GOOD CITIZEN PILGRIM CAROLYN BRANSON Each year, a girl is chosen to represent Central High School at the annual state conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Carolyn Branson was selected as the Good Citizen Pilgrim from the Class of 1951. To her classmates, Carolyn represents all the outstanding qualities of scholarship, leadership, service, and ability. It was on the basis of these qualities that Carolyn and the other eighty representatives from the states were chosen. We, the class of 1951, join the faculty and the rest of the student body in congratu- lating Carolyn. We all wish her lots of luck in later life. 23 ,1 4? ' L W 1 m ,w7. A XF, A W ' :Pnl .

HISTORY OF THE CLASS Of 'l95'I Well, We are finishing our senior year! It is really hard to believe that our years at C.H.S. are practically over. It seems only yesterday that we, little underdog Fresh- men, were sitting in one of the assembly programs, when Mr. Stouffer called Randy Ackerman, our class president, to the stage to receive our 1951 banner. We all felt proud when we saw it tacked up in the gym, together with the rest of the upper- classmen's banners. Our other oflicers for that year were Patricia Crompton, vice-president, joan Stricker, secretary, Stephen Bard, treasurer, and Barbara Leigh, historian. Basketball season was an exciting event for our athletes. Several of them made the team. Finally the summer came, and we left Central, only to return again after our sum- mer vacation to be good old Sophomores. Now it was our turn to call the present Freshmen, shall we say ,... green Freshmenn? Soon, we found out we would present our first dance. The Sophomores were to organize the Valentine Dance, which was really a task, because we wanted to make a big impression on the other classes, especially the Seniors. At the dance, joan Stricker was crowned the Queen of Hearts, and received a gift. We had another election of officers, and Randy held the president's seat again, While the vice president was a newcomer, Carolyn Branson. Our secretary was Mary Ann Astalosh, and treasurer, Edward Oldis. This was really a great year for our class. We all were reading and trying to under- stand Julius Caesar, and at the same time, going to the basketball games to watch some of our Sophomore players. june came quickly, and Central's doors were closed once again, and we all parted for another summer. At last we were upperclassmen. The juniors! We really made a hit that year. We had a new principal who had red hair and one day Peg Haldeman, our president, told us that Mr. Hintze would like to introduce himself to the class. He said that he wished us luck in our junior year, and he hoped that he would get to know us individually before we became Seniors. Our other oiiicers for that year were Pat Crompton, vice president, Mary Ann Astalosh, secretary, and Ed Oldis, treasurer. A lot of new things were in store for the juniors. Of course we had our junior Prom, but we also had a successful bake sale. Remember decorating all the trucks and riding down Main Street selling out everything we had? Our prom, which was called the Ice Ball, was a big success. Barbara Leigh was crowned the Ice Queen. Plus all these things, the Class of '50 presented an operetta entitled The F irefly, in which the entire school participated. Many members of our class were in the operetta, which proved to be very successful, and showed hidden talent that could be used for next year, when we presented our play. 26 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 'l95'l Homeroom periods were something new, and we initiated a successful calendar of good programs. This year was a very interesting one, and we all worked hard to make it a happy one. When we received our report cards, we all knew that we would return in September as SENIORS! HURRAH! We are back in school again, but what a difference! We are the Seniors, the mighty upperclassmenf' To head this gallant group, we chose Edward Oldis as our president, Carolyn Branson as our vice president, Peggy Haldeman as our secretary, and Graham Bowers, treasurer. Graham certainly had a job handling all that money. We should have appointed bodyguards to walk around with him while he was carrying it. This year, one of the members of our class was the president of the entire student body and the Student Council. Barbara Leigh was elected to these offices at the close of the preceding year, but didn't take on the job until this year. The first really important event of the year was our senior play, which was Meet Me in St. Louis. Some of us took Part in the play, while the others helped in numerous other ways to make it a big success. We'll always remember all the fun we had at play practice! Our homes looked rather vacant after we removed all the Victorian furniture necessary for the stage setting. In january, we were all interested in the Building Program which consisted of several new, badly needed additions to the school. Some of us gave speeches in its favor and several of us paraded in the parade for it on the eve of election. The annual spring Concert was given in March, and several of our more musically inclined classmates took part in it. It was a very lovely concert. April was the month we went on our senior trip. That was what we had all been looking forward to throughout all our high school days. Some of us had made plans back in our freshman year, in reference to the great trip. Three days of sightseeing with all our friends could not have been more enjoyable. We visited Annapolis, Jamestown, Williamsburg, Washington, Norfolk, Fort McHenry, and Baltimore. After we had seen just about everything there was to see, we returned to Pennington to finish out the school term and our high school days. We soon had to start planning for our Senior Ball, Class Night, the Senior Picnic, and most of all, Vespers and Commencement. It wouldn't be long before we would be separated, and each of us would go his own individual way. We had all these things and they were wonderful! Commencement is over, and we are on our way to face the future in colleges, pro- fessions, and new jobs. All we have left is the pleasant memories of our fun and good laughs at Central High School. 27 .MZ vilv : I I 5' PO Q-1, 19' 1 1 Haas, Bard, Arendrg 2 Blackwellg 3 Strickerg 4 Branson, Oldisg 16 Cooperg 17 Kuserg 18 jones, Blackwell, Voor Bowcrsg 5 jaeckel, Green, Voorhees, Haasg 6 Haldemang hees, Matthewsg 19 Fairer, Vanselous, Voorhees, K.
