fourteen Senior Class History ERY soon the Class of 1935 will be leaving this good old school. There are three things which we will carry with us: our diplomas, symbolic of an education: memories of the past four years, and the thought of what is before us. So much has been crowded into four short years that very little of it can be recorded here. As we look back to the days when we first came to Central, proud, happy, trembling with excitement, wondering what would happen next, we recall many things. We laugh when we think of the teasing remarks the Sophs made to bring us to the realization that after all we were only youngsters. Our sophomore days too, are fresh in our minds. It seems but a day or two ago that we ourselves were teasing the Ereshies, sending them to the wrong rooms, keeping them off the front steps, etc. Our junior year stands out as the time when we were the best students, but our senior year was the happiest year of all. Our first year passed slowly. We struggled along in general science and Latin. We had the most terrible time skinning through algebra. English was our only comfort. Early in the year elections were held and Charles Crosser was made president: Eugene Bessire, vice president: Wilbur Miller, secretary: and Betty Watson, treasurer. Hilda Winemiller and Robert Light were elected to represent the Freshmen in the Student Council. At last the long awaited vacation arrived and with many sighs of relief at being Ereshies no longer, we packed our books away, forgot school, and proceeded to have a good time. Miss Ruth Reed, as advisor, capably guided us in tha: happy year. Those of us who returned in September were a decided improvement on the tired little Ereshies who had left. Some of us had added many inches to our height. We had lost our babyish looks and ways. Mirrors began to appear in the girls' lockers and the boys began to slick up. We now had the traditional assurance of Sophs. We learned to dance, joined clubs, developed our dramatic talent, and studied just a little harder. The honor roll claimed some thirty-five Sophomores. In the class election. Charles Crosser was chosen president: Dorothy Krueger, vice president: Robert Light, secretary: and Don Paul, treasurer. Hilda Winemiller, Robert Snyder, Don Wright, and Joe Dunlap were placed on the Council. Bob Atkinson was made a cheerleader. Miss Gayle Howey lent her support in making our second year at Central successful. One short year later we awakened to the fact that we were upperclassmen. This was the year that we began to stay around school till about four o'clock, to show our interest in school affairs and athletics. Charles Crosser again received the honor of being president: Bob Snyder, vice president: Robert Light, secretary: and Don Paul, treasurer. Those selected for the Student Council were Hilda Winemiller, Helen Armstrong, Don Wright, Don Hensler, Bill Mereness. Dorothy Krueger. It Won't Be Long Now, the Junior Class Play, was presented by a cast consisting of Bill Mereness. Robert Light. Helen Arm- strong, Harriet Solomon, Bob Atkinson, Helen Smith. Dick Ciantz, David
