- FOREWORD j US’'1 “11 m mm •■■ — « SC JCi :VHHHM The significance of these doors has been evident for years, but let us show by our successful endeavors in the future that these doors have greatly influenced us. They have been continually open to us and now we sadly depart hoping that the knowledge we have gained within these doors will assist us in meeting the challenges of life. As we leave, let us thank all those who have made this experience possible and try to the height of our ability to live up to the standards practiced within.

NEAL Assistant Superintendent of Schools Open doors are like open minds; both invite two-way traffic - of people or ideas, thus providing contacts that help us to make wise choices. The priv- ilege of choosing friends and determining courses of action based upon a thorough evaluation of ideas is especially vital for youth in a democracy. It is so essential to the preservation of our way of life and to our happiness. BYRON A. ZUDE Principal . . . OPEN THE DOORS TO EDUCATION BOARD OF EDUCATION J. I. Lanoue George M. Ryder Garold A.

STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of having a student council is to give the student body representation on im- pending school decisions. The student council is headed by the president, who additionally presides over school assemblies. The vice president, secretary, and treasurer are the remaining officers of the coun- cil and assist the president in school matters. Each home room elects a student to represent them directly and this completes the student council body. The council sponsors dances, promotes student government, conducts assemblies, and performs other notable services for the school. 50 ROW ONE: Cummings, Anderson, Wiedemann, Garabedian, Schultz, Orren, Blair.

DEBATE CLUB Debating is the academic counterpart of inter-scholastic sports. Like the successful athlete, the successful debater must undertake extensive preparation and face keen competition. Con- sequently, entering a championship round, he knows the exhilerating nervousness of the quarter- back waiting for the snap from center or the sprinter waiting for the starting gun. “Resolved: that the United Nations should be significantly strengthened”, the 1960-61 debate topic, has provided Center’s debate squad with two rewards—the specific, thorough insights into international relations, and the over-all, maturity that only the challenging and exciting moments of public speaking can provide. The team is to be commended for a won-lost record of high quality in competition against schools of larger enrollment with expanded speech departments and more highly-trained teams. The debate team has participated in the Rockhurst Invitational and the William Chrisman Tournaments. They plan to attend Springfield, Muskogee, Omaha, and the Regionals later this year. 51 LATIN I CLUB ROW ONE: Kienberger, Vice President; Northcutt, President; Renick, Secretary.

The “Castalians which is derived from the perpetually flowing fountain of Castalia in Rome, is truly a proper name for the Latin Clubs of the 1960-1961 school year. Their members have acted with consistent energy in the many activities in which the clubs have participated. Over and above vigorous studies in class, the clubs helped a needy family at Christmastime, built interesting projects involving Roman culture, and sold Roman newspapers and food during Latin Week. Also many members of the groups have discovered truth in the clubs motto, Age et Nosce Experientia.

Le Cercle Francais, Center’s French Club, is open to all French students in good standing. The purpose of the club is to develop an appreciation of French customs and culture while promoting fellow- ship among members. Included in the outstanding events of the school year was the Fete Noel, the Christmas extravaganza, with a dinner-dance and the singing of French Christmas carols. Anyone who came to the P.T.A. Carnival will remember the clever sidewalk cafe sponsored by the club, an artistic and financial success. Other special events were two informal lectures given in French by native French speakers, Madame Keyes and Madame Everett. On three occasions the club members went to the Nelson Art Gallery to see French language films and to tour the French sections. 57 YELLOWJACKET STAFF Alfred Birch Editor in Chief Anita Swenson Assistant Editor Margaret Corben Activity Editor Mike McDaniel Activity Editor Janet Horn Class Editor Sue Raffurty Class Editor Dave Walker Sports Editor Phyllis Wade Copy Editor Phyllis types dramatics page.

Y-TEENS Pam Steele President Jody Swartz Vice- President Judy Foraker Secretary Cathy Smith Treasurer For this group of 79 live Y-ers” the year started with a dual purpose: to help in the development of school spirit and to engage in a wide variety of service projects. The former purpose was started on the way to accomplishment by inviting the coaches and the foot- ball squad to be introduced at the first meeting, after which Coach Kuechler remained to give the girls an instructional talk on the fundamentals of football. Service projects, planned to enlist the participation and interest of the entire student body, included trick-or-treating for UNICEF; a wishing well for world peace; gifts of fruit, clothing, toys, and money for Mercy Hospital at Christmas; Easter baskets for the children in the Spofford Home. Traditionally, the Y- Teens have sponsored the assemblies preceding religious holidays. Mr. Adams from the Human Relations Bureau wove his Thanksgiving speech around the theme of the brotherhood of man. The Speech and Music Departments worked together to present THE SHEPHERDS AND THE WISE MEN at Christmas. And Father Kearney from Christ the King Church gave the Easter Message. Programs for the club throughout the year covered a wide range of subjects, some of the more interesting being: Christmas gift wrapping, a rumor clinic, a speaker from the juvenile court. Pamela Steele not only successfully guided the group as president during the year, but also was chosen from the Missouri delegation at the Y-Teen summer conference to represent Missouri to plan next A year’s conference.

Dr. Abraham Gilprin Head of Neurological Hospital, attach- ed to General Hospital, Paul Wiedemann, State Treas- urer of F.T. A. Karen Olsen, State Vice-Pres- ident of F. T. A. New members of F. T. A. The purpose of the F.T. A. is to instill in high school students the desire to become teachers and to acquaint them with facts concerning the teaching profession. The programs for the meetings include panel discussions, movies and teachers and administrators as guest speakers. The highlights of the year's activities included a trip to Hallmark Cards and a day of student teaching at the Center District School of the students' choice. This year two of our chapter's executives, Karen Olsen and Paul Wiedemann, were elected state officers in the Missouri State F.T. A. 71 LIBRARIANS SEATED, Left to Right: Clark, Brown, Boeger. FRONT: Wilson, Rawdon. STANDING: Harris, Blair, Foster, Emerson, Steele, Anson. THE LIBRARY Seventeen students, as assistant librarians, completed a busy year that saw circulation and patronage almost doubled over the preceding year. Sometimes as many as three classes were in the library simul- taneously, which was not the most satisfying arrangement possible, but which did bespeak the intensive use being made of library materials by both students and faculty. The library budget pemitted the addition of 485 new books: 91 biographies, 179 fiction, 76 miscel- laneous non-fiction, the 1960 WORLD BOOK set, and the 54 books in the Great Books program. In addi- tion, 65 books were apportioned to us in mathematics, science, and foreign languages through the N.D.EA. project. An enlargement of our news horizon was made possible by a subscription to the daily ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH and the Sunday edition of the NEW YORK TIMES with its excellent MAGAZINE. Student assistants were responsible for the October display case on the main floor. They also helped plan and arrange many of the displays in the library. Samples of work done in the various depart- ments were exhibited throughout the year. The Art Club added to the attractiveness of the Christmas atmosphere with another colorful religious painting on the plate glass windows, as has been the custom each year. Much more responsibility was assumed by the assistant librarians than heretofore, even much of the procedure of processing the new books having been done by them. They deserve much credit for a great deal of hard work willingly performed in service to the school. 72 SCENES AROUND SCHOOL - Mr. Gotham's World History. Chemistry Mr. Sappenfield's World History.

Asel, B. Weeks. K. Parker, P. Jiles, C. Jung, B. Werling, G. Hook; Miss Roller and Mr. Selvey, Advisors. It is the natural urge of man to justify his existence by creating. Much teen-age violence is a vivid expression of (liberally speaking) the same urge. However, Center’s Creative Writers are quite tame; their urges dribble through in nebulous similes and metaphors, in elaborate narrative and pseudo-sophisticated dialog, occasionally in a loud, didactic essay and largely in thoroughly blank verse. The Creative Writing Club is an organization, distinctly apart from the newspaper and yearbook. Its members probe not into the school’s athletic, academic, or social events, but into such items as love, hate, life, death, joy, and sorrow. CREATIVE WRITING GALILEE On the sea of Galilee A jasmine-scented breeze moves the waters Of the Clearest pool In inky patterns. From the hills I can see by Galilee; The wonder of her lakes, So black in the night. So azure in the day. . . And the fish with fantails; Myriad colors. . . Can I see when the sun shines. Yet they hide from me during the night. And I cannot weep enough For the land I cannot walk through And the colors I cannot behold From the hills of Lebanon, So near, so far, Not a stone's throw Or the length of a bowshot distant. From the prison I cannot trespass Do I dream of Galilee. Francine King THE QUEEN IS DEAD I have walked my beloved streets and found That summer is grown old and dying. Empty leaves rattle across the street like bones And there is no end to migrating birds These are but the first to go. From some forgotten place there has sprung a wind And it frequents all men Some in rags, some in tags, and some in velvet gowns For there is neither dignity nor selection in a Death throe. It follows me through the streets like a whining beggar Gloating in the fact that it has accomplished The murder of a time for dreaming Murder of a time Murder Only now, as I look back, do I see how lovely she was Only now, with her heart cut open as it is. Things unspoken will do no good for her corpse So let us leave them unsaid, unpraised, uncriticised The Queen is dead, long live the Queen. Polly Jiles. Me is someone I am among the joy and sham I appear sometimes a ham sometimes a lamb But that’s what I am. Rita Shapiro. THE HOUSEKEEPER She sits upon the bed. Hair disheveled, eyes age-worn, time-old. Rising, she looks at all she did before And sees only what must be done again. But a nod, a sigh, are all and enough for her As she wakes and waits each dawn. She is ready now to meet Another tireless, changeless, fleeting day, And in it do what she thinks must be done, What she knows the only thing to do. This is enough for her, and she smiles and says How lovely is the day and How I hate the dark. Seeing this is good, knowing in her way the goodness. She smiles again and nods, Returning to her work. Bruce Weeks. EBB The night flows thick among the trees; The grass, the fur that clothes the earth, Ripples, beckons, and joins the ebb. Yet gulls like lords defy the tide. And deafly cry, We know not how. Let us then lie among the sea, And watch the fleeing light die in immortal pain. Let us defy the flight and with invention Return the light and calm the sea. Yet the flow will move, the light will die; Until someday, both you and I, Exhaust all effort and then die. And still the flood moves on.

This fact can be verified by the number of players from the team who were selected to receive the following distinctions: All Conference: Tom Ringel, Alan Atterbury, Mike Greene, Dick Langford, Dave Root(2nd), Charles Day(2nd), Frank Crow(2nd). Earl Denyer (HM), Charles Masters(HM). Gene Oliver (HM). Jerry Parrot (HM). All District: Mike Greene, Tom Ringel. Alan Atterbury(3rd), Dick Langford(HM), Dave Root(HM). All State: Mike Greene(lst) Tom Ringel(2nd). The Rockne Club of K. C. presented the Dr. Nigro Award to Mike Greene naming him most valuable player in the Greater Kansas City area. Coach Kuechler was also honored by the Rockne Club when he was presented with the annual Coach of the Year Award. However, there are other contributing factors which must be combined to produce a championship football team. A team must be able to drive hard when they are down. Each team member must be taught to display what Coach Kuechler calls mental toughness”; the ability to make oneself deliver 100 effort during the entire game even though physical fatigue may be overwhelming. Finally, each player must be taught to analyze his opponents'every move, and to take advantage of them during the game. Coach Kuechler s awareness to teach these requirements, and the team's ability to learn and perform them, was instrumental in their success this year. Center 39 Belton 6 An impregnable line and a hard hitting backfield proved to be more than Belton could suppress. Dick Langford scored Center’s first TD of the season with a 7 yard run around Belton's right end. Mike Greene followed this with a 48 yard punt return, and then in the same quarter, scored another TD from Belton's own 5 yard line. Frank Crow, not to be surpassed by Greene's sensational long score, scored on an equally exciting run when he sprinted 60 yards on another punt return for Center's fourth TD of the first quarter. Roy Farchmin broke loose late in the second quarter for a 34 yard run for the only Center TD of that quarter. Belton scored their only TD in the second half, but this was matched late in the last quarter when Frank Crow carried the ball for a short plunge into the end zone. When the clock finally ran out, the scoreboard read -Center 39 and Visitors 6. Center 26 Liberty 14 Most people expected the Center-Liberty game to be a thriller and they were not disappointed. Mike Greene started the ball rolling for Center when he ran from the Liberty 11 for 6, and then kicked the point after touchdown to place the Yellowjackets in front 7-0. The second quarter was one of plenty for the Bluejays and when it ended. Liberty found itself in the lead 14-7. The second half was Center all the way. Frank Crow scored from the Liberty 2 and then ran 25 yards for the Yellowjackets in the third quarter. Mike Greene broke loose on a 58 -yard run to score for Center in the last quarter. Good defense was the only reason why the Bluejays didn't score in the remainder of the game. Tom Ringel and Dave Root led the Yellowjacket squad with tackles. Ringel had 10 and Root 9. Center 28 port Osage 7 The tough and overconfident Fort Osage Indians became victory number three for the Yellowjacket record. Prior to their meeting with Center, FortOsage had remained unscored upon by their opponents. The contest was played at Fort Osage and at the beginning it appeared as if the Indians would preserve their perfect record when they scored early in the first quarter. However, upon receiving the kickoff Center began marching towards their opponents' goal with a series of hard hitting plays straight through the middle of the Indian's husky line until Dick Langford eventually carried the ball over for Center's first TD of the night. All the remainder of the night Center played the same tough style of hard running football. Jerry Parrott scored the next Center TD in the second quarter while in the midst of a driving rain. Despite the muddy field Center managed to run up 14 more points on the scoreboard to defeat the FortOsage Indians 28-7. Center 44 Park Hill 6 Mike Greene ran 20 yards to open up a relentless Center attack upon the Park Hill Trojans that ended in a 44-6 victory for the Yellowjackets. FrankCrow followed next from the Trojan's 2 in the second quarter. In this same quarter came also three more Center tallies. One of which was a sensational 69 yard run by Dick Langford, and the others were scored by Jerry Parrott and Roy Farchmin each within Park Hill's own 10 yard line. Roy Farchmin then matched Park Hill's only TD when he ran 35 yards to collect pay- dirt in the third quarter. At the finish of the contest Center had collected 469 rushing yards to the Trojan's 100. Center 26 Ruskin 0 Ask any Center football player which opponent hit the hardest and played the hardest and the probable answer would be the Ruskin Eagles. However, to look at the score one would not think this to be a fact. TDs were all scored by Dick Langford and Mike Greene. Dick went over in the first quarter from the Ruskin 6 yard line and Mike scored one TD in each remaining quarter all from within the Eagles 5. Credit must be given to the Yellowjacket’s linemen who made the way for their own backs (370 rushing yards) and held the Ruskin ballcarriers to almost no gains. (71 yards) Alan Atterbury s aggressiveness collected for himself 14 tackles. Phil Patti also played ball and had a total of 11 tackles. Center 28 Grandview 7 Stomp the Bulldogs was the game motto chanted at the Yellowjacket’s pre-game pep assembly, and stomp the bulldogs they did. At the beginning of the game it looked as though it might be Stomp the Yellowjackets instead when George Worely, Grandview fullback, escaped through the middle of Center’s line and sprinted the distance of 90 yards to give the Bulldogs an early lead. In the second quarter the Yellowjackets redeemed themselves with two successive aerial attacks. The first TD .was a short five yard running pass from Dick Langford to Jerry Parrott who caught the ball while in an almost, prone position. The second showed off Mike Greene’s tremendous ability to throw a football great distances. Upon receiving the snap, Greene rolled out deep to his right looking for a receiver with Grandview defenders in close pursuit. While Greene was still running in a lateral direction he jumped and passed 46 yards to Dick Langford who made an electrifying leap and catch to score 6 more points to be added to their previous 7. Greene’s attempt for the point after the TD was good. This gave Center the favor of a 14-7 score at half-time. In the second half the Yellowjackets came back just as strong. Frank Crow scored in the third quarter on a 9 yard run and Greene kicked the extra point. In the last quarter Greene scored one last insuring TD from the Bulldogs 6 and kicked his third extra point of the night to defeat the Grandview Bulldogs 28-7. Center 40 Lee’s Summit 0 The Yellowjackets Homecoming was played with the Lee’s Summit Tigers before a capacity crowd at Center’s Memorial Field. The Homecoming festivities took place before the start of the game. Miss Mary Pearson was named Homecoming Queen and her attendents were Miss Pamela Steele, Miss Sue Raffurty, Miss Polly Lowe, Miss Judy Miller, and Miss Rita Ellis. After the game Queen Pearson reigned over the homecoming dance which was sponsored by the C Club. Both teams were held scoreless until the second'quarter when Dick Langford broke away on a tre- mendous 55 yard run to give Center first score. In the same quarter Jerry Parrott also carried the ball on a fine 14 yard run, and with Mike Greene’s point after TD kicks, the Yellowjackets ended the first half with a 14-0 lead. In the 3rd quarter Mike Greene hit end Richard Houtz with a 35 yard pass which was followed up by a 41 yard score by Frank Crow. This raised the score to 28-0. In the last quarter Mike Greene and Dick Langford awed players and spectators both when Mike fired a beautiful 46 yard running pass into the hands of Langford in the Tiger end zone. Frank Crow amazed spectators a second time when he deceived Tiger tacklers in running back a Lee's Summit punt the full distance of 54 yards for the 6th and last Yellowjacket TD of the night. Center 52 Blue Springs 0 The Center Yellowjackets had their stingers extra sharp on the night they met with Blue Springs Wildcats. This game was loaded with spectacular long run scores. Frand Crow intercepted a Blue Spring’s pass and then carried the stolen football for a 52 yard Center TD. In the second quarter Mike Greene and Dick Langford crossed the Blue Springs goal line on 25 and 15 yard runs respectively. At the half Center was in the lead 20-0. The Yellowjackets continued their merciless scoring throughout the second half to surpass their first half score by 12 points. Mike Greene scored in the early part of the 3rd quarter upon recovering the Blue Springs fumble and making a 39 yard run down the north sideline. Greene next fired a pass to Jerry Parrott for a total of 35 yards to score another Center TD. Frank Crow broke loose and made a 44 yard score. Then Ken Luther made a fine 52 yard jaunt that ended the 3rd quarter with the Yellowjackets in the lead, 48-0. In the closing minutes of the 4th quarter Joe Pryor recovered another Blue Springs fumble and sprinted 91 yards to end the contest 52-0, Center’s victory. Center 13 William Chrisman 7 The Yellowjackets last game of the 1960 season was played against the Conference Champions of the Pony Express League, the William Chrisman Bears of Independence, Missouri. Both teams had remained undefeated, but since William Chrisman had tied two of their games they claimed the excuse that the Pony Express League was composed of much stronger teams than those of the Suburban Conference. Thus the Center Yellowjackets not only were playing to win for their own school, but they also had the responsibility to uphold the honor of the entire Suburban Conference. The game remained scoreless until the second quarter when Dick Langford scored from the Bear’s 5. Then on a fake PAT kick, Mike Greene fired a pass to Dick Langford to put the ’jackets ahead 7-0. Chrisman struck back in the same quarter to make a tie score. They threatened again before the end of the half when they recovered the ball on the Yellowjackets 4 yard line but a great goal line stand allowed them to advance only as far as the 1 yard line. Both teams failed to score in the 3rd quarter but in the last fluarter 107 V__, rarrift.1 the, hall FOOTBALL TEAM ROW ONE: Crow, Parrott, Oliver, Day, Atterbury, Ringel, Denyer, Masters, Root, Langford, Greene.
