SE IOR CREW school books and took up arms in defense of our nation in their sophomore year and the summer following. ELEVENTH GRADE We feel like Mr, In-Betweenf but carry on regardless. The brilliant suntans of Lulu Hovey, Rae Holmberg, Delores Harrington, Mary Lawrence, and Deany Zirkel gave ample proof of their work as cherry pickers, while guys like Iohnny Malas slaved away in canning factories. The Skeedeetindotin Club composed of fifteen juniors had its origin in August and really got under way. Home Room 307 got up and took a bow when the three junior cheerleaders plus the drum majorette Hled in. Through shifting crowds of half-starved high school kids, Man demanded strict enforcement of the Eat More's rules, but lost out in the end. Too bad! A genial love between the sophomores and juniors sprang up the moment the tenth grade boys raised their heads, and the eleventh grade gals saw the solution to the class night problem one year away, for our male ranks were continually thinning. The swift tempo set in the hunting for rides to the tournament at Mayville kept many a normally idle head active, while all around could be seen evidences of the high tension of sport fans in their hopes to go. Thanks to Miss Morris and others of our faculty, many were overjoyed when a way to Mayville seemed to appear magically. When track season came, many an enthusiastic eye was fastened on this, the least publicized of Central sports. An all-city meet was held, however, and many were thrilled by feats of running and jumping. Famous couples of this year were Paska-Bonham, Malas-Hinze, and Rector- Duane combinations. It may be truly said that their romances were so bright they sparkledl Although the girls pleaded, Uncle Sam Sent forth his long arm and gathered from our midst boys we'll never forget-Frank Trapino, Fred Brice, Sam Daleo, George Wallace, Iohn Motisi, Bill Ferger, Richard Butler, Iohn Kastner, Duane Natvig. SENIORS-AT LAST! Ah, we made it, we've got the school at our bidding, we run things--yet we find ourselves wishing we were freshmen again. After four years some of us finally wake up to the fact that teachers are human and fun tool With the pressing menace of class night minus males, making us mentally fatigued-Miss Shepard obligingly sees that body and soul match, as we become physical recknisses . In the fall of this, our last year, many seniors welcomed with open arms the much-talked-about Youth Center, the Loft. This is the accomplishment of coordina- tion among schools, and may it always remain sol Top couples of the year were Don Schiro and Audrey O'Neill, Ozzie Osborn and Iannette Lindauer, Tom Beale and Deany Zirkel, Tony Peterson and Iackie Franey, and Tom Fuller and Bev Evans. Now, we're seniors and still like the sophs. Remember the Faust-Morey, Dean- Knutson episodes and the Moran-Menigo, Merkle-Wakem, Wilkinson-Wilcox series? Mr. Gross' speech class struggled with an operetta under such trying conditions as the giggling of Betty Fruth, Lois Pease, Delores Doane, and Delores Wilkinson, to say nothing of Louie Rosen's outbursts. The Covered Wagon went to Columbus. That isn't a joke. The Covered Wagon was the name given to a small covered pick-up truck that proved a Godsend by way of transportation to the tournaments for 13 senior girls. Class meetings were a credit to the school by way of orderliness, and general accomplishments. As a result of our class meetings a semi-formal was held in May in place of our usual class night dance. Commencement, always one of the most serious steps we take, is even more so this year as we are the 100th graduating class from Central. As we leave, we take with us many memories which will furnish the material to bear us up when the pressure of life hangs heavy. Our only regret is that so many boys cannot be with us to put an end to a very vital portion of our lives. l29l f I!

D., a sizable group of gangling teen-agers entered the red brick halls of learning for their first time. These years of youth and freedom, which slowly but deftly weave the pattern of our futures, leave an unforgettable saga of happiness in our memories. In an effort to conceal our anxiety on that opening day, we managed to restrain ourselves from making too early an entrance-arriving at 7:50. By 8:20 we had located our home rooms, but after a short breathing spell, we found ourselves once more enthralled in a seemingly endless crowd looking for period one classes. This continued throughout the first day. We arrived at classes late, or became entirely lost, but we learned eventually. According to custom, home room officers are elected early in the year, so that the duties may at all times be properly handled. Room 27, however, pulled a slight upset to the usual procedure, when they impeached Carl Starkus and decided to set up a dictatorship-remember those Victory Viviani' signs? When programs were finally straightened out, school work balked because the freshmen were content to sit and drool over senior high men, that is, all except Bev Dean who went out and got her man. While school was becoming a restful routine, the brilliant minds of the gang decided to change things, and as a result several big parties were thrown. Sigh-sigh-and all the little female hearts went a-flutter as Rod Menigo and Don big wordsi' Schiro sallied forth. Miss Bartholomew's second period algebra class would not have been complete without Ben Levinis one-man gum performance. Chewing a package at a time and consequently having a healthy wad at the end of his nose constituted two of his achievements. Excitement reigned supreme when joint junior-senior pep rallies were called, for that year we 'icoppedn the Big Eight title for football and basketball. Initiation of milk during third period furnished an incentive to junior business people to bring a few cookies to wash the milk down. QBunny Prantner gloried in this practice., The underwear scene from Elmer', seemed to be so shocking that reinforce- ments were promptly sent out to Phil Gandolph. Hansel and Gretel , a top hit, found Marcheta Porter casting aside her gla- mour for the part of the toothless old witch while Shirley Gerlach portrayed Gretel and Margaret Maloney, her mother. Yes, and Betty Hovey was an angel then. Many of our class gained the honor of being members of the Iunior High Honor Society. When junior high C's were presented in the auditorium on awards day, little did others suspect how the bearers had labored for the required number of points,- that is, all except Rosie Wold and a few others like Georgiana Meiller. TENTH GRADE We thought we were even better. And why not? Weren't we full fledged mem- bers of senior high now? Fuller, Cuccia, and Menigo stayed on good behavior for no apparent reason, until the list of new Hi-Y members was published and we began to see the light. Double dating was a popular pastime that year, as the Evans-Moran, Faust- Fuller quartet took over a Hi-Y rendezvous. Geometry, always a hard nut to crack, was definitely so to one class in particu- lar, as they sampled each type of teachitrg with questionable results. Still geniuses like Neil Bodenstein might have triumphed. While the second year Latin class struggled along, second year Spanish seemed content just to drool over Cronkrite. fGirl's point of viewj That eventful year alsoi produced the Scheffler-Schneider-Kneebone triangle. While Central opened its heart to welcome Rae Holmberg, Mark Porter was concentrating on her class night date with Bob Evans. Strange as it seems, history was the brand name for a poetry writing brigade sixth periods. We cannot help missing such boys as Don Nonn, Bill Siehler, Carl Starkus, Bob Loshek, Dean Hirn, Dean Heft, Iohn Henry, Ken Williams, who laid aside their l28l
