SENIORS Senior year is always a busy year. It is a year of activities and a year of academics. It is a year of memories of the past and expectations for the future. It is a year of saying good-by to Central and saying hello to the world. Senior year is the year for taking a big step forward - a challenging step. 5, x' 'E I 'jj 7 N, , JKJV A ,bn we Jn 5 HJ X -We A Q iff, 1 7X J ', .L-,px - X .by . 'x. N Q ' ..

SENIORS ACHIEVE ON ROUTE '66 wi, THE OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS Rod Haworth, Presidentg Shari Hunziker, Vice President, Sue Barnes, Secretary, Mr. Gerdts, Advisor, Skip Walker, Treasurer. In September 1862, 366 scared little freshmen were introduced to the noisy, exciting life at Central. They were awed by the size of the school, the piles of homework they were expected to do and the impor- tance of the big seniors. After adjusting to the pace of the academic life and the social life, they found both enjoyable. There was always plenty of enthusiasm whether they were slicing onions for biology slides or reading Great Expectations. When Central's basketball team won the City and District Championships and advanced to the Regions, the freshmen were the most enthusiastic of all. The next year students from Marshall Junior High and Highland Junior High joined the Sopho- more Class expanding it to 786. The class elected its officers in the fall. In February, the Sophomore Sweetheart Dance was made possible through the efforts of the class officers and representatives. The class selected its first queen, the Sophomore Sweetheart, to reign over this event. Team teaching was tried in world history. The lectures, attended by a large number of students each hour, were held in the auditorium. The stu- dents also participated in seminars. Upperclassmen at last! The Junior class 611 strong, had new faces in its ranks. Many of Central's former students now attended the new Highland Park Senior High and others joined us from the former Wilson High School. The class officers were elected, class rings were ordered. Eating in the Jr.-Sr. lunch- room was considered a privilege. Junior essays and MSAT tests were struggled through. It was a great year for sports as Central's football team placed first in the City, while the basketball team advanced all the way to the State Tournament, capturing the Consolation Championship. Senior year, the most exciting year, was over all too soon! The Student Council officers, elected the previous spring, went to work on Homecoming immediately when school began. The last Home- coming was just as much fun as the first one had been. As November drew near, final preparations were being made for the Senior Class trip. On No- vember 8, 113 Seniors left the St. Paul Union Depot for Washington D.C., New York, and Gettysburg. They arrived home one week later tired, but happy. Class keys were ordered and senior pictures were distributed among friends. The Jr.-Sr. Prom was held in the spring. It was nice for the seniors to be able to relax as guests, fully aware of the work needed to make it successful. Senior Day was spent in the traditional manner of a day long picnic and an assembly held in honor of the seniors' athletic and academic prowess. It was hard to believe that the seniors were Centralites no longer, but the graduation ceremony madeitareality. The seniors have now said good-by to Central and must continue their journey on the road to the future - The Road of Challenge. ,
