.fn W 5 it -K 1 EVENTH RADE Entering high school in the fall was a completely new experience as the pupils met up with completely different and confusing environment. They must adjust themselves to these new, insecure surroundings and the idea of having five or six different teachers in several different classrooms instead of one teacher in one classroom. The subjects they take are different also, for they now have cooking, health, general shop, and sewing for the girls, which was not offered in grade school. They can also join the band or orchestra. The first few days of school are the most be- wildering as the seventh graders can be seen wandering on the wrong floor or going to the wrong classroom, but it doesn't seem quite so confusing with the help of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters. For the hrst two weeks of school, members of the Big Brother and Big Sister Club visit the seventh grade session rooms to give much appre' ciated and sought after advice and to answer any questions that the seventh graders may have about activities, clubs. or school life in general. Throughout the year, they slowly begin to become a part of Central as many of the students take advantage of the many opportunities offered. There are many clubs in which they can participate: junior Red Cross, junior High Student Council, -Iunior Y-Teens, and the Youth for Christ Club. Also, this year the Pep Club has divided and now has a junior High Pep Club. The seventh graders begin to meet new friends and become more confident as they join these clubs and attend the acti- vities provided forlthem. There are junior high dances, usually sponsored by the Agona Club or junior High Student Council. An important event for the seventh graders is the junior High Prom which is sponsored each spring by the Agona Club. It is a dressy dance featuring a band. Also the Big Brother and Big Sister Club encour- ages new friendships as it gives several parties during the year for the seventh grade, these students should have learned many lessons in responsibility, cooperation. cour- tesy, and self-confidence. Seventh grade parties sure are fun. Bamey Eric Nancy Richard Leonard Agnew Arnold Bahre Baughn Beandaley 4t D g 6 if . 'ta 'Q 3 ,xii a ' ..

First Week The first week of school is one of the most frustrating and mixed-up weeks of the school year as everyone makes a great change from the summer into the fall season. During the First week the students hurry to school with great anticipation. The seventh graders are anxious to know what it is like at high school. They wonder what teachers they will have and what it will be like with several different teachers. They can be seen during the first week wandering about the hall, lost, and going to the wrong classrooms. The rest of the stu- dents go about the halls with a quick step to their walks, for they too are anxious to see who their teachers will be and what friends they will meet in their classrooms. The classrooms are often quite disorganized the first week as the teacher and students must all become ac- quainted with each other. Class rules and pro- cedures IIlllSt be set before the studens, and seat- ing charts lllllst be made out. Students keep the book stores brimming with sales during the first week as books, paper, notebooks, and other necessary supplies must be purchased. Central's own bookstore is especially busy as there is always a line before school, after school, and at noon. This bookstore is run by two students and supervised by Mr. Laham. Not only are the teachers and students getting their edu- cational policies organized but also extra-cur- ricular activities are started once again. The football and cross country coaches are thinking about their teams. Then too, the oflicers of various clubs are meeting about their projects for the year. The junior and senior classes are beginning to think of good candidates for their classes. The administrators are very busy at this time as they must put the school in running order. The hands behind the scenes are also affected during the First week. The cooks must begin to plan and fix noon hour lunches. The custodians must keep the building heated and are kept busy making repairs and keeping the building and grounds clean. lt is quite evident that all persons connected with the school are extremely busy the first week. ms
