The Arrow 19 5 2 VOLUME 33 Edited and published by the Arrow Board CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Aberdeen, South Dakota In the 1952 Arrow we have endeavored to capture and preserve through the medium of photography and written words, the ageless spirit of Central High School. This is your memory book, to treasure through the years. By referring to it we hope you can live again and again the school year of 1951 and 1952. —The Arrow Board Arrow Staff Editor-in-Chief ....

ACTIVITIES DEDICATION If training in a democracy is the best preparation for living in one then we, as students, owe much to Central High School. Under its guidance we have been introduced to those qualities of citizenship so necessary to appreciate the principles of democracy. It is with this thought that we dedicate this 1952 Arrow to citizenship --to those qualities so exemplified in the activities pictured on the following pages of this book. Cy Holgate We take this opportunity to offer a vote of thanks for “Cy’s” friendliness and understanding during his first year in the role of superintendent. We have found him to be fair and loyal. Although he has responsibilities, he has found time to join in the merriment of school life with as much spirit as any of us. For these and the many other things he has done for us throughout the year may we say “Thanks.” As students of Central High, we pause at the end of the school year to reflect upon the kindly guidance and helpful advice Mr. Ludeman has offered us throughout the year. Much of the success of the graduating seniors may be attributed to our principal. To you Mr. Ludeman, for doing a great job during your first year as principal, we wish to express our sincere gratitude. LeRoy Ludeman Board of Education Pictured above are the members of Aberdeen’s Board of Education- From left to right are: Wilbur Kearns, president; Archie Bolduan, vice-president; Cy Holgate. superintendent of schools; Frank Wyttenbach, business manager; Howard Eastian, Jim Stout, and Dr. E. A. Rudolph.. We are greatly indebted to those seldom heard of. yet important people who comprise the Board of Education. Some of the many behind the scene duties of the board are to determine money appropriations given to the school and to formulate the policy of our educational system. Their loyal assistance has added to the success of the 1951-1952 year. Mary Ellen Morrow, as our office secretary, has contributed much to the success of the school year. At the end of her third year at Central, Miss Morrow continues to be friendly and efficient. We’re grateful for all her achievements. We salute Miss Lauretta Mundt, who continues to be cheerful and enthusiastic in her work as vice-principal and girls counselor. Her personal interest in each student has made us feel of individual importance and has contributed much toward our happiness and successful school life. Through her faithful understanding we have gained new depths of understanding. Mary Amacher Physical Ed.

Officers were Bob Zimmerman, president; Marcia Dubel, vice-president; Shirley Frieh, secretary; and Richard Kims, treasurer. The officers conducted class meetings, and were ready to give advice to underclassmen if necessary. This group and the officers of the second semester. selected the graduation announcements to be used by the class of ’52. The following seniors presided over the class during the second semester: Rich Gorsuch, president; Gene Goheen, vice-president; Gwenyth Lofgren, secretary; and Norene Nordling, treasurer.

Junior Class Officers In the second semester vote, Nancy Dewhirst was the juniors’ choice for president. This office gave Nancy the honor of leading the grand march in the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Helping her with the prom plans were Dick Eoettcher, vice-president ; Bill Jones, secretary-treasurer and Paul McCarthy, Class representative. Miss H anna h Buss, junior class advisor, did an excellent job in supervising the officers. The sophomores chose Henry “Hank” Nikolas as president for the first semester. Other officers were Evelyn Young, vice-president; and Ann Werner, secretary-treasurer. The officers planned the sophomore class party, which was held during the fall. As the midpoint of the year was reached, the striving sophomores chose as their second-semester president, Arlo Feiock. Officers serving with him were: Larry Schwuchow, vice-president; and Sharon Gilchrist, secretary-treasurer. Sophomore Class Officers Needless to say, our school was enriched by the spirit and energy these newcomers brought to Central with them. Lacking in recognition, but abounding with spirit, the “sophs” slowly gained the “sea-legs” necessary for a three year cruise aboard “Opportunities Unlimited.” Within a short period of time nearly everyone had joined some extra-curricular activity, had acquainted himself with our way of life, and had established himself as a true centralite. SADIE HAWKINS DAY Things We Remember Something new added to the social calendar of Central was the “Sock Hop.” Pictured above in their prize-winning “sox” are Barbara Heckler and “Chuck” Kirkpatrick. They are receiving their prizes from Mary Lou Kearns. The dance was sponsored by the Junior Speech Club, Division B. Below and to the right are snaps of “Y” activities. Two of the popular activities the Youth Center members engage in are ping-pong and dancing. In addition to the regular juke-box dances, “bigger events” such as the Sweetheart Formal and the Sadie Hawkins Dance were held. © The ’51 Eagles, pictured above are, back row-left to right.

FOOTBALL '51 Coaching Staff-Lenihan, Varsity; Keenan, Juniors; Jackson, Varsity; Wagner, Sophomores. Jack takes a ride. Hauck Batch CO-CAPTAINS Co-Captain Billy Hauck who hails from St- Marys was one of the finest halfbacks in the state although one of the smallest. Billy has great natural ability, excelling in all fields of the game, with ball carrying being his specialty. There also exists within Bill, a competitive spirit, seldom equalled. Bobby Batch, the other captain, is a Monroe Jr. High alumnus. He played guard on the 51 Eagles, and also switched to linebacker on defense. Although playing guard is a thankless job, Bob showed fine leadership. Our hats are off to these two fine boys and may they do as fine a job in future years as they have for the Aberdeen Golden Eagles. Good luck, boys! Season's Highlights The ’51 Golden Eagles starting slowly, gained momentum and climaxed a great season with four straight victories. A tribute must be payed to Coach Mylo Jackson and Emmett Lenihan who worked tirelessly to bring along the results they did. We also take our hats off to the team, true sportsmen in every sense of the word. - si a ' ' • 0 'T 4 r fr. A' � Billy circles the end- Kirkpatrick Ray Cloud Aberdeen 0 Sioux City 14 The Eagles fielded a green team for their opener. Sioux City pushed over two quickies and led at the half 14-0. The second half was nip and tuck with neither team making a serious threat. The team showed a definite lack of polish on offense and also had much to learn on defense. Also the Eagles were without Jim Stewart, returning quarterback, who dislocated his shoulder the week previous to the game. Aberdeen 18 Yankton 18 This was a heartbreaker for the Eagles. They left the field at the half leading 18-0 only to see victory grabbed from their hands. Little Billy Hauck played fine ball to pace the Eagles with everyone aiding in the cause. Yankton came out after the intermission, all fired up to outplay the Eagles throughout the final chapter. Aberdeen 0 Sioux Falls 27 The mighty Warriors put a damper on a wonderful homecoming day, pounding the Eagles 27-0. Credit is due to a great Sioux Falls team led by big John Peckham. Although outman-ned in both size and experience the Aberdonians put up a great battle. As the band performed Hay Season’s Summary Eagles Opponents 0 Sioux City ... 14 18 ... Yankton . ... ...18 0 .

Aberdeen 19 Mitchell 19 The Eagles invaded Mitchell with victory in their eyes. They almost achieved it but again it was wrestled from them by a fighting Mitchell team and the flock had to be content with another tie. Our boys led 13-0 at halftime. A1 Johnson and Bill Hauck did some fine running with the line opening some beautiful holes in the Kernal defense. Aberdeen 6 Watertown 0 The Aberdeen offense began to click during this game and was not stopped for the rest of the season. The blocking for which Mylo had been working all season showed itself and it gave dividends as the Eagles scored an early touchdown and combined it with a terrific defensive game to grab their first victory of the season. at the half, the scoreboard read 6-0- The second hali proved less interesting as the Warriors size began telling and three more touchdowns were added. Hauck grabs a pass. Eagle Tackling form. Aberdeen 25 Madison 0 The boys showed their amazing potential as they blasted a determined Madison pack 25-0. The running game was co-ordinated beautifully with the blocking as four touchdowns were punched through and around the Bulldogs line. Bobby Batch led the team with a wonderful job of linebacking on defense. His usual spot is the guard slot. Aberdeen 34 Huron 14 Huron came to Aberdeen a slight favorite but was in for a drastic surprise. They had everything thrown at them but the grandstand. The Eagles backfield ran like the Four Horsemen and the line tore gaping holes in the Tigers defense. Team spirit had reached its peak and the Eagles would have been tough for anyone to stop. Aberdeen also displayed a brilliant passing attack with A1 Johnson doing the throwing. Aberdeen 20 Brookings 7 The Centralites fought the Brookings team, anti the elements, to gain their last victory which was a truly tine cne. The Eagles donned basketball shoes as they slipped and slid around on the field with a blizzard blasting them in the face. They scored quickly and were never again headed. Billy Hauck again played fine ball and Jim Stewart who had just recovered from a dislocated shoulder, showed great generalship as he directed the team from his quarterback slot.

The season went something like this: Eagles 34 Mitchell 39 In the opening game of the season at the Corn Palace, the Golden Elock dropped a five pointer to the Mitchell Kernels. The score was tied 13-all at halftime, but Mitchell gained a third quarter lead and held it for the remainder of the contest. Wayne Fix led the Eagle scoring with 15 points. Eagles 83 Madison 31 Nearly setting a new E. S. I), scoring record, the Jacksonmen were never troubled with the Bulldog attack. The Central boys ran up a 26-9 first quarter lead and at halftime they led 47-17. After leading 60-23 at the third quarter Coach Mylo Jackson sent in the reserves. They racked up 23 markers and sewed up the game. Jim Labesky scored 17, Wayne Fix 13. and Jim Hay 12 to lead the attack. Eagles 34 Sioux Falls 37 Against Washington High’s Warriors the Eagles were hot the first quarter and looked promising to Coach Jackson. But in the remaining three quarters the Eagles scored as much as they did in the first quarter, that being 17 points. In the third quarter a very unusual thing happened. Both teams combined scored only seven counters. Fred Forseth led our boys with 10 points. Eagles 46 Brookings 58 The score above is not indicative of how close the game was. At the third quarter Brookings led by two points, 39-37. After a few quick baskets the Bobcats put on a very effective stall game. Coach Jackson substituted freely in the remaining minutes. Jim Hay and A1 Johnson, reserve strength on the bench, led the scoring attack with 14 and 12 respectively. Fix notched a dozen counters also. Eagles 33 Watertown 55 On the Watertown court the Arrows were in command almost all of the way. At halftime it was 24-22, but after the intermission the Arrows walked away.

The excitement began Thursday. September 27 with the introduction and initiation of the new Pep Club members at the Pep Rest in the Civic Arena. Something new was added this year-two male members! Following the initiation stunts, the student body “fell in” behind the school band and formed the traditional snake dance which wound its way down Main Street and continued back to the school grounds, stopping at the post office only long enough to renew itself with an added burst of pep. After much singing and yelling at the bonfire in the school yard, the various home rooms went to their secluded hangouts where final preparations were made for the completion of the floats. The next morning dawned clear but cold and it was amidst much feet-stamping and finger-blowing that the floats, carrying out the theme of “World Sports,” were completed. Then came the time which all Central had so eagerly awaited—the crowning of Marcia Dubel and Jim Labesky as 1951-1952 Queen and Marshal. There was much applause as previous royalty, Joan Strader and Herb Cochrane, placed the crowns upon the heads of the new monarchs. The distribution of the souvenir Pageant Day Booklets was next on the agenda. By the time the excitement had died down it was time for the parade to begin. The floats were decorated to depict some of our favorite sports, and everyone was anxious to learn which home rooms were winners. Senior honors were taken by Mr. Claudon’s home room with a portrayal of swimming. Hunting and Miss Pautz’s junior home room teamed up in presenting a very eye-pleasing prizewinner. The sophomore home rooms did very well at their first try at Pageant Day floats. Copping the honors for them was Mr. Yarbrough’s home room with its complicated float showing various aspects of archer)'. The crowd lined along the route of march greeted the floats warmly and much of this enthusiasm was carried into the afternoon gridiron battle where the sophomores were defeated by the juniors in a very thrilling exhibition. The Ragles loss in the evening to the powerful Washington High machine had a temporary quieting affect on Ragle followers, but spirits were again lifted as Queen Marcia and Marshal Jim reigned over the Pageant Day Dance held in the Civic Arena. Many couples, including former graduates, danced to the music of John Taylor and his orchestra. Indeed, it was a day to be long remembered. Remembered through the pictures on the following pages. Remembered as our Pageant Day 1951.

Members of the cast were: Mary Ann Goodrich, Pat Donahue, Phil Gelber, Don Levi, Sally McCracken, Bev Johnson, Rich Gorsuch. Chris Hauge, Joan Rott, Sylvia Moore. Diane Dem-mers, Lynnis Hauck, Eugene Malsom, and Katherine Oxenrider. The play was directed by Mrs. Chilton. Cheaper By The Dozen Above is a scene of a typical family council. Mr. Gilbreth acted as president at these councils, where the rest of the family unwillingly yielded to his decisions. Solveig Lee. the eldest daughter of the Gilbreth family, is shown above as she vainly trys to explain a certain happening which Clara Huber, her younger sister is responsible for. The play. Cheaper By the Dozen, is centered around Mr. Gilbreth. the father of 23 a family of twelve. Rich Ilolgate played the part of Mr. Gilbreth and Shirley Frieh played opposite as Mrs. Gilbreth. There was never a dull moment in the Gilbreth household due to the fact that Mr. Gilbreth was always trying to derive new methods for saving time. The fact that Mr. Gilbreth did not have long to live and knew it, explained why he kept trying to teach his children things which he considered useful, such as taking a bath in 2 minutes instead of 4. When Solveig Lee, the eldest of the children, discovered boys, the whole household was upset. Mr. Gilbreth had not counted on anything of this sort, but he soon found a way to make everyone happy, except Jack English, that is. He allowed Solveig to attend shows and other dates but he insisted that a younger brother go along on every date Jack being a younger brother, was usually delegated! Other members of the cast were Don l evi, Bucky Moree-son. Joan Stenberg. Chuck Schock, Chris Hauge Rirh Cnr. such.

The president, Max Cloud, and the advisor Mr. Hasse have led the council through many trials and tribulations- The major undertaking of the council this year was adopting a war orphan from Greece. Acquiring the needed funds, and cutting official red-tape called for maximum effort from all council members. The money was raised by having the home rooms meet a portion of the cost. The remainder was raised from contributions at a school dance, and the council treasury. Other events which the student council had charge of were; Pageant Day, Eaglean Follies, and the entertainment of the pupils who eat lunch at school. The council’s noon plan centered around movies, opening the library for study, and supplying the Central Gymnasium with ping-pong equipment. Safety Patrol The thirty-five students that serve on the Safety Patrol find it their duty to hold posts at different times during the school day to enforce the regulations concerning pedestrians and the proper operation of motor vehicles. The program, which is under the direction of Mr. Solem, is a great asset to the public safety, as well as the school.

Newly reorganized, under the direction of Mr. Ochs, the monitor board lost no time in presenting concrete evidence to justify its existence. Rotating stations were established to allow monitors to serve at each post. Hall regulations were set up and each monitor scrutinized traffic for offenders. Violators were shown the “error of their ways” in various ways. Barbara Mathers, head monitor, and Mr. Ochs, faculty advisor, should be commended for their splendid job.

Although the band of icers receive little recognition they perform many services which add to the efficiency of th? organization. The officers preside at the meetings of the Band Council which consists of the first chair players from each section. This council discusses all band problems which appear and also undertakes the planning for the annual Music department party. From early morning marching practice in the fall to the last strains of commencement music in the spring, the band members are kept busy with a steady round of activities. Throughout the year the band is called upon to perform at a variety of civic and school functions. A glance behind the scenes reveals that these performances are made possible only by many rehearsals. individual instruction, and diligent practice on the part of the band members. The band contributes much toward the enjoyment of football and basketball games, for the members always attend in full force to add the music of favorite marches and school songs to the cheering of the spectators. An added attraction at the football games is the various marching formations at half-time-This year something new. a square dance formation was attempted. The dark blue uniforms with gold lined capes made a colorful effect swinging to the rhythm of “Turkey In The Straw.” Twelve members of the band were chosen to attend the second annual all-state band held at Sioux Falls in March. This was an honor, for the band was comprised of 150 of the outstanding high school musicians from all parts of South Dakota. Instructors, the backbone of the entire music department, are left to right: Arthur Schwuchow, band director; Meredith Brunk, orchestra director; Ronald Prescott, a cappella director; Francis Dorre, assistant band director.

The society, inactive as a service organization, recognized the contributions which those students admitted have already nude during their high school careers. Members for Keystone are taken from the top twenty five per cent of their class. They must have strong characteristics of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. At the winter initiation nine seniors were initiated into the society. Performing the ceremony were the eleven seniors who had been in Juctd during the spring of their junior year. The impressive ceremony opened with Nancy Dewhirst playing “Pomp and Circumstance” on the organ. The members told the meaning of the organization and received the qualifications necessary for admittance before the new members were announced. Pictured above are the members of Keystone after the winter initiation ceremony. Old members back row, left to right, are: Fred Forseth, Jean Kozendal, Joan Bjonerud, Pat Donahue, Jo Dobberpuhl, Max Cloud. Rich F lms, Re Johnson, Carol Welsh. Tom Hunker, and Bill SteUner. New members pictured below from left to right, back row: Paul Hasse, Bob Olson, Charles Kirkpatrick. Barbara Mathers. Front row: Norma Shelver, Solveig Lee, Marcia Dubel, Mary Ann Goodrich, and Joan Stenberg. Each year ten boys and three girls are chosen by fellow students and faculty to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State. The girls will journey to Mitchell for the session to be held June 1 to 7. At the same time, the boys will reside on the campus of Northern State Teacher’s College where they will study and set up model forms of government. Pictured above are this years Boys’ Staters.

The girls pictured below are, left to right, Carroll Johnson, Nancy Dewhirst, and Ann Hasse. A r B r o o a w r d Marcia Dubel served as editor-in-chief of the yearbook staff. Members met after supper evenings to carry out the seemingly endless number of tasks dealing with the make-up of pages and writing copy. A number of things had to be done in comparatively short time that tried the nerves of each of the members, to say nothing of Mr. Noecker, advisor.

Pictured above are the fringe members of the Wordcraft Board. They are students who are interested in the publication and write for it, but because of scheduling difficulties cannot meet with the regular board. They meet after school one night each week. The Wordcraft is a literary publication composed entirely of stories, essays, and poems written by the students of Central High. This year’s magazine was published under the able co-editorship of Norma Shelver and Lawrence Hackett. Material for the Word-craft is collected throughout the year and the magazine is published in the spring. At that time, an assembly to boost sales and an intensive sales campaign are sponsored by the members. Regular members of the Wordcraft Board and typists are pictured below. These are the students who besides writing, do the actual work of publishing the magazine. They spend every sixth hour working on the publication. The board consists of sophomore, junior, and senior students. Q 4-j-ri“j4-4z q A large number of students showed interest in the Fall 1 nULIVILltJO speech contest held in November this year. Divisions of the contest were poetry interpretation, humorous reading, dramatic interpretation, and oratorical declamation. The students who entered this event are pictured above. First place winners of both contests represented Central at the Division V contest at Mo-bridge where they received high ratings. Students chosen by the judges as winners of the Spring and Fall speech contests are pictured above. Winners of the Fall contest, first, second, and third respectively, were: oratorical declamation; Donna Goehring, Jack English. Don Levi; humorous reading; Evelyn Young, Lyle Hanson.

Pictured below are the spring speech contestants. Vermillion Speech Festival This was the first year that Central participated in the speech festival held at the University of South Dakota at Vermillion each year. Twenty young people, accompanied by Miss Mundt, took the two day trip and entered various events which included debate, discussion, poetry, radio announcing, after dinner speaking, and public speaking. Some students entered several events with six students winning superior ratings.

This program was entirely written, produced, and presented by students of the Aberdeen city schools. Members of advanced speech class served as the production staff which did the actual work of planning and producing the program. Radio announcers were selected for the year after being auditioned by Mr. Yarbrough, the faculty advisor in charge of this activity. Often the nature of the programs required the participation of various individuals and organizations which helped to make the program a success. Radio Announcers This year the Junior Speech club, comprised of sophomores and juniors interested in speech activities, was divided into two clubs, Divisions A and B. Twice a month these clubs met at the homes of members. Division A put on a Christmas assembly and Division B planned a Sock Hop. In the spring the combined clubs planned the annual Speech Club banquet to which the senior group was invited. J. W. Yarbrough was the “A” club’s advisor, and Harry Jones was the advisor of the “B” club. The Senior Speech club, consisting of senior girls, met twice a month at the homes of members. The main purpose of the club was to promote speech activities at Central. During the year, the members had a bake sale and sponsored the annual Easter assembly which included a style show. Speech instructor, J. W. Yarbrough, was the club’s advisor. The Biology Club of Central has had a year filled with interesting and educational work. Members have examined various stages of seed germination. Other activities during the year included mounting specimens in liquid plastic, studying the effect of alcohol and narcotics on the body, and building seed germination boxes for experiments. Much research and effort have gone into making the club successful. The president, Robert Randall, and the advisor, Miss Buss, ha e led the group in all their projects. International Relations Club, new to Centralites this year, was comprised of Modern Problems students interested in adding to their general knowledge of world problems. Through discussion of world affairs, members of International Relations Club are better able to understand the problems that face the world today. Officers elected by members of the club were: Gerald Sandberg, president; Jim Deacon, vice-president; and Carol Welsh, secretary. School Lunch Program Grace Clement A school lunch program, accommodating over 200 students during the coldest part of the winter, operated from the middle of October to the first part of May in the Washington building. Students from Central and from the Roosevelt Elementary School made use of this program. The menus were prepared by Miss Clara Flemington or by the members of her homemaking classes. The lunchroom is under the supervision of Miss Grace Clement. In addition to the Washington building lunches, identical lunches were served in Monroe Junior High and Simmons Junior High Schools. Drama and Stagecraft Club Central’s Drama Club consists of a group of aspiring thespians who are interested in many phases of the theater. Under the sponsorship of drama instructor, Mr. J. E. Hammers, the club has undertaken such projects as; arranging and building the scenery for school plays, presenting a skit over “Your Schools In Review,” and studying plays of better known playwrights. The group chose as their officers for this year. Naomi Bullock, president; and Barbara Scott, secretary. Commercial Club Taking field trips to local business firms and studying office procedure are the main objectives of the Commercial Club. This club, headed by Mr. Kenneth Hansen, is comprised of members of the office practice classes. Fugitives from light, Central’s darkroom enthusiasts, are a group of students interested in photography as a hobby or even a career. At their weekly meetings, the group experiments with the technical aspects of lighting, printing, paper, negatives, exposure, development, and the different parts of the camera and the use of them. The club is under the sponsorship of Mr. Thomas Loverude and Mr. Eugene Buck. Their dark room is located in the basement of the Washington building. Pictured above are eight of the fifteen members comprising the Photography club. They are. left to right, Bernice Jangula, LaVerne Delker, Phyllis Jacobson.

A variety of activities was carried on by the Double Y’s, the junior and senior girls of the Y-Teens. During their regular meetings held at the YWCA bi-monthly, they listened to several speakers including a young woman lawyer from Germany and a beauty expert. They also had movies and a swimming party. The Double Y’s sponsored a bake sale, the profit of which went to the fund for sending members to a summer leadership conference. The sophomore girls were members of theY-Debs. This club also met at the YWCA bimonthly. The members were particularly interested in craft work which included leather and woodenware decoration. They also enjoyed a caroling party, folk dancing, and a pot luck supper. The pep club, under the direction of Miss Amacher and Mr. Dorre, had a very successful year leading the songs and yells at all home games and at many out of town contests. The “A”-squad this year was composed of five senior and two junior members. The “B”-squad had three sophomores and one junior. Each squad boasted of a boy cheer leader for the first time in many years. The pep club had charge of an assembly before each home game and they did much to boost the spirit of students even if our team was not always a winner. Youth Council The Youth Council is concerned with the activities of students at the Y. M. C. A. youth center. The council was responsible for planning the Sweetheart Formal, Sadie Hawkins dance, juke box dances, and movies. This year the council also sponsored a play in addition to the other activities. Junior Red Cross Maintaining the morale of, and assisting physically with the children in the polio, ward at St. Lukes Hospital has been one of the major aims of the Junior Red Cross Council. In order to carry out this program in full, many students volunteered some of their time to help make life a little brighter for children m a i m e d in body, but not in spirit. Another project o f this club was to send a school chest to a needy school overseas. This chest contained health, recreational, and educational supplies. An all school drive to collect clothing for needy children abroad was sponsored by the Junior Rer Cross earlier in the year. These are only a few of the things carried out by the JRC to make life a little better for those not so fortunate. Science Club The Science Club program enables those people who are interested in science to conduct experiments beyond those performed in the classroom. Members of the club meet weekly under the supervision of Mr. Loverude. The Central Radio Club has had a very busy year. The club examined many phases of radio, with the aid of their very capable advisor, Mr. Hasse. One of the most enjoyable undertakings of the club has been to converse with other amateur radio operators, called hams.” This communication with other operators was not confined only to the United States, but was extended into Canada. Mexico, and other foreign countries. The club has also had some valuable experience with television and its complicated methods of reception. Their meetings are held every afternoon after school and sometimes in the evenings. RADIO CLUB Members of the Radio Club pictured at the left are: Talton Johnson, Tom McCarthy, and Eugene Hamilton. Appearing below are: Robert Randall, Leibert Danielson. Mr. Hasse, Bruce Bower, and Harold Bom-hoff. Future Homemakers of America Central’s chapter of the Future Homemakers of America Club has held a charter since the organization of the National F. H. A. in 1945. The club is founded on the ideal—to work together for better and happier home life for all. Club members work toward the goal of making happy homes, now and in the future. This, they believe, is one of the most important contributions youth can make to democracy. During the past year the local chapter has been very active. Among the many worthy projects undertaken by the club, three stand out. Packages were sent to the Rest Home, and United Nations Day and F. H. A. Week were observed. The club was also hostess for the district meeting of F. H. A. clubs and an Open House Tea. A summary of careers in the field of Home Economics was presented to the junior and senior girls. The regular meetings consisted of business, entertainment, and refreshments. The Language Club, comprised of Spanish and Latin students, meet every other week under the supervision of Miss S a 1 z s e i d 1 er and Mr. Jones. Throughout the year this group has posted bulletin boards concerning the foreign countries where Latin and Spanish are spoken. The club also presented scrapbooks which they had made, to the children in the Saint Lukes hospital wards. Latin students, under the direction of Miss Salzseid-1 e r, constructed song books written in their chosen language. Language Club 8. John Becker 9. Roy Johnson CUSTODIANS Fred Sahli 2.
