Dedication To our dear friend and guide, to whom we, the class of ' 47 give a note of thanks for showing us the right road. Mary Jane Hornback. Vocational School Battle Creek, Michigan DR. ROGERS Doctor Virgil M. Rogers has spent the last twenty-five years as a teacher in elementary, junior and senior high schools: as principal of junior and senior high schools and as superintendent of schools. Dr. Rogers received his B.A. degree from Wofford College. The Master ' s Degree in Educational Administration was awarded at Western State College of Colorado. He received his Doctor ' s degree in Education at Teacher ' s College, Columbia University. He is a member of the graduate educa- tional fraternity. Phi Delta Kappa. His college work was interrupted when he en- listed in the Field Artillery during World War I. After the war period he completed his degree and went West. Two years ago Doctor Rogers left the position of Superintendent of the River For- rest, Illinois public schools to come to Bat- tle Creek and take over the position of Superintendent of schools. Superintendent Rogers is an active mem- ber of many associations and clubs. Among these are the American Association of School Administrators, the National Edu- cational Association, the American Legion, The Rotary Club and others. Dr. Rogers has served as guest faculty at several large universities. We have enjoyed the guidance Dr. Rogers has given us and sincerely hope he will continue on in future years. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mrs. George N. Cannon, Secretary; Robert F. Brevitz, Treasurer; Boyd H. Redner; Raymond B. Roof, President; Samuel G. Gorsline, Vice-President; Edwin L. Harding; Wendell E. Doty. SCHOOL BOARD Elected by the people to administer the business of the schools, including the spending of money, school improve- ments, and repairs, selecting teaching methods and instructors, is the School Board consisting of seven members. They are the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and three trustees. MR. HALVERSON Although Mr. Halverson has been prin- cipal in the public schools, he is new to us in the High School this year. Those who have come in contact with him have found him to be an experienced, and sympathetic friend and worthy advisor. His congenial manner and democratic way has not only helped the faculty, but has helped the student ' s interest in school par- ticipation. His patient understanding and guiding interest will give us reason to look back in future years. DEANS Ruth C. Penfy, M.A. Dean of Girls John W. Postma, M.A. Dean of Bovs ' and Veterans ' Counselor RUTH PENTY In her work as Dean of Girls, Ruth Penty, has helped students solve their problem, giving sympathetic and help- fu l counsel in a spirit which evidences her genuine interest in young people. She is Faculty Advisor of the Student Council, in which she helps the mem- bers to solve the problems of the school and helps to guide them in planning activities for the benefit of the student. She is also Advisor of the Daughters of Liberty, in which every girl of the school is a member. JOHN W. POSTMA In his work as Dean of Boys, John W. Postma has done a remarkable job in guiding and directing the students of Battle Creek Central. He is the Advisor for the returned veterans, who have come back to finish high school or prepare for college. He is the Advisor of the Commence- ment Program, in which he has served as a very worthy advisor. SUPERVISORS W. M. Alexander, Ph.D. Director of Curriculum and Guidance Roberl S. Hale. B.S.

OUR JO TWO OF A KIND SHIRLEY AND PEANUTS EDITOR AND MANAGER DON AT GOGUAC National Honor Society 58 members of the class of 1947 became members of the National Honor Society. This is a great honor because the National Honor Society is to high school as Phi Beta Kappa is to college. Students are chosen by a special faculty committee according to their scholastic record. Any student who is a member of the National Honor Society can be justly proud be- cause it takes both above average intelligence and many evenings of laboring over home- work to get all of those A ' s needed to be in the upper 15 ' i of the graduating class. This year the National Honor Society gave competitive examinations for scholarships to the upper fifth of its members who intended to enter college next year. 15 students in Central took these tests.

K. Kellogg Auditorium on November 27th. The play follows the trials of George and Terry Mclntyre, the unsophisticated teen-age children of a univer- sity professor. Terry who has always been a tomboy and played with the neighborhood gang of boys suddenly finds herself not wanted by them. She then decides to become more fem- inine and she and her brother give a party at which she expects to show everyone how grown up she has become. Of course, everything goes wrong at the party, but by the end of the play everything is straightened out and everyone is happy. The setting, one of the most unigue ever used for a Central play, was the patio of the Mclntyre residence in Northern California. It was designed and built by Mr. Max Grant.

The Student Council proved to be a successful and efficient organization this year. The foremost project was the backing of the War Memorial Stadium with Central com- ing out on top in selling memberships. At the beginning of the year the Council took action and set off a section of reserved seats at all football games for the patients of Percy Jones. It also developed an organized cheering section for the Kazoo game. Many out of town conferences were attended by Council members. The most prominent conference was the St. Mary ' s Lake Workshop, which was the foundation for the beginning of the All-City Student Council. 5-A League and state conferences were also attended. The Student Council carried on the furnishing of the Social Room, which was started by last year ' s Council. Drapes were hung at the windows, a recorder and amplifier were purchased, and a back-drop for the stage put the finishing touch on the project. Many school problems, such as dance etiguette, awarding of letters to activities other than athletic participation, and the senior exam guestion were handled and solved by the group. One hundred dollars was earned and sent to Cavite to assist in their school re- building program and money and school supplies were sent through the Red Cross for educational reconstruction in Europe. The Council worked on the problem of solving the Vocational Bridge tie-up and adopted the plan of using traffic guards, which proved successful. The renovation and furnishing of D-floor is being carried on as the second big proj- ect and the Council hopes to hold its meetings there when the necessary eguipment is pur- chased.

The Central Key The Central Key, coming out every two weeks, has proved to be one of the greatest sources of student interest in our school. The Key prints the news of every school activity from the Senior Prom to the Homeroom Basket- ball League, and throws in popular gossip besides. The thorough coverage of the news is due to the untiring efforts of the Editor-in- Chief, Shirley Oster, and her staff of able reporters. Scoops are of a second nature to the Key. The Key informed the school of the results of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Paean elections, besides the cast of the Senior Play. The most popular issue of the Key came out on April 1, under the name of The Lock Opener. This satirical issue was the Key Staff ' s way of saying April Fool to the rest of the school. FIRST ROW: M.

Daughters of Liberty Every girl upon entering high school automatically becomes a member of the Daugh- ters of Liberty. This organization sponsors activities throughout the school year that are of interest to most girls. This year a system was organized by which every girl could be reached through her homeroom representative and encouraged to attend and take an active part in the Daughters of Liberty program. In an effort to keep interest high the Daughters of Liberty Board tried to plan to have at least one activity for each month. The year was started off by welcoming the Sophomore girls with a tea and by helping them get acquainted with the girls clubs in high school through an assembly in which all the clubs took part. During the Christmas season the D. of L. presented a program and tea especially for their mothers. They were fortunate to be able to give their Banquet in the high school cafeteria. To help round out the year, at one of the meetings foreign war brides came and talked about the countries from which they came and some of their many interesting experiences. In an all girl assembly Dr. Alice Keliher led a very helpful panel discussion on topics the girls themselves suggested. And the year wouldn ' t be complete without the annual Fall Frolic and the May Party. Needless to say they were both a huge success. Daughters of Liberty Some of the service projects undertaken by the Daughters of Liberty were a tag sale to collect money for the Percy Jones Magazine Fund, contributing towards the purchase of tea service for the school, and buying mirrors for the teachers ' restrooms. We hope that in the future the Daughters of Liberty will continue its very worthwhile program and that as the years go by more and more girls will take an active part in this organization. D. OF L.

Debate 1946-47 was a banner year for debating at Central. As a member of both the 5-A and Michigan High School Forensic leagues, Central ' s debaters participated in sixteen debates in the preliminary series. Two teams were used in each debate — one affirmative and one negative. Besides the 5-A schools Battle Creek debaters met Grand Rapids Union, Grand Ledge, and Howell. In the 5-A league, Central tied with Lansing Eastern for second place with five wins and two losses. In fact, Battle Creek qualified in both leagues for the district elimination tournament and a wall plaque for excellence in debating. At the District Elimination Tournament at Kalamazoo February 13, Battle Creek was vic- torious, winning over the other five schools — Muskegon Heights, State High, Hudsonville, Galesburg, and Albion. This victory brought a gold banner and placed Battle Creek in the quarter-finals for state championship, one of eiqht schools left in the competition. How- ever, in the quarter-finals at Flint Central, February 28th, Battle Creek lost by the narrow margin of a two to one decision of the judges. Flint Central went on to become State Champion. This year ' s debate squad was the largest in the school ' s history and also had the most extensive schedule. Seventeen debaters completed the semester ' s work. Everyone partici- pated in at least two inter-scholastic practice debates. They took second place in the 5-A prac- tice tournament on October 24. On November 2, Battle Creek had ten teams at the State Practice Tournament at Lansing. This year Central ' s debaters have participated in nineteen decision and fifty practice debates. With eight experienced varsity debaters back next year. Battle Creek should rank high in debating next year.

Players ' Club The Players ' Club has had a busy year, with many and varied activities. Starting off with the party for new members in September, the club then presented the annual Kalamazoo Pep Assembly in November. This year it featured a football game between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek in the year 1890. It was written and directed by Jo Sherburne. The Christmas play, written by Mrs. Jane Farley Norman, had a part for nearly everyone in the club. Accenting the three holidays in February, Lincoln ' s Birthday, Valentine ' s Day, and Washington ' s Birthday, the club gave a Hearts and Heroes party. A one act play, Sup- pressed Desires , directed by Jo Sherburne, was presented in an assembly. The cast in- cluded James Smith, Joyce Manning, and Doris Hawthorne. Other activities throughout the year included a scavenger hunt and an end of the year picnic.

This year the club ' s funds have been used to buy Spanish records, games, and crossword puzzles. One of the main events of the year is the Pan American assembly, in which the Span- ish department cooperates with the French, Latin, and Music departments to put on one of the best assemblies of the year.

Students joining the club purchase as many addresses as they wish of students living in other coun- tries. Spanish students usally correspond with young people in Spanish speaking countries and French students enjoy writing to young people who speak French. Many students write at least part of their letters in the language they are studying. Of course, correspondence is carried on with countries where other languages than French and Spanish are spoken. Members of the club receive letters from Egypt, Palestine, England, and other countries all over the world. At Pan American Club meetings members read and discuss letters they have re- ceived from their pen pals. Miss Madge Burnham is the capable adviser of the group. It is groups like this club which help to tie up all countries of different languages, customs, and beliefs into One World, by creating and understanding of the countries through corresponding with their people.

Le Cercle Francais (FRENCH CLUB) Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, is an organization formed to promote the students interest in the French language and in the French speaking countries. The meetings are held every two weeks. The first part of the meeting is usually devoted to business, but the meeting ends with games or other divertisements. The majority of the members of the French Club have correspondents in other coun- tries and find the letters they receive very interesting. OFFICERS President Bruce Butler Treasurer LaVerne Johnson Vice-President Herbert Burtis Adviser Miss Walters Secretary Pat Dodge Modern Dance One of the newer activities in the High School this year was the modern dance club. Before we worked on a composition, we practiced dance techniques, had limbering exercises and created rhythm patterns. The adviser of our newly formed club was Miss Jacqueline Barrett who practiced along with us and made the after school practices much more enjoyable. Wednesday was the day set aside for our practices at which time we donned our shorts and went to the girls ' gym to practice. Our first composition School Daze was completed in the Spring. This dance rep- resented the graduation class reminiscing their past three years in High School with shy sophomores, know-it-all juniors, and sophisticated Seniors. Another composition on which we spent many days of practice was Rhapsody in Blue . FIRST ROW: N. Bouzan. P. Coller. J. Frick. V. Spriggs, J. Barrett, Adviser; S. Morris, M. Johnston, J. Pelto. B.

The new wine colored uniforms which the girls made to match the boys uniforms helped to give the ushers a business like appearance which was impossible to achieve during the past few years when material for new uniforms was unavailable. The 46-47 season of ushering began with the initiation at which new members were tested to see if they could take it. Needless to say, everyone lived through it and found that ushering could be a lot of fun. Among the events for which the club ushered this year were, Spike Jones, World-At-Our-Door lectures, Wildlife films, the Band Follies , the Junior and Senior Plays, and concerts, lectures, and Hillbilly shows. A member earns a certain number of points each time he ushers. If at the end of the semester he has the reguired number of points, the semester is counted towards his pin and guard. After two semesters of ushering, a member is given a gold filled pin by the club. At the end of the third semester he receives his guard with the year of his gradua- tion on it. Every member of the Usher Club can be proud to wear his pin and guard for they stand for many hours spent in serving the school and the community by ushering. Belonging to the Usher Club is not all work. This year the club has cooperated with the Science Club and rented the skating rink for the evening on several occasions for roller skating parties. The club also had a Christmas party and a spring picnic at which officers for the next season were elected.

Some of the most heated issues were: The F.E.P.C. Bill, the Palestine Problem, the Greek Situation, the 49th State, and Presidential Candidates. The club met once a week on Friday under the leadership of Miss Cook. A chair- man was chosen for each meeting. Although the club was small in membership, the members found the meetings, inter- esting and educational.

The club organized several committees that efficiently carried on the business of the club. One of the most active was the Program Committee, which invited several members of the faculty in to speak. The high-light of the club meetings was the Christ- mas meeting and party. Membership in this club is open to any Centralite with a hobby.

Among the books reviewed this year were Star of The Unborn reviewed by Jane Kolb and Paris Underground reviewed by Mary Fraser. Joyce Phares gave a review of East River and Nan Wencke gave one on Lydia Bailey . Any student who enjoys reading and talking about books may join the Book Club. At the meetings one might hear a report on her favorite book or perhaps a review of just the book sh e had been wanting to know about but couldn ' t find time to read.

All year long the Science Club, 134 strong, was busy watching the wheels of Science turn. The big event of the year was the trip to Chicago where they visited many interesting places. Several other trips were taken to near by factories here in Battle Creek. The Science Club had several interesting speakers at their meetings, which were held once or twice a month. An interesting and educational time was had by all members of the club. Any student who is taking or has taken any of the three scientific subjects offered at Central, biology, chemistry, or physics, may join the club.

Besides giving splendid and fascinating exhibitions at all of the football games, they played at various pep assem- blies. Special concerts were given and broadcasts to Percy Jones General Hospital. They climaxed the season by playing very well at the annual spring concert. A dance was held after this concert and the proceeds went to the P.T.S.O. All in all we are very proud of our band for the fine performances it has aiven. . f f f !•  Orchestra The orchestra ended a very successful year at the Senior Play, May 2. Under the direction of Mr. Paul Tammi, the group gave several impressive programs. Besides playing at the Junior and Senior plays, it also helped out at the Band Follies and participated in the annual Spring Concert held April 23. The orchestra did a very admirable job on all these occasions and we will all agree that it had a very eventful and outstanding year. Band Follies On January 15 and 16 the Band Follies were presented to a full house. The crowd enjoyed it very much and many say it was the best one ever given. The setting was in a Sultan ' s court and he was royally entertained. Dick Loutit acted as the Chamberlain and did a fine job. The show contained a lot of variety which is essential to a well liked per- formance. The main feature of the program was the harem dance in which six girls dressed as members of the Sultan ' s harem, did a very appropriate dance. They appeared twice on the program. All in all, it was a very successful event and one that will be long re- membered. HOT BAND SHORTNIN ' BREAD WITH THE MIXED QUARTET THE HAREM GIRLS DANCED JACK FULLER.

Breezing through their first three games with three successive wins, it seemed that we had uncovered a secret weapon of our own. One of them was a prize 21-0 victory over Jackson, and 41-0 defeat of Albion which was the largest score vet in this series of long standing. Then, Lansing Eastern tied us 6-6 in a very surprising ball game. Ann Arbor, Lansing Sexton, and Muskegon then tasted the sweet fruits of victory after defeating the team in three hard fought games. Then as a climax to a successful season, we defeated a tough Kalamazoo team who had been rated third in the state by a close 6-0 margin.

They played their best ball against Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo, defeating Benton Harbor for the first time in 4 years and splitting with Kalamazoo in two games which helped to make it a successful season after all.

The paddlers captured their sixteenth league title in seventeen years, defeating the rest of the teams with almost no competition and scoring more points than the rest of the schools together. The state title wasn ' t won quite so easily, but the competitive spirit of the team couldn ' t be stopped, even after injuries had threatened to halt their title hopes. Therefore, another jewel was added to Battle Creek ' s swimming crown. Twenty-eight Varsity letters were awarded at the end of the season.

Over Hill and Dale Under the capable direction of Coach Bob Mowerson, the Battle Creek Harriers ad- vanced this hard sport another rung on its way up to becoming a varsity sport, and taking its place among the major sports of Battle Creek High School. Team balance was the key to the Bearcats success this year, as they emerged vic- torious in three out of seven dual meets. They climaxed the season by placing third in the conference and fifth in the state finals. The Bearcats started the season by defeating Lansing Sexton 20-36, then lost a close meet to Charlotte 23-32. Hastings fell defeated 18-28. Kalamazoo defeated the harriers 23-34. Lansing Eastern fell prey 18-38. The Five-A Conference meet was held at Ann Arbor this year at the Hills Park course, in which Battle Creek placed third.

Due to the planning of the Board, we had the first girls ' award assembly ever witnessed in Central by the whole school. The number of points reguired for the numeral of the graduating year is 300 points. The second award, the monogram B. C, reguires 600 points, while the highest award, the G.A.A. pin, reguires 900 points. 75 points are given for each major sport and 25 points are given for minor sports, pro- viding the member attends at least two-thirds of the after school practices. This has been the best year for the G.A.A. with more girls coming out for practices in the various sports. We are hoping that the Future will bring more and more girls who find their interests in sports. The sponsors of the Girls Athletic Association this year were Miss Claribel Husted, Miss Jacgueline Barrett, and Mrs. Lola Sparks.
