Night The will and prophecy were exchanged by the senior and junior classes at the Class Night party on May 26. Seniors gave the juniors their many treasures and possessions while the juniors fashioned the seniors’ futures from wild ideas and fantastic dreams. Jackie Henry Crowns Our Lady The great privilege of crowning Our Lady of Lourdes in the grotto was be- stowed this year on Jackie Henry. Her attendants for the formal affair on May 23 were Carole Pedrotty, Joan Scott, Joyce Beddell and Audrey Hurray. Deep Sea Dream Comes True The annual Junior - Senior Prom on May 28 with its setting beneath the sea and the theme of underwater life was certainly a spectacle to behold. The gym was filled with the music of Charlie Pickens while members of the senior class thoroughly enjoyed their last high school prom. As the last chapter of this book comes to a close, we find the seniors leaving Central to make their way in the world. Graduation has finally come and as the members of the senior class march down the aisle, their minds are filled with sat- isfaction for their accomplishments and hopes for the future. After they have left these doors, the book will close and the story will be completed. But for many years to come this book will be remembered— The Class of ’54.”
