Of course we were known as the Green Freshmen, but we didn’t mind that for we were very timid the first year. Our instructors were Miss Lois Ross and Mr. O. Ray Bontrager who was Super- intendent of the school. There were eight Freshmen, namely: Marjorie Hukill, Edna Yoder, Ferne Wertz, Arvilla Eimen, Lois Bontrager, Cecil Bontrager, Eulah Miller and Agnes Swartzen- druber. The students all returned the next year except Eulah Miller. A great change could be seen between the Freshman class of ’27 and the Sopho- more class of ’28. The Sophomores lost all their timidness and became really gay and enjoyed school very m uch. The instructors for ’28 were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Lena Hanson. The Junior class of 1929 has changed considerably. Two of the students sought their knowledge in another school, namely: Lois and Cecil Bontrager. They were transported to Goshen, Indiana, and there indulged in a sad and lonely life. But some of the disappointment was lessened when we received news that Miss Helena Amelon would enter our class, and that Eulah would return. We are now known as the jolly Juniors although we do study harder than we ever have done.

To the Sopho- mores we leave our pride of self and to the Freshies we bequeath our powers of concen- tration. PERSONAL BESTOWALS Walter Marner has decided to give his profession as a ‘lady killer‘ to the honor- able Charles E. Semler. Seth Eimen leaves all of his practical jokes to Leoan Liebe, hoping she will find some use for them. Vir Jones leaves his ability as a baseball pitcher to Victor Otto Eugene Hess. Melva Rae Gingerich leaves her arguments for the ‘Chivy’ to the Sophomore class, hoping that the Sophs will give them particular attention. Laurine Miller has been persuaded to leave her mechanical ability to Mr. Fredrick Beard. : The chairman of the style committee, Ervin L. Eash, leaves his red hat “Spike” to Arline Patterson. Walter Reber after many brave attempts has decided to leave his dignity for Del- mar Brenneman. Wallace Gingerich is donating his new baseball glove to Chase Millice, hoping to further his ball interests. Little George Hess has decided to leave his desk and accessories to Paula Meleek, known to most people of everyday life as Eulah Miller. Mr. Wayland W. Osborn is hereby appointed administrator of the above will (Fees to be paid by those favored.) Sworn before me this Friday, April 13, 1929. MR. NO ONE, Wittnesses— Sadie Ficklestine, Mary Primp. Notary. CLASS PROPHECY It is in the year of 1950, as I sit gazing at the Centerika, I notice in the large head lines, “Welfare of Class of ’29.” It immediately draws my attention as this was the second class of Center High. With eager eyes I read the following: “Walter Marner is trying to be the matinee idol of Broadway. His lates t unsuc- cessful hit is “Secret Follies.” “Wallace Gingerich is working in General Motors. He certainly has changed his mind since ’29. “Vir Jones has just accepted the position of flying instructor at a New York Aviation field. “Nothing can be said of Ervin Eash’s present occupation, as he was lost sight of two years ago. “Laurine Miller has just been announced the world’s champion in the milking contest held at Paris, France last week. “We have just heard that Seth Eimen has accepted the position of Dean of Men at Harvard University. “George Hess is going to join Seth at Harvard as his assistant. It will be re- membered that these two were very great friends in the year of ’29. “Walter Reber because of his love for farming has decided to try to reclaim the Arizona desert. We all wish him success. “Melva Gingerich, famous teacher of music, has just invented a new musical seale which is making a great hit among all high class musicians.” I lay aside the paper with a sigh. My goodness how time does fly. M: Grand 8, E.. 729. a THr CENTER RRR LL) (| A) |) (A ( ( A ( ( ( A CD.
