Central High School - Blackhawk Yearbook (Davenport, IA)

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.

Jeff Mesick. advisor Ralph Kershaw The requirement for membership in the CHS D’ Men’s Club, explains senior Tom Olsen, a mem- ber of the club, Is to have received a varsity letter in a sport. 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.
