AS LIGHTHEARTED FRESHMEN. WE WERE YET WEIGHED DOWN WITH FEAR OF BEING OVERPOWERED BY UPPERCLASSMEN. BUT WRITING OUR AUTOBIOGRAPHIES FOR ENGLISH HELPED US TO DISCOVER OURSELVES AND OUR PERSONALITIES. THIS GAVE US THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO CARRY ON. During our Sophomore year we asserted ourselves! We had the satisfaction OF ACHIEVEMENT. WE FACED OUR JUNIOR YEAR WITH EAGERNESS. WE HAD EARNED THE TITLE OF CHAMPIONS OF CENTRAL--IN LUNG POWER ! As Juniors we began to realize our unity in producing Neptune s Ball. We HAD THE STRENGTH OF A UNITED FAMILY. ALL WORKING TOGETHER AS ONE. After three years of waiting, our dream came true. We were Seniors. Our ABILITY TO CARRY THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCCESSFULLY. TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO SHOW INITIATIVE HELPED MAKE US THE LEADERS OF THE SCHOOL. WE WERE PRE- PARED THROUGH GUIDANCE. FORMAL INSTRUCTION AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES TO LEAVE SCHOOL AND BECOME CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY. An example of the Seniors1 initiative is demonstrated in our Super Salesmen. WHO BROUGHT IN THE MOST MONEY IN THE RAMBLER AD DRIVE. THEY PROVED THAT the Seniors can work together as a team and obtain good results. Graduation means good-bye. But the Seniors will never say good-bye to the HAPPY MOMENTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE WORKED AND PLANNED TOGETHER: THE DAY OF PREPARATION FOR RETREAT. THE SENIOR PLAY. THE CHRISTMAS HOLY HOUR. PUBLIC PRO- CESSION AND BLESSING OF THE CRIB. THEY WILL TAKE WITH THEM THROUGH EACH OF LIFE’S HOMECOMINGS’ THE MEMORIES OF CLASSMATES AND TEACHERS. SUCCESSES AND FAILURES. HEARTACHES AND HAPPINESSES. THEY WILL GO TO THEIR ETERNAL HOME- COMING ENRICHED WITH GRACES OF KNOWLEDGE AND VIRTUE RECEIVED DURING THEIR YEARS AT CENTRAL.
