graduates ol 1939 leave We seniors, just as any other normal students, revolt at the idea of work and say that we'll be glad to graduate. But as the day of graduation approaches, we know that we'll miss the mixers, the football and basketball games, plays, Intersociety, and all the other activities peculiar to high-school life. In this book are recorded, in picture and in word, the important activities of the school year, so that we may look back and recall our high-school days. The group was first organized during its fresh- man year at Central junior. There the following officers were elected: Bill Hanley , , , President Barbara English . . Vice-President Bill Damico , , , , Sem-ezary Lorene Stewart , , Trgggurer Bill Hanley, President Bill Case, Vice-President Bernie Wlood, Secretary Barbara English, Treasurer Lorene Stewart, Sergeafzl-at-Arms Doris Hill, Giftorian four-year When the class as sophomores moved to the senior building, it entered a new era. Then clubs, literary societies, and athletics became integral parts of school life. In the Intersociety contest of that year, Doris Hill, the only sophomore who placed, won a bronze medal in essay. Ralph McNeal, Pete Lerner, Robert Austin, Dave Elias, and Louis Wal- ters began establishing their reputations in athletics. In the junior year, Bill Hanley was again chosen to head the class, with Barbara English, Bernie Wood, and Bill Case as aides. Many juniors por- trayed important roles in the spring play, Headed for Eden, and Virgel Parman had one of the leads. Bud Trump, Leonard jackson, and Kenneth Smithey joined the group of outstanding athletes. During their junior year, the class was outstanding in Inter- Page 12 FE socie info Clarf Virg orati El Rese bert Lern ical and bask M tral as pi Yiggbisb

The four aims of National Honor Society are to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate the desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. Eligibility on the National Honor Society requires that the student should have a grade average of 2.6 or above. Any extra-curricular honors the pupil has acquired are added to this. The entire honor system was devised by a joint committee of the student council and the fac- ulty fifteen years ago. Not more than five honor points are given from each department of the school. This system aims at preventing a few students from cornering, school activities to the exclusion of other capable students and to the detriment both of themselves and the activities. Not more than the highest 10 per cent of the class is choseng therefore only fifty people, on the average, are admitted each year to mem- bership. Although each applicant must be passed by all faculty members, only misconduct to a large degree, such as dishonesty and gross negligence of duty, would be sufficient for a teacher to vote against an individual. Admitted to membership too late to have their pictures included were Alice Hall, Gloria Houtz, Mary Sue Kearny, jean Powell, and Margaret Waggoner. First Row: Margaret Botkin.
