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.

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.
