With a theme “Grand Central Station’” and Emcee’s Tom ‘Terrell and Chuck Ballow, the show was well received by the student body who swarmed at the chance to get out of class and view the native talent. The show reaped $732. The money was used, this year, for various Student Council projects including such things as the ‘D.P. Whitley Scholarship, Sophomore Orientation, and the purchase ‘of the two bison. The talent show was such a great success that there are hopes that it will be- come atradition at Central.

ALL SMILES FOR In an attempt to mold tradition with changing times, the Junior and Senior classes decided to have a Prom this year. Because of a lack of student interest, the Prom had been discontinued for sev- eral years, but the officers of the respective classes felt that the interest had been revitalized and, by the looks of things, they were right. Planning for the event began far in advance with such monumental tasks as choosing a band, finding a site, and deciding on a menu. There was a great deal of hard work involved in the prepa- ration, but as the fateful day drew nearer, it all began to seem worth it. The dinner-dance was held on the evening of Friday, May 10, at the TOP OF THE MART. The featured entertainment was Cut Glass, providing an abundance of rock, ““oldie-goldie’’, and soul. To the students of Central, the year was full of memories; and for many of them, the 1974 Prom had to be one of the best. THE PROM BELOW — Couples arrive, impatient to get on the dance floor.

— Facelift for Central What was a most noticeable change here at Cen- tral? There were, of course, several; but this one doesnt’t take long to spot. Right! The windows. This year, students and faculty alike were happily sur- prised by the fact that Central was receiving new windows. Although their reward was great, sacrifices were paid to get these luxuries installed. Teachers shouted assignments and students strained to hear them asworkmen hammered away. The old windows were replaced primarily because they allowed too much heat to escape from the building. The new windows are tinted and break-resistant. They took nearly a year to install but add a new dimension to that beautiful tradition which has always been Cen- ‘NEW BIKE RACK The bicycle rack served as a parking lot for the bikes of many students at Central who found pedaling to school a most economical, ecological, and enjoyable experience. The idea was originated by students, during the gas shortage, to help conserve gas as well as protect our environment. As gas became more available and the weather became more unbearable, the number of riders dwindled. BELOW LEFT — Lou Ann Suggs and Tina White wait impatiently in line.

When every girl you see is wearing a pastel blouse and the apparel for guys is COAT AND TIE!!!, then it’s a sure sign that school pictures are being taken. Late August days brought photographers and their cameras to capture the beauty of Centralites. A new addition — identification cards were distributed.
