SOPHOMORE YEAR The knighthood of chivalry is an independent and voluntary service. The medieval squires and handmaids were ambitious to gain the glory and dignity of knights, but first had to offer service. Thus Gary Hoyman, Diane Little, Carol Stropki, and Tom Farwick willingly accepted the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Climbing the ladder of fame were Fran Paul and Dolores Seifert as varsity cheerleaders, and Judy Staub, Peggy Long, and Barbara Heben as twirling majorettes. The squire stood by to give aid in conflict should his lord be over-matched. Ernie Fritsch and Fred Palumbo were our brave squires on the varsity team. Well could he joust and dance,” said Chaucer of his medieval squire. As football attendant, Charlie Meyer with his miss. Barbara Smith, and Don Wissmar with his damsel, Joanne Sibila, danced well. JUNIOR YEAR They were noble pillars to their order.” As the Christian Brothers arrived and became the boys’ teachers, this saying was exemplified in their efforts. In the ritual of investing men into knighthood, oaths of fidelity and honor were mandatory. So our junior class officers were chosen in mutual trust and confidence. They included Pat Penny, president; Ruth Zengler, vice- president; Charlene James, secretary; and Judy Clark, treasurer. Presidents of the junior boys' homerooms were Chuck Nicola, John Swartz and Pete Carbone. By his generosity, the fast-rising squire was selected for knighthood. Central Catholic's Mission Club was headed by junior, Pat Flanagan, with Helen Boron as vice-president. This loyal leadership was typical of the un- selfish spirits of our future ladies. , , , , (Continued on back cover) STUDENT COUNCIL Charles Nicola Chuck” . . . hard working booster for the seniors.

CLASS HISTORY — By Alice Hayes and Evelyn Hunt FRESHMAN YEAR In the year of Our Lord, 1952, 275 squires and handmaids, at the age of fourteen began their four-year vigil. Medieval squires were to bear the weight of heavy armor, to carve at table, and accompany their knight to war. On Initiation Day, our willing squires and handmaids bore their noblemen’s books, served them at the cafe- teria, supplied them with delicacies, and went with their lords to war — a two-hour battle on the gym floor, con- sisting of wet noodles, raw oysters, baby food, and many more items. A qualification fqr knighthood was keeping promises and being true to one’s lady love. Therefore, our charming handmaids had no reason to worry when their squires promised to pick them up at 8:00 p.m. for the Get-Acquainted dance on November 30. Another duty of the squires was to enforce justice and redress wrongs. Our freshman class chose Louie Thomas, president; Pat Landor, vice-president; Fran Paul, secretary; and Fred Palumbo, treasurer, to fulfill this duty as our officers. The squire checked to see that all his knight’s equipment was polished. As squires, our frosh football team proved by their 10-5 winning record, that they had the polished equipment for future seasons.
