Centralicm n celebration of Central High Schoolis thirtieth anniversary, the Centralian staff looked back to the nineteen fifties, the decade where it all began. The fifties saw poodle skirts and saddle shoes, sharing the halls with black leath- er jackets and shades. The first gradu- ates sock-hopped their way through school to tunes like HDon,t be Cruel and Jailhouse Rock. They were the first Central class, and the last thirty years have seen many changes. In a special sa- lute to Central, the yearbook staff has captured these changes in a reflective, anniversary edition. Editor Eleanor Ebalo, with co-edi- tor Corey Lewis and assistant editor Andy Garlikov, created the concept for this year's volume and directed the edi- torial and photo staffs in its production. Eleanor explained, The goal of the book was to acknowledge Central's past histo- ry, while preserving the present for fu- ture memories. The yearbook staff put in long hours to produce a quality publication. The task required patience, creativity and flexibility from the staff. There were many new people on the staff this year, and everyone had to help each other to get the book finishedf' stated Holly Martin, yearbook adviser. Once the yearbook was completed, the Centralian staff turned its attention to sales and marketing to pay the pub- lishing and production bills. With the cost of publication rising, this year's vol- ume was the most expensive ever pro- duced at Central, costing over 323,000 742 Yearbook .c 4. Yearbook salutes Central's 30th 'S' .

Teens learn rules of government , izcra y fra 3 iff' hink of allowing our gov- ernment to be run by teen- agers for a whole week. However scary a thought it is, in June of each summer teenagers engage in the learning and exe- cution of the operation of a state. Four boys and four girls from almost every school in Arizona were sent to a week long retreat to learn the principles of the government under which we live. Boys attended their sessions at the campus of Northern Arizona University, while the girls attended at the University of Ari- zona campus. For a week we campaigned, voted, and ran the government of a 51st state. It was exciting to be a part of it, com- mented Dena Pappas. While there, each delegate had the opportunity to run for office at the city, county, and state levels. Involved in the election process were nominations, pri- maries, and even debates where the state nominees were allowed to question one another in front of the whole crew. There were many guests that spoke about gov- ernment and the legalities of govern- ment from first hand experience. There were even some famous speakers: Gover- nor Evan Mecham, and Secretary of State Rose Mofford. Of the members who attended from Central, five of the seven held offices. All of the students got involved and partici- pated, whether they took an office or not. It taught me a lot about the govern- ment we live in, and the responsibilities they have to deal with every day, said Tim Eckstein.
