These activities make up our school life which is J so prominent that it takes up most of our day, most of our fx, 2 ,B week, and most of our year. In the Fall, we race to school N' tk and are greeted by a feeling of anticipation - FALL . SPIRIT. The halls, dark and desolate all summer, are now L' I , V Y- brimming with excitement. As the drifting leaves trans- ,ELL ' J form into dancing snowflakes, winter sets in. With it an - , atmosphere of gaiety creeps in to vary the routine schedule. Xb As the green grass slants pushing its way up, each person A 8 is enveloped by spring, and we are pushing our way out to 2 leave the hall empty and lonely for another summer. 1 -ff- L! 1 J!! fi 1 6,13 vi C0 X X PJ f i, Ir' ' 1 'l.j, -' Y F VJ 1 r!f Z? up KK .,. 1 I My 1.

She influences the students before they oome to Central by visiting the grade schoolsg she influences them while they are at Central with personal and scholastic problems and activitiesg and she influences the future of the students with her aid and advice. Because of her influence on each and every student at Central, this book is dedicated to Miss Irma Freidrich. 5. ,QNXXX s -27 --qi X. xv-Q.. . P3 3 x 3-iw-rmg E w .

The teachers are busy setting up classroom proce- dures, the students fill out registration cards, the cooks begin making lunches, the administration makes up new sched- ules, and the custodians continue to keep the building in good condition. The students all rush out to buy books and other needed school supplies. Every night after school, the football team can be seen practicing at Houseman Field. This year Central had a pep rally before the Central-Creston football game for the first time, which was very successful. Also, the cross country season begins at this time, and every night the boys are running at Highland Park.

Romani, holds one of the most important and complicated posi- tions in the school. Any blame or praise that is connected with the school is indirectly referred to Mr. Romani: so therefore, he does his best to see that Central has a good reputation. ,He is the overseer of the educational program, and he also is the supervisor of the building activities. His specific duties are those of arranging class schedules, supervising inter-school projects and intra-scholastic activities. Mr. Romani also Dre- sides at the honor assemblies held in the spring. In addition, he has the responsibilitv of making and enforcing the rules and regulations of the school on which he has done an excellent iob. Serving as a co-ordinator among students, faculty, and representatives of the community he is verv influential. Mr. Henrv Ludwick Welmerink Mr. Ludwick assists the principal in dealing with student problems and in many ways with the technical points involved in carrying out business or special projects of student organi- zations. Other important jobs of Mr. Ludwick are thosex of being in charge of the building during Mr. Romani's absence and supervising other instructional programs. He also is in charge of scheduling all activities that take place in the building, such as dances and pot- luck suppers. Although Mr. Ludwick has much responsibility and is very busy, he does not let it interfere with his friendly nature. He is often seen visiting different classrooms and talking with a passing student in the hall, and if a person goes into his ollice, he does not leave without first having a friendly assistant principal to student chat. Miss riedrich A greatly appreciated person at Central is the student personnel advisor, Miss Friedrich. She spends most of her time counseling students with problems concerning jobs, four year plans, college choices, and scholarships. In the spring she tours the grade schools in the district to tell the future centralites about Central. Also, Miss Friedrich administers aptitude tests, and junior College entrance examination, Kuder tests, and other required tests. In addition, she gives much time throughout the year to make school projects and activities a success. Mrs. oodlock Mrs. WVoodlock, an important member of the personnel department, has the demanding and difficult job of han- dling the truancy cases. She keeps many of the truant cases in school by helping them solve the problems that keep them out of school. Because of her capability and effi- ciency, Mrs. lNoodlock has been very influential in the completion of a high school education by many students. Mrs. W'oodlock and Miss Friedrich are grateful for the aid given to them by Karen Ceton, who works in the after- noon, and Karen Thruber, who works in the morning, under the co-op program. Maintenance N. Callas, Head Engineer, B. Parmeter, T. Ferris. The maintenance crew is the first group of people in school as they must get it ready for the opening day. The staff is composed of the firemen, and engineer, and janitors. The main responsibilities are keeping the school clean and in good repair, taking care of the school yard, checking the lights, and heating the school. Without the constant care and work of the whole maintenance crews, the school would soon be at a loss because their responsibilities are such an important function of the school. Soon after school has started, Central's cafeteria is busy at noon with the majority of the students eating there. The staff has the responsibility of preparing the lunch meals, helping keep order in the lunch room, and cleaning up after the noon hour. Students help by working at the cash register and selling items. ln addition, the staff is often helpful to organizations who wish to use the cafeteria at night. Cooks C. Hoffman, E. Joldeisma, J. Haskins, E. Almy. eachers Mfhen students are just beginning to think of returning to school, the teach- ers, are already busy at work, making their classroom plans as it is their wish to help the student the best they can. The faculty is always willing to give their services to the students aside from instructing them in their regular lessons and classes. By sponsoring numerous academic clubs, the teachers have been able to give the students an opportunity to become better acquainted with the subjects they are taking. Such clubs are the Spanish and the Classical Clubs. In addition, the teachers supervise the Math and English Workshops for students who need assistance in these subjects. Being interested in the development of the per- sonality and character of the student, the teachers have given many hours to extra-curricular activities such as ath- letics, clubs, plays, social events, and publications. .The factulty is also active in other ways. This year, as in previous years, there was the Faculty-Varsity basketball game during the month of March. The men teachers, dressed up in their wife's clothing and put up a good match for the C-Club members. The spirited clown cheerleaders, composed of women faculty members, added much gaiety. The teach- ers are also kept busy by serving on city- wide committees, attending classes, and working with school connected organi- zations. A fall picnic opened the fun part of the year for the teachers. Be- fore the second semester, the teachers held a potluck luncheon. To top off the busy year, a luncheon was given in honor of the faculty members leaving Central. This year Central had a large facility .representation of officers in several school connected organizations - flj Grand Rapids Coaches Association: Patrick Barr, president: Dave Sharphorn, secre- tary: -jim Fox, treasurer: Russ Pos- thunius, Board of Directors.

During the First week the students hurry to school with great anticipation. The seventh graders are anxious to know what it is like at high school. They wonder what teachers they will have and what it will be like with several different teachers. They can be seen during the first week wandering about the hall, lost, and going to the wrong classrooms. The rest of the stu- dents go about the halls with a quick step to their walks, for they too are anxious to see who their teachers will be and what friends they will meet in their classrooms. The classrooms are often quite disorganized the first week as the teacher and students must all become ac- quainted with each other. Class rules and pro- cedures IIlllSt be set before the studens, and seat- ing charts lllllst be made out. Students keep the book stores brimming with sales during the first week as books, paper, notebooks, and other necessary supplies must be purchased. Central's own bookstore is especially busy as there is always a line before school, after school, and at noon. This bookstore is run by two students and supervised by Mr. Laham. Not only are the teachers and students getting their edu- cational policies organized but also extra-cur- ricular activities are started once again. The football and cross country coaches are thinking about their teams. Then too, the oflicers of various clubs are meeting about their projects for the year. The junior and senior classes are beginning to think of good candidates for their classes. The administrators are very busy at this time as they must put the school in running order. The hands behind the scenes are also affected during the First week. The cooks must begin to plan and fix noon hour lunches. The custodians must keep the building heated and are kept busy making repairs and keeping the building and grounds clean. lt is quite evident that all persons connected with the school are extremely busy the first week. ms .fn W 5 it -K 1 EVENTH RADE Entering high school in the fall was a completely new experience as the pupils met up with completely different and confusing environment. They must adjust themselves to these new, insecure surroundings and the idea of having five or six different teachers in several different classrooms instead of one teacher in one classroom. The subjects they take are different also, for they now have cooking, health, general shop, and sewing for the girls, which was not offered in grade school. They can also join the band or orchestra. The first few days of school are the most be- wildering as the seventh graders can be seen wandering on the wrong floor or going to the wrong classroom, but it doesn't seem quite so confusing with the help of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters. For the hrst two weeks of school, members of the Big Brother and Big Sister Club visit the seventh grade session rooms to give much appre' ciated and sought after advice and to answer any questions that the seventh graders may have about activities, clubs. or school life in general. Throughout the year, they slowly begin to become a part of Central as many of the students take advantage of the many opportunities offered. There are many clubs in which they can participate: junior Red Cross, junior High Student Council, -Iunior Y-Teens, and the Youth for Christ Club. Also, this year the Pep Club has divided and now has a junior High Pep Club. The seventh graders begin to meet new friends and become more confident as they join these clubs and attend the acti- vities provided forlthem. There are junior high dances, usually sponsored by the Agona Club or junior High Student Council. An important event for the seventh graders is the junior High Prom which is sponsored each spring by the Agona Club. It is a dressy dance featuring a band. Also the Big Brother and Big Sister Club encour- ages new friendships as it gives several parties during the year for the seventh grade, these students should have learned many lessons in responsibility, cooperation. cour- tesy, and self-confidence. Seventh grade parties sure are fun. Bamey Eric Nancy Richard Leonard Agnew Arnold Bahre Baughn Beandaley 4t D g 6 if . 'ta 'Q 3 ,xii a ' ..

Greater perfection in playing the game is always to be sought after, but all of this is the stalk which nourishes the real flower of the real process - fine sportsmanship. where this is not true athletic activities do not justify themselves. They cannot be neutral in the building of manhood and womanhoodg they must inevitably contribute either good or evil in the building of character. M.H.S.A.A.

Varsity Football The football team of l959 has completed its season and as we look back, we find they did not do too well. In the city league, we won two games - Creston and South. Although the season's results were not the best, the school spirit was overwhelming. The Central vs. Catholic game drew a huge crowd. With the retiring of our long stand- HOLD IT! ing football coach an old era has ended. Next year will be a new start with many promising underclassmen, and a new coach with new ideas and methods.

Bottom man on the totem pole Central High School and athletics can never be mentioned without bringing to mind the name, Chuck Irwin, Mr. Irwin has been at Central for twenty- two years and during that time has be- come an integral part of every sports event. One basketball game is the only event he has ever missed attending. At Central, Mr. Irwin has served as head football coach, baseball, basketball, and golf coach. In 1948, with Mr. Irwin's coaching, the baseball team won its only city title. Football is, however, his greatest love. He has enjoyed every team even though they weren't winning. He feels that his championship teams just received a little more assist from fate. During his years as football coach, he has turned out seven all-state players. Terry Barr, a player for the Detroit Lions, is the only boy who became a professional. Mr. Irwin said that his big- gest thrills came in l946, '47, and '48. This was the time Central beat Catholic three years in a row. The nights when he has trouble getting to sleep, Mr. Ir- win recalls some of the ironic experi- ences that have occurred. For example, there was the year that Central placed second in the city league with no losses and two ties. That was the same year Catholic took Hrst lace with one tie. Then too, in 1952, nion beat Central in the last two seconds. A pass thrown to a Central player who was in the end zone was fumbled. Later, it was dis- covered that the boy had a broken wrist. Mr. Irwin attended Union High School and Western Michigan College. He served as coach at Burton and as assistant coach at Junior College before coming to Central. Every Centralite is very glad that he came to Central, and no one will ever forget him and all he has done for the school.

The second team squad had a good urnout this year with many willing vorkers going out. The squad, com- Josed of those boys who, in Coach 3arr's mind, possessed the willingness o engage in this sport whole-heart- dly. After weeks of practice, during vhich the recruits gained from expe- ience and the teachings of their coach. l'he freshman football team had a ter- ific season this year by winning four games and losing one. Taking second :lace in the city was considered re- markably good because the competi- ion in the league this year was sup- bosed to be keen. The coach, Mr. .aPenna, worked hard with the boys 0 get them in shape and to keep them n shape. The freshman team is a start, he boys who are on the team must con- inue to work hard if they intend to go an in football in future years. Sports is not all athletics, a good academic rec- lrd is also required. The boys must be .ble to keep their grades up as well as Lttend practice every night, which puts , physical strain on the boys as well as . mental strain.

In the city league standings they came through in second place. ln the district meet our team finished fifth, and in the state meet, we finished eleventh, which is by Mr. Perrin who worked hard with the boys every day and also to our ace runner Chase Palmer who came through with the honor of being the best runner in the city.

Therefore, the athletic secretaries are an invaluable aid to the coaches of all sports at Central. For the second year, Jana Vedejs and llle Robeznieks have served as the ath- letic secretaries. Among the main tasks per- formed are the checking of the eligibility ol' athletes, issuing players' tickets, selling of tickets in school, making up of officials' con- tracts, and the making out of checks for pay- ing various bills. Another important job of the athletic secretaries is to prepare infor- mation for the athletic assemblies which in- cludes making the list for the awards. The efficiency of these assemblies is dependent on the organized planning and work of the athletic secretaries. The girls give much ol' their time to these jobs and certainly de- serve much credit. All these necessary tasks make them a very essential part of maintain- ing an organized sports program at Central. The faculty and coaches are very apprecia- tive of the work done by Jana and llze. 2 1 Yi!! E2 . w-a.,.sr Ilse Robeznieks Where shall I sit?

The Ram's Review staff keeps tab on all current events, opportuni- ties advantageous to the students, and top per- sonalities and achievements. All of these items help to promote student interest in Central and to inform the student boys of all current events. Through items such as the junior high VIP and junior high news, the Rams' Review helps make the junior high students a contributing part of the school. Again this year, the magazine - type publication ROTO was given once a month with the paper. Besides putting out a paper once a month, the participating staff members learn to co-operate with others, to combine various ideas successfully, and to become acquainted with the problems of leadership by holding positions of responsibility on the staff. Also, meeting the seventh hour daily, the students gain valuable experience which will be helpful in their careers. After making applications, the students are se- lected each year on the basis of leadership quali- ties and English marks. Miss Schriber is the ad- visor of this activity.

This year Pete McGrath and Mary Qualman reigned as king and queen. Serving on the queen's court were Nancy Vander Sloot, llze Stiens, Peg Noble, and Nvendy Littlefair. The members of the king's court were Tom Schell, jack Wolbrink, Vello Arrack, and LaVerne Kuiper. Mr. Romani crowned the king and queen at the pep assembly the preceding day of the Union-Central football game held on Thursday, October 22 where the royalty had a parade around Houseman Field in 1960 con, vertibles.

Consisting ol' Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, who meet every day, the Senior Band is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining organizations at Central High School. The purpose of the Senior Band is to arouse an interest in music and help promote school spirit which it does very well. The rousing charts and songs of the band can be heard at the football games and at all the pep assemblies during the year. The band helps the cheerleaders by adding pep, spirit, and rhythm to the cheers. The charming majorettes add a little decoration and spice to the band at parades and at the loot- ball games. The band also plays for many other assemblies, one of which was their own, and for the Annual Spring Concert which they present with the Senior Orchestra, The band also participates in numerous parades such as the Veterans' Day Parade, the Santa Claus Parade, and the Youth Day Parade. Participation in the band requires much time and outside responsibility lor the members. They are rewarded with much enjoyment and re- laxation, and they also learn how to co-operate as a group and to perform dirhcult tasks. Intermediate i Band Centra l's lnternlediate Band is composed of Junior High Stu- dents. The students usually join the Intermediate in the seventh grade, and many have had little or no training in the Held of music. The Intermediate Band gives at student an opportunity to learn to play a musical instru- ment and to co-operate as mem- bers ol' at group. This class which meets every day gives the stu- dent the necessary experience to join the Senior Band later ill he wishes. This group plays lor the junior high pep assemblies. I Q f lst row: S.

They meet every other noon to rehearse. The purpose of the Swing Band is to create better and more varied music for the students to enjoy. Although only in its first year, the Swing Band has been very active. They have played in two Pops Concerts, the Variety Show, and the Spring Concert. We are looking for a great future for this group. lst row: A. Marsh, D. Badrick, M. Shroufe, B. Anderson, B. Jorgenson, R. Bressler L. Burkett, N. Dupy. 2nd row: T. Gravelyn, B.

Composed of selected junior and Senior girls with a B average and a year's membership in G.A.A.g the Agona Club is the most oustanding girls' organi- zation at Central. The hilarious informal initiation at school is followed by a formal initiation tea at which the new members pledge to uphold high scholastic records, to attain leadership, and to maintain ex- cellent personal qualities. Business meet- ings are carried on during the monthly spreads which are held the first Tuesday of every month. The Agona Club also sponsors juniors High parties, give baskets of food to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and has several food sales at school. In addi- tion, the Agona Club is very active in the Honor Assembly held the last school day of the year. This club presents the Agona Cup to an outstanding Freshman girl who is then able to join the Agona Club in her Sophomore year. They also present a graduation member with a scholarship of S75 to junior College. ln addition, the Agona Club presents the Tri-Honor Cup, which is one of the most coveted honors, to a senior girl. q ta i W , I .vf ?e' .

They have already become acquainted with the school routine, clubs, and activities: and they have begun to spread out and meet other new friends. Although the social opportunities for the eighth graders are about the same as they were the preceding year, they are learning to work together and to form group activities. This year is a very important time for the eighth graders as it is the year when they are main-ly concerned with their future academic program: each must make his decision as to his four year plan of future studies for high school and choose a college course, a business course, or an industrial arts, or vocational course. The 8th graders have several aids to help them choose his program. First, they are given an aptitude test which tells them the subjects in which they have the highest ability. Second, they are given a tour of several types of classes in the commercial department to see what goes on during the class periods. Also. the fused program, fusion of English and social studies under one teacher, allows a two hour block in which interesting and educational activities can be carried on without interruption. In this way, the teachers can become better acquainted with the students' abilities and can give them more personal attention. Miss Friedrich also talks with the eighth graders and is willing to counsel anyone who desires extra help in deciding their future program. At this time they are looking forward to a wonderful ninth grade year, the first year when they will receive a classification as Freshmen fully prepared with a firm foundation. RADE fs Q, Q v.

Also, many club members find joy by making up baskets of food to give to the needy. This year The Night Is My Enemy, a murder mystery, was the name of the senior play which was a hit. Around this time of the year the debate team, under the direction of Mr. Vrug- gink, puts their preparation to work as they begin debates with other schools. Each year on November ll, Veteran's Day, Central holds a solemn and beauti- ful assembly in memory of those who served in World VVar II and in the Korean War. H . , .t , ,,,,,, ,,,,. ,M , .

This year the senior class presented The Night ls My Enemy on November 19, 20, and 21. After studying several books containing plays, the play-selection committee decided upon this three-act mystery. Although it was a change since a senior class at Central had never presented a mystery before, the play was especially successful. The story revolved around Roane Shepperly, a blind girl, and her change from a young girl into a woman. -ga-1 ' HF.. ik-tw 1 'W- fi P 1 -,uf 1 lv!

Although they receive very little recogni- tion, the stage crew is quite essential for all assemblies and stage productions. The boys who work back stage set up props and the sound equipment and see that the lighting is just right. They also pull the curtains on stage. The Senior Class very much appre- ciates Mr. Filingham, who supervises the stage crew, and his helpers for their assist- ance and many hours in connection with the Senior Play and Variety Show. For about three weeks before these productions, they can be seen helping the seniors prepare the stage almost every night. They help super- vise the painting and papering of the scenery, and they also help construct many needed items for the stage in these produc- tions. This service club, dedicated to the maintenance of good backstage direction, is essential for Central's assemblies and is appreciated by all groups in need of their service. The junior High grades at Central have their own ushers since they have their own assemblies. Although many of their assem- blies are combined, they have their own pep assembliesg and Honor Assembly in the Spring, and many others at which these Iunior High ushers are kept busy. Like the Senior High ushers, they organize and choose two of their members to be head ushers. They also hold food sales to raise money. This group of young leaders are chosen by their teachers with consideration of their scholarship, their leadership, and their personal qualities. These qualities make the position of a Junior High usher highly respected. This group is not only advantageous because of the elliciency it pro- duces, but it encourages many students to aim for high scholarship, leadership, and personal qualities.

A highly select group ol' Seniors is the Senior High Ushers. This group of top students is chosen in the spring ol their junior year. Alter lnuch consideration, Miss lfreidrich and the junior Class sponsors, Mr. King and Mr. Hain, select the ushers on the basis of their leadership activities, their at- titude, and their scholastic record. The first experience of ushering for this group is at the Numeral Day ceremony of the Seniors in the spring. They also usher at the Class Day and Class Night perlorlnances. They then resume their duties the following Fall lor the continuance of the year. They usher at pep asseinhlies, professional assemblies, and any other assembly that Central has. Also, they usher at the Senior play and the Variety Show. Senior Ushers HEAD USHERS - P. McGrath, V. Kuiper, lst row: K. Arnold, S. Ward, N. Forsythe, V. Kuiper, P. McGrath, P. Carlson, C. Bahre, B.

On November ll, the students and faculty at Central participated in the Veteran's Day Assembly, a traditional ceremony for honor- ing all who had a part in World War Il and the Korean War: those who served in the war, those who were injured, and those who gave their lives to preserve the freedom found in America. At this assembly the student body entered the auditorium, bearing in mind the reverence and sincerity with which the ro- grani is held each year. The national ant em was sung by the audience to open the meeting. Then our principal Mr. Romani introduced the speaker who presented ideas on our part in today's world. After the program, the princi- pal participates, flower bearers, choir, band members, and audience marched in a proces- sion outside to the front of the building where a ceremony of placing flowers before the monu- ment and the playing of Taps was held. Flower bearers for the program were Miss Mcyering and Mr. Miller, representing the faculty: Bonnie Thomas and Jack lvolbrink, representing Senior Highg and Judy Snyder and Matthew Koukios, representing Junior High. This assembly in which the faculty and stu- dent body pay tribute to those who served their country is one of the finest traditions observed at Central.

Also, the Senior Student Council sponsored the 5th annual Boy's Heaven, a twirp dance. This year the dance initiated our new gymnasium which was decorated in blue and white, with a large white Christmas tree with blue bulbs.

Once each week during the noon hour, the singing of hymns can be heard down the hall as the group meets. This active club has held some very interesting programs this year. Among some ol' the outstanding programs were special music' numbers and Elms and slides, and skits were given by members of the Club. They have also held some interesting and adapt- able panel diseussions. Other outstanding fea- tures ol' this club are the exchange programs with the Youth lor Christ Club in other eityk schools and outside speakers such as ministers and missionaries. In addition, this elub held a hay-ride as a sorial event. Central's Youth for Christ Club strives to impress its members with the necessity ol' religion in all phases of life. 1 ' Sitting: Vice-President, N. Ploegg President, j.

Library Club The Library Club consists of students from all grades who usually work one hour each day to help the librarians, Mrs. Brower and Miss Bibby. They aid and encourage other students to make proper use of the available material. They also help the librarians with such matters as checking and timing permits, checking out books, and checking over-due books. They are kept very busy keeping the book stacks in neat order. ln addition, they work and discuss with the librarians projects such as magazine covers, reading week, and the promotion of new books. The daily work and time contributed by the members of this service club are certainly a great asset and help in the education of stu- dents and teachers alike. Treasurer, P.

Central can be very proud ol' its debate team and ol the coach, Mr. Vruggink, as they have finished in the winner division for the past four years. Although the team did not place this year, it missed tieing for qualifying in the regionals by losing only one debate. The debate season was opened on September 26 when the debate team at- tended a High School Debate Clinic at Kala- mazoo. The team then met twice a week to prepare for the debates with other high schools. This year's challenging topic was: Resolved: That the Federal Government should substantially increase the regulation of labor unions.

Boys' Heaven B0y's Heaven is an important occasion which Barb and Sandy are getting ready for at AALEX BEAUTY SALON at 621 MICHIGAN, N.E. Each year the Central High Student Council sponsors their annual Boys' Heav- en dance. The novelty of this dance is that the girls are requested to pay. The boys especially enjoyed themselves this year as many of the girls provided the transporta- tion and also a scrumptious dinner after the dance. This year Boys' Heaven was held Saturday, December l9, from 9:00 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. The dance was especially attractive as it initiated Central's new mod- ern gymnasium. Being the beginning of Christmas vacation, Boy's Heaven was highlighted by the holiday theme. A gi- gantic white Christmas tree with blue bulbs was the center-piece on the floor. Bordering the Hoor were several card tables with fes- tive center pieces made of decorated candles and angel hair. In addition, blue and white paper clouds with the names ot' the couples attending were hung from the ceiling to add to the Boy's Heaven atmosphere. Christmas Assembly Christmas Vacation Christmas time is the beautiful season of the year when a new -joy and happiness descends on everyone. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as students scurry to school with cold red noses. Christmas carols are sung in the Spanish and Latin classes, and there is talk about the holiday parties and dances throughout the city. Clubs are busy preparing baskets of food to give to needy families. In the main hall is a Sock and Mitten Tree. Gift wrapped socks, mittens, and scarves are collected and put on the tree for children who otherwise wouldn't have any. The last few days are filled with activity. Many classes hold Christmas parties and the choir sings very beautiful and inspiring Christmas carols in the halls on the last day of school. The annual Christmas pro- gram is held the last hour of school before the students leave home for vacation. The program, a very sacred affair, was spon- sored by the Art, Music, and Science De- partments this year. A pantomime was given to show the true meaning of Christ- mas, and the orchestra presented several musical numbers. Eric YVendlanclt and Elaine Vanden Bout were narrators of the skit. This assembly acted as a very appropriate inspiration to begin Christ- mas vacation. -1 ANUARY Winter Sports Basketball Varsity 2nd Freshman Swimming Pep Club .l,unior Senior Cheerleaders Junior Senior Student Council .lunior Senior Exams January begins with the opening of winter sports. The Senior class held a toboggan party at Kent Country Club. Other organizations held ice skating and toboggan parties also.

Also, during this month after 3:30 basketballs can be heard bouncing in the gym while the cheer- leaders are practicing in the halls. The National Honor Society held its assem- bly this month when fourteen seniors were inducted into the group. Also, the C-Club added several members as they initiated the boys who earned their major letters in football. This month closes the semester with exams and much cramming. lst row J. Battle, H.

One representative is chosen from each junior high session room for every fifty students. The junior High Student Council does very well in fulfilling its purpose - to provide activities for the Junior High Students. It has sponsored several pep assemblies and dances for the junior High students throughout the year. To finance these activities, they have held several food sales. Also, this organization seems to super- vise many other organizations which look to the junior High Student Council for help. It sponsors the Junior High ushers and cheerleaders and also helped in the junior Red Cross membership drive, and helped to sell the school newspaper, The Rams' Re- view. In addition, it worked with the Senior High Student Council to sponsor the Sock and Mitten tree to collect socks and mittens for needy children in the community. Secretary, j.

Wirlhring, V. Arrak: The Senior High Student Council is the most powerful and important student organization. at Central. lt very well abides by its main purposes: to promote C0-0pCl'llt10ll, to en- courage morals, to sponsor social activities, and most important - to serve as a means of com- munication between the students and the ad- ministration. This year Central's Senior High Student Council has been exceptionally busy in many ways. As a service project for the com- munity, they took the responsibility of the Sock and Mitten Tree this year. This tree is set up in the main hall of Central each year at Christ- mas time to collect socks and mittens for needy children in the community. Most of the atten- tion of the Student Council was given to service to the school. This was evident through the is- suing of identification cards for school dances and the enforcement of the rules. They also set 1 up a food sale schedule for Central's various clubs, and they chartered the clubs in school. Then too, they were responsible for approving all posters which resulted in attractive posters in Central's halls. This year the Student Council undertook the hall monitor system and improved it considerably. They continued to acquaint the student-body with their council representatives by placing a photo and a write-up of a representa- tive of the week on the front bulletin board. ln addition, the Student Council came up with a new idea which was very successful - a pep rally before a football game. The two main social events of the Student Council were two senior high dances - the annual Homecoming dance, Autumn Skies, and the annual Boys' Heaven, a twirp dance. All of these activities show that the Senior High Student Council is one of the most important and active organizations at Central. B. johnson, j. Snyder, j. Woody, L. Sission, I. Bredikis Our junior High cheerleaders cheer Junior Cheerleaders Since Central has 'junior High sports, we also must have junior High cheerleaders. The pur- pose ol the junior High Cheerleaders is like that of the Senior High Cheerleaders - to encourage and promote school spirit. These peppy junior High Cheerleaders were chosen in much the same manner as those of the senior high. They not only lead cheers at nearly all of the junior high sports, including basketball, football, and track, but they also participate in the junior high assem- blies which they sometimes sponsor. They hold their business meeting during the noon hour. and these hard-working cheerleaders can be found practicing and polishing their routines each Monday and Thursday after school. This year, the Junior High Cheerleaders had the privilege of joining the Senior High Cheerleaders at several basketball games. The experience of being a cheerleader in the junior High makes a better cheerleading team for the future. The purpose of the Senior High Cheerleaders is to encourage and raise school spirit through their active program which consists of leading the cheers at all varsity football and basketball games and also sponsoring numerous pep assem- blies. They also hold several food sales. The cheer- leaders do much to improve the spirit and general attitude between the various city schools and schools we play out of town. Spreads with the cheerleaders of our opponent schools are held before the game. Central can be proud of its cheerleaders as they have been very active and spirited this year. They have gone to much trou- ble and effort to produce some very effectual and hilarious pep assemblies which were enjoyed by all. They have also been very unique by inventing many new and original cheers. During the basket- ball and football season, the girls can be heard every night practicing in the corridors. Each year, numerous girls from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades appear at the tryouts where two are selected from each grade.

Since there were so many spirit boosters in the Pep Club, they decided to split the group into two different organizations: the junior High Pep Club and the Senior High Pep Club. As a result meetings can be held more efficiently and more projects can be ac- complished. ln general. the junior High Pep Club works along with the Senior Pep Club and functions in the same way with the same purpose - to help boost school spirit. They participate in the pep assemblies for the junior high. They also help the Senior Pep Club make pos- ters to announce future sports events, and they help keep the All Sports Bul- letin Board up to date with the latest sports news concerning Central. In ad- dition, the junior High Pep Club set up basketball and track schedules on the blaekboards in the junior high session rooms. In the future, this club will grow and become more important. lst row: K. Rich, M. Knukios, M. Robenieks, J. Stewart, L. Morren, C. Stegenga. 2nd row: P. Landauer, S. Rybski, K. Rybski, E. Magone, J.

'l'he Pep Club acts as a director in the boosting ol' school spirit and enthusiasm. lt was responsible lor sponsoring vari- ous pep assemblies lor lootball and basketball games. Also, it regularly distributes posters throughout the school to tell ol' the coming sports events. Nlany colorlul posters deco- rated Central's walls this year which helped to boost up the general en- thusiasm for our teams. An espes cially attractive accomplislunent was the huge basketball in the lront hall. This served as a sched- ule lor our weekly basketball games. ln order to give support to our football and basketball teams when they are playing out ol' town, the Pep Club is responsible lor sponsoring busses lor the students. 'l'hey also kept the All Sports Bul- letin Board in the front hall up to date with the latest sports news concerning Central. Lx 'XX lst row: Treasurer, R. Wilsong Assistant Secretary, D.

Many boys and girls round Central were seen wearing pink and red carnations on Valentine's Day. This was the result of a money making project of the Senior Y-Teens. A new and entertaining type of assembly, the Pop's Concert, was presented by the In- termediate Band, the Senior Band, and the Swing Band under the direction of Mr. Becker. The students who attended this at the cost of fifteen cents seemed to enjoy it very much. A major attraction of this month was the presentation by the Art Department of the tapestry to be displayed behind the statue of Lincoln. K .

Being Sopho- mores means that they are no longer the leaders of the younger grades. At first it is difficult for the Sophomores to be a part of' the Senior high and join in the various clubs and activities. but there is a great advantage as there are many new opportunities opened for them. They have the choice of joining almost any of the senior high clubs such as the Girls Athletic Asso- ciation. Senior High Student Council. and Hi-Y. 'l'here are also clubs with direct educational interests such as the Spanish Club, Latin Club. and Ram jets. Also. the Sophomores may parti- cipate in the senior high activities such as the senior high assemblies. dances after games, and special senior high affairs such as the amuial homecoming dance. Furthermore, the boys. who are becoming quite sport eoncious. are now able to Ify out for the senior high sport teams. Al' though most of theiu participate in the second team squads. a few are qualified to make the varsity teams. 'l'here is also a greater variety of' sport activities which was not available in jun- ior high. For example. there is golf, tennis. and cross country. The Sophomores find that their responsibilities are becoming greater and their studies are becoming harder. They are learning to deal with different types of problems and to think more for themselves as they are nearing their senior year.

Wllotring The Junior Y-Teens, consisting of girls in the sev- enth, eighth, and ninth grades, is a very active club. Its purpose is to help the members grow as persons in friendship with others and in the knowledge of God. The junior Y-Teens, as is the Senior Y-Teens, is connected with the Y.W.C.A. and works very closely with it. The members faithfully attend the regular meeting held at the Y.YV.C.A. The year began with a formal initiation potluck which was held at the Y.W.C.A. As social events, the girls held a hayride and a Father and Daughter Banquet. A fudge sale was held at school in order to put a little extra money in the treasury. In addition, the junior Y-Teens had speakers come to their club meeting and talk to them about personal care which was an interesting and helpful experience for the girls. lst row: M. Huls, P.

Another main event of March is the Varietv Show sponsored bv the Senior Class. In Central Capers of 60 students from all grades were represented in various acts such as singing, skating and tumbling.

Wilson Junior Red Cross The Junior High Red Cross is quite similar to the Senior High Red Cross as they have the same purpose - to help create interna- tional understanding to help the less fortu- nate. The members are selected fby their ses- sion roomsj to serve for the entire year. The Junior High Red Cross fulfilled its purpose very well this year by its many activities. At the beginning of the year, they held an assembly for the junior high students to acquaint them with the purposes and objectives of the Junior Red Cross. For most of the year they worked on filling boxes with articles such as soap and wash cloths to send over seas. Another project was that of serving the ill people in the hos- pitals - the girls in the club sewed aprons for the hospitals while the boys collected stamps, books, and cords for the patients. To help finance these projects, the club held a fudge sale at school. lst row: S. Wallgren, S. Birdsall, B. Huizing, L. Blackie, B. VanAartsen, K. Krombeen, C. Stegenga, E. Bouwkamp, C. Burton, C.

The members strived to fulhll these purposes by serving others: their country, their community, and their school. Central High School's Junior Red Cross has truly upheld that purpose, to serve others, by the numerous projects it accomplished during this year. Several members wrote letters for the blind. They also put on a program for those hospitalized at Maple Grove Medical Facility and did some sewing for the women in the Blodgett home. They also contributed money to the Red Cross Organization and participated in the annual membership campaign ol' the Red Cross. ln addition, Central's Chapter ol' the Red Cross presented an assembly to show the purpose and accomplishments of the or- ganization and also members who had given several years of service to the Red Cross were honored at this assembly. These activities show that the youths of America are truly interested in this country and to help those who are less fortunate. Although Central High School is only a small part of the organization, it does, nevertheless, play an important and vital role. Treasurer, L. Kuiperg President, M.

The idea flourished and became successful as Central now has an active llourishing Chess Club. The pur- pose of this club is not only to play chess as a hobby, but the Chess Club is also to encourage and provide a useful recreation which challenges the mind and stimulates thinking. Although the club consists of all boys, membership is open to girls also. The club meets every Monday at noon in room 24 when, of course, plays chess. The club had several organized chess matches and tourna- ments competing with the Chess Clubs of Union and other schools. Central's Chess Club also held a newspaper drive this year to grow and expand in the future years at Central High School. lst row: S. Taylor, C. Muste, B. Wotring, L. Burr, B. Cavanaugh, F.

Arnoldg Treasurer, D. Fraryg Secretary, L. Blom. The purpose of The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion is to build good sportsmanship and citizen- ship qualities through sports. Belonging to G.A.A. helps a girl meet many new friends from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The girls meet every Tuesday after school from 3:30 to 4:30. There was a little difficulty in meeting the hrst part of the year since our new gym- nasium was being constructed. The members comprise six teams which compete against each other during the year in games such as volley- ball, softball, table-tennis, basketball. and bad- minton. As money making projects, the girls have food sales and sponsor the noon-hour dances. At the last Athletic Award Assembly of the year, the girls were given their awards which are a numeral of their graduating year for first year member, a small C for second year members, and for third year members, an All City Honor Pin which is quite cherished. The members of the team which accumulates the most points during the year's competition in sports receive a medal. lst row: I. Arins, M. Bowman, R. Kuiper, L. Stede, M. Millhoupt, A. Burton, J.

The March winds have blown away the cold weather and the snow which is replaced with balmy breezes and sunshine. The gym classes are now able to be outside and as one passes Central's playground, he sees a multitude of students playing softball. Houseman Field is again in use as the track team is busy running, hurdling, pole vaulting, and shot putting. Also, the baseball team practices swinging their bats at Hillcrest School while the tennis team spends much time swinging their rackets at Cherry Park. The Easter vacation in April is very encouraging to the epidemic of Spring fever. Mr. John Ham - junior Class Advisor x'ql Q fa fl X 'fl' t RW Vp ,, 4 ily, umons X r XYith two more years ol' high school, the eleventh grade marks a very eventlul year lor the juniors, For the first time this class becomes organized as they elect class ollicers to help organize its activities which bring the class closer together. This year the junior class held a potluck in the fall and in the spring. As money making projects, they sponsored two dances and held two paper drives. At Tllailksgiving and Christmas time, the juniors contributed baskets ol' lood to needy lamilies. One of the biggest events for the juniors was the day they received their long awaited class rings. Another big event was the .Iunior-Senior Prom which is co-sponsored each year by the .Iunior and Senior classes. 'I'hroughout the year, the sessions rooms ol' Mr. King and Mr. Ham made each ol' their projects more successful and they also had a good time as they competed against each other. Besides their own activities, the juniors were kept very busy in the other school activities, such as the variety show, Senior High Student Council, and senior high sports activities. The result of this -Iunior year is that they have become more mature and responsible to lace their future years. qw -2: Vg. A L- 1 , :nu -, , 5 -r. Gi st ' ' ' l ,. K . ip I xx . 5 1. gp! r A .

Varsity Track Mr. Posthumus the coach, has many veterans returning along with a large number of hrst year track men. This year's season hopes to find consistent point winners. The season did not start out well this year as the first game ol the season had to be postponed, because of Mich- igan weather, until April 20 which didn't seem to help Central as we still lost by only a half a point. This is only a start as the team has many promising underclassmen who will be back next year too.

Among them are Wolbrink at 2nd base, johnson at pitch, Kuiper at catch, Taylor cen- ter, Hieftje outfield, and Deyoung outfield. This list together with the new prospects went a long way in producing a team for Coach Fillingham and Vruggink.

A Cappella Choir Central High School's A Cappella Choir is an organization which makes a fine showing for itself and deserves much cerdit for its achievements. The A Cappella Choir gives a chance for much pleasure to students who enjoy singing. Though at times, the practice connected with excellence in this Field may he disagreeable. there is a feeling ol' perfection which is elaling ahove all else. Xllorking and prac- ticing with the choir is an experience in co-operation when a student must adjust to meet the needs and requirements ol' the group. lt is an opportunity to test his skill and improve upon it. Music releases the tension ol' lilie not only for the choir hut also for the listener. The choir not only accomplishes these pleasures and goals but it also creates a greater inter- est in the Held ol' music. The choir also has a new director this year, Mr. Schellenhurger. It presented many inspiring numbers at Central's two traditional sacred assemblies, the Veterans' Day Assembly and the Christmas Assembly. lt also participated in the Choral Festival, and the Spring Concert. The merry voices of the choir Christmas caroling in the halls is always appreciated and enjoyed. In addition to these activities, Central's choir has the honor of singing at different churches hy request and also appeared on television. lst row: P. Noble, M. Qualman, j. Martin, J. Heller, S.

Students in these groups receive much enjoy- ment from working on many differ- ent types of choral music in prepa- ration for membership in the First Choir. Many of them also gain knowledge in the fundamentals of music. The two Glee Clubs, being more or less informal groups, can relax and enjoy themselves by sing- ing for the pure pleasure of sing- ing and experimenting with a great variety ol music. However, the Girls' Glee Club had several sing- ing engagements. They sang at Central Night at Hillcrest School and several of Central's P.T.A. meetings. They also participated in the Annual Spring Concert spon- sored by the complete music de- partment. The bake sale con- ducted by the choir was helped by this group, too.

Orchestra The familiar strains of The Hike and Goddess of the Inland Seas remind us of the Work of the or- chestra which is one of the most varied of Central's musical organizations including many violins and Hsaxophonesf' Besides enjoyment, there are other pur- poses of the orchestra. Participation in the orchestra teaches the students to co-operate as a group, and to perform the exact tasks at the exact time. Orchestra may seem to be an easy subject to many, but it actu- ally differs from other academic subjects as it requires additional time and outside responsibility. The or- chestra is an important organization at Central and deserves much credit. It performs at IHOSt of Central's important annual assemblies and programs which in- clude the Christmas assembly, the National Honor Society induction ceremonies, and the Spring Honors Assembly. It is also heard at many of the P.T.A. meet- ings and at the Class Day and graduation exercises. In addition, the orchestra presents the Spring Concert as an annual project. lst row: D. Quint, B.

'l'he general purpose of the Big Brother and Big Sister Club is to promote the general welfare and relationships between the junior high student and the teacher and to act as a guiding force and example to younger students. The importance ol' the club has grown in recent years sinee there has been a greater inllux ol' seventh grade students to Central. The Big Brothers and Sisters are responsible lor conducting tours ol' the sixth graders when they visit Central on Class Day in the spring. The fol- lowing l'all the members of the Big Brother and Big Sister Club are assigned to the various seventh grade session rooms which they visit each morning the tirst lew weeks of school. Here they give advice and direc- tions to the seventh graders and answer any ques- tions that the seventh graders may have. During the year, the Big Brother and Big Sister Club holds sev- eral parties which are to encourage the seventh grad- ers to meet new friends and to feel more at home in Central. Also, as an annual project this club presents an award to honor an eighth grade boy who has shown the greatest improvement. The members olf this club must be willing to take the responsibility of helping and organizing the seventh grade students. Standing: Sponsor, Mrs. Hibbardg Vice-President, K. Smithq Treasurer, E.

Numeral Day Numeral Day is a tradi- tional event at Central. A spring day is picked each year on which the Senior Class un- veils its numeral, which is set in gold plate in the sidewalk alongside the numerals of the other classes. This year the Senior Class of 60 held the Numeral Day assembly on May 3. After a speech by Elaine Vanden Bout and the class song which was sung by the entire Senior Class, the highest ranking girl, Jana Vede's, and the highest rank- ing boy, Donald ieftje, un- veiled the numeral 60. UNE Seniors Graduation School Ending june not only ends a school year for the seniors, but it also is the time when the seniors must go out and meet the world, whether in college or in business. Those last days, of school brimming with activity, seem to Hy by. There is senior work day when all seniors are excused from school for a day, to earn money toward the memorial which is given to the school each year by the senior class. The exam cramming and annual signing time come closer to the last day ol' school when the Honor As- sembly is held. After the big night of graduation, the school is closed for an- other year and is wrapped in silence with only memories of another completed year lingering about the halls.

Schell, President, j. Wolbrink. After twelve years of school, the Seniors have reached the peak of their education experiences. The Seniors began the bustling year in the confusion-lilled auditorium as the session room. As usual there were locker doors slamming, bells ringing, and students racing for tardy excuses. This was an excep- tionally fine year for Central's Senior Class. The annual Homecoming Dance was the first major project of the year with the dioosing of the king and the queen. Next on the list was the Senior Play, The Night Is My Enemy, the first mystery play that was given at Central which was a line success with good acting. Then it was Christmas with the annual Christmas Assembly beginning a vacation. Also, Boys' Heaven, a twirp dance, was attended by many seniors in December. After the tedious semester exams, a new semester was begun. Another important undertaking, the Variety Show was also a smash hit. This year Central Capers of 60 had a great variety of thirty-seven acts including many senior person- alities. Throughout the year the various potludcs held in the cafeteria provided good times for all. Equally important were the morning colfees. The Junior-Senior Prom held in May marked the begin- ning of a busy time. june ended a flourishing year with Numeral Day, Class Day, and Graduation. Completed also was a year of success, leadership, learning, and fun. All of this experience climaxed by the receiving of a diploma, marking the beginning of an unknown future.

Class Colors Dark Green and White Class Motto Today's rungs of knowledge build tomorrow's ladder of success. Class Song words and music by Eric Wendlandt Friendship is forever not for just a day. But if our paths should cross again as we go on our way - Say hello with a smile before you pass me by remembering all those happy hours we shared at Central High. Every memory is a treasure that money cannot buy so save a few for the friends you knew at Dear old Central High Class Poem by Trim Bissell Far, far back from the place where dreams are born, From the time when we first lifted our heads To say, We are here: we have come, Stretching back from these beginnings In a slow procession down the aisle of time, We come here to mark our progress. In ourselves we feel now the pride of the present Coupled with promises of the near and distant future: What generation past has not sung this songg Which generations yet unborn will cease To sing it? This is the eternal theme, Testifying to man's unbounded greatness. Before us, all our tomorrows will be living prayers For the coming of age of the human race, For the epoch when All men shall be called Brotherg When all women shall be known only as Sisterg When there shall be only one child in all the universe, and that child's name will be Hope. , I 'vi' . . , 6 W ,A'w'. .
