Senior soloists from the A Cappella choir included James Horky, Barbara King, Deanne Shapiro and Judy Andersen. The A Cappella choir also entertained with selections from the "Mikado." The festival chorus, including the Girls' choir and glee classes trained by Miss Nancy Hunter, grandly concluded the event with "Glory, Laud and Honor" and "Roll Jordan, Roll." Alumni from the audience then joined the choirs, according to tradition, singing "Salvation is Created." Senior.

Auctioneer Isabella Threlkeld of Joslyn Art museum started the bidding at 25 cents. The highest bid for any painting was $7.80. Prints sold between 3 dollars and 4 dollars. - The profit from the auction will be used to buy a projector for the art department.

Cameras Click ~or Winning Babies by Terri Tabor Eighteen years ago, coaxing parents looked down upon cooing babies and snapped a picture for eternity, These pictureS-immortal as they are-have brought many a moment of bliss to parents and many a moment of despair to Student Council members. Three years ago Dick Ahlstrand, president of Student Council, decided to have a baby picture contest. The seniors brought their favorite pictures to school for display. This year, the Student Council sponsored another contest. Mrs. Jean Skinner, council adviser, and the senior council members judged the contest. Kenny Lundgren saying, "But, Mary, I wouldn't do thatl" was chosen as the cutest baby. The judges thought that Googi Andersen still retained the fresh glowing appearance of babYhood, and she was chosen as the baby least changed. Helen Shearer, however, was noticed because she changed so much as the years passed by. These pictures were displayed in the showcase on the third floor. Each winner received a gold trophy. -.

Senior Will As I approach the end of my term as president of the class of '61, I am mindful of my debt of gratitude to our graduating class for the high honor accorded me. In all humility, I sincerely thank the entire senior class for the opportunity given me to be of service during this most memorable of our four high school years. I also would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation and extreme pride in leading a graduation class that has contributed so much to Central's record in the fields of scholastic, athletic and community service. Scholastically, we have achieved three National Merit Scholarship awards out of a total of ten such grants to the entire State of Nebraska. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that our seniors were named as the outstanding math team of the state. In athletics, our seniors led Qentral to championships in football and track. In community service, members of our class last year were elected to the two top positions of Governor .and Justice of the Supreme Court at Boy's State and the top position of Governor at Girl's State. In debate and oratory our class has contributed to one of the outstanding varsity teams in Central's history-a team which brought 26 major awards to Central this year, which has never earned less than second place in any major competition. These are only a representative detailing of our class contributions to Central's record of accomplishment and excellent performance. For all of these past accomplishments, as well as for all that we hope to do in the future, we are deeply indebted to our many wonderful teachers, to our wise and outstanding counselors, and to our outstanding principal and assistant principal. Their leadership and teachings have influenced and molded our scholastic and teenage life and will deeply affect and help shape our adult life. _ .r- - It is therefore, in this appraisal, both past and future, that- we have selected our senior class motif as "The Unfinished Symphony;" for this phase of our life thaUs just about to finish is not really an ending, but only a beginning:-a sympnony of life yet to be completed in all of its possibilities and future promise! Though the class of '61 leaves the halls of Central High in just a few short days, we feel that our past record will not be forgotten. As to the future, though I am no prophet, I predict that our class will furnish many of the future leaders of this state and nation. No matter what our individual attainments, I know that each and every senior is proud and grateful to have been a part of Central High school.

CENTRAL lUGH is the name of this week's profile. When asked about her opinion of the 1961 seniors, she grinned and answered, :'1 have stood on the hill for a long time. Many guests have visited my house of learning. As I look back on these past four years, my thoughts are filled with happiness and pride. "I can remember when the seniors first stumbled up my steps. They were so eager to learn and so apt to make mistakes. The first year they were a part of the sweeping crowd that went down to Lincoln for the big basketball game. And although we almost won, these freshmen found the true meaning of spirit." Central's eyes twinkled with delight as she continued to recall the memories of the past.

I vividly recall one of them- who ate applesauce on bread for 9- minutes while she participated in a scene of the fall play.

"I will long remember these and many more accomplishments of this year's senior class. And as graduation time draws n,igh, I feel both pride and sorrow. As these seniors stand on my steps for the last time-and bid their farewell to me, I will hope that t have given them the ability and ~ourage to reach for new horizons.

It was, as years past, a year of individual success stories. But success stories could not be written without teamwork, or without each one giving his athletic abil- the publinks. Jim Fletcher, with that magic bat; Howard Fouts, the Keystone quarterback with the chronic shoulder; Duane Mannon, the field gerieral who called the signals; Fred Wilson, the fast-handed shortstop; Steve ity, without thought for personal gain, to the team. From the beginning of these four years, it was Coach George Andrews who told his freshman teams, "Boys, you'll need guts, hustle and desire to be an athlete." It is those three words to Guss, even a bloody leg wouldn't stop him; Dennis Rose, the bespectacled sprinter. be remembered that I leave to the underclassplen. In looking back it was a year that will remember Gale Sayers, the most feared halfback in Nebraska and who used Mercury's flying sandals in track; Vernon Breakfield, always reliable for that extra yardage; Charles Gunn, a flyweight with a heavyweight punch; Steve Cenk, his first year in football and playing like a vllteran. Don Fiedler, the tackle who opens holes like a tank; Jim Capellupo, the "pitcher" of the gridiron; Tim Nel- Chuck Ginsberg, the doctor of the gridders; John Francis, wrestling's r ight-hand man; George Trotter, custodian of football; Jon Frieden, the chalkman.

GENE McDANIELS GREAT NEW TALENT 'GREAT NEW ALBUM The sporting events of 1960-tH will long be remembered in succeeding years-memories to be recalled and reviewed-with thoughts of victories and defeats; yet, they are now memories in the record books. I now turn over the typewriters ' to Ron Macloskey and Al Ross, the bosses of "Page 3" next year, in hopes that I have elevated the sporting scene at Central. May their Eagle's Clause be continuously writing of success, victory, sportsmanship and fair play.

The two mile relay team of Steve Guss, Ray Hultman, Joe Johnson and Melvin Wade ran their best time of the year. A clocking ' of 8:24.6 was good enough for a third place finish in the state. The flying spikes of Sayers, Rose, Breakfield and Williams carried the Eagles to a second place finish in the 880 yard relays.
