honors for their brilliant work in basketball. Bob Hutchinson, Bob Belcher, and George Boyle spread dazzling star-dust in the Vodevilg while Betty Amstutz was a Hnalist in the Girls' Reading Contest. Lucille Allen, star de- bater, and Bob Hutchinson, Editor of the Centennialight, kept our scholastic honor bright: while Jeannette Marquardt and George Boyle reaped artistic honors by winning prizes in the Clean-Up Poster Contest. The end of our Junior year and the oncoming days of vacation saw the stars of the Juniors still bright and steady. As the light of the heavens rose on the last of our four years in Centennial. our stars were still high. Mrs. Earnworth was still our ruling star, and her assistants were the ever-faithfuls, Don Morton, Ray Gatza, Evelyn Laramey, and Anna Mae Stephan. The last year proved to be a blinding spectacle of glory and achievement. Catherine Preston, Virginia Anne Newitt, Jeannette Mar- quardt, Bill Milne, Patricia Highfill, and George Boyle filled the star positions on the Annual. Senior stars studded the cast of the Vodevil. Brilliant players went out to combat when the Seniors furnished Victor Raymond, Harold Wolf, George Amaya, Charles Blatnik, Floyd Ratliff, Lee Murphy, and Ralph Lindsey for the football team. ln December the Senior Expression class presented Why The Chimes Rang, a play of luminous beauty. The cast was composed of Alma Rule, Bob Belcher, Billy Litch, George Boyle, Joe Wright, Anna Mae Stephan, Betty Wright, Bert Gallegos, Dorothy Stemple, Oliver Mull, Marion Wittenmyer, Janet Jacobs, and Helen Wolf. Once more Seniors went forth to battle when Harold Wolf, George Amaya, Ralph Lindsey, Charles Blatnik, and Donald Morton responded to the call of basketball. The seniors again dominated the night sky when Joe Wright, Betty Jane Beck, Janet Jacobs, Marion Wittenmyer, Bert Gallegos, Lorraine Spoelstra, Billy Litch, Charles Blatnik, Virginia Anne Newitt, Oliver Mull, and Betty Amstutz appeared in An Evening of One-Act Plays. ln the state basketball tournament none shone more valiantly than our Senior players. Alma Rule, Erank Sollee, and Betty Amstutz appeared in the opera, The Marriage of Nannettef' ln every way the seniors proved their right to a place in the firmament. Shortly after the stars moved on around their course to Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises, the sky took on a solemn hue, and following the pattern of the universe, we bade farewell to Centennial as our constellation sank below its horizon forever. We pause now considering in retrospect our years in Centennial. Time stretches back, a shining pathway of shimmering star dust and softest night- but time well and joyously spent. -GEORGE BOYLE.

LARAMEY We gxfaxy of 1938 The stars were in the ascendant and the mystic portents were favorable when the ruling influences brought into existence the class of l938. In the first year of our existence choice fell upon Mr. Jehle to be our guiding light, as he is to all freshmen. He was assisted by Ray Gatza, George Staples, Evelyn George, and Evelyn Laramey. Stars of the new class began to rise. Ray Gatza, Betty Amstutz, Bonnie Timme, and Jack Noe displayed talents in the Vodevil. Jack Shepherd added to the music of the spheres with his brilliant performances on the violin.

Emelia Acosta and Harold Hoffman won the Shakespeare awards. Many others of the class joined the orchestra, the band, the newspaper, and the annual staff.

Ray Gatza, Don Morton, Evelyn Laramey, and Anna Mae Stephan were her assistants in directing our destinies. Then the heavens began to grow brilliant with our achievements. Lucille Allen was a Vories Medal finalist, and John Wigton covered himself with glory by winning the Davis Latin Medal. Charles Blatnik, Ralph Lindsey. and Har- old Wolf proved themselves dazzling meteors in the field of sport. The end of our second year saw Centennial's glory increased by her sophomore stars. In our third year, Mrs. Earnworth, assisted by Don Morton, Ray Gatza, Evelyn Laramey, and Anna Mae Stephan once more took up the guidance of our destinies.
