THE ANNUAL REFLECTOR 9 will E5 MN, 1939 Sports Parade ENEATH the gaudy and inspiring purple and gold colors of Central High school, many an exciting sport event took place during the 1939 season. Enthusiasm for athletic contests was intensified to a greater degree by fair play and natural athletic ability that was prevalent throughout these contests. Our school was not to be denied their share of the glory allotted to the four schools. Central Junior was proud of their boys who went out to do their best for good old Central Junior. Lightweight Basketball Coach W. E. Stoner, as always, turned out a good lightweight team. These boys were: Captain Dick Judd, Ed Baldy Kelly, Alan Miles, Lyle Kubik The Midget Sparkplug, Duane Beck, Robert Tucker, Pete Rosewig, Ed Johnson, Russ Taylor, and Wally Berger. They responded to the call and easily won the championship. They won nine games and lost one. The one defeat was at the hands of Webber. These boys all won letters. Heavyweight Basketball Central heavyweights, under Coach Ken- neth Roush, stepped out into the lead in the heavyweight basketball division and were never headed. Webber pulled up to a tie in the middle of the year and came on to tie again as the season ended. Central finished winning seven and losing two games. The tenth game of the season was not played due to seven of the Central squad of ten being in bed with the flu Mainstays of the team were: Captain Marshall Longtain, Stewart Francke, and Bill Kerrigan. Soccer The soccer team did fairly well this year. There were quite a few boys on the team who liked and enjoyed playing soccer. They won three games, lost two, tied one, which does not indicate how well they could play soccer. With the exception of Captain Bob Johnson and Al Robins, all the rest lacked experience which probably was a deciding factor in not winning higher than second place. The letter winners were: Warren Tucker, Ed Stitt, Ted Jackson, Al Gatowka, Wayne Hedden, Herb Williams, John Crawford, David Palmer, Bob Johnson, Jonathan Williams, Al Robins, Sol- oman Steward, Horace Booker, Bill Evans, Chuck Stevens, Charles Scott, Robert Tuck- er, Bill Ankoviak, John Prueter, Walter Jean, Cecil Thompson, Ed Kelly. Intramural Basketball intramural basketball games were held during the winter months for entertainment and to keep boys from loitering around the halls at noon, also for the benefit of those that do not go home for lunch. Cecil Thomp- son's team won first place in the ninth-grade division, winning eight games while dropping one. Charles Scott's team won the cham- pionship in the eighth grade, and Updegraff's team in the seventh grade division. Again fair play and good will were prevalent in these games. Girls' Athletics Although the Girls' Volleyball team had to be content with a cellar position, they pro- vided many a thrill for us student spectators. Letter winners were, Evelyn Washington, Jane Williams, Elaine Slater, Kate Rohde, Geraldine Brown, Hedwig Scherzer, Marge Beyer, Evelyn Aldrich, Betty Jean Daily, Naomi Botwright, Evelyn Fiegle, Marna Stuart, Nancy Gleason, Elizabeth Smith, Josephine Jarzabkowski, Ester Hardt, We have tried to serve you efficiently this year and enjoyed doing so. We sign off for 1939 with the track meet coming up. We rest assured that Central will walk away in un- daunted glory and a very victorious 1939 Sports Parade.

THE ANNUAL REFLECTOR qffi Ml -.ap IU- The Stage Crew The stage crew, which is under the direc- tion of Messrs. Miller and Huber, is a group of boys without which a play in the auditorium could not be staged. A majority of them join at the beginning of the year and are soon transformed into a smooth-working machine which does the work behind the scenes of an auditorium play. The day before the play the boys meet on the stage at four o'clock and set stage, i.e.,,set up the flats which you see as a room in a house, a scene in a garden, or a scene in the cold, bleak mountains of Norway. The day of the show the boys are excused from fourth and fifth-hour classes where they meet back- stage.There the electrician checks his circuits, property man checks his props and the set properties are put in place. Saturday morning the boys again gather and strike set, that is, take it down. If you saw The Scarecrow Creeps you probably wondered how the effects were pro- duced. First the thunder. This is caused by shaking a long sheet of metal at the bottom. The lightning was made by what is known as the carbon and file method. A bunch light is connected up but the circuit is broken. On one end of the break is a iile and a stick of carbon on the other. When the carbon is rub- bed on the ile, it ilashes the light in a real- istic manner. The members of the crew are: Stage man- ger, Morris Luederg assistant stage manager, Donald Allison, stagemen, Jack Allison, Bur- nell Loder, Allen Alcorn. Henry Moore, Dick Whitney, Nelson Joyner, Bob Gilman, Marion Kostrzewa and Wayne Hedden.
