Correct answer: We who are Seniors began our high school careers. A way back in 1941 there were twenty one of us in the Freshman class. Through the years, eleven more have moved here and fourteen have either moved away or quit. So now, as Seniors, there are eighteen of us. When we were Freshman, superintendent C. L. Gottmann was our sponsor. Nancy Yager was chosen class president. The other officers were: vice president, Doris Chenoweth; secretary, Marjorie White; treasurer, Mary Lee Anderson; reporter, Tom O’Hern. Our Sophomore sponsors were three in number: Mis3 Morrison, Rev. F. W. Rigg, and Mrs. Rigg. The class elected Charles Morman, president; Marjorie White, vice president; Tom O'Hern, sec-treasurer; Alberta Ardrey, reporter. Mrs. F. W. Rigg served as class sponsor when we were Juniors. Bill Carter was chosen class president Dottie Huse, vice president; Eva Mae Yager, Sec- treasurer; and Maxine Sommerfeld, reporter. As juniors, our class sponsored a junior Play, operated the stands at the basketball games, and entertained the seniors at a lovely Junior-Senior banquet. In our last year of high school, we sponsored a Senior Work day from which we earned 63 85. Too, we planned a trip to St. Louis for the glorious Senior skip day. Our officers for this year were as follows: president, Charles Morman; vice president Dottie Huse; secretary-treasurer, Maxine Sommerfeld; reporter. Gene Simmons. Mrs. Fanning served as class sponsor. In March, 1945, Bradford Hulse and Bill Walker enlisted in Uncle Sana's great Navy. We Seniors are proud of our service men. Good luck to you boys, and to the rest who will soon go. During our four years in C.H.S. the members of our class have sought prominence in various fields of interest, such as scholarship, music, basketball, end track. Certain members of the class have achieved proficiency in these fields. And as we have done in our high school days so we shall continue to do when we step from the stage of high school in to the throngs of the world.

I, Bill Fredrick Carter, being of sound mind but seldom used, do hereby will and bequeath to Carl Krigbaum my intense love for study halls. My interest in Elaine Ledford I leaye to any Sophomore boy who promises to not use too much. Wanda Watts leaves her correspondence list to Francis Baker. Don t neglect any branch of the service.

SENIOR CUSS PROPHECY Come Seniors, gather around the bonfire. The magical potion has already been poured into the flames and ominous black smoke is now billow- ing upward. Ah, there through a break in the smoke cloud we see written the year 1955. And now we may read the fate of our seniors. Richard Baker, a faint tinge of gray in his black hair, lives a tiresome life on his farm. Although he is married, he has never quite for- gotten his disappointment in being turned down by that pretty Irish lassie, H. Me. Dottie Huse has finally decided that she would rather work in the quiet of a cozy effice with someone who cares, than to pursue a dramatic career amid thousands of strangers. So we see her now, busy with pencil and notebook in the office of the manager of an up-and-coming cheese factory. Reva Delle McClintock, who joined the Cadet Nurse Corps after graduation from C. H. S., now holds the responsible position of head nurse in a veteran's hospital. She is very strict with the other nurses, and it has been rumored that this is because she saves all her pleasant smiles for a certain famous surgeon. Billy Shannon, after a hectic life in the Marines has returned to his native land. He is naturally quite proud of Doris Marie's successful musical career but all the time he keeps dreaming of the day when they can settle down together. And confidentially he also has visions of a little roly poly Billy Gene Jr. Mary Lee Anderson, the little black buzzard that flies around here and there has finally gone home to roost. She and Johnny have a nice little home of their own, with some other little buzzard's that call them papa and mama. . . , • ■ ;• '? ' - L ’ ; r' - Willis Walker is a motor machinist in the navy. He is still trying to win Wanda but has better luck readjusting motors than reclaiming Wanda's affections. It seems that a certain Pvt, is giving him some stiff competition as the army got there first, Mrs. Farmer's Wife of 1955 is none other than the former Miss Eva Mae Yager of Center, She hums a merry tune as she helps Hubby feed the cows, pigs, and chickens. Yes, she is happily married and her nursing career is ended, except for the practice she gets with little Junior and the baby, Ida Mae, Bill Carter is well contented on his small farm where Elaine has made quite a happy home for him. Nearly every afternoon his work is interrupted by little Frederick who goes to the field to ride on the tractor, but of course Bill doesn't mind, for he's quite a proud papa, Bradford Hulse, the wolf in ship's clothing,' has never settled down, but is the typical sailor, with a girl in every port. He has traveled in many foreign countries, but he still has fond memories of Center. (There is still hope, Jean.) Charles Monnan, the same Charlie we knew back in the good old high school days, now holds the rank of Chief Petting Officer in the navy. Quite a sheik they say, but what happened to the switchboard girls. Couldn't you make up your mind Charlie? Hubert Schnetzer, our professional woman hater, can be found tilling the soil on his farm by Salt River. Although he says women spend too much money, he would like to find a good cook, as he suffers too much with indigestion from his inferior cooking. How about taking cooking lessons, Hubert? Maxine Sommerfeld has reached the heights of her ambition. She is one of the leading dress designers of Paris and her nifty numbers are famous the world over. About her love life—well, she's rather silent on that last point, but it rumored that she's been seeing quite a lot of a French noble- man. Francis Krigbaum, a regular little dairyman is at Wisconsin with Plenty of Jersy cows. He and Pat have a nice little farm, a few farming acres,and a small cottage. They really enjoy married life with their two children Annie and Everett. t ■ • . '• i'- , 'c o'-..-..- . ■ ■ bxic: ■■ ■ i JLtte ■? ' i , . ' f: . ‘t . . . •' • - • ii ■ r . . Wanda Watts, the primary school teacher of all times, has quite a way with little children—and the men. She's still stringing Willis and Squeaky along, but you d better be deciding, Wanda. You don't want to he an old maid and you can't be a bigamist. Nancy Yager, after a few years of teaching in a rural school has now settled down to teaching her own kiddies.'' Her Whirlwind courtship with Richard Baker ended in a happy marriage, much to the little cottage and is kept quite busy running after Tommy Jr. and Ida Lee to keep them out of mischief Doris Chenoweth, one of world's greatest opera singers goes around all over the world, with one she is trying to make famous also by working with him day and night. She has so much work to do it is hard to tell when she will settle down, or is it Shannon? It has been reported that they will roll down to Rio on their honeymoon. Helen McIntosh, who is a medical technician is still on the job, but not for long now because she has other interests to tend to. We haven't found out just what his name is though. You better hurry up and reveal the mystery, Helen. Maybe later on Cheryll Lynn, and Phyllis Jean will join them. And What a Happy four some 1 Gene Simmons, has become a pilot after several years of training. But in a few more weeks he will just fly on special occasions as he is now in his spare moments working on a invention for a better and more modern dishwasher, which he hopes to soon put in use. How about that Gene? As the last gray stream of smoke vanishes into th6 air and the bonfire slowly goes out, the magic spell is broken. Time alone will tell if these predictions will come true. . - ■ t : ■ ; ' . . ;c. i p ■ ‘ JUNIORS J ck C u k CLsi 'Pres t dent 8 .tkrfb ll Tt n Loren Fulkerson Vr«e-1Ve side nt MonorRoll S eet  rvi Skj BiJI Cornelius Refine off fov Ten rS l in reTU J u Holcomb Sleepy c - Don«ld Lee Campbell Bes teU.

Later in the year, Francis Baker joined our class making the number thirteen. Our elected officers were Marvin Yager as president; Charlotte Rigg, vice president; Donna Sommerfeld, secretary; Bobby Pabst, treasurer and Junior Lieurance, reportor. Supt. C. L. Gottmann was our class sponsor. As sophomores we came back with, only 12 members from which Mildred Hawkinson dropped and was replaced by Carl Krigbaum from New London. Toward the end of the year Lorene Fulkerson joined us from New Bloomfield. We were glad to have her, especially since our supply of girls was running low, This year we elected Junior Lieurance as president; Charlotte Rigg, vice president; Donna Sommerfeld, sec-treasurer and chose Rev. F. W. Rigg as our sponsor. At the beginning of our junior year we had an enrollement of eleven members but Charlotte Rigg left us to go to Clarence, Bobby Hayes went to Perry, and Bobby Pabst dropped out. We chose Mrs. Menze as our sponsor but replaced her by Mrs. Norris when Mr. Menze returned from over seas. We had three parties, the first being a picnic at Salt River; the second a Junior-Senior party at Hannibal; and lastly the party Mr3. Menze gave us. All the juniors active in basketball received letters. They were Frances Baker, Jack Couch, Junior Lieurance, and Don Campbell, Bill Cornelius, Don Campbell and Donna Sommerfeld represented the Junior class in the music festival this year. The tenth of May was the night of the Junior- Senior banquet. The theme was Pan-American, and every guest received an autograph book engraved with C.H.S., and a Mexican Woven Basket. ii ii it i| Miss Harris: This makes the fifth time I've had to punish you this week.

H. S. thus embarking upon the perilous sea of learning. In a few days we had a class meeting and elected pur officers. Loua Mae Rigg was elected president, John Howald vice president, and Frances Hudson became sec-treasurer. When Frances moved away, we elected Gearl A. Howald to take her place. Our sponsor was Mr. C. L. Gottmann, the superintendent. We had two parties, both taking place at the school house. In October we had a Holloween party and everyone came masked. Our other party took place in April. School Closed in May and we lost the name of Freshmen forever. In the fall we resumed our studies more or less enthusiastically under a new superintendent, Mr. F. A, Humphrey. For our Sophomore year we elected Betty Berry as president, Jack Palmer vice president, Horace Berry as sec-treasurer and John Brown as class reporter. We also chose Miss Rose Harris as our sponsor. In the spring we chose Elaine Ledford and Jack Palmer as our queen and king. This year, up to the present time, we have had three parties. Our first party was a hay ride at the home of Jean Watts. Another was a skating and theater party at Hannibal. The last one was held at the school house. The Sophomore class has been very active in the affairs of the high school, Gearl A. Howald held an important part in the operetta When the Moon Rises. She and Elaine Ledford are also on the girls basketball squad. Several Sophomore boys including Bobby Evans, Bobby McClintock, Jack Palmer, and Jimmie Humphrey plays basketball on the boys squad. The sophomore girls sang in the girls glee club at Rensselaer and helped win a rjating of one. Doris Rhodes sang in the girls quartette which won a rating of one. „ As our school year draws to a ripid end the Sophomore class sends its wishes with others that Center High will remain as good a school as it is now. i i t i Bill (Corny): Love me honey? Jerry: Sure Do. Bill: Cold honey? Jerry: Bout to freeze. Bill: Want ny coat? Jerry: Oh, Just the sleeves. iiii :l . '♦ 'r i.'. , lo jsq:.

Soon after school started we organized as a class and elected our leaders. Don Smith was elected president and was replaced by vice president Everett Pabst when Don changed schools. It was then that Patsy Hickerson was elected vice president. Peggy Carter was chosen secretary and treasure with Ruth Briggs as reporter. Mr. Humphry sponsor's the Fresh- men along their path. On October 11, we gave our first party. We went to Indian Mound Skating Rink at Hannibal and to the show afterwards. Soon after Christmas the Sophomores invited the Freshmen to Hannibal. We all went on a school bus. Again we went to the 3kating rink and show. The next morning there were several sleepy pupils in the school. On February 28, the Freshmen went to the Student Canteen for another party. The girl3 brought sand- wiches and cookies. The boys brought potato chips and soda pop We are proud that Shirley Kohler and Frances Herring received on bar basketball letters their first year. Several of the Freshmen girls are members of the basketball squad. Shirley Kohler and Darrell Jackson are Student Canteen Representatives for the freshmen class. The Freshmen as a whole elected Darrell Jackson as King of the class and Peggy Carter as Queen. Everyone feels that they have accomplished much during the Freshmen year and hope to do better next year. THE FRESHMEN CLASS Wittiest... The best speaker... The teachers pet.'.. The jolliest...

The method used in determining the honor roll is as follows: Each letter grade is given a nunberical value (E,lj E-,2; etc.). The total score was divided by the number of subjects in which the student was enrolled. Therefore, a person making all E s would receive a 1. Doris Chenoweth 1.2 Nancy Yager 1.25 Gearl A Howald 1.25 Rita Carter 1.75 Elaine Ledford 2. Ruth Briggs 2. Helen McIntosh 2. James Humphrey 2.

Our record for last year was 19 wins out of 23 games, this hear including all the tournaments we won 17 games out of the total of 33. The girls attended five tournaments but won trophies at only two, these being third in our home tournament and consolation at Belflower. Our girls squad has ten regulars on it now: Mary Lee Anderson- Our fastest forward and best shot on the team, Mary Lee’s steadness under fire has certainly helped the teams scoring ability when we were down. She is a Senior and was awarded the basket- ball letter with four stripes to show that she has been on the main team for four years successively. Her total points for the season are 536. Elaine Ledford- A good all around girl, the tallest one on the team so she playes a crack game on either end of the court, but likes to play forward best. Elaine is a Sophomore and her total points for the year are 56. She and that Carter boy are really some com- bination. ........ Evamae Yager- The captain of our team and one swell guard. Evamae has a startling yell that accounts for the amazed look on so many a forwards face, this yell was the cause of the many baskets missed. Also another outstanding factor in her basketball career is the two points she made during the Center tournament you were pretty tickled were'nt you Evamae? She was awarded the basketball letter with two stripes this year, Reva Dell McClintock- Another Senior and a guard.

It takes place on the grounds of Cedarglades, a fashionable resort hotel in New Hampshire. A new guest has arrived—Jon Tarko, well-known tenor and composer. He is a gypsy by birth, but has repudiated his tribe for the sake of a career. He meets Roger Lynne, an old friend, who is staying at Cedarglades with Aloysius Brooks, a wealthy business man, and his daughter Helen, to whom Roger is engaged. Jon sings Carla, one of his own compositions, the words of which were written by Roger. The song is heard by Carla, one of his own compositions, the words of which were written by Roger, The song is heard by Carla, the gypsy girl for whom it was named. Thinking Jon is returning to the tribe, she comes to warn him of •King Paulo's anger, but can find only Helen. The two girls make a pact hereby each is to aid the other in a search for happiness. That evening the gypsies come, hunting for Carla, but Helen refuses to release her from her promise to remain. The gypsies leave angrily, after Jon persuades Paulo not to cause trouble till after the moon rises. (Jon is the only one who happens to know that the moon won’t rise till morning!) Tommy Rott, the assistant-assistant manager, is in quite a predicament. He can't report the trouble without losing his position and Arline, the girl he loves. To make matters worse, the love affairs of the three young couples are so tangled that the girls are weeping on the wrong masculine shoulder as the curtain falls on Act I. The Operetta was held this year on March 28 under the direction of Mrs. Fanning. The total proceeds, $93.75, were used to improve the High school library. • • : • i-.i. . .a , 'O.: t d r- oJ , r 9f- ■ li. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET.

The lower hall is doing double duty thi3 year. Francis Krigbaum and Horace Berry are keeping it busy. Does Betty Benn or Patty Brothers know anything about it? Tiny and Darrell have been makin' eyes at each other but that’s all so far. Marilyn and John Brown have quite a case on the school bus if you don’t believe ask Dewey Nichols. Who keeps the school bus waiting for about 5 minutes every night? Don’t worry Cheni we won’t tell anybody the reason. Frances Baker sits home and reads her magazines, her honey is in the army. Don’t tell anybody but I know why Bobby Evans came to school limping. Old Nick Carter kicked him out of the house when he came courting Peg. What certain young man has been giving Shirley love pats? You'll have to get her to tell you about Rex. You just can’t tell about Jimmy he likes all the little girls. You know I heard Eva Mae was trying to find herself a pair of stilts. Wonder why? Watts isn't that tall. I guess Nancy is going to be an old maid you never see her rolling her eyes at any of the little boys. Old cupid sure is getting around this year isn't he. He even pinched Vernon and Anna. Mrs. Humphrey caught Frank quite a while ago so we don’t have to worry about him. You just can't tell about the love bug can you. Kate, you had Bill on your apron strings then you took your apron off. Gearl-A picked up the apron. Bill you'd better watch out. You just can't tell about boys like Paul, Jim, Melvin, and Harold D, Love bugs just takin' his time with them. Francis H., Ruth, Imogens, Patsy, and several more I could name, seem to be just settin’ around waiting for their dream man. Need I say more boys. Just loo kin at Bill and Elaine you can tell the love bug bit them, or was it Bill that bit Elaine. You sure can tell Charlie is a Moraan the way he has two or three girls at the same time. Doesn't he Doris, Max and Donna? Wanda looks kinda lonesome now that Willis is in the Navy. Love isn't very certain for Richard. Every other day he gets another girl. His latest look is Jean Watts. That love bug even got to New London and bit Arthur didn't it Rita? Until next time this is all your reporters know. • r e u Y W A R e 0 N D S N 0 W •vt'i— YOUR SERVICE INSTITUTION LOANS - DEPOSITS - SAVINGS MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CO. PERRY MO.
