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.

[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.
