Central Elementary School 1962 - 1963

Central Elementary was one of three elementary schools in the Hampton Township School District. Poff and Wyland were the other two. In those early years, there were many young children on the street and Green Valley Drive was well represented at Central. Additionally, some of the families on Green Valley and Farmview sent their children to St. Mary's School.

In its second edition, Tusky In Orbit was the Central Elementary school yearbook for 1962-1963. Wendy Beale was one of the student editors. Student names were listed by their picture. If they held a class office, it was indicated with one or two asterisks (for the semester) and the first letters to indicate President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer or Student Council.
