Sports Editor Business Manager Editor's Note: 1 wish to express my sincerest appreciation to everyone that helped us make the “Mirror” a success. I want to thank all the members of the annual staff, our never-tiring sponsor, who is always ready to lend us a helpful hand, and also to Mr. Hansford, who proof- read all our printed material. We have added several extra pages and a few new ideas. We hope that our “Mirror” will hold many happy memories of dear old C. H. S. Sponsor's Note: The Senior Class of 1949-50 started the first annual meeting with an ambition to publish an annual that their school would be proud to own. They wanted an annual that would bring back for the students memories of dear, old Center High. During the year this ambition did not die down, but grew, as they industriously worked on this project during their spare time. In the Annual Office, which was established by the staff, you could see a member of the staff pounding away at a typewriter, mounting pictures, or in conference on the management of the annual. The staff did their very best. This type of work was the first of the kind that they had ever done. We sold the annual for a dollar, which made it possible for every student to own one. Selling the annual at this low price also meant we had only a few dollars for expenses; this called for a great deal of management, because of lack of money. We want you to enjoy the MIRROR, keeping in mind the above facts. 2

Student Council Ada Wilson, Mr. Wilson, Donald Huse, Miss Baker, Kenneth Evans, Shirley Sals man, Mr. Hansford, Mr. How«, Doris Cawden. Billy Fanning, Betty Ransdell-Secretary, and Charlie Sells-President wasn't present. STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL Under the supervision of Superintendent J. R. Wilson, a Student-Faculty Council was or- ganized for the purpose of greater co-operation and understanding between the students and the faculty. Two members were chosen by each class for the representatives in the council. It was decided by the council to allow each class four parties a year. Only two school activities are allowed each week, and no parties were scheduled the night before a basketball game. Juniors and Seniors are allowed to invite guests out of school with the approval of the Council. A point system was set up to determine which class would have priority over the other. The Student-Faculty sponsored a basketball tournament between classes at noon hour, which proved to be fun. It was decided that medal stripes would be bought and pinned on a letter for the first three years for music, athletics, and dramatic achievements. All eligible Seniors are to receive a new letter with everything woven in it. Each class agreed to give 2% of their total income for the purpose of buying letters. A new school song was adopted and is printed in the annual. The council decided anyone with three unexcused absent excuses would be failed for the six weeks. It was voted to continue showing educational films. One student and a teacher were appointed to attend the films and see if they were suitable for high school students. The Student-Faculty has been considered a success by both the students and the faculty, the success being determined by the many activities it has sponsored to make our school a more pleasant place to work. We hope it will be continued in the future. 4
