O O O °l Sen crV Seniors! Tilth lur.ps in our throats and tears in our eyes we take time to reminisce about the long but wonderful four years of the past. Do you remember the large, strange halls, the multitude of. teachers, and the dragging on of those long periods with no fifteen minute recessos? After struggling through Junior High we eagerly approached high school with high ideas, but r.y, oh myl what was this charging down the hall at us? We scuttled aside like lambs to observe that it was only a couple of seniors making a last minute rush to class. Sven though we were mere freshman trying to overcome our awkwardness and become adjusted to the antics of the upporclassmen we had many grand tires. Dressed in slacks and overalls, we climbed aboard tractor-drawn wagons and hit the road for a class party at Long Lake. We rode back to town under the bright harvest moon, singing at the top of our voices and very much pleased with our first party. Then how could any one forget those exciting rides to the Old Order Church on the Hathaway fire truckl .Yith the poor student teachers standing up under the strain of Stauffer's heckling and ?rs. Adams still puizled as to who furnished the class with Sen Sen as they were sweating through linear equations, we ended our first year of high school. The sophomore year rolled around with us feeling more self-confident than ever. Our first party being a come-as-you-are party welcomed the new members of our class. It was roally a party, with the committee going to all extremos to find people in their most embarrassing clothes. We remember the big treasury we had, which contained nearly fifty-two cents all year. Then in the spring our party was at the C.C.C. camp near Lagro. With all the food, fun, accidents, and pictures we.took, it was loads of funl Speaking of accidents, how can we forget Ted, falling in the water? Anxiously, we awaited the junior year ao w oo» ld alt on the east side of the auditor inn. With a few cents in our treasury and thoughts of making money in our heads, we opened the junior year with a bang----the Junior Carnival. There was the business of counting votes, catching the ducks, and hunting prites. But the best part of it was the money we made. Instead of fifty-two cents we had a couple hundred dollars in our treasury. Along with the junior year come a Christinas party and another party at the C.C.C. camp. Probably one of the most exciting adventures was the Jr.-Sr. trip to Chicago. How we ever squeered that trip into twenty-one hours we still wonder1 With thoughts of running the school next year, we anxiously entered into simmer vacation. At last the big year arrived. Our fear of upperclassmen was abolished. Ted Hathaway and Jeff loft for the army, with Jeff returning after a few months' service. We girls still think we were a bit too lenient to the freshman °,irls on initiation day for Sunshine. Our first big party of the year was a ohicken dinner, prepared by the I others. After the party we made reoords. After hearing them, we still wonder whether they were worth the dollar and fifty that we paid for then. This was really a busy year. The Cen-Hi—Sun ot off to a good start; the annual editors were elected. No seniors were going together. It seems that the junior girls attracted several of our senior boys. And, we might add, several college boys held the senior girls' attractions. Then this spring cane banquets, contests and the Senior play. Ah....these are fond memories! For some of us this is the last year of school and for others it is only a good start. As for all of us, it's been loads of work and fun together here at Central.
