Bi-weekly Receives All American Rating Mr. David BraendTe attempts to solve a problem for Sports Editor, Jim Reiss in the midst of the clutter of papers needed for the approaching deadline. Central’s Bi-weekly received an All American rating last year. The National Scholastic Press Association gave them the All American rating and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association rated them first. However, they were not one of the medalists. This year’s staff had an average of 20 members. Six key positions were assigned: editor, sports editor, feature editor, news editor, art editor and editorial editor. The staff was lead by Dave Talaga, Editor. Early issues of the Bi-weekly were a problem because only one person with newspaper experience from last year returned this year. Positions on the staff could be changed, however, the positions of editor and managing editor were not changed. Dave Talaga remained as Editor and Bob Lynch retained the office of Managing Editor. Bi-weekly looked forward to a successful year. Jean Tomaszewski, Carla Wales and Sue Flem-mer are kept busy discussing ideas for the next issue of the bi-weekly newspaper. 28 ACADEMICS

Popular Song Sets Mood for Centralia ’71 Figuring out just how to draw one of the layouts for his sports sectio is Juan Valencia. Following the footsteps of a first class yearbook, this year’s Centralia activated a popular song as its theme. The song “We’ve Only Just Begun” was agreed upon unanimously by the staff because of its relevance to contemporary high school life. Full color pictures were not used in Centralia 1971 as was used in the previous year’s annual. Rising color costs and a limited budget were the main deterrents. However, a second color harmonizing with the cover color was included to add wider variety to the finished pages. This year’s chief editor was Debbie Suchodolski and business manager was Shirley Ambroziak. They were chosen by Mr. Leonard Ecker at the beginning of the 70-71 school year. Yearbooks could be ordered at the time of registration as well as during an October sales campaign. The cost was $5.00 with an activity ticket and $6.00 without. For the first time, students were allowed to pay for their annual on an installment basis. This system was devised at the time of the General Motors strike to aid students who might be affected by it. Placing pages of names in order for the index of this year’s yearbook is Kelly Higgs. 30 ACADEMICS
