History of the Class of 1944 as It was with varied expressions and thoughts that we, the Freshmen of 1940, first entered Central on September 4th. At our first meeting of the year called by Miss Tripp, our class adviser, we elected the following to lead our class through our first successful year at Central: lack Conard, president: Robert Somers, vice-president: Bette Bloor, secretary: and Pat Browning, historian. One of our most important accomplish- ments as a group was the organization of a dancing class for the benefit of those underclassmen who as yet had not become greatly interested in this social pastime. Although it had been only one year since we were Freshmen, 1941 found us feeling as if we really played an important part in the life of Central. Early in the school year Mr. Campbell, our adviser, called a meeting to elect class officers. The following were elected: Robert Hallinger, president: Colin Mc- Burney, vice-president: Forrest Lowe, secretary: and Allan Youngs, treasurer. Our Sophomore Hop was the gala event of the winter season. We received many compliments from those who attended the dance. When we returned to Central in 1943, we entered as the much admired upperclassmen. In October, Miss Nagle, our class dean, called a meeting to elect officers for the year. We chose the following: Colin McBurney, president: Robert Hallinger, vice-president: Bette Bloor, secretary: Iames Abbott, treasurer. When the members of the Class of '44 entered Central's doors this year we were determined to make this, our last year at Central, a memorable one. Early in the year Mrs. Holcombe. our class dean, called a meeting for the purpose of electing officers. The following were elected: president. Robert Solan: vice-president, Ruth Williams: secretary, Ernestine Mitchell: treasurer, Katharine Voorhees. 11241
