Bill Shunkey, Patsy Pierce, and Carol Montgomery were elected senior members of the advisory council. Early in the year Hardy Summers and Caro- lvn Carson were elected president and vice-president of the student body, and Max Boydston, speaker of the house. In 1951 Central again had a state champion football team. Senior Rough- ers were, Max Boydston, Kurt Burris, Clifton Briggs, Kenneth Evans, Bill Shunkey, Bill Scantlen, Bill Rhoden, Louis Skaggs, David Shelton, Vernon Laster, Rex Reeves, George Wilson, Louis Simmons, and Bill Greenwood. The seniors surpassed in other sports too, such as basketball, tennis, swim- ming, track, and baseball. The traditional class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay was pre- sented twice on the nineteenth of April with great success. In October several seniors took part in the all school play Arsenic and Old Lace. Karlese Cohea won the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Awardg Donna Hard- graves and Joe Young represented Cen- tral at the annual Career Conference at Oklahoma Universityg Barbara Haines and Gerald Mikles led their class in the Curtis Magazine Campaign. The class brought to a close their high school days with four very impor- tant activities, the senior picnic, which was held at Greenleaf where everyone had a wonderful time: the senior ban- quet, which preceeded the junior-sen- ior prom was lovelier than every the Baccalaureate Service: and the long awaited Commencement. When looking back over our days at Central our thoughts might be ex- pressed in these words of our school song .. .When leaving these old halls and comrades too, We can't keep back a tear or brooding sighg Nor can we'er forget the days we lovedg Long live the Spirit of Central High!
