Freshman Class Chapter 1 The date, September 6, 1950. The set- ting, the new Central Catholic High School. The first chapter is being un- folded in a book entitled “Class of 1954.” As the freshmen enter with an air of ex- citement and wonderment about the fu- ture, they have no idea what events will enter into the pages of this book between now and the closing chapter. Dedication Laying of the cornerstone took place in September with Bishop Emmet M. Walsh officiating at the ceremony. Thus, the girls of Mount Marie and the boys of St. John’s were united to form Central Catholic High School. Initiation Freshmen faced initiation as knights and ladies of the medieval period. Throughout the day, freshmen were bow- ing meekly and escorting seniors with their books to classes. The eventful day ended with a very enjoyable Box Social in the gym. Class Officers Elected The freshmen exercised their first voting privilege in November. Casting votes for their favorite representative, results showed Wallace Hailey, Tom Wy- att, Mary Jo Tracy and Ernie Scazzorella with top honors. Freshmen Exceed All Records Football and basketball equally showed that the freshmen had great ability in sports. Their records clearly indicated that this year’s season far surpassed any previous one. Results: football—9 wins, 1 loss; basketball—19 wins. 2 losses. Freshmen Join Sodality In March, a large number of the class of '54 were received into the Sodality of Our Lady during the beautiful ceremony in the chapel. Immediately after, a re- ception was held for the new Sodalists in the cafeteria. First Dance Held A country style dance was the fresh- men’s big social event of the year. The success of this dance boosted their hope and confidence for bigger and better events. Attendants Named The annual athletics frolics were held in the K. of C. Ballroom. In football, the freshman class was represented by Shir- ley Hoagland and Junior DiPietro and in basketball by Marlene Boron and Ray Williams. Chapter One Closes As the first year rapidly closes, we find the freshmen a little less bewildered and a little more accustomed to the school. They have found new friends and have gained valuable experience which, they feel sure, can never be equalled. Sophomore Year Chapter 2 The class of ’54 begins »he second chap- ter with their eyes on the future. More and more events occur to add interest and variety to their school year. Rite Party Elected The second chapter begins with the “Rite party taking office. The new of- ficers were Dick Wachtel, president; Carole Pedrotty, vice president; Pat David, secretary, and Jack Feller, treas- urer. The newly inaugurated campaign system proved to be an interesting ex- perience to all students. Sophomores Stage Dance Socks seemed to be in season as the sophomores staged another big social event, a sock hop. Leaving their shoes at the door, boys and girls alike joined in the fun as another successful dance got underway. Frolic Attendants Concluding the basketball season, Mari- lyn Hanley and Dave Devore represented the sophomore class at the basketball dance in the K. of C. Hall. Attending the football queen on Thanksgiving Day were James Laher and Cindy Bast. DiPietro Makes All-County During the athletic season of 51, a five- game winning streak was established. In Central’s short Class A history, this was the first record. Junior DiPietro, the sophomores’ No. 1 athlete, made the All- County first team. Seniors Guests of Sophomores The closing of chapter 2 shows the class of ’54 serving breakfast to the graduating class after the Baccalaureate services. Thus another chapter is coming to a close while a new junior class is being formed. —★— Junior Year Chapter 3 With the opening of the third chapter, we find the class at the half-way mark and they now credit themselves with be- ing upperclassmen. As the plot progresses, elections are held with three offices going to the “Jerk Party” and the remaining one to the Centralite party. The results showed: Whitey Gang, president; Sonnie Lazar, vice president; Eleanor Kraemer, secretary, and Wallace Hailey, treasurer. Football and Basketball Frolic The annual football frolic was held with Dave Piero and Mary Jo Kennedy representing the juniors. In like manner, Jim Bowen and Arlene Notturno were selected basketball attendants. Sodality Sponsors Convention The first of April marked the Future- amic Convention, which consisted of dis- plays from various colleges, industries and professions. The displays and con- ferences of the convention added con- siderably to the decision the seniors have to make regarding their future.
