The interpretation of democracy by our schools has not only a tremendous effect upon the day by day life of a high school student, but also the future life of each, It 18 in our schools that youth prepared for the privileges and the responsibilities of the democratic way of life, All of us must then learn that with each of these privileges comes a responsibility. It has been said that there is no official definition of our dem- ocracy. We do realize however, that our schools are confronted with two major tasks in respect to it, The first is to bring about in the minds of both students and teachers an acceptance in mind and spirit of democracy's principles, The second task is to spell out these prin- ciples into everyday relationships and experiences. Boys and girls grow into democracy; and the school, facilitating this growth, condit- ions the quality of the adult, Thus our way of life-the democratic way-is something to be earned, not expected as a gift. Are you ready to share the responsibility? lst Row: Sawyer, Duncan, Pudney, Muncy, Smith, Gilbert. 2nd Row: Beach, Potter, Prentice, Cardner, Mr. Sleight, Perkins, Fox, Elwood. For the first time in the history of the Student Senate of Cincinnatus Central High School, a voting machine was used for the final election of the Student Senate officers. James Cardner was elected president, Earl Prekins, vice president; Mary Pudney, secretary; and Shirley Muncy,treasurer. The main purpose of the represenatives from the six classes is to form a friendly tie between the administration and the students. Students can make suggestions about school life through their senators, or the suggestion box. Under the auspices of the Student Senate two drives were promoted; CARE, and March of Dimes. Three CARE packages were sent to Germany and two to Japan. Another function of our Student Senate is to help choose professional assemblies. are Top Row: Miss Adams, Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs. Dietrich, Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Osborne, Mrs. Totman, Mrs. Maricle, Mrs. Mudge. ei: ond Row: Mr. Pratt, Miss Setter, Mr. Springer, Mr. Dodge, Mr. Sleight, Mr. Kaufmann, Mr. DeGraff, Mr. Wilbur. 3rd Row: Mrs. DeMond, Mrs. McNally, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Higgins, Miss Morgan, Mrs. Muncy, Mrs. Geer. 4th Row: Miss Gilbert, Mrs. Pepper, Mrs. Crofoot, Mrs. Andrews, Miss Trop, Mrs. Papish, Miss Wood.

Our only activity was a class picnic, between the villages, in June. I'm sure no one, especially Mr. Dodge, our class ad- visor, will forget that. It certainly was a wet day. It not only rained but we had to take turns getting each other wet. We made up for our quietness that day. A SADIE HAWKINS DANCE in late November started our Sophomore year. What a night this turned out to be! We had a band consisting of Janice Bennett, Barb Elwood, Mary Pudney, Bev Cobb, and Don Sands, even though Don did get locked in the costume room. While someone rescued him, his sister, Donna, took over and played drums. Looking back, we played our numbers early enough so hardly anyone heard us (good thing, ugh). Then the wedding took place, after which a duet, Feudin', Fussin', and Fightin' was sung by Mary Pudney and Paul Gates. In June, we went to Echo Lake for our class picnic. Don Row- Boy Sands rowed the girls across the lake just to get water lilies, which he wore behind his ears. Everyone brought hot dogs. What about Mr. K? He cer- tainly looked cute with his trousers rolled up to his knees! THE JUNIOR YEAR began quietly enough, but by the time we had put on our plays, Mr. K had to use ball and chain, mufflers, and barred windows to hold us down. May 13th brought with it our Prom. We crowned Janice Fritz as our Cinderella, and Bob Cobb as her Prince Charming. Little did we know what big appetites the Seniors had until we took them to Sylvan Beach on the Junior- Senior picnic. Oh well! Everyone survived, unless someone is still buried under the sand, or locked in a locker. Better count noses and see. Asa class we once more journeyed to Echo Lake for an outing in June. BY THE TIME we had worked our way up to being seniors, the thrill was gone. We're Seniors now. So what? It only meant a lot more hard work. Our play Glamour Boy , was more fun, and we took it to Marathon as an exchange assembly. Who can forget Don Sands saying, Mrs. Tulip's Power bed , at the matinee, or saying, Quiet like-mouse , for three consecutive performances? We had just recovered from the plays when the time came for the Senior Ball. By now, everyone knew what job everyone else was suited for--except their own, that is. Joyce Fent, through the years, became known as “Official Punch Maker Remember the crowd in the kitchen, and the mistletoe in the cloak room! Don and Bill had the advantage over the rest of us--they tended the cloak room. After much anticipation, at midnight Beverly Cobb and Clesson Brown were crowned King and Queen. Someone once remarked that they thought our class could have fun no matter what we did. So you won't be amazed to find out that the long-awaited Senior Trip lived up to all expectations. Dazed and sleepy, we returned from Washington, New York, and all points south, to plunge into the dazzle of graduation preparations. After much rushing, we were amazed to find graduation here--the tests had been a minor detail--and the Seniors of 1951 became members of the world, U.S.A., INC.

Just before Christmas 1950 Jack Cobb, Walt Dumond and Lew Morse succumbed to sea fever and left our ranks to don the bell bottom trousers of the U.S.Navy. Frequent letters and an occassional visit while on liberty proved that the swabbies were still very much with us in spirit. All three of our sailor alumni were sports leaders in school, Jack as our star pitcher, Walt at inside right on the soccer team and Lew as our star miler. Since they cannot graduate with us it is good to know they are enlisted in the defense of the same freedom we were all taught to love. Guess they took their social studies seriously. How We Look Now Suxeq TErG AY I? Stas asia sno} September lh, 1961 Dear Ethel, Look who's writing to you. Little old me, Just thought I would write and tell you all the big news and the little news, too. Went to Class Reunion the other day, and you should have seen the changes in 'Slers. Remember Janice Fritz, the class brain? Well, how's this: She's pres- ident of Yale University. She always did like college men. And Bill Greene. Bill is Official Hot-Rod Tester on the Indianapolis Speedway. Talk about moving sahead fast in this world. I was really surprised at Fa Fa (Phyl) Doty. She's a well-known Broad- way bubble-dancer. Uses the old nickname on the stage, now. Barbara Elwood was home with her missionary husband. They are stationed in Africa, you know. Guess Barb's stay at Wheaton College was good for her. Believe it or not, Joyce Fent, giggles and all, is head of nurses at Binghamton Hospital-on the hill, that is. Dewey Eccleston, the staunch Democrat, has become a candidate for Cong- ress. I must rember not to vote for him, since he was always against women's rights when we were in school. Of course, Inez White is quite happily occupied as a model housewife raising little basketball captains. Bob Cobb, that Romeo, has become a well-known sports referee. The sport- women's wrestling. I suppose you remember Bob's sister, Bev? She is president of the Soc- fety for Women's Rights, and, of course, she's now Mrs Alvin Doty. Clesson Brown has become center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. Then there's Metta Smith, or Diaz rather, who married Henry. Her five little boys all want to grow up to drive school buses, Not only one, but two ball players in Ye Olde Class of 51. Mert McUmber holds the enviable position of 3rd baseman for the New York Yankees. Mary Harvey was there with a handsome, tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed man. She lives in Kentucky now. I guess that trip one Summer did her a lot of good. Janis Bennett has taken to doing all her solo work at evangelistic meet-= ings. Married an ex-Wheaton evangelist. For a college, Wheaton doesn't do bad as a matrimonial bureau. Remember Elmer Prentice, end how he loved mechanical drawing He now designs airplanes for Lockheed. Ag woul really paid off for Jim Cardner. He is now state chairman for Future Farmers of America. German has continued to be home for Cliff Deuel. And, what do you know: He is even running the four corners store. Don Sands made school newspaper work pay off. When he started showing his scrapbook of gossip columns from the Lion, they offered him the late Walter Winchell's column end radio time. Mary Pudney is now the official secretary of the United States Senate. Mary was always such a good secretary. Harlan bought a farm down near Wash= ington, for convenience, Jack Cobb, Lew Morse, and Walt DuMond are still in the Navy, and hold high ranks like admiral, commodore and swabbie . They are in the home fleet stationed at Solon Pond. This helps solve the girl probleme And, of course, there's dear, old Mr Kaufmann. Not really old, but like Jack Benny, probably a bit more than the 38 years he claims. I guess we drove him nuts, for he went on to college teaching. He is now known as Prof at Syracuse University where he teaches Abnormal Psychology of High School Seniorse Keeping up with his red-headed daughter, Jill, has turned his own hair greye Mrs Kaufmann seems to take good care of them both. I guess that's all for now, Ethel, but you see what I mean about things changing. That sure was a nutty class, but like fruit cakes, they turned out pretty good with a little aging. Write me when you can, and so long for now. Love and stuff, Mabel CLASS WILL Janice Bennett gives her chair in band to Phyllis Smith. I hope you get farther than I did, Phyl. Phyllis Doty gives her list of jokes to Donna Banks. I don't know if you really need anymore, Donna. Metta Smith leaves her active place in sports to Wanneta French. Cheat fair, Neta. Merton McUmber gives his track ribbons to Bobby Sternbergh; Hope you make good use of them, Bob. Clesson Brown wills his streamlined Dodge to Earl Perkins. You won't have any excuse for not taking the girls out now, Earl. Bill Greene gives his knowledge of hot rod driving to Ken Blanchard. With this and what you already have you'll do O.K., Ken. Inez White leaves her interest in all the new fellows to Janet Miller. It looks like you have a good start, Janet. Joyce Fent wills her ability to giggle the loudest and longest to Shirley Muncy. This isn't to be practiced in mixed chorus, Shirley. Bobby Cobb gives his title as President of the Benchwarming Club to Francis Knickerbocker. I won't be there to cheer you up but maybe Springer will put you in next year, Francy. Elmer Prentice leaves his microphone to Mr. Kaufmann so he can be heard over the Sophomores. Is it really that bad, Mr. K? Mary Harvey wills her ability to knit socks to Vivian White. Remember, Vivian, the b est way to knit socks is to knit, concentrate, and be quiet. Barbara Elwood leaves her interest in interviewing all new cadets to Jean Potter. Make sure they don't tell you some fibs, Jean. Beverly Cobb leaves her place as class treasurer to Lorena French. By the way, Frenchy, aspirins are cheap at Potters. Janice Fritz leaves her privilege of slipping into homeroom in the morn- ing just before the 8:30 bell to Sally Jackson. You may or may not have time to comb your hair in the a.m., Sally. Mary Pudney leaves her ability to carry on as a housewife and a student at the same time to Elsie Connor Totman. Jim Cardner wills the success of the senior basketball to the future seniors. l1 just hope you can get your fellows out to play better than we did. Dewey Eccleston gives his curly hair to Mr. Pratt. Don't you think you'd better grow some first, Mr. Pratt? Don Sands leaves his ability as baritone in the chorus to Bruce Dykeman, Clifford Duel wills his honors of being the last one to get anything done to Danie Potter. Hope you can think up some better excuses next year, Danie. To the Juniors we will the privilege and dignity of leaving all school assemblies first. To the Sophomores we will our ability of waiting until the last minute before working on our important events of the year. To the Freshmen we leave luck in starting to raise money for your Senior Trip. For the School the Class of '51 leaves. In witness whereof, being in sound health and of whole mind, and having duly sworn and deposed, we do hereunto affix our signatures in this the nineteen-hundred and fifty-first year of Our Lord, See a meeeee!

Members attended the all State Sectional at Norwich and Shirley Muncy sang in the All State Choir in Syracuse. The Mixed Chorus performed at the Good Friday Service and the Baccalaureate service.
