Class of 1957

 
  

     A long distance telephone call in December from Lincoln High in Manitowoc. Wisconsin, set off a chain of events that was not to end until March 22.  The call extended to Central High the invitation to participate in an exchange program, the first for Central.  Fifteen juniors and fifteen seniors were selected to take the active parts in the program.

     Central's representatives spent two weeks, February 1-16, in Manitowoc.  They took most of the same courses as they did at home and they lived in the homes of the students who were to visit Central.  During March 10-22 the plan was reversed under the same conditions, when thirty students and two sponsors arrived in Central for two weeks.

     Requirements for eligibility included being able to finance the trip, having an acceptable grade average in order to be able to take the two weeks out of classes, having facilities and being willing to entertain a guest in the homes for two weeks, having an acceptable citizenship record, and presenting a signed statement from their parents giving permission to go.

     Mrs. Elizabeth Huckaby and Mr. J. O. Powell, assistant principals, accompanied the students to Manitowoc as chaperones.
