Their sons were wearing something called a ducktail on their heads, and leather jackets with words like crusher or daredevil on the back. Their daughters were twisting around the house in saddle shoes while their ponytails danced up and down. On any Friday night' they may have seen their young lady crawl into her fellow's hot rod and head out to a dance sponsored by the new Centrusa club. There they would rock around the clock to the tunes of Chubby Checker orthe Platters and discuss the decision to change Central to Elmer H. Garinger High School and relocate in a diffe- rent part of town. A few girls from the new sophomore club Adelphians may have shown up in their Angora sweaters looking for their very own imitation of james Dean. The underlying atmosphere of the 50's was reaching towards the realism that was to over- take the nation two decades later - ln troduction X 7

W The annual staff would like to dedicate the '76 edition of Snips and Cuts to Miss janet Robinson. Miss Robin- son began teaching at Central High in 1936. She had also attended Central as a student and had the honor of serving as president of the Student Council. During her years as the Bible teacher at Central and Garinger she has stood as a source of inspiration for all who have come in contact with her. Due to this she has earned the position of a much sought after speaker on topics related to the Bible. The total belief and dedica- tion she feels toward her subject evokes a spirit of admiration. ln dedicating this annual to you, Miss Robinson, we represent all who know you in extending thanks for the time, patience, and love you have expressed through the years. t.,,L.,,f,f..c.'.f.. if Wi r-.rg 5 .ft 553 Qsgszgsisgsrjsifg- . i..ss WQSNJ: Dedication X 9
