The Crusader is challenged . . Sandra R. Kubmfelq Certainly we all remember that day in early September 1959-our first at Central. Excited and apprehensive, we mounted the stairs leading to our new life. After over- coming some confusion in our new sur- roundings, we were completely acclimated. Then we eagerly awaited our chance to take part in high school activities and to become an integral part of the school. And what activity could have filled us better with loyalty and spirit than joining the upper classmen in cheering our football team? Although this year's team was a po- tential great, because of bad luck and an in- jury sustained by fullback Don Stone Cwho seemed to have had a certain fondness for dancingj we ended the season with a 5-3-l record. But we haven't yet forgotten such names as Boyd lajesnica, Lloyd Wells, Gus Giardi and our own classmates Iames Psale- das, and lay Rozmus. At that time we were introduced to an- other side of high school life previously un- known to us: self-government. Because the Student Council was so large, our freshmen representatives held separate meetings on alternate Mondays. Among their projects was the adoption of a Code of Ethics, ten basic standards of behavior for the students of Central, organization of the Moon Ia drive, and formulation of plans for a No- vember dance. Our first freshman semi-formal was held on November Znd at the Smyth Road School. The girls wore dresses of the prettiest pastel shades and the boys displayed their most chivalrous air. How mature we had grown in just two short months! The Monday after the dance we returned to our balcony homerooms and Latin con- jugations, prepared for more surprises. The days sped by and Christmas drew near. At last we were permitted to see an assembly. A special performance of g'Why the Chimes Rangu was presented for the freshmen since they could not attend regular assemblies be- cause of the crowded conditions. After Christmas the time Hew by rapidly and Central Week, the most memorable event of that year, began. From March 14th to March 19th we attended all the after- school programs designed to increase enthu- siasm. Up and down the halls posters with such slogans as, L'Let,s keep the Little Green little-Vote for Gus or Don't sweat the small stuff-Vote Iazzv, were hung. As the campaign grew more intense we wondered who Mr. and Miss Central would be. The week ended with the crowning of Lloyd Wells and Phyllis Phaup as Mr. and Miss Central. Other candidates were Leonard Green, Gus Giardi. Boyd laiesnica. Gloria Gaumont, Iudy Pelletier, Dianne Kula and Iudy Wageman. 1959-1960 was a wonderful year. We all hummed songs like '4It's Time To Cry' and Everybody,s Somebodyfs Fool walking to and from class, and who didn't see the movie A Summer Placen? The trend in clothing also changed this year. From yards and yards of petticoats and full skirts we switched to a more tailored look-the straight and pleated skirts. And girls, whose Hrst name initial did you wear then?
