The Saber Wrestling team ended their season witha 9-3 dual meet record, losses of which two were only by three points combined. This fine record was possible through the work of Varsity Coach Bob Hein and J.V, Coach Harold Knutsen. Un- der their leadership, Central sent a rec- ord of ten wrestlers to the district tour- nament in Cedar Rapids. Two Sabers made the honors of traveling to the state tour- ney in Waterloo. Mike Richart, at 138 lb., was unde- feated all season, but was beaten first round by a boy that succeeded in capturing the second spot. Senior Don McCune did a very impressive job at 103 by winning his first two rounds. His championship round was a real cliffhanger, though. He lost on a referee's decision after a scoreless overtime. Don was champion previously at 95 and was runner-up this year at 103. The Sabers won the lllowa Tournament and the Sectional Tournament, suffering losses only in dual meets against North Scott and Riverdale.

Valedictorian - Janis Butler Salutatorian - Alan Luse , A i of K 2 ,, K , f - I i Memories of Past Joys Are Never Forgotten Our senior treasury is complete now, full and over-flowing with many memories. The re- membrances are like jewels, some bright and shining as diamonds, others dark as if they were wrapped in black velvet. They lie here well guarded in our treasure vault. The seniors, leaving behind their high school days will nevertheless never forget the souvenirs of these years. No matter what course their lives will take, or what success they meet in the World, they will always have the wealth of these bright jewels of memory. College, careers, or mar- riage waits for them. Poverty, wealth, hard work, misfortune, fame, and happiness may be theirs someday, and some of these new things will be bright new nuggets to add to their treas- ury. But these memories of their high school days will probably always hold a favored corner of their treasure cache. We wish these seniors, and all others who come after them, good fortune. 149 Centralis Helpers Central's cooks Qrightj are as- signed the task of preparing the daily meal for the students of Central.
