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.

ON wig Burrowing down staircases and bulldozing through the halls posed problems for 2,300 Centralites. Art students Jesse Walker lon thc ladderj and Larry Thompson mount a one-way sign for more roomy passage between classes. The result was an ef- fective improvement made with the cooperation of students. -nb el 3:15 Double lunch hours gave Central couples little opportunity to eat together at either 11:00 a. m. or noon. Helping Dana Huff- man off with her coat is friend Tod Miller. They meet and pass at the split lunch time with merely a Hi. ' or a small chat. Question No. 1: Do You Go 8 - 3 or 9 - 4? Where is the first place Centralites congregate when entering the building? The auditorium, naturally or unnaturally! A conglomeration of activities takes place once students are seated. Some study, some talkg others use the time catching-up on sleep. x. There've been some changes made around the crowded halls of Central. With approximately 2300 students, traffic in the halls and on the stair- ways was becoming too heavy to allow safe travel. Although seniors tried to relieve the congestion by selling tickets for their private escalator to unsuspecting green peas, school officials de- cided that a more efficient solution was needed. Such was the start of one-way stairs, which elim- inated the battle of the bulge between up-going and downward-bound students between classes. Staggered schedules proved inevitable haz- ards to lunch hour buddies who found themselves with different eating periods. However, those stu- dents who gained an extra hour of sleep by the 9 :00-to-4 :00 schedule rather than the 8 :00-to-3 :00 arrangement agreed that the change was a good one. Congregation in the auditorium in some cases was voluntary, in others mandatory. Staggered schedules caused students who arrived before 9:00 classes to wait in the auditorium. 17
