He has guided us with an un¬ yielding spirit and has never let us down when things got rough. He has been a warm-hearted friend, always giving us the best consola¬ tion. After graduation we know that we will retain the little deeds of kindness which he has bestowed upon us. It is with great pride and thankfulness that we express our gratitude.

Class C’s No. 1 Band Under the direction of Mr. David Kjellberg and with the hard work put in by the students, the Senior High Band obtained a well earned I rating, and was able to go to the state festival. The picture on the left is a rest period the day the band went to Battle Creek for the state festival. 14 The 7th grade band has shown much work and effort in the path to becoming better musicians. Central’s Younger Musicians The 7th and 8th grade bands have entertained many people dirring the year at the concerts. They participated in the Christmas Concert and they also participated in the Spring Concert. By these concerts, it is plain to see that these are the musicians that will someday become the members of the Senior High Band. Both bands are directed by Mr. David Kjellberg. Our 8th grade band shows great promise in band quality. 15 Central’s Typing can always provide thrills, as shown by this students expression. FHA Initiation Ceremony.

Win, We Will WIN Although losing their first three games, the Standish-Sterling Panthers bounced back into the heated NBC basketball race winning some close ones. Thrills and chills and even some tears were dealt to the Panther team. Even through the scream¬ ing of the fans and their defeats, they managed to keep their cool. At the districts when we played in the overtime with Oscoda and the heartbreaker with Tawas, never once did they say die. As Coach Carson says, Hey team, yea team, we ' re proud of you! Reboimds can make the difference between a win and a lose. Here Jack Allen and Chel Riopelle are in there fighting.

There ' s No Joy In the dugout are several of the guys waiting for their turn at bat. The year of 1968 did not bring a great baseball season to our never- give-up boys or to their coach, Mr. Colberg. In fact, it was a rather disappointing season. The boys won one game with West Branch and a tournament game with Bangor-John Glenn. Disappointing yes, but wait ' til next year! The home baseball games which are held at the Sterling field do not draw great crowds, but the kids who do go have a Blast.

Miss Dale Southworth in her stunning white hat and sunglasses. 78 Times Together It was a week filled with places to go. There was Boston, Salem, Cape Cod, and Cambridge all to be toured and discovered by us eager seniors. Then there was Niagara Falls where we had dinner at the Towers Restaurant. Yes, it was a week of excite¬ ment, fun, and exhaustion; but mostly a week which has given us many memories never to be forgotten. On the way to Cape Cod one of the places we stopped was the Kennedy Memorial. this statue representing Peace, Liberty, Education and Morality. Franklin ' s grave was one of the sights we saw on Freedom ' s Trail. At Marble Head the boys all became daring mountain climbers. In fact, some of the girls did, too. At Last We Are Rewarded The solemness of the occasion is reflected in the face of Norman Kocot as he marches Gold honor cords and tossels were presented to the honor in. students, Ron Mutch, Richard Perlberg, Wendy Pataky, and Cheryl Fisk, by the Kiwanis Club. The Valedictorian, Ron Mutch, gave an excellent speech. His main point was that because we are graduating and just be¬ ginning our lives, we are the ones who have the opportunity to make ' The Goal of Yesterday The Starting Point of Tomor¬ row ' . Richard Perlberg ' s Salu¬ tatory address was equally as good. As he said, We may be small in quantity, but we are large in quality. IjUA t 80 For Our Ejforts The message was delivered by Dr. James Costar. He talked to the seniors on find¬ ing happiness in life. Mrs. Netslaff waits as her stu¬ dents receive diplomas. It is a little sad to leave high school, for memories of friends and good times linger. Graduation, however, is made up more of excitement than of saddness. We are now on the verge of our lives, and we look to the future with hope. This feeling is described in this passage of the poem COMMENCEMENT by Norman Vincent Peale, which was used in the Valedictory ad¬ dress; How appropriate to call graduation a commence¬ ment. For it is not an ending, but a beginning. There were eighteen seniors who achieved an average of over 8.0. This is quite an accomplishment for a class of only 87, and these seniors must have been very proud to have been called to the front of the gym. They are from left to right; S. Kowalczyk , P.
