Opening

a s students, we are constantly prepping for the next big event in our lives. Whether it be a "Sweet Sixteen", crosstown football game, piano concert, or out of town trip, we spend months planning for events that last only a moment. Though these activities may seem insignificant to the outside world, they mean everything to us. Without the constant flow of extra curricular activities, high school would simply be four years of studying and homework. Spirit Week can go by without students participating or it can be made into the most memorable week ever. We can either paint our entire bodies for a football game or not even go at all. Opportunities given to us allow us to make our high school years the most they can be. It is how we rise to the occasion that makes our social life worthwhile. Don't let high school fly by you, but reach for opportunites and grab them.

I Post Prom goers appreciated the large gym at CRCE wh1ch provided space for people to dance, walk With frends, or JUSt lounge around and share goss1p from the dance a few hours before. "I thought the gym was very open and there were a lot of things to do, and I had a great t1me," says Elizabeth Fernandes. 1 Students such as Kenneth Price were able to look forward to many raffle pnzes provided by the PTSA. Every student had an opportun1ty to wtn one of the fabulous prizes because tickets were collected at the door and used in the draw1ng. J A group watches n awe as Enc Packard and Bnan Mendes get senous in a rous1ng round of DanceDance Revolut1on. Packard and Mendes impressed everyone w1th their amaz1ng moves on the h1ghest level of the game. 4 Sebastian Stoltzfus tnes desperately to put h1s marker 1n the wmn1ng spot as Nâ€˘cholas Corso 1s pulled back by h1s bungee cord, ultimately caustng h1s loss to h1s opponent. Th1s game was a favonte of people who attended Post Prom, and many stated that 1t was fun to watch people scramble to finish as the force of the bungee cord worked against them!

Many Post Prom goers, such as Solecka, enJoyed the large 1nf1atab1e games. 6 Jared Parker Boyes and Robert KouzmanoH start a game of racquetball on one of the two courts. Post Prom was held at Campus Recreational Center East (CRCE), so students were able to enJOY the athletiC act1v1t1es of basketball, racqetball, and sw1mm1ng among fest1v1ties of the evenmg. 7 DurÂˇng a heated game of water basketball, Martin Crames shoots a basket wh11e TJier Walters and Brent Corum watch 1n awe. After a hot n1ght of dancing, people took advantage of the cool aquatiC center. 8 A h1ghlight of Post Prom was the photography stat1on. Students could have their p1ctures taken w1th props that went w1th the Wild West theme, and volunteers from the PTSA took the p1ctures. 9 One of the most popular attractions at Post Prom was the mechan1cal bull, which attracted a line that grew as the n1ght went on. Not want1ng to be embarassed 1n front of his date, as well as the rest of the party-goers aw31tmg the1r turn, Dayjd Mathisen holds on t1ght as h1s nde beg1ns.

Student Life Montage

S enior year is thought of as one of the most exciting times in a teenager's life. After junior year, we, the class of 2007, were at the top of the school. Even though we are the highest rung of the ladder at Centennial, we still have many more steps to climb. This brings mixed feelings of excitement, sadness, and fear from knowing every event is our last: our last day of sports practice, our last Friday night football game, our last Homecoming float building and riding on the float in the parade, our last winter dance, and our last year with our friends. While we are forced to balance our time between college applications, final ACT tests, difficult classes, job searching, and trying to have fun; every memory made will stay with us for the rest of our lives. The fundamentals we have learned in the four years at Centennial will help give us life-long friendships, work ethnics, and preparation for the rest of our climb through life.

h igh School is in constant motion. As one class leaves, another class enters, generating a continual cycle of movement as people change and grow. However, one thing stays the same: the sequence of stepping stones by which one gets to the top. We begin as shy and awkward freshmen, giddy at the thought of being in high school. Sophomore year is a time of change when we grow to know ourselves more and realize who our true friends are. By the time junior year rolls around we have become comfortable with our surroundings and the initial thrill of high school is subdued. We know junior year brings much more work to persevere through but we also know the rewards will be great if we make it through. Over the years we change and grow into the people we will become in the future. Though we may not realize it now, these are the most important times of our lives. They determine the college we will go to and the people we grow to love. We are the stepping stones of high school, the underclassmen, and these are our stories.

Throughout the halls of Centenmal High School, students express the1r personalities through the way they dress. Popular styles of the JUnior class range from punk to prep to urban to sporty. As students of Centenmal, 1t 1s up to us to decide our personal style. As Juniors of Centennial, we are contantly risIng to the occasion to be as fash1onable as poss1ble.

r aising our potential. They daily push us to the limit because they know we can do better. Lifting our spirits. A congratulations here or a high five there, all in the name of perseverance so we never give up. Boosting our confidence. They know it is a challenge but they know we can do it. We can get that "A". All we have to do is believe in ourselves. Upping the stakes. It's not all about here and now, but about our future and our dreams. Enhancing the wonder. Oh, the knowledge they give us is great, but it is up to us to do something with it. Stacking the odds. They work, in our favor, longer days and extra hard so that we might succeed in all that we attempt. Improving our chances. They give us the strength and the courage we need to take on the world and whatever befalls us. The teachers at Centennial daily work hard, all for us, whether it is to push us to study for an hour or get a hard earned "A". They are lifting our learning, but it is entirely up to us what we choose to do with the knowledge they bestow upon us.

h igh school is about choices and activities that build a person's character. How a person acts and what a person chooses to do shape the mold they will fall into as they grow. The way we act in our classes will determine our grades. Our grades will determine our colleges. Finally, our college careers will determine our jobs and and our lives. The clubs and the activities we participate in build character. Through different classes, clubs, and organizations we can become involved with various activities. These activites give us the opportunity and the potential to develop soc1al skills, friendships, and good character. Through the different organizations we can meet and Interact with new people who we otherwise may disregard. Freshmen and sophomores can form special bonds with upperclassmen. Classes and clubs open the door to possibilities that give us the key to an involved and successful h1gh school career and future. Life is a ladder; the climbing starts now.

Lively, local, and hard news, that's what the newspaper does. Their h1ghly qualified staff, equ1pped with state-of-the art technology has been bringmg Centennial the truth all year. While students casually spend the1r t1me on tedious tasks in the classroom, these reporters are on the front-lines of late breaking news. Interviewing, researching, and of course, writmg. are the tools by which they vent the1r passion. Both writers and editors enjoy complete freedom in ptcktng toptcs to explore. Whether 1t be the Mtddle-East, fash1on or even commenting on the most recent failure in sports, the newspaper re-

ports 1t. On the first day of every month the staff gets together to generate main 1deas for each 1ndiv1dual sect1on of the paper. These seven sections include sports, news, op1n1ons, features, spread, entertainment, and finally, the student page. Korynthia Peal, ptctured nght, expresses a common emot1on felt by most writers of newspaper when fresh ideas and hip topics are heard, utter bewilderment. These writers gain valuable skills for college and beyond while wnting about toptcs and 1deas they believe 1n. After all IS sa1d and done, when the articles are wntten and edited to perfection, the

real work begtns. While the papers are still hot from the presses, the staff bundles and shtps each package personally to classes schoolwtde. That's not all though, sweeptng changes are betng arranged for next year. The newspaper staff intends to have a candy drawer and welcome the return of a ptzza party after each publication. So 1f you ever have the need for news with truth, opinton, and a little b1t of flavor, look no further than the Cent1nal.

students need to practice so the whole group can come together and sound good. There are three Jazz groups in Centennial: Jazz Lab Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Jazz Combo. In order to part1c1pate in any of these a student must audit1on for a seat. The Lab Band IS mostly comprised of younger students, such as freshmen and sophomores. The Ensemble is the "top" band, made up of older students who wish to ded1cate more t1me to Jazz and have been play1ng longer. Both groups show excellent musicianship and ded1cat1on by getting to school by 7:00 AM for an hour long rehearsal. The Jazz Combo IS made up of students w1th the highest improvi-

sation scores from their audition. There is only one orchestra group, which is taught by Dr. Rodney Mueller during first hour. Orchestra rehearsals begin with warm-up exerc1ses to prepare the1r arms and fingers for the long mus1c-making ahead. Every student practices diligence and concentration while play1ng. The orchestra's hard work paid off, because th1s year in January the Orchestra Winds, a group Including the Orchestra and Concert Band Instruments were 1nv1ted to play at the All-State Mus1c Fest1val. Jazz Band and Orchestra take special talent and extra dedication but 1n the end, they are both very impress1ve groups.

test, tw1ce a year. In band, students have to earn a grade. It IS not just a slack off class, but hard work. Grades are earned through assessments, bnnging Instruments to class, and being prepared to work. During the class, there are often several other people who come in and work with the students because of the large class size. This gtves more individual attention to each student to better thetr playing ability. Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Symphonic Winds give concerts three times a year, a wtnter concert, a spring concert, and a sen tor concert, where each band plays three to five songs. Within these songs, there are usually one to two solos per song. Pep Band is made

This year's fall play was all about vanat1on on the old. Unl1ke past years, "Laugh, L1ve, Love" was the first three one acts to be presented as the fall play at Centenn1al High School. It was also only the second t1me in the h1story of Centennial Playmakers that both lighting (Dylan Jarling) and set design (David Robertson) had been a complete student undertaking. With the guidance of Suzanne Aldndge, head of the drama department, th1s year's fall play delivered a light-hearted yet inspiring answer to findmg happiness in life.

From npp1ng the answer sheet, to m1ss1ng the teaching of the ent1re Ch1nese language, everything that Alan thinks could go wrong seems to be coming true. Yet, through all the tribulations, laughter rema1ns the best answer to th1s b1zarre s1tuat1on.

LIVE The Valiant is clearly the drama of the acts. James Dyke, played by James Lucente, is a prisoner JUSt about to be put to death when an unexpected visitor appears. The girl, portrayed by Alexandra Webber, is in search of her brother, who d1sappeared

ten years ago. The Valiant 's Simplistic dialogue and setting place emphasis on life's hard lessons. The warden, portrayed by Greg Scwheizer, puts aside his JUdgement and stringent ways to allow Dyke and the girl to have a pnvate conversation. His actions demonstrate generosity m a time of need. And Dyke's decision to hide h1s secret about being the girl's real brother displays the withholding of truth in hopes of creatmg a better outcome.

LOVE A more fantastical approach is taken to Shakespeare's class1c with The Seussification of Romeo and juliet. The stories begin the same way w1th two

households at war with one another. When Romeo Monotone Hanna Solecka, p1ctured nght, falls m love w1th Juliet Captitulate, played by Steve Joebgen, his friends Benvolio and Mercut1o Mia Goodley and Aerris Newton, p1ctured left, try to conv1nce h1m otherwise. Yet, Romeo and Juliet's love IS strong. It IS so enduring that 1t even changes the traditional ending. Together, the two overcome all odds, including death. Like any standard Dr. Seuss story, The Seussificotion of Romeo and Juliet ends with a happy everafter in perfect rhyme.

they're goin' the dista ce Large numbers are not always necessary for success. For the past few years, cross country has had to deal With a decline in members, mak1ng it a challenge at times to fill the varsity roster. However, the group of runners that has competed th1s year has been extremely dedicated and hard work1ng. Because many of the runners have joined the team w1th little or no experience (five of the s1x seniors joined after the1r freshman year), the success they have had has been a result of an eagerness to learn and improve. This determination was ev1dent 1n new runners Suoyang Hou and Alexandra Maurer. Both made an Immediate 1mpact on varsity, consistently running in the top five spots.

se There was certainly no lack of capable and talented players on the tennis team, which benefitted from 1ts depth throughout the season. With the number of players capable of compet1ng in the number one smgles spot, coach Enc Schact had a tough decision to make each week. The competitiveness of these top players contributed to a season opening of three dual victones 1n a row, including two shut-outs. Desp1te having only three seniors on the roster, the young team was still able to pull off a season record of 4-4. The team was fortunate to have a number of strong singles and doubles players. This was evidenced at inv1tat1onals such as the Bloomington lnv1te, where singles players Shelby Mammano and Sonya Le placed 5th and 6th, respectively, while Mary Kate Krouse (nght) and Megan Suchoff took 6th place in doubles. At the Big 12 Conference, the Chargers placed 5th overall. In doubles, Suchoff and Krouse finished 1n 3rd place, while first year player Taylor Villareal teamed up with Bnttany Avallone to come 1n 6th.

Many ind1v1dual players also placed 1n singles. Among them were Mammano in 3rd, lsabela lantorno 1n 4th, and Hilary Pope 1n 5th. The doubles team of lantorno and Pope advanced to State after becoming Sectional champions. At State they achieved a record of 1-2. Other team members accompanied the pair to State to offer their support and encouragement. First year player Hannah Walker offered her thoughts on the season and its outcome.

Q: What was your experience like with the tennis team? A: I had a blast with the other players and learned a lot about teamwork and sp1nt. You always have to look on the bnght side. We d1d that th1s year, and as a result, the team did pretty well.

Q: How long have you been playing tennis? A: I've only been playmg for one year, and I thmk 1t's been an awesome experience!

kicking it into high gear Throughout the whole season, the men's soccer team never paused 1n its ascent to the top. The vars1ty team, with a wide vanety of ages, developed a true team sp1nt through their shared hard work and determination. The season started early for the Chargers, with tryouts beginning at SIX 1n the morn~ng. The week was incredibly difficult because it cons1sted of runn1ng bas1cally the whole t1me. During th1s challenging penod of the season, the boys developed a strong bond that lasted not JUSt to the end of the season, but beyond. With the help of numerous goals scored by Corey Kal embach, pictured nght, the team started the year off w1th three stra1ght victones. Kallembach was later named the All-Area Soccer Player of the Year by the News Gazette for h1s efforts. The team ended the season w1th an astonishing fifteen game shut out. MakIng 1t all the way to Sect1onal Semifinials was one of the major goals the team had before the season started.

One of the most exCiting games th1s season was the Reg1onal finals game aga1nst Central. Although the two nvals had tied earlier in the season, the Chargers came out on top 1n Reg1onals w1th a score of 1-0. Centennial then went on to play Normal Community in Sectionals. Desp1te end1ng the season with a loss, the Chargers battled through the game, g1ving it the1r all. The junior vars1ty team also had an Impressive season. Although they were often underappne~ated, they had an unbelieveable season, los1ng only one game. Even then, it was a hard fought contest aga1nst Normal U-High in which they were beaten by one goal. The game verses Central had to be one of the most thrilling games of the year. Not only were the Chargers able to Win the game, but ended w1th a shutout of the Maroons.

marching to the beat Not many students see march1ng band as a sport. However, when taking into account the time and effort it requires, band members are as much athletes as football players. The march1ng band season starts w1th colorguard tryouts in the beginning of May and lasts until late October, making 1t one of the longest sports seasons. The preparations for the field show really begin in January or February when band members first preview mus1c for the show. They even begin rehearsing some of the songs in May. However, th1s is JUSt to get a taste of what's coming m the fall. Formal rehearsal for the show begins the first week in August at band camp. The band has only one week to learn the1r new field show. Each day of camp cons1sts of four hours of mus1c, mclud1ng sect1onals, and four hours of marching. Band director David Madden says that the hardest part about putting a show together 1s mtegrating the moves and music together. The band has their first performance dunng the first home football game of the school year. I Drum maJor Jennifer Prillaman leads the band around a corner dunng a parade.

Even though most of the hard work is done at camp, the marching band still has to work on the fine po1nts of the1r show all year. The theme for this year's field show IS "Salute to Gershwin". The theme stays the same throughout the marching band season. Some of the songs performed mcluded "Stnke up the Band," "Second Prelude," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Swanee," and "Rhapsody m Blue." March1ng band takes the members all over Illinois to different competitions. This year they traveled to Danville, AtwoodHammond, and Oblong. The band's favonte, however, 1s the U of I competition held 1n Champaign. A lot goes on at the show the moment the band steps off the bus. They group 1nto sections, rehearse as one large group, perform, and watch the other bands. "We enjoy watching and learning from the other bands, our compet1t1on," says Madden. "I think it improves our performance for the next t1me."

setting up for the future "Successful, crazy, and full of excitement," are words that Sara Spencer used to describe her season on junior varsity. Excitmg 1s no doubt one of many adjectives that could be used to describe the JV volleyball team throughout the year. Even though the team lost many of the1r players to the Varsity team, they were still able to be succesful. Both the junior varsity and freshman teams ended thew seasons with above average records. The final results of both the teams certamly shows the hardwork that was given dunng practice like Allyson Reis and Mechell Frazier, p1ctured nght, and games throughout the year. Coach Jonathan Taylor led h1s team to many important victones over the course of the season, including a first place fimsh at an invitational hosted by crosstown rival Champaign Central. The freshmen team also had a similarly successful season under the guid ance of

coach Tara Harris. When interVIewed about the1r season, Alyssa Burner and Rebecca M1hm prov1ded some great msight.

Q: How would you describe your season? A: It was a very hard beglnnmg of the season because we thought that we would have some good players, like a Con Hams, that ended up playing on the JV team. However, we stuck together and pulled through in some great games. We created some unforgettable memones.

Q: What do is the most position on A: It all starts

you think important the court?

with the dig, which comes from the back row players. They don't get as much credit as other players, but they start everything. The setter is also very important, as a good set is essential to sconng points.

For many athletic teams, the season begms when pract1ce and try-outs start. For Centennial, volleyball try-outs were held during the first week m August, but team activities began in the summer nght after school ended. The team played in two summer leagues, attended open gyms two or three t1mes a week, and had two car washes as fundraisers. Try-outs were then held, followed by a week of three-a-day pract1ces. As a reward for their hardwork, Coach Stanley Bergman gave the team a weekend at a lake house on Lake Egypt. Th1s weekend trip is a yearly tradition and is one of the most memorable t1mes of the season for many players. However, the relaxing weekend was only temporary for the team. As soon as the team returned, everyone went back to work. The Chargers started the season on a high note, winn1ng seven of their first ten games. The team had plenty of successes throughout the rest of season, including shutting out Central in all of the matches dunng the year. The Chargers beat the Maroons at Reg1onals to advance to Sect-

ionals where they faced Normal Community. Although the Chargers lost, the team played exceedmgly well. One of the four sen1ors, Ellyn Ka1ser, said "We were not able to pull out a win, but we definitely played our strongest during that match. The fans were great that night." Ka1ser was a strong force on the Charger's defense, earn1ng the Defens1ve Player of the Year Award. Melissa Slough, pictured nght, was the leading player on the team for kills.

doing whatever it takes The jun1or vars1ty and freshman teams always have to deal with the loss of their top players to the upper level teams. The true test of each mdividual team is how they cope with the loss of their most talented players to other teams. However, as with most Centennial teams, both the freshman and junior varsity teams responded admirably. The freshman year of football 1s always the most difficult because many of the players have never played before. The task of impartmg the knowledge necessary to w1n can prove difficult for the coaching staff. Finishmg the year with a record of 18, the freshman struggled but also improved over the course of the season during practice. The progress shown late in the season bodes well for the future of the program. Thejun1orvars1tyteam IS always a very emotional time for players because it is the last t1me that an individual can truly

play solely for the fun of the game. The pressure, though still there, 1s miniscule m comparison to that of a varsity football team. Man of the junior vars1ty players took th1s opportunity and embraced 1t, having fun while winning some games. The team compiled a 4-5 record, a vast Improvement over their freshman year. They were able to compete in the games and were headed by a strong core of talented receivers and running backs. Speedy players such as Meiko Locluley, p1ctured nght, Jonathan Dav1dson, and Avery Ama worked with hard-nosed players like Jacob Manning and Jeffrey Wiener to get the opt1mum results. It 1s d1fficult to tell how the results ofthe early years will transfer mto vars1ty success. If this year's under class teams were any md1cat1on, great results are 1n the near future.

one of the best With a record of 8-4, the Chargers became the th1rd team in school history to make 1t to the quarterfinals. Along with the1r playoff appearance, they were also the Tw1n City Champ1ons. Led by a stellar defense and a killer running game, th1s dynamic team swept through their opponents. The offensive line opened up massive holes for tailback M1kel Leshoure who ran for 2,460 total yards, and scored 31 touchdowns. The team racked up 3,649 total yards of offense. Along with a great offense, the team had a bone crushing defense which held five teams to seven or fewer points. Wade Pettyjohn, pictured nght, mak~ng a tackle against Decatur Elsenhower worked his way to starting fullback with 40 yards rushing. The Chargers kept an aggressive work eth1c the whole season. By the end of October, the1r hard work pa1d off. They helped the football program ga1n respect from all over the state. With this season over, this year's team will now be known as the '06 Crew, a team that will surely be remembered for years to come. I The Charger defense dom1nated the compet1t1on all season.

dance the nig t away There IS no shortage of posit1ve things to be said about Centennial's hardworking dance team. Even though there were only ten members this year, the ent1re team put forth so much spint and effort, the team's small size was hardly noticeable. New coach Lindsay Roberts, who was a member of the dance team herself several years ago, helped add to the enthus1asm of the group. "I love being back," she says. The dance team makeup was determmed after tryouts in May. They then practiced for the UDA (Umversal Dance AssoCiation) Dance Camp in late June. The camp, held at Illinois State Un1vers1ty, involved many long hours of hard work to learn new dances and practice old ones. All of the team's work paid off when Centennial placed 4th in the camp's Small Team Varsity (less than 15 members) category. The team got about a month-long break until they began preparing for football season. They performed at every home game during halftime and at the pep rally during Homecoming week to show their support for the football team.

After football season came basketball season, when the team also performed during halftime at games. The dance team tried to Incorporate a variety of styles into each different rout1ne, Including jazz, h1p-hop, pam, and lyncal. The team was a favorite of the crowd, and every performance was followed by thunderous applause from the crowd. Throughout the season, the dances were choreographed by different members of the team. "It always requires so many hours of practice, but we're pleased with the results every t1me," says Erin Holm. In February and March, the team part1c1pated 1n sectional and regional competitions in hopes of reaching the state compet1t1on, which was held at the Assembly Hall this year. "We're always hoping to have our best performance ready for the big competitions," commented Mor Caspi, pictured left.

the end of a legacy A rare feat IS accomplished when a coach has had continuous success over a number of years at the same school. Many coaches will take jobs at schools w1th more prestige and better pay, but some will remam with the~r teams until the end of their career. This IS the case for Tim Fairchild, who has coached the Champaign Centennial Vars1ty Women's Basketball team to routine success over h1s prol1fic tenure at Centennial. During h1s thirty year stay at Centenn1al, he coached vars1ty for 29 seasons. His overall career record was 534-263. His 2006-2007 vars1ty team, however, was an anomaly because they did not have the same success that had come to be expected of the varsity team. Sen1or and three-year varsity point guard Ellyn Ka1ser had some 1nsight on the retirement of Fairchild as well as a look into the season.

Q: When you look back on the season, what is your biggest regret? A: I JUSt w1sh that we could have had a better last season for Coach.

hearts of champions One of the most important objectives of basketball is teamwork. Before you can have teamwork, you must have your full team together. This was a problem for men's vars1ty basketball head coach Tim Lavm at the start of the season. Due to football playoffs, several of the varsity players had to miss the first few weeks of practice until playoffs were over. It took a few games to get the whole team on the same page, but once they did, the Chargers were on the1r way to a memorable season. As the season quickly progressed, the Chargers continually got better as a team. At the Shootout at the Hall, a tournament hosted at the U of I Assembly Hall, the Chargers faced Peoria Richwoods, a state ranked team. The Chargers hung close w1th Peona, bnnging the game into overtime. Christopher Britt, nght, had an outstanding game, scoring nine po1nts and grabbing nine rebounds. Centennial ultimately prevailed, winn1ng by three pomts. Th1s proved to be one of the most competitive games in the tournament, as well as one of the Chargers' best wms, g1ving them momentum and confidence. I Sophomore guard James Kinney throws 1t down over h1s defender from Danv1lle. Kinney was an offens1ve power and led the team with 46 three pointers. l. Mikel Leshoure dnves to the basket aga1nst a defender from Peon a R1chwoods. Leshoure was a powerhouse 1n the post, focus1ng on h1s strength to dnve past defenders. J Go1ng up to the basket strong, Michael Locksley scores two po1nts against Mattoon. Locksley made 42% of h1s shots and had 35 steals for the season.

The Chargers used this momentum to keep playmg with hustle and aggressiveness. Dunng the1r second meet1ng w1th crosstown rival, Central, the Chargers continued to play their best basketball. The game advanced into overtime, but Central won by two po1nts. The Chargers didn't let the loss deter them, us1ng the game as motivation instead. They contmued to work hard and won the next four out of six games. When Centenn1al faced Central again, the tables were turned in the Chargers' favor. The scenario was very similar to the last meetmg of the two teams, w1th the game bemg decided 1n overt1me. James Kinney Jr. made a lay-up w1th less than ten seconds left, leaving Central without an answer. Th1s wm boosted the team's morale, wh1ch then carried the team 1nto Reg1onals. There they faced Danville for a thrilling game that went mto double overt1me, 1n which the Chargers won by two 1n the final seconds. The Chargers then faced Central for the fourth time in the Regional championship game which reached double overtime before the Chargers were defeated.

4 James McCarey focuses on the basket while shootmg free throws at a home game. McCiarey, who 1s known for h1s threepoint range, was a true team player who always tried to find the open man under the basket. 5 Sen1or co-captain Anthony PetnazeDo pushes the ball up the court 1n a home game aga1nst Spnngfield Southeast. Petruzzello was a dnv1ng force under the basket and was extremely aggress1ve on defense. Petruzzello led the team in charges taken w1th 20 for the season.

letting it all hang out When someone plays a sport so difficult that the next morning it is hard to even move, the general public has to ask, "Is 1t all worth 1t?" To some, the sport of wrestling may seem utterly insane. The 1dea is to take your opponent down qu1ckly with sheer ability and pin them immediately, or to win by sconng pointsthroughoutthe match as they slowly and steadily tire out. The Centenmal wrestling program has been an unstoppable force for years, but after losing three sen1ors who combined for a 37 5-4 5 record during their career, the team needed a leader. This leadership from senior Samuel Ferguson and impressive contributions from Napolean Jones, Michael Brown, and Dav1d M1tev helped lead the team to a strong start, winning the1r first two meets by a combmed score of 152-6. The strong jumor and senior classes were complimented well by a talented sophomore class that held three wrestlers w1th at least 20 wms, mcluding Nicholas Congdon, p1ctured nght. Congdon fin1shed 3rd on the team in pins and went 24-9 overall. The team as a whole completed the season with a 10-1 0 record, Inâ€˘cholas Congdon takes full charge of h1s Central opponent. Congdon wrestled 1n the 125 we1ght class and helped lead the team to a second place fimsh at the Prane Central Hawk Classic. 1 Baring his teeth and exertmg every ounce of force that he has, Evan Ellswordl does h1s best to make h1s challenger concede defeat.

eluding a 4-4 in-conference record. During the B1g 12 Conference Tournament, the team fin1shed in 5th place while Ferguson won h1s we1ght class. Congdon, Ellsworth, Jones, Hai Bu1, Brown, and Cameron P1ckett all fin1shed the meet with Impressive top four fin1shes. Consistency plagued the team throughout the year. "The fact that it seemed like we never wrestled the same people in two stra1ght meets was frustrating," sa1d Brown. However, by the beginnmg of February the team had begun to come around. At the1r Reg1onal tournament, the team fimshed in 3rd place, while qualifying seven 1nd1v1duals for Sectionals. At the sectional meet, only Ferguson advanced to State. While he did not compete to his ability at State, he was st1ll the most consistent wrestler of the season, compiling a record of 34-4 while sconng 156 total pomts. He led the team in pms, technical falls, near falls, and takedowns. His contributions will be greatly missed, but tak1ng a hit and getting back up is what wrestlers do best.

4 Placing a competitor in a hold, David Mitev searches for a way to pin his competition. M1tev worked hard throughout the season, which paid off at the end of the year when he had comp1led an overall record of 17-7 1n the 152 we1ght class. 5 Sconng points for a takedown, Napolean Jones, takes an early advantage on h1s outmatched St Joseph-Ogden adversary. Jones wrestled at 119 over the course of the year and fin1shed w1th a record of 25-11. 6 Ant1cipatmg his opponent's next move and siz1ng h1m up, Mkhael Brown prepares to make his move. Much of wrestling is trying to find out what the other wrestler is go1ng to try and countering it with a strong move of your own. Brown was one of the most improved wrestlers of the year.

As many would say, practice makes perfect; th1s is truly the case 1n the sport of gymnastiCS. Not only does gymnastics take practice, but it also takes dedication, patience, strength, and pain. The girls on the small but m1ghty gymnastics team have three hour team pract1ces every day, as well as the1r own 1ndiv1dual pract1ces five days a week. Because Centenmal does not have a facility of their own, the team uses the local YMCA. Through their hard work, the Centenmal Gymnastic team shows true determination to make the1r way to the top. The Centenmal Gymnastics team IS composed of Kathryne ZuniCh, Emily Shernck, Norah Cet1n, Carsen Welch, and Emily Weber. All of these g1rls began the sport through the local YMCA program and have been gymnasts for many years. This year was the third year Centennial had enough competitors to be recogn1zed as a team. The team consisted of returning veterans Kathryne Zun1ch, Em1ly Sherrick, and Norah Cetin, with newcomers Carsen Welch and Emily Weber, pictured right.

Closing 207

Editors, Note Yet another school year IS finally wrapp1ng up, and although 1t may have seemed like a short one, the time and work spent on th1s yearbook was the core of our ex1stence. So much of this book is a reflection of the people who put it together, as we've been working on 1t smce May of 2006. After gathering a staff of twenty-three members, fifteen being new to the class, we were all ready, will1ng, and able to make the greatest book we could. The bulk of the work began at the M1dwest Yearbook Expenence camp held at lll1nois Weslyan University m July. At this camp we came up w1th everything from the s1lver cover, which by the way has NEVER been done before, to the layouts of the pages to the theme ofthe book, It's Up To You. We made so much progress, which was a great way to break in a predominantly new staff. By the time school started, the real work was well underway as the staffers faced deadlines and learned the intricate rules of production. We bought six new 1Macs, which was a huge help, especially because of the larger staff. While most of the yearbook requires hard work, we still managed to have fun, whether 1t be with the ever-entertammg Photobooth, or even paintballing! We put our blood, sweat, tears, hearts, and souls 1nto this yearbook, but 1t would be absolutely nothing without the people who contributed to some part of it. Of course, we must thank our adviser Mrs. Searby for just about everything. You helped us make a better book by questioning our decisions, makmg sure we really DO want the font to be s1ze 11. But you also JUmped 1n for us when we really needed 1t, and when you ask yourself why you're doing someone else's page, you would never cease, because you are of course, provider of candy and Goddess of the Un1verse! We also must thank our photographer Ron Sullivan, and our fabulous contributing photographers Kristie Cozad, Holly Hart, Liz Brunson, and all of the parents w1th cameras at hand. Thank you to our amazing staff: you guys were pretty young but you pulled through with great success! Thank you for the late afternoons and giving us the opportuniy to help you make some amazing pages. And it is definitely necessary for us to thank you, the reader. Th1s book would have no purpose if it weren't for the Incredible students at Centennial who inspire us. All of the hours spent meetmg deadlines, writmg copy, and taking pictures would mean nothing if it weren't for the moments you all create for us to document. It's been a great pleasure creatmg th1s book and we wish you all the best of luck in the future. Just remember that 1t really is up to you to succeed! Signing off!

China successfully used a m1sslle carrying a "kill vehicle" to blast an old Chinese weather satellite from its orbit 537 miles above Earth. U.S. government offic1als sa1d that the test could undermine relations with the West and pose a threat to satellites important to the U.S. military.

Ateam of French doctors removed a cyst from a man's arm in a 10-minute mid-air surgery used as a feasibility study for possible surgery in space. The five-doctor team operated in near zero-gravity conditions produced by an Airbus 300 looping to create interval dives simulating weightlessness. AKansas teenager racked up perfect scores on the ACT and SAT. Jakub Voboril of Wichita got a 36 on the ACT on his third try. He received his SAT results shortly after the perfect ACT score: a perfect score of 2400. He did check out test prep books, but his advice: "Pay attention m class."

The baiji, a rare, nearly bhnd wh1te river dolphin, is effectively extinct. Researchers say pollution and overfishing in the Yangtze River caused the species' demise. Plus, ship traffic there confused the sonar the baiji used to find food. Americans won the Nobel prizes for physics (John Mather of NASA Goddard Flight Center and George Smoot from UC Berkeley with their satellite program that backed up the Big Bang theory), chemistry (Roger D. Kornburg from Stanford School of Medicine who studied how cells take information from genes to produce proteins), medicine (Andrew Z. Fire from MIT and Craig C.
