w Cantu High 9W MINNEAPOUQ, MINNEQOVX CENTAURION 966 x VOLUME V FOREWORD Brooklyn Center High School is an important part of its students' lives. It is here we spend six and one-half hours every day; here we absorb knowl- edge; here we probe our talents and have new experiences. Here we meet our friends, and we start our life that prepares us to become more adult citizens. Since our school had its beginning five years ago, our interested and enthusiastic student body, our dedicated faculty and our concerned school board have developed it into a respected establishment. In our first four years our school achieved accreditation from North Central Accreditation Association. We have won awards and championships, we have achieved new scholastic heights and have had many successful plays and concerts . The years we spend in school are important and memorable ones. So that we will never forget them, the yearbook staff would like to present a picture story of our life from seventh to twelfth grade. Thus the staff dedicates this book to the students of Brooklyn Center High School.

This same thing may be applied to our school. Without the School Board and the Ad- ministration acting as the brain , BCHS wouldn't survive . We're fortu- nate to have such capable men to organize and guide the school's actions and policies.

BHCS may not be the largest school in the area, but it is probably the happiest, and the healthiest one. This is due to the fine people we have guid- ing us. The nurse takes care of our starving athletes, the ladies in the office take time out of their busy schedules to help us find all the mate- rials we need, and the counselors devote their time to keeping the students happy, well-adjusted and fairly normal.

AS you can see, the teachers in the English department do far more than teach English to unwilling students . They are involved in numerous extra-cirricular activities . As ad- visors, these teachers give much of their free time to help make our clubs more successful. DR. CLEMENT HOLLAND English 12, B.A., M.A., Ph. D. MR.

QTUDENF LIFE Dances, meetings, assemblies, pep fests, field trips, plays--these are all a part of life at B.C . Activities add fun and excitement to the school year. Don't you remember the excitement of prom, the nervousness before the show, the thrill of seeing Shakespeare, the laughs of the Judo exhibition? These are all part of school and students enjoy them. After all no one wants to work all the time. When one enters school as a seventh grader, shy and unknowing, activities are few . It takes five years of practice to get as busy as a senior. As you Will see on the following pages B.C. offers many many opportunities for you to pursue your interests and at the same time expand your knowledge . 1 965 Drum rolls indicate mounting tension The BCHS student saw the many home- coming events--the anxious looks on candidates' faces, the smile of joy on the queen's face, and the bright yellow 0f the bonfire. He heard the crackling flames and the spirited outcries of the cheerleaders. Outside at the bonfire Joan is Queen Lonnie Nelson leads the cheers at the bonfire , Wxivpyexz' V w W. Wwww.

Let her stay! ! Rule with a firm hand. Mirror mirror on the wall. . . The student at BCHS also saw the production of The Miracle Worker Watching the play and experiencing the unfolding of the plot, the student was given a tiny glimpse into the dark, dark, silent world of a deaf, dumb, and blind child. Besides dis- covering things about the handicapped child, the student also was shown more of the fine talent which our school possesses. 20 QADIE HAWKINQ Sadie Hawkins is an annual event sponsored by the Yearbook Staff. Each girl can invite her Lil Abner to the dance, where she slyly maneuvers him to the Hitchin' Post so that Marryin' Sam will bind them in solemn CD wedlock for one evening . tTOPi Let's us just sit this here one out. tABOVEi Which is the best-dressed couple in Dogpatch?

THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER Mr. Whiteside is injured On May sixth and seventh, the drama department presented the Hart-Kaufman comedy, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, under the direction of Mrs. Lipke. Students, parents, and friends Who saw the production went home after- ward still commenting on the many up- roarious incidents involved in the unfolding of the plot. Oh! Mr. Whiteside! OJ Nurse up in arms. Banjo comes to celebrate Christmas Curtain call POP CONCEPT W Enng WM Little Bo -P eep Skits with Mother Goose themes Each year since the opening of our school, the band has given a pop concert. As its theme, the band chooses a particular country Whose music and customs it por- trays in unusual ways, as you can see. There was a sample of contemporary English music. Another example of the band's many and varied talents. 24 Auf Wiedersehn THE MUQIO When the curtains opened on this year's production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, under the direction of Mr. Robert Spong, members of the B.C .H.S. concert choir experienced one of the most thrilling moments of this school year. Joan Ballinger, in her part of Maria Rainer, added A Crazy planet full of crazy people much sparkle and life to the ShOW, While B111 Schoppert portrayed a very stern, but sensitive Captain Von Trapp . Nor shall we forget the marching feet of the seven Von Trapp children, whose antics won the hearts of all. With the help of Mrs. Lipke, Mr. McDermott, Mr. Verrett, and many others, the weeks of hard work were climaxed by four well-received performances . Guten Tag How do you solve a problem like Maria? QENIOB BANQUET 41W Senior Banquet is an event to which the senior class looks forward for many months. At the banquet of the class of '66, there was good food to be eaten, and a hilarious skit to be watched. As you can see, not only the seniors, but also the teachers and advisors got into the swing of the thing! Mistress of Cer- emonies, Maureen Hueser, led us on a trip back through our foggy memories, through junior high and its agonies, and through our days as underclassmen. Finally, we were reminded of a few of the things that happened during our sen- ior year. We thought that Mr. Brannon deserved a token of our appreciation The girls re-enact their first appear- ance as centaurettes with costumes Mr. Stave, Modern Problems bare -but-there . teacher, was crowned Miss America by the class of '66 because he is so well- balanced . Remember that shy football captain? This year the juniors presented to the sen- iors a prom With the theme of Stardust. Everyone had a wonderful time at the beau- tiful Wayzata Country Club. Above we see some prom -goers just leaving. Parents always love to take pictures. The dancing, the chatter, and the punch are always important and fun parts of the prom. Even after a long night, it's part of the fun to get up the next morning and go on the traditional picnic to Taylor's Falls. PUBUCGHONQ Each year we like to keep something With which to remember our school ac- tivities, friends, and teachers. The school yearbook serves this purpose. It is the duty of the yearbook staff to create a picture record of the school year. Staff members must maintain a Gig average and be in grades 11 and 12 to work on the yearbook.

Concert Band of 1965-1966 has been described by Director Richard Papke as having the greatest potential in the history of B.C .I-I.S. This band has proved its talents in many appearances throughout the year. The marching band traveled to Moorhead, Minnesota, for three days in June to repre- sent the Brooklyn Center Lions Club at the Annual International Lions Parade. Our band placed fifth among over forty participating bands. In July the marching band appeared at the Annual Aquatennial Torchlight Parade, placing fifth in the high school band division. The major fall activity of the marching band was the 1965 Homecoming game half-time show, planned entirely by the senior band members. The climax of the winter season was the concert band's Fourth Annual Concert pre- sented February 5. The spring band efforts will be toward the fifth annual Pop Con- cert in England, when a bit of the England swing will be brought to B. C. Throughout the school year the band was called upon for other appearances within the community. 42 BLE B. O. BAND G. Gifford; D. Quinzon; D. Swearingen; A. Salmela; M. Beffa; 8. Auburn; B.

Many of them started their sport as junior high stu- dents on a junior high team, progres- sing to the Freshmen Squad, to B Squad and finally--Varsity. As they move forward in their sport these boys become more skilled in their game, learn new terminology, and rise to greater heights . During the games we hear from the spectators such names as Chimp, Leo, Cyclops, Slink, Oscar, Rosie, Zigoons, Vince, Engie, and Pepe.

Brooklyn Center reflected its best in Chuck Hall who was voted Most Valuable Player and selected for the Skyline All-Conference Team. Ed Holloway led the team in tackles and set a new record. Although they lost the game 14-21, the Centaurs gave Osseo the toughest battle that the Orioles had all season. A highlight of that game was the tackle-eligible play, employing the pass receiving and run- ning ability of senior John Pettman, a tackle. The Centaurs ended the season with a notable 12-0 Victory over St. Paul Park. The gridders will return next season in their hard-hitting fashion with eleven lettermen, led by co-captains Jack Ward and Dick Fryer.

IPACIC Our track team improved greatly, as the Centaurs moved up 3 places this year in our conference. School records were set this year by Don Hendrickson in the high and low hurdles, by Tim Dubois in the 60 and 100 yard dash, by Len Potvin in the mile, by Keith Gunderson in the high jump, by Rob Whinnery in the shot-put, by Dick Fryer in the discus, and by Larry Duoos and John Storm in the pole vault. All but one of the school records were broken by underclassmen, so this team will undoubtedly be great in the future. This year's captains were Keith Gunderson and Chuck Hall.

Nelson, L. Douglas, L. Nelson. This year's A SQUAD CHEERLEADERS were the best ever as they cheered the Centaurs on to Victory at football and basketball games. With Miss Sherry's help, they held dances and washed cars to raise money for uniforms . The girls showed off their dancing skills as they traded places With the Centaurettes for a pepfest Which turned out to be fun for all. Sno-Week, planned and carried out by the cheerleaders, was a huge success as the Week of festivities was climaxed by Victories in all four winter sports. A great deal of gratitude is extended from all of the students at BCHS to the cheerleaders, for all of the girls' hard work and undying spirit throughout the school year. Laurie Lonnie Adele Shirley Gail Lynri 60 Bil gMD This year the B SQUAD CHEERe LEADERS have been very busy girls. Along with practices and pepfests, they have also cheered at B squad football games. In the winter they were supposed to be two places at once; but, no problem for these go-getters. By dividing the squad, they led fans at both wrestling meets and basketball games. The HOCKEY CHEERLEADERS must be not only hard workers, but good luck charms as well. Besides helping out in home- coming activities and being in pepfests, the girls have cheered for the pucksters at every game. Again this year the team came up With the title and no wonder; With these fans on your side, how can you lose? L. TO R.: Sandy Lottie, Cheryl Bergstrom, Barb Bergstrom, Connie Bruss, Marsha Carlock.

War, nearest living relative, whipped, economics, Hail, hail to Brooklyn High. . . . there were words most familiar to our senior year. They were part of the pattern that made our year. The class of sixty-six was busy this past year. We were the leaders of the school. Perhaps some of us will be leaders of the future. Each of us moves on into the world of adults, and into the world that is far differ- ent from our high school world. So we treasured this last year with each passing moment. We look back with nostalgia at what is now gone and we remember. . . . . Decorating for homecoming. . . .each senior locker individually decorated. Joan's gasp of surprise as she was picked homecoming queen. Or the game we tried valiantly to win--but failed. The football games--crisp, cold nights; the bus rides, the songs and cheers; the victories and the losses. The Miracle Worker . . .Bill carrying Mary down the ladder, or Mary wrestling across stage with Helen Keller. We give our utmost thanks to our senior class advisors--they helped us with plans and activities and were an asset to our class. 77 MOQ' U KELYTO QUOOEED JUDY ALFORD LYNN AMMEND MARY WHEELER 8 JOHN KOKESH SANDRA AMUNDSON BETTY ANDERSON STEVE ANDREWJFSKI JEFF AZEN JUDY BAKER JOAN BALLINGER BIGGEQT FUPJQ CONSTANCE BENSON BILL DUNKLEY 8 KATHY BRYAN BARBARA BERGREN JANICE BERRY RICHARD BIENAPFL KAREN BISTODEAU SUSAN BONSTROM ROBERT BOUCHER 79 NANCY BRODIN MAUREEN HUESER 8 BEN THOMPSON KATHERINE BRYAN Looking back on our Senior year, which passes much too quickly for many of us, we remember Sadie Hawkins with Janet Bursch receiving the honored title of Daisy Mae and those charming cheerleaders who were featured at Donkey Basketball.

TOPTF-HQI Family living is an elective course offered to senior girls. The girls learn a variety of things that will be useful later in life. In the picture below a group of girls are preparing for the nursery school Which they manage each spring. 85 Extra-curricular activities take up much time after school. While some of us run to the stage, bandrpom or choir room, others head for the field, or to cheerleading or centaurette practice. To each of us our activities are a source of much enjoyment and fulfillment. The student continues his various projects at home. For the most part, his day ends by hitting the books.

These words do describe the spe- cial day of GRADUATION. Each senior realized the fulfillment of his first main goal-and each stood ready to create and pursue new ones. Preparations are hurried and hectic! Unfamiliar garments and nervous fingers require assistance. The strains of Pomp and Circumstance set the tempo. Senior honor students Mary Wheeler, Nancy Brodin, and Ed Holloway talked about making goals and planning for the future. 92 The long march to the stage goes past rows of waiting families and friends.

Though the main reason for school is for educational purposes, activities also play a very important part in the school day. In our school the variety of activities is almost unlimited, therefore each student can join at LEAST one. The activities we participate in, will eventually make us better students and, in the future, better citizens. They teach us to be aware of the world around us and to work well with others.
