CENTENNIAL SCHOOLS - PAST AND PRESENT ln September of 1955 the doors of William Tennent High School in Johnsville were opened for the first time, and here most of us began our three years of senior high school. Our ninth grade year had been spent in the former Upper Southampton-Warminster Joint High School in Southampton which has since been converted to elementary school use and is now called the George C. Shelmire Elementary School. Prior to our Freshman year we had spent our school days in buildings in the districts in which we lived. Those of us who resided in Warminster will always remember our one year in the then new Centennial Elemen- tary School. Here we had come from the other Warminster buildings: the Lacey Park School, the Warminster Elementary School, and even the old fire house. lvyland School was and is a two room schoolhouse. Here those of us from lvyland learned our fundamentals as we moved up through the grades. As the iointure came into being, we moved into the rooms of the new Centennial Elementary Building with the students from Warminster. Few Students from Southampton missed being placed in the Old Stone Building for at least one grade during their elementary school years. Today this building next to the Shelmire School houses the Southampton Kinder- garten. Another memory to those of us from Southampton is the Youth Center which had been converted to class- room use. Elementary school to a few of us was the Christ's Home Elementary School off York Road in Warminster. Aerial view of William Tennent High School Centennial Elementary Mus 1 yi Q school it 2

KATHLEEN SINKLER PATRICIA GREENWALD QUEEN OF THE MAY AND HER ROYAL COURT In January the boys of the senior class nominated tive girls who they thought had the qualifications needed for a worthy and charming May Queen: school spirit, scholarship, character, contributions to the school, and beauty. Later, during a special assembly, each candidate was presented to the student body by her campaign manager, Patricia Greenwald by Frank Severn, Judith Kauffman by Charles Martini, Estelle Saunders by Donald Cole, Edna Mae Schiesser by Forrest Klinger, and Kathleen Sinkler by Joseph Ahumada. At the close of the assembly the students were given the opportunity to vote for the girl they wanted for queen. The result of the voting was kept secret until the evening of the Coronation in May when Edna Mae Schiesser was crowned Queen of the May and reigned over the annual Coronation Ball.
