We went to more games, veiled a little louder, played a little harder, won a little more and had a lot more fun. And homecoming generated more spirit than ever. . . . Hey Chargers 5 a new century Bicentennial, Bicentennial, Bicentennial. We’ve had it up to our ears. How can we do anything for it? It doesn’t involve us. It sure did involve us. The first question was answered with Chargin' up the new century. We got rolling right into a pulsating spirit and involvement that we hadn’t seen for awhile A Bicentennial Club was formed. And all of this set Centennial on its way to Chargin’ up a new century — the Charger way. 7 8 9 17 6 32 0 CHARGERS RULE TWIN-CITY ABOVE Quenton Hillsman break through to lead the Charger to their first victory over Central.

As the sea- son progressed the Striders faced many ups and downs but had a great time in the proc- ess. The sophomore Rookies” learned fast that they had a lot to learn from the Seniors. A lot was accomplished this year, an average record, a lot of work and a lot of fun. 19 s rno'-Ttns WHAT A KICK! Lancers have put a real kick in our assemblies and halftimes this year. Many hours of work went into each performance. At the beginning of the year. Lancers were spotted selling ice cream at the Southwest doors to help cool everyone off after school. Also they appeared in the halls burping their tight-sealed Tupperware, trying to make that sale. But most importantly, the Lancers in addition to the cheerleaders, worked to bring that Charger Spirit even higher.

Chargers traveled to Normal only to be upended by the Ironmen. The effects of this setback, seemed to take the edge off of the Charger attack the following week against Springfield Southeast. After two straight losses, our future looked dim. But we came back. We rolled past hopeless Jacksonville 40 6, and decisively defeated Griffin in Springfield 21 to 18. Chargers upheld the Centennial tradition by winning their homecoming game against league leading Mai Arthur. The Generals had previously been averaging 31 points per game, but the staunch Champaign defense shut them down. The Chargers continued their streak by traveling down to Decatur and flashing past Eisenhower. Midway through the first quarter it started to drizzle and continued to build into a ferocious thunderstorm. The next week under better conditions. Centennial whipped Lanphier to conclude a conference winning season. BOTTOM LEFT Jeff Morrow scrambles for another Charger touchdown. MIDDLE Leading Charger reserves await their opportunity for varsity action. BOTTOM Capitol Conference leading rusher Quentin Hillsman turns it up the field. 23 THE THRILL OF VICTORY When the season ended, the Charger squad was in limbo. They had swept their last five games against the toughest of league competition and ended up in a three way deadlock for first place. All three of the conference champions had 1-1 records against each other. The Chargers had defeated Springfield Griffin by a narrow three point margin. Griffin had squeezed by Normal Community by two points. The Normal Iron men had previously beaten Centennial by one point in Normal. The conference representative to the state football tournament would have to be determined by a vote of the league’s coaches. The case for Centennial looked strong. The Chargers had outpointed their opponents by a greater margin than any other team in the Conference. Quentin Hillsman led the conference in rushing, and Jeff Morrow teamed up with receivers Ken Davis and Steve Justus to form one of the most explosive passing attacks in the area. After the two early upsets, the Charger Machine seemed to be gathering momentum as the season went on. Despite all these factors in our favor, Griffin was voted the Conference representative.

We wondered if our football team would break its tradition of never losing a homecoming game, or if we would be asked to the dance or who should we ask or wondering to whom to send a mum. We decided not to let the school down with an apathetic student body so we were abundant in spirit. Each day was fun one from Sock It to ’Em” to 50 s Day to Hats Off” day to the final and most important True Blue” day. The school day ended with an assembly to beat all others and then on to our parade, the biggest in Centennial’s history. The Varsity Show built up spirit to its peak as we all readied for the game. Knowing that victory was ours made the excitement in the air electric.

Centennial lived up to their mascot of 'Chargers’ as we rolled over Decatur MacArthur Generals. Halftime came on a 50’s note, and at its peak, queen, Wendy Rice, was crowned, while junior class won float competition. During second half, we were ecstatic as Centennial degenerated the Generals, 17-6. And on the following night, our dance, with the theme of 'Lost in a Dream’ saw more people at the dance than any other in school’s history, as Quenton Hillsman was crowned king. All in all, it was a homecoming to remember. What is it like to be a queen?

Student Council supplied us with food, entertainment and school spirit throughout the whole year. First they started with popcorn and pop to generate energy during those cold football games. Next they entertained the school with rousing pep assemblies and let us witness little added surprises such as taffy covered onions.” Student Council also brought to us the exciting movie Cool Hand Luke.” But Student Council isn’t all fun, they also do serious business. They raise money for worthy causes and organize such school activities as Homecoming and Vice-Versa. 32 ABOVE LEFT The assembly ringmaster, Wendy Rice, organizes and leads all assembly activities ABOVE RIGHT As Janet Pmgry waits, Rick Zetgler is thinking he had twenty dollars before dinner LEFT 1975-1976 Student Council — FIRST ROW: Kim Keck, Chris Filcccia, V Pres .

The comedy, taking place in Okinawa, featured oriental music, costumes, and make-up.

Rehearsals running late into the night, unfinished homework, and skipped dinners are some of the things members of the play sacrificed to put on such a successful show.

There was always a sigh of relief when a section was mailed in to the publishing company and then going on to finish up more pages.

The EGO staff tried something new this year. They had a contest every month for the best story, poem, or picture submitted to them. If you were low on cash, it was very worthwhile to submit something because five dollars was awarded to the winner. Reciting poetry, prose readings, duet acting, extemporaneous readings and their interpretations were on the main agenda for Speech Club this year. And Debate Club spent many hours researching natural resources and making files for information. Another mode of communication throughout the world are ham radios, and Centennial has its own Radio Club Communicating is one of the most imponant aspects in life, so it definitely looks like Centennial is keeping up with the world.

Free time was often a rare thing during the school year. Some of us thought that school stopped with that three o’clock tone, but when we stuck around after school during the week, we saw each other participating on those extra” activities. Some of us found that getting that strike in bowling, out maneuvering an opponent in chess, trying to finesse a rival in bridge, and attempting a spike in GAA volleyball could be a very enjoyable pastime. And remember in the fall when homework was done, and you felt like you didn’t have anything to do.' We went out to Spalding Park to watch those grueling flag football games. The Park District not only sponsored flag football, but during the winter months teams had the opportunity to show off their dribbling skills. It is now a proven fact that spare time at Centennial can not be boring if we just stick around awhile. €) n c Li r I c n d s 43 ABOVE GAA OFFICERS — FRONT Debt Cotter BACK, left 10 nghe Sandy McCabe, Mr� Bryan, sponsor.

Not many Centennial students have an opportunity to camp overnight in a state park — with tornado warnings But last fall. Conservation Club members went through a terrible storm while attending the Whale Symposium at Indiana University. The trip to the Whale Symposium was held during November, but plans to attend started in September. The club had car washes on two separate days during October to help raise money for the trip. During Christmas vacation, a group of 15 went to Door County Wisconsin to try their luck at hiking, back-packing, and cross country skiing for five days although one- person had frostbite. There was a great deal of ice and snow so it was easy to cross-country ski, but one individual happened to hit a soft spot in the icc and ended up knee high in water. But even with all the fun times the group had camping and traveling, the Conservation Club had time for serious work on whale projects The whales all over the world arc becoming extinct and Centennial's Conservation Club hopes to change the minds of others by wearing the Save the Whales” t-shirt.

But the team and Coach Fredicks can honestly give a big chunk of the credit to their own spirit. What united the team was their friendship beyond competition.

No lunch period is complete without the preliminary weigh-in to determine if they’ll cat or starve. Dieting, running, and practice in general were not all in vain. The Grapplers fought well at home and on the road to elate us with a record of 7-8. Senior leaders Rick Ziegler, Jeff Chaney and Bob Arnold showed the underclassmen that all the punishment was worth it when, time after time, a referee would raise their arm in triumph. Not since the years of Rick’s older brother Ron, had an individual so successfully compiled a record of 25-5.

With a close relationship between the squad they worked well together at the meets. The young team was led by the seniors and gained a lot of experience which will come in handy next year.

But loyal fans cleared the path to witness the first Charger wirf of the year over the Rantoul Eagles, Friday night. Filled with enthusiasm and turkey, the ecstatic mob brought the gym to life Then the next day. the Chargers easily rolled past Pontiac and were on the road to meet their cross town rival As the team, worn out from the afternoon match ran on to the court that Saturday night, they were greeted by a runnel of inspired fans. The packed gym was buzzing The game started off well as the Chargers jumped to an eight point lead. But this was not to last for long as the Tigers drove up and down the court to catch up and make the battle a see saw affair Although the Chargers never lost control of the game, the Tigers were always at their tails. With the stands rarely still and the team on their toes. Urbana couldn't help but feel inferior to our superiority The Chargers came out on top to starting us on our way to a spirited and highly successful season CARBONDALE HOLIDAY TOURNEY The Centennial Basketball team decided to go south for the winter, south to Carbondile The weather was not what you would expect from the south, a slight drizzle hampered the whole trip and we never did see the sun but then we didn't come to see the sun. we came to play basketball and play we did. In the opening game against fifth seeded Herrin, strong guard play was the key as Ken Davis and Phil Langlois forces the Herrin team into many turnovers to put the game on ice and move us into the championship flight. In the next game against fourth seeded Maine East, the Chargers prevailed by three points to assure us of a trophy Next game. Thomndge Thom ridge being the number one seeded team in the tournament and number six ranked team in the Chicago area With play inspired the Chargers frustrated Thomndge in the first half to go in the locker room with a lead. But Thomndge was not ready to call it quits as they came back and were leading with fourteen seconds left to go by one point. We were not ready to call it quits either. Junior guard. Phil Langlois dribbled down for an unmolested layup to put us in the championship game. Coach Jones called it one of the greatest wins in the as a Charger coach and it made the whole season for the players. But the Chargers had to get ready for the championship game against home town favorite Carbondale The Chargers led all the way through the game but a last second shot gave Carbondale the game and first place finish. The coaches were satisfied with the tournament and we. who weren’t expected to go past the second game surprised everyone by our number two place finish. 53 The championship game was quickly under way as Jerry Ramshaw tried to get control of the tip-off CHARGERS EXPERIENCE JEKYLL-HYDE SEASON With previous years predictions to mislead us wc were unsure as to what to expect from the basketball squad. However optimism dominated early tournament play. The Chargers suffered an immediate set-back as they faced state-rated Normal. And from then on the season progressed in a teeter-totter manner. Win, lose, win, lose. Right up and following the Carbondale tournament. The team just couldn’t seem to play with any consistency. Even through Coach Jones at some times had qualms over the seemingly unstable squad the team and the crowd never lost faith or 'umph . We started a three game winning streak by trampling Springfield Southeast and rounded it up with victories over Jacksonville and Hillcrest. Then we went on to be defeated, defaulted and defaced by crosstown foe. Urbana, who wc had previously triumphed over. The season finished out much as it began. Nevertheless, the Chargers were top seeded in the Danville Regional and produced the best basketball record in recent school history. We definitely surprised the school, state, and ourselves with an abundance of ability and overwhelming spirit. ABOVE Defense was a key factor in most of the Charger games.

Many times the team fell to only a 4 or 5 point difference. Although the team often complained of Coach Tomlinson working them too hard, they admitted that more practice could have led them to come out on top in a few of those close games. An asset to the team was the closeness of the group and the friendship which developed. This assisted them in working well together. With this year behind them, the team members realize the work ahead. 56 BELOW TOP ROW Benny Bryan — ass , coach, Dennis Buerkett, Jerry Lange, Larry Brown. Jeff Morrow, Ken Moss. Dave Espescth.

BELOW The sophomore cheerleaders are a vital pan of this formation as in building up school spirit? To a sophomore, high school is not only bigger, old things seem really different, almost new And when the cheerleaders were picked from the sophomore class, they found they had gained a new prestige Although they didn't take much of a share in the limelight, it was a good training if they decided to try out for later years Imagine braving the terror of your first pep assembly Getting in front of people was one of the things they got used to But probably the most important pan of sophomore cheerleading was that they were a great source of support for the sophomore basketball and football teams. Usually sophomore teams don't have as big a following as varsity, but the girls provided the spirit and support to cheer them on. And the girls discovered if sophomore year is a training year, this wasn't a bad way to do it at all 58 We Say Number, You Say One!

The bumper stickers were just one of the money raising projects the Varsity Cheerleaders had. During October, the cheerleaders were spotted at the southwest doors selling taffy apples to help raise money for new uniforms and awards for the sports coaches to show appreciation of their hard work. The chcerleading squad helped the Capitol Conference Co-Champs to spectacular wins by bringing out more fans to the games. The cheerleaders worked together with the Pep Club to produce a spirit unique to Centennial. For the squad itself, it was the agony of standing 3 hours in the pouring rain, with the fans in freezing weather, or driving for hours to find a player’s house you’re to decorate. But mostly, it was laughing, getting along, trying to help make enthusiastic the crowd and team to win so to enrich the Centennial spirit.

Even with all the hustle and bustle the preparation of Christmas brings, we still had a few of the extras that makes the season worthwhile. Our Miss Jingle Bells and Court were picked to work with Santa Claus at Country Fair Shopping Center, and good old Santa was welcomed in the annual parade at Country Fair by our Band and Lancers. Meanwhile, back at Centennial, choir members were heard caroling in the halls, lunchroom and everywhere practicing for the Christmas Choral Show. Besides the Christmas show, the Choir along with Santa, Frosty the Snowman, the Band and Lancers, ended the final day of school before our long vacation with a super assembly. Some classes took advantage of Christmas to mix learning with fun Home Ec classes made Christmas cookies while Spanish students learned about holiday customs of Mexico and Spain during a party featuring a pinata and Spanish Christmas desserts. The newspaper came out with their special holiday edition which included greetings to and from friends and during the weekend after school was dismissed. Christmas King and Queen were crowned by Afro-American Club at their Christmas dance While Senior Girl Council members gorged themselves at their annual Progressive Dinner, the wrestling team had to pass up Christmas goodies in order to watch their weight before their holiday tournament. Also competing in a holiday tournament was the Varsity Basketball Team. The Chargers, after defeating top-seeded Thomridge, lost the championship game by one point, bringing home a second-place trophy. But besides the extras, Christmas still means a time of giving, of peace, harmony and love and we found our white Christmas the perfect setting for a holiday season which was full of tranquility as well as fun and relaxation.

Well we were still juniors then, and our senior Big Sisters woke us up to inform us we were chosen as members of SGC After an informal initiation, we all had heard of Senior Girls Council but not really knew what we had gotten into We soon found out. It was trying to wash cars but gening more soap on yourself rather than the car, or running a round in football uniforms before a crazy Homecoming Assembly, or trying to tear a ticket in half and shove back half of the stub with a program while the person is almost in his seat, or eating ourselves to gluttony at a festive and fun, but fattening Progressive Dinner. But we couldn't forget the meetings. After we were picked by a teacher’s vote the spring before, the fall brought us to those eye opening 7:43 am meetings every other Wednesday But they weren’t too bad It was a chance to talk to the other girls and plan new and different things to do.

Alan Stark, giving a superb portrayal of Spectrum Man, was a hard act to follow Vclcome, everybody!” Spectrum 76 turned out to be the highpoint of our winter. Acts came from every comer of the school. Skits were popular; they ranged all the way from satires to magic acts. Rock bands, a guitar accompanied inspirational duet, a forties trio and a twenty-one member strong finale gave broad coverage to music. To some, rehearsals seemed long and cumbersome and others were in and out, in a matters of seconds. We just couldn’t get excited about performing to an empty auditorium though. But then, Thursday came — opening night! A spark of spirit ignited as the lights went down, the band began, and the curtain parted to the chilling entrance of Spectrum Man. By that rime, no one could sit still. The cast nervously awaited their act from the band room. But the moment each one stepped on the stage, all fears were relieved and he or she was a star, if only for a couple of minutes. The following nights continued in about the same manner.

For a mere 50C we could send our favorite friend or even enemy a carnation and a note. It could be anonymous or otherwise but that was taken care of by the Junior Leaders. Junior Leaders — the girls that got out of P.E.? Not by a long shot. Instead of the required P.E. classes, they spent 6th hour learning games, how to help teach them and then acting bananas. They were rowdy, learned a lot and had a ball doing it. What became of them? The next year they became Senior Leaders and put what they learned to good use. But getting back to Valentine’s Day, what else had Centennial to offer those poor souls inflicted by wounds from Cupid’s arrow? Does vice-versa dance ring a bell? This one dance alone can send many a poor girl into a rage. Who should she ask? Would he go? This fateful night is the one night designed so the girl does the asking and they get a taste of what guys can go through.

Shen Spnngston Jane O'dca, Julie Beck, Uz Gunnrn When anticipating the spring sports schedule, the athletes were anxious over the coaching changes. Joe Tomlinson, assistant coach, was named head coach of the baseball team just after former coach, Paul McGarvey, resigned. Assistant track coach George Valentine stepped down and was replaced by Mr. Ron Presswood. With just intuition to lead him, head track coach Greg Dykstra was looking forward to an unpredictable season before any practices got under way. On the other hand, the boys’ tennis team promised to be on top with vital returning lcttermen. It’s not at all unreasonable to imagine that Coach Shuman’s team could bring home a capital conference championship. As of the end of winter the girls’ softball team looked strong. With encouragement of young participants, the female coaching staff intended to continue the growing Charger spirit. The coaches agreed — it’s enjoyable and easy to teach fundamentals to an enthusiastic bunch. A mixture of age groups ought to make up the girls’ track team. Individual practices started early with hurdles set up and sprinters in the halls. 74 CHARGER SCHEDULE BOYS’ TRACK AND FIELD April 3 Harold Jester Invitational Home April 8 Normal Community-Peoria Central Away April 10 Decatur Open Away April 13 Decatur MacArthur Away April 15 Bloomington Home April 17 Urbana Open Away April 27 Stephen Decatur Away May 1 Champaign Invitational Away May 4 Charleston Away May 6 Rantoul Away May 11 Danville Away May 14 Conference (Centennial) Home Ma- 17 Frosh-Soph Invitational (Rantoul) Away May 21 District May and 29 28 State BELOW LEFT Okay.

Any person walking down chc hall singing or humming was quickly identified as a choir member. Inevitably we were 'rehearsing' to and from choir, in the lunch line, on the way to school, on fan buses, anywhere and EVERYWHERE! Anticipation was everpresent. First it was the Varsity Show, then the Christmas concert, and finally, beginning with the new year, TOUR — Dallas, Texas, five days away from school in the sunny south or St. Louis, a few precious days in which to visit other choirs and enjoy Six Flags. It just couldn’t come soon enough. Anxiety — filled winter days were faithfully crossed off our calendars as we continued the count down. Then suddenly, one morning in late February, we were handed the news; tour had been cancelled. Somehow a law in the school code had been overlooked allowing choirs in previous years to travel around the country each spring. This year it would be different — corrected. We wouldn’t go beyond bordering states without additional insurance or disassociation from the school. Our reactions were ones of rebellion. 'Why us? It’s unfair.’ They even got as drastic as ’Let’s hijack a bus.’ Black armbands were worn in protest for about a day. But soon we realized that it was then our responsibility to solve the problem. So we. as concerned teenagers in hopes of an exciting spring, set out to tackle the situation and face the possible disappointment. LEFT Kathy Hulett. Kim Knudsen.

Matt Sellers, Brad Bone, and Daan Forster ¥•¥¥ CENTENNIAL OPINION When we think back on this year, what will we remember? School, friends, the places we went, the things we did, what we listened to and the good and not so good times that went along with it. What made this year different from others? Well for one, take the crazes that hit our coun- try. SHARK! Think back on the movie, JAWS. It was voted the top movie of the year by our- selves and considering the fantastic number of people that saw the movie, it was no wonder the fear of sharks became an epidemic. Soon shark posters, books, knee socks and T-shirts were in every store from coast to coast. Besides scares came mysteries. What did the phrase, Helter Skelter really mean? Well obviously many found out as HELTER SKELTER was voted the best book of 75-76. The book was the true account of the gory Manson murders. Everyone told us — Don’t read it at night! ’ Don’t read it when you’re alone.’’ Every little noise sent a chill up and down our spine. But not every craze was fear-ridden. The fun-filled 50’s were relived every week on our No. 1 rated television show. Happy Days, and nostalgia spread like wildfire through the halls of CHS. Especially during 50’s day of homecoming week did the effects of the show really surface. Suddenly every guy seemed to be the 'Fonz and we were broken up to hear the rumors. Was the Fonz’ really dead? We were relieved to hear he wasn’t but as time went on other rumors erupted about other things, for instance, was that faint scream in the background of the song Love Rollercoaster” by the Ohio Players intentional or was someone really being murdered? — Breaker breaker, what’s your 20? — We’re here at Centennial High School and the top song of the year was voted as 'Convoy’, by C. W. McCall. This only reflected the interest in C.B. radios that grew throughout the country. But 'Convoy won with comparatively few votes considering there were 139 entrees. This only goes to show how our tastes in music could vary. And along with our star-studded cast of pole winners came the winner who fit the description most literally. Elton John won the poll and. it was no wonder — the showman gave us every- thing from Crockodile Rock to Rocket Man and Pinball Wizard to Philadelphia Freedom. We were disappointed to hear that rumors that his concen was coming to the Assembly Hall were unfounded. His shows have been known not to be only concerts but extravaganzas that would be a shame to miss. Among other things — food usually rated very well on our interest list. Steak and potatoes? Maybe you were the hamburger, fries and coke type or how about lasagna and french bread? Well we could’ve gone on forever but we decided on our number one favorite — pizza by a good size margin. Thick pan, thin, cheese, sau- sage, pepperoni, mushroom or everything piled on top gave us a pretty good choice. But when we ate, where did we go — aside from the cafeteria? If it was -lunchtime, we also had the choice of home, or a local establishment but if we all had the choice of anywhere, it would have been Boar’s Head, our poll winner. It’s cui- sine was, although a bit expensive for too fre- quent of visits, it has the atmosphere for making memories as well as being one of our top picks for Homecoming to Prom. During the latter part of the week where does our attention turn? School — probably not. Focus on the weekend and more specifically — Friday and Saturday nights Where will we go? Parties? Campus? These two ideas headed our list. Not every weekend always offered everyone of us a parry and when it didn’t, campus could be an all right place to go. You could usually find other kids you knew although some preferred parties, the people, places, sights and sounds of campus were pleasant diversions. Next year some things we like will stay and oth- ers will go but when we take the combination of what we’ve liked, listened to, seen and done this year, it makes an unusual time in life and a time not to be forgotten — what we were up to this year. 78 FIRST ANNUAL POLL POLL RESULTS BEST: Movie JAWS Book HELTER SKELTER TV Show HAPPY DAYS Song CONVOY Artist ELTON JOHN Food PIZZA Restaurant BOAR’S HEAD Place to go on a Friday or Saturday night CAMPUS 79 favorite pan of school lunches out — hot rolls.

Mom and Dad thought it was just one of our phases’ when we wanted mini bikes but for some of us motorcycles became our hobby as Centennial’s first moto-cross club was formed. Remember the old saying — The hands will always give you away?” So it was with mood rings. Those indicators were on everyone’s finger along with their mood. Green — everything was normal Blue — everything was great! Brown or Black — WATCH OUT! Things didn’t look very good. But the rings seemed to be mainly for girls. Look around! What, do we all work in the hardware stores? No but it seemed like it as painters pants and half-overalls took over. Not too expensive, they were comfortable and everyone was wearing them. But as far as guys went with clothes, had you ever noticed that almost every guy had on a sweater with a pictures of reindeer. It may seem strange but that’s exactly what dear ole Dad wore in his high school days. The styles change fast and Title Seven showed us how. Their fashion show featured kids from our own school. When we walked down the hall, we found that replacing the usual Hi!” was a honk. Honks became pretty versatile. Every question could be answered by a honk. Lunchtime was not only for filling our stomachs. It offered us a well-needed break in the day to mess around, talk to friends, relax or whatever! When it was all over, who was there to clean up and work behind the scenes? Our Custodians and cafeteria ladies. Cleaning up after us and feeding us, keeping everything in good condition was what they did — and well. BELOW LEFT ’In my own little comer.

Parlez- Vous Franqais? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? . . . Well, at Centennial we do. Taking a foreign language helped us if we were college bound but there were extra elements mixed in. Monsieur Hays starting the day off with French music. Frau Rimas reading Hansel and Gretel to the class or trying to discuss current events in broken Spanish were usual ways the class day was spent. But often unusual things happened. Take for example the time when Spanish 4 went to the Mexican section in Chicago, or will their stomachs ever forget all the spicy food at La Casita when the Spanish classes went? Exploring foreign customs first hand. German students had a Christmas party- complete with tree, that set off Christmas on a different foot. Learning French at Centennial was also learning France Knowing about the Louvre or the I Arc de Triomphe made French class more relevant and colorful. The best advantage of foreign language is that it added a little bit of another country to our daily life.

Social Studies! We weren’t just stuck with anything. This department covered so many subjects, it was hard to pick. World History, Minorities and Economics let us know about our world but not in any boring or dull manner. Imagine learning about the political conventions by going through a mock convention in Contemporary History. Or take Sociology and Psychology How could we ever forget something like visiting Lincoln State School or Mr. Valentine’s story of the Great Pumpkin? Even the required U.S. History gave us a choice of either mini-courses which covered all different subjects or one full class.

Or the time we had to sacrifice a clear complexion for a few days because we were studying facial paint, and we were subjected to having our faces painted. Then there was our design class. A drama club or choir member would without a doubt, come in with a masterpiece of a poster for us to run up for them. Well geez! We’re a design class not a printing class. Why not let us design it?! Yes. we certainly did make some sacrifices — paint on a new pair of jeans, or clay on a favorite shirt Art wasn’t just a 'sit-back-and- rclax’ class. It was work, lots of work, but fun. lots of fun. 89 DESIGN WITH PRECISION The Industrial Arts courses of Centennial satisfied a variety of student interests in vocational and academic programs. Preparing house plans for blueprints, printing posters, constructing a radio, fixing an engine, or developing photographs were just some of the projects. For many students, projects were the main concern and workmanship was taken into consideration. Meticulous lines, refining the rough comers, precision, and planning were a vital part in presenting a well made project. For architectural students, project house exemplified all of the above.

The smell of sweat and individual participation were all part of it. One cannot neglect Health, Safety and Drivers Education which are also divisions of the P.E. department.

Some students stated that working in an environment similar to what their career would be was very helpful.

R r many students, business courses had proved to be beneficial for job opportunities with CCE or outside school jobs. Many found it helpful in other classes where term papers were required.

From the moment we entered the bright halls of Centennial we knew that we were welcomed. The juniors and seniors played the traditional tricks on us for the first week or so but that all soon came to an end. We became close friends with many of the upperclassmen and realized that being promoted to a higher rank wasn't really half bad, after all.

But aside from activities with underclass, seniors found when they got together to work on various things, be it homecoming float or Spectrum skit or whatever, the end product was always worthwhile and the byproducts were good times and memories.

What comes after that? Getting a job? That may prove to be even a bigger headache than ever. Maybe college? Listening to all the stories of how hard it will be made high school sound like nursery school. It seems that after twelve years, this is only a start. It was almost impossible to think of graduation when a lot of our time was spent planning our future. Although many of our friends perhaps knew what they wanted to do after they graduated, many of us didn’t and applying to schools and taking tests were very time- consuming. And, knowing that the coming years will lead to separations of friends as well as meeting new ones, hard times as well as good ones was sometimes a discomforting thought, but realizing this made us appreciate and try to make the most of our last year.

Ann O'Bnen. Judy Armstrong FOURTH ROW Shorn White UNIT FOUR BOARD OF EDUCATION The Unit Four Board of Education is an elected group of citizens whose purpose as outlined by state code is to set policies, philosophy, and guidelines under which the district operates. These officials serve in this capacity without any financial compensation. Dr. John J. Hillcbrand, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, guides the instructional program of the district. He had many challenges facing him this year including re-vamping the curriculum for the 1977-78 school year when the Unit will go to the Middle School Concept — Grades 6, 7, and 8 and also changing from a 3 year high school to a 4 year plan. Dr. Alain G. Holt, Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Pupil Services, directs the employment of Unit 4 personnel Jerry Hoffman, Assistant Superintendent for Business, has the responsibility of directing the financial aspect of Unit 4. Many challenges faced Mr. Hoffman as the districts’s declining enrollment found Unit 4 receiving less state school aid coupled with problems of inflation. Dr. Marshall K. Berner, Superintendent of Schools, has the total responsibility of carrying out the policy decisions and philosophy of the Board of Education. ABOVE LEFT Dr Marshall K.

They are the ones that are fed information which is relayed to the faculty and students by either announcements or messengers. Through the years, our secretaries have proven to be efficient and very reliable. RIGHT Mrs Norma Sr rater, library assistam. Miss Mary Beth Munhall, mam office. CENTER Mrs Avis Summers, main office.

After the year is over what will we remember? Crazy initiations, games, dances, parties, after school things, meetings, or just goofy times. The regular things such as lunches, classes, or maybe helping classmates on assignments got us to know the kids around us better. Mostly we will remember our friends and the good, bad, serious, ridiculous and sometimes, embarrassing times that surrounded them. For each of us the memories that will stick in our minds will be different but they all will be special. UP . . .for what lies ahead After the final tone sounded many thoughts ran through our minds. Remembrance, anticipation, sorrow, joy, perhaps relief or maybe anxiety over the times to come. We remembered the good times of the year while the bad times seemed to slip our minds. We felt as if we had grown up some or simply changed. We now look forward to a summer lifestyle before returning to Centennial or going elsewhere. Either way, we deserve a rest. This year, above others, we were really charged up! w
