Teachers and students alike dreaded it as they do every year, and at the same time, couldn't wait for it to start, knowing that this year would bring alot of changes in the school system to make go- ing back a little more interesting. This was the first year of the rotating eighth period, which left 7th graders through seniors wandering the halls for quite along time, not knowing where they were supposed to be. A wider use of the package system of learning gave more students a wider range of choices in what subjects they could take, and how they would handle them. The addi- tion of a dark room opened up new channels in photography for the newspaper, the art department, and the annual. On a national level, this year brought with it the energy crisis, Watergate, S.L.A., another Mid Eastern War, the Exorcist, streakers, and a lot of political dissent and unrest. During all of this which cer- tainly affected our lives, we have gone through a lot of changes, made a few allowances, cut down on riding around on Friday nights, and managed to adjust. These things, and everything else that has happened this year, will no doubt be recorded among the precious and few moments we shared. affected our lives, we have gone through a lot of changes, made a few allowances, cut down on riding around on Friday nights, and managed to ad- just.

WIGGINS, GREGORY ZAHN, WALTER Football 4. One of Craig's hidden talents is his ability to do imitations. Here we see him doing one of a bookend. Florida We finally made it. Those words echoed thru the halls of C.P.H.S. when the class of 1974 reached their goal of 35300. Florida was now more than a dream. It was reality. The past 4 years had gone by quickly, and it was hard to believe that the one thing that would end it all, the Senior Trip, was close at hand. As Freshman it took so long to get used to high school that not much time was spent on making money for our trip. We didn't know it at the time, but our class was to be the last allowed to have fund raising activities for this purpose. In our Sophomore year we really got the ball roll- ing. We collected dues for the first time and our treasury now held the grand total of 35210. Money making activities didn't stop with the end of the school year. The summer between our sophomore and Junior years we ran the concession stand at all the softball and baseball games. After awhile it seemed as if we had popped enough popcorn to fill everyone in Center Point. When we were Juniors we sold magazines, and that's when the money started to pour in. We all worked hard, and made S1377.68. After our success at selling magazines, we felt infallible and planned a Sadie Hawkins Sock-Hop. We raffled away a few albums and made just enough money to be able to say we came out ahead. More fun was never had by all who participated, and that was just as important as how much profit we made. At the end of the Junior year we had a food stand at the Jaycees Carnival. We made some delicious tacos, and everyone else must have enjoyed them, because we sold them all.

RIGHT: Terry Nielson, Cindy Bauserman and Debbie Andrews, wash one of the many cars brought to the Senior car wash, or Bust lt didn't seem like 4 years, but here we were, seniors already and 34,245 short. The Junior-Senior Prom for the 1973 Seniors had decreased our treasury so we had a long way to go. We were sure of one thing, that we would have a carnival and it would be the best one inthe history of Senior Carnivals. There were quite a few hassles with this activity, but in the end everything ran smoothly and our carnival made more profit than any previous Senior Carnival. Still, this wasn't enough so we held several bake sales. Our next big project was also a success, after we finally finished it. There was never a more dedicated group of kids going from door to door selling oranges and grapefruits. And many of us will not be eating very many of either for a long time. Selling glasses was not one of our strong points. We did make 3235, but it didn't seem like anyone put full effort into selling glasses. We even had trouble with the salesman. That is how far we had gotten by January 1974, still S2000 short. The parents committee was formed, and helped us in our efforts to strive for our goal. Together 'we decided that one big project would be the best and fastest way to complete our goal. A raffle was planned and organized, and with everyone selling a minimum of 30 tickets our goal was finally reached. As freshman we would never have believed we could do it. Now as we look back on those 4 years, it is hard to believe that we actually did. But it was worth it all, to get to Florida.

The 1974 Seniors grossed more than any other previous Senior Class. The night club was one of the new attractions which brought in the most money. Entertain- ment consisted of Mark Conroy, pianist, Sue Lown, singer, Rich Heitman, Come- dian, and The Splintersj' a rock group consisting of Robin Burrell, Craig James, Mark Morarend, and Larry Wear. Other new attractions were, tricycle races, shotglass game, balloon shaving and an antique shop. Awards Day . . . The Day Awards Day was held May 17, 1974 at 9:00 A.lVl. Awards Day is a special day in which everyone gets an award for something they have achieved throughout the year. Things honored are organizations, academic classes, honor roll, and perfect attendance. The seniors are especially honored this day for they are in the final close of the 13 years in which they have attended school. Also announced Awards Day are the scholarships and grants that the seniors will receive from different colleges. Besides these things, the class will and prophecy are read. The class will and prophecy are read. The class will consists of statements in which seniors will things to underclassmen. Class prophecy is predictions of what the seniors will be doing in approximately ten years from now. Class Day is a big event for all students. After Class Day, the students went back to class bragging about the award they received whether just one or many while the seniors went home to relax.

Thirteen years of school were rapidly coming to an end. Many were very happy about the occasion but yet they still felt a little sad to think that high school was all over for them. A lot of them gathered around each other before walk- ing in reminiscing old times. Some sat in the corner nervously awaiting the moment when they would go up and receive their diploma. But we all have our memories and the memories that we shared with each other. That is something we will never forget. ff ABOVE RIGHT: Gary McNeal sits thinking of all the good and probably bad times he had during his high school years.

This year's class followed the footsteps of the class before them by elec- ting four Seniors to give speeches at com- mencement. The four were: Rhonda Owens, Donna Usher, Richard Heitmann, and Cindy Bauserman. These four people worked hard writing their speeches and rehearsing on the microphone. Everything turned out well and the commencement speakers did a fine job. With a little help from lVIr. Lammers and other faculty members, they sounded like professionals. ABOVE: Rhonda Owens addresses the Seniors and guests. The speakers were ner- vous behind stage but very calm when atthe microphone. The topics that they spoke on are four qualities every person needs to make it in today's society. They are: New Ex- perience, Courage, Diligence, and Accep- tance.

Mike Corum was the class Valedictorian. Mike was with us for only a year but his ac- complishments were many. Cindy Bauser- man was the class Salutatorian.

We went swimming and ate dinner and went to bed. The next night we were in Jennings, Florida-half way there. The next day we were in Daytona. We swam in the ocean and in the evening we walked on the beach. Thursday, we were in Orlando. We registered at the motel then went to Disney World, where we spent the afternoon. We relaxed in the evening and got ready for Fri- day. ln the morning we went to Cyprus Gardens. Then we spent the rest of the day at Disney World. Everyone enjoyed it but we were a little tired. Saturday we started home. We rode on a glass bottom boat and rode the steepest incline in the world. We got home on Tuesday, May 28, 1974, at 4:00. All the hard work paid off. We had a trip no one would forget. The last moments together shared by the Seniors will always be memories that are precious and few. A C TI VI TIES Annual Staff Utilizes New Dark Room w ..........

This is the year that a dark room came to C.P.H.S. With the help of Mr. Strempke, Mr. Butschi, and Mrs. Conroy the dark room was used almost everyday. There is an enlarger, dryer, film canaster, and film and picture developing chemicals. Rhonda Owens and Mike Corum were shown how to develop and enlarge pictures so they spent most of their time in the dark room. This is the first year the staff sold 250 books. It was a lot of work but it paid off. This is also the first year to have a colored picture on the cover, colored Senior Pictures and current event end sheets. A lot of time was spent on the Annual and inthe dark room. You'll be able to see just how much effort went into this book. We had a lot of fun putting the Annual together and we hope you have just as much fun reliving the many memories found here. sale is ONLY 5 QU if il TOP: Mike Corum is shown working with the enlarger in the dark room.

Homecoming Queen Rhonda Owens Every year there are five Senior girls elected from their class to be Homecoming Queen candidates: They are FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Cheryl Gerhold and escort Mark Haynes, Queen Rhonda Owens and escort Larry Wear, Kim Tritle and escort Robin Burrell, Donna Usher and escort Terry Nielsen, and Valarie Vos and escort David Roseberry. The Queen candidates were driven out on the field at half time in cor- vettes rented from the Corvette Club from Cedar Rapids. The girl's escorts during the half time were the drivers of their corvette. Each year Homecoming is a little different. This year the student council decided to go all out on Homecoming Week. Monday was the usual Hat Day, and Tuesday saw quite a few ripped up shirts and old clothes for Grub Day. Wednesday, students and teachers alike joined in a 50's day wearing long skirts and other outfits representative of that decade. A wall of paper held pledges from the students to the players on Thursday to show school support for the team. Thursday afternoon was filled with voting and predictions for homecoming queen. Also the cheerleaders and players led the students and faculty to the bonfire and pep rally. That night between showers of bubble gum and can- dy, spectators watched the parade around town. On Friday the players attended school in their jerseys impatiently awaiting the game, and that night the Center Point Pointers dueled the Maquoketa Valley Wildcats. At half time, the band displayed the outcome of alot of hard work. The Senior Class was designated winner of the class float contest with their theme You Expect More from Pointers and You Get lt, and last year's queen, Debbie Roseberry, crowned Rhonda Owens as the 1973-74 Homecoming Queen. Pointer pride and alot of spirit then led Center Point on to a victory with a score of 39-14 to celebrate a great end to an exciting week! After the game, everyone relaxed to the music of the Zyloceck Brothers at the dance, and another Homecoming became a precious memory. JUNIOR FLOAT SOPHOMORE FLOAT A Week to Remember FFKESHMAN FLOAT SENIOR FLOAT Every year a week before homecom- ing all the high school classes get together and choose a theme for their class float. Then appoint a committee to plan the float. Then comes the hassle of getting a hayrack, finding a place to build the float, and trying to get all the kids there to work. Well somehow all the floats were finished on time and they all looked great. The winning float this year was Senior's float whose theme was You Ex- pect More from Pointers, and You Get lt. It was a gas station on a football field with Pointer sign turning around from the top of the station. The Junior's theme was Stomp Em. They made a large foot that was stomping a wildcat into the ground. The Sophomore's float was Wildcats, Breakfast of Champions. They had a large box of wildcats and a cereal bowl with a wildcat's tail and paws sticking out on a kitchen table. The Freshman float was Recording a Victrola. It was a large victrola with a record playing that turned around with a Pointer Dog chasing a Wildcat on top of it. Much time was spent on the floats and they were all glad when they were done. But after they have all graduated they will remember the fun it was making and tear- ing down those time consuming and costly floats.

Needless to say, the juniors were quite busy the last few days. Decorations, snack bar, entertainment, guest speakers, programs and food for the banquet all had to be decided on. After one long day, decisions on these things were finally reached, and preparations started the following day. On May 1 decorations began to go up. Everyone was expected to help in this undertaking. Streamers were put up, the mural painted, and chairs and card- tables were set up in their proper places. The powder room was decorated, also. After three long, hard, seemingly endless days of work, the gym was finally ready. Finally, on Saturday, May 4th, the gym was revealed to the honored guests, the seniors.

However, problems arose because it was felt that candy and chip machines would interfere with the hot lunch program.

Industrial Arts Becomes Co-Ed Girls in lndustrial Arts Class? Never! That old phrase has been changed this school year. Along with girls venturing into shop class, came individualization. In preparation for the individualized course, Mr. Denison spent several weeks at school last summer writing and typing Pointer Paks. The boys worked steadily every day on these packets for various pro- jects. Woodcrafting, welding, and drafting are a few of the accomplishments of the boys. The girls have completed drafting, leatherwork- ing, woodworking, and automechanics. lt has been a very prospective year in shop class and will never be forgotten.

Business Education underwent a drastic change this year. lt went from the traditional method of teaching to individualized instruction. The star of the show is the Pointer Pak. The Pointer Pak were packets drawn up by Mrs. Conroy through the summer. Each pak covered a different phase of the course. The objective of the pak is for the student to be able to do the material with a minimum of difficulty. Typing I starts by learning the fundamentals of the typewriter. Typing ll begins getting re- acquainted with'the typewriter and increasing speed along with accuracy. Bookkeeping chang- ed to Accounting this year.

The Thespian Troupe 518 of Center Point have been busy this year. Starting off with a fall play they performed i984 by Orson Wells. Tom Mackey and Sue Kidd played the leads. The next event was the initiation of new members. Eight new members were sworn in, bringing the total to 40. In December a series of one-acts, duets, choral reading and reader's theater were presented. From these one-act plays were chosen to represent Center Point at the conference drama festival. This year the large group conference drama festival was held at Center Point. Center Point placed 2nd, following Central City and Starmont. Those receiv- ing l's at contest were the duet, Girls will be Girls, Renee McNeal and Paula Freeman, The Dilly, Tom Mackey, Sue Kidd and Don Sima, and Reader's Theater Tell-Tale Heart, Rich Carver, Ken Andersen, David Knight, Darryl Hunter, Charles Collingwood, Sandy Bowers, 8t Kathy Baird.

The Spirit of the 19 0's Return The spring musical this year was Bye Bye Birdie. The play takes place in the 195O's. All through school the spirit of the play was evident. The week before the play, spot announcements were heard and the day of the play the actors wore their costumes to school as f ..,,. ,, publicity for the play. T T The story is about a pop singer, Conrad Birdie tDavid Houghj who is drafted. His manager, Albert Peterson, tLarry Wearl and Albert's secretary, Rose Alverez, tSusan Schwiebertl come up with a way for Conrad to go out in style. Albert writes a song, ONE LAST KISS, and Conrad sings it to one of his millions of fans. The lucky girl is Kim lVlacAfee, tConnie Marekl of Sweetapple, Ohio. Conrad's arrival really throws the town into an uproar, when he convinces the teens of the town to run away and really live. But the play has a happy ending, and as a result Center Point will never forget Conrad Birdie The mayor's wife tGaiI Kramerl falnts, as Conrad sings You Gotta Be Sincere. The other ' citizens of Sweetapple, Ohio follow her example through the course of his song and soon Conrad is the only one left standing and unaffected.

Instead of marching in the Homecoming Parade, the students all voted to ride a hayrack which was indeed an unusual sight but went over with the greatest of success. Pep Band also played a major part of team support during the basketball season. lf one was not busy with basketball itself, then it was Pep Band. For some energetic people it was a little bit of both. On January 5, the band members headed towards Maquoketa Valley, where the annual Tri-Rivers Band Festival was to be held. Ten schools participated in this all day event. A night concert was held to show what one day's work can achieve. On January 11, the High School Band went to Cedar Falls where the Jazz Band Contest was held. The students found this to be an interesting day watching different bands perform in different ways. On February 16, after six long months of hard but fun practice, the High School Band performed their first con- cert of the year. After the concert, cookies and punch were served to the many people who attended. With state solo contest only a week away, band members found themselves to be more and more in the band room practicing for contest. Through their efforts, 5 I's, 7 ll's and 7 lll's were received on March 29 and 30 at Lisbon. March 29 turned out to be an exciting day for some of the band members: the new stage band equipment finally arrived. To some people it seemed like it took a long time to arrive but it was well worth the wait. The chocolate sales were well under way during Easter vacation for band members. Chocolate mints, chocolate bars and chocolate bars with almonds were the selection from which one had to choose from. Ever heard of Maynard Ferguson? Well, the Center Point Band Members have! On May 8 they attended a clinic and concert put on by Maynard Ferguson at Coe College. May 14 seemed liked a long way off, but time went fast for the band members and for director, Paul Clark, May 14 was the date for the last concert of the year. This concert was entitled Pops Concert. It turned out to be a smashing and successful night for all.

At Christmas time the choir presented a very meaningful Christmas concert. Choir members carried candles as they processed into the gym- nasium.

Something different took place in the Podium editorship this year. It rotated throughout the year to various staff members. Not only did one person enjoy the honors and perils of being an editor: the whole staff, at different times, played the part at least once. The newspaper staff also enjoyed a full day out of school to attend a journalism workshop at the Universi- ty of Iowa.

Delegates will leave April 18th to attend the Model U.N. Session at Cedar Falls for 2 nights and 3 days. At this session topics such as apartheid, fuel crisis, and Southern Rhodesia will be discussed. Each school there will represent a different country.

Creative Writing Reflects and Observes Sometimes the simplest expressions provoke the deepest thought. These thoughts that spring from heartfelt experience often mean more than lengthy manuals of advice. No special artistry or acute insight is claimed for the reflections brought together in this section. Yet, it is hoped that these observations by some of the youth of Center Point of life around them will add an extra degree of warmth, understanding and thoughtful consideration to those of us who have let youth slip by. The writings were done in the Creative Writing class which is an English elective course offered to students, grades 10-12. The artwork accompanying some of the writing is a contribution from students in the high school art classes. The art media included are India ink and felt tip markers. The work was done by Nancy Kouba, Carole Eberhardt and Debbie Rezab. Mrs. Whitehead, sponsor, Cindy Bauserman, Susie Hough, Julie Squires and Sandy Huckins. KEEP YOUTH IN YOUR HEART When time seems to have passed you by and your eyes have grown dim, Look around you at those people and things that have spilled your life's cup over the rim. And slowly soak in all the memories of the past, Remembering the bright look in your eyes when you thought love would always last. How you once could hold a thorn in your hand and see the beauty of the rose, And the ice-covered creek could become a gurgling brook licking wriggling toes. How there was joy in planting the seedling and watching it grow, And you could look at the dripping orange of sunset, and seem able to touch life's very soul. Then put down the book you were reading and seek again Iife's truth, And taking up the pen and ink draw upon those carefree days of youth. And peering through the looking glass of time, write it down in the dusky evening glow, That someone else may someday stumble upon it when life tor them has become weary and slow. And they can see through your eyes, the rose beyond the thorn, And the green meadows and wind bobbing daisies will again be reborn. For throughout life, whatever you search for, you will surely find, And in writing it down it will be exposed forever on the sensitive emulsion sheet of your mind. -Donna Whitehead I WAS LIVING FOR YOU Cindy Bauserman i bore a small child, my daughter, my own, curled in my arms, i'd rock her to sleep. i cannot express the feeling i've known for i loved her, my child, with a love heaven deep. my daughter, my daughter, what will i do now that you're gone? i was living for you. i once had a son, he was free as the sky he was mellow and strong with a quiet of mind but the world that he knew held him tighter than i and he left me to see what there was to gtankind. my son, my son, what will i do now that you're gone? i was living for you. i bore a small child, my chid, my own but it seems that he loved other things more than me. i pray for you children, while you're on your own and i pray that for you, there's a way to be free. my child, my child, what will i do now that you're gone? i was living for you.

A DREAM Cindy Bauserman i closed my eyes and in the dark a-floatin' in the air, i saw a question mark of light ascend an illuminated stair. it turned into a moon next time i chanced to close my eyes and a sillouette in human form shadowed across its skies. the human form it multiplied 'til many stood before a painting neon finger 'cross their open empty floor. their heads portrayed some wondrous things enlightened beyond compare but still the question mark ascends the illuminated stair. FOR COMFORT Cindy Bauserman sister moon with hair of sky adorned in light chant to me your silence of sincerity. Cindy Bauserman i saw someone today and he saw me. his smile when he said hi was forced. i watched him walk home not a minute later, and found it hard to believe we were once close friends. it's twelve hours later and i wonder if it bothered him as long as it did me, or if it did at all. Cindy Bauserman i had the sunset in my heart: for life had been bright and strong, the moon in my handg for it was cool and thoughtful, stars in my head: for gentle memories played in my mind, . . . . and clouds in my eyes.

Cindy Bauserman ah, my friends, grind me into the ground and twist me beneath your heels. maybe someday i'll be your friend again, or you'll realize why i'm not. Julie Squires Today is tomorrow's dream You worried about yesterday. DOROTHY Cindy Bauserman Dorothy walks around, bubbling with anxiety to talk to someone - for someone to be interested. She paces the room from window to window, just waiting for some handsome young man to sweep her off her feet. The bell rings, and she walks to her next class, watching, as around every corner a couple is talking softly, and look- ing romantically into each others' eyes. lt hurts, and Dorothy longs to have a boyfriend too. lf you weren't such a clumsy, inferior thing, you might have one, she tells herself, and resolves to turn over a new leaf. Okay, use your head, think before you act, don't force yourself on anybody, and keep your big mouth shut! Returning to the throng of bustling, chattering, shuffling students, Dorothy is quiet. She sits back and waits for everyone to notice the change in her. Everyone seems to have forgotten that she even exists, so she convinces herself that she is good for nothing, and will never be loved. She goes home, turns on the record player, and listens to the stories of lost and found loves, pains, and hap- pinesses, falls in love with the singer, and cries herself to sleep. Cindy Bauserman once i remember you said i'd always have a friend when i needed one and i said you did too. does it still hold? we haven't talked for so long i think we've grown apart . . . but you're hurting yourself and i can't sit back and watch it. will you please do something for me aYtd stop? or did i hurt you as much as you're hurting me? HEAL ME Cindy Bauserman roar wind! compensate for the pain i've felt today. let your thrashing raindrops carry with them my sorrow, and let me feel the tranquility after your storm. PONDERING Cindy Bauserman my friend the waters, how still you flow. when life around you rushes by, when life around you ceases to be, i wonder if you'll still be there. time flows with you, flows from your source and gathers with your ocean - beginning again as your clouds carry it back to flow once more. are you time itself? you are life and hope, but are you eternity? I AIN'T NEVER GOING TO FORGET Julie Squires It was a Thursday after recess. We were coming in from outside. We all took our coats off and sat down. Miss Appleby was starting to talk when Bill yelled. Ouch! She sharply asked Bill what the matter was. Jim pinched me, he moaned. Jim spoke up right away. No I never! Miss Appleby frowned and corrected him. No I DIDN'T. Jim replied quickly, a little puzzled, I neverthought you did, but I never either. You didn't either! Jim beamed, thinking he had been found innocent. That's right! he said. Well, we shall forget this. She asked me who had done it. I ain't telling, I said, wishing not to be clobbered by Jim at the next recess. As she looked at me, the wrinkles in her face suddenly grew taunt. She turned around and walked stiffly to her desk. Now children. she said, You all know what this penny is for. Anyone who says ain't will carry this penny everywhere -tothe bathroom and at recess. As she walked toward me, a giggle slipped out, but as she got closer my smile diminished. She handed me the penny and said, Now you carry this until someone else says ain't. My lower lip jutted out and reluctantly I took the penny. Now that Miss Appleby is many years behind me, I knew I ain't ever going to forget her. AGNES Cindy Bauserman Agnes takes out all of her Teen magazines, and sits down on her bed, the top ten on the stereo turned up full blast. She flips through the pages, looking at all the pictures of the perfect couples. She makes a list of all the things that the girls in the pictures are wearing and using so that she can be just like them. By the end of the last song, Agnes has gotten a little lonesome, and calls up some friends to talk awhile. After hanging up, she already misses her friends, and has grown tired of her poster, record and magazine world, so Agnes decides to go out and find some excitement. She gets into her parents' car and rides around town talking and laughing with the people she meets, until she sadly realizes that it's time to go back home. mmlllllllllw fm' I IIIW W X if Q x 1 s N 1 'X I , 5 I h,.b ..'

For some reason it's a quiet day, to spend thinking. . .remembering all the things that have happen- ed to me in the past year. l've grown up. I'm different. I don't unders- tand it. lt's like there's a spell on me which makes me feel odd. I don't know. I think and think. All I think about is how l've changed. Why have I changed? Perhaps l'll never know. A FRIEND Susie Hough She is an artist. Not necessarily one who paints great pictures, or writes deep poems, feven though she's good at bothl. Her talent is one more precious: a talent for living. She finds little paths through loneliness, disappointments, and the monotony of life's routines. Her art is performed quietly, and nearly always unknowingly. ' She shows through her actions, that it is just as important to en- joy as it is to create. She always seems to make the most out of what she has to work with, creating beauty, happiness, and sharing herself with others. Challengingly, she faces life honestly, and seemingly without fear. Nature is the soul of her life, and she is a part of it. She plans on using wisely what it has to offer, and preserving the remains for others to enjoy. She has the magic or knowledge of taking and awakening people to an awareness of themselves, and finding love, faith, and hope in others. DEAR BROTHER Sandy Huckins I have no talent for sports But you throw the football so far and straight, And when you throw the baseball it always gets a strike. You want to play in the Superbowl And you want to be in the World Series, And I know you will succeed. You were never cuddly, Yet you were Grandma's baby. You always hated girls. But you can't hide the fact That you don't hate them anymore. I hear you talk of your good grades, You have some sense of responsibility. Dear brother, I think you are growing up. ALLISON Susie Hough From my seat in the back row, I cast a look at the rest of the class. Some sat motionless, and some were squirming, but Allison was seemingly having a ball. She and four other girls were throwing papers back and forth, and shouting about their daily occurrences She always seemed to be having a good time, and always had something to say, whether anything needed to be said or not. Allison tells Louise to wait for her because she is going to be late for shop class, and she doesn't want to walk in alone. Her life seems so dependent on others, and not enough on herself. It appears that she needs alot of people to have a good time, and feels very bored when she is alone. Allison thinks highly of herself, and if others don't feel the same way, that's their tough luck. She may feel that she has a lot of friends, but they may be in quantity and not in quality. I think that some day the things she values most, and her most precious possessions will change with her age. Susie Hough The door squeaks open and the old clock on the dresser emits fully the last of the four bongs it had to give. He sways across the room, with alcohol amidst his breath, as if squelching through a glob of silent mud, trying not to make a sound. He slips out of his clothes and flops into bed. He is safe. That's when my mind began to tick. Every night it was the same thing - coming home, not knowing what he was doing to himself or anyone else. Time to him was nothing except a few more dollars to fatten his wallet, having dinner when the hands on the clock are vertically colinear with one another, and going uptown for another repetitious round. He thinks he has everything in life, because life to him contains only material things, things that supposedly impress people. He real- ly has nothing. I should really be fortunate since he has made me realize the way I don't want to turn out to be. Maybe I have nothing in life, in his eyes, but at least I have a goal besides material things, and to me that is something. PAINTINGS Susie Hough A dry piece of canvas tediously frosted with paint. Visible thoughts, captured moments, Dreams Man portrays his feelings, loneliness, happiness, times to remember, lVIind seeds Blooming THE OLD TABLE Sandy Huckins That old table, Chipped, stained, Cleaned with care Every night It was my Grandmother's First table, Still then, It was old. Now it is passed on To my mother, Getting new stains, And getting older. Someday I may have it. When I am older, And then it will be my turn, To take care of it. Cindy Bauserman make a dollar you damn fool, don't ya know that's what it's all about? you gotta make a living by pushin' others out. the end. STANDIN' STILL Cindy Bauserman i'm sitting alone and thinkin' while the world outside it moves, and time for me it's standin' still i'm wonderin' how it does. my mind is roamin' 'bout the life and times that i once knew and i can't help but question why they can't be now with you. oh you were young and so was we thought we were so old. we left the times a-standin' still and time it grows so cold. time it moves so fast sometimes, i feel it often does but time can also stand so still - i guess it's just because. TH E C LOCK Cindy Bauserman i saw a clock - it looked down from a mountain made of ice, it ticked away the seconds in a patchwork of concise. time was based upon that clock and life is based on time so the clock ticked 'way the seconds of Iife's ancient pantomime.

Sandy Huckins Each night going to bed was terrible, especially when the lights were turned off. l've watched too many horror movies not to be cautious. Every night I would check to see if Frankenstein's monster was hiding in my closet, and to see if there was a werewolf lying beneath my bed. Maybe there was a huge man eating snake under my dresser ready to attack and devour me the minute my light was turned out. There was never a Frankenstein monster hiding in my closet. There was never a werewolf under my bed, and l've yet to be at- tacked and devoured by a man eating snake. Still, I think l'll be cautious - just in case. Susie Hough i dreamed of all these things: to be a sprig of mint a drop of water . . . a crystal i dreamed SOMEDAY l'LL WAIT Susie Hough You're endlessly searching for me, Missing me one place And searching another, Someday l'll stop And wait for you. Cindy Bauserman i'm stumblin' up a mountain of steeply inclined stair and wonderin' if i'Il ever reach its peak, and it's been on my mind whether anyone's been there, or if everybody else is just as weak. THE WATCH Julies Squires The watch, tarnished, cracked, ticks slowly, golden time. My grandfather would sit for hours staring at that watch, a reflection of time past. His memories start to come into focus. He remembers when he was a small boy. Now when he sits looking at it, a small tear runs slowly down his cheek. TREE IN AUTUMN Cindy Bauserman today i will die as i have hundreds of times before. i have given up my children to face existence on their own and i too stand naked beneath the sky, unprotected, yet unafraid - for the next rebirth will be even more glorious than the one before. Cindy Bauserman sitting around blankly, i cross hatch a few dozen rectangular spaces on the paper and try to think of something original to write, but all i can think of is the amount of ink i just wasted. WORD PLAY Sandy Huckins Multrifarious beam Mountioneed lambency, and Hypnotic distortion, Gives a sinister Sheol-like appearance. LAUGHTER AND TEARS Cindy Bauserman i am listening to the laughter and tears of many and as they pierce my strength with cannons, i absorb all to retreat to a solitary corner to laugh and to Julie Squires A black beard with white lines, through my glasses a picture of Mark.

I traveled to Washington iD.C. of coursei Saw the capitol, the Whitehouse and the memorials of past great Americans. Strange it was, I still didn't know where America was. I didn't know it existed! I flew up to Boston and walked and examined the city. But still no luck. Somehow I felt it must lie West. Wasn't in Kentucky, nor Chicago. Couldn't even be seen in L.A. I traveled northward to Alaska and saw the last frontier. Even there I remained blind to America. Discouraged and defeated, I slowly journeyed home. The America I couldn't see - Was now slowly forming before my eyes. People stating their beliefs. New houses and industries all giving rise to a New America. America is all around us! People dreaming and building for a new life, a new hope and the right to self-improvement. Isn't this what America is? Look out the window! Look. see America? Julie Squires I think of the love that we share as a passion for togetherness that we'll always have in the future.

The football cheerleaders have worked hard FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Nancy Kouba, Cindy 17' ABOVE: David Roseberry and Larry Wear performed as stats keepers for Coach Rogers. They kept records of tackles, intercep- tions, and the number of yards the pass or kick traveled. The 1973 football season came in like a lamb but roared out like a lion. The Pointers lost their first 2 games, but came back impressively to tumble 7 op- ponents in a row. The 6-1 conference record was the best finish in Center Point's history, The team had op- timism throughout the season under the fine guidance of Coaches Rogers, Dillon, and Whitehead. Coach Rogers in his first year at Center Point, compiled a 7-2 record while also finishing 3rd out of 50 teams competing for the Section Ill playoff position in the A classification. The Pointers last game was a crucial contest in that the team prevented East Buchanan from going to State because of their victory over Springville 14-12. Coach Rogers came from Nesco of Zearing and has found a vital place inthe life of Center Point. The Pointers placed 5 men on the first team of the All Tri-Rivers Selections. They are: Mark Haynes, defensive end, Center Point's own terrible twosome, the Nielsen twins, Larry, defensive tackle, and Terry, offensive guard. Philip Lala was named to defen- sive back while a newcomer, a transfer from Central Ci- ty, Mike Corum was a unanimous selection at offensive halfback. Three boys received honorable mention. They are: Robin Burrell, halfbackg Mark Morarend, defensive tackle, Don Elgin, linebacker. Terry Nielsen also receiv- ed all-State recognition. Pictured FROM LEFT TO RIGHT are the Senior Lettermen. They are: Terry Nielsen, Mark Morarend, Robin Burrell, Mike Corum, Don Elgin, Tim Jones, Larry Nielsen, Coach Rogers, Robert Sieck, and have worked long and hard and now their high school football days are over.

The varsity is losing 11 lettermen and the Junior varsity is going to have to take over a lot of responsibility. They worked hard this year to have a winning season and if they continue to work hard, Center Point will have more winning seasons to come. tilli iis lcli sst if cis. ilis istty aiti f sillitl siciii fti z t.,lL if lt'll lli in sill sfsr The J.V.

The boys lost their first two games disappointingly and came back strong to win 14 games in a row, including the Conference Championship. The good fortune was not to be as the team was overcome by the flu before Sec- tionals and never fully recovered. The Pointers bowed out in the Sectionals Finals after a lopsided loss to North Linn, whom they had previously beaten twice. Returning next year will be six of 12 members of the squad including Phil Lala, a first team All- Conference pick, and Mike Meyer, an Honorable Mention choice. David Roseberry, a first team All- Conference choice, led the Pointers in scoring with a 17 point average. Phil Lala led in rebounding. Other chosen to receive All-Conference Honors were Robin Burrell, Second Team, and Gary McNeal, Honorable Mention. RIGHT: The six Senior Lettermen who have finished their last season of basketball at Center Point are Larry Wear, Dave Fioseberry, Darryl Hunter, Gary Joe McNeal, Mark Haynes, and Robin Burrell. These 6 boys have participated in for six years. They've shown leadership and team spirit throughout the basketball season. They have contributed a lot to the basketball team and they have set a fine example for next year's Seniors. 5' f tw - -was -,. ni. 5 ,, , . . . 1.2, 5 Ah , V. . gg, lr 'f :..f'i' .. ,,f ,, , . ..,.. . i:,,,,.::, . - f, , 1 ,. s. 3 it tt 7 , , ,. 5 . 4 . .,.., W.

Girls Basketball Rebuild nder Coach For the first time in 18 years Center Point had a new girls basketball coach. Mr. Ken Dinger moved to Center Point after coaching boys basketball at Dubuque Senior. The girls were all a little nervous about a new coach but Mr. Dinger made a great hit. He proved to be an understanding coach and soon earned the respect of the team members. The highlight of the year was beating their old coach who moved to Maquoketa Valley. lt was the toughest four quarters the girls ever played. But on the return bout they overpowered us in the 4th quarter. Tears were shed, but the girls looked forward to tour- naments. Coach Dinger plans on a good season next year. He is losing only one Senior. They had a record of 13-10 and was 4th in the con- ference, runner-up of Sectional cham- pionship, and District Consolation Winner. Regarding this years scoring record, Susie Schwiebert led the forward court in the number of points with a total of 589. Rhonda Owens, only Senior, had the highest number of rebounds with 131. Susie Hough had 54 in- terceptions which was high for the year. Dinger ABOVE: Rhonda Owens is the only Senior Lettermen this year. She has played basket- ball for 6 years, including Junior High.

In the middle of the season they lost their coach, Mrs. Nancy Coffman, who resigned after her marriage. Her replacement was Mr. Schwiebert, who did an excellent job. The girls worked hard in every game they played. But the opponents were too much for them. They always had team spirit and teamwork. The high scorer was Jody Hough and the top rebounder was Mary Usher. Even though they did not do very well record wise, they knew they had done their very best.

They had a new coach. Mr. McCulla, who came to Center Point from Coe College, did a fine job. The boys exhibited a lot of strength and they will certainly be a tremendous asset to future teams. They have a lot of height and speed and many of them will be playing varsity next year. ABOVE LEFT: Gene Fisher and teammates are ready for the rebound. LEFT: The J.V.

Pointers Dominate the Track L ' . l7753fii.i S 1974 was a year of firsts for the Center Point trackmen. The Pointers started the season by capturing the class B title at the Viking Relays - the first invitational cham- pionship in the school's history. The Pointers finished well in the remainder of the invitational meets while defeating Alburnett and North Linn in duals and Cen- tral City and Springville in a triangular. The season was climaxed by capturing the con- ference title - again the first ever in the history of the school. Forty-four boys competed in track-the largest squad ever. The squads success was due in no small part of this overall depth. TOP LEFT: Mark Haynes, the senior high jumper, is leaping over the bar. His record is 5' 5 . BOTTOM LEFT: Mike Corum, ,another senior, is performing his pole vault event. He set a new school record which is 12'O . :Z 69 ln the past, there was an athletic banquet held in the spring of the year to honor all athletes. lt was catered so all we had to do was come in and eat. Tradition changed again. This year there were two banquets-one in the fall for the fall sports such as baseball, softball and football. Then another in the spring for spring sports such as basketball and track. Another idea was-instead of having it catered, why not have it potluck? So they did. The athlete's family had to bring either a main dish, salad, vegetable, or dessert. Whoever thought of the idea should be congratulated because it was a great idea. LEFT: Bernie Saggau, executive secretary of the Iowa High School Athletic Association, addressed the athletes. He was interesting and very witty. After his speech, the coaches of the fall sports handed out the awards. In the past, all awards were given out on Awards Day.

Everyone brought something for a potluck supper. The difference was, they were honoring the athletes in the spring instead of the fall sports. At both banquets the cheerleaders for the season were the waitresses. In the fall ban- quet, football cheerleaders were the waitresses. And at the spring banquet basketball cheerleaders did the honors. Both banquets were a success. I ABOVE RIGHT: The guest speaker for the Spring banquet was Buzz Levick.

Last year's squad had no Seniors, so that is where all the experience comes from. The boys are really enthusiastic about the season. They started out on the right track winning the first game.

To begin the excitement, they broke the school record for number of magazines ever sold. Then in December, they sponsored a sock-hop after a basketball game to add a little excitement to the school routine. The juniors had to decide on a theme and a band forthe prom. They decided to treat the Seniors to an Oriental theme and Sorenson's Sex- tet provided music for the evening. Finally, the end of the year arriv- ed, and everyone said good-bye, until we meet again next year .

Their Homecoming Float with the title Breakfast of Cham- pions, came in third. Everyone pitched in and did a fine job of mak- ing the float. Denise Nelson and Steve Mrkvicka were elected Senior Carnival Queen and King can- didates. Steve won and was crowned Carnival King for 1974. Through a new rule, they have also begun payments for their Senior Trip. There is a choice of paying a partial fee each year, or paying the entire amount in their senior year. A few have already paid the total sum. It seemed like it took forever for the man to come to take class ring orders for the anxious sophomores. But finally he came late in the year. All of the sophomores ordered the ring of their choice which they will receive in their Junior year.

One of the changes the school board made was to drop the book rental fee for this year. The board approved dropping the baccalaureate service as requested by this year's Senior class. The board also approved implemen- ting individualized courses for the in- dividual students. lndividual learning packets known as Pointer Paks are utiliz- ed for this purpose.

Little People Tackle Big Jobs Mrs. Elouise Corky Kramer Secretary for Mr. David Lammers Mrs. Arlene Bowers Secretary Mrs. Wanda Rae Domer Secretary for Mr. John Schwiebert Some of the many duties of a secretary are taking lunch tickets, paging people on the P.A. system and answering the telephone. Unlike a good child, Corky is many times heard but not always seen. Mrs. Domer is usually assisting Mr. Schwiebert. Everybody in the school sees Mrs. Bowers once a day when they go down to lunch. The secretaries' jobs are endless. 101 102 Bus Drivers Janitors and Cooks Provide Vital Services If you ever hear a clattering of pans and the cackling of voices while walking in the All-Purpose hall some early morning it is probably the cooks preparing the daily menu. Preparing the meal is not the only job of the cooks. They also have the hard job of trying to please the students and most important the teachers. The cooks this year are Lois Sweeting, Darlene Denison, Esther Gerhold, Bernadine Nelson, Lillian Kouba, and Fiosina Cress. Q1 'NX XLQI The gas conserving bus drivers are: Harold Domer, Mrs. Fluth Attwood imini bus driverj, Norman Anderson, Sam Lewis, Arnold Ditch, Clair Bowers and Harold Lanning. There people had to keep their speedometers set at 50 MPH at all times even on long out-of- town trips. Wayne Wyeth and Galen Amundson, the two school maintenance engineers, are taking a break in their favorite hiding spot called the Custodial Suite. Teachers are constantly drop- ping by to see what changes and ad- ditions are being made to this very popular room. Besides keeping the high school neat and in working condi- tion, they conduct gab sessions at in- tervals throughout the day. The custodians are constantly picking up after students. Such as, picking gum off chairs, off carpeting and even oft the ceilings. Throughout the day, one is constantly hearing Will Wayne or Galen please call in? over the inter- com. A major part of their job is to keep calm while receiving complaints about the rooms being too cold since the thermostats are locked at 680 to con- serve fuel. As one can see, the job of a custodian is not as luxurious as one might think.
