The History of the Class of IQBCE On a cold January morning in IQ34, Central High received a delivery of assorted students from the surrounding districts with the instructions to educate and prepare said students for life in the outer world. Much perplexed, the Venerable principal, one Vililliam Colver Hill, called into his inner sanctum two of his trusted pedagogues, Mrs. Marion A. Crane and Miss Elizabeth O. P. Lewis, and acquainting them with the facts, asked them to guide said students through the pitfalls and trapdoors of Central. Being nothing loath, the undaunted Mrs. Marion A. Crane and Miss Elizabeth O. P. Lewis preceded by Principal William Colver Hill visited the ancient assembly hall wherein the said students lusl were seated. Opening a mouth which was in the usual position, under the nose and above the chin, the venerable principal introduced everybody all around. He informed us that we were the Class of IQZCM, that Mrs. Marion A. Crane and Miss Elizabeth O. P. Lewis were to be our class ad- visers, and that nobody has a right to do that which if everybody did would destroy society. We left the assembly hall and proceeded to get mixed up by not finding rooms which weren't where they were supposed to be on the third floor, or the first, or the second for that matter. All of which could be summed up by saying we got lost. Toward the end of our hrst year the senior class president outlined the correct procedure for elections. We, then, elected the following ofhcers: Frank Weeks, Presidentg Betty Lippman, Vicc'President, Phyllis jones, Secretaryg Fred johnson, Treasurerg and john Mayer, Member-at-large. Vague impressions of our first class meetings drift back. We were told that a committee had chosen brown and orange for our class colors. About this time some sterling senior students suggested a Student Treasury. The venerable one approved, and we began to pay something called in- stallments which always managed to fall due when we didn't have any money. The Student Treasury prospered, and is now considered the most important organization in the school. We ended our hrst year with a dance called the Resolution Ramp. For our second year we elected Walter Caron, President, Betty Lippman, Vice-President, Phyllis jones, Secretaryg Brewster lvliller, Treasurerg and Ellen Brown, lxfember-at-large. Although the class meetings were not numerous, we'll never forget the arguments we had in them. The social life of our second year consisted of a Combination Hop in which we joined forces with the Class of IQ37. Although not outstanding, it was a success. Meanwhile another event had occurred which disturbed not only our emotional equilibrium but our social prestige as well. Something called a School Board changed our name from Central to Classical. We protested, but to no avail. After listening to many arguments, and weathering many a severe storm of waving hand- kerchicfs, we settled back in complete resignation for was it stupor?l. However, we awoke in time to present the junior Prom, the most gala affair of our career. The gyms, festooned with a chandelier of balloons lconstructed by the Gabriel Auerbach ln- terior Decorating Col multi-colored streamers, tables, chairs, dancers, and patrons were a sight to behold. tContinued on Page 317 1-L71
