ONETIME ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. MET CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOLS OEMANO FOR EXPANSION IN 1929 Aberdeen .... The City of Good Schools CENTRAL BUILDING, with three stories of classrooms, laboratories. and study rooms, was the first of the build ngs. re; lacing the old Central high school structure in 1911. BKKDKKN has become widely known as “The city of good schools, and one good reason for this is Central High's utilitarian group of buildings. Central building, with three stories of classrooms, laboratories, and study rooms, was the first of the buildings, built in 1911. Washington, a onetime grade school, met the demand for expansion when the school board cited that Central was overcrowded in 1929. In 1988 the latest addition was made. The school-civic auditorium was built at a cost of $325,000. This latest addition was an answer to Central high school’s problems. It did away with all congestion. Athletic events as well as conventions and public programs arc held in the arena where the seating capacity of ( .000 takes care of all crowds. The theatre, resplendent in its modern design, is always in use as the site for conventions, concerts, and high school assemblies. The music room along with several office rooms is used by the orchestra, band, and vocal groups. Plus an attractive landscape, Central High boasts excellent building facilities.

CENTRAL STU DENTS WITNESS A BLUE AND GOLD NEWS BROADCAST CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ENJOY ASSEMBLIES IN NEW SCHOOL-CIVIC AUDITORIUM THE NEWCOMER S FIRST VIEW OF THE SCHOOL-CIVIC THEATRE Tt IS SAID that all the world is n stage; that we are the actors; and that life is the play. Whether this be true or not, we do know that the theater plays an important part in our present day lives from an educational ami entertainment standpoint. Surpassing all others in this part of the state with regard to beauty, acoustics, and equipment is our own civic theater. Many Centralites recognize the theater as an excellent place to hold assemblies and other school programs; but more than that, it has answered a long felt need for a larger and better community center for promoting new and expanding activities such as the Little Theater and the Golden Pheasant Festival. Centralites, although now accustomed to the new theater ami the advantages it offers, are nevertheless not lacking in pride. They arc well aware of the privileges that are theirs from such a fine building. 10 •r LIBRARY, ART ROOM OFFER STUDY UTOPIAS Jt has been said that the youth who goes to a bright clean school, looks at maps and models, and plays daily on a beautiful sports field can learn to appreciate the surroundings of most any environment. If this is true Mr. Centralian enjoys his surroundings immensely. In the art room, Joe and Betty Centralian have access to an unending line of supplies. Students of Central are also privileged to be the users of a well equipped library-study hall. The nine thousand book library makes the study hall a Utopia for Central students. JOE AND BETTY CENTRALIAN HAVE ACCESS TO AN UNENDING LINE OF SUPPLIES IN THE CENTRAL ART ROOM HOME ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT-—COMMERCIAL HOME EC AND COMMERCIAL OFFER BEST OF EQUIPMENT rJp«« commercial department is a modernistic trio of rooms. They have sound-proof walls, installed when the department was remodeled in 1938. The equipment in these rooms consists of seventy typewriters, a mimeograph and a mimcoscope, drop-head desks, a comptometer, a cal-eidator, and filing equipment. The instructors of commercial subjects are Miss Ethelvn Bailv and Miss Inga Holen. In the home economics department, a cheery, homelike atmosphere is stressed. In this department, new features are selected and added yearly. The name, “homemaking suite” has been adopted by this department. Adviser for the homemakers is Miss Clara I'lemington. CENTRAL GIRLS arc taught the mechanics of good homcmaking in Miss Flemington's home economics classes. SOUND PROOF WALLS WERE INSTALLED IN THE CENTRAL TYPING ROOM WHEN IT WAS REDECORATED IN 1938 12 STUDENTS RECEIVE EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING WHILE WORKING OVERTIME IN THE CENTRAL HIGH PRINT SHOP NXOUXCEMENTS, programs, schedules, lists, all must be printed. This is no problen at Central. Just let the printshop do it. The printshop has been doing it. Besides assuming extra jobs that are always coming: in, the boys regularly take care of the printing of the Blue and Gold and Word Craft. The experience and training that Central’s equipped print shop offers is invaluable to the boys who plan to take up this profession. Equal opportunity is offered in the other shops. With equipment constantly being added, the shops offer the best of instruction in wood and metal work. Looking forward To • • • • 14. Central's Faculty 15 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SOLVES CENTRAL'S PROBLEMS A PROBLEM of importance to us as students at Central must be solved. Word is given the members of the Board of Education. A meeting is held in the superintendent’s of-fice. Behind closed doors the board discusses the problem and formulates a plan of action. The result for us, school goes on uninterrupted. These five Aberdeen business men have added to their responsibilities that of choosing school policies for their city. They arc a real example of public spirit. (Or do they hate to give up their own school days?) In either case, the service they have given has helped make Aberdeen the “city of fine schools” and Central a high school we will all be proud to name as our own, next year and ten years from now. America’s strongest foundation for freedom is her system of education, and to the promoters of that system we owe a debt of gratitude. In achieving the building of our civic auditorium and the new junior high schools the Board has provided for ample educational facilities for future years of growth of our city. To you and me the Board of Education is synonymous with the best primary and secondary education anywhere. Dr. J. 1). Alway is president of the Aberdeen Board of Education. Board members include: E. L. Feddern, C. H. Anderson, M. M. Carpenter, and H. F. Jorgensen. F. E. Wvtteiibach is business manager for Aberdeen schools. M. M. CARPENTER E. L. FEDDERN H. F. JORGENSEN 1C J. D. ALWAY C. H.

In that office stands a desk. Behind that desk sits a man. Around the man is a school under his supervision. The school—Central. The man—Mr. Deimer. e know that heredity is an important factor in determining what we are. We also recognize environment and training as being of prime importance in the making of a person—and this is where the school system enters in. Most young people spend a large part of their time in school, where the other students, the instructors, and the policies and opportunities of the school contribute to their individual development. As our principal, Mr. Deimer, without a doubt, has a word in the saying of what kind of person each of us is. Let us look at each other—at our instructors—at our courses and policies. Let us compare and consider. Then let us say “Thank you, Mr. Deimer.” JJEIMKR THE SPORTSMAN was the happiest man in town when he bagged three geese during the past hunting season. He is also an enthusiast of the Isaack Walton sport, fishing. 17 PLACEMENT HEAD CHARLES WINNER S A responsibility added to his routine duties, Charles Winner supervises the Student Council. Under his direction the Council lias grown considerably throughout the past few years. Possessing both a 11. S. and a M. A. degree, Mr. Winner is in charge of vocational placement in Central. Besides the University of South Dakota, he has attended the University of Minnesota and the University of Southern California. Although his own particular favorite -is golf. Mr. Winner is an enthusiastic supporter of all forms of athletic contests, especially the close ones. His most disliked dislike is noise . . . unorganized. GIRLS' COUNSELOR CHARLOTTE MASON TH O MANY young ladies the prospect of co in i n g d o w n with the flu would be unpleasant. Also there might be a few among the many who would consider missing school because of flu very unfortunate. And further, a bare two or three of these few might possibly be just a little apprehensive about facing the principal during the process of being readmitted to school. However, shy young women at Central need harbor no such apprehensions, for the girls’ Counselor handles all that for her. Charlotte Mason, girls’ Counselor. teaches French and the new Spanish course in addition to performing the duties demanded by the office of Counselor. Besides three universities in our own country, Miss Mason attended the University of Paris, and has both her B. A. ami M.

In the chemistry lab Kennett Melgaard keeps his pupils interested in this timely subject. He also advises the monitor board and photography club. It’s a real task that confronts Gertrude Meyer, for she directs the famed a cappella choir. Any odd jobs to be done? Ask Ben Miller. His field is mechanical drawing but his willingness and handiness with a hammer makes him a good man on stage committees. Cecil Monroe is versatility itself. He coaches tennis and teaches Modern Problems, acts as adviser of the senior class, directs the Aberdeen Relays, and coaches declamation. ROSA A. LAMBERT B. S.. M.A.. U. of Iowa Art FRANK F. MANN B.

He is pictured before leaving on the Huron football trip CENTRAL HIGH CUSTODIANS HEX SOMF, late-sleeping Centralite rushes off to his early morning classes only to discover, too late, that he has left his keys somewhere along the way, how does he manage the problem ? For you who have had a similar sad experience these three straws are offered: A. Bluff your way through your morning classes. You probably won't get by with it, but if worst comes to worst, you can always break down and admit the truth. B. Take your life in your own hands and make a life-or-death scramble home for your keys. You can talk your way out of being late when you get back. C. Find the janitor— and your troubles are over. This line of action is recommended. You say thanks to him for helping you out, smile feebly, then run for your classroom. Once again the janitor has kept things in order. We all like to sec Centrol a neat and attractive school; the grounds, the buildings, both inside and out. The janitor’s job—to keep the buildings pleasant and attractive. Their motto—a place for everything; everything in its place. 25 Muralist Bill Kane Vividly Portrays School Life at Central High in a Well Organized Work MURALIST BILL KANE VIVIDLY PORTRAYS SCHOOL LIFE AT CENTRAL IN A JAMPACKED BUT WELL ORGANIZED WORK ARTIST BILL KANE, creator of the above mural, ii shown working on the 1940 Wordcraft frontispiece, an other of his several drawings.

The student council doesn’t have the power to dismiss school when the mercury hits mean ninety degrees in the shade, but it can and does wield considerable force in promoting school regulations and activities. Composed of representatives from each class and activity, the council is the direct voice of the students. In connection with the student court and monitor hoard, the council is Central’s own application of a government of, by, and for the students. Among the routine duties of the council are two that draw particular attention: supervision of Pageant Day, and the presentation of the Kaglean Follies. These programs, along with the council’s regular duties of passing on school regulations and acting as the governing body of Central, keep meetings and student interest humming. 28 COUNCIL ADVISER WINNER TALKS WITH PAGEANT DAY ADVISER HASSE OFFICERS AND ADVISERS FORM COUNCIL CABINET A( H .11 XIOU and senior home room keeps abreast of council activities through its own representative, while the sophomores are given their voice in school affairs by eight sophs representing their class at large.

Gruenendike's case was a minor misdemeanor—chewing gum. On the next page Gruenendike is pictured in court )PS? WELL, YES, the hall monitors do keep Johnny from playfully dropping a hook on you from the third floor to the first, and Sally from holding a social at the busiest hall intersection. Definitely, though, they are aids to the common welfare, and not a hunch of killjoys. You sophomores— remember last fall ? And juniors and seniors, remember when you first entered Central’s portals as a soph? How did you find your home room, your locker, and your classroom? Who reminded you which stairs to use? Who directed you to the office, to study hall, and to your every other destination? Remember how you sighed with relief when a monitor hustled you to your class a second before the tardy hell ? And even after you began to think you were ettting on, who reminded you to take off your overshoes, to give your gum-craving jaws a rest, and take one step at a time? The monitors! Finally, do not forget the time you politely ignored that monitor’s request. He whipped out his pad, wrote a few words, and you were in possession of a monitor slip. Remember? THE NUCLEUS of the 1941-42 monitor force of Central High School is pictured above. Monitor Captains for the year were. Corwin Bjonerud and Bruce Vik. Besides being monitor captains Bjonerud and Vik automatically were Central fire marshals.

Hall is pictured again in the lower photo making a last minute plea for Grunendikc's conviction Students Take Care Of Central Discipline A I'TKR A monitor slip comes a summons, and the culprit finds himself faced by an efficient body not eager for blood, but to decide what the just punishment shall be. The court, composed entirely of student officers and jury members under supervision of Kennett Mcl-gaard, is completely in the hands of the students. As in any other court, the defendant is given every opportunity to defend himself. Every Thursday the Student Court personnel rises in time to mete out punishment to offenders at the wee hour of 8:00 o’clock. Through actually handling cases, the students learn the functions and duties of the various court offices. Its function of maintaining discipline speaks of its own success. After being sentenced by a court of his own acquaintances, a student seldom has to be tried for a second offense. Looking Forward Tw—• CENTUAUTES 33 SENIOR CLASS Seniors Choose Athletes, Pageant Day Queen and Musician In First Election First Semester President PRESIDENT VIOREL STOIA VIOREL STOOGE STOIA. popular and handsome senior athlete, was elected president of the senior class for the first semester. Stoia won the class presidency by defeating Don Schleunes. Dorothy Hopp. and Phil Gerber in the fall election. Viorel showel his versatility by ranking high in scholastic ratings. Elected as a Marshal for Pageant Day. Stoia also was a member of Student Council. Booster Club. Drama Club, and was a football letterman. J IGHT OF Freedom of Assembly has been exercised by the seniors of Central High School, as they continue meeting en masse to nominate and elect their governing officers from amongst the student body. The seniors have five offices which they must fill to have their duties executed in a proper manner. These offices are, president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and student council representative. 'Flic first semester, these various duties were carried out by three athletes, a Pageant Day Queen, and a musician. Viorel Stoia, prominent in football, dramatics, and scholarship was elected president. Shirley Peterson, the student’s queen, an active Quill and Scroll president and Booster Club president, filled the office of vice-president. Cal Johnson, star football back, scholar, and popular boxer applied his knowledge in the office of secretary. Pierre Dickinson, Chief Pageant Day Marshal, great football guard, and Blue and Gold representative took care of the Seniors’s chips. In the meantime, Audrey Goodrich, dramatist, forensic speaker, and slide trombone player was furthering the Senior aims on the Student Council. PIERRE DICKINSON Treasurer 34 SHIRLEY PETERSON AUDREY GOODRICH Vice-president Council Representative CAL JOHNSON Secretary Arrow Representatives, Cheer Leader and Athlete Serve For Second Semester A r HAT SHOULD BK the duty of a class officer? This question isn’t always in the minds of the students until just before they vote. Then, usually, they weigh the candidates as to character and scholarship, but due to insufficient time, popularity is the deciding factor; and although it's often a correct judge, popularity is not inclusive enough. Senior students should consider the qualities necessary for an office, and then proceed to nominate and elect. The second semester the class was particularly fortunate in their choice. Vernon Hanson, one of the school’s best personalities, and a good leader, proved many times over, was elected president. The job of vice-president, requiring a person of the same calibre as the president, was capably held by Phil Robertson. The position of secretary requires a person who is a competent and efficient worker, and who possesses the powers of organization. Dorothy Hopp held this office. Omar Nicholas, as treasurer, efficiently planned senior dances and aided in the choice of the class gift to the school. To see that these jobs are carried out efficiently. Mr. Monroe, the senior class adviser, adds his understanding criticism. ELECTED SENIOR CLASS president for the second semester.

Dickinson finished his senior year in grand style by winning a national short story award. He was also president of Keystone and treasurer of the Senior Class.

BRAINS. AND BEAUTY. RUTH MARY FORSETH. NORMA CHILDERS. JOAN KING. AND ALLENE AGOR Junior Class Goes In For Pulchritude................ Four Girls and Birrenkott Win At Polls 'T’HE WISE CHOICE of leaders, both in and out of school, grows more and more important to Centralites as the years pass. Electing class officers in school furnishes experience both for the officers as leaders and for the students as followers. The junior class selected Duane Birrenkott, outstanding football and basketball player, as president for the first semester. Popular Norma Childers, member of Pep Club and the Arrow Board, won honors as vice-president, while Allene Agor and Ruth Mary Forseth, both members of the Central High band, were chosen as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Joan King, prominent in music and dramatics, was elected council member at large. A capable and popular force, these officers are experienced leaders, Norma having served as class president and vice-president in her sophomore year. Their duties included the presentation of the junior class play, “June Mad ' and general supervision of junior class activities. 00 cc. DUANE BIRRENKOTT. outstanding varsity football and basketball player during his sophomore and junior years, was elected president of the junior class for the first semester. Students' Choice Norma Childers Wins For Fourth Time at Junior Class Polls Class elections—only « step from electing the leaders who arc to keep America, American. In choosing officers, we look for the same qualities in a candidate whether he is to plan the prom here in Central High, or whether he is to decide the foreign policy of our government in the world at large. In a sense the duties and responsibilities are the same—the one is merely a scale drawing of the other. Planning the junior-senior prom is perhaps the greatest single project for junior class officers of the second semester. Doing the job as completely ami efficiently as they PRESIDENT norma CHILDERS have done it requires much more painstaking planning, discussing, and working out of the plans than most of us appreciate. Deciding upon an orchestra, preparing the decorations, and the planning of a full program are only a few of the officers’ duties in connection with the prom. Norma Childers was elected president of the junior class for the spring semester, after having served the first semester as vice-president. Norma also served as president and as vice-president of her class in her sophomore year. How’s that for a record in leadership.' Hob Fagg, popular drug-store cowboy and soda-fixer deluxe, was chosen vice-president for the spring semester, while Margaret Coyne was the juniors’ choice as secretary, and June Willson as treasurer. Charlotte Mason acted as class adviser, met with the officers, assisted ami directed them in carrying out their duties.

Bruce Vik, Kathleen McKenna, Shirley Kinyon, Harold Garwood, and Paul Stillwell Junior Class Presents Comical June Mad JHT ILARITV IN three acts was “June Mad,” this season’s Junior Play. Maybe not a laugh a minute, but certainly a minute a laugh. When a young man of the world suddenly turns tip to stay in an ordinary household, there’s sure to be trouble— and an outspoken housemaid plus a very ordinary gardener are sure to complicate matters, although they are a cause for merriment from the audience’s viewpoint. ( 1) Romance, comedy, drama, and the desperate teen-age problems of growing up made “June Mad” especially suited for high school production. (2) Under the direction of Miss Helen Courtney, the junior players spent the weeks preceding the play in rehearsing, planning, costuming, staging, and promoting ticket sales. (11) To entertain is not the only purpose of the play. Producing the play offers experience in acting and staging besides bringing students in direct contact with such problems as costuming, lighting, interpretation, and makeup.

Juniors Lose 3 Games in Mediocre Season ThK ABERDEEN JUNIORS under the tutelage of Mylo Jackson, enjoyed the same kind of a season as their under-classmen, the Sophomores, as they ended their season with three defeats and one tie, that being with the Sophs in their yearly night classic at the Simmons gridiron. The Juniors were slightly handicapped by the lack of turnouts at the first stages of the season, at one time having only nineteen men out for football. In their first start, the Jacksonmen suffered a setback at the hands of the strong Britton Braves, 33-0, in a game at the Braves’ home grounds. Running in a strong string of reserves at will, the Britton boys wore down the smaller but game Junior squad to cross the goal line four times in the last half. Wolf. Christenson, and Shevlin in the back-field looked good for the Juniors, while Braun stein played heads-up ball at his guard-post. Having victorv nearly in their grasp and then losing it at the last moment, the Juniors fell before the Eliendale Cardinals, 9-6, as Kllendale pushed across the winning touchdown with two minutes of game time remaining. Elmer Wolf, speedy Junior halfback, received a bad pass from center in the first quarter and was tackled behind his goal line for a safety, giving Eliendale a 2-0 lead. Bob Shevlin, crushing fullback, led a second quarter drive that netted the Juniors a touchdown and a 6-2 lead which they protected until the Eliendale winning tally. In their third engagement the Juniors gained a moral victory over the Sophomores but had to be content with a 18-13 tie in their game at Simmons Field. The Sophomores led 13-0 at halftime, but the sparkling running of Cleo Christenson, Bob Shevlin, and Elmer Wolf in the second half gave the Juniors their tie. Christenson raced around left end 61 yards for the first touchdown, while Wolf garnered the second tally on a 12 yard jaunt around right end in the final quarter. Jackson’s boys closed their season suffering their third setback at the hands of the rough and tough Bowdlc Cossacks. Bowdle pushed over two touchdowns in the first half to cinch the decision, while the Juniors rolled over a counter in the closing minutes making the final score 14-6. 77 Shown above are the Aberdeen Sophomores.

Sophs Salvage a Junior Tie in Luckless Year j HE ABERDEEN SOPHOMORES, coached by Russa Osborne, displayed a fighting spirit equal to that of previous years, but still suffered one of the worst seasons they have had in many years as they lost three games and tied one, the one tie coining as a result of a thrilling encounter with the Juniors in a night game at Simmons field. In their first engagement, the Eaglets were badly outclassed in size and experience and fell easy prey to the Groton Tigers by a score of 25-( . Groton ran a 25-0 count on the bearers of the Blue and Gold before Archie Heintzman heaved a thirty yard pass to Ray Wynn in the end zone for their only marker. Playing all-around good football, but suffering another defeat, the Sophs fell before the highly-touted Cossacks from Bowdle in their second clash of the season. The Eaglets drove down the field time after time only to be halted short of the goal. Late in the third quarter, Bowdle pushed over a touchdown, and they went on to protect that lead and pull out a close (5-0 decision. Rising to new heights in the first half, but faltering badly in the last half, the Sophs managed to tie the fighting Juniors, 13-13, in the annual night intra-school game at Simmons field. Archie Heintzman was the big gun for the Sophs in the first half as he ripped off large gains time after time. Heintzman’s passes also figured in the 13-0 lead his squad enjoyed at half-time. Arlo Olson's running also played a big part in this lead. In the second half, Osborne’s boys fell before two Junior touchdowns to have their lead annihilated with the game ending in a tie. The Eaglets closed their season at Britton, falling before the Braves, 14-0. The Sophs only threatened once, that resulting from a forty yard pass from Heintzman to Bill Persson. end. Persson was dragged down on the twelve yard line from behind and the Sophs failed to push a touchdown over from there. Britton scored both touchdowns in the second quarter. 78 The 1941-42 Aberdeen basketball Eagles: Pictured from left to right arc Manager Duane Riedl.

The Holgatemen started out their season with a five game winning streak, winning games over Rapid City, Pierre. Bismarck, Watertown and Mitchell. A six game losing streak nearly turned the Eagle year into disaster as they lost successive games to Sioux Falls, Madison, Yankton, Watertown and Huron. Gaining their old stride the Eagles then went on another five game winning rampage as they bowled easily over Brookings, Mitchell. Yankton, Flandreau and Huron. The Centralites gave the Sioux Falls Warriors a share of the Eastern South Dakota Conference by trouncing Huron in their last conference game, H to 26. The Eagles won a berth in the state tournament by gaining easy victories over Water-town and Flandreau. Going into the state tourney as the team to beat, the Aberdeen boys ran into stiff competition against Lead and dropped their first round game, 36 to 35.

The Juniors served earlv notice to % their opponents by winning easily over their first three basketball foes, KUendale, Hosmer, and Andover. However, Britton broke the Junior winning streak with an overwhelming It to 21 victory. From here on the Jacksonmen were ncar-Iv unbeatable, losing only one of their last ten games. While losing only to a strong Andover quint by the margin of 28 to 22, they were piling up victories over Groton, Brentford, Britton, KUendale, Hosmer, Bristol, and their interschool rivals, the Sophomores.

Hughes, and Stoia get a big thrill out of being the first team to defeat Sioux Falls since 1929. TTHEY COULDN’T keep it up forever! It had to come! It did come! All this above refers to the state track title which the Sioux Falls Warriors have held since 1929. Repeating nearly as often in second place as the Warriors had in the championship role, the Eagles eked out a narrow victory over their great Sioux Falls opponents in the final event of the state meet. Coach Kathman’s boys fought gamely all the way through the meet, but for the title they needed a victory in the final event, the mile relay. The first three runners in the mile relay, Lyle Osterman, Jim Sich, and Clinton Quinn, held their own for the first three laps and had a short lead for I.es Hughes, veteran anchor man. Hughes grabbed the baton and raced ahead for the first 850 yards, but rounding the last turn I.es faltered for a moment, fell back into the pack, and then turned on a finishing kick to forge ahead, the winner of the race and the coveted state track title. Sportswriters throughout the state named this event as the most thrilling sports incident of the year. Rat Havman, giant Eagle discus thrower, outclassed all competition and broke the existing state discus record with a mighty heave of 1H feet and 11 inches. SHOWING ALL-AROUND POWER and balance in all departments, the Aberdeen Golden Eagles track team ran up a total of 86V2 points to swamp their rivals in the regional meet a week before they captured the state title in a close battle with Sioux Falls. Eddie Carlsen led his mates to victory as he captured first in the pole vault, and the high and low hurdles. Shown in the picture above are two Eagle performers. Richie Olson, second from left, and Carlsen. third from left. Carlsen is not leading at the time, but he went on to win the race. Eagles End Long Reign Of Sioux Falls Warriors at THE 1941 EAGLE track team coached by Let Rathman and Roy Davidson was the first team to defeat Sioux Falls since 1929 TPhE GOLDEN EAGLES finally broke the long reign of the Sioux Falls Warriors as kingpin of the state track throne. On a memorable day in May. 1941, the Warriors were driven from the realm l� v a fighting band of Golden Kagles from Aberdeen under the tutorship of coaches Leslie Ratlnnan and Roy Davidson. Coach Rathman was a star athlete at Jamestown College. Jamestown, North Dakota, where he was a three sport athlete. Jamestown had some of the finest athletic teams in the Northwest in those days with Rathman and Harley Robertson of Northern State Teachers College teaming to help win championships for the bearers of the Black and Orange. Under Rathman the Kagles have always finished high in the state track meet, but it wasn’t until 1941 that they finally turned the championship triek against Sioux Falls. Roy “Davy Davidson, coach of Central aspirants in the field events, has turned out many fine boys, including Pat I layman who broke the state discus record by ten feet with a toss of 141 feet, 11 inches. Dick Watson, an Eagle great of two years ago, was also one of Davy’s proteges. “Davy,” himself, was a letter winner nine times at Northern Normal a decade ago. Another of Central High’s unforgettable track greats rising to stardom during the coaching reign of Mr. Rathman and Mr. Davidson is Eddie Carlson. Eddie, a pole vaulter and hurdler, was voted by state sports writers as South Dakota’s most outstanding high school athlete for 1940. ELMER WOLF, sophomore sprint sensation, is shown starting from the blocks during the morning preliminaries of the regional meet. He was a mainstay of the Eagles throughout the season. However. Elmer gained pre-high school fame by running the 100 yard dash in 10.7 seconds while still in Roosevelt junior high school. The Eagles amassed eighty-six points to cop the regional meet and then went on to win a stirring nip-and-tuck state track title. A week after the state meet, the Eagles ran rough-shod over the Eastern Conference track sguads to cop the conference honors. 89 Seven Lettermen Return For 1942 Track Wars THE ABERDEEN Golden Engle track team, defending state champions, have a fairly bright outlook for the 1942 season with seven returning letter-men. Coach Rathman’s boys edged out Sioux Falls to cop the 1941 title. The returning lettermen pictured below, are: Clinton Quinn, Lester Hughes, Cal Johnson, Elmer Wolf. Bob Guilin, Bob Ruck-man, and AI Roehr. Tom Draper was team manager. The Eagles annexed the Eastern South Dakota conference crown a week later.

Kelly outshot Cooley one stroke with a fine 178, but both of the boys shot equally fine golf on the last nine to breeze through to a one stroke victory. Both of these stick waggers have shown up brilliantly around Aberdeen golf circles, with Kelly being runner-up in the annual Country Club Caddy tournament, and Cooley showing a good steady brand of golf in capturing the first flight of the men’s Country Club tournament. Both Kelly and Cooley graduate from the ranks this year, but Phil Lowenstein, junior, will he back to carry on where these two fine golfers left off, and he should be a real star. 92 PICTURED ABOVE is Cecil Monroe.

Every year has seen a bigger and better, more elaborate Pageant Day at Central, and this year was no exception. Preceded by a rip-roaring pep-fest in the auditorium arena and a snake dance through Aberdeen’s downtown business district on Pageant Eve, the day was begun with a colorful coronation ceremony in the theater, carried out in South American style. The afternoon’s festivities included the parade, which followed the theme introduced in the coronation ceremony, ami an afternoon football game. The evening's entertainment, a night game ami a homecoming dance, brought an end to the day’s activities. This year’s theme followed the United States’ friendly relations with both North and South American neighbors. Under the supervision of the Student Council, the theme was carried out with enthusiasm by the student body. Each class portrayed a separate portion of the Western Hemisphere, the sophomores depicting North America, the juniors. Central America, and the seniors, South America. 'The two continents offered ample subject matter for a great variety of gay and colorful costumes, all contributing to make it another successful Pageant Day. 07 FOOTBALL PARADE Shirley Peterson - - - Pageant Queen SHIRLEY.

This year the pep club and the high school band presented a giant program in the auditorium arena, featuring the “Strawberry Blonde,” as the theme song. The first part of the program consisted of “Gav Ninety” skits and songs, in which each group in the pep club humorously portrayed an old song accompanied by the band. Centralites presenting specialty numbers included: Betty Marvick, Zona Schreiber, Doris Jennings, Shirley Bowers, Shirley Kinyon. La Vonne Streifel, Betty Merrick, June Willson, Norma Childers, Enid Erickson, Tommy Draper, Bill Stein -licht, Lars Peterson, Bob Morton, Doris Carey, Dorothy Nantss, Marcella Mewing, Wanda Noltner, Shirley Poe, Jayne Siebrecht, Margie Pavne and Juanita Tracy. A few of the principles figuring in the gigantic pep-fest are pictured at the right. (1) Central’s student body wound in and out of Aberdeen’s main business district in the annual snake dance. (2) Central high’s national champion symphonic band was used to great advantage in presenting musical take-offs for the pep meeting. (8) Jack Huss, Central comedy ace, served as a genial and humorous mastcr-of-cere-monies. (1) The hit of the show. Elizabeth Cacavas, added most laughs in her number entitled, “Fresh From the Country.” (5) Golden Eagle followers gathered in front of the old postoffice to join the band and pep club for final songs and yells before Aberdeen’s twenty-third Pageant Day. 103 Central Parades Pan-American J3 AGE ANT AFTERNOON—and the parade! After a week of fervent hustling and bustling, planning, sign making, and decorating, everything was finally made ready, and at the appointed time the signal was given and the parade was in motion. Marching the length of Main Street from Railroad Avenue to Sixth Avenue, the parade proved to be a pleasing spectacle, from the police escort to the very end, for the many hundreds of onlookers. Colorful costumes from northern-most Alaska to the southern tip of Chile, gaily decorated floats, countless attractive posters and signs, the lively spirit of the participants—all these helped make the parade an event of fun and frolic for both participants and spectators. (1) We see that even the horse entered into the parade spirit and gave a picture of the old Northwest. (2) Miss Conner’s home room showed Central’s appreciation of American freedom of speech and press. (.'{) Movies, a radio for every family, and an abundance of newspapers all make Americans conscious of national and world events. (4) A comic portrayal of life in prison furnished part of the fun. (5) The Pep Club adds another bright spot to the parade. (( ) Aberdeen turns out to cast an eye on the merrymaking. 104 Sadie Hawkins an' Li'l Abner Dance Wows Centralites M ARCELLA MEWING and Guy Chamber-lain, pictured above, were selected by judges as the most typical Sadie Hawkins and I il Abner couple. Pictured before the microphone at the right is Booster Club’s Les Rath-man. Shown in the two pictures directly below are a portion of Central’s dancin'? Dogpatch-ers. In the bottom photo Centralites frolic after the dance. The circular cut at the right presents an example of what happens on Central’s Sadie Hawkins Day. Jn THE TOWN of Dogpatch, in the state of Kentucky, there was issued long ago a proclamation that shook the boots of every single man for miles around. Hekzcbiah Hawkins, revered mayor of this fair community, set aside a certain day as Sadie Hawkins Day in order to get his homely daughter, Sadie, oft’ his hands. On that day, dreaded by all. a foot-race was held in which Sadie chased the unmarried men until she caught one. When she did, the law stated that they were to be married. The other fair women of Dog-patch decided it was such a good idea that Sadie Hawkins Day was made an annual aft’air. MARCELLA AND DON It was not long after this news broke into the nation’s headlines that the girls of Central held their own Sadie Hawkins Day. The fateful day was set for December 12. After an assembly advertising the big dance, girls got in gear, and the boys on their guard as rushed dates were made for the costume dance in the arena that night. As proof that Central’s girls have “oomph, pep and lire, the game and dance were attended by a large crowd of “Dogpatchers.” 10 CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL'S repre«ntativej to the second session of South Dakota s Boys State are pictured above discussing the citizenship training course sponsored by The American Legion with Dr. Harry R.

Mayor of New York City, and KABR radio commentator. 100 I | NCK AGAIN Central High School sent represent fives to the South Dakota Hoys State which was I.eld at the Northern State Teachers College in Aberdeen. Aberdeen’s number of members to the second annual Hoys State was increased to fifteen. The boys pictured above made an outstanding record for Central by annexing many of the highest offices the model government has to offer. Don Hall carried off top honors by being picked the Outstanding Citizen and elected Lieutenant Governor by the boys en masse. Vernon Hanson was chosen the Outstanding Journalist, Jack Cooley was elected Secretary of State, Pierre Dickinson was elected United States Senator, Phil Gerber was designated Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Dewain Long and Hrice Mantel received high state offices. Hoys State was organized to teach the future leaders of our state how to act in a sensible and just manner in politics and civic affairs. The various leaders of Hoys State, Dr. Harry Darling, 19U Director, Charles J. Dalthorj), Harry Mundt. and Ivan Huntsinger, realized that an ordinary organization of this kind would be bore-some and fall through, so to speak, if athletics, music, and good meals were not added, so they planned the best recreational program in the country for the boys bv having a comprehensive sports set-up. They provided the best grub the boys have ever tasted, and thus the Hoys State with its crack men directors, was a complete program. Just ask any representative. Fifteen CENTRAL HIGH boys, citizens of the second encampment of South Dakota’s Boys State will not soon forget the many enjoyable experiences they encountered at this “make-believe forty-ninth state. In the top picture, directly above, Lewis Barnett, Sioux Falls, and A berdeen's Phil Gerber observe the numerous cities that sent delegates to the second Boys State.

DON HALL AND SECRETARY STACY MEYERS LL THIS foolishness about Friday the 18th being a day of evil doings and bad luck,” says the Student Council, “is the bunk.” To prove it, the council chose the eve of Friday, February 13th, as the date for the Eaglean Follies; staged one of the most successful amateur nights in Central’s history before an audience of more than a thousand well satisfied spectators. Friday the 18th holds no fears for the council! Packed House Watches 1942 Eaglean Follies IX THIS DAY when the theater plays an important pjirt in the making o? our young lives, it is rare indeed to find one among us who doesn’t, way down deep, feel that lie, too, has a true talent, even though it hasn’t yet been brought before the eye of an admiring public. It is for him the Eaglean Follies, Central's amateur night, was originated and is carried out each year under the direction of the Student Council. This year the council disregarded the fact that the Follies came on Friday the 13th, and brought out ;i patriotic theme. The stiige was set as a reception room adjoining Uncle Sam’s office; the acts were presented in ji novel fashion. Each act was presumably a “try out to be included in one of the traveling troupes that entertain the boys in camp. Winners, of course, were the acts considered by Uncle Sam to be the best entertainment for his hoys. As Master of Ceremonies, Don H;dl did an admirable job, and Stacy Meyers did nobly as his assistant. EACH YEAR the Eaglean Follies adds a little to the school treasury. Rut another and greater purpose of the Follies is to add to the students’ treasury of memories —to their vault of experience from which they will draw throughout the coming years. Singing, playing, dancing, impersonations, play acting—all are part of the Follies.

The new Simmons athletic stadium is pictured from the air shortly before the 120 yard high hurdles started the program of the 1941 track classic rolling. This annual event was started in 1933. ami with fine hacking by Aberdeen businessmen, and under the management of Cv Holgate, Central athletic director, it has grown into one of South Dakota's top athletic highlights. Forty-eight high schools and colleges entered in 1941, and because of the rapidity with which the Aberdeen Relays has grown in past years, the entry list is expected to be much higher in 1912. Simmons Field, reconstructed in 1938. is considered one of the most modern athletic plants in the Northwest. Boasting the most outstanding gridiron in South Dakota, a top flight track, a modern field house, and a stadium with a seating capacity of more than 4,000, the Simmons athletic layout is fully capable of taking care of any athletic event in the state. CY HOLGATE. founder of the Relays, announced results of the relay events FAMILIAR FACES on the judge's stand include, R. R. Deimcr and C. J.

Everyone is rushing to grab a quick lunch before trekking out to Simmons Field. hat do you suppose is going on? “It can’t be the Aberdeen Relays, you say, “because the sun is shining and it isn't raining. Nope, it can’t be the Relays. For many successive years the weatherman proclaimed that the Aberdeen Relays should be a day of rain. No matter how dry the year, the day for the Relays was to be emphatically marked “rain plus more rain. However, the Relays of 1941 was the exception. The day, April 25, dawned with a clear sky. 'The first big event of the day took place in the school-civic theater. Three Central girls, Jayne Siebrecht, Shirley Peterson, and Dorothy Hopp were crowned with gold watches as Queens of the 1941 Aberdeen Relays. The girls won the honor to reign over the day’s events by selling the most Relay tickets. Two o’clock in the afternoon of April 25 found two important things going on in Aberdeen. One was that thousands of persons were crowding their way into Simmons Stadium and the other—the sun was still shining. Pictured at the right arc several interesting incidents of the Relays. (1) Shirley, Jayne and Dorothy await trophy winners. (2) Clinton Quinn, Central distance runner, anchors the Eagles to a victory in the sprint medley event. (3) “Booge” Nicholas and his Monroe grade school shuttle race champions. (4) Central’s sprint medley team composed of Lyle Ostcrman, Elmer Wolf, Clinton Quinn, and I.es Hughes, gathers its trophies.

The National Champions have made a record that is envied all over the country, for this year has seen the band march, play symphonies, and in general, accompany almost every school and civic activity in such a manner that they are being recognized as a part of Aberdeen’s regular routine. This year Mr. Schwuchow formed a band council, the first the Aberdeen Rand has ever had. The council is composed of the first-chair players from the band, and the officers of the council arc elected from the band at large. It is with pride that the band’s Music Contest record be reiterated here. The band, having won a division-one at St. Paul, last year, didn’t need to enter the State Contest this year, as a whole, but the National Champions won ten division-one ratings out of seventeen solo and small ensemble events to make the best record at the State Contest.

Under the capable direction of Miss Gertrude Meyer, the A Cappella Choir has preformed for appreciative audiences thru-out the school year. Among this year’s program highlights were the Christmas program and the annual spring concert. The Choir took an outstanding role in the National Music Contest which was held in Aberdeen in May. The A Cappella Choir received special recognition in both the state and national contests. Organizing the many activities of the A Cappella Choir is the duty of its officers: President, Marilyn Tostenrud; Vice-President, Stanley Klvve; Secretary, George Lindboc. An efficient new system has been used this year in which two chosen members of each section of the choir act as section leaders. These leaders take roll call, and confer with Miss Mever on various ideas for improvement in the choir.

At impressive initiation ceremonies held in the school-civice theatre twice yearly, the new members solemnly take a vow to uphold the ideals of Keystone. In the spring initiation. both outstanding juniors and seniors are admitted to the honor society, while in the mid-winter initiation, only prominent seniors are allowed to enter. This ceremonious procedure of candle-lighting and pledge-taking thrills all those taking part, those who gain the honor of becoming a member, and the remaining students who promise themselves to try even harder for this distinction. The four requirements of Keystone, scholarship, service, leadership, and character, by which selections are made by the faculty, are symbolized by colored candles. The blue candle signifies scholarship, the yellow signifies service, the green signifies character, and the red signifies leadership.

Word Craft, Central’s literary magazine, is already highly acclaimed by our own city and is recognized both throughout the state and nationally. Answering a need felt in many schools for some means of keeping a record of literary progress, Word Craft offers a chance for Centralites with creative ability to see their work in print. The poems, stories, humorous savings, and bits of chatter in Word Craft are selected from the daily written assignments in creative writing that are handed in to tin; various English teachers, and represent a cross section of the students’ more imaginative side. The magazine has met with such general and wholehearted approval that it has been necessary to print it in greater numbers each year. L’nder supervision of Beryl DeHaven, Word Craft has consistently been judged as being first among the literary publications of its kind, it was awarded first place among magazines submitted from three neighboring states.

Just Ask The Usher Board AS CKNTRALITKS might find it hard to believe, but actually it isn't hard at all to get lost in the new civic auditorium. In fact, it happens quite often to children and people who are unfamiliar with the construction of the buildings, but they don't stay lost long—an usher can take care of that. “How can I get to a telephone?” “Where can I find a fountain ?” “Where can I get a good seat?” ... The usher must answer these and a battery of other questions quickly and clearly many times over during an evening. Helping people to seats, directing, cautioning, advising—all must be done with a smile.
