Center High School - Yellow Jacket Yearbook (Kansas City, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1974 volume:

Pat Bickle has become a well-known name around Kansas City, with good reason. On Saturday night, September 29, Pat, who was playing defensive linebacker in a game against Oak Park, was seriously injured in an attempt to tackle an opposing player. He suffered a broken neck and spinal cord injuries that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Shortly after the accident, Pat underwent surgery. The doctors gave him a 20% chance of recovery. By Tuesday of that week, they were giving him one chance in a hundred of walking again. It seemed that, once the news was out, all Kansas City wanted to get involved. Over $50,000.00 was collected for Pat, highlighted by the Pat Bickle Benefit Double-Header at Arrowhead. Finally, arrangements were made for taking Pat to the Craig Rehabilitation Center in Denver, where it is the job of their staff to “help people regain the use of their bodies, if possible, or to help them learn how to function as whole people in spite of a physical disability, if necessary.” According to the papers, Pat knows a patient who was, at one time, in the same condition as himself. But one day, a foot moved and then something else and now he’s walking. Pat is optimistic about his own recovery. He has a great attitude and a lot of faith. Because of that, we have an obligation to always have faith in him. On that Saturday night, before anyone knew what the extremities of Pat’s injury were, the spectators at that football game were waiting for the moment relatively familiar to football fans ... the moment when a player walks off the field to rest or have an ankle taped before returning to the game. That moment didn’t come for Pat But who of us is capable of saying that Pat’s moment will never come? Who of us is justified in saying that Pat will never walk again? Those decisions and performances do not lie in human hands. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and in honor of his faith and courage, we dedicate this Yellowjacket '74 to Pat Bickle. dedication two Id ttj “IfltnclSj ll['h't t umf Sintt b VW i(t« zd o'1 giowv mv .

And they handled it in a becoming fashion. “A Sign” expresses A Touch of Pride. introduction five ' • Fuel was scarce in some parts of the nation. It wasn’t too bad in Kansas City. But the prices! In some instances 60 a gallon. Truckers held a stoppage to protest prices. Rationing was in effect in various areas of the country on various types of fuels. Congress passed a bill for mandatory 55 MPH speed limit on the nation’s high- ways. They also put daylight savings time into effect. Remember going to school in the moonlight? Arab oil seemed to be a go-between in the fuel shortage and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Our parking lot was full almost everyday this year. It didn’t seem to af- fect us except in the wallet. Meat was running low early this school year. Demand was high. Result- Higher prices. The President put on a price freeze. People were hoarding meat for the day the country would run out. At stock markets, meat was selling at all-time lows and the farmers were holding their cattle until the freeze was lifted in hopes of skyrocketing prices. In the meantime grain for the cattle was selling at all time highs. Finally the farmers gave in and had to take the enormous loss. And we still had our always delicious Centerburgers. introduction six SHORTAGES, SPIRALING PRICES, added up to ... . IN THE MIDDLE Where werc ow when the lights went out? Although the midwest had no shortage of electrical power, the Plaza Holiday lights were turned off when the President asked all Americans to conserve energy. City officials pleaded to Washington and the lights were restored for a period every night until New Years. The U.S. was out of Vietnam, although fighting still continued it wasn’t getting the headlines like it did before. The Arabs and Israelis must have figured there was a shortage of wars at the time, so they renewed their conflict. Secretary of State Kissinger went to the Middle East and worked out a cease fire. At least for the time being. introduction seven A Touch of Pride was getting together with friends, a total dominance of females in student government, staying after school for whatever, a lounge without seniors, 4,380,625 signatures to win the Super-Q contest for Pat, but most of all A Touch of Pride was YOU. introduction nine A Touch of Pride includes “Joining In,” A time to unite in act and purpose. To come together and take part. One solid consolidated force. Does this reflect the percentage of organizations at Center? Questionable? Very!!! But they do exist to an extent. So this organization must pay homage to the others. “Joining In” includes A Touch of Pride, but did the students respond? “A Dry Alcoholic Talks About Booze”, Mr. Robert Q. Donnelly, leads discussion. During German club meeting, Bonnie Blatz and Kevin Gavin dance to music. new scheduling twelve Mr. Bill Crawley discusses the facts on the energy crisis. Hew scheduling Second semester brought a new schedule for teachers and students. Labeled a “flexible traditional schedule,” the schedule contained an opportunity period and an activity period each month. With forty minutes set aside for these periods, the first three classes were shortened fifteen minutes. The variety provided school time for club meetings, make-up tests, outside speakers, and seeking out the help of teachers. Senior Julie Grauberger added, “It’s a very helpful time to study for exams.” One of the biggest changes in the activity period from previous years was the pass. Students needed a pass to go to their activity from third hour. Senior Susan Callahan felt, “I could take care of myself and be responsible, but some students couldn’t and that’s why passes were necessary.” A few shared her view point, but the majority expressed a different feeling. “It’s too much trouble. You forget to get one, then you’re stuck in that room the entire hour,” commented Robin Nelson, senior. Whether or not this schedule was flexible enough to provide a refreshing change for students remained an unanswered question. Activity period allows Scott Martin, Joe Charmclla, and John Protzman to finish work. otters greater variety for learning The library serves as a place for research and study for students during opportunity period. new scheduling thirteen Student council officers, Deanna Constant, Kathy Unruh, Cindy Dodson, and Debbie Evans preside over Student Council Meetings. Working hard to please the student body was something that was essential to the function of Student Council. During the first week of school, Stu-co organized and sponsored the very successful Icebreaker dance. This year the dance was a 1950’s Stag Bash. The next activity planned was the school roster, but it was delayed because of plans for Sno-Ball, another very successful dance sponsored by Stu-co, and attended by many. The next activity that Stu-co undertook was the United Fund campaign in which $650 was collected. Each homeroom collected money for the United Fund campaign and the homeroom that collected the most money per capita won a homeroom pizza party. Despite activities, Student council student body communication was lacking in some areas. Some students didn't understand the purpose of Student Council. “Out of three years of going to this school, I have yet to find out what the purpose of Student Council is,” commented Joel Miller, senior. For better communication. Student Council gave to Center, “A Touch of Pride. ” Debbie Scmke docs the twist in a contest held during the First Gear assembly. student council fourteen purpose Questioned by many Kathy Unruh, Debbie Evans, Mike Thomas, Michelle Mont- gomery exhibit the dress style of the 1950’s Stag Bash. student council fifteen Setiio i Senior class leadership was a quality most students considered when casting their vote last spring for this year’s officers. They began the 1973-1974 activities by painting signs for the student orientation days. Their primary responsibility was planning graduation ceremonies and collecting senior dues. New ideas for the graduation procession were considered and the seniors were asked for suggestions. Money earned and saved from the previous year was in the treasury to buy the gift the class of “74” would leave for the upcoming Center students. Junior To work in the concession stands during football and basketball seasons was the responsibility of junior class officers. It proved time consuming, frustrating and beneficial toward financing prom. The officers knew prior to running that the goal was to earn enough money to pay for renting the Hotel Muehlebach, the prom band, photographer, decorations, publicity, refreshments, and King Louie West for the after-prom and the rock ’n roll band. Before each game, the officers asked several friends and parents to sell food to the hungry spectators. Mr. Ken Angell, junior sponsor, coordinated all buying of the foods, drinks and prom arrangements. Sapkotvutfte The new sophomores, after being orientated to Center and meeting friends, began thinking about their leadership. A few optimistic students filled petitions and elections were held during lunch. Toreplace the traditional sophomore mixer annually held the first week of school, PTA officers substituted a Chuck Wagon supper on September 27 after a sophomore football game. Sponsor, Miss Janet Rosecrans, felt more responsibility should be distributed to the officers and activities to increase individual class spirit. During Ihe Human Relations assembly. Chief McNamera talks to students. Promoting interest and spirit seemed a small part of the cause for an increased number of assemblies. Many assemblies of new and various types appeared this year. Dual assemblies in the auditorium allowed half of the student body to attend the assembly at a time. This experiment, first illustrated by the singing group the First Gear, proved popular. It was followed by an educational assembly when Police Chief McNamera came to speak during the Human Relations Seminar. Pep assemblies gained something new too—the appear- ance of Spirit, something that had shied away from Center in the past few years. More work and caring showed up in the '74 assemblies when students, teach- ers, and others put on skits to add interest to the dying assemblies.

Senior Mr. Spirit, Steve Dun- Icavy, exhibits his enthusiasm during a Friday night varsity game. Concluding a memorable week of activities couples outside listen to the music. Beginning thoughts for the Country Fair theme of Homecoming ’73 began in mid-July; decorations, spirit week and parade routes were discussed. After school October 2, varsity cheerleacfers revealed spirit week plans. Monday through Saturday involvement by all students was the goal. The hall decorating contest was won by the Sophomore class. Friday afternoon the assembly was held inside due to rain. The Jackets played North Kansas City winning 15-7. Early Saturday, October 13, prior to the dance all pep club officers and cheerleaders were required to do their share in decorating. A variety of booths and a country cafe offered a change for those who didn’t wish to dance all night. “Stonewall” provided the music with a variety of Rock ’n Roll, Boogy Woogy atmosphere. Parents and teachers chaperoned but seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as the students, another memory to add to that little Touch of Pride. homecoming twenty-one moment lor Michele Continuing through the week of homecoming festivities, the student body nominated and voted on girls for queen candidates and attendants. “Since it is my first year at Center high I felt really honored to be chosen out of all the sophomore girls as an attendant,” remarked Sonja Pawlyk. Senior candidates Debbie Evans, Michele Montgomery, and Kathy Unruh; junior attendants Annette Hedges and Dana Montgomery; and sophomore attendants Sonja Pawlyk and Jill Ward waited on the field with their escorts for the ultimate moment when one of the three senior candidates would become queen. The climax of the activities came when Joy Gieringer, pep club vice-president, announced Michele Montgomery to reign as homecoming queen for 1973-74. After receiving her crown from Mr. R. E. Banaka, Center high principal, and a bouquet of flowers, Michele projected her emotions as she took the final ride around the track. homecoming royalty twenty-two homecoming royalty twenty-three Glenn.

December 22 marked the night that Center’s cafeteria was transformed from a dull lunchroom to an exciting ski lodge in the Alps-Swiss Chalet. The theme for Sno-ball this year, Swiss Chalet, was carried through with decorations portraying a ski lodge with its fireplace, furniture, and mountain scenery. All the girls received a candy cane as they checked into the ski lodge as a rememberance of the evening. At the climax of the evening, Debbie Evans announced the 1973 Sno-ball queen, Jayne Collins, who accepted her crown from former queen Jan Archer. In turn, Glenn Kahler accepted the title of Sno-ball King from former king Joel Bohnenstiehl. All the royalty then proceeded to dance to “Knights in White Satin,” dedicated to them by Woodland Rush, who provided the entertainment for the evening. Expansion of activities Senior Dave Fricke, president, inducts new members into Players 58. itu layers is an organization dedicated I to the development of the acting skills, while teaching discipline. This is accomplished because of students and teachers who care.” (senior, Mike 0’larte) While development of acting skills are generally exercised at the time in which members of Players 58 are in preparation for production, acting and entertainment go farther than that. At the beginning of the school year, Players 58 worked on a skit for the Ice-breaker dance and performed at the dance. Players 58 also entered a float in the annual Homecoming parade and won third place. At the beginning of the basketball season, Players 58 presented a skit to the student body in a pep assembly. While activities expand, “The primary function of Players 58 is to entertain and educate the thousands of people who come to see our performances.” (senior, Dave Fricke, president) These and many other activities add to Players 58, “A Touch of Pride.” Colette Raether explains the dance, “I’d do anything to senior member, Dave Fricke. players 58 twenty-six Members entertain students and them- selves.

This illustrated the moral behind the fall play “Inherit the Wind” presented by Players 58 in Garrison Auditorium, November 15 and 16. The portrayal of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, the “Battle of the Giants,” was fought between Defense Attorney Henry Drummond (Dave Fricke) and Matthew Harrison Brady (Joel Miller) the two greatest lawyers of their time. The defendant, Bertram Cates (Gary Bond) found himself in a precarious situation opposed by everyone, except his Defense Attorney, when Cates attempted to teach evolution from his point of view. Although Cates and his attorney lost the court case, they won the basic principle that man has the freedom to think for himself and express himself as an individual. The choice of “Inherit the Wind” for fall production won the enthusiastic support of the teachers which helped the production become an even bigger success.

The conditions of life for the characters in “Oliver!” made them desperate people like Fagin (Joel Miller) who pointed out that “You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two.” Nancy (Paula Friedman) sings “As Long As He Needs Me,” in reference to Bill Sikes, but actually it’s as long as she needs him. Bill Sikes, (Chris Bonjour) says, “I will live up to ‘My Name,”’ which he does no matter who gets in his way. Oliver wants to know “Where is Love,” and finds it at the end. “Oliver!” was a musical which will never die.

Arousing the curiosity ofnew Center students, the many activities provided a change for a day in the traditional 55-minute periods. Comments varied throughout the day dependjng on which film, speaker, or demonstration people had attended. Sharon Hatfield, student-coordinator, had mixed emotions prior to the “Pathways” seminar; she felt “If more students had taken the initiative to get involved with the planning, then a variety of activities would have led to a better insight and understanding of the world in which we live and the world of the future.” A popular movie “Future Shock,” based on the novel by Alvin Toffler, stirred up emotions. One girl commented that she did not want to raise children in this kind of world. In reaction, Mrs. Myra K. Sifers felt different. “I had Nicole and plan to give her the same chance I’ve had to contribute something to life and experience a variety of situations.” Along with representatives from Alcoholic Anonymous, Human Rescue, Planned Parenthood and Pooh House, who talked about their organizations’ involvement in so- ciety dealing with people , there were character interpretations by Center’s dramatic students and two vocal performances by our own “87th Street Gang.” With the continuaf search for self-identity and what lies ahead in the future, this different experience was rewarding for those who participated objectively.

Performances included civic groups, business organizations and school groups. Junior Gary Bond enjoyed “singing for Center kids because they’re more responsive and get into it more than other groups.” Practices for the 12 members, six juniors and six seniors, took place at school or private homes at times when it suited the schedules of the members. Of the approximate seven years 87th Street Gang has been in existence, Mrs. Alice Gene Meacham (Mom) sponsored the group three years. “I was in choir work 16 years before I went into guidance work-1 missed the music before I sponsored the Gang.” She felt that the Gang was a “delightful group to work with.” I Gang pleases both 09 As he plays guitar for the 87th Street Gang, Senior Mark Anderson adds his voice to the group. choral groups thirty-nine views Arrowhead stadium ighlighting Center’s football games was Center’s own 1973-74 Marching Band. Hard work and dedication were two of the very important factors to the band members. “Enjoyment of what you’re doing helps make the work easier. As drum major, leading this organization is one of the most unforgettable experiences I have had in high school, Dave Fricke explained. The reasons for taking band varied greatly among the band members. Some were interested in music, some like to march and others found it an easy class, but the work that went into practice was not easy. Ken Svejda commented, I like it, but it’s just another class.’’ The marching season was one of the most trying seasons in the year, because each week the band worked out a different routine to a different song. “1 like band, especially the marching season. It helps with sports. The band playing helps to psych up the players and also the spectators, “remarked Kelvin Kupfer. Marching Band is one of the spirit-awakening organizations at Center. To heighten student interest. Marching Band gave to Center “A Touch of Pride. ” Dave Fricke (Drum Major) instructs junior band members before Halftime. MARCHING BAND - Front Row: S. Martin, R.

Working on contest pieces and on other concerts was the main business of the concert band this year. Many students considered concert band a challenge because of the time and hard work that went into their performances, but the kind of challenge varied among the band mem- bers. As Laurie Riddell put it, “I thought tryouts were the hardest. Although the kind of challenge varied, one challenge was shared by all. The number one rating at district music contest in the 72-73 school year prompted Center's concert band to work hard this year in hopes of getting a number one again. Generally all organizations had the same basic prob- lem but that basic problem was viewed in many dif- ferent ways. Barb Williams commented, “I think the people within the band need to consider themselves as part of the band instead of individuals. Concert band performed at the annual winter concert along with the choir. Two more concerts were planned for the year. Sophomores and juniors also played at graduation.

Summer practices at 5:45 a.m. began the year under the direction of Captain Jayne Collins and Co-Captain Julie Yuratovich. In July 14 girls attended camp at Central Missouri State University. A rewarding week filled with hard work mixed with friends and fun proved successful as they brought back first place to Center. Trips to Worlds Of Fun, the zoo, and going out to breakfast during the summer added enjoyment and broke the monotony of early morning practices. Performances at football games included using straw hats and overalls on homecoming, a show choreographed by the seniors, and going to Arrowhead Stadium. “Going to Arrowhead and performing was really the most exciting drill the Precisionettes have ever done,” commented Janet Cole. Arrowhead was among many special appearances this year. Others included the Shawnee Mission Band Festival, a performance at Central Missouri State and Kings basketball games. These proved exciting and successful. “Drill team has been fantastic this year. The trips to Arrowhead, CMSU, and the Kings game made the year really exciting,” remarked Laurie Hayslett. Cindy Montgomery added, “I’ve made so many special friends on drill team and I’ll never forget the good times we had.” Kathy George and Elaine r. —' 1 V Bahr make last minute preparations before the homecoming parade.

Last summer the cheerleaders crawled out of bed at 7:00 am to come to school to practice cheers and different formations. In the middle of July, the squad went to William Jewel Cheerleading Association Camp, where they all became close friends, gained self-confidence, and squad-pride. They received fourth place with 190 points out of 200. Also during the summer and into the school year the cheerleaders were busy with money-making projects. First they held a garage sale which was almost rained-out, got soaked washing cars at a car lot, worked for Ewing Kaufman, owner of the Royals, and were the added sparkle to the Marion Laboratory Convention held at Glenwood, they earned a “ton of money and really hammed it up.” Their final and craziest project was a paper route for the South Kansas City Sun. The entire year was pretty well summed up by Captain Michele Montgomery when she said, “With only two seniors on the squad it called for some serious discussions once in a while on who should receive priority. But as the year went on we learned through experience that the best way to function is as ONE!” Doing backflips down the court and on the track this year were the Center’s Fighting Yellowjacket Mascots. This being the first year for two mascots. Cheryl Frazier and Cathy Colmer, both agreed it was more fun not being out there all alone. Cheerleaders prepare to sing school alma mater. varsity cheerleaders forty-nine “Cheerleading is a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun.” J.V. cheered at all J.V. and sophomore football and basketball games and at all Cross Country meets. During the summer, J.V. attended the National Cheer- leaders Association Camp in Marshall, Missouri and received 4 excellent ratings and 1 outstanding ribbon. Practices were held every Monday through Friday at 7:00 a.m. throughout the summer. The girls earned money for new uniforms and paid their way to camp by holding a garage sale and paint- ing curbs. In addition, each girl was required to earn $25 on her own by doing odd jobs during the summer months. Besides cheering at sports events and accomplishing their duties in Pep club such as painting signs, selling tickets and candy, J.V. also sold donuts in the cafe- teria before school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Wrestlettes spent an average of four nights a week planning meetings, tournaments and meets and paint- ing signs and decorating lockers. At all home meets, the wrestlettes were in charge of setting up the name boards, chairs, and scoring tables. They kept score for both varsity and J.V. events, kept individual records and led cheers throughout each meet. “I like the way the guys say thank you after a meet. It makes me feel good knowing they like what we do for them.” (Penny Wise) “We really needed ten wrestlettes this year,” stated Shelley Keith, “there’s so much to do with all the home meets, tournaments, parties and decorating of lockers and houses. Each guy gets a little more at- tention.” The wrestlettes were chosen after being in- terviewed by a panel of coaches, wrestlers, past wres- tlette captains and various students and faculty. jv checrlcadcrs wrestlcttes fifty Leading the squad, captain Laurie Blackwood shows her spirit.

On the way to a win, Marsha Gosmano applauds another Center basket. For the first time in four years, the pep club changed uniforms. It changed to a wash- able gold fabric with a navy tie. In response to the new uniforms, Diane Hudson said, “1 like them, they are so much more comfortable. I think they are also cuter.” There were 125 girls in the gold outfits this year. A project the girls engaged in again this year was to be little sisters. This was a time for the girls to get to know more guys and to show their apprecia- tion. They picked a guy from the seasonal sport and either decorated his locker with a sign or crepe paper. Some weeks the girls decorated the boys’ houses. They made a huge sign and hung it on the house. At the end of the sport the girls made cakes and had breakfasts for them. When asked if the boys appreciated it, Georgann Ulmer stated, “I think the guys enjoy it. It gives them something to look forward to. But, for the girls, I think it’s more enjoyable for sophomores. To make money for the future away games, the pep club sold candy. The crunchy chocolate bars sold for 50 cents. The money meant that girls did not have to pay to ride the bus to and from the games. Pep club gives you a chance to express yourself at games. This year the spirit rose and the pep club really helped. pep club fifty-two The house of Joel DiCapo shows that pep club little sisters indicated their spirit by hanging signs on the big brother’s houses. pep club fifty-three lemale athletes Pep club president Kathy Unruh prepares to display the alma mater be- fore the fust football assembly. Led by President Kathy Unruh, the 1973-74 Pep Club officers did all they could to promote spirit at Center through the Pep club. The main responsibility of Pep club was homecoming and of course all of the burdens fell on the shoulders of the officers who handled them to the best of their ability and made homecoming this year an event to remember. Through- out the year the officers organized the breakfasts for the athletes, little sister, the making of signs and de- corating of the locker room. The Center Girls Sports Association had quite a job ahead of them this year be- ing the first club at Center for girls who had lettered in sports. Despite all of the criticism they received they went right to work by electing officers. The 1973- 74 officers for CGSA were Linda Cosbohn, president; Jayne Collins, vice-president; Claudia Flathman, secre- tary; Susie Albright, treasurer; and Cindy Montgomery, historian. They continued working throughout the year having bake sales to raise money for film in order to assemble a scrapbook in memory of the 1973-74 girls world in sports at Center. C-club used to be a club for lettermen at Center that was very active. Over the years it had slowed down and was considered more of an honorary organization for lettermen rather than a functioning club.

A Model United Nations is a replica of workings and decisions made by the UN. In Kansas City, Park College annually holds a Security Council meeting, and then a General Assembly meeting. Contrast to this, at the Harvard Model UN, both Security Council and General Assembly meetings were held simultaneously with committee meetings. Much preparation was done by the delegates, includ- ing experience in regional Model UN. Maria Duncan commented, “I went because I wanted to enlighten myself on something else besides my nar- row path.” Sara Rittman enjoyed “the day at the Har- vard campus.” “The Harvard Model UN,” commented Joel Czarlinsky, “and experiences of the same nature come rarely in a lifetime. I hope that students from Center can continually be able to attend, for it is something that is exciting, intriguing, educa- tional and if not continued, wasted. Delegates add realism to the roles by dressing their parts. Joel Czarlinsky, one of Center’s delegates, addresses the Model UN. Sponsored by Student Council, the Student Ex- change program was a practice open to all Cen- terites. Usually, two students from each grade level participated as either hosts hostesses or actual exchange students. One of tills year’s exchange students, Karen Bundy, felt this way about her experiences: “1 have found that kids at the other schools used the exchange day as a way to get out of class. I saw a lot of this going on and to me just walking around the building a thousand and one times is boring. When we did stop in a class, I was rushed to leave promptly. I guess my host had a bad case of teacher phobia and wanted out of school desperately.” Another of Center’s student exchangers, Janey Yuille, felt the same way. Schools invited other schools by letter and then set up a date for the exchange. One school, Ruskin, invited 7 different schools for the same exchange date and had 65 exchange students roaming classes. One member had noticed “the only ones that have been able to go have been those on student council.” A visiting exchange student utilizes time to take notes on Journalistic activities.

Early this fall, a meeting was held after school and the officers were elected by the club membership comprised of 27 students. Co-presidents John Gordon, senior, and Michele Gallagher, junior, presided at all meetings that were held in Room 300 every third Tuesday. The projects for the year included decorating a homecoming float and plans in the second semester for a pinata party. It was very beneficial being around Senor William Scott, sponsor, with all his experience in traveling. When he told stories, they were both interesting and educational. School participation and a variety of activities captured the interest of 35 German Club members for the past year. The sponsor, Mrs. Maria Wiebe, a native of Germany, created “an opportunity for the members to appreciate the culture, literature and art as well as the language.” After school on the first Tuesday of the month, the members gathered in Room 313 to plan activities. A number of events were carried out through united effort which included a benefit Gummi Bear candy sale for Pat Bickle, Christmas caroling in German and a field trip to the Nelson Art Gallery. Mrs. Wiebe suggested a party with an area German Club to illustrate an environment to learn and communicate in everyday situations.

Some favorable changes occurred in the school during AFS week, for instance live entertainment when German Club members in full costume danced in the cafeteria or Chinese fortune cookies served with the lunches. And the new faces you saw in the crowd were those of Luisa Miranda (Argentina), Helga Soxberger (Australia), Alvaro Velez (Columbia) and Erlendur (Elli) Magnusson (Iceland). They came to Center to talk to classes and tell of the life styles of their particular country. While visiting our school the foreign exchange students spent the night in the homes of different Centerites. They were also the honored guests at a party given by the AFS club. AFS was also the host of Giovanni Storti from Italy who visited here from Shawnee Mis- sion South High School. He came to Center for a day and talked to classes and attended an AFS meeting after school. afs sixty-one Tutoring Karen Schmid, Eva Sokoloff helps her with a composition problem.

Meetings were changed from twice monthly to once monthly. Because of traditional scheduling, members weren’t able to attend meetings during school or teach elementary school, as was done last year during activity periods. Instead, teaching was done outside of school twice in the spring at Red Bridge, Boone, and Indian Creek Elementary Schools, and Center North and Center South Junior High Schools. Club members experienced the teaching profession by preparing class plans with their chosen instructor ahead of time, and then helped teach during class time. Another change from tradition was holding an Appreciation Day instead of the Cake-meet. It was designed to express the club’s thanks to Center teachers, and its success was based on the group’s willingness to work together. Although this year’s club was a lot smaller than previous ones, it still kept the traditional scholarship awarded to the outstanding senior member intending further education in a higher school of learning. Future teacher’s members, Eva Sokoloff, Renee Valverdee, Sharon Thee and Na- omi Bromberg approve a change of the annual Cakemcct to an Appreciation Day in February. sixty-three Key Club gives ii Service with a smile” key club sixty-four Dan Petrie, posing as the humorous character Grandma Creasy, attempts to sell a seat cushion to faculty member Mrs. Goetzinger.

Key Club had a “key way” to do service for the school, community, and nation. And the key way was the members’ exhilarating time they had doing it. One new event that highlighted the year was the three day non-stop Key Club Marathon basketball game that benefitted the children at the Truman Neurological Center in southeastern Kansas City. Some of the other typical activities that the club did were sparked off by new, successful ideas such as the Key Club seat cushions and calendars undertaken by a “Grandma-Grandma Creasy-Creasy” idea. But these were the innovative service projects. Traditional projects included Toys for Tots and ringing bells for the Salvation Army. The club was sponsored by Mr. Dan Creasy who supervised the igniting of the new ideas. The members mainly met at 6:45 A.M. on Thursdays in the teacher’s dining room and evening meetings were held for the sleepier members. sparkle to Deca.

Engaging in civic projects, DECA, sponsored by Mrs. Loretta Middlebrooks, stuffed Christmas stockings and decorated nut cups for Red Cross. As a state sales campaign, DECA members sold candy and used the money for sending members to contests. Practicing events, a few of which included job interviews, sales demonstrations, and making displays, DE students ap- plied their skills at the district contest where members from the metropolitan Kansas City area gathered to compete. Center brought home 6 first place trophies, 2 second place trophies, 4 third place trophies, and 10 one ratings. From this, six people met require- ments to go to the State DECA contest where students competed to the National level.

We've placed too much emphasis on high education without regard for students who wish to enter work immediately after high school.” So explained Mr. George Tollefson, counselor, about the new Joe Herndon Vo-Tech School. Twenty- five Center students, both juniors and seniors, took occupational courses in the newly built school near Raytown. Attending Vo-Tech school only half of each day, the students spent the rest of the day at Center. Twenty-seven seniors this year participated in another split-schedule program-dual-enrollement. This enabled seniors who had fulfilled their high school needs to obtain college credits early. By attending area colleges anywhere from three to ten hours weekly, the students experienced college life without being fully committed to it. Mike Hatley, a trigonometry student at Longview, expressed satisfaction with the program, which seemed to be typical. “It’s a break in the monotony of the every-day school life.

They ranked third in the state. Many honors were bestowed upon students. Members Ashley Hum and Joel Rogozenski were placed in the highest categories for their effectiveness displayed at Forensic meets. This year Center hailed around 100 members because the National Forensic League works on a system of recognizing new students every week if they earn membership.

John Cisetti, Jim McGehee and Lonni Fuchs direct a meeting. Due to lack of student interest and the pressing gas shortage, clubs this year suffered a decrease in attendance. This year the French and Latin clubs disbanded and decided not to hold regular meetings. In past years, both clubs had been active in school activities such as floats in the Homecoming parade and parties at different times of the year. Both chess and science clubs experienced a decrease in student attendance and interest. But in spite of other clubs disappearing, one new club came to the surface. The Inter- national Relations club, sponsored by Mrs. Hedda Winctroub, formed at the middle of the year. Working on an experiment, Nathan Stolov and Mark Molos find the solution. miscellaneous clubs seventy-five individuality through tree time Tlie tennis bug has really caught on. Several Center girls find time for a couple of matches after school at a nearby country club. Freetime... “A time to do what you want to do and enjoying it”, commented senior Becky Stoup. “A time you have to yourself’, said junior Mark Gilday. Tracy Martin sophomore simply said, “NO SCHOOL!” When asked what they did in their freetime, senior Mark Bosh said, “Work, sleep, get into trouble, and take karate lessons.” “Swim team practice, usually go to basketball games, watch T.V., eat, and go to church activities”, said sophomore Laurie Riddell. Junior Rick Ginestra said he rides his motorcycle and goes over to his girlfriend’s house. Other students commented: go to movies, play football at Minor Park, drink, be with friends, and bowl. Freetime could mean doing absolutely nothing to working every night after school. Freetime could have been either fun or boring. Freetime was really what you made it: going to Pizza Hut after football and basketball games, working on your car all day long, band practice Sunday afternoons, bowling at King Louie, standing in line for 2 hours to see The Exorcist, shopping at Metcalf South, or just driving around. Even though students were involved in school activities, outside activities also occupied much of their time.

Under the direction of Mrs. Myra K. Sifers, advisor, and Cindy Dodson, editor, the “Searchlight” staff was kept busy with copy to be written and proofread, pictures to be taken, trips to the printer and deadlines to meet. The staff had a difficult time keeping track of the students’ needs, but they ended up on top in the end. “It’s really a challenge to fulfill the needs and desires of the student body in the school newspaper, but I think this year’s staff did a fine job covering student interests,” said Mrs. Sifers. Along with all the hard work of printing a paper comes the problem of the whole staff getting along. But this wasn’t a problem for this year’s staff. “I think the kids on staff got along very well with each other. We did a lot of clowning around, but managed to get our work done. It was fun being editor, but there was quite a bit of responsibility involved,” commented Cindy. Cindy expressed everyone’s feelings the best when she said, “It’s worth every minute being on staff!” Glenn Kahler and Bill Stone prepare to roll film.

Laurie Rubins remarked, “We have a lot of really good ideas and staff members are willing to try new things. A few of those “new things” included a colored senior section and eliminating caption blocks. Sixteen pages were added to make the book longer. To get more students interested in the book, a variety of students illustrated the school activities. With a larger staff some of the pressure to meet deadlines was relieved. Each staff member had more time to work on their pages. By being on the staff, students learned to work together and put their creative ideas to use.

Dr. Robert O’Neill Board tries new ideas The 1973 74 Board of Education tried to give students more responsibility and choice. This was si town in many changes that came about. One of the most important differences was that of graduation requirements. Seniors were eligible to graduate early by ranking in the top 10% of their class and by completing all graduation requirements. A panel which consisted of two teachers, two counselors, and the principal selected the participants. Juniors and sophomores were involved in a phase-out of the old graduation requirements. The Board raised the number of credits needed from 18 to 21 to comply with new state requirements. More choices were available within the school. The Board allowed some students to attend the Joe Herndon Area Vocational Technical School which offered a wider variety of classes. Center’s curriculum also enlarged; new courses such as Horticulture and Independent Study in social studies were added. The Board changed dual enrollment this year. It was still for seniors only but participants had to take a certain number of hours in accordance to the number of classes taken at Center. The Board decided on another scheduling change as activity periods were taken out and traditional class periods retained. administration eighty-four Members of Center's Board of Education look over their notes and check the agenda before starting the board meeting. Superintendent Mr. Don Richmond Director of Business Services Dr. Don Nelson Mr. Charles Foraker, Director of Buildings and Grounds Supervisor of Food Services Supervisor of Reading Assistant principals served the school in various ways. Mr. Ernest L. Paris worked with the new textbook store and worked with Coach Smith as director of athletics. In order to get a club activity approved, the idea was presented to Mr. Stephen Geraci. He helped set up dates for StuCo functions and worked in accord- ance with its officers for any projects. Besides the other duties of the assistant principals, both dealt with any discipline problems that arose. On this subject, Mr. Paris commented, “1 felt the decorum of the students was much better this year than last.” Although Mr. Geraci just finished his first year at Center, he felt there was a decrease in problems since September. Mr. Geraci summed up his opinion by stating, “I have been extremely pleased with the young people who I have had the pleasure to work with this year. Center is indeed a great high school.” Dear student body, 1 have seen the personal growth that each of you has made during this past year. But we all must continue to grow daily to make this a little better place to live. The responsibility that many of you have accepted will act as a stepping stone for you to become the type of individuals that are an asset to our society. We have attempted to provide the atmosphere in which mutual respect could evolve between students, faculty and administrators. 1 think we have made reasonable strides in achieving this, but we can always do better. Let us try in die future. I hope each of you has enjoyed a successful school year. To the class of 1974,1 would like to extend my best wishes to you in the future. principals CKjhU jv GENE BANAKA-PrincipaljCentral Methodist College, BS; UMKC, MA.

Gene Banaka Office assists all Being the heart of a school, the office must consist of the most efficient people. Mrs. Doris Gustafson, who has worked at Center for twelve years, took the attendance cards and made up the attendance and excused lists. If you had ever checked in or out during the day, you had to sign a sheet attached to a clip board. Mrs. Ruth Brosnahan confronted you and issued you a pink slip or checked to see if someone had a call for you. Her basic job was handling the money that came into the office. Secretary to the principal was Mrs. Emerine Kline. She took care of purchase orders, getting substitute teachers and put out the daily bulletin just to name a few of her duties. Mrs. Kline has worked with the Center office for five years. Starting her first year at Center in August of 1973, Mrs. Marilyn Hamilton, guidance secretary, seemed to have the biggest problem. “Students did not make appointments to see the counselors at the specific time before school and sometimes got upset when they had to wait or could not see a counselor at all.” All four secretaries kept busy with their jobs besides answering the phones which rang constantly. Mrs. Hamilton felt the most interesting part of her job became answering the phone. “It’s like playing Russian Roulette-you never know what will happen.’ Too often, Center students try to handle their own problems and do not realize how important the counselors really are. They forget the reason why the counselors are available to them. Center's four counselors; Mr. Gene Propp, Mr. George Tollefson, Mrs. Alice Meacham, and Mrs. Melva Olsen realize how important they really are. “Counselors are here for the students who are seeking information concerning careers, higher education, vocational education, etc__” commented Mr. Propp. According to all of the counselors, they felt that the work they did in helping the students was rewarding and enjoyable. “It’s exciting. There is much work being done that goes unnoticed. But I like it that way. I wish we were more accessible to the students,” observed Mrs. Olsen. Mrs. Meacham felt that, “no problem is too small or insignificant to our guidance staff. Every student has a right to counseling if he feels he needs it.” Mr. Tollefson said that, “the counselor exists to help the student. Too often, I feel they don't know our purpose. Any situation that concerns a student might include the counselor to solve the student’s problem.” Service benefits students “Nursing has always been a rewarding profession to me. In the high school, there is need and opportun- ity for health counseling,” commented Mrs. Lois Clark. In the 20 years that Mrs. Clark had been the nurse at Center, she has had to tolerate many things from the students-including the fakers who go to the nurse’s office to ditch a class. “It has been noted that after the parent has given permission for dismissal from school, the faking student improves.” Center’s Media Center staff anticipates an enlarged library to make it more readily available to a larger number of students, the community, and to ex- pand its book capacity. According to Mr. David Starchevich, “The action starts next spring, if we arc lucky and can get the materials, men, and the plans ready.” Assisting Mr. Starchevich in his duties as head librarian are Mrs. Viola Fullerton and Mrs. Ruth Allred.

When asked about the attitudes of students this year, Mrs. Doro- thea Kehm replied, “This year the kids seemed more cooperative and better motivated. They also seemed more in- volved in school activities as opposed to years before.” This year, the math teachers sponsored mini courses during op- portunity periods which were designed to aid students in learn- ing about the various job opportunities available in the field of math. “To be a good teacher, you must first enjoy teaching, and second share your experiences and knowledge with students.” (Mr. Albert Dial) Mr. Albert Dial explains finer points of Algebra 1 class. mathematics ninety Mrs. Dorothea Kehm observes as students work on difficult problems.

They have seen Centerites at their highest learning peaks and their lowest pitfalls. “Kids are better adjusted this year than in the past. It seems they like the new semester classes much more than year courses,” stated Mr. Ornes, BSCS teacher. “Human growth and development, my only semester class, has worked out really well.” “Schedule changes have proven beneficial to my anatomy and physiology classes,” commented Mr. Angell. “Lab work is done better in longer time periods.” KEN ANGELL - Anatomy and Physiology, Cell Phy- siology and Biochemistry, and Horticulture; Junior Class; B.S.

Each year teachers have found a new way to teach the same jubject. Even then, they still kept hopes for changes in the future. For Mrs. Myra Sifers, it was a more open sharing of herself. 4Tve tried to humanize my class more this year by being more open and honest with my students. We laugh together a lot, and I find that we’re more at ease when we learn together.” Learning together and doing more creative thinking were two things teachers wanted to see emphasized more. Miss Sarah Harvey believes “pressure parties” put too much emphasis on grades. “What I’d really like to see is a complete change from letter grades to personal comments on each student by each of his teachers. However, that type of evaluation can’t be reduced to a point system and computer card, so it’s probably a hopeless dream.” Learning has changed and will keep on changing with teachers who enjoy working with young people. As Mr. C. L. Landes put it, working with young people “keeps me young!” language arts ninety-five Speech affects graduation Mrs. Harvey explains tomorrow’s assignment to her third hour British Writers class. “Speech is a good thing to take to help in any kind of job you decide to go into,” commented sophomore Becky Taylor. This year’s sophomores were the first to be affected by the new regulation that states all students must have at least one semester of speech to graduate. The credits needed in Language Arts dropped from four to three. Mors students didn’t seem to mind the change. In fact one girl, sophomore Nancy Farris, stated that she “kind of likes it. It fulfills our Fine Arts requirement.” The few that did object felt they were being forced to take a subject they didn’t want. “I don’t like speaking in front of people,” was one comment made by several sophomores. With a variety of speech classes to choose from, students enrolled in semester classes such as persuasion and debate. language arts ninety-six Diana Pcnncr seeks the help of Mrs. Goetzinger on an assignment in Science Fiction.

Students utilize lab facilities The interest and the quality of instruction in the foreign language department soared this year as evidenced by the increased enrollment in the Spanish IV class and the addition of an advanced German class. In response to this attitude, the teachers attempted to provide a more thorough coverage. Contrary to the beliefs of many, the students learned not only the language, but also about the culture, history and geography of the country itself. Mrs. Maria Wiebe explained this in the language she teaches, German, “Unesre Deutschklassen lemen nicht nur die Sprache; wir lemen auch kultur, geschicet und geographic von Deutschland.” Reasons for studying a second language varied with each student. Although Center does not require for graduation any credits in a foreign language, many colleges recommend at least two years of a foreign language in high school. Some students simply felt too limited by knowing only English and believed that a second language would broaden their knowledge considerably. Others took it for a very practical reason: future usage. Since they plan to travel out of the country, knowledge of the foreign language was an essential part of their future plans. Senior Larry Wolfe commented on his reasons, “In a few years. I'm hoping to travel to Mexico, so my four years of Spanish will really help me. But , it’s good to know a foreign language anyway, so if the opportunity arises, you will be able to talk with the people of that country.” “iQue bien! serTorita,” responds Senor William Scott to a stu- dent’s correct answer. foreign languages ninety-nine Mrs. Joyce Cox pauses for a minute from taking roll.

Mr. Robert Bcssenbacher takes time out before class to review. Additions needed “This past year’s courses,” said Mrs. Haggerty, Mr. Dan Creasy and Mr. Robert Bessenbacher, “could use a few additions.” For example, Mrs. Haggerty, finishing her first year at Center, would like to see a course added on Missouri history with special emphasis on Kansas City ; Mr. Bessenbacher would like a course added in world history and Mr. Creasy would like a course added in comparing classical Athens, Renaissance Florence to contemporary New York City. While no suggestions for removing any classes were given by students or teachers, almost all students suggested additions. Linda Hudson, senior, would “like to see a course added on historical people rather than events. The student-teacher relationship question brought all kinds of ideas and thoughts from teachers. Mrs. Stephanie Fehr felt that “Students should be treated like people not students, but teachers should be treated as people too.” Coach Forest Arnall felt that his family relations course was “closer to the student than a subject such as math or history” and his approach to the subject as a class was “traditional”. As an example of the close personal relationship that Mrs. Winetroub had for her students, she looked at the year in some amount of sadness, for this was her third year of teaching at Center, and it is the first time she had seen one of her sophomore classes become graduating seniors.

Mrs. Jean Marie Haggerty commented, “For U.S. Expansion there are some excellent museums around (Missouri Town, Glenwood Manor Museum) but we cannot visit them as a group. Mrs. Joyce Cox added, “If I could, I would like to add such things as field trips-and even 2-3 day trips. Lack of money seems to have been the main problem, teachers agreed, and with concern over money resources, the addition of field trips to Social Studies courses seems very unlikely. However, some students had suggestions for increasing student interest that would not require money. “I think we should have more guest-speakers . to come and talk to us, responded Debbie Waldrop, senior. In a class such as Family Relations where student-arranged guest speakers are frequent, costly field trips and expeditions are unnecessary. Mrs. Hedda Winetroub felt that activity-type scheduling would help. “I had no trouble filling the longer classes. If we could have such things as field trips, we could schedule them in these times. Mrs. Winetroub felt that field trips to such places as the Wayne Minor Housing project and Crown Center would have added more interest to her classes.

To aid the data processing students, an accounting machine was added to the schools equipment. Miss Vicki La Mons, data processing teacher, stated that, “Longview was generous enough to give us an accounting machine. During the second semester we will be able to wire boards and operate it--we did not have one last year.” The data processing course required involvement in order not to miss out on operating the machines. “They must do it themselves to learn it,” remarked Miss La Mons. Vocational preparation, a prerequisite course to distributive education and trades and industries, was designed to help prepare the student for a job career. Students researched chosen careers making occupational reports and holding class discussions. Mr. Robert Dennis, vocational preparation teacher, feels that, “Vocational preparation helps prepare the student for the ‘World of Work’ and this is Mr. Jim D’Alesio looks as senior Melinda Merril reads a print out. what life is all about.” Twirling his keys, Mr. Ron Haggard monitors the cafeteria.

Business projects aid students Preparing for a timewriting Mrs. Reve Wilson sets the clock. There were many business courses students could choose from this year. Among them were business correspondence, recordkeeping, shorthand, basic business, office machines, business law, and others. Taught by modem business trends, students received knowledge useful to them which prepared them for the future. During accounting classes, students worked with professionally prepared transparencies and business simulations. Miss Vicki Jennings, accounting teacher, remarked, “A background in the basics of an accounting system will be useful in personal records and single proprietorship businesses.” Keeping up with the modern business techniques, Mrs. Diane Burt, basic business teacher, commented, “This was my first year; however, I do plan on introducing an income tax program in basic business which would be new to the course.” Students taking business courses such as secretarial practice and shorthand needed typing as a prerequisite. For those who did not wish to go on into typing in such depth they could take personal typing. Mrs. Burt, also a personal typing teacher, felt, “Personal typing was an excellent course for anyone who does not know how to type. At sometime in their life, almost everyone needs to know how to type.” business one hundred seven Sophomore Jim Hagen watches as sophomore David Henderson gets assistance from Mr. Lee. Ruling curtails creativity Students work on drawings inth VIr Wilrnvnn’c hi ln Mi. Bradshaw explains to Curtis Schad that his spacing is incorrect on his notepad. A new ruling by the Attorney General of the United States stopped schools from making students buy supplies for a class. This affected all the industrial arts classes some, except Graphic Arts which really suffered under the change. The number of projects was cut down because of the cost of tools, paper, ink, and the extra large classes. Students could do other projects if they bought their own material. A new experiment by some remote classrooms created an interest in their subjects. Wood, metal, power mechanics, and drafting decided to display their handiwork in the cafeteria. General wood classes and general metal classes were reduced from a full year course to a semester. “This gave the students a chance to decide if they really liked the class,” explained wood teacher Mr. Randall L.

Optimism unites Centerites Attentively. Design students pay heed to Mr. Tom Creamer’s pointers. Creativity in the fine arts department had good reason to flourish during the year. The teachers' optimism for the 1973-74 year couldn’t do anything but inspire works worthy of pride. Miss Sherry Knox, art instructor, thought that “the attitude of the students toward the total school-academically and socially-was much better than the previous year.” Mr. John Chronistcr, vocal music instructor, portrayed his optimism at the beginning of the year when he referred to the lost activity period. “If structured time saves us from the chaos of last year, then so be it.” The opinion of Mr. Don Shaffer, band instructor, summed up the reason for a successful year. “Most students were concerned about each other and most were vitally interested in their course work. This interest was contagious and affected teachers, administrators, and the entire school district.” Thoroughly, Miss Sherry Knox evaluates students’ work. fine arts '■ IP Smiling, Mrs. Shirley Foster stresses importance of future homemaking. Mrs. Virginia Ray discusses procedures in cooking. Students improve stilts This year the state announced to schools that the teachers or administration could not tell students to buy materials for their classes. Such as, in the clothing classes, girls did not have to buy material or patterns. When they did sew, the school fur- nished some material. This decision also affected the Driver’s Education department. In the last two years the teachers in this class had collected $30.00 from each student as a fee for the education. This year the students did not have to pay this fee. The reason for this was, if a student was getting a credit for a class he could be made to pay for it. The career education classes were not affected. Although the only books furnished were the Driver’s Education books, no students had to buy a book for use in classes.

Former students noticed the newly varnished gym floor. The men stripped the floor of all the old varnish, put new painted lines in and revarnished the whole floor. Although many worked hard on it during the summer and many took pride in the new surface it didn’t take but three weeks to have it scuffed up. Some reasons for the scuffs were classes dropping arid dart paddles, badmitton rackets accidentally throwing across to the other court, and people walking on it with hard shoes. The sophomores really didn’t notice the floor, but they did notice the co-ed classes. Boys and girls participated together in golf, archery, bowling, and volleyball.

Few students realized how much work went into keeping our school going. There were three special groups who often didn’t get the recognition they deserved. At any time, day or night, you went to the school there would be a custodian. They always let you in to use the phone if necessary. During fall, after football games, they cleaned the stadium. Every day after school they cleaned all classrooms, halls, and restrooms. Mr. Alvin Shadley, who headed the custodians, liked the job because he “likes kids!” Two ladies that students seldom saw were the laundry ladies. They worked down by room 12. Every day they washed 2,206 gym towels besides kitchen towels for the Center school district. Also they washed the team’s uniforms whenever needed. Another group of ladies worked in the cafeteria. This year, the women encountered many problems because of the food shortages. They continued to give students several choices of meals each day. Cafeteria ladies also had the job of clearing the tables.

Athletes’ parents and members of the community comprised the membership of the club. Earning money throughout the year involved selling programs, Yellowjacket windbreakers, and T-shirts. To climax the end of the athletic year they sponsored the Blue Gold Banquet where deserving athletes received awards. You could usually find a crowd of students gathered around the PTA bookstore. Dependable women volunteered their services so that students could buy needed supplies at discount prices. “Even when the supply of materials ran out we shouldn’t complain; it was nice of the mothers to think about us,” Phil Biggs, sophomore, admitted. The Citizens Advisory Committee discussed budget, athletics, and discipline at their annual meeting. The fifth Advisory Committee served the purpose of making the patrons more aware of the district’s problems. More informed patrons became more interested patrons. The change to daylight savings time meant a change for students. Instead of leaving for school in the daylight, students now left in the dark. This made no difference to Center’s bus drivers, who left for work in the dark every day we had school.

The 1973 Cross-Country team consisted of seven boys on Varsity and seven boys on Junior Varsity. In the meets these guys ran literally two miles cross country. The home meets were held at Swope Park, which several boys agreed was one of the hardest courses to run with a hill that goes about one half-mile up. The times the boys ran depended on the type of course. In the end, the team with the lowest score won. Junior Tom Sec commented, “It’s a challenge to sec how much your body can take. The real lest was in practices after school where the boys ran between ten and twelve miles over a special course.” Practices lasted between two and three hours. Cross-Country was a big help to those boys who wanted to go out for track in the spring. Though the team didn’t win all their meets this year, Captain Don Arnott had this to say, “This year’s team was the best we’ve had in about four years.

Coach Duane Unruh was appreciative of the performance and commented, “This year’s team was contending in a new conference where predominance can occur which could have been a factor of us clinching the division.” Yet the Yellowjackets prevailed with an unmarred 5-0 conference record winning the Mid-Six championship in the early part of the season. Besides this, Center dominated the all- conference picks consisting of Dave Batlincr, Bill Beckett, Bob Fuchs, Charlie Gaggins, Jeff George, Matt Hale, Bill Johnson, Mark Klumpp, Charlie Mills, Scott Paine, Vic Panetta, Steve South and Mark Ward, plus Bob Fuchs was named to the Kansas City Star’s All-Metro football team. These players, along with the other Center members, added up to a team that not only Center was proud of, but many other factions came to respect because of their dedication and determination. : i; tui -j wit.1: 11 a i :i :ki d s I � i Leaving a trail of Raytown players.

Center high school ran into one of the most unusual seasons of football. It was a year to remember by how the Yellowjackets ended up victorious. The unusual part started in the early portion of the season when the football players began to get injured - even seriously injured. An account of the most devastating misfortune occurred in the Oak Park football game early in the season. In the second play of the game, junior Pat Bickle, playing the linebacker spot, tackled the halfback and Bickle suffered severe spinal and neck injuries. The mishap seemed to reflect the playing of the rest of the game as Center lost, 27-7. But team morale was not shot down as the pride of the fighting Yellowjackets encouraged their efforts, especially for Pat, by winning the next gamc-a 25-7 romp over Park Hill. Still, other team members were injured, which became a factor in the reshuffling of the lineup. But the football team didn’t panic. In fact, the injuries sustained in the 1973 football year gave the Yellowjackets an extra bit of incentive to win as much as they did.

During the tense, closing minutes of the North Kansas City game, Coach Unruh regroups the team. miLLinc to mm Unruh stresses football’s philosophy Coach Duane Unruh stated, “The teamwork displayed, the absence of cliques, and the optimistic, positive attitudes gave Center the winning spirit needed for a successful season. It’s qualities like these, that makes a team win ... when everyone pitches in and does his job accordingly.” These essentials went into the hard fought games that ended up in a Conference championship. The 1973 Center Yellowjacket football team performed willingly with capable players, staff members, and school incentive. And they had factors to win for--such as the injured Pat Bickle. Coach Unruh stressed this fact, “The reaction to that major accident sparked a challenging attitude to win compared to previous incidents when team member morale went down.” This good attitude gave Unruh an extra bit of pride as he exclaimed, “It was pure enjoyment and satisfaction to come each day and participate with the group of boys in an extremely gratifying season.” Through the trials and tribulations and sacrifice involved during the season for the team and community. Coach Unruh was voted Coach of-the-year of the Mid-Six Conference to the benefit of the fighting Yellowjackets. varsity football one hundred twenty-eight 1973 SUBURBAN WHITE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS - Front Row: Asst.

For this team and the Junior Varsity, the season began in September; they worked hard and wanted to win. But there wasn’t anyone in the stands to watch them. The hard work and great attitude pulled the team through a tough season of ups and downs. Rushing was good and when things got rough the passing attacks held them up. Many injuries were also the result of the season. There were broken arms, thumbs, and legs. But the team did benefit in the end.

The team was pretty well balanced this year with seven seniors and six juniors but lacking in sophomores with Doug Ommen being the only one. At the end of the season, however, sophomores Rick Allison, Mick Allison, Stan McLerran and junior, Doug Deuel did suit up varsity. Center ended their first season in the new medium six conference with a 3-7 record. They had a 9-13 over all record.

This season ended in a climactic, exciting game against the Ruskin Eagles with the final score being 65 to 45. This long awaited game determined the season’s record of 18 wins-0 losses. Doug Deuel, a junior, captured the top scoring position for an individual game with 30 points; also he achieved the highest total points during the season with 213 points. Practices after school started at 3 p.m. lasting until 5:30 p.m. usually with sprints, shooting baskets for precision and warm-up drills. Occasionally the junior varsity challenged the varsity to a scrimmage game to simulate real game action. When one player answered the question why did the team play so well he replied, “We tried to work well with one another and many of the guys have terrific ability and prove to be promising varsity players next year.” The season’s overall average for all games figured 61.1 points; their opponents’ average tallied 44.8, promising statistics to look forward for 74-75. junior varsity basketball one hundred thirty-eight 78 Scoreboard East 25 64 Hickman Mills 40 50 Raytown 44 65 Park Hill 46 63 Lee’s Summit 55 58 North Kansas City 50 55 William Chrisman 43 CENTER 60 Ruskin 51 69 Winnetonka 58 59 Park Hill 36 56 Ray South 45 73 Lee’s Summit 54 71 North Kansas City 37 81 William Chrisman 50 79 Olathe 62 65 Ruskin 45 CENTER Tournaments Ruskin Tournament First Place 56 Ray South 44 55 Hickman Mills 46 imwtfnarwi Attentively watching Coach Dennis and others offer support to players.

Bob Klein, a senior, succeeded in being the only wrestler from the Kansas City area to win second place, a silver medal, at the State Tournament. His teammates also voted him the most valuable wrestler of the year. Senior Bill Johnson took an upsetting loss in the first place match during Regionals when it went into overtime. Bill, because of tiredness, lost the second place wrestle-back necessary for state qualification. This season’s records place at state tournament for most pins went to Robbie Garcia, senior, and Randy Johnson, junior. Randy also made the fastest pin: 12 seconds. Bob Klein and Bill Johnson recorded the most wins with nineteen a piece. On his own, each wrestler determined how much weight he would lose, if any, plus the amount of time and energy he would contribute to the sport. One junior member of the squad said, “Sometimes it seemed so silly to lose all that weight, but now that it’s over I realized it was good and wrestling helped me build my moral character.” one The referee raises junior Randy Johnson’s arm after one of his many pins. Randy was voted most improved wrestler. Ready for the second period, junior Don Cosgrove takes his position. Wrestlers warm-up before their meet with Rockhurst.

So now you go out to face the big, bad world, A time for college, employment, new friends, maybe new ideals, The transition may be a real bummer for some, And the prophecies warn to prepare. “Preparation” brings to mind A Touch of Pride.

Teachers were stationed at opposite ends of the hall corridors, policing each student by demanding to see his hall pass, as Coach Ron Haggard does for Senior Britt Carlson in the picture to the left. “I don’t like feeling as if I were on guard duty during the five minutes between my classes. I have other things I could be doing,” commented a Center language teacher. Teachers replaced students as hall monitors, “because seniors let their friends through the halls with out a pass. Teachers do a better job keeping us under control. They don’t single out students. If kids have a pass, they’ll get where they need to go,” stated a senior girl. “Classes aren’t disturbed by loud talking, now that teachers patrol the halls. I’m glad the administration finally cracked down. They needed to do something about the hall pass situation.” Roger Blatz Terry Bolin Chris Bonjour Pat Bono Mitch Bordeno Margy Bowman David Bowmaster ________seniors_________ ________________________ Ted Brady Beth Brandt Avery Bratt Kevin Bratt Mike Bray Seniors’ experience assures successful tournament Tim Brennan Sylvia Brewer Bill Brittain Karen Brown Paul Brown Richard Brown Kim Bubb Brian Bucksner Alan Budd Greg Buford During Center’s fifth annual speech and debate tournament, November 9 and 10, seniors retained their leadership capabilities. Each event required a chairman and co-chairman to assume the responsibility of obtaining judges, performance rooms, ballots, and completing various other tasks. Tradition suggested that the position of co-chairman be accommodated by a junior, thus preparing him for chairmanship his senior year. And tradition proved successful again. All chairmen this year (some of which are shown left-Brian Corrigan, Ash Hum, Mindy Sander, Dave Fricke, Britt Carlson) began planning and accomplishing early in October and continued working until the last minute of “clean-up” time ended. But obviously the long and hard hours of preparation proved worthwhile.

Pride and participation were two keys to school spirit this year. Involvement after school, during classes and just caring about Center helped students to raise the spirit this year. September marked the beginning of the fight for pride and spirit that had been lost the previous year. Students got involved during lunch periods (as shown above) and by cheering on the athletic teams. Spirit wasn’t only going to the games and dances. Participation in the classroom also played a part. Urban Affairs delivered boxes to classrooms accompanied by a sign “please stack paper.” On Friday's the students delivered the collected paper to be recycled. Signing petitions brought unity to Center as everyone participated in the KBEQ school spirit contest in an effort to help injured football player Pat Bickle. Money was collected at football games and in restaurants also. Tlte attitude of true spirit this year was shown by action and participation. _______seniors________ one hundred sixty-two Julie Cottrell Kirby Crews Gary C rouse Larry Cruse Mark Cunningham Steve Daniels James Davidson Julie Davidson Debbie Davis Joe Davis Geroge DcFries Teresa DeLeon Debbie DeWcese John Dewhurst Joel DiCapo Eleanor Dinovitz Cindy Dodson Carolyn Dorei Cheryl Dragani Jeff Dritley Maria Duncan Steve Dunlcavy Nancy Dutton Doug Ege Tim Eikel Jeff Elliott Karen Ellis Jeff Ely Dana Emlet Debbie Emlet _________senior� ________ one hundred sixty-three Nancy Engel Gisele Estes Debbie Evans Deborah Evans Deborah Fanning Diane Fiehler Joel Fish Kathy Fitzsimmons Claudia Flathman Bernard Flucke Kim Forbes Craig Forman Debbie Foster Roxanne Fountain Christine Freund Sheila Freund David Fricke Paula Friedman Lonni Fuchs Lorri Fuchs Robert Fuchs Jackie Funk Scott Gafford Steve Gampher Robbie Garcia Carmen Garciga Kevin Gavin Bruce Gentzke Beth Gibson Joy Gieringer ________seniors________ one hundred sixty-four Lori Giese Norman Glass Jim Gochenour Various activities keep students after final bell For some students the 2:35 bell didn’t signify the end of the day, but the beginning of practices, meetings, and numerous other activities. One opinion of staying after school came from football player Kent Taylor. “It gives me something to do. I like to work at practices and it gives me a sense of self satisfaction.” Senior Donna Johnston, active in drama, had a different opinion. “There are other things I would rather be doing because you don’t get much recognition for all your work. I do like the performances though.” Pep club girls spent their share of time after school also. Barb Sperry, shown at the left, was one of the many spirited girls who spent hours downstairs painting signs to show that they, too, cared about Center. The Searchlight staff spends a lot of time after school working on the paper. Senior Deanna Constant a staff member commented, “I think I get more done after school because during the class sixth hour everybody is running around and it’s hard to concentrate.” One big reason for students staying after the final bell was the abolition of activity periods. As a result, all the club meetings and all the other work that students accomplished during activity periods were moved to late afternoon. seniors one hundred sixty-five November 14 saw Center’s student body imagining themselves in various occupations during the first annual Career Day. The categories ranged from Accounting to over-the-road truck driving to clothing industries. Mrs. Melba Olsen chaired the committee of counselors, staff, students, faculty and administrators. She planned 30 to 40 occupational clusters. Mrs. Olsen planned it this way to show many careers are inter-related. “Hopefully students explored work on a broad occupational area she commented. Since a nation- wide concern for career education exists, Center’s Career Exploration Day was only one aspect of Center’s educational program.

Ending a two-year segment of Center’s history, the senior lounge became Mrs. Pat Oates’ classroom. Many students’ feelings were, “Why should the administration judge each class on what the previous class had failed.” Barbara Inselman, senior, said, “We are getting were even allowed to attend college or work full time second semester through the “Early-Out” program. Expressing the thoughts of many seniors, Pat Massey remarked, “We want to make our senior year something to be always cherished and remembered.” cheated our last year instead of making it the best. We should be given a chance.” Vice-principal Emest Paris generalized. “Only if current enrollment dropped or there was an expansion of facilities, then the senior lounge would be restored.” Adding to the loss of senior privileges was the annual senior steak fry. A PTA board member explained this by saying, “In August, meat couldn’t be guaranteed for delivery and the price would have doubled.” A senior boy understood the expense difficulties but believed a substitute for a get-together could be found. The school board presented many variations of the standard schedule to seniors. The dual-enrollment program became more organized and structured; the COE program branched out into two specialized programs, distributive edu- cation and trades and industry. Also various students took advantage of the new Joe Herndon Vo-Tech school commuting daily by mini-bus.

Mrs. Nancy Scott, NHS sponsor, allowed the students and counselors to plan the event this year. Committees were supervised by counselors and headed by seniors Kathleen Stone, Sharon Hatfield, Maria Duncan, Marcia Smith, Joel Fish, and Rita Schroer. Various other NHS members helped to make name cards, signs, programs, and posters advertising the annual event. A representative from the University of Missouri at Columbia, as shown at left, represented just one of the 37 colleges that attended the event this year. Center will no longer host College night. The Missouri high school College Relations Committee in the Kansas City area decided that it was too difficult for the representatives from various colleges to travel to each school. Therefore, the committee agreed to let the junior colleges in the Kansas City area host the annual College night in the coming years. ght enlightens many Debbie Moffat Frances Moll Marsha Mondschein Cindy Montgomery Michele Montgomery Deborah Moore ________seniors_________ one hundred seventy-one Mark Muder Jirn Mullin Dawn Murdock Brian Murray Robin Nelson Beth Nickel Tom Nolan Mike O’Larte Scotty O’Meara Cynthia Ommen Lisa O’Neall Gregg Ozbun Janet Pace Arleen Pagel David Parker Janet Partin Joe Paslay Kim Paulsen Diana Penner Cindy Perkins Maxine Peters Dan Petrie Eli Pfefcr Barb Poliak Bruce Pollock John Protzmann Bob Pummill Monica Raczynski Janice Ragan ___________seniors_________ one hundred and seventy-two Jill Ragar Barbara Ramsey Mike Redden Debbie Reed Joseph Reed Robin Reed Cynthia Sue Register Dan Renault Cindee Rensing Helen Rice Course limits” spur controversy among Centerites Classes open only to seniors this past year were cause for controversy among some Centerites. Such classes as basic language arts skills and communication, psychology, notehand, child development, and business law were among them. Many juniors requested that these classes be opened to them next year. Marilyn Siegel, junior, commented on this, “1 would like to see the Journalism I course opened to sophomores so juniors can be on the newspaper and yearbook staffs too.” Mrs. Melba Olsen, counselor, suggests, “Perhaps these classes should be filled on a purely selective basis.” Mike Waldrop, junior, felt that “it’s the privilege of the seniors to have certain classes open only for them.” Independent study, fairly new at Center, was set up so seniors could specialize in a specific interest. The counselors felt students could not develop a special interest in their junior and sophomore years because of limited experience. Through the past, the number of these classes had diminished; perhaps in the future, through the efforts of the underclassmen, these classes will be eliminated entirely. ___________seniors_________ Debbie Riddell Tad Riggert Tom Ritter Sara Rittman Howard Roberts Joel Rogozenski Jimmy Rosenbloom Phillip Ross Suzanne Roudebush Jerry Routh Leadership duties add feminine touch Laurie Rubins Glenda Rueger Debbie Russell Cheryl Sackman Mindy Sander Curtis Schad Rita Schroer Joe Scovill Dana Segur Jean Siebolt Debbie Semke Julie Sharda Karen Sheldon Terry Sherman Steve Simpson __________seniors one hundred seventy-four Women’s lib? Apathy? Why were most leadership positions held by girls this year? Senior Jeff Dritley feels the reason was, “Guys aren’t as interested as girls are in Stu-co and newspaper because of sports.” Also Jimmy Roscnbloom, senior, said, “It’s getting to the point where guys arc afraid of what other guys will think if they run for an office.” When students were asked if they felt the ones who held positions were qualified, Mark Tusken, senior, remarked, “They WERE elected and the majority ARE good leaders.” Also commenting, “The girls were the only ones that wanted to do the job and they seem to do a good deal of work,” said Senior Gary Crouse. Jill Sloan Albert Smith Cindy Smith Elizabeth Smith Frank Smith Marcia Smith Rob Sparrow Paula Spear Barbara Sperry Cheryl Stanton __________seniors one hundred seventy-five A few examples of the “Feminine Touch” this year included the editor of the “Searchlight,” Cindy Dodson, the first girl editor in the last ten years, Stu-co President Debbie Evans, shown above with other Stu-co officers during United campaign week, senior class president Dana Emlet, and National Honor Society president Kathleen Stone. Asked what he felt about all girl leaders, Senior Bill Johnson said, “It doesn’t bother me as long as they do the job.” All in all most of the student body admitted that this year would not have been as successful without the “Feminine Touch.” John Steele Bill Stone Kathleen Stone Becky Stoup Joyce Strickland Mike Stripp Robin Stroup Michael Stuart Debbie Stuber Barbara Swearingen rnment, Watergate, buggings, Agnew’s resignation, firing of Co 1973 saw Americans talking about a new freedom, the freedom to know exactly what went on in a political campaign and what a candidate did after he was elected to office. The rights of politicians and what campaign techniques and tricks are legal was a popular topic with Watergate in the limelight. After reading about the Watergate buggings and watching them on television, many students found it led to lively discussion. Some classmates though, wish they would have quit talking about it! Many agreed that it is good we live in a country where Watergate was exposed and those involved were questioned in a nationally televised Senate hearing. A development came about October 10,1973 when Vice-president Agnew resigned and pleaded “no contest” to a tax evasion charge. Students were talking about whether he was really guilty or if it was a political ploy to get the heat off Watergate and President Nixon. Later in the month talk of impeachment grew louder when Nixon fired Watergate defense attorney Archibald Cox. These events made Centerites realize that it would soon be their turn to go to the polls and vote responsibly.

Seventy-five to one hundred couples attended, and according to Kathy it was an average crowd. The dance lasted approximately three hours for all this planning. Tilings such as float building and sign making ran into large sums of money and time. Late night hours were spent finishing homework, due the next day, because after school time had been used for homecoming. Policemen, liircd one and a half to two weeks before the day of the parade, would have received pay even if the parade had been cancelled. A permit was issued through the Kansas City Traffic Department one month prior to the day of the parade. A method of voting on attendants, queen and Mr. Spirit became a problem when classes were interrupted. Tension grew for attendants and candidates as announcements approached. Was all this planning, time and pressure worth the two months put in for the one week we had to enjoy it? Janine Johnson, junior, looked at it this way. “It is a lot of work for everyone, but the work is worth it because it breaks the monotony of a normal week of school and it’s necessary to promote school spirit.” Junior Toni Arlund felt, “People don’t look at homecoming as a big deal anymore, but the work is worth it to promote school spirit.” Said Mr. Bill Merryman, social science teacher, “It’s something the students generally will remember • for many years. These are highlights in a student’s school years.” Not Pictured: Lou Accurso, Ronnie Beeler, Allen Belcher, Frank Bosch, Mark Bosch, Douglas Brinkman, Terry Brown, Byron Caldwell, James Centimano, Cindy Cor- nett, Jack Cox, Randy Cox, Steve Cross, Dana Jane Delaney, Jerry Foxworthy, Geri Gardner, Pam Goodson, Roy Groues, Bar- bara Hoover, Theodore Hunter, Barry Immele, Joe Janner, Jeff Keeler, Dan Kennedy, Ray King, Cheryl McCoullough, Mike Mc- Niel, Rick McPheron, Woody McPheron, James O'Kelly, Larry Orr, David Rodriquez, Tracy Salamamder, Arthur Solomon, Katie Stewart, Cynthia Thomp- son, Debbie Waldrop, James Walker. _________seniors_________ Center boogies to rhythmical beat of 6First Gear’ Abraham, cordon: Key club 11. 12.

I don't know if I could count all the times I almost quit, but didn’t. The book would really get me down sometimes, but my staff members would always seem to come to the res- cue. I loved every one of my staff members, although at times I loved some a little more than others. They always came through in a pinch. Besides my co-editors, Joy, Ken, Nan- ti, Pam and Mindy, there is one person who should get special recognition who always seems to get left out, our advisor M. L. Ha- worth. Without her expertise and knowledge this publication would probably be nothing more than two hundred twenty-four blank pages. Thanks should also go out to the teachers who rearranged class schedules to accommodate staff members. To everybody else who did little things for us, you know who you are, thank you. We made this book not for a rating but for you, the students. We tried new and different innovations. I’m personally glad that we sold books to seventy percent of the student body. Many colleges can sell books to only twenty percent of the enrollment. But maybe that is what happens when you go to college, life gets very imper- sonal. This is a personal book. We think you’ll be proud to own it and to look back upon it. Thank you for making this book a success Rick Weekly Editor-in-chief Yellowjacket ’7 Staff '74 _ Comnlnnm Kiitors arbS rrv M : iv ; M. 1..

Center Belton Blue Springs Center Hickman Mills Raytown Conference Meet 1st Victories seemed to come easy to the Thinclads this year as they swept up both the Indoor and Outdoor Conference Championships. The track team also won the unofficial first place at the Indoor State Meet, but unfortunately this was also the first year that team awards were not given at State. A new record was set in the two-milc relay by Don Arnott, Greg Bartholomew, David Ward and Ron Clout with a time of 7:54.7. Don Arnott broke the 880 yard run record while the mile relay team of Corry Lanyon, Eric Williams, Steve South and Ron Cloud tied the present school record. Running track is an individual effort that benefits the entire team. It takes a lot of desire to strive to do the best you can all the time. Coach Smith summed up this year’s track team by stating, “These guys arc quality performers that could win points for us when we needed them.” Center 83 Ruskin 74 N.K.C. 37 Center 114 East 23 Center 88 Ruskin 77 Southeast 24 Central 18 Wyandotte Relays 1st WM.

Spring brought many new ideas and activities to the students of Center this year. AFS Club sponsored Center's first AFS Week with such activities as dancing by German Club members during homerooms in the auditorium and the sale of fortune cookies written in French, Spanish, and German. Foreign exchange students from various schools around the area spoke of their homelands. These students came from Iceland, Spain, Israel, Austria, and Chile. Students in Mrs. Winctroub’s Urban Affairs class showed their concern for the environment by a Tree Planting Ceremony. Mr. Geraci commented, “It’s refreshing to see students involved in a pos- itive way to solve a problem instead of just complainingabout their environment.” The stu- dents hope that they have started a tradition at Center to beautify the school grounds. The “Searchlight” staff earned $285.65 for the Easter Seals campaign in the Easter Bunny Spring Thing Give Away Contest. Raffle tickets were sold at 50£, and 10£ guesses were made on the number of jelly beans in a jar. The first drill team banquet was held on April 29, in the school cafeteria. The banquet replaced the customary slumber party held the last several years. Julie Davidson and Trice Lyons were voted the outstanding members of drill team, and Laurie Hayslett and Annette Hedges were accounced as co-captions for the 74-75 year. With the coming of spring and nice weather, many students took to their bikes for transportation to school.

An original play by Brian Corrigan and Mike O’Larte, it was directed by Dave Fricke and other acting students. Brian said, “Writing the play gave me a chance to express myself creatively.” Lyrics and music were also originally written which made the show somewhat of a musical. The show was choreographed by Janis Blaine and Wendy Dallen. Marilyn Siegel said, ‘it was an honor to perform in a play which was originally produced by Center stu- dents.” The people of Neas, led by Cariotta sing of their Magic Land children’s play two hundred thirty-four Portia (Tcala Rosen) and Portio (Keith Anderson) welcome the travelers into their home.

A lthough a downpour never ma- terialized, threatened rain forced graduation inside a very hot, crowd- ed gymnasium for tire graduating class of 1974. Speeches were delivered on the past, present, and future by Kathleen Stone, Joel Miller, and Britt Carlson. Dana Emlet, senior class president, next presented the class gift of money to Mr. Banaka. Scholarship plaques were awarded to those stu- dents with an outstanding effort during their four high school years. Special scholarship award plaques were presented to each student in the top one percent of the graduating class; they were Susan Callahan, Britt Carlson, Drew Huber, and Kathleen Stone.

The threat of rain kept many away from the senior picnic; but the only showers came from the football-field sprinklers, which unexpectedly interrupted a softball game. The picnic, sponsored by thePTA, replaced the traditional steak fry, which fell victim to rising meat costs. Seniors gathered in the stadium Friday, April 26, for a meal of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, coke, and ice cream sandwiches. Recreation and socialization engaged the seniors until dark, when they moved inside for the Robert Redford movie “Downhill Racer.” The next day, after recuperation, the seniors joined juniors for the Prom. A theme of “The Way We Were” set the mood for a formal dance in the spacious Imperial Ballroom of the Hotel Muehlebach. Some couples expressed displeasure with the music provided by Jimmy Tucker and his Orchestra, but junior Marilyn Garber reasoned that “A rock band wouldn’t have played enough slow stuff.” At midnight long dresses and tuxedos disappeared, and the festivities resumed at King Louie West. Bowling, skating, and table games then occupied couples with the Diamond Jim band supplying a beat for those still wishing to dance. Early-morning breakfasts temiinated the adventure, leaving students satisfied that the experience justified its expense.
