Our days of walking through the creaking halls of old Central High as students are finished but the memory will never fade. The years have passed so quickly and many now wish they could start all over again as freshmen and once more take part in the high school activities. It has been fun yellong for our team, fun arguing with other people over the possibilities of a football or ,basketball game. And now, when we think back, it was fun getting those lessons too. We are ready from these years? Caesar and all the to face the world. What have we gained Yes, it is true we have learned all about wars from the landing the Pilgrims. We have had pronouns, verbs and adjectives drilled into our heads. But the greatest lesson we have learned here at Central wasn't found in our algebra or history books and all we have learned from books will not help us through life. The greatest help to us has been the close contact with other students. all work- ing and pulling together. Senior Edition Gur Principals Message Your class has two distinctions that you can remember. namely: it is the largest class ever graduated from Central to date and secondly, it is,we believe the first class, at least in modern times at Central, to graduate more boys than girls. But your 410 members including many veterans can join the other,83 classes who have Class OF l9ll6 Presents Gifts On the stage of the Senior Tal- ent Assembly one of .the 1946 graduating classes' gifts made its is-the large new juke was presented to the assembly this morning. was presented to the debut. It box that school in This box school to be used for the matinee dances the students have after school. It can also be used for other dances and as entertainment for other gatherings. The second half of the annual Senior gift took more deliberation for selection. It was 16 potted palms for use as stage decora- tion, At the Easter .assembly and at other times when Central has had assemblies requiring scenery the palms have had to be rented. This useless expense and extra worry will no longer be neces- sary. Central will have attractive stage scenery on hand at all' times. These plants will be taken care of by Miss Matilda Pugh and her classes. These gifts will take their place among the many useful gifts left by Central's grad- uating classes. gone out from Central in a desire to make life better and to add something to your genera- tion's contribution to their day and time. Unless you have that desire for a better world you might as ulell have stopped going to school several years ago. It will be a great experience for you to live in a united world as you no doubt will live. You will have some adjustments to make in your thinking before you can en- tirely give up race prejudices and accept other nations as more or less equal. But that will be one of your greatest accomplishments in the next few decades. You are the firs-t class to entei high school after Pearl Harbor. You have experienced war and you should be eager to help maintain peace. We are proud of you as a great class with so many seasoned veterans among you. Central wants you to go on from this point and be happy and successful in your life work. The school is grateful to you for your contribution to the school in your many and varied activities. l I want to thank your offices, your sponsor Mrs. Dorothy Orwig, and the entire class for the fine spirit shown during these troubled four years school. And now Good Luck as you line up with a mighty host of Alumni going back nearly a hundred years. You will be in good company with the friends of Central High School. To Those Who Follow As the sands of time have dwindled and our time at Central has ebbed away we, the graduat- ing class of 146, pass on to our successors the clock of leadership in all school activities, for now it is time for us to go on to higher planes of endeavor. To those who will follow in our footprints across this page of Central's history we bequeath this administration, keep our trust. We have worked and strived to make our class and our school memorable. Now.we must go on to strive for an ever higher goal. Of you who follow, as ask, take up our tasks and love and serve even as we have tryed to do. In a short time you will stand where we now stand and listen, as we now do, to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Then you shall answer to us and to your- selves whether or not you have done your best to leave our school better than you found it. This is our trust. Keep it well. Central to Graduate 4lO StuclentsgLargest in School History Central5s Class of 1946 is made up of a .greater variety than usual of students. They did not come to ,Central all at once as did most of the other graduating classes. Some of our class members came up in eSptember of 1942, but not nearly al lof them began their high school career at that time. Many January graduates followed them in 1943 and by 'graduating in three and one-half years joined the class of '46. Also many of the Senior class are veterans of World War II who have been dis- charged and are coming back for their diplomas. This class is the largest ever to graduate in May, the first to receive the new diplomas and probably the first to graduate on a Wednesday night. ll Class Sponsors Messages It has been said again and again that you get out of an experience just as much as you put into it. It has been true in your high school ca- reer and will continue to be so in the future. God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. tEmerson's Essaysl. You are continually making a choice in your thinking, talk- ing and actingg it may seem that these choices consist of trivial matters 'which do not matter much one way or the other, but when you are-able to look back over a period of time you will be surprised to see how these apparent trifles fit into a huge jig-saw which becomes the pattern of your life. Do not be afraid to choose the difficult task, the cause that requires sourageous, in- dependent thinkingg the easi- est way, the path of repose , usually fails to bring satisfac- tion or happiness. Although you cannot gov- ern outside circumstances or events which affect you, you decide whether you will yield to discouragement, or benefit by the experience: if the lat- ter is your chice, the ver circumstance which troubles you will be a blessing in dis- guise. What happens is never a important as how you re- act to it.
