Qrirsf Student Gomzci The first semester Student Council under the direction of Beverly Cockrell launched a big attack on Central's needs and helped to build her standards higher. To promote good will and friendship among the girl students, a Big Sister-Little Sister Club was formed, headed by Virginia Bell. To get acquainted with a little sister, parties were given with dancing and skits. The United Funds drive, led by Cary Burgard, netted 330000. This sum came from contributions made by the students in their home rooms, collected by the Student Council Representatives. A bas- ketball game between the men faculty members of Central Senior and Central lunior, planned by Cary's committee, added materially to the fund for the Polio drive. Virginia Wilson was appointed chair- man of the safety committee, which as- sisted the city-wide fire prevention cam- paign by issuing the fire-prevention slips to the student body. To familiarize new students with the building, clubs, and sports, a handbook 42 .dlzifiazfes dvew was planned with Patti Mills as chairman. The first semester Luminary staff wrote the book which will be published and ready for sale by next fall. At the close of the semester each committee reported its work in an all-school assembly, leaving a good foundation for the second semester council. Officers: Bert Zeldin, sergeant-at-arms, Donna Lambert, vice-president, Beverly Cockrell, president, Diann Watts, secretary, Fred Horner, iunior continuity.

Assembly-line method is by tar the best in earning extra credit! Ltmizzary zzcoamqes Junior otmmlisfs The Central Luminary started as a magazine in 1885, became a weekly newspaper in 1920 and a bi-weekly paper in 1944. Each year two staffs composed of the current Newswriting 2 students publish the paper, which is now commercially printed. For many years the Luminary has devoted the first page to current newsg the second page to editorials, features, and literary itemsg the third page to secondary news, in a special column called by various names such as Snoopin' Around, news of the clubs, De Lano, Central Junior, and P.-T. A.g and the fourth page to school sports and R.O.T.C. The spring staff of 1954 inaugurated News Flash Bulletin Boards in the front hall and the lunchrooms. These enable the Luminary to post spot news and also run features illustrated with photographs which are not possible in the paper. More Centralites in this way can be featured in the news. The Luminary enters the annual contest of the Missouri Inter- cholastic Press Association and receives a gratifying number of First Class ratings every year. It is also occasionally entered in the National Scholastic Press Association and the Quill and Scroll con- tests and has received All-American and International ratings in the past years. Staff members who are in the upper third of their class and rated excellent for their staff work are recommended for the Quill and Scroll Honorary Society for outstanding work in the field of journalism.
