Come in to meet and talk with the general managers of the Big Top, see one of the most enthusiastic, vigorous, and hard- working groups under our spacious tent! Yes, the General Organization of Central High School might be considered a group of general managers of student problems and affairs. Each term this organization hears complaints and suggestions from students who want to maintain Central's reputation as a first rate school. The results of these discussions are usually actions which serve their pur- pose and help to run our school more smoothly, The fall term was manaed by a capable group that lived up to the high standards of their offices. James Norris as President, George Col- man as Vice President, and Sonia NeJame as Secretary started the ball rolling. Joyce Hackett served as the first Treasurer of Central. Our school spirit and enthusiasm was pepped up I-:if considerably by a festive celebration of Papa Cen- tral Day. All the students cast aside their regular ,., clothes and attended classes clad in blue jeans and bright plaid shirts. As is the tradition at Central, l ! ' Papa Central was at the mass pep rally at the Court House with his not-so-beautiful daughter, Betsy. C To end the special holiday there was a sport dance for everyone. At the suggestion of General Organizations a 1 change was made in the corridor traffic system of if our school. The old up and down system of stairs I was abolished, and now a student may use any stairs for going up or down. Mr. William Hogan as faculty advisor is sup- ported by a stimulated and eager group of General Managers. Page Twenty-Four

Don't go home, folks, until you've met our general managers of the Spring General Organization .... Come in and talk with them, they have plenty of ideas for fun and laughs .... Don't go home until you've met George Colman, the President of GO., Mary Ann McDonald, the Vice President, Mary Lucas, the Secretary, and Jack Russell, our Treasurer ,... Meet the entire organization that has been constantly on the GO all term. Yes, the Spring General Organization was as lively and enthusiastic as that of the Fall. The new officers strove to keep up the excellent reputation of their student government and were very successful in carrying out their purpose. Under these new leaders the G.O. meeting served as the birth place for many new and radical ideas. Very noticeable among these was a request that the library be open for student use during the lunch hour and until four- thirty in the afternoon. A survey was taken in the If Q , x homerooms following this suggestion. lt was found Q Z ' S that the majority of students favored the proposal E E C W and that they would all find the new system useful. X Nf LSC As a result, after the librarian and the faculty heads kgq qjj W had given their approval, the libary functioned un- LZ' der a new time schedule for the rest of the term. The student government also purchased a new Lg memorial honor roll of Central's boys who lost their f lives in the service of their country. During the war f an appropriate temporary list of names was hung in the corridor at the main front entrance, but this thoughtful group recognized the need for a perma- nent record. The student body of Central may well , be proud of its student government. Page Twenty-Six
