Yet Central High School focuses its attention on the individual student. As he participates in classes, social and service activ- ities, organizations, and sports; he develops the personality, char- acter, and knowledge which will be associated with him for the rest of his life. Academics, activities, affiliations, athletics —each is respon- sible for contributing to the intellectual curiosity, social maturity, leadership ability, and competitive spirit of the individual. By photographically presenting the experiences that help mold the individual student, the picture of Central High School emerges. ACADEMICS Each student’s academic life is the nucleus of his high school career. Through courses in the humanities, nat- ural sciences, and social studies; through practice in in- dustrial arts and home economics; through activities in physical education and ROTC; each student develops his intellectual curiosity and adds to his knowledge. It is within the classroom where the student performs as an individual and it is here emphasis is placed on the well-known individual differences. Here, in addition to essential facts and ideas neces- sary for knowledge, the student learns reasoning, accu- racy, originality, and curiosity. Here he learns to question, to seek, to examine, and to think. Looking as though they are enjoying their work are members of the Davenport School Board. Pictured around the table at one of their monthly meetings are Dr. James Rogers; Dr. Gordon Flynn; Mr. Les Jones; Supt. Anthony Marinaccio; Dr. J. Brown White, president; Miss Viola Waack, secretary; Mr. Paul Bohnsack; Mrs. Lois Leach; and Mr. Paul Norton. City, Central Administration Davenport High School has a glorious history, academically as well as in athletics and extra- curricular activities. It was the largest and great- est high school in the state. This is now history, as Davenport High School no longer exists as the one high school in the city. The community was divided and two new” schools emerged in the fall of 1960, Central High and West High. The traditions which will come from each of these new schools is up to the student body. Cen- tral High School can still be the greatest school in the middle west ... but only if each individual student makes a contribution to what were the glories of old Davenport High School. Each stu- dent can do this by devoting himself to his very utmost academically and thereby setting the standards and academic achievement high; by con- tributing personally to all school activities gen- erally and specifically; and by supporting all extra- curricular activities to the maximum. Out of this will come the spirit that will be Central High School and its reputation and glories for the fu- ture will rise to even greater heights. 8 DR. ANTHONY MARINACCIO Superintendent of Schools MR. PAUL ECKERT Assistant Principal Constitute the Foundation Students, I wonder if any of you have experienced some of the same feelings as I this year as we departed Davenport High School and became Central High School. As late as mid-year I still had the vague feeling that the 1300 students at West High would be back with us and the old days of packed cor- ridors, stairways, study halls and classrooms would be continued. As I walked through the halls and attended the pep meetings and the athletic events, I seemed to be subconsciously wondering . . . “Where are all the others?” The good old days” were great, but I can truth- fully say that I’m glad they’re gone! Our present enrollment is very much more appropriate for our facilities and our school is a better one because of it. It was wonderful to have been principal of Dav- enport High School for many years, but it is even better to be principal of Central High School. Best Wishes to You All, Knowing that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Mr. Roger Berry, principal, and Mr. Paul Eckert, assistant principal, pause for a coke break during one of their busy days. 9 Central Test Factory! Commercial Workshop girls Betty Schneckloth, Judy Cook, Jean Ann Minard, and Mary Kuendel aid the CHS faculty by typing and duplicating test material, special projects, and worksheets, in addition to aiding clubs and activities with their material. Busy Beavers Mean Business MR. GLENN HANSEN Distributive Education General Office Training Merchandising MR. MICHAEL DARDIS Accounting Bookkeeping Coaching Because specialized training at the high school level provides an “opening wedge” in the business world, CHS stresses marketable skills through its business education department. By equipping each student with skills that will enable him to earn a good living in book- keeping, general office work, secretarial work, or retailing, the school prepares him for the job of living in our business society, where he can manage his earnings competently and can cope successfully with the personal economic problems that will confront him. Ultimately, the courses strive for active, responsible citizens in communities. To achieve this goal, CHS channels all business education stu- dents into one of four sequences: bookkeeping, general office, steno- graphic, and distributive retailing. Subjects such as business law, office machines, and merchandising, relate to all these phases. Sophomores begin their study with classes in typewriting and book- keeping, which are enhanced in the junior year by advanced courses in typewriting, Gregg shorthand, and accounting. As seniors, business education students may elect senior stenography supplemented with Commercial Workshop or laboratory, general office practice with lab- oratory, or distributive education practice with laboratory. Through these channels Central teaches its business education students the skills, knowledge, and ideals necessary to understand and adjust to actual business experiences after graduation. 10 MISS CECILE LOGIC Department Head Commercial Workshop Senior Stenography, Typewriting MISS DELIA MAY TAYLOR Shorthand Typewriting MR. RALPH KERSHAW Business Law Office Machines Typewriting Advanced typing students utilize their keyboards to practice and perfect the many forms of letters they learn. Miss Cecile Logic checks the progress of her students during a typist's day, a realistic project involving a typist’s day in an office. Learning the intricacies of calculating machines, both manual and electric, and the ten key listing adding machines keeps Mr. Ralph Kershaw's office machines class clicking. 11 :-- Just a wee bit flat!” warns orchestra director, Mr. Rayburn Pierce, as he supervises one of the weekly private lessons of orchestra member Irene Blaser. MR. FORREST MORTIBOY Department Head Instrumental Music MR. JAMES CONOWAY Art Fine Arts Further Culture, Creativity MR. MILTON ANDERSON Vocal Music MR. RAYBURN PIERCE Instrumental Music To appreciate all forms of art idealizes the primary purpose of the fine arts department. By understand- ing the principles that govern the world culture, stu- dents are prepared to cultivate greater viewing and listening pleasure in later life. All art students begin their year’s study, whether at a beginning or advanced level, by separating the basic elements of a picture — line, form, texture, color, and space —and studying each one by itself. In this manner students can piece their knowledge together and form better drawings because of their understand- ing of the essentials of a good painting. In the same respect they are appreciating art, establishing a tech- nique, and learning the accompanying history. Music courses attempt to establish intelligent lis- tening habits and appreciation of music for all who have taken part in its many high school branches. While participating in each event, CHS musicians are studying something which they can follow either as a side-light or vocation in later life, a form of culture which they can better appreciate because of their knowledge of it. 12 Maybe glue would hold it! muses Jan Val- lem as other band students, Don Dumanowski, Nancy Pedersen, Bob Bates, and Jim DeReus, ignore her capers during an early morning rehearsal in the band room. “Sticks and stones will break our bones, but these twigs and toothpicks are too pretty to hurt us! exclaims Virginia Campbell as she applies the finishing touches to a branch centerpiece in art class. “Not quite so much from the basses” suggests Mr. Milton Anderson, as a Cappella members put forth their all in one of the most enjoyed music courses. A Cappella, a selective course, represents CHS at programs and concerts throughout the Quad- City area. You’d better get your application in before it’s too late! warns Mr. Roy Stoller as he and Merrilee Anderson discuss college plans in the Counseling Office. Guidance Correlates Academic Life MISS LUCILLE BURIANEK Counseling Guidance MISS PAULINE COTTER Counseling Guidance Placement Office The guidance courses held once a week in all three high school years strive for the betterment of the school, of society in general, but particularly of the individual. As each pupil learns the rules and regulations of the school, he is profiting the school and himself at the same time. Counselors assist each boy and girl in developing his own standards of values and a growing philosophy of life. At the same time a study of personality and leadership qualities enable each to contribute to the success of the school and himself. By understanding his own abilities, in- terests, and personal traits, the student prepares himself better for the future. Besides learning about the individual student, all study their relationship to CHS through such topics as what extra-curricular activities each should indulge in. Courses stress the correct way of studying and introduce the many guidance services available. Much class time centers around plans for the immediate and long-range future —vocational and higher educational choices. Beyond this, guidance acquaints all with the best program of studies in preparation for future education or occupations and ultimately for useful citizenship. Although only 43 minutes a week are devoted to guidance, the prin- ciples taught and problems solved through it branch out into every class and aid in forming better equipped leaders of to- morrow. 14 MR. ROY STOLLER Head Counselor Counseling Guidance MR. WARREN CLASSON Counseling Guidance MRS. GERALOINE TOHER Counseling Guidance Both hoping for jobs, Valerie Halfman and Cable Von Maur listen attentively as Miss Pauline Cotter, Placement Office director, explains the correct way of filling out their application blanks. Don’t worry, test results aren't everything!” sympathizes Miss Lucille Burianek as guidance students analyze apti- tude test scores. By discussing their ratings, students have a better idea how to plan their high school schedules. Whether he’s planning to be an engineer or an architect, the experience Dan Jensen is gaining in this mechanical drawing class will give him an insight to many of the opportunities offered in the industrial field. Tools and Toil Frame Industrial Arts MR. FRANK TANK Printing Vocational Printing Publications Advisor To prepare interested boys for occupations employing the basic industrial skills is the goal of the industrial education department, which is comprised of an industrial arts area and a vocational section. The former meets once a day five days a week and the latter, three periods per day five days a week. The industrial arts department aids in developing student skill and manipu- lative ability in using tools and machines. Mechanical drafting, machine drafting, architectural drafting, electricity, radio and electronics, machine shop, metalwork, motor mechanics, printing, and woodworking provide the material means of reaching the goals of the Industrial Arts department. The vocational area proposes to give those students who have made tenta- tive choices in motor mechanics, machine, or printing occupations education and experience in accordance with their interests and abilities. MR. SIGURD HANSON Electricity Mechanical Drawing Radio and Electronics MR. DONALD KAMPFER Metal Working Motor Mechanics MR. LEON KRUSE Mechanical Drawing Woodworking MR. CHARLES LESSIN Architectural Drawing Machine Shop Metalworking 16 MR. MERLIN MAIERS Vocational Machine Shop Vocational Motor Mechanics MR. ROBERT WEHLAGE Vocational Machine Shop Whether a simple tune-up or a complete overhaul is necessary, vocational auto- motive students have the know-how. Like doctors op- erating, Jack Lipsman and Mike Wayson put their “pa- tient back together. Precision machine work is the purpose of vocational machine shop students. Instructor Robert Wehlage gives direc- tions to Dick Reedy during the three hour laboratory course. 17 Looking as though her written composition is presenting some problems, Pam Elliot asks the advice of Mrs. Caro- lynn Link while other sophomore English students, Kent Carlson, Donna Chapin, Wilma Dohrmann, Jim Dohr, and De- nise Fraser work on their class themes. Language Arts Stress Com Skills The language arts department stresses communication through four threads of thought: writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Although English courses are required only in the sophomore and junior years, many elect a third year to gain understanding and appreciation of skills which they will be employing for the rest of their lives. Sophomores develop basic skills in writing and reading in English I and II. For those needing additional practice in written and oral skills, English III and IV in the junior year are offered. Here they learn to think clearly, to communicate effectively, and to read thoughtfully. Many juniors elect a year of American literature, in which they enjoy and appreciate th6 writing of their country while they are familiarizing themselves with the historical, social, and philosophical backgrounds of their native literature. An imaginary trip to Great Britain sets the stage for study of such masters as Chaucer and Shakespeare in the senior course, English literature. Even the English classes include the other forms of communication, for reading, without writing, speak- ing, or listening, would not fulfill the objectives of the depart- ment. Grammar, a single semester subject offered to seniors, serves as a general review and college or business prepara- tion class which is climaxed by a research paper, the accumu- lation of the many skills developed in the course. MRS. CAROLYNN LINK English MISS CAROL KOELLE English 18 MISS HORTENSE FINCH Department Head English Literature English MRS. MARY IMHOFF American Literature Grammar MRS. FRANCES PAPENBROCK American Literature English Proving that all poets aren't famous, Marilyn Likeness reads her original poem to Miss Margaret West's American literature class as Bill Walker puts it on tape. Where do I put my footnotes? and But, I only have two references for my bibliography! are typical wails of Mrs. Mary Imhoff's grammar students as they prepare the long-awaited” term paper. 19 Oh, it has to come out!” moans Dr.” Pam Reida to her agonized patient, Tom Delaney, as Cindy Steckel, Jannet Ault, Joyce Godwin, and Barb Danielson act as critics for a dramatics class characterization. Speaking, Acting, Creating ... Arts, too MISS MARGARET WEST American Literature English MISS DOROTHY 8LACKMAN French Spanish Speaking skills assume authority in the dramatics, public speaking, and speech courses. Promoting artistic discrimination, dramatics meets its goals by teaching first the appreciation of drama and then its interpretation. Speech affords speaking opportunities, while educating students in expressing and in good listening. Although public speaking attempts to do the same, it teaches at an advanced, more detailed level. Journalism emphasizes newswriting and the essentials of a newspaper, in addition to evaluating newspapers. Latin emphasizes the classical world. Students of the modern langu- ages, French, German, and Spanish, learn to read with comprehension, to write confidently, to pronounce with ease, and to understand the oral langu- ate — the four communication trends. MR. ELIHU COOPER MR. RONALD MAERTENS English Audio Visual Office Latin German MRS. CHERYL WHITEMAN Spanish 20 MISS SHERRY KILPATRICK English Journalism Publications Advisor Whether the topic be planning a new United Nations or just trying to strengthen the old one, discussion groups in speech classes aid in developing more poised, assured public speakers. MRS. MAE ELMA TORNQUIST American Literature Dramatics English Modern language students are able to listen to and to imitate the voices of true Frenchmen, Germans, or Spaniards in the new language laboratory. Miss Dorothy Blackman operates the control board for French students Vickie Peter- son and David Close. 21 Only the bold and brave at CHS enroll in trigonometry, for each day they are confronted with complicated problems and formulas such as these. Mr. Harlan Goldsmith, instructor, and Gary Schneider try to make the going a little easier for Gail Anderson, the only girl in this trig class. Accu racy + Reason ing = Mathematics MRS. MARY HESS Algebra Geometry MR. JAMES BRUNNER Algebra Plane Geometry Coaching Present and future work usually requires the important tools of precision, accuracy, and logical thinking, all of which are formed through the mathe- matics courses. When each sophomore enters Central and chooses either Algebra I and II or plane geometry, he is assigned to a class composed of others of relatively the same ability. In algebra he learns the basic algebraic concepts, which may be mastered in the one-semester courses, Algebra III and IV. Plane geometry, necessary for these advanced algebra courses, stresses deductive reasoning and basic geometric principles. Advanced students study solid geometry and trigo- nometry through semester courses, while others may review arithmetic skills in business arithmetic. MR. HARLAN GOLDSMITH Algebra Trigonometry MR. THOMAS MURPHY Algebra Business Arithmetic Coaching MR. PAUL STILL Plane Geometry Coaching 22 MR. WILLIS ROSING Department Head Algebra Business Arithmetic Only great effort and diligent work makes a math student suc- cessful. If this picture is any indication, it appears as though Jon Miller, one of Mrs. Mary Hess’s geometry students, knows this secret, too! Although it is usually the students who are at the board working and the teacher in his seat watching, Mr. Willis Rosing reverses the method in explaining a difficult problem to his relaxing” algebra students. 23 MR. JAMES FOX Department Head Physical Education Coaching These gym boys appear to be trying to prove the theory that all men are descendents of the monkey. In reality they are only enjoying some of the equipment provided them in the small gym. MR. EUGENE FISHER Physical Education Coaching Physical Skills Lead to Well-Being MISS MARJORIE HOLDERNESS Physical Education Coaching Intramurals MISS GENEIVE HINGST Physical Education Coaching Intramurals Although the academic department educates students’ minds, only through physical education are their bodies schooled. The stress of the boys’ classes centers around de- velopment of the body, while the girls are concerned more with promoting knowledge and skills. Preparing for the physical fitness tests gives the boys the physical skills and strength of body helpful for future good health and body condition. Female classes gain an under- standing of many sports and games —preparation for such popular life-time activities as swimming, table-tennis, volley- ball, and golf, all of which will be useful after graduation. For the first time, swimming was taught this year to all students for a nine week period. Not only will swimming pro- vide a healthful hobby for later years, but also the discipline learned may someday be necessary for saving a life. Through the physical skills taught only two times to the girls and three times to the boys per week for three high school years, the boys and girls of Central High School are prepared for future health and safety, as well as the enjoyment and appreciation of individual and team sports. 24 I hope there's water below! must be the thought foremost in Becky Brooke’s mind as she demonstrates the proper approach to the board to the girls in her swimming class. “It’s a bird, it’s a plane —No, it's Bob Payton enjoy- ing a bit of trampoline work during gym class. Although it appears as though these natives are executing a rain dance and looking skyward hoping for some action, they are only waiting to see which side of the net the balfis going to land during an exciting game of volleyball in gym class. 25 Here’s the heart and here’s the liver,’’ explains Mr. Dallas Queck as curious zoology students examine the carp more carefully. Science Relates Secrets of the World MR. JOHN PELLETIER Physics A modern world growing more scientifically-minded each year, demands certain basic knowledge of its principles and laws by all. Common mem- ories of students who have elected the popular science course, biology, include dissecting grasshoppers, frogs, and crayfish, experiences which aid in understanding universal scientific theories. Those interested in pursuing the basic biology course at a more detailed level may choose the one-semester courses, physiology, a study of the human system; and zoology, which involves comparisons of typical animal forms. The prospect of a year’s course in the physical development of the earth influ- ences many to elect earth science. Offered to juniors and seniors, physics and chemistry cover the analysis of the physical laws of the universe and the fundamental changes in matter. MR. IRA DUNSWORTH Biology Physiology Coaching MR. OALLAS QUECK Biology Zoology Coaching MR. HARVEY VORIS Biology Detention Supervisor 26 i ft- 0 1 i MR. WARREN CLASSON Department Head MR. FRANK GORSHE Chemistry A comfortable slouch, gazing about the room, or writing pro- fusely, all are common methods used by chemistry students while absorbing Mr. Frank Gor- she’s lecture in the lecture room. MR. DENNIS HOFFNAGLE Chemistry Earth Science Physical Education Coaching Realizing that there’s more to the human ear than just cleaning are Mr. Nick Avelchas' biology students, Beverly Brooks, Wally Will, John Caperton, and Tom Galanius as they put the different parts of the ear together in a plaster model. 27 Don't just sit there, ask some questions! demands Mr. Robert Williams after administering a psychology lecture. Social Studies Show Past and Present MISS VERA EHLERS Ancient History Medieval History World History The three required social studies courses and the many optional ones enable each CHS student to develop a greater understanding of the world around him. By taking American history in the junior year and a semester of American government and one semester of either economics or soci- ology as seniors, students receive an education of the major instruments of their society. History courses acquaint students with the past in order to provide a better understanding of the problems and ideas in the Twentieth Century. Whether through the survey course of world history or in the enrichment courses, ancient, medieval, and modern history; social studies students gain an appre- ciation of each man's part in the panorama of the story of man. The individual is stressed in the one-semester course, psychology. Through a variety of sub- jects the department gives students a broader and deeper education in the study of mankind. MR. WILLIAM FREESE American History Intramurals Coaching MR. DONALO GRENSING American History Sociology Coaching MR. THOMAS WALTERMAN American Government American History MR. ROBERT WILLIAMS Psychology Coaching 28 MR. OENZIL NELSON Department Head American Government MR. ROBERT BALLARD Sociology Physical Education Coaching No, the battle of the bulge did not take place here!” jokes Mr. William Freese as his American history students laugh as well as learn. MR. TED CURTIS American History Economics It's all clear to them!” hopes Mr. Don Grensing as he completes his explanation of the social security problem to sociology students. 29 Deciding which colors and lines are best for different shapes and sizes are Phyllis Crawford and Doris Heb- ler, both students of Adult Living. One of today's homemakers biggest problems is maintaining a good budget. CHS Foods students, Pat Schaecher and Beth Hutchison, prepare for this problem by comparing foods in the muskrat and mink lines that produce equal servings and equal nutrition, but differ in cost. Homemakers Practice Arts MISS CATHERINE DOWNING Department Head Family Life Home Economics MISS CHARLOTTE CARSON Home Economics Young Adult Living Because approximately 23 per cent of Davenport Central girls marry the first year after high school and 45 per cent are married two years after graduation, CHS’s home economics department assumes an im- portant duty. Interested girls may elect any of the three courses carried through two semesters and offer- ing two credits each, which deal particularly with the art and science of personal, home, and family living, with practical experience in such skills as clothing construction, foods and nutrition, home nursing, money management, child care, and home arts and crafts. For college bound seniors or future business girls, a young adult living course presents information about personal living, consumer education, and marriage in a manner in which girls will be able to utilize it in future situations. Family life education attempts to instill each stu- dent with understanding — of himself, his family, his friends, and his marriage. Designed to improve per- sonality, to develop leadership, to accept future re- sponsibilities, to foster wise shopping, and to improve present and future homes, home economics trains girls for the biggest career in their lives, through the belief that America will be no stronger than her home. But Moscow can’t be only two hundred miles away!” resolve these ROTC boys, Bill Eye, Dick Knuth, Ed Daasch, Dick Wulf, and Ron Johannsen as they study and plot maps. Getting a more realistic taste of Army life are these ROTC boys as they practice shooting targets at the CHS rifle range. Expert marksmen from ROTC classes are members of Central High’s Rifle Team, who “fire away” in competition with area schools. ROTC Provides Future Leaders While the academic departments prepare students for leadership through knowledge, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps enhances theory with actual practice. Past President Eisenhower once described the program as “designed and perfected to develop the qualities of leadership required in both military and civilian enterprise.” With this in mind, ROTC strives to foster patriotism by movies and discus- sions on Anti-Communist activities, good citizenship through understanding, and leadership through actual experience in commanding groups, making de- cisions, and assuming greater responsibilities in a chosen field. Additional incentives to leadership occur outside school hours through the Service Club, Officers’ Club, Rifle Team, Drill Team, and Color Guard, all integral factors aiding to satisfy the goal of the ROTC department. CAPT. CARL MORRIS Military Science and Tactics SGT. DONOVAN DARLAND Military Science and Tactics SGT. ROBERT CHIPMAN Military Science and Tactics SGT. OAVID VROOMAN Military Science and Tactics Morning hours in the Principal’s Office find Mrs. Mary Jean Lafrenz recording student’s schedules and Miss Diane Siefers compiling the daily absence list. MRS. EVA MOELLER Registrar Principal s Secretary MR. ORVILLE KAHLER Activities Director Facilities, Specialties Enrich Curriculum Only the long line of students buying tickets and supplies is missing in the Activities Office, but it gives Mr. Hollis Brown and Activities Director Orville Kahler an opportunity to check ticket sales for a Friday night game. Without the aid of certain personnel throughout the building the work of the school could not run successfully. As Registrar and principal’s secretary Mrs. Eva Moeller must schedule the classes of all students besides handling the principal’s important corre- spondence. Aiding her in the Principal’s Office are Mrs. Mary Jean Lafrenz and Mrs. Corailee Kendelsperger. In addition to handling the paper work for 1300 students and the 70 faculty mem- bers, the office staff is in charge of the lost-and- found, all school bulletins, permanent records, and attendance records. In the Attendance Office, formerly the Counsel- ing Office, Miss Marcia Clemmens, secretary, does everything from issuing late slips to making ap- pointments with college representatives. Here all excuses are returned, and the necessary bookwork which accompanies them is carried on. College bound students soon discover that in the Attend- ance Office they can secure information on many colleges and universities as well as on available scholarships. Cumulative records of the student body and graduates are kept up to date and filed here. The only CHS room where quiet prevails seven periods a day. However, the library atmosphere and excellent facilities are utilized each period as students supplement their classroom assignments and activities. Detention? Again?” groans Ron Buttgen as Miss Marcia Clemmens, Attendance Office secretary, fills out the fateful slip. Twila Kemp doesn’t need to worry; she is only scheduling a college conference. MRS. GLADYS GOSS Assistant Librarian MR. CHARLES ADAMS Head Librarian 4 . MRS. IMOGENE SANDWAY School Nurse MRS. RUTH WOOD Work Study Program MR. RONALD SHORT Driver Education 33 Keeping CHS students happy with full stomachs is the responsibility of the cafeteria staff: Fanny Longfeldt. Dorothy Longlett, Freda Kruger, Lucille Schmidt, Marg Bawden, Director Nellie Porter, Frances Tawney, June Locke, Virginia Compton, and Dorothy White. Behind the Sceners Serve Students Virgil Jacobs takes advantage of time before school to check on an assignment with Mrs. Ruth Wood, who is in charge of the Work Study pro- gram. In the Activities Office, Mr. Orville Kahler, director, and Mr. Hollis Brown, his assistant, schedule all extra-curricular events sponsored by the school in addition to operating the sup- ply and book room. Scheduling all high school activities, selling tickets for the games, taking care of supplies, planning assembly programs, and arranging the dates of club meetings en- tail much of the time of these two gentlemen. Taking care of the paperwork in the girls’ gym and accompanying the girls on the piano as they exercise are the responsibilities of Mrs. Besse Thoensen. Mrs. Verle Still is the accom- panist for the choral groups. Mrs. Imogene Sandway, school nurse, must cope with the daily mishaps and illnesses of CHS students. She is also responsible for giv- ing eye tests to all sophomores and other new students. Students are always invited to browse through the shelves in the library and to call upon the assistance of the librarians, Mr. Charles Adams and Mrs. Gladys Goss. During study halls students may go to the library to use the extensive facilities. Equally beneficial is the Placement Office, directed by Miss Pauline Cotter, in which both students and employers are aided. Located on the ground floor, the Custodians’ Office proves a busy nucleus for students de- siring a locker opened, or a ladder, or nails. The thought of mealtime easily provides an incentive for the cafeteria women to prepare delicious and varied menus for the many Cen- tral students who eat during the three lunch periods. The one semester course in driver educa- tion, taught by Mr. Ronald Short, attempts to form careful drivers by instructing students with the elements of safe driving through ac- tual practice. Before actually driving, students spend class time in preparation using the Aetna Trainer. Assisting many of these adults are student helpers. In the library or nurse’s office, high school pupils do many of the tasks. Some aid the janitors or cafeteria women after school or during lunch and are able to see more clearly the relation to the school by actually working for its benefit. Checking pulses and temperatures of students who come to school “even though I didn’t feel well, is only part of School Nurse Imogene Sandway’s day. Karen Smith is not in an argu- ing position as she awaits the to stay or not to stay decision. In their basement haven from the halls, custodians relax and plan their day. Head Custodian Eldo Schimmel relays jobs to Martin Schmidt, Jordan Nath, and Carl Schiffke. 35 ACTIVITIES Central High School offers many social and service activities designed as an opportunity for the individual student to mature socially. Activities call upon the indi- vidual to utilize his creative energies and talents, and provide an outlet for individual expression. Adult lessons in accepting responsibility, working har- moniously with others, and using talents and abilities effectively enable social maturity to be developed. It is in the planning conferences, committee meetings, workshops, and practice sessions where the individual uses these lessons; and it is in the parties, dances, con- certs, performances, and publications where the individ- uals join to participate and enjoy these activities. Bonnie Mensching BETTE PUTNAM Reigns as Queen MARY ELLEN HURLBUTT PATRICIA STOLFA ortraits By Warner-Medlin Studios. Thirteen Lucky Lovelies Vie for Title The Royal procession” winds out of the park- ing lot on its way downtown to show off the Central High beauties to afternoon shoppers. No weekend holds as much excitement for Central as Homecoming, for the football game, dance, displays, and pageantry combine to form true spirit in the stu- dent body. “Something New” characterized the atmosphere of the October 21 and 22 events. Choosing among thir- teen senior girls, nominated by their class, was not easy for the student body; but following an assembly, on the familiar wall opposite study hall A, were posted the words: Queen — Bonnie Mensching. A stately thrill swelled through the gym at the Fri- day afternoon assembly as all stood to honor their queen and her attendants, Sandra Francois, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Bette Putnam, and Patricia Stolfa. The queen knelt before her throne and Sally Neville, Dav- enport High School’s 1960 Queen who became Miss Iowa of 1960, placed the crown on Bonnie, saying, “I crown you, Bonnie Mensching, Queen of Central High School’s first Homecoming!’’ That evening the queen and her attendants graced the football field in a formal introduction and parade, similar to the procession through the downtown area earlier that afternoon. Even Central’s loss to Dubuque didn’t daunt the Homecoming spirits. The Homecoming dance was held Saturday eve- ning in the gym. As many couples danced to Scott Clark’s music, Central High School concluded its first Homecoming celebration. Which of these lovely girls will reign as Central High’s first Queen? This was the question each CHS student pon- dered before casting his ballot for one of the “lucky thirteen.” From left to right are Jill Owens, Bette Putnam, Gay Schlueter, Sandy Francois, Pam Shannon, Betsy Wallace, Sally Lager, Debbie Miller, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Kathy Neu- man, Bonnie Mensching, Pam Blunt, and Pat Stolfa. Something New Livens Something Old Posing for the press and looking like the royalty they are, Queen Bonnie Mensching and her attendants, Sandy Fran- cois, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Bette Putnam, and Pat Stolfa reign over the Homecoming aud. The cheering crowd stands as Queen Bonnie and her attendants are escorted from the football field to the “Royal Box” in the grand- stands where they can watch the game with a “bird’s eye view.” Jim McKinney escorts a beaming first lady at the climax of the fun-filled week ... the Homecoming dance. Behind them are the record album decorations, accentuating the “Something New” theme. 41 Going out of character long enough to hold still for this picture are the busy officers of Student Council. Vice-President Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, President Larry Drechsler, Secretary Betsy Wallace, and Treasurer Bob Skinner reflect the success of this year’s Council by their proud smiles. Student Council Concentrates or Working hand-in-hand in carrying on the many activities of Student Council are President Larry Drechsler and Mr. Paul Eckert, advisor, who pause and pose for the cam- eraman before entering the aud. “To promote good citizenship both in and out of school, to act as a centralizing unit on matters pertaining to the entire student body, and to ren- der whatever service possible for the betterment of Central High School,” is the purpose of Cen- tral’s Student Council states the constitution. To achieve this goal, President Larry Drechsler and Mr. Paul Eckert, advisor, meet with the Council bi-weekly to discuss current situations in the school and to solve some of its problems. The officers progress as far as outlining the major events of the week through executive con- ferences before presenting their ideas to the Coun- cil members, with the hopes that their ideas will become a reality. Arranged on a homeroom basis, each room in September elected one representative and one alternate, the former to attend the meetings and the latter to assist him and occasionally to sub- stitute for him. The morning following a meeting, representatives read and discuss the minutes with homeroom members. All suggestions made in homerooms are then directed to the Student Coun- cil; thus goes the successful circle of Central’s direct democracy. 42 Under the direction of General Chairman Bambi Spencer, a steering committee planned exciting and different schemes to raise the necessary $650 to bring a foreign student to Central High School next year. To promote interest and enthusiasm, a special assembly launched the week-long project Mon- day, January 16, highlighted by the chief speaker, Ann Pighi, this year's foreign student who was brought to CHS under the auspices of the Amer- ican Field Service. How to collect the money became the next problem. Lonnie Sehmann, chairman of the penny drop, encouraged students and teachers to drop coins from various landings on the second and third floors into bucket targets on the first floor. In the midst of a student-faculty basketball game spectators again tossed more coins at the amateur players. To demonstrate the attitude of the school administration toward the benefit, all detentions inflicted during the week were forgotten with the under-the-table” passing of a quarter for the foreign student fund. Darties, Posters, People, Projects Waves of laughter and splashing water fill the CHS pool as Student Council members join forces with the West High Student Council in celebrating the birthday of Cen- tral’s foreign student, Ann Pighi. Hey Charlie, there’s the basket! jokes Mr. Leon Kruse as he and his faculty teammates, Mr. Ted Curtis, Mr. Don Grensing, and Mr. Bob Ballard anticipate a victory over their younger rivals Steve Westrate, Neil Slezak, and Bob Lantz. “Yeah Red, Yeah Blue, Yeah Students, Pull Through! is the cry of these “foreign look- ing cheerleaders, John Harris and Bob Skin- ner, as they root for the losing students in the foreign student fund-raising basketball game. Ann Brings Touch Of Greece to CHS When Ann Pighi came to Davenport, Iowa, from Corfu, Greece, she knew not one Ameri- can nor could she speak English fluently; Ann returned to her hometown the next summer possessing a wide circle of American friends and speaking English with ease. Ann’s accumulation of knowledge as well as that of Central High School’s occurred be- cause of a joint effort —the student body was honored to welcome their foreign guest and Ann was thrilled to learn something first-hand about the United States. Sponsored by the American Field Service, Ann became a member of the Charles H. Wal- lace family, having Betsy, a senior, as her sister-for-a-year. Fitting into the early morning routine of corridor walking seems . . .. , . . . t natural for Ann as she strolls with her new friends. By binding the tie of international under- standing between the U. S. and Greece, both Ann and CHS benefited from the experience. Maybe there’s something contagious about the study habits of for- eign students, for it appears that these classmates are following Ann’s example of serious studying. The roar of the cafeteria, friendly gossiping, and munching lunch in twenty-three minutes poses no problem for Ann. Ann herself once said, Among the most pleas- ant memories I will always possess is the year I spent in the United States studying as an American, living as an American, and appreci- ating your nation as an American. And so another happy and eventful school-day at CHS ends for Ann as she leaves, laden with home- work, with her “sister Betsy Wallace. The calm before the storm —or maybe after the storm describes the BLACKHAWK Office as it appears here in an unusual state, both busy and immaculate. This haven for journalists finds Mary Ann Hall, Debbie Miller, George Pohlmann, Gary Mittel- busher, Charles Brooke, Jim Ottesen, Diane Nelson, and Carol Shumate making like the editors they are. Four Page BLACKHAWK Makes Debut With deadlines almost every other week, frenzied newspaper editors, armed with their pica sticks, typewriters, and glue-bottles, con- gregated in the BLACKHAWK Office. Their basic equipment proved invaluable when the time came to form each of the fifteen issues of the four page paper. Editor-In-Chief Jim Ottesen supervised the entire paper with concentration on his edi- torial page, where he could express his own opinions as well as those of the school. News Editors Rosalie Schrieber and Diane Nelson, Feature Editor Shirley Mesecher, and Sports Editor Bob Skinner discovered the important news items around school, assigned stories to reporters, copyread the stories, and later, wrote their headlines. Nevertheless, the guiding fac- tors behind all editors and reporters were the publications advisors, Miss Sherry Kilpatrick and Mr. Frank Tank. On the Friday mornings that the BLACK- HAWK was distributed, students made special efforts to pick up their copy describing the current events of CHS and news of their friends. Seldom are the times that Jim Ottesen, Editor-In-Chief, can lean back and take a breather. Here he enjoys one of those peaceful moments as he scans the latest edition of the BLACKHAWK. 45 When stories are late, pictures are fuzzy, and the editors are having test-itis,” sometimes the only smiling face to be found around the BLACKHAWK Office is that of the Advisor’s, Miss Sherry Kilpatrick, who doesn’t have to write stories, develop pictures, or take tests! It’s often a race against time for Bob Skinner, sports editor, who must cover last-minute athletic events just prior to deadlines. Deadline Nears, Staff Scramble Aiding in the vital link between the copy desk and the printed publication, Darrell Farnsworth, Earl Zierke, and Bob Cruchelow, members of Mr. Frank Tank’s Vocational Printing class, work on the Kelley press preparing to print another issue of the BLACKHAWK. Folding newspapers and licking postage stamps pro- vides a tasty” pastime for circulation editor, Debbie Miller. 46 A Feature editor Shirley Mesecher knows that it takes all kinds of people and all kinds of places as subject matter for good feature stories. The photographer catches her investigating the Janitor’s Office, a con- stant cause of curiosity. Looking into the future for possible stories are news editors Rosalie Schrieber and Diane Nelson who are checking through the official Future Book in the Prin- cipal’s Office. Presses Must Rol After checking the assignment sheet, this troop of smiling reporters embarks on escapades which will supply the “who’s, what's, where’s, when s, and how’s for newspaper articles. From left to right are: Sara Geiger, Carol Lee, Pam Gray, Jan Mendelsohn, Phyllis Heinz, Sherry McKinzie, Vicki Peterson, Sharon Kneipp, Sallie Stage, Bambi Spencer, Jane Narland, Diane Enemark, Jan Ramsey, Marilyn Likeness, Nancy Carlton, and Joan Christiansen. 47 '61 Yearbook Staff Concentrate Loaded down with layout sheets, copy paper, grease pencils, pictures, and Stinnet’s manual entitled How To Make A Good Yearbook In One Easy Lesson, Editor- In-Chief Marilee Teegen leaves school looking forward to another week-end of three a.m. bedtimes and empty No-Doz boxes. A scrapbook full of dance programs, an old letter sweater, a packet of forgotten report cards, and a tarnished Student Council pin — all these can provide memories of former high school days, but none contains the same pun- gent, vibrant remembrances as a school an- nual. Determined to capture the atmosphere of Central High School life in 1961, the BLACK- HAWK staff vigorously started planning their publication in September. By final deadline time in April, all staff members had contrib- uted many hours of hard work and enthusiasm in producing an accurate record of school events. Editor-In-Chief Marilee Teegen and Assist- tant Editor Patricia Stolfa set the general out- line and layouts of the book. From their ideas developed reality as the thoughts progressed to the activities, athletics, and affiliations edi- tors, who broadened the schemes into pic- tures, and then to the copy editor, who added verbal touches to the pages. To aid the entire staff in producing the an- nual, Miss Sherry Kilpatrick and Mr. Frank Tank, advisors, gave the necessary incentive and assistance to the editors. It’s a cinch that Mary Ann Hall gets the “last word where the yearbook is concerned. In her capacity as copy editor, she writes over 172 copy blocks, cutlines, and headlines for the entire publication. But, I was positive that we had already taken your pictured Assistant Editor Pat Stolfa will be the first to admit that setting up pictures and then getting them taken on time is no easy job. 48 rr 172 Pages of Individualism Life in the BLACKHAWK Office centers around cluttered desks; covering this one completely and enjoying it are Merrilee Anderson and Sue Patterson, activities editors; Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, senior editor; Carol Shumate, affiliations editor; Betsy Wallace, senior editor; and Iva Mae Allen, affiliations editor. Striking a most natural pose, this time for another photographer, is sophomore John Atkins, publications picture-taker. Although the prospect of alphabetizing the names of 1300 students would seem grueling to most Subscription Editor Jill Roberts, and Index Editors Kathy Peil and Jean Roth, seem to be enjoying their task. It’s a secret what the joke is about, but from all appearances you can be sure that Gary Mittel- busher, George Pohlmann, and Charles Brooke, make the most of their job as sports editors! 49 Combining business and pleasure are members of the advertis- ing staff, Diane Enemark, Nancy Carlton, Sallie Stage, Manager Pam Gray, Nancy Nitikman, Mary Severson, and Margo Roggen- kamp, as they enjoy a bowling game after soliciting an ad from the BOWLMOR. Behind Us All Are... Memories of the past and problems of the present are all a part of being publications advisors prove Miss Sherry Kilpatrick and Mr. Frank Tank, as they reminisce over old yearbooks. . . . and so comes to an end the story of the “Spectacular Ben Blackhawk as publications staff members take a final bow after presenting a take-off on the movie, Ben Hur, in the yearbook promotion aud. 50 Bunglers’ Bop Brings Costume Clad Scrags, bums, and tramps ambled into the Central High School gym the night of March 10 to romp at the first major senior class event, the “Bunglers’ Bop. The Senior Sock Hop, as the dance is called each year, called for cut-off jeans, long shirts, straw hats, and, of course, no shoes; however, most succeeded in outdoing the customary with such oddities as flapper costumes, “monkey” suits, and horse” outfits. Kathy Peil and Bob Hansen, general co- bunglers, planned the fun-filled evening for over 200 seniors. Among the others re- sponsible for the party were: Bette Putnam and Tom Delaney, co-chairman of decora- tions; Irma Garrett and Bob Fritzsche, co- chairmen of food; Jeff Harrington and Bill Woehrle, co-chairmen of publicity; George Pohlmann and John Schneckloth, co- chairmen of tickets; Sue Hartman and Flat, but entertaining, are Rick Ross and Phil Young, accom- panied by hobo pianist Larry Drechsler. Setting the beat and sparking the atmosphere are the “Noah-Counts, Bill Woehrle, Al Kroeger, Jerry Murphy, Ron Messmer, Don Stilbolt, and Paul Johnson, who entertain the crowd with their own renditions of popular rock-and-roll hits. Sharon Keller, co-chairmen of entertain- ment; Sharon Allbee and Barb Anger, co- chairmen of courtesy. Although normally quite well-dressed in their classes, the senior class enjoyed los- ing identity in their costumes at the last class party held entirely in their honor at CHS. Sailor girls, Confederate soldiers, one-eyed Captain Hook’s, Daisy Mae's” and even advisors join in the merrymaking at the Bunglers' Bop which turned into a costume party instead of the traditional “Sock Hop. Seated in front are the student co-chairmen, Kathy Peil and Bob Hansen, and behind them the faculty advisors. Miss Pauline Cotter and Miss Lucille Burianek. 51 Juniors Cut Loose at Jubilee Spring cottons predominated in the gym on Friday eve- ning, March 24, as the Junior Class Cotton Ball, “Junior Jubilee” got underway. Under the direction of Joan Chris- tiansen and Allen Sears, general co-chairmen, committee heads transformed the CHS gym into a gay midway. Among the committee heads were Bruce Kohler and Ann Stephens, publicity; Jan Vallem and Reggie Yates, food; Nancy Nitikman and Allan Rohlfs, tickets; Ginny Likeness and Channing Hayes, courtesy; Linda Harley and John Shepard, entertainment; Sue Price and Lonnie Seh- mann, decorations. The building may have looked like a gymnasium on the outside but once inside there was no doubt as to the carnival transformation. With a ferris wheel and bill- boards, cotton candy and hot dogs, dancing and chap- erones, the Junior Class Party well fit the title Jubilee.” Careful planning and lots of help make Joan Christiansen's . . . 52 Committee heads Dave Cassling, Stan Berger, Sharon Holst, Vicki Puck, Melinda Dismer, Sue Fries, Tom Fritszche, and Jim Carlton pose before the colorful murals at the sophomore class party. Sophs Hop Junks, Head for Orient Japanese lanterns and wind chimes shone and jingled in the CHS gym the evening of September 27 as the “Newcomers” were of- ficially welcomed to high school. A steering committee composed of ten sophomores di- rected plans for the dance and selected Joanne Rohwedder and Jim Richard as general co- chairmen. The remaining members were in charge of decorations, program, refreshments, and entertainment, under the general direc- tion of Miss Pauline Cotter, faculty advisor. The program co-chairmen, Dave Cassling and Melinda Dismer, chose Eddy McCormick as master of ceremonies, who in turn introduced Ginny Boldt, tap dancer, Dick Mueller and Jim Turner, guitarists, Vicki Morris, pantomim- ist, and a combo featuring Dave Cassling, Larry Drechsler, Bill Woehrle, and Van Schwartz. Jim Carlton and Tom Fritszche, re- freshments chairmen; and Sue Fries and Sharon Holst, courtesy chairmen; furthered the feeling of friendship extended to over 400 sophomores at their first class function. The “brains” behind the successful party are Joanne Roh- wedder and Jim Richard, general co-chairmen, and faculty advisor, Miss Pauline Cotter. 53 A CAPPELLA.

Central Singers Lend Musical Note All-State, here we come! Members of the Girls’ Sex- tette, Kathy Peil, Debbie Miller, Carol Shumate, Imo- gene White, Sue Hartman, and Sharon Keller, warm up with, Mr. Milton Anderson, director, as they prepare for coming events. Those who attended classes in the lower west cor- ridors of the school during periods when music groups were rehearsing discovered enjoyment accompanying their studies, for the sounds emitted from Room 62 provided a variety of vocal music many hours every day. With the reputation as one of the finest vocal groups in the state, CHS strives to maintain its high standards through continued practice and achievements. Directed by Mr. Milton Anderson, the choruses and a Cappella prepared for numerous concerts and con- tests throughout the year. Sixteen musicians from the a Cappella performed in the All-State Music Festival in Des Moines on November 25 and 26, following vigorous elimination contests. Strains of hits from “Carousel,” Kiss Me Kate,” and “Music Man” echoed from the music room when the 72 member a Cappella rehearsed for the annual November Pops Concert. Soon the lighter music assumed a more serious vein as all 350 members of the combined choruses pre- pared to present Handel’s Messiah.” “Music, Music, Music” surrounded all areas inhabited by the a Cap- pella during January and February as the vocal groups practiced for the 1961 Minstrel Show and again for the Spring Concert. 54 ADVANCED CHORUS.

Although it's not quite like Maria Tall- chief at Carnegie Hall, Central students are equally entertained by sophomore ballerina, Irene Blaser. Musicians Make Music, Music, Music “Music, Music, Music” filled the CHS audi- torium February 17 and 18 at the 1961 Min- strel Show, directed by Mr. Forrest Mortiboy and sponsored by the Band and Orchestra Parents’ Club. As quickly as the lights dimmed, the cur- tains opened to strains of “I Got Rhythm” and ushered in an hour and a half of an enjoyable, care-free mood; sparked by lively wit and fine music. With Larry Drechsler, master of cere- monies, and John Shepard, stage hand, pro- viding humorous antics between scenes, the 21st annual show seemed to fly by in no time at all. Unique instrumental numbers, chuckle- provoking pantomimes, and dance and vocal solos added further spice to the show. From the a Cappella’s renditions of Round and Round” through “September Song” and Com- ing Thru The Rye” until the finale from The Sound Of Music,” the outstanding sounds and sights proved that the CHS auditorium was indeed alive with the sound of music.” Straight from hobohemia,” Master of Ceremonies Larry Drechsler and Tony Swartz cut-up for their laughing audi- ence between musical numbers. 56 Orchestra Accompanies Activities The sweetest music this side of third floor” nay well describe the product of Central High School’s orchestra. Under the direction of Vlr. Rayburn Pierce, the group of 44 met laily fourth period to practice for the many jrograms sponsored by the music department. The Pops Concert, the “Messiah,” and the Spring Concert —all these projects enlist the aid of the orchestra as well as the vocal music ind band groups. However, the CHS orchestra mjoys a special distinction of participating in ‘vents of a different nature. At the Home- :oming Aud, Queen Bonnie Mensching was jscorted to her throne accompanied by the trains of the orchestra. A small subdivision of :he group, the chamber orchestra, heralded the najor school plays. Contests provide opportunities for each nember to view his accomplishments in rela- :ion to those of similar talents; thus he will be able to master his individual selection which vill in turn increase the ability of the group is a whole. Peeking in on a practice room early in the morning, we find some members of the string section, Merrilee Anderson, Ruth Miller, Linda Gannett, Sharon Holst, and Kathy Neuman, preparing for state contest under the watchful eye of Director Rayburn Pierce.

Members March, Make Music in New' Present at many high school events, athletic and musical, the Central High Band has marched and played through a football season, numerous con- tests, and the many musical productions of the school. Conducted by Mr. Forrest Mortiboy, the group has received outstanding commendation for excep- tional talent. Besides providing background music for school functions and thus aiding CHS, band members aid themselves through the skills and un- derstanding achieved in such a group. Nearly 70 played their instruments in each band concert presented by Central. From marching in the Mardi Gras Parade to sitting through the Spring Concert, members, attired in striking new uniforms of navy blue and white, continued performing with excellence. Smaller groups separated from the larger band occasionally to participate in special shows, among them the Minstrel Show, Pops Concert and the Christmas “Messiah.” To enable the band to find its place alongside other such groups, various contests are staged throughout the Midwest.

Snowed Inn Sets Scene for Spree Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who will reign as King of all? , wonder these thirteen Spree candidates. Left to right are Larry Drechsler, John Fey, Pete Rasmussen, Jim McKinney, Bruce Jones, George Pohlmann, Rick Ross, Otto Frei, Bob Payton, Jim Ottesen, Charles Brooke, Tom Delaney, and Steve Westrate. Central High spinsters placed their boys high on pedestals November 19, the one day of the year when CHS males could play the “Prince Charming.” The twentieth annual Spinsters’ Spree, spon- sored by the Girls’ Recreation Association, not only turned over permission to the girls to invite their dates but also insisted that they furnish transportation, buy corsages, and treat their fellows to dinner after the dance. To accentuate the Snowed Inn” theme, GRA members transformed the gym into a cool Northern scene and the basement into a tiny Swiss chalet. Ruth Miller, GRA president, su- pervised the event in her position as general chairman. As a special honor to the masculine world, the girls selected James “Rick” Ross to reign over the dance as King, assisted by Lawrence Drechsler, James McKinney, George Pohlmann, and Peter Rasmussen. But all too soon the tables turned and the fellows, slightly wiser because of the turn-about experience, found themselves waiting hand-and-foot on their spin- ster friends once again. Italian Farce Brings Roar from Aud When a capacity crowd of students filled the auditorium November 10, they faced two hours of excitement, pathos, and laughter, for the All-School Play, “The Servant of Two Masters” by Carlo Goldoni, was getting underway. To build up the reserve funds of the speech department, two performances were held this year, a dress rehearsal open to students in the morning and the final show for the public in the evening. Not only did the show meet its financial burdens but it also provided a great deal of en- joyment for the audience. Directed by Mr. James Barlow, and assisted by Iva Mae Allen, the farce told the tale of a bewildered servant, played by Jim DeReus, who went to work for two Italians at the same time and caused much confusion. By the end of the play, though, all wrongs had been righted and all lovers were re-united. Larry Geiswite and Mary Ann Hall with Rick Ross and Kathy Peil played the major couples. Other cast members included Joyce Godwin, Tom Delaney, Don Janosek, Don Stibolt, Jeff Harrington, Dick Fey, Mike Johnston, and Steve Mills. Why, it’s almost like acting! ex- claims Christel Henning as she and other members of this unique “crew flutter about the stage changing scenery between acts. Many hours of hard work and “near scratches went into this nerve racking sword fight between Beatrice, Mary Ann Hall, disguised as a man, and Silvio, played by Rick Ross, who are supposedly vying for the love of Clarice, played by Kathy Peil who stands watching in the background. Smeraldino and Pantalone, played by Joyce Godwin and Tom De- laney, marvel at the sudden intrusion of the servant Trufeldino, played by Jim DeReus.

Directors found an opportunity to learn the art and technique of directing, while actors tested their ability in the dramatic arts. Many parts, large and small, were open in the one act plays to those who tried out. After each pre- sentation (three or four plays generally constitute a festival) critics from a local college gave their analysis of each student’s performance. As an incentive to each participant to do his best, awards were given to the best actor, best ac- tress, and best director. Winners in all three cate- gories in the Winter Play Festival participated in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,” which was re-shown with different stars for the Senior Class Play. Other skits ranged from light-hearted come- dies to a supernatural-type tragedy. Broad smiles of accomplishment are justly worn by Chuck Han- son and Iva Mae Allen as they reminisce over a playbook after being awarded Best Actor and Best Actress of the Winter Festi- val play, Our Hearts Were Young And Gay. If Gretchen Ross, seated, appears ill in this picture, it just might be that she really is! In Our Hearts Were Young And Gay she is stricken with the measles and fearing that she will be prevented from leaving the boat, tries to hide her affliction” from medical inspector Dick Fey, Jann Ault, and student director, Sherry Thomas. Although Pam Reida has collapsed on the sofa, the complacent grins on the faces of Gretchen Ross and Larry Geisewite indicate that her antics are only a part of the Play Festival. 64 Sweat shirts, bobby socks, and bermudas illustrate the versatility of costumes worn to the many evening rehearsals. Here, Phil Young, Ann Pighi, and Mary Ann Hall, all playing French roles, recite their lines simultaneously. So this is Paris! marvels Iva Mae Allen, left, as she and Kathy Pei I stare at stage left while rehearsing for the Senior Class Play. Seniors Play, Hearts Young, Gay The hearts of the audience were indeed light as the lights of the auditorium were dimmed to usher in the first senior play of CHS, Cornelia Otis Skinner’s and Emily Kimbrough’s Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Presented April 28, the play starred Kathy Peil as Cornelia and Iva Mae Allen as Emily. Additional cast members who shared the escapades of the two girls who went to Europe for the first time were: Charlotte Erickson, Betsy Wallace, Mary Ann Hall, Ann Pighi, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Rick Ross, Charles Hanson, Phil Young, Gary Mittelbusher, Cay Dannacher, Barb Dan- ielson, Tom Delaney, Tony Swartz, Larry Geisewite and Steve Lindblom. Student Director Cindy Steckel aided Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist in directing the event which custo- marily includes only seniors in the various committees. From a ship’s cabin to a hotel room in France, Cor- nelia and Emily found their happiness continually being interrupted by such problems as the measles, an unusual Frenchman, and bedbugs. The happiness of the spectators failed, however, to be daunted by the sufferings of those on stage, for the spirit of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay well filled the auditorium. As the cast took their bow and the curtains closed, 100 participating seniors breathed sighs of relief and pleasure as one more senior activity ended. Breathers” are almost more interesting than the rehearsals themselves it appears here as Barb Danielsen, Cay Dannacher, Steve Lindblom, Charlotte Erickson, Betsy Wallace, Gary Mittelbusher, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Cindy Steckel, Chuck Hanson, Kathy Peil, Iva Mae Allen, Rick Ross, Ann Pighi, Mary Ann Hall, Phil Young, Larry Geisewite, and Tom Delaney take a break and relax on the stage apron. Some last minute advice and encouragement goes out to individual events speakers from Coach James Barlow, as they pre- pare for the state contest. Clustered in the Pub” Room are FIRST ROW: Ruth Hatch, Carol Jacobs, Don Janosek, Alan Rohlfs. SECOND ROW: Sue Patterson, Christel Henning, Gay Nelson, Tam McClure, Bill Evans.

Central Speakers Talk Their Wa; Don Janosek and Dave Close, state finalists, try to give some helpful hints to Iva Mae Allen, state champion in dramatic declamation. For those unaware of the excitement centered around public speaking events, Room 16 means noth- ing in particular; but to the hard-working orators of CHS, the “pub” room provides the stimulating atmos- phere necessary for their endeavors. Evidence of the 1960-61 debate and discussion topic, “Resolved: That The United Nations Should Be Significantly Strengthened,” abounds in the books, messages, and index cards found throughout the room and in the lockers of this year's debate squad: Sue Patterson, Alan Rohlfs, David Loren, Tom Fritzsche, Ruth Hatch, Carol Jacobs, Bill Beal, Dave Katz, and Van Schwartz. Extemporaneous speaking requires continual re- search on current world topics in contrast to original oratory, which necessitates detailed study in one field. In areas like radio speaking, participants must prepare a speech in a very short period, yet those engaged in activities similar to the declamations must memorize their presentations. Interpretive reading, an art which hovers between the debate and dramatics depart- ments, determines to develop both better reading and added appreciation. 66 Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative is • .

The anticipation of three senior girls, Merrilee Anderson, Carol- lee Jones, and Debbie Miller, was es- pecially strong for the ROTC depart- ment had initiated a plan to delay announcing which of the girls would become Honorary Cadet Colonel until the middle of the dance. Before the Mil Ball, the finalists were honored at the annual Officers’ Banquet held at the Blackhawk Hotel. Then it was off into the cold winter night to the dance. There, at inter- mission, the master of ceremonies stood before the hundreds of couples and put an end to the long-awaited question as he named Debbie Miller Honorary Cadet Colonel. Lights, Camera, Action! John Carmody, Debbie Miller, Carollee Jones, Merrilee Anderson, and Martin Andresen pose for television cameras after appearing on Pat Sundine's television program, “Especially For You,” the afternoon of the Ball. It was a hard decision when the ROTC boys chose three of these ten Central sweethearts to reign over the Military Ball. Showing off their prettiest smiles are from front to back Barbara Anger, Pamela Blunt, Pamela Shannon, Car- ollee Jones, Elizabeth Wallace, Sally Lager, Gretchen Schueter, Merrilee Anderson, Jill Owens, and Debbie Miller. ortrait by Warner Medlin Studios 69 Escorted by Jim Tetrick Carollee Jones makes a pretty picture as she glides through the saber arch to the platform where she will be commissioned as Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colonel. Bouquets of flowers, dimmed lights, music by Scott Clark, and swirling couples will always be cherished as wonderful memories for Hon- orary Cadet Colonel Debbie Miller and prob- ably for her dancing partner Les Mooney, too! Keeping a watchful eye on their counterpart are Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colonels Car- ollee Jones and Merrilee Anderson. 70 ROTC Program Makes Final Salute Aiding himself, his school, and his country is each member of the Re- serve Officers Training Corps. All ROTC boys find an opportunity for self- improvement, physical and mental, in the program. Besides learning to be leaders, all develop understanding of human nature in general, of getting along with others. Through participation in the Serv- ice Club, Officers Club, Rifle Team, Drill Team, and Color Guard, the pro- gram provides aid for many school- sponsored activities. The Principal’s Day Parade and the Federal Inspec- tion form a year-long incentive to mem- bers. Its most popular project, the Military Ball, attracts many individuals not involved in, but interested in the program. Most important of all its facets, ROTC prepares young men for intelli- gent citizenship, responsible positions, and further military training. Great patience, precision, and pride has been put into Central’s ROTC Drill Team composed of James Tetrick, Drill Master, Kenneth Lange, Channing Hayes, Bill Eye, Bob Fritzsche, Lloyd Kittlaus, Dar- rell Longlett, Ron Morgan, Bill Walker, Keith Schroder, Sam DuVall, Terry O'Leary, and Les Mooney. “Ready, Aim, Fire!” Members of CHS Rifle Team posing for the photographer and putting him in a very precarious position are Bob Fritzsche, Les Mooney, Darrell Longlett, Sam DuVall, James Tetrick, Terry O'Leary, Keith Schroder, and Channing Hayes. 71 Prospects of a new formal and the hopes of Mother’s approval make Carol Shumate, senior co-chairman, beam as . . . . . .

That Special Night -The Prom Junior and senior committee chairmen join together to make the prom a memorable dance for all students. In charge of planning are FIRST ROW: Debbie Miller, Jill Roberts, Sallie Stage, Sandy Mensing. SECOND ROW: Jim McKinney. Connie Mohr, Mary Lu Weiss, Bruce Kohler. THIRD ROW: Bob Payton, Mike Van Zele, Dave Risley, Bill McFarlin. A wilted corsage pressed between the pages of a scrapbook, a dance program strung from a bedroom mirror, and scores of small mem- ories add up to a night long remembered, the Junior-Senior Prom. Led by General Chairmen Carol Shumate, senior, and Channing Hayes, junior, the dance drew the efforts of the two upper classes in holding a last co-operative event at CHS. Among the committee members involved were: Charme Froehner, Rosemary Koch, Bill McFarlin, Debbie Miller, Bob Payton, Jill Ro- berts, Phil Young, and Jim McKinney, seniors; Bruce Kohler, Sandra Mensing, Connie Mohr, Dave Risley, John Shepherd, Sallie Stage, Mike Van Zele, and Mary Lu Weiss, juniors. Mr. Paul Still, assisted by Mrs. Mary Imhoff, served as faculty advisor. Dimmed lights, fluffy formals, and soft mu- sic provided an appropriate setting for the last high school social venture of the seniors and the final party which would honor the current student body. This particular farewell, how- ever, indicated to the seniors the conclusion of their social events at Central and to all the ending of a “night to remember.” 72 Round The Clock Scholars Score Upon those who succeed in achieving high honors in scholastic endeavors, Cen- tral High School bestows special honors. National recognition also reaches CHS stu- dents. Honor rolls are posted every nine weeks — first honors go to those earning straight A honors and second honors to those with three A’s and one B in full credit subjects. For seniors who accumulate A averages in 22 out of 24 full credit subjects, first hon- ors at graduation are awarded with the privilege of wearing gold cords at com- mencement. Eighteen A's out of 24 credits enable graduates to receive second honors and red cords. Twenty four seniors received honors for outstanding performance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Charles Brooke, Philip Senger, and Patricia Stolfa were named finalists in the National Merit program. In describing the program, John M. Stalnaker, president, stated: “However, we also strive to foster the pursuit of ex- cellence among all highly able students. Back in a minute . . . speaks The Student's desk as chemistry, Pepsi, logarithms, and a chocolate bar wait patiently for completion. Principal Roger Berry offers congratulations to Central’s National Merit Scholarship finalists Pat Stolfa, Philip Senger, and Charles Brooke. Definitely not in character, the four dunces are in reality the four seniors with straight A averages during their high school careers, referred to as the “No. l’s.” 73 AFFILIATIONS Bringing friends together to pursue common interests, combining recreation with accomplishment, and applying democratic practices; all are among the purposes of affil- iations at Central High School. Through meetings and activities within the clubs, a member realizes not only his own individual potenti- ality, but those of others as they combine in group effort. Because heading a group and learning to lead indi- viduals is a facet of club participation, those who exhibit leadership qualities and initiative are given the oppor- tunities to plan and conduct meetings under the guid- ance of faculty advisors. NFL Awards Degrees of Distinction Literally a “key club,” the National Forensic League selects a number of qualified public speakers to wear the silver key of the honorary association as demonstration of the merit achieved. Once a month members met to con- sider applications (speakers become eligible after securing 25 contest points) and to plan activities, among them a Christmas party, numerous con- tests, and a spring banquet. With Mr. James Barlow as advisor, the club awarded its highest honor, the Degree of Distinction, to Sue Pat- terson and Allan Rohlfs through their national affiliation. In this manner members increased their skill while striving for national NFL awards. FIRST ROW: Vicki Peterson, Jan Ramsey, Chris Henning, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Iva Mae Allen.

Publications Banquet Brings Oh’s In recognition of your outstand- ing interest and contribution in the field of journalism, you are cor- dially invited to join the CHS chap- ter of Quill and Scroll, an interna- tional honor society for high school journalists,” reads a message sent to a number of Central High stu- dents. Unlike the other honor societies of CHS, Quill and Scroll, of which Miss Sherry Kilpatrick is advisor, accepts no minimum point basis for membership but rather depends entirely on the quality of work put forth on school publications. The climax of each student’s high school journalism training occurs in May at the publications banquet when the 1961 annual is unveiled and a bound copy of the year's newspapers is presented to Princi- pal Roger Berry —a fitting conclu- sion to a busy journalistic year. In an attempt to guarantee the successful ness of the Publications Ban- Suet, Newspaper Feature Editor Shirley Mesecher, Newspaper Editor-in- hief Jim Ottesen, and Yearbook Editor-in-Chief Marilee Teegen confer with Emily Post on etiquette tips. 77 FIRST ROW: Barb Danielsen, Bonnie Taylor, Mary Ann Hall, Cay Dannacher, Marilee Teegen, Cindy Steckel, Joan Christiansen, Jann Ault. SECOND ROW: Iva Mae Allen. Kathy Pei I, Mary Ellen Hurlbutt, Chuck Hanson, Rick Ross, Steve Mills, Margo Rog- genkamp, Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist. Thespians Not Gables, Garbos, But Gooc As a reward for outstanding work in the field of dramatics, students who spend more than 100 hours aiding school theater produc- tions receive invitations to join Chapter 510 of the National Thespian Society. At winter and spring initiations the officers and present members welcome new members into the or- ganization both formally and informally. All belonging to the honorary society are entitled to wear the Thespian pin and to receive a monthly theater magazine. Besides the ma- terial honors comes the distinction of mem- bership in a national group that has produced many “greats” in the theater world, a group with a distinctive purpose in its organization — promoting a sense of refinement in expres- sion on the stage. Thespian officers Mary Ann Hall, Betsy Wallace, and Cay Dan- nacher light the candles to of- ficially open the initiation ban- quet. Developing the future leaders for marketing and distribution, the Distributive Education Club of America serves as a training ground beyond class work. Every two weeks its eight members met to plan projects and contest work. Bowling games, picnics, and par- ties evolved from such discussions. At Thanksgiving they presented food and a turkey to a needy Dav- enport family. Since DECA is a national organization, members were eligible for state contests, the stepping stones to national recog- nition. By participating in DECA, business students increased aware- ness of problems present in the marketing and distributing field. FIRST ROW: Linda Hachmann, Carol Deem, Bev Hamilton.

Future Teachers Learn the Ropes “Coffee, tea, or milk?” ask Future Teachers Sherry Roberts, Sharon Allbee, Phyllis Heinz, and Jean McWhorter as they pour for Mr. Donald Kampfer and Miss Dorothy Blackman. Twenty-five CHS students who aspire to the teaching profession met twice a month and participated in the activities of a club devoted to their interests, the Future Teach- ers of America. Directed by Mr. Charles Adams, FTA drew special speakers such as Mr. Roger Berry, CHS principal, and Mr. James D. Spencer, principal of Lincoln School, and outstanding movies. In return for teas held in the faculty's honor, various teachers formed panel discussions which they presented before the club. Prospective Teachers’ Day at Mary- crest College attracted the inter- ested members. Of all the bene- fits achieved, Mr. Adams believes that the guidance factors — dis- tributing information, learning about a profession, and meeting those interested in the same field — are most helpful to the Future Teachers. RO Scientists Get National Charter With a new spurt of energy, members of the Science Club were determined to enliven the activ- ities of their organization and suc- ceeded in doing so. When Principal Roger Berry presented a national charter to Jim Miller, president, and Mr. Frank Gorshe, advisor, and gave membership cards to the 20 members, the goals of the club were fulfilled. By becoming a chartered mem- ber of the Future Scientists of America, Davenport Central re- ceives national recognition. Field trips, discussions, and speakers en- abled the junior scientists to in- crease their understanding and appreciation of their world. The Science Club laid a Strong President Jim Miller and Secretary Carol Herington experiment with styro- foundation for all future students !Ku etemKP'ing '° ,epr0duCe ,he m0leCU‘ar s',uc,u,e of a,oms °' ,he interested in this field at CHS.

Aiding the instructors as the guiding factor of the Reserve Of- ficers’ Training Corps, members of the Officers’ Club serve as models which cadets of lower rank strive to imitate. The rank of second lieu- tenant makes a cadet eligible for membership in this honorary group of the Corps. Highlighting the years' activities was their planning and sponsorship of the Military Ball. The contributions of ROTC seep into many unrelated school func- tions through their Service Club. Members of this club raise flags, check coats, sells programs at ath- letic events and make themselves generally useful around CHS when- ever they are called upon to do so. Sergeant Robert Chipman, advisor to the cadets, directs a program which keeps the Service Club busy at all times. 82 CYC Builds Christian Character While all CHS clubs are formed with the welfare of their members in mind, the major purpose of the Christian Youth Club is to bet- ter the character of each member. Speakers, discussions, and films were employed to this end. With Mr. Roger Berry as advisor, the club operated on a small but efficient scale this year. Invitations were extended to all students to attend weekly meetings held in the aud; such attendance proved a source of inspira- tion to the growth of each student, a growth not to last just during a meeting, but all through life.

D-Men Sell, Yell For CHS An honorary organization in the sense that it includes only athletes who have earned a varsity letter, D-Men serves as a nucleus by which team spirit and sportsmanship are circulated through- out the student body. Displaying new vigor as a CHS club, the group under the direction of Mr. James Fox organized a special cheering section for basketball games to generate enthusiasm within the student body, in addition to sponsoring several pep auds. D-Men not only sold pep megaphones and buttons to the students, but sold blue and gold membership insignias to members in order to be identified as D-Men. In April the club sponsored a Splash Party in the swimming pool, un- der the direction of President Charles Brooke. Athletic news was disseminated to club members and the student body by using a bulletin board in the main hall. D-Men Steve Lindblom, John Kessler, Bob Lantz, Don Krebs, and Charles Brooke keep students informed of athletic activities with their bulletin board in the main hall. � . ■: BMiWV Along with the new swimming pool at CHS came the opportunity for girls to form a special club, christened Na- tare, which in Latin means to swim.” More specifically, Natare is a synchro- nized swimming club through which participants elect officers, study skills in weekly practice sessions, and per- form in a spring water show. Soon members turned natural ability and persevering interest into a unique tal- ent at CHS. Point your toes, “Don't gurgle, Smile, comes advice to these Natare members pol- ishing up a routine for their water show.

GRA Spinsters Sponsor Spree Monday mornings find GRA officers, Gay Schlueter, Jean Roth, Bette Putnam, Audrey Randell, and Ruth Miller in a board meeting to plan the week’s agenda. At the GRA kick-off meeting new girls were introduced to the objectives of the largest Central High organization; to the five elected officers, Presi- dent Ruth Miller, Vice-President Bette Putnam, Secretary Aud- rey Randell, Treasurer Jean Roth, Program Chairman Gay Schlueter, and to two new ap- pointed officers, Students’ In- tra-mural Co-ordinator Carol Hachmann, and Publicity Di- rector Cay Dannacher. At the same time, advisors Miss Ge- nieve Hingst and Miss Marjorie Holderness briefed members on the point system, through which participants may earn small and large letters, a state pin, and a GRA ring, the high- est honor award. To promote better sports- manship among area high schools, the girls participated in “playdays, which were inter- school athletic programs. 86 In the midst of plans for the Spinsters Spree, sponsored by GRA, members took time out to picnic at their first party of the year. Shortly after the Spree girls listened to a Bel- gian Girl Guide leader, and former student, Sally Neville, now Miss Iowa. Along with winter came many more activ- ities— the annual Christmas party, roller skating, bowling, and swimming. One February evening members came cos- tumed as their Secret De- sires.” Combining with Tri-Y, GRA officers planned the April style show; then sophomores took charge of several playdays to welcome junior high students. May signaled the end of a fun- filled year with the election of officers and the annual ban- quet. Winning costumes at the Secret Desires party were worn by Jean Roth, Vicki Puck, Sue Patterson, Judy Stromfield, Merrilee Anderson, and Ruth Miller. Show, Secret Desires, Sports FIRST ROW: L.

Those interested in art are afforded the oppor- tunity to participate in extra-curricular activities while making use of their skills and adding to their knowledge of the practice of art. The officers and the faculty advisor, Mr. James Conoway, pre- pared varied programs of speakers, films, demon- strations, and trips to exhibits which enlarged their understanding of the fine arts. Through a number of pictures and displays in the corridors and study halls members spread their works be- fore the rest of the school. In this way culture enters the school life of each CHS student.

Professionals Relate Achievements Pro’s, Con’s, and secrets of the television trade are related to club members by local television announcer Jim Boyd at one of the monthly meetings. Although the dramatic productions in- volve grease paint, wigs, and costumes, meetings of the Dramatics Club are rela- tively free from such external qualities. Speakers, demonstrations, and parties sup- plied the primary substance to most meet- ings, with refreshments, laughter and fun equally entering the monthly meetings. Under the supervision of Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist, programs featuring talent of CHS (and an occasional exchange with W6st) gave members the opportunity to improve their skills and to criticize con- structively the work of the others. When speakers such as Miss Carol Koelle, a graduate of Davenport High who suc- ceeded in theatre work in New York, and a television announcer for WOC, told the events leading up to their achievements in dramatics, members were able to dis- cern the possibilities and hardships ahead of them because of their training through the Dramatics Club. 90 Case Of Nobody Sleeps,” with Jane Johnston, Gail Ander- son, Sherry McKinzie, Chuck Hanson, and Iva Mae Allen bring many chuckles and nods of approval as they entertain club members with their comical skit. ncourage Dramatists-To-Be FIRST ROW: Sandy Schultz, Lynn Bollman, Shelley Handler, Pam Stone, Tom Delaney, Bonnie Taylor, Barb Beiter, Penny Goetz.

Librarians Learn by Experience Each library aid attends the weekly meeting of the Library Club in order to familiarize himself further with the library and with library skills. In a classroom-type situation the 14 members participate in meetings each Tuesday morning at which Mr. Charles Adams, advisor, teaches the students the more advanced skills of library work. By participating in the discussions and by delivering speeches, library aids earn one- quarter credit. The same members also devote one period each day in the library and therefore gain practical experience be- yond the theoretical class work. By giving up free time to aid others in the usage of the library, these workers aid the librar- ians in maintaining a high standard of efficiency. By setting up displays and exhibits, such as the Easter one President John Breinich puts finishing touches on, Library Club members point out books corresponding with the seasons and holidays to all who use the school library. 92 Speakers, Slides Bring Spain to CHS Gay and swirling pinatas characterized the meetings of Spanish Club this year. With Mrs. Cheryl Whiteman as advisor and over 40 Spanish students as members, the organization brought Mexican and Spanish influences into the lives of all interested by means of parties, slides, and speakers. From Guadalajara, Mexico, came Eliseo Marquez to tell the club members of the life and activities of a modern Mexican. Slides of the same country were shown by Judy Smith, an example of how willing members were to make the meeting more interesting. At the festive Christmas party, a fiesta complete with pinata and refresh- ments, members sang Spanish carols and realized that their foreign language training through club membership had increased from the basic Como esta usted?” Breaking the traditional pinata,” filled v ith presents and candy, brings thrills and eventual spills to Spanish Club members at their annual Christmas party.

With a membership of over 80, the French Club at- tempted to bring an understanding and appreciation of the France of 1961 to French students. Guest speakers formed the core of entertainment for a majority of the meetings. Among them were: Marsha Brubaker, who had just returned from a years’ stay in France; Kathy Neuman, who showed slides of her family's recent trip to Europe; and Ann Pighi, foreign student, who told of life in her homeland Greece. In mid-spring members joined students of the other languages in the annual language club picnic. The group was guided by Miss Dorothy Blackman who through her personal experiences helped to bring an extra touch of French culture into the club.

Commitum Romanorum Probes Ancieni No toga-clad or olive-wreathed members inhabit the Activities Room on the days of Latin Club, for participants in the “Com- mitium Romanorum approach their club with much seriousness of purpose. Mr. Elihu Cooper, advisor to the group, believes that Latin Club is an integral part of the study of Latin; the members too, support this theory by their exceptional attendance. To further understand the workings of the Roman Empire, the offi- cers chose titles similar to those of Roman government officials. Through discussions and lectures, widely varied aspects of lan- guage, people, and customs are elicited. Most important of all is the knowledge gathered and applied to the modern world. Even Latin in a Study Hall atmosphere can be interesting! President Lloyd Kittlaus keeps his Latin Club audience entertained and enthralled during a monthly meeting. 96 Conducting his advanced classes with college work in mind, Mr. Elihu Cooper, Latin Club advisor and Latin teacher, tries to in- still in his students not only an understanding, but an appreciation for the subject. 3ast, Relates It to Present Era FIRST ROW: Kathleen Milem, Nancy Nitikman, Barbara Johnson, Lori Meier, Sharon Holst, Arlene Simmons, Tam Duggleby.

With the aid of Mr. Ronald Maertens, the officers planned the celebration in true German fashion with folk dances, marzipan, and a root beer drinking contest. With activities planned to increase stu- dents’ understanding of the country and people whose language they are learning, the officers arranged for speakers, discus- sions, and travel movies. Singing German songs, playing German games, and acting in German spoofs, members succeeded in learning that all study was not dull and that human nature, regardless of national- ities, is pretty much the same everywhere.

Carnival Kicks-off Tri-Y Year A Carnival Kick-off introduced 200 Central High girls to the activities of the sophomore, junior, and senior chapters of Tri-Y. With the aid of clowns (the officers), entertainment, and a decorated auditorium new members began taking active parts in their club from the start. Before too many weeks had passed, all chapters joined together in planning the an- nual Christmas party. As the name hints, students at the “Apple Polishers’ Party” presented Mrs. Carolynn Link and Miss Vera Ehlers, Tri-Y advisors, each an apple and a corsage. A winter dance with a candyland theme drew many members to Fellowship Hall at St. John’s Church. Holy Week services proved a challenge to the ingenuity of chairmen. Plans for the April style show, co-sponsored by Tri-Y and GRA, overlapped many of the plans for Holy Week services. Another dance, the Klem, held April 29, took many worth- while hours from committee members also. Climaxing a year of busy, fun-filled days was the Rose Banquet. An air ot solemnity prevails over Holy Week services, April 27-30, as Tri-Y members join with local ministers in carry- ing on devotional services. This particular morning stu- dent speakers, Nancy Carlton and Larry Drechsler listen as Reverend Ackman from St. John’s Methodist Church delivers the message 99 FIRST ROW: Liz Gottlieb, Linda Harley, Starr Wayt, Joan Christiansen, Ann Stephens, Judy Hoinski, Chris Burnaugh, Jan Val- lem, Nancy Nitikman, Darlene Hirstein.

Not only do athletics bind the individual students to- gether with school spirit, but they also promote sportsman- ship and instill a competitive spirit within each student. For the spectator, watching a sport is like viewing a living drama, the opposition of forces fighting for an ideal — the tradition of their school. For the participant, ath- letics enables him to release his physical and mental energies and to continually strive for self-improvement. Inexperience, Injuries Defea The 1960 version of the Davenport Blue Devils experienced a disappointing season as Central High's first athletic representatives. Even skillful coaching, long hours of practice, and remarkable pluck could not overcome the double misfortune of inexperi- ence and injuries. The Imps fought through a tough schedule, managing to win none of nine but making creditable showings on all occasions. After stumbling through early games, the gridders put forth their best efforts for such worthy opponents as Rock Island, Moline, and Iowa City. The contest with conference champions, Rock Island, was similar to eight others scorewise, but proved markedly different gamewise. In the initial periods Blue Devil alertness held the mighty Rocks scoreless. A Davenport touchdown drive was squelched by the clock, and the halftime score stood 0-0. Second half fumbles and defensive errors accounted for the thirteen point margin at the sound of the final gun. In struggles with Moline and Iowa City, the underdog Blue Devils gained a pair of moral victories. A third quarter lead over the most feared team in the Midwest changed to a Moline victory only in the final quarter. Take away three relapses by the Imps, and Iowa City, mythical State Champions, would have been forced to settle for a scoreless tie. It must be said that these 1960 Blue Devils, while playing only well enough to lose, gave some teams a shaking that came close to an upset, and provided student and adult fans with reason to anticipate Central High football games. And the words of Head Coach Jim Fox typify the attitude of loyal Blue Devil supporters, At no time this season was I ever ashamed to be connected with this group of young men. Imp halfback Gary Mittelbusher bears down on a Rock ball carrier while Bob Payton (36) and Terry Wigglesworth (79) pursue.

Wrestlers Start Winning Tradition Fighting up to potential, the Blue Devil wrestlers climaxed a winning season with runner-up honors at Cedar Falls, a mere three points from the state championship. In early November the grapplers began workouts in the stove,” the 110° wrestling room that melts away the pounds. Sound fundamental drills and skilled coaching by Jim Fox and Tom Murphy proved the mar- gin of victory. The Blue Devils blasted their way through a tough schedule with only one stumble, at Iowa City. A source of pride to all of CHS was the trouncing the boys gave the West Falcons in an ex- citing mid-season dual meet. The victory over East Moline brought to Central its first championship, the Quad-City mat title. Seven Imps advanced to state competi- tion as Central raced away with the dis- trict title. These Blue Devils, with coaches Jim Fox and Tom Murphy, traveled to Cedar Falls, battled the best in Iowa, and re- turned home with three third places, two seconds, one state champion, and the runner-up trophy. 1961 co-captains John Kessler and Otto Frei review the sea- sons' second-place state finish with coaches Jim Fox and Tom Murphy.

CHS Tankers Aim Swimming captain Alan Sears checks over the agenda on upcoming events with Coach Dennis Hoffnagle. for Future Splash Unusual circumstances and insufficient material teamed up to make a lean initial year for the Central tankers. Coach Dennis Hoffnagle had little talent to mold into a top calibre team, and as a result was forced to concentrate on building for future suc- cesses. In addition to the already unfavorable fac- tors of inexperience and youth, the Central policy of allowing the pool-less West Falcons to share the available space brought problems and confusion. In spite of these problems, the tankers came withip a whisker of victories all season. Captain Al Sears, diver Gary Richards, and medley relay team, Bill Green, Barry Seitz, Al Sears, and Denny An- drews, provided the bright spots in the Central at- tack. In this first year of existence, the youthful squad managed to win one dual victory in eleven starts, and to put forth a respectable showing in all meets, a remarkable achievement considering the adverse circumstances. Only one man of the entire squad graduates, so prospects for next year are promising, especially since this group showed con- tinued improvement as the season progressed. 112 VARSITY SCORES CHS OPPONENT CHS OPPONENT 39 Tipton 63 37 Jefferson 49 22 Rock Island 63 39 Moline 47 22 Moline 63 29 Rock Island 56 13 Washington 73 38 West 48 27 V2 Muscatine 58 2 46 Tipton 40 40 West 46 Gary Richards is flying high as he executes a perfect dive during rigorous practice.

And just as the little engine puffed up the long hill, so did the CHS basketball team battle its way through a grueling schedule. A whirlwind start, mid-season upsets, and a final surge of true Central spirit highlighted the otherwise disappoint- ing season. Injuries at inopportune times sidelined key personnel, and the ever-shifting lineup never quite man- aged to put in a full game of team effort. Games in which loyal CHS fans caught a glimpse of the hidden talent were those with Iowa City and Assumption, but spirits lagged as the Blue Devils went down time after time. But in the final game of the regular season the Imps caught fire. Against the highly-rated Cedar Rapids Wash- ington Warriors they could do no wrong. And the following Monday night as the Blue Devils met the West High Fal- cons in a district contest, the pair of losses suffered at the hands of these cross-town rivals was avenged. With a 15-point margin the Imps knocked the Falcons out of State competition as the entire school turned out in red and blue, armed with signs and spirit to spark the injury- plagued squad to victory. Even the second round defeat at the hands of Assumption could not dim the luster of this glowing triumph. 114 Mr. Bob Ballard Sophomore Coach Btumble ...

Hustle, Spirit, Determination Drive Getting the indicator, the clue to the signals is all a part of baseball lingo. Sophomore Coach Nick Avelchas gets a check-out on the signs from Head Coach Bill Freese before an intra-squad practice game. With a new name and a new coach, Central High’s baseball team had its sights set on retain- ing the State Championship this spring. Although young and inexperienced, the Blue Devils intended to make up for this in hustle and determination. The spirit to win was already instilled in them by their capable head coach, Bill Freese. Only three lettermen returned from the 1960 tourney team. John Ristow roamed the outfield while Gene Lucht was the mainstay at shortstop. Gary Mittelbusher handled some of the pitching duties. Other Imps called on for top performances were Dave Schwebel, Lonnie Sehmann, John Greenlee, Reggie Yates, Bob Payton, Chuck Rascher, Ed Resnick, Tom Slattery, Bud Beyers, Ron Rettig, Marty Freshwater, Jerry Murphy, Mike Van Zele, Vic Sathre, Bob Bebee, DeRell Johnson, Dick Bellman, Roy McGinnis, and Bob Menes. The Imps this year were stocked with many ready and willing underclassmen. Sophomore Coach Nick Avelchas tried to groom his players into the varsity caliber that Central High is accus- tomed to. However, success rested largely upon their own personal desire and determination. Catcher Lonnie Sehmann gives the sign to Hurler Gary Mittelbusher as the bat- tery warms up. Returning Letterman Mit- telbusher shared pitching chores with Dave Schwebel, Jerry Murphy, Chuck Rascher, Marty Freshwater, and Ron Rettig.

Armed with the tools of their trade, winning smiles and infectious pep, these reserve cheerleaders, Nancy Pedersen, Jane Nar- land, Nancy Nitikman, and Barb Andrews, warm up for the eve- ning’s game. Taking time out from the whirlwind schedule of athletic activities to pose for the camera is this reserve cheerleading squad composed of Barb Danielson, Carol Shumate, Betsy Wallace, Gay Schlueter, and Ginny Likeness. 129 Hundreds of individuals —after working, playing, studying, dreaming, hoping, and deciding together during their three years at Central— joined each other for the final tribute to another uniquely formed individual, Davenport Central High School, at graduation exercises June 8, 1961. Through athletic events, class parties and school dances, senior activities, trips to Ted’s, and most of all through actual classroom work the students of this unique group created the Class of 1961—a distinction bound to remain precious to each member. Commencement signaled the conclusion of one important phase of each senior’s life, but also indicated a more im- portant beginning —the skills achieved at Central High School would serve to instill all other qualities necessary for success in life. The graduating seniors were prepared to meet the challenges put forth by their time. All graduates will undoubtedly hold treasured memories of their years at Central and retain respect for the words, Class of 1961. Taking a break and enjoying it fully are officers of the Senior Class. Top to bottom they are: Vice President John Kessler, President Charles Brooke, Secretary Pat Stolfa, and Treasurer Bette Putnam.

This volume, which you now hold so securely in your hands, was once not in such a stable state. It has, literally, been scattered in a hundred pieces from Chicago to Iowa City to Davenport . . . from one end of the Blackhawk Office to the other. From the 1961 yearbook staff, our most sincere thanks to the many individuals who helped pick up the pieces. Wagners Printers and their expert workers Mr. Ted Nelson and Miss Sandy Green, whose heads were always filled with ideas and whose hands were always ready to help. Miss Sherry Kilpatrick, who went beyond the call of duty as a friend, a comic, and an advisor to encourage and to reassure her teen-age charges. Mr. Frank Tank, whose willingness to assist was equaled only by his ability to manage the books and keep us out of the red. John Atkins, our sophomore photographer, who learned that pleasing everybody was almost as hard as taking good pictures. Bob Brown, the weatherman, and Max Lindberg, the newscaster, who, with their trusty cameras, were more than willing to accommodate a panicked staff when deadlines drew near. Parents of staff members, now grey-haired and trembling, who had to endure their children and their children's problems with only one consolation: “Dr. Spock says it’s only a stage!” To all these people, and to all those whom we sometimes take for granted as “high school fixtures”: Principal Roger Berry, Mr. Paul Eckert, Mrs. Eva Moeller, Mrs. Mary Jean LaFrenz, and Shorty the janitor . . . “Thank You” BLACKHAWK 1061 BLACKHAWK
