JANUARY CLASS HISTORY HE JANUARY GRADUATES of both Eastern and Handy Junior High Schools in the year 1934 came to Central as freshmen. These freshmen at first did very little cooperating but stood by their respective junior high schools. In the tenth grade they elected Floyd Smith, President, Sybil Werbelow, Vice-Presidentg Coral Huff- man, Secretary, and Jim Follette, Treasurer. In the Senate there were Ruth Alla, Joe Kinsey, and Bob Bailey. The class was small on its entrance, consequently the honor roll was small. Feeling less self-conscious in their second year, the class elected Gordon Lee as Presidentg Gerry Hobart, Vice-President, Jane Fox, Secretary, and Jane Eyre, Treasurer. In the Senate the class was represented by Bob Austin, Donald Larsen, and Coral Huiman. This was an awakening year for the class. With it originated the idea of giving J-Hop or Senior Prom tickets away at a dime dance preceding the affair. The class planned for a long time for its J-Hop. Gerry Hobart was chairman. A more beautiful gym was never seen. It was ,decorated with living scenery-fir trees and branches trimmed with Christmas- tree lights. This was their first successful achievement. In the senior year many of the members of the class were dropped from school, but the eighty-six remaining members knew that It is quality that counts and not quantity. Also this class broke all previous examples and elected a girl, Betty Thomas, as President. Sybil Werbelow was elected Vice-Presidentg Coral Huffman, Secre- taryg and Martin Taylor, Treasurer. Jane Eyre, Jeanne Stickle, and Betty Doran were named Senators. Deciding to make the Senior Prom a financial success, the class gave a dime dance to provide financial backing. This was supervised by Sybil Werbelow. At the class party there were games, dancing, and refreshments. The class was well represented in sports. In football-Floyd Smith, Bob Austin, Gordon Lee, Louis Prigocki, Donald Zielinski, Al Kehrier, Stanley MacDonald, and Adolph Heinz gave their services. Stanley MacDonald and Gordon Lee were high-scorers in basketball. Betty Thomas took the honors in tennis. In the sophomore year the girls' soccer teram won the school championship. ,Marvin Koffman, Jim Follette, and Frances Patterson were on the debate squad. For the Senior Prom, headed by Al Kehrier and Betty Doran, the gym was decorated in blue and silver with silver music notes, a moon, and stars hanging from the false ceiling. The fun assembly, an important event of graduation, was a great success with Gerry Hobart at the head. Q One classmate, Catherine Stark, passed away in her senior year. Jane Fox was the class valedictorian, and Geraldine Bowden was salutatorian. On Senior Day the cla.ss enjoyed a luncheon at the Country Club headed by Je-anne Stickle. Mr. Klager was guest speaker and Jane Eyre was toastmaste-r. After the luncheon the members of the class were guests of the Washington Theatre Management. Graduation was now becoming a reality and on February 4 the Rev. Carleton Brooks addressed the class at its commencement exercises. All were a bit sad at the thought of leaving Central, but they knew that the goal of graduation had been reached. Class sponsors, Miss Perrin and Mr. Carlson, aided in helping this class to live up to its motto, Not at the top, but climbing . . Class History Committee.
