SENIOR ,NX .XXX Senior officers for 1952 were Bard Dunkelberger, president, Patty Myers, vice president, Dick Collins, treasurer, and Phyllis Nichols, secretary. The Senior Class of 1952 began its last year at Central High with the election of Bard Dunkelberger as president of the class, Pat Myers, vice-president, Phyllis Nichols, secretary, and Dick Collins, treasurer. Ear- lier in the year, Bob Sturm and Sonya Hively were elected president and vice-president of the student body, Jackie Swicegood, speaker of the house, and Bill Ricketts, Tucker Moore, and Gaye Layne McReynolds, mem- bers of the advisory council. The seniors in Central's Speech Depart- ment have come to great fame during the past few years. Among those of 1952 were Wesley Hornback, who rated superior in all debates during the first semester, and Pat Meyers, who was voted the most outstanding senior girl in Oklahoma debating. The I Speak for Democracy contest was won by Mary Ellen Ritan, and Forney Sandlin placed first in the essay contest, What the Bill of Rights Means to Me. Another senior, Sonya Hively, placed fourth in the National Speech Tournament, held in Los Angeles, California, during her junior year. Seventeen seniors held positions on the outstanding Rougher football team of 1952. Two of these, Virgil Bolinger and Preston Carpenter, were chosen for the North-South team. Many other seniors participated in basketball, baseball, tennis, track, and golf. The Senior Class led this year in the Curtis Campaign, with Mr. Cadwalader's homeroom placing first with over one-ninth of the total sales. Carol Kleppinger was high salesman for the class with 3240, and Mark Schooler, who was high salesman during his junior year, ran a close second. Early in the year, several seniors, who had been in past plays, took roles in Stage Door, the all-school play. The traditional senior play, Green Valleyfl was presented in three performances on April 23, 24, 25, and was one of the best ever to hit Central. The good old days at Central were brought to a happy close with several outstanding events: the annual senior picnic held at Greenleaf, the senior banquet, and the junior- senior prom. At last came the Baccalaureate and the Commencement, which most of the seniors thought would never arrive.
