Knowledge. . . . A sparh of hope, a flame of desire, The warmth of love, an eternal fire. Richard I.. Strader As the year 1965-1966 came to a close, fond memories were imprinted on the minds of CHS students-memories of happiness and sadness, victory and defeat, laughter and tears. ' ' The flame of wisdom was kindled in the classrooms at Centerville and students grasped many new ideas in the experimental system of team teaching. A spark of' eagerness was displayed by students as they attended sock hops, club meetings, speech tournaments, and school plays. Whether CHS teams were victorious or defeated, spirit among students was always high. The blaze of glory was carried in the hearts of athletes and sports fans throughout the year. ' Offering countless opportunities for acquiring new friends, high school provided the glow of friendship which will re- main in the hearts' of students long after their days at Cen- terville are gone. Continually shining, the light of progress beamed brightly on the growing community of Centerville. New facilities such as the town hall helped continue the progress of the area. . Reflecting memories ofthe past and promises of the future, the torch of knowledge will continue its flame.

The Flame of Wisdom Striving to keep pace with the ever-changing world, instructors planned and prepared lessons de- signed-to equip students with the knowledge neces- sary for their future years. The flame of wisdom signified the enthusiasm students experienced in their quest to learn, to comprehend, and to acquire the foundation for our progressive generation. As the students' ideas expanded, their faces re- flected the thoughts, doubts, and inquiries they had. The teachers aided in development of mature adults, capable of expressing themselves intelligently. Learning was not confined to the classroom alone. With the help of the biology green house, chemistry, home economics, industrial and graphic arts labora- tories, students were able to learn through the use of visual and manual aids. Team teaching was introduced for the first time at CHS in American history and American govern- ment classes. Included in the new method of teaching were small group seminars, large lecture groups, and independent study periods.
