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.
