On the morning of September 5, 1943, one hundred fifty anxious little boys and girls entered the first grade at their respective grade schools. These were trying times but full of enlightening experiences such as scraped knees, running noses, and especially the drudgery of memorizing those multiplication tables but we came through with flying colors. Finally, the big day came--Our first day at Xenia Central. What a thrill to have our own lockers, to change classes, and to be able to rub elbows with those big, dignified seniors. Our first real social event was Junior High Night. What a big affair! Imagine, having a date, seeing our boys playing basketball, and then going to a dance! fDoing the two-stepj Time marches on. We are freshmen now and our responsibil- ities are beginning to make themselves known. We chose our schedule and clubs, attended high school assemblies and dances and made new friends. ln our sophomore year we had the distinction of choosing our class officers. They were John Moore, president, Dick Jordan, vice-presidentg Phil Anderson, secretary, Betty Glass, treasurer. Our advisers were Miss Huston and Mr. Boxwell. We sponsored our first dance Cat Hat Capers which was a big success. We also sponsored a class picnic at Shawnee Park. ln 1953 our busiest year faced us. John Moore was re-elected president, Dick Jordan, vice-president, but Betty Glass gave her checkbook to Gerry Huth. She took over the pad and pencil as sec- retary. Our advisers were Miss Davis and Mr. Seilhamer. We sponsored the second dance of the year, Pigskin Prance, Our treasury filled, as receipts from the refreshment sales poured in. We took real pains in presenting our class play, Growing Pains. Our biggest headache was the prom and banquet. We displayed our originality by having A Night in Venice in the fieldhouse. Another new idea of our class was the all night party at the Y which featured the nationally known male quartet The Crewcuts. Seniors at last! What a year! Guess who we elected presi- dent. None other than John Harry Moore. The other officers were Dave Hinshaw, vice-president, Soula Dontchos, secretary, and Phil Flake Anderson, treasurer. Our advisers were Mrs. Balmer and Mr. Neff. We started the year witha wonderful spirit. For the first time aCentral football team received a state rating. Belles On Their Toes, our senior class play, highlighted six weeks of hard work by the whole class. The really big project of the year is our annual, the Cen-Sen, the biggest and best ever. Slowly and surely the day is coming when we shall leave this place of fond memories. 44
