SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We entered High School in September, 1947, as one of the largest. 9th grade classes in Central. We felt that our school year was truly launched when we met to elect our class officers. Those entrusted with the official responsibilities of 9-A section were: Wanda Groves, President, Gene Reiber, Vice Presi- dent, Nancy Clark, Secretary, and Robert Haugen, Treasurer. For 9-B section the officers were Bobby Cook, President, Janet Metz, Vice Presi- dent, and Lucy Lee, Secretary-Treasurer. 9-A and 9-B boys and 9-A and 9-B girls competed against each other in basketball, 9-B boys and 9-B girls came off the victors. Some members of the class represented us in the track events, in the minstrel, in the cantata, in basketball, in soccer, and in the bird club. There were also two reporters from each section for the paper Tiger Tales. May Queen attendants for our Freshman year were Wanda Groves and Glenna Lyden. The Heralds also came from our class-Sally Mc- Partland and Lucy Lee. After a long and happy vacation, we returned to school as important Sophomores to play our part in the life and the activities of Central. A spirited election of officers for our present year resulted in Jean Reinhart, President, Patsy Ann Amoroso, Secretary, and Lucy Lee, Treas- urer. We elected Miss Mayer for our class adviser. Members of our class did commendable work in soccer and in basket- ball during the fall and winter. Valentine Day was taken advantage of when we held our first dance to celebrate that occasion. We now look forward to our last two years of high school life.

9-A CLASS HISTCRY Early in the school year 1948, 9-A organized a home room club. The following were elected to office: Jack Meese, President, Tommy Kelly, Vice President, Bertha Meese, Secretary, Catherine Dye, Treasurer, and Billy Freeman, Historian, Mrs. Sloan, class sponsor. Among the things decided upon at the first meeting were class dues to be paid on the 15th of every month, fthis money to be used to defray any expense that might occurj and a class outing to be scheduled for sometime in the spring. The 9th grade had charge of the Thanksgiving assembly program pre- sented on November 24th. Sixteen out of 38 in 9-A took part. We count among the musically inclined in our home room two pianists, one of these is the school associate pianist, and six who play other musical instru- ments. Four boys from 9-A made the basketball squad - Bill Robertson, Tommy Kelly, Eddie Mclntyre, and Jack Meese, Three girls from 9-A made the girls squad-Leah Jean Cook, Lois Timney, and Joann Duckworth. 9-B CLASS HISTORY The year 1948-49 opened for 9-B class with an enrollment of 39 pupils. Two members withdrew during the year. The Class elected the follow- ing officers: John. Ralston, President, John Rooney, Vice President, Ann Smith, Secretary, and Ardthe McKenzie, Treasurer. Three boys from 9-B on the basketball squad were Jack Moffatt, John Ralston, and Paul Mills. Jean Kitzmiller was on the cheerleaders team. The class under the supervision of Mr. Hodgdon had charge of part of the Thanksgiving assembly program. For the first two six-week periods, 9-B pupils on the honor roll were Colleen Bittinger, Ann Smith, Margaret Leake, and Shirley Warnick. For our Christmas Party, we decorated the room and had a Christmas tree. Pupils exchanged gifts and served refreshments. It was a happy day. We hope our class will have a successful record during our Sophomore year.
