VX .N XS ,L 631 asses c I The l907 graduates, including both January and June classes, numbered thirty-nine, thirty girls and nine boys. At the June commencement exercises held in the La Crosse Theater, Professor Terry of Chicago delivered the address. The new high school, the only one in the city, housed four complete grades, nine through twelve. Because of mid-year prpmotions, there were eight classifi- cations, the freshmen, advanced freshmen, sophomores, ad- vanced sophomores, juniors, advanced juniors, seniors, and ad- vanced seniors. Each of the eight classes was organized with a president, a secretary, and a treasurer. -' -Each also had a yearbook committee responsible for a sec- tion of the annual. Several of the classes selected a motto, a color, and a flower. The advanced seniors added their choice of fowl the owl. w W I M P'fliDJlwfVl s, X - 0 .s 4,0 700 .Q 1 as as W: s QW X

....,. Leaving her home on North 22nd Street, Beth is ready for adventures abroad. The Roy Biehn residence in Wedgewood Valley becomes home to Francoise during the school year. Z e81fuJa11'4 For the second year in succession Cen- tral's exchange student program sent teen- agers each way across the Atlantic. To us from Tours, France, came Francoise DuBois, a senior. Study in a foreign country is no novelty to her, since she spent four years at school in London, from which she returned to her native city for the first three years of high school. ln her early childhood she knew first the threats of war and then the invasion. Both parents were sent to concentration camps. Francoise was seven when her mother was re- leased and returned to Tours, where she is now an accountant for the American Army. With other foreign students Francoise will tour the United States in June, all under the direction of the American Field Service. Representing Central, Beth Varco spent the summer of i956 in Europe, where she liv- ed with the Wolf family in Kulnbach, Bavaria. Language proved no difficulty since the entire Wolf family spoke English. For three weeks Beth helped refugees in an International Youth Camp in Freiburg, Germany. This group of twenty teen-agers, representing six coun- tries, worked seven hours each day and then entertained themselves with s i n g i n g and games. They also went on sight-seeing trips to Switzerland, France, and the Black Forest. Francoise and Beth prepare a tape recording to be broadcast over WKBH during American Education Week in November.
