«Wou INTRODUCING Slowly on that 30th day of August the old tired building awakened to the anxious chatter and laughter of Blue Devils, both old and new. No more lounging at the pool or in front of favorite soaps, week nights at the library Instead of partying at the park. Our tans began to fade as a new school year came into focus. Seniors took over the book return and curiously glanced at the sopho- mores, often mocking them as if the signs hung in every hall were not enough. As the junior and senior guys attempted to Impress unsu- specting sophomore girls, the fe- males spoke only of the ‘cute’ P.E. student teacher, Dennis Schmidt. Winding staircases twisted with red and blue, spirit stirred students speculating on the winning football season. “Central is a place of tradi- tion and outstanding achieve- ments,” commented junior Tim Al- drich. “It is a school where students with similar Interests can be In- volved academically, athletically and socially.” Another year . . . another class . . . the five minute bell sounded leav- ing only a few minutes before the start of first period. Sophomores rushed to class, only too aware of the strict rules regarding tardiness. Juniors returned feeling a bit more confident. And the senior guys made their way to class a bit late (one couldn’t help noticing their slow distinctive swagger). With summer behind us, a new year began. It brought with It good times and expectations, but most of all a feeling of unity. We were the Cen- tral High School student body and together we could make anything happen. FOR MANY SOPHOMORES the first day of high school can be very challenging, but sophomores Troy Sanders and Paul Selrra were not prepared for a newly painted locker, (photo by: T.
