Contents I. SCHOOL’S MASTERS II. ACTIVITIES III. TRIBES IV. SPORTS V. CLUBS In Memoriam One of our students who passed away during the year has been missed by his classmates. Paul Gauchat, sophomore, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew E. Gauchat, passed away October 9, 1950. Dedication New Ideas . . . New Ideals . . . Achievement . . . and another group of young men and women searching for a new frontier. It is ever thus . . . constant change . . . unconquered wilderness . . . soldiers . . . pioneers . . . progress ... all encompassed l� y education, one of mans few permanent ideals. It is therefore with great pride that we dedicate this annual to education and the moving force behind it . . . our schools . . . those developers of value patterns which give purpose and direction to our lives . . . which enables us to achieve the competence necessary to make a positive and worthwhile contribution to group living. Seated above are members of the Hoard of Education who, left to right, are: F. E. Wyttenbach, I)r. E. A. Rudolph, Wilbur Kearns, Archie A. Bolduan, John I). Rice, H. Jim Stout and Howard Bastian. With great appreciation, we wish to give a vote of thanks to those important people behind the scenes. It is the duty of the board to decide the money appropriations to be given to the school and to formulate the policy of our educational system. Through faifthful attention to many minute details they have assisted in making our 1950-51 school year a successful and happy one. Superintendent John D. Rice As we near the end of the school year we realize that we have much to thank our capable and friendly superintendent for. Throughout this year we have found him to be kind, fair and loyal and entering into the fun with as much zest as any of us. We feel greatly indebted to Mr. Rice for the many things he has done for us. All members of ihe class of 51 owe many thanks to “Cy ‘ Holgate for his advice and assistance throughout their high school years. As our principal, Mr. Holgate, without a doubt, has contributed much to the successful molding of our character. Let us look at each other — at our instructors — at our courses and policies. Let us compare and consider. Then let us stop and say, “Thank you. Mr. Holgate.” Friendly and capable are words that describe our office secretary, Mary Ellen Morrow. We have always found her willing to offer her assistance and in her two years at Central she has become very important to all of us. Miss Loretta Mundt, vice principal and girls counselor, is an outstanding personality in the eyes of all Centralitcs. In performing her many tasks, she always maintains a cheerful and enthusiastic attitude. Because she takes a personal interest in the functions of the school and in each individual student, she has contributed much to the progress of our education.

This group, under the supervision of Mr. Hasse, is selected by the Student Council. Monitors PAGEANT DAY Pageant Day, Central’s annual Homecoming, began September 21, with an all-school pep fest in the arena. A short skit entitled, “Erma’s Impression of a Football Game,” was presented by the Pep Club and three new cheer-leaders were initiated. This was followed by the traditional snake dance, which began in front of the arena, wound its way down Main Street, renewed its pep at the post office with songs and yells, and returned to the school grounds. At the end of the line, “Homer Huron was tossed into the huge bonfire, symbolizing Hurons defeat at the Homecoming game. Surrounding the school early the next morning were bare trucks of all shapes and sizes. Hut after adding crepe paper, chicken wire, napkins, signs, etc., they began to resemble floats. And to most everyone's surprise the hopeless was almost accomplished by noon-time. Then came the coronation, the most exciting moment of the day, when cheers and applause greeted the crowning of Penny Wipf and Herb Cochrane as the 1950-51 Queen and Marshal. Because last year’s royalty, Marlene Kihnick and Leroy Nikolas were unable to attend the ceremony, the new Queen and Marshal were crowned by Joan Strader and Hob Frieh, the royalty from two years previous. After the assembly, Pageant Day Booklets, which were pul out by the Student Council, were distributed to everyone. The jHirade theme, “Cities of the World,” was carried out nicely by the many colorful floats representing various cities. The parade found its way to Simmon’s Field, where the Aberdeen Eaglets defeated Lcola 12-0. The weatherman also joined in the spirit of the day, and produced a beautiful setting for the Eagle-Tiger football battle. The Eagles, backed by enthusiastic fans, came out on top of a 53-0 score. Congrats, Eagles! The final touch was added to a great day as Queen Penny and Marshal Herb reigned over the memorable 1950 Pageant Dance. To complete the word description, the following five pages are assembled to help you remember the 1950 Homecoming. Marshal Nominees Jerry Albert Jim Fish Don Random Rol� Dell Dave Sabatka Kay Dunker Bruce Lippke Eaglean Follies Family Circle Our fall play, “Family Circle,” was presented November 17, under the direction of Miss Chilton.

Other student actors were Lorena Schwan, Alex Hilsendeger, Jean Sloan, Maureen Miller, Arlo I-evi, Catherine Prestegard, Don Pfieffer, Stanley Blooraster, and Don Watters. JL The all-srhool play, “Mother is a Freshman. a comedy in three acts, was presented May 11. in the Civic Theater. It was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd. It concerns the sometimes uproarious adventures of a young, attractive mother who is forced to attend college with an indignant daughter and is one of the most produced and successful plays in the country.

Other officers for the semester were: Herb Cochrane, vice-president I not pictured); Georgia Prison, secretary; and Doug Throckmorton, treasurer. Their class advisor is Miss Constance Conner.

Representative Seniors Bob Dell Diane Zarneke Luella Draper Bruce Lippke Representative Seniors Jim Fish Penny Wipf Marilee Buttz Dave Sabatka During the second semester the juniors, in continued good judgment, chose I'om Hunker as their president: Jim Stewart, vice-president; and Pat Donahue, secretary-treasurer, while Bev Kraft continued in the office of junior representative. The big project of these officers was making all arrangements for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Much credit is also due Miss Hannah Buss, junior class advisor, under whose excellent supervision the officers were able to do such a fine job. Junior Class Officers The junior class got off to an excellent start by electing Jim Labesky, president; Rich Kims, vice-president; Hob Olson, secretary-treasurer; and Beverly Kraft, junior representative. Their duties included sponsoring a dance and supervising the decoration of the Queens and Marshals floats on Pageant Day. Sophomore Class Officers The sophomores, a group of energetic and co-operative people, chose Fred Cowley as president for the first semester. Other officers were Wayne Fix, vice-president; and Arlan Overbust, secretary-treasurer. Among their duties was the planning of the Sophomore party, which was held in the fall of the year. Although these people were newcomers to Central they all done a very efficient job of representing their class. The second semester officers for the sophomore class were also well chosen as leaders and representatives of their class. The class chose Dick Boettcher, president; Charles Trebilcock, vice-president; and Don Goodspeed, secretary-treasurer. These officers wisely led their class through the second semester under the guidance of Mr. Joseph Yarbrough. 1. Come up and see me some time 2. Da Smitty’s 3. Jay and Jane 4. Carol -s-s-s-s 5.

Season's Highlights Aberdeen placed in a two-way tie for second place this year with the Brookings Bobcats, both with a five win and two loss record, while Sioux Falls was the conference champion sweeping to a six win and one tic final standing. Mylo Jackson led his boys to a 19-0 victory over the Irish from Sioux Falls Cathedral for their first win. The Eagles had trouble getting started as they collected seven points in the first half, but came hack with (Continued on page 611 Herb Pictured on the left is Herb Cochrane who had the misfortune of breaking his ankle the first week before the opening game.

The game was played in the mud, which somewhat hampered the new Eagle split-T offense. In the second game on Pageant Day the Eagles drubbed Huron 53-0. The Jackson men, showing the best passing attack in several years, so completely controlled the game that the Tigers gained a total of 53 yards in the entire contest and only three first downs. The Eagles marched 373 yards from scrimmage and scored in every quarter but the second, tallying 33 points in the final stanza. The Aberdeen Flock turned back the rugged Watertown eleven, 14-0 for their third straight win. The game was played on the Arrows home field in the rain, but a combination of power and breaks gave the F.agles the game. The Eagles scored 12 points in the second quarter and a safety in the fourth to stop the Arrows cold. Still undefeated and unscored upon, the Eagles traveled to Brookings only to have the underdogs come back to beat them 12-0. Trouble halting the Eagles consisted of very cold weather and an extra long game because of the lights on the field. The Eagles battled Brookings to a stalemate for three quarters but the Bobcats broke the ice with two quick touchdowns. With a Conference record of 2 and 1, the Aberdeen eleven needed the next game to remain in the championship race and they did so by defeating the Mitchell Kernels 39-13. Scoring on the ground and through the air, the Eagles moved ahead with two touchdowns in the second period. Mitchell tried hard (Continued on page 62) Dave Bob Dave Rich Doug This one is for the girls. to muster an attack but couldn't click. With every Kernel mistake the alert Aberdeen eleven turned them into Eagle tallys. This was Mitchell's first Conference loss. The Golden flock then met the Sioux Falls Warriors on their Orange Letter Day homecoming. The Warriors climaxed the day with a stunning 27-6 vicotry for their seventh straight win without a loss. Sioux Falls had too much power and just flattened the Eagles. This was the first time Sioux falls had beaten Aberdeen in four years. A crowd of 5000 watched the battle. Madison fans figure the Eagles showed the best deception of any team to play them as the Jacksonmen beat them 26-6. The Eagles made 14 first downs and 256 yards in a combination single wing and 1 formation. The Golden Eagles brought the football season to a close with a resounding 40-7 victory over the Yankton Bucks.

Eagle Basketball Our 1950-51 Golden Eagles were heralded as a gieat team this year as they set one of the best sportsmanship examples in the E.S.D. conference. Their season record was not the best but the cooperation of the team toward the officials and players of other teams was remarkable. This year the Eagles had no non-conference games as they started right off with the Brookings Bobcats. This game was a heartbreaker to the Aberdeen fans as the Eagles lost 35 to 37 away from the home court. Back home the gallant Eagle squad played the Watertown Arrows only to get turned hack again 37-33. The Eagles put on a fourth quaiter rally but were stopped short by the time clock. Traveling to Yankton the highly spirited Aberdeen quint met the Bucks in mid court to stop them 44-36. The Huron Tigers were next on the schedule. Jackson's squad went down l efore the undefeated host team 45-37 in their first encounter on a small floor. The Eagles hit their first home victory when they played the Mitchell Kernels. After trailing the first quarter the Eagles started to hit and clinched the game 40-30. With a two win and three loss record the Golden flock went to Madison to meet a fast breaking team. The Eagles held the height advantage which helped them win by a score of 42 to 37. A strong and very smooth Sioux Falls team came to the Huh City to give the Eagles a stinging defeat with the final score reading Sioux Falls 53 and Aberdeen 37. Brookings took a long trip to Al crdccn to find themselves victorious for a second time. The game was close until three Eagle starters fouled out. The Bobcats went on to win 50 to 37. The Eagles hit their stride against Yankton as they downed the Bucks 49-35 on the Eagles home court.

Doug Throckmorton hit well to lead Aberdeen to a 55-42 win over the Huron Tigers. Mitchell was next on the schedule, and as we had beaten them once, we were over confident as the Kernels clipped us 44-40. The Madison Bulldogs played ball against the Eagles and went on to win 57-18. The last game of conference play took place in Aberdeen as the Sioux Falls Warriors were the guests of the Eagles and brought the present of a 47-31 defeat.

The group meets every Thursday at four o’clock, after school. The first part of the year, the girls turned their interest to basketball. There were four teams: Swishers, Sweatsox, Flasherettes, and Dirty Sox. Ihese teams were composed mainly of girls in every gym class, and also members of G.A.A. I he Swishers came out on lop with a record of nine wins and one loss, Sweatsox were second, Hasherettes third, and Dirty Sox were the cellar-dwellers. Also, the girls played two games with the nurses from St. Luke’s Hospital. I he high school group chose their best players for the games, and came out victorious with scores of 22-155 and 22-8. As spring approached, softball replaced volleyball at the weekly meetings. LaVonne Wiersbcck served as president, with Donna Holdridge as secretary-treasurer. This year the girls are under a new coach, Mary Amacher. who is doing a great job. 29 mo Barbara Srhachte Edilor-in-Chicf Senior Editor, Barbara Boettcher; Sophomore Editor, Luella Wageman; and Junior Editor, Marcia Dubel. Through blood, sweat, tears, and the constant cracking whip, our diligently working staff has come through at last. This year the board has a new advisor, Mr. Noecker, who though camera shy, is with us in spirit. Other members of the staff pictured to the right, are, Jim Fish, Business Manager; Rich Elms, sports; Marilee Butt ., Activities Editor; and Bill Erhart, Sports Editor. Below, Jeanette Zick, activities; Norah Sidow, activities, and Donna Ackerman, Art Editor. We all have enjoyed helping in the production of the Arrow, and we hope that you will be as proud of it as we are. Sophomore Staff Word Craft Editors And Assistants Co-editors And Typists Central is very proud, and justly so, of it's literary magazine, Word-craft. Through endless hours of revising and editing the Wordcraft members have completed a near perfect publication. The board consists of Sophomore, Junior and Senior members who are talented and best suited in this type of work. Under the supervision of Miss Grace Baker the Wordcraft comes out about the middle of May in a special assembly put on by the members. Co-editors are Jeanette Mullan and Bruce Lippke. Keystone During each school year, two ceremonies are held to initiate members into Central's National Honor Society. To he elgihle, students must he in the upper one fourth of their respective classes in scholarship and l e outstanding in leadership, service and character. Pictured at the left is the group which was initiated in the spring of 1950. Below is the group taken in at the end of the 1951 first semester. FRONT ROW: Donna Ackerman, Bonnie Becker, Patsy Evans, Joanne Harsted, Norah Sidow, Margaret Mathers, LaVonne Brown, Mary Jo Drake, and Ethel Young. BACK ROW: Donna Lou Fritsche, Ivan Palmer, David Rice, Jerry Popowski, Marilee Buttz, Boh Dell, Jessie Strader, Diane Zarneke, Bruce Lippke, and Boh Lchnertz. Membership in Quill and Scroll, the National Honor Society for High School Journalists, is an honor bestowed only on our friends who have shown an active ability in writing. This year the Quill and Scroll has been composed of two senior girls, Norah Sidow and Joanne Harsted. Although we hear little about Quill and Scroll because there arc no regular meetings, the members’ literary abilities have been evidenced in the Wordcraft, Arrow and Blue and Gold as well as in the classroom. QJJILL SCROLL Blue and Gold Central's second-year journalists made an equally pleasant repeat performance this year when they continued to raise the standards of the school paper. Students eagerly awaited each issue whether it he for the sports, gossip or front-page news. Since we must give credit where it is due, it is necessary to mention the endless hours spent on writing, copy and proof-reading and page-makeup by the Blue and Gold’s able editor, Joanne Harsted. Responsible for the features, were editors, Norah Sidow, first semester, and Patsy Tippy, second semester. Dave Sabat-ka and his staff brought the sports news around Central to the students’ attention. Last, but certainly not least, are the very important ad-sellers and the members of the printing classes headed by Mr. Ruck. Mr. Noecker was the paper’s advisor. Golden Blues DANCE BAND Central's own dance hand, the Golden Blues, furnishes music for all school dances and parties. The members of this hand give their talents and time to assist in providing social entertainment for the student body. Extra curricular credits and a steak dinner arc the only self-benefits for this group. The Golden Blues are under the direction of Mr. Arthur C. Schwuchow, assisted by Mr. Francis Dorre.

Their many appearances begin with the first football game of the year and continue until the Music Festival in May. The end of their public appearances is by no means the end to the bands early morning rehearsals, diligent practice and the criticisms of their director. Hut, all in all, these things have been the key to their success throughout the entire year.

Under the leadership of student council president Jim Fish, this year’s council established a reputation of getting the job done for the students. More student consideration in student affairs was brought about through the concerted efforts of this group. Sponsoring the Aberdeen Relays, staging the F.aglcan Follies, and arranging the Pageant Day activities are only a few of their many duties. In addition to these activities they sponsor a number of school dances and sell items to raise money which will eventually he spent to the school’s advantage. Mr. Hassc is the advisor. Pictured left to right are: Boh Olson. vice president; Jim Fish, president; and Ann Hasse. secretary. Safety Patrol Central's newly formed safety organization has proven Itself in its first year of operation to he both worthwhile and efficient. In the early fall forty-eight students were nominated by the Student Council for membership in the Safety Patrol. These forty-eight students found it their duty to hold posts at different times during the school day to enforce the regulations relative to pedestrian behavior and the proper use of motor vehicles. Helping to make this program a success was Mr. Solem who acted as advisor. The governing body of the patrol pictured at the right, consisted of a president. Jim Fish, and a secretary, Marilee Buttz, along with class representatives, Bob Dell. Don Parsons, Paul Hasse, Bob Zimmerman, Dick Hocvcn and Dick Boettcher. Our debate team did not enter the Inter-Scholastic Tournament this year. Their only rivalry was in class to class competition. The team was under the very capable direction of Mr. J. W. Yarbrough. Gordon Bjonerud, extemporaneous speaker, and Dave Lewis, original oratory, represented Aberdeen at the Division Five Speech Contest held at Mobridge. The local second and third place winners, respectively, for extemporaneous speaking were Norah Sidow and Duane Wilde. Jesse Strader and Gladys Hughes were second and third place winners in original oratory. An exceeding number of students showed interest in the local declam contest, which was held last fall. Doing excellent work and winning their way to the district elimination contest in Mobridge were Joanne Heckler, dramatics; Scott Stearns, oratory; Betty Har-tung, poetry; and Jesse Strader, who received a “Superior” rating in humorous to go on to the state contest where she again received a superior. Girl and Boy Staters Girl ami Hoy Staters are chosen from members of the junior class to represent Central High School as delegates to Dakota Wesleyan College at Mitchell and Northern State Teachers College here in Aberdeen. These students have an opportunity to take part in a workshop of citizenship. They are kept busy with duties of city, county and state governments which include specifically, fulfilling office positions, attending senate or house meetings and listening to lectures. Participating in talent assemblies, publishing a daily newspaper, campaigning and many other activities fill the short week. Joati Bjoncrud. Solveig Lee, and Jean Bozendal. above, are the three representatives chosen by the junior class and the faculty to attend Girls State in 1951. Be!ow are the Boy Slaters for this year. They are left to right, seated; Gene Goheen, Richard Elms, Charles Kirkpatrick, and Bob Olson; standing, are: Bdl Stellner, Tom Bunker, Fred Forseth. Richard Holgatc, Max Cloud and Jim Stewart. Girls Bowling The Girls Bowling League had such a wide turn-out this year from the three classes at Central, that it was necessary to divide it into two separate leagues. Each league meets on either Monday or Tuesday after school at the Huh City Bowling Alley. This spring the top four teams in each league will take part in a final tournament. Coaching for the Monday League was Shirley Dixon and for the Tuesday League, Helen Brooks. Miss Amacher acted as advisor for both groups. The team captains were: Barbara Wright and Eunice Retzer, Monday League; Margaret Llsing and Helen Brooks co-ordinated the teams in the Tuesday League. In the Leagues, the Ducklings came out on top with 18 wins and 2 losses. Averaging the highest at the end of the howling year for the Monday League were Donna Holdridge, 126; Shirley Dixon, 120 and Harriet Kringer, 111. For the Tuesday Leauge, Helen Brooks, 118; Donna Wilson, 114 and Margaret Rising and Marlys Brown tied with 107. Boys Bowling Friday, April 13, unlucky as it may seem, marked the the close of a highly successful season for the Central’s Bays Bowling League at the Huh Recreation Club. Fiist place honors went to Walter Jahraus and his Saints, second to the Indians captained by LaVerne Barber and third to the Millers, led by Gary Purdy. The rest of the teams and captains were: Redbirds, Gagnon; Brewers, Weigel; and Blues, Pfeiffer. The league ran for twenty four weeks and a doubles and singles tournament closed out the season. I.a-Verne Barber copped high average honors with 151 and Kenny Gagnon had high game of 211. Reedy Fossum was faculty advisor for the league with Alex Hilsendeger as president and Gary Purdy as secretary. Pictured on the left is Carl Rawie of the “Millers” attempting to pick up a strike during regular league howling. Carl is regarded as having one of the fastest halls in the league and as such is quite a menace to the pinhoys. Senior Speech Club An act in the Faglean Follies and a patriotic assembly were only a few of the many and various activities of the Senior Speech Club. Under the supervision of Mr. Yarbrough the club has been very active. First semester president. Donna I ou Fritsche, and second semester president, Scott Stearns, have proved to be eapahle leaders. Junior Speech Club Our Junior Speech Club has had much suceess in its numerous activities this year, and much of the credit goes to its advisor, Mr. Yarbrough. Mary Lou Sanders presided over the club during the first semester. During this time the club sponsored a school dance. Clara Huber was president during the second semester, and during this time a radio broadcast, student assembly, and the annual spring banquet were held. The club consisted of 35 members this year.

Pictured left to right standing are: Hob Royster, Fred Forseth. Rob Olson, and Arlan Overbust. Seated: Norma Jean Hansen, Lu-ella Draper, Carol Birdseye, and Marcia Prescott. Radio Announcers S,utlenl announcers were chosen by Mr. Yarbrough after a voice recording was taken of eac h student wishing to he an announcer. They take their turns at announcing and must be assistant announcers on the program before their scheduled appointments. Directors Each student director has charge of at least one or more programs. Their main work is to check timing, see that there are adequate “mikes”, that they are properly placed, and that each panel members voice was tested before going on the air. Science Club The Science Clnl is a haven for those students who wish to carry their experiments beyond the limited seope possible in the classroom. Meeting weekly under the supervision of Mr. I.overude, this group spends its time working on individual projects. Future Homemakers of America F. . A., Central's organization for Home Ec girls, has had a very profitable year. Among their many projects for the year was the making of a United Nations flag, all of which was sewn by the girls. They also enjoyed holiday parties and a number of worthwhile talks. Pep Club Boosting school spirit at athletic events is only one of the activities of the Pep Club. Prior to all games, the club, under their new advisor, Mr. Dorre, strives to raise school spirit by introducing new yells and presenting original skits.
