SCHOOL ACTIVITIE FORM THE ' OWM OF STUDE T LIFE Although academic achievement is the objective of any high school, it formed but one phase of student life at Central. School-sponsored ac- tivities involved a majority of stu- dents and tilled much of their tree time. Football and basketball games occupied many a Friday and Satur- day night tor team supporters and were climaxed by such special events as a Roaring Twenties' Home- coming and the annual Turkey Day Game. Various mixers and dances were interspersed throughout the year and added more memorable nows to the lives ot students. Stu- dent Council promoted school spirit with its newly instituted Spirit Stick. This new and impressive symbol in- stilled a sense of pride in Centralites and stirred interest in all major ac- tivities of Peoria High. i' 5

0 W- TIME OF CHANGE The outside world-that of politics and current events--could not but influence the lives of students at Cen- tral. With all three Presidential candidates visiting the city of Peoria, PHS'ers were able to become active- ly involved in campaigns and to get a glimpse of the man destined to lead this country. The Presidential election, how- ever, was merely one aspect of cur- rent events that caught the attention of students. A willingness to help and to understand urged many to form just talking it over groups, while others participated in various social programs such as Head Start. A sincere concern for the outside World formed just another part of the now through which Peoria High students wandered this year. 'ati
