Youth. Despite all these encumbrances, the invincible American boy and girl still answer the eight-thirty school bell, attend classes, and participate in curricular functions with the fervor and zest so necessary to progressive thinking. We rely upon their ever-surging vitality to improve the existing conditions, and to this promising light, the Youth ot America, we, the senior class of l94l, dedicate this copy of the Sphinx. 4'-'Jie gf Jggltmtedstate se lmlm ii A i ,iii .ii- ,igli ,Z-... .,.-,.,1i,,l1-3, , .-1.-,Q , V , , is , i E, ,, - Y- - -..1...1. fir-5 fg , 5 I- v , -,,, ' W- ' , ,, , ,,' -1,,l.. lr - 1,-i.Q...i - :.,..- , , Y- 12- 4 i-1 .- ,...1-, 1. .1.1.F,1l 541'-,..

Corbell Another school year is approaching its close, and only a lingering memory of persons and events is left in the minds of the various actors in an eventful school drama. We are all participants in this great play, some with major roles, some with only a line or two, it may be, but important none the less in the unity of a master production. lt matters less what part we played than how well we played our role. Since it is impossible to hold in memory very many of the happy incidents of any school year, a school yearbook was the logical outgrowth of a deeply-felt need. ln no other volume can we find so many reminders of happy events, interesting personalities, and strong friendships. The student body is ever changing, and it is only through the pages of written and pictorial presentation, that we are able to hold together for all time something of the atmosphere, spirit and school life of any year. Our teachers and students make it possible each year, through cooperation and industry, to preserve those invaluable benefits of school life that would otherwise be lost in obscurity. We pass this way but once and all join in making school history. For most of us this is very important history, and this importance will grow with the passing of the years. We commend the indus- try and ingenuity of our youthful editors in giving us this cherished volume, and deeply appreciate the faculty help in this useful production. O. M.

S. were opened Wide to us, three hundred and seventy-seven confused and frightened fresh- men. We were strangers in a strange land, but not for long. After we had been well in- formed about our new schedules, we attended a hilarious mixer where it was fun to meet and to know all our classmates, and teachers, too. Very soon some of us made places for ourselves in our high school. Among those Wanda Abrams Ernest Adams Daisy lane Addington Helen Armstrong Charles Bailey Bobbie Baldridge Harry Baldridge Iohn Barker Bobby Barr Viviun Barton Wilma Barton Harold Beals Ruth Beckmeyer Mary Becoat 23 with unusual musical talent were Betty Bond, Ada Cover, Douglas Wiehe, and La Vera Daum. We had our basketball players, too, -ten of them, with Rolla Malan as captain. Our twins, Kathleene and Katherine Ring, were attendants to the May Queen, and how charm- ing they were. But best of all, Novella Blasdel, Lucille Copple, Helen Feldhake, Ermogene Ful- ton, Lanora Listello, Roberta Morris, Mary Redus, and Robert Robinson achieved excel- lence in scholarship. Our freshman year was, indeed, a memorable year for most of us. l 4 l 1 l l l 1 l l l l 1 l l l l l l l l l l l 1 1 i FRESHMEN Eileen Behnen Harry Belcher Catherine Bell Imogene Berger Neil DeWayne Berry Betty Iane Besant Novella Blasdel Morris Ray Bogard Betty Rie Bond Bob Boston Leonard Britton Ella Bronson Frances Ianet Bronson Georgie Lee Browder Donald E.

Then, for the first time, We might sit in comfortable chairs in the library and occupy seats under the balcony during assem- blies. We quickly took our new places at C. T. H. S. Nancy Fox and Ella Mae Howell became page editors of The Sphinx newspaper. Our musical talent was represented by Margie Sparing, Opal Zack, and Sam I-leap. We had Vera Ieanne Addington Dolores Ainscough Gene Alcorn Paul Edwards Allen Renabelle Allison Evelyn Armstrong Eugene Arnold Duane Baumer lay Baysinger Mildred Beadle Iames Leo Belcher Aubrey Bell Bill Davies Ieanne Gansauer Iim Purdue Vice-President Secretary President athletes, too. Bob Wham and Vincent Schiffer- decker received football letters, Bill Davies was on the varsity basketball squadg Bob Boston, limmy Seyler, and Bernard Schifferdecker were outstanding track men. Popular vote selected Helen Hasemeier and Marilyn Skort to honor the May Queen during her reign. But Wait, just a minutel That is not all. Our class ranked high in scholarship, too. Among our best stu- dents Were Mary Cheniae, Ioan Goostree, Lu- cille McKinney, and limmy Seyler. Ours was certainly a class to be proud of.

We spent many a pleasant evening at ping pong, pinochle, and Chinese checkers, Sometimes we engaged in more active sports in the gym, such as basketball and volley ball. And, of course, a Cafeteria Club must eat, so we found much sociability in our pot-luck and chili suppers. Besides these activities, a Christmas party, With the singing of Yuletide carols, provided much fun and served as an excellent introduction to the holiday season, We have had such good times together that We regret the passing of time. Our sponsor, Miss Mae Stedelin, and our presi- dent, George Carpenter, have had no small part in helping to make our club one of the best in school.

G. A. A. Fun for fun's sake . . . that's our motto. The main purpose of the G.A.A. is to have more girls enjoying sports in a Wholesome atmos- phere Without do or die rivalry. We met every Wednesday afternoon to take part in team sports and Thursday evenings to play individual sports. We played soccer, basketball, volley ball, baseball, and indi- vidual sports. Eight of our members attended a play day at Greenville when GAA. clubs from different parts of the state met to engage in various games. We elected as our officers Mary Alice Scheriger, Florence Ballard, Bette Lou Neu- decker, and Mildred Beadle. Miss Edna Kirton, instructor in physical education, was our sponsor. 1 l v l l A HI-Y Have you noticed the boys around school who particularly enjoy their work because of their unselfish interest in others? Have you seen them pushing onward to a goal, encour- aged by their own personal faith in standards of right conduct? These are the Hi-Y boys. The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community high standards of Christian charac- ter. Always before them are the ideals of the four C's: clean living, clean sportsmanship, clean speech, clean scholarship. The group engaged in many social activi- ties during the year, among them being a hay- ride, a potluck, a barn dance, and a Christmas party. The sponsors were Mr. Adams and Mr. Klohr. The officers were Don Wham, presi- dentg Edwin VVilkin, vice-president, lack Frank, secretary, Harold Pennock, treasurer, and Phil Corbell, chaplain.

COMMERCIAL CLUB Among the many organizations in our high school is a new one known as the Commercial Club, organized for and by students primarily interested in commercial subjects, such as typ- ing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. The purpose of this club is to give the students a wider, more detailed knowledge of the intricacies of the complex business world and an apprecia- tion of the necessity for thorough preparation in business courses. To qualify for membership, a student must be enrolled in at least one commercial subject, either' in the high school or in junior college, and must be passing in three subjects. The two senior officers were Margaret Sligar, presi- dent, and Marjorie johnson, secretary. junior officers were LaDeen Hasenfuss, vice-president, and Thelma johnson, assistant secretary. The club sponsors were Miss Thelma Phillips and Mr. Howard Sharp.

EL CIRCULO CASTELLANO Ayl Chili con carnel Que sabrosal Yes, the chili at our Christmas party was delicious. Games and Spanish songs, too, added to the merriment of the evening. Another high point of the club program was the annual Mexican Fiesta held during the last month of school. At our regular meetings we learned a great deal about life in Spanish countries. Much of our attention this year we directed also to a study of the civilization and customs of Mexico and South America. Besides these more serif ous things, we always found time to sing songs of Spain and Mexico. lack Root proved a very efficient president, Regina Skuteris served us well as vice-pres? dent, and Bessie Deley as sceretary. Marian Gudder was our pianist and Neil Puffer our Sphinx reporter. The most difficult task our officers had was to conduct the meetings in Spanish, This experience, however, proved beneficial to them and at times amusing to the rest of us. After a whole year of fun and education, do you wonder that we consider our Spanish Club the best in school?

FOREIGN CORRESPCNDENCE CLUB Did you ever stop to think what a thrill it would be to receive a letter from Australia, Africa, England, Ireland, or some other far- away part of the world? Many of the members of the Foreign Correspondence Club have ex- perienced just such a thrill. Most of the letters have been received from South America, and were written in both Spanish and English. The English used by these students was often better than that used by our own. The primary purpose of this club was to promote friendlier relations with our world neighbors. However, through the exchange of pictures, newspapers, stamps, and many other things, much has been learned about life in the countries from which they came. The club was open to all high school stu- dents, whether taking a foreign language or not. The club had thirty-four regular mem- bers this year. The officers were president, Bessie Deley, vice-president, Roberta Morris, secretary, Regina Slcuteris. sig: , i Top Row: PatGettings,foycepfeffer, Louise Lincoln, Helen Hasemeier, Wadean Foster, Bernadette Pes- kind, Ann Perrine, Betty Townsv ley.

Would you ever believe that this is the photog- rapher's third attempt to take it? But perhaps our inability to stand still was due to the fact that We energetic players were eager to get back to our game. And what games we did havel Those girls who had never played tennis before were taught by our sponsor, Miss Huck, and soon they were able to enter the tournament along With the best. During the Winter We played on Mondays and Fridays in the gym, and on pleasant days on an outdoor court, provided by the generosity of the Gam- bills. We had many a good time together, but any club would have counted their year enjoyable with a fine group of officers like Nancy Gambill, Helen fennings, foyce Pffeffer, and Madeline Garrison, l'lt's a good racket. That's what members say of the Tennis Club. ln the spring you will find these boys on our local tennis courts racketing to victory-or defeat. For that is the time When they pick a team from their midst to represent C. T. H. S. in an inter-scholastic tournament. Organized to promote an interest in tennis, the Tennis Club had eleven members. ln the fall and spring they conducted a tournament among themselves. During the Winter they practiced in the gym. At one time they jour- neyed to St. Louis to see a professional tennis match. Mr. Huck, the sponsor, helped the boys perfect some of the more difficult shots and made the Tennis Club a source of interest and enjoyment for all. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The C. T. H. S. chapter of the Future Farmers of America enjoyed another year of fun and education. They started by electing their offi- cers at the close of school last spring. Charles Dailey was elected president, and Robert Car- penter, lvan fohnson, Thomas Gott, and Clar- ence Woolbright were chosen as the other officers. The F. F. A. boys were very successful at the fairs this year. They brought back several ribbons and cash prizes from the crops fair, held at Carlyle, and the livestock fair at High- land, They organized judging teams and sent them to the state judging contest. The teams participated in both the crops and livestock divisions. Among the good deeds accomplished by the P. F. A. this year were the planting of trees , 41 and shrubs on the campus and the testing of milk and soil for several farmers, The boys tuned up their shooting eyes this spring at the expense of the crows, hawks, bluejays, and other harmful pests. A metal cup was given to the boy who killed the most pests. To keep in good condition for their farm work and contests, the boys organized base- ball and basketball teams. Cf all the F. F. A. activities, however, the two trips to the Ozarks were regarded as the most outstanding events. The trips were made during the spring and summer vacations. The boys camped on the Current River. Fishing, swimming, rifle practice, and exploring caves kept them pretty busy all week. So you see there is always fun and educa- tion for F. F. A. members.

By singing, talking, playing games, and listening to Mrs. Gerould, we learned many things. One of our special meetings was a potluck in which all the foods were typically French. Sonnets could have been written about the spaghetti with olives, and the long, unwrapped loaves of bread and the little candies made us wish we were Frenchmen. Besides eating, we made projects. Some made alphabet books with cut-out mag- azine pictures using the French name. Some dressed French dolls. Still others sketched dresses of certain periods in French history. These were shown at a tea for our mothers. It was indeed a busy and worthwhile club, so au revoir till next September. - ,Y First Row: Barbara Clarida, loan McMillan, Margaret Nell Root, Patty Stophlet, Kathryn Smithey, Claribel Rich, Mary K.

ROMAN CLUB S. P. Q. R. No, this is not a secret societyg it is the name of our Roman Clubg it means the Senate and the Roman people. The only requirement for membersip in this organization was that one be interested in Rome and the Romans. Almost twenty new members were initiated this year. At our meetings members dramatized ancient Roman ghost stories, re- ceived fortunes from spirits of the dead, and offered sacrifices to the mythical gods. The club program for the year reached its climax, however, when a Roman wedding was pre- sented for the student body. This was worked out by the club members, assisted by students from the Latin classes and their sponsor, Miss Seidel. This ambitious group also made Cen- tralia a member of the funior Classical Society of Illinois.

This enthusiastic organization was formed by C. T. H. S. movie lovers, with Martha Rose Merritt as president. During the year its members visited projection rooms and learned what made the little reels go around. This group also sponsored 'land of Liberty, a movie that every American had to see. An enthusiastic debate on the subject of abolishing double features was the prin- cipal attraction at one of their regular meet- ings. But Photoplay Club members had their social affairs, too, and they were gala occa- sions. The theater manager, Mr, Gallagher, was the honored guest at the Christmas party to which all members came as noted movie stars and were famous for a night. PEP CLUB Orange crush, lemon ice, shoot 'em once, shoot 'em twice. Can't you just hear the Pep Club girls behind those yells? Yes, they are rooting for the best team in the state this year. But that's not alll They have sponsored many activities, among which are the selling of li- cense plates with team schedules, pictures of our basketball heroes, the 'Tourney News, and C. T. H. S. emblems and pennants. Besides this, when tournament time rolled around, they dressed up our cheer leaders in beautiful new cardinal and white uniforms. And why shouldn't this group have been active-with such leaders as Wahneta l-leyduck, Evalyn Dennison, and Eileen Bourne? Let's show our appreciation, right now, of their school loyalty and enthusiasm by yelling with them.

JUNIHH IHHSS Nancy Gambill Dwight Eddlemcm Grace Kinsey Barbara Cluridcx Secretary President Vice-President Treasurer Between the year of fright and bewilder- ment, the typical beginning year, and that year which means graduation, there comes that period of great fun and excitement, filled with rich experiences-the junior year. By this time the average high school student fully recognizes the traditions of the school, which have become almost sacred, and he feels him- self a part of every corridor, every activity, and every detail in the usual custom of the school. To most of us the prom loomed on the May horizon as the biggest event of the year. To make this occasion a memorable one, many of our girls worked untiringly selling refresh- ments at the games. While some of us were selling candy and ice cream to sport fans, one of our juniors helped the other cheer leaders spur our team on to victory. Still other junior girls found opportunities for recognition in our colorful May pageant. Elizabeth Bowen and Ada Frances Cox were honored most, when they were chosen to attend the queen during her reign. But waitl just a momentl The junior boys have not been without recognition this year either. Dyke Eddleman, our well-known basketball star, who brought fame and glory to himself and our high school, is one of our crowd. Robinson, Krutsinger, Brown, and Nichols showed their athletic powers in any number of games this year, too, lndustrious Bill Nichols was Mr. Trout's faithful secretary. We also have on our membership list two excellent photographers. Boy Gordon and Alden Perrine. Together they have taken many of the pictures which you see in this book. This class claims many popular musi- cians, too. Do you know Norma lean Carter, Dorothy Stonecipher, Margaret Gilley, the Allison twins, john Westman, Thelma johnson, and Betty Erwin? Ver'a Creed, Grace Kinsey, Bernadette Peskind, Constance Seibel, and Dorothy Stone- cipher boast of straight A report cards for the first semester. That is an accomplishment indeed for anyone. The class officers, chosen by popular vote, filled their respective positions well. The sponsors of this class, Miss Berry and Mr. Montgomery, are worthy of praise for their patience and kind cooperation throughout the year.

Trout has been the guiding light of Centralia athletic teams for the last twenty-seven years. This bald, Bible-quoting economist is con- sidered the dean of Illinois high school coaches, and many of the experts claim that he is the finest high school coach in the country. His basketball teams have Won over sixty different championships. Among these have been one Missouri Valley Title, three Pontiac Invitational Tournaments, and two state championships. Coach Trout's l936 football team was named the mythical state champions, being considered the finest coached team in the state, and in molding the Wonder Five basketball team of l94l into one of the greatest high school teams the state has ever known, Coach Trout again merited the title of a truly great coach.

Farrel Robinson Ioe Weber Ray Owensby Bill Davies Fred Pearson V--- I SPHINH Sllllllll This year, track has taken on new impor- tance at Centralia. The Big Seven Conference has established a round-robin in track just as it has in football. In this manner every school has a dual meet with each member of the Conference. This new set-up gives more boys from each school a chance to show their prog- ress in the spring sport. Point winners like Dyke Eddleman, I. D. Beynolds, foe Weber, Bay Owensby, the half- mile twins, Burton Butts and limmey Seyler, and Bob Michael are responsible for the Lutz- men being in second place in the Conference. Only the thin-clads from West Frankfort have been able to defeat the Bedbird tracksters up to date. Bob Michael and Dwight Eddleman went to Wheaton to participate in one of the best meets in the northern part of the state. Al- though Coach Lutz has only two men back this year who made the trip to the State Meet last year, he hopes to have a number' of men to qualify at the District Meet at Bridgeport. f 68 l, Hlltll' Sllltll The boys of C. T. H, S. are not alone in their interest in sports, many of our girls are very much interested, too, and if you don't believe us, look out on the athletic field these pretty spring afternoons and see them at play. The modern American girl has learned to devote a share of her time to healthful recrea- tion found in such sports as softball and volley loall. When the weather doesn't permit out- side sports, our girls play talole tennis, deck tennis, and loadminton. They have a lot of fun playing an occasional game of good, fast ping-pong.

And what a classl We have everything from ath- letes to musicians to offer. lack Klosterman, an all-around athlete, was chosen to be on the all-state football team this year, and all four of our class officers were prominent mem- bers of the squad. Four boys of Coach Trout's Wonder Five basketball team are members of our class. Bonnie Bronson, one of our pretty seniors, was chosen May Queen, and her senior attendants were Helen Fern Perkins and Shirlee Chiavario. Margaret Nell Boot, that active little senior who is always busy at something, had charge of the Everygirl's ban- quet this year, and a fine job she did, too. The Hi-Y boys elected Don Wham their presi- dent, and they did excellent work with their book shop. Oh, yes, we have lots of good students, too. A few of the outstanding ones are Margaret Sligar, Betty Bay, George Baker, Verona War- skow, facqueline Vaughn, and Dorothy Becker. Then there is Kenneth Byrd, the poet of the class, and Paul McBill and Evelyn Whitehouse, the artists. Besides, We have excellent musi- cians on our class roll. Carlene Hazel leads the parade with her lovely contralto voice, with which she has won many contests, and has entertained the student body in assemblies throughout the year. Everybody knows, of course, how well Bob Dickinson struts before the band and how beautifully Dick Pick plays the clarinet. We are grateful to our sponsors, Miss Spurlin and Mr. Adams, for helping to prepare us for this venture. They have kept us on the beam all year. The motors are going full force now, and we're leaving behind our high school days, but were moving for- ward with confidence that we can meet whatever lies ahead of us.
