flaeucfenl' Wise-pawiicfenf Clarence Pico, noted for never having hair over one-half inch long, has been president of the senior class for the past year. He is a member of the National Honor society. Vice President Bill Greenwald is also in National Honor, and rated second place in the annual spelling bee this past year. He was the only person who griped because he could not be a candidate for Miss Central High. Secaelafuf Doing a good job as mother in the junior play, Seven Sisters, Julia Hobgood has also done an excellent job as class secretary. She is in NHS and has played a cello in the orchestra for three and one- half years. 7aea4wzea Being treasurer of the senior class was not the only way Doris Lasher served during her school years. She was also president of the Junior Red Cross and a Miss Central candidate. She, too, is in National Honor. president Clarence Pico Wishes Happiness and Success to Class The time has come when we are no longer struggling freshmen, but we now are sophisticated seniors, ready to go out in the wide, wide world. Before long, we will join the ranks of the graduates of Cen- tral high school. Just as other alumni, some of us will go to col- lege, some will get jobs, and others, in a short while, will be getting married. The goal of us all is to make our lives as much of a success as possible. There might be a few of our number who will attain fame, which is, as some wise person put it, chiefly a matter of dying at the right moment, and, undoubtedly, there will be some of us that will eventually become wealthy. But whether fame and fortune blesses the highway of our lives, or wheth- er we live in obscurity and poverty, we can, in any walk of life, be- come good citizens. Our four years in Central have given us the foun- dation for this achievement. Guidance is a main factor in the development of any group, and certainly our class has had some of the finest guidance obtainable, from our sponsor, Mrs. Lahr. I know I speak in voice with the entire class, in saying that our thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Lahr cannot be measured in voice or written word. Anything that could be written now would soon be an understatement, for as we grow older, we shall find that our gratitude to her will increase. The occasion will be rare when you will find a person who is more under- standing or more interested in the welfare of others, than is our sponsor. Sincerely, CLARENCE PICO. Mrs. Lahr, Sponsor, Says: Dear Class of 1949: Because you have been such an unusually friendly, coopera- tive, and reasonable class, my association with you has been a pleasure-one which I should like to prolong. Although I shall miss you greatly, I am glad for your sake that you are about to graduate from Central, and I wish for each of you a happy and contented life. This is a big wish, I know, but not an im- possible one for those who plan and work to accomplish it. Happiness and contentment are real achievements within the grasp of those who use, enjoy, and share what they have, for- getting what they have not. Sincerely, Mary Alana Lahr Page ww4pd'4 Meuage One hundred years ago there was a rush to California for gold. Today you are in another rush, a rush to get ahead in life. Central high school has tried to help youg to prepare you for the rush of 1949 and beyond. We are interested in your finding enough gold--or its equivalent-for your needs, but we are also, and even more, interested in how you conduct your gold rush. We want you to be industrious, cheerful, satisfied Spowioa Mrs. Mary Alana Lahr has served graciously as the class spon- sor for the past four years. She received her AB degree from Mount Holyoke college in South Hadeley, Massachusetts. 13 with your best, and ready and will- ing to get along with others and to join with them in making things better for everybody else as well as yourselves. We want you to be- lieve in your country as one to be cherished and preserved, to work for freedom everywhere and to dis- courage any group or organization that would place their selfish in- terests above the welfare of our community, our country, or our world. We want you to believe in peace rather than war and in the power of men of all races and all na- tions to keep peace and prevent war. We want you to live in an age of science and religion, for science without religion may de- stroy all of us. Keep your heads. Don't follow any leader too quickly, his pro- gram and promises. Beware of those who promise you everything for they may deliver nothing. And don't forget your high school sportsmanship in all the years to come. .Good Luck! CARL SHRODE, Principal. May 1949 Page by Lillian Schmitt
