Home Builders Overcome Rain and Late Carpeting A 545,000 course for 25 students? lt sounded ridiculous, but this years Unit 4 board allowed approximately that much for Central's 25 students. Not only did the building and trades class cost the most, it made the most money too. Interested par- ties entered sealed bids for the house. This years house was on Brookshire road in Brookshire subdivision. Open house for the project house was held on May 31, June 1, and June 2, 1974. The students spent about 540 hours building the house. This meant every day, even in the winter, all the building and trades students piled into a bus and spent 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, and 36 weeks building the project house. The interior design class furnished the house with wallpaper, paneling, and paint. They did however have trouble with their carpeting selection. After they ordered it they found out it had been discontinued. After much dispute and aggravation they finally got the house completed. The project house was expected to sell for S45,000. fl The exterior of the house stands complete as of May 1, except for all the comforts of home. l Looking like the before of the picture above it the project house frame sits alone during the fall. 4- Candy Lookingbill sweeps the floor for the last time before the first open house.

Did you see those strange students on May lst? The ones with the long, belled pants, the super short skirts, and the grease-less hair? The ones that sat around in classes and actually studied? The activities cluring the 50's day were numerous. From the soda shop, and dan- cing in the cafeteria, to eating gold fish at the fifth hour assembly. At this assembly Wolf Man Jack falias Jim Palmal made a special appearance to hand out prizes for the best dressed guys and gals. Also he had the pleasure of presenting Miss Rassmussen and Mr. Allen first place in a teacher dance contest. Later on in the evening, students had a chance to boogie to the sound of Lonnie and the Lugnuts in the girls gym. Twice a week all year long the twenty- four members of Jazz Band l and the twelve members of Jazz Band 2 practiced and practiced, over and over, again and again to get ready for the big moment of the year, Jazz '74. Jazz '74 was not a concert, it was a nightclub show with tables and refreshments for the audience instead of rows of hard seats. A thousand people listened to the Jazz Band play songs like, Hello Young Lovers and 'llt Ain't Necessarily So . Solos were given by Tom Seneff and Carl Johnson. Flag and Rifle Corps helped in the show. The money made will be used for the other activities Jazz Band are in. . 4- s'r . - 'l'7 ' Students Celebrate Spring with 50's Day, Jazz '74
