Very little time was wasted at the start of the school year by teachers, including Mrs. Ann Graves (above), in getting down to the business of teaching. Here. Mrs. Graves instructs a senior English class.(Below) Mrs. Brenda James passes out trig books in one of her classes at the opening of school. Having her picture made for the 1985 P1X yearbook is senior Michelle Lackey. Most seniors had pictures made during the previous spring: however, those who missed the pictures had the chance to have them made on a make-up day in September. Before the start of the school year, it has become traditional for upperclassmen to go to the homes of sophomores and kidnap them for the purpose of initiating them as Tigers. (Left) Sophomores Julie Orloski and Terri Meyer find that the initiation can be messy. (Above) Smiles fill the faces of these sophomores following their initiation as Tigers. Opening—15

Tigei Spirit Vespites the loss of two major pep organizations, student spirit at Central High shows no declines Central lost two major spirit organizations this school year. These two groups were the Pep Club, which had been used as a training ground for girls interested in joining other spirit groups, and the Tigerettes, one of the state’s first high school dance teams. Despite the loss of these two organizations, student spirit didn’t suffer. I think we were just as spirited this school year as last school year or the year before,’’ student body president Elgin Clemons, a senior, said. A good indication that the 1984-85 school year was a spirited one was the popularity of the various dress-up days. We had tremendous participation in dress-up days prior to major athletic events.” Clemons said. Though spirit is often judged by student attendance and yelling at athletic events, it extended into other areas. In fact, it was evident in all phases of school life this year, according to Clemons. With her face painted in black and gold, junior Melissa Hobby (above) works on a Homecoming float. (Left) Varsity cheerleader Larken Pahlow leads a yell. Almost any product this school year bearing a logo of a tiger and the name Central High was a guaranteed success, such as the mugs (above) sold in November by the senior class.
