Central High School - EN EM Yearbook (North Manchester, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1954 volume:

Page Tu o To Dancu TDtng I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me. though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and be-lieveth in me shall never die. JOHN 11:25.26 we, the Senior Class of 1954, take pride, along with our inconsolable sorrow, in dedicating this, our Annual. We dedicate this book to Nancy because she was one of our own number, who was suddenly and tragically taken from our midst, and quietly stole away to her home eternal on the afternoon of Sunday, November 29th, 1953- We dedicate this yearbook, not only to Nancy, but also to her family, her schoolmates, and to the countless others who are left with a vast treasure of cherished memories so generously imparted by Nancy to all those with whom she associated and wherever she went. Her absence has been felt in the home circle, the school circle, and the community circle because of her scintillating personality and her numerous talents. Her many dancing classes were of great service and enjoyment to the community while her lovely voice furnished delightful music both in the churches and in reviews. Her energy was limitless in working with her class, her school, and the church. Nancy was born January 24, 1936, in Lebanon, Indiana. In 1944 the Wing family moved to North Manchester where Nancy immediately began to offer her services to the community. She remained with us until her untimely passing in November. We take great consolation in the words our loss is His gain, for we know that Nancy has gone to claim her crown. Page Three F OR E W A R I) CORONATION YEAR 1954 We, the Seniors of North Manchester Central High School, are approaching the vast opportunities of life. A score and twelve of us prepare for the long awaited accolade at which time we are awarded the Royal Order of the High School Diploma as graduates of this institution of learning. Each one of us holds dear, in fond memory, every year and every mile stone of our high school career. Let's take a look at the Castle and a tour of the Palace grounds and follow the Tutors around on a typical day in the court. This, then, our theme, is timely in two ways: first, in that this is coronation season; and second, in that this is our coronation—our graduation. We, as Seniors, take pleasure in presenting to you our Annual, the 1954 En Em. Page Pour They say there is no Royal Road to Learning, but for the past six years we have been near that road. In and out of the doors, through the halls always searching for something. And at last we have reached our goal . .. graduation.

Preparation for this book began about the first week of school and continued in some form or other till the day you kids received yours at the end of the year. Pictures taken, mounted, sent to the engraver, returned to be put in dummy, contacting advertisers, and just hundreds of other jobs, put together with a little fun and fuss . . . and we bring you the Nineteen-Hundred and Fifty-Four En-Em.

For latest dispatchs from the king’s court, announcing of the tournaments, news of all royal subjects, look in the Cen-Hi-Sun. published bi-monthly by Central High School. Cen-Hi-Sun is a combination of Central, Hi-Y, and Sunshine. Originally the paper was put out by the Hi-Y and Sunshine alternately, now anyone interested in the paper may be on the staff. The paper is supported by student subscriptions and informal dances held after the Friday night home basketball games. When the Cen-Hi-Sun comes out, there is a general rush to read the gossip columns first, then the sports page, special features, news, Roving Reporter column, jokes. Senior Symptoms, and the editorial. The staff does its best to fill the demands. Page FourteeK Peabody Seating Company. Inc.—Steady Employment Since KAN I) . . . Though we’ve never seen old England o’er the ocean, we think our band is fine enough for the changing of any guard. Our band has given several concerts this year. It marched in the Kiawanis Kids Day parade and provided music for the home games during basketball season. It also participated in the massed band at the County Music Festival at Wabash. Several band members went to District Solo and Ensemble contest at Ft. Wayne. Those winning superior ratings were then eligible for the State Contest. Consequently, we are very proud of the achievements of our band which is under the direction of Mr. Gerald H. Miller.

The athletic program of Central consists of baseball in the fall, basketball in the winter, and track in the spring. As in days of old when knights fought for honour and fair ladies, so do the Central Trojans go out to various fields of endeavor to protect the name and honour of Central High School. This year Central's athletic program has been under the able guidance of two new coaches. Mr. Joe Long, athletic director, is head coach of baseball and basketball, while Mr. Bob McGinn is head track coach and supervisor of junior high athletics.

The Central Trojans had a very successful basketball season even after losing six of last year’s varsity players. They won 16 games while they lost only 6. Coach Long strengthened the Trojan’s schedule by adding Angola, bringing the number of county sear teams to a total of four. The senior members of the varsity who will be lost by graduation this year are Wendell Kreider, Tom McGraw, Mike Snyder, and co-captains, Dick Holderman and Tom Johnson.

SECOND TEAM The Trojan’s second team won 6 games and lost 12 games. Many of these games were lost by a small margin. These boys’ lack of experience handicapped them somewhat but with additional training and experience, they will develop into a strong team, which was evidenced by the fact that they won their last three games. Paxc Thirty Fred E. McClure Son JUNIOR HIGH . . . Coach ............................ Bob McGinn Student Manager .................... GBNE RICE The future of Central High School’s basketball teams is bright. The Junior High team won 11 games, while losing only 5 this season. Important victories included Wabash, Warsaw, and Columbia City. This is a good reflection upon the team and also upon Mr. McGinn, who is coaching these boys for the first time this year. We suggest that you keep your eye on these young players who will some day fill the vacancies on the Trojan team created by varsity losses. We are proud of all these organizations who have fought their battles so valiantly to protect the honour of our school. Second Row—B. McGinn, F. Roberts, R. Burch, B. Mitchell, G. Sheerer, R.

I lost one.” May I send an announcement around?” These are just a few of the questions that the two office girls, Beulah and Mildred, hear every day. What would we do without their services? We all would like to thank them for everything they do for us. Central was honored with visiting Royalty. She was Miss Dolly Go Tie, from Jacarta. Indonesia. It is quite an honor to be able to be chosen as one of the few exchange Teachers and an honor for Central to have Miss Go with us. (L. to R.) — Mr. Moore, Mr. Shonk, Mr. Stone, Miss Go and Miss Dingle.

Page Thirty Eight Compliments of George Fading—Helen's Beauty Shop KOVAL SVBJSCTS SENIORS.... Here we are at last. Graduating Seniors! As we look back over our activities we remember when we first came to Central—as green and scared seventh graders. We were thrilled when an upper classman spoke to us! As eighth graders we were pros'. We knew our way around the school just like everyone else and we felt sorry for those new seventh graders. In our freshman year the girls, dressed as babies, were initiated into Sunshine. Remember, girls? The boys were enthused only in sports and cars. Our sophomore year we helped the Juniors put on a pancake supper and sold more tickets than they. More fun! At last—Juniors! We had a hayride for our class party, but the main event of the year was the success of the Jr. Carnival—preparing for it and painting the streets and then heading for Fort Wayne. 1 doubt if Tom M.'s old truck will ever be free of the paint we spilled and it will always carry evidence of the fun we had. Cleaning up after ball games was a big event for us too. The Junior Dance was enjoyed and will go on our list of memories also. Page Forty Lautzenhiser's Grocery—Compliments of Cliff Snyder Motors CLASS OFFICERS SENIORS! The year, we thought, would never come, but here it is and almost gone. We worked hard, sold enough magazines to reach our goal, and later enjoyed a turkey supper with Mr. Young, representative of the Curtis Publishing Company. The outstanding salesmen were Tom J., Wendell D. and Nancy Wing for the winning team Ann A. and Jean N. were winners on the losing team. We chose our commencement announcements and the color for our caps and gowns early in the year. We worked vigorously to meet the En-Em deadlines, slaving away night and day and having as much fun as Mr. Shonk, even if he says he doesn't think he can stand it another year. The tryouts for the Senior play were over and play practice began. The Little Dog Laughed” was a great success. Those gruelling hours spent after school and at night working with Miss Noffsinger merited a success. The most discussed topic among the seniors was, When is our Senior trip? When do we leave? , etc. Finally on May 16 at 1:30 a.m., Sunday morning finds the train ready to pull out. The Seniors were full of life and the sponsors looked as though they could use about 'umpteen' more hours of sleep. The train pulled out and we were on our way! The trip was great fun and the only thing left was commencement. Looking back over the years, we have had our share of the fun and disappointment and wish we could do it all over again.
