' Unfortunately peace as an actuality is more difficult to define and even harder to obtain. Like a kaleidoscope, peace is many faceted — with the pictures changing at the slightest movement. Today the world is faced with various peace problems. Some are national; some local; and some are of a school nature. As Greeks and Turks fire upon each other in Cyprus, negroes and whites are doing the same thing right here in the U.S. We, the citizens and future leaders of our nation, must meet problems in Cuba, South America, the U.S.S.R., and recenriy in Red China. Yet, still we fight for the rights of our citizens. Peace can be realized only wherever men are willing to work and struggle together instead of against one another. Peace is idealistic; yet it must be obtained — sometime, somewhere, somehow — for not only today ' s generation, but tomorrow ' s and future tomorrows as well. To be an idealist promotes growth in mind and action, a necessity for finding world tran- quility. Seeking peace and hoping for its realization, the staff of the 1964 Helios Annual dedicates this book to the prospect of peace for all mankind. Because we believe thai living and working together peacefully is a reality here at Central, we show a representative group of studen ts raising the flag, as a symbol of our unity. They are Ruth Ann Booker, Noncy Hogerman, Larry Scudder, Tony Saenz, Esther Ryu, and Rita DeBruin. 1 Senior tracksler Ulyses Scrivens cleors a hurdle during a practice session at Houseman Field. Hurdles one hos to cleor during a trock practice are indeed small wtien compored to those one will hove to face in later life. However, it is the sense of sportsmanship, competition, and dedication one receives from track, as well as oil other othletics, which helps one clear one ' s personol hurdles. The holls of Central hove come to moon o great deal more thon passageways. They ore the common meeling grounds for students throughout the day as well OS before school. Also, the halls ore the display grounds for the trophies and momentos of the post and present. Nevertheless, the halls of Central will come to mean to something speciol only to those students who given Central their service ond devotion. Certoinly, the halls of Central show a fundamental but sentimentol port of school life. A simple picture o( students at worli bears a great deal of significance. Studying is, of course, the primary and ultimate purpose of a scfiool. In tfiis picture, cooperation witti ones fellow students is sfiown. This sort of coopera- tion is desirable among not only stu- dents, but teachers and students as well. Some students are viewed candidly dur- ing their music class. Apparently Itieir interest in tliis class runs a little deeper tlion a casual one. It is very true thot sucti classes as music provide a welcome reprieve for many students from ttie somewhat tiring academic ones. Music is certainly on integral port of school life at Central; one which helps to round out a student into a truly educated FACULTY (- . i mM ■ Mr. Romani outlines a new program for the commg school year. Principal Performs Kaleidoscopic Tasks The principal ' s job has kaleidoscopic facets. An im- portant job is the co-ordinating of teacher ' s activities and students into an efEective operating body. Mr. Romani has put forth concentrated effort into making Central the best school in the city. As the school en- larges, there seems little doubt the demands made upon the school principal will continue to increase in volume and complexity. There is no end in sight to the numer- ous possibilities of the high school principal. The 60 s will be an ever challenging battle. Nevertheless, the improvement of instruction is one of the more impor- tant, if not the most important, responsibility the prin- cipal must face. He must be constantly alert to seek out every possible method to improve the quality of teaching. Mr. Romani, when questioned on the position of a high school principal, stated that in any school as complex as Central where it is necessary to plan for six grades, the principal could easily become a time- marker. This he defined as an administrator who executes his duties assigned by the Board of Education, no more, no less. He takes charge of the existing pro- gram and operates according to policy — or — a prin- cipal can become a change-maker ; one who is more subtle, more creative. He must be a perceptive student of human nature and of the world about him ; receptive to new ideas suggested to him, spending many hours in study and thought, seeking inspiration. A new idea breathes or is suffocated because of that central figure, the principal. Creativity is encouraged and nourished and if. after consultation with his colleagues, a new idea is thought to have merit, it is given a trial Changes must take place! The degree of change in any school and the direction it takes depends upon leader- ship. A wise and strong principal will surround h self with a strong staff. Together they place high pri- ority on education exploration, searching continuously for ways to improve the program of instruction. Mr. Vruggink Completes Administrative Team The responsibility of the assistant principal lies primarily in the area of curriculum and instruction. In supervising the program of instruction, he plans audio- visual materials; encourages faculty study groups and in-service training; has individual con- ferences with teachers; orders and supervises the storage of instructional materials such as library books, maps, tests, and equipment; meets and orients sub- stitute and student teachers; and works with the principal in the making of schedules for, the assign- ment of, and the evaluation of teachers. The assistant principal also schedules all school-sponsored activities; helps develop curriculum materials on a city-wide basis and then applies them to Central; and assumes the duties of the principal when he is absent from the building. In order to keep up with the rapidly chang- ing needs in education he must attend conferences and conventions and study constantly. Mr. Vruggink feels that education is now. and will remain, in a changing, unstable state. Educators will need to be better informed, better prepared, and more flexible than at any time in our history. We must emphasize mathematical thinking and logical reasoning which will sohe the problems of the future. The same is true in the field of the sciences where changes in teaching methods are constant so that teachers can pre- pare their students for the space age. Because of the advent of jet travel, the world has become smaller so social studies are an absolute necessity to foster under- standing between the peoples of the earth. Mr. Vruggink continued, stating that this points up the fact that curriculum and instructional practices are changing fast. The time is past when a teacher can teach the same material in the same way for twenty- five or thirty years but must instead use the new methods such as team teaching, programmed instruc- tion, TV teaching, and a variety of other audio-visual devices. If we follow the trend, education will enter into an age of quality teaching in all areas of the school curriculum. Specialists Perform Personal Services peteni job in holding down the heod coun- Counselors, librarians, the school nurse, and speech teacher all render ser ' ices to Central that should be acknowledged. First, the counselors work with each student in the junior high in the planning of his pro- gram for his high school years. They also help students decide what vocation to pursue or what coDege to at- tend and courses to elect. Often, the counselors are influential in finding jobs or recommending students for after school jobs or ones related to the occupational training program. Next, the librarians run our school library efficiently and quietly. They secure reference materials, order fiction and non-fiction books and magazines, and check out books. They do the latter indirectly, however, through the students whom they instruct in library science. They also are available as reference sources to students and teachers, locate ma- terials, and instruct in the use of the many senices obtainable in the library system. The school nurse, who comes every Monday, helps students who ha e health problems and consults with those who are iU during the day. She also assists during the times when vac- cinations and booster shots are given to students in school. Finally, the speech teacher, who is specially trained for his work, comes to Central several times a week to help students who have speech problems or impediments. 14 Miss Schriber is of composing a good the instructing Jotian VanderToi in the teclinique Because good communication is so important in to- day ' s world, the English Department plays a vital role in the education of Central students. This department gives instruction in language, composition, speech, and literature. By studying our language, students learn the mechanics of writing, usage, spelling, and punctuation. Composition assignments give the students experience in expressing their thoughts on paper. Practice in the oral expression is gained from giving individual speeches and participation in panel discussions. In fact, this training is considered so important that courses in speech and debate are available to any student who wishes to study further in this area. The study of literature is stressed in order to give the student an opportunity to obser ' e and understand the actions, thoughts, ideals, motives, and ambitions of other people. The English Department, the core of the school program as communication is the center of life, strives to give the students necessary in- struction. One essential part of the English Department which must not be forgotten, is the English Workshop. This is a class to which students may come any sixth hour to receive assistance in written or oral work from the staff of student tutors available. English Studies Create Understanding Mrs. Wanderscheid, Mr. Borkema, Miss Raymer, and Miss De Young discuss the possibilities of a new English curriculum. Reversing Ihe regular procedure. Miss Cassidy, Mrs. Pulliam, Mi; Berg, and Mrs. Kemp try their hand at writing a theme. Languages Close Gap Between Cultures Central High School is proud to have a very fine foreign language department. Three courses are offered in this field in Latin, Spanish, and French. All three are two-year courses. Students study the origin, struc- ture, and usage of each language. While they are doing this, the students also learn about the cultures that use these languages. In addition, the life, history, and customs of the peoples th at have spoken and now speak these languages are scrutinized. Central ' s modern new language laboratory is used in these studies. All languages, but especially Spanish and French, which make use of the oral approach, are taught with the aid of this modern equipment. There is also a club for the student of each language. These clubs are designed to promote the spread of the language and the culture behind it. Such knowledge will help students to live successfully in our international world.

Students Learn To Appreciate Good Music Mr. Schellenberge score of music to be used by the ctioir Placing ttie emptiosis on ttie downbeat, Mr. Becicer, con ducts the Senior Band. Our music department offers something for everybody who is interested in music. Music, either vocal or in- strumental, is a required course in both the seventh and eighth grades. An extra-curricular activity spon- sored by the music department for junior high stu- dents is the Junior High Chorus. Later, students may join the Choir or either of the Glee Clubs which are run as organized classes. The instrumental section of the department provides opportunity for instruction in Beginning, Intermediate, and Senior Bands and Or- chestras. All of these groups ser e Central by per- forming during school activities and at special con- certs throughout the school year, thus bringing the enjoyment of good music to those who have no talent in this field.

This department deals solely with numbers and concepts and ways of working with them. Everything from the simple proc- esses or arithmetic to the complexities of solid geometry and trigonometry is meticulously explored. To suc- ceed in this area, a student must be able to deal rea- sonably with abstract concepts. He must also have the patience required to work for a long time on tedious and complex problems, which often seem pointless. All of mathematics, though, has a logical basis. The ele- mentary processes are taught in the seventh and eighth grades. In the ninth grade, advanced processes are taught in algebra. Plane geometry in the tenth grade covers the theories of figures in a plane. Taught in the eleventh grade are solid geometry and an advanced course in algebra. Still more modern and complex courses are a ailable for the senior year. During the course of these studies, many of the exotic parts of mathematics are also touched upon. Mathematics re- quires a great deal of work, insight, and patience. Math Presents Unknown Fields of Study Mrs. Joyce, Mr. Berends, Mrs. Preln, Mr. Toylo up the major part of the math department. Mr. Kinq rapidly defends hii questions. f against the onslaught of student Social Studies Mold Future Citizens The social studies department teaches students to play a useful role in the life of the community, nation and world. This department is first designed to create an active, intelligent, and self-reliant citizen who has developed a sense of patriotism for his country. In the process, the students gain a respect for our country ' s traditions, an appreciation for its accomplish- ments, and an understanding of the processes and techniques of our democratic form of government. A study of other forms of government and the opinions of others are also presented in order to instill in the students an understanding and tolerance for these things. On a more personal level, the students study the economic and social problems of their environment. In connection with this, social studies teach the pupils how to work together co-operativelv on common goals or problems, to enjov their social heritage, and to de- velop a moral standard by which to live. The students in this area also gain the abilities to use information and to logically solve problems. The social studies does all these things through its courses in geography, civics. American and world history, government, economics, faniilv living, and modern iiroblems. Part of an efficient social studies department are Mr. Hecker and Mrs. Harrigan. ■; ywv: • ' • 1 Capable leoctiers as well as coaches, Mr. Cleaveland and Mr. Posthumus are assets to Central High. Development of Young Bodies Their Goal Physicial education is a required course for all Junior High students. Two years of physical educa- tion is required of Senior High students for gradua- tion. The physical education program is designed to promote good general health habits, improve the stu- dents ' physical fitness, acquaint them with the basic rules of various games and activities, and provide an opportunity for them to acquire fundamental skills by participation. The broad aim is to develop inter- est in worthwhile leisure time activities and to make our students knowledgable enough to become better participants and spectators. Inter-school competition engaged in by the various teams throughout the school year provides the students with exciting events and the chance to develop good sportsmanship. Mr. Sharphorn and Mi the youth of Central Happiness Is a Quiet Study Hall The study halls of Central High are a rather unique part of the curriculum. Nothing is taught in them: yet students learn while in them. The purpose of the study hall is to provide a quiet place in which students can work and study. In a study Ijall. a pupil can do his homework, study his assignments, or hone up for any test he may have. If a student has no studying to do. which is not too often, he can quietly read a book, magazine, or newspaper. Study hall hours also provide time for students to make up tests and assignments or to work on extracurricular activities. The study halls occupv an important place in the school program. : exhausting position of study hail supervis Mortis, Mr. Lomokaski, and Mr. DeYoung. Special Instruction Develops Abilities Our school board, in carrying out its program of equal opportunity for all students, lias organized special education classes of various types to implement this principle. Classes membership in these is limited. This fact sets the stage for individualized instruction. At present there are three teachers who are working in the area of academic development. Whenever feasible, special education students attend regular shop and home economics classes, art and music classes, and regular academic classes and participate in varsity sports. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on the teaching of realistic self-evaluation and self-sup- porting work skills. These two important facets are an integral part of special education. A full time job, under the supervision of the city-wide job coordinator, is a requirement for graduation from the senior high program. of her sludenls.

AWING S f ir The aim of the Industrial Arts Department is to prepare students for both industrial and professional occupations. This is done through the presentation of information and skills related to various fields of work. One of the courses presented is industrial designing, which prepares a student to enter the professions as an architect or draftsman. Graphic arts courses are avail- able to anyone who is interested in the manv phases of the field of printing. For the student who is interested in working with wood, there are courses which will teach him the use of the many machines and tools used in this line of work. If, on the other hand, the student is interested in machines himself, he can gain first hand knowledge and experience from our excellent machine shop. Another of the many areas available for study is electronics. This field is important be- cause of the great need for trained technicians to build, install, and repair the multitude of electrical machine used for science, industry, and the home. Another class which prepares many boys for useful occupations is shoe repair. The department hopes that it has suc- ceeded in its purpose and wishes that all bovs would take one or more of these courses during one of their senior high years. 24 Mr. Miller ond Mr. Voyce used in the vocational Irai inspect one of the printing pn ning program. 25 Art Captivates Students ' Interests Perhaps one of the most misconstrued parts of our school is the Art Department. When most students think of art, they think only of sitting and drawing. However, much more than that is involved. Art actu- ally teaches a creative process which involves thinking and planning, solving problems, and making decisions. The student also learns to understand the rules and principles of painting so that he can truly express him- self. He is taught to appreciate the work of others, too, as well as his own. This art training begins in the junior high with two introductory courses and may be continued in the senior high with an intensive four- year course. After this, the student can possibly make art his career by majoring in art at college or going to an art school. Sheldon Williams and Sarah Rose blatt help Miss De Loof put up a d play of seventh grade art. Safety Stressed In Training Glasses to leave for the Though only a one semester, part-time subject, driver training is an important part of the school curriculum. Through a combination of classroom instruction and actual experience, a student learns how to properly handle an automobile in today ' s traffic. In the class- room, he learns the rules of the road and the laws which govern our streets and highways. The student gets to practice his new found skills on our city ' s well- equipped student driving range. How well he learned his lessons is shown when the student takes his final road test. If he is successful, he is eligible to obtain his driver ' s license. If he is not, well, back to the driving ranee. Mr. Beottie is caught Students P repare for Senior High The seventh and eighth grade fused program is organized on a basis unlike that of the other depart- ments at Central. Instead of having a different teacher for each class, students have the same teacher for two classes. Any information from other departments which may affect this area is channelled to it through the department head. The unique setup of this pro- gram enables it to pursue an extensive reading course in addition to its other classes. The students ' reading ability is tested and up graded in the seventh and further developed in the eighth grade. Two special education kits are used along with remedial reading classes to do this. This training prepares the students for senior high studies. Mrs. DeBoer, Mr. Jonaitis, Mrs. Alchinson, Mrs. Wingeier, and , _ Mr. Price discuss the particular problems of their department in - an after school conference. Mr. Burchell, M. Butler, and Mr. Schultz new earth science course. Science Department In keeping with today ? space age. students at Central High can receive a fine education in science. This educa- tion starts in the junior high when the students ' appetite for science is whetted liy courses in heahh and general science. These courses give a general background in the biological and physical aspects of the world in which we live. It the student desires more knowledge in this area, he can take courses in either or lioth of the two sections of senior high science. If the pupil is interested in what makes living things tick he can take biology and physiology. The first deals with all forms of life, while ihc latter specializes in the human body. Courses in chemistry and physics are a ailable for anyone who is interested in natural phenomenum. Matter and its com- position and reactions are the subject of chemistry. Physics, on the other hand, is concerned with the natural laws of the forces and energies which dominate our universe. Many fascinating experiments are formed in coimection with these science studies. Experiments serve to illustrate to the .students the principles which they have studied. Of course, only the best equipment is used in these investigations. The Science Department is one of ihe most modern deparlments in our school. Mr. McGovern, ptiysics instructor, ( experiment performed by Karl Ha Displaying o new pic Kieras and Mr. Grieg of equipmenf used in biology are Mr. Delves into Unknown Chemistry teacher and assembles apparatus fo ence department head, Mr. TenHov of numerous experiments. Teachers Groom Students ' Office Skills The Business Department seeks to provide opportun- ities for all young people to develop their general edu- cation and vocational preparation .for community livirrg. It does this through a wide variety of courses. The most popular course is typewriting hecause of its value for personal as well as business use. AH of the courses, however, are designed to prepare young people for the business world. For example, the prospective secretary would be interested in typewriting, bookkeep- ing, and shorthand or office practice. Also, students pursuing a career in retailing should study business math, typewriting, business law, and distributive ed- ucation. Qualified students may select on the job training correlated with the office practice and distrib- utive education courses. This training provides oppor- tunities for students to leam while they are earning money in local business establishments. Such courses prepare students for a life in today ' s business world. This training is beneficial to those who do not plan on going into business, too. by making them more able to handle their private affairs. Mr. VonDop assists a student with o proble bookkeeping. Mr. Kops, and Miss Myllyla display some of the equip- n the business department. FILING 30 teachers, Mrs. Sokolosky, Miss Sobrosky, and Mi Uggen, confer on the progress of their students. Students Develop Home Making Skills Mrs. Orlyk checki the homework of one of her students. The home economics department is designed to im- _ prove efficiency, understanding, and responsibilities in k present and future family life. This is done through a continuous series of instruction. All seventh grade boys B VI H and girls are required to take a general introductory 1 f7 B course in home living. This course includes working P ' 7 t with foods and getting adjusted to new situations and ttti M friends. An introductory course to the senior high W T courses is given to all girls in the eighth grade. If they are interested in continuing in this field, the girls ;,•■, may elect to take courses in either foods or clothing . ' . ' •...l-, in the ninth and tenth grades. The foods course ■■■.. ' ' teaches the students specialized skills used in foods ' . ' . ' . ' . ' ■•■ work plus the possibilities of employment in such ' .V jd , work. Clothing and tailoring techniques and an intro- H ' ' duction to family clothing are included in the clothing P r course. In the eleventh or twelfth grade, students can HP take personal regimen and home management. This |P course teaches self improvement and home decorating and studies the effective use of time, money, and energy. Community and school services connected with class work are involved in developing the homemaking skills. 31 Secretaries Contribute to Smooth Operation Irs.

Each day, Mrs. Keegstra prepares the lists of absences and excused absences, deals with tardiness, and keeps attendance records. Mrs. Mottashed handles the very persistent problem of tru- ancy in our school as well as in other area schools. Their ser ices are instrumental in keeping students in school to complete their education. Our efficient office staf? is Sharon Winters, Marttia Geeltioed, and AAorgarel Welmerinl . The alwavs friendly and helpful members of the office staff of Central execute the secretarial tasks which are needed to run the school at its peak performance. Their jobs include the keeping and filing of records of the students and doing paper work for the administration and counselors.

Students Appreciate Good Meals, Tidy School A school, like any efficient organization, must be kept in good condition in order to run smoothly. Our maintenance staff at Central has kept the building in excellent condition and performed numerous emer- gency repairs. This staff renders invaluable service by heating the school, delivering supplies to teachers, and maintaining Central ' s pleasant appearance. We owe the maintenance crew a great deal for helping us pre- sent a good image of Central. Pictured liere are the cafeteria staff memb Kelly, Ethel Joldersma, and Charlotte Hoffn The thought of one relatively small staff feeding hujidreds of starving students is amazing to most of us. Yet daily. Central ' s cafeteria staff does exactly this. These trained dieticians not only serve nourishing, well prepared meals, but also must meet specific budgets and comply with rigid time schedules. Their services even include running a snack bar and cleaning the lunchroom after the students leave. Our cafeteria staff enables the three lunch periods to run smoothly, efficiently, and pleasantly. 4? _„ iSf.

As graduation day draws near, A memory unwinds; Hand and hand we learned to tread The narrow paths of life. As friendship wove its pattern true, We shared our joy and strife. Enriched with knowledge, strength, and hope. We grope, we grasp, we climb ! As now begun, we must press on To reach those heights sublime. Courage from experience has sprung And made us free. Oh, Central, my youthful days were spent With thee!

They must adjust themselves to these new surroundings and the idea of having several teachers in several different rooms instead of one teacher in one classroom. The subjects to which these students are exposed reveal many new and various in- terests. These interests they can show through belong- ing to activities and organizations planned for 7th graders. All through this year the students are begin- ning an era of co-operation, self confidence, independ- ence, and responsibility.

They have already become acquainted with routine, other students, organizations, and opportunities. Through organizations like Junior Red Cross, Junior High .Stu- dent Council. Junior High Chorus. Intermediate Rand or Orchestra. Junior Y-Teens, and other groups, eighth graders acquire knowledge and the ability to get along with others which is necessary for the future leaders of our country. Also, during this year, the students must choose their courses for the following years. This is a new and very important step because they are charting the course of their future lives.

During the year they are the head of the junior high and are largely responsible for maintaining their gov- ernment body in the form of the Junior High Student Council. Promoting actiyities which are for the benefit of the freshmen and the junior high as a whole is a major activity. The two main organizations for the Freshmen are the Junior High Lsher? and Junior High Cheerleaders. Also during this year the freshmen are provided with study halls to relieve some to the tension of increased and more difficult courses. The freshmen are a fuUv co-ordinated part of Central.

This year, under their able leaders and their advisor Mr. Kieras, they have shown their abihty to handle responsibility and participate in senior high activities like Boys Heaven and Homecoming. This class was originally organized to get the class unified, enabling them to earn money for their junior and senior years. The class was a great success in the two years that it has been organ- ized. The boys, who are becoming sport conscious, are now able to try out for senior high sports teams. Along with their activities, their responsibilities become greater and their studies become harder. They are learning to deal with different types of problems and to think more for themselves as thev are nearing their senior year. Class officers; R. Helms, President; 5. Anderson, Vice Preside P.

After heing organized for one year, the mem- bers of the class have found good leaders, and they now feel their responsibilities even greater. Along with the officers, Mr. Hecker, advisor, supervises the planning of events but does not interfere, thus leaving the re- sponsibility up to the members of the class. These responsibilities included participation in the Student Council, senior high sports activities, the musical, and elping plan and coordinate work on Boys Heaven. Homecoming, and the Junior-Senior Prom. Highlight of the junior years is the arrival o fthe long awaited class rings and with this big event, eleventh graders legin to feel they are closer to graduation. As a result of this junior year, the members of the class become more mature and responsible students. 86 Ronald Borsl Don Boyer Suzetle Browr William Bruin Gail Brunetl Brenda Buck Lawrence Bukala Russ Butler Virginia Butler Tom Cage Bennie Carter Christine Cass Barbara Cassel Rictiard Chapmc Sandra Chilton Andrea Chronis Carol Clark Sharon Clemenc Donna Cone Nancy Corlelt Kothy Cox Susan Cramer Randy Crowfo Sandy Curtis Michael Danielski James Davis Robert Davis Bill Dawson Eileen Dean Richard DeBoer Laura DeBruyn Arnold Donins Martin Donker Willie Donker Rosemary Dowd aa onni Downing Phyllis Dudley Peg Duforl Judy Dunning Rita Ellis Mary Ellison t=; Chr Engebr.

King Rocky Rosema, Queen Mary Gravelyn, Kirl Drew, Jock Budnick, and Mary Dirkmoal, Autumn Leaves Creates Spirit This year ' s festivities of the 1963 Homecoming were again incorporated into a weekend, October 25 and 26. The 1963 Homecoming Court was presented to the students and faculty on Friday afternoon. Central High was represented by Homecoming Queen Mar) ' Gravelyn and her court, composed of Mary Dirkmaat, Ellen Drew, Ruth Jobse, and Judy Snyder. The Queen was escorted by the Homecoming King, Rocky Rosema, and his court which included Dick Gerritsen, Kirk Strong, Tim Celmins, and Jack Budnick. Mr. Romulus Romani then proceeded to ofGcially crown Queen Mary and present her with a dozen red roses. That same night. October 2.5, the Queen and her court were again pre- sented to the fans before the homecoming football game with Catholic Central at Houseman field. Satur- day night ' s traditional Homecoming dance was held in the school gym, which was gaily decorated with multi- colored trees, cornstalks, a beautiful fall mural, and a netlike ceiling to emphasize the effectiveness of the fall season. .Saturday night marked the climax of a beauti- ful and memorable weekend. presented to the audience llh her escort.

The audience was carried along waves of suspicion, hatred, and wonder at the colorful scenes before them. The setting of the play proved to emphasize an eerie and formidable mood. The Spiral Staircase opened with thunder and light- ning flashing through the windows of a moldy and musty parlor room. The theme revealed itself in the winding staircase which was located in the center of the stage. To the left of this action spot, the audience was trans- planted into the gloomy bedroom of the fearful step- mother. To the end, the audience was held spellbound and was involuntarilv drawn into the intricate web of the murder plot.

' ' Three Coins Makes Big Splash This year ' s Boys ' Heaven Dance had an international air. The theme of Three Coins in the Fountain provided a most enjoyable setting. Decorations were centered around three bubbling fountains, surrounded by four pillars. The tables were placed in cafe style on risers circling the center fountain and dance floor. The Roman theme was also greatly accented by the color - rheme. Soft blues and silver were the main order of the i ' ening. The evening ' s music was provided by the ( ential High Swing Band, under the direction of Mr. Newton Becker. This year ' s dance was not preceded by a twirp week; ne erthelesf. there was a substantial in- terest taken in the dance liy the student body. Sponsored by the Senior High Student Council, the actual organi- zation of the dance involved a great number of people: sophomores mainly headed the decorations; the juniors were principally in charge of entertainment and other odds and ends; the .seniors headed the main organization of the dance. Through a unified student body effort, led i)y the Student Council, this year ' s dance proved to be a success. 100 The 63-64 year at Central produced a bountiful crop of interesting and colorful assemblies. The subjects covered by the assemblies varied from ' Homecoming to safety topics. Heading the list of the more solemn assemblies was that of Veteran ' s Day. In traditional fashion the Veteran ' s Day assembly was carried out in a very solemn manner to accent the deep meaning at tached to it. Another example of a more reverent as sembly was the Honor Society ' s formal initiation Further highlighting the assembly season in a some what more joyous fashion was the annual Christma; assembly. Various no el acts contributed to the lively air of the Pops Concert Assembly. Proving to be the apex of all assemblies was the visit of Astronaut Roger Chaffee, an alumnus of Central. Following a more educational format, the Student Forum assembly spon- sored by the Senior Student Council, proved to be a much needed information source to the student body. Also possessing an acedemic air were the numerous safety assemblies which informed the student body on various aspects of safety in water, driving, and many others. These assemblies along with others helped to make the 63-64 year at Central one which will remain in the memories of students, faculty and adminis- Assemblies Hi :hliL ht School Year ■: !• ii 1! ::i Si ' i;!

Captivates Central This year, the Senior Class, the Music Department, the home economics sewing classes, and many others teamed up to produce the broadway hit musical Okla- homa! instead of producing the usual Variety Show. The Musical turned out to be a tremendous success. Oklahoma! , the second musical to be attempted at Central, is possessed of a colorful western plot which includes everything from feuding cattlemen and farm- ers to haymow courtships. Although it was a fairly lengthy performance, the audience ' s attention was held throughout because of the witty dialogue and the beautiful musical numbers. The clever sets and the colorful costumes also added a realistic western flavor to the show. A great deal of hard work was done by all but probably none was so arduous or more greatly appreciated that that performed by Mr. Schellenberger. Mr. Becker, Miss DeYoung, Mrs. Roman. Mr. De- Young and Mr. Duquette. The ticket sales were han- dled by the Business Club, the costumes and properties by the senior class, and the back stage operations by the stage crew. Everyone connected with the pro- duction enjoyed thi work they did. Oklahoma! was a success in every way. 104 Prom Crowns Senior Year With the coming of spring, plans for the Junior- Senior Prom took top priority over other senior acti i- ties. A great deal of planning went into this social finale for seniors. Committees worked hard to find a suitable place and planned refreshments, decorations, entertainment, chaperons, and other last-minute details that set nerves on edge. For the hoys there was the question, Whom shall I take? and for the girls, I wonder who will ask me? For l)oth seniors and juniors the prom had a special meaning. To the seniors, it was the last social event of their high school life, and per- haps the last time they would see many of their school- mates. To the juniors, it was the last time they would meet their classmates socially until fall. To all of them, it was a once in a lifetime experience which they will never forget. by Bonnie Van Arlsi Central Seniors Move Toward Goal In the hoclic mom snl; before Ibc qroduolic mony, Genevo Turnipteed ii teen helping He Johnton on with her cop and gown. The senior class of 1964 moves toward the apex of its educational experience with mixed feelings. There is sorrow that high school years are almost past and happiness in the anticipation of exciting years to come. Graduation day itself is of short duration but it holds within itself happy memories, vain regrets and the pain of parting. The words I ' m glad it ' s over soon lose their potency when the final chords of the school song are played and the last diploma presented. To a student, his senior year is very special and graduation (lay is the crowning touch. To a few, graduation day cannot come quickly enough but to most it seems to arrive far too soon. Realizing that inevitably they must step out into the world and pick up its burdens, the seniors are grateful for the knowledge gained during the past years and intend to move forward to make today ' s dreams tomorrows realities. 106 The English Workshop, which is held every day during the sixth hour in room 214 under the capable direction of Miss Shirley Schriber, is a valuable aid to many Central High students who need extra help in the preparation of themes or in understanding gram- matical sentence structure. Outstanding English stu- dents act as tutors to those who are in need of help and are happy to give this hour to aid their fellow- students. The students who take advantage of this added instruction are amply rewarded by the improve- ment in the work they do for their teachers. The workshop is probably one of the most valuable serv- ices offered at Central. Miss Schriber is shown helping her students during the sixth hour English Workshop. Central Depends on Student Crews One of the least glamorous but most vital groups contributings to the efficient operation of Central is the stage crew. The jobs of this able group vary from adjusting the microphones for assemblies to handling the complete backstage operation for the senior play. Few realize the immense amount of work this group does in order to provide pleasant, smoothly running productions of all types for the student body. Further- more, their work does not end with auditorium or- ganization, but includes such tasks as providing ample lighting for dances held in the gym. Xo special qualifi- cations are demanded in order to become a part of the stage crew. Iiut the members must be able and willing to undertake the training necessary to the job.-. great deal of time is given !iy members of this group, and their service is a concrete example of true school spirit and if given without expectation of public recognition.

Senior Council Serves as Governing Body The Senior High Student Council is the most im- portant student organization in Central. The purpose of it is to organize and carry out the government of the student body. In the process of doing this, the .Student Council participates in many activities and projeds, and coordinates the activities of all clulis. The council ' s activities included a clean-up campaign, sponsorship of leadership clinics and safety assemblies. and the sending of delegates to the Regions 9 and lo Student Council Fall Ojnvention. As projects, the Slii dent Council started and contributed to the H.irolri Bolt Fund and the Coun.seling Fund . Tlie liorni- coming and Boys ' Heaven dances were also under the guidance of the Student Council. Another important project was to set up committees to study the problems of the students and faculty-student relations. Solutions to many of the problems have been suggested bv these committees. The Council is compo.sed of representatives from each homeroom, its elected officers, and various commitlec members. The Student Council, under the leadership of Mi . HolinCs and Mr. King, is a very alii.ilile body uliicb brings a sense of organization to the -cliool. 110 Student Council Officers PresicJent, Evans Kouliios; Vice President, Judy Snyder; Secretary, Ruth Jones; Treasurer, Bob Kopen.

Future Leaders Trained in Junior Student Council The co-ordinator of the junior high i-s the Student Council. Being a very active group the members were able to fulfill the primary- function of providing ac- tivities for the Junior High students and helping the .■school in any way possible. In the fall, they issued I. D. cards to all students; later in the year they spon- sored two mixers. The very successful student forum assembly provided a question and answer time for all students and further informed them of school affairs. Several sales were sponsored throughout the year to strengthen their treasury. This year proved to he very surccssful for the junior high group under the super- vision of Mr. Reagan, Mr. Ritsema. and Mr. VanDer- I aan.

Made up nf ninth and tenth graders the students are divided into two separate groups which unite to form a mixed chorus. To add to the spirit of Christmas, the chorus sang in a Jr. High Christmas Assembly as well as singing carols in the halls. The Spring Concert is an- other liig and exciting event for these singers as they work hard to prepare to gi e the best performance possible. Using this group as a stepping stone, many members continue to work on the development of their voices so as to join the senior choir when they reach the eligibility. The group is under the co-sponsorship of Mrs. Roman and Mr. Schellenberger. The Glee Club Glee Club Offers Training for Young Voices Row 1: . Godsby, M. Hobeko, S. Chambers, P. Bulls, D. Oole, M.

Helping Hand Club Spreads Fellowship The junior and senior high students of Eastern Ortho- peilic School are qualified for membership to the Help- ing Hand Clul). To provide fellowship and service, the group memlicrs pledge to extend to fellow members and to others the helping hand and, in doing so, extend the philosophy of helpfulness to mankind. As the main serv- iie project, the members worked hard to earn money to help the seniors for their class trip to the New York World s Fair. They also had a monthly project of giving aid to a .specific family. Working along with the National Association for the Physically Handicapped, many joint activities were carried on liy the meniliers. This year ' s group, under the guidance of Mrs. Sehlcr. also worked very closely with Central ' s Senior Student Council on various |)rojccls and roniniillecs.

A group of specially selected senior high students is always found scurrying about the school collecting tidbits and stories for Centrals newspaper, The Ram- pages. A six to eight page edition is put out monthly for all of the student body which gives information on school events, college opportunities, sports, fashions. and the students ' opinions. The junior high students also have a section devoted especially to them in which newsworthy items appear. The stafT of fourteen mem- bers also serves as a clearing house where the students may express their views on various topics. Included with each issue is a bonus, the Roto magazine, which has items pertaining to high school students through- out the country. The Rampages was very fortunate this year to have Miss Berg serve as its sponsor. News and Views Found in RAMPAGES Row 1: B. Veldhuis, K. Fliestra, A. Ronis, K. Hotop, E. Magone. Row 2: P. Zimmerman.

Senior Ushers Speed Assemblies In the spring of their junior year, a group of stu- dents is selected to serve as Senior Ushers. At this time, they serve at senior activities such as Class Nights. Numeral Day. and Graduation, so that they can become acquainted with their duties and learn to perform them in a very competent manner. During their senior year, the ushers continue to fulfill their duties at all assemblies, the Senior Play, and the musical. These students are selected by the teachers on the basis of leadership, citizenship, and their schol- astic record. To obtain funds for the treasury, the group, under the guidance of Miss Chapman, held various food .sales throughout the year. ad ushers, Jock Budnick and Dick Ge ment prccceding on assembly.

All junior and senior girls with at least a B scholastic average and one year of G.A.A. are eligihle for membership to Central ' s most outstanding girls ' organization, the Agona Cluli. The informal initiation held at school, when the girls are hilariously dressed, is followed by a formal initiation tea at which the members pledge to uphold high scholastic records, to attain leadership, and to maintain excellent personal qualities. On the first Tuesday of each month, spreads are held at school with the girls being responsible for the food. The Agona Club also makes Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, along with a Thanksgiving project, for the children at Mary Free lied hospital. They also sponsor several Jr. High Dances and have red and green carnation sales for Valentine ' s and St. Patrick ' s Days respectively. In addition to this, the organization presents awards: a scholarshij) to Junior College to a graduating member; the Tri Honor Cup, which is one of the most coveted honors, to a senior girl; and the Agona Cup to an outstanding freshman. All this is done at the spring Honors A.ssembly. The group was sponsored by Miss Kiter this year. Agona Strives to Uphold High Ideals Row 1: S. Hula, B. Ditmar, R. LeMier, K. Strong, P. Ceton, J.

Kruege Athletes For Service This year, a? in past years, the CClub has worked diligently to fulfill its purposes and live up to its tradi- tionally high standards. The purpose of this club is to bring all letter winners of every sort into a closer re- lationship by inviting them to take part in a grueling initiation at the end of each season. The main object of the club this year was to finance the transportation of a ram ' s head from Alaska to Central. This was done through the sponsorship of several dances and food sales. The beautiful mascot was encased in a glass trophy case and displayed in the main hall for all the school to ad- mire for many years to come. At Christmas time the members helped out two families through donations of food baskets. The basketball season was highlighted by the hilarious C-Club vs. Faculty game that has long been a tradition at Central. In the spring, the club hosted a dinner for all members and coaches and awarded a scho- arship to a deserving student to the college of his choice. These many activities, all carried out under the guidance of Mr. Cleaveland. show the importance and value of the club.

The members are students from the tenth through the twelfth grades who have at least a C average and who are majoring in business courses. In addition to taking dictation and typing for a small fee, the members undertook three major projects. They kept records of all ticket sales for the Senior play and the Musical, they participated in Toys for Tots at Christmas time, and sponsored a special project for hospitalized children at Easter. This year the club was under the capable leadership of Mrs. Stryker. Club Prepares Members for Commerce 122 Future Engineers Plan for Tomorrow The Junior Engineering Technical Society was formed to stimulate interest in engineering, science, and mathematics. This year sixteen senior high stu- dents comprise its membership. The society is open to anyone who has some proficiency in algebra, hav- ing had at least one semester with an average grade. and agrees to the regulations of the society. Each member must also indicate a sincere interest in the project that is undertaken each year. This year the group did the necessary research to plan the building of a rocket.

Coinciding with the opportunities of teaching, the club tries to cul- tivate the qualities needed to make a good teacher. The members aid junior high and grade school teachers in iiiiscellaneous activities about the class room. To give iho proposed new teachers added experience, the princi- |)als from Hiilcrest, Coit, and Fountain consented to permit students to participate in class activities during iheir study hall time. The club has also set up a point system whereby at the year ' s end, if this number of points exceeds a set standard, he or she will receive a merit pin. The Future Teachers Club has sponsored a senior high dance and has had various food sales. Mr. Barkema and Mrs. Kemp worked with the group in aug- menting the sludenls ' knowledge of teaching. 124 K.

Stimulating interest in the Latin language is one of the main goals of the members. This is accomplished by conducting the meetings in Latin. A prerequisite for entrance is at least one semester of Latin, which makes the mem- bers able to communicate in the language. Another important duty is to foster an appreciation for the cul- tural aspects of ancient Greek and Roman life. The main method of doing this is through discussion groups and speakers on these subjects. The children of Mary Free Bed Hospital also welcome the Junior Classical League members during their frequent isits as thev attempt to put added enjoyment into their li es by entertaining them and making notebooks for their use. The spirit of giving during the Christmas season was felt by these members as they contributeil to the Santa Claus Girls ' goal. The responsibility of advising this organization went to Miss Fennell. the S|ianish and Latin teacher. Vice President, Sue Anderson; President, Mike Crobb; Secretory, Sue 125 1st Row: M. Koukios, S.

Big Brothers and Sisters Show the Way A tlul) at Central that is greatly appreciated hy the seventh graders is the Big Brother-Big Sister Club. The main responsibility of the members is to orientate and aid the new students. In the spring, these juniors take the sixth graders on a tour of the building and the riassrooms. During the first few weeks of school in the fall, the last new-comers found it easy to distin- guish the members by the Big Brother-Big Sister tags that they wore. These new students could ask the mem- bers any questions which might arise as they become accustomed to the conditions at Central. The proceeds that came from their food sales were used to give a (lip ill ibc spring to the outstanding eighth grade boy at tlic .liiiiior High Honors A.ssembly. This service group is under the direction of Mrs. Atchinson, a seventh grade fused teacher.

Memhership to Y.F.C. is always open to everyone in the seventh through twelfth grades and all meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend. In these weekly meetings, a variety of pro- grams, such as panel discussions, special speakers, in- lluential films, and comical skits are presented to interest and inform all members. Because Y.F.C. strives to help students form a good character, including leadership qualities, it encourages all members to take |)art in the weekly programs and in the outside activi- ties of the club. These activities have included very profitable food sales, a car wash, a hayride, a Christ- mas carol sing, and a very successful potluck. In all these ways, the 1963-64 school year has been very successful for the Youth for Christ, and the students who are in Youth for Christ. This vear ' s group was under the leadership of Mr. Grieg.

Sr. Y- Teens Serve Usefully in Community A very active group at Central i? the Sr. -Teens. Working closely with the Grand Rapids Y.W.C.A.. the members strive to encourage Christian spirit, friend- ship, and service. This fall the girls collected food for a Thanksgiving basket to be given to a family in need. .At Christmas thev also made a basket along with having a demonstration for Christmas decora- tions. In conjunction with the Y.W.C..A.. they dressed dolls for the Santa Claus Girls and displayed them in the ca.se in the front hall. They had several speakers attend their meetings, such as a foreign e.xchange stu- dent attending CHS from Germany; a former Miss Michigan. Karen Southway: a speaker on flower ar- rangement; and a counselor speaking about summer jobs. They also made Valentine cookies and sent cards to the veterans. Food sales were the main source of income; proceeds being u. ed to send a representa- tive to a weekend, i tate Mid-Winter conference at Clear Lake. Rattle Creek; another girl to Cleveland. Ohio, for a week-long National Conference; and one incmixT to the Summer Conference at Hope College for a week. 128 This years Junior -Teens has been especially a(li e with group projects. The first of the year began with a cupcake sale and the collection for U.N.I.C.E.F. on ffalloween. The Christmas season found the girls working on doll clothes for the Santa Claus Girls. An- other successful activity was a cookie sale when all of the girls baked their cookies together in one of the home economics rooms. The children of a local or- phanage welcomed several Y-Teens every other Satur- day when they went to read stories and entertain them. Many of the Jr. High girls enjoyed the assembly put on jjy the Y-Teens featuring Karen Southway. former Mi.ss Michigan. Along with making Valentine cookies for the Veterans, they worked in conjuction with the Central Y.W.C.A. to put on a variety show for them. All of these projects help to fulfill the purpose of the Junior -Teens which is to build fellowship of girls devoted to the tasks of realizing in our common life the ideals of personal and comnion living as Christians.

Senior Red Cross Serves Those in Need An important service organization, and the largest in Central, is the Red Cross. The membership is divided into two groups: the first being the active mem- bers and homeroom representatives: and the second, on the inactive list, those who contributed to the fund raising drive in the fall. The money that was con- tributed will be used by the National Red Cross to provide ser ices for people in distress in the Grand iiapids area. One of the most important and worth- while projects this year was going to the home for the blind in groups of three. Every Monday night the residents of the home eagerly awaited their arrival so that they could write letters, read, or just visit with llicni. Tlic members also helped the junior high group uitli llicir rummage .•iaie. Through their work and assistance of Mi.ss Cassidy and Mi.ss Berk, the mem- bers learned how to take on responsibilities and gained great satisfaction from heljting those in need. 130 Row 1; S.

Anyone who has made a contri- i)ution is then allowed to join along with the home- room representatives and their alternates. Taking the role of a service organization, the group .spent many hours at the Home for the Aged entertaining the elderly people. They also filled gift boxes which con- tained a number of small necessities such as tooth- brushes, combs, etc. As a fund raising project the Red Cross held a rummage sale at which all members contributed to make a success. L nder the guidance of Mr. Duquette, the group proved to be one of the most worthwhile junior high organizations at Central. Junior Red Cross Provides a Helping Hand Row 1; B. Brubacke, P.

The proceedings at the meetings were conducted in French so that the students would become better acquainted and more proficient with the French language. Beau- tiful movies and slides along with speakers further developed their knowledge of the French culture and customs. The art of cookery was attempted by many members as they had various potluck dinners featuring French foods. The treasury was built up by the sale of Rams ' pins and doughnuts.

Johnson The Audio-Visual staff is made up of both Jjoys and girls. This staff aids teachers in presenting a more varied program for the benefit of the students. All hours of the day they assist teachers in operating pro- jectors and record players, move projectors from floor to floor, and run errands when requested by teachers. They supply our library with current educational films and keep the catalogue and files in order. In the course of operation, films are often broken; when this occurs, the alert audio-visual crew splices the film, making it as good as new. Running the projectors is mans work, but keeping records up to date is for the girls. Mr. Posthumus has a very capable crew of typists who add and subtract entries from records. Each audio-visual worker is chosen directly by Mr. Posthumus. At the beginning of the year, volunteers are recruited from the study halls; these are approved in three basic areas: dependability, personality, and a scholastic average of C or better. 133 Meyers, N, Wotring, R.

Honor Society Encourages Scholarship Secretaries: Nancy Wotring, Mary Whitman, Treasurers: Jim Palma, Sue Myers, Vice Presidents: Bill Myers, Cathy Riach, Presidents: Mark Van Allsburg, John Broyman. Twice a year a very impressive assembly is put on liy the National Honor Society to induct new members. Three main goals, scholarship, leadership, and service, are taken into consideration when selecting students to join this society. The group then ser es the purpose of creating enthusiasm for scholarship, promoting worthy leadership, and encouraging the development of character in the student body of Central. The Lost and Found Department is open every day before school under the supervision of the members. Citizens in India are informed on the news about happenings in and around the U. S. by receiving magazines from our local chapter of the society. As a means of build- ing up the treasury, homemade bread was sold during the Christmas season. Under the joint leadership of Miss .Schriber and Mrs. Harrigan, this group proved to have a very successful year. 134 One of the duties of the meml)ers of the library ckil) is to work at least two hours a week assisting students and fa cuUy memliers in finding helpful ma- terial. Often these duties entail finding books for en- tertainment. In addition they check the time on students ' permits and keep the books in neat order on the shelves. Making a scrap book that pertains to C.H.S. and the achievement of the students is one of the main projects of the library club. To create fur- ther interest in new books, they also keep a show case of current books on the second floor up to date. Fif- teen members from the ninth to twelfth grades, who are very interested in library work, make up this very helpful organization that was founded in 1951 and is now under leadership of Mrs. Brower and Miss Rog- genbuck. This is a very necessary club to Central and without its help many students would find completing their assignments difficult. Library Club Provides Able Assistants Row 1: B. Black, S. Carter, D.

They chose topics that would help them in understanding world aiifairs. Under the supervision of Miss DeYoung, the team took part in all the city league meets. The members also participated in the Kellogg Tournament. Much was learned about the techniques of debating at the High School Debate Clinics held at Western Mich- igan and Central Michigan Lniversities. Ist Row: M. Foster, J. Brodfleld, M. Crabb, B.

The girls meet each Tuesday from 3:15 to 4:00 p.m. The members comprise six teams which compete against each other in various sports, such as Softball, volleyball, basket- ball, and badminton, along with having scooter and other relay races. They also use the mats for tumbling. The girls also joined an inter-school volleyball league, which will serve as a measure to strengthen inter-school relations. As projects, the girls have food sales and spon.sor a junior high dance. At the athletic honors assembly, the first year members are awarded a num- eral of their graduating year, the second year members receive a small C , and the third year veterans are awarded an all city honor pin.

Orchestra Plays a Major Cultural Role The members of the Senior Orchestra are advanced instrumentalists who have the ability to play classical and semi -classical music with understanding and ac- curacy. They have added to the cultural phase o f the students ' life by presenting programs during our as- semblies, by playing at the .spring concert, and by joining with the choir in the presentation of the musi- cal Oklahoma . They also give of their time by playing during P.T.A. meetings and preceding events such as the Senior Play. Several members of this orchestra are also members of the Grand Hapids Junior Symphony Orchestra, which meets for rehearsal each Saturday morning in our auditorium. Each year, .sev- eral talented orchestra members receive scholarships to Irjterlochen or the Michigan Musir- Camp. 138 mn f 1 1 I F JL b, 1 I ' 3P ffl £1 H Tlic Junior (Jrchestra was formed to make possible an opportunity for young people to become more pro- ficient in the use of their chosen instrument and to learn to play together as a unit.

Kloet, Treasurer; C. Mick, Vice President. The pitch-middle C is often heard by the mem- hers of the Senior choir. Thi.s musically inclined group is made up of over sixty students from the tenth through twelfth grades. In November the beautiful selections .sung by the choir added to the .serenity of the Veteran ' s A.ssembly. The capability of the members to participate in the presentation of choral music was also displayed when the group appeared at the Com- munity Vesper Service at Park Church with the Grand Hapid.s .Symphony Orchestra. Also during the Christ- mas gea.son. the halls were filled with music the day he ore vacation when the choir sang carols. Many a.«semblies as well as special programs are scheduled to include this fine musical group, l.nder the direction of Mr. Schellenberger, many choir members also par- ticipated in this year ' s musical Oklahoma. The major profit making was a city-wirlc li . ' ht bulb sale along with .neveral food sales. 140 The Junii talent. This year the Junior Chorus was given opportuni- ties to uncover their hidden talents. The first appear- ance was at the Christmas Assembly, which was followed by several music assemblies and the Spring Concert. Singing under the direction of Mr. Schellen- berger and accompanied by Mrs. Roman, this group of junior high students is provided with a chance to widen their horizons in the field of music and to learn that co-operation and harmony are very neces- sary for successful group singing. They are also given the opportunity to uncover their hidden talent while receiving additional instruction and experience in the performance of choral music. These seventh and eighth graders generally continue their activities in the Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Club and eventually the Senior Club. Junior Chorus Provides New Voices Row 1: P. lazenby, L.

Seven reserve cheerleaders are present at all freshman and second team games and also at varsity games as substitutes. The varsity squad plans pep assemblies and promotes school spirit along with cheering at all varsity football and basketball games. They also hold spreads before the games with cheerleaders of the opposing schools in efforts to promote better interschool relations. Both squads work in unity to raise money by having car washes, food sales, and junior high dances to send some of their returning members to summer training camp. The senior squad under the direction of Miss De Young, along with the reserves led by Mrs. Prein, did an excellent job in building school spirit. Reserve Cheerleaders Stimulate Enthusiasm 143 Bands and Golden Girls Stimulate School Spirit The hand program at Central High School makes possihle six consecutive years of musical training for any music student desiring it. During these years, the student increases his general knowledge of music, learns to appreciate all types of musical compositions, and becomes more proficient in the use of his chosen instrument. The student is provided with a wealth of background experience and training from which he can draw in later years. While enjoying these bene- fits, hand members are at the same time serving their school by performing during assemblies and playing at the Pops concert. It is at the football games where they are the most appreciated. This group is joined by the Golden Girls who add beauty and excite- ment through the use of clever drills against a back- ground of band music. Row 1: S. Mortineau, M. Tubbs, J. Brown, J. Boweio, K.

Reserves Work Hard; Lose Close Ones The success of a football team cannot be measured in victories and defeats. To the reserve squad, who finished with a 2-5 won-Iost record, the season was a tremendous success. The coaches and players realized it was a period of intense learning and development for next year ' s varsity hopefuls. After losing five of his eleven starters to the varsity squad. Mr. Barcheski and his able assistant Mr. McGovern worked hard to re-organize their team and prepare it for the coming season. From every mistake the team learned and from every defeat its desire for victory rose until it was adequately rewarded with victories over Creston and West Catholic. Along with the skills acquired, the team developed an attitude and spirit which will make it a welcome segment of next years varsity squad and a dangerous ((intondcr in the city league. Bob DenBrabe Mande n equrpr Coached l)y Mr. Earl Mandeville. this years fresh- man football team, fielding a .staunch defense and a powerful offense, charged its way to the city league ehanipionship. This even balance between offense and defense enabled the little Rams to outplay such pigskin powerhouses as Creston. West Catholic. Lnion. and South. L nder the guiding eye of Mr. Mandeville. whose instructions are the vital factors in preparing these boys for varsity duty in future years, the team finished with an unblemished record. The most crucial game of the season for the freshmen was against power- ful Catholic Central, a team which hadnt tasted defeat in its first five games of the season. This game, how- ever, proved one-sided as Central finished on top with an admirable 26-0 victory. The game clinched the city league crown for the frosh team and gave Central its best freshman football won-lost record in historv.

The great determination of many sophomores and juniors helped lead the team to a high finish in the Regional meet. Most of the runners were out foi- the first time: therefore, the squad was hurt hv inexperience. Rohert Kopen. a senior, the team ' s number one runner, and Richard Runyan. a junior, helped the team with their one-two combination throughout the season. Robert Kopen was the only harrier from the squad to qualify for the state meet at psilanti.

However, when things looked dismal, this squad rebounded and gained a mo- mentum which carried it through the District Tourna- ments and into the Regionals. The team displayed poise, skill, hustle, and confidence in its defeat at the hands of powerful South. In this game, the liams played viciously and threatened to take the game until a late South surge in the final minute extinguished the Rams ' upset hopes. Central then lost to Catholic and beat Creston; then lost to Ottawa by one point. Next, the apex of the season was reached in the second game against the undefeated Chri.stian Eagles, ranked third in the state class A rat- ings. In this game, the Hams assumed the role of David the giant killer and dealt Goliath a stinging defeat. The squad led throughout the contest and survived a late Christian rally to win by one point. This upset victory propelled the team past Union and West Catholic to finish the season with a 6-8 won-lost record in the city league and a tie for fourth place. In the tournaments, the Rams collected easy victories over West Catholic, Cadillac, and finally Creston, to capture the District Championship and bring home the trophy. Riding on six straight wins, the Rams met Mar- quette in the first game of the Regionals and suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of the Redmen.

Following the ex- ample of their football team, the freshmen set a torrid pace in the city league basketball race and cap- tured the title with an untarnished won-lost record. In the words of the freshman coach, John Butler, the team had the desire, ability, and hustle which en- ables a good team to become a championship team. The most exciting game for the squad came against Ottawa, the last event of the season, when the appren- tice JJams put their undefeated record on the line. It was an uphill struggle all the way, but the little Rams were victorious. Outstanding individuals on the team and possible varsity candidates next year include Eugene Grady, John Walsh, James Kemp, and Ward .Severson. Rich in the talent and spirit of a winning team, the squad is looking forward to the next three years and the excitement of varsity competition.

Under the guidance of a new coach. Mr. McDermott, the team worked hard for its single dual meet victory. This victory was against West Catholic and was the result of a strong, united team effort. The squad was a small, yet experienced unit, crippled by a lack of consistent first ' place finisher. This void was partly filled by Bruce Barber, the team ' s high point man, swimming in the freestyle events. Tom Oole, Jack Schoon, and Steve Hula also worked hard in their individual strokes. Depth and versatility was added to the team by Larry Vergouwe, Bob Myers, Dick Jordan, Terry Wozniak, and Jack Potter. Yet, no squad can win by themselves, and a lack of student support was felt by the team. With a showing of not more than ten spectators at each meet, no team can work up to their greatest potential. Although the season seemed a disaster, it was a period of learning and experience for the promising junior and sopho- more who are looking forward to victorious years in the future.

Due to the graduation of fifteen letter winners from last years squad, Mr. Fox was faced with the problems of a new, undeveloped team. The team did, however, show a great deal of talent and desire, and it worked hard in practice throughout the spring. Leading the players to victor) in competition were veterans Rocky Rosema, John ' andenBerg, Rudy Booker, Paul Ceton, Walter Dur- ham, and Llysses Scrivens. In addition to these run- ners, there were many returning veterans and up-coming boys from former freshman squads vho were a great asset to the team. These bovs, along with returning lettermen, had great potential, and under the watchful eye of Mr. Fox, this team was a definite dark horse contender in the city league race, and it finished with a fine record.

Freshmen Set for Track Competition Having a freshman class rich in athletic aliility to work with, Mr. Barcheski hoped to field a champion- ship team in freshman track this year. This class had thus far produced undefeated teams in footliall and basketball, and it took aim on another first pace finish. A large turnout by seventh, eighth, and ninth graders for the team demonstrated the zealous attitude the jun- ior high possessed for athletics. This large turnout also provided Mr. Barcheski with a large field of talent with which he created a winning team. Boys who looked good in meets throughout the spring included Jim Cass, Sylvester Figures, Milt Koukios, Eugene Grady, and Bob Rosema. During the season, the boys also gained valuable experience and education in the fundamentals of track competition in preparation fm varsity participation in future years.

Working exceptionally hard in the gym and at Hiilcrest, this team prepared to set the city league on fire with hot bats and good fielding. Veterans and lettermen returning from last year ' s squad were pushed for positions by talented underclassmen hungr) ' for competition. This rivalry between team members produced hard work and a lot of hustle from each individual player in attempts to capture a spot in the starting nine. Leading the team to victory were Kim Miller, Dick Gerritsen, Boh Krueger. and Eric Williams. New faces in the lineup included Will Ed- wards, Roger Scheifler, Dave VanDyke, and Ed Cook. Mr. Cleaveland ' s boys played a hard fast brand of base- hall which included many bunts, hit-and-run plays, and stolen bases. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Cleaveland, the fine combination of veterans and rookies enabled the varsity squad to enter the season as a definite contender and complete it with marked success. Frosh Gear For Third City League Title Because freshman ball is the only experience many boys receive before joining the varsity squad, Mr. Martis, as coach of junior high baseball, plays an im- portant role in the development of baseball talent at Central. Approximately thirty-five boys answered the call for the freshman team this year and from these players Mr. Martis developed a hard working, de- termined team which never gave up and always played well. This squad, although it lacked pitching strength and depth in the outfield, proved to be no push over for opposing teams. One of the squad ' s major assets was its quick, strong infield. Here, Ward Severson, Jim Zarafonetis. and Bob Burke proved to be a talented unit on defense. Wayne Sharphorn, who captured the team batting crown last year as a seventh grader, re- turned as an experienced outfielder this year, and he did a fine job for the team. Mr. Martis worked hard with these boys all spring to teach them the basic fundamentals of baseball and to develop their individ- ual abilities, and this will provide Mr. Cleaveland, the varsity coach, with a talented crop of sophomores with which to work in the 1965 season.

Tennis is an exhaustingly fast sport which requires much practice and conditioning. In an attempt to whip a winning team into shape, Mr. McGovem started practice in early March this season with sessions in the gym every morning before school. In his first year as coach, Mr. Mike McGovern had an experienced and talented squad with which to work, and he did a fine job in coaching this team for Central. The boys re- warded their coach for his efforts by playing exceed- ingly good fast tennis on the courts of Franklin Park in match after match throughout the season. Veterans who returned to the squad from last year ' s team in- cluded Evans Koukios. John Bradfield. Tim Celmins, Pete Samuelson, Mike Crabb, and Bill Dawson. These veterans were joined by a number of sophomores and juniors who were groomed for varsity competition in 1965 and 1966.

Lawrence Zorzeck Golf Team Studded with Valuable Talent With a large number of returning lettermen, the golf squad expected to finish high in the final standing of city league competition. Coach DeVries had an ex- perienced crew returning to attack the area golf links in his second season of coaching. With lettermen Dennis Bush, Joe Kuzniak, Jack Pressy, Larry Scud- der, and Dick Jordan to lead the way, the season ' s play proved to be very interesting and exciting. These young men from Central practiced long hours, some- times staying out on the fareways and greens until dark, in preparing for the season ' s competition. The young divit-makers used their drivers, irons, and putt- ers to the best advantage in working for a good season and strong finish. This was a determined squad which Mr. DeVries led, and it did not falter in head to head competition and was a credit to Central High School athletics. Golf coach Mr. DeVries discusses the with Dennis Bush and Dick Jordon. L nder the direction of Mr. Sharphorn, the athletic staS has proved to be a hard working and smooth op- erating staff. Mr. Sharphorn has handled the vast re- sponsibilities of athletic director admirably. Since he is responsible for supervising matters dealing with the school ' s athletic teams and contests, much of his time is spent in working with the coaches and officials of each sport. Still this job is too large for one man to handle alone and much time and effort are given to the school by other faculty members: Mr. TenElshof, in charge of finances; Mr. Ludwick, handling eligibil- ity and insurance; and Mr. Laham, the equipment manager. Aiding Mr. Sharphorn are the athletic sec- retaries, Mary Dirkmatt and Kathy Grawburg. It is their responsibility to keep records and eligibility lists, sell tickets, and organize the athletic assemblies. They have worked hard and efficiently and deserve recog- nition for their hard work and time spent serving the school.

Throughout the year, the staff labored for numerous long hours. Members not only used their regular school time, they also gave up time after school and during Christmas and spring vacations to this endeavor. Last summer, three of the staff studied yearbook editing at the Communications Arts Institute at Michigan State University before they assumed their duties. A fitting reward for the sacrifice and dedication of the staff is this year ' s Helios. The staff wishes to express its appreciation to the people who have helped in the processing of this book: I ' rinting Arts, Central Trade Plant, the S. K. Smith Company, Dekker and Sons, and West-Dempster. We would also like to express our special gratitude to the faculty, the administration, and the students of Central High School, without whose cooperation the annual would not have been possible. Special appreciation should also be given to our advisors. Miss DeLoof, Mr. Beattie, Miss Schriber, and Mr. Miller, for their ])atience, aid, and understanding.
