Vilchinger, Joe Hackley, Virginia Weadock. Sylvia Sawyer, and Joan Evans, all contributed to its successful publication. Miss Jamison and Miss Stuart are supervisors of the two publications. We thank them for many hours of pleasant reading and hope that the future papers will be as successful. What's that noise? i'That's my teeth. Don't be scaredE 'AW-wh-who's sc-c-c-scared? You arel I ! I I am not-it's your teeth that are chattering! Y If you had any, yours would be tool And besides-you didn't see 'SPOOKS'. Somebody has td die in a murder mystery so Bryant Bower willingly obliged, followed quickly by James Ackerman. Robert Heil portrayed the dignified bachelor, while' Marilyn Stilgen- bauer supplied the love interest. Alta Jayne Clark sleuthed her way to a solution of the whole baffling situation and everybody died happily ever after. Mystery, horror, and suspense deSCr1b'2S accurately, HSpookS, the Troubadourian Club's annual play. In a more serious track ran the Senior Class Play Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which was the last dramatic production in which our class participated. Those tak-ing part were Jo Ann Bogart, Virginia Weadock, Dolores Gast, Elaine Wening, Wavellene Beeler, Ann Weis, Marilyn Claassen, Erma Rehn, Jean Van Horn, Gloria Stark, Ellen Lagos, Jim Caton, Paul Newland, Bob Zumbrun, Dick Trump. Bob Griewe, and managers Robert Golden, Joan Evans,'Betty Myers, John Neely and Jean Bessire. Both of these plays were under the excellent direction of Mrs. Rhonemus. The curtain closed on the last act of a play, a year, and our high school life. Never again will we be so intimate with as many friends. Never again will we be in such close cooperation with our teachers, and although at times we didn't think it so, have a life as pleasant and serene as during our high school. Our sincerest thanks go to Mr. Steiner and Miss Stiles for a most enjoyable senior home room and to our supervisors, Mrs. Romaker, Miss McPheron, Mrs. Breese, Miss McClurg, MISS Bonita Jamison, and Miss Kephart, who have served us faithfully throughout the years. Homer Leach, an excellent principal: Howard Scheuerman, Arwilda Rutledge and all our faculty, whose understanding, patience, and teachings have prepared us for a place in th1S complicated world of today, we salute you. As we leave Central, we leave with a saddened heart and a hope that all of ourbcontacts in future life will be as pleasant. Goodbye and good luck to the new tenants of 307, the Junior class. --PAUL NEWLAND, i'4l eighteen

friends, my esteemed opponent seems to have the impression ------ and so it goes, nghting a battle of words and wit. Many long hours are spent by the debaters of Central, but the results more than justify their labor. Supplied with an inexhaustible knowledge concerning railroads, these juniors talked their way onto the varsity debate squad: Jean Esther Morris, Frederick Rakestraw, Dale Poling, Bob Huffer, Elaine Wening, Bill Parmenter, and Marilyn Claassen. Vv'e didn't suddenly wake up seniors. We weren't surprised. We had worked three years for that privilege. Many times we had cast an envious eye upon 307 and fairly bubbled over with anticipation. Finally we made the grade and answered proudly, SENIORS, when asked what grade were were in. Many times during our high school life we had thought, Oh Boy! To be a senior and then out of school. But when those last days came dangerously close, there were very few of us who didn't feel a pang of regret. Well, this was our last year, and it was up to us to make it the most successful. And I think we did fairly well in fulfilling that requirement. Our oficers and Student Council members were duly elected, and the results were Paul Tarbutton, president: Danny Easton, vice president: Rye Hardy, secretary: Dick Hill, treasurer: and Student Council members, Alta Jayne Clark, Paul Newland, Howard Keller, John Neely, Bob Baker, Don Ammon, and Edith Johnson. Howard Keller was chosen president of the Stu- dent Council. Those boys who played basketball on the junior high and freshman squads were now on the varsity and reserve squads in their junior year and doing a fine job. Following it up in their senior year they turned in the To add more laurels to their already fine record, they won th r e e straight tournament games at the Kenton district meet to cop the district cham- pionship in the finals from South, our admirable oppo- nent. From there we traveled to Columbus only to lose to Martins Ferry by one point. Martins Ferry, after elim- inating the tough Central c o m b i n e, continued with comparable ease to win the state championship. D i c lk Hill received honorable men- tion on the all-state team for his fine defensive playing, while Les D2Vine, Paul Tar- best basketball record since 1930-31 by winning! 12 and losing 4. button, Darrell Schlosser, and Charles Ross each played a most important part in this, our most successful basketball season. Coach Settlemire, a grand fellow and a wonderful coach, doesn't have to have his praises sung: his actions and results speak for them- selves. Whether we have a championship team in the future or not, we'll always be proud of them and the coach, and be behind them one hundred per-cent. Coach Jone's fine football team also received its share of honors by winning six and losing three, and climaxing an already successful season with a decisive victory over South. The boys who received their letters were Paul Tarbutton, Bob Boyd, Ed Penn, Ernest Riegle, Les DeVine, Darrell Schlosser, Jack Blose, and Albert Zulliger. Starting from scratch, our debating classmates again tackled a different question: Resolved: that the power of the Federal Government should be increased. With their usual thoroughness they established their arguments and presented them in such a convincing style that they won the District and State Debating Championship. We also became charter members in the National Forensic League of Ohio, which is quite an honor in itself. Walk into Mr. Boylan's room or the library any evening after school and you would very likely find some of the following working very diligently: Frederick Rakestraw, Bill Parmenter, Marilyn Claassen, Bob Thomas, Dale Poling, Don Amemon, Connie Richardson and Mr. Boylan, a fine coach, assisting and encouraging them through a very successful season. We have always been proud of our musical organizations, which have improved year by year under the direction of Mr. Clark, Mr. Tempel, and our deceased friend, Mr. Evans. This year, the first time in many years, a comic opera Sweethearts, was produced by Mr. Tempel. Our own Metropolitan Opera star, Jean Esther Morris, displayed great singing and acting ability, portraying Sylvia, the leading lady. She was supported by a ine cast. Danny Easton, Natalie Woodruff, and Gene Bryan were the seniors who also played an important part. You have all heard Central High's fine orchestra and band under the direction of Harold O. Clark. You have seen Bob Zumbrun, the drum major, lead the band triumphantly down the field. But it isn't all glamour. Many long hours of practice must be put in by these future musicians. Proof of their success may be seen by the amazing number of ensemble groups and soloists found in the organizations. The choralogue by W. C. Olds and directed by William G. Tempel is ample proof of the superiority of the A Cappella Choir. In addition to several other performances, the choralogue was sung over a nation wide hookup with Alta Jayne Clark acting as narrator. Most of us have enjoyed the bi-monthly publication of the Mirror. The most important factor of its success was the never tiring work of Edith Johson, editor, Paula Bersee, associate editor, Bob Parmenter, sports editor, Jim Ackerman, Bob Baker, Bryanu Bowers, Jim Caton, Alta Jayne Clark, Shirley Haines, Jean Esther Morris, Dorothy Lutz, Mary Watson, Natalie Vloodruff, and Shirley Keve. The book that you are reading now took many months of hard work.
