History of January Class, 1938 O thirty-two people, January 26 was a red letter day. Yes, we were the graduation class of January, 1938. As we look back upon our high school careers we remember or recall parties, plays, jokes on teachers and friends, and all kinds of enjoyment sprinkled, perhaps, with just a dash of studying and detention. We sincerely wish the next and succeeding classes the best of luck and hope that they may have as fine a memory of Central and their part in it as we have. For' their capable guidance and good counsel we thank Miss Reed, Miss Howey, Miss Jones, and Miss McClurg, our class supervisors. During our senior year the role of president was competently filled by Philip Pifer. At the same time Jeanne Latson and Bob Whittington served us in the student council, where Bob was elected president. Several members of our class were active in the dramatic field. Ann Jen- nings participated in our senior class play, Annie Laurie , while Emma Jayne Hires creditably represented us in Guess Again , the junior class play. In practically every school club enrollment appeared the name of at least one member of our class. The Blue Triangle Club was especially well repre- sented with only two of the fourteen girls failing to join. Jerry Smith won recognition through his swimming ability, his reward being a letter and a membership to the C association. We found several aspiring young journalists in our midst as seven of our members took active interest in the Annual and Weekly Mirror Staffs. Our group also participated in all of the forms of music, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities at Central. ' Ann Jennings carried away the much coveted Bausch-Lomb Award for science. The highest scholastic average was achieved by Arlene Hard Cfor which honor her name was engraved on the scholarship cup.j As a memorial we left behind us seven Sims song slides. We hope the classes of the future will always receive as much pleasure from them as we have already received in giving them. J -ARLENE HARD twenty-one

Senior Class History EMEMBER that bright September morning about four years ago when there came to Central a class of meek-looking youngsters seeking en- trance? But in spite of their meekness they possessed an underlying resoluteness that told the upperclassmen and teachers that this class was going to do great things. To us, the class of 1938, that day was to mark the in- auguration of four years of work and happy fellowship with our teachers and fellow students. How the Seniors seemed to tower above our obscure little selves that first year and how we yearned for the time when we, too, could monopolize a few square inches on those hitherto forbidden front steps! With none of the perplexities of geometry propositions or chemistry ex- periments to burden our innocent young intellects we set out with jocund hearts for that remote place, graduation. We did not ride or even hitch-hike but walked every mile of the journey. Although the going was rough at times, somehow we surmounted all obstacles and as we stand on the threshold of graduation we pause for a moment to gaze back into the distance to see what this illustrious class has accomplished. In that year when as verdant Freshmen we approached Central in search of a high school education, we chose four people to perform the official duties of the Freshman Class. The four young swains we elected were President, Philip Pifer, Vice President, William Furnish, Secretary, Bob Whittington, Treasurer, William Ford. Our representatives in the Student Council were Gene Miller and Henry Kidder. During our Freshman year we had as our guide, Miss Reed, to point our way. To her we wish to express our most heartfelt gratitude for her counsel. ' The following September with a little algebra vaguely in our heads and some Latin, we more arrogantly returned to resume our journey. Commencing our second mile we chose as oflicers: William Furnish, presi- dent, Margery Leach, vice-presidentg Jeanne Latson, secretary, and Gene Mil- ler, treasurer. Members of the Sophomore Class chosen to voice our opinions in the Student Council were Rosemary Landis, Philip Pifer, Carroll Lewis, and Patterson Pepple. With a surprising amount of timidity discarded somewhere along the way, we began to find our courses into those by paths of school life--extra-curricular activities. Warren Widner and Carroll Lewis demonstrated the athletic ability of the class by their work on the varsity and reserve basketball squads, respectively. Jeannette Jones, Patterson Pepple, Jane Parmenter, Helen Reese, Bob Whittington, and Patricia Snovel gave us hopes that perhaps a Richard Halli- burton or a Dorothy Thompson might emerge from the ranks of the class of '38 by their literary endeavors on the Weekly Mirror. To our Sophomore supervisor, Miss Howey, go our most sincere thanks for her advice. At last, attaining the heights and dignity of upperclassmen, we could look down upon the Sophomores and Freshmen with traditional scorn. No longer were we to be trampled upon by our elders. I Our Junior ollicers were President, William Furnishg Vice President, Dor- othy Harterg Secretary, Jeanne Latson, and Treasurer, David Rodgers. Serving on the Student Council were Margery Leach, Rosemary Landis, Donald Krone, Gene Miller, Bob Whittington, and Philip Pifer. During this memorable year, Donald Schwartzkopf and Bob Swisher helped the Dragons to pursue the pigskin about the gridiron, while the Junior devotees of basketball were Darrell O'Connell, Carroll Lewis, Ray Snyder,Vand Harry Zapp. As members of the golf team, Bob Johnson and Allen XViseley showed promise. Philip Pifer was the only junior to receive a letter 111 tCI'l111S- Virginia Byrd, Edward Foster, Miriam Butts, Rosemary L311diS, PatterSOI1 Pepple and Paul Yant rhetorically represented our class lin' debate.
