 Do you remember how thrilling it was to think of being a Freshman in high school? Four short years ago a group of wide-eyed boys and girls en- tered upon a new phase of education. We were anxious to start with the subjects we had chosen, some of which were very new to us. At our first class meeting Bill Harwell was chosen President. This year skating parties were all the rage, so practically everyone learned to skate— or at least tried. As the year was draw- ing to a close, the Freshman class en- joyed a sw imming part) at Harris’ Lake. During the year death claimed one of our classmates. Joe Neel. Having enjoyed our vacations, we re- turned in September filled with exciting stories of our experiences throughout the summer. We were greeted by many new members of the faculty: Mr. Mor- gan. Superintendent of the Schools: Mr. Scott. Principal: and among the others. Mr. Klepfer. the new band director. Her- bert Roberts was elected to the honor- able position of Sophomore President. The highlight of the year was Stunt Nile originated by the Junior Class. The Ballet Skit presented by our own Sophomore boys won first prize. Several concerts were presented by the Band and Glee Club, climaxed by District and State Contests in which both received superior ratings. Before we realized the fact, another year rolled around bringing with it all the pride and responsibility of being Juniors. For our ollicers we elected: Howard Aldinon, President: Davies Mc- Lelland, Vice-President: Nolan Young, Secretary: and Herbert Roberts. Treas- urer. Soon Stunt Nile came again. We presented the skit “Vaughn Goodman’s Orchestra , hut since we were sponsor- ing Stunt Nile and thus were not eligible for first prize, received the special com- mendation of the judges. Alex Sherrill received first prize for his superb pres- entation of the “Sugar Blues . The pro- ceeds from Stunt Site were to be used for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Soon all the members of our «lass were busily engaged in making plans for this coming event. This year we used the Pan-Ameri- can motif. The gym was arranged night- club style. After the sumptuous meal, dancing to the sweet strains of Claude Little and his Orchestra was enjoyed by all. Near the end of the year Junior Mar- shals were selected to help with the graduation exercises of our parting Sen- ior friends. At Commencement our class received the Rotary Cup for being the “Best-All-Round Class” of the year. When September came again we were back at Central Hi. but this time as dig- nified Seniors. Expectations were great for the coming year. To lead our class through this year we chose: Charles Up- right. President: Paul Rogers, Vice- President: George Pressley, Secretary; and Virginia Money, Treasurer. Delcie Stanford was elected Editor-in-Chief of the Sampler, and Paul Rogers, Editor of the Central Times. Howard Aldinon became President of the Student Council. J. B. Davis left our class to become a member of the Air Forces. Our time was filled with the duties and various activities of Senior life— exams, dances, athletics, the Senior Play, concerts, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and last, but not least by any means, Com- mencement. Now we are completing this part of our education, and anxiously awaiting the future with great anticipation. Pat Millsaps Bob Davidson Class Historians ♦ 18 ♦
