MEEQMMEES Although Central suffered more defeats this year than ever be- fore, our games were characterized by the same that has come to be traditional with our school pop and enthusiasm . Much of the e - t for this goes to our cheer leaders, Bob Lehmer, Dale Ric Hole- McAninchQ and Geraldine Denman, who were chosen from about twen. 'five candidates early in the year. Whenever Gentral's spirits were dampened by overwhelming odds, it was this foursome that revived our hopes.
