Sue Gapp led the players onto the field to warm up for the big game. You looked excited, Sue. The seniors must ha 'e been planning to win. Tradition Broken Juniors and seniors experienced many tense moments through- out the Powder Puff game. Shelley Walker and Jean Leif, Roncalli Junior, look as if they were experiencing one of those tense moments.. The seniors must actually have been gaining some yards. 18 Some of the offensive players liked to talk over some plays while the defense was out on the field. Joy Schlagel, Ann Kurth, and Shelley Walker were discussing something when Charlotte Fischer, Roncalli junior, joined them. Girls, what was it you were talking about? After the seniors' loss in the Powder Puff game, the girls were quite disappointed. Just look at the long faces on Jean Trefz Lee Ann Rott, Carol Kiefer, Mary Kay Wollman, Melinda dea- con, Sheila Weismantel, Julie Torrence and June Podoll. In Powder Puff Several weeks before the Powder Puff game, moans and groans could be heard arising from the ranks of junior and senior girls out for this annual event. During the many hours of practice before the game, the girls learned the basics and many of the rules of football. History will show that in 1972 the traditional long line of senior victories was broken by the juniors who went ahead to a score of 26-20 after the game went into an extra quarter. While the girls were out playing football, the cheerleading was left up to the boys. However most of the boys failed to appear. Only two junior boys showed up, and the seniors didn’t have any cheer- leaders at all.

Pageant Morn Highlights Change During the homecoming assembly, Ann Kurth found that cheer leading is a very uplifting” experience. Sophomores faced up to their initiation with a little help from the guiding hands of upperclassmen. Student Senate Builds Float To build a float for Central's royalty and attend- ants, Student Senate members along with a few other students and teachers met at McFarland Supply Co. Inc. After plenty of time, hard work, and fun, the float was completed. Using the theme “Fantasy World”, the students and teachers composed an origi- nal and creative float For the second time since World War II the trad- itional parade was left out of the day’s schedule, and for the first time in Central’s history a rock con- cert was put in its place. “Chateaux,” a professional group, was hired by Student Senate for the concert. Following the concert was the pep assembly. After singing the school song and yelling new cheers, some senior members of the football squad drama- tized some of their favorite television ads using props that varied from girdles to bananas. Highlighting the assembly was the initiation of cheerleaders, with a little help from some of the foot- ball players. Ann Kurth found herself up in the air, while Pam DeForrest and Sandy Fredrickson learned a few wrestling holds. Another new addition to this year’s pep assembly was sophomore initiation. Three sopho- more boys, Mike Theis, Don Sandmeier, and Steve Schaunaman were carried up on stage by football players and got their share of the pie. Another homecoming was brought to an end with a dance held in the Civic Arena immediately following the Pageant Day football game. Couples danced to the music provided by the group Wonder- band. Dress-up clothing was required for the dance, adding to the special quality of Homecoming 1972. A lot of hard work and napkins were put together to make the Student Senate float.

Tables Turn on Sadie Hawkin's Day Lee Ann Swenson and Tom Rathbun flash big Sadie smites! Again, Sadie Hawkins brought girls one step closer to Women’s Liberation. Girls had a chance to take out their favorite guy, on Saturday, November 4. Girls were looking for light-weights rather than heavy-weights, on account of admission being a penny per pound for guys. Couples were dressed in “old grubbies” and danced to music provided by “Gravel Road.” Participation in the traditional hog-calling con- test consisted of three contestants, Bill Hayes was chosen outstanding hog-caller and was given a plastic pig. Kurt Lovrien and Debbie deDianous take a break.
