They must secure pertinent facts concerning the history, aims, and membership of every club and athletic activity in Central High. Everything from the member of the T. N. T. to the basketball star's high point game must be at the annual staff's tips. But the securing and classification of information is only one of the annual staff's jobs. They must sell SLU00 worth of advertisements to practical-minded local businessmen. must keep books accounting for that one thousand dollars, showing how every cent is spent why. Somebody has to do the tedius but necessary work of matching the photograph of every s dent and teacher in Central with his name and then arrange all of them alphabetically. When thi... volume which encompasses every student, every teacher and every activity in Central High, is fin ally compiled, it must be advertised, sold, and circulated. Correlation of these multifold operations falls to Editor Helen Defoe and her associate editor, lim Slezak. Marion Okon, as business manager, keeps the accounts. Advertising manager Grace Mertens supervised the sale and layout of ads. lean Hamilton and Alice Pettyplace had charge of publicity and circulation. The publications class comprises the annual staff. Miss Harris is staff adviser. 2 VII Someday, you too can write editorials and cover news stories. These are the lures held out to the publications class apprentices, English VI I. VI I is a combined English and journa- lism course. The class members assist the annual staff by selling advertisments. During the last half of the year, they put out three is- sues of the Centralia in order to get the feel of the publication. which they will take over next year and in order to alleviate the burden of the publications students who are busy with the Annual. Editors elected by the VI I'S were editor, Stanley Iaroske, and news editor, Shirley Colbert. Miss Harris is class instructor. 1. PRESENTATIQN Mr. Wright. .Art Adviser: Helen Defoe, Editor: and lim Slezak, Associate Editor. WE, the Editor and Associate Editor of the 1948 Annual, submit this book to the students of Central in the hope that it will. in some measure, win their approval, as this will be the twenty-fifth and last book published by cz com- bined east and west side graduating class. We have tried, in this twenty-fifth anniversary book, to picture the activities of the past year in a new and different way. Tc. do this has meant long hours of work on the part of every person connected with the staff, but if we have been able to give you, the students of Central, what you want, each one of us will be fully rewarded. For the success of this yearbook we would like to express our gratitude to our advisers, Miss Harris and Mr. Wright. and all members of the faculty who have helped in any way to make this, the 1948 Centralia Year Book, a successful production.

What with the rush between classes, the hub-bub in the halls, and the sea of strange faces, many of us were in a daze. The unfamiliarity of all this was alleviated slightly by the fact that the Freshmen were gathered together in the auditorium, by our principal, Mr. Briggs: our vice-principal, Mr. Ornans: the dean of girls, Mrs. Roth: and the dean of boys, Mr. Garlock. Here we were told about school life at Central. Thus we began our Freshman year. The Freshman Mixer was one of the first social gatherings of the fall term. Running true to form there were those who joined in the fun and those who were still too shy to push themselves forward. Not long after this party the first six weeks of school were over and report cards came out causing shock to some, joy to others, and relief to all Freshmen. The football games are a must in everyone's school activities, including Freshmen. The Freshmen boys also have a football and basketball team of their own. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays sped by, and soon, much to all students' concern, mid-semester exams made their appearance. A few more months slid by, and then spring vacation was given a hearty welcome, as we knew we would soon be ending the dreaded Freshman year and be- come Sophomores. MARY ANN SPENCER SECRETARY TREASURER oys Girls 10th GRADE PRESIDENT SECRETARY VICE-PRESIDENT TREASURER BEING a sophomore is more than just being in the second year of a four grade course. It means being in the year in which we can fully appreciate the meaning of high school. Now, as sophomores, we think of how we, as freshmen, had to become acquainted with Central, its teachers, its habits and regulations, and also with its activities. We now know the things tied up with sports, especially the feeling of pride in compet- ing with members of other schools, and our reward, a letter. Bowling and basketball were sports that every sophomore could enjoy. Being acquainted with Central now, we are looking forward to spending two more plea- sant years here. The future, meaning the junior and senior years, lies so close. We hardly recognize that we have now completed one-half of our time here at Central. We hope all students who will be sophomores in the near future will enjoy it as we, the class of 1950, have. ARLENE ENGLEHAHDT . 34 MR. WRIGHT'S GROUP MB. CADY'S GROUP 4 3? wow GRADE 6 .

The Iunior takes an active part in all student activities including sports, dances, and extra-cu.r- ricular events. The Iuniors plan to take part in the work on the I-Hop, from the actual select- ing of co-chairmen and committees to the final cleaning up of the gym after the dance is over. It is a Iunior who is elected president of the Student Union. While the publications class is working on the annual, the English V and VI-I classes edit and publish the Centralia. Always active in sports, Iuniors play on both the varsity and reserve teams. Students pre- paring for work in the radio studio are also, for the most part, Iuniors. No longer called cr freshie or sophie . the Iunior is now known as the big brother of the lower classmen. - , STANLEY IAHOSKEE 42 Boys ' A MR. DERSNAI-I'S GROUP MR. BROWNE'S GROUP MR.

An end to these Ianuary graduations is to be regretted by those of us who are Ianuary graduates because the classes graduating at that time of year are always small. This en- ables the student to become acquainted with and friendly towards everyone in the class: in the larger classes, this same student would just be associated with definite circles. This also provides smaller groups ,at the luncheon and other similar functions. During our years so far at Central we have been participants as well as spectators in school activities such as football, basketball, baseball. plays, dances, and student govern- ment. We are now looking forward to our Senior activities and graduation next Ianuary. THGMAS VAN LAAN 48 l 4 l oys Girls MR.

This was followed by the senior luncheon at the Le Chateau. Bernice Guoan and George Ralph were the capable co- chairmen of this activity. Dick Wendland was toast-master. Later in the afternoon the class were guests at a theater party arranged by Georgia Calopisis and Edythe Carlson.

Those a cappella members, 42 in full strength, un- der the direction of Loren Cady, are so good every one wants to be in the audience and we have to go along to make' 'em appear uni- formly pretty. This past year we went to Unionville, Mid- land. Flint Central, and appeared over our home station WBCM. We also sang at the Christmas assembly and Band Bounce and oh yes, for the Rotary and Kiwanis. Gee. We're popular. lt must be the gold collars. THE Girls' Glee Club now has a group consisting of 55 girls. They meet in a regular class and are directed by Mr. Cady. They participate in the Christmas assembly and Band Bounce as well as other programs throughout the year. 68 BOYS' CHORUS and SMALL BAND THE Boys' Glee Club numbers 20 this year. They meet every day in a regular class session under the direction of Mr. Cady. They participate in many programs throughout the year of which the Christmas assem- bly and the Band Bounce are the most important. WE. the small band's instruments, are naturally the best 'cause we play together so well. We are used when the great big band is just too big and we do our performing at pep assem- blies and at basketball games. 70 ,Q ,, .......i.,. 5 il' 5 XXNNQ Xa . Y A VZ? ,.

Our first duty as a freshman class was to elect our class officers who were Charles Coryell, president: Marion Okon, vice-president: Josephine Lee, secretary: and Elaine Sams, treasurer. We then chose Grace Mertens. Richard Perkins. and Helen Defoe as our senators. Louise De Vinney, Elizabeth Burgess, and Gloria Schroeder represented the girls of our class in the Girls' League. After surviving the hardships of being lowly freshmen, we triumphantly entered into our sophomore year at Central. Russell Olson was elected president to lead our class during the year. Other officers were George Clark, vice-president: Jeanette Weggel, secretary: and Ralph Tucker, treasurer. Repre- senting our class in the Senate were Richard Perkins, James Slezak, and Grace Mertens. The girls of our class elected Suzanne Bassett, Marilyn Layle, and Shirley Leonard to repre- sent them in the Girls' League. Selling hot-dogs at one oi the football games was the major activity of our class during our sophomore year. By the time we became Juniors, we had suc- ceeded in becoming accustomed to Central's way of life. Our class was enlarged when students from Handy joined us in the fall of the year. Our first official act as Juniors was to elect our class officers who were Robert King, president: Donald Brewster, vice-president: Patricia Neering, secretary: and Ralph Tucker, treasurer. Elected as senators were Grace Mertens, Andrew Anderson, and Emerson Garlick. The representatives of the Girls' League were June White, Barbara Bennett, and June Knochel. The major social activity of our junior year was the J-Hop, which was held on April 25. Andrew Anderson and Grace Mertens were elected co-chairmen of the affair. They chose as the theme April Showers. In the midst of our junior year, a political bout was staged in the form of a Student Union election. Charles Sessner was elected Student Union President and Russell Olson Vice- President. 72 President Sessner appointed the following in- dividuals to be members of his cabinet: Ray Johnson, Secretary of Student Affairs: June White, Secretary of Publications: Andrew Anderson, Secretary of Finance: William Schultz, Secretary of Athletics: Jack McDermott, Assistant Secretary of Athletics: Harold Qual- man, Attorney General: Walter Sebald, Senate Clerk: Marion Okon, Senate Secretary: Thomas Friedman, Chief Justice: Robert King, Asso- ciate Justice: Rudean Roth, Secretary of Inter- School Relations: and Joan Hebert, Parliamen- tarian. And so we arrived at our final destination, 390 strong. We were the graduating seniors! Our class officers were James Slezak, pres- ident: Lois Weishuhn, vice-president: Jeanette Weggel, secretary: and Gloria Schroeder, treas- urer. We elected Grace Mertens, Josephine Lee, and June Knochel as senators. Members chosen for the Girls' League Cabinet were Marion Okon, Gloria Schroeder, and Shirley Toeppner. June Knochel was president of the Girls' League while Rudean and Roberta Roth were elected treasurer and secretary, respec- tively. of the same organization. The debate team finished a successful year by tying for the Valley Championship. Seniors on the team were Andrew Anderson, Thomas Friedman, Emerson Garlick, Henrietta Gorzen- ski, Sue Harbourne, Joan Hebert, Pearline Perkins, Jack McDermott, and Clarence Licht. On the editorial staff of the Centralia Bi-Week- ly were June White, editor: Gloria Schroeder, news editor: Thomas Friedman, feature editor: Forster Maxwell, sports editor: Marion Okon, business manager: Grace Mertens, advertising manager: Tom Parkinson, circulation manager: Helen Defoe, art editor: and Jean Hamilton, Times correspondent. Other Publications mem- bers were Alyce Pettyplace, James Slezak, Joyce Gallagher, Irving Goldberg, and Forster Maxwell. Helen Defoe was elected editor of the Annual and James Slezak associate editor. Our class also gained fame in the world of sports. Those in our class who made the varsity football team were Alfred Arnold, Gerald Cabage, Robert Dennis, William Dunlop. Donald Glowicki, Charles Hamilton, Robert Hannon, Robert King, Floyd Kubasiak, Richard Perkins, Walter Sebald, Robert Wieland, James Williams, and Edward Wascoe.

Coach Tessmer's squad was hit hard by both mid-year graduation and Iune graduation of 47 , but three underclassmen, who were brought up from the reserves. together with two senior veterans of last year's reserve champions, molded together a tive-man team which finished the season, winning seven and losing nine. Don Glowicki and Jerry Sietferly received honorable mention awards from both All- State and All-Valley polls. Milt Mead received honorable mention on the All-Valley selections. Although the Wolves finished second to last on the Valley standings, and lost the regionals to Midland by the score of 41 to 28, the stirring play of the under-classmen shows great promise to future basketball campaigns. 103 BASKETBALL-Reserves FIRST ROW: lim Sams.

Prospects. however, for next year appeared much brighter as the team was composed mainly of sophomores and juniors. ' Perhaps the brightest spot on the team's record was the swimming oi Alex Gold- berger. Goldberger finished third in the 100-yard backstroke event at the state meet in Ann Arbor. Earlier in the season he smashed a pool record in the same event in a home meet. The reserve tankers fared much better than the varsity as they placed first in the Valley Reserve meet held at T. L.

EAD Coach Paul Grein certainly had material to pick from when the 1948 Track season opened this spring as seventy-five boys turned out to boost the Track team over the top in 48.

Some of the staunch thinclads likely to give opponents elsewhere trouble are Bob Bertrand, Don Glowicki, Bob Hoffman, lim Hardy, Iim Slezak, Bob King, and Mike Burnor. U NDER the able guidance of Coach Lester H. Sherbeck, the 1948 tennis season began with the first match at Flint North- ern High school. April 23. For Sherbeck's crew, it meant long hours ot practice and perfection. For hadn't their predecessors under Coaches Kern and Stringer brought back Valley laurels at the end of the 1945 and 1946 seasons respectively, the Netters might not have had the opportunity to keep the tradition up. True, last year the Netters dropped to a lower standing, but the triumphs of the two tyearsl still ring.

CENTRAL'S Golf team was a little slow in organization this year when the Linksmen forgot to come out and maybe because we lost some golfers in graduation last year. At any rate.

I 122 '1--'QL ART STAFF IF you told David Nutt that you can't judge a book by its cover, he wou1dn't be too receptive for David designed the 1948 annual cover. As you open the annual, think of Georgia Caris who did the illustrations for the title page. When you gaze in fond admiration at your photo, remember Gerald Agdanowski, Loretta Schaffer, and Ieanette Tasiemski, who mounted the pictures. Who knows? Perhaps Earl Nitschke's portrait sketch of our illus- trious Student Union pres- ident, Charles Sessner, will win a place beside Gilbert Stuarts George Washington When glaring at your favorite teacher's picture, let your mind wander to Ioan Constantme who did the illustrations for the teacher's section. David Nutt did the 1llustrat1ons with a musical motif Social activities were illustrated by Donna Rexer, and Mary Monks took care of the undergrads Art work was under the supervision of Mr. Wright. When Perry Warner, Junior College student and photogra- pher for the Centralia bi-week- ly, starts taking action shots no one is safe, not even the news- paper editor, Iune White, who was caught at work. Notice that look of surprise on Iune's face.

A more serious trend of activities began Iune 6 with Baccalaureate services held in the First Presbyterian Church. Our years of work, play, and never-to-be-for- gotten friendships came to an end Iune 10 with Commencement exercises. In charge of the exercises was Bonnie O'Loughlin. We owe a great debt to Central which can never be fully paid. We wish to extend our thanks to our teachers and advisers and to our class sponsors, Miss Pauline Lillich and Mr. Frank Hewitt, who worked hand in hand with us to make our senior activities a success.
