JOHN MODLIN RICHARD SHERMAN BARBARA HARGIS President Vice-President Secretary MARY MCGOWAN BEVERLY BUNDY BILL JENNINGS Treasurer S ergeant-at-Arms Giftorian StNIllH HHIHHS Professor Wilkesburger turned away from the iridium lighted plastic television set where he had been watching the Solar System Series baseball games to meet the horde of young people who were drifting down the sky-hatch on flying tubes. The electric eye had just marked the hour as 0915 fLunar Timeb, and classes in the Central Superior Mental Discipline Institution were beginning. Pro- fessor VVilkesburger had long been a fixture in the imposing glass and chromium edifice, and his class in Pre-Solar history was popular with all the stu- dents. PTP PPTP ' PP N Ji 'PP llll 'P WT Hrumph! he began. Fellow seekers of the truth, today we are going to delve back into the history of our native terrain. VVe shall discover many interesting facts concerning recent excava- tions made in this vicinity. As far as we can tell, our own educational institution stands directly over an ancient structure of similar nature. Oddly enough, it was called Central High School, and a considerable number of anecdotes have been un- covered through archaic publications found in class- rooms of that remote period. To clarify our study of these ancient people we shall follow a group of students through their entire secondary schooling and compare their lives with our own? The professor paused, went to the transparent plastic wall and pointed to a low, flat building some distance to the east. S'0ver there, under our new Central Airdrome, stood another school building called Central Junior. We find that, even in that time, democratic principles were instilled in the 14 students. Elections were held by each class, and in this particular group which we will study, the officers chosen were: Pat Hughes-President Claude Sherwin-Vice-President Shirley Trump-Secretary Bob Twin-Treasurer Many other activities occupied the time of these young people. Clubs known by the titles Hi-Y and Girl Reserves were an important part of their social 1ife.eSomeone named Bob Twin led the boys' organi- zation while Mary McGowan headed the girls. The students began stirring in their latex-foam chairs, anxious to hear more of the interesting life of their predecessors. In 1940, these ancestors of ours left Central Junior and came to the building over which this one was built,', continued Professor Wilkesburger. Many new experiences awaited them in their new environment. The custom of these creatures was to present a talent show each fall which was called Variety Night. The class of our choice was well represented in this first endeavor of the school year. Bill Lawing, Steve VVard, and Mary McGowan all contributed to the general success of the production. In the meanwhile, lusty cheerleaders, Bill Lawing and Johnny Modlin, were encouraging the '6Sophs,' to cheer their classmates Steve VVard, Bill Jennings and Claude Sherwin on to new attainments in a strange and barbarous sport called Football. Next on the school calendar was a competitive game called
