MAKING THEIR WAY Keeping Central co ee a in from the parking lot. eaving the long, hot summer behind and pass- ing through the doors of Central started yet another year and many new scenes. Walking down the halls before first hour, students stop to laugh, gossip, and exchange answers before starting a different day of classes. Quick ‘“‘goodbyes”’ and fast dashes to first hour are often accompanied by yells of ‘‘Meet me at the front doors for lunch,’ and the five minute warning bell. The sounds of slamming lockers and laughter trail off as the bell tolls. A few tired stragglers slip into first hour after the bell, trying to figure out how many tardies they have in first hour. A new picture has set in. Students busy at work in their three morning classes, taking notes, tests and sharing ideas bring on a more serious setting at Central. Finally, lunch arrives and the halls become alive. While some stay in for lunch meetings, or to catch up on homework others meet at the front doors and rush out to the parking lot to get out for a quick lunch, which seems to be a welcomed change of scenery for most. After school a number of different things are going on to keep Central a live until the early evening hours. Sports practices, meetings, Spirit Club work sessions, and making up missed work all occur ‘‘after hours” as the day unwinds and comes to a close.

The object was to gain yet another victory over Memorial. Monday started off as students tried to lick the competition by consuming two cases of dum- dum suckers at five for a quarter. Blazers stumbled into school on Tuesday dressed as Memorial nerds. Although no one could compare to the opposing school’s “‘nerdiness,’’ Central students con- glomerated stripes, plaids, prints and solids to be as “nerdy’’ as possible. Wednesday followed with glitter and glamour. Most people dressed as their favorite star to gain points for their class. He-weigh-in day was the theme for Thursday as students dressed in “‘Hawaiian’’ attire and weighed in the football players of each class. With 4,400 pounds, the freshmen players won. As the week came to a close on Friday, Central was a wave of blue and white. At the end of the day the Blazers got together and displayed their emotions at the first pep rally. Building pyramids, cheering on graduating years, and having a contest for best blue and white costume polished off the spirit points for the week. Anne Holdeman’s surprising ‘‘striptease’’ brought out a lot of enthusiasm from the crowd. An even more attention grasper was Principal Robert Million’s in- sistence on calling the Mangy Lion the Mangy ‘‘Bear”’ (reminiscent of the Colonial mascot). Mr. Tom Kurth’s positive remarks and excitement for the game gave the crowd and the players enough energy to bring a 14-0 victory and ‘‘Mangy”’ home for the fifth year in a row.
