• During the past year, assemblies have varied from heavy drama to light comedy. As is the custom, our Thanksgiving and Easter programs were of a religious nature. The Reverend Armstrong delivered a Lenten message, while Reverend Reuben Youngdahl spoke at our Thanksgiving program. The orchestra furnished appropriate music for all occasions. We were honored to have Congressman Walter Judd and columnist George Grimm speak to the student body about the problems of the postwar world. Barb Anderson, Val Shrimpton and Dick Mayes were among the singing talent that appeared on Central’s stage this year. Pianists included Audrey Ovcrson, Bill Baden, Doug Crocker and Howie Knudtson. Bev Bernath and John Wilmot provided many laughs with their imitations of various types of dancers. At the right we see The Three V’s, Dick Mayes and Alton Johnson.” I MAKERS • • BAND—lint Ron: D.

However, later Mr. Strom left for another position, and for a few days the band was without a leader. Since Mr. Chester Bclstrom. the new conductor, has taken over the band, it has enlarged its membership. The band meets in the auditorium first hour, and one can often hear strains of familiar marches echoing through the halls during this period. Throughout the term the band has played at many patriotic and regular assemblies and has added a great deal of zest to the pep programs. I 27

HONOR SOCIETY • On the Honor Society Emblem are four letters, S, L, S, C, standing for Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Students who have met scholarship qualifications must also measure up to these character standards. The Honor Society is composed of 5 per cent of the A junior class with a 2.3 average, 10 per cent of the B senior class having a like record, and 15 per cent of the A senior class having at least a 2. average. Meetings of the society have been held during fourth hour or at an extended advisory period, be- cause so many students work after school. A special meeting brought Carleton Mills, war veteran, who related his experiences in a hospital in Austria, in the Stalag Luft 3 prison camp, and in the Frankfort rest homes. He spoke in detail of the trip back to the United States on the Gripsholm. Mrs. I.uclla B. Cook of the Curriculum Department of the Board of Education was the speaker at a luncheon held December 13. Dr. Walter Judd. Fifth District Congressman, as guest of the Honor Society on January 10, emphasized the problems of our returning war veterans and of our post-war future. In accordance with the plan initiated a year ago, the Society entertained B sophomores with an honor rating for the first six weeks, and those in 10A who had an honor rating in 10B. STUDENT COUNCIL • During the fall term a new system of student government was inaugurated. The previous spring council had adopted a new constitution which united the junior and senior councils into one student council. This constitution provided for one representative from each home room, and one for every thirty A” seniors. Under the leadership of Frank Bruce the council functioned very efficiently through the use of committees. Miss Thomas guided the council as the faculty adviser. The spring council membership was increased by an amendment which added to the membership of the council the vice presidents of the Honor Society, the All Central Hi-Y, the Blue Tri. the Silver Tri, the Girls’ Club, and the G. A. A. Also, a representative from the following: Ncu-s. banking, and the Red Cross. This amendment brought into the council more experienced leaders. Mr. Classon, the faculty adviser, worked very diligently to make the Student Council a more active organization in student affairs. The active standing committees that carried out the work of the Council were: conduct, assembly, social, lawn, service, lunchroom, hall, library, and publicity. It is believed that this year’s council set a new high in student participation in school government at Central High. LATIN CLUB • The Latin Club in the past year has increased its membership many times over and is now one of the leading clubs in the school under the guidance of Miss Estelle Conway. On the second Tuesday in November, 1944, the club members met in the teachers' lunchroom for the banquet. The students were dressed in Roman togas and other clothes of that day. This year the patriotic service of the club was its contributions to the Greek War Relief. MIMES AND MUMMERS • Membership in the dramatic club is limited to thirty, and those admitted had to pass try-outs” which consisted of some reading or recitation before the coach and club members. Maintaining a passing mark in all subjects the previous semester, and being voted upon by the members of the club are other requirements. It is under the direction of Miss Lorine Grosz. • LATIN CLUB—ffrU Ron S. Telecky. C. Granlund. J. I ok. ken, J. Hunt, J. Matchka. C. Andrrton. J. Ottre.m, R. Brrne. Vromi Ron B Shea. J. M. Prtrr.cn.
