Sophomores When we were fnashmen last year, we, the class of 45. felt a bit stranzie and unim- nortant. Now the last traces of that feeling have vanished. VVte- are timth graders, full- f'edged members of Central City High School. raring 'to :fet into the full swing of hifh school activities. First on the long list of things to do was to .tfet acquainted with mew teachers. Along with this came the routine task of class regi- istration. These were soon taken care of and in the weeks that followed, classes pro- ceeded according to schedule. About three weeks after school started, L we held the first class meeting during: which Edwin Potter gave his office Uto Georgie Ferris.

Lose Traces of Insignificance When the Bison put the pigskin away for a year, the fellows inflated the basket- ball. don'ned their green and white suits, and befall practicing the fine art of playing basketball.

Thatis how the score reads now. Emanating from this junior-class is a record of achievement, an indelible print marked by three years of contribution to school activities, athlet- ics, and social lifew Athletics seemed to claim most of this credit. Through the three years of high school, members have been intensely in- terested in sports. IVIany have actively par- ticipated t0 the extent that they are now considered as beimif almost indispehsable t0 the various activities. Jerry ngis, Bill Fr 9', Jim NhConnell, and Robert 'Ayres sparked the football team while Bill Kerr, Bill Free, and Jerry Davis made the first five on the basketball squad. Several of the juniors were prom- inent in track, Jim NIeConnell being the most outstanding. Juniors also boast several musicians in the cases of Bill Free, NIary Hord, and Barbara XVolf. who sang solos at music contest. Douglas Peterson, Jerald Reece, and'Yvonne Nitzel t played instrumental solos. Jo A1111 Culbertson, Dale Carter, Francps Grace, Mary Kuhn. Boast Record of Achievement As no one likes to be completely ostra- sized from society, the junior history class produced and presented Fun Fans for Defense? :1 minstrel show with music by those swanky iiSwingsters. Price of admission was a 250 defense stamp. Then on April 21 came the junior play, iiNiEw Fires? a three-act play by Charles Quinby Burnette, directed by NIiSS'iPearl Eberly.

Freshmen Scarred, awkward freshmen were first seen rushing after registratiOn cards, pouring over schedules and hunting seats in the assembly. Upperclassmen laughed and said, uLook at them, but they took off their high hats long, enough to tell the freshies the worst was yet to Come. It did come, too, 0n the memorable day of October 26, when 81 very green freshmen were passed under the iron rule of the seniors at the annual initiation. Six boys and girls carried water in their mouths from the first floor foun- tains to the second floor assembly and spit it in buckets. XVinners, the boys, were rewarded with stout doses of epsom salts. A Romeo and Julietxselene, traditional at initiations, was real- istically portrayed, to the embarrassment of those concerned. Climaxing all, freshman toss- ed their shoes on the stage and had to find their. own amid the melee. Smyers, Rodman Nine, James Hartford.

Eugenie Sampson was secretary, and Ra- mona ANIcHargue, treasurer. Miss Libbie F. Kukral was sponsor. Though some of the studies were not to the liking of the freshmen, they decided the only way to become upperclassmen Was to buckle down to work. Then followed a term of cease- less endeavor to show their superiors what a capable group they were. True to predictions, a freshman made the 'HOnor Roll every six weeks. Outstanding contributors to this honor were Joan Crites and Elizabeth NIesner. Great amounts of mathematics, English, Latin, agri- culture, science, and homer economies entered all minds. iiLooktat them! upperclassmen will say in the future as scores of world-famous men ands women, the onoe-scorned freshmen, look down at them with condescending smiles.
