We have freedom of participation in sports, in any of Cen- tral's thirty-two varied organizations, and in school assemblies and dramatic productions. Each student is given the opportunity to dis- cover his abilities and interests and to develop them according to his desires Freedom from teacher supervision is in many cases combined with student responsibility for good conduct and for direction of group ctivnties Through observation of democratic principles in school, we x the better prepared for the adult world. Page 3 Page 4 ln grateful appreciation we dedicate the I949 Booster to M44 Stillman Miss Hazel Stillman, who retired from the faculty in mid-year, taugh English and speech. Although at one time adviser to the Junior Red Cross Council, her main interest was in dramatics. During her years at Central she served as adviser to Harlequins, and she directed senior class plays, all-school plays, assembly plays, the Memorial Day services, and the Christmas programs. Especially the last of these, always beautiful and impressive productions, will long be remembered by students and faculty. In grateful appreciation we dedicate the 1949 Booster to Mm .SAJQMJ Miss Elva B. Shields, Latin teacher, retired in June, 1948. Her extra-curricular activities were varied. She sponsored a Latin Club, supervised Latin contests, and last year directed a Latin radio pro- gram. She served at different times as adviser of Booster photog- raphy, senior class adviser, stage director, director of senior assembly, and sponsor of Yu Jin , a girI's friendship society. She directed the Victory Corps during the war, and she initiated the wearing of caps and gowns at commencement.

COFFMAN Q.v 'gJ-Q, Af,,.a91 wkjdjf Page 7 Page 8 Sufzeainlencfenl M Ballad Marshall G. Batho assumed his duties as superintendent of the La Crosse public schools on July l, l948. Mr. Batho was born in Maiden Rock, Wisconsin, attended River Falls State Teachers College, received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Wis- consin in l934, and has nearly completed work toward his doctorate. The new superintendent's experience in Wisconsin and Illinois in- cludes work in rural, grade, junior, and senior high schools. Previous to his six years as superintendent of the West Bend public schools, he was high school principal there. He also served as supervising principal at Lodi and Cumberland, Wisconsin. Mr. Batho succeeds Dr. R. W. Bardwell, who resigned to become director of vocational education at Madison, Wisconsin. In a message to the student body, Mr. Batho had this to say: That purpose should be substituted for coercion, wherever possible, is one ofthe fundamental tracts of modern education. Purpose gives reality and rneaningfulness to classroom work and is ono of most important incentives for good high school work. Through personal conferences between pupils and teachers, through faculty conferences relative to particular students, and through wide reading and regular classroom work, we are constantly trying to develop within the pupils an insight into how they can use their high school education to advantage. pafnapaz Q. 2. swf: 'ii When lVlr. Scott was asked for a statement of the democratic philosophy underlying life at Central, he kindly responded with the following: To be free is to conform to the will of the people. The motor- ist has the freedom of the road when he obeys traffic regulations. In sports, freedom of action is determined by the rules of the game. Social etiquette limits social action. Freedom in every phase of living is circumscribed by rules guaranteeing against infringement by the individual upon the rights of the group. ln Central there is freedom in the use of the corridors limited only by special safety demands for one way traffic and by the demands of common courtesy, Students are free to control the honor study hall as long as their conduct pat- tern equals that of any other study hall. Each student is free to choose his course of study and his electives within established limits. Should undesirable group conduct occur at or after athletic contests, at school dances, during school assemblies, or under any similar cir- cumstances, such conduct is called to the attention of the student body, and group responsibility for the behavior pattern is pointed out. Group response then becomes the restraining influence upon the conduct of all. So does democratic action based upon democratic responsibility and judgment become an outgrowth of freedom.

At the June commencement exer- cises in that year awards were offered to eighteen students. Twenty-five years later, in 1948, thirty-four awards were presented bringing the total membership up to five hun- dred. 1946, the leading year saw forty-four members in- itiated, while in 1935 mem- bership was offered to only fourteen, the smallest group ever admitted. Two anniver- saries of Circle offered occa- sions for special observance. A banquet for seventy-five was held in the cafeteria at Central in 1938 to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary. In June, 1948, a hundred alumni mem- bers and guests attended the twenty-fifth anniversary cele- bration and initiation cere- monies. initiates, brought into a huge candle-lighted circle in the gym, heard the reading of the ritual and saw the candle- lighting.

Though the general appearance has changed little, the paper is somewhat different every year, The present staff made several changes. Linoleum blocks were used for the artist's sketches instead of chalk blocks, the crackerbox was reinstated, the gossip column was cut down, stu- dents other than staff members wrote articles, a special April Fool's Day paper was published, and there was a special editorial by Supt. of Schools, Nl. G. Batho. Even with all these changes the l949 Hi Trib staff was one of the most economical since l925. ln addition to writing editorials, editor Jim Shaw has to make out assignments, plan the layout, and take care of many details. Because of the successful way the editor, under the direction of Miss Campbell, the new adviser, handled the affairs of the editor- ial staff, students always looked forward eagerly to the announcement Hi Tribs out to-day. Extra copies ten cents. The year's goal was to set a higher standard of publication and to give the student a more valuable paper. Because of num- erous difficulties Hi Tribs appeared at irregular intervals, rather than bi-weekly. 0M Une Paeu. Hi Trib editor, Jim Shaw, has a conference with a few off his most capable reporters.

Nine hundred and fifty students im- patiently await the bi-weekly issue of the Hi Trib and read it avidly. Copies of our newspaper are also read by former stu- dents anywhere from Cambridge, Massa- chusetts, to Lexington, Kentucky, to Missoula, Montana. The Board of Educa- tion, mayor, past and present teachers, advertisers, and libraries all receive the Hi Trib. Veterans may receive issues of the paper if they so request. Copies are also sent to schools that exchange papers with us. All this distribution is part of the job of The High Trib Business Staff. Many things are necessary to the success of the business part of a paper. The staff has all these. There must be advertisers to help support the newspaper. The articles must be typed, the paper must sell, it has to have a wide circulation, and many copies have to be mailed out. Un- der the guidance of their adviser, Miss Roche, the Hi Trib Business Staff carries out these duties. Heads of departments are Henry Ahrens, advertising, Joanne Tomalka and Carolyn Anderson, typing, Lorraine Ikert, assisted by Home Room IO8, sales, Ramon Cram, circulation, Carlene Krause, mailing preparation, and Delvin Williams, carrier of the news- papers to the post office.

Enthusiastic Harlequins enjoy a T comical and spirited monologue by Karl Gillmeister in Room 201. rqmicf rqppfaude Harlequins, boys' dramatic club, gave proof of its acting ability in The Red Lamp and in Best Foot Forward , both of which were produced in collaboration with Masquers. The Red Lamp , a com- edy put on in assembly, was enthusiastic- ally received by the students. Leading parts were taken by Tom Wheeler, Robert Krause, and Karl Gillmeister. Best Foot Forward , the annual spring play, was a paid performance. Harlequins renewed an old custom of keeping a scrapbook of articles on plays and on club activities. Emphasis of the club this year was upon better attendance and increas- ed membership at meetings on alternate Thursdays in Room 2Ol. These aims were accomplished under the able direction of the officers guided by their new adviser, Mr. Thomas. For the fall term officers were Donald Athnos, president, Charles Huber, vice-president, Jack Ramlo, sec- retary, and Russell Johnson, treasurer. Replacing them during the spring term were Charles Huber, Russell Johnson, Henry Ahrens, and Lee Rozelle. New members added to the roster were Bud Westerlund, Robert Krause, Karl Gill- meister, Robert Athnos, Roger Kraus, Arvid Sorenson, and Lee Rozelle.

Representa- tives, one from each home room, meet monthly to discuss problems that may come up, such as snowballing or the need for new lockers. Among the projects of the council for this year was the sponsor- ing of the Alumni Dance on December 22. Invitations were sent to Central graduates since l946. The S.T.C. sent delegates Gretchen Schubert, Barbara Larson, and Ruth Westerlund with Mr. Hetherington to the state convention in Wauwatosa in November. One of the ideas brought back by the delegates was the sending of Christmas greetings to faculty members. Another convention was held on April 2. Funds used to send the delegates were taken from the coun- cil's treasury. A new and popular idea for raising money was the selling of rib- bons in the school colors with the stu- dent's name and Central on them. These clever identification tags were worn on coat or jacket.

The Library Round Table is kept busy in Central's beautiful library. Each mem- ber spends certain periods every week and a Short time after school at library work. Shelving books, answering stu- dents' reference questions, shelf-reading, and checking books in and out make up the routine. The members also arrange the bulletin boards and prepare new books for circulation. The club has a social side in its annual Christmas party and in the party given for the graduat- ing seniors. Meetings take place every two weeks, on Wednesday. At the first meeting of a semester the old members Serve refreshments to the new, and at the following meeting the new members return the compliment. Students want- ing to join, sign up and are voted on by the club. During the last few years more masculine interest has been shown in the L.R.T. Of the twenty-five mem- bers this year, six belonged to the strong- er sex. The librarian is Miss Swenson. Mary Ellen Kilian, president, Donna Troy- anek, vice-president, Fred Zoerb, secre- tary, and Norene Pawlak, treasurer, were the officers during the first semester.

They also told of the background and platforms of the Repub- lican, Democratic, and Third Parties. Following the assembly, ballots were sent to every home room so that every student participated in the vote. When the bal- loting was done, home room teachers in- itialed the votes and sent them to Room lO2, where the S.T.C. counted them. Each home room had.one electoral vote. The results of the election correspond to the national outcome. At its meetings on every other Wednesday in Room 21 l, members of Forum plan varied activities to increase their knowledge of world af- fairs. The officers carried out that ob- jective. The first semester Duane Ras- mussen was president, Peter Hurtgen, vice-president, Gloria Capicotto, secre- tary, and Tom Hicke, treasurer. For the second term the officers were Betty Eilerts, Corinne Falke, Marcia Anderson, and Ruth Heintz. The adviser is Mr. C. Stokke. Top Row: H. Sillwrnmn, J. Govkc. D Rasmussen. P Hurtiren.

The program for the day may include a serious poem or a humorous story in dialect, but whatever the project, it is always inter- esting and educational, for the purpose of the club is to cultivate poise and skill in public speaking. Meetings are similar to an informal speech class. Officers with Rosemary Selmo, president the entire year, are Tom Wheeler, vice-president, Ruth Heintz, treasurer, and Marilyn Manning and Betty Jane Eilerts secre- taries, the first and second semesters re- spectively. The main project of the year, of fellow Falconer members, Zip Jfzaanl' a series of five radio broadcasts, was put on during Education Week over WKBH, WLCX, and WKTY. This group of fif- teen minute programs showed the prob- lems of education, gave facts on disease and on illiteracy in the nation. Club members taking part in the broadcasts were Ramon Cram, Rosemary Selmo, Joyce Goyke, Marilyn Manning, Tom Wheeler, Jean Hess, Ruth Heintz, Dick Wardenburg, Betty Eilerts, John Beek- man, Howard Silberman, Donald Melcher, Margaret Douglas, and Bob Eckdale.

Three special Care boxes were sent to a Berlin mother and her tubercular child. A letter of grati- tude written in English by the mother acknowledged the receipt of each box. Before Christmas thirty-two boxes were packed with small inexpensive gifts col- lected in home rooms. The boxes, dis- played in the main hall, were sent to cheer foreign Christmases, In March the Council packed a box of school supplies, sanitation needs, and sports equipment, to outfit a foreign school of forty chil- dren. Sent abroad also were two hundred miscellaneous articles, all necessities. The day of Red Cross Collections, Sun- day, lvlarch 6, found Central Council girls serving the block workers at the Voca- tional School. The March of Dimes cam- paign resulted in a collection of 514494. Dues of twenty-five cents per student supply the necessary funds for the Coun- cil.

As one of the Office Help passes the classroom door, one may think rather en- viously that all she has to do is to walk around the hall and to collect a few slips. That, however, is not the case. Besides collecting them, the office girls alpha- betize the slips and write up the absences for Miss Wiley and Mr. Hetherington. When in the hall, they are probably tak- ing messages to teachers or students. When in the office, they are usually ans- wering the telephone or assisting anyone who may come in. Studying is done in their spare time. Selected by Miss Wiley and Central's secretary, Mrs. llla Mae Heram, the girls who work in the office are chosen not only for a good scholastic record but also for courtesy and neat ap- pearance. Since two girls work in the office every period, the group consists of fourteen in all. Of these, ten are juniors, two, sophomores, and two sen- iors. This year for the first time, Miss Wiley and llla Mae met with the office force to explain the duties to them. Two highlights of the year were the parties given for the girls, one by Miss Wiley at her house on December l6, the other by llla Mae on February l2, after she and her husband were settled in their new apartment. lawn Zlze Jfalld.

Working on new sets is only one of the jobs that the stage crew learns to do. They run the switch board, adjust the lights, change the sets, and make themselves generally useful. Working in a group they learn to take orders from the stage manager as well as to face a situation on their own initiative. After midyear the crew took on two new members to replace graduates John Schoenberger and Don Mannstedt. New , members are put on probation for one semester. At the end of this period they receive full membership if they have proved themselves capable. They are then allowed to vote. When the Music Department put on its annual Variety Show in the Vocational School auditor- ium the stage crew helped by arranging the choir and orchestra stands for re- hearsal and for the final presentation, Previous to this the crew helped Miss Murley with the preparation and presen- tation of the Christmas play.

Whenever a movie or slide projector is in use, there is behind it a quiet and ef- ficient operator, one of a group of twenty-seven boys known as the Projec- tionists. Registered with Mr. Oines, the boys are available during their study halls to show films in the auditorium or in a class room. Duties also include the show- ing of movies at the Halloween party, at the Mothers' League Coffee, during the noon hour if the Social Committee has so arranged, and at any other odd hour that a movie may be Called for. On an aver- age three films per week are shown to classes. Taking care of the amplifying system is another duty, whether the loud speaker is being used at an assembly program or in the gym. Equipment han- dled by the boys includes two film pro- jectors, one 35mrn. strip film projector, two record players, one amplifier,'and the new Baloptician, which has been used in the science, home economics, and Ger- men class rooms.

Few miss the club meetings every second and fourth Monday in Room l8. Mem- bership in the club is limited to thirty- five. The minutes of the organization tell of a picture taking party at night complete with photo floods and flash bulbs, a spring field trip, and a picture developing party for which the club bought complete developing and print- ing equipment including an enlarger. During the winter months members de- voted tI'ieir time to night and indoor photography and to developing and print- ing pictures. The spring was occupied in taking outdoor scenic pictures. Such a wide program of events called for ener- getic and enthusiastic officers and an interested adviser behind them. The ad- viser is Mr. P. J. Oines. The first officers were George Kupferschmid, president, Edward Tanke, vice-president, Marilyn Standiford, secretary, and Ronald Nel- son, treasurer.

The Central branch, with an all time high this year of one hundred fifty-tour members, holds four meetings every month. Each first and third Thurs- day of the school month, the girls as- semble in Room 304. Twice a calendar month, meetings are held at the Y.W.C,A. in the evening. Dramatics and handicraft held the girls' attention this year, but any activity was undertaken if an instructor could be found. The Y- Teens participated in basketball, treasure hunts, hikes, folk-dancing, and swim- tests. To raise money, two sales of salt- water tafty were conducted in the main hall. Another project was the designing of special school stationery which, orna- mented by a Central cheer leader printed in red and black, was sold to the students. The autumn tag day helped to swell the treasury. All of the city's Y-Teens brought cheer to the hospitals and to the Old Folks' Home with the singing of Christmas carols. At the Christmas cele- bration at the Y.W.C.A., Central Y-Teens presented a colorful pageant. Part of the Yuletide gaiety was the Hanging of the Greens with donations made to re- construct Y.W.C.A.'s in war-torn coun- tries.

This year two tryouts were held to accommodate talented young musicians eagerly seeking admittance into the organization. In the fall ten were accepted and six in mid-year. This year Nocturne sought to establish new traditions, one of them being initiation. A serious ceremony on November 3rd followed by refreshments gave the new members a more cordial welcome than the older members had ever received. As a tribute to their ability for leadership Barbara Larson, president, and Betty Steinmetz, secretary-treasurer, received the majority of votes in the fall and again in the January elections. Vice- presidents were Nell Hetherington and Shirley Sayner. New in the history of Nocturne was the Christmas banquet in the Linker Hotel dining-room.

Anyone passing Room 156 during sixth period would know that another Orchestra rehearsal is under way. Under the direction of Alvin Mikelson, this group meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A large portion of the first semester was devoted to practicing for the Messiah , a presentation given jointly with the choir on December l9th. Also with the choir, the Orchestra par- ticipated in the concert given on April 27th, and in the all-city festival with Logan and Aquinas on May l8th. For itself, the Orchestra had a new experi- ence this year. lt and the orchestra from Logan took turns entertaining each other, playing first separately and then combin- ing to play in one large group. Always one Centralite and one Loganite sat to- gether at each stand to further promote the spirit of friendliness. Although these exchange concerts were not for public presentation, they provided a good time for all who participated. During the ses- sion held at Central, Mr, Italiano con- ducted the combined group, while Mr. Mikelson held the baton at the Logan concert. Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar and Handel's Largo were the marches played at both mid-year and June commencement. No officers were elected for the year.

The seventy-four mem- bers ofthe Concert Band included in their first public program of the year popular numbers such as Powerhouse and Juke Box , while Don Quixote and Orpheus Overture were an ex- ample of their more classical interests. Jack Ramlo and Richard LeBarron dis- played their skill on the clarinet in the popular tune Nola . For the march from the opera, Love for Three Oranges , Mr. Baker gave up his direct- ing stand to Miss June Phillips, di rector of brass and woodwinds in the city. The trumpet trio, Glenn Johnson, John Beek- man, and Roger Kraus, received much applause for their rendition of The High Flyers . Them Basses , a snappy march in which the basses had the melody, brought to a close the band's section of the Varieties. Aiding Mr. Baker were president, Roger Bay, vice-president, Jack Ramlo, secretary, Mary Scott. John Beekman, Glenn Johnson, Mary Scott, Jim Shaw, and Doris Meyer were the care-takers of the new uniforms. In the spring the band offered a second concert. On May l8th it took part in a city wide festival with Aquinas and Logan. Befaae Zine fjuilic The French horn section ofthe concert band carefully follows the notes during rehearsal.

Wnifaamd A gasp of pleasure swept the audience at the spring concert as band members appeared for the first time in their new uni- forms. Smartly tailored in red and black, these new outfits, the first in sixteen years, make our band a trim sight. During the gridiron season members appear equally trim and yet very comfortable in heavy red woolen shirts worn over the black uniform trousers. Red caps complete the outfit. New also are the red satin skirts and blouses, the black shakos and boots, worn by the baton twirlers. The girls appear at football games in red jackets and black slacks. Selection of style and color was made by Mr. Scott, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Mikelson. The purchase was made from Ostwald Uniforms, New York, at a cost of S6,200. A concert by the band and choir, the proceeds of the mag- azine sales, and individual donations helped to meet this expense. Kept safely in the school building, uniforms are checked out to band members before each wearing.

Practice for the football team started on August l8th, two weeks before the opening of school. This unusually early date was necessitated by the Central- Madison West game on September l8, three weeks before the customary schedule. Because of this advanced date, practice and the first game took place points in the loss column from Madison West, Campion, Winona, Aquinas, and West Allis. Central tied Logan l3-l3. Although losing the first battle, the Raiders showed much promise as they outfought the tough Madison West eleven. A head injury received by star guard, Mike Boland, early in the contest during almost unbearably intense heat. As did the baseball team, football play- ers also used the old Salzer Airport as their training ground. Although bol- stered by a much improved practice field, new uniforms, and the new school bus, the Red Raiders managed to finish with a record of only two wins, five losses, and a tie. The Red-Black dumped Eau Claire l9-l8 and Tomah 38-O but received hampered Central as he was lost for the season. ln defeating Eau Claire the Raid- ers relied upon air power, Swertfeger completing 9 out of i4 passes. ln the rough and tumble affair with the Knights from Campion the two teams battled on even terms the first half, but Campion pulled ahead in the fatal third stanza. A late rally by the Raiders, in which they scored twice in four minutes, fell short. CentraI's offense is temporarily smothered by Madison West. Page 96 Babe works out his Red Raiders of Solzer Field. Next, Winona outplayed the Red-Black, as the final score proved. In Central's first intra-city duel, the Raiders com- pletely outplayed and outfought the Blu- golds for three and one-half quarters, but relaxed .just long enough in the last six minutes for their opponents to push across two tallies and make the tell-tale extra point. The local eleven trounced the lowly Tomah aggregation tor its sec- ond win. ln the final intra-city game with Logan the Raiders again outcharged their opponents for most of the tilt only to al- Swertfeger and Allemond combine forces against Aquinas. low them to score in the closing minutes. The game was tied when the final gun went off, ln the season's finale West Allis's Nathan Hale trounced the Cen- tralites at West Allis. At post-season elections Al Love and Glen Allemand were elected honorary co-captains for the '48 season. Leon Miller was chosen cap- tain for the '49 season. Allemand, Love, Miller, and Solverson were picked for the all-city eleven.

Menwyaial Zzielcf After each of thirteen musical units and color guards had marched into its position in an impressive for mation, Mayor Beranek formally dedicated the field. 98 One of the last iobs during the many months of work on the new gridiron was the erection of the huge steel light towers which illuminate the field making it visible for many blocks. The result of the untiring efforts of sports minded citizens is the recreation center at the lnter-State Fair Grounds. On May l4th the Board of Public Works was authorized to sod the football field for i948 play. Under the administration of the Board of Education and at a cost of S30,000, the lighting and fencing of the football field, installation of portable bleachers, and other improvements were completed. An electric scoreboard was supplied by the Teachers College. A public address system was donated by the Jayceesp a flag pole and base by the Elks Club. II- lumination is afforded by light towers from SO to l2O feet high which focus on the field their l32 lights of l5OO watts each. Jaycees served as ushers throughout the season. Central manual training students made the 84 benches for the reserved sec- tions ofthe grandstand as well as the broad- casting booth. Dedication ceremonies were held on October l6th. Central's marching band had the privilege of playing an important part in the dedication ceremonies and with Aquinas led the other units into formation. Pog 6 : 1- Tog Row: J. Ruinlel, L. Millci, I..

Boasting the services of only one re- turning letterman, a fighting '48-'49 Raider basketball team found itself en- gaged in a season-long losing battle against inexperience. Although closing its season with a record of only six wins against fourteen setbacks, the smoothly working Raider point-making machine manufactured a new school record. Hit- ting at an average clip of 42.9 points per game, the Raiders amassed an all time high season total of 859 markers. A stunning upset victory over the mighty Logan Rangers, temporarily skyrocketing Central'5 aspirations for the city cham- pionship, was followed by three decisive intra-city defeats that dropped the Raid- ers with a thud on the cellar floor of the final city standings. The sparkplug of the Red and Black aggregation was the speedy downcourtman, Knute Schneider, the single returning veteran. Schneider paced the Central scoring parade with 226 points in nineteen games, averaging about l l.8 tallies per contest. Although displaying an aggressive brand of ball, Coach Mark Sutton's Raiders opened the season plagued by three definite weak- John Ramlet and a Sparta player iump for the ball. nesses-inexperience, lack of height, and a shortage of five regular starters. Some- what shabby floor play cost Central its initial game, as it succumbed to Richland Center by one point. After trouncing a hapless Sparta five, the only team to be beaten twice during the season by Cen- tral, the Raiders edged Minneapolis North in one of the most thrilling games played all year. ln their first intra-city clash, the Raiders became giant killers, knocking off the Logan Rangers, run- nersup in the state tournament, by a 44-35 count. Midyear graduation and the subsequent loss of Weigent, Cen- tral's ace guard and playmaker, combined to toss the Raiders into a disastrous tail- spin as they lost seven straight games. Throughout the season five teams, Aquinas, Viroqua, Eau Claire, Richland Center, and Winona posted double wins over the Raiders. After snapping their extended losing streak with a thrilling double overtime win over Superior Cen- tral, the Raiders entered tournament play where they lost to Logan after downing Viroqua in their opener.

Un Me Qaeen Central's clubbers finished the '48 sea- son with a fifty-fifty record winning four and losing a like number. In the initial contest the Red Raiders defeated Aquinas l2V2 to ZVZ but lost the next one to Winona 3 to 9. Logan then fell before Central l2 to O, but the Red and Black bowed to Eau Claire l V2 to lOV2. Winona again defeated Central this time 4V2 to 7, but the Raiders repeated their win over Aquinas by a score of 8V2 to 3V2. Eau Claire again defeated the Red and Black by ZVQ to 9V2 but Central took un- disputed possession of the city crown by licking Logan 9V2 to ZVZ. Coach Mark Sutton awarded letters to Captain P. Smith, R. Anderegg, D. Arneson, and P. Smaby. Smith slips in a sure shot on the green, Eaea llfze Nei' Once again dominating the local court scene, Central netmen swept all four intra- city matches to annex their third consec- utive city championship. Coach Butter- wick's crew gained additional laurels by capturing the Northwest Tournament. Pac- ed by Captain C. Weigent's victory in the number one singles, Raider netters garnered seventeen points, barely eking past the host Eau Claire courtsters, to clinch top tourna- ment honors. ln winning seven of their eleven meets, CentraI's racqueteers scored twin killings over Viroqua, Aquinas, and Logan but dropped twin bills to Eau Claire and Wi- nona. L C's went to C. Weigent, D. Minard, L. Miller, J. Schnell, and R. Keeler. Weigent and Minard team up on the same side of the net.

By April 25th, however, as this new field still lacked a clay surface, Hogan playground and Houska Park were used instead. Copeland Park became the scene of home tilts. Change of scene did not bring luck to the Raiders, who won only three games and lost six. Central, most ef- fective at home, won its three victories there. All season the strength of the Raiders lay in batting rather than in pitching. ln the intra- city duels Central finished last dropping one to Aquinas, 5-l, and two to Logan by respec- tive scores of l-4 and l-6. Nevertheless Cen- tral scored a 5-l upset over Aquinas, the city champs. lntra-city games were played in the afternoon because of the lighting problem.

Eadkeliafl Lfuckefdnalcltead The ever popular game of basketball yearly summons all girls interested in a sport requiring skill and fast thinking. This year the season started with several Wed- nesdays devoted to practice. Forgotten muscles were again put into use, and once more G.A.A. members got into the swing of things. As tournament time rolled around the girls formed teams with such descriptive names as Sureshots, Aces, Swishers, and Kilroys. Under the direction of Mrs. Bradford and Juanita Zakem, sport head, the eight teams fought for the cham- pionship. From then on the gym was filled with the swift action of forwards and guards and the swish of countless field goals every Wednesday night. Lack of spectators did not bother the girls, and they cheered each other on to victory. After the weaker teams were eliminated, the final game was played. The fast moving Kilroys emerged the victors over the Blazers, ll to 8. Top Row: R. Kilizm, M. Rick, A. Van Gorclen, N. Nelson, A, Stoll, .lanct l.-irscn. Secovll Row: A. Schultz, L, Van Zandt, G.

En- thusiastic members, who appeared in the gym after school on Wednesdays, organized their teams on the spot. Usually four teams played each week, their membership never twice the same. Since there was no Competition between regular teams, all played just for fun, Without a champion- ship team, the annual game with Logan was omitted. All games were arranged by the manager of soccer, Olive Sutton. A crucial moment in the Central-Logan game with Strike three! You're out! This ta- miliar cry started the softball teams off on a season of sprained fingers and strained muscles. Despite the mishaps, the girls of five softball teams played hard ball with a junior nine cocning out on top to cop the G. A. A. title. The final game, which this nine played with Logan, proved an exciting and evenly matched contest. Both teams played a heads-up ball game, Central topping the opponents in a 9 to 8 victory.

One night weekly, Central's mer- maids gather at the pool to dive and swim, learning to add speed and power to strokes already near perfect. To win the coveted Dolphin D is the height of every Dolphin's ambition. The owner of this D is rightfully proud, for she has earned it through hard work and staying power. Every fourth Monday a business meeting is held to discuss the next month's activities. Now and then a com- mittee plans a feed and is sure to have food-a-plenty for the hungry Dolphins. Semester try-outs provide the opportun- ity for joining the organization. A pros- pective member should be able to swim like a fish , for she is put through her paces. btrokes, dives, and endurance are tested, and only the best qualify for membership. lf a girl becomes a temp- orary member, she must try out again to remain a Dolphin.

Rlngquist, K, Brink, Edith Johnso The modern dance, tast becoming pop- ular with girls everywhere, has made its place at Central. Beginning with a hand- tul of girls under the leadership of Mrs. Livingston, Orchesis sprang into being last year. This dance group made its debut in the Musical Varieties, scored a hit, and continued to attract more and more girls. Each semester Orchesis holds a six weeks' training program for all who are interested in learning the modern dance. At the end of this period try-outs are held in which each prospective mem- ber gives an original dance and is ac- cepted or rejected by the members of the group. The officers elected last fall were Jeanneane Bey, president, Mary Lam- brecht, secretary, and Joyce Ringquist, treasurer. This year again the Musical Varieties provided a high spot for the semester's work, Mrs. Willers taking over the direction ot all dances. Dressed in pastel costumes one group did its inter- pretation of Deep Purple , while another group donned Indian garb to dance to the throbbing rhythm ot Pass that Peace Pipe . New to Orchesis was the vaude- ville act for Specialties Night. Through dance and song it revealed the love story ofa boy and girl who met While Stroll- ing through the Park One Day. .fecafut am!

Wearing the typical blue gym suits and sneakers, they met for one afternoon of hard practice and the re- learning of techniques: 'Divided into teams of eight, the girls competed for the championship under the supervision of Jackie Kling, sport head. The tour- nament that followed demanded team- work and know-how from the players in order to achieve victory. Helen Sandlass makes a winning at- Something new has been added to G.A.A.'s activities. Last spring a handful of girls, firmly convinced that track does not belong exclusively to the boys, went out on Hixon Field to do or die. For weeks the girls practiced for the various events, the best of each group being chosen to compete in the track meet. The different events included the stand- ing broad jump, hop-skip-and-jump, baseball throw, high jump, dodge-run, and basketball throw. tempt at the hop, skip, and iump.

Sala Spaald The question, Has everyone signed up? , rang through the gym on Wednesday nights after school during January and Feb- ruary. On these nights the activities of table tennis, badminton, shuffleboard, and swimming attracted many G.A.A. members. Because of the lack of organization, the girls played together as individuals not as teams or partners. Enthusiastic girls playing bad- minton hit the birdies from one end of the gym to the other while many batted ping pong balls back and forth on the bal- Cokes prove the center of attraction at the G.A.A, cony. The shuffling of disks for shuffle board drew the interest of a few. The pool attracted the majority of the girls. A few splashed around in the shallow water, but the majority worked on perfecting dives and strokes under the direction of Mrs. Brad- ford. ln order to receive credit, the mem- bers were required to participate in any sport for at least an hour. Interest in the four sports was less than usual, perhaps because of the lack of sufficient competi- tion. Combining fun and skill, badminton is ever popular picnic. with G.A.A. members.

Sunny skies added beauty to the always solemn service. Quietly and seri- ously the entire student body faced the Cass Street entrance at the initial bugle call. The invocation by the Reverend R, D. Vinter was followed by Onward, Ye Peo- ple sung by the choir. Earl Lamprech, a senior, delivered the traditional student address after which the choir sang America the Beautiful . For the second time two wreaths instead of one were placed beside our memorial markers. Jean Ross and .loan Burgchardt, carrying the wreaths, were pre- ceded by a color guard, consisting of four senior boys, and the L. C. Club as guard of honor. After the wreaths had been placed on the markers, James Stellick sounded Taps . The pledge of allegiance led by Earl Lamprech formed an appropriate con- clusion to the beautiful rite. Top: With solemnity befitting the ceremony, the color guard precedes the wreath bearers to the markers. Middle: L.C. boys lead the student body in the parade.

The eligible men were por- trayed by Howard Silberman, Jack Ramlo, Ramon Cram, Don Athnos, and Dwain Rasmussen. Directors were Miss Brody and Miss Brady. Song of Christmas A rapt audience heard the Swing Choir's presentation of Fred Waring's version of the ancient story. Dick Lar- son narrated. Jim Garvalia, Theo Renner, Karl Gillmeis- ter, and Marilyn Standiford sang the solos. l..aVonne Melby sang Lullaby for Christmas Eve during a tableau of the manger. Mr. Mikelson and Miss Murley directed. The Red Lamp Toby Whitlock, her suit- or, Tom Wheeler, and her brother, Bob Krause, met opposition from her aunt, Ann Stokke, in the Masquer- Harlequin assembly play. The maid, Pat Thoeny, and Karl Gillmeister, a tramp befriended by Bob, turned out to be long separated lovers. The use ot the red lamp as a signal resulted in amusing complications. qaegin For the second time under- graduates enjoyed the excite- ment of an S.T.C. election in the spring, while idle seniors looked on regrettully. Many colored diamond-shaped tags announced the four candidates for president, Duane Rasmus- sen, Dick Larson, Bob Marck, and Bill Fregin, the winner. Clever campaign managers and their committees spent many long hours before hday l8th planning assembly s t u n t s. Carole Bottcher and Betty Steinmetz upheld their loyalty to Dick Larson by playing a two piano dueti The Indian theme was used by Sue Ander- son and the Tank twins, sup- porters of Duane Rasmussen.

The queen, Kay Brink, was seated in a swing entwined with vines and flow- ers as King Roger Bay per- formed the crowning cere- mony. Announcing the court, as they entered through pic- turesque white picket gates, was Mr. Butterwick. Couples attending the Senior Prom held on January 8 danced to the smooth music of Charlie Russell's 0 r c h e s t r a. The theme, Loveland , furnished a background for the romantic birch bridge and heart-shaped throne on which Queen Car- clyn Baker received her crown from King Roger Whiting. A vote of the entire school made Toby Whitlock queen of the Alumni dance held December 22. The S.T.C. sent invitations to all who were graduated with- in the past three years. Pres- ent students also attended. As her escort Toby chose Paul Molzahn. The court officiated at the coronation. The multi-colored rainbow furnishes a theme for the Jr. Prom.

Square dancing is al- ways popular and especially with a band like Don Kaye's and a background of wagon wheels and straw. Dancers donned wide brimmed straw hats, peasant skirts, and patched jeans and appeared in pro- fusion at the Barn Dance held in December. Mr. Reuter act- ed as caller for the polkas, schottisches, and The Flying Dutchman , always a favorite with the crowd. Presented at the Variety Show held on Jan- uary l2 was music to suit every taste. The Concert Band performed during the first por- tion of the program while the Swing Band aided by Orchesis, Swing Choir, and soloists com- pleted the second half, Swing Shanty dances sponsored by the Recreation Department added a great deal to the social life at Central. Mr. Hanson supervised the dancing pro- gram which provided for a dance on alternate weekends. Cornshocks and black cats furnish a background for the weird shadows cast by the dancers at the Halloween party. Eight little Indians ac- companied by the Swing Band pra- vided entertainment during the Vari- ety Shaw. Grab your partner. It's the Barn Dance and there's a real country atmosphere. l85lD0tBwIt1 Paau! flaaeniii Our fathers and mothers came to school three times this year, During American Educa- tion Week in November as guests at Open House, they followed our daily programs, visiting our classrooms and meeting our teachers. Ten min- ute class periods left ample time at the end of the evening for refreshments and conversa- tion. Again in February our parents came. At the big gathering in the auditorium the Swing Choir entertained and Leigh Elder told of his re- cent experiences in Europe. At the annual coffee in March many of our mothers worked. Our fathers came to eat, to talk, and to show an interest in the current Mothers' League project, Our mothers met in the auditorium or the cafeteria on the third Friday of every month. interested in our work, they seek better acquaintance with the school. With the pro- ceeds of their annual coffee they further some school proj- ect. Last year it was the new band uniforms, this year the remodeling of the art depart- ment. Parents wonder around the halls at Open House as aimlessly as do their sons and daughters in the first days of their sophomore year. A typical square dance is per- formed for the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation by the Swing Choir. If counted up, what an impressive total would be mode by the number of calories consumed at the Coffee hot dog stand! 91,0-4fG5J'?,. l if? . f6-v-7-'3,.k1- f1J4 vQdQ'4A 'UL M' 3 52m,,...1,LJ. finer 'ams- 904!Z,',,,,eA0..,,.QlA-an'-1.If4-Jgrf ' an W' AWN lj 949ggw41w Siafj ' EDITORIAL STAFF ' Editor .............,..,...............
