For many young people who had come two years before, this year would be favorite above all the others. Schedules were jumbled and then picked apart, pieced back together and finally thrown out. Students were weary and ready to leave, almost everyone could see how the school year would be. A 5 w Questionable looks were tossed back and forth, as new faces and shapes appeared through the large doors. 6 7 Tears, pain, and laughter all laid in store as the completely new school year started to roll. And everyone wondered. . . Has CHS changed? 8 10 With all the changes the new schedule brought, I sometimes wondered what would be the next stop. Shorter days, longer lunches, and open campus too, it became the popular way for a completely fantastic day. The thoughts you are reading are not mine alone. They are the students, the teachers, and most everyone you know. I'm asking this question for all students sake. . . Has the quality of Central High really changed? 16 Those extra hours 17 AFS members frolic in the sun. 18 This year an American Field Service (A.F.S.) Club was established at Central High School. The formation of such a student club was recommended because Central has been an active participant in the A.F.S. rep- resentative, and other A.F.S. promoters, were instru- mental in the development of the club. There are no requirements for membership in the club. President Steve Ceurvorst encourages students to join in saying, “Membership is open to anyone at anytime.” Secretary Nancy Kuta explains that the pur- pose of the A.F.S. Club is to promote the student’s interest in the American Field Service Program and to acquaint the Foreign Exchange Students with the stu- dent body. Bi-monthly meetings are held in various members’ homes on alternate Sunday afternoons. The nature of the meetings range from an occasional busi- ness meeting, organizing bake sales and other fund- raising projects to social outings such as the January tobogganing party. In April, Lina and Azzie, C.H.S. for- eign exchange students, were able to meet with other foreign exchange students from other area schools. Bart Becker, A.F.S. Club advisor, predicts that the A.F.S. Club will “grow and take within the next few years and become an effective liaison between the for- eign exchange student and the community.

This year there are about 45 members,” just a fraction of the number of athletes that have received a varsity letter this year. A 50 £ member- ship fee is required from each person that desires to be in the club. When asked if D’ Men’s Club did anything to benefit the school, Tom replied, Many of the members help sell programs and usher at our home basketball games.” D’ Men’s Club is unlike other clubs around Cen- tral, other clubs try to benefit their members, D’ Men’s tries to benefit organizations outside of our school. Varsity football coach Jim Fox, varsity golf coach Ralph Kershaw, and varsity baseball coach Bill Freese are the advisors for the club. This year’s officers are President Curtis Craig, Vice-president Steve Ceurvorst, and Treasurer Pete Miclot. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the cafeteria. Usually, refreshments are served while the members gather for the meet- ing. At the meetings the members discuss new ideas about raising money. When asked who usu- ally did the speaking at meetings, Tom replied, Most of the time the advisors and officers do.” This year D’ Men’s Club has had several suc- cessful projects and they hope to do even better next year.

The 25 mem- bers of the club include students talented in drama, theatre technique, and music. “Drama club also promotes interest in theatre through trips to local college and high school productions as well as those produced by profes- sional theatre groups,” states Mr. Nabb. One of the biggest accomplishments of the club is the reinstitution of the National Thespian Society Troupe at Central. This is a society open to stu- dents who have worked at least 100 hours on some aspect of theatre in high school. Students are also sponsored by the club to try out for summer theatre groups and are encour- aged to participate in community theatre. They are also sponsored to audition for scholarships at vari- ous colleges. Through its activities the club also struggles to revitalize the auditorium which has so much equip- ment that desperately needs repair or replace- ment. With meetings every other Tuesday in Room 33 at 3 pm, Drama club is active and encourages more students to get involved in theatre. Lights, camera, action1 I wished somebody loved me. Where are ya'. mom? I know you're out there somewhere. The coming of the fall all school play brings the unfolding of Thornton Wilder’s widely recognized play, ‘‘The Matchmaker” under the direction of Thomas Naab. Students hopeful of being cast in the play must drop their own personality and take on that of their particular character. Stephanie Naab takes on the task of designing and construct- ing costumes accurate to the time period involved, Mary Jo Blanchard accepts the difficult and exas- perating job of assistant director, Steve Manlove heads publicity, and Bryan Wingo designs the effective lighting. The play is the one on which the famous musical ‘‘Hello Dolly” is based. In “The Matchmaker,” Bar- naby and Cornelius who are clerks in a hardware store, leave Yonkers and go to New York in search of adventure. During this excursion they meet two young women, and Dolly Levi arranges all the matches. The curtain closes one last time, the lights dim, and another production has been a success. She had so many children, she didn't know what to do! Have mercy upon us. As the production date for the all school play approaches. “Dark of the Moon” by Howard Rich- ardson and William Berny is readied for its spring debut. Under the direction of Thomas Naab the cast is chosen to portray the folk of the Smokey Mountains. The elaborate pieces of scenery are constructed. Stephanie Naab designs the seduc- tive costuming. Sonia Christopher and Deb Mullins are chosen as assistant directors, Chris Jansen heads the program committee, and Bryan Wingo designs the eerie lighting. “Dark of the Moon” is based on the ballad of Barbara Allen. In the play. John the witch boy changes into a human so he can marry the beauti- ful Barbara Allen. They have a witch child and it is burned by the neighbors. When Barbara is untrue to him. John returns forever to the world of moun- tain witches. The house lights dim. the curtain opens, and a “daringly experimental play goes over as a com- plete success. Uh one an uh two!

National Forensic League members have made a name for Central across the state. Almost every weekend, from the beginning of October to the end of March, these full-fledged students attended various contests full of tension and frustrations, and strived to earn trophies to uphold this state reputation. The importance of the competitive speech department to the school is overwhelming as it represents Central with better quality and higher capability than any other organization including athletics. Competing branches into different events for the different individuals. Debate consists of one 4-per- son team, debating the National topic, affirmative or negative. While Individual Events range in areas from dramatic interpretation to Original Oratory. Two seniors who have an outstanding perform- ance are Rich Simmons and Mike Lewis who have won more than half of the trophies in Individual Events. These two have joined N.F.L. late in the fall. Ranking first place in Individual Events were: Mike Lewis, Rich Simmons, Eric Clausen, Max Miller and Leigh Hunt. First place in debate have been: Championship — Dave Fritzche, Marion Lineberry, Doug Wells, and Dan Lyons. While the first year Debaters, Nov- ice, are: Karen Garrison, Linda Caldwell, Max Miller, John Gaffney, Jayne Perry, and Mike Brown. Popcorn munchers and candy buyers have invested their money in the Speech Budget to struggle out of the red. For this is a way the pro- gram functions, to fulfill the costs for the Speech Events around the state. 35 ait i - - ■ jgg - V , „ ■ ■• fi iS . . . hard work 36 As in any organization, there are hurdles in its prosperity to problems and in Public Speaking there is no exception. The main problem is with recruiting as self-scheduling blocks people out, Jr. High programs have just started, there is not enough inter- est in a school this size, and there is too much emphasis on athletics. Although tasks like these shall be over- come as time progresses. 38 The Parent’s Club manages the team’s financing and puts out a lavish banquet for the hardworking individu- als. The officers of N.F.L. consist of: Doug Wells, Presi- dent: Marion Lineberry, Vice-President; and Bob Wells as a sexy Secretary. With lots of help from Mr. Tom Jansen our instructor. All in all, competitors have gained respect and admi- ration throughout the state as VICTORS. The winners as well as the losers will never forget the hard work and tension behind each contest that went into the making of 1973-1974 Competitive Speakers. 39 Language Clubs Spanish “Spanish Club is a practical experience in speaking the language and a cultural experience due to the trips.’’ These were the views of senior Jayne Heppe when asked how the club has helped her as an individual. She feels that it helps the stu- dents get to know the advisors and the other stu- dents outside the classroom atmosphere. The club advisors are Arthur Coleman and Miss Judy Vukelich. The club officers are President Cathy Schellenger, Vice-President Paula Smith, Treasurer Allison McKay, and Secretary Lori Tho- mison. According to Coleman there is a large num- ber of members but a significant number is unknown. “Spanish Club is an important part of my educa- tional program because the practice I get in speak- ing Spanish at the meeting and the cultural values I receive on the trips are something I couldn't get in a classroom,’’ states Jayne. German “Acquainting students with German Culture and other active customs,” is the purpose of German Club, states club advisor Mrs. Carlene Win. Some of these cultures are exercised through a dinner. The dinner is usually in the spring and the students prepare the traditional German foods. “Really the club allows kids to get acquainted with other kids of Central that they otherwise would not be in con- tact with,” Mrs. Win adds. Reflecting upon this year’s German Club, Mrs. Win says, “Enrollment isn’t high. It’s a small club. But I feel that it’s not how many are in the club, but that those who are interested get something out of it. Our meetings are simple. We look for the basics.” 40 Latin The purpose of the Latin Club is “to create inter- est in the study of Latin, to encourage the reading of the classics and to spread the knowledge of the life and literature of Greece and Rome,” according to Mary Ann Preacher, Consul I or President of the organization. Latin Club gives the students from all Latin classes an opportunity to get together in a group, to share their ideas about Latin and to have fun. Each year the members plan an end-of-the-year banquet at which they act out skits, have a “big feast,” and dress in Roman togas. “The togas add a touch of Rome to the banquet and make it all the more fun!” states Mary Ann. Other officers of Latin Club are Consul II or Vice- President Jacque Nelson, and Scriba Questor or Secretary Treasurer Sarah Witte. Mr. Elijah Cooper is the faculty advisor for the club. French There appears to be a renewal of interest in aca- demic clubs at Central. The best example of that is the CHS French Club. Judging the reasons for the club’s success, Chris Fredericksen, the advisor, says, “It isn’t all my doing,” but that the students have worked hard and caused a “renewal of inter- est” in the club. There are 110 members who meet every third Thursday evening in a member’s home for the French Club meetings. The officers are President Terry Agnitch, Vice-President Lizzie Hunt, Secre- tary Sarah Cartwright, Treasurer Nancy Kuta, and Program Chairman Brett Batterson. Fredericksen is a firm believer in the French Club as a purposeful education experience. He says, “It ideally provides a logical extension of the classroom.” and that “clubs may be a new direc- tion for students — a wave of the future. ” 41 Music, Music, Music “Music isn’t the only thing a person can get out of a cappella. Music is a lan- guage with a private message that con- veys certain emotions.’’ Those are the words of senior Martha Haut, one of many of Central’s students who’s college bound to music. “Music is a great self discipline,” con- tinues Martha. “I feel so much closer to the kids in a cappella than I do to kids in other classes because of the feelings we share through music.” The a cappella, under the direction of Mr. Milton Anderson, prepares, partici- pates, and performs all year round. The annual state contest, the Messiah, the Christmas and Homecoming auds and the Variety show highlight the year for the ninety voice choir. ‘‘Fine Arts in itself is a discipline,” states Mr. Anderson. “We try to bring out the best hard honest efforts.” SENIOR ENSEMBLE (above) Row 1: Julie Anderson.

Satisfaction of being able to do something that you couldn’t do if you hadn’t paid the price. To create what any ordinary man on the street can’t.” Band members seem to enjoy band and have learned many different things. Junior Ken Miller, a trumpet player, relates, “Through band I found out that I’m going to major in music. It gave me better understanding of music, and it gave me something to do on school nights.” Smith also acknowledges band’s goals, “An individual finding out what he can and can’t do with his instrument. On any given year and the given people in band, you can come to excellence and what excellence is. This is done by helping each student understand his capabili- ties and helping him achieve them.” But every organization has its problems and band is no exception. One such obstacle facing band is the raising of money. This is being accom- plished mainly through sale projects and variety show advertisements. The money will be used to buy new band uniforms and to finance a trip to Canada to compete in a band contest. “We’re going to Canada to obtain the degree of excel- lence we didn’t quite obtain last year.” The date for the trip is June 20-24. Through band many different experiences have developed. Canada seems to be a popular response for the most exciting experience in band. From this stemmed other events. Jenni Mayer con- fides, “In Canada I was in my hotel room taking a shower. Three guys walked into our room. Besides that, all of my clothes were outside of the bath- room! How embarrassing.” Giggling, Jennie Jack- son adds, “When we went to Canada, I was voted Sexiest Toes on the bus!” All in all with music concerts, variety show, marching routines which are created Painfully” — students do enjoy band.

Five days a week of group rehearsal, a private lesson and lots and lots of individual rehearsing are the efforts members of the Orchestra put forth. We work with the students six years in the grade and junior high schools before they get to high school, states orchestra director Mr. Ray- burn Pierce. Discipline, hard work and dedication is payed off by the satisfaction of an ample and enthusiastic audience replied Mr. Pierce. “One hates to be snobbish about any kind of worthwhile achievement, continues Mr. Pierce. The plain truth is that playing a violin, cello, viola or string bass requires many years of solid study and work and at the high school level, only the most dedicated survive!

With its 110 members, it has also become one of the most active clubs at our school. Miss Mary Sievert, science club advisor, says “the purpose of the Science Club is to pursue their scientific interest outside of regular school time, and to give them an opportunity to have a little fun.” Why is Science Club so successful? Mrs. Betty Rich, advisor, says, “the success is due to the interest of the students and how well they work together. Merrill Stout, club president, says, “We are successful because of the hard and dedicated work by the mem- bers.” Some of the activities of the Science Club this year has been a research trip to Kansas City, a tour of the College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and Data Processing Center. 48 Thanks. Jerry. Another scientific discovery. They had a Halloween and a Christmas party. To raise money, they had a bazaar and have had numerous bake sales. Miss Sieved and Mrs. Betty Rich are this year's club advisors. The president of the club is Merrill Stout, Vice-President is Bob Voss, Treasurer is Mike Johnson, and the secretary is Kathy Harris. There are no requirements for joining and meet- ings are usually on Wednesday every other week, before and after school. The club hopes to expand in the future. Merrill Stout says, We need more and better speakers chosen by our members. Mrs. Rich says, We would like to have more educational programs, more speakers and also science related activities students can become involved in. Wo gol the shaft guys. Thero's no elevator out this door. Aughumm! This meeting will now come to order. DECA Co-op - Co-op, the cooperative trades and industry pro- gram designed with the intent of training a student for a vocational trade is helping some twenty students get a year's head start for their future per year. “Co-op is a really good program that helps kids get a chance to be able to get into their supposed fields of business in which they plan to go on to after school, commented senior Jennifer Branch. “Each student must work a minimum of fifteen hours and no more than twenty-eight for a five-day week. By February of their sophomore year a student should begin making plans for co-op, and by Febru- ary of their senior year they should sign up,’’ stated Robert Rowe. If a student is unable to obtain a place of employ- ment a coordinator will place a student. Each job must meet the vocational standards, and no place is forced to hire a student, they need only accept to hire him. Each student will also receive credit for working. 50 The 18 members of the club find some time for a few extracurricular activities such as hayrack rides, bowling, and having dinners. DECA is also on the State and National levels. On Oct. 8 and 9, seniors Ed Allchin, Connie Alcala, and Jerry Seier went to Waterloo, Iowa for a state con- vention. There was an election of officers, a dance, and we all wore name tags. It was like we were all press, like in Congress, explains Connie Alcala, secretary of the club. There were approximately 300 students there, and as Ed Allchin put it, it concerned getting involved. Phill Giesler, vice-president, loves his work in the mens’ clothing department at J.C. Penney's. It helps you to learn, mature, and to cope. It’s like living two lives, one with friends, and one with the people at work. If you don’t have college in mind, you have a job waiting. A career, like in retailing, is just like a col- lege course,” stated the senior. When president Kim Elzy was asked, What do you feel has made DECA a success?” she replied, The instructor. Mr. Kortemeyer. Everyone likes him, and he wants to help the kids. Why is DECA a worthwhile group? It helps you to build character and get along with your friends. It helps you to get everything together. You have to have tact, to cope with situations, it tells you what happens, like etiquette. Such are the views of three members of DECA. 51 DECA Distributive Education Clubs of America. What does it do for those involved? It shows you how to relate, to communicate not with just words, but feelings, says senior Kim Elzy, president of DECA. There are three main parts, explains advisor Bill Kortemeyer. Class, job, and club. These three supplement a student’s social and civic life, and it teaches them leadership. 52 “FTA helps give a down to earth view of teach- ing, not just the rewards of it or the glorified part, but also the drudgery of it, too,” explains Mrs. Cherry Mclllvain, club advisor for the Future Teachers Association. The club meets in the morning on the second Tuesday of each month and in the evening on the fourth Thursday of each month. This would explain for the increase of members, this year having 40 members. “If you are really interested in teaching, and you want to know what you’re getting into, then FTA will let you know,” stated Barb Beagle, club secre- tary. The members of FTA take on many projects dur- ing the year. Not only do they help and tutor in the elementary schools, but also right here at Central in the Reading Lab helping Mrs. Donna Kitchell, the instructor. At the various meetings the club has many dif- ferent speakers. Tom Buis spoke on counseling and speakers from the Drop-in Center brought films and talked about how to deal with the prob-’ lem students. These are just a few of the many types of programs the club has at their meetings. Tutors from the Green Acres school also have taken part in the meetings. At these meetings, bed- side mannerism for tutoring is discussed and the many questions are answered. Through FTA, students learn that teaching may be the career for them or that it may be absolutely the wrong position. But whatever the case, FTA is a very enjoyable experience. It gives the total pic- ture of teaching as far as teaching itself, for the members have a chance to go out to the different elementary schools and some junior high schools to practice their skills at teaching. 53 FUQ_ X .

I feel FSA is so successful because of our lead- ership, comments senior vice-president Ruth Stepanek. The club officers are seniors Sandy Stocker, president; Ruth Stepanek, vice-president; Barb Steuart, secretary; and Becky Wolfe, treasurer. The advisors are Mrs. Marie Jeske and Ron John- son. To become a member one must be business oriented, and have taken business courses, says secretary Barb Steuart. For the purpose of FSA is to increase each member’s knowledge of what a business career will hold, what to expect, and how to meet it, states Barb. I feel each member is benefited by the various projects we have, such as guest speakers, the sell- ing of note pads, picnics, dinners, bake sales, and our frequent meetings held in the evening of the second Tuesday of every month at different girls’ homes, says treasurer Becky Wolfe. The reason for our club expanding so well has a lot to do with our members. For each person is really interested and each person always gets involved.” comments Ruth Stepanek. FSA is really a great contribution to school. Secretarial courses are given a deeper purpose in one's life, for they are our road to the future,” says Sandy Stocker. FSA really ties school into the business world to know what to expect before we get there,” says Becky Wolfe. '«A . Remember?- ?$5 C 57 Word The third annual Wordgrain, a totally self-sup- porting magazine featuring students’ art and liter- ary accomplishments, went on sale in February in English classes and in the hallway for the price of one dollar. We went through tons of stories and poems, quips Liz Walker, editor, “but we could always have used more!” she adds. Sarah Cartwright is co-editor and Sara Mast is art editor. Bruce Bothwell, English instructor, is the faculty advisor of the magazine. Bothwell notes that February is a key month for Wordgrain. We will have finished our evaluations and selections of all materials for the magazine, layed it out, prod- uced art work for it, and sold it. The magazine goes to the printer March 1, and it should be ready in mid May.” In considering a specific piece of literature for Wordgrain, the evaluation committee looks for originality, structure, plot, character, description, and style. Both free verse and poetry with a rhyme scheme are accepted. To make sure there is impartiality in evaluation, the names of all authors remain anonymous. 58 Grain Wordgrain welcomed submissions in virtually all types of writing: drama, humor, comic strips, and most of all, art work. Wordgrain sponsored a writ- ing contest which was judged by impartial judges unaffiliated with Central. Five short stories and ten poems were selected from each class. The contest was designed to encourage students to participate in Wordgrain and to interest them in writing. “What a person writes may not seem good enough to him to let someone else read it, states Chuck Van Hecke, evaluation committee member, “but stu- dents should submit things and let us decide if it’s good enough to be published.” The manuscripts that have been submitted to Wordgrain have given me an indepth idea to what goes on in a CHS student’s mind. Peoples’ writing reflects the humor, hang-ups, and the inner thoughts of a person, reveals Liz Walker. (top right) That's definitely a YES! (right) A few more touches I'm done!

Mov- ing to a new “headquarters,” having a new advi- sor, making major innovations in the content and style of the newspaper and yearbook, and starting the Publications Showcase in the Main Street Hall are only a few of the changes. Much new equip- ment for the production of both the paper and the yearbook was also added. The year was one of fun, frustration, tears of joy and sorrow, yelling obscenities at one another, fre- quent arguments, bouts of “I’m sick of this whole thing. After next issue, I quit.

Pub Yearbook Staff Editor-in-Chief: Associate Editor: Associate Editor: Copy Editor: Layout Editor: Becky Simpson Denise Miller Jacque Chance Karen Larkin David Kalshoven The newspaper took on a whole new ‘‘modern look” by changing to the use of more graphics, a magazine style and including more ‘‘in-depth reports” that were concerned with the students at Central, both in and out of school. Surveys of the student body as to their views about controversial issues, interviews with high ranking school officials and a comparison of the facilities at CHS and West High School filled the pages of the various issues. The yearbook’s theme centers on ‘‘Has the Quality Changed?” More student views, issues, conversation and pictures are included in-between its covers. The reality of things at CHS is stressed rather than the unreal. The Publications Showcase was begun to honor or inform the CHS community of various individu- als, groups or actions that specifically pointed out the reality and individuality at Central. Blackhawk Publications grew in many ways this year and hopefully, the firsts that were accom- plished this year will be continued in the future. Many students from Publications won college scholarships, writing contests and other activities that help prove that EVERYTHING at Central is No. 1.

Clubs began to operate, new one’s formed; some old one’s died. Again, daily announcements boomed through the intercom of bake sales, bazaars, and other outside activities. Students tripped through the door a little earlier than usual for meetings and forsakened other outside activities for the long, hard hours of work needed to complete a project. Each giving a little; each gaining much knowledge. Life became a little more interesting; a lot more meaningful. Time traveled on — much happened throughout the year; the bazaars had been successful, the bake sales were great! — a few students gained a little too much weight. The trips were taken to far away places and students experienced much pleasure and happiness. Trinkets were purchased for memories sake but one memory remained without a solid object to grasp — These students belonged, satisfaction whirled about them, but most important of all they knew, whenever it was needed, they had a friend to stand beside them.

For the first time in its history, the Central baseball team not only participated in Metro competition but went on into a new type of system consisting of a summer schedule with State championship play in late summer. Head Coach William Freese explained. Following the Spring State Tournament in 1972 the Iowa High School Athletic Associa- tion (IHSSA) dropped the Spring Series and extended the baseball schedule to July with the State Tournament scheduled to be played in August. One of the team’s major achievements of the year was a fine 8-4 record in Metro competition. Coach Freese stated. We took sec- ond in the Metro Conference when we weren't even supposed to be a contender.” He was referring to the preseason ratings which had Central placed toward the bottom half of the Conference. He con- tinued. We then went on to successfully have a winning season during the summer. The Imps finished 15-8 during the summer to complete a 23-12 season. In their first game of the District competition, the team took it on the chin in a close game with West. 1 -0. One of the highlights of the season was a perfect game pitched by Bob Stepp against Wahlert. A perfect game consists of a pitcher allowing no runs. hits, or walks made against himself. Coach Freese, who has never before coached a pitcher who hurled a per- fect game, recalled the game saying. Bob had very good control and he was always ’ahead of the batter. He had a good fastball and changeup (offspeed) pitch that day. Coach Freese commented that Stepp at this time, is one of the best pitchers I have ever coached.” Besides his perfect game. Stepp pitched ten more starts and fin- ished with an 8-3 record. He also pitched three games in relief and ’saved’ all three. He set a team record by posting a .42 earned run average (ERA) to break the old record of 1.11. Nineteen men were awarded varsity letters for the spring and summer season. Lloyd Weisbrook was the team's only Gold ‘D’ win- ner. When post season awards were distributed. Bob Stepp was placed on the first team All State and All District as a pitcher. Lloyd Weisbrook and Dave Martens were named on the All District first team as catcher and shortstop respectively. Our biggest strengths were our fine pitching and our fine defense. explained Coach Freese. This year’s pitching staff was one of my better ones and our defense was consistent throughout the season. Besides Stepp. Dave Johnson came on strong with his pitching and even finished with a lower ERA. though he didn’t pitch as many complete games. ’’Our biggest weakness was our offense. Coach Freese commented. They were just not consist- ent. Asked whether or not the team did as well as he had expected. Coach Freese stated. They more than lived up to my expectations. You might say they ’did themselves proud'. — by Chuck Van Hecke Season’s Record Batte John OWs positions himselt for the oncoming p«tch. After connecting with the pitch.

Sell discipline, determination, and respect lor their teammates were the key factors for the 1973 girls' swim team this season as the tankers swam to a season record of 4-5. Most of the girls who go out for the swim team have a real interest in swimming. They work hard at every practice and try to do the best they can in every event that they swim. I feel the girls who are on the swim team are truly interested, devoted and skilled. No matter what their swimming abil- ity is they always try to do their best. says team member. Lizzi Hunt. Varsity members include seniors Denise Erstad. Betsy Broshar. Cherie Schultz, juniors Cindy Solomon. Diane Carey. Lori Laschan- sky, Melissa Larson, and sophomores Cheryl Martinez. Lisa Las- chansky.

Like all team competitors, the swim team members enjoy per- forming in front of an audience and. unfortunately, the support from fhe students and faculty at swim meets is very scarce as team par- ticipant, Cheryl Martinez comments. I think there should be a lot more school support by both students and faculty. We would do better if we knew that someone was there wanting us to win. Insufficient support by students and faculty does not seem to bother the swimmers though, because every member of the team gives all the confidence needed for each girl to feel like a part of the big family which is what helped make a success of the 1973 girls’ swim team. by Debbie Gahagan show power and prestige VOLLEYBALL TEAM Row One Diane Williams.

Coach Diane Hertel Central's second year girls' volleyball team continued to show power and prestige again this year by accomplishing a number of achievements rarely seen in such a young team. With a season record of 6 and 7. Central proved dangerous in the annual district meet which was held at Central and easily walked away with a sec- ond place finish, making them eligible for state competition where they were still making headlines. For the second consecutive year in a row. the girls placed in the top eight volleyball teams in the state by sweeping past Lemars(15-4,15-7), East DesMomes( 15-11.15- 6). and won 15-13. but lost 15-12. to Mason City. Their final game was taken away by Ft. Dodge who chalked up a score of 15-5. 15- 17 against the Imps. The 1973 varsity members included seniors Cheryl Smith. Steffie Riele. Gretchen Sitz. Pat Simmons, and Cecilia McQuay; juniors Laura Shawver. and Amy Baker; and sophomores Bobbie Folsom. Diane Williams, and serving specialist. Becca Scott. Cheryl Smith was selected as the most improved player over 1972 and lived up to this honor at state competition where Coach Hertel describes her efforts of that day. She played an outstanding game with continual alertness, fast reaction time, and good jump- ing. Next year should prove to be another fine one for Coach Hertel and her team as five varsity members will be returning including Bobbie Folsom, who was most active in the '73 season and Diane Williams who also shows excellent promise in the future for Central's volleyball team. by Debbie Gahagan Girls' Volleyball Season Record 2 North Scott i West 3 Bettendorf 0 Pleasant Valley 3 DeWitt 0 Dubuque Hempstead 1 Dubuque Wahlert 0 Dubuque Wahlert 33 Clinton 1 Pleasant Valley Dubuque Senior Bettendorf West (tV - i jr 69 Fall track team earns FALL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Row One: Ken GokJen.

Elliott McDonald With a shortened mile team dual meet sched- uled, the defending class 5A champion Central Blue Devils started team practice in August under veteran coach Ira Dunsworth. The season saw the Imps run to a 7-2 dual meet record, a conference championship, conference runners-up honors, and second and third placings in state competition. In the mile team half of the season, the Blue Devils went undefeated in duals, won at the Quad- City meet, and traveled to Ames to place second in statewide competition. The Blue Devils then moved into the cross coun- try part of the season, in which they compiled a 4- 2 dual mark, placed second in the Metro, and grabbed third at state. At the state meet in Grinnell, Jim Eicken and Ed Moreno highlighted Central’s season with a one- two individual finish. This marked the premiere time such a feat had been accomplished during Coach Dunworth’s tenure. After the varsity squad of Jim Eicken, Ed Mor- eno, Marion Lineberry, Keith Elzy, Rick Fuller, Ken Golden, and Tom Boldt successfully defended Central's championship in the Pekin Invitational, co-captains Eicken and Moreno were named to the all-state team of Iowa.

Mary Ann Preacher. Karen Mensing. Joanne levien. Heather Cote “The purpose of cheerleading is to promote school spirit and to support the athletes, both boys and girls,” stated Miss Diane Hertel, the cheer- leaders' coach. “The girls cheer at football and basketball games, swimming and wrestling meets for boys. They also cheer at volleyball and basket- ball games, swimming and gymnastics for girls and at pep auds to try and arouse school spirit.” The cheerleaders are brained, knowledgeable and dedicated. Tryouts are held in the spring. Gen- erally practices are held daily for three weeks and must be attended in order to be eligible both athlet- ically and gradewise. Candidates are judged by a panel of judges on skill, personality, and knowl- edge of cheers. On the first night of tryouts, 17 girls are chosen. Then on the second night cheers, stunts, and jumps are performed to determine which five girls will be put on the varsity squad. The remaining girls are put into two squads of junior varsity. Our cheerleaders this year are Betsy Broshar, Heather Cole, JoAnn Levien, Karen Mensing, and Mary Ann Preacher on the varsity squad. The Blue Squad consists of Terri Agnitsch, Diane Carey, Shelly Case, Melissa Larson, Stef Riefe, and Lori Thomason. Liz Eshbaugh, Cecilia McQuay, Debbie Posey, Shari Shawver. Cherie Shultz, and Gretchen Sitz make up the Red Squad. Cecilia McQuay replied, “If anyone has any desire to participate in any extra-curricular activi- ties they should try out for cheerleading. It's a lot of fun and it’s a faster way to get acquainted with some schoolmates you may not otherwise meet.” “We practice at least two to five hours a week and the girls practice on their own,” stated Miss Hertel. Practicing doesn’t always save you from an embarrassing predicament, as Gretchen Sitz pain- fully remembers, “We were at a cheerleading clinic in Burlington and when we were running out onto the floor to do our cheer I threw my round-off really hard and fell flat on my rear-end. I was so embarrassed, I just sat there with my head on my hands and laughed. BLUE SQUAD Shelley Case. Terri Agnilsch. Steffie Riefe. Lori Thomason. Diane Carey.

Head Coach Jim Fox addressed prospec- tive gridders by saying, '•There are two things we want to accomplish this season One s to be one of the best football teams Central has ever had and the other is to have fun indeed the Blue Devtls accom- plished these and many other feats during '73 campaign Back on August 17. the Imps had their work cut out for them Many expected them to be tough this year, but many were surprised when just after school started, the AP polls packed CHS No 1' The opponents for the opening game were the Clinton River Kings. For the first time in many years. CHS dumped the wing-T formation for the T' formation. Coach Fox said that the I didn't depend on the size of people as much as the ability of them. Clinton tried, but to no avail, as the Imps started things rolling with a 19-6 victory After a 41 -6 shellacking of Burlington, the Imps thrashed the Dubu- que Wahlert Golden Eagles by a 33-0 count. Next on the agenda, the Assumption Knights' Played in a torreniial downpour, the Imps and Knights battled to a 7-7 tie Then the new rule m the Metro for an overtime period was initiated The overtime rules call for the captains of each team to meet and flip a coin to decide who would be on defense first The ball is then placed on the opponents' 10 yard line and the offensive team is given four downs to score any way they can The team on defense also gets a crack and the team with'the most points at the end of a series for a club is the winner.

Craig again, for a record 38th carry for one game, lugged the ball forward and thrashed into the middle of the Knights' defense He appeared to be into the end zone when he was hit and the ball squirted fruit- lessly from his grasp. An Assumption defender plopped on it to end the game and hand the Blue Devils their only setback of the season. Curt, commenting on the most frustrating moment of the season, explained. It definitely was the Assumption game I'd give anything to play them over I was across the lino when the ball squirted out of my grasp. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I finally went to bed about 5 o'clock in the morning, Quarterback Mahoski echoed Curt's feelings by saying that it was a very bitter defeat and added. I think the thing the team and myself had to do was to put this game m the past and look forward, knowing we had to improve. Revenge was sweet tor the Imps and difficult for AJleman and West as the Blue Devils shut out both teams by the scores of 49-9 and 27-0. respec- tively. Offensive coordinator Tom Murphy was asked to compare the '73 team to those of the past and he said. I really don't think you can make a compari- son because this is the first true champion we've had. although we've had mythical champs before I'd have to say this was a closer knit group of guys than others we've had With only Illinois teams left on the schedule, the Imps kept the ball rolling with a 28-12 verdict over a very stubborn East Moline team that was the only team during the regular season to score more than one touchdown against the rugged Imp defense. Fullback Fred Harris blocks out Dowling onrushers as Curtis Craig lugs the pigskin in the state championship victory.

It took a strong second hall to thwart the Molmers. 28-7 Rock Island was the last regular season opponents and the Imps finished on a winmng note, this time by a 29-6 conquest. It wasn't until the team returned to Brady Stadium that night that they learned they edged Cedar Rapids Washington by live points for one ol the lour berths in the state championship ptayofls. The playoff site was Brady Field. so all the seniors had one more chance to play before a home crowd On a brisk but bright Saturday afternoon, the Trojans of East Waterloo (rated No. 1 in the state) invaded Brady FiekJ. an act they will unfavorably remember as the Imps toppled the No. 1 team. 48-7.

Dowling stubbornly fought back to within two touchdowns With only seconds to play, the Maroon defense scooped up an Andy Jensen fumble and raced in for the score.

Sophomore gridders display jubilation over a touchdown m their victory over crosstown rrval West. Coach Jerry Hodge shouts instructions to his charges trom the sidelines. 80 For the future A smashing 45-14 victory over city rival West was one of the highlights of the sophomore foot- ball team’s 1973 season as they compiled a 3-6 record, finishing fourth in the always tough Quad- City Metro conference. The battling sophomore gridders rolled over the West Falcons in that game under the sparkling leadership of quarterback Willie Cauthen who drove his way to six touchdowns. Cauthen was named by Head Coach Jerry Hodge as one of their “outstanding” players, as he also led the team in the Rock Island game by gaining 160 yards in 37 tries. The team had been winless going into the Alle- man game, with losses at the hands of Clinton, Burlington, Dubuque Wehlert, and Assumption. Coach Hodge viewed the Alleman game as “the turning point” in the season, with a close game going to the Blue Devil sophs, 18-12. They then went on to crush West, 45-14, and battle the East Moline Panthers to an 8-0 shutout. The final two games were losing efforts, to Moline 27-8, and Rock Island 47-22. The team ended with a 3-6 season’s record and a 3-3 record with a fourth place conference finish. Coach Jerry Hodge remarked, “I believe that throughout the season we had very good enthusi- asm; it was that our morale dipped up and down. I thought we had a rewarding season for the play- ers, anyway.” In addition to Cauthen who gained 620 yards for the season, Coach Hodge also named guard Dave Manlove, halfback Tim Wiseman, and tailback Wille Hill as “excellent” players. Players commenting on the season agreed that the team had a mediocre year but also agreed that the personnel they had was capable of better things. by Brent O’Malley Halfback Willie Hill gels an equipment treat- ment from head mentor Jerry Hodge Quarterback Willie Cauthen talks game strategy over the field phone with coaches up in the press box. 81 Swimmers and coach Head Coach Larry Swanson accepts Iowa Swim Coach of the Year honors at the state meet in Ames This year with a varsity squad of seven sophomores, seven juniors, six seniors, and an ambitious junior-varsity unit. Coach Larry Swanson and assistant Manny Fritz turned out a team with a dual meet record of six wins and four losses, took third in the Metro Conference, won the district meet, and brought Central High tankers a sixth at the state meet. In the Rock Island Relays. Central took a fourth place honor; they placed first in the West Invitational; and took sec- ond in the Sophomore Conference Championship Meet. Dan Schmidt.

The varsity team, with a 2-9 record, had many new faces and went through a lot of changes this year. This squad was made up of six seniors, two juniors and four sophomores which may be why they had such a disappointing season, because of inexperi- ence in the lower weights. Central had four wrestlers make it to the District meet this year — Frank Pena, Curtis Craig, Jed Steckel and Fred Harris. Unfortunately, the only wrestler to make it through the competition at Dis- trict was Curtis Craig, so on to the State Tourna- ment he went. At the State Tournament Curtis was very disappointed as the best he could do was notch a third place finish. The combined record for the junior varsity and sophomore teams was a very disappointing 1-10 for the season. The junior varsity and sophomore teams had a new coach in the person of Paul Flynn. Also a new assistant coach for the wrestling teams appeared at Central in the person of James Fox. in Sectional 87 During a timeout. Fred Harris gets some helpful advice from Coach Murphy.

Among the Devil victories are surprising upsets, including those over Moline and Dubuque Wahlert. “The Moline victory, 67-61, was our best overall performance, as Moline previously had defeated the number one team in Illinois,” claimed Coach Grensing. “The Wahlert victory broke their four- teen game Iowa winning streak.” Though the tallest man on the squad was 6'4 , the lack of height didn’t seem to hamper the team against taller clubs. Coach Grensing summarizes, “I think the hustle and desire made up for the lack of height, and in over half of our games we out- rebounded our opponents.” Coach Grensing cited the layoff as a major problem that hurt the team. This “layoff” was a rule passed by the Iowa High School Athletic Association, preventing all Iowa teams from participating in holiday tournaments or practices, to conserve energy. The rule greatly affected the ‘river border’ cities whose teams had to face Illinois opponents. After the layoff, Central had to play three Illinois teams in their next four games. They lost to two of the Illinois teams and continued on to lose five of their next seven games until a victory over Bettendorf ended the skid. The cagers finished their season by winning five out of their last six regular season games. In their first District contest, Central took it on the chin in a tough battle with West, 51 -43. The team was led throughout most of the sea- son by the scoring of Mike Eckert and Ted Tensley, who finished with 13.7 and 12.2 averages respec- tively. Coach Grensing summed up the season, “Any- time at Central you can defeat Rock Island twice, Alleman, Moline, Wahlert, Clinton, Assumption, and Bettendorf, it (the season) can be called satis- fying.” by Chuck Van Hecke 90 Center Ted Tensley (32) positions himselt for a rebound in case Mark Wagner's (54) layup is unsuccessful to end with respectable season Senior forward Bob Aye (44) fires a jump shot over the outstretched arms of an East Moline defender.

Imps center Jeff Hofmann goes up to tip a jump during the Assumption game. A 55-42 court victory over city rival West proved to be one of the high- lights from the 1973-74 sophomore basketball schedule. The victory over West began a six game winning streak, which included an overtime vic- tory over Dubuque Wahlert. The streak was not ended until league leading Moline took a close decision from the Blue Devils in the finale of the sea- son, but not before the Imps had improved their record to a respectable 10-8. Head Coach Jim Groenenboom called the three two-game weekends as highlights also, since the Blue Devils took all six of these contests, which included a 24-point victory over Burlington on the Greyhounds’ court. Coach Groenenboom named Willie Cauthen as the best defensive player of the year, while guard John Blunk was called one of the top offen- sive players with his expert passing setting up many easy scores. Groe- nenboom called the scoring balanced while saying, “The team showed improvement throughout the year and they didn’t give up.’’ Leading the team to 10 victories this year were Dave Cribbs, Willie Cau- then, John Blunk, Ron McCann, Todd Fuhs, Jeff Hofmann, and Jeff Lev- etzow, along with healthy reserves and good crowds at home games.

All new records were set this year, explained girls’ basketball Head Coach Bob Ballard in describing his team's season. This came about because 1973-74 was the premiere season for the girls participating in the eager sport interscholasti- cally. Many area squads felt the sting of the Blue Dev- ils with only one team finding the right combination to top the Imps in the regular season. A 40% field goal percentage and a 57.9 scoring average allowed Central to build the best area record, 13-2, with their only loss in regular season early in the year to West, 48-38. After the Blue Devils were defeated by the cross- town rival Falcons, they won nine straight, includ- ing a 49-33 trouncing of West in their return match. Central then prepared for tournament play against experienced West Liberty but in a very tight ball game, the Belles defeated the Imps, 43- 31. With a starting lineup of three juniors and three seniors, the Imps totaled 867 points in 15 games while just giving up 684, for a 45.6 defensive aver- age. Another reason for Central’s success as a first year ball club was their rebounding as Coach Bal- lard explains, We controlled the ball 78% of the time on defensive rebounds, and 64% of the time on offense, and any time a team can get over 50%, they’re doing good.” Although the Imps will lose starters Denise Erstad. Pat Simmons, and Cheryl Smith, plus reserves Connie Grothusen, Kathy Hoeksema, Nancy Lucas, Shari Shawver, and Veronica Patton due to graduation, the squad will have a multitude of talent returning for next year's team. Three underclassmen started on this year’s team with 5'11 Amy Baker heading the offensive list as she led the team in scoring with a 21.7 per game average. Guard Laura Shawver headed the defensive in rebounding with nearly nine a game and fellow starter Jenni Mayer will also return.

As the season progressed and the CHS gym- nasts continuously strived for perfection, their efforts came to be well worth their time when the squad finished in third place at District and one week later came through with a fifth placing in regional competition. Although as a team, Central’s gymnasts did not qualify for the state meet, senior Jill Behncke and junior Cindy Predmore competed on an individual basis in state competition.

Head Coach Larry Jacobsen felt the team had a pretty good fall season but we’re going to have to try harder to catch Rock Island and Moline. Both of these schools have very good tennis pro- grams.” Jacobsen explained that West and Cen- tral are trying to catch up by employing a better program, but that it takes time. In the spring, the team competed in 12 matches before playing in state competition. From there, the top two individual and doubles champs advanced to state play in Des Moines.

We've got a hard road ahead of us,” were the words of girls' tennis coach Miss Chris Swope last fall while discussing the future schedule of the CHS girls’ tennis team and the girls came out with an excellent record of 5 and 7. The Central girls, along with first year coach Miss Swope, played 12 teams from all around the area and the girls showed superb dedication and talent for the sport of tennis. Members of the 1973-74 girls’ tennis squad include sophomores Patti Cale, Marie Kautz, Mela- nie Swanson, Jenni DeSilva, Sue Arzberger, Becca Scott, Mindy Fangmann, Rosemary Richards, Stef- fie Greer, Lynell Duley, junior Kristi Cooke, and seniors Annette Steckel, Azi Koojori, Teresa Gal- lup, Laura Bohn, and Jill Wentworth.

Golf is the only outdoor sport in which the weather is the major factor in determining the length of the season. Because of the large amount of rain in the fall, the boys’ golf team was unable to play its usual number of practices and meets. But the squad, led by senior Gary Youngberg, finished in fifth place in the Metro Conference. In the spring, the team played in 12 meets, plus a new sophomore tourney, before going on into sectional competifion and to the state tournament. Coach Diane Hertel’s girls’ team (which com- petes only in the spring) added 12 new members to their remaining four lettermen and played 11 meets before advancing into competition for a spot in the state tournament. A 105 Senior Bob Fulton keeps his eye on the ball as he unwinds into his drive. Dunsworth and His Boys Capture The 1974 Central High spring track squad had a lot to prove as they started the season with almost the exact same nucleus back that gained them the state AA title just one season previous. With a few new additions and a quantity of old faces, the Blue Devils started indoor workouts ear- lier than usual this year in January. With the addi- tion of girls’ track to the program, the “dungeon” became more crowded than past seasons but the tracksters didn’t seem to let the situation bother them as they won the Quad City Indoor meet with ease. The closest threat to Central’s indoor throne defense was the always tough Rock Island Rocks. The Rocks, who almost knocked off the unde- feated Imps of 1973 in the outdoor conference contest, pushed the senior dominated Central to the wire again this year. The defending state champion Blue Devils had a fine quartet of seniors that lead them in the sprints. These four, Fred Parks, Curtis Craig, Neil Thomas, and Bob Bostic, ran the 440 and 880 relays all sea- son and all four participated in the 100 and 220 at various times. In the hurdle events Central had one of the strongest showings and some of the finest depth ever as they swept the conference indoor meet in the hurdle events’ top three places. Returning let- terman Bob Bostic, Bich Bell, Chris Bryant, and Tony Steverson did the trick in both the high and low hurdles. Seniors Bryant, C. E. Kelley, and Jeff McGuire led the squad in the 440. The distance events had four familiar faces and two new ones for Central. Three year letterman Ed Moreno and Marion Line- berry ran the 880 and mile for the Blue Devils, along with juniors Tom Boldt and Keith Elzy. The two mile was handled by a pair of new additions to the team. Transfer student junior Jim Eicken, who grabbed a state individual cross country title in the fall for the Imps, and sophomore Rick Fuller proved to be leaders in the two mile for this area. In the weight events four seniors carried the load for Central. Under new weight coach Lonnie Wil- kinson; Steve Ceurvorst, Jed Steckel, Fred Harris, and Pete Miclot threw their way into dominance of the team for the upperclassmen. New faces showed up in the field events for Central with sophomores Andy Jensen and Jeff Hofmann proving themselves veiy capable in the pole vault and high jump. Junior Tim Sprague joined Jensen in strengthening the pole vault for the Imps, and Rich Bell and Curtis Craig partici- pated in the high jump. 106 State Championship High jumper Rich Bell grimaces as he clears the cross bar in an effort to beat his previous jump.

First Year for Girls’ Track A new dimension has been added to the rapidly growing list of girls’ athletics and this new addition is girls’ track. The 1974 girls’ track team, headed by Coach Ira Dunsworth, will be competing in seven meets for their premiere season and included in these meets will be events such as distant medleys, hurdles, miles, shot put, discus, long jump, high jump and an assortment of many more will be performed by the sqaud. With such a large squad, Coach Dunsworth needs plenty of assistance to make the most of the girls’ talent. Along with Dunsworth, who works with middle distance and distance runners, is Lonnie Wilkinson working in the field events, Jerry Hodge assisting in jumping events and Manny Fritz who works with the girls in hurdles and dashes.

No Stereotypes Here The success of any educational institution depends upon the foresight of a community- minded board of directors to determine policies, upon the wise counsel of an administrative staff to help formulate those policies, and upon the daily efforts of a professional staff to implement those policies. Throughout the year, meetings are held by many parties to assure the citizens of Davenport that a first-class education is offered to those stu- dents desiring such. Students here at Central are very conscious of the many policy-making deci- sions that filter down to them through administra- tors and teachers. To most of them, students react favorably; to others, students discover confusion. To offset this, CHS is represented on the School Board by representatives who serve as a voice of the students, with the purpose being to gain a better understanding and rapport among students, administrators, and School Board members. In a democratic society of today it is essential that all parties be involved in the educational proc- ess, and the School Board has indeed imple- mented practices that assure the students of Cen- tral and other schools that they have a direct line of communication to the Board and administrative officials. It is such actions as this that makes education in Davenport an exciting experience. Education Principal Lawrence Gehring BOARD OF EDUCATION Row One: Mrs. Hortense West.

PLATO Bart Becker Maryann Blair Jean Booth Bruce Bothwell Willard Branch Guidance Mathematics Language Arts Language Arts Industrial Arts Over the years many things have changed. This year, self-scheduling was introduced in this area. The idea of picking the time, day, and teacher was something new. And teachers themselves have their own opinions on how schools and students have changed. Mrs. Maxine Hixson, fine arts teacher, states, “There are many more subjects to be offered than just reading and writing. There are more courses offered in the subject they choose for a career. Foreign language instructor Mrs. Carlene Win feels, “There is more emphasis for individual instruction, and then Mrs. Kathryn DeReus of the business education says, “The students have changed in the way they dress and they can now pick their own schedule.” Mrs. Patricia Laimans, home economics teacher, simply states, “We are trying to work on an individual basis. Physical education instructor Miss Kristin McBride comments, “Students want to carry the role of adults too soon. They want a job, clothes, and a car. Because of this, there are less students involved in extra-curricular activities. Counselor Tom Buis feels, “Students have a great choice of subjects — more than ever before. For example, it used to be students had to take American history for the full year. Now it is a one semester course and they have the choice of other social studies courses. In English, it used to be one, two, three! Now there are about 20 courses to choose from.” When asked to assess education, most teachers thought it could stand a few changes. Arthur Cole- man, foreign language teacher, says, “I have a pessimistic view. The standards have slipped a great deal and are a mere shadow of what was once known as true appreciation for academic dis- cipline.” Counselor Bart Becker comments, “There should be more for the non-college bound stu- dents. More students have jobs. There is too much emphasis on having a job. Students are more inter- ested in having money instead of studying for school.” Principal Lawrence Gehring states, “Stu- dents know more than in the past. Schools are changing and are becoming more open. Students come to school for what they can get from it.” Social Studies instructor Larence Ashpole feels, “There needs to be more self-discipline. Education has gone too far in trying to meet the needs of all people and to solve all problems. We need to push academic content and develop greater self-disci- pline.” Business Education Department Chairman Miss Cecile Logic comments, “With the career educa- tion focal point at this time, students should be able to take the necessary courses toward their career goal instead of having to take so many required courses that are not directly related to it. Students should have an opportunity to explore the business world and its content. This will enable them to find full employment after graduation. We must face the fact that not everybody is going to college.” 117 Esther Buerstetta Tom Buis Robert Cahoy Ronald Carrick Esther Caudle Gerald Arnold Christian Language Arts Guidance Guidance Mathematics Guidance Cavanuagh Science Social Studies Betty Christian Arthur Coleman Elihu Cooper James Crooks Roger Crooks Jon Curtis Ted Curtis Language Arts Foreign Foreign Science Social Studies Art Social Studies Language Language Martin Danielson Business Education Kathryn DeReus Business Education Robert Dickey Mathematics Steve Duffy Teacher Associate Ira Dunsworth Jack Elkin Susan Flack Science Social Studies Art Perhaps the most valuable results of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do.

David Lein, language arts teacher, says. ‘‘I would like to see shorter courses. Have them be a quarter; then you could offer more courses that are not offered now, such as photography. Students have changed in the way of dress, feels Mrs. Laimans, It is more casual and the classroom is more casual also. But students them- selves haven’t changed much from a few years ago. Miss Diane Hertel, physical education instructor, comments, Students today are less interested in what they are doing. They don’t participate in school activities as much as they used to. There is less rah-rah loyalty. They think they have to work; instead, they should be enjoying their lives now while not working.” Concerning the ideal student, teachers had common opinions. Mrs. Win says, The ideal stu- dent is someone who tries. I know that not all stu- dents are capable of doing ‘A’ work, but if they are always trying their best, they will pass with a 'C’ at least. Principal Gehring states, The ideal student is someone who goes to school because he wants to learn. He is curious. He wants more than just get- ting grades and participating in certain activities. Someone who wants to get somewhere. It is important to them what they learn.” Miss Hertel says, Anybody who remains open to new ideas and acquires some sort of knowl- edge. Miss McBride feels. Someone who has a pleas- ant personality. They don't necessarily have to be skilled, but they should have a sense of humor.” The ideal student has respect for himself and for his fellow students, states Mr. Ashpole, They strive to become educated, totally educated, not specialized. He works for improvement at his own level. 120 Kristin McBride Christine Donald McGee Cherry Mcllvain Delbert Menke John Miller Kathleen Miller Physical McCreight Guidance Language Arts Vocational Language Arts Language Arts Education Home Electronics Economics Larry Minard Language Arts Clarence Modglin Vocational Auto Mechanics Thomas Murphy Mathematics Thomas Naab Language Arts Esther Nabity Physical Education Robert Newell Driver Education Donald Newman Teacher Associate Ronald Owen Driver Education William Owens Social Studies Teresa Pagan Social Studies and Language Arts Wendell Paxton Industrial Arts Larry Peters Guidance Randy Peters Mathematics Kay Phillips Social Studies Stephen Rich Mathematics Beatrice Rosenberg Guidance Rayburn Pierce Orchestra George Pitcher Industrial Arts Cheri Proudfit Physical Education Dallas Queck Science Robert Rowe Industrial Arts Betty Schultze Home Economics Scott Sherwood Paul Shumaker Mary Sieved Thomas Sited Richard Skinner Mathematics Art Science Industrial Arts Teacher CL Virginia Soults Richard Stahl Tony Strodtbeck Diane Summers Larry Swanson Nurse Language Arts Language Arts Language Arts Physical Education Peter Sweedy Max Thompson Geraldine Toher Cliflord Uhrich RodVahl Larry Valverde JudyVukelich Science Social Studies Guidance Mathematics Language Arts Industrial Arts Foreign Language Robert Wehlage Lonny Wilkinson Sherry Willard Cartene Win Jett Winter Edwin Wooten Gerald Zavitz Industrial Arts Driver Education Home Foreign Teacher Science Social Studies Economics Language Associate ‘Tis education forms the common mind: just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

Scott Greoory Joseph Greffl Karen Grik Nancy Constance Joel Haack Groenwoldt Grothusen Not all seniors took such a confident view on the perfection of Central and had some suggestions for changes to be made. It could be better because the students are responsible enough to have an open campus, but the academic selection and quality of the teachers are among the best. Still, there are many things which I feel could be changed for the better,” explained Chris Carrig. Of course, there were those who took a very nonchalant view of Central as Cathy Dunker stated, “I come here to go to school, that’s all.” Dan Habr James Haffarnan Carolyn Halner Mary Hagedorn Richard Haire Donald Hall Roger Hamann 128 Deborah Timothy Henning Jayne Heppe Mark Heritage Karon HickJe Lueflen Darlene Hmingor Henderson Hildebrand Gary Hoard Herbert Hodges Kathy Hoeksema Sharon Hofeldt Lawrence Susan Hottman Robin Holcomb Hoffman Mark Homan Steven Houk 8rian Housley Jay Hughes Mindy Hull Kevin Hunter Leigh Hunt This year was one of questioning traditions and conditions and one thing, the clubs, were especially being questioned due to small membership and whether or not they were, in general, worth all the hassle. Seniors took for the most part a very defensive view for clubs. “I don’t think clubs should be eliminated just because of their small memberships. If people enjoy the club and its purpose, then the club should be allowed to exist. Also, if the club is helping a person prepare for a future career such as the Future Teachers Club and Future Secretaries Association, then the club should be allowed to exist because it could help some students decide whether that is what he really is interested in doing.” expounded Amy Jackson.

Simply going to class isn’t sufficient for those who want more out of our educational system. I think clubs should be revised but not dropped.” The students who want a club and can run it should have a chance. If the club is small but very active why should they have to quit because they do not have a large enough membership. I do believe that anybody should be able to join any club if they want to,” explained Charlie Gehrmann. Mike Golden added that Clubs should not be eliminated because they have many projects that are beneficial to either the members or the student body.” 130 Not all students were pleased with the present school traditions and had some ideas on new traditions which should be added. Senior Budd Batterson said, “I think that the tradition of degrading the sophomores should be eliminated and replaced with sophomores degrading the seniors because they will have to go out into the world next year and leave the sanctity of Central.” “We should have a locker day in which all students would be confined to their lockers and teachers would patrol the halls with yardsticks and whack all noses or fingers sticking out of the holes in the lockers. We should also aid in the conservation of fuel during the fuel shortage and have an annual book burning day in the library,” expounded John Jacobs with excitement.

Jacqueline Prior Scott Quailey Many students this year have been trying to find those qualities which make an ideal teacher. Each student has qualities which they admire in a teacher and tried to express them. “The ideal teacher is one who listens to what the student has to say,” said Fay Barkley, while Laura Bohn left the possibilities wide open when she said, “The ideal teacher is anyone taller than Mr. Elkin.” Scott Quailey described his conception of the ideal teacher in this manner, “Fairly young, female, good looking, not too strict but in control over the class.” “An ideal teacher is one that doesn’t force you to learn but makes you do it because you want to,” expressed Jill Wentworth.

Embarrassment was topped off by Joe Greitl saying, “The time my pants fell down during marching band.” Everyday someone is embarrassed. We have our everyday run of the mill embarrassments and the rare occasion kind like “I lost nine locker keys in one year and Mr. Still suggested that we take the money and start a scholarship fund,” replied Melissa Olsen. Joanne Levein said that “Falling down twice during the same cheer at the state championship in front of 21,000 people,” was her most embarrassing experience.

Jeff Jones showed some genuine concern for them when he asked the question, “I just wonder how long they can keep locking them up in the North Annex attic without one of them telling their mommies?” There is always some knowledge to be gained by experience and seniors have a lot of advice to pass on to those underclassmen who are willing to listen. 13« I would suggest that students,” said Maurice Bray, plan to take courses which will not be too much of a burden. During one’s senior year many important decisions must be made which will have a bearing on the rest of their lives. Class loads should not be another burden to cope with.” I would tell underclassmen to work hard for good grades and also have fun at the same time,’’ advised Charlie Gehrmann. If you’re good in a field of study, stay with it, no matter how difficult the classes get as you go along, expressed Mike Golden, Also, try to strengthen those classes that you are weak in so if you go to college they won’t pull you down.” Ricky Soltau Douglas Stearns Annette Steckel Jed Steckot Ruth Stepanek Robert Stepp Barbara Steuart Michael Debra Sti nogel Steverson Sandra Stocker Storm Merrill Stout Robert Stuff Judy Swartz Barbara Denny Tank Stoitenberg _Syroonds_ Alice Taylor Margaret Taylor Robert Taylor Vickie Tegtmeier Catherine Terrell Wendell Terry Thomas Thiessen Cornelius James Janet Thompson Michael Dennis Karen Tismger Paul Tomei Thomas Thompson Thompson Thornington —------ Rebecca Paula Trautter Clay Tschillard Scott Turkle Marian Uhde Steve Untiedt Raynel Valdoz Townsend Paula Valentine Patricia Van jHficke— Vicky Van Hoosier Christopher Rebecca Vestal George Vieth Robert Voss Vargas Mark Wagner Craig Walrod Debra Walsh Mtchaet Walsh Brad Wanzell Linda Ward Linda Warner Randy Warnstadt Stephen Waters Diane Watson Rita Weaver Dennis Weber Leigh Weliendorl Susan Weltons Richard Wells Theodore Wells Jill Wentworth Barbara West Mary WesterliekJ James White Susan Whitlow Gerald Wicks Lynn Wieckhorst Allyn Wiese Gary Wiese Lynne Wilhelm Brenda Williams Cheryl Williams 138 Larua Wittslruck Elizabeth Wolf Pamela Royce Young Gary Youngberg Julie Zanutto Jeffery Zuhlsdorf Yeringfon Susan Zurborg Camera Shy Walter Allen Daniel Graves Jr. Gary Oefench Thomas Baltimore Thomas Grebner Paul Pabon Jill Behncke 'Robert Bostic Frances Harris Teri Peek Rodney Henderson Jacqueline Pillar Teresa Bostic William Holst Timothy Reyes Sonia Riggs David Brown Ramon Houston John Buri Lynn Hull Betty Rogers David Cale James Hutchins Peggy Ruge Leanne Cassatt Scott Jacobs Christopher Ryan Stephen Childs Michael Kelley Jerry Seier Robert Clarke Mary Kindred Victor Serrano Dana Cooke Joan La Grange Patrick Lanaghan Debb e Simatovich Diana Dau Steven Smith Thomas Devine Thomas Longnecker Roxie Spears Fred Dietz Michael Donahue Danny Lytle Eugene McCailister William Stinocher Theodis Tensley Robert Downs David McCray Joe Thorne Beverly Ellis Mark McGowen Angela Tripplett Frank Farrell Scott Meyer Benjamin Vargas Mike Farrell Ethel Moore Betty Walker Mark Flowers Ronald Moore Michael Ward Carolyn Gannett Howard Meyers Kim Wilson 139 Kinnick Stadium — now a real part It’s OURS!

Besides the fact of not hearing puns about being a sophomore and being eligible to direct such puns, stu- dents have this to say about their junior year. As comparedNto last year, school’s more enjoyable. There's a place for me as a junior. states Mona Priebe, Central seems more like a home now. Remembering the shuffling rush in between class and the sketched maps of Central's halls. Mary Peter- schmidt says. A big advantage of being a junior is knowing your way around! Central doesn’t look as big and as strange as it did last year.” Gail Kaplin, who refers to a junior as in the in between stage, says. Juniors gain more responsibili- ties. but are free from worrying about college for one more year. Another junior with much the same feeling as Gail replied. We don't have to leave next year and miss everything. 142 Row 1: Mike Aarons. Kathleen Alger. Amelia Allard. Cynthia Allard. Gary Amble. Steven Ames. Row 2: Joan Andresen. John Andresen.

Mary Carrig would rather stay a junior than be a senior. CHS students, as any group of people, have as many different opinions and ideas as there are people. When asked of their overall opinion of Central High School, students replied: It’s a great school. I’d rather go here than anywhere. It’s run smoothly.” Best in the state. Erin Rose, a new student in the community, replied. I’m new this year and I just love it! People really accept you well. Speaking very openly, a sincere junior has this to say about CHS. Just going to Central is a learning experience in itself. I think CHS is a cross section of our city with so many kinds of people to associate with. Central has always been a powerful school in all aspects. On the whole, most students seemed pretty proud of Central, and they have their reasons to be. 143 Row 1: Steven Carman. Mary Carrig.

Being able to compare with last year’s scheduling and classes juniors expressed their feeling such as I think the open campus lunch is great. Hike my classes. It's nice getting up later and getting out earlier. The lunch periods make most students happy. Intertwined with the school year are some activities and occasions that break the monotony and help keep everyone going. Juniors express their favorites to be. football games and in particular, winning West 27 to nothing. Lunch. The Christmas season. Allauds,” Homecoming and Spree.

I think it’s crazy and I sometimes like to do crazy things.” Everyone has lots of likes, dislikes and sometimes those unsatisfied ones with lots of wants and wishes. Asking students what they’d want if they could invent an ideal school system and ideal teachers, unbelievably enough, many could not answer, but the ones who did were Erin Rose, An ideal teacher is someone who teaches with what you can relate to.” “One that jokes around a lot and makes school more enjoyable.” One opinion of an ideal teacher is one that can’t talk or swing at ya.” Carol Roederer thinks an ideal school day is one “when the students and the teachers just sit and talk over things. With spending three years in one place (high school) lots of memorable things had to have happened. 147 It might be hard to remember exact situations but someday in your life a mental flashback might occur when you’ll be reminded of Central. When asking students of what they might remember about their junior year, a few of them gave very expressive stories! David Strayer will remember with a smile when he rehears screaming and commotion in his memory of an abnormal day for him in his junior year. David told a story about “the day I brought a frog to school and it got lost in the cafeteria. Girls were screaming and jumping on chairs, teachers yelling and David in hysterics!

And this year we dragged our weary bodies out of bed at an even earlier hour than past years because of the new school hours, 8:05 a.m. to 2:55 p.m. But few seem to mind: The hours this year are a lot better than they have ever been since I started school.

For there will stand that formidable, giant foe, Who just stands there and yells, “Buy a ticket!” A Photo Essay by Warren Stringer 160 All together we go 161 Monopoly Club A love for Monopoly and a prejudice for compe- titive clubs and organizations was the origin of the Monopoly Club. Two former CHS students thought up the idea of the club,” states club advisor Mr. Bruce Both- well. The club originated two years ago and has been a great club to be a part of, states Chris Jansen, one of 70 members. We meet every other Thursday, the days Cen- tral’s halls are colorful, remarks Chris, referring to the yellow and black Monopoly Club T-shirts. Room 113 at 4 p.m., continues Mr. Bothwell. We have a mini business meeting; then on to Monopoly. Business for the club is thinking up things to do that are different from other clubs. We do bizarre things, replied Mr. Bothwell. For instance we had an unbake sale, selling things that were uncooked. We give our profits to a charity. The purpose of Monopoly Club is to give an alternative to the club-minded person. 3 — X i-alJ) «V 'A VVuj AJ2 UATT ' Slr r$r a owv- - «V CK + ' £ ojIcu� crtA 162 (above): We're known as the 'cute people' ‘‘It used to be you could only join a club with a definite purpose, but the Monopoly Club’s purpose and benefits are in the individual himself, allowing the student a reality outlet and a place to meet people and act stupid,'' states Mr. Bothwell. He adds, “We protest the all American thing to kill one another. If there’s competition, it should be in something that doesn’t matter! Agreeing with his advisor, club president Budd Batterson has this to add. “Monopoly Club has given me a chance to understand the true feeling of a competitive sport. If you’re in a club and don’t understand it. Monopoly Club will help you gain a new insight of the purpose of clubs. Other officers for 73-74 are Steve Manlove, vice president; Jim Rosburg, secretary; and Mary Car- rig, Treasurer. (above lelt): Fire. Fire! (lell):' 'Someone's cheating.'' (below): Darn! Darn! Darn!

Discussions of the game that was to be played that night lingered in the air. Then the moment came and it was revealed to the school who would reign as the Homecoming Queen. The crowd was in awe as the Central football team proved its ability. 168 The queen was escorted onto the field and presented to the crowd during the halftime commencements. Row 1: Debbie Posey.

For the first time since Spree began, Student Council sponsored this once a year affair and took over all preparations for the voting, auds, and dance. As usual the voting of 12 candidates took place two weeks prior to the big dance. The one change from previous years being that guys as well as the girls could nominate their favorite senior guy and the student body being able to vote for king. While the annual aud took place, students watched and wondered which one would reign, but soon learned of another change: the delayed announcement of the king 'til the dance. After an enthusiastic evening at the Central- Assumption game, the fans left the Assumption gym feeling low but soon were filled with new excitement as they headed for the dance. The tradition of holding the dance in the George Edward Marshall Gym remained, along with the King’s Dance in which Curtis danced with his mother. Music was provided by “Spike” and proved to be the best dance of its kind ever held at Central. 174 The Blackhawk Staff Salutes WARNER-MED LIN STUDIOS 414 Brady Street for photography done in the 1974 Blackhawk SENIOR FORMAL PORTRAITS COLOR Sunshine 176 177 SjM| 179 Variety Show: 180 A Hit!!!

How would you like to be the director of our Christmas play? Me? So be it. Charlie forks out the fee of five cents at Lucy’s reminder, and it’s off to rehearsal. Everyone laughs, dances, and has a good time, but no one knows that Charlie is there. ‘‘Suppertime’’ is the time and tune, as senior Randy Warnstadt plays the part of everyone’s friend, Snoopy. 192 Many warm words of acceptance and appreciation were those of Lina and Azzie, as they accepted their Christmas gift from all of you, CHS.

The four officers are President Budd Batterson, Vice-President Susie Whitlow, Trea- surer Bob Aye and Secretary Chris Jansen. The four officers are chosen in the spring of each year by the student body and start serving their term the following fall of the new school year. There are 45 student senators, 15 from the sen- ior, junior and sophomore classes. The senators are elected by first getting a petition and having members'of their own grade sign it. Then, from all those who filed petitions 15 are chosen by mem- bers of the same grade to represent them on the Student Council. Also there are about 85 home- room representatives, one from each homeroom. These members are elected by their fellow class- mates in homeroom. The Student Council has four faculty advisors who are Lawrence Gehring, Ken Scodeller, Roger Brown and Orvill Kahler; the latter two working closest with the Council. Kahler commented on the Student Council, They are an active member of the Student Congress in the Quad Cities, and were the ones responsible for sponsoring and keeping alive Homecoming, and sponsored Spree this year.” Brown said, They take care of the Foreign Exchange Student, help pay part of the cost for our own Student Abroad Program, and help raise money for charities such as the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, and the Halfway House.” Student Council President Budd Batterson described this year’s Council as “One which has tried to improve itself by holding a seminar to learn more about running a good and representative Student Council. The Student Council usually meets twice a month in the Auditorium, but emer- gency meetings can be called with the advisors’ approval. I now pronounce you . Now a word from our President. 195 Taxi, Pies, and Singinc Maybe she didn't like the way my tie was fixed? The 1974 Student Affairs chairmen successfully pulled off another week of good times and profits for the student council on April 1 -5. This year's theme, the CHS Creature Feature,” was portrayed by the class monsters” collecting funds throughout the week, the haunted house, and the 50’s Monster Mash, which was held Friday, April 5 in the gym. Student Affairs week is sponsored by the Student Council and is the only fund raising event that stucco sponsors all year. 196 This is gonna be easy. Man! Telegrams . . . Head'em up. move'em out! But honestly, Igor, don't you think you could do something about that lisp. 197 . . something we’ll neve forget! This year, the newly formed American Field Service (AFS) played a major part in the Student Affairs activi- ties with AFS president, Steve Ceurvorst acting as chairman over the week's activities. There were 19 different events this year, including a monster auction, singing telegrams, the parking lot, taxi cabs, and three auds. In the sports aud, the students triumphed over the faculty in both girls’ volleyball, and boys' basketball. The highlight of the aud being Mr. Gehring's taxi ride through the gym. The ‘Monster Mash', our 50s sock hop was a great success again this year. It featured 50's music, co-ordi- nated by Dave Long, and was attended by students in 50’s garb. “This,” Budd Batterson stated, “was surely a grand finale to a very entertaining week. Will this be the biggest sucker at Central? Year after year new trends come and go. Some last a week or two, some just never end. Last year it was stars, stripes, and waffle stom- pers — this year it was hats. One by one the hats began invading the halls of Central, even to remain in place during classes. Shockingly enough, they even turned up in public places. Some were old and dingy, others new and bright. But all will agree that the one's publicly seen were positively out of sight! 200 A Photo Essay by Bill Stinocher W tft % '.v. m Senior Directory TERRI AGNITSCH Golf 11; Gymnastics 11; French Club 10. 11. 12; GRA 10. 11. 12; PEP Club 10. 11. 12; French Club President 12; Cheerleader (J.V.) 12.

Well, the year's almost over, and another summer will soon grab hold. But before you go, take one last look, it might be the one you'll cherish most. We've come a long way since Regis- tration day. We've mingled and mixed and mostly have become “one. 210 211 212 There's so many people you didn't get to know, so many you wish you would have met, and then your friends, the one's you'll never forget. Don't say “Good-bye, but “Seeyou soon. And keep that promise in years to come. The question arose about having changed, if you ask me, here's what I'd say. 213 214 School spirit isn’t as it should be and the cafeteria isn’t as clean as the ladies would like it to be, but with problems like these, how ter- rible can we be? Yes, CHS has changed, but for the better. A nd I’m proud of our school. No one is better! 215 The yearbook staff would like to thank the Business Education Department for devoting so much of their time in preparing the Senior Directory List. With their help the problem of a rush deadline was eliminated completely. We are grateful to the administration and faculty for their co-operation and patience during our production days. A special thanks to the second and sixth period journalism classes for helping us out whenever it was needed. Without the fantastic photographers this year, the yearbook would not be pos- sible. Each and every one deserves an award for the work they turned out. Pub kids became one big family and worked together many long hours to complete the book. Each one added a special touch, which only they will recognize as being their own, but the student body will recognize as being one. We thank C. E. Kelley for the many hours of hard labor on the Introduction, Sara Mast for submitting the winning cover design and for all art work through- out the book, and Dave Kalshoven for the long, hard hours spent creating lay- outs for special features in the book. Special feelings go to Thom Cashman, our Taylor Yearbook representative, for spending much, much time on final touches and for keeping his cool when things got rough. The most important asset to the completion of the book was Rod Vahl, publica- tions advisor. Without his understanding, patience, and determination, publi- cations would have fallen through. For this, he has captured the hearts of all Pub members and will remain there for many years to come. I — ♦
