SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1941 — Eager, yet shy; frightened, but glad; the one hundred and forty-four new Centralites, termed “Freshmen,” came to take their first steps at Catholic Central. They elected class officers and from there proceeded to make their first play at Central, “The Christmas Party,” a huge success. To display the dramatic talents of the Freshmen, several of them took part in the annual Amateur Show. For their enjoyment, the Freshmen were given a Christmas party so that they could get acquainted. The girls’ basketball team showed exceptional ability when they captured the title of “Intramural Champs” in their very first year. The boys, too, exhibited their athletic- ability when two of them had the honor of being on the school varsity. The peak of glory at Central was the erection and the completion of Our Lady’s Grotto which brought the year to an end, a year that may be looked back upon as very successful.
