At left, Diane colors in the chart to show the increase in annual sales. This year the annual staff put a lot of effort into produc- ing this annual. In September they sold annuals and adver- tisements. In October they began putting the book together, page by page. Finally in May the last page was finished. Under the guidance and patience of Mrs. Conroy and the cooperation of the staff, we present the 1973 yearbook. f 4 W WWW 1973 - Memories Of Their Future . . . Now Post sl-A X.A,, i .

It consisted of acts of comedy, dancing, sing- ing, and the big feature attraction, a group of All-Star Wrestlers and Dr. Andersen. The Seniors each put in their time by doing many things besides performing. Some of them made tickets, set up props and helped back stage. All of the Seniors would like to extend a big thank you for bringing them even closer to their goal for the Senior trip to Washington D.C. The annual Senior Class Carnival was held on April 28, 1973. The candidates for Carnival King and Queen were as follows: Seniors - Mike Wiggins and Peg Carver, Juniors - Terry Nielsen and Donna Usher, Sophornores - Ken Andersen and Brenda James, and Freshmen - Terry Morgan and Judy Bauserman. The crowning was held at 9:00 when Judy Bauserman and Mike Wiggins were crowned 1973 Carnival Queen and King. The night was said to be a big success by making far over what they ex- pected. Kzngs, Queens, Clowns, And Cakes Made The Carnival All Just Great! ,,.. .. tk ss f wswsri C Q W H is s as S .s 2 is .. Class Da . . .

Seniors Have Last Fling Before Taking The Next Big Step t. as After a long, hard four years of fund raising, the seniors finally made it. ln the morning after gradua- tion at 4:00 they took off on their trip to Washington D.C. Most of the time was spent touring many in- teresting places. Among these were Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, and Gettysburg. After arriving in Washington the graduates were kept busy sightseeing. Some of those sights taken in were the White House, the Capital, the FBI building, and Arlington Cemetery. Although it rained every day the seniors kept things exciting and made their last days together something to remember. On the following pages is a collection of original writings from the 1972-73 Creative Writing Class. Creative Writing is a Language Arts elective course offered to students, grades 9-12. Creative Writing is a course in which students are able to express themselves freely in any one of three media: poetry, short stories, and plays. Since this freedom of expression is the prime purpose, instruc- tion is limited to directing students toward subject matter for writing. Students in Creative Writing are encouraged to write on a personal level. Thus, much of their writing is a comment upon the social scene and upon life around them. It is hoped that by focusing on that with which they are familiar, they will come to a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in. The original art accompanying some of the writing is a contribution from the high school art classes. The art media included are India ink and felt tip markers. The work was done by Carolyn Kadlec, Kathy Stauffer, Marcia Atwater, Laury Bauserman, James Hollenbeck, Terry Nielsen, and Sharon Mader. We hope that this section will offer a bit of wisdom, a bit of humor, and a bit of solemnity, but most of all we hope that it increases your awareness of the students at Center Point - their imagination and their talent. May their writing serve as a guide for a better understanding of yourself and others, as well as the world you live in. Creative Writing Students . . Write On The Creative Writing students, as pictured above, are: Kathy McNeal along with their sponsor Mrs. Whitehead. Not pictured is Stauffer, Jody Ashlock, Judy Bauserman, Debbie Andrews, James Cindy Bauserman. Hollenbeck, Robin Burrell, Sue Lown, Julie Hannen, and Gary DAY'S END Kathy Stauffer The bright orange red sun sunk farther and farther into the horizon. The sky looked as if it had burst into flames. The mild breeze which was blowing caused the lake waters to rush to shore in small waves. The sound of the waters lapping against the rocks was like a drummer beating in a uniformed rhythm. The smell in the air was fresh as if the world had just been bathed. Peace was in hand. ,ff lrl this l THE TREE Sue Lown As majestic as the holy king sitting upright Towering over the grass, protecting it with his gathered arms. Needing to reach out and take in, Yet being content with his findings, needing nothing more. Casting an eerie shadow on this magnificent flower of the earth. The sun is going down leaving his holy majesty to rest until morning awakens the earth. I WISH Julie Hannen I wish the earth would open up and let me become a real part of nature. Nature is so natural and easy to get along with I would nudge the spring flowers And summer grass up through the soft, moist earth. CHANGING SEASONS Cindy Bauserman I used to sit each night and watch its small green clusters of leaves catch the evening breeze as the light from the yardlight danced upon them in changing patterns. For hours I would sit in con- templating. My hostilities and sorrows fell with its leaves in the autumn, soon to be buried and forgotten under a blanket of fresh whiteness. I grew strong and hoped with it in the spring as it burst into new life. I talked to it in unspoken language, and it answered me in smooth soft whispers in the wind. It was my friend and consola- tion. Now I sit and stare at its bare, lifeless body. They have wrenched out its arms. Broken fingers lay scattered on the ground. MEMORIES Kathy Stauffer . . . I love you, too. It will be great this summer when we are married. Remember, only two children of our own, but we'll adopt at least six. We will live on a farm with lots of space, trees, and flowers. My mama is welcome anytime as long as she doesn't stay longer than three days at a time . . . I remember this conversation well. He and I, the only ones that mattered. But now I am alone. He took that big bird overseas, dress- ed in full uniform and returned in a box. THE CROSS Rich Heitman I feel it against my chest, It lays there to rest The chain which makes it hold Is shiny and a little cold. The cross is what it is. He died on it, it's His. But right now it's on my chest I can feel it where it's pressed. It's cold and gold and a little small, But with it on, I feel real tall. It will stay on my neck forever, To take it off, I would never For it means the love so trueg His love for me, His love for you. MY VISIT J ullie Hannen Eight or ten old women in a half-circle, watching a portable T.V. Each eye turns our way as we enter, eyes starved for understanding. They look at the goodies we bring. My friend takes some to her great- grandmother, and kneels at her side. Do you remember me, Grand- ma? Those eyes! I shall never forget them. Filled with a lost look, a vaguely remembering look, starting to form tears. UTO PIA Cindy Bauserman A cool fresh breeze blows across my face, caressed by the warm, gentle fingers of the sun. The trees bow around me as they lazily bend in the afternoon. Cool refreshing rushes of the stream surround my feet as I drag them through drops that have once touched unseen places. The stream talks to me as it follows its unending, unchanging path through life. SOMEBODY'S MOTHER Craig James Always working, she is accustomed to the realization that she won't always get the respect and the admiration she deserves. She goes about her everyday routine that seems so boring and tedious, yet she actually seems to enjoy it. Then again, maybe she has learned what so many of us haven't: that she is just a person who trys and works and knows what to expect, knowing that she'll never be a queen, but that she'll only be appreciated sometimes, by those close to her, and that she'll always be a mother, loved by a few, but necessary for those few who love her. MUSIN G Sue Lown Walk alone on A brisk autumn day. Brown and gold leaves Cover the cold, frozen ground. Ice covered creeks and streams, Sadness covers the ground Along with the quickly turning Brown grass. Alone now . . . He's gone away 'tFor good, this time, he said. Why does it seem, everytime I'm the one that chases them away. I don't mean to, I'm just trying to protect myself From being hurt again. So as the beautiful leaves fall, I'll just walk alone On a brisk autumn day. HEAVENLY THOUGHTS Craig James G O D Heavenly Thoughts l o u d piercing bells, a dis- tinguished voice heard over others, the old but wise words he bestows Men and women sing as an organ plays the melody. The last word of an inspirational story ends. The sound of music, and voices once again start. The end for one day has come. A man acknowledges goodbyes . . . . . . . the doors C1059 An ' empty place once again. ALFRED Gary McNeal He was an old, stout man with whiskers that were as white as new fallen snow. He lived all by himself in a one room shack in the mountains and the only time he would come into town was to get groceries. If someone would say something to him he would say, Bah, the weather is fine for rats. Or maybe he would say, Good day for what? As you can see he had the personality of an old bear just awakening after a long hibernation, ready to snap anyone's head off at anytime. Some called him mean, and some just said, Leave him alone. t?g5f,f 2,'?S?x.gwZ .iiff A , ,fq.f.,jg4iY-, 17' -f-7'f.y.r if-ef4sf'Q 'gl .1 .tg ff Zi- ' f.-tw i I ,M . rv -tk--. 1,.. fl. . i,e5,..ra,f-5. f. , .!. ,-, f.-1-t. -i:..a..w 1 , .f -mu.. . if-Q '-Q-,W :Ni l f ' 'ef flaws' -' ff. .M .1 f14g?':3rfQz4wfe5'?22'g5.r .:'5f'i.': ' imL?a?f'y5.r: ' H 'Cr 1-f,pYtJ9fq,E. .1 ri :g 5 .2-k:,',s':ff, f gyg'i,,,,sf ,f- X,: t 1 uf,:Qfif?-,1st,.,- ' 'W :ek'2'11.,qf'gjf1fd35.

NUIJNIORY Rich Heitman She enters uncertainly, Caution and awareness. Doing as her nature says, Her face is solemn, Maybe scared, But then she recognizes, She knows who it is, Her blue eyes turn bright, And her smile lights up, She's moving as a bird, Quickly and almost without thought. That's the way she is, That's the way she'll always be To me. REACTION Jody Ashlock Hanging suspended in the void I felt secure But suddenly in the distance I saw a light. And as I watched it, it grew in intensity till finally, that light became so bright it pierced my shield and blew my little world apart Now I wander endlessly in the void. THE DUTY OF A NAIL Judy Bauserman The duty of a nail .... infinitestimal. A body long and straight with an eternal head and wicked end. Struck as a sinner to death . . Only then its life begins. A responsibility so large For an object so small. FOREST Craig James Fall has stolen my clothes And I feel bare. Winter dresses me in white But the sun keeps undressing me. Spring is coming, Then I think I shall have a new Wardrobe and Wear it all summer. Kathy Stauffer I used to think God was a king- Sitting on a throne above everyone And Everything. But now I know that he is a king That mingles with the people. PRESENT MOOD Craig James Presently I find myself dull. My eyes are about to fall, as if someone has cut their ropes. Even as I write this, I am struggling try- ing to pull myself out of boredom and back to reality. A GOD FORSAKEN FUTURE Julie Hannen Yes, the brain that thinks out these next few thoughts is transplanted. No, it wasn't rejected by the recipient's body, it retain- ed all knowledge, and yes, it performs normally. There is just one collection of ideas that haunts it. They are the ideas that ran through this brain just before the old man died. In his wake of death, he dreamed he was in a room with doors on all sides. Each door represented happenings in his life. The strange characteristics were that: ll each event was more destructive than the last, and 21 each made the man older. Age is a strange thing, brought on by many such events. Is this brain to be transplanted again and again, only to be moon filled with such haunts as this? Is man, at death, to be cut up and handed out, piece by piece? Does man no longer have dignity in death? News Flash: Joseph Kaborsky, the recipient of a common brain transplant, died today. The cause is unknown. It sounds strange, but doctors say that the brain failed. They are conducting an autopsy to determine the exact cause. His heart, however, was in good condition, so Marie Galsworthy lives today. SECOND LOOK Cindy Bauserman As I crawled from within the void, they took my hands and pull- ed me into their world. I made the transition, marveling at how for- tunate that I be rescued from that nothingness. They proceded to show me the wonders of their world-the pride of their own advanced minds. Now I walked through their streets of ash and rubble infested with vermin and decomposing waste, and I began to wonder-now just how great is this mess to them. So I preceded to plant a small seed amongst the ash and rotting bodies. 'Slowly it pushed its way above the trash, and timidly struggled to survive. As it reached maturity it unfolded into a single tiny white blossom. Suddenly everything stopped, turned, and advanced upon it. Confused, then hostile, they wrenched it up and cast in into the void. I turned and followed it. INCONSISTENCY Richard Heitman Compassion, what a joke A word describing kind Whoever gave the term to man Must have been out of his mind. Man has no kindness He's superior in no way For he kills all animals in the forest He kills himself everyday. Not with guns or swords But with actions and words He will turn around and kick the man behind He will tortune even his own kind. Remember man, make yourself feel strong And remember man, you're hated all along. Maybe someday you will reach hell Where you've always belonged. Cindy Bauserman I long to be a stone in a mountain stre am, feeling the icy fingers of melted snow flow over me. I long to walk through the clouds, stumbling and falling over large blllowv puffs of softness. I long to sit upon a rosie bl velvet petals. ossom and curl up between its I long to rush on the wind through grasses and trees and feel them ripple and sway with laughter. I long to see you smile just one more time. GREEN Julie Hannen Grass is, Green is the God of the inner earth, filling each plant with life, causing their continuance in the Green sees many happenings through the small eyes of cats. Green is like the Army, cycle. depicted by one person or a thousand, unified, or disconnected. Green is bold as a young soldier, yet soft as a rose petal. Green makes impressions on those who watch it coldly, yet never is overbearing. Green is. Cindy Bauserman A whistle blows, I run to the door But the highest hopes can crash to the floor. Another day has come and passed- that other letter must have been the last. It's only been weeks b t d , u ecades it seems I can imagine their lives, but only as dreams. A spark of joy would quickly ignite, If they'd only take the time to write. WHAT IS A VICTORY? James Hollenbeck Is a victory something like When another army crushes another? Or is it when innocent people Are mutilated and killed? Maybe when two or four million Lives are snuffed out, Like Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Or maybe it's like the charge of the Light Brigade when An army was annihilated. Sometimes victory comes slow Maiming and killing and destroying. Victory is a strange word For annihilation. LAUGHTER Craig James When I laugh, not always is anything funny. Some- times I laugh just to prove to myselfl haven't forgotten how to. IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY Richard Heitman Plop, I failed again Trying to write something One more try, One more cry, And it's empty paper and pen again. I've been sitting and thinking for some time But I can't think of anything to write My grammar is bad My spelling is sad And I can't make any of the words rhyme. I sit down to try once more And fail as I failed before So I give up without anything to say Except what the heck, Itis been a long day. TUESDAY'S RAIN Debbie Andrews Days like today give me an open mind. I always know what I'm trying to find. Time to take a walk And discover my thoughts. To find my true feelings for people And untangle the knots. Just kind of sprinkling, And not too breezy. About the right time to go take it easy, Walking down the road in my tennies, With water squishing through, Thinking about the time, I walked down it with you . . SELFISHNESS Kathy Stauffer I call myself an adult but I act so childish. I tossed him away like garbage because I was finished with him for awhile, But now that someone else wants him. I want to claim him for myself-again. Kathy Stauffer The white clouds have often reached out to me- But I cannot touch them. Nor can I touch the reality of my dreams. Musing Craig James What am I? I am an object. I think of myself as a pebble on a vast desert, Wandering about on a huge vacuum. Was I meant to be? Is the Almighty my creator or am I a mistake of nature's laws? Everything seems so complicated, As if an architect designed me and the world in which I live, I am curious, Like a small child trying to walk and wondering why he can't. I am competitive, Like this child, who will not give up until his goal is reached. If my curiousity fails me and I never find out what I am, I can say I tried, and continue to wonder. But if I succeed, I can rest like an army that is marching home from victory. Julie Hannen These be things I have in me: a mind to solve problems and ponder on happenings, a heart to hurt when no one is here, a pair of eyes to see tears and paing and a soul to live, and feel free to live. THE LOSS Debbie Andrews An abrubt accident Affects abnormal anger, Behind big brother's bandages Bulge bad bruises, Caring catches, Cautious chagrin. Death delivers deplete deprivation, Detracted departed. TREES Cindy Bauserman Implanted Beneath your feet are the untold Stories of decades of Misfortune, yet held among Your ever reach- ing arms are the unwritten ballads of dreams to come. James Hollenbeck I wish people were like bricks In a building. All equal size, shape, and color. All united Forming one. CLOUDS Debbie Andrews A white mass in the sky, Soft as cotton, As if it was a fluffy, fresh Piece of popcorn, Just waiting to melt in Mr. Weather's mouth, So delicate that the sunlight Falls through, And comes down to warm the sky. EARLY SPRING SHOWER Kathy Stauffer The night is especially dark. It's as if an opaque blanket was tossed over the stars and moon. The chilly wind is blowing hard. The bare branches of the trees are swinging back and forth as if they were dan- cing. Then there is a flash of lightning and a roar of thunder, followed by the soft droplets of water falling to the ground. THE FLAME Julie Hannen Leaping up into nothing. Cowering back in despair, Never still. Its rings of color, bounce, and jump as if alive, Causing wax to change forms again and again. Burning, burning, until finally extinguished. Only to be lit in a different time and place. Richard Heitman Long day Hard day I feel as if I might drift away. My soul is rid Of all the pressure And fills up a space Too large to measure. I feel that I might Go far and wide Or maybe Iill turn And look to the inside Long day Hard day I feel as if I want to drift away. JAMIE FLANNIGAN Gary McNeal One cold night in Dublin, Ireland, an old man with short, stubby whiskers walked into O'Conners pub. His name was Jamie Flan- nigan. He was a big man, some said he was 6 feet tall, and he weighed around 210 pounds. He had a big belly. People said that his big belly was from all of the beer he drank. You could tell he was a fighting man, from his scarred face and crooked nose. Perhaps he was defen- ding his honor, for he was a poor man, his farmer's shirt was frayed at the sleeves and the pocket was torn off. Now while he was in the pub, he was having a grand old time, not seeming to care about anything. Once he even got up to dance an Irish jig, resulting in everyone buying beer, so he never had to spend any of his few but precious coins. When he left, it was one o'clock, and when he was walking home at this late hour, he began to whistle a song that his mother used to sing to him when he was young. The next morning after waking up bright and early, he walked all the way back into town to go to work in the stable. He had to feed, clean, and tend to the horses. That night instead of going home he decided to go to go to the pub and have a beer. But when Jamie got there and asked for a beer, the bartender said, Sorry, but I'm not go- ing to serve you until you pay your bill from last week-end, Then Jamie said, Everyone bought drinks for me and I don't have to pay for them.'l The bartender said, You're a liar Flanniganln With a single leap, Jamie was over the counter, and with his Irish temper he was hitting the man. All of a sudden the police came in and took Jamie to jail. The police charged him with disturbing the peace. So Jamie was faced with this charge and the court ordered him to pay damages. He had a bail that was too much for him to pay so he had to stay in jail. But one day the officer came to his cell and said that he could go free because the bartender had payed the bail for him. When he got outside, the bartender said he was sorry and said that he was wrong because the men who had bought him the drinks had told him. So the bartender said, You don't have to pay the fine for breaking up my place, and if you will allow me I will buy you a drink. Jody Ashlock People are always saying, Live for today. But if you limit your mind To that extent you will miss the whole point of life. For one must dream . . . Once must have that ultimate goal to live for. METAMORPHOSIS Craig James The Johnsons were new in Virginia, and didn't know any people. After they had moved in and had settled down, Mrs. Johnson suggested that they meet a few of their neighbors. Since there wasn't any formal towns in those days, and roads were scarce, they would have to go through the woods to see if there were any people living close to them. They had gone about six'miles and were about to give up hope when Mrs. Johnson spotted a weather worn house in the dis- tance. The time was about 7:00 at night, and it was almost pitch dark. As they got closer, they began hearing wolf-like sounds and as they got even closer, they could see four dark figures like dogs. Final- ly, Mr. Johnson realized that they were not dogs but wolves, and that they should get out of there as fast as they could. As they got home, they could still hear the wolves howling, so Mr. Johnson got out his gun and fired a few shots and the howls quieted down. The next morning, Mr. Johnson went out to check his four horses. As he arrived at the spot where his horses were, he saw that one was down. As he walked up to the horse, he saw that the horse was dead, and had been torn to pieces. Right away Mr. Johnson thought of the wolves. He went home and told his wife the bitter news and said he was going back to the old house and see if the wolves were still there. He said if he could kill the wolves and sell the skins, he could afford to replace the dead horse. He set off on the journey and came to the old house at about noon. To his disappointment the wolves were not there. He walked up to the house and thought he heard voices. He went up to the door of the house and knocked. The door opened and a large man called, Come in. Mr. Johnson went in and was promptly introduced to the manis wife and two children. Mr. Johnson told the family about the wolves he had seen around the house the night before. The man said that the wolves came around frequently, and they didn't bother anything. Mr. Johnson said that one of his horses had been killed and that he suspected the wolves did it. He said that he was going to try to kill the wolves so he could sell the skins for a profit, and then he could af- ford to replace the horse. The family just looked at him with a funny expression on their faces, and nothing else was said. W When Mr. Johnson arrived home, he told his wife about the peo- ple and she said that they should visit them that night. l Mr. Johnson said that it was a good idea because he thought he might see the wolves on the way. They had been walking about an hour when they approached the house. It was dark and hard to see. As they walked up to the house they heard growling sounds. Mr. Johnson knew at once that it was the wolves. He got his gun ready. As they walked on, he could see the figures of the wolves in the moonlight. He shot one, and the others ran away. As he walked up to the wolf he had shot, he could see that it had been a clean shot right through the head. He decided he could leave the wolf at the peoples house if they didn't mind. He and his wife went up to the door and knocked. Nobody answered. They decided to leave the wolf by the house and come back and pick it up in the morning. When they arrived the next morning, the wolf was 'not there. They went up to the house and knocked. The lady of the house answered and she was sobbing. Mr. Johnson asked the lady if they had picked up the wolf and brought it in the house. The lady screamed in terror, Murdererll You killed my husband! Cindy Bauserman Individualism is what each thinks he has, but looks down on anyone who doesn't wear its duplicate. James Hollenbeck Slowly the new snow Fell like a dream forming And slowly melting away. Cindy Bauserman if life is a song, sing it as it comes- free, uninhibited, beautiful, and full of love . . . - let its message of tranquility and serenity float through the galaxies, and be understood. REFLECTIONS Sue Lown My mind is like the fog Drifting slowly, thick and confused, Unsettled, ever wandering, Never transparent. The fog must be Thick enough to hide things Yet not so dense That one cannot see at all people say, Be friends, Tell them all about you, Don't listen to those people They'll use you. Listen to me now, Let your mind be like the fog Drifting, slowly, thick and confused Unsettled, ever wandering Never transparent. THE CHOICE Craig James Each day represented death. At least I had my choice. ff f M 1 if ,fp X X DECEIT Debbie Andrews America the beautiful How those words are lies, It is terrible, but some don't realize. Without spacious skies It was once wonderful, Now it dies, All the pollution and crimes, It's not just with land, But hand, People are the ones to blame. NIGHT WITHOUT EXPLANATION Robin Burrell Up until about one month ago, I was not superstitious. But my mind was changed very quickly one Friday night. My mother, father, brother and sister, had all gone away for the weekend. Our house is big and old . . . and sometimes even scary. When someone even moves upstairs, you can hear them downstairs. I was watching television for a while when my dog started whin- ing. Well, he was outside and wanted in, but when I tried to let him in, he would not come. He was getting cold, so I picked him up and brought him in. I put him on the chair in the living room that has his blanket on it. At about 8:30, I got settled in the chair with a soda and some popcorn. I turned on the set and there was the wierdest television show I had ever seen. I think, now that I reflect upon it, that it was a covin of witches. I looked in the TV Guide to see what the name of it was and it was supposed to be Love American Style. I know Love American Style when I see it and that wasn't it. I turned the channels. To my surprise, on every channel, were the witches. About that time I was getting pretty scared, and the dog was whining at the door, to be let outside. I took the dog outside to his doghouse. When I came back in, everything was normal. In fact, when I had taken the dog outside, it was 9:30. When Ireturned, it was 8:30 and the dog was whining at the door. THE ANSWER Cindy Bauserman They hurt you. You're dying inside and you want Revenge for the mortal pain They've caused. You canlt seem to end The ever growing circle of Stabbing. Forgive them. Peace will come. James Hollenbeck A small song of Hope Shouldn't be forgotten Like the early morning dew. REQUIREMENT Debbie Andrews We've all done it once in our lives, lt's a grasp of joy and happiness, lt makes life worth living If you want to live that way, Laughter is a fulfillment required in life. YOU Kathy Stauffer Youlre someone I can walk with for a long time and say whatever I feel or regret or cried about last night before I closed my eyes to sleep or never say anything because you understand. You are the one I trust. THE GOOD TIMES Sue Lown Inspired by the gentle sounds that are all around I remember the little things everyone else forgot. Wishing I could bring back all of the Good times, That they want to leave behind, But knowing that even if I could I wouldn't. Those times were good to me and kind . . . But knowing they are past I will keep them only in my mind For memories of the Good Times. REJ ECTION Robin Burrell He comes to school to learn, And he has no friends in which to turn. Sometimes he laughs along when something is funny, Although they frown back, knowing he has no money. At noon he studies and to no one he will speak, Because he is jealous and wishes he had something to eat Before the bell rings, while waiting in the corridor, Everyone talks, but he stands alone in the corner. For a moment after school he stands in the hall Just wishing that he could play football. For once he wished to play in a game, Now some classmates walk by whispering what a shame Now he goes by the school bus to his home, Knowing when he gets there, he'll still be alone. S OLITUDE Cindy Bauserman Grasping into the void, confusion, fear, Fighting to feel stable substance beneath the feet. Groping, falling, gasping, crying, Suddenly fingers meet fingersg a wisp of surprise, a bolt of hope Frantically the fingers search out the bodies and they cling to each other They must not let go. . . . .But the familiarity of the void is stronger. Each turns and fades into it, Finding comfort in the self-pity of solitude. YOUNG LOVE'S PRAYER Judy Bauserman Lord, I know his love is sweet and pure, But how can I be really sure It's here to stay, not just another transient Whim for time to smother? Oh yes, I'm quite aware, JC, Of your unending love for me, But can you say, without a doubt What his lovels really all about? Will it last for E'er and e'er Continuing life beyond compare? God, worse than death is Satan's fate Of ending love, enduring hate. So now I ask, all strings untied, What does he really feel inside?'i SPRING Craig James The anticipation of spring brings emo The mouths of song are there While hearts seeking love Enclose the sound. The beginning of life is there As it reaches for the yellow smile In the sky. Spring, come and stay And keep me alive, Keep me happy, Let me share your world. ART GALLERY Julie Hannen People. . . a guide, other tourists, security guards all looking at a single portrait, admiring the work, their praises fill th I am alone in my thoughts and recognition. I hear nothing but the soft swish of brush on canvas. tions 9 TOOITI LIVING ROUNDS A PERSON OUT Julie Hannen She likes the combined role of woman, mother, and teacher. I see the pride in her husband's smile whenever they are together. Her small ears are wide open each night, waiting for a child's cough or cry. Her short, brown hair is always fixed on Thursday, for thirteen first graders to whom she teaches the word of God. She is an experimenter. Red, worn hands stitch many things, mostly for someone other than herself. Coming home from school in the spring I see her rounded shoulders, and softened curves, working hand in hand with nature to produce food for our bodies, and pride for her soul. Pale blue eyes shine bright when watching the aquarium, and all its new additions. Her sweet, bubbly voice tells of new crafts and decorating ideas. Yes, she had livedg yes, she is rounded outg and yes, she is my mother. THE DECISION Judy Bauserman It took me all night to realize The word I used had been despised. I struggled and fought my soul quite long 'til we decided where I belong. The times have changed through life, you see, But never shall my love for thee. Y0u've been my light, you've been my guide. It's you with whom I'll e'er confide. My mistake I understand And now beg your forgiving hand To take me back with out a trace Of hate, or mistrust in your face. MY PLACE Jody Ashlock I love to be alone and I love to think. Sometimes I need so badly to get away from life that I think I may go insane. So I run to my green fields Of tall, flowing grasses, My realm of seclusion. This is the one place I can always count on to be my true friend. I WISH Kathy Stauffer Iwish . . . I could be a comedian turning each frown into a smile each cry into laughter. Iwish. .. I could be a person of great strength destroying all evil. Iwish . . . I could travel the world - spreading the good word to all Iwish . . . I could be a cleaner Cleaning up all the rivers Streams and slums. But most of all I wish I could Be a dictator Dictating World Peace forever And ever. THE UNKNOWN Debbie Andrews The walls are coming nearer to me. I can reach out at any angle and touch them. It's so dark in here. Not even a crack of light. My eyes are open, yet I cannot see. It's like a nightmare. Oh, how I wish that it was a nightmare. I feel as if I'm rotting away. My bones feel stiff. There's no room. No room to move in. I lay in one position at all times. If only I could help myself. I never knew how much I loved my home and family until I was deprived of them. Why me? Why, why? Now look, I'm going out of my head! Will they let me live? No, how could they? Why would they? I've seen them. I could pick them out in minutes. I will die here. Really I should live than die, and be put in here, but instead I'll live in here, than die in here. I wish that I was dead so that I could live again! The sun was shining when my parents walked away from my graveside. ELECTRICITY Julie Hannen Ours was: like two waves meeting, grasping the other momentarily, then each again going its own way. like a weed sticking through the snow in Decemberi rare, but soon forgotten, strong but soon defeated. like a stray dogg finding a temporary home, only to be evicted, left -to find another. Ours was: Q a lesson to be learned, and unforgettable. Cindy Bauserman as you talk, I see the laughter dance in your eyes, and I long to wrap it up and save it to gaze at after you've gone. THE GOOD LIFE Richard Heitman Sometimes I'm a cloud, A drifter or a burn, A breeze of the wind Blowing along, leaving This hassled life behind. It's great to be free Of that which keeps me A prisoner of a straight life Of happiness and hurt, joy and strife. No more hassles of living, No more pain of giving All I have and still more, For now I can live As I have never lived before. For this is the Good Life, One I never knew, One of Happiness and smiles One of a sky always blue. TRIAD Julie Hannen These be three dark, black things: a widow spider .... a thundering sky .... the gown of one mourning. ACTIVITY Cindy Bauserman In this grassy ocean Miriads of locusts drone. With all this commotion Why do I still feel so alone? THE ACCIDENT Kathy Stauffer I am lying on this soft blanket. I am a little chilly. If they would shut the door it would be better. The aroma of fresh flowers is all around. Iremember the accident. He and I, driving moderately fast, but being very cautious. A movie-we were going to a movie-I remember now- Butterflies Are Free . I had heard it was great. It began to sprinkle, which led to a rain-not just a shower, but a storm. Then it happened all of a sudden. The pick-up truck in front of us was stopped dead still in the highway. He couldn't stop so he turned sharply to the left, not realizing there was a car coming. We crashed head-on. The ambulances came and took us all to the hospital. They all stayed there but me. They brought me to a different place, a big room, and placed me on this nice soft blanket. Now bunches of people come in crying. Please everyone, stop crying. I am happy. I donlt hurt. Oh no, here is my family. All of them, they are all here, not just morn and dad but all my aunts, un- cles, and cousins, too, a family reunion. Don't cry! There's Terry, my guy. He was in the accident also. He must have gotten out of the hospital. Please don't cry. I want to tell him I love him, but when I try, I can't open my mouth. I guess I busted my jaw in the accident. A SPIDER Robin Burrell A cold villian, Wicked criminal from nature's laws, A killer to the insect world. But yet, all alone. No friends, Competing for life. Nothing ever comes easily. Pressures, hunger, Pity, almost sorrow From me to him. CHOSEN ONE? Julie Hannen She progressed ever so slowly. The photographer stayed inside the doorway, out of sight. Afterwards, he said he did so because he felt that she had had enough physical pain, and he didn't want to cause her more mental pain. She was alone on the sidewalk. It was a young, but old looking lame woman. She was completely bent over from a malformed back. She has no arms. Her face was terribly disfigured. Through all the scar tissue, I could see a smile at the bright sun, and amidst the street flowers, just blooming. She was choseng that was very obvious. But whether the choice was to be damned or glorified, no one knows. sh THE FORGOTTEN PAST James Hollenbeck There was once a nation, A proud nation. Everybody sang it in songs Of praise and joy. Then the nation grew, Pushing a group of people West, Back and back. This group of people decided one day They had it, So they dug in and fought the oppression. But the war was futile. More and more of this invader cameg Guns, cannons and disease. Oh what horror as they watched Their homeland raped and scarred. Factories pouring poisons about, Animals, once plenty Now few. This group of white and black oppressors Killed their home. Why, why did they do it? Didn't they enjoy the clean air, Didn't they love the land, Didn't they care? The group of people became Vain and bitter And the living died, For their land and home were lost. Now after the tears have dried up For a land and hope forgotten. The people who were robbed and cheated Raped of their life, culture and home, Shall return angry With bitterness In their hearts. AN APOLOGY James Hollenbeck Let us apologize to the Indian. We're sorry we took your land, We're sorry we took your pride away. We're sorry that we are Discriminating against you We're sorry that we have Raped, destroyed, multilated and killed your land For progress. We're sorry you're locked up on some reservation. But that's Progress. Is there any way we can say We're sorry? THE HANDICAP Kathy Stauffer These bars hold me-from you, The one I loveg Why canit I unlock the door So my words can float to your ears- Mute. CONFUSION Kathy Stauffer The hectic mess the world is in- Each door of life that I open Seems like a bummer- Whether it be heart broken over some guy Or my brother being killed in a land that was supposedly at peace- Everyday I live, each path I choose- Each door I open is bad. Ifl could only take a small peek at the future Maybe I would choose the right door next time. TIME Jody Ashlock Time is A grotesquely mean, laughing face, telling you to hurry. It is looking down upon you, torturing you with that hideous grin. And you try to escape it by running away. But it is impossible to escape time. Time is always there, incessantly pressuring you. 0051 TIME Robin Burrell Time is forever. Time is without meaning until one's long and productive life comes to an abrupt end. It is like the older brother of mankind, always watching down upon the human race, with far more knowledge. Also time is knowing that it will not end with the passing of one's lifetime. But rather, continuing through the countless eons of time in the future. TIME James Hollenbeck Time is like an empire, Simple at first, Then getting more complicated. Then rising to its apex Beginning its descent Down, down, Faster and Faster To its last second 'Q TIME Rich Heitman Time is something you feel. It's that slowness of movements the aching of the knees, and a confusion. It's a time of suddenly growing older minute by minute. Time comes slowly like a tired turtle, yet it arrives like the swiftness of the hare. Time catches you thinking the thoughts of yesterday. Or was it the day before? Time shows you T7 T iraqi P r' Q , 'Y' 'ss 0 W, 'o' s' ' 1 S . r 1 O I it v sv v 'I is 'I 0 4 S 4 S what you've done, and what you're doing in a comparison like that of day and night. Time is someone laughing at old daydreams and degrading old memories. Time is one of the cruelest of friends and the evilest of masters. TIME Craig James I talked to time the other day. He was quite a mixed up person. He told me he was about through, that he was just about ready to run out. He told me his food supply, electricity was running out. He was bitter. He said we wasted it all away. He said it was time to quitg peo- ple didn't care about him anymore, that they took him for granted and were always wasting him. He said he would get even, that he would quit soon, and maybe someday start again, at the beginning. TIME Cindy Bauserman I have felt it pierce my body in a cloudburst and drain it in the summer sun, I have tasted it in the winter as snow falls on my tongue, and in theyocean breeze as it splashes in my face. I have sensed it in the fragrance of a forest, and felt it sting in my nostrils in the city. I have seen it flash across the sky in lightning and journey across it as galaxies. I have heard it echo endlessly in the caverns and in the soft murmers of the wind through trees. I have known it as it passes, realizing that I am only an atom in its universe of life. MOODS OF SILENCE Jody Ashlock Silence can be beautiful If it is a Silence filled with love. He looks at her and they speak, without words, but knowing exactly what the other is saying. Silence can also be ugly if it lacks love. It means there is Nothing left to say. So he ignores her And she avoids him and they won't have to fight the uncomfortable Silence. WEATHER Craig James The weather, it differs As March does from May, Making you wonder, What's coming the next day. If it's windy you know By the rustling of trees, And also from the dust, Which blows rather free. If it's rainy your day Seems locked up in gloom. But the minute the sun's out, It starts with a boom, The weather it changes And though it seems unfair, It's all part of nature So always beware THE WAR Debbie Andrews I heard a father saying, He said that he'd found a plan To end all the wars of man. But nobody cared. He asked them to drop their guns, To come home and love someone, To watch corn in the morning sun, Where children play. I'll never hold a gun for them, It's the blackest nights I see, There is so much work To do at home, When your mind is full of grief. Oh, when will they send my brother home, So he can be free With me? Jody Ashlock I hope you love me someday 'Cause Ilm your Enemy And I love you. DAY DREAMS Jody Ashlock I sit in this classroom my mind is unscathed by any other thought processes going on in the room For I am in my own world And none of them can touch my mind which is so far away. l . ll- .Q '-4 , ri, ' ' P I Jfdrgox His. . 1. THE IDEA James Hollenbeck An idea can be like a bomb, Explosive. Or like a dream, that vanishes Without a trace. Sometimes it's a forbidden, dark secret Hidden from light and ridicule. Ideas are wonderful and fateful, Spreading like an infection, Or rising and falling like a flood, Leaving only signs and remains Of a once empire. Debbie Andrews My world is like the earth, Sometimes I am covered with grief, Like the snow covered grass. MUSIC IN MY MIND Sue Lown As my mind wanders, so does the music, Wild and terrified thoughts gradually cease To wander in amazement at the small, soft sounds That fill the air. MYSELF Sue Lown Rainy days and red balloons, Mostly I am in thought, Thinking of time alone Smiling a lot, yet being sad I am just myself Reaching out to believe in me. Never needing to be alone, I wish. Wanting only to laugh, Not wildly, nor hysterically, Just a solid, good laughter. I wish everyone could try to See me the way I really am. Don't laugh so much, they tell me. Be happy all the time. Don't be alone so much And don't ask so much of us. They tell me to be myself, Don't they know that I am!! FLOWER Sue Lown A tiny seed alone . . . Building a beautiful empire All its own. Although it has many duties . . . It is still alone in An infinite garden of beauty Sprouting to cover the earth. A tiny seed alone . . . Building an empire All its own. COLOR ME GRAY Julie Hannen Today and everyday, no matter how bright the is gray for me. My eyelids may be open, but I do not see. No I am not blind. Blind is black. Mentally ill is gray. HAIKU Robin Burrell A large, grassy plain, Stretches as far as one can see Only for man to ruin. SLII1 Cindy Bauserman Autumn breeze blows in The windows to fill the room. The only one dancing. Judy Bauserman You sly little squirrel That acorn stashed in your home Was part of my tree. Incredible day The treetops reaching outward Try to grasp the sun. Julie Hannen An early spring rain . . . The creek overflows its banks, Once sign of freedom. Rich Heitman Hate is always there It grows out of many places And always brings sorrow He who is lonely Leads a very separate life He is just himself. Julie Hannen A late, rainy spring Midwest farmers scurrying To finish planting. Judy Bauserman Laugh for the scorners, If you let them weight life down . . You also will scorn. Cindy Bauserman When I need Him there, I have only to ask Him, Understanding Friend. Dull hot school routine, How I wish I were dragging My toes through fresh mud. EMERSON TALBERRY James Hollenbeck Emerson Talberry? Yes, I remember him He was that weird kid. He was always quiet Always kind and polite even to those who called him names, and constantly tormented him. Sure, he dressed poorly and looked at things differently than me. Emerson once took the rap for something I didg he was expelled for three days. But still I didn't accept him. Why? I don't knowg course I was on the team and, well, I knew he didn't like the game. At least I thought so, but one day I saw him play against his dad. Man, he was great! Why didn't he play in P. E. I wondered . . I found out his parents couldn't afford gym clothes, Why didn't I ask him to join us? I don't know. I didn't care about him. Nobody really did care. Now I wish I'd been a friend, but it's too late now. They found Emer- son with two cut up wrist in a dried pool of blood. Why did it happen? FUGITIVE James Hollenbeck I once tried to isolate myself from this world. I ran up to the highest mountain so that no one could come after me Ah, the peace and quiet, no one to worry about, Everything was so perfect But, one night some small weak voice Whispered, come back. Oh, I loathed the thought of returning To the place I had escaped. The people were so artificial, their Whole world was artificial. And they didn't care about anyone Only themselves. That voice kept on haunting me Then it happened, I decided to return To the false world of life Still today I don't know why I came back Jody Ashlock Somewhere is a good place to be. Anywhere is not so inviting. 1 4,1 Hjlllnlilllm WW W 'Nh'- Student Council Stresses Leadership The Student Council was probably one of the busiest of all organizations this year. Many com- mittees were set up. Among them were the Homecom- ing Evaluation Committee, an Awards Committee, an Assembly Committee, and a Student Lounge Com- mittee. The Council established a more efficient way of going to the lounge by the use of lounge cards. The budget was completely revised so the members could tell exactly where their funds were going. The members of the Student Council took on the respon- sibility of supervising the lounge which truly showed their leadership qualities. -. ':t, slat .

GRA Sales Boom Whether you are interested in get- ting into shape, releasing energy, or just making friends, GRA offers the oppor- tunity to do all three. GRA also offers the opportunity of gaining sales ex- perience. This year's group raised money for GRA trips by selling jackets, candy, stationary, bulletin boards, T- shirts, and posters. Many possible trips were discussed but no definite plans were made. GRA has increased its membership by a large margin this year.

The FNA has helped administer shots in the elementary class rooms, a very serious matter.

And The Queen Is Crowned. Queen - Debbie Roseberry Homecoming festivities began Tues- day with Homecoming week, presented by the Student Council. Each day was designated to a particular activity. Tues- day was Grub Day where everyone wore sloppy clothes. Wednesday was Clash Day and people wore clothes that didnlt match. That night the cheerleaders led a bonfire pep rally for the players to boost school spirit. Thursday was Dress-Up Day. In the afternoon there was an assembly in the gym where the student body voted on the 1972-73 homecoming queen. Friday was Player's Day where everyone honored the players. Friday night was the big night. The parade started at 6:15 with 28 float entries and the High School Band marching through Main Street. Prizes awarded to the top floats were: Class Float - Juniorsg Organizations Float - Browniesg Merchants - Rolling Acres Golf Course. The parade was followed by a football game where the Pointers met the Olin Lions. The half time score was C.P. 0 and Olin 12. After a performance by the band, the queen candidates were escorted onto the field. Last year's queen, Susan Kudr- na, crowned the new 1972-73 queen, Deb- bie Roseberry. Then the game resumed, but the Pointers couldnlt make it as the game ended C.P. 0 and Olin 12. To com- plete the homecoming there was a big dance after the game with Rye providing the music. Homecoming 1972- 73 was a big success. 47 Drama Presents: Twelve Angry J arors ' ' Above: Tom Mackey demonstrates to the jurors how he believes the stabbing took place.

It is not until then that Nellie realizes how much Emile means to her and how much she loves his children. Then as any beautiful story ends, after his war service is over, Emile returns home to Nellie and his children. Home - c On The Road To Better Living This year the Home-Ec depart- ment tried something new, enrolling 9 high school boys. Their first project was to sew their own aprons to wear while cooking. The boys did a fine job on them and were very proud of what they accomplished. They sur- prised everyone, making pies, angel food cake, cookies and many other things. The highlight was preparing a dinner for their fathers. By taking this class the boys learned many things they may need to know someday to survive in the world on their own. They also planned a trip to Cedar Rapids, inviting the girls Home-Ec classes. They toured the Colonial Bakery, Pepsi Cola Bottl- ing Co, and Armstrong's Mens Clothing Department. Following the tours, they observed the different types of homes in the area that they had studied about. In the long run, the boys have gained much knowledge about homemaking and now realize that it can be a struggle and is not always an easy job. , 4 e-'f 5 Wre-www. ,r T ..

Art Students Learn New Techniques iie'3'3 KH Left: Larry Nielsen at the ceramics counter, is busy kneading clay in preparation for the unit on pottery. Kneading is a process where the clay is worked with the hands in order to remove some of the moisture, and make the clay more suitable for pottery construction. Although it appears that Marcia Atwater is doing the same thing, she is actually rolling 134 pieces of pubble bubble together into one horse-choking hunk for her afternoon classes. Below: Working with clay has its drawbacks, as well as its good points. One of these is the tendency for hands to dry out, and become scaly and rough. All this can be avoided with a generous helping of a good hand lotion. Pictured is Kathy Stauffer applying some cornhusker's. Notice her hands are just as pink and soft as they were before using the clay. Below left: Mr. Butschi is helping David Hines develop his skills on the pottery wheel. The term for making a pot on the wheel is called throwing . This term was derived from the fact that with a beginning student, the pot is usually thrown against the wall, on the floor, or ends up in the student's lap. If the pot ends up in one piece, it is usually so bad that Mr. Butschi ends up throwing', it away. Band Marches At Dakota Days Band Festwal During the school year all 49 band students worked hard selling candy, candles, and giving concerts to raise money for their trip to Rapid City to participate in the Dakota Days Band Festival. Traveling by school bus, they left on a Thursday morning and arrived in Rapid City on Friday evening. The next morning they marched in the parade for 17 blocks. Our band queen, Susie Hough, rode in the parade in a convertible driven by her escort. The parade included 55 other bands consisting of approximately 4,000 students. Later that evening, all the bands met at the football field to watch the crowning of the queen and to play 3 songs together. Sunday was spent touring the Black Hills and seeing the Passion Play at Spearfish, Monday they headed home and stayed at Sioux Falls for the night. After a couple hours 1 of swimming the kids held a farewell party at the motel for Mr. Brom. With fun memories of the Midnight Marching Band and dunking Mr. Brom and the busdrivers, the band thought it was a very worthwhile trip. 52 Impressions Are M ode This group of students participated in a mock United Nations from April 7-9. The group was given the country Lebanon to represent and were responsi- ble for finding out as much as possible about it. Such things as history, government, culture, plus what the country had actually voted on in the U.N. had to be researched. In Cedar Falls they divided up into different committees and worked to get their resolutions passed, which was the main object. Those taking part not only had fun but learned alot about the U.N. and how itis run. Un The U . Trip Five students went to the United Nations from Center Point this year. They were Susie Hough, Sharon Mader, Mark Morarend, Philip Andersen, and Tim Jones. The group learned much about the United Nations while they were in New York. They attended a U.N. orientation which showed how the U.N. is run and discussed the Middle East problem. People from other coun- tries attended and were given a chance to tell about their own nation. Time was also spent doing a lot of touring. They saw China Town, a Broadway play, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Left: A session of the U.N. taking place right in the Center Point library. Actual- ly, it is a mock session set up for any stu- dent who wanted to participate. Segregation in South Africa was the sub- ject discussed and each person, representing a different country, tried to get a resolution for solving the problem passed. The cards with the countryis name on them are called placards and a person had to raise it, as Mike Hender- son is doing, in order to speak. nf' was r x vs -wgw Q , k,3if . r W i g lf' 1 1 ssl The 'Age Of Aquariusu Long 3 Darryl Hunter and Cheryl Dick decorate the gym for the Junior-Senior Prom.

Working together to increase school spirit, the varsity basketball cheerleaders cheered the teams on to many victories. Each night after school, they practiced their cheer routines and also planned the next week's pep meeting. For variety, they introduced new side line cheers at the pep meetings. The cheerleaders' job is to fire up the crowd in the best way possible to give the team support while they are playing. They must be a leader not only while in uniform, but also in the Pointer halls. When the season ended, the cheerleaders didn't stop. They went on promoting spirit Wherever they went. 5996591 JV Girls And Boys Were Always Uut To Win Front Row: Ann Weyant, Becky Rhoads, Mary Hannen, Terry Elgin, Connie Marek, Barb Carman.
