Do other people really know who 1 am? To my parents. 1 am still a child. To my teachers, I am - well - a problem, challenge, a question mark, a grade, sometimes hope, and sometimes trouble. I am parts of many people. A teenager. But mostly adult and (I admit it) part child. Pieces of a puzzle that, 1 sometimes think, will never fit together uo U3 A teenager. . . U9 150 Patience and perseverance are qualities that appear in great men and women. With them the impossible can be realized. Although we have had many unfonunate situations, class of '77 I AM PROUD OF YOU. Congratulations, your impossibility is now a reality. Sincerely. Mrs. A. Lampley Senior Class Advisor Mrs. Yates joins with others in congratulating you on this memorable occasion. Your Yearbook reflects the many activities and experiences you have been a pan of during your stay here at Central High. It is hoped that the pages of this book will provide a vivid account of your high school years. The staff has endeavored to capture the social, cultural and academic spirit that one encounters here and preserve it in the '77 COG AND PEN. A yearbook in the making requires patience, cooperation and courage to meet the deadlines for publication. It was not always peaches and cream, but we made it. ENJOY IT!! Mrs. G. Yates Yearbook Advisor A special thanks to Mr. L. Allen the photographer for the Glamour Photographers Studio. A lot of time and patience was required to capture the beauty of the subject, you were quite successful in doing so. The senior class extends a hearty thank you. BOOSTERS EDNA MYHAND Annie L.
