When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, they found nothing to greet them but an uncivilized country filled with wild animals, unfriendly Indians, and forested lands. However, with one common desire for freedom, they courageously faced the future. Today we see the results of the labors of our forefathers. Because of the endurance, patience, and hard work of those patriots, America is today recognized as a universal leader in the educational, political, economic, and social fields. just as the United States rose from oblivion, so did Central Catholic High School. Beginning with a handful of earnest young students and supported by a competent and industrious faculty, Central has become a leading educational institution aiming to train youth physically, mentally, and morally. Since the administration board realized the need for intelligent, broadfminded citizens, the curriculum has been extended to include the essential courses necessary for a goodgstrong foundation and in preparation for further scholastic advancement. Sportsmanship is symbolic of the American way. Accordingly, the Physical Education Department provides basketball, football, track, and other activities which aid in the development of the body and the mind. Those individuals possessing musical talent are given an excellent opportunity to display it in the band which has great expectations of fame. Other extrafcurricular activities such as clubs, dramatics, and music help to broaden the students' horizon and offer an exceptionally fine cultural background. Words cannot express what Central Catholic means to every graduate, it is a deep, everlasting devotion felt only when one walks through its portals for the last time as a student. In fond remembrance the Class of ,44 proudly presents this, the fourth edition of Centralma-the story of a great school.

We love them more than anyone else here on earth and shall endeavor always to repay them at least in part for all the care and love they have lavished upon us. Through their untiring guidance and leadership our minds have been elevated, our characters molded, and our ideals fashioned. They have equipped us to meet the difficulties of life and have prepared our soul and body for future success. They have cooperated with the priests and sisters in promoting our material and spiritual knowledge so that we may carry on after them, always mindful of our Creator and God. As we, the leaders and builders of the future, go forth into the world, it is with pride and sincere gratitude that we express our appreciation to our beloved parents by dedicating to them the 1944 edition of Centralma. CENTRALMA 1944 Eight Courses Prepare Students for Careers . Foremost in preparing our country for the future, is the training of its youth to assume the responsibilities confronting presentfday leaders. More than the development of the mind is necessary to produce capable citizens, the character, too, must be trained to such a degree that honor, loyalty, and trustworthiness will be the code of all existing forms of government. Recognizing this need for adequate and improved educational institutions, Central Catholic High School strives to provide a curriculum worthy of mention in which its students, guided by an intelligent and earnest faculty, obtain the fundamentals of a good, sound, Christian education. Classes have been revised to prepare the graduates of Central Catholic for active participation in local affairs. The Scientific Course comprises aeronautics and those sciences needed to produce airmeng the Academic Course embraces mathematics and sciences required for college entrance, the Commercial Course assures intelligent, efficient office workers, and the General Course teaches the principles of business. With these courses efliciently adminis' tered, America can rest assured that Central Catholic is contributing her share toward Victory. CENTRALMA 1944 Nine THE REVEREND WILLIAM HAMMEKE, Pastor They Foster A landmark in the education of youth and an endearing but determined character to whom every Centralite owes a debt of gratitude is this champion of learning. Had it not been for his timely ingenuity, Central Catholic High School would not exist today. The students regret that ill health has necessitated Father Hammeke's resignation during the past year. CENTRALMA 1944 Education o Youth... As administrator of St. Paul's Parish, Father Wachter is continuing Father Hammeke's keen interest in Central Catholic. Having been a frequent visitor at the school, he is no stranger to the student bodyg in fact, he has endeared himself to everyone. Under his administration the annex and the science building have been connected by an enclosed passageway.

On our arrival we felt like ladies and knights in a huge castle. In only a few weeks we thought we owned the place . . . why, we could even find our way to the Latin Class without winding up in the English Class. The growth of Central from this time was amazing. QThey called us Bornemann High in those days . . . remember?J Well, we were promoted . . . everyone of us . . . and were we proud! By this time our number had increased considerably and the annex had just been dedicated. Now we had a gymnasium just like other great schools. We all agreed that our team wasn't much to speak of then, and we were drubbed by almost every team we played, but that did not alter our sportsmanship one bit . . . that is one of the things for which we were noted. It was during this year that the Sophomore B Dramatic Club presented The Christmas Gimme. This was one of our Hrst plays. Central became the host for a number of great .

Clittle did we realize then that this business was developingj A Now we had completed half of our high school training and we began to feel like scholars. It was the Class of Q44 who first inaugurated the junior Prom, another event that will be of lasting importance to the students of Central. Our number grew still higher. The band was just beginning to sound like a real band by this time, and when we look at it now, marching by in lively colors, we are stunned at the rapid progress made. Bill Brenner had parties galore at the Bavarian Lodge, and how we enjoyed those good times together!

One of our seniors set a time for the mile that will long be a record at Central. What a Life the first senior play ever to be presented was a Hnancial as well as a dramatic success. The year was climaxed by the Dinner Dance held at the Berkshire Country Club . . . it was a perfect night. At the annual Communion breakfast, each senior received a beautiful sterling silver souvenir key bearing the emblem of the school. These were the gift of the Mothers, Club.

The band, headed by james O'Reilly with his baton, escorts the graduating class of St. joseph's Hospital to St. Paul's Church. One of the most determined steps made by Central during the last two years was the organization of its band. Adding merriment to every scholastic event, they set the gymnasium ablaze with color in their chic maroon and gold uniforms. The resignation, in answer to Uncle Sam's call, of two former bandmasters, Mr. Alfred Moffatt and Mr. Lester Yeager, did not alter the efforts and enthusiasm of the players. Now, in co' operation with Mr. Samuel Correnti, Central's band proudly takes its stand in offering its services to brighten public affairs with its music.
