Another great poet, Longfellow, once wrote: How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of Beginnings, Story without End, Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend! . . . All possibilities are in its hands, No danger daunts it, and no foe withstands; In its sublime audacity of faith, Be thou removed! it to the mountain saith, And with ambitious feet, secure and proud, Ascends the ladder leaning on the cloud!. Undoubtedly, Longfellow well remembered this pleasant, beautiful experience he refers to as youth. At Central, we have seen its illusions, have experienced its aspirations, and have dreamed its dreams. Somehow, as in no other age, youth finds that all possibil- ities are in its hands, no danger daunts it, and no foe with- stands. Its possibilities are unlimited. It finds in itself the am- bition, the security, and the thrill of being young. Nevertheless, youth does have its problems,- but be thou removed! (youth) to the mountain saith. Yet, we, the youth of today, cannot move mountains. We are powerless and in- capable in ourselves. This is where Central takes a hand. For, of Central, we learn that youth is not just a Book of Be- ginnings, but also a Story without End. Yes, Lord Byron, we heartily agree: The days of our youth are the days of our glory!

September brought many new things to Central. Over 300 new junior high students found their place in the environment offered at Central. And a new freshman class found its way to strangely different classes and a varied range of activities. First dance of the year, Salt Mine Stomp, was presented by the Publications Department for more than 400 students. September ' s end brought an All-American Rating to the Caldron of 1960. At the same time seniors elected Gordon Bainbridge, Dan O ' brien, and Elizabeth Arnold as their class officers. Juniors came next in electing Wally Christ, Jon Roscoe, and Sandi Roberts as class leaders. October was a month of campaigns. Arthur Page, Mike Himes, and Phyllis Mays were elected as sophomore officers. The new frosh set a record by nominating 20 students for class officers. After a close election, Dave Gaskill, Jay Penndorf, and Rose Mollison ended four class elections as the chosen leaders for their class.

October was also the month for Caldron sales. To boost sales sophomores presented every teacher with a big, red, juicy apple and, on the next day, a special award for every Caldron purchaser. With the coming of November came one of the liveliest political elections in the United States history. John F. Kennedy won the Presidency over Richard Nixon in a campaign which was watched by every Central student. Kennedy also won a student election at Central. A political rally in the gym aroused the interest of every student during the campaign. Gidget, the Junior Class play, drew a capacity crowd and was considered a delightful success. The cast was com- posed entirely of juniors. The new reserve cheerleaders, Linda Englebrecht, Phil Gil- bert, Betty Jo Lee, Lyle Neaman, Cheri Shriver, and Nancy Tieman were chosen from a huge group of 46 by a very close margin.

Thanksgiving brought a special treat to Don O ' Brien; he won a big Tom turkey just in time for Thanks- giving dinner. Mr. Spuller presented the turkey to Don for selling nine adult season tickets. Mr. Chet Sample donated the turkey as a prize for the contest. A smoothly executed Thanksgiving program marked the beginning of the Thanksgiving holiday on Wednes- day, November 16. The theme, The American Family of I960 and 1620, brought out the facts that the modern family has as many problems and hardships as did the Pilgrims.

On December 9, the Spotlight announced that John Arnold has been appointed to replace his sister Liz Arn- old, as editor of the Spotlight. Betty Vinson, it was announced, would continue as Business Manager. Decem- ber 13 marked the date for seniors to elect a boy and girl most likely to succeed. Gordon Bainbridge and Elizabeth Arnold were their choices. Central ' s Baby Bengals won the freshman tourney in Central ' s gym on Saturday, December 17.

Over fif ty bas- kets were accounted for by the students and faculty of Cen- tral, not counting boxes of food and clothing, gift certificates, and special gifts. The night was clear and warm. In the background one could view the skyline of New York with her many penthouses, churches, and skyscrapers. Lights flickered softly in windows as eerie, mysterious sports of lights glided across the darkened sky. Yes, this was the scene observed by 100 people who attended the Senior Dance, Penthouse Serenade, Saturday, January 28. Walt Kerfoot ' s band made its debut at Central ' s Senior Dance. They played such songs as Night Train, Blue Moon, and various jazz numbers. The selections were quite appro- priate; the band was rated in the eyes of many who attended, as the best Central has had in many years. La mer du temps (The Sea of Time) was proclaimed a total success, thoroughly enjoyed by each and every attend- ant. The Senior Banquet, in the midst of a sea netting, which consisted of a fish net supporting the name of the banquet, was attended by approximately 250 seniors and their parents.

The play was a western comedy based on satire of the old-time western melo-dramas. Tigerland in the ' 20 ' s was the theme of the annual Booster Club Valentine Pep Session. Four picture frames were placed on the gym floor. Within each frame were Boosters who in turn presented skits. The pep session was hilarious in every sense of the word. Perhaps a high point in the pep session was the presentation of candy to the Booster sponsers, Mrs. Patricia Martone and Mr. John McCory, who had to Charleston for their candy reward. The Easter program of 1960 was one which Centralites will undoubtedly never forget. The theme of the annual program was Christ, the Light of the World. Miss Blanche Hutte, art teacher, wrote the script for the program, organized it, and did nearly all the art work. The setting was a large vari- colored, stained glass window. It was a replica of a modern church window. The week following the Easter program, spring vacation, found the Caldron staff busily working to finish the last pages of the 1960 Caldron. Although it was a hard week, the staff was happy that the book was finished and on its way to press. Bob Bailey and Bob Tilker, among othe participate in the i960 Eoster program the boys ' gym.

Rebel Bob Tilker, Civil War threwback, was the master of ceremonies for the affairs. Yes, it was the annual speech Vod-Vil with the National Forensic League as its sponsor. The theme of the show was Oklahoma, and it included tap dances, pantomimes the Pizza Kings, with That ' s Amore, the Centralettes with Chansen d ' amour, dancing by the Marge and Charles dancers; the Bongo Beats with a new rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb, a declamation by Scharee Sullican, a piano and organ number by Mr. William Wetzel, Sunny Cameron singing Buttons and Bows, the Nightingales singing In the Still of the Night, and Cherry Pie by another group. May was an important month for several girls of the class of 1961. They were picked to serve on the Junior Prom Court. Included were Elizabeth Arnold, Barbara Beerbower, Frances Curry, Ida Davis, Sue Davis, Pettie Griggs, Carolyn Lange, Olga Litwinko, Omintha Petrie, Algean Rogers, Marty Thomason, Rochelle Tieman, and Connie Leach.

By far, the biggest prefect of the Music Department and the Student Council of 1959-1960 was an organ fund drive to purchase an organ for Central High School. The Student Council, led by Eugene Swift, aided the Music Department in raising funds for the organ ' s purchase. The Service Club boosted the drive by sponsoring a Cookie and Candy Crunch to aid in the organ drive. Several other clubs, along with many students, faculty members, and interested friends, donated to the worthy cause. Since the Caldron was finished and sent to press, Nancy Pogue, senior, having finished her work as assistant Cald- ron Editor, took over as editor of the Spotlight for the remaining part of the year, replacing Lewis Lantz.

By far, Bob Tilker gave his best performance as Simon Peter. He finished quite a career in dramatics at Central with this play. Ann Beers gave another exceptional performance as Fara. She added humor to the correct places to keep the audience reactions in control. Har- old Hopkins, playing one of his few dramatic roles, acted the part of Voldi perfectly. Hilarious costumes displayed by embarrassed beauties were the highlight of the annual Poor Man ' s Prom, The Fool ' s Hall of Fame, sponsored by the Caldron. Queen Jim Keim reigned over his court of dashing dam- sels including J. C. Lapsley, Willie Curry, Bob Tilker, Bill Frederick, Dave Fitzwater, Willie Rozier, Arthur Page, Larry Perkins, Wally Christ, and Henry King. Awards for the cos- tumes were given according to the audience ' s applause; the chaperones were judges. The funniest costume award was won by Willie Curry. The most original award went to Bob Tilker and Bill Frederick won the prize for the most beautiful costume. w Hf if it p During 5th period many students wait outside until the bells ring to enjoy the warm weather and companionship of others.

Gaily colored formals and white dinner jackets covered the floor as the couples swirled to the music of Herman Binkley. They waited eagerly for the arrival of the 12 beautiful girls on the court, and, of course, the queen. At 10 p.m. the couples stopped dancing and formed two lines to wait for the entrance of the court, and, of course, the queen. As each of the girls walked slowly down the aisle, exclamations were murmured, flash bulbs popped, and whis- pers passed throughout the crowd. After the court had passed down the aisle, Lisa Dellinger, crown bearer, came down with a white satin pillow in her arms. Laying on the pillow was a white pearl crown. Then, the moment everyone was waiting for came, and Queen Connie Leach glided slowly down the aisle in a majestic manner. When she reached the throne, last year ' s queen, Queen Karen Walworth, crowned her Queen Connie Leach, queen of the 1960 Junior Prom. June 3 was an important day for the Caldron staff, for that was Distribution Day. As soon as the book was formally introduced, students went to the gym floor to receive their books. The Caldron of 1960 was received as one of the best yearbooks Central has ever had. Ricky Kamm, Editor of the I960 Caldron, finally unveiled the traditional suspense about the yearbook at distribution day. It has been judged one of tiie best Is that really me? Look there ' s Marge!

Following photo- graphing of the Senior Class and homeroom period for the upperclassmen, students entered the boys ' gym to see 52 cups and trophies, shiny and gleaming, to be presented to deserv- ing Centralites. Graduation exercises were staged at Northrop Field, Thursday, June 9. The band played the traditional Pomp and Circumstances as the graduating seniors marched onto the field. Dr. Harold Albert, D.D., pastor of the First English Lutheran Church of Columbus, Ohio, was speaker for the affair. Diplomas were presented to the seniors by Mr. Ralph Virts, Dean of Boys, and Miss Meribah Ingham, Dean of Girls.

We serve our school through activities for the same reason adults voluntarily serve their community as active citizens. True, we gain honors, have fun, and make friends,- but more important, we serve others by our own choice. Good citizenship does not begin at graduation,- it starts now, in directed activity of service to Central. Clubs, sports, and added activities help us to find the ambition, the security, and thrill of being young. This added phase of education combines learning with educa- tion. It also serves as a connecting link which brings the instructor and pupil in closer contact. Yes Longfellow, we agree, How beautiful is youth! ' How bright it gleams! Our activities in sports and clubs bring out the beauty of youth. t the bi Ad manager Bonnie Wallace shows the ad files to Dixie Londis, Elain Smithson, Nancy Whited, Paul Vinson, Dave Gaskill, and Susan Koehlei the paper TOP BELOW: Early deadlines is an important part of the work of news and feature editors, Georgianna Easley and Joyce Chapman.

All enjoy working with others who share their common interest. The Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, News Editor, Feature Editor, Sports Editor, Copy Editor, and writers have their hands full with the approach of big events. The election of class officers, Christmas, Sectionals, Valentines Day, and Easter are a few of the issues that separate the men from the boys. Salesmanship and personality must be used to their highest degree to be on the business staff. It sells ads, pays bills, sells greetings for the Spotlight, and handles other business trans- actions.

Cheryl Tilker, Joyce Chapman, Georgianna Easley, Nancy Whited, Karen Zimmerman, and Jim Hullinger learn that late hours are an impor- tant part of making the quality yearbook that Central is accustomed to. New photographers tried our patience, but Below, Marquita Dilworth, Business Manager, and Norm Engelbrecht, Sa Manager, check records of the sales campaign. Producing an accurate account of the year ' s events in the form of a yearbook is the job of Caldron staff. Photographers are always at hand to capture the climax of school events. Then the editors and managers must make layouts, crop pic- tures, write captions, and type copy until the ultimate deadline is met. The work of the business staff must not go unnoticed, either. Without these people there would be no money to pay for the printing and all the supplies. This busy staff of workers must handle over $6000 for one year. This comes from sub- scriptions, collected by homeroom agents; assessments, with bills sent to organization advisers; sale of underclass pictures; and the Poor Man ' s Prom. The strenuous effort exerted by the workers has enjoyable rewards. The honors bestowed upon the Caldron makes each member of the staff feel a part of the book and its glory. The Caldron is the pride of Central and has become one of her most vital traditions. Identifying and cropping pictures take up much of the time of Ron Jo Sports Director, and Gary Travis, assistant Director. Making layouts is an important job of the Layout Editor, Cheryl Tilker.

Art Club helps make Central more beautiful Beautiful halls and attractive setting for the student body and faculty are products of the Art Club. The club also strives to prepare pupils for life in a cultural, artistic world. Support of Art Department projects come from the Art Club, which is composed of the least interested students to the most avid art fans. This year has been a busy one as far as the Art Club is concerned. It sponsored the annual Valentines Dance, Arrows in Orbit, which was the most beautifully decorated dance of the year. A Christmas Tree Trimming Party was held to dec- orate the Christmas Tree which occupied a space in the Cafe- teria. They provided the background for the Hall File and a welcome party for new art students. At regular meetings this year the Art Club has been enter- tained by slides and tour exhibits shown by Miss Blanche Hutto. They have also had discussions on various projects. Later in the year, Miss Loretta Acker, the club sponsor, was host to the club at a picnic in the country. The officers of the club shoulder much of the responsibility of having a successful year. The incumbents for this year were Juanita Wilson, president; Don Cooper, vice president; and Louise Borum, secretary-treasurer. The cooperation of the members and the sponsors has made this year an outstanding one for the Art Club. Don ' t fall off that ladder, John!

Press Club is fun time for publications people. 1150287 Press Club, the publications fun outlet, had a fun-filled and eventful year. The annual fall picnic, the Spring Banquet, and initiation proved interesting to all. This year was the twenty- third year of the club ' s existence. Other activities for the club included a Christmas party and a hayride in November. Press Club adopted a new constitution this year. One of the changes was a lowering of the required points to get into the club. With the modification, many new members were wel- comed. Requirements now stand at 1500 points for entry, earned in work for the Caldron or the Spotlight. To wind up the year the Press Club members had their annual spring picnic. This was a wild and hectic one. UPPER LEFT: Bob Hampton gives a Boy Scout pledge as part of his initiation.

Biology Club makes available to those students who have excelled in this area an opportunity to increase their learning experiences through club activities, including field study. The purpose of the club is to stimulate greater interest in the out- of-doors and natural science. Four interest groups within the club had charge of programs for meeting during the first semester. They were trees, insects, wild flowers, and birds. Usually preparation involved short field trips near the city in which they gained valuable information. Longer field trips during the year included study in Pokagon, Chain O ' Lakes, and Dunes State Parks. Members have also ventured to the Wells County Game Preserve this year. Biology Club, formerly known as the Nature Club, meets every month to discuss topics of biological nature.

Mad Anthony Wayne, as he was nicknamed, will never know of the active and eager club at Central High School which was named after him. Anthony Wayne was a local his- torical figure respected not only by the Anthony Wayne Club, but by all Americans. One important task the club undertook this year was the recovery of Anthony Wayne ' s painting which had been lost in the remodeling of the building. They held a special unveiling ceremony for this occasion and the portrait now hangs in Mr. Clifford Richard ' s room. To encourage an acti ve interest in local history and govern- ment is the purpose of Anthony Wayne Club. Visits to histori- cal spots such as Lincoln Life Museum, a voting demonstration, the annual mock trial, and attendance at the State Junior Historical Society meetings kept members busy. Officers elected unanimously both semesters were Harold Hopkins, president; Irma Tyler, vice-president; Karen Zimmer- man, secretary,- and Katheryn Tyler, treasurer. utch Hopkins and Doug Hughes have the fun of breaking on egg III Cunningham ' s head in AWC initiation.

Members go as high in rank as they are capable. Each boy must meet strict requirements to advance. The highest honor is Distinguished Rifleman Award. Students receive experience in this field with the help of qualified advisors, Mr, Richard Levy and Mr. Richard Horst- meyer.

Doodlebugs was organized in 1958 for boys who have a true desire to help Central. The membership immediately began to climb as there are many dear Centralites. The mem- bers are distinguished by their white blazers and emblems which they purchased last year, Mr. George Tricolas is the advisor. Most important of the services performed by boys of Doodlebugs was the sale of paperback books in the library. Books about almost any educational subject, including dic- tionaries and reference books, were displayed and sold to students. By doing this, the club hopes to purchase a stero phonograph for the school library. No girls allowed! is the motto of the Doodlebugs. The boys have done a good job alone. They offer services wher- ever needed and have certainly been active in boosting school spirit. r j of the club, No lead the club in i Engelbrecht, Les Burnell, Ron Smith and Mike Firetrucks, boosting Cen in the big bonfire spons jlites, and enthusiastic Doodlebugs all took part ed by the club before a football game.

Physics and chemistry lovers enjoy meeting solely for the purpose of doing things for which there is not time in regular class laboratory sessions. At club meetings, Central scientists have an opportunity to perform detailed study of subjects for which they have an interest. Phy-Chem activities included a Christmas party, Parents Night on February 28, a picnic, a liquid air demonstration, and a Gladieux field trip. A speaker who lectured on astron- omy and a film, Hemo, the Magnificent served to add interest to regular meetings. Participants of Phy-Chem gain better appreciation of science. This is accomplished by individual experimentation and monthly programs. Mr. Richard Horstmeyer is the club ' s sponsor.

Math Club carries work beyond class. Developing an interest in the science of mathematics, ap- preciation of the history of math, and accuracy in dealing with math are the prime purposes of the Math Club, the oldest high school organization present in Fort Wayne. Since its be- ginning in 1913, the club has continued to investigate the phases of this science for which there is no time in class. In addition to the regular meetings, the club sponsored a dance, Snowflake Frolic. All members participated in a pic- nic in May to honor members. Dorothy Ridgeway and Leona Plumanns are co-sponsors of the club. They are often the influential factors in guiding stu- dents to careers in medicine, engineering, science, and mathematics.

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch had a cast composed entirely of freshmen It was an all-senior cast who presented the Senior Play, The Man Who Came to Dinner. Even though it is rare for one play to be cast from one class, the Thespians promoted the situation three times. NTS was organized in 1953 to enhance the advancement of dramatic arts in the school. Tears fell, hankerchiefs appeared and the mood of sadness diffused the auditorium as students watched As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, the first play of the year. A satire of western movies, Meanwhile Back at the Ranch, brought forth giggles and hilarious laughter. The Junior Play, Gidget was a drama.

The Future Business Leaders of America at Central strives to aid students in establishing these qualities. A member of FBLA is also encouraged to participate in coopera- tive effort, to improve the home and community, and to strengthen confidence in herself. Several bake sales, a contribution to the flower fund for the War Memorial, the State Convention at Ball State, and a meeting for alumni of Central ' s Business Department were the activities this year. Inviting former members back to give talks is a tradition of the group. Miss Georgia Heal is the advisor of the club. Her hard work has been the determining factor in the success of the club. Speech students seek outlet in Forum Club. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! These words were exclaimed by a famous and experienced speaker, Patrick Henry, The Forum Club, a derivative of the National Forensic League, strives to develop, promote, and improve speeches and speech activities here at Central. Forum Club encourages beginners and is an auxiliary ac- tion in improving the ability of experienced speakers. Voice, language, body action, and mental activity are all coordinated in the speech program. Mr. James McFadden sponsors the Forum Club. The club sponsors the annual speech dance, the Vod-Vil, and the in- tramural cup and trophy competition in speech at Central. Trips to Ball State College, Howe Military School, New Haven, and North Side were highlights of the extra-curricular program of the club this year.

Through a series of long-range efforts and planning, the club doubled its attendance and had as high as 115 students at after-school meetings. The club officers feel that they have seen YFC accomplish its main goals. For the organization is probable attended by more students than any other club or activity at Central. The activities of the club have been varied. In November they held a Pizza Meeting for nearly 100 guests. Seventeen pizzas were delivered to the cafeteria after school for an entire program conducted by candelite. A turkey dinner, a Hot Rod meeting, a chile supper, and a duo meeting aroused the interests of all YFC members. A superb film, Great Discovery, was shown featuring Colleen Townsend Evans, an academy award winner. But yet, through all their many and varied activities the club has not lost sight of its main purpose. It could be said that a theme appropriate for them this past year would have been, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.

Recording grades, grading papers, and running errands are just a few of the many activities done by service workers. Over one hundred students each semester are active in Cen- tral ' s Service Club. Students do service work in the library, the office, study hall, the classroom, and in the form of er- rands in the halls. The students and the school pr ofit by the work the service workers do. These workers help the school run more efficiently; the stu- dent is helped to adjust to life, and it enriches his high school days. To be a service worker, a student must have a high scholastic record and keep his grades above overage to con- tinue doing service work. Since there are so many members, it is hard to find a meet- ing time suitable for all members; so the club has no regular meetings, no officers, and no dues. Parties, however, are planned throughout the- year, at Christmas time, and a special party for the awards to be presented by Mrs. Dorothy Vallance, sponsor. Counting, stamping, separating, filing, and assorting is only part of the work done by a library service worker. Esther Spranger finds the work to be good training. I I -i Vi.i F. T.

Future Teachers of America is a club organized to help members identify quality traits and aptitudes related to teach- ing and to understand the development of public schools. It enables members to gather information on vocational op- portunities in education. In October new FTA members were welcomed and the club activities were outlined. Mr. Ralph Virts, Dean of Boys, spoke to the group in November concerning scholarships and the requirements of college. A dinner party was the December meeting at the sponsors home. Mr. Neil Lantz, one of Central ' s student teachers, spoke on Becoming A Teacher at the Jan- uary meeting. Mrs. Rosza Tonkel, former Central teacher, spoke on Over- tones in February. The play Me, Teacher? was presented at the March meeting,- and in April, FTA attended the state con- vention at Butler University, Indianapolis.

Claudia McKinney ac- companies at the piano. to school concerts, programs. Many concerts were given by the choir this year. Here, the Centra la ires are backing John Arnold in a song. To train students in singing so that the students may con- tinue singing after high school, whether the student is college bound or not, and to enrich the cultural like of the student so that he might appreciate all types of good music is the objective Mr. William Wetzel, choir director, tries to obtain. A sacred contata, The Holy City by Alfred Gaulm, is one of the many performances the choir made. The cantata was sung February 19 at the Third Presbyterian Church. Other events at which the choir sang were evening concerts, morning concerts, Christmas Basket Program, Easter program, Back-to- School-Night, Adams School, PTA, Christmas Caroling at Lin- coln Life, Baccalaureate program, and the dedication of the new Goodwill Building. The choir takes an important place in Central ' s activities. Without the choir, our programs would not be as sacred nor would the students be as attentive as they are now. Thus, another important factor of Central is drawn out. The officers of the Choir for the 1960 school year were Deloris Evans, president; John Arnold, vice-president; Janet Miller, secretary, and Diann Scott, treasurer. Modern Music Masters is a nation-wide organization with student chapters in many high schools throughout the country. It serves as an honorary society to recognize and encourage outstanding students within the music department and to func- tion as a service club within the instrumental music department. This year ' s activities included the annual Christmas party, sponsorship of the NISBOVA Piano, Vocal, and String District Contest in January, informal initiation, and the formal initia- tion of pledges held jointly with North Side ' s Instrumentalist Club each spring. The officers for the January semester of MMM are Mel Busse, president; Richard Wever, vice-president; Joyce Mar- quart, secretary, Mike Lykins, treasurer; and Betsie Williamson, historian.

Representa- tives are elected by homerooms and attend meetings on al- ternate Mondays. The Council discusses problems of students, teachers, and school. Through a student ' s participation in such an activity, his citizenship, acedemic achievement, and school spirit are enhanced. The main project of Student Council this year was the organ fund. The Council raised a majority of the money used to pur- chase the new organ for the Music Department. Other projects included a dance, Christmas Basket Program, homeroom dis- cussions on conduct and dances, and providing ushers at pep sessions and games. Harold Hopkins, president; Norm Engelbrecht, vice-president; Carolyn Lange, secretary; Tom Cox, sergeant-at-arm ; Mr. Richard Horstmeyer, adviser,- and the members did a commend- able job in leading the club through the past year. Student Council strives to practice the ideals and techniques of democracy and to foster a spirit of cooperation between student and teacher. The purpose of the club is to improve Central High School by stimulating students to improve them- selves. Student Council helped needy families again.

However, indoors they worked just as hard for the concerts. The Sound of Music, Top Hat, and many other pieces of music mad e students cheer for more in different school activities. The wonderful sound of music is heard when the band per- forms at football games, basketball games, student concerts, evening concerts, grade school concerts, and parades.

Tigerland in the ' 20 ' s was the theme of this pep session, which is given every year in honor of the achievements of the Lettermen. Candy rewards accompanied by a short rhyme or verse, are presented to all the lettermen, the coaches, and the Booster Club sponsors by the Boosters. Mr. J. T. McCory and Mrs. Patricia Martone Booster Club ' s new spdnsors, received the loudest ovation when they did the Charleston to receive their candy. The lettermen also did the Charleston and stunts such as playing basketball with a goofy ball for their candy. The skits took the students back 40 years to life in the Tigerland of the ' 20 ' s. Bona Natalia, the theme of the annual Booster Banquet was another special event. This occasion was graced by the appearance of the Italian Santa Claus, Bsfana, portrayed by Miss Margaret Schumann. Other events during the year included a dance, sale of sweatshirts, and making signs of the support of the Tigers. However, throughout the year, the club officers, Elizabeth Arnold, Carolyn Lange, and Josephine Petrie, president, sec- retary, and assistant secretary, respectively, supervised the club in carrying out its major responsibility — that o f selling concessions at home games, and the promotion of student participation in school activities.

Every third Wednesday of the month, GAA had its meeting. The girls discussed the next activity, and in March, began to discuss plans for the annual May banquet. At the banquet, trophies and other awards were given. The officers for next year were announced. There were eight activities. These activities included swim- ming, volleyball, kinball, basketball, tumbling, square dancing, tap dancing, and Softball. A girl could earn 100 points if she came out for six nights and met the requirements or made the team. For time and energy spent in earning the points, a girl can earn numerals, a plain letter, a special letter, a sweater, or a chevron.

It is also instru- mental in breaking the monotony of brain work. Students and teachers alike participate in these Friday morning sessions. Skits were eliminated in many of the pep sessions this year to conserve time. The number of pep sessions was also reduced and proved a wise move. Ben-Gee, the first pep session of the year, depicted the famous chariot race from Ben-Hur. The Valentine pep ses- sion took students back to the days of the twenties when everyone did the Charleston.

Prior to these sessions are four supervised practice sessions. The reserve cheerleaders who were chosen for the 1960- 1961 school year are Nancy Tieman, Linda Englebrecht, Betty Jo Lee, Phil Gilbert, and Lyle Neaman.

Organized to further good sportsmanship in inter-school activities, the club has existed for six years. The Lettermen sponsored the sale of varsity basketball team pictures, both in color and in black and white. They played a major role in beautifying Central ' s lawn. Gorgeous flowers, shrubbery, and other beautifying agents were planted in front of the school. March 24, Lettermen sponsored their annual dance. There was an air of excitement as the basketball tourna- ment had just been completed. Central High School in aluminum letters was placed on the North and South entrances of the west building. This was one of the many campaigns for school betterment conducted by the Letter- men. Serving the club for the past year as president was Mike Havert. Vice-President was Bob Hampton.

As it turned out the Bengals won the two expected plus one for good measure. After losing nearly everyone from last year ' s top-flight city championship squad which rang up a very impressive 7—1 record, no one expected the Tigers to be very tough again. However, they certainly weren ' t pushovers, either. They re- vealed this when they battled a strong New Haven team, which was to go on and win all but one game on its schedule, to a scoreless tie in the Jamboree. The Tiger wins this season were over Concordia, South Side, and Indianapolis Crispus Attucks. The losses were to Marion, Elkhart, Central Catholic, Richmond, and Muncie Cen- tral.

Central won by a score of 18-7, While the varsity didn ' t do badly, the freshmen and reserve football teams could only muster a total of three wins between them in ten starts. Coach Banet ' s reserve squad finished the campaign with a record of one win against four losses. Actually, which the record doesn ' t reveal, the junior Bengals did quite well. Three of their four losses were only dropped by a total of only four- teen points. They lost to Bishop Leurs, 6—0; North Side, 6—0; and South Side, 9—7. The only big loss was to a powerful Central Catholic combine, 26—6. Their only win came at the expense of Elmhurst, 13—6. The freshman team, coached by Bob Dille, didn ' t fare too badly at all. The little Tigers compiled an overall record of two wins against two losses, and a tie. They lost to Bishop Leurs, 7—0; beat Central Catholic, 18 —7; tied Concordia, 12—12; downed South Side, 12—7,- and lost to New Haven, 27-6.

King had to pull out of the race because of fatigue, thus ruining Central ' s hopes for the title Victims of the Tiger Harrier ' s attack were Elkhart, 23—39, Central Catholic, 15-43; South Side, 27-28; Elmhurst, 22-37; Bluffton, 17-44; Concordia, 15-50; Kokomo, 34-50; New Haven, 26-30; North Side, 19-37; Central Catholic 15-50; Bishop Leurs, 15—50.

But Herb Banet wasn ' t conceding anything. He built a City Championship squad around J. C. Lapsley and Ben Lynch and proceeded on to a fine season ' s mark of 20 wins against 4 losses; one of the best overall marks in the school ' s history. Although their play during the year was a little ragged at times, the Tigers were still rough, and were among the state ' s elite corps during most of the year. Lapsley topped his team- mates for scoring honors with 310 points in 19 games for a 16.79 average. J. C. finished third in the city scoring race behind two Concordia snipers and probably would have finished second had he not sat out the season ' s finale against Central Catholic because of an ankle injury. Lapsley got plenty of able-bodied assistance from Big Ben Lynch, who finished the city ' s fourth highest scorer with a 14.63 average; and Ray Thompson, eighth in the city race with an 11.75 average. In the statistics department the Ben- gals averaged 63 points per game; but they held a defensive average of only 51 points a game, a phase of basketball many many teams forget to practice. Willie Rozier and J. C. Beachem, the remainder of the start- ing five, also scored consistently with the former averaging 8.55 and the latter 7.05 per game.

Central ' s freshman basketball team under the leadership of Coach Bob Dille wound up the 1960-61 campaign with a spotless 15—0 record. They mowed down most of their com- petition by about 25—30 points. They defeated Northwood, Bishop Leurs (2), Central Catholic (2), New Haven (2), Elm- hurst (2), South Side (2), Concordia, Bluffton, Lakeside, and Kekionga. In addition to these victories, the Baby Blue also copped the Freshman Tourney. Reserve coach Bob Armstrong ' s club also had an impres- sive season as they wound up the campaign with a 65—35 win over the Central Catholic Irish. The Junior Bengals blotted slate was the result of three two-point losses, an eleven-point loss and a five-point setback. The tw6-poinfers were at the hands of the Crispus Attucks, South Side, and Elkhart. The eleven-point deficit was to South Bend Central ' s Bears 46-35. The other loss was to Central Catholic. The Bengal ' s 13 vic- tories were over such opponents as Richmond, North Side (2), Concordia (2), Marion, Elmhurst, Elwood, Auburn, South Side (2), Central Catholic (2), Anderson, Peru, and Elkhart. The three mainstays of this year ' s Junior Blue were Rodney Hay- wood, Cletus Edmonds, and Archie Smith. TOP BELOW: With a perfect season, the freshman team pose. Left to right: Cress, Griffin. N.

In the public schools ' triangular meet the Blue fell to third place, behind North and South in that order. The Blue bounced back to third place in the North Side Relays. The Blue then defeated Elmhurst by a 69—45 score and took sixth place in the Kokomo Relays. The Tigers lost both of their last two meets, to South Side, 70—39, and to Elkhart, 83—36. The Tigers placed fourth in the sectional and qualified in five events for the regional. The qualifiers were T. C. Williams, J. C. Lapsley, Henry King, and Jim Goodwin.

Thus, behind every Tiger team is an equally great coach. Cen- tral has more than her share of great coaches. Herb Banet, dean of city high school mentors, has compiled an outstanding varsity basketball record; Bob Dr lie ' s freshman teams have lost only five games in four years; Bob Armstrong has done an excellent job of preparing his reserve hardwood squads for the rough jump to varsity. Paul Bienz, himself once one of the best trackmen this country has ever seen, piloted his football squad to the city title in his first year, and this year, despite graduation losses, produced a good showing for his inexperienced gridders. Pete Williams has always come up with fine track and cross country squads, and Warren Eviston has done an excellent job as assistant in these sports. One other group which can ' t be forgotten is that of the student managers, Jack Lock, Bob Hampton, and Mike King. Hats off to hard-working behind-the-scenes men.

Jerry Betley, Dan Welker, and Juday Mac- Askill, right, find that portraying roles of characters in famous plays gives them a better understanding of literature. We like our work in the classroom when we prepare our lessons, recite our share, and ask questions about the unknown. We find fun in the classroom experience when we each contribute something to the life of the class. Each of us has his chance to recite in history, to demonstrate an algebraic theorem, to replace connecting rods. When we accept such a challenge and do the job well, we gain pride in achievement — the greatest fun in school life. At Central students may reach the very height of their abilities. Through able guidance, the interest of the stu- dent is met and channeled into the proper course. Youth of today can be greatly rewarded only after many hours of intense studying, with valuable knowledge and better preparation for the future. for life. mam fi X X + 3 = 7 is one of many problems given to pupils in Mr. Geyer ' s algebra classes.

There is nothing like a good old- fashioned math problem to start the wheels rolling. Everyone has taken mathematics sometime during his school life. Mathe- matics is essential to good daily living. It gives students basic knowledge necessary for the ordinary affairs of their daily lives. The math courses at Central include general mathematics, algebra, geometry, college algebra, and trigonometry. These subjects build the firm foundation essential to future study and offer an opportunity to those who would choose other competent fields in this modern age. School, city, and state math contests give students in the math department an oppor- tunity to test their acquired knowledge.

What we learn from the past has double significance when traced beneath the present. Many of the branches of social science can be applied, and just as many are meant for the future scholar. History is in the mak- ing, and it is a must to know where we have been to know where we are going. In Social Studies Department, a student forms ideas and opinions about present economic, politi cal, and social prob- lems so that he can become a future leader in our country. With such training Central becomes a school in a city of a state in a country forced to recognize its place in the world. Central ' s social studies include United States history, world history, sociology, government, and economics. In these stud- ies, students are made aware of the everyday problems in modern life, learn of the full significance of freedom, and realize that this freedom must be preserved.

BELOW: The term English is broad and confusing because it includes so many phases of instruction. Danny Gater and Verna Johnson learn that spelling can often be confusing. Assignments, assignments, and more assignments — seems like all these teachers want to do is make assignments. Here, Mrs. Chester checks with Reba Shell to be sure she has her assignment in. Reading writin ' just English not only pertains to literature and grammar, but also to a sound knowledge of vocabulary. Joe Ridley and Louise Brooks consult the authority ' ' with a question concerning a vocabulary assignment. English instruction at Central provides a broad background in the elements of good literature. Class discussions, as Miss Jackson points out, play an important role in such instruction. m mf i I have no words; my voice is my sword . . . English in- struction at Central provides a broad background in the elements of self-expression and appreciation of good litera- ture. English really means grammar, composition, oral expres- sion, forms of social usage, and other lessons in how to convey one person ' s thoughts to another. English not only pertains to literature, spelling, and gram- mar, but also to a better understanding of people, places, and opinions. English is many things — speaking, writing, reading, understanding great writers, and grasping philosophy of good living. It gives one an opportunity to meet great writers and to study their words of wisdom, words which blazed the trail of our civilizations. On the practical side, grammar is taught to give a greater power of expression. From books we gain enjoyment and a functional understanding of life. A combination of these adds up to satisfaction of effective expression. We are a little closer to being a well-rounded person when we possess appreciation for literature, a knowledge of gram- mar, and a developed writing skill. fc With a nose for news, students in Mr. Woodring ' s English dosses find tha journalism can be en|oyable as well as basic knowledge in high school. part of modern English.

Comment allez-vous? or How are you? Students at Central learn that the study of foreign languages de- velops perservance and exactness in daily habits which make for better living. Nearly all colleges require two years of a foreign lan- guage for entrance. Foreign languages are not only useful for world travelers, but they give students insight into other people ' s way of life and their customs through the study of their everyday speech and the reading of their literature. Spanish is the newest language taught at Central. Latin is the oldest and one of the most often taken by students. French has been taught here for thirty years. Nominative, then genitive, then dative. Mike Himes writes the dative singul. of totius in his Latin class for a check quiz on the board. Sometimes it ' s serious, sometimes it ' s funny.

A knowledge of filing often helps in finding an office job. 92 Up, down, loop, and around we go! So it goes in shorthand. In the business rooms, the hopeful secretaries of tomorrow ' s busi- ness world learn to take dictation, translate, and type the notes into correct letter form. They also learn how to file, how to dress, and how to conduct themselves in an office. The three courses in the business department are stenographic, clerical, and general. The business department gives general in- formation for daily life, besides the training for specific jobs. Stu- dents may learn which type of work they are best suited for and which type of work they are likely to succeed in. The purpose of the stenographic branch is to place emphasis on shorthand and typewriting, which trains secretaries for particu- lar jobs. The clerical branch works mostly with general office work, which includes particular skill in typewriting, filing, business arithmetic, and general office procedures. They do not take short- hand. The general course especially trains students on how to meet people, how to sell, and how to get along with people behind the counter. Graduates find that business education is helpful and often vital in the securing of a desirable position. for Business courses. Oh for the patience of a business teacher!

In Mr. Yage James Pliett, and Sherman Griggs work on Industrial trades are learned in fine shops. Handling tools is an art for our skilled shop boys. They learn much in the field of automation by utilizing the shop laboratories and classes which are here to give them the best in mechanical education. Modern shop laboratories with the latest up-to-date equipment and skilled and educated instructors train their boys with all the mechanical background needed. The various phases of the industrial arts courses are auto, machine, welding, elec- tricity, drafting, and wood working. A student receives a vast and immeasurable supply of instruction and information which enables him to hold a specialized job in any of the related fields. Industrial Arts offers a vocational- educational program which enables the student to specialize in any one field and take as much as three hours a day of one subject. Central has the largest complete field of Industrial Arts of any high school in the Fort Wayne area. The boys get a touch of what the work will be like when they graduate and move into advanced fields. The band saw is an important machine used in wood shop. Stephe Jones works with it in his freshman shop class. Shop gives specific training for employment in trades, industry, and business. Joe Vachon works on architectural drawing. Industrial Arts teacher, Mr. Schackelford, instructs Jack Ragon, Bob Hampton, Nathaniel Lindsey, and Leroy Gleason how to thread a stud. A course in drafting often proves invaluable to boys looking for a job after graduation. Robert Mann uses modeling clay to build a model. Industrial Arts build toward more appreciation of the materials and prod- ucts of industry. Here, Dave Channel experiments on bead welding. Welding, electricity, auto promote industry. While Mike Blaising is finishing off a rack, Donald Milton is sanding down and varnishing a nicknack shelf in their wood shop class. Many of Fort Wayne ' s mechanics have graduated from Cerrtral ' s auto shop. Lloyd Hardy, a future mechanic, makes a brake ad- justment. Ungraded students can work at their own rate. Pupils in the ungraded rooms may go as far as they wish or are able to go. Since these pupils seem to have the most difficulty in reading and math, much remedial work is given in these fields. In addition students may take citizenship, health, and shop. Students who have such difficulty, in math and science for example, are given the opportunity to earn their diplomas at their own rate of learning. If they stay in school and their progress seems to warrant it, they are placed in regular classes. Many earn their diplomas. As in all classes, poor attendance and emotional instability are sometimes limiting factors to the pupil. These special classes offer helpfulness and understanding to aid pupils to progress in their school work.

In Science students learn about With odors of sulfur one day and broken test tubes the next, Central ' s science students keep themselves busy gather- ing experimental facts and figures. Science courses have a two-fold purpose — to reveal as much factual information as possible to students and to help them develop scientific attitudes and methods. The student is able to appreciate the world and his place in it if he under- stands something about it. In this age when ideas and methods are outmoded shortly after they are initiated, a need exists for men and women who can do original thinking and who have a broad back- ground to follow through on their ideas. Central ' s department of science includes courses in physics, chemistry, biology, physical geography, and a course in general science given to each student as a freshman. Several of the science classes sponsor clubs which have the general purpose of providing a time, place, and oppor- tunity for interested students to work on projects and have fun with those who share a common interest. Science is the activity whereby man gains the control of nature. Mr. Horstmeyer dem- onstrates this in chemistry class. ABOVE: Over hills and plateaus goes the physical geography class.

An appreciation and understanding of music was shown when the Band and Choir had their concerts and participated in special school events. A note of cheer was put into the hearts of basketball, foot- ball, and concert audiences this year by Central ' s band. The band furnished music for the half-time show and parades, also. Leadership, co-operation, ability, and enjoyment are offered to those members interested in band work. Freshmen and be- ginning band are a part of the success of the band, for these beginners are the future band members. The choir also has its beginning members in the training choir, out of which certain members are chosen to go on to concert choir at the end of the semester. Students join the music department because they are interesed in music and its related fields. Bless this House, oh Lord, we pray. Keep it safe by night and day . . The concert Choir makes preparation for the annual Thanksgiving progn Football games, concerts, and assemblies all take lots of practice for the band. Mr. Dare directs the band during rehearsal for a coming concert. Health and safety Health and safety education is designed to instruct and stimulate youth so that they may conserve, improve, and protect their health. Visual aids, movies, charts, dummies, and actual products are employed in the procedure of the health program. The study of this subject is necessary in maintaining good health and in assuring a longer life in the home and surrounding community. Pupils acquire new habits and learn safety measures to enrich their lives. Central ' s health program is one that prepares students for physical and mental happiness. All students enroll in health classes. Occasionally they are so inspired that their individual interests turn to medicine and the idea of helping the needy. By a program of exercise and sports, the Physical Edu- cation Department builds muscle tone and coordination. Gym classes offer students a change from the regular classroom routine by working off excess energy, playing basketball, or jumping rope.

As Seniors sold them tickets to the swimming pool and Juniors directed them to the elevator, Freshmen overcame such handicaps and came out of that small world of their own and came into an even newer course with foreign lan- guages and eagerly joined activities open to freshmen. Although their new curriculum seemed closed to upperclass- men, the Frosh were seen to function as true Centralites in pep sessions and many other school activities. The program, under the supervision of Miss Emma Adams and all the freshman teachers, has tried to show each person his interests and abilities so that a more specialized plan may be chosen by the individual throughout his high school year. Miss Connie Standish, a newcomer to the Frosh program, spends her day teaching orientation. Besides teaching history, Mr. Dille also teaches orientation. Mr. William Watson spends part of his time as student counselor working with freshmen. Mr. George Tricolas works full time as an orientation teacher.

Our modern house- wife has to be a nurse, chef, bookkeeper, grocer, seamstress, and maid. To sum it up, she must be chief cook and bottle washer — and manager too. How to live at home is always in consideration, a nd our school helps to meet this problem. Because Central ' s girls will spend most of their lives in the home, some of the school day for the home economics student is devoted to homemaking. Some of the phases of the home economics course are child care, family relations, home management, sewing, and food preparation. This course helps pupils in personal growth and development. It contributes to the objectives of all education through the problems primarily concerned with the home and family living. New sewing machines, a modern, up-to-date kitchen, and the very best literature are employed to give the very best possible home economics education. This department contrib- utes to society a healthier, happier, and more responsible individual. ABOVE LEFT: Carol Hill gives an impromptu during Speech class Deal makes a recording of it.

K The Speech students learn fluency and confidence, Quiet or the boom will be lowered! is a familiar cry in Mr. James McFadden ' s speech classes. Once in a while when the class is extra enthusiastic, Mr. McFadden will lower the boom and then . . . talk at your risk. Speech is a very in- teresting course. There are a number of fields in which to major. An ever increasing knowledge of public speaking helps a student learn to speak fluently and confidently. Experience may be gained by speaking in front of the class and appear- ing on local radio and television programs designed for edu- cational purposes. Speech meets are attended by the students to put them at ease in front of a strange audience. Students find that speech also helps them in other classes. They are not afraid to volun, teer to recite in class. Students learn how to pronounce words anal learn how to correctly interpret them. They find it gives them the precise understanding they need for correct meaning of phrases. These students also work on posture to make them more sure of themselves, and to have better communication with the audience. Junior Division added to Central ' s program. In the autumn of 1960, Central added into its hugh house 324 junior high students from Harmar School. These students now occupy 16 classrooms and are taught by 16 reliable teachers here at Central. Members of the Central Junior Di- vision administration staff are the principal, Mr. Roger Pfeiffer and the secretary, Viola Doughtery. Seventh grade teachers are Mr. Shriner, Miss Ford, Mrs. Campbell, and Mrs. Shearer. Teaching the eighth grade are Mr. Bruner, Miss Godfrey, Miss Strain, Mr. Byerly, and Mr. Downey. These teachers teach at other schools besides the junior high, Mr. Eviston, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Prendle, Mr. Alvis, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Dare. Bringing the junior high to Central has been considered by top administrative officials long ago. The change was needed because the enrollment at Harmat exceeded the housing available for over 1000 students. So far, as they travel between the buildings, students have adjusted reasonably well to attending high school. In fact, Mr. Pfeiffer has noted a great change for the better in the students ' attitudes and in their scholastic averages.

Parents, teachers, and students enjoyed themselves at the PTA family, potluck, Oc- tober 6. Other highlights of the year were Back-to-School-Night, in which the parents sat in the seats of their sons and daughters; Fall Festival; Fou Fall Festival; Fouder ' s Day Observance, honoring past presi- dents; Dad ' s Night; Teacher Appreciation; and the Parent Education meetings. The parent education theme was Continuing the Inside Story. It started with the Music Department, then Home Economics, Business, Social Studies, and last of all, the Shop Courses.

' Lawrence Woodward, Frank Carroll, Raymond Meshberger, and Kenneth Klerner, custodians, pose before the camera after a hard day ' s work. Have you ever wondered how the building is kept so clean? How the halls get swept between the passing bells? Well, we owe this and more to the custodians. They keep our building looking spic-and-span, night and day so that we can enjoy being here. Every speck of paper you throw down in the halls or in the classrooms means just that much more the janitors have to do to keep Central looking its best. Central has a pleasant chow line as one could hope to find with tasty food daily to match the broad, kind smiles that serve it. The cooks work hard from seven a.m. until in the afternoon. This year the cafeteria staff kept up very well with both junior high and high school students. TOP BELOW: The cooks who serve in the cafeteria every -school day are Beatrice Wagner, Virginia Myers, Ellen Murphy, Ruah Myers, Margarete Markless, and Fleeta Howard. BOTTOM BELOW: Busy Days are everyday for the ladies who cook the food for our students. They are Leora Mesh- berger, H.ldigarde Schaenemann, Helen Mielke, Irene Stucky, and Opal m Id fir € «f I !S ' P!;f All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But secretaries Evelyn and Mickie find that decorating the office Christmas tree relieves tension. Miss Emma Adams, Girls ' Dean, is for Central all the way; her mannerisms reveal this to all who know her. Dean of Boys, Mr. Ralph Virts, has the respect and admiration of not only boys but girls as Is something on you r mind No matter where you w ere at bothering you? Then see Mr. the wrong time, Mrs. Mary William Watson, couns. lor he Watson, attendance office r, will understands teenagers. find out. Running a school takes lots of busy people. Running the official business of a large building in a down- town section of a city of 160,000 people and trying to tackle the problems of over 1,400 teen-agers keep Central ' s ad- ministrative officials busy. Before everything else to the ad- ministration comes the duty of educating Fort Wayne ' s young people. Building better schools, providing better faculties, and trying to solve the ever-increasing problems of high school drop-outs create a great problem for Superintendent of Schools A. T. Lindley. Central ' s principal, Paul Spuller, also has a great task to perform as he keeps a watchful eye on the budget, tri es to keep all school organizations running smoothly, and helps students solve their problems. All of these tasks he accom- plishes while keeping the welfare of every Centralite at heart. Never underestimate the ability of the office secretaries. For it is they who do most of the typing, ditto tickets for plays or dances, type the programs, do the filing, and do other little jobs. These services add up to hard work, but they are willing and able. So vital are our secretaries, Mickie and Evelyn. No matter how busy they may be, Central ' s administrative officials have one thing in mind — the welfare of each and every student. Winifred Ormerod, school urer, is responsible for and s track of all the school ' s Responsible for helping arrange athletic schedules and athletic sales is Mr. Edward Schlecht, athletic director. Miss Adams looks disturbed about something, but who wouldn ' t be after taking a look at Santa. Even Mrs. Martone looks scared of him. UPPER RIGHT: Birthdays are so much fun, even if there are a few gray hairs showing. The office staff had a good time at Mickie ' s party. LOWER RIGHT: Checking students ' programs is just one of the many thank- less jobs done by Mrs. Evelyn Crandall and Mrs. Mildred Keuneke. school secretaries. Mr. Aaron T. Lindley is a sincere man who has boosted the stature of the city schools very much as superintendent. Mr. Lindley obtained his B.A. at Earlham College and his M.S. from Butler University. Mr. Paul Spuller is a man whom Centralites regard not only as a friend, but also as a truly outstanding principal. Mr. Spuller has attended several schools of higher learning. Among them are Ball State, Indiana University, and Northwestern University. lp? 1 WA f)|Nr ' tt - mil ,1 - fin__ ■■- - The photographer ' s pleas for Rick Butler, above, to smile ill. Underclass pictures bri are older. Summertime back to students the living is easy tainly is an appropriate saying for these hard-working Centn ites, right, especially during lunch period. Squeezed between the walls of Central are many stu- dents. If only the halls could talk, they would tell us much about the joys and sorrows of thousands who have en- tered and left Central. Here we are all just one big happy family, learning together, laughing together, and crying together. Of 1400 pupils, some feel well at home,- others are still bewildered. But ell know that Central offers both opportunity and friendship. These, the youth of Central, represent either the fresh- men, sophomore, junior, or senior class. Teenagers must carry a great load of responsibility. They must continue to adjust and advance as they grow older. In many instances they set the pace followed by hundreds. No, we ' ll never trade.

Success is a word with which the Senior Class is famil- iar. Only through hard work and long hours has such success been possible. The seniors this year have certainly measured up to the scholastic standard of previous classes and have left a high goal for other classes to try to sur- pass. Perhaps the biggest success of the past school year was the Senior Banquet, La mer du temps or The Sea of Time. At the banquet, the wills and class prophecies of each senior were read. Decorations was the main factor contributing to the success of the Senior Dance, Pent- house Serenade. A beautiful setting in a New York sky- line did the job. Then there was the Senior Play. Spectators were thrilled at the superb performance of The Man Who Came to Dinner. The cast consisted of seniors who were willing to sacrifice many evening hours for practice. The busy schedule of the seniors continued as they pre- pared for two bus trips to out-of-town games. The first was a football trip to Penn Township. Once basketball season had begun, the seniors followed a familiar itin- erary to South Bend Central. Another phase of the seniors well-rounded activated schedule was the purchase of the new Tiger suit for Ben- gie. The lively Tiger was effectively robed to help boost school spirit. A great campaign by top-flight competitors was the onset of the elections of superb class officers. Gordon Bainbridge, Don O ' Brien, and Elizabeth Arnold survived and did an excellent job as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. What active people Throughout their four years at Central the Senior Class has compiled a number of memorable and outstanding achievements. It was the first freshman class in 10 years to be represented by officers. They pushed the sale of Bengie sweatshirts with a great and spirited force. My Blue Heaven was declared a huge success and their jun- ior prom. Mr. George Tricholas and Miss Connie Standish, class advisers are known for their ability to suggest many fresh and original ideas. With their help, the seniors have lived up to these characteristics also. The Senior Class was great; their accomplishments were many,- their future looks bright. For the past four years Senior Advisers Mr. George Tricolas and Miss Connie Standish have guided their class through many projects. Members of the four-year honor roll smile after having been informed of their scholas- tic achievement.

From the general theme, Aurora Borealis, the Juniors came up with this fascinating name. The Junior Play started at a slow pace but ended up as a successful affair for the school as well as the Junior Class. Gidget was the name. The play was presented before a full house. For the first time in many years, the cast consisted en- tirely of Juniors. The Junior Play and the Junior Prom were the two main events of the Junior Class this year. Helping to bear the bur- den of the tasks were the devoted class advisers, Mrs. Doris Sauerwein and Mr. John Baughman. The Juniors could de- pend upon them for guidance, leadership and advice. The officers have done an excellent job in leading the class throughout their junior year. They sacrificed many hours to make the projects successful. Successful they were, too, as can be confirmed by any of those who attended them. John Roscoe, Junior watch Sandy Roberts ckle a proble lident, and Wally Christ, president, n — opening an umbrella.

Instead, they served as an auxilliary group to the PTA with the Fall Festival. The Sophomores were in charge of the Festival Queen Contest. For the benefit of academic-concerned pupils, the Sopho- more Class sponsored a drive to stimulate sophomores to take the nation-wide scholastic test. Other projects included Apple for the Teacher Day, a school spirit assembly, a Christmas Dance, Candy Cane Caper, the Elkhart basketball trip, an after-school dance, and an alumnus assembly. This Sophomore Class has superbly fulfilled the purposes of the organization. Phyllis Mays, Sophomore class secretary, and Mike Himes, vice-president, find some of class president Arthur Page ' s ideas rather amusing.

A capable trio of class officers was elected to contribute to this cause. Dave Gaskill was elected president; Jay Penndorf was elected vice-president; and Lee Mollison, secretary. The class project was the sale of Senior name cards. This was conducted successfully by volunteer com mittees. Activities included an Assembly on School Spirit in September, the Freshman Party, an Assembly on Citizenship, and the Fresh- man Tea Dance. The class has much potential and should go far in the future. Jay Penndorf, Freshman vice-president, Lee Mollison, secretary, and Dav Gaskill, president, meet to make plans for the frosh party.

Ideas change with time. The idea that we don ' t like school passed with the days of the hickory stick and the water bucket. The truth that most of us are happy, busily happy, must be recognized in this time of modern schools. Like school? Yes, we do. This Caldron has shown us why. But most of all, it ' s given us in words and pictures, the realization that The days of our youth are the days of our glory. Yes, our days at Central are coming to a close, and for many of us, our youth is being overshadowed by fleeting time; but the days of our youth will always hold a permanent place in our hearts. For, youth is a time of like which can never be re-lived. We, the youth of today, have seen its illusions, have experienced its aspirations, and have dreamed its dreams. Yes, Lord Byron, we heartily agree: The days of our youth are the days of our glory! -7 • .
