Central High School - Blackhawk Yearbook (Davenport, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1963 volume:

1963 BLACKHAWK CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL DAVENPORT, IOWA VOLUME 46 ALL THE WE DEDICATE THE ’63 BLACKHAWK to the spirit of Central High, a spirit which is more than pep posters and victory yells. It is the good feeling throughout the school, re- flected in every activity. It makes us put forth extra effort and want to do our best. It is a feeling of pride that we hold for our school and its symbols. Spirit stirs through our halls as students congregate and carries into the classrooms to create attitudes suitable for learning. It is to this wider sense of spirit that we dedicate this book. 2 MINGS WE ARE... A student scurrying to class with an armful of textbooks and a mind full of useful formulas; a club member enjoying a doughnut after the meeting; an athlete working on his weakness; an artist waiting for inspiration to come; a senior proudly admiring his class ring; an excited girl buying that perfect dress for the dance next weekend — these are the pictures that reveal the true personality of Central High. The Blackhawk staff has tried to capture some of these daily events and routines as well as the special activities in order to show a complete image of high school life in ’63. This yearbook is to be a source of memory and reference of these days at Central — All the Things We Are. 3 Student life is — Crowded halls, Imposing walls, Sophomores, Opening doors, Blasts, Spoofs, Riots, Goofs, Changing scenes, Old routines, Favorite buddies, Endless studies . . .

Our classes with built-in homework, discussions, experiments, and tests are the first interest at Central; but they offer us much more than just an education. We get our track practice running up to chemistry lab just after a vigorous workout in gym and learn to brave the weather scurrying to and from the home ec building. Report cards reflect the long hours of open books, typewriters, Cokes, and the inevitable theme paper shortages. Our highly qualified and dedicated teachers instill in us the desire to learn and to get the most out of our high school years. We learn by many devices, but all have a common purpose of developing students to assume positions as citizens in the world of tomorrow. 15 Dr. Anthony Marinaccio Superintendent of Schools Standards and Rule! The Davenport Board of Education is an instru- ment of the Iowa State Legislature, which is respon- sible for setting policies for public schools in the city. The system includes two senior high schools, four junior highs, and 20 elementary schools. It is the school board s function to provide build- ings, grounds, efficient teachers, and the proper cur- riculum to teach students, from kindergarteners to high school seniors. Regularly scheduled monthly meetings arc held to discuss these important matters, and special meetings arc called as the need arises. The elected board hires the superintendent of schools, administrative staff, school principals, and teachers to function according to its policies. Actions by tl e school board are taken always with the student and his education foremost in mind. It is the administration’s goal that the younger genera- tion may grow up as well educated citizens. Likewise is the goal of Central’s administration, whose guidance far outweighs the detention notices. Discussing business at hand during one of its monthly meetings is the Davenport Hoard of Education. Pictured around the table are: Dr. James Rogers; Dr. J. Brown White; Mr. Lester Jones; Supt. Anthony Marinaccio; Mr. Thomas Nobis, president; Miss Viola Waack. secretary: Dr. Gordon Flynn. Mr. Raymond Judd; Mr. Paul Norton. 16 Jet by Administrations Mr. Orville Kahler Assistant Principal Mr. Roger Berry Principal Students of Central High School: In answer to a request for comments on some of the tilings that make our school one of distinction, I would enumerate some of the important academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities offered to our students. Many of these activities which distin- guish our school are so well established that we fail to fully appreciate or to recognize their true qualities. It is well to remember, for instance, that our school has been truly outstanding in instrumental and vocal music. Our band, orchestra, and a Cappella choir have rendered superb performances. For years our debaters and other public speakers have dominated a vast com- petitive scene. The strength and scope of our physical education and athletic programs are recognized be- cause of the fact that very few schools have a course of study which is as complete as ours. When we com- pare our clubs and fine arts programs, as well as our library facilities, to those of other schools, it is easy to see that Central High School ranks far beyond many of them. Business education, publications, vo- cational education, special education, and counseling programs at Central High School also receive high recognition from businesses and professions. These academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities should not be taken for granted, but ap- preciated and sustained for those students who will walk these halls in years to come. Sincerely, 17 High-ranking Seniors Win Scholastic Awards Students who received recognition in the Merit Scholarship program arc. First Row: finalists Barb Beiter. Doug Hosford, Tom Fritzschc.

Fifth Row: Ann Schafer, Julie Stoker. Jim Paul. Absent from the picture are Linda Severson, finalist; Wendy Gannett; and Van Schwartz. There must be an easier way.” exclaim Tom Fritzschc and Merry Lu Martin, the two Number Is” of the senior class. Last March, Central’s college-bound juniors, along with thousands of students across the nation, enrolled in the eighth annual National Merit Scholarship com- petition. After preliminary competition in a vigorous testing program, four Central students — Barb Beiter, Tom Fritzschc, Doug Hosford, and Linda Severson — achieved sem-finalist status. Twelve more Centralites received letters of com- mendation. They are: Michele Adams, Irene Blaser, Jim Carlton, Wendy Gannett, Lori Meier, Jeff Mitch- ell, Pam Parker, Jim Paul, Joanne Rohwedder, Ann Schafer, Van Schwartz, Julie Stoker, Candy Wicbcner, and Rick Zimmerman. In December of 1962, the four semi-finalists set out with sharpened pencils and minds to take a second test, which selected National Merit finalists. After successfully completing their Scholastic Aptitude Test, which is one of the College Board Examina- tions, all four Central competitors attained finalist ranking. This placed them among the top one-half percent of the nation’s graduating seniors and made them eligible for a four-year National Merit Scholar- ship, ranging from Si00 to $1500 annually. Honor Students -- Pins, Crests, Recognition Following a tradition initiated last year, the faculty, administration, parents, and student body recognized CHS honors students during two awards assemblies this year. Three hundred and forty-three honors were awarded to seniors, juniors, and sophomores for their scholastic achievements. After an orchestra presentation and a speech by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Anthony Marinaccio, who initiated this program, each student was individ- ually recognized for his achievements. He then re- ceived cither a pin, crest, or certificate, according to his scholastic level. Under the program, students receive an Academic Excellence Award for earning a semester grade of A” in each of four basic academic subjects; a First Honors Award for obtaining a semester average of 3.80 or above in their full credit subjects; or a Second Honors Award for earning a 3.50 to 3.79 average in their full credit subjects. At graduation, seniors are honored for their aca- demic achievement by wearing a distinctive cord dur- ing Commencement exercises. 19 Ann Blaesing English Donald Denhart Coordinator of English English Et tu. Brute, moans Erik Johnson, as he and Gary Erion, Carole Weaver, Mimi Greer, and Rita Wise dramatize Julius Caesar. Taste of Lit Spices Sophomore Grammar Having trouble with gerunds or participles? Most likely a sophomore could solve your problem. Parts of speech are some of the many phases of grammar stressed through English I and II. After a basic review of sentence construction, students write paragraphs and themes. The course gives the student a taste of literature, hoping to increase his appreciation and reading com- prehension. Such works as Eliot’s Silas Manter, Stein- beck’s The Pearl, and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar are studied thoroughly. Interest is added through such projects as miniature Elizabethan theaters, dramatiza- tions, and some memorization. For many students, the course requires book re- ports, spelling tests, and vocabulary exercises — skills essential to both oral and written communications. This year all students kept folders in which themes and other important papers were filed. The)’ proved to be extremely useful to both teachers and pupils as references and progress reports. Sophomores Trudy Zoepfel and Carl Stahlcr find that diagraming sen- tences can be both helpful and fun. 20 Juniors Understand and Appreciate English John Swander. Bob Roscne, and Sandie Schwartz take time to admire Sharon Smith's American lit map. To the junior, English can come alive through American literature. The course begins with a study of present day writers and their background. During second semester, students step back to colonial days and continue in chronological order. Because of the interesting subject matter, many unique learning projects were developed this year. Some classes made magazines, complete with decora- tive covers, literary articles, and even advertisements. While reading Wilder's Our Town, it was not un- usual to find students perched atop ladders to recite. Other projects included themes on such topics as Mischief and Me,” panel discussions, vocabulary quizzes, and book reports. The other course is English III and IV, which emphasizes speaking and writing with grammatical correctness. Students learn to use the different parts of the dictionary and to build up their vocabularies. Harriet Kipling English American Literature Mary Ellen Leavitt English Gerald McGee American literature Frances Papenbrock American Literature Senior English Classes Have Unusual Twist The doorway to English literature at Central reflects the enthusiasm of the busy seniors. Oh, surely you, Santa, can remove these spots, pleads Lady Macbeth at the English Christmas program. Looking on arc Santa's elves. Description of a Paper Clip,” “My Favorite Town,” What is Love?” and Shadows” were a few of the theme topics which baffled CHS seniors taking grammar and composition this year. The course aims to include basic instruction in the fundamentals of written expression necessary for suc- cess in college and to give further experience in spe- cialized types of writing. After a two-week vicarious trip to Great Britain, English literature students began their study with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and advanced chronolog- ically through the centuries. Learning techniques in- cluded writing, dramatizing, and illustrating. Most students planning to enter the business world upon graduation studied English V and VI, which stresses practical application of English to vocations. Hortense Finch Depart men! Haul English Literature English Mary Imhoit Grammar Marilyn Stetson English Just jot down whatever comes to your mind as the record plays.” explains Miss Sheryl O'Donnell, student teacher in the grammar and composition classes. Cramming for one of those surprise news quizzes are Marilyn Metcalf. Winkie Marion. Kathy Brown. Suzy Hartung, and Marilyn Ough. James Barlow Public Speaking Speech Grammar Marilyn Kelsey Journalism English Mae Elma Tornquist Dramatics American Literature Students Study Communication, Expression Waiting for the cue are Cathy AfTre and Susie Schweb, as Trudy Zocpfel performs a characterization. With notebook, pencil, and a look of fierce de- termination, CHS junior journalists arc easy to spot, usually in pursuit of another interview,” their weekly- feature story, or a front page scoop. The course is designed to teach creative and concise objective writ- ing. After covering newspaper page make-up and headlines, students tour the Davenport newspapers. Preparing students to assume positions of responsi- bility in a world in which oral communication is basic, public speaking stresses careful and articulate speech along with the construction of logical and well- developed speeches. This goal is accomplished by work in areas ranging from extemporaneous speaking and debate to interpretation and radio speaking. Another colorful course stressing oral communica- tion is dramatics. It aims to broaden interest in and appreciation of the theater by promoting artistic dis- crimination through a knowledge of what makes good theater” — its acting, production, and make-up. 23 Amy Amsbury Spanish Dorothy Blackman French Elihu Cooper Latin Carole Elmer German English Margenf, Johns French American History Arc you sure this is French? wonders Hank Lischcr, behind the complicated language lab controls. CHS Linguists Learr Ever have the urge to toss away those textbooks? New CHS linguists had this opportunity since two branches of the Central language department experi- mented with a different type of course this year — a course in which no textbooks were used during the entire first semester. Besides these two experimental courses — one in Spanish and one in French — Cen- tral also offered regular courses in French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Because foreign languages are playing such a large part in the educational field. Central is collaborating with the junior high schools in offering its respective students courses designated to help fulfill college en- trance requirements. By beginning a language at the junior high level and progressing to the senior high courses, one may acquaint himself quite extensively with a language. Armed with earphones and a microphone, the po- tential bi-linguists are given an opportunity to practice their language in private in the modern language laborator)'. This excellent chance for lengthy conver- sational use, as well as the give and take classroom recitation and grammatical study, combines to give Central students a rich background in this area of such importance in our shrinking world — language. You mean I really conjugated that verb correctly? asks Vicki Richards. Culture, as well as speech, is a part of language study.

Without Standard Textbooks Carol Travis Spanish English Judy Vukelich Spanish Once upon a time, defense did not cost S55 billion per year, says Latin student Judy Martens, as she points out a display of ancient Roman armor done by David Bray. Wide Variety of Math Li L Mary Peterson, Dave Cassling, and Bob Bates concentrate on homework. When people referred to the good old days, the)' weren't considering math offered in high school. Formerly there was only one field — general math — but times have changed. The sophomore continually wonders if answers exist. He has a choice of Algebra I and II or Plane Geometry I and II, where he learns deductive rea- soning. The junior, who may be studying Algebra III and IV as semester courses, has the idea answers can’t be found but keeps trying anyway. Seniors know that answers can't be found to some problems but like the challenge. They may enroll in trigonometry and analytical or solid geometry. Mathematics I and II supplies a review of mathe- matical fundamentals. Also, offered for a second year, Temac allows self-study. Elizabeth Barnes Business Math Geometry Rick Zimmerman ponders over the trig explanation Jim Wit tig has worked out for the problem.

Using new physics laboratory equipment are Tom Fritzsche and Gary Goldsmith, seniors. Nick Avelchas Biology DuWayne Carnes Physics Reflecting the role that scientific development plays in our modern world, Central’s science department boasted its largest enrollment ever. A total of 47 sections was divided into 21 classes of biology, nine of chemistry, five of physics, four of earth science, four of physiology, and four of zoology. New, modern equipment was added to this expand- ing department. Two telescopes were purchased for the future astronomers, one reflecting and the other refracting. For physics students, additional instru- ments, such as a wave machine and miniature wind tunnel, were added. CHS is also modernizing its courses of study. The physics department is improving through a better course outline with new textbooks. The chemistry de- partment is proud of its two new sections, better known as CBA” (chemical bond approach). Future modernization for Central may include new courses of study such as advanced science.” With these improvements, CHS will be able to produce more future scientists than ever.

CHS students have the opportunity to study past and present events of the world and the social aspects of man, through the many social studies offered. Required to take two semesters of American history in their junior year, students acquire a sound back- ground of America. Individual research is done, and reports are written to instill better understanding. News notebooks submitted by students in American government help prepare future citizens. The subject is a one-semester course required for seniors. The remaining semester must be filled by economics or sociology. Elective subjects include psychology; world, ancient, modern, and medieval history; and world cultures. Projects and reports in all of the courses make text- book studying more rewarding. World cultures stu- dents are allowed to choose what phase of China or India they would like to study. Clip, snip, and paste could be the motto of government students.

Culture Instilled ir Bill Henderson concentrates on the ancient craft of pottery as he shapes a new piece of clay on the potter's wheel. For those who have responded to that urge to pick up a brush and paint or sit down and plunk out a melody on an instrument, Central’s fine arts depart- ment offers a wide range of culture-skill subjects. Art students arc taught appreciation and techniques of good art. Painting, drawing, and pottery — baked in the new kiln — are on display throughout the building in classrooms, halls, and offices. Musicians are trained through vocal groups, private lessons, band, and orchestra. All gain valuable experi- ence by participating in the various concerts and by competing in the All-State Music Festival and the State High School Music Contest, both in which Central traditionally takes high honors. Musical talents are displayed to the public at the Pops Concert, the Messiah, Variety Show, and the Spring Concert, which is part of the annual Fine Arts Festival at Central. To appreciate and understand culture is the basic purpose of all the courses offered. With this goal, it is hoped that students will derive more pleasure from such activities now and in future years. Mii-ton Anderson Vocal Music Softer, please, asks Mr. Forrest Mortiboy, conductor of Central's highly regarded band. Such practices as this were essential for the success of the group's various performances during the school year — 'Pops,' Christmas, and Spring Concerts — as well as half-time and pep aud sessions. Robert Bates Instrumental Music falented Fine Arts Students The harmonies of a new piece require all the attention of flutist Joanne Rohwcdder.

Interested in becoming an architect, auto mechanic, machinist, or printer? The CHS industrial arts de- partment offers courses in all of these fields. Plans of study come under three main programs — standard industrial arts courses, vocational trade train- ing on campus, and cooperative trades and industry. Full-credit classes in electricity, mechanical drawing, woodworking, metal working, auto mechanics, and printing are open to interested students. Under the vocational trade training program, the student attends regular classes in the morning period and then receives actual training in the afternoon. The cooperative trades and industry plan gives senior students the opportunity to acquire on-the-job training as well as classroom instruction in a trade. Charles Barrett Drafting Metalwork Kenneth Conrad Wood work Future Tradesmen Learn, Practice Braving it in the man’s world of architectural drawing is Marj Miller, the only girl taking the course. Robert Wehlage Machine Shop Sigurd Hanson Radio and Electronics Electricity Donald Kampeer Metalwork Auto Mechanics Merlin Maiers Auto Mechanics Robert Rowe Machine Shop Trades and Industry Frank Tank Printing Home Ec Classes Emphasize Modern Living Today's home economics courses are designed for modern living. They improve personality, develop leadership, and help develop grown-up attitudes to- ward future responsibilities. Courses develop wise shoppers, improve present and future homes and family living by providing understandings and skills, and strengthen the use of resources — time, energy, money, and equipment. The newest course added to the program is young adult living, now having completed its second year. It is a semester study designed for the college-bound girl having had no other home economics courses. It offers something in the social graces, making a home away from home, and personal management.

Something New in Boys’ Gym -- Isometrics John Viksne has a perfect hand stand if he can only hold it without the aid of Rex West. Have you done your isometrics yet today?” This is the plaintive cry of a typical boys' gym student who has learned that immovable objects can really give him a workout.” Actually, this student is referring to an exercise known as isometric contradiction, which requires him to exert himself against an immovable object. This exercise, combined with more conditioning exercises, was initiated into the boys' physical education pro- gram this year. Also new to the department was a Red Cross first aid course. In addition, the program included the standard physical fitness test, gymnastics, work on the trampoline, team sports, and swimming. Wondering how long the photographer will take is Buster Miller, who demon- strates his skill on the parallel bars. Paul Keeney Physical Education Eugene Fisher James Fox Physical Education Department Head Physical Education After the initial splash and 50 bobs, a physical education class assembles to practice the crawl, as demonstrated by a student lifeguard. Girls’ Phys Ed Gets in the Swim of Things Dripping, kinky, or perfectly straight hair served as a reminder that girls' swimming was underway during the first semester. However, being good sports about it, the girls learned many water skills in an effort to pass their Red Cross swimming tests, ranging from beginner to advanced swimmer. Once on dry land, they conditioned themselves for physical fitness tests by exercising to records such as Chicken Fat” by Robert Preston. So popular was the method that extra records were ordered and sold. They practiced skills ranging from ping pong to high jumping in order to produce healthy bodies.

While sophomores study typing and bookkeeping, juniors are offered advanced typing, Gregg shorthand, and accounting. Seniors are provided with on-the-job training in local businesses, combined with general office practice and distributive education practice. Commercial workshop features office training with modern equipment, including transcribers, an IBM Selcctric typewriter, tape recorders, and head-sets. Distributive education students learn about the business world through both experience and study.

After three weeks in the classroom studying what to do and when to do it, students take to driving in prac- tice cars to films; but the real test of courage comes as students actually take to the road. Back in the classroom, future drivers sec special films and study about the car itself. The climax of the course is obtaining a driver's license. Also, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Wood, Central provides a work-study class to help students academically and also provide practical crafts.

Central's broad testing program gives students a better opportunity to interpret their abilities, aptitudes, and progress. By sponsoring Senior Career Day, college inter- views, a nursing program, and military conferences, the guidance department rounds out its year of as- sistance and advice. Which college is right for me? ponders the student while- considering both her personal interests and abilities. Each student has an informed coun- selor willing to advise him. Paul Still Head Counselor Lucille Burianek Guidance Pauline Cotter Guidance Ronald Maertens Guidance Eugene Pint Guidance Beatrice Rosenberg Guidance Library research on topics ranging from grasshoppers to name origins takes place each period by students checked out of study hall. Academics Center Around Library Facilities Charles Adams Gladys Goss Head Librarian At si stant Librarian Some of the favorites being Exodus, The Agony and the Ecstacy, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Gone ivith the Wind, approximately 125 books arc checked out daily from Central’s library. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Adams, head librarian, and his assistant, Mrs. Gladys Goss, more than 20 student helpers check books out and in, return them to the shelves, and file cards in the catalogue. The library is the center around which Central's academic interests revolve. To keep it at a high standard, 600 books are added each year; and loss of books is kept at a minimum. A change in the check-out system now allows a student to keep a book three weeks instead of two. Interest in the library this year was indicated by the 20 percent in- crease in circulation. Activities director Mr. Leon Kruse asks his assistant. Mr. Hollis Brown, to look over his plans for Friday's aud program. ■ Ah. says sophomore Tom Wilson, as Mrs. Imogcne Sandway. school nurse, decides to excuse him from school. Ignoring the phones, schedules, and appointments for a moment are the main office secretaries: Miss Jcaneatte Hendcrkott; Mrs. Corailee Kindelsperger; and Mrs. Eva Moeller, registrar. A Beehive of Activity Please send seat number 281 to the Attendance Office at the end of the period, requests Miss Jean Minard. 42 Preparing enough brownies to last three lunch hours is one responsibility of the cafeteria staff: Mcsdames Fannie Langfcldt; Edna Loftus; June Locke, manager; Freda Krueger; Lucille Schmidt; Frances Tawney; Virginia Compton; Dorothy Longlett; Dorothy White; Margaret Bawdcn. rom Behind the Scenes Serves Central Daily Students casually walking the halls often take for granted the beehive of activity at work each morning behind the scenes. In the Principal’s Office, secretaries are reading absence excuses and answering phones all at once, as a line of sneezes, fevers, and crutches forms in Room 8 to begin the day for the school nurse. Downstairs, theme paper, pencils, and notebooks are being sold in the Activities Office; and down the hall the cooks are peeling potatoes for 1700 students. Across the hall Mrs. Verle Still is accompanying the girls' trio as they practice. Mrs. Besse Thoensen has arrived at the gym to work on records, and Miss Pauline Cotter is helping a student fill out a job application in the Placement Office. And then there’s Shorty, the custodian, on his way opening lockers for forgetful students. Thus begins another day at Central. Students needing an opened locker look for a helpful custodian or ma- tron. Front Row: June Shcrbern. Jordon (Shorty) Nath. Second Row: Marilyn Osborn. Mabel Gruber. Third Row: Agnes Birkhahn.

What makes the clique click? There are all kinds of special things such as pictures, class rings, and name cards. They have select subjects like government, soc, and economics; and they frolic at special social gatherings. Most of the seniors felt right at home at the class party held in a hobo atmosphere, and everyone had a happy time at the class picnic. But they are serious, too. They plan for the future, whether it be college or business. The pile of letters, applications, and conferences finally gives way to the cap and gown as the class steps out into the great wide world of life. 45 Elected Officers Lead Outstanding '63 Class Planning the year were Linda Severson, secretary; Rick Zimmerman, president: Tom Fritzschc, vice president; and Linda Ehlers, treasurer. Groping for the truth, leading the way, basking in the glow of being Number 1 ... we are seniors. We took the spotlight, dominating such important positions as Student Council officers, varsity cheer- leaders, and publications editors, all of which build Central’s spirit and character. The class proudly boasts four National Merit Schol- arship finalists and a foreign exchange student to Germany, as well as one from Uruguay. Seniors helped set that goal that led our teams to victory and state championship, and senior kings and queens set the social pace for the 1962-63 year. But this is not all. We’re kids that love life whether it be painting our cars for the West game, congre- gating at Ted’s, singing on a hayrack ride, or just teasing the sophomores. Undoubtedly each graduate has his own special memory of an outstanding class and of that special year.

Some of this year’s more oustanding social events, as far as I’m concerned, were the Homecoming game and dance and my first formal American dance, the Spinsters’ Spree. Also, it was a new experience to participate in the Minstrel Show. In Uruguay we produce shows of this type; but they’re usually pro- duced by clubs, guilds, or professional groups. I’ll admit I had many fears and apprehensions about getting along in America, but most of the CHS students and faculty helped dissolve these fears. You’ll never know how your encouraging smiles and friendly advice helped me through those first few terrifying days in my new school. I’ll always remember this year as one of the most interesting and profitable of my entire life. Adios muchachos. Lilia and her date, Carl Lippenbcrgcr, sit out this dance to chat at the Semester Swirl. Mr. Tom Walterman explains the principle of the Declaration to Lilia, who is very much interested in American government. Lilia learns most about our way of life from her American home and her sister. Joanne Rohwedder. It’s just what she wanted, no matter the language. Lilia expresses appreciation as the Student Council celebrates her birthday at an early morning breakfast. 77 WE ARE SOCIAL i Our dances with whirling, gaily-colored dresses, exciting coronations, floats, red and blue streamers, and heels kicked in a corner — all of our parties with gay costumes, endless committee meetings and work, zany dances, and clever entertainment are all part of our gala social life at Central. The old West characterized a victorious Homecoming. Spree moved to the land of Dixie, while Swirl swung in a winter woodland setting. Seniors twisted in the hobo tradition as juniors welcomed spring with a Cotton Ball and newcomers went oriental. A festive round of social events was climaxed with our Senior-Junior Prom — romantically sentimental with flowing formals, gay flowers, the grand march, a senior’s last good-by.

Homecoming Step Western Soiree” lassoed the exciting spirit of Central's Homecoming, October 26 and 27, a week- end to be long remembered, especially by Queen Susan Fries. Her reign began with the Western style corona- tion assembly Friday afternoon, characterized by cow- boys, a little red wagon train, and square dancers. When the royalty left to tour downtown Davenport, Central cheered as never before, B-E-A-T West High. And that’s exactly what the Blue Devil team did, by a 19-13 score, to become city champs. There was pageantry at the game as the queen and her attend- ants — Barbara Beiter, Patti Cramer, Linda Ehlers, and Lynn Townsend — were introduced in horse- drawn buckboards replacing the traditional conver- tibles used for the parade. Homecoming co-captains Jim Hester and Larry Schreibcr presented Queen Susan the autographed football at the dance Saturday night. Dancing to the music of Carroll Baker concluded the gala celebration. Stuffing parties were in full swing weeks before the celebration as homerooms produced prize-winning hall displays. 84 Queen candidates are all smiles after being nominated by the student body. They are: Patti Cramer. Linda Severson. Sara Irwin. Nancy Shafer, Jane White. Barbara Beiter. Susan Fries, Sharon Holst, Susie Van Zele, Becky Young, Lynn Townsend, and Linda Ehlers.

Chivalry reversed itself for the annual dance as ladies were seen everywhere opening doors, checking coats, pinning on corsages, and buying cokes for their favorite gentlemen, who loved the extra attention. Central girls voted that senior Jim Hester should reign as king and be attended by Jim Carlton, Rollie Miller, Jim Richard, and Larry Schreiber. King Jim and his royal attendants were presented during the dance intermission, being escorted by GRA officers through a flower archway to the throne. Presi- dent Joanne McDermand crowned the popular king as dancing to the Scott Clark Orchestra resumed. Even with the aid of a Southern wishing well in the upper lobby, CHS boys could not prolong the evening and all too soon found themselves waiting hand and foot on their favorite belles again.

Class of '63 Frolics at 'Squatters' Shindig' There was a real Shindig” at CHS as haggard hobos and country bumpkins ambled into the gym March 15. But there was no reason for alarm, as peeking under the straw hats and false beards revealed that they were actually the seniors celebrating their annual hoedown. The shanty-town atmosphere was conveyed by hobo shacks, a box-car mural, and tin cans with gaily colored, balloons sprinkled overhead. Satirical epitaphs to the faculty covered the walls, lending amusement. Taking a break from the twisting and limbo con- tests, the party goers scrambled to the lower lobby for hamburgers, chips, cokes, and doughnuts. A swinging piano solo by Mike Stroehle and dreamy songs sung by Archie Woods, along with the self-composed folk songs and antics of Dave Cassling and John Peil, provided the tramps’ entertainment. Of course, at a shindig” ’most anything goes. After the girls showed their strength to the music of Chicken Fat,” the boys couldn’t resist a couple of friendly wrestling matches. Meanwhile, dances rocked to a limbo rhythm. Believe it or not, it’s Miss Lucille Burianck. Miss Pauline Cotter, and Mrs. Geraldine Toher relaxing after a lot of work and planning. Dave Cassling and John Peil entertain the group with self-composed folk songs. For a Shindig, a Model A is right in style, according to Rick Zimmerman, Vicki Morris. Barb Rostenbach, and Hank Runge. First CHS Sign of Spring--the Jr. Cotton Ball Each year spring fever is first apparent at the gay Cotton Ball, the junior class party, this year centered around the theme Ship Ahoy.” All mates took to the deck, dancing to a jukebox and student combo under a nautical flag-covered ceil- ing. Various round-the-world scenes could be viewed through the open port-holes lining the walls of the George Edward Marshall Gymnasium on the night of March 29. Dancing was interrupted by refreshments — ham- burgers, tuna sandwiches, potato chips, and pop served in the lower lobby, where miniature baggage carts decorated the tables. Peter, Paul, and Mary — impersonated by three CHS juniors — plus the student combo with guest faculty soloist Mr. David Knouse provided entertain- ment. Also enjoyable was soloist Jim Sanders, who was accompanied by Nancy Wilson at the piano. As the Junior Cotton Ball drew to a close, spring fever could already be felt sifting into Central. General chairmen for the junior class party were officers Mary Sue McGimpsey. treasurer; Terry Huff, president; Sue Dec Smith, vice president; and Marilyn Ough, secretary. 91 'Getting To Know You’ Party Greets Sophs Getting acquainted arc chairmen Kris Klabundc. courtesy; Barb Shafer, decorations; Chuck Zion, refreshments; and Kay Keny, entertainment. Getting To Know You was both the theme and purpose of the 14th annual Newcomers' Party, the first social event of the year, held October 12 in George Marshall Gym. The atmosphere was marked by sounds and scenes from the Broadway show, The King and I.” Jay Hamburg, master of ceremonies, proudly showed off the talents of the sophomore class as he introduced Susan Olson playing the marimba; Judi Lange dancing to the theme from Exodus; Tewanta Dover performing a piano boogie; and a cornet trio including Steve Harissen, Dennis Nichols, and Charles Stender. The featured acts were auditioned by Mr. Forrest Mortiboy, head of the CHS music department, and the student entertainment committee. Co-advisers for the party were Miss Beatrice Rosen- berg and Mr. Eugene Pint. Dancing to the theme from Exodus is talented Judi Lange. Candidates Wait and Wonder Before Swirl A forest in the snow set the atmosphere for Central's second annual semester dance, this year en- titled Winter Rendezvous.” Held in the George Marshall Gym on January 28, the dance was the result of carefully laid plans and cooperation among the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, which jointly sponsored the affair. Sen- ior and junior class officers plus four selected sopho- mores acted as the general steering committee. The forest scene which caught the eye of arriv- ing couples was more than a simple illusion. Desiring a realistic effect, the junior decorating committee ob- tained several flocked evergreen trees, which were placed around the dance floor. An ice-covered lagoon crossed by a small wooden bridge and large horse and sleigh further helped to create the wintry scene. From the ceiling, glowing German” stars dangled, com- pleting the mood for the snow-season dance. The evening was climaxed at intermission with the exciting announcement of the dance royalty, hitherto kept a secret. After being duly congratulated and having donned their royal robes, the new king and queen — Lynn Townsend and Larry Schreiber — led the queen's dance, followed by their attendants from each of the three classes. Sophomore attendant candidates were, from bottom: Jay Hamburg, Judi Lange, Dave Murphy. Nancy McGimpscy, Hank Miguel, and Helen Mueller. Junior attendant nominees were, from bottom: Barb Stolfa, Craig Shumate, Mary Sue McGimpscy, Greg Scars, Sue Dee Smith, and Terry Huff. Nominated for queen were: Linda Severson, Nancy Shafer, Lynn Townsend. Becky Young. Patti Cramer. For king nominees: Larry Schreiber, Rollie Miller. John Viksne, Larry Rathje, and Stan Berger. The entire student body cast votes for Swirl royalty. 93 Frosty Winter Woods Mary Sue McGimpsey and Terry Huff Junior Attendants Helen Mueller and Jay Hamburg Sophomore Attendants 94 let Stage for Second Annual Semester Swirl Queen Lynn Townsend and King Larry Schreiber Even if Sue Hoover and Debbie Seitz arc chairmen, they'll never get dates to Klein if they don't lay off the food. The glitter and glow of the Yule season was the foundation and theme for Tri-Y’s annual Christmas dance, held December 14 at St. John's Methodist Church. A brightly lit Christmas tree, as well as strings of pine cones and straw stars, helped to create the atmosphere of warmth and fun for the semi- formal affair. Tri-Y members and their dates danced the limbo and twisted to the music of The Dis- chords,” a student combo, and enjoyed the refresh- ments and entertainment provided by committees. Klem's Kountry Kapers reversed the atmosphere April 26. This traditional hillbilly dance, a joint endeavor of the Central and West clubs, had a barn- yard backdrop. Hobo couples assembled at West High’s cafeteria for square dancing and relays. Music for the event was supplied by The Rouscrs,” a West High student combo. A Mr. and Mrs. Klem reigned over the get-together from their garbage-can thrones. Giosen by the chaperones according to the appro- priateness of their dress, the royal couple was crowned with garbage can lids.

Flowing formals, soft music, and dimly sparkling stars transformed the Coliseum Ballroom into a Stair- way to the Stars” for the 1963 Senior-Junior Prom held May 31, as planned by general chairmen Sharon Holst and Robbie White. Even with the aid of sentimental pictures, wilted corsages, and cherished programs, one can never re- capture the magic of such an evening. It will be long remembered by all, but especially by seniors as a final farewell to fun-filled high school social lives. Prom was extraordinary only because of the many hours of hard work and careful planning. Mrs. Mary Imhofif and Mr. Tom Walterman advised students as they busily painted posters, planned the promotion aud, and decorated the Col. At the stroke of midnight the romantic prom ended, but the fun continued as students gathered for house- parties and picnics. A few sleepy, but ever so happy seniors even lasted together for morning breakfasts. WE ARE ATHLETES Our teams at CHS have the qualities that mark them as being distinctive — determination, skill, fair play, and the support of the spirited student body. On the football field the Imps were undoubtedly state champs, and our basketball squad won our pride as it fought to the finish. Wrestlers and swimmers represented Central honorably at the state tournaments; and baseball, track, golf, and tennis teams performed excellently. Our individual athletes rank with the best of them, and the Blue Devil coaches certainly deserve a hand of praise for their time and helpful efforts. Central knows defeat and works to beat it as spirited cheerleaders spark pep into crowds of spectators who hail to our red and blue. 99 CHS representatives on the All-Quad-City football team are Gene Wyatt, Larry Schreiber, Larry Sherman, and Dick Mueller. Not pictured was Bob Stanley. Schreiber and Sherman also rated All-Conference and All-Metropolitan. Top Blue Junior Ron DcReus took a third place in State for swim- ming, to become the first CHS tanker to place in an individ- ual event. Devil Athletes Are For basketball ability, Larry Rathje was named All- Metropolitan; and Jim Hester was named All-Metro- politan. All-Quad-City, and All-Conference. CHS All-Metropolitan wrestlers are Monzelle Hill, Larry Sherman. Ed McCormick, and Tyrone Orr. Athletes at Central rank with the best of athletes as apparent from the large number of boys named to honor teams. All-State teams are chosen by the Des Moines Reg- ister's sports editor, Mr. Brad Wilson, and by the Iowa Daily Press Association with the advice of coaches and opinion polls. Although wrestling and track are based only on facts, basketball and football are largely opinion. All-Conference teams are named after Iowa sports writers cast their ballots. The All-Metropolitan team is similar but pertains only to the immediate area, as do the Quad-City teams. With such outstanding individuals, it is under- standable why CHS teams had successful seasons and why student support and spirit was so strong.

Tough defense, coupled with a forceful offense, brought the varsity through the season with an 8-0-1 record. Cedar Rapids Washington put the only mar on the Devils’ slate, an early season tic. Skilled Imps jumped back from this game to beat arch rival Daven- port West, for Central’s first Homecoming victory. The climax of the year was the last game of the season, as the Imps faced previously undefeated Cedar Rapids Jefferson. Performing before a near sell-out crowd, the CHS team played outstanding football. The game appeared to be a rout during the first three quarters as CHS led, 27-0; but the J-Hawks then demonstrated why Jefferson had been rated the No. 1 team in Iowa, as they came back in the fourth quarter with a threatening three-touchdown spurt. Central held Jefferson's advance for the victor)’, which gave the conference and state championship to the Imps. The football season was successful because the Central High squad had determination and was ready to sacrifice to obtain the goal they had outlined for themselves the season before,” stated Coach Jim Fox. The squad had good balance and a good sized line that moved and blocked well. The backfield was fast hitting and could score on any play, he added. Nation ENDS. Front Row: A. Zosulis. J. Haywood, N.

Central’s swimmers finished ninth in the state championships after a season which saw nearly all former school records broken. Representing CHS at the State Meet were seven members of the team. The medley relay team made up of Kent Anderson, Ron Edwards, Greg Sears, and Rich Sunderbruch placed seventh. Ron DcReus placed third in the 100-yard backstroke to become the first Blue Devil swimmer to score in an individual event on the state level. A free style relay team com- posed of Ron DeReus, Steve Kent, Jay Lindberg, and Greg Scars placed third in the 200-yard event. Despite improved performances throughout the season, the Imps' dual meet record was 3-10. The swimmers were somewhat handicapped by injuries and a young, inexperienced team for these meets. Central faired better at invitational meets, with a sec- ond place at West and a fourth place at Rock Island.

Winning ninth in the state tournament, Central’s wrestling squad turned in a creditable 7-3-1 season record. On the conference level, Central's matmen had a 5-3-1 record. One of the Imps’ biggest victories came with the defeat of previously unbeaten Moline. The Imps and Maroons were deadlocked at the be- ginning of the final match; but a five-point decision by Larry Sherman put CHS out in front, 22-17. Under the guidance of Coach Jim Fox and Assist- ant Coach Tom Murphy, the Imps beat both local ri- vals — Assumption and West Highs — in dual meets. Six members of the Central team went to state. Senior Larry Sherman, wrestling heavyweight, took a first place. Wrestling at 103 pounds, sophomore Tyrone Orr placed fourth. Jim Frei, at 120; Dave Macias, at 133; Ed McCormick, at 138; and Frank Campbell, at 145, also competed in the tournament.

Here Jack Hornbucklc dives onto the bench. Davenport Central's varsity basketball team finished the season with a mark of 11 wins and 10 losses, earning a fifth-place tie in Mississippi Valley confer- ence play with a 7-9 record. Failure to win against the Illinois teams hurt the Blue Devils most, as they’ didn’t win one of the six contests played against the foes from across the river. Records can be deceiving, and this was the case with Central. The Imps were on the short end of five games in which the margin varied from two to five points, indicating that with a litle more luck they might have had several more triumphs. The starting line-up usually consisted of Jim Hester and Jack Hornbuckle at the forward positions, Dave Schwebel as center, and Dave Campbell and Larry Rathjc filling the guard spots. Front line reserves were Harry Errett, Lyle Pena, and Travis Schneden. Hester, Central's leading scorer and rebounder, was one of the two unanimous choices for the Mississippi Valley All-Conference basketball team. He was also the second leading point-getter in the conference, finishing the campaign with a total of 379 points and an average of 18 points per game.

Winning the Mississippi Valley Conference soph- omore title for the half-mile team race was the high- light of the 1962 fall track season. The hustling team consisting of David Atwater, Gary Burch, Dick Lange, and Mark Meyer was under the direction of Coach Mike Dardis. This year's schedule consisted of 11 meets, climaxed with the State Cross Country contest in Iowa City. During the first six meets the varsity ran the mile, and the sophomores ran the half mile. Because a small number of boys went out for the sport, the team's weaknesses were a lack of team size and a lack of experienced lettcrmcn. Junior Mike Pollitz was the only D-Man on the squad.

Sherman Robbins. Robbie White, and Dick Dwinal make up the squad's polevaulting strength. Lacking real strength in field events throughout the season didn’t stop CHS trackmen from compiling 18 points in the State Indoor Meet at Iowa City to clinch third place. Two state champs emerged from the competition. Junior Terry Huff shattered the old shot put record of 56'4 with his 57'1% . Central’s relay team — comprised of Brad LeHew, Curt Perry, Mike Pollitz, and Wilson Thomas — covered the prescribed dis- tance in 3:31.7. In the MVC Indoor Meet, Central placed fourth with 34 points. The Imps were hampered early in the season by the loss of star sprinter Jack Ball. Since 19 of the 21 boys traveling to state meets were either juniors or sophomores, Coach Mike Dardis anticipates a successful season next year. Junior Terry HufT demonstrates the form and strength with which he broke the state shot put record. 118 apture Third Place in the State Indoor Meet Coaches Ira Dunsworth, Mike Dardis, and Dale Giesler check official time records against their stop watches.

Girls’ Tennis Replaces ’62 Grads and Wins When a team of any kind loses half of its varsity squad from one year to the next, breaking in the new team is rough. This was the situation facing Miss Betty Smith when she took over her new job as girls' tennis coach; five of the top seven 1961-62 squad had graduated. This year’s team, however, practiced hard and ended its fall season rcwardingly with wins of two singles matches and two doubles matches and losses of the same number. The girls rated third in fall competition of both regular and tournament matches between the five participating schools. With long, hard practices, first in the small gym to avoid cold weather and then on the Duck Creek courts, the team looked forward to a successful spring season and an improved record. Miss Betty Smith watches with a critical eye her Number 1 player. Barb Price, as she serves. 120 Practices Build Endurance for Boys' Tennis Hard work and long hours of practice, not just playing but running distances for endurance, were constantly preparing the boys’ tennis team for its many meets. The team, coached by Mr. Don Gren- sing, met after school every night for either practice or a meet. The fall competing team was made up of six play- ers— four seniors, one junior, and one sophomore. To the regular team play record of four wins and four losses last fall, the team added a fourth place in the doubles tournament and a second in the singles. This spring's team included a total of five boys. They are, not in position order: Ron Cooper, Mike Denger, Jon Miller, Jim Paul, and Hugh Stafford. Ray Hardesty was the sixth member of the fall team. All the boys of the varsity team looked forward to a fine spring season of play and to a high team rating in the annual spring district meets. Jim Paul. Number 1 player, seems to have the knack of it. Right, Coach Don Grensing? Front Row: Ray Hardesty. Bruce Judd, Herman Gocllnitz, Tom Milligan, Jim Paul. Ron Cooper. Mike Denger.

This year's team was under the guidance of Miss Patricia Pike. On the top of the ladder this year was senior Lynn Townsend followed by juniors Barb Barnard, Mary Carmody, Karen Horst, Barb Mayer, Peggy Nordeen, and Monica Ponce. Also pushing for positions were sophomores Mimi Greer, Barb McConnell, Rosanne Moscowitz, and Kathy O'Toole. As soon as weather permitted, the group spent many afternoons on the course improving their skills. The opposing teams on the schedule for both sea- sons were Moline, Rock Island, and West. Senior Lynn Townsend, Number 1 player on the girls' golf team, finds the advice of Coach Patricia Pike invaluable. Front Row: Barb Mayer, Peggy Nordeen.

Tom Hosford. Dave Murphy, Steve Hook, Cal Werner, Chuck Zion. Pat Stopulos. Keith Hertzenberg, Jack Mendel- sohn, Mike Hosford. Ron Calhoun, Neil Rasmussen. It appeared as if inexperience would hold back this year’s golf team; but with three returning letter- men — Keith Hertzenberg, Jack Mendelsohn, and Neil Rasmussen — the fall players had a successful season, as they placed second in the Quad-City Golf Tournament. Adding depth to the squad were sophomores Tom Hosford, Dave Murphy, Fred Shamon, Pat Stopulos, Cal Werner, and Chuck Zion. With this fall success, Coach Ralph Kershaw looked forward to the remainder of his first year of coach- ing with optimism as the first spring practices began. Five of the 20 matches on the schedule were to determine the Quad-City crown, while the remaining events led up to conference and district meets held in mid-May. The golf team was also invited to attend the Iowa Mississippi Valley Invitational as part of its round of matches. It was hopefully that Coach Kershaw and his young golfers looked forward to the State Tour- nament held May 25. Coach Ralph Kershaw checks the stance of one of his top golfers, junior Keith Hertzenberg. 123 Looks Like the Weatherman Is a Baseball Fa Front Row: Rick Schmann, Henry Owens. John Wright.

The baseball team got a fortunate break from the weatherman this year as a mild, dry spring allowed the Imps to get out earlier and get their bats tuned up for the rough season. With only four returning lettermen, Coach Bill Freese relied on the juniors, who paced last year's sophomore squad and even reached down to the soph- omore class for a catcher. This year's team did have a stable pitching staff, most of whom could play other positions, which led to many strange faces at unfamiliar positions. The club probably had as much, if not more, depth at every position as any team in the conference. The Imps realized they didn't have a great deal of power so the team decided they would have to hustle to win their games, and that’s just what they did until it came time to hang up their uniforms at the season's end. 124 Discussing the starting line-up with Coach Bill Freese are seniors Larry Rathje ami Mike Stroehle.

Competition Keeps Sophomores Hustling Coach Nick Avclchas and Hank Miguel show Jay Hamburg and Chet Ossowski the proper way to hold a bat without breaking it. Even after varsity players were chosen, sophomore Coach Nick Avelchas found himself with 40 boys to fill the nine positions. This resulted in keen competi- tion and a team that really hustled right up to the last game. This year’s squad had big shoes to fill as last year’s team complied a 9-2 record and won the Quad-City Championship title. In addition to this task, the team faced a vigorous schedule of three games each with West, Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline, all of which supplied the best of competition and excitement. Early warm weather was a definite asset as the team got out to the Brady Street Field in mid-April for some good hitting practice. Enthusiastic boys took full advantage of the opportunity. According to Coach Avclchas, the team was made up of fighting boys who are good prospects for next year’s varsity squad. 126 : JA' ✓A' TOP, Front Row: Diane Smith.

Students Aid CHS Sports Behind the Scene Athletic managers often receive little recognition for their time and energy, but any of the CHS coaches would agree that their work is invaluable. They're the fellas behind the scenes of the championship teams, and their job is far from glamorous as they perform various activities such as passing out towels and running errands. Their efforts arc so important that they arc awarded athletic letters with the teams at the banquets held at the close of each season. Miss Marjorie Holderness, girls' gym instructor, has a staff of life guards which she wouldn't trade for anything. All having earned their Red Cross Senior Lifesaving cards, the girls assist her in teach- ing and establishing order necessary for water safety. Girls' classes are in the pool daily during first semester, and most of the guards give up at least five study halls a week to lend a helping hand and a watchful eye.

After attending early morn- ing instruction classes, approximately 60 girls go be- fore judges each spring with hopes of being selected for a squad. For the 15 lucky girls the work continues through the hot summer months, both individually and in group formations. Their efforts resulted in the varsity squad being able to do more complex cheers, even including flips and double flips. Working just as hard as the girls was adviser and chauffeur Miss Marjorie Holderness. New cheers, chants, and a pep song were intro- duced at pep auds and then used either on the foot- ball field or basketball floor. The pepsters also stirred up enthusiasm at swim and wrestling meets.

The feeling of enthusiasm they arouse is their reward. 129 WE ARE ACTIVE... Our clubs center on such a wide variety of subjects that every student can join one reflecting his interest. We have groups for athletes, artists, linguists, pepsters, journalists, dramatists, scientists, and public speakers. Activities range from sponsoring dances and parties to selling paperback books and popcorn, and service projects are an important part of most club programs. The chief purposes of student organizations are to supplement our classroom studies in an informal atmosphere, to build leadership qualities, and to bring about friendship in students of common interests. Much appreciation goes to our advisers who help us so much to plan our activities 131 CHS Council Sets U[ Looks like another basket for bouncing Bob Ballard as the faculty mops the students: but cheers by Stan Berger, John Viksne, George Smull, and Gary Goldsmith spark student hopes. Following their election in the fall, the Student Council representatives chose four officers to organ- ize the year’s activities. Under a committee system, the council worked on a variety of school problems and projects. Meeting during study halls, the com- mittees made several recommendations to the Dav- enport School Board. A faculty-student basketball game with zany cheer- leaders and old-time yells, a three flight penny-drop, a jazzy concert, and a dance were combined into the council's campaign for a successful Foreign Student Week. The Hearts and Dollars” project raised $625 toward financing next year's foreign student. Contributing to school spirit, the council got a C” painted on the gym floor and sold pep buttons for the tournament basketball games. By working to get a sign for the front of the school, the council also carried out its responsibility to the student body. 132 Committees To Study School Problems Newly elected Student Council officers go over their plans for the coming year with Mr. Orville Kahler. adviser. They arc: president Jim Rich- ard. vice president Nancy Shafer, secretary Barb Beiter, and treasurer Jim Carlton. Lilia Ferro suggests ideas for Foreign Student Week to co-chairmen Greg Sears and Candy Wiebcner. Off to the Quint-Cities Student Congress with Mr. Orville Kahler, adviser, are CHS representatives Sue Dee Smith. Tom Fritzsche. Frank Folwcll, Barb Beiter, and John Viksne.

After a student has contributed 100 hours in play production and has achieved a certain degree of ex- cellence in acting, he may be invited to join the National Thespian Honor Societ)', Troupe 510, of Central High School. Thespians, an honorary dramatics society with the purpose of promoting a sense of refinement in ex- pression on the stage, is advised by Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist. Points are earned through working on stage crews, helping on committees, giving individual play cut- tings, being members of play casts, and participating in other phases of theater work. Students who have met the requirements of the society are asked to join at either the winter or spring banquet. At this time they repeat the oatli to uphold Thespian tradition, and the)' are given a small gold pin to signify membership and a year's subscription to the organization's magazine, Dramatics. At Central, Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, means more than a gold pin on the collar; the program planned by top journalists was extensive. Activities began with promotion of National News- paper Week, October 14-20, by means of displays and posters. The group was fortunate to hear Mr. Sander Van- ocur, NBC White House correspondent, speak on his career; and though not nearly so glamorous, members themselves wrote features for their bi-weekly column in the Daily Times as part of Quill and Scroll’s CHS News Service. April 3 saw six new members initiated into the group at a special dessert meeting with Mr. Henry Hook, publisher of the Morning Democrat, speaking on his recent trip around the world. Also in the spring the creative writing contest was sponsored, with winning entries being printed in the Blackhawk newspaper. Looking for ideas for the creative writing contest are officers Linda Severson, vice president; Lori Meier, secretary; Jed Morris, president.

Songs, Slides, Native If France is your dreamland, you could have taken a fast, economical, and fascinating trip” with French Club members, who toured” France at their meetings throughout the year. To enable the club members to visit” the sights of France, Miss Dorothy Blackman, club adviser, showed slides featuring both tourist attractions and native scenes that she had photographed on her recent trip. Following a chorus of French songs, their agenda often included student reports on some of the well- known aspects of French life—perfumes, fashions, art, and music. Like any American tourists, club members struggled with their translating as M. Maurice Petit and his family from Marseille, France, spoke to them entirely in French at their Christmas meeting.

Speakers included Lloyd Kittlaus, a former club president, whose subject was the calendar, and the Rev. Harold Toney of the New Hope Baptist Church, who gave an enlightening talk entitled You.” The traditional doughnut meeting was held for enjoyment only. It had its origin several years ago when dozens of extra doughnuts were ordered by mistake. Carols in Latin, sung by Karen Marinaccio, high- lighted the Christmas meeting. Working crossword puzzles and riddles from a folder prepared by mem- bers was both entertaining and educational. According to Mr. Elihu Cooper, the group's ad- viser, the club supplements the formal study of Latin, in which students learn the origin and character of our institutions, correlating them to problems of the past to avoid the same mistakes.

German Culture Encourages Club Activities Living in the Midwest, an area settled by Germans, there are many marks of their influence that cause students of Central to take an active interest in the German language and way of life. The club attempts to enliven the formal study of the German language by offering interested students a chance to get together and learn to understand the people and their culture. Besides actually speaking phrases in German, slides, films, speakers, songs, and folk dances help to ac- complish this purpose. Members of the club arc encouraged to attain high academic achievement in the subject by the annual presentation of awards to the most outstanding first- and second-year students by Mrs. Carole Elmer, club adviser. The year was climaxed with the annual language- clubs' picnic held in the spring. 142 German Club officers take note of the German influences found in their homes. They are: Doug Hosford. president: Pete Eckhardt, vice presi- dent; I.imla Stark, secretary-treasurer. GRA Is Busy with Projects and Personages GRA began the year by introducing new officers and outlining the activities to round out a busy year for Central’s largest club. After a get-acquainted picnic was held in Septem- ber, active members began planning the November Spree centered around a Southern Fantasy theme. Weeks of planning, designing, and hammering paid off in a successful turnabout dance. Christmas was observed with a party for members planned by GRA juniors. Sendee projects included baking cookies for a nursing home and making Santas for children in hospitals. A tradition for GRA, the organization sent canned food and a Christmas tree to a needy family. Other winter activities included a bowling party and a roller skating party during January. In March, GRA joined Tri-Y to present the an- nual spring style show with the help of club advisers Miss Marjorie Holderncss, Miss Patricia Pike, and Miss Betty Smith. Taking advantage of a rare spare moment, GRA adviser Miss Marjorie Holderncss wonders if she'll actually get a chance to finish that hamburger.

Led by Award Winners, Club Continues Sport' Awards based on the point system were presented to qualifying members at the annual GRA banquet at Newcomb Presbyterian Church May 22. New officers were introduced to round out the busy year. Throughout the year, members accumulated points by participating in such activities as guarding during swimming classes, selling refreshments at games, cheerleading, and intramurals. Those girls compiling 500 points were awarded a small D” while those earning 1000 points received a state pin as recognition and honor. The Girls' Recreation Association, a club with a membership of approximately 450 girls, strives to improve sportsmanship not only in its own member- ship but also throughout the school. The large number of award winners directly re- flects the amount of interest taken in the varied and active program of projects and events. Christmas was a little brighter for hospitalized children, thanks to these GRA girls who created paper Santas for them. 144 Front Row: Carolyn Hamburg, Karen Luethye, Gail Graham. Jeanne Miller.

Clarks Tri-Y Schedule Busy activities keynoted this year's Tri-Y program of social and service projects. Members enjoyed a beauty demonstration given by Mr. Rex Tague, and lectures given by foreign students of Marycrest and Palmer Colleges from Colombia, Panama, South Africa, and Sweden. At monthly meetings the girls planned for their Christmas dance, Glitter and Glow, which was held at St. John s Fellowship Hall. It was contrasted by the annual spring Klem Kadiddlc Hop.” Tri-Y combined its efforts with those of GRA to present the annual style show held in March. Holy Week services, planned completely by the group, were held before school the week of April 8. Assisting in the services were YMCA members. The busy year was climaxed with the annual Rose- Banquet, the final meeting, at which newly elected officers were installed. Divided into chapters by classes, Tri-Y is the teen- age organization of the YWCA.

Central's Artists View Professionals at Work Each year Art Club members get a chance to widen and enrich their background and appreciation in the field of the fine arts. This year was no exception. At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Shirley Hey- singer, well-known Davenport artist, spoke to the Art Club members and demonstrated portraiture. Isabel Bloom, professional New York sculptress, also visited the Art Club where she gave demonstra- tions on sculpturing and working with clay. This spring the club made its annual trip to the Chicago Art Institute. The purpose, of course, was educational as well as entertaining. The student artists toured the institute, enjoying not only painting but also pieces of sculpture. With the help of faculty adviser Mr. James Con- away, the club also participated in the sidewalk Art Fair this spring. Laying down their paint brushes, to admire a painting arc officers Margo Holgorsen, vice president; Lori Meier, presi- dent', Ray Ward, treasurer; and Kathc Radden, secretary. 148 NFL Contestants Never at Loss for Words The purpose of the National Forensic League is to give national recognition to good high school speech contestants through various awards and through the national publication, Rostrum. Recognition is cli- maxed by the privilege to participate in a national speech contest. District finals this year were held in Newton, March 7-9. Debate, girls' and boys' extemporaneous speak- ing, original oratory, and dramatic interpretation were the participating areas. Coaching the students was Mr. James Barlow, adviser. To be a member of NFL, students must have earned 25 points and must be in the upper two-thirds of their class. In addition, new members must be approved by other NFL members. Central's NFL activity is large. The size of the chapter is determined by the number of degrees received by accumulating a certain number of points. With this system, Central ranks second in the state.

This year's enthusiastic club boasted approximately 70 members, advised by Mr. Jim Fox. To become a D-Man, one must earn a major letter in a sport at Central. Club initiations arc not the usual capers but are such practical stunts as scrubbing the swimming pool and helping at track meets. During the school year the D-Men perform various services. This year the club purchased a whirlpool for the boys' locker room jointly with the Parents' Booster Club. Their other service projects included taking handicapped children to a basketball and base- ball game. The boys did their best to stir up school spirit as they sold megaphones and pep buttons and cheered as a group at athletic events. The annual D-Men's party this year was a square- dance and swimming party held April 19. Officers of the ''strongest club at Central are Rollie Miller, president (seated); Larry Schreiber, secretary-treasurer; and Dave Campbell. vice president.

Members put into practice the skills they have learned and create a perfect formation to be presented in their water show. 154 Rainbow and Rhythm' Natare climaxed a year of hard work with the presentation of Rainbow and Rhythm, its third annual water show. Weekly meetings and special rehearsals paid off in perfect strokes and more elaborate figures in per- formance. The girls choreographed the entire show, stressing mood and colors. The synchronized swimmers viewed water presen- tations of area high schools and the annual Dolphin show at the State University of Iowa. Stiff try-outs for new members, held early in the fall, were conducted by the advisers, Miss Marjorie Holdcrness and Mrs. Ruth Johnson, Scott County water safety director. Highly competitive, approxi- mately 50 percent of the girls that tried out were accepted by the organization. To enable Natare members to improve their strokes, diving, and gracefulness, they keep individual score sheets, which clearly show skills which need practice. Front Row: Jeanne Miller. Karen Lucthye.

Their activities began with the Southeast District FTA convention held at North Scott High School where Suzy Hartung was elected next year's district president. Also included in the club's program was the fall picnic, the faculty coffee in December, and a talk by Prin. Roger Berry. Senior members, and non-members as well, supple- mented the meetings with participation in Career Day discussions on education. Also providing interest was the Prospective Teachers’ Day held at Marycrest Col- lege. Events of the day included a luncheon, visits to actual classrooms, and group discussions. Group ac- tivities were climaxed at the State FTA convention in the spring.

Scientists Further Understanding by Projects Although rockets and house flics have little in common, they both fly; and they both were the sub- jects of projects entered in local science fairs by members of Science Club. At bi-weekly meetings, scientists discussed present scientific discoveries and advancements. Senior John Viksne told the group of his experiences at the A’rgonnc Laborator)', as part of a summer session at Northwestern University, and at the National Youth Conference on the Atom in Chicago. Students in the club set their common goal to ex- hibit in the Science Fair held at West High School in February and at the Quint-City Fair in April. Members got together to compare and help each other with their projects that included every phase of science. Science Club officers and their adviser.

We live through stage fright time and again; and, of course, the show goes on. The band at halftime, the All-School Play, state music contests, the important debates, the never-ending pub- lication deadlines all help add an extra inch of maturity as we look towards another higher and better goal. To cap it all, the annual spring Fine Arts Festival publicly shows the result of a year’s hard work — the diversified creativeness of the CHS student. ▼ 161 Second Annual Festival Furthers Traditio Working with students to set up attractive displays is art adviser Mr. James Conaway. 162 )f Recognizing Student Talent in Fine Arts The May 7 Spring Concert, held in conjunction with the festival, was one of the major public performances of the select CHS a Cappella. directed by Mr. Milton Anderson. Jim Sanders and Rita Huss think the pitch. Melodious songs of spring fill the auditorium as the orchestra, directed by Mr. Rayburn Pierce, plays. The CHS art department, headed by Mr. James Conaway, believes that everyone is born with the de- sire to create and hopes to give this inborn ability a chance to grow. With this Fine Arts Festival, the art department wishes to show the creative growth of the students, along with their technical progress. Approximately $0 young artists entered the com- petition in early May. The judges selected first-, second-, and third-place winners in each of three fields — painting, sculpture, and graphics. They also chose an over-all winner of the art division as well as numerous honorable mentions. The Spring Concert is but one of the many activ- ities of the music department which provides an op- portunity for talented students to present solos and group work. The a Cappella, directed by Mr. Milton Anderson, and the orchestra, directed by Mr. Ray- burn Pierce, presented the combined program May 7 in conjunction with the spring festival. 163 The Imaginary Invalid Cast: Dave Dardis.

J Penny Goetz Organizations Editor Teen Editor Vicki Morris Picture Editor Teen Editor i 166 Lori Meier and Jed Morris plan a picture preview of the '63 yearbook for the January sales campaign. Memorable Year Between Two Covers Baby chicks, Charlie Brown, an oversized Spree corsage, and even a witch’s caldron (for editors in a stew) brought happiness” to the '63 Blackhawk yearbook staff; but it was the 204-page book itself that put the editors all in smiles. All the Things We Are” emerged as the theme of the book after the August organization meetings with advisers Miss Marilyn Kelsey and Mr. Frank Tank. Then began the idea search in picture maga- zines and past yearbooks. Delegates to the National Scholastic Press Con- ference held in Chicago brought back more ideas from All American” publications on covers, copy, layouts, and sales campaigns. Under the campaign slogan Happiness is the 1963 Blackhawk,” the staff sold 1200 books, reach- ing its goal. The week's activities included a short aud skit, homeroom visitations, a display of year- book production steps, and a picture preview of the book. To give interested students firsthand experience, this year’s junior assistants began doing odds and ends” in the office. Also aiding the seniors were the ad staff and members of the journalism class who wrote copy. Realizing that all work and no play makes a dull staff, the editors celebrated birthdays, holidays, and the successful completion of each deadline.

Backed by such organizations as the Parents’ Club and directed by Mr. Forrest Mortiboy, the CHS band has become one of the finest in the state. The band also furnishes entertainment for the student body at various auds and programs. A favorite with students is the Pops Concert performed with the a Cappella and orchestra early in the year. At Christmas nearly 3000 people filled the Ma- sonic Temple to attend the band’s yearly performance prior to the Messiah concert. Traveling to Iowa City in January, the band at- tended a band clinic; and in February, members par- ticipated in the Variet)' Show. In May the musicians played in the annual Music Festival held this year in Burlington. CHS Band Performs Front Row: J. Rohweddcr, J. Young. L. Paarmann, D. Welshhons, S. Bell, L. Kahlcr, D.

Tonight we shall walk in zc beautiful realm of love wiss ze songs of love as our guide. says emcee Dave Cassling as he opens the show. Waiting for her cue, dance soloist Cathy Alfre dreams of future stages. Love makes the world go round . . As this popular melody flowed into the auditorium, the curtains parted on the opening chorus of the 1963 Variety Show. The theme, Love Songs,” blended strains of romantic tunes in the setting of Paris, with Dave Cassling as emcee. Vocal soloists were Jane White and Brad LeHew. Small groups included the boys' quartet and the girls' trio. Rita Huss and Jim Sanders won applause with their duet from Porgy and Bess. Sparkle was added to the show by dance lines and dance soloists Cathy AfTre, Irene Blaser, Judi Lange, Vicki Townsend, and Barb Wickham. For a touch of humor Karen Marinaccio and Dave Cassling portrayed love in the Gay 90’s” while the boys’ kick line brought hilarity with the can-can. Instrumental groups showed their talents, and the a Cappella sang favorites— Moon River and Song of Love.” Rounding out the show were a marimba solo by Sue Olson and a baton act by Pat Cartee. 180 n Romantic Variety Show, 'Love Songs' Intrigued is the word for the backstage audience as they watch the dance line through the curtains. The biggest surprise of the program came with Central’s leading lovelies dancing their version of the ever popular can-can. At left, junior Mike Pollitz looks somewhat aghast as his dressing room privacy is invaded by both Bill Carlson and a photographer. 181 ACTIVITIES INDEX A Cappella .................................176 All-School Play ............................172 All-State Music ............................174 Art Club ...................................148 Award Auds ................................. 19 Band........................................178 Baseball ...................................124 Basketball..................................112 Black hawk Newspaper .......................168 Blackhawk Yearbook .........................166 Clem ....................................... 96 Cheerleaders ...............................128 D-Men ......................................152 Debate .....................................170 DEC A.......................................156 Dramatics Club..............................150 Fine Arts Festival..........................162 Football ...................................102 Foreign Student ............................ 77 French Club.................................136 FTA ........................................158 German Club ................................142 Golf .......................................122 GRA.........................................143 Homecoming ................................. 80 Junior Class Party ......................... 91 Latin Club..................................140 Managers .....................................127 Minstrel Show.................................180 Natare .......................................154 NFL ..........................................149 Orchestra ....................................175 Outstanding Athletes .........................100 Play Festivals ...............................173 Pool Guards...................................127 Prom ......................................... 97 Quill and Scroll .............................135 Science Club .................................159 Seniors ...................................... 46 Senior Class Play.............................164 Sophomore Class Party......................... 92 Spanish Club..................................138 Spree ........................................ 86 Student Council ..............................132 Student Life .................................. 4 Swimming .................................... 108 Swirl ........................................ 93 Tennis .......................................120 Thespians.....................................134 Top Scholars ................................. 18 Track ........................................117 Tri-Y ........................................146 Tri-Y Christmas Dance ........................ 96 Wrestling.....................................110 182 Faculty, Staff, Administration Index A Adams.

It is a reminder of ideals, a stimulator to greater achievement. It is tangible evidence that the holder demonstrated good sense by staying in school and graduating. The diploma sometimes is a passport to college or to that job open only to persons with a high school education. It does indeed open a few doors, but what happens on the other side depends almost solely upon the holder. To Davenport s newest high school diploma winners, Wagners Printers say Congratulations!

For the Blackhawk staff it included many crises, disappointments, failures, high blood pressures, never-ending and ever-present deadlines; yet most important of all, it included final pleasure and knowledge of a job done to the best of our ability. Of course, the successful completion of the 1963 yearbook would have been impossible without the able direction of adviser Miss Marilyn Kelsey, whose patience (thank heavens) never seemed to end; adviser Mr. Frank Tank, who rescued us with last-minute photographs and tried to watch the purse-strings at the same time; Mr. Ted Nelson and Wagners Printers, who were always ready to offer helpful and much-needed suggestions, technical skill, and necessary deadline reminders',; Mr. Harry Boll of The Morning Democrat. whose excellent pictures made the yearbook; the CHS office staff, who endured our constant stream of inquiries; Mr. Roger Berry and Mr. Orville Kahler, principal and assistant principal who always willingly co-operated; the Central faculty, who were plagued with notices, calls, interruptions, and sudden requests such as just say cheese”; all the staff members, who worked under pressure and produced exceedingly,” especially photo, copy, and ad editors Vicki Morris, Barb Rostenbach, and Jed Morris, who went through more trials and tribulations than should be; the junior assistants — John Gruhl Marilyn Metcalf, Marilyn Ough, Debbie Seitz, and Maija Viksne — who learned the hard way; all the co-operative copy writers who anonymously added to the book; our parents, who suffered through wee hours and noisy meetings, yet somehow remained calm; the school janitors, who waited patiently for late editors to leave the publications office and at many times opened doors for our access; and, most of all, you the students, for all the things you were, are, and will always continue to be. School life will go on during other years, and other staffs with love for journalism will compile other yearbooks; but the things from you, the 1963 students, will never again be exactly duplicated. For this reason yearbooks exist. You, the individuals, are in a very real sense this book. Lori Meier Editor ALL THE THINGS WE ARE — all the wonderful things which we'll always remember about 1963 at Central — a year of memories, dreams, and hopes. With these thoughts in mind to direct us in the future, the '63 Blackhawk staff expresses thanks and best wishes to everyone who made us all the things we are. 204
