Farewell Central! leave with noii I lie echoes of our boisterous laughter. the shuffle ol our shoes and lln rinjx of our chatter. Remember all lln fun we had? Entering your broad doors in tin fall of P). |. we tumbled pell iii4 l I into I In hiiss lift ol Jr. High. little sh at first. we soon became ardent supporters of all Central's aetix ilies. We'll never forget our I resliman year. All the ‘’greenv '' girls were officially initiated into Sunshine h their Senior ’big sisters.” Dressed in elothes of the roaring twenties. they htiinhl) bowed before all the Seniors. In our sophomore year we tackled our first fund raising project, the Sophomore-Junior pancake supper! It was a lot of fun! We beat tin Juniors which gave 11s a good start for the following sear. Juniors! At last those envied Juniors! Our Junior Carnival was a huge success, breaking all pre ions records! t cver home hallgame we peddled our pop. popcorn, peanuts and candy that no hallgame is complete w ilhoiil. In the spring we sponsored ’ Vn Evening In Paris.” the Junior dance. The climax of this big year was the all night party sponsored h the service clubs of North Manchester. Starting off with a big banquet and we enjoyed a hypnotist's show, danced, saw a movie, and finished the night's affairs with breakfast. Now our Senior Near is over. Highlighted with magazine sales, working on the annual, and our Senior Play, it has left us with many fond memories. None of us will ever forget that wonderful trip to New York and W ashington. Chinatown, the Empire Stall Building, the waterfront! fter Baccalaureate, that glorious hour of Commencement arrived. Now with a tear which we bravely blink awaN. we close the door of six wonderful years at Central and look out to the future, enriched with fond memories.
