Administrative staff and faculty guiding: .seventh graders coming on: Seniors go- ing off: education continuing on: sports, organ- izations, and acti ities whirling bv — this is the carrousel of Central High School. The marching band, tlie flying arms of sportsmen, the artistic paintings decorating our halls, and the different hues at formal dances keep our carrousel brightly colored. Creating our music and voicing our song are the cheers for the team, the words in a class- room, the hubbul) in the halls, the clamor in the worL-ihops. and the silence of study. .As on the carrousel, ups and do vns are also part of our school life, and all in our merry- go-round operate to make their ride a profit- able and enjoyable one because success here determines future accomplishments. CARROU- SEL, the theme of the 1965 Helios, represents our school, a part of our life, and our experi- ences. ,— -_ ( r ' f C e ?,! .-j Organizations 120 -■ contents VP M n WBr fl |9 lim m R w mm d t  L ■ Ip J P Underclassmen 56 Activities . 158 Sports 96 Dedication On l)fhalf of the Senior Class of 1965 the Helios Annual staff is dedicating this year ' s book to a member of the faculty who is held in high regard by students and fellow teachers. For 21 years Central ' s hall and classrooms have been honored by the presence of this sincere in(li idual. In her years as a history teacher, Senior class advisor, and counselor she has always shown unparalleled devotion to students — giving unstintingly of her time. The younger generation. as we are so often referred to. has come to appreciate persons with faith and interest in our talents and abilities. It is obvious to us that she has an intense desire to help the teenager of today become a well-rounded individual. This year ' s book is dedicated to Misp Lucille Meyering in appreciation of all she has done for us and in hopes that she will find this a more fitting expression than the quiet thank you we mutter as we leave her office.

Principal Romani in on chief obstacles in sctiool ielow, Mr. Vruggink, the assistant prin- :ipal, looks over a list of new textbooks. Heading the adminstration are two hard working men, Mr. Romani as principal and Mr. Vruggink as assistant principal. Chief Adminstrator Romani ' s re- sponsibilities are many and wide-spread. Like the revolving of the carrousel, Mr. Romani keeps the school curriculum moving in a smooth orderly manner. Seeing that the educational requirements are met both in the class rooms and by the educators themselves is another task of the principal. The principal must be a man of many talents and abilities, since much is required of him during this day and age. Furthermore, Mr. Romani must be cognizant of all new ideas or streams of thought that are occuring which may affect Central in any way. Help keeping the carrousel of school programing is the assistant principal Mr. Vruggink, who has many tasks to perform. He is the director of instruction and orders such material as maps, tests, books, audio-visual aids, and other equipment related to the class rooms. Second, he is in charge of scheduling and supervising all assemblies. Other duties include individual con- ferences with teachers, as well as working closely with student and substitute teachers. Finally, the building is in his control in the absence of the principal. As can be seen, the assistant principal must he a man of great initiative. Both men are great assests to Central High and will continue to be so. Mrs. Brower and Miss Roggenbuck keep the school library supplie up-doted and in good condition. Mrs. Corlson, speech correclionist, aids students to bette speaking skill. Special Services Specialists on the school staff provide many essential services to the students. For example, the librarians instruct students in the use of the library; keep it up to date by ordering magazines, fiction, and non-fiction; and locate reference materials and checkout books for students and teachers. The nurse, on the other hand, works with students who have health problems, or who become ill during the day. She also assists when shots are given. To help those students with speech prob- lems, the speech specialist holds classes several times a week. These specialists are a very necessary part of the school staff. Many students ot Central consult the school health nurse, Mrs. Bulgarellb. The cafeteria staff include Jean Haskins, Ethel Jold Kelly, and Estella Sokoloski. Performed by Many A necessary part of the school system are tlie cooks and custodians. As a result of the fine cooking, the student is able to purchase a meal at noon that is both filling and inexpensive. Because of their planning, the student is able to quickly buy his lunch without con- fusion. The custodians have an immense job in keeping the school clean and neat. In addition to sweeping floors, washing windows, and emptying waste baskets, they maintain the appearance of the school by shoveling snow, fixing windows, and cutting grass. The cooks and custodians do a truly fine job at Central High School. The custodians include Ray Lasey, Art Osfrander, Wes Ramey, John VanderZond, George Heckmer, Edward Simion. 15 Specialists Aid Faculty and Students Assisting the aiiministration in all secretarial work are the attendance and office secretaries. Mrs. Mott- ashed is in charge of school truancy, while Mrs. Keegstra, in charge of school attendance, makes up the excused list and issues excused absences. The office secretariate is composed of three efficient and pro- ductive workers: Miss Winters, Mrs. Geelhoed, and Mrs. Vi ' elmerink. The secretaries perform such tasks as writing up the record notice, typing all letters and material requested hy the principal and assistant princi- pal and filing all student records. Both faculty and student body are dependent on the secretaries. Counseling carries the seal of a profession which re- quires highly specialized talents and abilities. Perform- ing the counseling at Central are four professionalists in iheir field: Miss Meyering. Mr. Perrin. Mr. Beattie. and Mr. N ' anderLann. The counselors ' objectives lie in helping the student plan his course of study, not only at Central but in his future education. S ' orking closely with Seniors in relation to college choice comprises another reponsibility of the counselors. However, dis- cussing and finding solutions to student ' s problems is looked upon as the major part of their field. . n overall analvsis reveals that counselors play an important role in the student ' s educational career. Head Counselor Perrin helps students by preparing their next year ' s curriculum.

These teachers are qualified so as to get the student used to doing home- work, being treated like an adult, and getting him to think for himself. The set up of the seventh and eighth grades is one of a fused program. Instead of having seperate teachers for English, History, and Mathematics, they have the same ones, which in the long run is beneficial to the students as well as to the teachers themselve.s. With this excellent group of teachers the students have attained new goals and opportunities. Mrs. Atchison, seventh grade geography teacher, points out to students one of the recent trouble spots in the world. Mrs, DeBoer, geogrophy teacher, takes he round the world — from the rain forests in frozen Arctic.

The home economics department is designed to im- prove students skills in present and future fam ily life. All seventh grade students are required to take a home living course in which they learn to prepare foods and to adjust to new situations and friends. From here a girl may continue in either foods or clothing by taking fur- ther introductory courses in the eighth grade. Advanced courses in these areas are offered in the ninth and tenth grades to interested girls. The classes are such as to teach the students specialized skills and techniques in foods and clothing. Miss Uggen, clothing teacher, exhibits students. Showing some of the equipment used in the home economic deportmeni ii Mri.

Students learn ajiout the arious painters during each period of time and the stvle characteristic of that period. Included in the different phases of art are the principles, skills, techniques, and knowledge of the subject. Introductory art courses are required in the seventh and eighth grades, and the student can con- tinue in thi.s area for a four-year course. In this de- partment, students come to realize that Art is an inte- gral part of everyday life. Mr. Elmer, art teacher, shows off a brightly colored paper mask. Mr. Duquette exhibits a painting done by a student in one of his art classes. Training Promotes Safe Driving Habits Drivers ' Training attempts to correlate class time with actual driving experience. During the class period the student is taught the rules and regulations of driv- ing. From here the student gets a chance to practice his skill and knowledge on the driver ' s range. How- ever, the big test comes in actual driving experience on the road. Drivers ' training is a one-semester course and if successful, the student is eligible to obtain his driving license.

Through the vocal dej)artment the student learns to apj)reciate the art of good singing. The acappella choir is also included under this part. The senior high hank and the various lc els of orchestras comprise the instrumental depart- ment. As part of the program they present the annual Pop s Concert under the direction of Mr. Becker. The (ical department heads the Christmas program and the Memorial Day Assembly directed by Mr. Schellen- lierger and Mrs. Roman.

All these courses are designed to allow Central students to compete in the fast growing busi- ness world. Typing and shorthand emphasize maxi- mum speed with a minimum number of errors. Presentation of awards to students with top speeds is also sponsored by this department. Looking to the future, the Business Department hopes to begi n a one- semester personal typing course for college-bound students. Miss Adams illustrates the techniques of good typing to her class. 0000 25 Science Opens New Perspectives Science, llie sliulv of life and phenomena, takes up a major part of academic life at Central. The department branches ont into the various phases of science — biology, chemistry, physics, and physiology. In biology the stu- dent learns of living creatures and their functions. Chemistry deals with the elements, their composition, and reaction. The student observes this through the various experiments performed. Forces. Newton ' s laws of gravity, and acceleration are taught in physics while phvsiology specializes in the human body — its func- tions and activities. General science is offered to seventh and eighth graders. The aim of the Science Depart- ment is to prepare the student for future events and to broaden his knowledge of our universe and of man himself.

Foreign Tongues Gain Universal Importance With national attention ijeing given to the learning of a foreign language. Central ' s foreign language depart- ment teaches students the fundamentals of French, Spanish, and Latin. The department makes good use of the language laboratory, which provides the students with an opportunity to hear the language spoken as it should be and compare it with their own voices. Students are able to speak and read the language fluently and to understand its usage. By taking a two-year course in language, a person not only becomes knowledgable about the life but also the culture of other nations. GlacJiotors ancJ amphitheaters, as explained by Miss Fennell, Latin instructor, played an important part in Roman history. Kukor shows ng a verb. her first year French class the correct way of conju- 27 Mathematics a Must for Advanced Studies Mathematir, sets the stage for practically all advanced courses and is an active program at Central. Although this department enaliles the student to learn the various fundamental processes involved in the solution of prob- lems, its major objective is to correlate this knowledge into a practical application of it. Included in advanced mathematics are four semesters of Algebra, solid and plane geometry, and trigonometry; however, these will be changed next year through a revision of all books, condensation of certain courses, and a mild introduction to new courses. Math plays a vital role in the student ' s life although quite often he is not aware that he is using the Pvlheoorean theorem or the Law of Functions. Mr. Grill points oul non mathematical error to his students Mrs. VonBelkum discusses the role mathematics plays in a person ' s evcrydoy life. Mr. Marcus, ninth grade Algebra teacher, explains the soli tion of a simultaneous equation. Mr. Schut shows his geometry doss how to determine the number of degrees in an arc. 2R Quiet Study Zone Study hall provides the student with an opportunity to view his studies. A person may catch up on his home- work or, if he is ambitious, he may use the time to work ahead. The student may review past lessons or study for a test. During this hour, he is given an opportunity to go to a class and do makeup work, to talk with a teacher, or to go to the library. If he has no work to do, he may read or talk quietly with his friends. The study halls provide the students with time to think and work. Looking over next year ' s advanced moth instructor.

The English Department might ufil he called the communication center of Central High. ork done in other departments is based upon the training received in English. English gives the students the materials to learn how to read, to speak, and to interpret. More basically. English encourages students to u.se correct grammar and to be aware of the mechanics of the language. Through this department, the student is in- troduced to famous authors, their works, and the ideas they present. A student is taught how to communicate through his written work. The English Department works closely with the library, gi ing the students an opportunity to use skills in research work. Lessons cov- ered in English classes will help the person in the social as well as in the business world. Mrs. Wanderscheld prepares to lecture on the influence of the westward movement on American literature. Mr. Barkema exploins the use of the eight parts of speech to hi ' English class. 30 lecturing on the structure of the short story is Miss Marks English teacher. Miss Schriber prepares her honors English with on introduction to William Shakespeare for a term paper Giving a weekly spelling test is Miss Corrigan, English teoche 31 lW . .■ 2 Diverse Courses Offered by History Department To teach the students an awareness of the world is the goal for which the social studies department strives. The department desires to make students intelligent, re- sponsible citizens for tomorrow with a respect for this country ' s traditions. Expectantly, the student will have a knowledge of democracy — its pr inciples and its methods of working. Social studies give the students an awereness of other types of governments and their cul- tures, whereby they will have a better understanding and tolerance for the governments. An understanding of economic and social problems of the environment is also stressed, teaching the students to work together co- operatively on common goals or problems and to develop a moral standard of living. After taking courses in social studies, the student will be able to converse intelligently about world events. Mrs. Harrigan prepares a small quiz for one of her United States history classes. Mr. King listens tentotively while article. student reports on a news Mr. Posthumus uses his information-filled bulletin board to instruct his history and civics classes. 1 i _ -ir f I ' 33 : N l seniors y Boy Advisor Dick DeBoor ord Girl Advisor Becky Lomon listen with Trcosurer Fred Griflfis to comments mode by Vice-President Carol Pfuhl ond President Denny Lorson. Secretory Barb Mckeever tokes notes. Seniors Enjoy Memorable, Active Year A lasting impression is made on the students as their Senior year lakes form. Vt ' ho could forget the excite- ment of class elections, the enchanted mood of the last Homecoming Dance, and the Junior-Senior Prom? The delight of seeing classmates perform in the Senior play and the frustrations of the money-making sales will long he rememhered with fondness. No one will ever forget the solemn thoughts as the Senior Class sang their cla. ' s song and witnessed the unveiling of their numher on iNumeral Day. All of these activities and many more keep the Senior year moving at a fast and happy pace. It is with such fond memories behind that Seniors find themselves facing graduation with mixed-emotions. They will feel sad hccause many wonderful friends will be left behind; yd they will be happy with the realiza- tion of a new life opened l)eforc them. All Seniors must be prepared to make decisions for this new life: what college to attend and what vocation to choose. Although the Seniors are soon to leave Central, a part of them will always remain. In memory they will often walk through the halls which echo the friendly clamor of their companions. 36 Robert Edward Blanchard Kathy Jo Block Daniel L. Boeskool Richard G. Boeskool Bruce J.

The Juniors began this successful year by organizing their ambitious class and electing energetic officers; then they went to work. They held a car wash- and-wa to induce class unity, co-sponsored a Junior- Senior potluck to influence friendships, and volunteered as Big Brothers. Big Sisters, making lifelong friends of many ' ' lost and lonely seventh graders. The high- light of this busy year for the Juniors was the arrival of their long-awaited class rings. These were the center of attraction — until the novelty wore off. (about three weeks) . Biggest social event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom, was a great success owing to the eager- ness and never-ending energy of the Juniors.

Freshmen Build a Firm Foundation Thf ninth graders, leaders of the Junior High world, work hard to develop alert minds, strong hodies. and lasting friendships. These .students work hard at study- ing and competing and still have time to enjoy other things. Because of previous participation and experi- ence, the Freshmen are gi en the leading role in the governing of the Junior High Student Council and are responsible for the planning of all Junior High activi- ties. There are new opportunities for participation open to them, such as Junior High cheerleading and Junior ushers. They now find themselves studying subjects which, for the first time, they have chosen themselves. Also available to them are study halls to provide a quiet, organized atmosphere in which to prepare for these subjects. The Freshmen use this year wi sely to gain the experience, knowledge, and friendship so necessary for their next three years of high school. 72 73 David Dusendang Janet Edwards Robert Edwards GaM Eilers Clarence Ellis LoWanda Ellison Jonn Emmerl Jomes Fisher Cloudio Fletchei James Flickinge Kenneth Flietstn David Forrest William Frazine Renee Garrison Ruben Garza Everett Goods Carol Gorton Michael Graf Margaret Gurke w 9 Mk f ,i J Tamara Harmon Ronold Howkins Carol Heolhington Linda Hoebeke James Hollowell Claude Howord tit? 74 hJ A Steve HufFman Mary Huizing Stephen Hunting Linda Huyser Ruben Ivy Jeanett James Vicl i James Jackie Jamo Kathy Jenkins Genece Jennett Jerry Jennings Larry Jewell Marianne Jobse Escue Johnson Jessie Johnson Linda Johnson Lorenzo Johnson Michael Johnson Linda Johnston Morcia Jones Jacqueline Jordon Joycelyn Joseph Ruth King Sally Klunder Ninth Graders Vision a Bright Future Henry Koets Kohlenberge Kubiok r Andrew Kuklewski Pom Lachniet Library passes are at o premium in Mr. Redds ninth grode study hall.

Eighth graders, in their second year at Central, are looking forward to new experiences and challenges. They eagerly plan the academic program which will be the path they will follow through their future years in high school. This choice is one of the most important steps in the charting of their future. Many opportuni- ties for leadership, experience, and responsibility are available to the eighth graders. They may participate in many different activities such as Junior High Student Council. Red Cross, Intermediate Band or Orchestra, and Junior High Chorus. With their past friendships, confidence, routines, and experience behind them, they are fully prepared for their future years of high school. David Abbgy Janice Alexan.

At first, Junior High was an awesome and terrifing thing, hut after about three weeks of changing classes, sharing lockers, and ail around adjusting, seventh graders became ac- customed to Junior High School life. This is very evi- dent to any student who makes the mistake of being caught in the north-east stair-case when the B lunch bell rings. In their rush to get to the cafeteria, they might trample anything in their way. Also a part of this new way of life are assemblies. Student Council, and various other Junior High activities and organizations. This first year of Junior High represents a continuing challenge and a promise of a bright and exciting future.

Rams Capture Title Sparked with determination and a patronized student effort, the football team finished the season with an excellent six win - two loss record to share the city league title with Ottawa. This was the first time in seventeen years that Central ' s grid team had been able to capture a piece of the title or attain such a good win-loss record. The season was highlighted by the fine . ' )2 to lo viii over Catholic Central, which also was a seventeen-year first. All city-halfback Willard Edwards and all-city guard Don Boyer displayed out- standing efTort through-out the season. Other valuable players were quarterback and punter Bob Krueger and halfbacks Eugene Grady aii(] Tom Gordon. There was also fine line play by Steve Nesbitt. Ed Cook, Jim Kemp, and Andre Pierre. The squad was brilliantly lead by Co-ca|)tains Steve Nesbitt. who called defensive signals and Willard Edwards, who called offensive signals. The squad will lose a few of their starting line-up through graduation, but with the continued fine coaching of Mr. Posthumous and his assistants and a desire to play ball by the team, Central ' s grid team anticipates another winning season next year. 98 Varsity football coaches Mr. Borcheski, Mr. Schulti and Mr, Posthumus discuss the team ' s championship season with their man- agers Larry Bogart and Ron Galloway.

Fourth Second Team Shows Good Varsity Potential Awoiling Ihe orrivol of the tecond leom, Cooch Mondeville looki over the field. During the season through much hard work, the second team was able to build many good varsity prospects. Some of their more experienced players were lost to the varsity which hurt the team in the win-loss column, but aided the varsity a great deal. Throughout the season, the important fundamentals of football were learned and practiced. The boys played good, tough aggre.ssive football, showing improvement. They ended the season with a three win - four loss record to place fifth in the city reserve standings. Coach Mr. Mandex ille. who led the team very well this season, said he believes these boys will be able to do the job next year when ihey will become varsity candidates.

For some of these boys, this is the first organized football they have ever played. Although the team was young and in- experienced, it displayed a great deal of ambition and desire. Under the fine coaching of Mr. Hecker, the Freshmen soon made up for weaknesses as the result of their ability to quickly master the fundamentals and a determination to play good hard-nosed football. The team finished the season with a three win - two loss and one tie record to place third in the city Freshmen standings.

Harriers Lack Depth, but Show Improvement Our crosscountry team this year was in need of depth although great improvements were made during the year. They finished the season with a record of three wins — five losses to place sixth in the city standing. Their improvements showed in the city meet at the end of the season, when the team was able to take fourth place. The team was led by the fine running of Senior Rich Runyon and Junior Eric Jansons who displayed excellent form throughout the year as well as in the Y.M.C.A. city dual and regional meets. Runyon had an outstanding time of 10:21 followed by Jansons ' time of 10:26 in the regional meet.

The season was long and defeat a common occurance. but the grabbling Rams stayed with it to learn some form of success. The team finished the .season placing sixth out of eight places. Senior letter winners were Rich Runyan, Bill LaGrone. Dan Bobo, Aaron Figures, and Dan Vasquez. Underclassmen of much promise are J. D. Cage, Herb Fuqua, and Nar- cisco Vasquez. J. D. Cage placed first in the city tournament in the 145-pound weight class. The team did a fine job under their coach Mr. Bennett. The squad had to start from scratch, having to learn the sport in a few weeks. These men did improve a great deal and .show great potential for future years.

After some heart breaking defeats, the team finislied the season tied for third place with Christian. The team had a very good pair of guards in Elmo Carlisle and Bob Krueger. ' ill- ard Edwards and Eric Vi illiams were starting forwards, and Tom Floyd played center. Alternating as guard and forward was Gene Grady. At the start of the season our Rams proved themselves by easily defeating Ottawa, but tliey were unable to continue this pace throughout the season. The team had more than their share of cold shooting quarters and close losses. In the tournaments the Ram s came alive and rolled over Union and West Catholic to capture the District Championships for the second year in a row. Then Central went on to the Re- glonals only to go down in defeat at the hands of Mus- kegon Heights in a come-from-behind victory. Because of the promising underclassmen. Coach Hecker is look- ing fonvard to another winning season even though he is going to lose three of his five starters through gradua- tion.

The team won nine and lost seven in an even balanced city league race, placing them fourth in the standings. On the second team level, this was the best season that Central has had in years.

Coach Posthumus held morning practices until the weather broke, teaching the men the basic funda- mentals as well as new ideas to better their game. He also had the team work out with isometrics to build their strength and produce more powerful stroking.

The team is also looking forward to up-coming hovs from the former freshmen team. Mike Flick, throwing the shot; Paul Van Putten at the pole vault ; and Dick Murray, an excellent hurdler.

Central Freshmen track teams are known for being rough competitors who like to win, and this year is no exception. About fifty seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys have turned out.

Each year the Council carries out a number of service and entertainment projects. Just a few of which are establishing a hall monitor system, distributing ID cards, maintaining tlie Counselor ' s Fund for aid to needy students, and sponsoring special seasonal events. In addition to all its projects, the Council is the co- ordinator of all the clubs. Committees set up in the Council clear the activities of these clubs and plan and take care of projects for the Council. Many social events such as Homecoming, Boys ' Heaven, and the Spring Fiesta are undertaken and sponsored by the Council each year.

All Juniors and Seniors with a 3.00 aver- age and one year in the Girls Athletic Association are eligihle for membership in this organization. The Agona Clubs initiation took place in the fall after the first marking period with the new members required to walk through a cla.ss day hilariously dre.ssed.

In order to render more ser ice. the Junior and Senior High chapters of the Red Cro. s were organized into one large group this year at Central High School. Studrni representatives are elected in the homerooms, but any student in the seventh through twelfth grades who wants to help with ser ice projects is able to join. At the beginning of the school year, there is an important fund drive during which all the students in the school are asked to give to a most worthy cause. These stu- dents who contribute are then considered honorary members of the Red Cross. The money raised in the school is contributed to the National Red Cross which finds use for it in America for many disasters or over .seas in stricken countries. Those students who show .special interest and ability in their work for the club are sent to a Red Cross Camp for one week during the summer. At the camp they gain skills and knowl- edge which they can bring back to the school in the fall or put to good use in everyday life.

A Roman banquet complete with Roman food is held for the new- members each year. Through enjoyment, the students learn to use and appreciate the Latin language. As well as enjoying themselves, the league members help others by raising money for CARE packages to send overseas and by corresponding with people in other countries.

Senior Ushers Give Assistance Keeping assemblies orderly and quiet is the main task of the Senior High Ushers. In the spring of eaeh year, the teaehers, counselors, and administrators meet to select from the Juniors of that year the ushes of ne. t year. Leadership, citizenship, and scholastic record .serve as a basis for the selection of the students. The iiculy appointed Senior Ushers perform their first duties liy ushering for the graduating Seniors on Class Dav. Class Night, and Graduation. This prepares liit- new ushers for the following school year when they will he expected to usher at all -Senior High assemblies and the Senior Class Play. To pay for various bills which may arise, occasional bake sales arc held throughout the year. Miss Chapman supervises the operations of the Senior lli-h Ushers. Heod Ushers, Pal Wall and Steve Ncsbill keep Ihe students moving. Junior High Ushers Assume Responsibihty Quickly and quietly ushering the Junior High students to and from assemblies, the Junior High ushers prove themselves one of the most useful groups in the school. Students chosen in the spring of their eighth grade year serve as ushers during their entire Freshmen year. They are present at all Junior High assemblies, such as the Pops Concert and Christmas assembly, to aid the teachers and students in being seated and dismi.ssed. Leadership, scholarship, and personality are the qualities looked for when selecting ushers. Because of the fine service this group renders to the school, the Junior High Student Council takes care of all financial business. Sponsorship of the group was given to Mrs. Wingeier.

These athletes earned their major letter hy parti( ' i])a- tion in one or more of the Varsity sports for a ])re- determined numlier of innings, quarters, or points. This organization stands for traditionally high stand- ards which the niemliers upliold all year. The purpose of the club is to bring all major letter winners together into one organization to render services to the school. When the athletes receive their major letter, they are in ited to join the club after they have successfully passed a grueling initiation. The club earns money through food sales, dances, and a basketball game. Highlighting the year is the C-Club-Faculty Game which pits the non-basketball letter winners of the C-Club against the agile members of the faculty. This money is put to use in several areas: during the Christmas season families are helped out with food donations, a scholarship is given to a deserving stu- dent at a special banquet, and a yearly school project is selected. With the money earned through the C-Cluh Faculty Game, the club bought blazers for all the coaches as this year ' s special project. Mr. Mc Dermott helps guide the club through its many activities. ■ Hj l ( K ' H . hMW ■il M? =4J 1 9 ' ' ' t1 1 1 President, Bob Krueger; treasurer, Gus Haratsarls; vice Steve Nesbitt; and secretary.

The Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders gi e an endless amount of energy to the students and the team by cheering in all kinds of weather and situations for football and basketball games, planning and present- ing pep assemblies, making spirit tags and posters, and always keeping the enthusiasm of the team and student body flying high. Their only material reward for their services is a certificate or a letter at the end of the year, but the biggest reward is the gratitude felt by the student body for these two small groups of girls. As if cheer- leading wasn ' t enough responsibility, these girls have sales throughout the year in order to send next year ' s cheerleading squad to summer training camp. Cheer- leaders are chosen each spring by teachers during tryouts held after school. Miss Craig and Miss De Young work to- gether to help the girls promote school spirit.

Choir ' s Songs Highlight Special Assemblies Always ready with a song, the Senior High Choir pro- vides several for special occasions. Every third hour during the school week, members are found in Room 30 practicing under the skilled leadership of Mr. Schellen- herger. Because Choir is considered a Senior High solid, only students in the tenth through twelfth grades are eligible for the class. Tryouts are held each spring for those interested in joining. Choir students are those who have found previous enjoyment in the Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Club or the Junior High Chorus. The choir not only offers students music enjoyment but also helps to develop vocal abilities and an appreciation of fine music. In November, the choir starts its year of service by singing for the Veteran ' s Assembly, musically paying tribute to those who served to protect their country. As fall turns to winter, all city high schools meet at Park Church with the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra to sing in the Community Vesper Service. In addition to preparing for the Community Vesper Service, the choir devotes much of its time to the Christmas season. They climax their many weeks of practice by performing for the Christmas program and caroling through the halls. A year of service is brought to an end by participation in the Spring Concert at Central High School. Full attention is given to Mr. Sctiellenberge during one of its class periods.

This group of string and selected brass and woodwind instnimcnt players provides a fine cultural aspect to Central High School. They give up a great deal of their time to play and practice for assemblies, the Spring Concert, and other music programs. The orchestra per- forms without the thought of a reward except a nice hand of applause and appreciation for a job always well done. During their class hour, the students study class- ical music and learn more about the music they play. Each year .Mr. Becker gives a great deal of his time in working with the orchestra, .so the . ' Students will enjoy a fine program. Students with special talent and desire are rewarded each year by the presentation of .scholar- ships to Intcrlochen or the Michigan Music Camp. 1.S2 Junior Orchestra Develops Instrumental Talents From the musicians of the Junior High Orchestra, come the future memliers of the Senior Orchestra. Through the formation of this organization, it is possible for Junior High students to become more proficient in the use of the instruments they have selected. Given the chance through study, the orchestra members have an opportunity to develop an appreciation for music. The Spring Concert and the Pops Concert are the results of a ) ' ear of practice. Those who find their work reward- ing will continue with music in high school and later life. Members of this group who show special skill and interest are rewarded at the end of the year with a music camp scholarship. Mr. Becker guides this group of young musicians through the year and offers help and in- formation. First row: S. Anderson, 5. Kopleyn, M. Kopen, L. DeBruyn. Second row: C. Krulzengo, C. Gorton, R.

Extra Time Given by Music Enthusiasts One of the few organizations open to any interested seventh or eighth grader, the Junior Chorus, provides a testing ground for later high school talent. Mrs. Roman and Mr. Schellenberger give their time and talents to work with this eager group one night a week after school. During this time the members are given a chance to continue their elementary singing experiences and gain training beyond that offered in the regularly scheduled music classes. Along with singing they try out different sound effects with simple instruments to make their songs more effective. Their eagerness and great ability result in excellent performances during assemblies. They are given opportunity to perform in the Christmas assem- blies. Junior High assemblies and the Spring Concert. Later, students can add to their experiences by partici- pating in Glee Club and Choir.

In order to render more sen ice. the Junior and Senior High chapters of the Red Cross were organized into one large group this year at Central High School. Student representatives are elected in the homerooms, but any student in the seventh through twelfth grades who wants to help with ser ice projects is able to join. At the beginning of the school year, there is an important fund drive during which all the students in the school are asked to give to a most worthy cause. These stu- dents who contribute are then considered honorary members of the Red Cross. The money raised in the school is contributed to the National Red Cross which finds use for it in America for many disasters or over seas in stricken countries. Those students who show special interest and ability in their work for the club are sent to a Red Cross Camp for one week during the summer. . t the camp they gain skills and knowl- edge which they can bring back to the school in the fall or put to good use in everyday life. Through food and doughnut sales the Red Cross raises the money needed to send worthy members to the summer camp. All meetings of the club are held after school, and they are alwavs very informational and educational. Mr. Duquette and Mr. Oill give much of their time as sponsors of the Junior and Senior Red Cross. Inspiration Conveyed to Student Body First row: M. Tubbs, N. DeYoung, D. Rennle. M. Veldmon, K.

Although each teacher differs on the numbers and the types of tests given, all are given to see what the student is capable of doing or what he has learned. Every de- partment from physics to gym administers tests of some type. The counsellors also administer standardized tests to see how the students are progressing, what subject he excels in, and what subjects could prove to be difficult for him. These tests are especially important for stu- dents ' programming and for working out their future vocations. Although most students dread test days, tests are ery essential in learning and are rewarding for those who are willing to work and to do well.

As in past years, it was difficult for this year ' s new staff to visualize the great amount of time, labor, and self-sacrifice that go into producing a yearbook. As our deadlines grew near, we were constantly working extra hours to meet them. We suffered the same trials and tribulations common to any beginners in anything they undertake, but we came through with a feeling of accomplishing something for our school. We also shared the knowledge we gained from this experience with next year ' s staff. We are deeply indebted to a number of people and organizations without whose help this book would not have been printed. Our thanks to Printing Arts, Central Trade Plant, the S. K. Smith Company, and Dekker and Sons and the representatives of these firms for their patience and understanding in helping us to work out our problems. We also wish to express our appreciation to Central High School: thefaculty. the administration, and the students; whose cooperation made this annual possible. Special appreciation and our deepest gratitude to our advisors Miss DeLoof. Miss Schriher, and Mr. Miller for their guidance, aid. and understanding. They are the real backbone of this staff.
