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
