THE KEY NOTES By Bennie Benson ThESE GENTLEMEN, members of the Board of Education, represent the best of Aberdeen's successful business men. They meet, when occasion warrants, to discuss matters pretaining to education in the city schools. Meetings are usually held in the superintendent's office. A recent triumph of the board of education is the new school-civic auditorium pictured on page eight of this book. It is one more step in the achievement of a more perfect educational system for Aberdeen. 0. M. Tiffany, olthe Tiffany Laundry, is the able president of the organization. He has held this position for several years. I)r. J. 0. Kraushaar consults patients in his office in the First National Bank Building and finds time to voice his opinion at all the board meetings. Dr. J. I). Alway is the friendly person who attends all the school activities he can when not called away by business. C. H. Anderson is a new member on the school board. His place of business is the Aberdeen Supply Company. E. L. Feddern, of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railway, is also a new member on the board. Frank Wyttenback is the clerk of the Aberdeen City Schools. He is usually down to his shirt sleeves and a two inch cigar by the time the meetings adjourn. 12 AT WORK—-AT PLAY (1) Clara Flemington is patiently pointing out that proteins are necessary to a rounded diet. (2) Well.” scowls Merten Hasse, “what are you up to now?” (3) Ben Miller looks as if he was evening the score with another Mechanical Drawing student who likes to play around. (4) Despite the trials and tribulations of Courtesy League and Student Court. Carl Gruhn is “happy about the whole thing.” (5) Does the next page say, “Gargle three times daily,” Adeline Klein? (6) The candid camera caught Rosa Lambert lecturing on the process of etching as applied to craft jewelry. (7) Beryl DeHaven was the picture of industry— all for the benefit of the camera man as the clock struck four. (H) We can say it in French hut it will sound more sincere if we say in English “We’re glad you’re the Girls' Counselor. Charlotte Mason”. (9) Ray Antil may be a demon on the gridiron but Cy Ho I gate had him in shirt sleeves in five minutes of strip poker. (10) Our camera man, Bert Popowski, got caught in a trap of his own setting. (11) Have you run out of material on Hitler, Cecil Monroe; or is this recreational reading? (12) Seated in the sanctum sanctorum just off the library, Alma Thomas posed for this candid shot. (13) Ah ha! Charley W inner; we gotcha where we want-cha now! (14) Is it day-dreaming, Delores W ood: or can it he ... Arrow worries? 13 TEACHER PEOPLE By F. L. Rathman Everything, we arc told, is either mineral, vegetable, or animal. There are, furthermore, eight kinds of animals; but it is generally agreed that they may he more simply grouped into these railed lower and higher, the human being acknowledglv the most advanced and therefore highest. Human beings, in turn, are classified as to various races. Further than that and excepting differences in appearance, character. and personalty, all human beings belong in the same category. They are commonly called PEOPLE. W hat, then, are teachers? Since they are neither mineral nor vegetable, they must be termed animals. Because they have the power of reason, they may be placed in the higher group—that of people. Indeed they are, in the last analysis, human beings—even as you. their students. Teachers, then, are not a class set apart. The very nature of their position in life requires that as a result of their training, they are (or should be) educated authoritatively in their various lines. Often they insist that they know all. that they are never wrong. What of that? Someone has pointed out. “Some folks (other than teachers, toot would rather blow their horns than listen to Sousa's band.” What if teachers are mistaken in their self-esteem? After all, all people make mistake's— that's why erasers are put on Lad pencils. It was Theodore Roosevelt who said. “The man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.” Seriously, if you and your teachers have ever seemed to disagree, could it be partly due to your agreement with the schoolboy's definition of a hypocrite as a “kid what comes to school w id a smile on his face ? It was Ruskin who said, “In all things throughout the world, the man who looks for the crooked will see the crooked, and the man who looks for the straight will see the straight.” And so it is in school as in all of life. Your teachers are, of necessity, your leaders. Rut they are also your fellow human beings, your friends. What though you disagree? It would he monstrous if all thought alike. Yet. as one teacher expressed it, “How often we set others down as peculiar simply because their ideas do not agree with ours . History reveals that it has always been that way. It was an old Quaker who remarked to his wife, “All the world is queer, except thee and me. and even thee is a little queer. Have you ever stopped to realize that you may be as hard to understand—yes. and to like—to your teacher as he is to you? Charles Dickens once remarked, “Try to do to others as you would have them do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. Above all, try to remember that like George Washington, who never told a lie; like Abraham Lincoln, who was constantly a simple, straight-forward, and sincere friend to the common people; like Socrates, who completely lived up to his convictions; like anyone who has ever gained any place of rank: like your friends, whom you admire: like your enemies whom you dislike; like you, who may be guilty of thinking otherwise, teachers are people. They like; they dislike; they triumph; they fail; they think; they feel; they are glad; they are sad: and they want more than anything else to be treated like human beings! As your friends, then, your teachers are w ishing you well.

At a irathrrinK of the Student Council, Bernice Pfeiffer and Virginia McClain exhibit Kagleian Follies postern made a n part of the council’ activities. THE LEADER OF THE BAND By W inton Solberg Although THE STUDENT COUNCIL cannot grant W. P. A. allotments, it does voice the opinion of the student body. And rightly too, for it has a large and representative membership. Each junior and senior home room delegates one member; the juniors have a member-at-large; the sophomores have six. Presidents of Keystone, senior class, junior class, and the monitor board attend all meetings. The president of the student council is aided by a vice president, secretary, and treasurer, in governing the activities over which they have control. Faculty adviser Charles W inner gives legal advice and his room to the meetings. Because the beginning of this school year was filled with so much activity concerning the new auditorium, the Council was delayed in its organization. However, it showed its worth when a successful pageant, based on Aberdeen's civic organizations, was paraded before the townspeople. The Eaglcian Follies was the first program presented by the student council in the new high sc hool assembly. Held late in February, it entertained a large audience which appreciated a program that added to “Follies history. In order to feel the public pulse, as it were, an assembly advertising.the Follies was presented by the Council. An entertaining court scene was shown with the defendant. Eagleian Follies, winning the verdict “Not Guilty of the many accusations brought by the prosecuting attorney. The Student Council was organized first in 1936 and has grown in size and student opinion until it has been marked as a decided step towards a freer, more understandable type of scholastic government, able to cope with the new equipment and a larger student body. W’inton Solberg was president of this year's Student Council. Dick W atson was vice-president, Marjorie Lewis, secretary, and Gaylen Ferguson, treasurer. Clerk Thiel look amu� ed.

TELL THE TRUTH, BROTHER By If' a Id on Thiel 8 IIIK SHAME-FACED DEFEiNDAN I' shuffles into the court room he is greeted with: “Step forward and raise your right hand , boomed out in a baritone voice of the presiding justice. After the defendent has been sworn in, he is tried by a procedure much like that which is used in our municipal and state courts today. Students are called before this court for any infraction of a set of rules enforced daily in the halls by Central’s policemen, the monitors, and deemed necessary by the administration. Every Tuesday and Thursday it is part of the routine of the court personnel to pull their tousled heads from beneath the sheets and at an unthinkable hour wend their weary way to court to mete out punishment to those luckless individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally violated the hall rules. The rat-a-tat-tat of the “Girl at the Typewriter comes from the desk of the court stenographer, whose duty it is to take down the testimony and facts of each case. Such records are kept on file for reference. Cases are tried before a jury of seven members comprised of students in the upper one-fourth of their class. The cases of both the defendant and the plaintiff are heard. Student lawyers are instrumental in ascertaining that the jury is the possessor of all facts which have any bearing on the case. A sergeant-at-arms maintains order and demands that the “silence, which is golden”, prevail. I he function of the court is to maintain certain disciplinary measures which must continue if Central is to hold the national ranking that it now has among coeducational institutions throughout the nation.

SWALLOW YOUR GUM By Bennie Benson The GROUP OF CAPABLE LOOKING PEOPLE pictured above are by no means the “meanies” of Central. Their aim in life from sunrise (or rather early in the morning) until four-thirty P. M. every school day is to keep “we, the people” as quiet and as orderly as possible. They work on the modern “credit” basis: two points per semester, or thereabout. As yet, Central's monitor board has not developed a secret code or sign language, but it takes less than a minute to scrawl a violation ticket that will invariably land you in the student court. In the court of justice the cop confirms his slip and listens to the proceedings with the arm of the rules on bis side. These picturesque denizens of the halls airily command you (with numb hands) to remove your overshoes immediately upon entering the building. They ask you to stand outside in the sunshine and absorb vitamin I) until the first bell. They do not hold with the advert izers of Wriglcy’s products. They whip out their pads upon detecting the slightest straining of the vocal chords. W histling is out. It is their contention that walking is more dignified than running. They are definitely patrollers in every sense of the word. Seriously, though, a reasonably quiet, clean, and orderly pedagogical institution makes for better scholarship, and, after all, part of our education is knowing how to behave. Carl Gruhn, founder of the organization in Central, lends his help and suggestions when they are needed or requested. Chief Monitor Bobbin Stevens was assisted by Jeanne Murphy and a force of 20 monitors. 23 OPUS 1937-1939 By Donna Daulton Shyly WE MARCHED through the halls that day in September, 1936. Our downcast eyes appraised this monstrous building. We supposed we’d learn to love the thing. They all seemed to. Still we weren't sure. Soon various activities claimed our attention. We tried out for music. Many of us got into Glee Club, a few into A Cappella. Band and orchestra interested many of our class. Several joined. We soon began to hear great things of Betty Gerritson. Football came next. Our sophomore squad had a lot of pep. e were proud of it. Suddenly speech work rose into prominence. Annrita Dresselhuys won first in extemporaneous -speaking. Other fine speakers that year were Alvine La inc, Richard I)c Vcy, Betty Jeanne Butler. Doris Gorder. Several sophomores went out for declamation. Among them were Luanne Wells and Jane Knight. 1 he next strain was Word Craft, which featured solos from Rosemary Braunstein. Mavis Ryman. and Clementine Schwan. That winter Philip Belanger and Wayne Marsh played in the Centralians, Central's first dance band. Spring came. We found that we had gotten in the groove and were really fond of this institution. Mary I rish and Dick Noll, with the skill of maestroes, led us at the Court of Awards. Why, almost before we knew it. we had reached the first repeat sign. W e looked the whole school in the face. We were no longer “ickeys”, but we were full fledged juniors! We elected Billy Beers “maestro” of the class. Harlan Davis and Turell Van Petten “wowed the assemblies with their “Just A Habit They Have skits. Dick Haddow began swinging yells in pep assembly. We had a championship team in football. Tommy Donlan, Spence .err. Pete Becker, Russ Smith, Robert McKray, Robbin Stevens, Francis Gleick, and Paul Geno, were heard from on that team. The Blue and Gold, edited by Betty Jane Kettering. Donna Daulton, and Glenn Kelley, hit the top note of the scale when it won high honors. We were well represented on the championship basketball team by Dean Driscoll, Spence Zerr, and Russ Smith. In February, several deserving juniors were initiated into Keystone. The Courtesy League “kept with the tempo” with Marjorie Daniels as “director”. The band and orchestra won high ratings at the state contest at Yankton. That spring Central's composers wrote for and won the annual song and yell contest with that song hit. “We're From Central . Suddenly we had reached the second repeat sign, and were seniors! W e were soloists of the school! We held our heads up. The upperclassmen looked up to us. We found a re-organized “concert shell in which we were to play our last year of concerts”. We had a beautiful new library—and an immense auditorium with a new music room annex for all Central’s music bodies. We elected Gaylen Ferguson “concert master” of the class. Brunette Marjorie Daniels reigned over the annual Pageant Day with the Chief Marshall. W in ton Solberg. Central played host to over two hundred musicians during the three day band clinic. loo quickly an inspiring finale to a successful football season was over. We really swung into a fast allegro in speech work. In both declamation, and debate, our class literally “blasted out”. More seniors finally hit high “A” and the Keystone society. The class, unusually musically inclined, struck a major chord with soloists in band, orchestra, and A Cappella. The basketball squad paced by seniors did not “drop the basket , but dropped them into the basket to conclude a successful season. Soon the gym resounded with rhythm as Central’s juniors and seniors practiced for the grand march on Prom Night. The juniors were our hosts. The Arrow became Central's latest “popular hit”. We now began to realize that we would have to place all “music scores and books” aside and depart from Central. We knew we would leave it with the satisfaction of having played our three year concert well. We knew we had accomplished something. Our crescendos, diminuendos, allegrcttoes will all be long remembered in Central! The record of the 1939 class is one to be envied. 24 REPRESENTATIVE BOYS Glenn Kelley: “In high school we are confronted with many problems that occur repeatedly in life. It is here that we must learn to cope with these problems. As we have progressed through our three years here, we have become aware that the establishment of friendships is as vital as high standing in academic subjects. No matter what occupation or profession we decide to enter in our community, friendship and amiability will be a definite asset to us. These better friendships and acquaintances that will continue in civil life have been made in our days spent in the corridors and rooms of Central. Glenn Kelley. Gnylen Ferguson, and Robert Gerber were, in the opinion of llieir classmates, the three most all-around boy in Central's graduating class. Gavl en Ecr uson: A complete school life is composed of three important points that stand like the three legs of a tripod. Scholarship, social, and extra-curricular activities are the three points. To make the school life a success all three must be present. The preparation you make for your future comes under the first point. The friends you make come under the second. These are indispensibic to your happiness. To complete the tripod of your school life the part you play in the activities of the school is important. Have a well balanced tripod ami you II have a successful school life.” Robert Gerl) er: “The education of the individual, declare the sociologists, instigates social reform and reconstruction. Since education and training will change the habits of the individual and therefore his character, we must endeavor to substitute life's ideals for the many systems of gaining material success which predominate in determining the ambitions of youth. I believe that this moral duty of education is being fulfilled by modern school systems which emphasize the value of sportsmanship, fair play, and true friendship in all social contacts. Realizing the necessity of a universal sense of social justice, I salute the organs of Central High which support the philosophy of life's ideals.” 25 Mariarrl Archer. Betty Crumpton, and Anne Marie Johannen received the most votes from their classmates when all-around, representative girls were chosen. Hetty Crampton: Life in Central has been a wonderful and unforgetable experience to me. Starting as if on an unplanned journey on the tumultuous sea of life; going through the uncertainty of courses and unchartcred difficulties; and finally smoothing out into a voyage of joy and achievement, I feel as though Central High has aided me in achieving a certain assurance that will guide me in future voyages. I wish to express appreciation toward teachers and friends, my captain and crew, who have so kindly and willingly given me their cooperation. ENTATIVE GIRLS Margaret Archer: ”1 wonder if there will ever he Again in life a time so free. So full of opportunity, So rich in friendships dear to me, With students and the faculty, As high school years have been to nie. All our good times, these short years three ill soon he just a memory.” Anne Marie Johansen: “There was a time when a high school diploma signified that the formal education of a hoy or girl was complete. In this day and age with numerous opportunities for adult education, it is no uncommon thing for mothers and fathers to be graduated from college with sons and daughters. We are beginning to realize more and more that education is an unceasing process, and that the quest for knowledge and truth may he carried on long after high school and college days.” SENIOR CLASS Cecil Monroe Margaret Archer THOSE WHO LEAD By Glenn Kelley At THE SECOND SEMESTER ELECTIONS the above officers were chosen to head the senior class through the final semester. Glenn Kelley, prominent senior boy, was chosen president, Frank Zcrr, one of Central's outstanding athletes in all three sports, was elected vice-1 president. Ingeborg Stovern, popular leader among the girls, became secretary. Margaret Archer, a girl outstanding in many school and class activities, was appointed by the seniors to be treasurer. In a unanimous ballot, Dean Driscoll, versatile basketball center, was placedi on the student council as member-at-large for the senior class. It is the business of these class officers to see that close harmony is kept within the class itself. There can be no discords or the graduation ceremony will be ruined. These officers acting as heads of their) various committees must see that their “Swan Song” is complete and in perfect intonation. Cecil Monroe as class adviser was the efficient and ever helpful baton wielder. 27 Firs!

OUR SWAN SONG By Marjorie Daniels llELLO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. We arc located in the new Central high school auditorium on an early June morning just before that memorable occasion, the graduation ceremony. Before the final, supreme concert begins, let us look at the students who have been rehearsing for three long years. In looking over the first row we can observe Pete Becker. Pete was small,, hut tough. Opponents in football and baseball will always remember him as such. Further on we sec Bob Omland. another senior who has distinguished himself athletically. There is our good friend Bob McKray, who has been a mainstay of all three of Central's varsity teams, football, basketball, and track. Along with Bob, Tommy Donlan and Spence Zerr made All-State in football. At this last concert we notice other versatile athletes such as Don Porter, Elmo Jcrde, and Bobbin Stevens. With them are also basketball stars: Dean Driscoll and Buss Smith. Winton Solberg. Behind the athletes, I happen to see several of Central’s outstanding musicians. Heading the list are Betty Gcrritsen, versatile clarinetist, Bichard Jensen, almost her equal, and Eugene Brussell. the orchestra concert master. Other outstanding senior instrumental musicians are Clyde Morehouse, Bobert Jensen, Ar-vella Anderson. Howard Sime, Arthur Rogers, Dick Haddow, Bobert Birkland, Maurine Dell, Elaine Wolters, and Bill Hagerty. Over to the right of us stand a group of individuals who look as if they might be forensic leaders. There is Betty Jeanne Butler, Donna Daulton, Dick DeVey, Annrita Dresselhuys, and Bob Smith, but we had better scram before they “blow” us off the page. The final ceremony is nearly ready to begin. By all of the accomplished participants, I feel certain that it will be successful. It is true, the Senior class of 1939 has been truly a representative one. Looking; aa if they truly merited the honor thev have ju « received, the twelve new Keystone member, hold their candlex hiirh. CENTRAL’S SYMPHONIC BAND By Clemen line Sell nan The (-1 RIAIN IS A HO l I 10 RISK. The assembly is tense, for the students most renowned for their close harmony with the others at Central are going to he recognized. I he impressive Keystone initiation assembly is about to begin. The curtains are slowly parted revealing the Spirit of Keystone holding the flaming torch which beckons and guides those who are most worthy. Around her are the four notes which compose the chord of close school harmony: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. I hey are the qualifications for membership in Keystone. The Spirit of Keystone now tells how each note of the chord is important: and emphasizes the fact that too much overshadowing of one note will disrupt the entire desired effect. Principal R. R. Deimer now comes forward and presents the names of those, who in judgement of the faculty, harmonize the best with the school system. A I age is given a name and he slowly walks out into the audience to escort the chosen candidate to the stage. Ohs and alls and storms of applause greet the honored. Wlun all are on the stage, the candle of each new member is lighted and the Keystone pledge is repeated by each neophyte after the Spirit. Then the curtains are drawn, and another Keystone initiation is over. To those students who have not lacked in any of the four requisites a great honor has come. The school’s most symphonic feature has ended, and the audience with its hushed silence pays homage to Central's outstanding players, who merit the honor. Officers of the Keystone society arc: president, Clementine Schwan; vice-president, Betty Crampton; secretary, Maurine Dell; treasurer, Marjorie Daniels. 30 Th cut of Seven S! t r� ” took time out from a rehearsal to po c informally. THE SENIOR'S SEVEN SISTERS By Bennie Benson I TRIGl INC NAMES, bright Hungarian costumes, and love at first sight were made into a romantic farce by F.dith Ellis. Mrs. Gyurkovics, the widow of an army officer, was played by Katherine Priest. She was faced with the dilemma of finding husbands for each of her seven daughters. She was bound by an old Hungarian custom to marry them off in order of their ages. Mit .i, the fourth daughter I played by Doris Gorderl was expelled from the nunnery because she was caught coming in from a forbidden masked ball. The Widow Gyurkovics, with militry discipline, deducted several years from her age as punishment. Ferenz Horkoy, Mitzi’s escort to the fateful dance, was played by Harlan I)a is. They planned to find spouses for the three other eligible sisters: Katinka, Sari, and Ella, played by Betty Jane Kettering, Elaine Muleahey, and Donna Daulton. Gida Radviany (Robert Smith), a rich stupid boy, and nephew of Colonel Radviany. played by Waldon Thiel, becomes heart broken when his uncle visited the Gyurkovics and consequently fell in love with Katinka. A lisping cousin to the seven sisters. Toni Teleke. as lisped by Warren Thomas, was frightened away by Mitzi and Horkoy. The latter was parading the household as the cousin Toni. Michael Sandorffy, a young militia-man, (Robert Gerber) married Sari. Ella was sympathetic with Gida concerning his lost love, and thus gained his name. Horkoy and Mitzi were married finally. The plot was complicated by three smaller sisters who were played by Jeanette Higgins as Terka; Shirley Chambers as Liza; and Clementine Schwan as Clara. letters and packages were delivered by Janko, (Alvin LaVine) the servant of the Gyurkovics.

And just to prove it, take a look at our diary. September Time again for school. The question of the moment was—whose home room will we be in? Soon we were arranged alphabetically, indexed, and really juniors at last. Then a session was called for all juniors of Central high school. We need a man to run things for us. Stanley Schmidt survived the finals. Jane Dal-thorp was elected vice-president. I'rank Moffcnbier came truckin’ is as secretary followed by Dick Watson as treasurer and Don Hansen as student council representative. Frank Moffenbier cam? truckin' in as our secretary followed by Dick Watson as treasurer and Don Hansen as student council representative. October—Football season starts this month. The first week of October found us taking part in the Pageant Day festival, and also the parade. The junior football team ended its session with one win. one tie, and three losses. They say “music has charm”. If that's true, then the juniors must have charm because as it became apparent this month the juniors represent close to 50 per cent of the musical organizations at Central including several top soloists. November—The whole school seemed to be quite excited this month for our new auditorium opened. A special week, the 6th to the 13th, was set aside for the dedicating of this new building. The latter part of November we were seen tripping along the new passageway connecting Central and Washington. Then came vacation time and the week was celebrated in the method common to us juniors. December—The main “alligators got together, stirred up the hot coals, and the “allegro” junior fun fest burst forth in what proved to be one of the top events of the year. The fest-planners anticipated a large turn out (and there was) because of the many different activities substituted this year for what in previous years had been mainly dancing. Several talented juniors will take part in the junior play as the result of tryouts. “Yea, team rang from our lusty throats as we rooted for our men: Haugc, Hopp, Moffcnbcier, and Schmidt, all Golden Kagles on the '39 squad. Word Craft, with our class contributing, was given out. Then snow and the Merry Yuletide was upon us and we enjoyed another vacation. January—Brrrr, it's cold. All pepped up after a vacation we came back to “Ye Olde Institute” and settled down to study, or something. The semester ended and some of our subjects were changed. The junior play was given in the new theater. Dclmorc Fessenden made a good “Poor Nut , and can we ever forget Jerry Tiffany as the vociferous Doc ? February—We find we have grown too old to exchange valentines, but then we still have romance. March—This month we saw the marvelous showing of amateur talent in the Kagleian Follies. The junior basketball season ended with our boys showing a goocf record. Don't you think they look handsome in their picture? April—“Sprig has cub . The month of the Junior-Senior Prom! In all the excitement and flurry that go along with this social event, all the weeks spent in anxiously awating the vital quesion, “What are you doing the night of the Prom?” arc forgotten. May—The track season ended, not to the pace of a jitter-bug’s trot, but to the cheers of the student body, elated over consecutive victories. June—Another year has rolled around and upon receiving our report cards, we see vacation days ahead. Yup, it’ll take just three months of summer growth to make us seniors, the class of 10. A trackxtcr. the Professor. Hub. the Ohio beauty, another trackster. and the coach are getting made up for the big event—their debut, in The Poor Nut . JUNIOR PLAYERS By John Lindboe When a CENTRALIAN becomes a jitterbug, he is placed in the ranks of the band. When a loyal rooter becomes voilent, he is made a member of the IVp club. When an up and coming actor seeks expression, he is put in the junior plays. The play of this season was entitled “The Poor Nut , and. as the name implies, has its setting in one of our educational institutions. Picture a college campus, having upon it a college library, having in it a college student. The college atmosphere, fraternity pins, sorority sisters, traek stars, college songs and yells, and a wildly exciting track meet made the junior play, directed by Miss Helen Courtney, a decided success.

By Marie Kamlaras JuST W HO ARE THE PEOPLE who constitute this wonderful junior class we've heard so much about? We could talk and write and talk for ages and never finish telling all about them. But we haven’t ages to do it in—just this small page—so we’ll be content with reviewing the most prominent ones by home rooms. Escorted by a bugler, we travel through our school. The first toot brings us to Miss Courtney's home room and as we glance in, way back in the corner, with pencil sharpener as an excuse for the conference, we see John Lindboe—Cicero, the orator, to you—and Bud Losacker, the black sheep, discussing the brain-testing question of prom dates. As we hear our bugler's warning toot, we must hurry on. Our next stop is M iss Mason's home room. Even before we enter the door we hear the ever present giggle of Marjorie Aggen as she ga es upon the Nagurski-like form of Jim Berbos. On we go to meet Davey! There, in the sea of faces which turn to greet us, we spot the handsome features of John I Robert Taylor) Breen. As we travel on we drop in on Mr. Gruhn and his most illustrious home roomers. There sits Geraldine (Jellybean) Goodsell, silently meditating on Bach, Beethoven ct cetera. To the insistent toot of the bugle and various noises emitting from the door, we drop in on Miss Freberg and her collection of late Yanktonites. Among them are LcMar Palmer (‘ there's something about a uniform”) and Jack Perkins, that rootin' tootin' cornet player. What’s wrong with Miss Wood’s home room? It sounds and looks like the music department of a lunatic asylum with Olga Larson contributing to the “around the desk chorus” with her lusty yodel and, almost being outdone by Frank Hoesing's booming bass. And just above, upstairs, in an atmosphere of art we find Mr. George Scofield (remember the track team) talking to Margaret “Peewee” Stroebel and brown-eyed Lorraine Stroll. Our next tooter takes us to the final junior home room where we gaze upon the rapt faces of Carol Templeton and Charlotte Westby. AROUNDjANI) ABOU1 By Grace McKeague (1) With the aid of the nightly four o’clock session of the Brothel Bachelors, unseen, the hot air is flying thick and fast, so Eugene Morton tries to cool it off with a hit of fresh air from the great outdoors of which he is so fond (during school hours, particularly). He is assisted by Harold Skihsrud and John l.indhoe and directed by Virginia Bersagel. (2t I he monitor, l.uman Rodman, seems to be tin cynosure of all eyes in this gathering of admiring females. But Kdwin Spencer takes it all in nonchalantly as he prepares to slide down the banister with George Neigel ready to follow suit. The smiling ladies are: Ruby Sanders, Beverly Weisbccker, Irene Holm. Florence W eismantel, Kose Zwcber, and Edna Kicnast. (31 Mr. Rathman's oratorical proxvess, which he displays every day in his American history classes, seems to affect his students differently. l.uman Rodman and Opal Palmer seem to prefer die scenery, while Dorothy Stondahl’s attentions arc divided. Those who happen to be appreciative today are: back row, Margaret Swanson. Edwin Spencer; second row; Delores Erickson. Wilma Carmine. Dorothy Calene, Helen Biegler; front row: Bertha Wilson, Carol Templeton, Ruth Rlcthen. (41 Bennie Benson (seniors look out of place in this section, don’t they?) takes advantage of that poor little junior Bill Mantel who has been chased up a tree by Butch McNeary. She seems to enjoy the situation immensely. I Note the rubber necks of tin unidentified junior and Wilma Carmine). (5 To give you a little change in the scenery, we present one of the more beauteous members of our class, Miss Dorothy Brownell, basking in the famous South Dakota sunshine. We wonder, is the water cold? WITH THE JUNIORS (6) Here we have a gentleman of the press, Noel Paulson, wishing to tell cm how. hut we fear that the audience is a little unappreciative.

Bud Losaeker seems to he the only one listening to the lecture, hut we can t really tell what that versatile editor, Don Thorson, is thinking, as all we can see is his nohle hrow. 1 1 I his. we assure you. is not a candid shot. These “studious” juniors gathered about the table are, from left to right: Virgil L or ken. Joe Lowenstein. Norma Locken, Llinor Lctherer, Marguerite Locking-ton. Don Carlson, and Ernie Mundhenke. Jack Hurst and Denny Ballou, finding their studies tedious, seek relief in some lighter literature. (8) What Bill Mantel and his unknown friend are up to is beyond us. but the rest of them are getting ready to go home. Frank Hoesing and his pal. Bob Barber, are discussing the hour for quartet practice. Clara Cline listens and laughs while Marian McKray (on the ladder), Patt Burke, and Shirley Janes get in a little of that after school gossip. Wayne Decker is wondering if he should—for a change—take a book home. (9) It's four o’clock and George Scofield, putting on his galoshes, says, “Let’s get out of here. Bob Liebenow with an atlas (believe it or not) is very much absorbed in Doris Lane, while Dale Fagg and Alice Koglmeier chat the time away. A shoestring seems to be bothering Clara Cline. (10) From tin: appearance of the flying snow flakes (that's what those white spots are, folkst, one would think that these happy-go-lucky juniors, such as Don Moore and James Murphy, could use a few more hats and coats. The girls, Farida Mae Gallagher, Doris Mil-hrandt. and Geraldine Jellybean Goodsell. are apparently trying to look sober for the camerman and laugh at the same time. (Get back indoors, kids, you'll catch your death.) 66 JUST RAMBLING ALONG By Grace McKeague A.S Jl IOR EDITOR it is expected of me to write at least one story for our yearbook. but at the present time I am at a loss of words, ideas, and, in fact, everything. So. if you don’t mind—I’ll just ramble along. Since music is the theme, did you know that one of the most popular juniors, Marie Kandaras. is in both orchestra and A Cappella? It lias always been said that each year the graduating class gets larger and better. If the commentators knew their “onions” they’d also say the same for the up and coming junior class, as year after year it becomes better and better. For proof, just take a look at those bright, intelligent faces with more than just space behind And now we hear from our junior poet, Dick Kinder: Ibis junior class in thirty-eight. I'he class of forty—to be, Has made a record that is great. I hey II make it better, wait and see! I he junior class this year seems to be quite varied. There are some Romeos—as for instance, Matt Baumann; some bachelors—note Rill Border; some genuises—take for example, journalistic Don Thorson and “gabby” Kathy Bassett; some “ all ’round good kids” such as Eugene Morton. Margaret Swanson, Chloe Campbell and well, just the whole junior class. One could ramble on forever, but everything must end, and as the old saying goes— ‘‘the shorter, the sweeter”—I draw these few tidbits from here and there to a close. INTRIGUING PASTIMES By Jean Irving I I UK GROOVE, J11 I KRBl G, ieky, corny, doin' the Lambeth walk seems to have been the rage this musical year; but not all the juniors are jitterbugs. Some have other hobbies. Don Houge, besides singing very, very well, plays the Merry Widow Waltz to the tune of a saw, a hammer, a few nails, airplane propellors and what-not. Chemical experiments, Roman swords, clay modeling and anything brainy is done by Burton Fields, Central’s “Einstein”. And we musn t forget Robert Kirk and his trusty sousaphone or our horn player (Jiff Guernsey. He’s not particular, any horn will do. Boys, here’s your chance for a nice, little housewife. An excellent cook, seamstress, and collector of recipes is Dorothy Glorvick. Some who just wouldn t admit what their hobbies were—probably something deep, dark, and mysterious—were lone Smith.

Ed Lyons gives Kay Palmer his complete attention. SOPH’S HISTORY IN B SHARP By Marjorie Lewis TllIS YEAR'S SOPHOMORES have shown their upper-classmen and teachers that they’re not to he slighted. I hey re giving the lofty juniors and seniors some stiff competition to worry about. For proof of this fact we turn to Helen King, who ran away with honors in declamation, winning superior in both district anti regional contests. We think that’s doing all right, don’t you? Sophomores have also contributed their share to the honor roll, with Marjorie Lewis, Shirley Johnson, and Sybil Premack typifying the brains of the class. Credit is also deserved by the many tenth graders who made the “B” honor roll. This year Mr. Rathman has need to be proud of a home room which claims all the sophomore class officers. Outside of his athletic ability, Leo Saylor has proved himself to be most capable for the office of president of the class. Further governing of the class is done by Marjorie Schmicrer, Jean Sundem and James Sieh holding the offices of vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. As usual, four members of the class are chosen to be members of the Word Craft Board, but this year it seems unusual that three out of the four chosen—James Kotsakos, Ralph Klopfenstein, and Jean Lowe were from Miss Flemington’s home room. 'File fourth member was Shirley Johnson. Fhe sophomore class is proud to claim three of the varsity football players. Leo Saylor, Owen Kervin and Eddie Carlson. Special attention should be given to Owen Kervin who also made the varsity basketball squad. As sophomore editor of the ARROW, Eleanore Keagy has done an excellent job. Although we have mentioned only the outstanding workers in the class, this year's sophomores as a whole are going places and if they keep up the good work, all we can say is that the senior class of 1941 will long be remembered. ANYWHERE AND EVERY- (ll It’s the end of the semester and book checking time in Miss Janette Greenshicld’s geometry class, as witnessed by our versatile camera man when lie snapped Ralph Klopfenstein, Kdward Lyons, Paul Cesander, Hill Dubes, and Klinor Beigler turning in their books. They are all hoping that they don't have to pay too much of a fine. After all, they haven't used them so very much. (21 Those days when we were, oh, so very, very young, sweet and bashful are ever so long past. The winsome maids pictured above arc Angela Noonan. Yerla Belle Stinson, Sybil Premack, Toody Murphy, and Virginia Daulton. Not that we are insinuating that they aren't still young, sweet, and bashful. (3) “A strong wind and pretty, little curls never mix”, might be what Norma Bart , Alta Olsen, Yvonne Ferguson, Marjory Schmierer. and Jeanne Lowe are saying in most exasperated tones as they are trying their very best—and that is very good—to get their curls in place. (4-) It looks to us as if Miss Helen Courtney’s English class had really got down and studied for this test. They seem to know just exactly what it is all about as they write on apparently undisturbed by such minor distractions as Arrow Board members in search of “picture copy . But, of course, as always, there are a few who persist in gazing at the photographer and his “little birdie”, despite the fact that this was supposed to be a true’4 candid .

(7) It is just a friendly game with a few pennies at stake, but “mighty oaks from acorns grow or something to that effect. The boys intent upon this stolen pleasure are Glenn Minds, Lyle Osterman. Lyle Goodrich, James Miller, and Jimmy Anderson. Apparently Glenn is being the lucky man in this game. (HI This group looks like a ladies' club meeting, but the presence of the one male belies that statement. In reality, we have here some members of the Vocational English class. The boy who is showing you that he can touch the floor without bending (almost) his knees is Maynard Inman. The Courtesy League scores one here, for the gentleman in being polite and picking up the eraser for the girls. Anna Mae Draper is writing on the board. Esther Hoffman is behind her to the left; Hazel Allbec to the right. Eva Huff and Marian Mack are interested in Maynard. (9) Eleanore Keagy is the girl at the desk taking in the money. On the other side of the door through which these sophomores have just come is a sign reading: “Time’s a wastin'. Huy your 1939 ARROW now. Here we see four people heeding this advice. These sophs with foresight are Gloria Reitz. John Pardon. Ella Mae Helseth, and Gladys Kirk. (101 Here we have the 6th hour Latin class out for a little exercise.

I.est these names sink into oblivion we have reached intv the grab-hag and come forth with this information. James Anderson blows his own horn—(I mean flute ! and does a good job of it. either way you look at it. “Ginger McClain and “Ginia’ Daulton have a way with the men. Clarence Flesher has potentialities when it comes to being drum major. Arnold Thorson, a counsin of Don's, has, like Don. a mind of his own. Herbert Fear, the possessor of the hair all girl's envy and a smiles everyone envies, makes life most interesting for all. John Parden is a witty young man with talent for saying anything anytime. Verla Belle Stinson is a pleasant person with a quiet and smiling personality. I he dark hair and dimples of Violet Johnson set off her shy character. Bill Kane is one of our promising sophomore athletes and artists. His biology sketches are wanted by everyone and he's willing to comply. (Especially for Angela.) Jeane Lowe is the girl whose poems we've all been reading in the Word Craft. “Butch Kotsakos is the one who never frowns. He has an unusual gift for rendering bright remarks. Sometimes they are apropos. Eddie Carlsen could make any girl’s heart beat faster with his personality, blond hair, and blue eyes. What a man! Marvin Jones is one of the few “bookworms” in our class. In fact it's rather unusual to see him without a novel under his arm. Gladys Kirk, whom we know as “Happy”, lives up to her nickname. Lenny Siekmeir, our noisy yell leader, keeps everybody guessing, including himself. Yvonne Ferguson, sister of Gaylen. is liked by everybody. Nothing is ever so dark but what she can smile. Shirley Johnson and Marjorie Lewis are two of the few who get all A's on their report cards. Too bad we can’t all be smart. Mary Evelyn Huffman should get a prize for her pep. Nothing, ever daunts her. Among the world's heavyweight champions in 1950 we'll have “Midget” Steers and Mike Sanders, the most prominent of all in the ring. Harold Seaton has an enviable sense of humor. We can all imagine him as being a guest speaker at a banquet forty years from now and telling dinner stories. Pat Hayman couldn’t be serious if he tried. There's always one person who laughs at his jokes and that's himself. W e are hoping that some day “Red” Saylor, our distinguished class president, will get an “A in geometry all by himself. Perhaps with a little more help from the lovely ladies who sit around him. he will. When three girls like Sybil Premack, Betty Ginsl erg, and “Toody” Murphy get together there's bound to be fun. Dorothy Ruckman, our girl yell leader, has what it takes for being peppy. She's also a good sport. Good-natured Dan Voet is always agreeable, no matter how the wind blows. Athletic THEY LEAD US By Bobbin Stevens C H. HOI-GATE as director of athletics takes care of scheduling all games. He is also varsity basketball coach. Kay Antil in his second year at Central led the Eagle pigskin Inters to the runner-up position in the Eastern Conference. Roy Davidson had his hands full as assistant track and football coach. “Davy” did the tape slinging for both squads. Les Rathman proved his worth in bringing up a good track team. He also had charge of the Pep club this year. Russa Osborne coaches the sophomore football and basketball teams. In the spring his thoughts turn to baseball. Robert Greene has charge of the Cardinals in football and track, but during the cage season, he coaches the juniors. LuVerne Frink led the Tigers in intramural football. Cecil Monroe is the coach of all the future “Budges” and “Makos in the game of tennis. Other coaches whose pictures do not appear are Bert Popowski and Mylo Jack-son. Mr. Popowski shows the Centralians how to keep the eye on the ball and swing hard, not in baseball, but in golf. Mr. Jackson showed the junior football team its best year when it defeated the sophs. Mylo coached the Tigers in track, also. ith these ten able coaches at the helm at Central High School, a very fine athletic program naturally results. Athletics are for every one who is interested, not for just those who excel in a particular field. Every boy in Central has the opportunity of participating in the sport he likes best, whether it is football, basketball. track, baseball, tennis, or golf. So choose your sport, boys, and these men will lead you. 75 76 The 1938 (ioldrn Kairlc . Rack row: left to right: Bill Mayer. Ignatius Hartung, Bob Tarver. Jack Hurst, Dick Watson. Don Porter.

Coaches Hay Antil and Roy Davidson built their 1938 team around a veteran backfield. Although not reaching the heights of the 1937 team, the 1938 team was considered by many as being just as strong. Winning five and tying one of its eight scheduled games, the Eagles finished a strong second in the Eastern Conference. Aberdeen showed North Dakota fans a real brand of football in the Eagles’ opener of the season. Starting with a strong offense in the first quarter, the Feathered Flock gained momentum in the second half to win 25-0. Sioux City East High proved to be too big a slice for the Golden F'agles, who went down to defeat for the first time since Hay Antil came to Aberdeen. The score, at the end of this rout, was 13-7. The effects of the Sioux City game showed up definitely in the conference opener with Sioux Falls, the Eagles losing 14-6. Boasting the strongest team that they have had in years, Watertown held the Hub Citians to a scoreless tie, the fifth tie with Watertown in the past eight years. The wearers of the Blue and Gold started their comeback trail by defeating a stubborn Pierre team 12-2 in the Capital City. Next to fall before the Antilmen was Huron, which was headed for a state championship. Aberdeen showed one of the most powerful offenses seen for some time in beating the Tigers 21-7. Although they had been defeated several times, Mitchell had one of the strongest line in the conference. Aberdeen trailed Mitchell until the last quarter when Donlan scored the winning touchdown on a plunge through the line. L ' The Junior : left lo ri ht: back row: Wally lleirler, Don Hansen.

WELL, WE BEAT THE SOPHS By Bob Leibenow The JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM under the mentorship of Milo Jackson completed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the junior squad. Coach Jackson took his athletes to Groton for their first game and returned with a 6-6 tie. The Tigers, Northeastern Conference champs, scored in the opening minutes of play. They were on their way to a second touchdown, when Don Hansen, junior halfhack intercepted a pass and raced 65 yards to score. Both teams missed their trys for extra points. The remainder of the game was played in mid-field. The blue clad warriors next encountered the F.llendale eleven. Kllendale possessed a veteran, well balanced team that completely outweighed the juniors. The Juniors held in the shadow of their own goal posts many times before the superior weight wore them down. Kllendale finally scored three times to win 19-0. Superior weight and experience again ruled the gridiron in their next encounter. After repelling the Webster attack for nearly two quarters, the Bearcats scored and went on to dominate the play winning by the score of 26-0. The next week the Juniors met their dreaded rivals, the Sophomore team. It was in this game that the Juniors played their finest football of the year. The line constantly out charged the golden clad sophomores and never gave their attack a chance to get rolling. The junior backfield played a great part by scoring the 20 points in a 20-0 victory. One of the touchdowns came on a spectacular 95 yard run by Kyle Thornton. Central's junior representatives traveled to Bowdle for the concluding game. The Cossacks had a team that had gone through the season undefeated and untied. A flurry of wide endsweeps and tricky passes proved to be too much for the boys-of Central. The Juniors went down to defeat 39-7. 78 WITH PLENTY OF RHYTHM By Bobbin Stevens C ONCENTRATING on OFFENSE ill the early September practices, the Eagles showed a fairly smooth running attack combined with a passing attack, par excellence. Coaches Ray Antil and Roy Davidson produced a strong team that overpowered teams equally as strong. Ending second in the conference showed that Aberdeen can produce strong teams. Opening the season against one of North Dakota’s strongest teams, the Golden Eagles completely out played Wahpcton winning 25-0. Late in the first quarter the Antilmen scored on a tricky lateral pass that sent Zerr over standing up. Zerr finished up the score with two long runs that netted touchdowns and an intercepted pass, which he carried 85 yards to the goal. Donlan’s consistent line bucking was a big factor in making the Eagles’ offense clic k.

Here the reserves took over, with Omland and Carlscn scoring the two remaining touchdowns. Seven of the Eagles played their last game for Central; included was Captain Spence Zerr whose vacancy in the next year's hackfield will be hard to fill. Nine returning lettermen should, however, make a strong team for '39”. SIXTEEN JITTERBUGS . . By Billy Mayer F RANK “SPENCE’ ZERR was one of the best back-field men in the state. Spence could drive harder than most backs twice his size. He did the passing and signal calling and set off the spark that kept things going. tommy Donlan completed his second year of All-State football at fullback. Being the best blocker and kicker in the state does not over emphasize his ability. Russell Smith made the going plenty tough through his side of the line. His hard tackling as well as his big smile will be missed in the Eagle lineup. Elmo Jerde won his first letter as a tackle. He will be missed next year because of his rugged defense. Paul Geno won his second letter as the toughest guard on the team. He also found blocking to his liking while running interference. Bob Tarver, guard, was a hard fighter who could always be depended upon to give the very best he had. Don Punch Porter had a knack for getting hold of passes which made him a valuable man when the going got tough (and that was often). Pete Becker liked to do things the hard way. Instead of going around a defensive man, Pete would go through him. Pete also shared the passing with Zerr. I.eft to riKht. top: Frank Zerr. Tommy Donlan. Kuosell Smith. Elmo Jerde. Paul Geno.

Stan is one of the most valuable returners. Bobbin “Swede” Stevens received his first letter at the quarterback and fullback positions. Blocking was “Swede’s” speciality and he did it well. Bill Hopp played a tough game at guard beside doing a good job of blocking on offense. Bub Omland was a little man but just as tough as they make them. Bob showed the most progress of any man on the team, coming from the third string to a regular halfback position. Frank Moffenbier used his size to a good advantage in stopping opposing backs around his end. Next year should be a big year for “Muff . Dick Watson is a valuable returner in the line.

STRONG IN SPIRIT By Bob Boat Hi SH! WHAT WAS THAT we were saying? Oh yes. we were talking about that 1938 sophomore football squad. They had a tough season, didn't they. Oh, do you think differently, my junior chums? Here is where we hear the juniors brag, because they were the first junior team tit l eat a sophomore team. They have nothing to brag about though, nothing but a 20-0 victory over the strong little Kaglet squad. Of course that was not our only game; we played two others. We did not play in the Northcentral Conference this year, because they changed to six man football. Our first game was with Britton, which finished second in the strong Northeast Conference. The valiant sophomore squad held Britton to a scoreless tie. This was a very good start, but such men as Graeber. Kane. Fuller. Yining. Osterman. Hayman, Boa , and Bosley would rather win. These boys and others gave all they had to win this game, but they did the next thing to winning. Bowdle was the next foe to meet the determined sophomore squad. The soph's held Bowdle until the last quarter, when Bowdle put over their two touchdowns to win 13-0. We may add of course, to take the juniors down off their high perch, that Bowdle defeated them by a 37-7 score. This was not the end of the sophomore team's good work. These boys combined their efforts with the junior team to play the annual Hallowe’en night classic. But all the efforts this All Star team put forth were in vain, since the Northside Polar Bears beat them. Thf Tfrtra, left to richt: back row. Darwin Fi� k. Caspar Wcinbcckcr. Bernard Fiohhark.

I I HrY PLAY JUST FOR FUN By Burton Smith Vy'OACH CY HOLGATE the Roosevelt Roughriders to their first unshared championship in many years in the intra-mural league. The Roughriders went through their season with only one defeat, that at the hands of the lowly Cardinals; hut they also were tied in their final game by their traditional foe. the Simmons Shamrocks. The Shamrocks, on the other hand, finished the season in second place. They were followed by the Tigers, who were coached by LuVerne Frink. The Cardinals ended in the celler. but their victory over the league champs showed that they were to be feared. Ending the season with one victory against five losses, the Cardinals, coached by Boh Greene, showed a very weak team as compared with last year's Cardinal eleven. Their victory over Roosevelt was by a 7-0 score. They lost the first engagement with the Roughriders 12-0. The Simmons Shamrocks coached by Ed Gonsolin defeated the Cardinal eleven in both engagements, the first by a 12-0 score and the second by 6-0. The Tigers battled the Shamrocks to scoreless ties in both games in which they met. The Bengals seemed to like placing identical games, as they did in both their games with Roosevelt. The Tigers were a strong team, but the Roughriders conquered them after tough games by the score of 6-0 in both contests. The Tigers went on a scoring spree in their two encounters with the Cardinals to defeat the Cardinals 26-0 in the first game and 19-0 in the second. In the first game between Roosevelt and Simmons, the little Shamrocks put up a real battle but lost 13-0. In the second contest the Shamrocks really gave all they had. The game was a tight one, which was played in a sea of mud during a steady downpour. The two teams battled on even terms, and the game came out in a 6-6 tie. 84 Schmidt dude hi Kunrd and try n short shot with Hollar of Aberdeen ready to follow in ca-c he misses. The picture was taken near the end of the fourth quarter of the Aberdeen Mitchell game. BETTER THAN THEIR RECORD By W inton Sol berg � IT II ONLY ONE REGULAR and three other lettcrmcn returning, the Aberdeen High School basketball team found the going a little tough in the Eastern Conference. Winning only two of the conference games can not, however, show the power that the Eagles had this year. The worst defeat was at the hands of Yankton which was by eleven points. On a whole the rest of the games were much closer, especially with arch rivals. Starting on their conference season, the Eagles lost to the Huron Tigers. The Tigers lead throughout the contest, but a spirited rally in the fourth quarter brought the Holgatemen within one point of tying the Fair City boys. The rally, however, came to an end too soon, because Huron scoring a basket in the last thirty seconds of play put the game on ice for the Tigers. The final score was 22-19. The Eagles' inability to keep up the fast pace set by the Sioux Falls Warriors proved the margin of victory for the Warriors. Free throws had a big effect on the final score, Sioux Falls making eighteen out of twenty. Although the game was closer than the final score, 34-25, indicates, the Eagle forwards were unable to hit the basket with any consistency. The following night the Hub City boys defeated the Brookings Bobcats 24-22. The Feathered Flock lead throughout most of the game, but the Bobcats tied up the score in the closing minutes of play. The game looked as if it would go into an overtime period, but Stan Schmidt pulled one of his Frank Mcrriwcll acts, by making a long shot in the closing seconds of play. Returning to the Auditorium the Eagles met Mitchell. The Kernels brought a strong team that lead the Blue and Gold through most of the game. Aberdeen stayed in the running by their ability to make free throws. Both teams played conservative ball, but Mitchell's fine passing attack made them the superior team. Near the end of the game Aberdeen took the lead, but the Kernels finally worked through in the closing minutes to come out victorious 26-23. Sprnce .err Imp hifth into the nir to take a pjt-ahot at the ha ket. l.rr� on of Watertown and Don llouKe aland ready for action. The Golden Ragles really flew high when they next met Huron. They completely outclassed the Tigers especially on the defense. Throughout the whole first half, the Huh Citians held the Huron quint scoreless, while the Kagles scored fifteen points themselves. It was not until several minutes of the third quarter had elapsed that the Tigers finally penetrated the Blue and Gold defense. Huron finally came through with twelve points in the second half, hut the Feathered Flock showed entirely too much power and won 24-12. Watertown defeated the Kagles the first time in the last five starts. The Arrows had to put on a rally in the closing seconds of play to get the victor) 29-26. The Feathered Flock played hard hall, hut Lady Luck was with the Arrows on a long shot by Horning. Driscoll played outstanding hall for the Huh City five. Mitchell made it two in a row over Aberdeen by downing them 22-20 on the Corn Palace floor. The Kernels got an early lead and kept it during the rest of the contest. Stellar defense was shown by the Holgate squad in the second half by holding the Kernels to only one field goal. The Kernel’s, however, capitalized on free throws for their margin of victory. For three quarters, Aberdeen and Yankton battled on even terms, but in the first minute of the fourth quarter the Bucks turned it into a rout. The Kagles defense completely went to pieces and Yankton scored eight points to win 30-19. W atertown met Aberdeen on the Auditorium floor with all the rivalry that goes with meeting the traditional enemy. The game was filled with plenty of enjoyment for football fans. The contest could have ended with the third quarter since neither team scored a point during the fourth period. The lowness of the score 16-15 can be attributed to the tight defense of the two teams. Since Water-town played the tightest defense won by a margin of one point. The Kagles were defeated in their final conference game by Sioux Falls 19-15. Zerr played nice ball for the Blue and Gold, but the W arriors' fine ball club wore down the Kagles by their fast break. It was not until the final gun that the Holgate team was beaten.

THEY HAD WHAT IT TAKES By Bobbin Stevens .AbERDEEN HIGH SCHOOL started its basketball season in the right way with a non-conference victory over the strong Jamestown high quintet. During no intermission were the Blue and Gold clad team ahead. It was not until the last minute that Aberdeen took the lead only to have it immediately taken away.

In their second non-conference engagement the Eagles overpowered the Pierre High School quint 34-18. Zerr of Aberdeen was the standout performer leading the Eagles with twelve points. It took until the third quarter, however, for the Aberdeen five to get clicking. Coach Holgate’s entire squad played in the game. The Eagles met their first defeat at the hands of the Eargo Midgets in a wild overtime game. The Blue and Gold held a 17-6 margin at the half time, nut the Midgets staged a rally in the third and fourth quarters that spelled defeat for the Eagles. The victory did not come, however, until the overtime period when Fargo made two points before the Eagles could get going. The final score was 29-28. A smooth passing team from ahpeton avenged a football defeat by beating the Eagles 31-25. In the Eastern Conference Tournament the Eagles showed the fine team that they really were by winning the tournament and thus getting the unofficial state championship. The Eagles met the Brookings Bobcats in the first round and defeated them 23-19. The Aberdeen quint played their best ball when they defeated Watertown 27-26. The Eagles held a better lead than the final score indicates because they played a fine stalling game that allowed Watertown to bring the score up so close. In the championship the Golden Eagles outplayed the Huron Tigers for a 27-20 victory. CHAMPS” By Frank ' .err Captain rissell “waba” smith led his team during the “38-39’ season with his calm play. Russ was a good defense man and also did his share of scoring. He was chosen on the All- Tournament team at the guard post. Dean “Slim” Driscoll used his height to recover many a hall off the back hoard. He received his second monogram in basketball at the center position. Dick “Baron” Watson was the mainstay of the Eagle defense. He held down his guard post as well as any veteran. Dick will he back for next year’s team. Bob “Atlas” McKray, forward, won his letter by his steady play. Rob could fit into any situation with great ease. His specialty was “feeding” the other players the ball. Frank “Spence” Zerr was the Eagles’ leading scorer. Spence was a fixture at left forward and was able to make things dangerous for opposing guards. He also was chosen on the All Tournament team. ’ I Owen “Oates” Kcrvin, forward, was the only sophomore on the squad, so he will be of great value to future Eagle teams. Owen had an uncanny eye for the basket. Don “Hodge” Houge alternated at center. He was a scrapper and when the going got tough he could always be found in the thick of it. Don is another returning letter man. Stan “Smoots” Schmidt was the Eagles last minute man. If the team was behind a point near the close of the game, they would give the ball to Stan to put in the winning basket. Roland “Bill Mayer received his letter by filling in a big gap at the guard post. He is another returner to next year’s squad. Frank “Gus” Moffenbier, forward, played tough ball for the Eagles. 88 Junior : Hack row. | ft to r gh«: Don l!«n on. Doug SnvtS. Rr?r Krugrr. George Truman. Walter Beider.

WE PLAYED BUT DIDN’T WIN liy Matt Baumann WlTH THE LARGEST Tl R 0l T in junior basketball history, prospects looked good in early practices. The boys were up to mid-season form by the Christmas vacation. When they returned to school, they seemed a bit stale, but Coach Bob Greene was confident that this would wear off when the boys got back into condition. Th boys got off to a fast start against Ellendalc, and held a big lead at the half time. Then they encountered a problem which was to prove their jinx in future games. They fought a losing battle through the third quarter, and in the last quarter they were swamped by a score 21-16. Again the juniors were unable to hold on to an early lead that they had built up against Hccla, and they lost 31-20. Olson was the junior's mainstay. In the Bowdlc game, the juniors came back with a complete reversal of form. They never let up for a minute, playing good hall all through the game. Fouls wrecked the juniors’ chances, however, as approximately twenty-four fouls had been called on them. They lost 26-24. At Hccla the juniors put up a stubborn defense which the host team seemed unable to penetrate until the last minute of the third quarter, when they tipped in two successive baskets. The juniors were unable to regain their lead, although they outplayed Hecla. The score was 29-24. In a return engagement, the juniors were defeated on the Hitchcock court 35-24. Coach Greene played a second team most of the game which seemed to do all right on the small floor. Only the sophomores' calm play defeated their upper class foes. The juniors had the fight hut not the scoring eye, so they lost 17-21. The juniors lost their final game to Groton 19-36. The Soph : Bark row. left to right: Frank Hargrove, Karl Graeber.

The game went into two overtime periods before the Rockets put the winning basket. Leola proved to be a set up for the Eaglets who were now getting to be a smooth combination, and they defeated them 39-17. The Sophs showed their staying power by coming from behind in the second half to beat Columbia 32-30. The Eaglets went to Hecla where they avenged their former defeat by Hecla. Hecla lost their first game of the season to the sophomores 29-27. This was the first defeat Hecla had suffered out of nineteen starts. The Sophs played two non-conference games with Britton 29-28 and 23-20.

Aberdeen. THEY MAKE THE TRACK HUM By Bobbin Stevens ThE EAGLES’ PROMISE of a good track team was at last fulfilled by winning the Pierre Relays, taking third in the Conference Meet, and placing second in the State Meet.

John Kelly, and Frank O’Brien. Frank O’Brien and John Ruckman were favorites because of their former playing. These two furnished some of the toughest competition, hut when the battle was thinned down to John Malsom and John Kelly tin dope bucket was upset. Malsom and Kelly met in the finals of the tournament. When this match was over, John Malsom was crowned high school champion. In his march to the crown, Malsom defeated Minish 8 up in 7, Ruckman 6 up in 5, and Kelly 1 up in 19. Malsom sank a spectacular 12 foot putt on the 19 hole to win the match. The runner-up, Kelly, defeated Lowenstein 4 up in 3, Tallman 1 up. and O’Brien 1 up before l� eing defeated by Malsom. Contrary to previous years a dark horse came through to win over a favorite. The prize for the tournament is one year membership to the Aberdeen Country Club. The 1938 fall tournament opened with a few of last year’s contenders again playing against each other. Among the players this year were Joe Labesky, Frank Minish. Billy Mayer. James Palmer, Leo Lowenstein, and Ben Weber. Joe Labesky came out with the fall title by defeating Eugene Wiegel, James Palmer, and George eigel. and then Frank Minish in the finals. Minish, the runner-up, heat Leo Lowenstein, Ben Weber, and Francis Hauck before lie was beaten by Labesky. As the fall tournament is only warm up, the spring tournament this year promises some hot and heavy battles, and that is what the contestants want. A few of Central faculty members are also interested in golf. Among these arc Bert Popowski. instructor of high school golf; Ray Antil. coach of the Eagles in football: and Roy Davidson, assistant to Antil in football. “Davy is also Antil’s golf instructor. WE SERVE, WITH A RACKET By Bill Hopp With THE SWIFTNESS OF A DEER, the power of a new car, and the beauty of an eagle on the wing, the tennis players of Central High show their form in the spring tennis tournament. Each spring Aberdeen High School holds a tennis tournament to crown the school champion. The finalists represent the school in the State Tennis Tournament the following fall. Aberdeen, however, did not enter last fall’s meet because of football taking the time of the tennis stars. Seventeen hoys entered the tournament and some very good tennis was displayed. Eugene Brussell. the 1937 champion again won his way to the finals only to lose his crown to a newcomer in the high school tennis circles. Bill Hopp. Bill Hopp smashed his way to the finals and defeated Eugene Brussell in two straight sets by scores of 6-2, and 6-3 to win the tennis title. There were fifteen entrants in the girls' division of the tennis tournament, hut because of the lack of interest shown by the girls the tournament was never finished. It is hoped that in the future a successful tournament can he held to promote this interesting sport for both boys and girls. Many of the tennis enthusiasts held regular workouts in the school gym last winter under Coach Cec il Monroe’s guidance, so chances of an interesting tournament are better than at any previous time—Aberdeen has not won a state tournament title since 1932, and school tennis fans are looking forward to entering next year's team in the state tournament. 3 3 The 1938 Baseball team.

GIVE US THE RIGHT FITCH By Mail Baumann 1 � p 3 AfTER A SUCCESSFUL SEASON on scheduled games was rounded out, the Eagle batsmen raised themselves to higher heights by reaching the finals of the state unofficial baseball tournament. Here their glory ended as Webster, defending her title, subdued the Aberdeen nine by a score of 7-3. Starting out the season in grand style the Eagle nine, coached by Russa Osborne, bowled over Groton 8-0. Becker and Thornton lead the attack for Aberdeen with Becker getting a long home run. Next. Andover pulled the big surprise by beating the Eagles 4-2. Cresbard, came to Aberdeen, but an early barrage of hits gave Aberdeen the game 6-3. Cresbard, however, came back strong in a return engagement to win 8-7 in a last inning rally that got four runs for Cresbard. The Aberdeen hoys ended their season with victories; the first win was over Northville 9-8. and the last a 4-1 win over Groton. The Aberdeen High School Athletic Board again sponsored the State unofficial baseball tournament. The Blue and Gold nine won the first three games by decisive scores. The Eagles really kept the hall rolling past Groton in the first game, the Eagles winning 17-7. Warner was next to fall before the Eagles’ offensive power. Zerr and Van Der Kooy were the offensive stars with two hits apiece in the 12-0 win. One of Zerr’s hits was a home run in the first inning with a man on the hags. The semi-final game was a victory over Java by a 19-3 score. The Eagles opened their hatting power with Russ Smith leading the way with a long home run with one teammate aboard. Having won their preceding games by decisive scores, the Feathered Clan entered the final contest on almost even terms with Webster, hut the Bearcats successfully defended their title by a 7-3 win. 95 • Houge sink a free to to put the Eagle in lend 7-G against Mitchell. 2. 7.err attempt the point after touchdown Steven holding the hall. 3.

CENTRAL'S ALL-AMERICANS By Belle Porter ThE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION has been established in Central for the purpose of developing clean sportsmanship and physical fitness and to create school loyalty and service. Any girl who has earned one hundred points by participating in various sports automatically becomes a member of G. A. A. This organization providing many varied sports which aid in the developing of the mind and body is sponsored by the girls' physical education department. Although it is played differently than the men's game, basketball stands out as the favorite sport of the girls. During the basketball season, the girls get as excited over it as they do when watching the varsity in a game. So much interest is shown that a regular league is set up with the best players as captains of the teams. In the spring, all the girls' thoughts turn to baseball, the sport which ranks second in popularity with these Central All-Americans. The feminine Caseys have a great deal of fun standing up at the plate, taking three swings at the ball, and then sitting down. They never give up hope, however. The girls are given awards for compiling points in athletics. The new system enables every girl to earn extra points for their letters. A wide variety of individual sports is offered including bicycling, tennis, hiking, and riding. The G. A. A. opened its social calendar with a dancing party in the Washington gym in September. In December the winning volley-ball team was feted. The officers are: Catherine Heagle, president; Ramona Krzyzopolski, vice-president; Earlda Mac Gallagher, secretary; Mary Jane Torp, treasurer. The organization has benifitted by the new ideas of Miss Ruth Clemens, the physical education director. Pageant Day � «� .Marian Drmpiry urrrndrr� the crown to Marjorie Daniel , a her ladirs-in-waiting add charm to the oeca.tion. HAIL, THE QUEEN! By Margaret Archer As THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND, under the direction of Arthur Schwu-chow, played school songs, the loyal subjects of retiring queen Marian Dempsey filed into the gymnasium to see their new queen crowned. To the familiar, lovely strains of ‘’Carry Me Back to Old Virginity”, sung by Dolores Chapman, the Queen proceeded down the aisle on the arm of King in ton Solbcrg to her throne in the bower. Dressed in a quaint lace frock with hoop skirts under her royal robe, she awaited the arrival of the other celebrants. Escorted by fourteen Southern gentlemen, the seven queen nominees, Marjorie Daniels, Donna Daulton. Annrita Dresselhuys, Barbara Gallctt, Doris Gorder, Mary Aquin Heles, and Betty Jane Kettering, advanced, wearing strapless satin gowns of various colors with hoop skirts. Their hair was piled high in curls and topped by flowers which matched their gowns. When they were seated, the boys’ glee club entertained them by singing “Aura Lee and “Down Mobile”, and Eugene Brussel played a medley of familiar southern airs on his violin. The southern ladies then did a graceful ballet dance, which was followed by a tap routine by Eileen Mundy and Darlync Payne dressed as pickaninnies. After receiving rounds of applause, the two tiny Negroes, in the effective spotlights, shyly approached the throne to take the ring which would fit only the new queen. Hesitating, they advanced to each of the ladies and tried the ring while the audience waited, breathless. The ring was. slipped on the hand of Marjorie Daniels, and as the gymnasium echoed and re-echoed with the cheering and applause, Marjorie knelt to receive the pearl-studded crown. To an impressive march by the band, the new Queen ascended the steps, followed by her beautiful gownd attendants. Boy Wheeler and Jack Perkins were the royal trumpeteers, and Winifred Marlink played the piano accompaniments. (From left to ri :ht) BACK ROW: Bennie Brnson. Robbin Steven . Gaylen Fer«uM n.

By Elaine Mulcahey Tramp! tramp! tramp! The hand is marching Down the streets of Aberdeen. Shout and cheer. The Queen’s approaching With her attendants near. A D SINGING TO THE MARCHES of our school hand, marching four abreast, preceded by the queen, the queen nominees, the chief marshall and his assistants, one thousand students wended their weary but happy way down Main Street lined with enthusiastic townspeople, depicting the theme of the day—the 27th anniversary of Central High School. The theme of this year’s parade was “The Improvements of Aberdeen during the Past Years.” This was successfully carried out by each homeroom taking a topic to portray; the most original idea was depicted by Miss Brady’s homeroom, with •the members being rewarded for their ingenuity; prizes also were given to all homerooms having perfect attendance in the parade. It was with much pep and vitality that Central’s students paraded the streets. This enthusiastic spirit had been carried over from the night before when a big pep fest and snake dance had been held to officially open the Pageant Day festivities. :Songs and yells with plenty of pep were the order of the evening. A hair style •contest for the girls and a peanut rolling stunt for the boys ( in which height counted, witness George Lamb) were the features of the assembly. After these antics, a long line of noisy, hilarious young people wound round through our city’s business section. At the behest of the marshalls the throng came to a halt at the old postoffice. There, Central’s thousands once more gave vent to their gay enthusiasm. J p 105 0 1 ! 0 Ll 1 .1 (From left «o right) BACK ROW: Mnrjorir Daniels. Annrlta Dresseihuys. Barbara Gnllrtt.

A DAY OF QUEENS 'N THINGS By Dick DeVey VICTORY IS SWEET, so goes the saying, and there have been times when Aberdeen, the now and then invincible, has known that sweetness, but then again there are times when that saying is only a proverb. Pageant Day was such a time. It was too bad the Aberdeen Eaglets got the bitter end of the score in the afternoon game with Doland. The Sophs worked hard. too. Oh, yes, victory is very sweet. It was more than too bad that Golden Eagles got the VERY' bitter end in the night game with Sioux Falls. There was one moment of joyous applause when the Chief Marshal and the Queen beside him drove up the field in regal state, greeted their happy subjets, and found their places on the bleachres. But then the battle began. The Eagles fought like Trogans that night and even though the stars were against us. we can show you in black and white that we made more yardage than did the Warriors; in a 2 to 1 ratio, in fact! The audience sat fighting silently within themselves, mentally standing behind their team, but the realization gradually descended upon us that defeat was inminent. and that the Golden Eagles would be unable, in the few moments remaining, to dig themselves out of the hole in which they had placed themselves. Ah, yes, but the dance! The dance—. The tempo changes. The dance of the death ends. The gay melody is begun. Many of the girls left the game before its completion in order to look their best for the party, and, judging from the approving looks of the spectators and escorts, the early departure proved definitely worthwhile. W inton Solberg, chief marshal, and Marjorie Daniels, queen, led the grand march, followed by the marshals and queen nominees. There was good music; there were old friends. The defeat was forgotten. The dance was the thing. It was a fitting ending to the day’s activities. The dance was over—what? A nice moon? Oh, but assuredly! 106 Two snaps of Pageant Day: The Queen and Marshal smile benevolently on their dancing subjects: a section of the parade pauses as the camera man goes by. LONG, LONG AGO By Eleanor Shanahan LoNG, LONG AGO there was a group of Central high students who rehelled against the long monotonous hours of wearisome, drearisome work during the warm autumn days. Because of this rebellion our annual Pageant Day started way hack in 1919. Many boisterous Centralites, influenced by the balmy weather, decided that it was time for a holiday. They skipped school and paraded around town in a protest against routine. The next day several of them were called into the principal’s office. However, because the principal was an understanding man, there was very little punishment, and the next year, Pageant Day was instituted. Today, Pageant Day is an established tradition. So, Centralites. thank those boys and girls who brought about our all-student day. Those early Pageant Days may not have been so elaborate or so colorful, hut they had the spirit and plenty of it! By now. the students themselves have taken over the management of the activities. It has really become a day for the students, by the students and of the students. Pageant Day now begins with a rousing assembly on Pageant Eve followed by the snake dance. Bright and early the next morning, Centralites come to school to see the coronation of their queen. Then come the parade, the afternoon game, the big football game in the evening, and, to top it all off. the dance after the game. The long winding parade of marching students has for many years been one of the biggest features. As time went on floats were improved and stunts became more amusing. Nearly a score of parades have been devoted to the history of states and nations. Until 1929 all Pageant Days were completely alike, hut after this, each year brought a new theme. Suggested by the student council, the theme for this year, our new auditorium, was faithfully carried out by the student body of 1938-39 to make that Pageant Day the best yet. LO, THE MAESTROES By Bennie Benson CeN I HAL MAY WELL be proud of the capable leaders she has for the three divisions of her music department. The chorus, hand, and orchestra now rank as important subjects in a well rounded education. Miss Reva Russell, head of the music department of the city schools and director of the Glee (dub and A Cappella Choir, has trained music organizations of Aberdeen so well that that they have attained state-wide recognition. To most Central High musicians the acme of achievement is being a member of the A Cappella Choir. This very fine group of singers has done splendid work under Miss Russell’s supervision. The completion of the new school-civic auditorium was the realization of a dream for this hard working instructor. She felt deep personal pleasure when for the first time all the musical organizations in the city schools could be presented at one time in concert. An all-school Christmas program was given, also, under her direction. The state music contest held in Aberdeen this year was another indication of her ability as an organizer. Miss Russell is a tireless worker, loves peanuts, and hates cameras. All in all. Central High School is extremely proud of her three musical maestroes. Each in his own way has contributed a great deal to the success and fame of our school. The Arrow Board deemed it only fitting that this year's book should honor the department which has grown so creditably from a small, hard working department into one of the finest of the school. We, the Arrow Mr. Leopold Rutter, Central's talented orchestra director, is pictured listening intently to a phonograph. He is an able leader and can do wonders with his violin. His Ae Caneri has made him famous with the student body and has become an integral part of at least one assembly during the school year. Mr. Rutter is a capable soloist and is very active in the Aberdeen Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Arthur Schwuchow, ta-ta- Reva Russell ta-tum-ing away at the drums, is our band maestro. He came to Central two years ago from Hobart. Indiana, determined to show the South Dakotans how-champions are made. I nder bis tutelage, the band members learned that band class was as important to their instructor as other classes were to their teachers. Working on the the-Leopold Rutter ory that champion bands can't be built in a day. the students worked faithfully and hard. The four o’clock bell didn't necessarily mean that shop was closed for the day- Often it meant getting out the old instrument, setting up the music rack, and going to it, up and down the scale, over and over again. By dint of this overtime labor, these musicians returned with first class laurels from their state contest trip. All in all. the band has shown tremendous progress since the members have responded to their leader's vigorous training. Many new instruments have been bought during the year, and as a crowning glory, the band appeared at the contest resplendent in new uniforms, and no one was prouder than Mr. Schwuchow, to see his band so well attired.

MUSIC PAR EXCELLENCE By Harlan Davis XT IS TEN MINUTES f twelve and one of Central's most famous organizations starts to work. ‘‘All right, let’s quiet down here. drawls President Turcll (Fuzz) Van Petten. Over in one corner Vice President Josephine Ranney and Secretary Don Houge take roll while Treasurer Margaret Archer finishes passing out the music. With one of the chorus members directing, the singing begins. This is part of the student leadership program wherc-by the students themselves assume complete responsibility of the choir. They arc encouraged to take care of all organization and discipline duties. The privilege of directing the choir is open to all members. Soon the door opens quietly and a very erect person slips in. She stands listening for a few minutes, makes some suggestions to the student directing, and finallv takes charge herself. She greets late-comers with a simple, ”1 hope you re late to your own funeral.” This is the director, Miss Reva Russell. She remakes the chorus into an A Cappella choir, the most outstanding high school choir in South Dakota. Under her direction, the Aberdeen choir has rated first, year after year, in the State Music Contest. In 1937 it was selected to represent South Dakota in the North Central Regional Music Contest in Minneapolis. This year's A Cappella is outstanding for two reasons, first, the choir this year deviated from the usual procedure of doing a great deal of preliminary work. A program including a number in light part harmony was presented publicly after only three weeks rehearsal. With this new building, a type of work never before possible can be carried on. The equipment obtained in connection with the music hall includes a recording machine which the chorus can use in correcting its faults.

In the spring of 1938 it got off to a good start by getting a first division rating in the state contest. The fall brought the completion of the auditorium and with it the new rehearsal hall. With some new members and many veterans, Mr. Schwuchow soon had his organization functioning smoothly. The band initiated the new music department. being the first Central High Band to use the spacious music room with its stationary rises. Other accommodations include four practice rooms, an instrument room, a library and uniform room, and offices for the music supervisors. With the addition of several new instruments the band really “went to town . During auditorium week the band held a clinic to inaugurate the new building. About three hundred musicians from towns in North and South Dakota came to Aberdeen to play in the clinic band. Mr. Gerald Prescott of the University of Minnesota and Mr. Carleton Stewart of Mason City, Iowa, conducted this musical ensemble. Another feature of this year's program was a winter concert held during the latter part of January. This concert will probably become an annual affair. On several occasions the band helped make a good assembly program better. The playing of the “Donkey Serenade . “Betty Coed”, and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” along with rousing renditions of the school songs, was fully appreciated both at these programs and at the basketball games. In the spring, the band again had an opportunity to prove itself by playing host to the State High School Music Contest. This was a fitting climax to the year's activities, and our band of ’38 and '39 will be remembered for its fine work and as the first group to receive the benefits of the fine musical facilities.

This strange noise from the south side of the Orchestra Room brings to mind the fact that the “basses” are flatting another low note in their own inimitable way. The celloists have given tip playing long ago. and are now staring about the room with a dazed look in their eyes. The violas are not being played today because of lost music, but the violinists are struggling manfully to cany on. Mr. Rutter's face is a picture of uncontrollable emotion as he counts aloud, aided by the sturdy banging of his baton. Such is a day in the life of an orchestra member. Only the vision of the music contest and a concert in the auditorium keeps them struggling Although hindered by “Blue Mondays and “off days, the orchestra does accomplish a great deal. For the past few years this organization has provided music for the junior and senior plays. Also the orchestra gives an annual spring concert and several radio programs. Helping Mr. Rutter through the year: Eugene Brussels, concert master; Henry Douglas, president; John Breen, vice president; Dora May Gunderson, secretary; Betty Gerritsen and Adelaide Kuni, librarians; and Gloria Swift and Jane Dalthorp, publicity committee. The orchestra has been increasd by the addition of twelve new members. These people and the returning members are all working hard for the climax of the orchestra vear, the music contest. Each member is putting forth his best efforts in order to raise the standards of the orchestra and the high school. When the basses do not flat, the cellos carry through, and the violins and violas are plaved with assurance, the hard work of the orchestra will be rewarded. I hen another page on the high school music program will be marked as a success for the orchestra. 117 P P � P (tom � -olion� of the Gl e Club with if ardent w n ter make an appropriate background for Accompanist Winifred Marlink.

I he sophomores and juniors, however, plan to improve to the extent that they may become members of the A Cappella. Music used by the (ilee club is well suited to the music students age, so that they may become familiar with songs sung by groups. Four to eight part compositions are used, and surprisingly fine results are obtained. Each year pleasant and entertaining concerts are given for the purpose of showing the chorus’s outstanding work during the school year. With all of its members dressed in uniforms of black and white the glee club give their concerts in the auditorium the former and latter part of each year.

RESULTS OF COOPERATION Dear friends: In the fall of 1938, the Arrow Board began laying plans for an Arrow that was to represent a cross-section of Central High School. We wished that we might dedicate it to a department of our school that was meritorious of our inscription. The theme decided upon was music. As time progressed, the plans became tangible in the form of copy and pictures. We kept the theme in mind; we revised sections to make them more versatile. We improved the cover and binding. Now in 1939, we have the result of a year’s work in paper and ink: the record of a progressive year in Central that may take its respective place with the Arrows of the past has been completed. May I take this opportunity to thank each member of the board individually in appreciation of their tasks well done: Glenn Kelley, Senior Editor of forty-eight pages; Bobbin Stevens, capable Sports Editor; Grace McKcague, Junior Editor: Elcanore Keagy, Sophomore Editor; Eleanor Shanahan and Gaylen Ferguson, Activities Editors; Betty Crampton, experienced and competent Art Editor; Robert Gerber, Business Manager. I also wish to express my thanks to Delores Ann Wood, our director and instructor, and Bert Ropowski, our printer and photographer, for their help in making our annual memorable to all. We appreciate the work done by the art department and the print shop, and thank the faculty for their help and advice. Sincerely yours, Bennie Benson Editor of 39 Arrow Deadline!

By Hetty Jane Kettering WllAT FIKST MAY SOI D like one vast note of discord is just the journalism department located in the Washington music hall. Maestro Dwight Coursey set the pitch for the whole Blue and Cold staff by (lashing madly hither and thither. He sometimes accidentally threw the entire staff off key when he unexpectedly soft pedaled and heard his pupils discussing their tasks in a light vein. The department really hit high “C” when the news was received last fall that first prize in an international contest sponsored by the Quill and Scroll society had been captured by Central's Blue and Cold. This year's staffs kept in tunc with the note set by the former classes by swinging out with a series of editions on an equal par with the championship renditions of last year. During the fall semester, a staff held on pitch by master jitterbugs Don Thor-son, Lucile Westby, and Hartley Borchers, really kept the journalism jam sessions in the groove. Copyreaders Don Keenan and Jean Gunderson sounded out the sour notes in the band, sending out a smooth, harmonious paper. A touch of the classic was added to the sw ing by editorial writers Mary Jane Torp, Chester Penroy, and Douglas Blankenbaker, who frequently “gave” in the form of a number of startling editorials. Sport soloist Matthew Baumann, well-versed in his section, kept the sport page humming. Of the remaining musicians, each proved to be an artist in his line. Because of the “Sweet and Hot medium reached by the Blue and Cold, the members received a thunderous ovation, and closed their grand concert feeling justly rewarded for their hard work. 124 Natalie Mallav in the cynosure of the admiring rare of some of the Courtesy I-earue members. SWEET AND SMOOTH By Betty Jane Kettering WlTH “The Courtesy League Says as its theme song, that well known student association reformed many “hot swing addicts into lovers of sweet and smooth music. Those pupils who were hardy enough to rise early to arrive at school before eight o’clock each morning were to find the Courtesy League advisory hoard meeting at least once a week. On these occasions, the jam sessions were held in the chemistry room. Hot notes flowed high and fast while the compositions were being composed, but the finished music was the answer to any music lover's desire. Buttons, white for sophomores, blue for juniors, gold for seniors, designated the wearers as members of the vast Courtesy League chorus. All pupils of Central High School who understood and practiced the fundamentals of courtesy were allowed to join the ranks of the society. President Jane Dalthorp held the beat for the entire advisory board under the supervision of Carl Gruhn. She was aided by vice-director Bernice Pfeiffer, composer Gaylen Ferguson, and keeper-of-the-bank-notes, Lucille Paar. The social contact division was controlled by Doris Gorder and a number of able assistants. Betty Jane Kettering set the rythmn for the publicity department, under which Betty Crampon and Cyril Schile “sent some excellent posters. Clementine Sehwan was director of an able group of courtiers, who took charge of courtesy and rating cards. A special committee under the supervision of Mary Jane Amt was selected to cope with the sour notes of certain individuals rendered. These discords were discovered when a number three appeared on the rating cards. Reminders of the principles of courtesy were composed by a staff directed by Grace McKeague. In its third year of operation, the Courtesy League made many revisions and improvements which tended to make the 1938-39 season a most successful one.

A HIT OF THE YEAR By Turell Van Pet ten We FIND THIS GATHERING of 38 Word Grafters, some looking mirthful and merry, others meditative, awaiting the arrival of Miss DcHaven. their counselor. The eye-catching creation resting on the fuzzy head of Van Fetten and held gingerly by the editor-in-chief, Harlan Davis, is a pattern of this year's Word Craft; Edwin Brown aided by Miss Lambert, art adviser, designed it. Word (.raft is the result of a quest for a means of student literary expression. It came into being three years ago and has become one of the outstanding high school literary magazines in the state. The collection of prose and poetry is representative of the best work done by Central's literati. Word Craft's progressive jumps in sales are indicative of its success and popularity with the students. Dr. Arthur Seymour, a man who had done much for South Dakota as an educator and minister during his life here, and his family were the recipients of the dedication. Dr. Seymour’s four children have all gained recognition in their chosen fields, all of which are connected more or less with literature. Gideon Seymour , editor of “Look , is a graduate of Central, as are his brother and two sisters. Absence of any commercial advertising is a commendable point in a creative writing publication so young. Word Craft was written, edited, illustrated, and printed by students of Central. The executive staff, consisting of Harlan Davis, editor; Margaret Archer, assistant editor; and Turell Van Fetten, business manager, was aided, by four representatives from each of the three classes. 126 Here we nee two view of our library.

Its territorial superiority results from several months of remodeling the old study hall and assembly room. New equipment consisting of chairs, tables, and counters surround a magazine rack which holds the latest issues of nearly all of the better periodicals. Back issues of magazines arc filed in the reference corner. Debate researchers may be seen gathering information from them from Monday through Friday. Two new sets of encyclopedias, a new atlas, and a very recent edition of Webster's giant size dictionary have been added to the library's repertoire of good and useful books. These arc well-thumbed daily. I t us take a trip through the spacious domain of Miss Thomas, our librarian. As one passes through the swinging doors an orderly acre of tables edged with equally orderly chairs, greets our eyes. That is the picture of the empty library. Then, suddenly, a bell rings and a wander-lust group of students stream into the palace of books. Students not on the “A”, “B , or “C honor roll take chairs assigned them. The remaining populous take seats conveniently near the door. All inmates may walk at liberty to and from book cases. Because of the large number of patrons, tea is not served. In conclusion it is sufficient to say that nowhere in South Dakota nay, the whole Northwest, is there to be found a high school library finer than that of our own Central High. 127 rlic Junior ClaM ol Central Schoj PRESENTS THE POOR NUT Uv J.

BUSY PRINTERS By Lloyd Hughes Just OFFHAND WE LL BET you can’t name one activity that goes on under the auspices of Central high school that the Print Shop doesn’t have a hand in putting across, via posters, programs, tickets, or some other form of printed matter. You'll take that bet? Name four. In brief, Bert Popowski took charge of the Central plant in 1931, at which time it was installed in its new quarters in the Washington Building. Since then the Print Shop has been turning out an increasingly greater assortment of fine printing. In 1935 the Arrow, a Print Shop product, won the state championship and it has dropped no lower than third place during the past eight years.

INTEREST GROUPS By Grace McKeague M ARJORIE AGGEiV, Luanne Wells, and Normajean Leach are shown critically examining the blue and gold pennants which some of the Hi-Tri groups make at their weekly meetings in the early fall. Then, when the whistle is sounded out on the football field, these makers of their wares are right there parting you and your last dime in exchange for the piece of blue and gold felt, which in some way or other makes you feel a little hit more loyal and adds to the spirit of festivity. Mavis Ryman, Marian Davies, Lucille Lowary, and Marjorie Albright have decided that they will learn a little contract after all. Everybody’s learning, and so are the girls in the different Hi-Tri groups. Jo Ranney and Dorothy Brownell, being young ladies of industry, decided to improve their time by learning to “knit one, purl two”. Dorothy looks as if she were thoroughly enjoying watching Jo. ‘‘That will look like a sweater yet, Jo,” she says. AIR 129 THERE’S MUSIC IN THI By Donna Daulton ThERE’S MUSIC IN THE AIR—at least when the Hi-Tri clubs of Central have their weekly meetings. Music seems to be their favorite indoor sport. Meetings often started out with a sedate, “Follow the Gleam’ or “I Would Be True”. Soon they branch into the French “Alouette” or the German “Du, Du”. Later they swing into “Alexander's Ragtime Band or some other currently popular song. Music, however, is not the only art in which the girls indulge. They try to follow the ideals of tin blue triangle, those of Spirit. Knowledge, and Health. Usually each Hi-Tri group has a party every month. These parties vary from the Splash and the Hay Ride type to the elaborate dance in the spring. The most important is the Christmas party held in the Municipal Hall which is given for the girls of all Hi-Tri groups. The singing of Christmas carols and the presentation of original skits and specialties made up an interesting Yulctide program. The Hi-Tri Frolic was the climaxing party of the year. To this party the girls invited their own guests. This year the party was again a huge success. During the year the different Hi-Tris held separate weekly meetings which were for both business and social purposes. This year several of the clubs divided in interest groups. Sewing, bridge, knitting, drama, and handicraft were the subjects chosen. The girls were assisted by various directors. An activity of the Senior Hi-Tri was the making of pennants. Started the year before, this activity proved to be so popular that the Senior Hi-Tri again made them. It looks as though this w ill become a permanent activity. The pennants of blue and gold felt were sold to students at all football games. Outdoor sports were featured by all groups. Picnics and tennis tournaments in the spring and fall and ice skating and sleigh rides in the winter were special favorites. During the holiday season, many girls went caroling for the benefit of many local residents. These and many other activities made this club a great favorite among the sophomore, junior, and senior girls of Central. Officers are elected each semester for each club. First semester officers were: Senior A Club: President, Marjorie Daniels; vice president, Dorothy Hayes; sec retary, Jean Burns; treasurer, Arvilla Anderson.

I HE ORGANIZATION of free dancing classes held in Washington under the direction of Miss Clemens, a larger group of Centralians has become dance-conscious. It is predicted that more school dances will he held now that we have better floors and music and dancers with more confidence in themselves. I he first dance of the 1938-39 season was the Pageant Day party. Queens and Marshals came dressed formally; the nominees wore southern costumes. During the next months several organizations gave dances that attracted a jovial crowd; these swingsters often attempted the “Lambeth Walk , as they did the “Rig Apple the season before more or less effectively. Any school organization may sponsor a dance, and, in the traditional style, the Booster club, Hi-Y. Hi-Tri, the junior class, and the senior class sponsored dances that made Central’s swingaroos forget algebra and chemistry while they cavorted and tripped about under the soothing influence of rhythm. The Hi-Y Washington birthday dance was the third semi-formal dance put on by that club that has met with success. Next came the Coed Hop. strictly a girls' affair, at which the “host” arranged “his partner's program and did everything “lie could to make the evening a success. The Hi-Tri dance brings back memories of an enjoyable time, memories which prove that dances sponsored by the girls are just as much fun as those at which the boy makes all the arrangements and do the paying. Lastly, and most important, was the Junior-Senior Prom. Formal gowns and white flannels, palm branches and dimmed lights, a floor show and good music, all made a setting appropriate for such an occasion and most aptly terminated the 1938-39 dancing season at Central High School.

THH MONDAY NIGHT BOYS By Robert Jones ThE HI-Y CLl B has been organized in Aberdeen lo create high standards of Christian character throughout the entire school and community. Thus it is an organization of boys who follow the purposes and standards that the club represents Any boy who is accepted into this organization will endeavor to be of service to it. Last semester, the Hi-Y club promoted and directed the Washington Birthday Ball. This was the club's outstanding engagement of the year and proved successful. I he boys who acted as officers for the first semester were: president, Robert Jones; vice-president, Harley Miller; and secretary-treasurer, Richard Watson. I he annual Hallowe'en Party, which was held at Johnson Field, proved a success for the officials in charge as well as giving the Aberdeen children a party at which they could expend their vim, vigor and vitality in a wholesome manner. The Hi-Y club took an active part during this party by performing certain duties. Some of the various jobs given the club were: to decorate the goal posts; distribute the treasures; patrol fences; and to help serve the refreshments. Every Monday evening at 7:15 a meeting of the Hi-Y club is called. The Hi-Y cabinet attempts to vary the weekly program, and thus make each meeting an interesting one for the members. On many occasions professional business men willingly tell the Hi-Y boys of their respective professions. Citizens of the city readily oblige the club by displaying motion pictures of various parts of the country. Also competent speakers are asked to lead in group discussions. Besides these interesting programs there are the bean feeds, the swims in the “Y” pool, and even the simple business meetings, all of which proved favorable in the eves of the club members. Mr. Clifford Roloff is the competent leader of the Aberdeen Hi-Y club. 132 Our cameraman invaded the private precincts of the unhers as they were preparing for a night on duty.

TICKETS PLEASE By Hill Hagerty As YOU ENTER THE LOBBY of the new auditorium a few minutes before eight on a night when the Golden Eagles are going to play another thrilling basketball game, and you hear the band making the rafters ring with their stirring “On Brave Old Aberdeen”, and you hear the booming voice of cheer-leader Haddow urging the fans to give one more “rah for the team, you feel panicky and wonder why you had been so poke-y, and now all the choice seats will be taken and—, but wait, here’s a handsome, very calm, efficient looking young man taking your ticket and saying, “This way. Sir, and you follow him, knowing suddenly that everything’s all right. He’s a member of the auditorium usher staff, a new organization in Central, under the direction of Merten Hassc, which was formed last fall to insure an efficient usher group in the new Civic Auditorium to function at all events. Their first appearance during dedication week, November 6-13, proved that a permanent staff will be of great help in keeping a well regulated auditorium. The staff has uniforms consisting of blue satin shirts, dark bow-ties, and dark trousers. The shirts have the word “usher in gold letters on the sleeve. Eligibility rules which govern athletics are also in force for the ushers. There arc representatives from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes in the group. The boys are paid according to the class in w hich they are enrolled. 1 he staff will take care of ushering, ticket-selling, stage management, lighting, and similar duties at all school activities. ¥ J If iJ I L L1 I? li J � 133 l.orraint Johnson.

They would he irritating to the ear, although one knew nothing about flats and sharps. This instinct is called intuition. It is also intuition that draws one’s attention to the lack of these essentials plus balance, proportion, and color in the arrangement of articles in the home. Central’s Homemaking club takes up these phases of design in the home as part of their interesting and varied annual program. Many other attractive annual activities are a custom with this club. “Open House” for parents and friends on Ellen Richards’ birthday is held on December 2. Ellen Richards is the founder of Home Economics in schools. Open house for freshmen girls of Simmons junior high school is held the second semester. Food preparation for the annual athletic dinner is carried on by club members. They also serve teas at the P. T. A. Council meetings. A pot luck supper and fun night for all members of the club is eagerly looked forward to each year. An open letter to all senior high girls in which homemaking activities are stressed is one of the annual projects. Central’s Homemaking club plans to entertain other clubs in this district each year. In 1931 this homemaking club was organized, the first of its kind at Central. A band of enthusiastic members, under the successful supervision of Miss Clara Flem-ington, has kept the club active each year since. It is not the only organization of its kind. It is a member of the South Dakota and the National Student Club organization. The National Home Economics Student Club initiation ceremony is used in introducing new members into the club and one which is most impressive. A good slogan for all musicians to follow is also a fitting one for all homemakers: “Hearts that love, heads that think, and hands that work.” turr Van VtHtn with hi gesticulation may plca c the girl .

FRIENDS, ROMANS, FT AL By Jane Bing IVI A'l BK 01 RL A NO 11 IKK PLRSON who has often stopped to gaze at those students who stumble down the halls between classes, mumbling to themselves; or perhaps you’ve seen someone sitting all alone at a table in study hall, hands over his ears, staring at the walls, and diligently reciting verse after verse from the script before him. More than likely it was someone from “Declam” trying to memorize his poem before four o’clock and hoping for the best. Declamation is one of the most interesting extra-curricular activities Central has to offer. It is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are three sections: oratory, poetry, and dramatic reading. Students faithfully recite for Mr. Monroe, the instructor, on a certain night once a week, lie offers suggestions and gives his advice until each person masters his reading. hen contest time draws near, the best student from each group is chosen to represent his section. The contests are held much like the music contests in the spring, first there is a regional meet which was held at Cresbard. Dick De Vcy, Harlan Davis, Turell Van Pettcn, and Helen King entered the contest and three came back with first places, and one with a second place. The district contest was held at ebster several weeks later. In the state contest held at Woonsocket Harlan Davis —poetry, and Helen King—dramatic, represented Aberdeen. And now just what does one get out of declamation? Just as the band, orchestra, and chorus develop an appreciation for music, so declamation develops an interest in better poetry, speeches, and readings. It also betters diction and pronunciation and teaches one to speak fluently and clearly. It may be of help in a later profession such as law or acting. Who knows but what we may have a Lynn Fontanne or a Katherine Cornell among us? “And that, my worthy opponents, proven my lant point.” nays Dick Noll, as debaters Keller. .Murphy, Bassett. Smith, and Mantel find contradictions. The audience listens half-heartedly. MY FRIENDS...................................” By Jeanne Mnrpliy ThESE WORDS MAY SEEM to be the soft mellow tones of our well known President. hut in reality they are the staccato notes of a student in Miss Brady’s public speaking class doing his best to convince his audience. This year the public speaking class consisted of thirteen students during the first semester, but the second semester showed a drop in the enrollment to nine pupils. During the first part of the school year. Miss Brady had her class work in extemporaneous speaking. A tournament was then held to choose the representatives to be sent to the Watertown extemporaneous contest. Marcella McGovern, Katherine Bassett, Glenn Kelley, and Richard Noll were the; students who made the trip. In the girls' division, Katherine Bassett placed first and Marcella McGovern won third place. The hoys did not place in their division. Having finished this type of speaking, the class then concentrated its work on debate. The question for debate this year is: Resolved, that the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. The students of the class all agreed that it was an interesting and very debatable question. The members of this year's debate squad are Richard Noll, Glenn Kelley, affirmative, and Katherine Bassett and Jeanne Murphy, negative. The teams attended several tournaments throughout the year. Among these was that held at the Moorhead State Teachers’ College, where with twenty schools present, the Aberdeen debate team ranked in fourth place. At Madison, Aberdeen tied for first place with Mankato, Minnesota, and Sioux Falls. In the spring, Miss Brady did considerable work in panel discussions. This work proved interesting and educational to the students in the class. The spirit behind our assemblies this vear emanated from Jim Morrison. Barbara Norris. Mary Heirs. Kloise Opdyke.

This year a new arrangement was submitted by Conductor Rathman. New members were chosen from the entire student body. They were selected as prominent students who really had “done things at Central and had not received much recognition for their work. Committees were organized to take care of the Booster Club's activities. Events boosted by Central’s Boosters included dances after games, rousing pep assemblies, concessions at games, the Aberdeen Relays, and many others. W ho gave us that rousing assembly before the Huron game? The Booster Club. W ith Booster Club members portraying Huron rooters, a spirited though somewhat discordant “Huron band, and a mock broadcast of the football game in which Aberdeen triumphed over all. the Ccntralite Boosters presented the first big pep assembly of the year. Perhaps the resulting enthusiasm helped the Eagles to win. W ho opened our 1938-39 basketball season with one of the biggest and best assemblies of the year? The Booster Club. With songs and cheers Central students showed the basketball team that they were behind them for their first game of the season. The feature of the assembly was a mock broadcast of the “Booster Hour over the “PEP broadcasting station of “Blue and Gold network . Who started something new this year with entertainment such as skits, tumbling acts, etc., between halves of our basketball games? The Booster Club. Who put over the sale of Relay tickets and sponsored the race for Relay Queen? The Booster Club. Concluding their activities for the year, the Boosters again made a great success of the Aberdeen Relays. With all this behind them, who can blame them for feeling that they have done their part to make this school year something that we will not soon forget.

OH, GET SOME PEP By Margaret Guhin A 01 TSTANDING ORGANIZATION in the school, Pep Club has become even more so this year with the selection of a new adviser, Mr. Rathman. Some of the members were retained from last year's club, while others were chosen from candidates of the different classes. These were elected as officers for the year: Lois Clock-sin. president; Dick Noll, vice-president: Margaret Guhin, secretary; and Dick Haddow, treasurer. One of the first things the club did this year was to provide the senior and junior members with sweaters in the school colors of blue and gold. It is the club's aim to own, eventually, complete outfits for all its members. At the pep assemblies, which have been so ably planned by the Booster Club this year, the Pep Club members get their work out. To inspire the sober seniors to respond to a Yea, team, fight” there are the earnestly pleading Dick Noll and the vociferous Dick Iladdow; but when these seniors felt like giving a rousing Oh. Here They Come”, Mary Trish and Helen Simon are on hand. Dick Stock and Kay Roberts encourage the juniors to cheer in perfect unison, while Margaret Guhin and Lois Clocksin lead them in sweet song. Helen King. Angela Noonan, and Eileen Murphy, performing together as an attractive trio, confidently lead the loyal sophomores in song. The pep and vitality of this class is concentrated into a mighty “locomotive” when Leonard Siekmier and Dorothy Ruckman ask their cooperation. At the end of the year when the whole school engages in the Song and Yell Contest, these Pep Club members work overtime. In the early morning these song and yell leaders assemble their classmates and coach them in the fine art of giving a cheer a la Noll, Stock, or Siekmier. and singing a school song, original at that. 137 Bill (iordfr very unrn thu instirall v rrritr for an unen«hu ia lic icroup: bark row.

Virginia Dnulton. and Mary Evelyn STREAMLINED LATIN By Sybil I remack I I YOL LISTEN CLOSELY every � tlu r Friday you may he able to discern one of the Central Latin Clubs combining its musical talent with its knowledge of the “Lingua Latina”, and, paradoxically enough, swinging it in a classical manner. “Io Aberdeen, Io Aberdeen, Merge Aciem”. . Of course, the members of Latin Club do other things besides sing. The meeting is called to order by the consul. The scriba then reads the minutes of the previous meeting, and the aedile announces the program for the day. I he fall semester officers of the Latin Clubs were as follows: Second period— Consul: Sybil Premack; Aedile: Hill Gorder; Scriba: Virginia Daulton. The following guided the destiny of the sixth period class: Consul: Jane Bing; Aedile: irginia McClain; Scriba: Nancy Anderson. I he main reason for Latin Club is to study the manner of living of the Ancient Romans, their customs, and tradition. Many interesting stories are told about tin- Roman gods and goddesses, and, if you think ‘‘tall” stories are modern, you should hear some of the myths we hear in Latin Club. However our very fair and capable instructor. Miss Delores Ann ood, says that we shouldn't be so literal about these myths. Many members find a chance to express their individuality when we play Latin games. One very popular game is played by “passing out Latin nouns. Each member draws his version of what the noun means on the blackboard. The results are sometimes quite wierd. When we are older, we shall undoubtedlv forget all our I atin except tempus fugit and amo, amare, but we shall remember strong man Hercules, the soldier Caesar, who gave pep talks, and Medea, whose name we never pronounced correctly and whose hobby was cutting up people, all of whose exploits we translated, more or less.

LIGHTS OUT, MUSIC, CURTAIN By Ruth lilt'lhen I N MUSIC AN IN'DIV II)l AL must start from the beginning. If he plays an instrument. he must start first by learning how to read the notes, second, playing simple pieces, and finally, working up until he can play the most difficult concerto with ease. He may even try a little composing. So it is with the drama class under the direction and help of our instructor, who directs, criticizes, and teaches. W e begin by learning the notes; in other words, learning to read plays. We take short playlets or skits and learn to give the various characters' parts expression and feeling in much the same way that a musician learns to give expression in his music. Then we gradually work up into longer and harder plays, plays which require more action or perhaps a character portrayal. When a musician finds that he can play with a fair amount of skill, he tries a few solos. We do the same by giving readings to test our individual skill, dialect readings, monologues, and dialogues. Then comes the time in a musician’s life when he finds that lie can play difficult passages easily. He enjoys playing harder selections. So it is with our long plays in which we demonstrate the skill we have been acquiring. Finding that we have become dexterous in enacting plays, we try a new phase of the work. This could be compared to the creative writing or composing of the musician. Not being content with one type of music, he tries a great variety. In drama our ability along that line is developed in a makeup unit. We try Chinese, Gypsy, Egyptian, doll, and juvenile types of makeup. This is one of the most interesting phases of the course, because each one is trying out his originality for the first time. We also have a chance to try out our creative ability in our advertizing unit in which we make posters, draw a stage plan and some costume designs, and make a program for a play. As Lnanne Wells points out a certain French city. Margaret Archer. Ann Dreelan. and Lorraine McClain look cn irr.pressed. MES AMIS FRANCAIS By Dick DeVey If, ON ALTERNATE MONDAYS, when strolling through Central you should hear the strains of “Alouette, Gentile Alouette soaring through the halls of third floor, it is none other than our own French Club having its regular meeting. Let's take a look at the proceedings. The distinguished President , Margaret Archer, opens the meeting with a polished, “La seance est ouverte .

Lnanne Wells, the report “giver-outer , comes forward to supervise the reports given hy various members of the class. These reports concern the cities of France and many of the French habits and pastimes (often being very interesting I. After the reports, Im Vice-presidenle, Anne Dreelan, takes over the meeting and we begin the games. One of the favorites is a game in which a representative of ea«h term attempts to illustrate any French noun that is harked to them. The first one finished is the winner. Occasionally there is a slight argument. For instance, the word, “oeuf!”, will be called, which means a common egg in English. Then might ensue a discussion as to whether speckles count extra. Mon dieu! Then comes the finale of the meeting with the singing of French songs led by La Chante, Kay Roberts, for do not the French and the song go together! Having the most difficult and the most important job of all is La Secretaire et Tresouer. She, Lorraine McClain, must write the minutes in French. Ah. oui, la classe de francaise est Ires interessante, je crois. Oh, but yes! r 141 r ' i ■ ' !

OUR FUTURE EINSTEINS By Alvin La Vine New, DIFFERENT THINGS in our lives are seen l the scientist first. He is the inventor, the discoverer, the perfector. The budding scientists with all the chemical apparatus tin the picture) are trying to discover a new way to attach the hose system on the water cooler so that it won’t shower them while engaged in their flights of inventive activities. The chief difficulty, it seems, is in making the water flow out as fast as it comes in. The chemistry unit of the science club is making a study of glues, paints, and dyes, through the means of qualitative analysis, in short the process of comparing several similar objects to one another to find that which is best suited for the particular type being studied. Destructive analysis is the type of experimenting carried on by the radio division of the science club. All of the radio clubbers can tell a plate from a grid (parts of a radio tube). President Howard Sime is aided by adviser. Merton llasse, in planning programs to be presented to the assembled science club. Programs consist of experiments, actual contact with other amateurs by members of the radio division, and speeches by persons well versed in one particular phase of scientific occupation. Doctors are favorites with all members. Other officers of the club are: vice-president. Hill Johnston, and secretary, Cyril Schile. Photography has also taken root on science club soil and flourishes there: its members meet, develop pictures, and discuss focus, apertures, and film in the chemistry supply room. r lliimiiiiiiniR 144 The book and typewriter look aa if theae honor-rollers really were slaves to their work, but that expression on Bob Gerber's face is reallv more indicative of their natures. THOSE WHO GET THE GRADES By Grace McKcague E VERY STUDENT IN CENTRAL aspires to be on the Honor Roll—those students who have A’s, B’s, or C’s—and thereby having the privilege of going to study hall only if they wish. The conception which the I) and F students have of those above them is that of the learned scholar, duly bespectacled, who spends every waking moment with a book in one hand, a pencil in the other and the wheels of the brain forever whirring and every sleeping moment dreaming dreams of teachers, textbooks, grades and figures. This conception is entirely wrong. In reality, the average Honor Roll student does some, not much, homework, has the satisfaction of knowing he has accomplished something, the pleasure of attending study hall as he pleases, and a “darn good time. Those who really deserve the highest honors are the A average students. They have accomplished something which the greater share of the pupils work and dream of doing. They have proved themselves excellent students by earning an A in even-subject which they take. Consistent A honor rollers are Dorothy Glorvick, Winifred Marlink. Eleanor Shanahan, Robert Gerber, Beverly Kerr. Shirley Johnson, Jeanette Higgins and Marjorie Lewis. Some credit and honor, too, should he given to those who “just miss the A Honor Roll. (Jetting three A’s and a R isn't easy either. Some of these are Harlan J)avis. Grace McKcague. Wald Thcil, Yiary Aquin Holes, and Glenn Kelley. X.

CENTRAL’S AMATEUR HOUR By Wald on Tltiel T HE SOFT, MELODIOUS NOTES of an oriental orchestra opened the program of Central’s third annual amateur talent-discovery night, the Eagleian Follies, February 28, 1939. Blended lighting affects, coupled with the high court personnel of an oriental sultan, provided an awe-inspiring background for the appreciative audience which witnessed a well-arranged program that included dramatic, instrumental, and vocal selections. Music from the throbbing crooning of the '‘Singing Pressman to the “Thrills and Trills” of a clarinet trio found assertive voice in the tunes emerging from an old jug. harmonicas, and a twanging guitar, played by the “Corny Four . Drama, ranging from the light “Coquette” to the tragic “Shooting of Dan McCrew”, held the listening car and the seeing eye of a large crowd. The rhythmic measure of dainty dancing slippers resounded from the stage in the auditorium theater as “Klickity Klack and The Swing Sisters heat it out to the tune of modern swing hits. Group vocal numbers, The Harmony Kids and “Five Delicious Flavors”, applied variations to popular songs with a pleasing affect. Swaying and singing to that old favorite, I Must Sec Annie Ionight , contestants appeared on the stage for a grand finale which climaxed the.program. In an effort to discover, cultivate, and direct the talent to be found in Central s student body, the Follies were first organized tlm- -ars ago. Rules have been set down to . ich $1? must conform.
