Keep in step! Listen to the music! l've waited a long time for to- day, thirteen years exactly. And now I'm actually graduating. It really hasn't seemed too long, though, and it's been a lot of fun, particularly this last year. All these senior activities have made this year more outstand- ing than any of the others. The first exclusive senior activity was the elections. Those nominating conventions were certainly noisy. And all that campaign- ing-posters, blackboard blurbs, announce- ments-put everyone in the mood and feeling grew tense before the officers, Doug Miller, president: Bill Shafton, vice president: Gloria Tarrant, secretary: and Darwin Detlefs, treasurer, were finally announced. The Senior Banquet and Prom we1'e a high spot in the year, too. A lot of hard work and high-pressure sales talks went into the banquet. The lunchroom was decorated and the banquet, complete with toastmaster, speeches, and all the trimmings, was held there. After the banquet, which was formal, we went to the prom in the gym. Seniors were allowed to bring outsiders and underclassmen if guest tickets were arranged for. Our class seemed to hit hard luck all the GLASS way through. After several weeks of rehear- sals, the plans for the class play were blasted by the loss of the two leading men. Because of the wartime schedule of many colleges, it was necessary for them to graduate and leave early to register for the new semester. For this reason they planned Senior Day and then, because of a blizzard, it had to be postponed. But finally, the weather cleared and we were able to have Senior Day. The Seniors all looked so serious and dignified Wearing their caps all day. It made one realize that the time was getting short. We had charge of the assembly that day. A prediction of what the graduates would be doing in 1953,was worked up in a humorous way and yet, made one think a little about what was actually going to happen. Yes, we've had a lot of fun, but it has been sad, too. Being in the limelight, exchang- ing cards and pictures, we've enjoyed every minute but when one realizes that it's all over, one feels pretty sad. Around baccalaureate and commencement time one sees a few sad faces mixed with the smiles. Well, that's the last name so here we go--The 1943 Mid-Year Class. .-1 Q..

GRADIIATIUN 0F SENIURS Three years is, in reality, a short period of time, but to the seniors at Central High, it is three years crammed full of excitement, hard work, good times and memories. What senior could ever forget all those nights of burning the midnight oil, and cramming for tests, all the suspense before such events as class elections and class play, and every six weeks, receiving the report cards. The first two years aren't. nearly so ex- citing as the last. year, as most seniors will agree, but in the senior year, there is so much to be done, and so many activities to carry on, that there is hardly time for a senior to do everything he wants to. Many seniors are on the courtesy committee, others work in the library, on the school newspaper staff, the Record, or on the Maroon and White Annual staff. A great many of the seniors belong to clubs and various organizations which almost completely fill their spare time. When it is time for class play try outs there is always a lot of questioning and sus- pense: Who's going to get the lead ? Did he get a part? Do you think I will? All of these questions are buzzing through the halls until the day comes to announce the cast. There are six seniors, out of each class, three boys and three girls, who are chosen as All For Central . They are chosen for their outstanding abilities, the activities in which they have participated, and their popularity in school affairs. Nearly every senior that wishes to, has the privilege of taking swimming at the Y. VV. C. A. during sixth period, one day a week. Seniors are the only students that are per- mitted to do this, so they have an advantage over the other classes. Then comes the event ofthe year-grad- uation! To nearly every senior, graduating is one of the most important and thrilling times of his life. The busy, bustling days be- fore the close of the semester seem unending. The seniors must be measured for their caps and gownsg they must practice marching in the Maud , they must prepare the senior ban- quet and all such things that always are nec- esary to be done before graduation. The last day of school finally comes and all the seniors wear their caps throughout the entire last day of school-known as Senior Dayn. This one day, along with the haccalau- reate and commencement exercises, will al- ways be prominent in the memories of their exciting high school days. -9-
