Service, friendship, experience Embodied deeply in Central traditions are our clubs, bulwarks of leadership and cooperation. There, indeed, I Centralites learn by doing. ln holding offices, delivering talks, and su l ' ' pp ying entertainment, we learn responsibility which teaches us dependability as well as leadership. We lead because we have followed- We , cooperate because We have had to lead. Yet t s. hrough participation gin outside activities, We meet our classmates, and, by these meetings, friendships grow. At first, our acquaintance lives on present excitements, later, hese are not all the benefit T through our service together, We find friendship h ' as a deeper meaning. Clubs afford relaxation, but, above all, they have interest -interest in different fields drawing those with common in- terests together in happy, helpful companionship. We have traditions because We have clubs. Many are the accomplishments of our after-school activities, and, throu h th g em all, can be felt the undying spirit of Central 25 ' I :W E3 f, t,, it ' bis. 5' tt ' ' A514 23' l.,x'f :EEF w,w't2ei H EMU? arjff 'I' 'A f 'Q' V u i 'mC -qs 1' ' 'ig-:ffl f, ,i ' ., x its 1 Q 1 ,I t J .ai 'H 'lf if t . .. , , ,-.,i j l it' zz 7371 X ' ' ' f f y t 'Xt X Page 6 CLUBS at Central encourage participation in interschool activities.

' ' STUDENT COUNCIL 1941 Helping the students in every way possible, the Central Student Coun- cil acts as a mediator between the faculty and the student body. This year, Miss Anna B. Lewis, dean, was the able adviser of the group. As a permanent background for the council, a code, including the purpose, was composed by the cab- inet members. Personality rating charts were giv- en to each member for self-evalua- tion. Then, a chart was made under faculty supervision for the student body. Meeting every other Wednesday in the Activities Room, the body form- ed resolutions and recommendations concerning V Day, attendance at pep sessions, welcoming new stu- dents, C.C.C.-Clean Cafeteria Club, behavior on buses, and general school improvement. The Lost and Found Department was continued this year, and the Student Council bulletin board was kept up to date with weekly activities posted every Monday. Apart from the serious work, an All-School Dance was held with the Press Club December 9. Directing business matters for the year were seniors Charles Iacoby, Dan Connor, and Louise Wright. Each underclassman group elects its own vice president and secretary, who direct activities in their own classes. These nine members com- pose the cabinet which directs the major business at regular meetings. - LOUISE WRIGHT. MATH CLUB 19 13 l-ley, studesl Come with us. All you need is a year of algebra and one semester of geometry. loin our club and have the time of your life. Learn of the famous men of yore, solve puzzling problems by the score. Every meeting is opened by the singing of the Math Club song. Talks on very interesting and current topics are given by such outstanding speakers as the first president of the Club, Mr. Croninger, our principal, and important people in our War pro- duction program. Problems which are not touched in the classroom are solved. Games are played that en- gage the members in a 'ibattle of wits. Prom the time the club Was organ- ized in l9l3 by Mr. D. W. Werremey- er and Mr. Iohn R. Clark, the club has grown. This year, the club celebrated its thirty-first anniversary, and, as in former years, made the celebration a gala occasion. The anniversary Was combined With a Christmas par- ty. The club is under the supervision of the advisers, Miss Mary E. Gard- ner, head of the Mathematics Depart- ment, Miss Marie Christman, and Miss Dorothy Ridgway. Officers the first semester of this year were Myron Pio, president, loan Karr, vice president, Constance Lin- denberg, secretary, Peter Trier, treas- urer. Second semester, George Tsig- uloff, president, Mary Louise San- ders, vice president, Virginia Dare, secretary, and Dorwin Wilson treas- urer. -CCNSTANCE LINDENBERG.

NATURE CLUB 1939 Things in nature, the stars, the rocks, the birds, the flowers, the bees, all ever-present and yet often un- noticed and unappreciated, hold great fascination to members of the Nature Club. Bird hikes and general nature hikes have a prominent place in the activities of the club during the fall and spring. These field trips help ac- complish the purpose of the club, to secure a better understanding of nature. 1 Meetings are held every two weeks on Fridays throughout the year. At indoor meetings, members enjoy a program consisting of talks by fellow members or guest speak- ers. Of special interest this year were talks by Ted Katras, Mill Nielson, and Miss Rosemarie Hackman. Special projects this year included a study of the economic value of birds and the study of local flora with many new specimens added to the herbarium. Central's Nature Club is a member of the lndiana lunior Academy of Science. Each year the club awards the academy pin to members eligi- ble under the point system. The offi- cers elected for the first semester were: Louise Wright, president, Paul Myers, vice president, Ardella Kirk- by, secretary, Shirley Hughes, treas- urer, Martha McHenry, publicity chairman. Second semester officers were: Ar- della Kirkby, president, Mimi Maur- er, vice president, Olivia Zahki, Sec- retary, Raymond Eastes, treasurer, Clara Mae Waikel, publicity chair- man. Adviser is Miss lva Spangler. -MARTHA Mcl-IENRY. LIBRARY 1936 'lSpell your last name, please, can be heard frequently when enter- ing Central's library, where nineteen workers assist the librarian daily in the essential work that keeps the library operating efficiently and ef- fectively. The Library Service Group, an ac- tive branch of Service Club, was organized in l936 for the purpose of spreading unity and fellowship a- mong library workers. Social meet- ings are held approximately two times each semester after school, in the library. Marylou Ehrman and Alvera Baldwin are president and secretary of the club, respectively. At eight o'clock every morning, the busy library day begins. At this time, four of the group are on hand to stamp, renew, and stack books. First period, cards must be replaced in the newly returned books, which must in turn be placed on the shelves. Overdue notices are taken care of, and attendance must be taken and recorded. Again four workers per- form these tasks. During each of the following periods, one representative of the group spends his study hour helping Miss Beierlein with the rou- tine work. At the close of the school day, four helpers take care of the stamping and renewing during the rush and prepare the library facilities for the following day. Members of this group receive much from their library experiences. They gain a knowledge of the library system and of endless new authors and books, a better personality, de- pendability and a satisfaction comes from service to the school. -MARYLOU EHRMAN.

Of course he wonders, be- cause the programs are always new, different, and interesting. One may be in the form of a lec- ture connecting Latin with another subject. Miss Eoza Tonkel opened the fall meeting with such a talk about Latin and English. She pointed out how Latin words can be found hiding in English words and how they still retain their original meaning. Such information vitalizes Latin, makes it more fun to study, and proves it to be a living language. Sometimes, games are played with Latin wordsg sometimes, short talks about the ancient Romans, their cus- toms and holidays are heard. At our Saturnalia, observed at Christmas time, a play was given which showed the customs observed by the Romans at their Christmas CSaturnaliaD. lt proved to be very fun- ny as well as enlightening. The largest meeting in the spring term is a picnic. Everyone comes to play such games as baseball and tennis. The officers, called primus consul Cpresidentl, secundus consul Cvice presidentl, and quaestor scriba Csec- retary-treasurerl, are elected twice a year at the beginning of each new term. The officers of the first term this year were Verla Mellinger, Helen Ho- lom, and Barbara Seidel. The officers of the second semester were l-lelen l-lolom, Anna lean Gaskill, and Bon- nie Raber. The Latin Club advisers are Miss Mcliinnie and Miss Lucasse. -VERLA MELLINGER. FRENCH CLUB 1938 Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, was formed by Miss Mildred Brigham upon requests from her sophomore French classes seven years ago. To become a member, the student must have completed two semesters of French with passing grade unless his average for the first semester was B+ or above. l-le must come to five meetings to be eligible for a club pin. French Club celebrates the feast of Mardi Gras just as they do in France. Pancakes and milk are the refreshments served at this particular meeting. At Christmas time, mem- bers of the club give a small play in which Pere Noel is able to distribute the exchange gifts that the members have bought for each other. The other big meeting of the year is the potluck supper which is held in October. The last special meeting of the year is the picnic breakfast held at Foster Park when officers for the next semester are elected. The refreshments are Frenchitoast and bacon. Games, business affairs, songs are played, spoken and sung in French. Meetings are closed formally with the singing of the Marseillaise. Every meeting features some new form of entertainment. Members enjoy com- ing because they anticipate a pleas- ant time. Fall officers were Marjory O'Neil, president, lohn Escosa, vice presi- dent, Rachel Houck, secretary, Mary Ann Druly and Edna Plescher, pro- gram heads. Cfficers elected for the spring term were Pat Laulis, Colleen Shampine, Miriam Askin, and Yvonne Everett. -PAT LAULIS. Top: Refreshments and singing highlight this French Club meeting.

Thus senior tells sophomore and junior re- minds freshman of Friendship Club meetings. Friendship members, meeting un- der the direction of Miss Amy Barnes and Miss l-lelen Burr, advisers, have varied programs of games, songs, devotions, inspiration, and-friend- ship. The prime purpose of these meetings is to give the girls an oppor- tunity to develop the three sides of their lives - mental, social, and spiritual. y As Girl Reserves, junior members of the YWCA, Friendship girls can know girls from other high schools through Ring Circle and the lnterclub Council meetings. They share spon- soring events such as a dance, the Tournament Twirl, and Sunday aft- ernoon vespers and teas. At home in Central, Friendship Club has traditional meetings. Each year, an impressive candle-light ini- tiation service, special Christmas and Easter meetings, and a Senior Send-off in the spring are held. Friendship and CTC Clubs joined this year, both sets of officers remain- ing in office the first semester. First se- mester officers Were Betty Fuhrman and Mimi Maurer, presidentsg juanita Koger and Dorothy Riedel, vice pres- identsg Ardella Kirkby and Betty judge, secretariesg Louise Wright and Patty Laulis, treasurers. Second semester officers were Mimi Maurer, president, Barbara Behny, vice president, Norma Reuille, secretary, Doris Riedel, treasurer. -BETTY FUHRMAN. HI-Y CLUB 1918 Banquets, dances, hayrides, and splash parties are a few of the activi- ties annually sponsored by the Hi-Y which tend to furnish a balanced life for its members. This year, the hayride, by some miracle, was not rained out, but held October 21. The weather was fair, appetites tremendous, wieners marshmallows, cider, and other as- sorted goodies disappeared rapidly. I Stag or Drag, the annual dance sponsored by the club, was held in the cafeteria February 2. The tradi- tional decorations consisted of the big Hi-Y banner hung against the backdrop. Many attended the 'Splash party which was held at the YMCA March l7. ln addition to swimming, ping pong and other games were played. After the party, members enjoyed punch, cookies, and dancing. Climaxing an eventful year, the Sweeheart Banquet was held April 20 at the The main purpose of the affair is to honor a member of the faculty. This year, the Sweetheart of Hi-Y was Mrs. Dorothea lohnson, publications adviser. First semester officers were: Bob Zahn, president, Bob Stetzel, vice president, Myron Pio, secretary, lohn Tuggles, chaplain, and lim Dornick, sergeant-at-arms. Second semester officers were: Bob Stetzel, president, Carl Klemme, vice president, Myron Pio, chaplain, and Bob Zahn, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Balph O. Virts was adviser of the Hi- Y Club for the past year. -DAVID DOENGES. Top: Members of the club pose outside the old building for a picture. Center: Officers confer during a meeting.

Twice a month, this is heard as girls hurry to their meetings to enjoy study and fun with their fellow Centralites. Delvers is one of the most interest- ing and entertaining clubs in Cen- tral. Founded by Miss Ruth Brown, English teacher, to promote interest in the field of English, members delve into that subject for inspiration, knowledge, and fun. Meetings are made interesting by interviews, open discussions, book reviews, and experiments in writing. At other times, outside speakers, either adult or student, highlight the program. Usually, one subject is studied for a semester. A visit to WOWO and a talk by the School of the Air Supervisor made the study of radio not only interesting but also educational. Once, the study of the Kentucky mountain people was made realistic by actual correspond- ence with a Kentucky mountain girl. The two outstanding social events are the Christmas party and the Mother-Daughter Tea. At Christmas time, the room was decorated with candles and holly, transforming it into a lovely holiday scene. The tea is held in the spring and mothers are given this colorful party to show the appreciation their daughters have for them but often forget to show. Two requirements for membership are a grade of C or above in English and a class rating of freshman or sophomore. -EDITH SCHIMMEL. RED CROSS 1940 By completing more projects than ever before in its history, Central's Red Cross Club truly carried out its real reason for existing. At Christmas time, always the bus'- iest of the year, this club sent out the traditional Christmas baskets to needy families of Fort Wayne. For service men and Women in hospitals, transparent Window decorations, tray and table decorations, and Christmas nut cups were made. Also, with the help of lndustrial and Art Departments, checkerboards Were added for this group. As in past years, gift boxes were sent overseas to children in liberated countries at Christmas time. ln Feb- ruary, boxes filled with educational and other helpful things for children were also sent across the ocean. At Halloween time, fifty nut cups were made for servicemen. For Thanksgiving, again transparent Window decorations and nut cups were made for men in hospitals. ln lanuary, an all-school drive for novels, various games, and playing cards Was sponsored by Red Cross These, too, Were for servicemen. Art Club and Red Cross held a very successful dance, the Mistletoe Prol- ic, December 22. Central lunior Red Cross members are proud to say they have done their part in helping their country and in living up to their splendid title. Adviser of the club is Miss Leona Kuhn. The presidents for the year were Doris Doenges, first semester, and Margie Blessing, second semes- ter. -DORIS DCENGES.

ART CLUB 1922 Something new and different is the pass word of the Art Club. This has been proved by the great suc- cesses and high goals the Art Club has attained in the past year. This year, the club had a Wiener bake one evening. The Christmas season makes the art rooms buzz with gaiety and activ- ity. Many meetings are called to make final plans for decorating the halls and stairs and making the tra- ditional Christmas tree sparkling and beautiful. After the halls were decor- ated, the members enjoyed a potluck in celebration. As last year, the holiday season brought forth a double order for the club. Working together with the Red Cross Club, they gave the annual Christmas Dance, this year named Mistletoe Frolicf' The dance was a huge success. As February l4th drew near,, the club was again making plans for a dance. February 9th, lack Davis, freshman Art Club member, crowned Geneva Schrock Queen of Hearts at Cupid Capers, the Valentine Dance. This was another successful dance, and Cupid herself appear- ed, personified by Patty Lawyer. For educational value and enter- tainment, Mr. Louis Bonsib spoke to the members on the subject What is Art? Directing business matters this year were Louise Wright, presidentp Geraldine Mohr and Sharon Davis, vice presidentsg loan Karr and Do- lores Ducy, secretariesg and Pat Sta- bler and Phyllis Eckles, treasurers. Miss Mildred Walker is adviser. -LOUISE WRIGHT. STUDENT PLAYERS 1920 Twenty-five years ago S.P.C. first came into existence and it has grown steadily into one of the most active organizations in Central. Each month a meeting is held to settle general business and to pre- sent plays given by program com- mittees. Plays are presented before the public, too-one acts, senior play, and Christmas play. This club is no ordinary club. One must first take a semester of dramat- ics before being initiated. The fall initiation is very interest- ng as Central, South Side, and North Side initiates all meet at the North Side Auditorium to present their plays before the members. Awards are given for the best play and also to individuals doing outstanding work. ln the spring, initiation is held at some park while members attend a picnic. The club operates by the point system. Points are given for taking part in plays, doing stage crew work, prompting, managing property, and doing other jobs which are necessary in a successful production. The Gold HD is awarded 'to those members who have the highest number of poin s ,the S.P.C. has other pins for every member. Eirst semester officers were luanita Koger, president, Lucille Rumple, vice president, Esta Springer, secre- tary-treasurer. Second semester of- ficrs were Dick Doenges, president, Phyllis Eohrbaugh, vice president, and Esta Springer, secretary-treasur- or. Miss Margery Suter is the adviser. -ESTA SPEINCER.

For Spotlight people, the requirements are 3,000 points and the adviser's approval. For Caldron people, approval ot both adviser and editor or manager is needed. Big potlucks at school and picnics at parks are the usual form of meeting. The February meeting this year Was probably the most enjoyable. Follow- ing two informal initiations, movies were shown. These consisted of Donald Duck comic and Spotlight scenes. Dick Doenges was president, Phyllis Porter, vice president, and Chuck lacoby, treasurer. TOP: Initiates prepcn food for active members.

Every year in the spring the Boosters advisory council selects new members for the following year. This board is composed of the officers, representa- tives from the three upper classes, and the adviser. Members are chosen to represent organizations to which they belong. Boosters were honored this spring by the P. T. A. when they were entertained with a banquet given in the honor of the season's work. TOP: Sadie Hawkins' D Dance posters are paint . . .

From the time when tirst we enter school, we devote all our time to practice upon our instruments, well knowing that early mas- tery is vital to turther progress. During study periods, we go into any one ot the small rooms adjoining Mr. Bailhe's otiice, and practice tor an hour. ' Membership is not limited in the Central High School Band, it is open to all tour classes ot students. Points are given for at- tendance at rehearsals, programs, and games.

Every fourth period when one goes to lunch, one hears us tuning up, and keeping in practice for the many occasions which demand music. Programs and concerts take up a great deal of time. Other than that, much prepar- ation is needed before entering music con- tests, suchrasthe one held Saturday, April l4, at Central Catholic High School, which was sponsored by the music-minded teach- ers of Northeastern lndiana. Minds were made up-we entered the contest with de- termination, and succeeded in winning first place. S i Many of our members belong to the Iunior Civic Symphony, and those who are really good gain membership in the Fort Wayne Civic Symphony. Many hope to become professional musicians after graduation. BELOW: Members oi the Quin- tet from left to right are: Alma Schooley. Ruth Fowler, Evelyn Moore. Seymour Cook. and Vir- ginia Dare.

The duty of a high school paper is to keep the student body informed and, to fulfill this duty, that circulation must be high. The work of the editor- ial staff is to supply the reading material for the papers. lnform-ation for a complete coverage of news, features, and sports is gathered and written. Copy and proof is read to discover errors made by the reporter and printer. Headlines must be written and the paper laid out so that on Friday mornings each subscriber will have an interesting issue. Publishing the Spotlight requires much work, but the staff members find time for pleasure. At work and at traditional social events. Between semesters is the mid-year party, and in May the annual ban- quet is held. ln between, they sponsor several dances.

Fun, honors, memories Central's events insure for use an abundant social life. Before the event, we glory in expectation, afterwards, its memories live Within us. The expectation lasts for weeks, months, or some times years, the memories, many of them, endure throughout the rest of our lives. Dances, banquets, conventions, assemblies, plays, make up our colorful heritage. By attending such social gatherings, Centralites familiarize themselves With formalities, acquire tact and colorful personalities. Those behind the scenes, to Whom the success of the affair is credited, develop through participation, creativeness and poise. And What makes these affairs attractive to us for a life- time? Not only their beauty in execution but also the keen anticipation built upon memories of other Wonderful occa- sions Wrought by previous classesl Even in our freshman year, We anxiously awaited such dates as the lunior Prom, the Senior Play, knowing they would be events Worth re membering even as they had been in other years.

A - Page 49 TRADITOINAL .... Action, excitement, crowds On the gridiron, hardwood, or cinders it is all the school spirit can do to keep pace with the swiftness of the Fighting Tigers. They are called Centralites because they go to Central, they are called Tigers because they fightl Skill gives them speed, tradition gives them spirit. As the records show, they battle because the Bengal's tradition is to win! Beginning in September, the athletic season starts on the football field. There, lines of muscle and sinew may slacken physical speed, but by using plays like our famous spread formation, we tackle our opponents with mental quickness. Indiana is famous for basketball, Fort Wayne is its head- quarters, Central is its heart. Race-horse basketball finds its origin in Tiger teams which have made a game of endurance for their opponents. Consequently, in the country where basketball is popular we have a school which it has helped make famous. Last of the school year in sports we follow track. Still depending on speed, our first track State Championship is accredited solely to tape-breaking. Perhaps this year's teams have fallen short of the tra-- ditional standards, yet when the scoreboard margins grew so did their spirit, thus they won, if not victory, at least the name-the Fighting Tigers!

Win One, Tie One, CENTBAIJS BATTLING FOOTBALL BOYS were not quite as potent last fall as in pre- vious seasons, but they did show that the traditional fighting spirit lingers in Tiger teams even through a losing season. Lacking 'most of the characteristics of a really strong gridiron aggregation, the Ben- gals managed to salvage only one victory and one tie in the nine games played. They opened the season in great style, coming from behind to defeat the favored North Side Redskins. However, after that exhibition of spirited football, the Blue failed to achieve another triumph. ln a return tilt with Central Catholic, the two squads battled to a deadlock to account for Central's one tie. ln the other seven con- tests, the gridders bowed before North Side, Central Catholic, Muncie Central, Hunting- ton, Elkhart, and South Side. The season did pay off in one respect, 54 in Nine-Game Schedule Carl Klemme however, in that it gave the returning letter- men actual game-time experience. Boys who will return next fall to represent the Blue and White are eleven in number and should pro- duce a powerful combination. Last year's squad chose Guy lones, star left halfback, to have the distinction of be- ing honorary captain. Iones, colored senior, was Central's chief threat both offensively and defensively. Leading in most depart- ments, he sparked the attack, even while go- ing down in defeat. Handling all the school's athletic equip- ment and helping out the team and coaches were Melvin leffrey and lim Bunner, student managers. Central's fans are looking forward with great enthusiasm as the school's two coaches, Murray Mendenhall and Bob Worthman, are saying, 'ilust wait until next year.

' Tigers Triumph Twelve Times By Car1Klemme FIGHTING HABD ALL THE WAY, the Battling Bengals chalked up ten victories in regular play and two in the tournament competition out of a total of twenty-one tilts. Coach Murray Mendenhal1's boys were hampered early in the year by their lack of experience and size. However, they nulli- fied these disadvantages with speed, fight, and all-around ability. The fast-breaking Bengals surprised many dopesters by running up the score on Hartford City in the opening clash of the season, but, hampered by poor rebounding, they were nosed out by Cetral Catholic in their second encounter. However, they trounced lefferson of Lafayette to make it two out of three. The Blue bowed before North Side and Kokomo in two thrillers before they again got into the win column by edging Central of Muncie. Then, they suffered their two worst defeats-to Anderson and to Auburn, only to come up with a perfect week as they trimmed South Side, Columbia City, and Lebanon. They lost again to North Side be- fore defeating Etkhart and Huntington. ln their last four scheduled games, the team tripped South Side and Marion while losing to Hammond and Concordia. ln the section- al tourney, the Tigers drubbed Woodburn and New Haven before losing to South Side in the semi-finals. The Tigers chose loe Biggs, tall junior center, to wear the gold stripe, symbolizing honorary captaincy of the net squad. 1944-45 BASKETBALL SQUAD Top row, left to right: Coach Mendenhall, Shearer, P.

CGAA's TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY was celebrated this year. ln twenty years, CGAA has acquired many traditions for which it is famous. Among the best known is the girls' gym exhibition, but one of the oldest traditions is the rotation of sports by seasons. When the girls start to school in the fall, they look forward to vol- leyball, then speedball, then basketball, in the spring, they expect other activities, end- ing with softball. Traditions which have become custom- ary for the club include working the check Page 64 room during the sectional and regional tourneys when Central is the city's host, giving a Christmas party from which all gifts are taken to the Pixley Relief Home for the children, and attending the annual CGAA Banquet. Adviser for the past fifteen years has been Miss Meribah Ingham, and this year's officers are Barbara Keplinger, president, Donna Hey, vice president, Helen Holom, secretary, Wanda Neat, treasurer, Norma Taylor, point recorder. -By BARBARA KEPLINGER.

When difficulties obscure the ultimate objective, we seek more tangible goals. These encourage Centralites to complete their education by arous- ing them with anticipations. Appealing aw NAL . ards await the ambitious pupils. Their desires are aroused by challenges like the four-year Honor roll, the National Honor Society, the valedictorianship, and other singular achievements. These events, like the Senior Banquet, baccalaureate, and commencement, are made traditional. I Friendship is another valuable outgrowth of classroom and extra-curricular intimacy. We meet, at Central, all kinds of people and all kinds appeal to us for varied reasons. As we work and play together, sharing disappoi fun, we meet many and b ntments a d , as we pa ook and s ' n ge through the pages of our ee their faces, we remember many. As we grow older, these pictures will bring them back to us. Hu. HW, MW' 'WI WWW v 51 seg. .5 1 gyF,,7,w ' 3,1351 , sf ! ' .

She main- tained an average of 94.193, She was president of Friendship Club, Central's DAR Citizen, member of Boosters, and NHS. OUR SENIORS ACADEMIC achievement is one of the highest ideals emphasized in the schools. Those who made the four-year honor roll may Well feel that they have done something worthwhile in high school. This year, there were only six- teen on the honor roll at Central. Betty Fuhr- man was named, valedictorian with an aver- age of 94.l43, and Charles Guenther won the place of salutatorian with an average of 93.36. During the four years that the Class of '45 Worked its way through high school, World conflicts were at their peak, juvenile delin- quency reached a new high, many were call- ed from their studies into the armed forces, and high wages lured a large number of pupils into the factories. Cf those who did remain in school during this time of World hysteria, it may be said that they did their patriotic duty to their government. Sixteen seniors made an average of 90 per cent or above. Shown on these pages are those who Won this honor. Page 70 WIN HONORS OPPOSITE PAGE TOP BOW LEFT: Betty Euhr- man, Charles Guenther, Lois Whitson, and Ianice Stabler.

Bill Davenport was the general chairman of the dance, assisted by the jun- ior class officers and social council. Since their debut in l942, they have made an enviable record for themselves. The members of the junior class have partici- pated in varsity basketball, football, track, intramural, dramatics, musicg and yet, in spite of all these activities, the class has maintained an average of sixty students on the honor roll each six Weeks. Next year, they will be seniors - the crowning glory of all school years. They hope to have many students on the four year honor roll, and a large graduating class.

Entering with an approximate enroll- ment of 450, have proved very outstanding as a class, with an average of fifty-five on the honor roll each grade period. Among the many freshmen who have been recognized and held in high esteem is Delmar Banks, one of the few freshmen ever to play on the varsity team. He played guard position on the second string but, nevertheless, did his share in winning many of our basketball games. Others who aided in winning our preliminary games are our reserve Cheer. leaders: Elmer De- mo, Buster Green, Bob Elwood, Ierome Hille, lack Carter, Dick. Montooth, and Charles Imler. A new honor extended to our class this year was the crowning of Geneva Schrock as Queen of Hearts. This was the very first time that a freshman girl was crowned queen at a dance. Shirley Lutz, Ioyce Harper, and Ioyce Penrose wait for the Lewis street car. . . David Iohn- son and George Hadley work in the cafeteria at noon . . . Rex Sunday and Buny Wolfe leave via the bicycle room at the end of the day.

T Reciting, studying, learning Traditional at Central is the capability of our faculty Their maintenance of high scholastic standards has procured fruitful results in other activities. Representing every gen- eral field, our faculty offers liberal instruction to each differ- ent individual. ln all wisdom, our instructors believe educa- tion to be a twofold process: that of training and that of thinking. T We are trained to use our hands, to use our minds, and to coordinate both. We are trained, but not like animals, for We Wish to be trained, We are thankful that We are given the opportunity. Why? Because the outstanding accomplish- ment of'Central's teachers is their ability to instill in students the desire to learn. l-low is it done? This problem evokes the second phase of education, thinking. Both the advantages and the disadvan- tages are laid before us and it is ours to choose, our choice is obvious. Thus, by seeing its benefits, We acquire our educa- tion with vigor and enthusiasm, and simultaneously develop the habit of thinking and depending upon our own decisions Page 106 .4 EARLY morning find th s e ever-vigilant taculty on its toes, sorting over the mail for the day.

Page llU 4 OUR DEAN The center of all activity at Central is Miss Lewis' office. Here, one sees all the people 'representing the various clubs and organizations who dash into the office to get the key to the activities room or to get a date for the big events which are held during the school year, as are the people shown above. Shown at left is Miss Lewis talking on the telephone while Doris Long and Phil David argue over the publications banquet and the Booster picnic. Bob Zahn is waiting to get in a word about the Sweetheart Banquet. Bob Stetzel sets the day for the Senior Banquet and Doris Doenges arranges for a Bed Cross meeting while Barbara Shearer waits for an ab- sence slip to be signed. These are only a few of the many people who are constant visitors in the office. ln spite of all this, Miss Lewis helps all Centralites to get ahead- a tradition which has been proved by the prominent graduates. OUR OFFICES Checking grades, writing letters, making necessary telephone calls, col- lecting absence slips, checking lockers, filing, typing, sorting mail, checking programs, and making out four-year cards-these aretbut a few of the many tasks performed by the office Workers. Miss Doloris l-lamman and Mrs. Phyllis Bryie take charge of these tasks, and still find time to give advice. Central's War production training program lies mainly in the busy hands 4.

Cooperation, service, participation ln our striving to help Win the War, We Centralites have displayed our traditional fight. We have crammed our pro- grams far beyond the customary periods in our effort to do our part. At first, We got after-school jobs, With our pay, We bought War bonds. We held scrap drives, joined and supported the Red Cross, gathered gifts for servicmen, welcomed alums returning in every sort of uniform. T Although no man can serve two masters, the increase in part-time Workers did not mean that study and extra- curricular activities Were abandoned. We remembered that our post-War life also Would require preparation. We studied. The war cleansed subjects of their seeming passiveness and gave them active meaning. So keen became our interest that it was not lessened by our outside activities but rather augmented. This has not been Central's first year under the strain of War, it is another of a series already too long. Still, We are Winning on both fronts, living up to our tradition: the Fighting Tigers! x gg' ,..-af I S I 'F' T 'F'-e Lx i r 3 fl ff 7 WWI xxvoff il 5' Etifyxxt -3 ' Vsxyr tb X J eg J be 7 Z Nxggiy, X X 'aff-9 iss te- ill ll Z it MNQQE wcggg ' i W f ' Ki X QXS ixff -- - - .Y, - ' .
