Roberta Morris, with the aid of Beebe Mitchell and Merle Rogers, pub- lishes the Annual, and Edward Dillon plays the competent editor of the SPHINX WEEKLY. lulia Hazzard portrays the role of Chairman of the Everygirl's in her inimitable manner. Musical background is furnished by singers Mary Becoat, Carl Hake, Bose Marie Hake, George Hanna, Bernice lones, Patricia Sherman, Betty Steinwax, and Io Ann Wright.

This beautiful edition emerges from our beloved high school during a year of crisis and world turbulence. Most of the people pictured Within these pages have not escaped the effects of the changing World. There is Miss Audrey Brandol an intriguing bond between those who once Walked these halls and those who play on this stage today and keep the record complete for the many who, though far away, cherish fond mem- ories of happy days and friendly faces of other years. They are happy in the thought that you students of 1943-44 are carrying on, that you can enjoy even in a war-torn World what they enjoyed, and that you are proud to perpetuate for them and for others to come the activities and traditions of C. T. H. S. These years and events serve to impress upon our students the great value of the heritage they en- joy. This book is a living symbol of the gratitude and appreciation our students feel and express for all the blessings and opportunities afforded by a benevolent and democratic gov- ernment which permeates the entire structure of our whole society. To you students and teachers who have Work- ed so untiringly to edit and preserve the War-days life of our school, the Superintendent expresses his deep thanks and appreciation. Sincerely yours, OSCAR M. CORBELL, Superintendent SEHHIH BHHHH Another school year at an endg an- other edition of the Sphinx Annual, an- other class of Seniors graduating from C. T. H. S. We all know that the school year has been a fine one and although faced with a faculty shortage, and with student enrollment smaller, you students have made this year that is ending a very memorable one in our long history. This Sphinx Annual speaks for it- self and its interesting pages record the fgct that even though this is the Slst such yearbook to come out of our school every annual staff is able to add their own particular mark to dis- tinguish their book from the ones which have gone before. This class of Seniors likewise will leave their distinguishing marks with those of our school who have worked with you during your four years here. However, their work will have been in vain if you do not make your mark Mrs. Barbara Huffman in the life which follows this last year in school. We are all very sure that you will accept your new respon- sibilities with the same zest that you have shown here in school and that the Class of 1944 is on the threshold of great things. I.

One ot, the most emphasized phases of our school year in l943-44 was the expanded sports program which Was put into operation by the C. T. H. S. athletic staff. Under ,Coach A. L. Trout, head of the athletic department, more stu- dents Were given opportunities to participate in body-building programs than ever before. Over two-thirds ot the students were enrolled in boys and girls gym classes taught on a stepped-up scale by Mr. limmie Evers and Miss Esther Palmer. With an oft year in varsity athletics, more boys were given a chance at competitive athletics and the annual class tournament, tumbling, Wrestling, and ju-jitsu events kept our school ranking high among those building our youth strong that they might better serve their country.

HHIIlIllIlS SHHW HHIlIIl IMllIlllVlMlNl Speaking in terms of scores, the football season at Centralia high this year was rather an unsuccessful ven- ture. But in terms of experience, the gridiron campaign was of great value. The inexperienced eleven of Coach Trout developed into a fine team and offered stiff opposition to all foes, de- spite the fact they were edged out in Weight and maturity in every contest. Without the services of any regu- lars, Trout moulded a team that turn- ed in a good performance in every game, though one victory was all they could manage on a nine game chart. Sophomores loe Geilhausen and Wesley Fetgatter sparked the backfield, While the defensive Wall was built around Don Heyduck, all- conference center. Bright spot in the '43 football sea- son Was the experience gained by many underclassmen on the first two teams who Will be back to form the nucleus of future C. T. H. S. elevens.

But in future years the experience gained by this year's young team will undoubtedly pay big dividends. Coach Trout lost his entire team last season and faced a choice of scheduling Weak teams or finishing with a poor Won-lost record. As it turn- ed out, the best teams in the state-including the title Winning Taylorville quint-appeared on the local schedule. The record itself, 24 losses and six Wins, is not encouragingg but eleven members of the HA squad Will be back next year, veterans of a tough season, We are indeed proud of our cagers because of their fine spirit and determination to Win. They put up good clean opposition in every ap- pearance, the value of a basketball campaign cannot be measured in the scores of games won or lost. B SQUAD SRD.

The boys re- turning from last years squad are: Lake, Wilson, and Gielhausen in the dashes, Fetgatter and l-leyduck, quarter mile and hurdles respectivelyg and Conner with the pole vault all to himself. ln the high jump Osborn will be back and Wilson will handle the broad jump. Half miler Morris Bogard is a repeater, and Shifferdecker will put the shot While White heaves the discus. Burris, who Was on the frosh relay team last year, will be on hand again this season. Garrett and Phillips, dependable milers, and O'Polka, a re- turning hurdler, round out the list of lettermen. Anderson, Schnake, Rogers, lackson, and McCullough Will all be out for track and may prove useful. As to the freshman relay team, it remains to be seen who will earn a berth on it. 63 tilts HND Realizing that girls are playing an important part in the War, Miss Palmer kept our girls' physical education classes running at top speed this year. Not only do the girls receive training to build sound bodies but also to develop poise and co- ordination Which are important throughout the girls' lives, no matter What they do. Calisthenics formed a large part ot the girls' routine, but competitive sports were played with avid interest. Several basketball teams were torm- ed, and the all-girl games rivaled our tournaments in thrills. ln tact, our P. E. classes developed enough sharpshooters to Win again first place in both the district and state-Wide basket shooting contest, This year the boy's physical education program in our school Was stepped up considerably in ac- cordance with Army and Navy requirements so that boys entering the armed forces should be phy- sically tit. HHYS IWHFUHM Assistant Coach limmie Evers, as head of the boys gym classes, kept the department running in high gear. Competitive sports and calisthenics played an important part in the body building pro- gram. Combative athletics, included boxing, Wrestling, track, basketball, and tumbling were offered. Since the emphasis was on getting stronger instead of trying to excell in one sport, no special attention was given any one sport, but the fundamentals of each Were thoroughly stressed. An obstacle course much like those used in mili- tary training was constructed and proved an im- portant phase of the boy's training. The classes this year consisted of nine differ- ent sections. One section had tive days of gym each Week, one class had three days While the rest had two Workouts each Week. Approximately 360 were enrolled in the various sections, meaning that tour-fifths of the boys at C.T.H.S. received the ad- vantages of a complete body building program.

An important lesson that young people should learn is self denial. 9 Your parents have been obliged to deny themselves many things in order to give you an education and if you enter college their home economy must increase. When we con- sider the terrible distress of people in Europe and Asia we must confess that we are extremely fortunate and the rationing of food, shoes, gasoline, etc., which we are called upon to forebear, is of minor importance. We lcnew a wise man who said Nothing is cheap or a bargain that you do not need. 9 If by foregoing that which you do not need, you can buy War Savings Stamps or Bonds, you will strengthen your character and help our brave soldiers, sailors, aviators and marines to win this cruel war.
