STANDING—Raymond Moore Junior Class History In the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty six, ten freshmen brightened the halls of Center High School. Bertha Miller and Ellis Swartzerndruber left the class during the second semester leaving the enrollment at eight. All eight took part in declamatory work. Raymond Moore and Deane Kesselring helped present “Tom Sawyer”. Five of the girls were in the freshman-sophomore play, “Ruth in a Rush”. Several of the class also took part in athletics. We had a freshman girls’ quartet composed of Bertha Miller, Treva Beard, Mary Ellen Swartzendruber and Carley June Erb. The class officers were: president, Carley June Erb; vice president, Helen Slaubaugh; secretary- treasurer, Raymond Moore. In the fa'l of the sophomore year only six of the class returned as Treva Beard and Deane Kesselring entered different high schoo’s. But Alberta Jane Lienemann entered our class after having spent her freshman year in California. Helen Slaubaugh and Betty Brenneman placed first in their respective divisions of declamatory work, dramatic and humorous. Alberta Jane Lienemann served as assistant editor of the school news.

I was now ready to listen to the story of the daring girl, Lily, who acted on the program, ‘“‘Take a Dare’, from 11:00 to 12:00 P. M. from radio station ZWA in New York. While listening to her story I wondered what kind of a girl Lily was in her every- day life. I thought it would be interesting to know more about Lily, for somehow she was a girl I envied and wished to know more intimately. The next afternoon I wrote to Lily telling her who I was and asking her to answer my letter and tell me how she became the star that she was and what she did in everyday life. You can hardly imagine my joy when I returned to my room one day several weeks later and found a letter from Lily. In eagerly reading the neat hand writing I found to my great astonishment that Lily was an old friend of mine; in fact, we had graduated from the same class in high school. Yes, it was Maxine Liebig. She had decided that marriage would offer very little opportunity to further develop her acting ability and so had turned to play acting. She had hoped to reach Ho!lywood but is well satisfied with her present pcsition and salary. After writing a few letters to rerew our friendship we thought it would be inter- esting to look up the rest of the class of ’39 and see how the world was treating them. This is what we found the class members doing after eleven years graduation. Maxine is a glcwing radio star and enjoying it. I am living a!crne and teaching in the grade department at the school in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. Ruth is head waitress in one of the most popular restaurants in the prosperous city of Frytown. Melva living in Hollywcod, is a successful beauty parlor operator. It is she who fixes many of the nifty hair-do’s we see on our favorite movie stars. It reminds me of the free beauty treatments we received from her at good old C. H. S. Betty Brenneman is married and living on a farm near Kalona, Iowa. She has a large chicken ranch. Eesides chickens she has a tamily to care for. Mildred Baumruk returned to Michigan. She is now devoting her spare time to a Riding Academy near her beautiful Michigan home in a woody area near the Great Lakes. Arthur Hill is the noted Doctor of Chicago selling Hill’s pink pil's to cure all ills. Really it should be “kill or cure”. Howard Palmer better known as professor Palmer is teaching at Center High and every one thinks he is doing remarkably well. As one of his assistants he has— Stanley Swartzendruber who is the basketball coach. It seers since the ultra- modern school each year there is a larger enrollment and a better basketball team. At the present the enrollment is well over one hundred. Charles Gosnell is the distinguished attorney that hundreds of people far and near look up to and admire for he has helped them out of many legal difficulties. There is rumor that he is to be married in June, 1951, we are really surprised to find that he could wait that long. uy, Bk, NES “ah Page Nine e, 2 ) DP) LD () EL () A) A () AD () A () ER () () NE () ) () A ) AR () A () () A () A ( |) RA () A ) A AT) (ER () ER () EE () EE RE (Eb () SD () ) A () () () E () () () D () () EED () D () () () () c () m() () () (ce () ¥, 8

Sophomore Class History The scphomore class began werk as students of Center |Hi in the fall of 1937 with an enrollment cf ten. A group of eager “freshmen” were we and many happy days we spent in pursuit of knowledge. About three weeks after school began Roselind DeFrance was added to our number and in the middle of the year Betty Jacob was also with us. During the year we tcok part in school activities such as plays, declamatory work and athletics. The fall of 1938 fcund all of our number back again to resume our studies and we can boast of the largest number enrolled in one class at the present time. In de- clamatory work Myrtle Gcsnell took second place and Arlene Hochstetler third; both were in the dramatic division. David Ererneman took part in the play “David Cop- perfield’”” and several members cf the class were in the operetta “An old Kentucky Garden’. We were also represented in both boys and girls basktball. Our sophemore year will be remembered as one of hard study. Home economics, manual training, geoometry, English, and gereral science. The first half of our high school career is ended. Let it be said of us that we tried.
