Take A New
Look ...

At What Central Has To Offer!

As every night fades away and the sun
rises, anew day begins

Although the light may seem like
that of any other, each day
is filled with a new world

of opportunities. A new day has

begun at Central
With the new day we have
the opportunity to start anew, along
with other infinite opportunities

The horsesh6e parking lot, previous
students, the long y-hall,
and the covered
walkways are all memories
of Lanier A.
Those memories will merge
with new memories and later join
future memories.

Each day at
Central High School,
we are presented with the opportunity
to make new memories
and to live life to its fullest
The days of crossing the street in the cold and
rain and staring out of the large windows
at Lanier A may be gone,
but
they will never be forgotten.

So each morning as the
SUN RISES
over Central, the students enter our school
with the future
bright before them!

School spirit surged at The Place
this year. Through the 1997-98
Half-Naked Cheerleaders, a tradi-
tion of spirit reached new heights.
This group was led by Lawrence
Bond, Josh Hopkins, Joe Brown,
Spencer Calhoun, Thomas Wilcox,
Davy Gibbs, and Chris English.
With the smaller campus and stu-
dent body, a sense of true family
settled over CHS. More students
than ever before joined clubs, at-
tended sports events, bought spirit
links, washed cars in fundraisers,
made posters, and smiled and
spoke as they passed in the halls.
Under Mr. Smiths leadership, ad-

=

ministrators met regularly with in-
dividual classes, student leaders,
parents, teachers, and staff to get
ideas and opinions to fashion a
Central that was responsive to the
needs of all its members. Teachers
and students pitched in to make
clubs vital and functioning; the
PTSA offered important assistance.
The athletic teams practiced hard
and, led by overwhelming support
from the Central family, compiled
outstanding records. CHS truly be-
came The Place the place for
friendship, learning, achieving, be-

A Final Look ...

It was indeed an honor and
an esteemed privilege to be
your senior class president
this year. Being president has
brought overwhelming re-
sponsibility and enjoyment
into my life. I have you, the
most wonderful people I've
ever known, the Central Se-
nior class of 1998, to thank for

Special Programs

Fine Arts And Freshman Academies

Many renovations came to Central as seen in Mr. Smith's office and the entire office area.
However, several programs were introduced into the Central High School curriculum this
year, also. The Fine Arts Academy and the Freshman Academy are two of the most beneficial
programs to be brought to C entral.

The Fine Arts Academy was brought on by the designation of Central High School as a Fine
Arts and International Baccalaureate Magnet school. With the Fine Arts Academy, students are
required to have four years credit in any Fine Arts category: art, chorus, drama, band. With
four years of credit in one or more of these categories, a student can graduate with a Fine Arts
diploma.

The Freshman Academy is a freshman awareness course for the first-time freshmen. Dr. Sim-
mons got the idea of the Freshman Academy from Troup Comprehensive High School. The
Academy consists of learning teams made up of several teachers and students. The Fresh-
men benefit from this program because they experience a feeling of self-confidence in their
classes of their peers. Without the pressure of having to act like their older peers, the fresh-
men can relax and enjoy learning at Central. The first week of school this year, the freshmen
were taught and tested on the discipline code (including dress code, suspensions, conse-
quences for breaking the rules) and the students were not allowed to continue on as freshmen
in their courses until they passed this exam. They were also taught the Cornell system of note-
taking, a benefit many of the upper-classmen missed out on. Instead of zeroes, the freshmen
got tutoring and help to pass their classes and actually learned the subject matter.

These programs have not only improved the e ducation at Central High School, but have also
improved the atmosphere of classes and the entire student body and faculty.

Smart Art. Wesley Abney, an honor
student, enjoys his Fine Arts sched-
ule, which includes three classes
with his favorite Art teacher, Mr.
Ruff. Wesley enjoys exploring his ar-
tistic creativity and is given that
chance through the Fine Arts pro-
gram.

Raise your voices. Chris Allen, James
Turner, Bert Hopkins, and Blake Le-
slie share in a love for music and
singing. Through the Fine Arts pro-
gram these young men enjoy classes
that are enjoyable, educational, and
let them raise their voices

A FINAL PLAY ...

Coach Tom Simonton has been a head
coach of football for thirty two years, nineteen
at Central. He also has coached tennis and
baseball. Coach enjoys teaching history to the
students and working side by side with his
fellow teachers. Coach Holleman said, He is
a man who allows you to grow as your own
coach and person.

When asked what the shining moment of
his career was, Mr. Simonton said that every
year that he has taught and coached was ex-
traordinary; he has always had very special
students and winning teams! He did not
grow up with dreams of being a coach, but in-
stead, of being a professional baseball player.
When that chance passed him by because of
school, he took up coaching instead and has
been at it ever since.

Coach Simonton has influenced many peo-
ples lives. Mr. Smith said, Coach is an easy
going gentleman that I have to thank for
where I am today. Now that he will have
lots of extra time on his hands, Coach plans to
travel and just take it easy.

Everyone at Central would like to congratu-
late and thank Coach Simonton for many
years of dedication and wish him all the luck
in the world! He is a great coach and we will
especially miss him being the BIG quarter-
back! says Tony Gilbert, a varsity football
player.

Coach Simonton gave these words of fare-
well: Central is a school of great tradition,
great faculty, staff, and students. It is very
hard to say goodbye, but beating Warner
Robins is definitely a good way to go out!

Junior Varsity Football

The 1997 Junior Varsity Football team
had a rough year. The team was divided
because of Westside High School opening.
The team consisted of many new players
including freshmen and sophomores.
These dedicated players started training in
the summer and several players even went
to the varsity football camp; because they
attended the camp they got to travel with
the varsity team during the regular season.

The Junior Varsity team learned many
important lessons this season that will
prove valuable in the future. They gained
experience and strength this year. Despite
the many hardships the JV Chargers faced
this year, they remain hopeful for a better
season next year.

We Put The Lead In It!!

The 1997-98 Varsity Cheer-

girls (11 seniors and 3 juniors)
with only 6 returning from
the previous year. The season
began with early morning
practices for camp at Georgia
Southern, where they learned
even more material for games
and performances. They also
learned to work together as a
team and became as close as
sisters. By the end of the
week all the hard work and
dedication paid off when
they came home with ribbons
and spirit awards.

Not only were the cheer-
leaders involved in school ac-
tivities but they also were in-
volved in community service

projects, such as Bibb Safe
Kids and Operation Drug-
Free Georgia with Senator
Paul Coverdell. Mrs. Reid
commented: These young
ladies have been energetic,
spirited, and good ambassa-
dors for Central High
School.

Our Junior Varsity squad
was made up of 9 sopho-
mores and 6 freshmen. This
year they took a different
turn and had NCA instruc-
tors come to them to teach
them brand-new chants and
cheers. Mrs. Peterson, their
coach, said, The girls are

This year Centrals Cross
Country/Track and Field
teams did a wonderful job.
We are very proud of them!
Many of the people who
were on this years team
went out for basketball, and
they say that it prepared
them for track and field
mentally and physically. One
of the highlights for the girls
team was winning first place
at a Peach County meet. Way

Many members have fond
memories of going out to eat
after a hard meet and
relaxing. Something that both
teams had to say was that
they were a united team,
cheering on each other
during a meet and settling for
nothing less than the best.

question is, did it work?

No Stopping Now. Brandon Single-

team, looks a little tired, but hes not
going to give up. He led the team,
setting a fast pace all season.

OH!! The pain! Warming up before a
meet is very important, but can also
be very painful. Roderick Daniels

discomfort.

We Lead In Excellence!

JROTC is a proud tradition and an in-
tegral part of Central High School. The
curriculum is different and challenging.
It requires discipline and motivation to
earn the right to wear the JROTC uni-
form.

The program stresses leadership and
demands the Take Change attitude.
Extra-curricular activities include the
drill team, rifle team and the color
guard. Unlocking your potential to be-
coming an asset to your community and
your country is our primary goal. A
higher level of standards is what we are
all about in JROTC.

If you want to be challenged and mo-
tivated TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE,
then the place to be is Central High
School JROTC.

The 1998 Central High
School Pegasus is bigger and
better than ever. Many do not
realize how much money it
takes to produce a yearbook.
Without tireless help and fi-
nancial aid from many par-
ents, businesses, and commu-
nity leaders, this yearbook
would never be possible.

Sincere thanks go to all our
sponsors and advertisers. The
Pegasus staff and entire CHS
student body salute you and
thank you for your support of
our endeavors. Here, Annie
Jackson, and employee of
Chi-Chesters, patiently works
with a display of flowers.
Those flowers are looking
good!

Friends are hard
to find and when you've
truly found one, it is
the greatest feeling of
all. I'm very grateful to
God for sending me such
a wonderful friend. We have
shared very
special memories together
through the years. Thank you
for letting me cry on your
shoulder when | was lonely
and scared. You are
truly my best friend
forever and always!

I'll love you Always!

Leigh-Anne -

| don't think that any
words can actually express
how much you mean to
me. | guess the only way
to say it is "You mean the
world to me". We've been
through a whole lot of
ups and downs throughout
our six years of friendship
You've always stuck by me,
though, when I've needed you

Dearest Jessica,

As you continue your journey, we offer you these
Lessons of Life.

Listen for the sound of the genuine within yourself and
others

Set goals and work quietly and systematically toward them
Assign yourself

Never give up

Dont be afraid of hard work, taking risks or being
criticized

lake family life seriously

Be honest.

Sell the show for the substance

Slow down and live

Remember, and help others remember, that the fellowship
of human beings is more important than the fellowship of
race, class and gender

Be confident that you can make a difference

Never work for money or power. They will not save your
soul, build a decent family, or help you sleep at night
Dont ever stop learning and improving your mind

Choose your friends carefully
Be a can-do, will-try person

Live in the present

you stand

Be reliable and faithful.

FINAL
LOOK!

Central has been The Place all year and now we say our
goodbyes. We have had many memorable experiences, both
academic and social: beating Warner Robins for the first time
in nineteen years, a smaller student body than ever, and closer
class ties. Whether it was the first, last, or somewhere-in-be-
tween year at Central, 1997-98 will always be filled with fond
memories. As students, faculty, and staff part some tempo-
rarily, some permanently, we will always remain united in our
hearts!
