Supervised study can be found only in the classroom. Most teachers offer their classes frequent opportuni- ties to study near the end of regular class periods to work on future assignments when the teacher is nearby ready to answer individual questions and give personal assistance. Students find this a good time to get much work done. Extra-curriculars often offer potential study time for busy students seeking the well-rounded experiences of after-school activities. Bob Tilker snatches o little studying on the auditorium stage apron during rehearsal of a play to be given during school. With studying its principal objective, study hall ofFers a wide variety of possibilities for quiet personal activity or inactivity. Among other things can be found studying, sleeping, daydreaming, reading the Spotlight or magazines, and even note passing. Study hall provides on excellent place for serious studying for a student with a busy schedule as in the cose of Belva Bender.

Probably the most popular place in school for Bengie ' s family to study is the library. Here students ore permitted to move about freely, getting books from the shelves or checking assignments with fellov classmates or reading magazines, so long as they are quiet. Start with a quiet room. It takes a quiet room, a closed, concentrating mind, and a sharp pencil to accomplish the fine art of studying. Central ' s study hall helps accomplish this. Degrees of quietness depend upon which period you happen to be there. Period one can be par- tially eliminated; some hove not fully awakened, others have homework to do. It must be period seven (that last hour is a long one) when voices elevate themselves above a dull roar. The beautiful, bright library is a most wonderful place. Always it is quiet. Always it looks cheerful. You have at your hands books, magazines, and the latest newspapers. You have much greater freedom of movement than is possible in the study hail. Most fellows appreciate the lovely array of service workers in the library. The active people, who have to make their own time, often have to make their own study halls. This is accomplished at the end of classtime, in homeroom, between scenes at dramatics, or between bites at the lunch table. Happy is the scholar who has his studies done, now it ' s time for fun. i

ABOVE: Coach Herb Banet suffered many anxious moments in the State basketball tourney at Indianapolis. On the bench behind him are assistant coach Bob Armstrong, LeRoy Turner, Ray Thompson, Steve Hanic, and Bob Tilker. BELOW: Kelley Keim and Bengie (Dave Fitzv ater) look over the crowd as Dionn Hood, Belva Bender, and Connie Leach lead a cheer. INSET: So near, yet so far ... I could just die . . . Let ' s get out of here. These were just a few of the many words uttered after the Bengals ' game in the State finals at Butler Fieldhouse. Mighty, proud Bengie; An inspiring coach, a yelling crowd, a fighting team, and a heck of a lot of spirit. That ' s another facet of Ben- gie, one especially prevalent during the basketball sea- son. And this year was Central ' s year for basketball. It started a long time ago, when ten different guys first touched a basketball. Gradually they learned to love it. This year those ten guys got their hands on that basket- ball again. They made good use of it, even in Indianapolis. It does a school good to see a team improve steadily and surely. It does a school good to see the way the town turned out to cheer those guys, even when they came back in defeat. They all said the same thing, . . . we tried. Woit ' ll next year. But that ' s a different story for another teller to tell. Took City. Took Sectional. Took Regional. Took Semi- state; and State, well . . . darn near took that, too! Bengie rose to great heights this year. Mighty Bengie, proud Bengie. Got a right to be proud; look at what his boys did. 10
