Four years ago, early one morning on the second day of September, 1952, the faculty of Centralia High School were strolling aimlessly through the cor- ridors, and chatting about the just-ended vacation and wondering whether there would be any startling or drastic changes. Turning a corner they caught a glimpse of something new and strange. Just inside the front door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, were the members of what became the class of 1956. To the casual eye, they seemed merely a group of ordinary boys and girls, well dressed, reason- ably good-looking, and badly frightened, but to the trained eyes of these dauntless and experienced ex- plorers, these strangers seemed distinct and widely separated individuals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies and capabilities decidedly worth finding out. Gently attempting to dispel the fears of the strangers, the faculty bade them enter and spend the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friendship. They succeeded after great difficulty in accomplishing this. The discoverers of the class of i956 will be celebrated in history for the gentleness and courtesy they displaced toward these strange beings they so curiously encountered on September, 1952. The discovery having been reported to the ruler of the high school Principal, Mr. Hinton, he received the news of this remarkable acquisition to his territory with marked delight and a few misgivings. He examined with interest the trophies presented by the strangers to their discoverers. Among these trophies were report cards bearing signs supposed to denote the degree of mental alertness possessed by the owner and to show his possibilities as a future citizen of our country. Accordingly, each of the discoverers became an explorer. The strangers were divided into small groups and assigned to the care of the different explorers. They were given a name, Freshmen , and became a part of life of the school. They were taught many new, strange customs and manners and were required to learn difficult lessons. At first they often wished they had never been found, but before a year was over, they became thoroughly at home in their new surroundings. The most unpleasant thing about this Freshman year was the contempt in which they were held by those' who had been residing ln the school for a longer period than they. However, understanding that this was a custom of the country they ignored it. The Freshmen became interested in strange new exercises called basketball and football and attained a slight degree of progress in each. Much information was gained by the exploring faculty in this first year regarding the members of the Freshmen class. Their intellects were found to vary in keenness from sponges to razors: but, on the whole, they turned out to be very satisfactory, and some were a source of great joy to their explorers. With the coming of the next September they received a new name. Because of their skill in acquiring the customs of the school, they were renamed Sophomores. The social functions of this period were delightful, the most important being the initiation of the Fresh- men. CLASS HI TORY fcon'tJ In the third year, owing to an old educational custom, the Sophomores became Juniors, and their promotion made their sense of importance increase out of all due proportion. This was a year of hard work. The teachers had endeared themselves to the hearts of the class, and there was a feeling of genuine friendship throughout the school. And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the class. They automatically las was their custom in many thingsj became Seniors in September. When the gaining of this title they began to take themselves more seriously than ever before. As the year drew to a close they were positively dizzy with dignity. The organization of the Senior Class was noteworthy, the following list of officers being in charge: President-Willard Kuhn. Vice-President-John Meeker, Secretary-Wanda Chester, Treasurer-Jack Greenwalt, Reporters-Donna Chaffin and Carl Shaw. At the expiration of the four years, the superintendent expressed himself as greatly pleased with the additions to his country and pronounced them all highly eligible for admission as citizens. By way of appropriate celebration, a strange ceremony, known as commencement, was held. Written by: Sherry Allen Maye Jones Wanda Chester THE FIRS T MILE The first mile of life they knew had come, As they hurried gaily through the door one by one. Their small footsteps clamored through the hall, Their voices laughing. calling to all. Then slowly and surely their bodies grew, And their minds learned all that was exciting and new. They learned to laugh: they learned to love, As the years flew by with a gentle, but pushing shove. Then all too soon with outstretched hand, They took the hour glass with it's last grain of sand, It was with joy they went, but did I see the Senior bow his head, To hide those tears he had just shed. With one of life's greatest lessons learned, The door is closedg the key is turned. The Senior lingers with aching heart for awhile: Then walks away looking for that second mile.

CLASS COIDRS: Green and Gray CLASS PRGPHECY OF 1956 Many years have passed by and it is now the year 1976. During that period there has been a great war and disastrous depression. Instead of progress going forward it has turned back until it is comparable to 1876. I decided to leave my home town in the East and travel westward. As I reached Eldorado I decided to write to the folks back home. I took my letter to the pony express office where I discovered that Sherry Allen owned half interest in it because she was the only person who could teach those horses how to run. I was walking down the street and decided Iwas hungry, so I headed for the nearest place to eat, which happened to be the saloon. The posters on the outside stated that the stars were the Mademoiselles Patricia and Mary. When I walked through the door I discovered they were Mary Curtis and Patsy Atwood. I left the saloon and continued to the General Store to buy a souvenir. In front of the store I ran into Mr. and Mrs. Bill Magill, the former Donna Chaffin. We went into the store together and as we were waiting for the boy to take our order, Donna informed me that the store was owned by John Weaver who is also county judge. He is now presiding over a trial. I decided while I was out west that I would visit the Indian Reservation. As I was crossing the desert I ran into an old prospector with his mule. He turned out to be John Meeker, alias Grub- stake . While I was talking to John, a peddler approached. The gentleman, if that is what you want to call him, was none other than my old school mate, Carl Shawg better known now to some people as Bo the Peddler. I finally reached the reservation a few hours later. I will bet no one could tell me who I saw teaching the Indians how to shoot the bow and arrow. It was none other than Jack Greenwalt. He told me that he learned to be an expert from Mr. Fred Schiff's training in 1955. During my stay I ran into another old friend of mine. It was Clinton Holbrook. He was teach- ing the Indians how to milk a cow. He told me he got this wonderful idea from Mr. Sunderland while studying vocational agriculture at Centralia. From the Indian Reservation I went to a little town called Del Rio. Here I met my old buddy Terry Frey. Terry is a very influential man in this section of the country. He owns one of the largest cattle ranches in the state of Texas. He took me up town with him where I met Harold Boyer. Harold is U. S. Marshall of this dis- trict. I hear he is on a smuggling case right now. They suspect that Gary Cooper is behind it, but they can't find enough proof to hang him. I said they because also working on the case is that old Pinkerton Detective Willard Kuhn. Willard is one of the top men in his field, along with Harold Qfflrrl, W if-H213 n '.',,4js.' CLASS PROPHECY icon'tJ The man about town and the favorite of all the youngsters is Ronald beasure. His secret is that he is trying to get that old game of pingpong bouncing again. Since Del Rio was having their annual county fair, I thought I might just as well mosey over and go through it. The first thing I heard was someone yelling Kisses, only one-dol1ar . When I saw who it was my eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. It was none other than Phyllis Seymour running that kissing booth. Knowing that Don Herron also lived in this town I asked Phyllis where he was. She told me that Don was in Philadelphia helping the top men of the country patch the Liberty Bell. I thought I had better leave Del Rio and head for home. I bought a newspaper to read while I was waiting for the stage. Right on the front page it said, Rona1d Uhrig, heir to billion dollar industry, gets divorce from loth wife and is looking for prospect No. Il. While waiting to cross the Mississippi River I noticed a showboat being built. Being interested in showboats I walked over. Looking over the building of the boat was Charlene Neff, who is Mrs. Don Holdren. She told me that they own the largest showboat on the River. She also told me that Wanda Chester is now the Queen of the Showboats. Iwent aboard Char1ene's boat and to my sur- prise I saw Maye Jones sitting behind a table dealing out the cards for a game of poker. She is the head dealer on Char1ene's boat. I went down the river to New Orleans where I ran into Donna Pritchard getting off the boat from Rome, Italy. She tells me she has been writing poetry. Her most famous work is The First Mile. I then started homeward once again. About a half a mile from home my horse looked a little ill. I took her to the nearest veterinarian, who to my surprise turned out to be Patty Hafer. Patty, by the way, is one of the foremost veterinarians in the country. Her able-bodied assistant is Lloyd Prickett who is one of the finest male nurses in the country. I then finished my trip home and intend to spend the rest of my days in my little log cabin on the hill. Written by: Charlene Neff Willard Kuhn John Meeker Carl Shaw fl gs' if f EMC Q X X X W f ? Z?
