CLASS HI TURY 4 BY- GAIL KELCY There are always certain goals and dreams that every student in his life time reaches for. He strives to reach them in many different ways. As we, 769 sophomores, walked through the main entrance of Central High School in September 1971 , we were thrilled at the new experiences of high school and adulthood that we would soon encounter. We were to face incidents, both frustrating and rewarding, good times and bad times. Yet we walked on always looking ahead. During our three years at Central we were the only class to have three different principals to lead us. In our sophomore year, Mr. J. W. Hackett was our principal, truly a good leader. The man to guide us on our way was Mr. A. Frazier Curry our counselor. This was Mr. Curry's first year as a counselor at Central. Those of us who needed other help found oulrselves facing Mr. Arthur L. Roberts, and Mr. Joseph McPherson, our assistant prmcipa s. Then we were able to see that there was more to school than just going to class. We found interest in different organizations such as, Red Cross, Student Council, Youth Speaks, FBLA, FHA, Boosters Club, Drama, Year Book and Band. Representing our sophomore class as Miss CentraI's attendant was Gail Kelcy. September 1972 represented a new year and a new experience for our class. With 714 juniors, we moved on, this time with a new principal to lead us, Dr. Joseph A. Orr, a scholar with an earned Ph. D. from Florida State University . Our new assistant principal was Mr. Robert Butler. Realizing that progress was the name of the game Jacqueline Petty, Maria Pyles, Charlene Nash, William Harris, Alfred Johnson, Keith Talley, James Montgomery, Annette Dix, Antoinette Green and Clarissa Griffin were inducted into the National Honor Society. A new program, funded by, the General Electric Foundation was started to enable participants to take career education courses preparing them for immediate entry into technical and ap- prenticeship programs. The pioneers for this new program were Clyde Hall, George Ruff, Shebell Peak, Robert Halsell and George Greenhill. Keith Talley attended Northwestern University for five weeks . Keith was sent there by the COURIER JOURNAL and LOUISVILLE TIMES for journalism. Joan Stringer received a scholarship from Western University to attend summer school in a Junior Honors Pro- gram. She earned seven college hours. Representing another first for Central, our band attended band camp at Kentucky State University. Carolyn Robinson and Khoda Stone were Miss CentraI's junior attendants. Marla Boyd was attendant to the Homecoming Queen. 106
