Central Campus Scenes HOME OF THE FISHES The plentiful, varied show props here at Central provide scenery and setting for one of the most campuses in the South. These props for our play, which include the sunken garden and pool on the front lawn, are as inspiring a setting for our show as we might wish. The pool, stocked with mammoth geld fish and surrounded by holly and evergreen trees, is scenery cre- ated by the Great Creator, which provides an atmosphere of seren- ity, peace, and relaxation for the daily production of our show at LRCHS. CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS At Christmas time the com- panions and associations which we have made at LRCHS become especially important. Similarly, the sets of our Christmas activi- ties are meaningful. The scenery on the front steps of the building depicting Mary and the Holy Babe; on the field house, of Santa Claus and troup; and the lights and decorations to accompany our feelings during this gay, yet holy, season provided holiday back- ground aplenty for Christmas and the New Year 1957.

MISS EARNESTINE OPIE Dedication Few people ever serve any school or community as long and as well as you have served Central High and this city. Few students pass through this school who do not come under your influence in some way or another, and fewer still leave our school and forget you. We, the students and faculty, hold you in high esteem and great affection. For the daily service which you render to us, and for your kindness to us, we love you. It is with sincere regard and genuine devotion that we dedicate this edition of the PIX to you, as the great recorder in the Big Show of 1957. Vlx0 957 Pi Stuff 5

 THE TREE We think that we shall never see A poem lovely as this tree. From its real beauty, we'd detract With words about how we react; And so, we'll not expostulate But let you your own praises make. There is no paper moon, cardboard sky. or even muslin trees, as might be expected for props to a hit show. No, for the spectacular from Central High the sets are real. The shady lawn, towering trees, and the building, all in a sea of green are portions of the natural and architectural scenery of our show. All are tangible, living back- drops to our student life and to the daijy drama of Central High . . . our big show.
