MARGARET McCOY CHARLES KENADY MISS CUNNINGHAM WAYNE VAN ARSDALE MARJORIE VON GUNDY Citizens of '39 The Constitutional Convention had accomplished so little today. George Washington was tired and discouraged. As he sank into his chair and wiggled off his heavy buckled shoes, he spoke softly to himself, I wonder what America will be like a hundred-and-fifty years from now under this Constitution we're framing? What will the young people be learning in the schools? Will they remember us? Slowly he dropped off to sleep. When that queer whirling sensation in his head cleared, he was astounded to find himself in a school, surrounded by awestricken students. One Senior finally gulped, M-may I help you, sir? Why, yes, won't you tell me what year this is, what school I'm in, and something about your school life? The obliging senior began: This is Centennial High School. I belong to the class of 1939. During our first year Mr. Jehle was our critic. and Bob Menger, Wayne Van Arsdale, Margaret McCoy, and Mary Ann Wert were our class officers. The Shakespeare awards for high' scholarship went to Oliver English and Bessie Hacht. The freshmen participated in many school activities, such as Vodevil, Circus, and Operetta. At the beginning of our second year, Miss Cunningham took over the sponsorship. Wayne Van Arsdale was elected president, Charles Kenady, vice- president, Marjorie Von Gundy, secretary, and Margaret McCoy, treasurer. The Davis Latin Medal was won by Frances Langdon, and Regina Reitemeier won the Vories Debate medal for the girls. Many '39-ers attended the Inter- national Relations Conference at Central, and the class turned out en masse in the Horace Mann Pageant. The boys got their first taste of soldiering in the R. O. T. C. Music-minded students in band, orchestra, and glee clubs helped to make the Annual Vodevil and the Operetta complete successes. ln our junior year, the same officers were re-elected, and Miss Cunningham continued to watch over our destinies. Regina Reitemeier and Catherine Christian gained the finals of the Muzzio Reading contest, with Regina carrying off the honors. The Vories Debate medals were won by Charles Kenady and Frances Langdon. The vocal music department presented a light opera, The Marriage of Narmette and Betty Beaty and Roy Scott captured the leading roles Juniors took prominent parts in An Euenmg of One Act Plaqs presented by the speech classes and also in the featured act in the Vodevil Bob Vining Vernon Edgar Ernie Gottula and Roland Yarberry made up the Junior section PgT X Xi , , .X . . . . ui URM- - ' , 'film V '-'.- . . .
