.VX- , 7 , X 5 .V N N El ' I For the second year, the band had an assistant drum maior. This year he was Nelson Farmer. Betty Beeler was the maiorette from the iunior class. ln the spring the band went to Daytona Beach, Florida, for four days to provide music in the bandstand on the Board Walk. The choir made an excellent showing at their Winter Concert, Minstrel Show, and also at the festival. This year Carolyn McClain ioined Carolyn Brown to represent the iunior class as cheerleaders. Early in March, twenty-four iuniors proved them- selves elegible for the Senior Honor Society. The speech arts department presented an excellent play A Man Called Peter ,with Jerry Milstead and Evelyn Lewis giving the leading roles. Also in March, Jane Alexander and Sarah Shelley were chosen to represent Central at Girls' State, while Jerry Milstead and Charlie Hughes were to attend Boys' State. ln April, Richard Trythall attended All Nation Band in St. Louis. Pim Stephenson made us proud to have him as our editor of the regular CENTRALITE. For the first time, Central was chosen to send students to Europe through the foreign exchange rogram. After many letters, talks, and interviews, Bobby Collier and Fred Forbes both went to Germany to live with typical German families for the summer. On Honors Day, Beverly Lock won the schoolwide competition for the English Cup, while Jerry Milstead received the Dramatics Cup. Just one more year to go . .

J XPQ .:-5 When summer gave way to autumn, we again climbed the hill to Central--Seniors , at last. The dreams and hopes of three years had finally become a reality. We had quite different reactions from that which we had expected--we entered our last year with a deep reverence and love for our school. As we determined to make our senior year our best, this was Our most important election. We chose our leaders to be Jonny Wolfenbarger as president, Charlie Mont- gomery as vice president, Jane Alexander as secretary, and Bobby Collier as treasurer. Miss Nannie Lee Hicks and Colonel Nathen Eubank guided us through our last year at Central. Chosen as our football leaders were Jack Roberts, captain and Earl Crosland, co-captain. Three boys of our class made All County, they were Charlle Severence, .lack Roberts, and Jim Lockwood, Our basketball team has as their captain Don Medley and and as alternate captain Ronnie Pollard. The team showed excellent sportsmanship and were stiff competition for our opponents. The Bobkittens had a successful seasonwith Audrey Zink and Margie Rogers as captain and co-captain, respectively. Most of all, the spirit of the teams and spectators fallback on the cheerleaders. Two of them were from our class-- Carolyn Brown and Carolyn McClain. Our class was honored to have an ex- change student, Gill Smithfrom New Zealand. During the year she made many American friends. Everyone who knew Gill will always bubbling spirit. A number of small plays were given throughout the year, the biggest of these was CINDERELLA in which Peggy Flowers played the leading role. One of the hardest working Centralites was Charlie fu 51 remember her vivacious personality and mg l il' ' x 5 Hughes--the editor of our annual. TO'-In Fi , 121 'NA 4:1 Ac- Q 7 , J lp og! As usual, the band had a successful year. They took a concert tour of East Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky in A ril. Four members were chosen to re- present Centralain the All State Band Clinic. Leading this great band was drum maior Nelson Farmer. Three of the pretty maiorettes were from the senior class: they were Sandra Lovell, Margie Rogers, and Betty Beeler. Mr. Sanders' main proiect was a Hi-Fi set-- the first one in the countr ! After an excellent con- cert and unusual minstrel show, the choir was well on its way to be the best in the history of Central. The traditional Baccalaureate Sermon took place at Central Baptist Church on Sunday, May 26, 1957. We received our diplomas at the graduation cermonies at the University of Tennessee on Friday night, May 31, l957. The end of this year drew the curtain upon the high school careers ofour friends and classmates, and we are indeed thankful for the opportunities which have been offered to us here at Central. We wish to thank our wonderful faculty for their work in making our high school days so worthwhile. We sincerely hope that as our experiences will continue to be as profit- and enioyable through the rest of our lives as the last four years have been.
