Fred Claud on lit ttO'W 1950 VOLUME 31 Edited and published by the Arrow Board CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Aberdeen, South Dakota Forward The purpose of all annuals is to record school activities for the student body—for you. This year we have tried to intensify this thought of reflecting each of Johnny's and Mary's memories associated with Aberdeen Central High by making the theme of this hook, YOU. You're in mind in the title, Our Arrow ; there's a picture portraying you on each division page; each word is written by you; the copy is you, describing events, expressing ideas; and the pictures are snaps of you and your friends. We hope it doesn’t take too much reading between lines for you to feel that this is your book—to be treasured forever. Table of Contents TRADITIONS WE TREASURE Pageant Day-Prom Kaglcan Follies WATCHDOGS WATCHING US Administration and Faculty Student Government Janitors and School Nurse DRAWN AT ITS BEST Boy's Sports Varsity and Intramural Girl’s Sports OUR FRIENDS, FIFTIES AND FOLLOWERS Seniors Representative Seniors Class Officers WE'RE CLUB CRAZY Music Publications llonoraries Dramatics and Forensics Dedication Dedicating yearbooks to principals may seem trite and unimaginative to some, but we, the students of Central, feel that if principals measure up, as individuals, to the personal qualities exemplified by Cy, then it is a custom worthy of continuance. Cy, as former coach and present administrator is concerned not only with the academic advance of the school but also with the welfare of the student body. Cy’s enthusiastic interest in student affairs lessens the “sent to the office'' terror fable because Cy respects each of us as individuals, knows each student by name, remembers and inquires about activities in which we participate and kindly reprimands when the occasion demands, yet readily forgets a person’s shortcomings in favor of his achievements. Therefore, we not only dedicate “Our Arrow” to Mr. Holgate, principal, but in a greater measure to Cy, our friend. it ACGJUA HOMECOMING 1949 Pageanl Day! . . . two words that recall a host of memories. The potence of these words as compared with photos though, is faint according to the old saying, that “one picture is worth a thousand words. So, to complete our word description, assembled here are five pages of Pageant Day pictures to help us remember homecoming 1949. On the eve of Pageant Day . . . remember arriving early for the annual pep rally . . . cheering because the kids you voted for were elected as new pep club members . . . feeling the suspense of a tie necessitating another vote to pick the other junior cheer-leader . . . laughing at the initiation stunts, yet feeling sorry for the new members . . . enjoying the skit in which victory, impersonated by Jack Fred, was given a ride . . . cheering . . . yelling . . . dashing out of the arena and breaking into the snake line . . . gasping for breath as the snake dance wound through Main street . . . gathering a reserve of pep when we stopped at the post office for songs and yells . . . returning to the school grounds for a huge bon-firc rally . . . huskily cheering as a flaming fire, against a hack drop of dark blue skies, climaxed the evening. Pageanl Day . . . hurrying about the school early in the morning to complete our homeroom float which conformed to the theme, “States of the Union . . . finishing work with chicken fence wire, newspapers, paste and crepe paper in time for the coronation assembly . . . applauding as Marlene Ribnick and Leroy Nikolas were crowned queen and marshall by last year's royalty, Joan Strader and Bob Frieh . . . waving to friends, who were watching the floats parade toward Simmons field . . . deserting the Eaglets game against Huron (which we won 28-0) as soon as it was announced that Miss Baker’s homeroom float, Pennsylvania received first prize, Mr. Hammers’ homeroom with the state of Georgia second, and Mr. Yarbrough’s sophomore homeroom’s interpretation of Massachusetts, third . . . disappointedly watching the Eagles being defeated by Watertown in the evening game . . . and ending the gala day at the annual Pageant Day dance. b Hvpni3-nvH An abrupt snowstorm didn't subdue the high spirits, and the excitement of the prom as many couples attended dinner before the big event, and then at the prom proper, danced to the music of Kay Palmer until mid-night. The morning following the prom, dates attended breakfasts and later, picnics, which were practically snowed out. However, instead of wading in the lake water, snowball fights were waged and everyone had just as much fun.

Jim Stout and I)r. E. A. Rudolph. The members of this board, elected by the city, met the first Tuesday of every month. Their main duty being to decide money appropriations to be given for school uses. The student body wishes to reveal their gratitud' to these members who have assisted in making the 1949-1950 school year cycle so outstanding. In The Office The sincere thanks of the students and faculty of Central go to Mary Ellen Morrow, the office secretary, who did a wonderful job in her first year at this position. As students of Central High we owe much to “Cy,” school principal, for his kindness and fairness in his administration . . . for his readiness to assist us when we are faced with problems . . . for his granting high school students freedom in governing the student body . . . and for his efforts to better our school through maximum services in class work and extra-curricular activities. Cy is always interested in any activity in which the students participate. Even with his heaviest duties he has given time and attention to each of us, and because of his interests in students and his eagerness for improvement, our educational system has progressed. Miss Loretta Mundt, as both viceprincipal and girls counselor, has a big job at Central which she tackles with the friendly vitality expressed in the accompanying photo of her. Always on the job, acting as an advisor, inspiration and friend, Miss Mundt fills her position with experience and enthusiasm— giving every student a treasured memory of his high school career. She has done fine work as vice-principal and has helped to make the school year a social success for us. WE, THE PEOPLE You are looking in on a typical student council meeting with president Ben Phillips presiding. Other officers assisting Ben are vice-president Herb Cochrane, and secretary Marcia Dubel. The general duties of the student council are organizing of school affairs, appointing of monitors, and the making of regulations. Something new this year that the council pushed was the staging of the Kaglean Follies two nights, which proved very successful. This is all accomplished under the capable advisorship of Merton Hasse. The student court is the judicial department of Central. Laws, rules, and regulations made by the student council, the monitor board, etc. arc enforced by this body. The judges are Jim Hoeven, Jerry Eck-rich. and Darrell Brekke, prominent members of the student council and the monitor board. Meeting once or twice during a six weeks period, these members are taking care of your cases in the democratic manner for which Central is noted. The advisor is Mr. Hasse.

EAGLE MENTORS Washabaugh and Jackson, who guided the ’49 flock. Hoeven Hansen Dell Back Back Back Looking Back On The '49 Season Early in September our mythical friend, John, took to the gridiron to work out with Coach Jackson's Eagles. Mary was a loyal rooter who braved the cold evenings at Simmon’s Field to attend all the home games. She followed the team to Huron and Yankton to cheer for the Eagles on opponent’s ground. With only one returning veteran, Coaches Mylo Jackson and Perk Washabaugh had the enormous task of rebuilding an inexperienced squad toward a winning status. The Eagles compiled a record of three wins and six defeats during the regular season; with an E.S.I). Conference standing of three wins and the same number of losses. The Eagles grid scoring machine tallied a total of 92 points on 14 touchdowns, w ith eight points coming after the TI)s. The opening of the 1949 season saw the Central gridsters journey to Sioux City, Iowa and drop a 21 14 thriller to the Little Maroons of Sioux City Central. Nikolas scored the Eagles first touchdown on a pass play in the second quarter and the Eagles trailed 21 7 at the half time intermission. Aberdeen tallied seven more points late in the third quarter as they put a stop to the Maroons offensive plays. A fumble on the two yard stripe cost the Eagles a possible tie and the Iowans emerged victorious.

Defensively the Eagles turned in a promising performance against a much bigger and more experienced eleven. Rembe and Freddie led the Raiders attack, while Hansen, Dell, and Nikolas stood out for Aberdeen’s losing cause. Central’s hope for a successful ending to a colorful and traditional Pageant and Homecoming Day were blotted out by the visiting Watertown Arrows as they outscored the Eagles 14-6. Rig Don Vogt, who was chosen on the All American High School team, led the Arrow attack. Hansen scored Aberdeen's only touchdown while Nikolas and Tarver were outstanding. Coach Jackson took his charges to Rapid City for another non-conference tilt. The visiting flock received their fourth loss of the campaign in as many starts. Again superior power and experience subdued the Eagles’ hopes for a grid victory. Trailing throughout most of the game, the flock’s rally was stopped short and the final outcome was 27-14 in favor of the Cobblers. Central's grid aggregation dropped their second FIS.I), battle at Mitchell by a 12-6 count. The host team drew first blood but the Eagles tied it up at 6-6 at the half. The Kernels were good for six points in the third quarter which proved to be the winning margin. Hansen again led the Golden Bird attack, but the highlight of the evening was a last stanza, 80 yard touchdown sprint by Nikolas which was nullified by an offside penalty. (Continued on page 36) Nikolas Back Outlaw- Back Kraft Back Dresselhuys End Sabatka End I’ierce End I he Eagles came up with their first win of the season by defeating their old rivals, the Sioux Falls Warriors, 13-0 before a Dad's Day crowd at Simmons Field. The first half ended in a scoreless tie as defensive play on the part of both teams was outstanding. All the Hub backs turned in stellar performances with Hansen and Dell scoring the touchdowns. I he Brookings Bobcats were the Eagles second conference victims as the Jacksonmen continued in the win column by downing the visitors 6-2. Aberdeen's score came in the second quarter when Hansen climaxed an 84 yard march by plunging over from the three yard stripe. The Bobcats garnered a freak safety in the final period as a strong Aberdeen line kept the visitors from entering into paydirt territory. (Continued on page 37) Season's Summary Eagles Opponents 14 .

EAGLES (continued) With two straight conference wins under their belt, Central’s Golden Eagles journeyed to Huron where they tamed the Tigers 26-6 for the most impressive victory of the year. Aberdeen's offensive unit struck hard and fast for 20 points in the first half. The Eagle forward wall made many gaping holes in the Tiger line to enable the Hub backs to gain continuously. Welter galloped 63 yards for Huron’s lone score. Yankton defeated Central's gridsters 20-7 on the last day of the season to take the 1949 E.S.D. Conference championship. The visiting Eagles scored in the third quarter after a scoreless first half. Nikolas scampered 53 yards to set up the first six points of the contest. Hansen added the extra point. Aberdeen led 7-6 at the third period stop but with Andrews, Pieper, and Kabeisman leading the fourth quarter attack the Bucks scored 14 points to win the game. Three members of the Eagle squad who saw a lot of action but who were out because of injuries when individual pictures were taken are Royster, Olson, and Dunker. Student managers.

EAGLETS 1949 Under the watchful guidance of Coaches Emmett Lenihan and Bill Ochs, the Little Eagles had a successful 1949 football season, winning five, losing one and playing one game which ended in a deadlock. A powerful forward wall and an excellent offensive unit were responsible for the Eaglet success. This unit piled up 130 points while the defense held their opponents to only 32 points. Watertown Little Arrows were the victims at Aberdeen's opener as they fell before a powerful Eaglet squad by a 20-7 score. In their second game the Eaglets added to the Pageant Day festivities by downing the Huron Cubs 26-0. Journeying to Mitchell the Eaglets copped their third win of the campaign by walloping the Little Kernels eleven 20-0. Out to avenge the earlier defeat the Watertown ‘B’ team battled the Eaglets on even terms as the game ended in a 12-12 tie. The Leola Pirates handed the Eaglets their only setback of the season by stopping the Lenihan crew 6-0. After their tie and defeat the Eaglets climbed back into the win column as they conquered the Huron ‘B’s, 34-0. A successful season was brought to a close at Eureka where the Eaglets dumped the Trojans 18-7. Season Summary Eaglets Opponents 20 Watertown “B” .... 7 26 Huron “B 0 20 Mitchell “B” .... 0 12 .

Basketball 1950 A situation familiar to the one which faced Coach Mylo Jackson in football confronted him as practice opened in preparation for the coming cage season. Without a returning veteran. Jackson again had a big task of rebuilding a team which could carry last year's crowns. According to pre-season calculations the Eagles weren't supposed to be in the ESI) running but gruelling practice sessions and high spirit among the squad resulted in the flock winding up in a second place tie in one of the ruggedest seasons the ESD has produced. They were heralded by many as being one of the best teams in the State. The Eagle quint lost several heartbreakers which could have turned either wav but Lady Luck just wasn't with them. Aberdeen's defending ‘‘A champs carried home the 1950 Consolation honors with Jud Hansen receiving the honor of being placed on the All State squad. The Aberdeen High School Golden Eagles opened their 49-50 basketball season w ith a rousing conquest of their annual riva's the Pierre Governors, on the Arena floor. The Eagles staged a rally late in the fourth quarter to emerge victorious. 44-35. Aberdeen's Eagles opened up in defense of last year's ESI) crown by downing a defensive minded, highly touted. LeKoy Nikolas, Eagle captain, shows the offensive punch which made him one of the highest scorers in the state.

The Bulldogs used three different defenses hut none could halt the Eagles barrage of baskets. The Eagles journeyed to North Dakota for their last pre-conference warm-up and suffered their first defeat of the season by a score of 52-43 at the hands of a veteran Bismark club. Continuing on a roadtrip the Eagles journeyed to Watertown for the first of a weekend series. It was a nip and tuck affair but the Eagles managed to emerge with a 56-53 victory. A last second desperation shot by a Brookings basketeer in the Bobcat lair gave the host club a squeeky 42-40 edge over the Eagles in a well played contest. The Eagles dropped their second game in a row bowing out to the Yankton Bucks 42-33 in a game which saw the Jackson men way below par. The following night Mitchell's Kernels dropped the Hub crew 39-32 to make Aberdeen’s two game road trip a disaster. It was the Eagles third straight set back.

The regulation time ended at 33-33 and the Warrior Veterans pulled ahead to stay as the Hub reserves couldn't keep up with the speed. Bouncing back from the Warrior thriller, the Eagle Cagers mastered the first division Madison Bulldogs for the second time by a 36-26 score. Coach Mylo Jackson brought his cagers home for the first time in six weeks and they showed the home crowd some of the class lost on strenuous road trips by downing the Yankton Bucks 38-31. The Eagles took to the road for the final trip of the regular season journeying to Huron where they swamped the Tigers by a score of 48-30. Home to stay for the remainder of the regular season, the Eagles and the Watertown Arrows locked horns on the Arena court in a battle which was a near duplicate of their early season thriller at Watertown. Aberdeen pulled away after the official timeout and emerged with a 48-41 decision. Brookings' visiting Bobcats found the going rough as the Eagles once again showed their supremacy on the Arena floor and they evened the season score with the ‘Cats by a 46-36 onslaught. The Eagles were never seriously threatened as they tuned up for the coming of the league leading Warriors of Sioux Falls. Again the task of playing two consecutive games proved fatal to Central’s Golden Eagles as Sioux Falls maintained the ESI.) lead with a thrilling 36-35 victory which kept the home crowd on their feet throughout the entire second half. The Eagles elevated themselves into a possible second place tie by dumping the Mitchell Kernels 44-39. This defeat knocked Mitchell out of the lead as they slipped into a tie for first with Sioux Falls. Aberdeen wound up its regular season with a 53-34 win over the cellar dwelling Huron Tigers. This victory gave the Eagles a second place tie with Mitchell in the final ESI) standings as the Warriors conquered the Kernels to take the title. (Continued) Juniors Opponents 28 ....

EAGLES (Continued) SECTIONAL TOURNEY Watertown was the scene of the Northeast Sectional Tourney as the Eagles journeyed there with high hopes of winning a berth in the State “A.’’ In their first game they ran into a red hot Flandreau Indian quintet but put out the fire in time to come out with a slim 43-41 victory. In the second game of the sectional the Eagles won the right to defend their state crown at Sioux Falls by walloping Brookings 64-51. STATE A TOURNEY Vermillion's Tanagers blotted out Aberdeen's hopes to repeat as State champs in the opening round tripping the Hub Flock 35-32. Inability to hit from the charity line as well as from the floor resulted in the Eagles downfall. The Eagles advanced into the Consolation finals by trimming the Rapid City Cobblers, 45-36. Aberdeen looked like a championship ball club in downing the Cobblers in fine fashion recovering from their jittery play against Vermillion. Central's Golden Cagcrs played flawless ball and brought home another trophy by downing their arch rivals, the Watertown Arrows, in the Consolation finals of the State A Tournament, 64-47. W hile the Eagles were taking the lower bracket honors Mitchell took the State crown by downing Vermillion 51-42. Soph Summary Sophomores Opponents 20........ Juniors 32 30 Madison “B 46 17...

This was the second year of intramural basketball and it proved to be even more popular than it was during the first year. Much credit goes to Reedy Fos-sum who organized the basketball setup and gave much of his spare time in the interest of the boys who took part in the program. The 1950 crown went to the Hoosiers as they completed a round robin schedule piling up a record of 14 straight victories to make a runaway of the league. An All-Star aggregation stopped the Hoosier quintet 45-44 on the Arena court in a post season contest. Other parts of the intramural program consisted of touch-football and softball.

These executives are shown taking a short breather from their many activities and responsibilities. M C I L D A D S L S E In the second semester vote, Bruce Lippke was the juniors choice to hold the honor of leading the grand march in the annual junior-senior prom. Pictured helping Bruce draw up prom plans arc Kenny Harstad. class representative; Dave Sabatka. vice-president; and Irene Orr, secretary-treasurer. Both semester officers guided their class under the wise direction of Miss Hannah Buss. Sophomore class officers elected the first semester were: Marcia Dubel, president; Rich Holgate, vice president; and Cy Richards, secretary treasurer. The main duty of these fine officers was the planning of the sophomore party which was a big success. Officers you sophs chose to lead you through your second semester are: Rob Olson, president; Joan Stenberg, vice president, and Jim Stewart, secretary treasurer. These capable leaders have done a fine job. Credit is also due to Joseph Yarbrough, class advisor. 1. Yes Gracic 2. Waterproofed. 5. Mademoiselle Maurine. 3. Interesting!!! 6. Thursday? 4.

As we watched from our scats in the assembly, such efforts were solemnly rewarded to the above students who are, back row, left to right: Hill Pierce, Keith IW.cndal, and Jim King; middle row, Marilyn Worth, Marlene Kihnick, Joan Prison, Charles Hassell, Jerry Eckrich, Maurice Johnson, Margaret Donahue, Mary Timmerman and Lois Ann Hruns; front row, Jane Monroe, Joanne DeVries, Jerry Kamhestad, Bruce Elms, Jim Hoeven, Darrell Brekke, Hen Phillips and Alice Christensen. Membership to Quill and Scroll is an honorary position. Only our friends who have shown an interest in writing, along with the ability, are eligible. This school year the Quill and Scroll has been composed of five senior girls, they are: Joan Frison, Phyllis Hanson, Marlene Ribnick. Joan Trebilcock and Georgia Pickrell. Although we hear little about Quill and Scroll because there are no regular meetings, the member's literary abilities and achievements are brought out in their respective classes. Future Lawmakers For the three short years of its existence, in South Dakota, Girls State has been held at Dakota Wesleyan University at Mitchell. With only a week to spend together, girls attending are kept extremely busy with duties in the city, county, and state governments. These duties specifically are fulfilling office positions, attending senate or house meetings, listening to lectures, participating in talent assemblies, publishing a daily newspaper, touring Mitchell, campaigning, including torch light parades and poster making and doing clean-up duty. With a bunch of girls, after lights out, usually proves to be as good a time as any to become better friends, much to the dismay of the counselors, who are assigned one to a city. In one overworked phrase, “Girls State is a workshop in citizenship.” Central’s representatives to attend Girls State in 1950 are, left to right, Diane Zar-neke, Penny Wipf and Marilee Buttz. Northern State Teachers College is the home to the boys from the cities and towns throughout South Dakota for one week each year as representatives, chosen on the qualifications of scholaslical ability and leadership, attend Boys Stole. The boys spend the week learning about the function of our government and put their findings into operation as they campaign for offices and run a miniature city, county, and state of their own. The schedules of Boys state and Girls State are very similar. Citizens of both states attend regular meetings and assemblies where well-informed speakers speak to them and discuss legislative means of having a combined party or meeting. Toward the end of the session, two of the most outstanding boys are chosen to attend Boys Nation in Washington, D. C. One of our representatives, Ben Phillips, attended in 1949. Planning to follow the examples of our previous boy staters are this year's choices who are, left to right, Bruce Lippke, Ivan Palmer, Jerry Albert, Scott Stearns, Jerry Popowski, Bob Dell. Gordon Bjonerud, Gary Purdy, Dave Bice and Bob I hnertz. ■l -a 1. Posing Buddies a i fl 2. Chorus Line 3. What’cha look in at? 4. Oh, Look! 5. Poker Party 6. Big W heels 7. Cutie 8. Studying???? 9.

Besides practicing second hour every day, private lessons were given to all orchestra members and sectionals were held according to a varying and informal schedule. All this work, done under the fine direction of Mr. Harley Christo-pherson merited the orchestra, the quartet and soloists, firsts at the contest. Posing with their instruments are the first semester officers, Vivian Schott, librarian; Allen Robinson, president; Peggy Strobel, librarian and Doug Throckmorton, secretary-treasurer.

BAND BLASTS Central’s hand is truly a great credit to the school, giving its all. in the true spirit of the athlete, for a better Central High. The band provides musical entertainment for all football and basketball games as well as many other school and civic activities. Under the direction of Arthur Schwuchow. the band rises at an early hour to attend rehearsals but it doesn't bother the members one bit judging from the results of the organization. t t t t imi Vi ll� � H t r « It If % v SECOND CHOIR Sopranos Patty Hedbloom Donna Henehel Alice Roberts Joan Rott Altos Beverly Johnson Bernice Kiefer Betty Stoccker Marlene Streckfuss Jerry Loucks Richard Seiler Helen Brooks Joanne Heckler Norma Shelver Carol Birdseye Beverly Kraft Lois Strome Jim Stewart Diane Demmers Clara Huber Doris Smalley Joan Bjonerud Sara Lee Frances Vetsch Robert Syljuberget Marcia Dubel Gladys Hughes Joan Stenberg Shirley Carmine Eva M a Isom Janice Wanaka Angeline Feiock Donna Filch Solvcig Lee Patty Lockington Jessie Strader Jane Thomas Patty Donahue Marilyn F'lesher Barbara Mathers Jean Parsons Jeanette Zick Basses Joanne Fix Gwenyth Lofgren Shirley Thompson Berthelda Gerdes Jo Ann Peterson Tenors Richard Grorud Shirley F'rieh Jeannine Lund Mavis Valentine Pat Gibbs Mary Jean Pfeiffer Paul Hasse Carol Gagnon Helen Mattern Eilene Wallace Joan Gibson Joan Quinby Leibert Danielson Curt Hutchison Wilma Gross Sally McCracken Beverly Webb Mary Ann Goodrich Jean Reed Gene Everson Roger Peterson Alicia Grote Norene Nordling Mavis Weishaar Cleone Haskell Jacqueline Reich Ludwig Faeth Jerry Ray Elver a Hanson Belie Hartung Darlene Reiger Beverly Williams Maxine Hunter Carol Inman Joyce Rittal Marie Schmitt Ronald Jakubec Stanley Lahmann Jim Steenson Bill Stcllncr GIRLS GLEE CLUB Elaine Arthurs Juanita Backous Evelyn Bucks Darlene Bush Orene Bussian Darlys Butzow Joan Casanova Joanne Dobberpuhl Pearl Doell Lois Elsing Diane Evans Clara Ferguson Delphine Goldade Goldie Gross Darlys Grote Norma Jean Hansen Agnes Heicr Donna Holdridge Levina Hummel Joyce Johnson Mary Lou Kirchgasler Romona Larson Evelyn Lester Marian Marzolf Juletta Mathern Janice Mehlhaff Elaine Meyer Jean Mullner Mary Ann Nelson Helen Obcrmeyer Lucille Peterson Catherine Prestegard Diane Reich Katherine Sahli Mary Lou Sanders Lorraine Schmidt Rita Stenson DeLight Utecht Barbara Vocllcr Margie Weismantel Jean Wells Carol Welsh GOLDEN BLUES Central Nigh’s own swing hand, the Golden Blues, furnished us with music for dancing after all football and basketball games, and on Friday nights when the arena was available.

Trying to impress Mr. Claudon, advisor, with “wheely ' props is the sports staff headed by Duane Ryman. “My copy made the front page” can often be asserted by the above straight news reporters, who have produced the backbone of the paper, except for three issues when the first year students took over by publishing an April Fools edition. Ad people must go out to sell regardless Before they return to draw up the ads time of the weather because advertising is essential to our publication, out is usually taken for a traditional cup of coffee. This year, for the first time, the Word Craft hoard held evening meetings to enable the members who couldn't come to the daily meetings, sixth hour, to attend. The after-hour meetings were marked with work as well as play and were held in the homes of different members. Putting out a literary magazine consisted of many endless tasks, all supervised by Miss Baker, and those surviving have expressed the hope that we enjoy the unique 1950 issue.

Adding to the tenseness of a first night performance was the unexpected collapse of the door on the set and the telephone uncannily dividing itself without any assistance from the actors. However this just made a wonderful play superb. An extensive ticket sales campaign by the Junior Speech Club, Senior Speech Cluh and Drama Club, markedly increased attendance. I N H E A V E N Stage Struck Central’s Katharine Hepburns and Spencer Tracys displayed their talent in the annual spring play which was presented on May 16, and 17 in the Civic Theater.

Chris Freedom Of Speech We watched declam attract school wide interest this year as 40 students, after coaching lessons from either Mr. Yarbrough or Mr. Macomber, entered the local elimination contest. A bus load of kids accompanied our representatives to the division contest held at Mobridge and saw them all take “excellent” ratings except Jack Pred, who won a “superior for his dramatic selection, “The Mad Man.” Jack then went on to the State contest for a repeat “superior performance. Pictured standing behind their runners-up are first place contestants, Duane Bush, humorous; Joan Prison, oratory; Jack Pred dramatics; and Norma Shelver, poetry. Reentering the ranks of competition in original oratory and extemp this year Central took two third places when Alice Christensen and Jim Dutch represented us at the regional contest held at Mobridge. In the local original oratory contest Jack Pred placed second and Berdene Bierman third. Resolved: That the president should be elected by a direct vote of the people. Our debate team, the first organized since before the war. had an average season with a score of two wins and two losses. Attending the district contest at Mobridge, where Central’s teams came up with first place to qualify for the state tourney were: Charles Bassett, Marilyn Jacobson, Maurine Buchanan, Joan Mandery, Bat Warner, Joan Prison. Bob Humphrey, Bob Nelson and John Popowski. In the double elimination contest entered by Charles Bassett, Marilyn Jacobson, Pat Warner and Joan Prison, Central was eliminated twice. At the Huron invitational four out of six honors were taken, but in the Big Eight tourney things weren't as well with Central winning only one. Accompanying the teams on these trips was Mr. Yarbrough, advisor. We, the senior speech club, hereby declare, that under the capable supervision of Mr. Yarbrough we have had good experience in parliamentary procedure. We have promoted the all school play, and have produced a one act play. At the end of the year we completed our activities with a banquet. Gerald Kambestad was president the first semester and Charles Bassett ruled the throne the last semester. SMOOTH SPEAKERS Muffle That Cough “One minute until we go on the air , cautions Yarbrough as another Wednesday evening churns toward the hour of seven. Then we hear carried through air waves, “This is ‘Your Schools In Review,’ a program written, produced and presented by the students of the Aberdeen city schools.” Students, who do most of this radio work are members of the advance speech class but often the nature of various programs requires the help of different groups and sponsors. Tall Talkers Apparently we like to talk. So many wanted to join speech club that a junior division, similar to senior speech club in most respects, was organized under the leadership of Mr. Yarbrough. Speech programs were presented each second and fourth Tuesday when the junior speech club met at the homes of different members. 1. Good example 2. Uh, uh, Mr. Hanson 3. Andrew Sisters? 4.

This year Central's pep club began a slightly different system. Instead of having one large group with separate song and cheer leaders, the organization was divided into two pep squads, an “A and “B” squad, with all members leading both songs and yells. Each year enough replacements will be taken in to keep both squads at six members each as the B squad automatically advances, from leading the sophomore rooters, to the ranks of the “A squad. Memorable of the many fine pep assemblies staged by the 1949-1950 pep club with the assistance of Miss Batt, advisor, and the student body, are the truth and consequences and old fashioned pep assemblies. Mavis Weishaar, Jane Thomas, Jeannie Pfeiffer, LaVonne Brown, Georgia Frison. c E E I N N T S R T A E L I S N S Science Club, meeting every Thursday at 4:00 p.m. under the guidance of Mr. Loverude, completed the school season with much success and progress. Not a single major explosion occurred as. pursuing the purpose of their organization, namely to study scientific materials and carry on experiments, members bravely mixed acids and compounds to make soap and to test for unknowns. Presiding officers are Gordon Bjonerud, president, and Betty Swanson, secretary-treasurer. Central's Radio Club, under the supervision of Merten Masse, has had a busy year. We are proud of the attention they drew and the service they rendered by coming to the rescue during one of the worst blizzards South Dakota has ever known. (While the lines were down they received and sent messages for the radio station. Western Union and railroads.! Other activities of the club included talking to many “ham” operators in the United States and several foreign countries. (They meet every night after school with president, Ben Phillips, and often after supper so they can talk with their unseen friends over the airwaves.) Calling All Hams Little Big Misses When we visit this Double-)' group of juniors and seniors we are conscious of a busy and hearty group. These girls have done much to help their friends and co-workers in choosing vocations, through invited lecturers, speaking on occupations. They have also accomplished many deeds in the community, among which are listed the spring tea, which was given in honor of the teachers of the Aberdeen schools. Little Misses If we were to visit any Y-Deb meeting at the YWCA, we would see them either dancing folk or modern dances, or we would hear them discussing some welfare service which they plan to do. They have sung at Fairview Rest Home, made favors for the hospital and many other useful activities in the community this year. As we leave the girls, we are ushered out by the Y-Teen song, a favorite of this sophomore group. The “Y” is our hangout, of course, and advising the body of the youth center is our youth council, composed of sophomores, juniors and seniors. ’49-’50 was an exceptionally busy year at the “Y“ with the youth council planning many special events such as bake sales, juke box dances, Sadie Hawkins Day and a Sweetheart formal. Executing these programs are president, Pat Warner; vice president. Bob Royster and secretary and parly committee chairman, Luella Draper. Appropriate enough, the accompanying pictures tell the story of photography club activities such as making Christmas cards, visiting the American News and working in the new dark room. Officers of the club, advised by Mr. Loverude and Mr. Buck, are Scott Stearns, president; Bob Lehnertz, vice president and Mary Rudolph, secretary-treasurer. We'll Make A House A Home Officers pictured above are Barbara Brown, Audrey Cook, Na-dene Bierman, Marlene Streckfuss, Joanne Fix, Mary Bain, Elvera Dahme, Eleanor Snyder, Maxine Mack, Arlene Schnabel, Alice Draper, and Lorena Schwan. The future homemakers of America have had a very profitable year. Many interesting talks on nursing, child care, party hints and an informative talk about home ec in Germany were heard by the girls. FHA girls worked hard for various home ec degrees, as well as relaxing during parties and picnics. Also, two Central girls, Joanne Fix and Lorena Schwan attended the FHA convention at Mitchell, accompanied by Miss Flemington, advisor. World Travelers We were fortunate in having an exchange teacher. Mr. Jones with us this year and, as new clubs sprouted, a logical addition was an international club, headed by our Welshman. Definite programs such as talks and films on foreign lands were planned for each meeting. Officers of the club are Jane Monroe, president and Joan Frison, secretary. Si, Amo Mademoiselle Seated lower left are t h e I, a t i n an d French chapters and lower right is the Spanish chapter.

Programs presented by the various chapters, a Christmas program, and reports by the members on their correspondence with foreign students include most of the activities of the club, advised by Mr. Wells. Take A Letter . . . We’re club crazy and helping l« prove it. enthusiasts from the commercial department contracted the disease and united into the commercial club. Under the leadership of Mr. Hanson a revival spirit was injected into the department and plans were formulated so that we may assuredly look forward to seeing, in several years, an improved and prominent section of Central. Officers elected by the club are Rosemarie Plank, president; Mary Katherine F ischer, first vice president; Irene Orr, second vice president; and Janet Smith, secretary-treasurer. Library Lasses The club hug also bit the hook worms as those interested, led by Miss Thomas, formed a new organization, the library club. The present members, in order to learn more a-bout the duties of a library assistant, help with special library projects. They are the ones who check to see if we skipped study hall and do other activities such as checking and straightening hooks to add to their library experience. Schedules of the members differ, there- fore the meetings arc variable. Officers elected for both semesters arc: president, Virginia Everson; vice president, Pat Warner; and secretary, JoAnn W'ilson. ■ 1. Muscle Men 2. At the top 3. A real Heal 0. Cool Water 7.
