h Blue and Gold Adds Color An assembly started off the Color Day 1974 celebration. The students, decked in their blue and gold clothes, gathered in the arena to start the day. The assembly included cheers, chants, initiation of new Drill Team officers, a march from the Drill team, skits, and. of course, the yelling contest. Shirley Mork, Amy Holmes. Lois Flagstad and Mary Driscoll were initiated into their newly elected Drill Team offices by the juniors on the Eagle basketball squad. Lois and Mary competed in a pudding eating contest without spoons, and Amy and Shirley had marshmallows shot off their noses with squirt guns. Senior Dann Sandvig predicted happenings of the future in his skit by showing various sports participants and students as starring in television shows or as singing artists. This year the seniors won the yelling contest, their noise just loud enough to overpower the juniors and the sophomores. That night the Eagles took on the tough Yankton squad. The Bucks wiped out the Eagles with a score of 86-52. Color Day was concluded with a dance held in the arena with Argus furnishing the music. 29

Winning the sectional tournament certainly canie as a sur- Then they outdid themselves against Huron and the rest of prise to anyone who followed the CHS Eagles closely, but perhaps the team followed suit. Lee Weishaar of the American-News said it best: The Eagles set out to prove they were better and prove it Going into the sectionals even the most loyal CHS fan wouldn't go too far out on a limb for the Eagles . . . After all, the Eagles had lost twice to Huron and once to Roncalli during the season. The Eagles' first round victory over Redficld didn't surprise many folks. The Pheasants had finished in about the same spot in the NEC that the Eagles got in the ESD and most folks rated the game a toss-up. with a slight edge to the Aberdeen team.

Many fans missed the game as only part of the Civic Arena was filled, but sonic saw it on live television, a first for a Section 4 tourney. But take my word for it. if you weren’t there in person you didn't see the game. All the words I could write here and all the video pictures and audio waves can’t accurately describe the atmosphere in the arena when it became more and more obvious that Central was going to pull it off... that teams with seven- foot centers can be defeated by good basic basketball and a whole lot of hustle.
