That9s Entertainment: Central talent come out tonight, Central talent come out tonight! These were the words used during the opening number to summon the other 19 acts in the second annual iiTalent Night With Blue and White. Once again the old stage was brought to life by talented students through acting, singing; and dancing. The show consisted of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who wished to show a little school involvement and express their personal talents as well. All proceeds were divided equally among these classes to be used for various activities throughout the year. Harmonious voices and melodic notes from the band filled the auditorium. With each new act, the faces in the audience changed expression to fit the mood being conveyed. While laughter echoed in the balconies during the colorful skits, a more serious attitude was taken towards the ballads and instrumental pieces. Assistants to the Director Shane Gentry and Ann Smith, along with student directors Amy Firkins, Gail Grable, and Todd Morgan, helped lead the stars through several weeks of dedicated preparation. When asked about the show, Director Mrs. Coleen Thom remarked, iil think this was the most successful yet, both financially and from the public response. Talent Show 27 J 14-3.! 1 Rs

August winds signal the day when all must return to school. Thoughts of rising early and sitting through many long hours of class filter through the minds of students. Registration day brought with it mixed emotions about the ending summer. Carefree days of sleeping late and bumming around would be missed, while at the same time, the anticipation of being reunited with friends and participating in various school activities was something to look forward to. Back-to-school night provided an evening in which parents and teachers could get acquainted. Many students got involved in this event by acting as guides or sitting at information tables. By this time of year, everyone was back into the groove, of going to school and felt pretty at ease with their teachers and schedules. October brought with it chilly breezes and painted leaves. Everyone strove to come up with a frightening costume with which to terrorize the halls on Halloween. As spooks and goblins faded away, mouths began to water in anticipa- tion of that wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. The traditional contest among the teachers, naming Mr. and Mrs. Turkey Legs, was held with the winners being Mr. Roger Price and Mrs. Kathy Northup. A new idea, instigated by the student council, was a i'Grand Turkey contest. Everyone in the student body was given a turkey feather to place in their favorite teacheris pouch. The teacher with the most feathers was Mr. Tony Dudik or iiThe Grand Turkey. As a new school year begins and fall pro- gresses into winter, Central's one-in-a-million attractions blos- som providing a retreat from the everyday routine. Miscellaneous
