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.

Paris, France — The Follies Bergerc has opened once more and the cast includes Jo Ciilbert, Jane Weaver and Kathleen Worrell. Chicago — Phil Krazier, our fighting mayor, jilans to erect a monument in honor of Willard M. Talhott — professor of advanced psychology at the I ' n iversity of Chicago. Little Theatre off Times Square — Klash! A l)eautiful coat was seen going into the theatre at eight this evening and snuggled inside was Josephine Ditmar. Her arm was linked in the crook of a very tall ajid hand- some man — James Symbol, a noted hanker of Wall Street, is the lucky fellow. London — A mysterious kidnajjping has taken jilace and poor Doris Kichelberger is one of its vic- tims. It all hajjpened while she was returning from Marian Hartman ' s i)layboa.t on the ' I ' haine.s, hut it will turn out (). K. as soon as the fog lifts. Switzerland — Yo-Ho — I am way uj) there! were the last words of Marjorie Minor as she jierched on a lofty peak before her great calamity. Now she ' s looking for her eye pencil in the deep snow below and feeling not so toppish. Pullman, Washington — Wayne Best, jirominent senior of tlie grad- uating class of 46, was elected president of his fraternity at W. S. C. Good work brother Best — we are ))roud of you. Wayne says he en,joyed his first three frosh years the best of bis school career. San Francisco, California — Mrs. Harry Bates (our former .Margarite Snow) just returned from Kuroiie. Her trip wa.s enjoyed by the pleasure and company of those two attractive French models, u u McKinney and Bess Dow. Ethiopia — Miss Luella Zapf and Miss Bernadine Feldhahn have been i)laced in the chief Hed Cross hosi)ital as head nurses. Their excellent work while in training won tbe.se high posi- tions for the young women. We wish them much success. Duluth, Minnesota — Officer Fred Wright was successful iu breaking up a riot cau.sed by Jacqueline Jones, .lemina I.ockhead, Farron Page and .lean Red- man. It .seems the four young ladies became enraged when a street car ran into their car. The young ladies were .settling the argument with the helj) of a ball l)a.t when Officer Wright arrive l upon the scene and stopi)ed the disturliance. Strange as It Seems — Anyplace — A car, a rattle, a bum)), and a crash and sure enough fair weather or bad, our travel- ing hugs, Jimniie Cilencross and Dorothy Jcuies climb from beneath their ' ' Mth wreck and say nonchalantly Hi, Kid. Hong Kong — Harriet Sullivan and Aurora Steinhardt had to run for dear life last night l)eeau.se for the first time in their lifes they tried to work. ' I ' bey tried to show a Chinaman in a laundry how to wash a shirt. Statue of Liberty — .lust Kay Hadkey trying to get a light for his cigar off the torch on the Statue of Lib- erty. That ' s not all folks — with a very con- cerned look, Charles Neighbors is climbing to his aid with a cigarette lighter. Boys will be boys. Tittle Town — Betty Lyon selling dolls to all the little tots. Now with a store of her own dolls she sells till father has milked the cows. Ju.st a farmer ' s wife in peafe and contentment. Pittsburg, Pennsylvania — Joy Thomp.son turned out to be Thomi)Son ' s Joy for she was seen with that contented look on her face. .Maybe it ' s because Bob Little, a former friend of hers, is paying her a visit from her home town — need we .say Spokane? Moab — ' irginia Locke and her very dear friend, I ' auline Miller, have left for a trip to the big city. They arc planning to stay at her aunt ' s. During her stay, Virginia will consult that eminent physician. Dr. P. ,1. Caputo. It seems that she suffers from insomnia. And so Time Marches on and we l)id you a very plea.sant good night.
