Every year some new craze comes along, causing a rush to stores by students who must keep up with the times. This year was no differ- ent from others where fads were concerned. Clothes always seemed to occupy the lime- light as the flair appeared toward casual-ity and kept the student body interestingly attired - from head to toe. Sporty chapeaus were balanced atop many a masculine head. Blaziers continued to be the rage this year, with jackets appearing in new shades of brown, navy, and dark green. Vests with pleated skirts and chemettes were molded around practically every high school girl at one time or another. Short skirted kilts with long bermuda socks or leotards could be seen at any informal affair as well as the popular white tennis shoes which were footnotes to nearly every ensemble which the gals the monitor's desk. Discussing their current thoughts while Wore. standing in the front hall here were Jean Ann Reser, Joann Keppler imonitorj, Jackie Taylor, Bernie Anderson, and Don Van Dyke.

. 5 . . 3 L ' Pleasure and education combined were seen at The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C., familiar to 55 Centralites who ventured on the Spring Trip through the arrangement of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. No Munseytowners are pictured. Students of today are filled with get-up-and- go - that is get up early in the morning and go on trips. Seniors annually travel to see the sights of Washington, D. C., and New York City during the spring, and, as customary, once again two bus- loads of students journeyed over the U. S. to visit the George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Monuments, the White House, Rockefeller Center and the Statue of Liberty fto mention a few of the highpoints of the jaunt.D Chicago is always a point of attraction when groups decide to pack up and leave for a weekend's excursiong thus the combined Band and Orchestra group as well as several F. H. A.'ers toured the Windy City this year. We were Indianapolis bound this year during the basketball tourneys. Speaking of sports, many of us attended away games during football and basketball seasons. Also several Centralites served as pages for the Indiana General Assembly at the State House. Our Distributive Education Club really splurged and went all the way to Tacoma, Wash- ington, for a national convention during early spring. 7 Centralites Became Seasoned Voyagers Boarding a train at Cincinnati Train Terminal are Central seniors who enjoyed themselves on the five-day TVashigton-New York trip. Train riding proved uncomfortable, but miles of walk- ing also proved the train seats a welcomed and wonderful relief. A trip to Butler Fieldhouse was perhaps the saddest of the year. Seniors Beth Whitney and Janet Moore reinforce bus decora- tions with heavy adhesive tape, while still in a jovial mood. - -- '! I f'L'GO 13

Central Opened Its Doors to Parents Parent visitation during open house is al- ways a source of delight to some students - and then to others it is more of a fright. This year Smart Sues as well as Rambunctious Ralphs were among the 2,300 Centralites who led their parents through the halls and into their several classrooms where they discussed their progress UD in each subject with their instructors. Senior Open House was the first visitation to be held this year. Appearing in the fall, it fea- tured decorations centering around the theme Au- tumn Serenadef' Senior Class Vice-President Ber- nard Anderson announced the acts. Dugan's chor- us line had spectators literally holding their sides, as they displayed amazing talent with a French chorus line. Qlncidentally, all of the can-can dan- cers were members of the masculine gender.J Next in line was Junior Open House, which was held around the holiday season and sported the title Sleigh Bells Ring. Kelly Nay, Stuart Gray, Dick Price, Mike Douglas, Phil Townsend, Pat Kelly, and Lowell Yoder composed the talented C?J group known as The Bests who stunned the audience by reciting this perplexing piece of po- etry: I had a ballg threw it against the wall. That's all! Junior Class President Gary Baney introduced the acts. Of course, last in line but not least were the sophomores who were Sophin' Around in the early spring. Gloria Rutherford did a modern dance with the assistance of Nick Van Winkle on drums and Louis Grieswell at the keyboard. Alan Howard, sophomore class chairman, served as master of ceremonies for the affair. 1'l'0l'j Voc-al and instrumental combination per- forming at Senior Open House in U1-tober con- sisted of Phil Stewart, Dare Clerenger, Bill Boyle, and Jim Cor. f1lIDllLEj Three Lads and a Dad - Tony Harris, Joe Harris, Barney Harris, and Chuck Harris - sing and joke at Junior Open House in December.
