SENIOR CLASS PAST-This past year was a memorable one for the seniors. The class made an outstanding record for itself in every activity in which it participated. To guide them through their last year at Central, the group chose four worthy and competent officers who in turn ap- pointed committees that worked tirelessly and without recognition. The fall and winter found dues collecting and later Christmas decorating going on. This spring the com- mittees worked toward Commencement with organized groups selecting caps and gowns, announcements, and a suitable memorial. Important among this year's events were Home- coming on October 26 and the coronation of the May King and Queen, which took place April 26. Both occasions were followed by well-planned and well-attended dances in the school gym. Other school dances were the Paul Bunyan Dance after the Columbus West-Central football game, and the carnival basketball games were highlighted by the Carnival Caper. Central was host to South at the Witches' Waltz on October 26, while the Centralites were invited to the Stardust Serenade given by South on March 30. The Who's Who Contest gave popularity honors to many senior students who had long looked forward to this annual competition. The contest was climaxed by Whozit Whirl on Feb- ruary 21. The fine dramatic talent of a number of the members was displayed in the pre- sentation of the Troubadourian play Lost Horizon on january 26 and the senior class play Mollie O'Shaughnessey on April 6. To fourteen of the senior Thespians was given the honor of membership in the National Thespian Honorary Dramatic Society, the aim of all Central's amateur actors and actresses, and to fourteen journalists was given the honor of membership in the Quill and Scroll Society. In the operetta Naughty Mari- etta given May 4 and 5, the musical ability of many seniors was aptly exhibited. The senior class was well represented in the musical organizations-Senior A Cappella Choir, Senior Band, Senior Orchestra and General Chorus, and many members of the class won high rating in the district and state musical contests. The senior class was most proud of its members who brought honor to Central by their excellent standing in the State Scholarship test given February 10 in 307. The senior boys excelled in sports, both var- sity and intramural, while the girls spent many noons in G.A.A. activities. To honor the senior lettermen the C Association dinner was held at Shawnee Country Club on June 1. April 21 marked the date of the senior class party given in the school gym. On Senior Distinction Day, April 26, the seniors were given the job of directing all school activities and instructing all classes. The Junior-Senior Prom on May 29 was the last school dance of the year and also the last social activity for the seniors as students of Central. More than one senior was dewy-eyed as he sat through the baccalaureate service held at Trin- ity Methodist Church on june 3, commencement on June 7 climaxed four notable high school years. PRESENT-The good times in Home Room 307 highlight the senior days at Central. For the first time in six years the class is together as a group. To help make their last year of high school a successful one, they are fortunate in having Miss A. Ruth Moore and Mr. Lyle Barber as home room teachers and Miss Margaret Rimer as supervisor. FUTURE-Only Father Time will be able to tell what the members of the 1951 senior class will be doing in the future. Let's hope that they attain success in whatever field they choose, and we are sure that the class of 1951 will never be forgotten. Diane Lora and Marianne Baird -21-
