I ' H 1 ' . r A M A R A f K J A N U A R Y 1 9 3 6 Class History — --c — A bewildered tlirong of green humanity entered North Central ' s institution of higher learning Kel)ruHry 1, 19.S2. We were not oniy looking forward to good times but also to an increase in our knowledge in order to fulfill our future ambitions. Our freshman year was one of great importance because of our radiat- ing personalities and eagerness to get ahead. In 19 J we were reenforced by Havermale graduates who were eager to enter in and further the increasing enthusiasm of our high spirited sophomore class. Time Marches On Our junior year was one of grea.t i)repara- tion — getting ready for the notable achieve- ments that were to take jilace the coming year. Yes, time had marched on, for we were now upper classmen — sitting two in a seat near the front of the auditorium during con- vocations. TiMK Marchks On Senior 1$! Kah! Hah! , Senior li ! Hah! Hah! — Things began to happen. Election of officers made Neil Dickson, president; Maxine .McKarland, vice president; Virginia Locke, secretary; Don Davi.s, treasurer; Huck Stevens, sergeant at arms; and Bill Jesmcr, yell leader. During our .senior year, most of us devia.ted from our childish ideas and plunged deep into some school activity. The Boys ' Federation will miss the good work of Phil Frazier, who first served as treasurer, but soon was elected l)residcnt. Other members who held offices in the Federation were: Don Davis, financial secretary and Neil Dickson, clerk. The girls in our class who were successful in receiving offices in the Girl.s ' League are: Marga.ret Hoffman, president; Muriel Lund, vice ))resident; Mellia Anderson, secretary; and Kuby Kogers, treasurer. As time marched on, we soon came up the task of electing our Senior A officers. They were indeed well chosen as the highest office was held by Don DavLs, assisted by Maxine McFarland. Pauline .Miller, Jack ( ra.wford, Marvin Kull and Bill Jesmer. Under the capable direction of these officers, members of our cla.ss have performed mighty deeds in the name of the Indians. Very few of our class indulged in sport. However, we were ])roud to have Buck Stev- ens, captain of the 193.5 football team, in our mid.st. With the aid of his fellow members John Bixby, Ha.rdifi Holter and Phil Kincaid he was able to l)rlng the team thnmgh a suc- cessful season. We will indeed not make cap- tious objections as to our football princess, for Joy Thompson really deserved the title. Fal Thurber and Byron Stei)iian were instrumental in bringing the cro.ss country cliampionsliip to North Central for tlie first time in several years. For three years, CJladys Wellhauser and Doris Kichelbcrger worked faithfully on the debate team. They were instrumental in ob- taining the Harvard Del)ate troi)hy for the second consecutive year for North Central. A series of one act plays were given throughout the semester by members of the Senior Dramatics class. The plays given were: Three ' s a Crowd, Babbitt ' s Boy, In Hospital, Our Kind, and Bedroom Suite. School activities and u)) to the minute gossij) were printed weekly by T ' he North Central News under the direction of Maxine McFar- land, editor in chief. The Indian year book, the Tamarack, ap- jiearcd through the hard work and hearty co- operation of the staff. Headed by Neil Dick- son, editor, with the chief aide-de-cami s being Maxine McFarland and Frances Larsen, the January ' :il) Tamarack is one of the best ever publislied. Credit goes to all members of the staff including Nellie Carol Nelson, art editor, and the si)ecial class committees api)ointed by the president. .Marine McFarland had the highest scho- lastic record in our class with Pauline Miller ranking a close .second. Four school dances were sponsored by the Associated Student councils this semester. Lavish decorations and fine cooperation by the sponsors made them most successful. Vir- ginia Locke and Don Davis, chairman, did fine work. T1.M1: .Makciiks On Friday, the I3th— Ah — Came the operetta, —starring Muriel Lund, Agnes Dee Daniels and Marvin Kull.
