CLGAsAs History In the fall of 1937, four short years ago, ten freshmen were welcomed to Center High School in order to increase their knowledge. After several weeks Roselind DeFrance joined us and beginning the second semester Betty Jacob also joined us. The class officers were: Arlene Hochstetler, president; Daniel Brenneman, vice-president; Luva Yoder, secretary-treasurer. During the year members of the class took part in plays, basketball and declamatory. The fall of 1938 found the same twelve students back for more studying. Members of the class again assisted in plays, basketball and declamatory. The class officers were: Daniel Brenneman, president; Myrtle Gosnell, vice-president; Betty Jacob, secre- tary-treasurer. The beginning of our junior year found only eight pupils returning. Recsclind DeFrance and Virgie Earnest dropped out and Luva Yoder and Betty Jacob enrolled at Wellman. The officers were: Myrtle Gosnell, president; Daniel Brenneman, vice-president; Clifford Grout, secretary-treasurer. We again assisted in the various school activities. We began our last year of school with the same eight that finished the previous year. Arlene Hoch- stetler was elected president; Cleo Dickel, vice- president, and Myrtle Gosnell, secretary-treasurer. We presented the play “Holiday House” as our se- nior class play. David, Daniel and Cleo each won letters in bas- ketball during their school careers. Myrtle, Arlene Nora and Eunice participated in declamatory and were on the girls’ softball teams that won the John- son County championship the past two years. Nora and Eunice were also members of the music groups of the school. Chass Will We, the senior class of Center Hi, realizing the time for our departure is at hand, hereby declare this to be our last and only will and testament to be made by us for the disposal of our school possessions. We are sorry we have no extra girls to will to the juniors, for we realize they will need girls badly. But as we have none we will fill their next greatest need by willing them our superior mental and scho- lastic ability. To the sophomores we leave our ability to answer questions in class without having read our lessons, hoping they can get as good grades as we did. To the freshmen we will our ability to have a good time in schooltime, hoping they won't get caught as often as we did. As individuals we leave the following... Eunice leaves her intelligence to George. She realizes he is greatly in need of this for he wouid PAGE 8 rather visit with his neighbors than study. Clifford leaves his ability to get along with the girls to Robert Yoder. He hopes Robert appreciates this enough to make use of it. Cleo wills his giggle to Kathleen in the hope that she will master it better than he has. Nora leaves her slimness to Dorothy Jean in hopes that it will get her through as many tight places as it has her. Arlene wills her dimples to “Chris’”’ hoping this will make the girls notice him. David wills his grin to Cleese, hoping it will add to his charms. Daniel wills his ever empty wallet to Arthur in hopes that he can keep it filled. Myrtle wills her ability to chew gum in school- time without being caught to Robert Schlabaugh. Good luck, Robert! (signed) Senior Class Witnesses: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
