Fall brings a new look to Central s former campus as buildings partially composing Flint's Cultural Center spring up. tyall it jini. the. tte.aA With the coming of the new term, the excitement of the pigskin, and the aroma of burning leaves in the air there is no need to announce that it is fall. Fall is synonomous with dazed sophomores wandering about the halls, fresh unsharpened pencils, pink unsmudged erasers, and the challenge of an immaculate notebook with all the pages yet to be written upon. To Ccntralites the mention of fall suggests predominantly the traditional Thanksgiving game with the preceding bon- fire and pep rally, and the Kaleidoscope, an annual variety production. “A World of Things , the theme for this year's Kaleidoscope, propelled its audience around the world, stopping at principal points of interest. However, this fall of 1957 had some unique connotations of its own. It meant fitting an enrollment of 2,969 students into a school originally built for 1800. Of great interest was the sprouting up of several buildings on our campus which will partially compose Flint’s future cultural center. Also under construction was Central’s new addition which will consist of soundproof music rooms with storage space, a kitchen, an auto shop, an engine laboratory, and a woodshop. The earth turns around the sun, bringing fall to us; fall begins our year. It’s hard to tell which end is up in this photo.

As the earth turns in its orbit around the sun, passing through the four seasons — autumn, winter, spring, and summer — another year of growth and progress unfolds. In this International Geophysical Year 1957 - 1958 have come new explorations into the vast space around us. With the development of space satellites, including the recent United States Explorer and the prior Sputniks of Russian origin, there also comes the promise of future satellites and the hope of greater progress than the human mind has heretofore conceived. The whole earth has turned its attention in this International Geophysical Year to areas hitherto un- explored and hitherto unexplorable. We the students of this earth have consequently enlarged our borders, increased our understanding of phenomena around us, and exhibited our curiosity about the unknown as these new developments have unfolded to us. So it is with life at Central. Day by day, season by season, throughout this past year of 1957-1958 all the phases of school life — academic, recreational, cultural, and social — have brought to each of Central’s students knowledge and experience that have enlarged his borders, increased his understanding, lifted his hope, and inspired newf developments. We have related these activities to you in this 1958 Prospectus event by event, beginning in the autumn, progressing season by season, throughout the school year— AS THE EARTH TURNS Autumn ............................... 14 Winter ............................... 56 Spring................................ 86 June ..................................114

“We're out to burn them! whooped the gang at the Indian Pow Wow preceding the annual Turkey Day game. The traditional crowd was in extra good voice as they let loose during the Thanksgiving Day game. The harmony was slightly dis- cordant, but the spirit was vivacious. A common fall occurrence — the dash to West Wing in the rain. Hang onto that ball! Fullback Larry Dreasky drives for extra yardage to add to the excitement of Central’s football season. Program sales add momentum to the rising spirit and anticipation preceding the traditional Thanksgiving game.
