These years are the most important of our young lives. From adolescence, our teachers mold our bodies and our minds into young men and women who are capable and willing to accept the responsibilities of adulthood. Playful freshmen, who are on the threshold of knowledge, are turned into mature adults on the threshold of taking over a thriv- ing democracy in our modern world. Our school training is a valuable experience, for everyone must learn to give to a society such as ours before they can take from its riches. Central is the institution from which we receive our training, and it is to Central that we look for the concern and advice that we seek. Those so-called green freshmen are transformed into true-blue Centralites, members of a little community in itself. Yes, Centralites, it is you who make our school tick, and it is you who must drain the faculty of all the knowledge possible, for it is you who must take over the larger society which you will step into upon graduation. For this reason, we make our residence at Central for four years, a tenure of transformation, a period of readjustment, for it seems that overnight we lose our playfulness, and learn to accept the responsibilities of a growing world.

Centralites Study To Learn Putting all other ingredients of the typical school aside, we come to the most important topic of any institution of learning — studies. There would never have been, or for that matter never would be a school, were it not for having those books to learn from. We at Central strive for an education which is both needed and deserved, for after many hours of long work, a diploma is only a symbol of our toil. Studies come first at our school, with sports and other extra-curricular activities taking the back seat. At Central, we are fortunate to possess one of the finest faculties in the northern part of the state. We have excellent instructors who are well prepared to pass their knowledge on to us. That is why one who graduates from Central knows that his studying has been worthwhile, for studying is the only way a achieve a true education. Left: Ted Striverson prepares to weld some metal in hopes of finishing his project. Central has many fine industrial shop courses to offer vocational students. Right: These students are diligently studying their United States History assignments. This class was being taught by Mr. Dille, head basketball coach. Susan Schultz, Carol Scheurer, and Olga Borisow work intently on their typing assignments. Typing is a subject taken by many of the business students. Latin is one of the three foreign languages offered to Central Leann Cook and Jeanette Ambrose show that there are more students. These girls study hard for a coming test. important things to do in the cafeteria besides studying. Matman Willie Dodds moves for position against an op- ponent in one of the matches. The giapplers took the Sectionals in their second year of competition. Athletics Extremely Important Training Athletics are extremely important to a Central student. Not only can a school win statewide recognition for their athletic prowess, but the students also gain a personal satisfaction. Stu- dents support the athletic teams, and this combination of back- ing and skill are unbeatable. Central had many fine athletic teams during the year, and they were aided by the whole- hearted support of the students. Great sportsmanship was displayed by both groups. The gridiron season provided much excitement as the games were always close until the finish. Basketball season found the Tigers ranked tenth in the state, as well as taking the City Crown. The well-regarded Bengals posted an eleven game win which lasted until the Sectionals. With fabulous athletic teams, a school is respected and look- ed up to. Central displayed fine sportsmanship throughout the year, and they accepted defeat as well as victory. Central can be proud of its athletic program. Charles Black of South Bend Washington seems to think blowing Ernie Wash ' s socks down will prevent him from sinking another long jumper. i Walter Kyles gives the frosh a 56-15 lead with this shot as Jesse Scott and Leslie Howard maneuver for possible rebounding positions. Junior John Turner throws in two more points as Jim Clark of LaPorte trys to block the attempt. Harley Adams stalks his opponent in a match. He wrestled as a heavyweight. Curtis Booker works for a pin against a foe. Curtis took the Sectional crown in his division to pace the matmen. Free Periods For Studies Lunch period is a time to get nourishment for the rest of the school day and sociahze with friends. These freshmen girls seem to be en- joying their meal as well as their friendly talk. Where are the best places to do homework? Why certainly not at h ome. We have a study hail, library, and cafeteria where students can catch up on their assignments. One can get a pass from the study hail to visit the library to do research work. During the middle of the day, one can find homework papers flourishing on the lunch tables as Centralites prepare for their afternoon sessions. Our study hall seats were given new tops this year and it certainly made writing much easier, for the new tops were smooth. The library is continually getting new books for the students, and one who is lucky enough to have his home- work can read one of the older classics or one of the newer novels. There are also plenty of the latest magazines and news- papers to catch up with current events. Eating was the major past-time in the cafeteria, but swap- ping a few last tales or rumors was not uncommon. Home- work and food do not go together, but lunch period was an excellent time to catch up on back work, or participate in some extra-curricular activity during the free period. A few students went from the lunch room to band after eating. As band is only offered fifth period, some students took it for no credit during their free period. Students who go to the library during their free periods have the opportunity of making use of reference books. Here Leamond Miller uses a dictionary. Above: These students discuss the morning ' s activities over a hot meal in Central ' s cafe- teria. This is a time to release tension. Right: Preparing book reports for various classes require books, and Central ' s fine library has many of them. Lunch period is also a time for teachers to get together and discuss various topics. Here Mr. Fatzinger and Mr. Banet discuss certain problems of school. K M - m ' E HIVv- ' n i m ' ' ' . ' - [ l J mt[ M U 1 [oining Organizations Helpful Extra-curricular activity participation at Central offers a broad field of clubs and organizations to choose from. If one is good in a certain subject, he becomes eligible for a club dealing with that area of study. Athletics call on many students each year, and these people perform on the teams, as twirlers, in the band, and as cheer- leaders. Other students can join clubs connected with other school functions, such as publications and choir. Offices of these clubs give students responsibility, as well as offering a chance to become acquainted with new people. The clubs are often helpful, for students in subject clubs can learn more of their topics. Extra-curricular activities are also good because they give students a rest from the everyday study routine and formal school atmosphere. Joyce Ambrose and Joyce Chapman participate in a skit which the twirlers performed along with the band at a football game. The skit was a portrayal of rock and roll dancing for the half-time show. These members of Central ' s band march during a halftime performance at one of the home football games. The band practiced early every morning in preparation for the game. Faculty adviser John McCory aids three Booster Club members as they prepare a sign at the beginning of a week. The signs reminded the athletic squads to win. Julie Flory, Jeanne Slagle, Joyce Burroughs, Shirley Louie, Anita Ojeda, and Bill Miller are shown as they wore dunce caps to signify their initiation into Central ' s Math Club. No, Roy was not blown up in this particular experiment at the regular Phy-Chem meeting. A mistake by a photographer put these particular pictures together, but Mr. Horstmeyer had a good idea for an experiment. Marjorie Louie and Jeanne Dennis work diligently in order to have the decorations for the Prom ready. Shirley Love closes her eyes in a moment of happiness as Clyde Williams, president of the junior class, announces her as Queen of the 1965 Junior Prom. Carol Hampton and Connie Roberts, members of the court, stand near. The Junior Prom court consisted of Dorothy Tubbs, Debbie Littlejohn, Julie Flory, Wandra Page, Connie Roberts, Carol Hampton, crown-bearer Celesta Love, Queen Shirley Love, Carol Scheurer, Penny McBride, Donna Haggin, Susan Huffman, Sandra Mielke, and Leann Cook. The 1965 Junior Prom was entitled Some Enchanted Evening. Shirley Love Reigns at Prom Shirley Love was crowned queen of the 1965 Junior Prom, which was held on the night of May 1. Nate Miller accom- pained the queen. Queen Shirley ' s court consisted of Dorothy Tubbs, Debbie Littlejohn, Julie Flory, Wandra Page, Connie Roberts, Carol Hampton, Carol Scheurer, Penny McBride, Donna Haggin, Susan Huffman, Sandra Mielke, and Leann Cook. The setting for the Prom, which was entitled Some En- chanted Evening, consisted of a huge southern plantation home. The backdrop was the house with several large col- umns, and the grounds were scattered with trees and tables for the chaperones. The set was constructed by the members of the Junior Class. The couples danced to the music of Guy Zimmerman and his Maestros until midnight, and then went to the after-prom party, which was held at the Hobby Ranch House. The Upsetters then provided the music. Sponsors of the class were Mrs. Carolyn Wadlington and Mr. David Griggs. Holiday Programs Show Reverence special assemblies gave Central students a chance to show rev- erence, as well as a chance to learn. The three major programs were the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter ceremonies. Con- certs given by Central ' s choir and band as well as the North Central College Choir and Cal Bos tic gave the students a chance to relax and enjoy good music. Giving thanks for a precious home life was expressed at the Thanksgiving program. The Christmas program gave Centralites a chance to show their care for the less fortunate as they donated many baskets of food for the poor. The Easter program com- memorated the resurrection of Christ. The special assemblies always brought forth a message to be learned by Centralites. The concerts gave students a chance to forget the hustle bustle of homework for a while and learn to relax. The holiday programs had an entirely different purpose, as students took time from class to show reverence. Dressed as a Pilgrim, Carlos Ingram reads his speech in the Thanksgiving Program as senior Ernest Calland listens intently. Shepherds Dexter McCormick, Scott Dingman, and Willie Gilbert cast their eyes upon the heavenly angel, portrayed by Sarah Brown in this scene at Christmas. Mr. McCory took a turn at playing the drums at one of the concerts to provide background music for senior Richard Harris. Clyde Williams accepts the tiger on behalf of his class to show that the seniors turned in the most cans. The tiger was presented at the Christmas program by Student Council president Richard Harris. Paul Warren Allen, director of the North Central College Choir introduces the next number at a special concert given by that group for Central students. Concerts Give Students Good Chance To Relax Marc Pape, Jeanne Dennis, Steve Cannaday, Tommy Brown, Joyce Bur- roughs, Ernest Calland, Phil Pearson, and Carlos Ingram took part in this scene at the Thanksgiving Day presentation. Mr. Keith Morphew directs the band in a num- ber at one of the student concerts. The choir and the band participated in each concert. IS Seniors Have Reception Central ' s graduating class of 1966 held their annual recep- tion in January. This formal affair gave the seniors the oppor- tunity to get together and discuss past, present, and future ideas and problems. It also offered a chance for the parents of the students to get together and talk over various topics concerning their children. A reception line gave the parents a chance to meet the cap- able teachers who had guided their son or daughter through the four years at Central. The event was a success, with re- freshments being ser ' ed by the junior class. Those who stood at the door to meet the guests were the senior class officers, class sponsors, homeroom teachers, and other faculty members. Replacing the Senior Banquet a few years ago, the Senior Reception has now developed into a much looked forward to social event at Central. The cafeteria was decorated for the event, and entertainment was offered to those attending. Senior Richard Harris provided the entertainment for the affair •with singing. He was accompanied by Jane Van der Smissen. Mr. George Tricolas, Central ' s guidance co-ordina- tor, introduces a parent to another teacher. Mr. Robert Dille and Miss Sis Arnold are shown as they re- ceive parents of Central seniors at the Senior Reception. Seniors Frolic At Dance Central ' s graduating class of 1965 held their annual Sen- ior dance near the close of their last year at Central. The theme chosen for the affair was Stairway to the Stars . The setting included a staircase with the four high school years lettered on it. This was one of the last social functions for the class, and one of the last times the class was together. Diligent work by the Seniors made the occasion a success. The officers who supervised in the construction of the setting and other aspects of the dance were Candy Roberts, president, Larry McDonnell, Vice-president, and Susan Shepler, secre- tary. Teachers sponsoring the class through it ' s last year were Miss Leona Plumanns and Mr. Robert Dornte. The semi-formal affair lasted until 11:30 Refreshments were prepared and served by girls from the Junior class. Linda Koehl, Mike Grable, Steve Bodkin, and Charlene Heyne- man pause to refresh themselves at the Senior Dance.

Most Fridays are highlighted by a dance sponsored by some organization here at school. Featuring live bands, the dances attracted huge crowds after ball games. On nights when the dance was the only school function, the crowds were even larger. Centralites enjoyed the excitement of being with friends at a dance, whether it was the Up setters, the Barons, or Lulu and the Supremes providing the entertainment. Teachers and parents were chaperones for the dances, while the students provided entertainment, refreshments, and good wholesome fun. Friday nights wouldn ' t be the same if the cafeteria wasn ' t bustling with the excitement of a dance after a game. Ten- sions of athletic events were lost in a maze at the dances. Chaperoning at the Spotlight Dance, ' Return to the 3 R ' s, ' are Mrs. Schoonover, Mr. and Mrs. Hamptom, and Mrs. Imbody. HI B H 1 i I V -w E H n Hi Top; Ernest Calland and Kay Watson and other couples enjoy a slow number at ' Dancin ' Fever ' , spon- sored by the Band.

M H V- ' H !y Darlene Tielker Crowned Queen Darlene Tielker was named queen of the 1965 Poor Man ' s Prom, held in Central ' s cafeteria. Basketball mentor Robert Roberta Dille crowned the queen. Carol Hampton and Jim Johnson introduced the beauties ' , colorfully ar- rayed in everything from combat boots to noodle hair. Augustus Schoonover, John McCory, and William Wetzel compiled a combo called the Flintstones , and they provided the entrance marches. Miss Tielker ' s court consisted of Jim Whitt, Louie Imbody, Ron Fields, Ernie Wash, Steve Price, Marzine Moore, Ralph Charlton, Bill Harper, Leonard Hair- ston, Tom Clancy, and Charles VanPelt. The dance was sponsored by the publications staff, and they furnished most of the outfits and made the arrangements for the gala affair.

He received the award for being an outstanding graduate. Scholars received well deserved acclaim at the Scholarship Banquet, held near the end of the school year. To attend the Ban- quet, a Central student must have made the six weeks honor roll or the Dean ' s List. Those who received special recognition were the members of the Four Year Honor Roll. Leadership and scholarship were characteristics of many of the attendants. Mr. Joseph Tucker, a Central graduate, was the main speaker for the affair. He expressed the value of education to the future world leaders. After his talk, principal Paul Spuller presented the Outstanding Alumni award to Mr. Tucker. The Scholarship Banquet replaced the National Honor Society at Central several years ago, and now it is an event to which every student would like to go. It puts an emphasis on the educational side of school. The salutatorian and valedictorian of the gradu- ating class held seats of honor at the treasured event. The Scholarship Banquet was attended by many parents, students, and teachers last spring. It is an annual affair to honor any student who has been on the honor roll during the year. The seniors who are on the Four Year Honor Roll are the special guests at the banquet. Here Mr. Yager and Mr. Dille talk with students and parents from their home- rooms. The banquet was in May. Central ites Receive Awards, Recognition One of the most important programs, held in June each year, is the Recognition Day ceremonies. On this day, all the de- serving students receive awards and trophies for their accom- plishments and successes in their studies and extra-curricular activities. The seniors who will receive scholarship aid are an- nounced, and the girl best citizen gives a speech on behalf of the graduating class. Underclassmen are also recognized for their achievements, and one of the more important presentations is the Tri-Kappa pin, designating the juniors who are in the upper one per cent of their class. Seniors participate in the function on their last day at Central. They also wear their traditional cap and gown outfits for the first time. This is one of the most important functions of the school year, as Central ' s top athletes and scholars get well desen-ed recognition and receive awards. Mr. Paul Bienz, football coach, presents a blanket to Amos VanPelt for his outstanding participation in athletics. Jim Whitt also received the blanket for his participation in two sports. Mr. Delmar Proctor, drama instructor, gives Debbie Littlejohn the award for being the best actress in a supporting role. Patty McCormick, Lavonia Woodard. Louie Imbody, and Dex- ter McCormick also received awards at the annual assembly. Mr. William VTetzel. choir director, gives the State Soloist Trophy to Carol Smith at the an- nual Recognition Day last June. These were members of Central ' s 1965 four-year Honor Roll. They were Karlinda Tucker, Cindy Yarman, Lyle Lantz Diane Gorrell, and Andrea Zimmerman. 1965 Graduates Recognized A major portion of the Recognition Day ceremonies was devoted the Class of 1965. Last year ' s graduating class took seats of honor at their Recognition Day. Various scholarships were announced on this day, and they were given to outstand- ing seniors. The athletes were also recognized, and the grad- uating lettermen received numerous awards. Many of the four year awards, such as the Math, Science, and English Cups, were awarded at the assembly. The highest award which can be received by a Central athlete, the blanket, was also awarded at the ceremonies. It goes to the graduating sen- ior or seniors who have shown outstanding sportsmanship and ability in several major sports in his stay at Central. One of the most important assemblies of a student ' s high school career is the Recognition Day ceremonies of the senior year. It is then that the outstanding pupils of the graduating class receive deserved honors. These girls await their turn to receive awards at the Recognition Day assembly for GAA work. These deserving seniors walk up the aisle to receive awards at the Re- cognition Day ceremonies. The students received awards for work. Commencement Exercises End School Career The Class of 1965 received their diplomas at the last major function of the class. The seniors gathered in the g)-mnasium along with many friends and relatives for the serious cere- mony of receiving their treasured diplomas. The certificates were handed out by the Deans and the principal, who con- gratulated each student. Dr. George Crane, a famou s columnist and Central graduate, spoke to the people who attended. His speech warned the graduates to be Shepherds, not Sheep. He told the future leaders of the world that they must learn to accept responsi- bility and lead others, not just follow. The Commencement excercises ended a year filled with ac- tivity. Class ofincers Candy Roberts, Larr} ' McDonnell and Susan Shepler led the class through their annual Senior Recep- tion and class play. Seniors dominated the cast of The Curious Savage. The Commencement exercises ended four years of uphill struggle for the graduating seniors. Dr. George Crane speaks to Central ' s graduating class on the fruits of being a Shepherd, and not a Sheep. Class sponsor Miss Leona Plumanns reads oflf the name of the next graduate as Mr. Spuller gives Benny Duvall his diploma. This was the scene at the Commencement exercises for the Class of 1965 as parents and friends gathered to see their child honored. 24 During our four years at Central, we are put in classrooms where we learn of things which are both interesting and difficult. We choose most of our subjects and along with our requirements, we get a well-rounded education. If these topics are learned well, we are better fit to go out and face our educated and modern society. From English, we learn to write and speak so that we may ex- press our thoughts sufficiently. From mathematics, we learn enough about this field to aid us with problems in later life. From taking home economics or shop classes, we can work better with our hands to make useful things. From our social studies courses, we learn about the history of our country, as well as various ways to keep pace with our ever expanding society. From this, one realizes just how important a faculty is. Teachers fill us with the knowledge that we will benefit most from. We must take the knowledge from these experienced people and store it in our minds, for everything we learn during our four years at Central will be useful at some point in the future. Centralites will have the necessary knowledge when we assume the responsibilities of our society along with other young people. Our generation must be educated, for it is from us that the next leaders come. Well Rounded Curriculum, Classes For Future Vocation Found At Central High Mr. Robert Dornte, one of Central ' s mathematics teachers, explains a new concept of that subject to his students of general mathematics. Below; This student pre- pares an assignment for one of Central ' s drafting classes. At Central, students can become adequately knowledged both in book subjects and shop. Math Pupils and Instructors Puzzled by New Math A wave of new math is sweeping through Central ' s math- ematics classes this year. Students are struggling through the concepts of set theory, binary numbers, and trigonometric functions. Both new and conventional math is offered for pupils with various interests and aims. Heading the mathematics staff is Miss Dorothy Ridgway. Other math instructors are Miss Leona Plumanns, Robert Dornte, Russell Rowe, and Lester Williams. These teachers had to alter their teaching techniques somewhat as the new math brought upon several problems. Central is fortunate in having an exception faculty in math. Central offers to its students a fine four-year program in mathematics. College bound pupils can take algebra, plane geometry, advanced algebra and solid geometry, and trigonome- try and analytic geometry. General math and business arithme- tic are also offered for those on the general or business courses. Miss Dorothy Ridgway, one of Cent ral ' s fine mathematics teachers, helps sophomore Richard Henderson with a gues- tion. Mose Timberlake, Burnette Willis, Jeanne Slagle, David Treadway and Diane Schaffer listen to the discussion in advanced math class. Miss Ridgway uses the new overhead projector to explain a problem to Bob Trammel, Marc Pape, and Mike Judy. Freshman Paul Sitcler explains a problem to classmates Sylvia Wal- len and Will Thomas in their general mathematics class at Central. These students prepare problems on the blackboard for a classroom discussion. Having the entire class to discuss work assists students. speech Students Learn To Combat Fear Of Audience Jim Burt and Lavonia Woodard practice a dramatic skit for pre- sentation to their speech class. Both are advanced students in speech and each participated in dramatics. Learning to speak i n front of audiences without being scared is a major asset to a person. This is taught by James Mc- Fadden in Central ' s speech classes. Students prepare speeches every day concerning various events and topics, and the student gets a chance to speak in front of the class. A tape recording reveals the voice of the speaker. Stagefright is one of the major problems faced in speech class, as most of the students have never spoken in front of people before. But after a year of speaking in front of class- mates and receiving hints as to how to better their speech, stu- dents are prepared to face a large audience without too much fear. Interested Centralites can join the Forum Club, thus receiving the opportunity to appear in various speech contests with other schools. They are still under the capable instruction of Mr. Mc- Fadden, who produces new public speakers each term. Manuscript reading over a microphone helps to learn the basic technique of expression Willie Smith, Anne Harris, and Sylvia Wallen practice this skill with the aid of a microphone. Speaking before an audience to overcome stagefright is one method used by Pat McCarthy, Paul Woodson, and Catherine Ridley during class time. Business Students Receive Valuable Aid Girls who plan to be secretaries and any student who seeks any form of business as an occupation can find assistance through Central ' s fine business courses. One does not necessarily have to enter a business field to make good use of his business train- ing, for many of the courses are helpful in everyday life. One of the major business courses is t)-ping, where students try to get a better understanding of the writing machine. Girls are also offered courses in stenography. Clerical arts and business arithmetic can also be learned through various Central courses. As our world is becoming more modem, more emphasis is being placed on the business aspects of the country-. Central students can train and learn to understand more about the world they will soon become leaders of by receiving an adequate busi- ness background. Some of the business teachers are Mr. Doerff- ler. Miss Heal, and Mr. Windmiller. Future secretaries Sheila Curtis, Bonnie Chandler, and Carolyn Barnett work on speed and skill in Miss Heal ' s fourth period typ- ing class. Speed is essential in typing. Lorine Davis seeks the help of Mr. Windmiller in Clerical Practice class. Kay Summers, Ruth Cooper, and Bonnie Chudek work their problems on calculat- ing machines. Assignments are prepared in class. First year t pists Man Borum, Pat Jackson. Debby Littlejohn. and Shirley Perry work on their daily problems during dass study time. English Offers Understanding One of the most important departments at Central is the Eng- lish department. To be successful in our ever developing society, all people must have a sufficient knowledge of their language. This knowledge is gained through the English courses. Gram- mar, poetry, and great classics are a few of the many topics dis- cussed in the various classes. Headed by Miss Jackson, the English department includes Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Rahmer, Mrs. Schoonover, Mr. Brown, Mr. Oren, Mr. Proctor, Mrs. Martone, Miss Chester, Mr. Bienz, Mr. McFadden, and Miss Baumgartner. This is the largest de- partmental staff at Central, and it contains many capable teachers. There is a class for everyone, as the students are divided into three lanes according to ability. Centralites can schedule four years of English if they wish, but only three are required on the college prep course. Topics discussed range from Huckle- berry Finn to Oedipus at Colonus. Charles Bertholf points out a town in England to other students in his class. When dealing with poets, classes usually refer to the English, Mrs. Lee ' s junior English class studies as she helps individual students. This English class was on television in January as a typical Fort Wayne Community Schools English class. ■ HEALER IN tHE TROPICS Mrs. Rahmer discusses a book report with Paul Earley as William Anderson studies. Book reports are essential. These four girls discuss some of the events of the life of Albert Schweit- zer for a research paper in their English class. Odyssey, Oedipus Important At side, Mr. James McFadden walks around his English class to give students individual help. Below, Lula Ashford, Willard Gains, Dennis Ervin, and Dorothy Moore have a grpup discussion in Mr. Proctors freshman English class. Students have an opportunity ' to do a variety of activities while in English class. Each activity helps them learn. Foreign Languages Interest Many Centralites Rhoda Bramley uses the tape recorder to tape part of her daily assignment in order that she might hear herself speak French. Latin, French, and Spanish are the foreign languages offered to all Centralites. Latin is ably handled by Miss Vera Baum- gartner, while Mr. John Baughman is in charge of teaching the other two languages. Learning the fundamentals of the lan- guage is in store for first year Latin students. After getting the basic word forms and derivatives down pat, the Latin students of the second year go into translating plays such as Julius Caesar. French and Spanish students must learn vocabulary, grammar, and the pronunciation of the words. They are also able to listen to records of the language. Students of these language courses also learn much of the history of the country involved with their language. They also make varied use of the tape recorder, taping their own voices to check for pronunciation of words. Central is fortunate to have an exceptionally fine foreign language department. These students put certain derivatives on the board in one of Central ' s Latin classes. This is very important. These girls study some famous Roman heroes. Cen- tral ' s Latin classes delve both on the old and modem worlds in their varied studies. Far Left: Miss ' Vera Baumgartner helps Leslie Howard in the first year Latin class. The students were studying the tenses of various verbs. Left: Mr. John Baughman uses an outside book to furnish information about France. The boys interested in the book are Jeff Havert and Steve Bennett. 33 Girls Learn Housekeeping y u Trrf—rJi— B- .. — : = | Hm r- WM H Irll WP ' - Eln r 1 HMnH IV ' 1. 1 alfl Here Mrs. Barrett shows her students the proper way to serve punch to guests at any sort of social function. Learning the proper way to act when around other people is an important part of Home Ec. class. Central ' s home economics classes prepare interested girls for the chores of womanhood. Sewing, cooking, house plan- ning, home management, and baking various foods are only a few of the many things learned by Central girls. Mrs. Hewes and Mrs. Barrett are the two qualified teachers at Central who work with girls thoughout the year. The home economics classes are comparable to the industrial education classes in that students learn valuable trades for their future years. Centralites do not always work with household appliances and goods. The girls are also assisted with good posture, good grooming, color combination, nutrition, ironing, and home furnishing. The girls prepare food in class and compare their results. They also make various fashion designs and proceed to make the dresses. Closely connected with home economics classes are the foods classes. Students in these classes learn a lot about the right kinds of food to eat. Learning to prepare balanced meals is an essential, and this is a major portion of the study in this class. At Central, girls can learn to become adept at all household chores, at making clothes, and at preparing a well-balanced meal, all in our own homemaking department. After serving punch and s etting the table properly, these students sit with their teacher and learn more about good manners and posture. 34 Frosh Offered Course Dealing With Problems 1373366 I Tommy Gaither, James Flowers, and Joanne Shade go over an assignment with their Orientation teacher Mr. Dennis Carlson. Orientation is a semi-histor) ' subject offered to Central ' s freshmen students. Although classified as a Social Studies course, this class is really a social course. Here, students be- come acquainted with the problems of the modern day teenage world and means of overcoming such difficulties. Students tr)- to develop a likeable personalit}- and they also make prelim- inary plans for the future. Student of Orientation makes out his program, takes various tests, and also gets the background on various jobs. Centralites also learn about themselves and why they are the way they are. They learn of the important part environment and hered- ity play on their own personal development. One also learns the proper way to react to various situations. A student is brought into contact with the cruel adult world for the first time, and he learns that he must help himself. Mr. Dennis Carlson, who arrived at Central during the second semester, is Central ' s Orientation teacher. He guided his students through their most difficult year of advancement, the year in which they become young adults. A student can gain many close friends through Orientation, for he learns a lot about himself and the people surrounding him. Claude Turner and Marcia Richards discuss a country of the world in class. Orientation students are concerned with their surroundings. These freshmen students prepare for their following lesson by reading their Orientation textbooks. LEXINSTON r. NC ' RD Present And Past Important Teaching more about the world we live in and our society in particular is a main objective of Central ' s Social Studies depart- ment. Manning the staff are Mr. Dille, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Schoeff, Mr. Still, and Miss Scheumann. Mr. Richards heads the history department. Sophomores get their first taste of history when they learn of the occurrences in the world since its beginning. Juniors learn about their own nation as they study the struggles our country has been through since its creation. Seniors take Government and Sociology or Economics to learn more about our nation. Projects this year included many field trips, including one by the Economic classes to the Tokhiem Corporation to see their money put to work. Their first project was to buy five shares of Tokhiem stock. Field trips enabled the students to learn things which might not be found in textbooks. Students have an excellent opportunity to learn of their society at Central. Two United States History students look at a time line chart made by one of the juniors in the class. World History teacher, Mr. Aaron Still points out to several Sophomore girls a country on one of the maps in his room. World History is the study of foreign countries and their backgrounds. It is only one of many social studies subjects offered to Central students. Seniors Julie Flory, Harley Adams, and David Dilworth lead a class discussion in Government class for Mr. Richards. Studying is a very important part of learning. These histor ' stu- dents use extra class time to study their history assignment. History students learn about history by finding historical places on the globe. These students point out historical places for Mr. Still. History Background Necessary To Society Donna Pliett. Arthur Scruggs, Janeen Simmons, Ted Striverson, John Myers, Dan Pallone. and Sandy Knafel listen to a lecture given in Mr. Dille s class. Physical and Chemistry Properties Discussed Biology is one of the sciences dealing with the composition of life, and these students realize the value of study. Central ' s fine science department teaches the students more about the physical aspects of the world. A general science stu- dent gets a small background in this area, but the subsequent years can prove to be very worthwhile. Science students also learn of the structure of animals, as well as the properties of the elements. Biology students learn about life and what makes various plants and animals go. Dissecting animals is an excellent method to learn more about the organs. Juniors may take physics, a subject which deals with the properties of matter. Seniors who take chemistry learn about the chemical properties of matter. Although not a requirement, four years of science at Central will give one an excellent background in the field. Headed by Mr. Griggs, the science department includes Mr. RichardviUe, Mr. McCory, and Mr. Levy. Mr. Eviston and Mr. Banet teach health, where underclassmen learn about their anatomy and good grooming. Christopher Woods and Henry Williams learn the correct use of the microscope from Mr. Griggs, head of the Science department. This is a valuable asset to one interested in science. Mr. J. C. Butler, General Science teacher, explains the use of the balances to these freshmen. The students do various experiments which involve the use of weights and measures. These freshman boys learn how to manipulate the balances in General Science class. Learning thi s will be a valuable asset in their future studies. Mose Timberlake, Bill Moore, Darryl Charlton, and Bob Trammel use their balances to find additional data for their experiments. Central Boys Learn Skills For Future Jobs Welding metal, fixing autos, and building furniture are just a few of the tasks performed by Central ' s boys in industrial classes. Many of the students are receiving valuable training which will assist them in their chosen vocation. Boys learn to work with their hands and mind in the courses which include welding, auto, machine, electricity, woods, draft- ing, and general shop. Students who plan to make a career in some sort of shop work can schedule all these courses to develop a well rounded background in the industrial arts. Mr. Marvin Todd heads the industrial arts department, and other teachers are Mr. Alvis, Mr. Fatzinger, Mr. O ' Brien, Mr. Rian, Mr. Surber, and Mr. Yager. From working on the engine of a car, students can go to the delicate art of drafting, which takes sensitive hands. Other boys prefer to build things, whether it be wood or metal, and there is a course to satisfy them too. Senior John Wallace seeks to prepare a faulty car in Auto Shop class. Boys learn all about cars and how to fix them. Harley Adams prepares to trim some metal on the metal lathe in one of Cen- tral ' s many fine courses. John Aquirre, Ted Striverson, Paul Sitcler, Sam Gaston, and Forrest Troutner observe demonstration of a completed project in the Electrical Shop by Mr. Alvis and Sam Gaston. 40 Machine shop provides Central ' s boys the chance to gain an education in using the tools that will come in handy in later work. These boys are using the lathe machine to trim metal and machine metal in order to complete their chosen projects. Drafting class provides experience for boys in a well-paying field. House plans and architectural drawings and other problems are given to each boy to submit a plan. Great skill is necessary in drafting. Welding class teaches boys the basic skills in welding metals of all kinds together. These boys are shown us- ing the basic techniques of the trade. Mr. O ' Brien teaches the class. Robert Wamsley, Sara Tyler, Joe A. Smith, and Charles McKinney mold some pottery in art class. The students make projects from clay as well as drawing various pictures. Some Centralites Artistic Boys and girls who are artistically minded can further their development in that area by taking Central ' s art courses. Work- ing with pottery, making signs for various organizations, and just drawing pictures are some of the varied activities of the art student. However, art is not all drawing, for the students have tests over the history and theory of art. Some students take the art courses because they plan to make some sort of occupation with it, while others take the courses because they like to draw or work with pottery. Mrs. Carolyn Wadlington, Miss Blanche Hutto, and Miss Phyllis Blakeman are Central ' s art teachers, and they are very learned in their field. Interested Centralites can join the Art Club, which puts the artistic abilities of the students to good work. The students of art classes help to beautify our school by making various posters for the bulletin boards. One bulletin board is also reserved for various artistic works. Mrs. Carolyn Wadlington, one of Central ' s art teachers, helps Richard Stutzman prepare a drawing. Students having trou- ble can always consult their teacher. HoUis Taylor models for Charles Reese in drawing class. The class- room received new drawing tables and Charles is putting one to use. David Relue, Richard Harris, Keith Mandra, and Richard Henderson perform at a student concert. Music Requires Talent Central ' s music students are members of the band, the choir, or both as the case may be. These people work hard, give con- certs, perform at games, give assemblies, compete in contests, and give shows for outside organizations. The students practice everyday and rehearse their routines and selections diligently. Mr. Keith Morphew is in charge of Central ' s fine Tiger band, while Mr. ' William ' Wetzel directs the choir. The choir is divided into smaller groups, such as the Harmonettes, Har- moaires, and training and swing choirs. The band has a dance band made up by several students. These groups perform separately, as well as with the entire group. The band and choir facilities are excellent, and listeners in the halls during fifth period can pick up the sounds of ardent practicing. The two groups combined for several night con- certs during the school year, and the student body was also treated to two concerts. These people prepare to sing at a concert for the students. Mr. ' Wetzel. Richard Henderson, and band president Roy Losievsk) ' accompanied the choir for this selection. Central ' s 1965-1966 marching band also performed at the concerts given for both students and adults. Football games were also attended. Physical education gives the students a chance to develop their bodies, as well as their minds at Central. A good mind is neces- sary, but so is a good, well-developed frame. Students of gym classes learn how to keep their body in good shape, and they also engage in some playful competition in sports. Flag football, soccer, basketball, tumbling, softball, track, and volleyball are some of the sports which the boys play. Girls have competition in basketball, softball, volleyball, kickball, and tumbling. Girls also learn several new dance steps with the aid of Miss Arnold and a service worker. Gym teachers for the boys include Mr. Butler and Mr. Schoeff. Sis Arnold handles the girls ' gym classes. Calisthenics are also an important part of the physical education, as the students prepare for the strenuous class schedule. Central can be proud of their gym classes, for the students have a well-rounded cur- riculum of athletic acitivities. Rae Etta Rigby jumps high to get the volleyball back over the net during a game in gym class. Bonita Lamb awaits the return in hopes of gaining a point. Girls and Boy s Participate Boys physical education class members are ready to start a game of flag football on the athletic field opposite Central. This is one of the games that the boys play while the weather permits. Physical education teacher Sis Arnold referees a volleyball game in the girls ' gym class. This is only one of the sports that is played. These boys warm up for the day ' s activities in gym class by going through some preliminary calisthenics. [n Varied Curriculum of Activities Doing push-ups in gym class is one way to stay physically fit. These boys started out the year doing push-ups and tried to increase the number that they could do as the year progressed. year, they were qualified for the physical fitness test. the end of the 45 Above: Lavonia Woodard tries to comfort Carole Weesner as Jim Burt and Diane Eastes look on in a scene from Ram- shackle Inn . Right: Burnette Willis and Jeanne Slagle, Math Club Officers, prepare decorations for the dance. While academics are extremely important, our stay at Central also gives us the opportunity to work closely with others in clubs and various other organizations. These are also valuable assets of our stay at Cen- tral, for co-operation is a necessity in our modern society. There are several types of extra-curricular organizations available. A student can learn more of a topic by joining Phy-Chem, AWC, or Math Club. If he wants to give a little to our Central society , he can work on publications and keep the students informed. Another important extra-curricular activity deals with students help- ing teachers during free periods. This shows the close co-operation be- tween teacher and pupil, and gives all of Central ' s students a sound basis for a life filled with new adventures through the access of new friends. Acquiring new friends and the access of further knowledge are two of the most important qualities of Central. All sorts of new friends can be found from completely different backgrounds, while the studies needed for the pursuit of a life-long occupation are also somewhat new. Centralites Enjoy Many Extra-Curricular Activities In Addition To Studies Mike Wilson fills another container of canned goods in preparation for the Christmas program. Student Council Is Vital The pulse of Central is what we might call the Student Council. Student Council is the force behind many school im- provements, physical and mental. One of the main purposes of the Student Council was to improve the manner in which Central runs. In order to better Central the students are encouraged to improve them- selves. Students elect representatives from their homerooms. These students meet every other Wednesday during first period. Student Council members were busy this year. Some of their activities included the Scholarship Banquet, the Incentive pro- gram, the selling of the Senior name cards, the backing of Teacher Appreciation Day, and their newest project of all, the cheerblock. There are 50 members in the Central Student Council, one from each room. Under the direction of Mr. Horstmeyer the officers were Richard Harris, president; Kipp Bailey, vice- president; Jeanne Slagle, secretary; and Mike Houser sergeant- at-arms. They directed the year ' s activities. Kipp Bailey prepares a poster with useful information. The Student Council puts many of these posters around Central High School. Officers of the Student Council were Kipp Bailey, vice-president; Jeanne Slagle, secretary; Richard Harris, president, and Mike Houser, sergent-at-arms. These students were of valuable assistance. 48 Service Workers Useful It would be almost impossible for Central to function with- out the help of the service workers. Whether grading papers, taking attendance, checking books in and out of the library, filling absence slips, or just running errands, Central service workers are always busy. Service work- ers relieve teachers of many jobs, grading papers and handling special problems. These workers get no pay except points which apply to pins awarded at the end of the year. Special parties for the service workers include the annual Christmas part) ' and a breakfast in the Spring for the purpose of giving awards to eligible persons with enough points. Service club is a club that never meets, but works every day. The only time in which all of the ser -ice workers meet at one time is when special meetings are called. The club has no officers or special project except that of being efficient in their job and services to the school. Joyce Burroughs makes sure library records are straight. She assisted the librarians with many of their chores. These people were all members of Centrals useful Service Club. The students assisted teachers, office workers, and librarians by doing much of the busywork and being of general assistance. Booster Club Backs Team, Promotes Spirit Deborah Littlejohn explains the various assignments for the Booster Club pep session at one of the meetings for the big event. Cokes, candy, hot dogs, and Don ' t push me; you ' ll get your ice cream, are familiar cries made by Booster Club mem- bers at each home football and basketball game. Since the club ' s founding in 1923, the Boosters have sponsored several money-making and worthwhile projects to raise fun ds for use- ful school purposes and for support of their activities. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Patricia Martone and Mr. John McCory. The jobs of the Booster Club begin at the first home football game and end at the last basketball game. Their meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Each year the Booster Club is kept busy selling concessions, sponsoring a dance, working hard for the annual Valentine ' s pep session, sponsoring bus trips to away games, and putting on the Booster Club Banquet. Officers were president, Shirley Love; and secretary-treasurer Carrie Diehl. Members from the Senior, Junior and Sophomore Council also helped guide the Club. Central ' s varsity basketball players played an important part in their year ' s pep session. Kipp Bailey, one of the roustabouts, makes his appearance. clowns, clowns, and more clowns. These people were a major part of the pep session held for the South Side game. They were Ernest Calland, Carolyn Doswell, Sandy Mielke, Jim Johnson, Willie Gilbert, and Sandy Knafel. Mrs. Martone, faculty adviser, and Carrie Diehl, secretary of the Booster club, sell concessions at one of the games. Vice-president Connie McClendon tells secretary Ruthie Cooper of her sales. FBLA Builds Leaders Central ' s Future Business Leaders of America Club went through the process of building youthful leaders and partici- pating in many activities during the past school term. Spon- sored by Miss Georgia Heal, the club held a bake sale, took several field trips to various business institutions, and held a party for the graduates of the business department. Service, education, progress , these are the words which appear on the FBLA banner, and they are taken seriously. The members serve their school, are educated in reference to busi- ness, and are a part of the future progress of our nation. The club meetings occassionally featured speakers who talked about their businesses. Miss Heal was assisted by the officers elected by club mem- bers. Penny McBride was chosen president; Connie McClen- don, vice-president; Ruthie Cooper, secretary; Sandra Har- meyer, treasurer; and Kay Summers, reporter. These officers performed many of the club functions. FBLA officers were president Penny McBiide, vice-president Connie McClendon, treasurer Sandra Harmeyer, secretary Ruthie Cooper, and reporter Kay Summers. Miss Heal advised the club throughout the year. 52 Dramatists Give Two Successful Performances Central ' s drama club worked many long hours in order to produce two fine plays during the past school year. The junior class sponsored Ramshackle Inn , and the senior class was responsible for preparing The Night of Januar)- l6th. These plays consisted of members of the classes mainly, and they were given in the auditorium before large audiences. Amateur actors found the audience ' s applause repayment enough for the long hours spent memorizing lines, rehearsing scenes, finding props, creating and designing the set, and preparing the costumes. Mr. Delmar Proctor again directed the two performances and he was also responsible for the make-up used by the actors on the night of the play. Members of the club who worked hard found time for relaxation at the cast parties following the plays and at the year end party. Members also received numerous awards for their performances on Recognition Day. Carol Scheurer, Victor Berko, Sarah Phillips, and Steve Maxwell seem to be having a wonderful time at one of the cast parties. Lavonia Woodard and Nancy StofFer. a senior and a junior, prepare a dramatic scene for Central ' s annual play sponsored by the juniors. Nancy Stofler, Jim Burt, Ernest Calland, and La- vonia Woodard rehearse a scene from the junior class play in order to be prepared for the play. Tigerettes Perform At Games, Present Colors - ' IHh gM|MH| Central ' s great marching Tigerettes gave performances at all of Central ' s home athletic contests as well as each pep ses- sion. The twirlers presented the flag at the ceremonies before the games and pep sessions, and then gave performances at halftimes to brighten up the otherwise dull interval between competition. Assisted by the band in most numbers, the Tigerettes braved great cold at the football games, but the basketball contests found the atmosphere a little warmer. Mrs. Edna Chester, Miss Phyllis Blakeman, and Mr. Keith Morphew directed the twirlers through their activities during the school term. The girls were responsible for keeping their new outfits in good shape for the performances. Dance routines and twirling exhibitions highlighted their performances. The Twirlers also were responsible for a dance during the year, a bake sale, and a picnic during the latter part of the year. These Marching Tigerettes present the colors before one of Central ' s home football games. They also performed at the half. Cindy Wildoner and Velma Maxwell were two of the girls who led the twirlers as officers during the past season. They were in charge of the meetings. 54 These girls prepare to turn and make their exit after presenting the colors at a pep session. Centralites stand at attention as the Twirlers present the flags in preparation for one of the many basketball pep sessions. These five girls listen intently to plans for their upcoming bake sales and picnic. The Twirlers met often to practice various routines for ball games. Manual Heredia was Head Photographer for the Caldron. Here he gets set to make some prints for the year book to meet a deadline. Preparing Yearbook Hard Working late at night and on weekends to prepare the 1966 Caldron was a not too uncommon sight during the past school year. Readers marveled at the color pictures used in the book, and they were only part of the gigantic chore of publishing a yearbook. Copy and cutlines had to be written, pictures taken, and everything prepared by a certain time so that the reader could have his book on time. Members of the staff were Jim Johnson, Editor-in-Chief; Marjorie Louie, Assistant Editor; Ailcy Isbell, Business Man- ager; Lew Mathias, Senior Editor; Marc Pape, Underclass Editor; Jane Van der Smissen, Index Editor; Manual Heredia, Head Photographer; and Dan Pallone, Sports Editor. Mrs. Rose Schoonover was the faculty adviser for the book, and she assisted the editor in getting the deadlines met. The staff worked hard to see that the students received an accurate account of the year ' s events. Junior Dan Pallone was Sports Editor. Responsible for copy and cutlines, he checks last year ' s book. Senior Jim Johnson was Editor-in-Chief of the 1966 Caldron. He was responsible for all the information, and here he tries to prepare the work for a deadline. ■ 56 Senior Marjorie Louie was Assistant Editor of this year ' s Cal- dron and she was responsible for much of the work done. Marc Pape and Lew Mathias, both seniors on the staff, pre- pare the portrait section for the Caldron. Lew was Senior Editor and Marc took care of the underclass pictures. Seniors Lavonia Woodard and Marjorie Louie, chemistry students, perfoim an experiment in electrical potential. Phy-Chem Club Busy Centralites interested in physics and chemistry don ' t have to leave their enthusiasm in the classroom at Central. They have an opportunity to increase their knowledge in the field of science by joining Phy-Chem Club. This year the members witnessed a lecture on relativity and the size of the universe by Dr, Edward Teller, A dem- onstration was given on liquid air. The members of the club were also busy this year with their Christmas dance, called the ■ ' Atomic Blast, The sponsor of Phy-Chem first semester was Mr. Richard Horstmeyer. The sponsor for second semester was Mr. Bernard Richardville. Those who served as first semester officers were Manuel Heredia, president; Lew Mathias, vice-president; Dan Pallone, reporter; and Lillian Harris, librarian. Officers second semester were Lew Mathias, president; Sarah Brown, vice-president, Carrie Diehl, secretary; Majorie Louie, reporter; and Lillian Harris, librarian. Lew Mathias, Danny Pallone, Mr, Bernard Richardville, and Roy Losievsky work with an old projector at a meeting. Math Club Important The birthday party in December, the annual dance in Feb- ruary, and the bake sale in March were just a few of the many activities sponsored by Math Club this year. Club members also visited the computer department at Lincoln National Bank and toured City Glass Enterprises. Math Club, whose purpose is to develop interest in and ap- preciation of the history, applications, and powers of the science of mathematics, is sponsored by Miss Leona Plumanns and Miss Dorothy Ridgway. Math Club proudly claims the distinction of being the oldest high school club in the city, have been organized in 1913. Through the years. Math Club has stimulated many students to pursue careers in mathematics and science. Math Club officers for the first semester were Marjorie Louie, president; Burnette Willis, vice-president; Ailq- Isbell, secretary; and Dave Clymer, treasurer. Second semester officers were Jeanne Slagle, president; Kenny Fritz, vice-president; Carolyn Doswell, secretary; and Bill Miller, treasurer. Math Club officers this year were Dave Clymer, Marjorie Louie, Frank Sitcler, Carolyn Doswell, Burnette Willis, Ailcy Isbell, Jeanne Slagle, and Kenny Fritz. They helped run the organization. David Treadway works on a Math Club paper while Shirley Louie, Joyce Burroughs, and Anita Ojeda propose various plans for the Math Club. First semester president Marjorie Louie goes over Math Club papers in preparation for the following dub meeting. Dressed in the choir robes, choir members concentrate on the num- ber they are singing. Voices Found in Choir When walking through the halls during the fifth period in the area of the cafeteria, one can hear the choir as they practice across the hall. The choir practices five days a week in prepara- tion for the concerts they give with the band, as well as for the performances they give at the various holiday assemblies. The choir sponsors a dance in the school year, and this year it was a record hope in February which featured a WOWO disc Jockey, Ed Carr, The choir is certainly a busy organization as they divide up into smaller groups to sing certain numbers, including the Centralettes and the Harmonettes. Any musically inclined student or someone that likes to sing can join the choir. Mr. William Wetzel is Central ' s fine music teacher. He trained the choir for the concerts and the state music contests. He was aided by the choir officers who were president, Debbie Littlejohn; vice-presidents, Richard Henderson and Jan- ice Whitfield; and secretary, Carrie Diehl. Choir members practice during class time. They are (row 1) Beverly McKnight, Sandra Stein, Linda Chandler, Sue Leitch, David Muncie, Keith Mandra, Dave Relue, Elija Young, Leann Cook; (row 2) Gwendolyn Epps, Janice Whitfield, Martha Gains, Travis Sanders, Forest Fett, Alandrous Harvey, Delores Jackson, Mose Timberlake, Pamela Johnson, Lydia Lewis, Kathy Harris; (row 3) John Erwin, Ron Woodson, David Carlisle, Renfred Lightning, Richard Harris, Nathan Thomas; (row 4) Bobbie Maxwell, Melody Cook, Kay Franklin, Becky Mossburg, Cheryl Springer, Carole Weesner, Carolyn Moore, Donna Hopson, and Ernestine Jones. The bass and baritone sections of the choir add highlights to the Christmas carols as they sing while walking through the halls before Christmas vacation. The choir combines their voices with the music of the band during the winter concert. Concerts, Assemblies Take Time Carolyn Moore and David Muncie check the radios they won for selling the most candy during the candy sale before Christmas. At Christmas time, choir members went through the halls singing carols. Their singing added to the Christmas spirit. Mike Wilson, Grayson Perkins, and Ron Magsamen prepare Spot- lights to be sent to the newspaper ' s avid readers. Central ' s Spotlight Informative Reading The Spotlight, our school paper, is distributed every Wednes- day morning. This paper helps to announce all past and coming events. Reporters are sent to every athletic game, every dance, and every school activity. They also try to cover all club meetings and interview outstanding Centralites. Every day, stories must be written, typed, copyread, headlined, and sent to the press. When the galleys are sent back, they have to be marked, proofread, and cut apart. The layouts are then done from these. The editor of the Spotlight first semester was Carol Hampton. Lois Dill became editor second semester. Ron Magsmen as- sumed Louie ' s duties as sports editor. Other major positions were Jim Marquiss, news editor; Sandy Knafel, feature editor; Louie Imbody, Ron Magsamen, sports editor; Bonnie High, copy-editor; Manuel Heredia, head photographer; Shirley Kiess, point recorder. Mrs. Rose Schoonover is the faculty adviser. Seniors Carol Hampton and Louie Imbody compare notes as they change positions in the middle of the year. Carol edited the paper during the first semester. Junior Bonnie High smirks as she types up Tigertown. Spotlight stories must be typed and readied for press. Charlie Imbody, Bonnie Heil, and Carol Weesner open gag gifts at the Spotlight ' s annual Christmas Party. Louie was fascinated by his gift, but his lack of windage prevented his using it. Marsha Hampton, Jimmie Marquiss, and Charlie Imbody look to see which stories they have been assigned for the coming Spotlight issue. Carol Hampton, editor for the first semester, lays out the front page, an important part of editing. Performing during the halftime of the football contests was an important duty of Central ' s marching band members. Band Performs Regularly When one passes through the hall past Room 150 during fifth period he hears a rise of music from the Central High School Band. The band meets every day under the direction of Mr. Keith L. Morphew. During football season the musical Tigers were found on the football field every morning before school and every noon in the fall. They practiced and drilled on marching skills and new routines, and came up with some good ones. The Marching Tigers performed at pep sessions, all home football and basketball games, joined with the choir for three concerts through the year, and played in the Memorial Day Parade. They also sold door mats to help pay for their uni- forms. The officers this year were Roy Losievsky, acting president; Edward Wright, vice-president; Jeanne Slagle, secretary-trea- surer; and Linda McCague, assistant secretary-treasurer. Senior Rick Leverenz leads the band at a football game. Practice makes perfect. Everyday, weather permissable, the band would journey onto the football field to work out various routines. tUFKBtP II i p J 1 WsP f, = .mT H HC ' - j -v ' - I B m 1 Marching and playing the instrument at the same time are good skills, and these tuba players work hard on the field. Central ' s marching Tiger band for the 1965-66 school year performed well at games and concerts. Under the direction of Mr. Keith Morphew, the band provided wonderful music at these events. Art Club Provides Beauty For All Centralites Beautiful halls and attractive setting for the student body and faculty are products of the Art Club. The art department is supported by projects made by the Art Club, which is com- posed of the least interested to the most avid art fan. This year the Art Club has been busy beautifying the school. For example, they are responsible for decorating the Christ- mas tree and for contributing decorations to the Easter egg tree, both of which are located in the office. When they aren ' t busy preparing for their annual Valentine Dance or planning a picnic, they visit the local art museums in the city. Art Club meets on the first and third Thursdays of every month and the sponsors are Miss Blanche Hutto and Mrs. Carolyn Wadlington. The officers of the club shoulder much of the responsibility of having a successful year. Officers are Ann Jackson, presi- dent; Karen Mabee, vice-president; and Doris Jordan, secre- tary-treasurer. They planned the activities. These art students prepare favors at Christmas time. Art Club students have a Christmas party every year. Art students clean the statues. This was one of the ways that they beautified Central ' s halls. Opening Christmas gifts is always a special occasion. These girls pass out the gifts at the Art Club ' s annual Christmas meeting. Press Club Members Relax Central ' s publications staff members, upon reaching 1500 points, are allowed to join the Press Club. This organization meets every other Wednesday at a member ' s house to discuss plans for their dance, their bake sale, advertising campaigns, picnic, banquet, or just plain fun. Louie Imbody was elected to the presidency of the club. He was assisted by vice-president Dan Pallone and secretary Carol Hampton. Publications adviser Mrs. Rose Schoonover is also the adviser for this organization. She is in attendance at all meetings and chooses award winners from the club, as a member of the publications staff must be in Press Club to receive any awards. Members relaxed at the meetings and discussed various plans for the Spotlight and the Caldron. Refreshments, card games, records, and television were also main objectives of the meetings. A publications staff member looks forward to joining the club. The Spotlight ' s head photographer, Manual Heredia, finds that playing pool is a little easier than working in Central ' s darkroom. Officers for the Press Club this year were Dan Pallone, vice-president; Carol Hampton, secretary; and Louie Imbody, president. 67 Firearms Safety Taught Learning the fundamentals of handling firearms and also learning the rules of safety concerning a weapon are two of the main objectives of Central ' s Rifle Club. Under the leadership of Mr. Richard Rian, Central boys who are interested in guns can come to the weekly meetings; chat about firearms, and shoot at the range located in the basement. Learning to handle firearms properly will be a valuable les- son in a student ' s adult life. The club sponsored a dance in February, and it was a success. Other interesting points of interest were the qualifications which took place at various meetings and the firing practice. Forming a team and competing against riflers of other schools was also a function of Central ' s Rifle Club. A club such as this is important because it teaches a valuable lesson about firearms while the students participating are doing something they enjoy during free time. Charles Bertholf and Dennis Spitler compare their scores after firing at the targets during one of the Rifle Club meetings. Here James Joyner and David Dilworth watch in- tently as other members take their turns firing. Faculty adviser Mr. Richard Rian works with club members Dennis Spitler to get accurate checks on the scores of the boys participating in the meeting. i i-y tL - ' - ' r J 1 1 r 1 1 i in Ofificers of the Forum Club were Catherine Ridley, secretary; Joyce Burroughs, president; and Carol Scheurer, vice-president. Forum Club is Open To Speech Students Central High School ' s Forum Club, which meets two times per month, is open to any student interested in speech activi- ties. The members of speech club are called upon to speak for pep sessions, club meetings, assemblies, outsicle organizations, and to represent Central at speech meets. Forum Club members talked for their ribbons at various intramural and speech contests. The purpose of this club is to point out and to improve the fundamentals of speaking, ad- vanced speech, debate, radio and television speech, and inter- pretation of semantics. Gaining poise, confidence, and experi- ence in speaking before the public, is one of the main goals of the members of Forum Club. The opportunit)- of meeting other teenagers is his for the asking and preparing a declama- tion or speech. Under the direction of Mr. James McFadden, the ofiicers this year were Joyce Burroughs, president; Carol Scheurer, vice-president; and Catherine Ridley, secretar)-. These students give an oration before the Forum Club. Students lose their fear of audiences. Aileen Booty and Catherine Ridley look on and listen as Julie Flory gives a speech. This is valuable practice. Tiger Boosters Saw Bengals Capture Wrestling Sectional Championship, City Roundball Title; Varsity Gridders, Reserve And Freshmen Athletic Squads All Perform Exceptionally Well sportsmanship is one of the most important things learned from athletics at our school. We are prepared for possible disappointments in later life by being taught to accept defeat as well as victory. Schools competing on an equal basis find that tensions can be released both on the field and on the court, or by cheering the team on. Through athletics, GAA, and physical education classes, the bodies of our students are conditioned for the strenuous life ahead. Through sports, the entire Central student body works for one thing, a victory. Whether one is competing or cheering, everyone works together as a team. Teamwork and sportsmanship were all vital assets of each Tiger victory. Learning to work together as a team is important, for students may be on a team later in life where they must give or take directions. Sports builds strong bodies and leadership. The boys on the field are leaders, as well as the people giving them inspiration from the stands. From Central ' s wide sports curriculum, all active participants gain both leadership and responsibility. Athletic competition is vital to the well-rounded school curriculum, for the contests give the students a chance to root their school on to victory. Senior Curtis Booker pins fiis opponent for valuable points in one of the meets. Curtis was one of three Central boys winning Sectional crowns. Coleman Hatcher and Simon Jack- son also took titles in their weight classifications. Members of the reserve squad were: Row 1: Wesley Dennis, Chester Adams, Jesse Collins, John Stalling, and Lee Mur- phy.

They had the best record of a city squad, the City Series championship, a victory in the holiday tourney at Chesterton, and three boys on the All-City first team. A fastbreak offense and a stifling defense pushed the Dillemen to a 19-3 log, including nine straight city victories. Central, under the able direction of Coach Bob Dille, raced into the city lead immediately with impressive victories over Bishop Dwenger and North Side. The Saints fell 87-36, while the Redskins dropped a 73-54 decision. New Haven ' s Bulldogs then visited the Summit City, and the downtown five sent them home with a sound 81-49 loss. Warsaw then handed the Bengals their first defeat in the Tiger lair, posting an 86-77 win in a high-geared affair. Marion then challenged the mighty Tigers, but they lost on their home court by an 83-67 margin. A trip to Huntington found the Tigers battling foul trouble, but a 52-48 win added to the ex- citing competition. Another city victory was in store when the Elmhurst squad met Central, as the Trojans were humiliated, 72-46. The Chesterton Holiday Tourney was exciting, as the Tigers tri- umphed over Laporte and South Bend ' Washington to bring a victory in Coach Dille ' s home town. LaPorte fell by a 67-65 count, and a last quarter rally edged the Washington team 72-67. This was our first trip to Chesterton. Anderson ' s fabulous Indians then handed the Tigers a 76- 60 shellacking, which was the last loss for eleven games. On the following night, the streak began as Elwood was tromped 91-69. Bishop Leurs and Concordia then lost city encounters, the Knights 64-36, the Cadets 68-53. The thrilling South Side game found the Tigers rallying for a 67-63 win. Peru and Elkhart then lost back to back clashes with the Dillemen, 76-35 and 76-65. North then fell for the second time by a 75-64 score, and Crispus Attucks fell by a 61-55 margin. The game which de- cided the city crown found the Tigers crushing South ' s Arch- ers 76-59. The final game of the regular season found Cen- tral Catholic ' s Irish on the short end of a 77-47 count. Sectional competition found the Irish once again falling 80-59, but an inspired New Haven team ended any Tiger tourney hopes by upsetting Central 65-63 in a double over- time contest. The final highlight of the season was the nam- ing of Johnny Burt, John Turner, and Ernie Wash to the All- City squad. Kipp Bailey and Glyn Gleason made the second team. Other squad members were Ron Fields, Ralph Charlton, Eugene Devbrow, Jesse White, Tommy Clancy, Bill Miller, and Glenn Bailey. Charles Reese was added later.

The Bengals, under the direction of their coach Mark Schoeff broke out of a three game slump during mid- season to finish in good form, winning eleven out of their remaining twelve games. Taking two games from South Side ' s reserves and win- ning other city contests added to the season. One of the best games of the year was played against Elkhart ' s reserves in the Central gym as the Blue Blazers fell by a 56-54 score in a double-overtime aflfair. A long desperation shot by a Tiger guard with one second remaining in the first overtime provided the chance to win the game. The Bengals were knocked out of the city tournament during their midseason slump, but the fabulous streak to close out the season more than made up for the losses. Members of the team were Jon Smith, Charles VanPelt, Alandrous Harvey, Charles Reese, Booker Dunbar, Paul Woodson, Jesse Collins, Robert Davis, Ephriam Smiley, Chester Adams, Wesley Dennis, John Stallings, Lee Murphy, Ron Fields, Jessie White, and Eugene Devbrow. Devbrow, White, Fields, and Reese also played part time for the varsity squad after reserve games.

The only quintet that presented problems of the Baby Bengals was an effective- scoring group from Weisser Park. Playing this team twice, the Blue freshmen fought to the very last minute as they worked and played brilliantly to find themselves on top at the final buzzer. Led by Coach Byron Buzz DoerfBer, the frosh round- ballers highlighted their season by winning the ninth grade city tournament as they defeated that same Weisser Park five in the final, 40-31. The remainder of their season consisted of two wins over each of the other city quintets plus two vic- tories over Weisser Park ' s Owls, and Harrison Hill ' s Hawk. The Baby Bengals roared with an offensive season ' s average of 60 points per game and they held their opponents to a meager 32 points per contest. Members of this year ' s Fresh- men squad included Paul Johnson, Terry Freeman, Richard Lowery, Leslie Howard, Jesse Scott, Lynn White, Charles Johnson, Bill Stevenson, Glen Hines, Walter Martin, Walter Kyles, and student manager Tommy Hardin. The boys were the last Centralites to play here as a Freshman team. A Tiger guard puts the touch to another bunny shot on the end of a fast break during a contest. The Bengal forces went undefeated. 79 Gridders End 1965 Season With 5-5 Record Central ' s varsit)- pigskin eleven battled through a mediocre 5-5 season in 1965. Coupling a brilliant defense with a fair offense, the team managed a 5-5 record despite several costly injuries and mistakes. The defense fashioned two shutouts, and three Bengal losses were by one touchdown or less. Goshen ' s Redskins entertained the Bengals in a game played before the scholastic year started, and th e northern team sent the Bienzmen home with a 12-6 scalping. The Tigers then faced New Haven in a home contest, and the defensive unit was superb as the Tigers whipped the Bulldogs 6-0. North then came into the Central lair, and another brilliant defensive contest found a long Bengal scoring play sufficient, as the Redskins fell 7-6. In the city series contests with South ' s talented single-wing offense, the Archers managed to pull out a 12-8 verdict. A road trip to Elkhart found nothing going right for the Tiger forces, as the Blue Blazers knocked off the Summit Cit) ' eleven 12-0. Two scoring plays were cut off on weird situations. A second duel with the undefeated Greenmen from South found the Bengals again on the short end of a 12-6 count. At this point. Central hopes were dim, as they had a 2-4 log. That record worsened to 2-5 as the Central Catholic Irish solved the Bengal defense for three touchdowns and a 20-6 win. The Tigers then hit the high point of their season as they rolled over three straight city foes to pull up even for the season. Elmhurst had a hard time moving against the defense, and found themselves whitewashed 6-0. Luers had their hands full as the Tigers put on an offensive performance and garnered a 20-7 victory over the Knights. The season ended with Con- cordia ' s Cadets falling 13-12. Central was well represented in the city sports polls. Howard Martin made first team All-Cit) ' . On the second team were Ulysses Striverson and Marzine Moore. Johnny Burt, Ron ' Wood- son, Ted Striverson, Mike Hines, Tommy Clancy, John Lapsley, Al Reese, Bill Miller, and James ' Williams all gained the honor of honorable mention in city polls. Monster Man John Lapsley ponders about which route he should take to the goal line. Two South Siders seem to be deciding which way he will go in the low scoring contest.

Butler and Mr. Buzz DoerfFler, co-mentors of this year ' s reserve gridiron eleven, led their boys to a perfect season during this past campaign. The B-team boys racked up a fine record of six wins and no losses. This phase of Central ' s football program took in a new oddity in competition which in time may develop into a worthwhile project for all coming re- serve t eams to look forward to. Coaches from the varsity squad picked a few boys to play with the reserve squad. In doing this, the coaches felt it was one manner in which every player could see action and gain experience. This year, this junior varsity contest, as it is called, was played against New Haven ' s Bulldogs. The Bengal junior varsity faced a 6-0 defeat. Coaches throughout the city expressed full faith in this set-up and look forward to the establishment of similar programs in the future. This marks the second straight year that the reserves have gone undefeated and given Central a fine team to boast about. Central ' s reserve grid team consisted of Coach Buzz Doerffler, Robert Ephriam Smiley, John Booker, Robert Murphy, Ralph Jackson, Charles Wallace, Glen Williams, Arthur Hides, Wesley Dennis, Charles Van Blair, Charles Myatt, and Dexter McCormick. The team had a 6- 1 record Pelt, Gene Brownlee, and Coach J. C. Butler.

This was Mr. Flowers ' l ast year as frosh squad mentor due to the construction of a new Memorial Park Junior High School which will take all of Central ' s ninth graders. In his two years of coaching the freshmen boys, he marked up an unblemished 13-0 record. This year ' s Baby Bengal representatives compiled impressive wins over their opponents, as they scored a grand total of 214 points in six games for an average of almost 36 points per game. The Bengals displayed a splendid defense all year as they limited their opponents to only 38 tallies in six contests for an average of one touchdown each game. Only three of the Baby Bengals ' opponents scored against the rugged Tiger de- fense. Using a high-scoring offense and he-man defense Central defeated frosh ele ens from Franklin, Portage, Ge}-er, Lane, Weisser Park, and Kekionga.

Cross Country Squad Captures Seven Meets Coach Howard Schneider led his talented Cross Country team through a fair 7-10 season during the fall of 1965. This total includes both the varsity and reserve scores. The team participated in the Sectional Cross Country compe- tition and placed ninth in the schools there. The varsity runners ■sifho went to the Sectionals were Tommy Brown, Charles Mc- Kinney, Jim Turckes, McKinley Griffin, Bobby Brooks, Narvis Thompson, and Sam Tyler. Those who ran for the reserve team were Bruce King, Curtis Booker, Gus Kinnie, James Joyner, Clarence Thomas, Darryl Patterson, Glenn Allen, Willie Dodds, Arthur Scruggs, Dennis Walton, and Ewell Wilson. These boys were the back-up men in case of an injury to one of the varsity competitors. Although not a major sport at Central, cross country is an in- teresting sport which attracts crowds to its meets. This scene was shot as five boys battled for position at Sec- tional Cross Country meet in which Central boys ran. Central ' s Cross Country team was well represented in the Sectional meet. Those participating included McKinley Griffin, Tommy Brown, Bobby Brooks, and Charles McKinnie in the first row. Narvis Thompson, Coach Howard Schneider, and Jim Turckes compose the last row. The boys had a mediocre season, but finished strong. 86 Bengal Grapplers Snare Sectional Crown Central ' s Tigers Opponent 22 New Haven 18 38 North Side 10 56 Elmhurst 18 Manchester 29 27 Goshen 18 25 South Side 18 30 Central Cath. 18 27 Southwood 21 45 Elmhurst 22 28 Decatur 11 19 New Haven 32 Decatur Tourney (Decatur.

Simon Jackson, Curtis Booker, and Coleman Hatcher all three won division championships to pull the Bengals through the sectionals. In city competition, the Tigers were undefeated, beating Elmhurst twice. North Side, South Side, and Central Catholic. The Bengals captured runner-up honors to the Decatur squad in the host school ' s tourney, beating out Central Catholic and Concordia. Marion also invited the Bengals to a tournament, and the Bengals placed third out of four schools. This was an excep- tional year for the Bengals, as any school who can rise to a wonderful record and a sectional championship is only their second year deserves much notice.

Cheerleaders Add Spirit spiriting Central ' s students to supporting the team was the main objective of the cheerleaders. As well as introducing new cheers to the student body, the yell leaders also fashioned new outfits. The varsity cheerleaders were seniors Carol Hampton, Julie Flory, Leann Cook, Jim Johnson, Louie Imbody, and sophomore Jeanette Ambrose. Junior John Myers donned the new mascot outfit. Faculty advisor Margaret Scheumann was assisted by Louie Imbody, who was elected captain. Along with leading the sup- port for the athletic teams, it was also the duty of the varsity to help the reser ' e cheerleaders in tryouts and practices. Elected as reserve cheerleaders for the 1965-1966 athletic sea- son were Rita Ellis, Melody Cook, Crenda Heatherington, Judy Mattix, Charles Green, and Oscar Dowdell. The two groups had much to cheer about, as Central ' s athletic teams had great seasons with many victories. Reserve cheerleaders cheered the reserve football team to many victories.

Tiger ten- nis mentor, Mr. John T. McCory, faced a rebuilding year as his best boys were seniors one year ago. Mr. McCory now faces the same situation for his next campaign, but he has complete confidence in the material with which he has to work. Bengal court representatives managed to win only one match last spring against city foe Central Catholic. Their season was highlighted by a few close matches, but breaks failed to fall to their ad- vantage. Roughest opposition for the racquetmen came from schools out of the city as Central seemingly held its own with local competition. Bluffton, Lakeland, and Warsaw handed the Mc- Corymen their worst defeats with Bluffton blanking Central twice during the season. Enthusiasm on the Central tennis court has been increasing steadily and Tiger racquet maneuvers have improved during recent seasons.

For the first time Central participated in two indoor meets, finishing second on both occasions. The Hammond Indoor meet had 12 schools. With prowess in the 100-yard dash, the high jump, the relays, and the broad jump, the Tigers rolled over Columbia City, Marion, Elmhurst, Central Catholic, and Luers and New Haven in a triangular at the Bulldog field. Their only loss was to North in the South-North triangular. The Bengals followed the Redskins in the Sectional competi- tion, finishing second. The Regionals saw the Bengals finishing a close third, and the Schneidermen topped a great year by taking fifth place in the state. The squad was quick and young, as most of the boys were sophomores and juniors, which indicates a good future in the track competition. Speedster Ralph Charlton breaks the tape in the 100 as Ken Stevenson lunges past a South Side cinderman. Junior Jesse White clears the bar in the high jump competition. Jesse placed third in the state in the event, and this was one of the highpoints of the season. Herman Williams rounds the turn in the 440. He placed high in the statewide competition.

Girls Participate In GAA, Become Physically Fit Central ' s Girls Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Arnold, went through a huge schedule of activities dur- ing the school year. The girls engaged in many athletic events and tournaments, and a banquet was given near the end of the year at which various awards and trophies were presented. Girls must obtain 100 points before they are invited to join the GAA. These points are obtained from the ordinary gym classes. Besides the awards, girls are developed both physically and mentally through the varied athletic program. The com- petition is spirited, but is also good, wholesome fun. Miss Arnold was assisted by several girls who were elected to fill offices. Carlotta Hoagland was chosen president; Josie Young, vice-president; Jean Adams, secretary; and Janet Ken- nedy, point recorder. Their duties included supervision of the many tournaments and preparation of the annual banquet format in the spring- These girls participated in and supported all the functions of Cen- tral ' s Girls Athletic Association. The girls worked diligently all year for points to enable them to receive awards at a banquet. Great poise and dexterity is required in tumbling, and these GAA members work well together. Winners of the GAA Volleyball Tournament were: First Row: Gaylia Norman, Delores Gatson, Dorothy Green, and Shirley Brooks. In Row 2: are Janet Kennedy.

It takes many people to run a school, but the students are the most vital asset of any institution of learning. Here two Centralites prepare work. When speaking of everyone, exactly who are we re- ferring to? We are giving reference to all Centralites. We are talking about the freshmen, the sophomores, the juniors, the seniors, the boys, and the girls. We are speaking of the students who make up our great school. Everyone at Central includes those students who are on the general course, the business course, or the college pre- paratory course. Everyone also includes all of the individuals who spend their daytime hours at Central. Here at school, everyone works together to learn, to lead, to take directions, and to gain new friends and ideas through new experiences. On the following pages are the photos of all the people who work together to make Central a great institution. Some have already passed their term at Central, while others have just started their trek toward a higher education. These people spent the school year working for an education and an understanding of fellow students. Central High School Is An Organization Which Consist Of Many Varied Backgrounc Learning is an important part of any school. When Cen- tralites enter a classroom, everyone helps each other. Graduating Class of 1966 Completes Successful Four Year Term At Central High School Clyde Williams, elected president of the graduating class all four years, is flanked by his assistants, Shirley Love, secretary, and Ernest Calland, vice-president. Central ' s Class of 1966 left Central after completing their most successful year at Tigerland. An active year was high- lighted by the Senior Reception, Senior Play, Senior Dance, Baccalaureate, and the Commencement exercises. Clyde Williams was elected to the presidency of the class for the fourth year, and assisting him were Ernest Calland, vice- president, and Shirley Love, secretary. Mr. David Griggs and Mrs. Carolyn Wadlington sponsored the class, as they had done since the class ' s freshman year. The Seniors spent their final year at Central speaking to col- lege counselors or future employers. Tests were taken through- out the year in order for college entrance. Those who had no plans to go to college got further credits in the vocational or business fields, so that their entrance into adulthood might be successfully prepared for. It was a truly outstanding year for the Seniors, as they tried to set a good example for the under- classmen to follow in the years ahead. M iM Fred Adams, Jr. Larry L.

Richard Harris and Mr. Robert Hampton talk with them here as students, teachers and parents confer. Juniors Think Of Future Juniors began thinking about their future as they were known as upperclassmen for the first time. Their thoughts turned to college and what lay ahead for them after their third year at Central. The year was a successful one, as the Junior Play and Junior Prom were both profitable. Mr. John Baughman and Mrs. Irene Rahmer aided the class officers as sponsors. The class elected Phil Pearson to the presi- dency for the third straight year. He was assisted by vice-presi- dent Theresa Brown and secretary Carolyn Moore. These offi- cers helped set up the class functions. Ramshackle Inn was chosen as the Junior Play, and with the class supplying most of the cast, the play was very success- ful. The Junior Prom was the most important function of the second semester, and it too was beautifully produced. After a successful three years at Central, the juniors turned their thoughts to the outer world. Phil Pearson led the junior class for the third consecutive year. Theresa Brown was named vice-president of the class and Carolyn Moore was elected as secretary.

With the construction of a new junior high school, Central will no longer maintain a first year class. The last class made Central a proud school, as it held the honor of previous green classes. Miss Leona Plumanns and Mr. Robert Rian sponsored the class, and they will follow the de- velopment of the young boys and girls until their graduation. The first function of the class- was to elect their student leaders. Vera Scruggs was named to the presidency, Paul Sitcler vice-president, and Rita Ellis held down the position of secre- tary. These people led the class in their functions, which were not too numerous in their first year. A successful high school career was started with the Spirit of Central program, which introduced extra-curricular activities to the students. The class party was their only social event. Freshmen went to the polls and elected Vera Scruggs to be president of their class. She was ably assisted by vice-president Paul Sitcler and secretary Rita Ellis. a£ 9 Irene Adams Wayne Allen Veronica Allison Lula AshforcJ Antoinette Barnes Jimmie Barnes Clinton Beaman Freddie Belock Patti Bentz Ida Billingsley Huston Black Regena Blackman Larry Bledsoe Tyrone Bledsoe Sam Blevins Shirley Blevins Everett Bonner Douglas Booker James Brabson Pam Bragg Kathleen Brandyberry Mary Breedlove Jennifer Brooks Otis Brooks Central ' s Baby Bengals follow the cheerleaders at a pep session.

Teachers Are Vital Asset Central ' s teaching staff consists of fifty-one people who are definitely interested in what will become of their students. Their diplomas were received from both large and small universities and colleges, but they all have a common goal, to give Cen- tralites the best possible education. Central ' s well equipped faculty does more than teach stu- dents however, for they are responsible for the supplies the stu- dents receive. They also give their valuable time to sponsor a class or organization. Central ' s teachers are always around when some student needs extra help to complete a tough assign- ment. Central can be proud of its faculty, a cross-section of teaching knowledge and abilities. No school can function properly with- out a well-trained staff of teachers, and Central ' s faculty is capable on both counts. Centralites are very lucky, for they have an exceptional staff of superiors to guide them. Mr. Aaron Still, alias Julius Caesar, par- ticipates in a skit at the faculty picnic. This was a chance for the teachers to have fun, an occasional relief.

Custodian Vern Mowan empties the trash into the inciner- ator. This is one of the many chores of the custodians. Custodians Very Efficient Central would not be the same without its capable main- tenance staff. Central ' s custodians are responsible for keeping our school spotless. Our heating system is also worked by the staff. When a light is faulty, an efficient custodian is always there to replace the old one. While students enjoy Christmas and spring vacations, the custodians are busy at school waxing the floors and preparing the school for the return of the students. During the winter months, the walks are always kept clean and safe for the students and visitors. The custodians keep the yard and grounds around the building beautiful through spring and summer by tending to the flowers and grass. A custodian also raises the flag. Mr. Jack Bennett was named head custodian this year. Some of his assistants were Frank Carroll, Walter Hollie, Vern Mowan, Gret Hall, and Phil Miller. These men are to be congratulated for their fine job in connection with the main- tenance of our school building and grounds. Paul Miller adjusts the heating system during an excessively cool winter day. Frank Carroll, Walter Hollie, and Vern Mowan are just three of the fine custodians who keep Central High School running smoothly. T IK. Ann Battell, Ina Kennedy, and Ardis Byrd clean up the kit- chen after serving many of Central ' s hungry students. Cooks Prepare Dishes Daily For Students What ' s for lunch? is a question which must be answered everydsy by Central ' s important cafeteria staff. Early in the morning, long before lunch is scheduled to be ser ed, the cooks are very busy planning and preparing a balanced meal for hungry Centralites. By lunch time, ever)-thing is ready, and students are ser% ' ed efficiently and promptly. Students have the choice of buying their entire meal or part of it, choosing between the plate lunch and the a la carte menu. This combination of wholesome food, moderate prices, and friendly ser ' ice makes it convenient for Central- ites to take advantage of the cafeteria ' s atmosphere. However, the daily work of the kitchen staff is not com- pleted when all of the Centralites have been fed during the two lunch periods. There are always dishes to be washed, a kitchen to clean and put in order, the following day ' s menu to prepare, and supplies to be purchased. Members of Central ' s cafeteria staff were Catherine Hoper, Ardis Byrd, Ina Kennedy, Jennie Ingram, Nancy Markhand, Ann Battell, Marion Bartaway, Opal Brown, and Betty Hege. They were responsible for the fine food served daily. These science students use their study time to prepare their assignments during science class. CJD to Cease Operations Central ' s Junior Division, containing many of the young people who will become students at Central High operated for the last year during the 1965-66 school term. Central stu- dents will transfer to the new Memorial Park Junior High School next year. These students will remain there until their sophomore year, at which time they will come to Central High. Mr. Roger Pfieffer, principal of Central Junior Division, will also be the principal of the new school. He performed many important tasks for CJD during the year and he was ably assisted by his secretary, Mrs. Dougherty. Central ' s basketball squad won the city championship in their division, and the flag-footballers also had a good season. CJD ' s able teaching staff offered a well rounded curriculum for the students, one that would prepare them for their even- tual arrival at high school. Many of the teachers will also transfer to the new school. The weight of a liter of liquid was one of the experiments performed in science classes. Students worked together. CJD ' s basketball squad displays the trophy which they re- ceived for taking the eighth grade city championship. These CID pupils get assistance from their teacher. Mathematics is a difficult subject for these youngsters, but help is continually available to them. Parent Teachers Association Has Informative Meetings; Sponsors After- Prom Party; Helps Solve Many Problems Preparation — A Key to a Successful Future was the theme about which the activities of Central ' s Parent Teachers Association centered. In co-ordination with this topic, the meetings for the year discussed the preparation for the school year, for today ' s problems, for better health, for better under- standing between parents, teachers, and students, and how preparation in the past made the present possible. Various speakers were heard in connection with these im- portant topics, and a better relationship was established be- tween the teachers and parents. The talks enabled the parents and teachers to better understand and cope with the problems of the students. Officers were president, Mrs. Homer Long; first vice-presi- dent, Mrs. Lee Wilson; second vice-president, Mrs. Jack Wil- son; Secretary, Mrs. Vern Slagle; treasurer, Mr. Richard Horst- meyer; finance chairman, Mrs. Mel Dilworth; and members at large, Mrs. Andrew Barnes and Mrs. Victure Scruggs. Four meetings were held during the second semester as opposed to one that was held during the first semester. These parents confer on some of the more pressing issues concerning their children prior to the start of a PTA meet- ing. An amiable relationship between the parents and teachers provides for valuable assistance for the students. These women were officers of the Parent-Teachers Association. Mrs. Homer Long sen ' ed as president, Mrs. Md Dilworth as chairman of the finance committee, and Mrs. Lee Wilson as first vice-president. These women assisted in the functions of the PTA, From left to right are Mrs. Long, president: Mrs. Dilworth, chairman of the finance committee; Mrs. Wilson, second vice-president; Mrs. Joyner, Mrs, Slagle. secretary; and Mrs. Scruggs, a member-at-large.

How far you go in this space age depends partly on your imagination but primarily on your education and training. Conquering new horizons will demand more of today ' s graduates — more knowledge, more skills, more training and more specialization. Our Free Enterprise system, with its high living standards, gives you an oppor- tunity to shoot for the moon in any field.

Schlecht We would like to dedicate the 1966 Caldron to the memory of Edward L. Schlecht, former Dean of Students. In 1947, Mr. Schlecht came to Central as a mathematics teacher. After teaching for three years, he became Central ' s first Athletic Director. He served as Athletic Director until 1963 when he was appointed Dean of Boys. In 1965, Mr. Schlecht was promoted to the position of Dean of Students. This position appointed him as the acting principal when the principal is unable to be at school. Mr. Schlecht served Central in this position until his death Oct. 15, 1965. Central ' s students and faculty will cherish the memory of having been associated with such a fine person as Mr. Schlecht. .,N
