It is fitting that we should do this. The army and the navy and all the other organizations working for ultimate victory are doing more for us than any one group in our nation. The young people who are graduating from schools all over the jand have a future for which to plan. The boys ‘over there’ are protecting that future. They are making certain that the youth of today who will form the manhocd and womanhood of tomorrow can have the abundant opportunities that only a demo- cracy provides. They, before us, attended the school of American learning to love and cherish unconsciously the things we hold so dear now because they have been threat- ened. We are indeed grateful. that the leaders of cur nation see fit to protect the posterity. We are to be the citizens of a post-war world but we know that if the alumni of Center and the alumni of all the other schools over the nation do not see that the post-war world is not in our favor, WE will be slaves and not real citizens of any nation or any world. —THE EDITOR KEEPING A'l IT “Everything comes to him that waits.’ This is an old saying, but a better one for today is “Everything comes to him that goes out and gets it,” speaking of making progress in the worthwhile things of life. Doubtless everyone wishes to make a success in life. Especially should all young persons wish to make their lives a success in the higher aims and accomplishme”’ s. It would be a good thing to get forever away from the idea that the mere acquir- ing of wealth is success. There are many things that are better than wealth. Remember, success is not in favorable conditions, or circumstances or influences, or “pull,” but right inside of ourselves; in the persistency and tenacity of purpcse that enables us to hold on despite all discouragement and opposition. We should persist in the attitude until it becomes a fixed habit with us. Helping on, keeping on, strengthens the will and keeps up the courage. When we quit because things are so difficult, our courage disappears and our will disappears. “Quiters” never get anywhere except into the discard. Every sucessive victory makes us stronger for the next one. If you want to be strong, stand up squarely on both feet, face the future, tackle the thing that has be done, and never stop until you have done it—or have done your best. Of course there is a shorter way, a shorter course, but the course that pays is the one that requires your best effort, that develops your brain and nerve power, that fits you for the hardest conflicts of life. The person who will not stick to anything will soon pass out of demand. It is a dangerous and foolish thing to quit under temporary discouragement. No one is in a condition to know what is best when he is discouraged. The mind is warp- ed, the judgment twisted, and the situation does not appear to you in its true light. Right at the outset of life, it is a good thing to cull the word “discouragement” ouc ot your vocabulary. It will still remain in the dictionary, but you need not use it in your life. Remember, concerning the ladder of success, there is plenty of room at the top.

WE therfore execute this, cur last will and testament. To those juniors we leave the north row hoping that they can keep warm without wearing their ccats. To the sophomores we leave our ability to remain peaceful and quiet in the assembly. os To the freshmen we leave the hope that they can succeed in school as well as we have. As individuals we wish to leaving the following: Merle wishes to leave her poise and stride to “Buckshot”? Brenneman. Rebert leaves his ability to be on the honor roll to Robert Rhodes hoping to in- crease his mental ability. Bill wishes to leave his talent to play basketball to Samuel hoping he may make the all county team. Lester leaves his ability to jump when accidentally punched in the ribs to Irene hoping she can jump as high as he usually did. Arthur leaves his ability to sleep in class to Robert Schlabaugh. Howard wishes to leave his curly hair to Burdette, so his nickname “curly” may be more appropriate. This is to certify that this is our last will and testament. Witnesses: Uncle Remus Stella Crabtree Signed, Class of 1943 Class Prophecy I, Donald Hochstedler, having perfected my magic telescope, decided to look into my machine and try to find some of my old schoolmates at C. H. S. The first perscn I saw was an important looking gentleman in a gymnaisum. Talking to him was a newspaper reporter and a cameraman. I moved my focus to a poster on the wall which read, ‘Home of the World Champion Girls Bastkethball Team coached by Doctor Lester Kempf.’ I then switched the telescope back to the little group. That reporter interviewing the coach looked very familiar. Then I realiz- ed who it was. It was Merle Fleming, sports editor of a New York newspaper. These wo seem to have done all right. I then decided to move the lens until it found more members of the class of 1943. The telescope jerked a little and then focused on a ship far out on the Atlantic. The sight lined up on the bridge and there I saw, of all people, Captain Howard Gosnell of the U. S. Navy barking orders to his men on the U. S. Frytown. Circling overhead was a huge plane. I looked with the telescope and saw the Team coached by Doctor Lester Kempf.” I then switched the telescope back to the luxurious plane with its pilot. Sure enough it was screen actor “Arthur Yoder,” suc- cessor of Charles Boyer, on his three months vacation from Hollywood. My telescope then moved to the middlewest. I saw a huge ranch and on the sign at the gate was this, “O. K. Turkey Ranch, Wm. Swartzendruber, Robert Yoder and Sons.” These one time boys had been successful too. Then I suddenly remembered how overbearing these people had been when I was a freshman at Center high school and in a fit of temper I smashed my magic tele- scope and since I have never been able to perfect another one. Such a life! Class History On August 28, 1939 ten meek freshmen began their high school carreers at Center high school. During this year our officers were: Bill Swartzendruber, president; Lester Kempf, vice-president; and Arthur Yoder, secretary-treasurer. During our sophomore year Verda Hershberger failed to return and Lester Moore moved away thus leaving only eight. Lester was chosen president; Junior was chosen vice-president and Howard was chosen secretary-treasurer. By this time all cur mem- bers were active in school events. We were represented on the basketball teams, in plays and in declamatory contests. Lster was chosen president; Merle, vice-president and Arthur Yoder, secretary-treasurer. We were represented in declamatory, piays and also basketball. We have now entered our last lap with the same students as last year. Our class aga’n entered into sports with four members on the basketball team. We also pre- sented the senior class play, “Dummy,” on May 6 and 7. Baccalaureate services were held at Frytown in the Christian church May 16. Commencement was held May 19. The class colors are red, white and blue. Our motto is ‘Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor?’ Our class flower is gardenia. —H.

Junior History In 1940 thirteen freshmen began a four-year auto tour across the country of educa- tion. We placed Kenneth at the steering wheel, Kathleen at the gear shift, and Irene at the throttle. We made three stops to let several of our members take part in the plays “Sonny Jane” and ‘Don’t Darken My Door” and to compete in the declamatory contest. Our tour was continued in the fall of 1941 with twelve in our group. Our car was run by Robert, who handled the wheel, Wayne who shifted the gears, and Dale, who controlled the throttle. ‘‘Andy Has the Answer,” “In May With June,” “Eh,” “Winter Sunset,” “Business, Merely Business” and ‘‘Where There’s A Will,” were the plays we helped to present. We were well represented in the declamatory contest, in music, and in athletics. In 1942 we took on another passenger, Burdette Hershberger, but Mary Maple and Wayne failed to join us, and Dale soon left us. Wayne is now serving in the navy while Donald Woods, who was with us as a freshman, is now in the Army. The task of steering was given to Kathleen, the job of shifting gears, to Dale, and Burdette was the plays, “Atta Boy, Walt!” “Step On It Stan” and “Dummy,” while four of us gave asked to keep an eye open on the throttle. Some of our members helped to present readings in the declamatory contest. All the boys of our class went out for basket- ball, as did also two of the girls. We have now traversed three-fourths of the country of education and hope soon to get our citizenship papers (diploma). We have had very little auto trouble in spite of a few rough roads. As a whole, our trip, this far has been very interesting. —TI. B. ’44 FRONT ROW—left to right—-Ruby Kinsinger, Shirley Hershberger, Mary Swartzen- druber.

S enhemore History On September 1, 1942, seven freshmen started on their voyage of education with Orval Miller, president; Shirley Hershberger, vice-president; and Ruby Kinsinger, secretary-treasurer. During the year several of us took part in the declamatory con- test and in several plays. In the fall of 1942, all seven of us (used to be freshmen) returned to Center to further our knowledge. A few days later Dwight Bender joined us, thus boosting cur enrollment one. Dwight Bender, Orval, and Robert, all went out for basketball. Dwight S. took part in the play, “Atta Boy, Walt!” Orval also substituted one evening of this play. FRONT ROW- left to right—Darlene Brenneman, Shirley Fleming, Arlene’ Brenne- man, Mildred Gosnell.

Music Would nct life be dull if there were no music? Whenever you are tired or dis- ccuraged hum a little tune. Soon you will forget your sadness when there is music in the air. The sextette provided vocal music between acts and for our contribution for the program that was presented for the Fall Festival. Several of the girls took piano lessons under the instruction of Mrs. Foote. A re- cital was planned for the middle of April. Each student participated. ’Tis not in the highest stars alone. Nor in the cup of budding flowers. Nor in the Redbreast’s mellow tone, Nor in the bow that smiles in showers. But in the mud and scum of things, There’s always, always something’ sings.

Left to Right—Howard Gosnell, Arthur Yoder, Lester Kempf, Kenneth Hershberger, Bill Swartzendruber, SHOULD FLUNKERS BE FIRED? The question as to whether or nct flunkers should be fired depends upon two different things. They are, namely: if the flunker has done his very best, or, if he didn’t care if he got an ‘“‘F”’ or no grade at all. The student who goes to school merely to get out of work somewhere else and not to secure an education shouldn’t be given very liberal grades. If a student of this sort flunks in his studies, he might as well be kicked out of school. If the student who goes to school and works very hard but isn’t so bright mentally, flunks, he should be given another chance because he is trying. The number of subjects flunked by a student is alsc a determining factor as_ to whether or not that student should be fired. If the student flunks only in one subject it might be that that particular subject is much harder for him than some others. He should then be given another chance. But if a student flunks more than one subject it will probably be not because he positively can’t master that subject but that he just doesn’t care. A student of that sort hasn’t any business in school. Sometimes it will be discovered that there are other things distracting attention. Often sports are guilty of that. Sports have their place in a school, however the stu- dent shouldn’t be allowed to put sports ahead of his studies. Or, if a student likes a certain subject so much better than some others he may be inclined to neglect that subject. Since some other student might dislike the subject another likes, they should be made to work hard on all subjects and not be flunked. WHY IAM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN Just why should I be proud to be an American? What is it in the American way of living that is worth being proud of? Why am I proud to live in a democracy? Of the many questions that rush to my mind I think the best answer to _ these questions is in plain words. You are free to do as you please. If you were living in Germany today you would often get cold for lack of clothing and hungry because of scarcity of food. We Americans really don’t appreciate the ease of life that we live. Oh, you may say that we don’t have enough sugar, coffee or gasoline. But just sit down and think a minute. Wouldn’t you rather sacrifice a few things now and live in a country after the war where the boys aren’t under military rule at the age of twelve or where you do as the government says or if not you may get shot. Or you may complain about our rotten government. If you were in Germany or Italy and you said something against the government, you would get shot or put in a concentra- tion camp. Another thing we Americans don’t appreciate enough is our religion. In Germany and Italy what few chhrcues there are really can’t be callled churches. The minister is usually in the army and when he comes home to preach he is dressed in a military uniform with a gun hanging at his side. Do you think you would enjoy listening to a preacher dressed in this manner? I think we should support our government whole-heartedly for I know a democracy in a country is of the people, by the people, and for the people. —D. E. S. FARMING IN THE FUTURE ae ae aes 4 faas Probably about one of the first changes in the future for the American farmer will be the machinery. As for the tractor, you wouldn’t recognize it if you saw it. it will be a streamlined affair with the seat diiectly above the front wheels tor betcer vis.bility. For mcre power, the motor will be in the back of the tractor and it will drive a set of caterpillar tied wheels. ‘these wheels will be spaced evenly so they will be suitable for row crop farming. ‘lhe motor will have no pistons or crank sharts but will be of the new supercharged type which is smaller and lighter. It wiil burn airplane fuel, have much more power and will be capable of going fifty miles per hour. The treads for the back wheels will be made ot rubber, reinrorced with steel to prevent stretching. The cab will be enclcsed by plastic and equipped with a heater, windsh-eld wiper and radio of the type the army uses, commonly called the ‘walkie talkie.’’ Thus way the farmer can tell his wife, on the two way radio, when he is coming in from ees but he can see more and see better than if he were on the type of tractor we nuw ave. Future farm planners think they will put the cart before the horse, that is, putting all the machinery in front of the tractor. The special equipment for this tractor won’t have any wheels. These future planners says the tractor wastes too much fuel and power pulling the implements. Mowers, combines, corn pickers, corn planters, all wil be mounted in front of the tractor. All these tools will have a hydraulic control in the cab to operate the attachments. Other new machines may come into existence that we never heard of before. Some of these new machines h.ay chcp up corn stalks and sod so fine you can hardly see them. The farmers will probaly lime their fields with ai:planes. The farm museuin may get quite a collection when the forage harvester donates the pitchfork, hayfcrk, slings, and ensilage cutter. With corn cutting attachments, this harvester would soon pay for itself. A new all crop blower, has also been thought of. This blower would blow ensilage, corn, oats, or any crop for that matter, into a bin. A new attachment for the tractor will be made to pick up bales of hay or straw and load them into a truck or wagon. A one man pick-up baler that would roll up a bale like a carpet and tie it with twine is also on its way. The bales would be small enough to be handled with a pitchfork and would just need to be unrolled for feeding. The farmer, possibly may fly to the city in a special type cf plane built for that purpose. When the farmer wants to go to the city, he will drive his plane out of the hangar and take off for the city from his barnyard. He’ll land at the city airpcrt; press a button to fold the wings from view and drive down the street. He'll call the city when he wants to ship a carload of cattle to New York and tell them to send a cargo plane out right away because he wants to get his cattle to New York befo-e the prices go down. In ten minutes the cargo plane will land. Possibly fifty head of catue will be herded into it. He’ll do h’s chores and after supper go to the city to get his check. These cargo planes will carry everything that our semi-trucks carry ncw. When it comes to cleaning the barn that won’t be so hard because there will be @ push-button cleaner. This will be an endless track or belt in the barn gutter, which will drop the watses in the manure spreader immediately. When it comes to the other stables there will be a small portable machine to elimi- nate the heavy lifting for the farmer. ‘The farmer will operate it just like a crane. This portable machine can be used to clean other buildings too. The farmer’s buildings may be few and large. What we commonly call the barn will in the future hold all the machinery, livestock, poultry, hay and grain. In this new building, the grain will be stored in the “cellar” which is air conditioned. All the machinery and livestock will be located on the first floor. The poultry will be located on the second floor with an inclined plane leading to it from the outside. On the third floor, the baled hay and straw will be kept. There will be an electric elevator to reach from the cellar to the hay mow, so you won't have to be climbing ladders all the time. Possibly there will be a special building for the airplane. Then will come the house. The only thing that won’t change with the house is that it will still be a place to live. There will be a tunnel leading from the house to the barn, with a branch leading to the hangar. This will be made so that you don’t have to wade mud and snow. Don’t be surprised at anything, because the fields may become circular so you cen increase your speed. The barn will be equipped with a vacuum blower to draw the bales of hay and straw into the mow. The machines and buildings will be built of new metals and plastics which are lighter and stronger. After the war new things will be appearing one by one and within a few years we may have everything or mcre than what I’ve already mentioned. Such will be the future. —Samuel Spicher, °45 ALUMNI NEWS CLASS OF ’33 Nadine Bontrager, now Mrs. Clarence Hershberger is a farmer’s wife and mcther of two husky boys, Loran and Bobby.

The women prepared a big turkey dinner as usual. About 400 people were present. After the dinner a program was given by the schools of the township. Several pupils from each school gave a dialogue and sang. The sophomore class gave an original play and Center girls quar- tette sang. It was a beautiful sunny day for the festival. After the program, baseball games were played. In the evening the Sharon girls and boys played the Center girls and boys. The Sharon girls won and the Center boys won. On the whole, the six- teenth annual Fall Festival was a success. FALL FESTIVAL The annual oyster supper sponsored by the school board was held March 11 with a large crowd attending the affair. A hilarious one act play was sponsored by the basketball squad for entertainment. The play was, “The Case Before the Jury.” This is the fourth annual oyster supper. The first one was held when the present graduat- ing class were freshmen. The student body and the community appreciate this oyster supper very much. —M. W. F. ’43 8. ee ae STRUB-WAREHAM 06. !

Se S999 OO See ESSAY ON BOYS Boys is sorta sweet sometimes only when they is homely and when they is sour. Most boys is homely. Some boys look kinda sleepy too. Boys is allus teasin’ us girls wis ole bugs an mice an sech stuff. They’s allus saying girls is sissies an afraid to climb trees an skin the cat an stuff like at there. All boys is dumb They trys to do such hard stuff and thinks its fun. They won’t sew no buttons on ere shirts or play house with us girls or nothin. Boys don’t never clean off ere shoes or make their beds or nothin like at. They ist run out and let the girls do it. I think they’re ist plain lazy but Mom says boys will be boys. At’s alright wis me but I wish they wasn’t such silly creatures while they was a doin it. Why sometimes they acts like they wasn’t all here in there heads. They never washes ere faces or hind ere ears unless their Mom looks. I got a brother. He’s awright cept when he gets ready to go see his girl. Then he stands in front of the mirror fusses an’ fixes and combs his hair an’ wonders whether or not he ought to shave, where there ain’t no whiskers there, never was any, or won’t be for couple more years. I hain’t never been a boy, but once I had a boy friend. He was awful pretty an han’some till one day I wouldn’t hole an ole frog for ‘‘im” an en he got mad an en he was homely. Boys is nice sometimes when they dry dishes for us gurls or when us gurls wants to go somewheres. People who has come to the conclusion that boys is hopeless has the write conclusion. ESSAY ON GIRLS Girls is the funniest people I ever did see. They acts sorta sweet, sometimes, only when they acts silly. When they acts silly they “‘tee hees” and makes so much noise that I’d rather hear an ole’ tomcat beller on the fence at midnight. They’s all afraid of mice and itmakes ‘em mad if the boys tease ’em cr anything. They’s afraid they’ll tear their dresses if they climbs over the fence and so they just sit on the other side and play with them dumb ole dolls. Girls always say that boys is lazy, but they’re always wanting us to carry in wocd or dry dishes for them. Then if we does dry dishes for ’em and breaks one they gets mad and says we’re the clumb- iest brutes they’s ever saw. Girls cry awful quick. Everytime I hit one of ’em on the finger with a hammer she cries. She’ll cry if you jump real quick and scare her. She'll cry if you tell her she’s ugly, she’ll cry if you tin can a dog, why some even cry if you look at ’em. I used to have a girl friend, but not any more. I wouldn’t haveone if I could have a whole truck load to pick from. They cost too much. Why I spent a whole dime in a month on my last one. Girls are awful expensive. It’s give me this, and give me that, and give me everything she sees. Girls are funny things, and one is better off if one forgets ’em entirely. —U. K. ’45 FRESHMAN BOYS Freshman boys are few and far between And with the sophomore boys are often seen. They do their work and do it well, They may sometime become President, who can tell? These two jolly freshman boys are a jolly pair They’re always full of fun In basketball they rip and tear Until the final gun They shine in English, Science, Farm Management, too There really isn’t much these boys can’t do They really do shine until six weeks tests That’s the time the poor boys really do detest. Samuel is witty and clever Donald a true friend forever. Both are mischievious, that’s true But still, I am no angel, are you? —M. G.’47 WHO IS DIGNIFIED? A senior there was who stayed out late, And every night he had a date. Exams came on and, oh, dear me He was sure to get a measly D; A freshman there was who studied late, His teachers he tried to imitate. He passed his tests and was he pleased, For all he got was A’s and B’s. —D. H. ’47 THINGS I LIKE TO EAT The things I like to eat Are cookies, cakes and candy. I keep them on the pantry shelves Where they are nice and handy. I like it when my mother bakes For then it’s always rolls and pie, And a pan of crisp brown doughnuts Is sure fo take my eye. I also like those vegetables That give me lots of energy. We ought to eat a lot of them To keep us well and happy. There’s the vegetables and the fruits, Bread, rolls, pie and candy sweet, Crisp brown doughnuts and cakes These are the things I like to eat. —M. R. 46 ———— SS TESTS Twas the day before test day And all through the school; Every student was studying And obeying the rule. Nobody was whispering Because we felt punk; So we all started praying That cur tests we don’t flunk. As we went home that evening Our hearts they were heavy For we knew that tomorrow Tests on us they would levy. When we came back to school Next morning at nine-thirty We all had bad headaches And our knees knocked a plenty. We all took our places For school soon had started; We got our books Though being very downhearted. We thought of Sears catalcgues While looking at the tests; And as for the teachers We knew they were pests. We worked and we worked Till our tests were all finished; Then we felt as though Our brains were diminshed. But several hours later We were ever so glad; For we happened to think That our tests we had had. —-O. L. M. ‘45 THE OLD MILL The old dirty road which led to a hill Was bumpy and rough and led to the mill. The old gray wheel went round and round But now it is old and is all broken down. The people were glad when it first was there, But now it looks ugly and old and bare, Nobody ever goes near that hill Because of the sorrow of that old mill. —S. M. F. ’46 A TREK TO IOWA CITY A little Model A spins its merry way to Iowa City to the basketball tournament. Inside it are five boys who are set to go. “Careful Hez, you’ll hit that rut and as fast as you’re driving we'll be in the ditch. And then we’ll not make it by 8:30 for sure.” “Aw, quit your back seat driving. Honestly Shorty you are bout as bad as my Mom when it comes to back seat driving. This is followed by haws on everybody’s part until someone starts coughing. “Say, Kenny, you ought to take better care of yourself. It sounds like you've caught a bad cold.’” “Yes, I went down there on that old basketball court today noon to practice and then I got hot and then I cooled off tco fast and caught this cold. Kerchoo.” “Yes, if we just had something decent to practice in I bet we boys wouldn’t have a half bad team either.” “Boy is my Dad ever tired of my taking the V-8 to take boys to practice.” “Yes, that’s so. Why we haven’t got a chance against the City tonight. Most that we can even hope to do is scare ’em a little.” Kerchoo. “Milt, give Kenny one of those coughdrops. There is a box in the pocket of the car. This driving back and forth sure takes the stamps out of my gas book and all these ruts aren’t exactly beauty treatments to my tires.” “Say, does anybody (Kerchoo) know what we’ve got in biology for tomorrow ?” “Honestly, Kenny, you think of some of the dumbest things. Why think of biclogy now. Hey, there is a stop sign, Vernie.” “Say would you like to drive?”’ “We'll go to basketball practice and then we don’t get in on half our classes, then when we get back we don’t have our lesson.” “But when I am there I work on the stage. If we only had a gym witha stage and everything. “Say, does anyone want to bet me a malt after the game that we'll win?” “Aw, don’t be silly, Bill, don’t anybody even expect to come anywhere near a score; ycu know we won't. “Yes it (Kerchoo) makes me discouraged just to think of having to go out there and tire myself out without any reward. (Kerchoo)” “Well, now maybel can give poor Kenny a penny if it’s a reward he wants.” “Aw, keep still Bill, before I hit you one. Take her easy, you're going to hit the pavement. | “If you boys don’t keep still, you’ll all be looking for another way home.” “O. K. I won’t back seat drive any more. Watch out, you’ll hit that car.’ “Tm warning you Shorty----- 3 On Ka Onis “I guess we're here, let’s go in and give her all we've got and make the folks at home proud of us and maybe it will convince the school board to build a gym for the scrappy little team from Center.” —M.
