Chesley put the Bison in the lead when he broke off tackle and scampered 64 yards to score early in the second period. Then with only seconds to go in the game, Chesley again hit paydirt by h e IVZWvLAvAv- WA w. x' - HARVEY CORDSEN DALE CHESLEY Sharing a Genoa desperation pass and returning it 82 yards for his second touchdown. Although the Green showed signs of life at times, penalties time and again bogged the team down. Charles Dunovan, Bison guard, led the Central defense. ' v...

Speedy Dale Chesley again was the whole show for Central by scoring two touch- downs, an extra. point, and averaging 6.9 yards every time he lugged the pigskin. During the night's performance, the Green picked up 14 first downs to the Mustangs' 7, while the locals picked up a total of 225 yards. A light but speedy Aurora eleven gave the Bison their first loss of the season by rolling over Central 24-7 in a conference tilt. Chesley tallied the Greens only counter on a mid-field pass from Donovan Crandell. John Edgar hit center for the extra point. Coming back full of fight, the Green and White evened their conference record by stopping Fuller- ton 18-7. Chesley put the Bison ahead in the early minutes of the game when he broke off tackle and romped 60 yards to score.

The Warriors got back in the game in the third stanza when a blocked kick and a bad pass from center on two successive plays gave the ball to Fullerton near the Bison goal from where they took it over and placekicked the extra point to put the score at 12-7. However, the Bison iced the game in the last quarter on a pass from Crandell to Chesley cover- ing 16 yards and a touchdown. With every man seeing plenty of action, Central smothered hapless St. Paul 41-0 at St. Paul. Don Chandler led the scoring spree with three touchdowns, with Chesley getting two and Cran- dell one. Umphreys, Nixon, Shields, Nine, and Mont- gomery added extra points. Undefeated Albion came to Central on Color Day and went away with a hard earned victory by stopping the Bison 14-2. The speedy Cardinal back- field was constantly threatening to break away; , w V WMWWW-i wwmmavo, .7. .- tn 4 m M vx w. mamu VMWkWM-amtx wavsSngaV DON GLANTZ Center, Senior Tackle-HB, Senior Guard, Sophomore Height-5' 10 Height-6' Height-S' 11' Weight-173 Weight-177 Weight-175 Page 13 rmtthm-m. ewe- A ess ;. mmV-awl RAY NIXON TODD TEGLER w wnmewmmh MMMV. a w s MW m ....

It was not until early in the second period that Albion notched their first touchdown on a 15 yard pass from Dunagan to Streeter. Dunagan gave the Cardinals their second counter on a 10 yard jaunt off the weak side. Central got their two points on a safety in the fourth frame. in the heartbreaker of the season, Gibbon came from behind in the final twa seconds of play to stop the Bison 12-7. Big Jim Lyons, one of high schools better passers, was the big gun for the Buffaloes and tossed the winning pass. Central City got off to a 7-0 lead in the first period when Don Glantz blocked a Gibbon punt near mid-field. The Bison recovered and marched 44 yards to score with Dale Chesley going over on a plunge. Chesley also added the extra point. Then, with the Bison fighting with their backs to the wall most of the last quarter, Lyons threw the winning pass. Gibbon also scored their first touchdown on a pass in the last stanza. 13, N..,...i...,..w, , .mm,:.,.mirm , Wm...

However, the shocked Bluejays came back to down Central 21-6 and clinch a. share of the conference crown. Led by Hagemoser, Rivers, Rolfsmieir, and Briggs, the Bluejays completely outplayed the Bison in the second half as the Bison could never get going. Armistice Day brought the football season to a dismal end as the Green bowed to David City 26-0 on a wet field at David City. Muntz and Kucera each scored two touchdowns for the Scouts as they scored once in each period. Don Glantz and Don Chandler were the outstanding players for Central City in the last game. Aurora and Seward shared the Central Five Conference crown as each team had three wins and a single loss in league play. Fullerton and Central City shared the bottom rung with an opposite record of the leaders. David City had a 2-2 record for the middle spot. men.

At least the school paper has made some progress since it was established in 1946. As the 4901's trudged west for wealth and opportunity, so the staffs of the school paper strug- gled to develop an instrument of student expression which might reflect the activities of the school, entertain the readers, promote student and com- munity spirit, and afford an instrument of educa- tion. In its first year of publication, the GREEN WAVE was a 14 page mimeographed paper dis- tributed monthly. The following year it became a 4 page 9V2 x131A; printed edition which was enlarged to a 11V2 x15 sheet this year. However, it remained a monthly edition. Not only in size but also in content and appearance each staff sought improvement; with successful results. In an effort to establish a higher journalistic standing, the 1948-49 staff enrolled in the National Scholastic Press Association which offers a yearly critical analysis of each member publication and the Quill and Scroll, the international honorary 50a ciety for high school journalists, which proposes to encourage and reward individual achievement in journalism and creative writing. Besides organizing and editing the school paper each month, the GREEN WAVE staff sponsored other projects. It published and sold programs dur- ing the home basketball games, and the county and district basketball tournaments which netted $95.00. Several contests and polls were held. As the paper is a seIf-supporting project, advertising was sold monthly. The subscription drive was lannched with a presentation of a play, How Not to Run a. Newspaperl' The highest point of circulation was 275 with an exchange list numbering 25. Norman Rasmussen edited the GREEN WAVE the first semester; Le Anne Iwan assumed the editor's responsibilities the second semester. Kris Nelson served as business manager both semesters. The staff was reduced from 15 to 11 the second semester when LeRoy Rosenquist and Gilbert Rose left school and vOren Rawlings and Glenn Marsh dropped the course. The GREEN WAVE was under the sponsorship of Miss Irene Moerer and was printed by the Central City Republican. Page 19 g. a V ,. ,,$ '49 BAND BACK IHHV: J. C. Hauserman, Donn Cline, Donna. Highee.

Band was very active during 1948-49. It attended the State Fair in Lincoln, the Homecoming in Hastings, the Harvest of Harmony in Grand Island, and Band Day in Lincoln. The main event of the year for the Band and the instrumental small groups took place on April 8-9, 1949. On these two days, they took part in the District 7 Music Contest at Fullerton. The Band rated a superior for the seventh straight year. The Brass Sextette rated a superior for a record of nine superiors in the past ten years.

At a. class meeting held early in the year, the sophomores elected Gary Jensen as president to lead us through our second year at C. C. H. S. Norma Henk, Marilyn Sinsel and Gene Lewis were chosen as the other officers. Miss Schutte was chosen sponsor. The sophomores were very active during the year. We had a party January 29, at which we presented a necklace to Barbara Brewer as a going away present. We also served at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Although we have a small percentage of boys in our class, those who participated in athletics were outstanding. Don Glantz was on the starting line-up in football, and Paul Grosshans and Donn Cline also lettered. Other members of the squad were Kenneth Charron, Dale Hoffschneider, Gene Lewis, Roger Malm, Elgin Nelson, Duane Eaton, and Edwin Umphreys. Although none of the sophomores lettered in basketball, Don Glantz, Donn Cline, Elgin Nelson, and Roger Malm helped to make up the second team. As freshmen, Roger Malm, Gene Lewis, Elgin Nelson, and Edwin Umphreys lettered in track. Athletics was not the only field in which we were active. Many sophomores were in the Pep Club, Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Band, and Chorus Groups. Barbara Little and Janet Crites were outstanding in choral small groups. Donn Cline was also outstand- ing in instrumental music as a. member of the Saxophone Quartette. Joyce Lindahl was one of four who participated in the oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion. Although this year has been very successful, we are looking forward to next year as juniors.

At the first meeting officers were elected for the year. Darrell Montgomery was elected president, Don Chandler, vice-president, and Don Glantz, secretary-treasurer. It was decided that the C. C. Club members would sell refresh- ments at the basketball games. They sold at the last five games and the district tournament. The profits were used in purchasing new equipment for the auditorium. C. C. Club membership is open to all boys who have been awarded a letter in sports. To become a member of the organization a boy must earn a letter and pay a registration fee of twenty-five cents and must pay dues of ten cents for each meeting. ' The letter, ttC. 0., may be suspended from anyone who does not uphold the morals of the letter. The C. C. stands for good sportsmanship and cooperation, as well as athletic ability. C. C.

Her mother lends a helping hand and arranges a date for her with Freddy Shermer, the only boy in school who wears knickers, but Hildegarde refuses to go. In desperation, Freddy steals some long pants from Bob, Hildegardeis brother, and Hilde- garde takes a beauty treatment to lure the boys. Hildegarde's father iwho the people believe is a drunkard after statements Hildegarde made in a school debate ibrings his bOSs home to show him that the Dolsons are a perfectly sane, healthy, normal family. This is difficult to prove, however, with Hildegarde's face covered with mud, worms all over the yard due to Jimmyis electric wormer, and Bob's trying vainly to recover his pants. To make matters worse, Freddy burglarizes his own house and trades the watch which was to be his graduation present for a new suit with long pants. Hildegarde is believed to be the thief. Soon after this hilarious state of confusion, the family returns to normal conditions. Bob re- covers his pants and Hildegarde goes to the prom with Freddy, proud of her date.

Members of the class have earned letters in foot- ball, basketball, and track. The claSS was also represented in the choir, glee clubs, and band. The 'cast and chorus in the Operetta contained several juniors. The Honor Roll and Honorable Mention lists were heavily sprinkled with junior names. The Junior-Senior- Banquet, presented by our class, the first to take place in the new auditorium, was declared highly successful and set a high Page 40 standard for following Junior Classes to fulfill. At the class elections, held early in the year, the following officers were chosen: Glenn Nelson, president; Ned Hedges, vice-president; Sarah Anderson, secretary and Don Sampson, treasurer; Mr. Franklin and Mrs. Solt, sponsors. As the year draws to a close we look back with pride, and ahead with determination to make our senior year our best year; a fitting climax to the best years of our lives. hthhhhbibbbhmhh Km 1. iufqglukvig FLLLLJJJJJJJJ v.1 .a QC D.n .m0 ,t 3a r O n .0 V..l. mm DL 9.

C. H. S..this year. This startling change is a result of the addition of a new class to the curriculum of C. C. H. S. A girls' physical education class under Miss Donna Neals was instituted this year. The enrollment in this activity will increase in future years due to the fact it will be a required subject for the girls. Calisthentics, volley ball, soccer, basketball, badminton, and dancing are the chief sports carried on by this activity. Basketball teams have also been started among the girls. Miss Neal is the instructor, and she often participates in the activities of her classes. The introduction of physical education classes is a great improvement to our school, and it is planned to enlarge greatly this program in future years. Page 42 !

During the first semester the Hi-Y was presided over by Glenn Marsh with Wayne Hedges as vice-president; Harry Stuart, sec- retary; and Gilbert Rose, treasurer. The new officers elected to serve for the second semes- ter were Don Chandler, president; Kenneth Bomberger, vice-president; and Donn Cline, treasurer. Mr. Watson is our sponsor. We have a membership of about 45. Some of the outstanding events of the Hi-Y calendar this year were the Hi-Y party at Riverside, 3. caroling party to which we in- vited the Y-Teens, and the Hi-Y Father-Son Banquet which about 130 fathers and sons attended. The Hi-Y also equipped a game room in the basement of the high school building. y 4 ,an: . a E Q g t: me? '49 HI-Y OFFICERS HACK IHHV: Glenn Marsh, Kenny Bomberger. Donn Cline.

'49 Y-TEENS Eight girls attended the fall conference at York, Nebraska, this fall. As our candidate for district officer we sent Lois Haddix, who was elected secre- tary for the district conference to be held next fall. Some of the outstanding activities were entertain- ing the Hi-Y boys at a. scavenger hunt on Halloween, selling Christmas cards to enable us to join the 125 Club, Heart Sister Week, and a beautiful Mother- Daughter Banquet. To close the successful year the senior members were honored at a Senior Tea. BACK now: Rose Ann Shelton.

The members are chosen by the faculty from the Junior and Senior Classes. Not more than twelve percent of the Junior Class and fifteen percent of the Senior Class are chosen. The symbols of the National Honor Society are Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. These are the standards by which the members are chosen. One of the activities of the National Honor Society was selling food at three of our home basketball games. The completion of our audi- torium gave us access to facilities with which we could easily prepare and sell food. This was a successful venture and with the profit we sponsored our annual scholastic banquet on February six- teenth. This banquet was given in honor of the students who were on the semester honor roll and the honorable mention. The formal banquet was served in the dining room of the Home Economics Department with the theme The Open Gate!' The National Honor Society also sponsored an all-school dance on January twenty-second. During the second semester we sponsored an honor study hall, in which the students took roll and had complete charge of the hour.

FRONT IHHV: Gene Lewis, Glenn Marsh, Dale Chesley, Lowell Galusha, Darrell Montgomery, Edwin Umphreys. Green ant! WAife leaced On Bison traekmen enjoyed a successful 1948 track season even though they didn,t have the depth to cop any large meet. In the first meet of the season, the Bison doubled the score of York in a dual meet at Neraska Central College. The day was too windy for any outstanding performances; however, the team did well in all events. The York College Relays was next with New- meyer getting a tie for second in the pole vault and Engel a fourth in the high hurdles. Our mile sprint medley team, composed of Dale Chesley, Frank Madison, Lowell Galusha, and Bruce Engel copped a third place, trailing only Crete and Grand Island. The two mile relay quartette composed of Galusha, Marsh, Montgomery and Bill Chesley, was narrowly edged out in their race in the final time comparisons. In ,all, the green bagged 4V2 points, good for eighth place in the meet. By besting Aurora, Fullerton, and Ravenna, the Bison easily copped the Nebraska Central Invita- tional. New records were set by the green and white in the 440 by Bill Chesley, in both hurdles by Bruce Engel, and by the 880 relay team. Seward bagged 92 U3 points to Centralls 86 U3 in the Central Five meet at David City. First place, for the Bison were captured by Dale Chesley in the 220, Bruce Engel in the high and low hurdles, Newmeyer in the pole vault, and by the 880 relay team. For the district meet the team went to Kearney. Lexington scored 78 points to Central City's 57 to take the meet. Bison trackmen qualify- ing for the state meet were: Edwin Umphreys, Bruce Engel, Kent Newmeyer, George Scholl, Bill Chesley, ,and Darrell Montgomery. Umphreys got a second place in both the 100 and 200; Engel won the high hurdles and broad jump; Newmeyer got first in the pole vault; Scholl got a third in the discus; Chesley was runner-up in the 440, and Montgomery did likewise in the mile. ' At the state meet in Lincoln, the Bison could only manage a third in the high hurdles by Engel and a fifth in the hundred by Umphreys, but all the boys came close to placing. Scholl was in the first ten in the discus, New- meyer was sixth in the vault, Chesley was sixth in the 440 and Montgomery was fourth in his heat of the mile but failed to place in final time com- parisons. Lettermen last year were: Dale Chesley, sprints; Bill Chesley, 440 and 880; Hamilton, sprints and high jump; Newmeyer, pole vault; Scholl, weights; Galusha, mile and 880; Engel, hurdles and broad jump; Chandler, shot put; Umphreys, sprints; Montgomery, mile; Rosenquist, hurdles; Elgin Nelson, 440; Marsh, 880; Malmt, high jump; and Lewist, sprints. xkDenotes lettered in freshman meet.

They were feverishly working on the Junior-Senior Banquet of 1948. In Kenny Bombergefs garage, under the su- pervision of Mr. VVilber Williamson, the cobblers were forming the shoe. This gigantic shoe was to be the centerpiece of our overwhelming production. Meanwhile, at school, the remaining talent of our class was painting Mother Goose characters for the wall and stage. The finishing touches were at last completed and our theme, Mother Goose on Parade, was elaborately displayed. At six-thirty on May thirteenth, the gathering w w; m e, , hf K, M- MW m crowd, consisting of girls in multi-Colored formals and boys in natty attire, was ushered through a brick archway into the fantastic land of Mother Goose. A scene depicting the Old Woman in the Shoe and her children formed the attractive center- piece. Illustrations of various other nursery rhymes .adomed the stage and walls. The theme was fur- ther carried out by the table decorations and the costumes of the waiters and waitresses who Were chosen from the Sophomore Class. The menu served had been tastily prepared by the mothers of the juniors. After the interesting program at the audi- torium, an evening of dancing climaxed the banquet ceremomes. a :1 a We fnayw am . mSthS?

Dr. George Rosenlof was the principal speaker. He is a noted educator and is Registrar at the University of Nebraska. Dr. Rosenlof set forth four high goals for the students and community. They were: 1. To promote the physical and mental de- velopment of the students. 2. To insure cultural development in the com- munity. 3. To develop national stability through the training of students, 4. To increase friendly international relation- ships by the development of the minds and bodies of students. The remainder of the program consisted of the introduction of teachers by Walter R. Raecke, a vocal solo by Miss Hazel Arpke, and choral selec- tions by the Nebraska Central College Choir and the Central City High School Choir. President 0. W. Carrell was master of ceremonies. After the program the public was invited to inspect the various rooms of the new auditorium. .9 f2 17:; +ny n m ii L F E l DLJI-J prolaAecy 30F ,69 Oh, come with me and we shall see what has happened to the members of the class of '49, in the present year of nineteen hundred and sixty- nine. Twenty years ago when these brilliant young people walked from the worn doors and halls of old C. C. H. 5., little did they know what their destiny would be. But time always tells; come, and We shall see what time has told. As we sit by our television set, we bring into view the gay city of Paris, where we find Lewellen Johnson pursuing his life ambition of being a radio television operator. He brings into focus for us Barbara Jacobson and Rogene Shull, who are now prominent members of the notorious French chorus line. We turn from this pleasant view to the deep, dark heart of Africa where we find Darrell Montgomery coaching the dense population of monkeys in the finer points of football, while his roommates, Harvey Cordsen and Charles Dunovan, are found chasing butterflies instead of the usual dangerous women. With a twist of the wrist, this time to Russia and Moscow, where we find the fast-talking diplomat, XVayne Hedges, and his wife, the former Faye Haddix, in a heated argument with Comrade Melvin Swanson about the Siberian heat wave. Next, we find Twila Larson in Africa tending her little camel herd, while Pat McIlnay, the boss of a welI-drilling crew in the Sahara Desert, helps her find water for her little herd. Remaining in Africa, we turn to the pleasant view of Norman Rasmussen and his red-headed harem. Whom do we see in India but Donovan Sheik Crandell. He is charm- ing snakesmand womenewith his red hot trumpet. From this charming view, we go to Egypt where Mary Garrett is found hunting rare specimensee such as men. From here we buzz merrily on to China. On our way, whom do we see but Dale Chesley, the head of a truck line company from Bagdad to Cairo. Arriving in China, we find the big, strong Donald Anderson and Donald Barnes pulling a ricksha for the visiting missionary, Verna Kuhn. Turning the dial slowly, we discover the secret laboratory of Frances Grella in the wilds of Australia, where she is performing earth-shaking experiments. We bring into focus that tall, dark, good-Iookingeyou guessed ite-Duane Henk, taking life easy in a kangaroo pouch. But we must move on to the U. S. A. and home! Whom do we see hereewhy, itis Glenn Marsh, a deep-she diver, searching for UPearl on the bottom of the sea. Home again, with our television set still hot, we tune in to Washington and politics. In his office, the future Presuhnt, Donald Nouzovsky, and Vice- President, Dale King, are discussing their plat- forms-no working hours. Outside of their office, Donna Belle Johnson, wife of Donald, is campaign- ing for her hubby. Look out, New York! Here we come. Whats this on the 99th floor of the Empire State Building? Why, it's Oren Rawlings and John Jefferson industriously at work laying bricks. In another ten or twenty years they may be done- if the altitude doesnit get them down. Turning the dial more rapidly, we come upon a most interesting scene. It's the famed Madison Square Garden, and it looks like we're just in time for the main bout of the evening. The crowd is going wild as down the aisle into the ring come the challenger, Betty Meyer and her opponent, Crystal Munn. This match will determine the Lady Wrestling Champion of the world. While munching peanuts and looking around, we rest our gaze on a certain lady of the press. It's none other than Le Anne Iwan covering an assignment for the New York Times. The next stop is the Waldorf Astoria, where we meet our old friend and schoolmate, Deloris May. Deloris is now head waitress at the Astoria. In case you boys have been wondering whose brain-storm the new perfume Follow Me is, we can give you the in- side dope. It seems Betty Baird and Doria Kyes had nothing better to do one night, so they mixed up a squirt of uMy Secret Passion and tiHeav'en Scent and the result was Follow Me. The scent from this factory leads us to Niagara Falls and women, for today there is a featured attraction. Lowell GaIuLha is bravely going over the falls in one of his old barrels. We hope he makes it! Out in the country near Oskosh, Wisconsin, we find Dorothy and Doris Mesner busily engaged in teach- ing an F. F. A. class. They use the co-operative system. Dorothy teaches the class, while Doris maintains order with the liberal use of an old plow. Going into town, we bring into focus Todd Tegler, the ufriendly undertaker, talking to Wayne Larson, a successful car dealer, who is stilr trying to prove that Ford's not out front. Now, let's return to Central City, our old home town. Pausing before a little white house with the traditional little white picket fence and green shutters, we take in a homey little scene. Mr. Kenneth Bomberger has just re- turned from his place of work tthe Omaha Cold Storagei and is about to sit dOWn to lunch with his wife, the former Marilyn Rankin, and all the little chicks. Taking a quick peek at old C. C. H. S., we notice many changes. In place of the statue of 'iAbe is Kris Nelson. It seems Kris was a chem- istry teacher at Central. One day, he was mixing up a little of this and a little of that, and ac- cidentally got too much of that and Earn! ! All that remains of Kris is a grease spot on the ceil- ing and a statue in the hall. Doris Christensen has graduated from Mr. Franklin's office to Pat Farrell's, the superintendent of schools. Vivian Stuart has taken over Miss Neal's physical educa- tion classes. They are taking up the finer points of boxing now. Leaving Central again, we take a peek at the surrounding towns. Don Chandler and Mrs. Chandler, the former MiSS Weller, are residing at Archer where Don is postmaster. Outside of Centralis city limits, on a small farm, we find Donna Rusterholz slopping the pigs. On farms close to Marquette and Alda, we find Marilyn Lindgren and Marlene Garrett happily married. Continuing on to Grand Island, Tom Punchy Nine comes onto the screen. Tom, now a professional fighter, resides in Grand Island with Mrs. Nine and the nine little Nines. Californa, here we come! In the forthcom- ing Columbia production Blue Waters, Anita Williams, the new swimming champion, takes over for Esther iWilliams, who has just retired. Deloris Mason is still carrying on her old profession of baking rolls, on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. On a Montana cattle ranch we find Cleo Strasburg with her husband, an ex-soldier. We have toured the world, and now to the skies above. In case you girls are wondering who that man in the moon who is always winking at you is, it's your old pal, Ray Nixon. While we're up here we'll journey over to Mars where we find Nadine Butt and Bette 'Hartford teaching the Martians a down-to-earth policy. And you say, who are we? ? ? ? Why, we're Loris Plith, Iva Wright, and Don Holmstedt sitting by our little television set in our padded cell at Ingleside. Our keepers, Miss Neal and Mr. Miller, are rapidly approaching because our cellmate, Jim Justice twho was Editor of the '49 annual and has never been the same sincel is suffering a relapse.
