SENIOR CLASS Cecil Monroe Margaret Archer THOSE WHO LEAD By Glenn Kelley At THE SECOND SEMESTER ELECTIONS the above officers were chosen to head the senior class through the final semester. Glenn Kelley, prominent senior boy, was chosen president, Frank Zcrr, one of Central's outstanding athletes in all three sports, was elected vice-1 president. Ingeborg Stovern, popular leader among the girls, became secretary. Margaret Archer, a girl outstanding in many school and class activities, was appointed by the seniors to be treasurer. In a unanimous ballot, Dean Driscoll, versatile basketball center, was placedi on the student council as member-at-large for the senior class. It is the business of these class officers to see that close harmony is kept within the class itself. There can be no discords or the graduation ceremony will be ruined. These officers acting as heads of their) various committees must see that their “Swan Song” is complete and in perfect intonation. Cecil Monroe as class adviser was the efficient and ever helpful baton wielder.

Hetty Crampton: Life in Central has been a wonderful and unforgetable experience to me. Starting as if on an unplanned journey on the tumultuous sea of life; going through the uncertainty of courses and unchartcred difficulties; and finally smoothing out into a voyage of joy and achievement, I feel as though Central High has aided me in achieving a certain assurance that will guide me in future voyages. I wish to express appreciation toward teachers and friends, my captain and crew, who have so kindly and willingly given me their cooperation. ENTATIVE GIRLS Margaret Archer: ”1 wonder if there will ever he Again in life a time so free. So full of opportunity, So rich in friendships dear to me, With students and the faculty, As high school years have been to nie. All our good times, these short years three ill soon he just a memory.” Anne Marie Johansen: “There was a time when a high school diploma signified that the formal education of a hoy or girl was complete. In this day and age with numerous opportunities for adult education, it is no uncommon thing for mothers and fathers to be graduated from college with sons and daughters. We are beginning to realize more and more that education is an unceasing process, and that the quest for knowledge and truth may he carried on long after high school and college days.”

OUR SWAN SONG By Marjorie Daniels llELLO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. We arc located in the new Central high school auditorium on an early June morning just before that memorable occasion, the graduation ceremony. Before the final, supreme concert begins, let us look at the students who have been rehearsing for three long years. In looking over the first row we can observe Pete Becker. Pete was small,, hut tough. Opponents in football and baseball will always remember him as such. Further on we sec Bob Omland. another senior who has distinguished himself athletically. There is our good friend Bob McKray, who has been a mainstay of all three of Central's varsity teams, football, basketball, and track. Along with Bob, Tommy Donlan and Spence Zerr made All-State in football. At this last concert we notice other versatile athletes such as Don Porter, Elmo Jcrde, and Bobbin Stevens. With them are also basketball stars: Dean Driscoll and Buss Smith. Winton Solberg. Behind the athletes, I happen to see several of Central’s outstanding musicians. Heading the list are Betty Gcrritsen, versatile clarinetist, Bichard Jensen, almost her equal, and Eugene Brussell. the orchestra concert master. Other outstanding senior instrumental musicians are Clyde Morehouse, Bobert Jensen, Ar-vella Anderson. Howard Sime, Arthur Rogers, Dick Haddow, Bobert Birkland, Maurine Dell, Elaine Wolters, and Bill Hagerty. Over to the right of us stand a group of individuals who look as if they might be forensic leaders. There is Betty Jeanne Butler, Donna Daulton, Dick DeVey, Annrita Dresselhuys, and Bob Smith, but we had better scram before they “blow” us off the page. The final ceremony is nearly ready to begin. By all of the accomplished participants, I feel certain that it will be successful. It is true, the Senior class of 1939 has been truly a representative one.
