.14 cl K arriec! fo flue jour ornerfi 0 flue garfl DONALD RALPH WALLS General Centreville All fbingf require rkill, bu! an appetite. Donald, who has been a star soccer, basketball and baseball player for four years at Centreville High, was made captain of both the soccer and basketball teams this year. In soccer, Donald broke the school record for number of goals scored in a season, in basketball, he broke the school record for points scored in a single game. With such a record, it is easy to see why he was elected president of the athletic council this year. Strange that Donald, being captain of the basketball team, should have more than passing interest in the captain of the girls' basketball team. Donald likes swimming and eating and wishes that all classes in school were shop and physical education. Who knows but that in a few years Donald's name will be on the sports pages in leading newspapers as one of the top players in the World Series. MARVIN EDGAR WALLS General Church Hill Thou bait Jo muff? fun and wit abou! thee. Marvin is one of our well-dressed seniors who is usually smil- ing. He was secretary of the class in the seventh grade, is our homeroom president this year and also the class representative on the Student Council, Marvin played soccer for two years and enjoys physics and algebra, although his favorite pastimes are eating, sleeping and gunning. His pet peeves are English litera- ture and girls who talk too much on dates. Marvin has been in our three operettas and was Charlie in the senior play. Marvin wants to join the armed forces and we expect him to become a general. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .............. . ........ ....... ....... I a ne Swan Vice-President ......... .........

jade 36271, CLASS HISTORY Whether as seniors we are viewing our freshly printed copy of the YEARLING or in later years we are looking at the same edition which has acquired a scuffed cover, our appreciation of the value of our years at C. H, S. shall be the same. Actually, our individual stories began approximately eighteen years ago when we were born. We knew only a few of our high school graduating class then, but we gradually began to broaden our circles of friendship, taking one of our first important steps when we entered the first grade. Through our years in elementary school we learned, besides the three R's, what a big role cooperation plays in our daily life. Then we took another big jump, from the sixth grade into junior high, where the necessity for cooperation became even greater. As seventh graders we produced an operetta, entitled 'lShe Didn't Believe, and a science program which consisted of a summary of the water supply systems of Centreville and Baltimore. In the eighth grade, we presented another Christmas operetta, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, of which we are especially proud because we wrote it ourselves. Our last year of junior high was highlighted by our work with the seniors of '49 in producing Sun- bonnet Sue and by the picnic we had at Barton's Beach instead of a class party. Other important events included three trips to Baltimore to see the operas, Othello and The Marriage of Figaro , and the operetta, Oklahoma, Because there was no graduating class in 1950, the annual Junior-Senior Prom was replaced by the Spring Hop, a semi-formal dance which we sponsored as tenth graders. Also that year we helped the school athletic department to present a gymkhana program. The main event of our junior year, of course, was the prom which we consider a very well-planned social function. Surely no one will forget the trips the history classes took that year-one to the Annapolis Naval Academy and one to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Not to be forgotten also was the tour the chemistry class took through the steel mill at Claymont, Delaware. As juniors we selected our class rings, ever-present tokens of our high school days. The last, but not least, of our years at C. H. S. presented the problems which confront all high school seniors-selection of name cards and announcements, taking of pictures for the yearbook, finishing the rough copy of the YEARLING before the dead line, production of the class play fwe are very proud of our work on Tish j, last minute arrangements for college or for employment after graduation, planning for the class trip fwe chose New York as our destinationj,-up to and including practicing for the final march up the aisle. Graduation came at last, and with it came the realization that it was the end of our living together as a class. We're on our own now, headed toward the stars, reaching for the next rung in the ladder of success, groping about in unfamiliar territory for a firm stand with regard to the future. Looking back, we can only say thanks to the school for offering itself to us as a haven during the uncertainty of our youth, and to all our teachers whose -complete understanding and untiring efforts have guided us wisely in our thinking and acti.ng. We realize that the best years of our lives lie just ahead and, regardless of the existing threat of war, our twelve happy years of school life have taught us to be able to face the future confidently.
